Police in France have arrested more than 700 protesters over the course of a fifth consecutive night of violence across several major cities, including its two largest, the capital Paris and the port city of Marseille.
The clashes between tens of thousands of police officers and largely young men out on the streets occurred in city centers, as well as suburbs and small towns, in response to the death of Nahel M., a 17-year-old teenager who was fatally shot by a police officer Tuesday after being stopped for a traffic violation.
