francois hollande: number one, we have to protect the french people. you will notice the ministers in charge of security have been kept on and there positions strengthened. my second concern is, of course, employment. >> hollande, one of the least popular french presidents in history, increasingly finds socialistpporting his values while responding to minorities. a series of tough constitutional reforms, including a measure that could see those convicted of terrorist ties stripped of their french citizenship, was -- ed by the debates,will be undoubtedly corrections, as there should be. but i do not want it to go on for too long. the french people want the discussions to end, and so do i. >> but in a move to reassure the socialist party call, hollande is promising to tackle endemic unemployment. he has also vowed, in the wake of the success of cop21 in paris last year, to prioritize the environment. appointed three green ministers to his cabinet. move, expressed at defeating the green opposition. molly: pope francis will hold talks with the russian ortho

what did francois hollande speak about tonight in his speech? c: he explained the reason for the reshuffle. he said the government is here to act, to reform. we saw the three priorities he set out for the government. he said it was important to open it up to the green party. the green had left his government nearly two years ago and he clearly needs them into show that he is able to reach out beyond his own socialist party. he didn't make any major announcements. he, again, said that he really unemployment. he had promised that unemployment would lower. it hasn't happened. he said, yes, i understand this needs to happen. he was asked repeatedly whether he would run for reelection next year. he said, i'm not making any calculations. michael is to be present until the last -- my goal is to be present until the last moment when i have to make this decision. he wants to show you he is not bothered by any political issues . his goal is to protect france from terrorism and to make sure the reforms can bear fruit. there is a big question mark over the

let's focus on president francois hollande. he is drawing criticism because he is thought to be perhaps not quite socialist enough anymore. flo: the socialist president has been championing some issues that have been traditionally right wing. this is great, on the front page of "l'opinion." they have depicted him as goldilocks, fallen asleep in a comfortable looking bed, which is the right wing. and the three bears looking at francois hollande, or three main players in the opposition. you can see the small there is nicholas sarkozy. so thrilled tom find francois hollande sleeping in their bed. by stabilizing and stealing ideas from the right, francois hollande is stabilizing the right. people wonder if this is a good political strategy. genie: this alarming spread of traditionally, spread by mosquitoes, but there is a new development there as well. lookingery ominous front page. this is the enemy, the mosquito, of the zika virus, is on the verge of turning into a massive pandemic. there is been that case in texas, and the china

the current favorites and how francois hollande's socialists are reacting. reporter: he is the latest want to enter the race. "i will be candidate in this primary because after 18 months of silence, years and years of being involved in all it takes, i've written a book." and they have already looks to explain why they are the best suited to be the party candidates in 2017. several men stand in the way the unp, amongs of the them to former prime minister's. another strong contender is former president nicholas sarkozy. he staged a political comeback to take the reins of the party and is not officially announced he will run in the primary contest. taught everyone has welcome his return. -- not everyone has welcome his return. on sunday, most left of the center-right convention when sarkozy delivered his speech. sitearkozy: journals the is hard to unite. -- it is hard to unite but it is indefensible. reporter: former president sarkozy has been criticized for a gap increase seen as too right-wing by some, including one who is present for an alliance for the cent

another potential candidates is francois hollande's first prime minister. this would be surprising because he left his prime ministership not very happy to be pushed aside, but that's a possibility. more interestingly, politically, is whether the cabinet reshuffle will involve other ministries, because we know francois hollande is struggling in the polls. he needs to show his camp that he's still in command, that he can make appointments maybe to green party members, maybe to members to the left of this party that are unhappy with his security policies, his economic policies, and so on. so it will be very interesting to know who will be appointed, how broad the reshuffle will be. we'll probably know either tomorrow or friday of the new french government will look like. >> thanks for that, marc, our french politics editor. also in france last night, the french parliament voted on a controversial constitutional amendment that would allow citizens to be stripped of their nationality if they're convicted of terrorism. that divisive article, article two, pass th

the conservatives have made it clear they intend to make francois hollande's stand by his words. immediately after announcing this move to strip french citizens of their citizenship if convicted as terrorists, he said no one would be deprived of having a country. the only people who would be punished are those who are dual nationals. discriminatory. the only people who could face this kind of thing would be those who are binational. -- no talk today of dual nationality. the senate majority will want to know what the french government intends to do about french nationals who are convicted of terrorism. will they also be stripped of their nationality? if so, what do we do about their consequent statelessness? the bigger one still comes when the 3/5 majority of all parliamentarians gathered together -- gather together. emma: france's foreign minister has announced he is stepping down. laurent fabius will leave government, having been chosen by the french president to lead the country's highest court. oliver farry takes a look back at the career so far of laurent fabius. 1984, lauren

we see the change because francois hollande, when he first announced this, surprising everyone just after the terrorist attacks, said it would be for dual nationals. now the prime minister has said the government would support a proposal to strip citizenship from all french nationals -- dual nationals, single nationals, those who were born here, those who acquired french citizenship -- because you cannot discriminate. you are either french or you are not french. the problem is that you could render someone stateless, and you are not supposed to do this. this is just the beginning of the debate. it is going to last a few days. it could be longer than that. we will have to see what compromise will come of this in the end. this is the support the government is seeking. molly: so there is no clear indication of whether or not there will be enough votes to pack this package -- to pass this package? this is just one measure of a constitutional reform the government is proposing, basically to enshrine a state of emergency in the french constitution. this is obviously a much broader issue. the go
