france for quite a long time. the euro 2016 soccer championships, of course, were held in france this year, and there were great concerns and enormous precautions taken. it was described to us when we were visiting there, as if they were holding super bowls in ten stadiums over a course of a couple of months at the same time. so their security precautions were tight and they were concerned during euro 2016, the next big event was to be independence day, july 14th, which is today, and they had made it through this day without any incident. the fireworks had gone off without incident, with tens of thousands of people watching. it was as the crowds were leaving, and the police were disbursing, that this happened somewhere around 11:30 at night. that isn't to say it wasn't busy, it was. those hotels and the street restaurants and the rest would have been filled with people. sky news -- we have new information just in from sky news. sky news now reports the death toll has reached 60 people dead as the truck hit the cro

france has been a target for terror. just this past november, 130 people were killed as islamic militant suicide bombers and gunmen opened fire on the streets of paris, inside a concert hall and france's national stadium. the country was put in a nationwide state of emergency. it was to be lifted in a matter of weeks, but it has now been extended for three more months leaving france a nation on edge. we are also learning more about the man believed to be responsible for the assault. he was a 31-year-old dual french-tunisian national known to police as a petty criminal. and as you mentioned earlier, we can also report that at this stage, two americans are among the dead, a father and a son who were on vacation there in nice. kendis and diane. >> the sad headline that we're getting overnight this morning and, jennifer, there are many security experts that say that nice actually has an elaborate system in place. how is that helping the investigators right now? >> reporter: cc-tv will play an enormous part in this investigat

city in france. he's really sought to make it as safe as you possibly can make a city. in fact, in time for the euro 2016 championship, he wanted to introduce this new facial recognition system that would have allowed security services on those cameras to recognize anyone who had what the french call -- that are being followed for security reasons. of course it wouldn't have helped in the case of thursday night's attacks, since the man in question was not known to intelligence services. he was a petty criminal, he was not being watched as a potential terrorist suspect. but it gives you an idea of how seriously the town of nice has taken it. it is considered one of the most closely watched, in france, one of the most secured, one where security has been really placed at the fore, and yet it is in this city that this was able to take place. and he has been voicing his anger with the french government over the course of the last 36 hours saying, yes, i've done all this as the city's mayor, but the natio

this is the worst mass killing in france since last year's killing in france. lucy. what is the latest in the attack and what is france's response? >> france waking up with another devastating attack. this time in nice. the most important national holiday, this the the equivalent of the fourth of july. the truck driving nearly a mile across that busy street before he was shot dead by police. an act of terror according to the french president and one that did not require bombs or explosiv explosives. we can't confirm the attacker at this stage. french media siting source. a separate source telling nbc news that he was a french national. the focus of that investigation is to determine whether he was operating alone or whether or not he had help. no formal responsibility of this attack. we did see some cheering of some carnage on various islam attacks. president obama condemning the attack, what he calling horrific attack in nice and some ten thousand troops will be on patrol. likely cold comfort for the dozens of assets in new york city. in new york city we do >> yes,

france is the epicenter of all evil. they said as early as september 2014 they released the islamic state group that has released a statement early on us, that when they singled out france, saying if you can kill a disbelieving american or european, especially the spiteful and filthy french, on and on, go do it, essentially. even then the french have been as something that especially antagonizes them, about the france -- the french way of life. people come to it and see it as the same beacon of targets. the most deadly attacks over the past of two years, three deadly attacks going back to charlie hebdo. thing youone on that go onto to the attacks in november. people coming together to celebrate sport. then you have bars and @ñññññÑñóóoóó[[;óóóç >> this next panel is--it's-- i think it's really important to me because it's so rare to find honesty in the environmental movement. not many p people are willing to confront the reality o of the situation we face. i think that's really understandable b

in france. because they have seen in the past cases, although they fumbled the ball, and they didn't arrest or didn't cover closely enough the people in the charlie hebdo massacre and the brussels massacre. those were at least people that were at some point on their radar. this guy was never on their radar. he was just a criminal with violent proclivities who had been in and out of jail. there was no indication that he had any kind of jihadist connection, as far as the intelligence services were concerned. and yet here he's killed 84 people, and wounded seriously scores more. was he acting for isis? was he acting on his own? that's what they're trying to figure out by going through his telephone and by looking at whatever documents he had in his apartment. in the truck. and also by interrogating his wife, the mother of his children. >> christopher, this attack comes as the french president, francois hollande, was actually, as we understand, considering lifting this state of emergency that so man

