French President Emmanuel Macron on Sunday surveyed the damage from a day of riots across Paris and led a crisis meeting that ended with a call for further talks with anti-government activists who have staged two weeks of protests.Mr. Macron held crisis talks with the Prime Minister, Interior Minister and top security service officials to forge a response to the violence that left hundreds injured nationwide. Prime Minister Édouard Philippe has been asked to meet protest organisers and party leaders as part of a “constant wish for dialogue”, the Élysée Palace said. Environment Minister François de Rugy met representatives of the “yellow vests” last week but failed to convince them to end the protests.
