Tension across France has eased after nearly a week of riots and looting due to a police officer's fatal shooting of a teenager.

Nahel M, 17, was shot after police say he failed to comply with an order to stop his car in Nanterre near Paris.

The grandmother of the teen said her heart was "in pain" after a GoFundMe page was launched for the family of the police officer who shot Nahel. It has so far raised more than €1.1m (£956,200).

Meanwhile, French regional authorities are starting to announce financial support measures for looted businesses and hospitality venues amid fears the disruption will have an impact on the country’s tourism industry.

Millions of euros worth of damage to public transport and infrastructure has reportedly been caused across the country.
