Riots in France: police checks and partial evacuation of the Champs-Elysees


Paris (AFP) – Officers carry out checks and a partial evacuation of the Champs-Elysees in the French capital, Paris, as part of a large police presence deployed in anticipation of a fifth consecutive night of riots following the police killing of 17-year-old Nahel. Protesters, mostly minors, have torched cars, damaged infrastructure and clashed with police in an outpouring of rage since an officer shot Nahel M. point blank as he attempted to flee a traffic stop.
