Unrest in France continues. The situation was calmer last night. 78 detainees were reported.

President Emmanuel Macron is trying to contain the growing crisis after midnight riots in France sparked by the fatal police shooting of a North African teenager during a police check in a French suburb, Reuters reported.

Protesters angry after police shot a 17-year-old boy dead set cars and buildings ablaze in Paris suburbs and unrest spread to some other French cities and towns Wednesday night and Thursday morning, despite increased security efforts and the president's calls for calm.
