Riot police were overrun on Saturday as protesters wrought havoc in Paris's fanciest neighborhoods, torching dozens of cars, looting boutiques and smashing up luxury private homes and cafes in the worst disturbances the capital has seen since 1968. Emerging from Prime Minister Edouard Philippe's office, opposition leader Laurent Wauquiez of the centre-right Les Republicains said the government failed to understand the depth of public anger.

Posted: 03 Dec 2018 09:16 AM PST

Shell to set sector-leading emissions targets after investor pressureRivals BP and Total have already set short-term targets on reducing carbon dioxide emissions, but these are limited to their own operations.

Monday's move marks a change of tack for Shell Chief Executive Ben van Beurden, who had previously resisted setting hard goals, saying it would be "foolhardy" to expose Shell to legal challenges.
