Hundreds of French police reinforcements have arrived in New Caledonia amid ongoing riots in the Pacific Ocean territory which have left five people dead.
A state of emergency on the islands has now been triggered as the reinforcements look to "regain control", according to French High Commissioner Louis Le Franc.
The unrest erupted this week after lawmakers in Paris backed and approved changes to voting rolls that the indigenous population say will dilute their political influence.
Hundreds of people have been injured, and officials say around 200 people have been arrested so far.
