Italy weighs sending 500 armed troops as France imposes curfews after riots
France imposed curfews after a weekend of riots, and France 24 reports Italy is considering deploying 500 armed troops after looting and destruction there.
Italy's government is considering sending in 500 armed troops after violent looting and property destruction there, France 24 reported on Tuesday. The report does not say where in Italy the damage happened or whether a decision has been made.
France imposed curfews on Monday night after anti-government protests turned into riots over the weekend. CBS News described the curfews as widespread and said the riots caused extensive damage and thousands of arrests. The New York Times also reported the curfews.
France 24 says President Emmanuel Macron's government announced a curfew in parts of the country. That is narrower than CBS News's description of widespread curfews. The reports do not settle how much of France is covered.
France 24's Tuesday press review also covers how French newspapers and British, German and U.S. outlets are reacting to the violence. The summary does not give their conclusions.
