Summary

French authorities extended overnight curfews in parts of Paris after a night described as calm, the prime minister said, as the state seeks to reassert control following the country's largest riots in years. Curfews were first imposed in two areas of the capital over the weekend to prevent further disorder after rioting. Those arrested during the unrest are facing expedited trials.
