french mp's are due to examine the law later today. that is why it is a very important day for the protesters. they want to maintain the pressure against the french government. over the past two months they have been protesting, taking to the streets, chanting antigovernment slogans. right now, as you can see the stage behind me, union leaders are giving speeches directly address the -- directly -- rebel socialist to have come here, seen the gathering. take a listen to what union leaders are saying. they are saying they do not even want this bill to be tweaked. they wanted to be scrapped entirely. catherine: take us through some of the issues the demonstrators have been talking about. are theyarticular opposed to with a labor reforms? aurore: among the main sticking points, catherine, is the fact that the students that we have , they say the workers this bill will only make it easier for their employers to lay off workers for economic reasons, so they say that the bill will threaten job security and will threaten their social rights. s

>> well, they were told that the french foreign minister, the french government stands behind them, they are the priority and finding the plane is the priority. and the french minister as well as francois hollande telling them their anguish -- they share their family's anguish at this time. no official cause, no official explanation for why this plane disappeared as yet. but everyone is assuming the worst, because of as tom mentioned the way this disappeared simply vanishing off of radar. there are crisis centers set up at charles de gaulle airport as well as at the airport in cairo. relatives are gathering at both places at this point. french and egyptian nationals made up the motion of that manifest. 30 egyptians, 15 french on board that plane as well as a number of europeans, africans and people from the middle east. we understand that the french foreign minister was going to meet with the families at the airport and we're hoping to hear from him again shortly. we have not yet heard from him. but the french also pledging any kind of support the egyptians may need in terms of search an

cyril: marc perelman is our french politics editor. you are tracking the movements of the first question for you today is, how dangerous is this for the government at this stage? marc: it is dangerous especially for a leftist government and president, france while whole lot, who said i am the man of theal dialogue and for first four years of his mandate has had problems here and there, but on the whole has been able avoid major demonstrations, strife, and social unrest. this is clearly a test, and it is dangerous because it is affecting every french. this is why the trade union, the cgt, is targeting the oil sector, because it knows everyone has a car or needs to have something delivered for work or for personal reasons, so this is why this is an open challenge to the government, that they have to get out of it. it is difficult because you need either to negotiate and to stand firm, because many people are unhappy to have their private lives being disrupted by all the turbulence. cyril: in this tug-of-war between the government and the

very defiant french president. thiss on french radio morning, saying he wanted to be a president that would be remembered. downemembered for backing the trade unions but for standing up for something. this is the last year of his five-year term, so he wants to go down in history. the president is defiant, but so are the protesters. the protesters said earlier, look, they said they were not listening to us, let's push the reforms through parliament and we will make them listen to us. annette: claire williams reporting, thank you. there will be updating us on this protests throughout the course of the day. itselfr news, has given powers over security, food is to be shot and energy supply as it imposes the state of emergency for 60 days. the president saying that such powers are necessary to fight the effects of what he calls "economic sabotage." >> nicolas maduro's response to the crisis rocking his country, a degree. establishing a state of economic emergency. they give him sweeping powers. maduro had laid out goals

the bea here investigate crashes with french aircraft with the french citizens and departure from parisat least, they have not had the egyptians ask them to come. their teams are standing by. no word if they are on the way yet. out at the airport, there is an investigation going on to talk to people who are directly involved in the aircraft's handling last night before it left here. anybody who may have been involved. including baggage handlers and security people and the folks who load the food service carts. that kind of thing. also the airport has a crisis center set up for the families who are starting to appear. they are trying to keep the press away from them, of course, and another crisis press center set up out there. it is also part of the operation. a lot of crisis management kind of going on here. at the moment, at least, the french investigators have not left or not on the way. they are waiting for word from the egyptians to come. christine and boris. >> jim, last november, there were reports of dozens of people employed at the charles de gaulle airport on a terror watch lis

