"France's Fiery Protests: A Dangerous Crisis Unfolds"

The mayor of a southern Paris suburb, Vincent Jeanbrun, accused rioters of ramming a car into his family home, injuring his spouse and one of his children. The attacks occurred while his family was sleeping. Meanwhile, protests in France have prompted youth protests in Switzerland, with seven people detained in Lausanne for causing damage to businesses. Iran has called on the French government to end the violent treatment of protesters, while China has complained about an attack on a bus carrying Chinese tourists in Marseille. Over 700 people were arrested overnight in France, and the protests were sparked by the death of a 17-year-old driver who was shot by a police officer during a traffic stop.
