> France’s central government called on some local authorities to impose curfews after riots and looting over the weekend, which grew out of nationwide anti-government protests. Prime Minister Sebastien Lecornu faced pressure over security failures and left open the possibility of a state of emergency, while saying localized curfews were more appropriate for now.
