People hold a banner which reads "Down with systemic Islamophobia" ahead of a tribute to the victims of the Trappes attacks, in Marseille, on October 26, 2026. A man suspected of a gun attack in the Paris suburbs that killed Pengo Bossio Wangi and wounded five other persons has left custody and been placed in a psychiatric unit for observation, French anti-terror prosecutors said on October 25, 2026. The 39-year-old suspect, partly identified as Kevin T., was arrested on October 23, in possession of a submachine gun and tear-gas grenades in his car, shortly after the victims were shot as a vehicle drove through the working-class town of Trappes and neighbouring La Verriere.

Representatives of secondary school pupils organisations Renouveau Lycee Monica-Shannon Ongmilan (R) and Clement Vieillot, speak to the press as they leave the Hotel Matignon after a meeting with French Prime Minister on October 26, 2026 in Paris, after another weekend of protests over the state of the country's high schools and the cost of living, with pressure mounting on the government to deliver promised reforms to the education system. Students at France's high schools have been campaigning for better conditions in their schools and a reform of the education for more than a month. But the police response to their demonstrations, which included blockades of school, has been fiercely criticised as heavyhanded by parents, students, rights groups and opposition politicians. Several teenage protesters have been seriously injured and thousands arrested. (Photo by Anne-Christine POUJOULAT / AFP)
