France's Macron flies to strife-torn territory of New Caledonia

French President Emmanuel Macron is set to visit New Caledonia, a French territory in the Pacific, amid ongoing unrest that has killed at least six people and injured hundreds. The violence began over a week ago when demonstrations by the Indigenous Kanak people turned violent, with some local leaders expressing doubts about Macron's ability to defuse tensions. The unrest is believed to be linked to French plans to give voting rights to non-indigenous residents.
