(opens the publisher’s site)US Vice President JD Vance has blamed immigration and integration failures for violence during French cost-of-living protests and warned Americans ahead of congressional midterms.

- Vance said he hopes France can "put an end to this madness before fire reaches more of its landmarks."
- Vance linked the unrest to the November 3 midterm elections, saying that is "the future" Democrats in Congress seek for the US.
- Protests in Paris, Lyon, Marseille and other cities saw clashes with police, vandalism and public-building occupations, met with tear gas and water cannons.
- Rioters set fire to Limoges' 140-year-old town hall, causing its spire to collapse during the protests.

- President Emmanuel Macron vowed to prosecute those responsible for vandalism and looting across France.
