Borne walks back inside ( Continues from previous shot ) STORYLINE: French Prime Minister Elisabeth Borne met with party leaders from the French Senate and National Assembly on Monday to discuss the issues that have emerged following days of violence triggered by the shooting death of a 17 year old in the Paris suburbs. After the series of meetings, Borne told journalists that key issues of city policies, the role of schools, and parental authority and responsibility were raised. Borne emphasised that the priority was a return to security and order, with wider issues to be discussed further amongst the political leadership. There has been little in the way of organised protests beyond a march last week for Nahel, the 17-year-old of Algerian descent who was killed last Tuesday in the Paris suburb of Nanterre. Instead, the anger has manifested in young people targeting police, with both sides using increasingly aggressive tactics. The average age of the 3,354 people arrested over the past week was 17, the interior ministry said. =========================================================== Clients are reminded to adhere to all listed restrictions and to check the terms of their licence agreements.
