the city, elected officials, came together to pay tribute to the victims of the nice attack that took place thursday night when a terrorist got behind the wheel of a free truck, rent -- of the freight truck, ran into least 84s, killing at people, injuring 300 more. i would remind you that several people are still fighting for their lives in hospitals in and around nice. you can see prime minister manuel valls there as well as local officials. the investigation into the attack in nice is making progress. a link with a jihadist network has not been established , but there formally have been several arrests over the weekend. a 22-year-old is expected -- is suspected of providing logistical support. our correspondent has more. >> details emerging in the police investigation of the

attack on bastille day suggests it was premeditated. four days after the killings, authorities are continuing to piece together the motives of a muhammad large bowl lahauiej bohlel. police sources say he visited the promenade at least twice in the days leading up to the massacre. the islamic state group has claimed responsibility for the attack, but french interior links to the his terrorist group are yet to be established. the modus operandi is the exact message of the islamic state group. when i call for attacks on national landmarks, on symbolic dates.

people are being held for questioning, including a couple suspected of supplying the gun used to carry out the killings. after questioning french authorities believe that mohamed lahouaiej bouhlel became radicalized recently. his estranged wife was held in an investigation but was released sunday. >> i want to take you to the scene in nice on the promenade, the beachfront, where the attacks took place, to the scene .nd what occurred moments ago it was very significant. the pie minister getting booed, and then the first responders getting clapped and applauded. >>[shouting in french] [applause]

marc perelman, our french news editor is here. reactingthe country is -- after the charlie hebdo attacks a year and a half ago, we have a real sense for those of us who live in this country that people are coming together. there was a sense of national unity. it sounds cliched, but we could feel it at the time. as the pictures show us, that is no longer the case. >> at the site where the tragic events occurred, you heard the booze for the prime minister. for theeard the boos prime minister, shouts calling for his resignation, and clapping for police, firefighters, and health workers. the people at the scene are obviously very emotional. those were mainly locals, some of which were there on july 14

the attacking, when happened, and so obviously the feeling is very raw. but there is no minute of silence, no national unity anymore. obviously nice and the area around the region are known to be conservative or even far right dominated areas. so there might be also a willingness by some who are in attendance to politicize this very dignified, supposedly dignified moment. >> you are saying when the prime minister comes, he is socialist, left wing -- it is not hostile territory -- >> he is in hostile territory. but if this were after the attacks on charlie hebdo, and after the last november attack, this would not have happened. there was shock and a moment of national unity, but this is no more the case in france. >> break down the properly

critical aspect of this. we are entering a political year for it, if he chooses to run again, faces a tough reelection battle. knives are drawn. drawn and they were drawn very quickly. this might explain what we just saw and heard it immediately after the attack, the main contender on the conservative , generally a thoughtful, quiet politician who did not criticize the government after the previous attack, immediately went on the radio and said i believe that if everything had been done, this could have been prevented. since then, all the contenders, or the conservative presidential seat, have all been piling on the government. the former president, nicholas sarkozy, went on television yesterday and pounded the government, saying not everything has been done. >> let's listen to the former french head of state. have been head of state and

i know that there is no such thing as errant risk. i know that well. to say,t -- i want because it is true, that everything that needed to be done over the last 18 months, has not been done. >> so there is no longer any doubt. politics in france is going to revolve around this issue of terrorism, what has been done, what has not been done, what could be done. >> there was a debate after the previous attacks because the perpetrators were known to the police and intelligence services, and there was some debate that surveillance was not good enough, that the ball was dropped at some point. which is not the case until now. recent attack. but has really changed, and a figaro today possible le

shows that two thirds of the french do not trust the president and his government when it comes to facing terrorism. this proportion was half the french trusting the government and the president in previous attacks, so this has clearly changed, and this is why you are seeing the opposition. they are really piling on, saying france is not protected, the president is not doing his job, and this is why the government is responding. we see the interior minister, after today possible emergency meeting, saying we know it to the french to act in a dignified owe it toying we kno the french to act in a dignified way. >> marc perelman with the political angle there. inant to bring our viewers on the very raw emotions in nice today. this is a population that it is

mark, you have been speaking and you have attended this moment of silence, the moment of what you could read what we would have thought would have been national unity. but it was not. it was billed as a moment of silence, and it turned into spontaneous applause, the people wanting to do things their own way. when the politicians arrived, they were booed. let me tell you, here it was the entire crowd. billing, whistling, jeering. the insults were serious stuff that i cannot repeat on television. there is a feeling here of complete anger and shock, and people are kind of oscillating between the two. people here are very angry about what happened, and that continues.

