Copies of French newspaper Charlie Hebdo are in short supply after seven million were sold following the deaths of 10 of its journalists.

The front cover shows a cartoon of the Prophet Mohammed holding a Je Suis Charlie placard which has become a symbol for freedom of speech.

All copies sold out in France within minutes and some distributors in the UK have been unable to get copies due to such high demand.

The newspaper usually has a circulation of 60,000.
