France tells rioters to go home
PARIS — "Could you just go home?"It was a weary-sounding question, directed by a middle-aged French woman at a gang of youths pushing past her, as a mass of defense shield-wielding riot-police chased after them.It was the early hours of Sunday morning on the Champs Elysées -- the tourist shoppers' paradise in central Paris. The air was acrid with tear gas. Night number five of the street riots that have engulfed France since the killing of Nahel, a French Algerian teen, by a policeman on a Parisian housing estate.The acts of violence across France dropped considerably overnight, the rioters shamed perhaps by Nahel's grandma, who took to French TV to appeal to the youngsters to calm down.BBC spoke to another family member who asked to remain anonymous because tensions...

Ukrainian commander warns French tanks are inadequate for counteroffensive
KYIV — Ukraine continues to press Western allies for hardware and training assistance as it seeks to take advantage of confusion and low morale on the Russian side.Armour too light: a Ukrainian officer believes that the AMX-10 RC tanks delivered to Ukraine by France and currently being used in Kyiv's counter-offensive are unsuitable for frontline attacks.The commander of a battalion of the 37th Naval Infantry Brigade, the pseudonymous Major Spartanets, described his observations of these French tanks on the battlefield during their current deployment in the Donetsk region."They are used for supporting fire, because of their light armour," he said. "Their armament is good, their observation instruments are very good. But unfortunately it's light armour, which makes...

Nahel’s family say violence won’t bring justice for the boy they lost
France teen’s family call for police use of lethal force to change
PARIS — A relative of the French teenager shot by police has told the BBC the family did not want his death to spark riots, but insisted the law around lethal force at traffic stops must change.Nahel M was shot point-blank by police after failing to stop for a traffic check last Tuesday. “We never called for hate or riots,” the relative said. France has seen five days of violent rioting.Speaking to the BBC near the family home in Nanterre, the relative said the rioting — which has seen thousands arrested, shops looted and hundreds of vehicles set alight across France — did not honor Nahel’s memory.“We didn’t ask to break or steal. All of this is not for Nahel,” they told the BBC, speaking on condition of anonymity because tensions are so high following Nahel’s...
