Members of French government (right) face mayors of cities on Paris outskirts at the Matignon Hotel in Paris, after the seventh consecutive night of violence on the outskirts of the French capital. [When in doubt, call a meeting.]

Agence France Presse (AFP) caption: "A detachment of anti-riot security forces face a group of youths in front of burning cars in Clichy-Sous-Bois. Tough new French anti-crime policies are partly to blame for riots that gripped a Paris suburb...after the accidental deaths of two teenagers who thought they were being chased by police, the opposition and rights campaigners said.
