France has seen another night of angry riots with protests spreading outside Paris, to cities including Marseille and Toulouse, as cars and buildings were set alight and stores looted.

Forty thousand officers have now been deployed to try to stop the protests, sparked by the shooting of a teenage boy by police during a traffic stop on Tuesday.

The police officer who shot and killed the 17-year-old boy, named only as Nahel M, has asked the teenager's family for forgiveness.
