France in Turmoil: Riots and Protests Escalate, President Urges Parents to Act

Rioting continues for a fourth night in cities across France, with over 1,300 arrests made and widespread damage reported. The unrest was sparked by the fatal police shooting of a 17-year-old in a Paris suburb. Despite a massive police deployment and appeals for calm, clashes between protesters and police persist, with cars and buildings set on fire and stores looted. The violence, fueled by long-standing tensions between police and disadvantaged communities, puts pressure on President Emmanuel Macron. The government has implemented tougher security measures, but the situation remains volatile.