it is set to continue for a long time for children of course were killed -- it is set to continue for a long time. children of course were killed. five children are still in intensive care. two of them, their lives still in danger. get more and more angry, and when the politicians heard who wasyou to blame -- it was them. >> thank you very much. moving on to other world news now -- authorities in the u.s. are looking to the possible motivations of a baton rouge killer. the man who shot dead police officers yesterday was a former marine. he served in iraq. according to "the wall street journal," he was a member of an antigovernment group. the incident as to the tensions in the u.s. and specifically in baton rouge. mourners lay flowers outside

the baton rouge hospital, where injured police officers are being treated. a group of law enforcement officers came under fire at a local shopping center early sunday morning. witnesses described one attacker dressed in black, firing indiscriminately at police. the suspect was shot and killed at the scene. three police officers also lost their lives. officers whour have fallen in the line of duty. we pray for their families. we pray for peace everywhere. >> the gunman was identified as gavin long, a u.s. marine who served in iraq and posted videos online about police violence and racial injustice. the attack took place near baton rouge police station. violence after the killing of alton sterling. the following day in minnesota, of philandoh

castile's death was live streamed on social media. hundreds turned out for peaceful protests on july 8 in dallas, but the rally turned to tragedy as black military veterans shot blacklled five -- as a military group shot and killed five police officers. pres. obama: nothing justifies law that attack against law enforcement. the will of law makes it politely -- the rule of law makes society possible. demonstrations have led to -- >> the crackdown continues in turkey, and several branches of the government and security forces. 8000 policemen have just been

removed over suspected ,onnections to the coup attempt and the purge has also hit the military, the judiciary, and government workers in general. i want to bring in justin mortimer, our correspondent in ankara -- jasper mortimer, our correspondent in ankara. thousands within the ranks of the army and the judiciary -- tell us about the scale of this. jasper: over the weekend, the government announced the suspension or dismissal of some 6000 civil servants. half of them, about half of them , were soldiers and airmen, and were members of the judiciary -- judges and prosecutors. the news today, the interior ministry has announced the suspension of nearly 8000 police officers, plus 80 provincial

governors and districts governors. i think we should because it's about all of these suspensions and dismissal. one wonders how on earth 14,000 civil servants could have been implicated in this coup plot. if you are going to bring 14,000 people into your plot, isn't it going to leak? and the second thing one should be concerned about is, how is the turkish government going to operate at full efficiency with all of these sudden dismissals? >> tell us about the political context. it looks like this is something where president erdogan could use this context to further his domestic agenda and consolidate his power. jasper: yes, this is the fear on everybody's lips in turkey at the moment. in fact, many people are going so far as to think that the coup

attempt could have been staged because it fit into erdogan's plans of boosting his powers so easily. but nobody seriously thinks the coup attempt was staged. it was real for sure. nearly 300 people were killed, 1400 people wounded. the fighting was for real. i witnessed it. remains, it has dramatically boosted his support . a former turkish opposition politician has been quoted as could not coup makers have done erdogan a bigger favor. however, political -- a political analyst told "france 24" on the weekend that the boost to erdogan's popularity will not last long, particularly if the economy continues to deteriorate.

i think the chance will come, if and when erdogan puts a new constitution that would give him an executive presidency to a referendum. 55% of thecoup, people would vote against increasing his power. we'll see if that changes. mortimer reporting live from ankara. joins me forll business news per stephen, we are going to start with news of the big takeover in the technology industry. stephen: the biggest ever takeover of a european technology firm. buying softbank is british ship maker arm holdings. in a deal worth 24 billion pounds or 29 billion euros -- chipmaker arm holdings. in a deal with 29 billion euros. >> it is one of the crown jewels of the british tech industry.

arm holdings is one of the largest makers of microchips in smartphones and supplies copies like apple and samsung. its takeover by softbank will be the largest acquisition of a european technology business. the japanese telecom giant is expected to buy arm for 29 billion euros, above its market value. softbank's chairman said we have long regarded arm as a highly respected technology company. the market leader in its field. softbank has previously acquired japanese operations and the u.s. telecom company sprint. it will compete in the sector with american giants google and amazon. thedeal was facilitated by sterling falling against the yen, making the company cheaper to buy. the british government has said that the british brexit vote has not deterred foreign investment.

