Macron to address France after protests turn violent with 1,800 arrests

At least 1,800 people were arrested in France after nationwide protests over living costs and public services turned violent, with rioters setting fires and looting businesses. President Emmanuel Macron is set to address the nation Sunday evening following an emergency government meeting. The demonstrations drew over 500,000 people, with clashes injuring more than 500 police officers. In Limoges, flames destroyed the 19th-century City Hall, while looting was reported in Paris, Marseille, Lyon, and other cities. Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu blamed "radical far-left groups" for some violence, and one person died of a suspected heart attack. The protests began last month at high schools in Paris' poor northern suburbs over teacher shortages and facilities, expanding into a broader movement against inequality. US President Donald Trump claimed "France is burning," linking unrest to immigration, while police tactics face scrutiny over injuries including a teenager who lost a hand.
