> A shooting in the northern French towns of Trappes and La Verrière killed one person and injured five, including a 12-year-old girl who was seriously wounded. President Emmanuel Macron called it a “terrorist and racist attack”. Investigators are examining whether the suspect conspired with a “terrorist group”. A monitoring group says more Muslims in Europe face racial discrimination.
