most people here hope it stays that way. >> the french prime minister has invoked a constitutional measure his contestedgh labor reform package. the unpopular legislation has provoked four months of strikes decisionsts, and the to bypass parliament will likely infuriate protesters. thousands take to the streets today and have vowed to return after the summer break. parliament, the prime minister told a defiant national assembly he would use provision to push through the controversial labor reform without a vote. >> my government is determined .o move forward these individual strategies must not bring the country to a stands till. we must move forward for the common good.

>> and application of article 49 paragraph three of the constitution. >> the announcement was received and ase and --boos thens ofjeers -- announcement was received with mp'sand jeers as dozens of walked out. an opinion poll found 73% of french people would be shocked were the government to force the reform through. yet on tuesday, as protesters for a show streets of opposition, the mood was one of anger and determination. >> we were expecting him to use the provision, but that does not change anything. we will not back down. we have already said that if he forced the law through, that we

would come back in september, and in september, we will take to the streets again. >> i think workers are increasingly aware of the this law willt have on their lives and protests will continue. they will not run out of steam. >> in a similar situation, a former prime minister used the same provision to pass a controversial labor reform in 2000, but in the days of massive protests, led mainly by student unions, the government was forced to abandon the law. year foras a black france. 147 people died after a series of terror attacks targeted the french capital. the charlie hebdo attacks followed by the bloodshed provoked anaris outpouring of grief and soul-searching. now the time has come for answers.

>> shedding light on the 2015 killings which rocked the french capital, the parliamentary commission leading the inquiry on the attacks has finally spoken out. heading the group, a french security mp insisted had been sufficient, but he pointed to several global , whichgence failures emphasized the need to bolster security services. >> i propose the creation of a national counterterrorism agency working with the prime minister .r president an national intelligence director on the basis of national coordinator with the -- would be in charge. >> other key measures included forming a bureau handling prisoner information and reinforcing judicial review. also in the line of fire, the

,ational face of emergency which saw the deployment of thousands of troops on the nations streets as well as outside places of high risk. thesemmission concluded were of no real value, so now it is up to the french government to act on these measures and try to prevent such an attack in the future. a former u.s. diplomat who worked in the bureau of intelligence and research at the state department spoke to me earlier about if he agreed that french intelligence agencies dropped the ball when it came to preventing those terror attacks. >> the report that came out today is long overdue. you could have argued that right after the charlie hebdo attack, preceded byt was the infamous incident three years earlier, where you had already documentation of a lot

of failings in the french system for tracking and anticipating possible terrorist threats, this kind of thing has been long .verdue, this sort of review i think taking stock of all the various failings and problems that have developed and been has not in how france only treated and responded to terrorist incidents, but in terms of thinking about how it might anticipate them and even tracking all of these individuals, points out serious deficiencies in the intelligence services, in the police services, and in the overall coordination and command and control right up to the point where the incidents occur. >> one of the proposed reforms put forward as part of the report was to follow a u.s. model, if you like. is theou agree that this best one to pursue? >> surprises me in so much as nothing like this has been

considered before. in france a couple of times to know how security services are set up and how they operate. it amazes me that they continue to function very much like american intelligence services did for a long time, sort of in their own little world with their own little equities, , and wouldiorities only almost grudgingly come together to coordinate and collaborate and anticipate, as i s.id, the threat that matter this idea of setting up, at least for the issue of terrorism, which i think right now most french people would agree is the immediate threat, yes, setting up something like a national counterterrorism center as we have in washington where you bring together representatives of the different agencies that are involved in

terrorism analysis and collecting information, grouping them, forcing them to work in the same room and to maintain their contact with their agencies while also looking at the raw material to determine exactly what are the threats and how france should be dealing with them is long overdue and has to be done. if you are not doing that, if you do not have your best experts together thinking about this, you are poorly positioned if you are fighting amongst yourself to deal with a constantly evolving terrorist .hreat >> the fbi has completed its investigation into hillary clinton's e-mail use and recommending that she not be prosecuted. while conceding hostile actors may have gained access to classified e-mails, the fbi director said the worst clinton and her aides were guilty of is carelessness.

it is up to the department of pursue af they will matter that has dogged clinton's presidential campaign. >> although we did not find clear evidence secretary clinton or her colleagues intended to violate laws regarding the handling of classified information, there is evidence that they were extremely careless in their handling of very sensitive, highly information. >> for more, we speak with a democratic strategist who joins us now on the line from washington, d.c. thanks for joining us here on "france 24." do you think secretary clinton is now off the hook regarding her e-mail use? >> i would not say she is off the hook. republicans are going to continue to push this as part of their larger narrative and sort of say things like she is not to serve, so on and so forth, but for the clinton campaign, this

is a good day. this says there is no criminal prosecution. the sort of umbrella of possible criminal indictment has left her campaign. i think it is a win for hillary clinton, a loss for republicans. republicans will still continue to push this, for sure. >> the fbi director said that she and her aides were extremely careless, especially when dealing with classified information. do you think this will damage her chances of securing the presidency? >> i think that is up to the voters and american people. polls tell us that even though she'd does have -- she does have numbers, sheorthy is still leading in all the polls. >> the trunk campaign desk that donald trump campaign and house speaker paul ryan have both said

that the recommendation not to prosecute defies explanation, saying no one should be above the law. republicans are saying she should not be above the law. do you think this is a hurdle she can overcome, or is this hefty ammunition for republicans? >> i think it is a hurdle she can overcome because donald trump has just as high untrustworthy numbers and almost againsting lawsuits him. the more republicans -- on the idea hillary clinton is not trustworthy, the more you will see the picture of donald trump because he has also proven to not be trustworthy -- the more republicans double down on the idea hillary clinton is not trustworthy.

>> he has also gained support from this anti-establishment feeling. republicans are already trying to paint the decision as being rigged. is this not going to bolster his campaign among people who were already disenchanted with clinton as it is? >> of course. not likeeople who do hillary clinton are going to like her, and i think this just they aren shows that not going to like her. what this means for her is she will have to work on turning out individuals who do support her, democrats who voted for the president, campaigning with the president in north carolina. she is campaigning later this week with the vice president. she is really going to turn out african-american voters, young people, so on and so forth, and that will be her way to win this

campaign. >> thank you, richard fowler, joining us on the line romm washington, d.c. managed to put a space craft into jupiter's orbit, and in mintz -- an immense achievement after an epic five-year voyage. we have more now. >> after a journey of over 2 , it is nowometers orbiting -- nasa's expedition is now orbiting jupiter. mission.nailbiting >> we hit our target within one second, a target that was just tens of kilometers large. isn't that incredible?

atmosphere and vanish. >> we do not normally show these photos, but this one is a milestone. is a birthday for the humble bikini. it is a surprise to no one to discover that this is the .nvention of a frenchman infamous hire an dancer to model it because no respectable woman would go near it. sadly, not much occasion to wear it in paris right now. the weather is pretty awful. moving on from the bikini to the business. will: i have not put my bikini