the french president it is going to provide any assistance they need.art, quote, our concerns go to all those affected. airbus will make further factual information available as soon as the details have been confirmed and cleared by the authorities for release. >>> for more, we are joined by nbc tracie potts. i know this is an ongoing investigation. what can you tell us? >> i can tell you that the greek defense ministry is saying that the plane has made sudden swerves before it disappeared off of radar. now, our experts suggest that could be signals coming from various parts of the plane, as it broke apart in the air. still, more questions than answers about what happened overnight to this plane. we know there were no americans on board among the 66 people who were on that plane, including some security officers and at least three children on that manifest. as you noted french president hollande is now officially calling this a crash. although questions remain about how this plane disappeared. egyptian authorities, greek authorities searching the medite

the french are still in charge of all of the cities in french indochina. they were in control of more than the americans and the south vietnamese in the vietnam war. all of the european countries were bust because of world war ii. the french say they will go on fighting if the americans will commit troops. eisenhower decides not to pay decides that, in a cost-benefit analysis, having seen the expense of the korean war, he decides it is not fit. the americans pulled back and the geneva conference is mediated by the british and the soviets in order to come up with an unworkable compromise. eisenhower's essential policy of containment is one in which he argues that rollback is too dangerous. he begins a process. he succeeded by collective leadership from which chris jeff and merges. eisenhower begins the summit. in 1955 at geneva, he says to mellon cough, that then leading russian leader -- the soviets are able to copy that more quickly than they have the atomic long. by 1954, both sides have the hydrogen bomb. eisenhower says, if there is war between the two

there are 15 french citizens, french nationals onboard that flight.their priority right now is those people and their families and finding this plane. and to that note, pledging any and all support egyptian authorities might be willing to accept in terms of search and rescue, boats, planes, helicopters, whatever the egyptians might need. so the french offering their support in terms of finding this plane. also the transport minister saying we've noted, alex, that there were ten crew members. among those ten crew members, three security officials. the transport minister saying that is absolutely normal operating procedure. nothing unusual about that. there have also been reports that there was nothing unusual in the cargo, nothing officially listed in the cargo of that flight that would be dangerous, unusual, possibly cause any sort of security issue. so that's what we're hearing from the french. in terms of the egyptians, we've heard lots of conflicting reports throughout these early-morning hours. some of them from the official social media feeds of

the greeks being involved, the brits, the french, a number of french officials have arrived here earlyo take part in the investigation. the cypriots and italians also involved. but a significant development earlier on this morning, the greek authorities have said they have pulled the frig aate from e area where this search is going on. and they say so far as the coast guard is concerned they are not any longer involved. the search area, which is 230 miles southeast of crete is too far for the coast guard to act, they do, though, say that they have a c-130 involved, and they have other aircraft stationed in crete that could be involved in this search and rescue effort. remember, this is still a search and rescue effort. and for the relatives of those 66 people on board flight 804, that is important. they, many of whom are gathered here yesterday, very difficult for these relatives. there was a much confusion, and many more questions than answers. yesterday, and those continue, of course, since this flight disappeared en route from charles de gaulle to cairo with these 66 people on board

french officials are saying they believe it has crashed.y flying hours, no problems. the passengers were predominantly from france but also passengers from egypt, britain, belgium, iraq, kuwait, saudi. three small children on board. the pilots had many flying hours. the pilot had over 6,000, the main pilot. right now there's a lot of confusion as to which country or agency will handle the investigation or the wreckage but the president of france has said he believes the plane has crashed and they are announcing their officials investigation into the egyptair crash. the prosecutors said in a statement it's a corrective accident department that opened the investigation in france and they will be working with other countries. there's nothing being ruled out at this stage. also egypt's prime minister is saying it's too early to rule out or confirm anything. they will be having a press conference about 7:30 eastern time if not earlier. we are told greeks are helping out with the search as well. donald trump has been tweeting about this already.

