Molotov cocktails were thrown at police who responded with tear gas, but the exchanges were less intense than on previous nights.

The police officer who shot Aboubakar Fofana has been charged with violent conduct leading to unintentional death. He now admits lying in giving evidence.

In a first version of events he said he acted in self defence, but now he says the shooting was an accident.
