The UK Foreign Office has updated its guidance for Brits visiting France, urging travellers to monitor the media and avoid protests
The disturbances began on Tuesday
after police shot dead a 17-year-old boy of Algerian descent, named as Nahel M.
The officer who shot Nahel has
apologised to the family, but the teen's death has revived grievances about
policing and racial profiling in France's suburbs.
Gérald Darmanin said 917 people were arrested on Thursday night - with some of them as young as 13 - and has repeated government calls for parents to keep their children out of the riots.
Forty-five-thousand police officers
have been deployed in France on Friday evening, the interior minister says -
amid fears of a fourth night of rioting
