French police again under fire for 'excessive force'

Description

14 people ended up in the Loire River in Nantes last weekend with one man still missing after tear gas and sting-ball grenades were used to disperse a crowd of revellers during the annual "Fête de la Musique". Also, a French court finds the State responsible in a civil case where the plaintiff's health problems were proven to be caused by pollution. Boris Johnson is under fire for a PR stunt he passed off as a paparazzi photo. Finally, a grandmother's final wish comes true: to be arrested!
