High tension for tonight: violent clashes have occurred in Marseille. Public transport is prohibited in the afternoon. Accommodation in some of the many centers of Paris.

The killing by a police officer of 17-year-old Nahel has reignited unrest in France, with an unprecedented outbreak of violence during protests that have been going on for three nights.

Rebellion, mainly by young people in the streets, has brought the Elysee Palace to its feet, with Emmanuel Macron and his cabinet today deciding to take emergency measures to deal with the wave of violence.

The cancellation of some major events, the placement of armored police vehicles in some "hot spots" and the banning of demonstrations in Marseille, Bordeaux, Strasbourg and other cities are some of the measures taken.

There was also an appeal from the President to parents, asking them to keep their children at home.

"It is evident that the context in which we live, as we see it, is the result of sometimes organized, violent and equipped groups, which we condemn, arrest and who will be brought to justice, but also of many young people ", Macron said as he emphasized his appeal to parents.

Meanwhile, the Minister of Justice Eric Dupond-Moretti calls for a "judicial response" also against the parents of minors reported for vandalism and disturbances.

French Prime Minister Elisabeth Borne has announced for her part that armored gendarmerie vehicles will be deployed to prevent the spread of unrest throughout the country. In addition to the deployment of new vehicles, the security plan also provides for other measures such as the suspension of service in the Paris metro.

The funeral ceremony for Nahel is planned to be held tomorrow. The funeral will be another challenge for the authorities responsible for maintaining public order in Nanterre, where the violence erupted with the greatest intensity.

BANNING OF LARGE EVENTS - "The decision was made to cancel various festive events and various gatherings in the most sensitive departments," Macron said as he urgently returned to Paris from the EU summit in Brussels.

The prefecture of Saint Denis had already announced the cancellation of a concert at the Stade de France in order not to reduce the number of police forces on the streets in front of the demonstrators. It has not yet been specified which "major events" will be cancelled. The prefectures of Marseille, Lyon and Bordeaux have meanwhile banned all public demonstrations and a similar decision has been taken in Grenoble, Strasbourg, Toulouse and Montpellier.

Meanwhile, riots continue throughout the country. In Strasbourg, an Apple store in the historic center was robbed during the afternoon. Soon after, the same gang attacked a nearby supermarket, while police were forced to fire tear gas. Another large store was attacked in Val-de-Marne, while in Seine-Saint Denis it was the turn of a Mc Donald's.
