> France has imposed curfews in parts of Paris and other cities after a violent weekend of riots and looting. Protests that began a month ago over poor school conditions escalated into widespread violence tied to various public-service demands. After more than 2,400 arrests, Prime Minister Sebastien Lecornu addressed the unrest following an inter-ministerial meeting at the interior ministry on Monday.
