President Emmanuel Macron said more police will be deployed after three nights of riots across France.

The unrest began on Tuesday after police shot dead a 17-year-old boy of Algerian descent, named as Nahel M, as he drove away from a traffic stop in a Parisian suburb.

Macron also said parents should keep their children at home, saying it was not the responsibility of the state, but that of parents to keep their children away from the riots.
