> France has suspended police use of stun grenades at student-led demonstrations, the interior minister said, as allegations of police brutality grew after several days of sometimes violent protests nationwide. Tens of thousands marched Tuesday for better high-school conditions, while President Emmanuel Macron met Prime Minister Sebastien Lecornu and other ministers that evening to address the crisis.
