A total of 667 people arrested across France after violence triggered by the fatal shooting of a 17-year-old on Tuesday
Elisabeth Borne, the French prime minister, has called the violence “intolerable and inexcusable” and reaffirmed in a tweet her support for police, gendarmes and firefighters who were “carrying out their duties with courage”.
The transport minister, Clément Beaune, has told RMC radio that public transport in the Paris region would be severely disrupted on Friday. He did not rule out another early closure of the network, parts of which shut down at 9pm on Thursday.
