France in Turmoil: Riots and Curfews Grip the Nation
Riots and violence have erupted across France following the fatal shooting of a 17-year-old by a police officer. Cinemas have closed early, curfews have been imposed in certain cities, and the national football team has called for calm. The shooting has reignited long-standing complaints about police violence and racial discrimination in France's poorer urban suburbs. The violence has resulted in arrests, damage to property, and the cancellation of events. The ongoing turmoil is expected to impact the upcoming Fête du Cinéma discount scheme.
