That's all from me on today's live blog. Here's a summary of the day:

12.59am BST

Local and state law enforcement in Chicago are gearing up for a tense and potentially explosive night as hundreds of residents prepare to protest over the death of 13 year-old Adam Toledo, a Latino boy who was shot and killed by Chicago Police officer Eric Stillman 29 March. A demonstration is planned for Friday night at Logan Square park north of the predominantly Latino community of Little Village where Toledo grew up.

Body camera footage of the fatal encounter was released on Thursday and has since sparked outrage because of Toledo's age and initial allegations that he pointed a gun at officers that have since been proven false.

The authorities had initially indicated that Adam had a gun in his hand as he turned towards officers during the chase, after failing to obey commands to stop. But the body-cam video showed Adam stopping as the officer shouts after him, turning and putting his hands up, with no sign of a weapon. .." my colleagues Richard Luscombe and Gloria Oladipo wrote.
