In France, riots that have gripped several Paris suburbs continued for a seventh day Wednesday. The protests erupted following the deaths of two teenagers last week. Young people clashed with police and burnt cars in the Seine-Saint-Denis region north of the French capitol. Protesters told the Associated Press the unrest was an expression of frustration with unemployment and police harassment in the areas. The suburbs are home to a large North African immigrant population. One protester said quote: “People are joining together to say we’ve had enough. “We live in ghettos. Everyone lives in fear.” Police say they have made at least 35 arrests.
