French President Emmanuel Macron has announced an "emergency bill" to speed up the reconstruction of towns affected by riots over the past week following the killing of a 17-year-old at a traffic stop near Paris.
Speaking to around 250 French mayors gathered at the Elysée Palace on Tuesday, Macron said the bill would "eliminate all delays" and speed up reconstruction for the towns which suffered damage after the riots, without specifying when the text would be examined.