we do know there are 14 family or friends, french nationals, associated with the passengers who are frenchoard the flight were egyptian nationals and french nationals. so, a significant development if it is proved to be correct. this is an enormous or has been an enormous operation. search and rescue operation as it was until this point. we haven't had it confirmed it is now a search and recovery effort. the egyptians helped in this by the greek navy, by the british, by the french, who sent investigators over today. by the cypriots and italians. it is a big area. as far as the egyptian military is concerned. this is from the spokesman that said the debris found north of alexandr alexandria. the area where the plane dropped off the radar was 260 yards south of the island of crete. it makes sense if this information can be stood up. you rightly point out that egyptair tweeting regret and condolences saying they will make every effort to ensure family and friends are kept in the loop and knowing what is going on. president el sisi in the hours after the event insisting, demanding that the sea

first the french president, french media reporting that he has spoken about this. he has been in touch with the two counts and french media reporting there is an emergency meeting held by the government officials in the next ten minutes or so regarding the missing flight 804. we want to tell you more about the time line here. according to the governor of greek civil avian authority. bear with me here. the timings are a little strange. we are hearing from the egyptian authorities from egyptair, that the flight disappeared from radar at 2:30 a.m. local time, cairo time. here is the break down from greek civil aviation. they say about 35 minutes prior, that is about 1:55 a.m., cairo time, egypt air entered greek air space. ten minutes later, 2:05 greek air traffic controllers speak to the egyptian pilot while we was flying above the greek island of kia. no problems of communications there. the aircraft is at 37,000 feet at a speed of 519 miles per hour. then at 2:24, so this is six minutes before it's reported missing, air traffic controllers in greece tried to commun

annette: let's move to french politics. we have had another revelation in this part of the world, that being the deputy leader of the lower house of parliament, who resigned amid allegations of sexual harassment. flo: it is a huge story in the french press. it is not the first time french politics has been rocked with such a sex scandal, the you can see this front page saying that things are changing. the age of impunity for men in power is ending, it is time to put an end to this law of silence, the code of silence. things are changing thanks to the fact that many women in politics are breaking their silence. women politicians are finally saying stop, enough is enough, and indeed, that is what happened in this case. denis baupin resigned after eight women from his former party, stepped forward accusing him of shocking allegations of sexual harassment and even sexual assault. there is one instance where a woman alleged that he pushed her up against a wall and tried to force her to kiss him. another woman said he center wave

cnbc's hadley gamble is joining us live in the french capital. hadley, good morning.hat are you hearing about this? >> reporter: good morning, alex. well essentially we have heard growing questions about the destinations that this a-320 aircraft made before flying out of charles de gaulle at 11:09 p.m. on that fateful flight to cairo. in the 24 hours prior to the depart chur of flight 804, the aircraft made stops in belgium. it was in eritrea, and in tunisia and in egypt itself before arriving at charles de gaulle, so questions if there were security implications for the aircraft and whether this was in fact a terror incident. certainly from the egyptians themselves, the civil aviation administrator saying this is indeed maybe terror. so some big questions concerning what actually happened to flight 804. we'll continue to follow them from here in paris. guys? >> thank you. cnbc's hadley gamble from paris. >>> let's get a check on your weather now with nbc meteorologist bill karins. what say you about the weekend? >> nothing too violent, sunday, some storms in the cent

the french president was just speaking.hen we ingest what he said we'll find what's relevant for you and give it to you. right now we have cnn diplomatic editor nick robertson live in london with more. you do have some new information. help us understand. >> this information comes from the head of greek civil aviation. we know from greek authorities they told us that they spoke to the pilots on board the aircraft at 2:26 in the morning local time. there was nothing untoward, nothing wrong reported by the pilots at that time. now, the new information is that that conversation actually happened as the plane was passing over an island close to athens. what the head of greek civil aviation then says took place is extremely concerning. he said the greek air traffic controllers called out to the aircraft ten miles before it was due to pass out of greek air space and into egyptian air space. when they called out to the aircraft at that time they didn't get a response. they continued to try to reach the pilot and the co-pilot on bo

