>> welcome back. you are watching " live from paris" on "france 24" with me, laura cellier. france really from the first attack on its soil since a state of emergency was to cut months ago. the couple's three-year-old child survived the attack. confusion over the motives of the orlando shooter as witnesses say he was a regular at the gay bar he attacked a sunday night. this as president obama attacks donald trump for what he calls anti-muslim rhetoric. dozens of people injured as protests turned violent in

paris. tens of thousands of people have been marching against the government's proposed labor forms. laura: first, though, french foreign jihadist who murdered a police commander and his partner was acting on orders from the islamic state group. larry c abballa was killed in the -- larossi abballa was killed in the shootout with police. he was known to authorities and under surveillance at the time of the attack. mark thompson has this report. mark a face known to french authorities. was releasedlla from prison last year after serving three have in your sentence for conspiracy to can -- commit acts of terrorism. he was also the subject of another similar investigation in

january. a quantity monday evening, he arrived at the home of the chief of police in the outskirts of paris and stabbed the opposite and his wife to death and took their three-year-old son hostage. the young child survived the attack. abballa told authorities he was loyal to the islamic state group. >> he said he was responding to a communiqué from the islamic state group leader that demanded the killing of nonbelievers where they lived with family. the attacker was killed by security services during the midnight raid. the officer has been identified. the french interior minister in expressed his condolences. anyones proof that doubting the risks faced by security services, please,

soldiers, pay a heavy price to major the french people remain safe. mark: those who knew him say they don't know why he was targeted. >> and his colleagues inside the police force can't understand why him, why this person, why this commander, white his precinct? -- why this precinct? mark: police discovered a list of six people abballa intended to target among them, rappers, journalists, and police officials. three other attackers have been arrested in connection with the killings. laura: in a few moments i will speak to mark thompson, the journalist behind that report that he is down at the headquarters of french security services. i'm joined on the line by an anti-terrorism expert at these two fun group. thanks for being with us on "france 24." here we are again in paris the

sect in paris the second the motives of another jihadi killer come with he was radicalized online or had a direct links to jihadists, as appears to have been the case with this killer. this is the first time a police officer has been murdered at his family home. it is a grim mark here in paris. new landmark here in paris. >> yes, and it is consistent with what we have seen the islamic state leadership calling for for some time, calling for attacks against law enforcement and military as well as the soft targets like we saw in orlando. unfortunately another reminder, like you say, this unprecedented threat europe is facing. laura: you mentioned the orlando killer. 2 attacks from different methods, vastly different death tolls from both shocking. would you say that these killers are similar in that they had the same motives? daniel: you know, it is difficult to speculate on what the specific motives of the

killer are. unfortunately, what the islamic eternald their cult of terror provide is essentially a larger, higher calling for anyone who is on the path to violence anyway to kind of use this umbrella of this violent message of islamic state is espousing and use that to kind of leverage it and make their acts of violence become something larger than what it otherwise would be. while i can't speak necessarily to be specific motives of the attack, they fall under the larger a relatively islamic state's call for violent action. laura: president obama has been making some comments, that he says the islamic state is on the defensive, talking about territory, and they are losing ground in iraq and in syria under threat from kurdish fighters and iraqi soldiers as well. does that make any difference, or is this about defeating an

idea? and how on earth do you go about doing that? daniel: yeah, absolutely. there are those who would argue that these attacks we are seeing could be seen as a sign of weakness on the part of the islamic state. peak inslamic state's 2014 they were calling for fighters to join them in the caliphate. in may, the statement from an islamic state spokesman called for fighters to remain where they are rather than trying to join the self-professed caliphate, which is an indication of the territory pressure that the islamic state is facing, rather than come join the group where they are, they would rather have them take up arms anywhere they can pick in these attacks, that while low-tech, sophisticated come have a lower death toll that more sophisticated attacks, still have a high impact. it is consistent with what we are seeing on the ground in syria and iraq, the significant pressure the islamic state is facing there. laura: we heard presidential

