Early Edition with Ryan Bridge · Jul 2, 2023 · 3m

The family of a French teenager killed by Police is calling for riots around the country to stop.

France has seen its most violent riots and protests since 2018, following the death of a 17-year-old by police at a traffic stop.

Thousands have been arrested since it started last week.

Europe Correspondent Gavin Grey told Francesca Rudkin that 45-thousand Police Officers have been deployed across the country.

He says the relatives of the dead 17-year-old want the riots to stop, and say they just want a re-evaluation of how Police carry arms.
