Nice Attacks: Francois Hollande extends November state of emergency

French president, Francois Hollande, has extended the nine-month-old state of emergency. He has also vowed to deploy thousands of police reservists on the streets, after 84 pedestrians leaving a fireworks display were killed by a truck driven by a terrorist.

The deaths rocked a nation still dealing with recent attacks: in November, in Paris, when 130 were killed, and in January, 2015, when 17 were killed.

“All of France is under the threat of Islamic terrorists,” Mr Hollande said yesterday.