we saw turkey and now another incident in france. law enforcement has to look at how these terrorists are using these types of -- whether it's weapons or vehicles, what have you, and they then have to deal with the security measures to ensure that that doesn't happen again, because the terrorists are going to look to do that. >> and when you look at this attack, it has got to be horrifying for counterterrorism experts. that promenade is like the equivalent of south beach in miami. a soft target, as some people might say. what does this to many of the counterterrorism experts in the u.s. what are they starting to work on right now? >> when you're going to have a large event, there's already protocols in place with the fbi and local law enforcement when there's a big gathering of people, they usually corridor them off to make sure there's not access to vehicles. usually they're thinking about the bomb scenario. now the vehicle is attacking the victims. the problem is you have the beach areas in certain parts of the country where there

france is really once again. francois hollande has wanted to lift the state of emergency later this month. that has been extended. tom: just horrific. let's get you an update with our first word news. here is nejra cehic. nejra: in france, it is the seventh deadly attack in the last 18 months. at least 84 people were killed in nice when a truck loaded with weapons, including hand grenades, drove from one and a mile along the boulevard pact with bastille day revelers. in paris, francois hollande says his country is at war with terrorism. hollande: this attack has all the elements to be called a terrorist attack, once again of incredible violence. it is clear we have to do everything in our power to fight this terrorist plague. nejra: he has extended a state of emergency for another three months and will deploy 10,000 members of france's security forces. the attacker has been identified . world leaders expressing dismay, sadness, and solidarity with france over last night's bastille day attack -- president obama co

why france? >> well, there are a lot of reasons why france. first of all, it has a very large muslim and arab population so even if you recruit a tiny percentage of those people, you can get hundreds who are involved with jihadist activities. france has also gone on the offensive in a number of different countries fighting terrorism with its own troops, in places like mali, a war that has very little coverage in the united states but was very important to al qaeda. it's part of the coalition in syria and fighting against isis there. so there are a lot of reasons why france would be a target. and it has been hit many, many times over the years, even before the rise of isis and al qaeda, when there was a were going on in algeria in the '90s, france became a terrorist target. this is something that everybody has -- you would think everybody has gotten used to but the level of violence has gone up so dramatically, especially with the "charlie hebdo" attack and the bataclan and other attacks on november 13th, i think everybody is really tremendousl

it struck france just at a time when france is celebrating its national day. this day that is a symbol of freedom of the french nation. he said that france is stronger than these fanatics, and he said they wanted to take away their free throw dom a freedom and take it away on this day, france's independence day. he said he would be extending the state of emergency, so we're going to have this for at least another three months. and in another move, he is to reinforce the external boarders of the french nation. he's going to be calling up reservists to help out. we've been at this state of emergency now for many months. >> what does that mean, practically speaking? you're in a state of emergency, what happens as a result of that? >> reporter: what happens, shep, is it gives the police wide ranging powers. for example, they can take someone into custody without any evidence at all. without an arrest warrant. they can keep someone under house arrest without it being cleared by a judge. a lot of the very simple civil rights that people have gotten used to can be ta

and i lived in france, too, and they cannot rise in the system. they are unemployed. they have accents. they stand out, and they are not accepted in the french society, and it is something that we have difficulty understanding as americans. if you know the french system, it is not a surprise, so for someone who is having a lot of problems, and looking for the n anchor in life, they turn to the radical form of islam, and like in orlando, it can happen ov overnight, and so none of this is a surprise and ashleigh, i can assure you that with the french cracking down on the north african population, it is going to be worse. >> bob baer, i don't suspect that you are wrong, but some would say that is what they need and the answers that everyone is madly searching for. thank you both for your perspectives. appreciate it. >>> whoever is ending up leading the united states, this is the kind of thing atop the agenda, and that is why we look at politics. donald trump has made a choice for vice president, and made it official, and indiana governor mike pence is his running mate, a

for this, this is france's most important national holiday. you know, people weren't working that day. people were gathering in the seaside area on this promenade by the water. families were out and about moments before this attack took place, there was a dramatic fireworks show. people were likely eating and drinking and celebrating in the streets. and, of course, to have this attack come on such a significant day for france certainly sends a dark message to the country. it would, alex, be the equivalent of a horrific attack in the united states on something like fourth of july. it really, really does hurt the country where it hurts the most. >> yes, and we should say it all happened there on the promenade des anglais, the boulevard of the english is really what that says when it translates. that is a very, very popular place for tourists, obviously a place people would have gathered as it skirts the mediterranean. the most beautiful place to watch the fireworks right before this horrific attack. lucy, thank you so much for that. i know we'll

a massacre in france. at least 84 people are dead and dozens more injured after a truck mowed down people during the bastille day celebration. >> a terror investigation now underway, and former cia officer joins us now with more on this. we have heard from the president of france saying this has been a terror attack. no terror group has claimed speedometer yet. but you're saying it's time to declare war on isis. what does that look like who how is that different than how it looks today? >> clearly, an attack on one member of nato is an attack on all. the french or the u.s. or any other member of nato can declare article v. we should put forces in turkey and negotiate and clear out raqqah. this is something that is very doable. would take us a few months to organize and do. but this is not something we're not beginnigoing to defeat isis globally until we defeat them where they are funding and putting logistics together. we have to take the caliphate away. it's a symbol to jihadists worldwide that this organ

