> France’s central government asked some local authorities on Monday to impose curfews, as it faced pressure over security failures following a weekend of riots and looting linked to nationwide anti-government protests. Prime Minister Sebastien Lecornu did not rule out a state of emergency, but said partial, local curfews were more appropriate for now and gave no details on affected cities.