hopeful donald trump talking yesterday about cracking down on immigration, talking about the fact that omar mateen's parents were born in afghanistan. but in both cases what we're talking about here is homegrown born in thepeople united states, born in france, brought up in these countries, and then turned on them. that is a difficulty for the government and security services, isn't it? daniel: certainly come and again, it comes back to the islamic state, the whole idea and emotion of these inspired attacks is that it does not require much overhead on the part of the islamic state. they likely have never heard the name of at least omar mateen. i'm not as familiar on the details of the case of the police killing and france. but they have had very limited actual involvement in these plots, if any involvement whatsoever. what they are doing is essentially able to attribute

victory to themselves, to the group, while having very limited actual tangible involvement in these plots. that allows the group to ,ssentially demonstrate power or at least the perception of power, where it may actually not be the reality. all right, thanks very much in the. daniel: thank you. laura: here in france, lawmakers have been holding a minute of silence for the slain police commander and his partner. french police are increasingly finding themselves the target of terrorists. march 2012. for the first time in history, an islamic extremist targets french military on french soil, pushing the national security alert to its highest ever level. he killed three soldiers in cold blood in southwestern france.

shot inparatrooper was a toulouse street, the other two not far from their barracks. he then slaughtered for additional victims, including three children and a jewish school. claiming the attacks were revenge for france's military involvement in afghanistan. the 20-year-old was killed during a lengthy standoff with france's elite police unit. nearly three years later, january 2015, amid the "charlie hebdo" attacks, the kouachi brothers shot policeman during their getaway. they made it to the yemeni branch of al qaeda. they said they had avenged the prophet mohammed, a frequent target of the controversial satirical newspaper. a day later, a policewoman was killed south of paris. the kilohertz one allegiance to the islamic state group. on monday -- the killer had

sworn allegiance to the islamic state group. this couple's three-year-old child a witness to the atrocity. >> unfortunately, sometimes we are confronted with deaths in the service. i would say it is one of the dangers of our work, but not the way happened last night. last night was i and assassination. the killer told negotiators that he acted in the name of islamic state organization. 's" markfrance 24 thompson is at the headquarters of french security services and he joins us now. mark, early indications are 22 what could be a major intelligent -- pointing to what to be a major intelligence failing here. this killer was known to the authorities, he was jailed for links to terrorism, and he was under surveillance at the time of the attack. yes, they are used to

answering tough questions here at the french counterterrorism and espionage agency. there will be some big questions asked of them now. we know that the attacker was in prison -- he had a three-year sentence for helping recruit jihadist fighters in pakistan and also he was under surveillance earlier this year because he was suspected of similar offenses in syria. the big question is how can a man under such a surveillance who is so -- who the authorities are so aware of, how can he have such access to police commander and his family and their family home? one of the big problems that the dg oc actually have is that there are over 1000 individuals currently being looked at by the french intelligence services, and he is just one of them.

they said that when they were monitoring the phone calls in january, there was no sign of any impending attack and this attack may have gone under the radar. laura: all right, mark, thanks very much for our thompson reporting from the headquarters of the french antiterrorism organization. a warning that the gets tall will likely right -- the death toll will likely rise following the sunday shooting at a gay club in orlando, florida. omar mateen is described as a homegrown extremist who was radicalized online. there are reports that he may have been confused about his own sexuality. reporter: the investigation into the orlando mass murder continues, and police now believe the gun man, omar mateen, was a so-called lone wolf terrorist. they say he was radicalized on the internet. several u.s. media outlets are partnering on what could have been omar mateen's motive. greinke several customers can he was a regular at the pulse

nightclub -- according to several customers, he was a regular at the pulse nightclub where he carried out the attack. he made sexual advances to several men. police are not discussing the speculation that omar mateen was a homosexual himself. anye had never expressed mentions of homophobia or any disdain for homophobia. reporter: but according to his father, he hated the gay community. for now, investigators are still digging into his past to understand why he carried out these murders. for the nation, like here in new york, people are still gathering in memory of the 49 victims. obama is set to travel to orlando on thursday afternoon. back here in paris, violent scenes of the latest protest against government's labor laws could at least these 29 police officers and 11

demonstrators injured today. authorities say as many as 80,000 people were in the march. unions for the number closer to one million. rail and air travel are still affected by the strike. both the eiffel tower and the château at her site close to tourists because of industrial action. the controversial law was discussed in the french house and senate. reporter: the french government's labor bill is in the senate, where it is under the scrutiny of the right-wing majority. the opposition is expected to try to substantially change a bill which was first presented to the nationals embley over a month ago -- national assembly over a month ago. it sparked nationwide protests, especially after french prime minister manuel valls forst it through parliament without a vote from using article 49.3 of the constitution. the bill had been watered down after a compromise was found with one of the country's unions .

