Cover image: Entre Nous © FRANCE 24

We take a look at who is responsible for the violence that broke out in France on October 17.

We also discuss the French government’s mea culpa and the ongoing political blame game, with a budding controversy over whether the vandals were "ultra-left" members or not.