feeling in france like they're really french. this, of course, is exacerbated by an time immigrant rhetoric, and you understand where that's coming from when an eventuality like this occurs. the reality is, here in the united states, we have a very substantial arab population that is well assimilated, comfortable. going to rotary luncheons, running small businesses. and that is something france needs to think about addressing. and then open borders. it's not clear that open borders contributed to yesterday's events but in the previous attacks on france, the ability of some terrorists to jump national border was disconcerting, to say the least. >> just because someone gives the signs or symbolism of assimilation, as if they're going to a rotary club lunch doesn't mean you have successfully extinguished any ideology that could be baked into their world view of what an ongoing war with the west means. so how do you tamp down the ideology spread of isis, and at the same time, giving people the safety they need to feel like they can g

it is a big day in france. those triple layering of tdeter detect, deny, that person was going to a specific person, for a specific reason. there was surveillance being conducted. in order for the terrorist to inflict the most dangerous. we would have looked at the promenade. pardon my french for not knowing the actual street. that would have been looked at as an actual layer and the cars would have been limited to the access to the street. that is number one. that selection phase. the deterrence would involve heavier armed security official. a lot of respect for bob baer, he called it. there is a heavy military feel to france. the question is take those assault weapon carrying police officers and put them into places where you have the massive crowds. that is where terrorists go. and the final word is deny. the training, a turkish police officer ended up firing at the terrorist that went in with an ak-47 firing openly, ended up shooting him in the center mass area. the terrorist went down. what we didn't miss

here in france, the feeling is somewhat of anger. the sense that even in a place as safe and as calm and tranquil as nice, these terrorist can attack and they can attack easily. it is being quite a sticking point with president hollande that over the last year there have been a number of attacks in france and every time the response is mainly to respond to the last attack. very little changes in the future. he says that tens of thousands of new police will be on the streets and they will respond. the people here booed him today. they're not happy with the with a he has dealt with this, and he was speaking earlier today. but nevertheless, the rest of the world have considered this the same. been a bit of a shock for them and have criticized. the difference is that in america they say it was a balancing of domestic issues that have to deal with this. holeland has said for the first time the issue is not only domestic, not only about putting more police on borders. it's about dealing with syria and iraq and that's a big distinction. nev

in nice, france in just a has been a struggle. i considered all my options with my doctor, who recommended once-daily toujeo®. now i'm on the path to better blood sugar control. toujeo® is a long-acting insulin from the makers of lantus®. it releases slowly, providing consistent insulin levels for a full 24 hours, proven full 24-hour blood sugar control, and significant a1c reduction. and along with toujeo®, i'm eating better and moving more. toujeo® is a long-acting, man-made insulin used to control high blood sugar in adults with diabetes. it contains 3 times as much insulin in 1 milliliter as standard insulin. don't use toujeo® to treat diabetic ketoacidosis, during episodes of low blood sugar, or if you're allergic to insulin. allergic reaction may occur and may be life threatening. don't reuse needles or share insulin pens, even if the needle has been changed. the most common side effect is low blood sugar, which can be serious and life threatening. it may cause shaking, sweating, fast heartbeat, and blurred vision. che

with france. it's what trump has been calling for. why don't we have a declaration war to show energy, emergency, commitment because these loan wolves keep talking about how inspired they are by isis. i want to deinspire. he told me on my radio show, he said the united states must take out their safe havens in iraq and syria. take them out and that would turn the tide. trump said that. i'm waiting for hilary to say it too. it's a foreign policy. we have to go there. we have to go there and declare war and mobilize this country. >> i believe it in my heart. >> always good to have you. we'll see more of you in the coming days. >> when are you going to cleveland? >> tuesday night. >> i'm going sunday night. >> on that issue of global terrorism, the third attack against france in 18 months. let's bring in our military analyst colonel jack jacobs and white house correspondent, great to have both of you this morning to shed light on this situation. i want to start with you because larry just brought up

but why france? >> simply because there are so many french nationals that have gone to join isis in syria. hundreds and hundreds and hundreds. they have given isis the capability to launch attacks in france if this indeed is a isis terrorist attack. there must be some concern out this early stage that this could be a isis attack and also an just a few weeks ago saying that france was the most threatened country in the whole world when it comes to isis terrorism, that the intelligence is suggesting a very high degree of plotting from isis and its support eers against france. there was a sigh of relief after the euro 2015 soccer championships that there was not a major attack in france during those champion shops, during the month of ramadan. isis had called for attacks and there was one attack most of paris by an isis-inspired extremist who killed french police officers and broadcast it live on facebook, but french leaders for some time now, wolf, have been talking about this unprecedented terrorist t
