		</div><p>Emmanuel Macron has called for order and calm – and efforts to address the roots of several days of unrest around France sparked by the police killing of a 17-year-old boy.</p>
<p>The police officer accused of shooting Nahel Merzouk is in custody on a charge of voluntary homicide and a judge in Versailles on Thursday rejected his request for release pending further investigation.</p>
<p>“We all lived through an important moment in the life of our nation,” Mr Macron, the French President, said in the southern city of Pau on the edge of the Pyrenees.</p>
<p>France now needs “order, calm, unity”, he said, “and then to work on the deep causes of what happened”.</p>
<p>He did not address what those causes are.</p>
<p>The French leader has blamed parents of young rioters and social networks including TikTok and Snapchat for fuelling violence that spread to around 500 cities and towns.</p>
<p>Some activists, along with residents of the low-income neighbourhoods where the violence began, say the killing was the latest evidence of systematic police brutality and unaddressed racial discrimination in France.</p>
<p>Nahel was of north African origin.</p>
