"France's Riots: A Dangerous Crisis Unveiling Deep Social Tensions"

The fifth night of riots in France following the police killing of a teenager saw clashes between young rioters and police, with a mayor's home targeted with a burning car. Overall violence appeared to lessen compared to previous nights, with 719 people arrested, 45 police and other gendarmes injured, and numerous vehicles and buildings set on fire. The unrest has exposed deep-seated discontent in low-income neighborhoods over discrimination and lack of opportunity, posing a new challenge to President Emmanuel Macron's leadership. The crisis has prompted calls for a state of emergency to be imposed, and an investigation into attempted murder has been opened after the mayor's home was attacked.

El Salvador town under siege after police officer's death.

El Salvador has deployed 5,000 soldiers and 500 police to surround a town in the northwest of the country to arrest those responsible for the suspected gang killing of a police officer. President Nayib Bukele has suspended constitutional rights in a state of exception that allows police to swiftly arrest and jail suspected gang members while suspending their right to a lawyer and court approval of preliminary detention. The policy has been criticized by human rights groups, but is credited with cutting high rates of violent crime and supported by the majority of the population.

Italian Supreme Court orders retrial for American tourists in police murder case.

Italy's highest court has ordered two American tourists to stand a new trial for the 2019 killing of a policeman in central Rome following a botched attempt to buy drugs, but upheld a murder sentence for one of them. Finnegan Lee Elder was convicted of murder and sentenced to 24 years in jail for stabbing Mario Cerciello Rega to death in Rome, while his friend, Gabriel Christian Natale-Hjorth, was handed a 22-year term. The court said Natale-Hjorth should stand trial again because there was not enough evidence of his complicity in the killing.
