French forces crack down in New Caledonia as death toll climbs in civil unrest

In New Caledonia, French forces have launched a major operation to restore order after violent clashes and civil unrest killed at least six people. New Caledonia is a French territory situated in the South Pacific, off Australia’s eastern coastline. The civil unrest erupted in the archipelago’s capital, and French forces are trying to regain control of a road linking Noumea to the main international airport. French military planes have been landing at Canadian airports during the weekend operation. Heidi Petracek reports on the volatile situation.
