5th Night Of Riots In Paris

PARIS (AP) — Young rioters clashed with police and targeted a mayor’s home with a burning car as France saw a fifth night of unrest sparked by the police killing of a teenager. Overall violence overnight Saturday appeared to lessen compared to previous nights. Police made 719 arrests nationwide by early Sunday after a mass security deployment aimed at quelling France’s worst social upheaval in years. The crisis is posing a new challenge to President Emmanuel Macron’s leadership. It is also exposing deep-seated discontent in low-income neighborhoods over discrimination and lack of opportunity. The 17-year-old whose death Tuesday spawned the anger was buried Saturday in a Muslim ceremony.