softbank's decision confirms that britain remains one of the most attractive destinations globally for investors to create jobs and wealth. softbank has said it will keep arm's headquarters in the u k and will not make changes to the senior management structure. it also has plans to double the number of staff from 4000 people over the next five years. arehe markets in turkey continuing to react to the attempt at coup attempt. stephen: shares are down sharply in istanbul. -- the airports operator down 1%. the turkish lira had its sharpest fall in a single day since 2008. after the attempted coup, only down five cents on the dollar -- 5% on the dollar. >> what about the rest of the

markets? stephen: a fairly quiet day on the markets. the exception being arm holdings. its shares are up by over 40% after that deal. paris and frankfurt trading slightly in the red. >> to nice next. stephen: the french government originally said today was the deadline for a third round of offers to buy its 60% stake in the air force. that has been delayed by a week. -- fivetinues contenders are running to buy that stick. it could be pushed back further. stuart: more business news? stephen: we will continue with a story from pokemon go. it tops the download charts after it was launched, but now people are selling their pokemon go accounts on ebay, tryining to get people who are joining the

game by selling their bigger collections. one on ebay sold for almost $200. taking the shortcuts. stuart: i just saw on a today -- s phoned stephen: i was selling those to you. >> just saying. time now for the press review. now is our correspondent who is reading the international press for us. good morning. majoress, across several news items today -- there is nice, turkey, the republican convention. let's start with nice. >> with the nice attack, a tunisian man w with troubling psychological issues -- a wife beater, a drunk, possibly a

sexual deviant -- this is coming out of "the wall street journal" and it includes several unsavory incidents he is connected with. >> let's look at the political angle with the french press. the attack has exposed divisions within the french political class. cartoon start with this which really says it all. you can see the french politicians are clambering over each other to put in their two cents worth after the nice attack, saying that we need to react differently. a terrorist attack can be prevented, and so forth. right there you see marine le pen and nicholas sarkozy running up to her, driving home the idea that he is sort of pandering to the far right now for political gain. last year, le monde makes an interesting point, saying that last year there was a united thetical front, after charlie hebdo attacks in march. ,ut much criticism has happened

including from nicholas sarkozy, who on tv attacked the wrench president. >> you can tell we are moving into an election year. the other big news story is turkey and the failed coup attempt there. >> let's start with harriet paper,he turkish pro-secular publication, typically critical of the turkish government. they have a very busy front page with a lot of different stories. the story on the top, you can see the big picture of the soldiers surrendering with the headline "government crushes coup attempt." the garden is also talking about its front page. -- the guardian is also talking about its front page. people for the moment, including top judges,

army commanders, have been detained, and erdogan is out for blood. even calling for the reinstatement of the death penalty. anti-eu and the u.s. are both getting worried about this concentration of power into erdogan's hands. >> he already had this authoritarian perception already, and now according to "the elgin daily -- now according to the belgian daily, in a way, this coup has totally helped him because he is the one who is victorious, standing strong at the end of it, without even really doing anything. he has managed to transform this reputation as an arrogant autocrat into what people are saying now is a symbol of democracy, the savior of turkish democracy. according to the story, he will turkey'simage as so-called hero to concentrate power even more into his own hands. >> there is an interesting editorial that you found in a turkish daily following the coup. >> it is a weekend editorial

saying aharriet daly salute to the media. it says the worst civilian government is still better than any coup administration. that is something i have been seeing in a lot of the press this morning. say that while erdogan's authoritarian governance is deplorable, the government in office must be replaced at the ballot box. they are really calling on the democratic values. the reason it is called a salute to the media is because the article salutes the media, saying that ironically, after years of trying to suppress and in him a date the media, they are the ones who saved him. they kept channels opened that allowed him a platform to reach out to the public and inform them of what was happening. so it is a great irony that erdogan was saved by the mouthpiece he was trying to intimidate. importantsay, it is to understand this, in particular this op-ed, which

means there is no opposition media in turkey anymore because they have taking government in and broadcast stations. that is the context and that is important. let's in end on another topic. the republican national convention, which begins today, monday, and last several days, and will be a correlation of donald trump. now, with the killings of the police officers in baton rouge yesterday, gun laws are front and center of what is being said at the convention. >> the convention is just starting, and it is already really about the guns, especially in the aftermath of what happened in baton rouge. i really like this piece from "usa today," highlighting the ridiculousness of american gun laws. i quote the magazine -- "delegates heading to cleveland can rest assured they will be safe from metal tipped

umbrellas, light bulbs, tennis balls, and other potentially dangerous items. these are all band at the convention. but they will be able to bring in their rifles, shotguns, ar-15's because úç
