French President Emmanuel Macron cancels his visit to Germany as riots and unrest continue across France for the fourth consecutive night. Major events, including concerts, pride marches, and festivals, are being cancelled or postponed. The unrest began after the fatal shooting of a 17-year-old by police during a traffic check, sparking protests and clashes with authorities. The situation remains tense, with looting, arson, and clashes between protesters and police reported in several cities. Thousands of people gather for the funeral of the teenager, demanding justice. The French government deploys additional police forces to maintain security, and Lyon mayor calls for reinforcements. Macron's cancelled visit marks the first state visit to Germany by a French president in 23 years.
