France riots ease as mayors call anti-violence rally

Riots in France appear to be calming, after five days of violent protests in response to the shooting of teenager Nahel M during a police traffic stop.

More than 150 people were arrested on Sunday night, compared with more than 700 the night before.

Over the last few days, there have been numerous calls for the violence to stop, including from Nahel’s family.

Mayors have called for people to rally outside town halls on Monday to protest the violence and looting.
