   France Imposes Partial Curfews Following Nationwide Riots

   The French Prime Minister has ordered partial curfews in Paris and several other cities to restore public order after a weekend of nationwide rioting and looting. While the Prime Minister praised police performance, the Interior Minister admitted that authorities lost control in certain cities. These security measures are intended to stabilize a country currently in turmoil, though officials have acknowledged a failure in managing the violence. Unrest is reportedly tapering off as these tougher security protocols take effect across the affected urban areas.