it would have been french people, french security services. who knows? there's great concern about insider threat, insider risk in the aviation security industry at the moment. richard quest referred to it or, sorry, your other correspondent, that the french authorities have been weeding out, as it were, people on the watch list. that has to happen right around the entire world. i get very concerned when i see what i refer to as cosmetic security. i saw some on here a couple of days ago. i've just arrived back in istanbul yesterday, lunchtime. and people sometimes are not taking it all that seriously at the airports. i get really quite concerned when i watch people. i just naturally do this. >> right. >> these things have to be intelligence led. it's like an onion. you've got to peel it back from the outside in. >> it is a big concern. captain desmond ross joining us there. many thanks to you. your gut feeling that this is perhaps cataclysmic of some nature. we don't know of course. it's all purely speculative. we're trying to piece this together. we'll

tell bus your confidence in french officials? >> the french have a very good group of folks that work for them. they have all the best tools available, similar to that of the ntsb. their confidence level very high. given the fact that it is one of their own products isn't airbus they have a wealth of knowledge given the fact that airbus is not too far down the road from their offices. so they have the ability to draw on the most probably the best subject matter expertise in very short order and they have the capabilities amongst their investigative staff to once they get the evidence like john was talking about, getting a cockpit voice recorder and flight recorder and some of the wreckage they can do the analysis. just remember the cbr and fdr will not tell what happened to this airplane. all it does is it shows what was transpiring up to the point of the loss of the aircraft and it definitely will not tell us why. that's going to take other information and other analysis to try to make that determination. >> all right. thank you

we heard from the french president and the french foreign affairs minister, basically saying they don the cause of the plane's disappearance. they say the airlines as the cause has not been confirmed. a of world leaders say they want to make sure they get their facts right. even though donald trump has better facts on the ground on the ground, here in egypt, we could infer from his tweet -- tom: i want to suggest with our conversations with our bureau chief in cairo, i think he was wonderful this morning, the backdrop of how egypt has faced these tragedies. obviously, i believe 20 is ago, 17 years ago, the horrific egyptair crash, but moving on to more recent events, francine, including the russian airline and the hijacking that leads to a fragility around these events this morning. francine: yes, tom, and it is important, just remind everyone, we don't know the cause of what happened. we do not know what happened to the plane. it is not been identified. we can report with certainty these midair emergencies are rare, especially for a relatively new plane. if you look at the track rec

places a very symbolic for the french left-wing. this is where francoicois hollande held a victory rally after he won. aremany of the same people back here protesting against his government. he left the door open to amendments to the bill that the protesters want reversed. how is that playing out? the prime minister said he could imagine some modifications to the bill but that he could not imagine what they would be and that the heart of the bill would not be changed. for the protesters today, those words do not mean an awful lot. any changes he would agree to would because medical. they say this is an attack on workers rights. -- any changes he would agree to would be cosmetic. they say this is an attack on workers rights. we will continue to hear more from you throughout the afternoon. we will be taking a close look at how many people turn out. let's take a look at paris's most famous museum, the louvre. the pyramid which has almost become as iconic as the eiffel tower has disappeared. well, kind of. >> blink and it is gone. the f

there's also a crisis cell that they can contact at the french foreign ministry.there's a special number they can call in there if they want to. but that's the priority for the government is addressing the needs of the families at this point. and they've also gone to some lengths to make it clear to the egyptian authorities they're willing to help in any way they can logistically for the search effort going on. the french do have a number of military assets in that part of the mediterranean. there might be some ships and air force planes out in that area that could be put into play if the egyptians feel it's necessary. and of course they're going to be very involved once they find the wreckage of this plane, if it is a crash that's taken please. egyptair is not confirming that. but if it has crashed and there is wreckage found, the french investigators would be deeply involved because this is an aircraft that was made in france and of course it departed from france. they'll want to know exactly what happened. rosemary. >> and still we don't know very much about wh

