Violent clashes between young rioters and Police continued for a fifth night in France, following the police killing of a teenager. Although overall violence appeared to lessen, 719 people were Arrested, 45 police officers were injured, and numerous vehicles, buildings, and fires were recorded. 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 mayor's home in a Paris suburb was targeted with a burning car, resulting in injuries to his wife and child. The crisis has affected Macron's diplomatic standing and prompted calls for a state of emergency.
