> France is reeling from its worst rioting in years, after protests over education and the cost of living escalated into deadly violence across the country. Officials are considering curfews as the unrest fuels domestic blame and threatens to spread to neighboring European countries. Over the weekend, police fired tear gas and clashed with masked rioters who set fires and broke into shops and government buildings.
