In France, riots spread and protesters spill into shopping areas
What: Riots over the police killing of a teenager in France spread to central Paris leading to the looting of stores on the rue de Rivoli and in the Westfield Forum des Halles mall. Many other cities also saw major riots.
Why it is important: The Galeries Lafayette stores (Haussmann, Grenoble and Lyon Bron) were also targeted.
The violence echoes the "yellow vest" demonstrations of 2018 and 2019, which also resulted in looting and property damage, and negatively affected tourism and retail spending.
