At least 150 people have been arrested across France after a second night of violence triggered by the fatal police shooting of a 17-year-old in Paris.

The teenager, named as Nahel M, was shot in his car in the Paris region after failing to stop when ordered to by traffic police.

French President Emmanuel Macron came out quickly and strongly in support of the family of the teenager calling his shooting by police "inexplicable and inexcusable".

In Nanterre, where Nahel was shot, vehicles were set on fire and police fired tear gas.
