Bricks, bins and even an e-scooter were thrown at police after a demonstration by protesters outside Southampton Central Police Station, before it moved close to the family home of Henry Nowak's killer, Vickrum Digwa. Digwa lied to police at the scene and falsely claimed he had been the victim of a racist attack - leading officers to arrest Henry rather than his killer. The Independent Office for Police Conduct has launched an investigation into the force's response and Prime Minister Keir Starmer said there are "serious questions for the police." Responding to the clashes with police, the Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood described the scenes as "completely unacceptable".

Profits at oil giant Shell have risen in the first three months of the year following the sharp increase in oil prices since the beginning of the Iran war. Shell reported profits of $6.92bn (£5.1bn) for the first quarter, which was higher than analysts had expected and up from $5.58bn in the same period a year earlier. "Shell delivered strong results enabled by our relentless focus on operational performance in a quarter marked by unprecedented disruption in global energy markets," said Shell chief executive Wael Sawan. Danny Gross, climate campaigner at Friends of the Earth, said: "Once again, fossil fuel giants are pocketing monstrous profits while drivers are being squeezed at the petrol pump and households are set to pay higher energy bills."

Spirit Airlines is shutting down as a business after failing to secure a $500m (£368m) bailout from the Trump administration. The budget airline was in talks with the US government about a rescue deal which would have saved it from collapse.

All upcoming flights with Spirit have been cancelled.
