The big riots: France is sweeping up the debris after five nights of violence sparked by the shooting death of a teenaged boy by police, and bracing for more turmoil. The unrest poses a political and economic risk for President Emmanuel Macron, who scrapped a state visit to Germany that was due to start Sunday. Finance Minister Bruno Le Maire said some 10 shopping malls, more than 200 supermarkets, 250 tobacco shops and 250 bank outlets were attacked or looted on Friday night alone.
