While Macron was dancing at Elton John's "Farewell Yellow Brick Road" concert, there were explosive riots in Paris and other French cities. On Thursday night, riots erupted across France as a violent reaction to the fatal police shooting of a 17-year-old motorist of Algerian and Moroccan heritage during a traffic stop.

Since Tuesday, rioters have launched fireworks, attacked police officers, looted stores, cars set ablaze, and set fire to government buildings.

Violent riots continued to ravage France on Saturday.

The French Interior Ministry said more than 1,300 people were arrested on the fourth night of riots, compared to 875 arrests the previous night. France's justice minister, Eric Dupont-Moretti, said 30% of the 1,311 people arrested overnight were under the age of 18.

There were also 2,560 fires reported on public roads, 1,350 cars burned, and over 700 businesses damaged.

France activated 45,000 police across the country on Saturday night.

The riots were so severe that Macron was forced to cancel his state visit to Germany scheduled for Sunday.

On Saturday, the funeral for the slain motorist was held in the Paris suburb of Nanterre. Family and friends gathered at a mosque in Nanterre for the funeral of Nahel Merzouk.
