Putin losing grip to Wagner, France's policing problem
Yevgeny Prigozhin cheered as he suddenly lifted his occupation of Rostov-on-Don last Saturday night and aborted his Wagner Group's march on Moscow, a challenge unseen by the Kremlin since the failed 1991 coup attempt against Mikhail Gorbachev. Also, France is in shock after a viral video showed a police officer shoot and kill a 17-year-old in the Paris suburb of Nanterre. In scenes reminiscent of the three weeks of rioting back in 2005, nightly clashes have engulfed the country's working class suburbs. There's no state of emergency yet but after calling the killing of Nahel "inexplicable" and "inexcusable", President Emmanuel Macron has turned his sights on the rioters.
