NEW RIOTS IN FRANCE: Firefighters work in a library near a school in Villiers-le-Bel, outside Paris, after it was torched by rioters as a reaction to the death of two teenagers whose motorbike collided with a police car two days ago.

Youths battled police for a second night in the Paris suburbs, burning down government buildings and injuring around 80 officers, forcing tighter security in the troubled towns.
