French officials gear up for more protests after rioting

Let's take a look at some world headlines now. It was another night of calm across France as the country recovers from last weekend's riots. And officials are now gearing up for more protests in the coming days. Fox News senior foreign affairs correspondent Greg Pelkon is in Paris where the largest riots took place. Days after France's worst riots in years, crews in Paris continue to clean up graffiti and debris. But Tuesday night there were no reports of any major violence with localized curfews still in effect in major cities. They don't have this approach to bring in, for instance, the National Guard, though there are special forces within the police gendarmerie. Now French authorities are preparing for another round of potentially dangerous protests on Saturday. Officials say there will be a major security operation backed by troops to control any rioting. We will deploy forces to take over from the internal security forces in order to free up police officers to carry out public order duties. Clashes from last weekend led to at least 2,400 arrests and impacted some 3,000 businesses. On Wednesday, French President Emmanuel Macron rejected claims that foreign interference caused the protests. He says they resulted from domestic economic frustrations and not an invasion. There was foreign manipulation of information afterwards, yes, and that gave rise to unacceptable and stupid comments from many people. It comes as he continues to face criticism from President Trump over France's immigration policies, as well as calls to close the country's borders. That's what you witnessed over the last three, four days. You watched nut jobs like him in France ruining their country. We're not going to put up with it. Macron says he would be back from his tour of Gulf countries on Thursday when he will meet with intelligence officials about the security situation here. In Paris, Greg Pelkon, Fox News.
