Conflict in France heads for impasse

Macron tells PM to hold talks after worst unrest in Paris for decades

The conflict between the French government and protesters is likely to come to an impasse, as the causes for it have been there for some time, experts say.

More than 100 people were injured in Paris and 412 have been arrested over the weekend during France's worst urban riot in years, with 112 cars torched. French Prime Minister Edouard Philippe is holding crisis talks on Monday with representatives of the major political parties.