that according to the french prime minister there. the french prime minister ruling that nothing can be ruled out. that just causing the news wire there. so in terms of the amount of people that were on board, what do we know about this airbus? >> being a navy pilot i've been listening to the other analyst who's have been on talking about this. they talk about how you would consider the safety record. it's a passenger plane. when you look at what may have happened, they'll look at the maintenance records. the particular aircraft. for something to disappear off radar. what may have caused that to happen. i think probably the first place to look and what the french prime minister indicates is to possibly look at the security situation. and of course, we've seen very big challenges with security in paris recently. in france as well as egypt. so we'll have to see. hopefully we'll find this aircraft, something. it would be great if we found survivors but we'll have to wait and see. >> and it was reported earlier that this particular aircra

>> that's a big concern for the french government. the whole image problem that goes with this crash that kind of shown the spotlight on the security operations here at charles de gaulle airport which have over the last year or so been investigated pretty thoroughly. they've changed some things around. they lifted the badges of more than 80 employees because they felt they had been involved in radicalization efforts. it is the kind of thing that sends a chill down the spine of anyone who might be planning to come for the roland garros tennis tournament which is coming up. we have the euro 2016 soccer tournament which is going to bring millions of people to france. and later on in the summer the tour de france bicycle race. all these things coming up, as well as the normal tourism season. this kind of thing, if anything casts doubt upon the security operations here at the airport or elsewhere in france, it could really have a damaging effect from a tourist standpoint. so i think the french are doing a lot to try to show that they're do

egyptians are getting help from the french.sel with two dive experts, a small submarine and ac krrkaccu detectors. the weather is rough today. a lot of white tops on the waves and swell. that will make the search and recovery harder. the submarine has a depth of 3,000 meters. it sounds a lot. the sea is as much as 2 miles deep or 5,000 meters deep. it is really critical to have this french ping detector to detect the pings coming off the black boxes that are now believed to be resting on the ocean floor. egyptians have said all along they are short of some necessary equipment to do the search. the minister of aviation is working with the allies to get the equipment. to get a sense of where the egyptians are in the stages that the search will go through, the french have put it this way. the french are saying they still need to find the main parts of debris before they can even usefully deploy the submersible vehicle to pick up the transmissions. they are warning this could take some time. days or weeks, alison. >> cnn's nic robe

we've watched as not just french officials but french government ministers arriving at the hotel.with those family members, there have been complaints they haven't been getting enough information to meet with them. and ensure that they hear things before we do, that is exactly the right way to treat a situation like this. you don't want relatives of people who are on board complaining about the way the situation is being handled. that sends out a terrible, terrible message. some have traveled to cairo to be, i guess, closer to where the plane came down. it was, after all, around 30 minutes from landing in cairo. but we've also been hearing from the french foreign minister who on one side was talking about a kind of ad hoc collision searching for the debris, coalition of france, greece, of egypt, of the u.s., involved in trying to find where that plane is. but also talked about the importance of being cautious, because they know that relatives are watching and listening. >> . >> reporter: so the french foreign minister, being cautious, that said, though, behind the scenes, chris, t

french artists. they were viewed as collaborators and recently i saw an exhibition critique in london and it was just last week and it raised the history where he had gone to germany during the war and portrayed him as a collaborator. if you went to germany and you were seen as part of the propaganda spectacle, yes there was an effect on one's career. if one lived quietly in france or the netherlands or even germany itself and worked quietly and sold one's work through the art dealers who continued in this area and sold to collectors, one could could continue after the war with very little difficulty. the modern artists, for the most part, they propagated their accounts. they furthered the mythology of the alienated modern artist. so for example, he wrote his memoirs after the war and devoted about ten pages to his career and basically he portrayed himself as a victim, someone who had retreated to his studio in the north of germany in a rural area and he had painted with water colors. he said because
