In France's second-biggest city, deep-rooted frustrations have bubbled over into looting and vandalism following the death of 17-year-old Nahel Merzouk, who was shot by police during a traffic stop in a Paris suburb.

Sky News Europe's correspondent Siobhan Robbins has spoken with activist Kaouther Ben Mohamed, who told her that in Marseille there is "double discrimination" compared to the rest of France.

She said: "The first is the colour of your skin and your surname; The second is where you live."