the main labor group, however, is still not satisfied that negotiations are still on with the country's labor minister. >> i'm waiting for friday to see what labor unions have proposed. if they are asking for all the articles that make this law to be removed, we will be able to negotiate. reporter: ahead of the main union wants to believe his demands will be heard by the government. >> to get yourself out of a social movement has big as this one, you have to stay open to negotiations, and that is not what the government is doing. reporter: for some, they think it will help boost the country, it will reduce workers rights and give employers greater possibility regarding working time agreements for staff. the law will be debated in the senate for two weeks before the vote on june 28. the bill will then go back to the national assembly where a final version of the law will be approved. eatery hastalian

markus karlsson is with me in the studio. fresh market turmoil, it seems, as the polls point towards a possible exit for britain from the european union. markus: it seems as if investors are waking up to the possibility of a bracelet -- brexit in that vote on june 23. we are seeing investors growing increasingly nervous not only about the brexit, but the general state of the global economy as well. shares are dropping alongside the pound and investors are turning to save haven assets. i have brought along a graph that tells you that story of investors turning to save haven assets. the yield for the two straight on the german 10-year bonds over the past year. this tuesday that has dropped below zero for the first time. it means there is such a strong demand from investors for german bonds that they're willing to pay to park their money in this asset and a turning away from stocks, turning to savor bonds instead it for more on this rush

to safety, i spoke earlier to chris at ig and i put the question to him, i asked him to describe the mood in the markets. i think the best way to describe the market, really, is a jittery. we have seen a number of polls showing the leaves side of the referendum ahead. had one you could dismiss it as a blip but to have more in succession, that is why you have seen significant risk aversion in markets in europe, in the u.k. stock markets in europe are certainly weaker. the pound hit as well. and the usual safe haven, u.s. dollar, gold, all very popular this afternoon. markus: does it mean anything specifically that we are seeing bund yields 10 year come in negative territory?

i think it does symbolize an interesting confluence of factors, not only brexit, but the safe havens, bunds are the classic one. you also have ecb buying in the eurozone. people are moving into government bonds, especially secure countries like germany come even when they are not paying you a yield, as we are seeing. low inflation expectations. that does make bonds more attractive on the broader risk-reward basis for investors. you have concerns about china data from which came in weaker than expected. clearly investors are very much unsure whether stock markets really offer any promising reward, if you like. they much prefer to park the money safely with the german government. markus: so from your perspective, this is to a large part down to brexit fears, but not only? that is what you are saying? ever, you have to a

number of factors, but it is key that the movement toward zero for the german 10-year yield may well have been excellent by the and it willt pulls, loom larger with only a weeks ago until the u.k. goes to those polls. markus: that was chris speaking to me earlier during the european trading day. let's bring you up-to-date with how the u.s. markets are faring this hour, with around 37 minutes ago before the end of the trading day over on wall street. the dow jones industrial average leading the way down this hour, around .75%. avestors are also turning to two-day federal reserve meeting which started earlier this tuesday. the conclusion from that meeting will come out on wednesday. financial shares are among the laggards stateside on expectations that interest rates will remain the work for longer. let's also bring up to date with the european close earlier. you can see right there the european markets are taking a real hit with the brexit issue

very much in focus. paris cac down 2.3%. now near three-month level. london ftse 100 down about 2%. frankfurt dax taking a pretty hard hit, as you can see. let's bring you up-to-date with all the stories we have been watching for you. the mood among american shoppers seems to have perked up. retail sales in the united states grew in may, more than expected. figures show consumers stepped up purchases of cars and a range of other products even as petrol prices rose. it is seen as a hint that the american domestic economy is growing stronger. prosecutors in south korea are turning up the heat on the conglomerate. they have carried out several raids on the group's affiliates as part of a probe into alleged bribery. on monday, lotte said it would
