we -- we will get more details actually in about 45 minute's time when the prosecutor of france will speak in parisand we understand that he will give us more details about the investigation and also about the suspect himself, but the details which are emerging during the course of today as investigations continue by the police and also intensive media news -- is underway here is that the local -- the man himself may have actually worked with the victim of the decapitation. the version of events which is emerging in the past couple of hours is that the attacker had a pass which allowed him onto the chemical depot, the pass may have been owned by his boss who was in the car with him, and the understanding is his boss was the victim of the decapitation. once inside he then tried to ram his van into the chemical and gas canisters which were inside that depot, attempting to set off a very large explosion indeed. there was an explosion, but not one which catastrophically destroyed the whole of the plant. in relation to his motivation for all of this that is still unclear, but what the investigations are

the foreign minister of france will be chairing in paris, and spoke, in french obviously, that we are first generation to understand the issue of change, and that we are the last generation to do something about it. i'm a grandmother with five grandchildren, happy irish grandmother. they range from 11 to 1 in aig. the others will be in the 40s. what kind of world will they have. they share with 9 billion other people. how will there be a way to secure food. will there be enough water. these go through my mind, unless we take good decisions this year, to set us on this course for a move much more rapidly than we are doing to a renewable world with jobs, if california and other places approves. the future is good. but we have to change course and head in the right direction. >> what happens if we don't. what is the alternative? >> well - we need to avoid this catastrophic 4 degree world, a world where people are displaced by climate, and this is the important year of sustainable development goals for all countries, which will make us think about what it is to live sustainably in our wor

france has just today voted in brought into force rather, new sweeping surveillance law that was developed off the back of the attacks here in parisat the beginning of the year to really counter the threat of homegrown violence and the threat of french citizens returning from conflicts in the middle east. that's where france's surveillance focus has been directed. but clearly what they have potentially not focused on is the threat from countries who traditionally are regarded as allies. so really soul searching will probably be taking place over the coming days and weeks as the french authorities take to heart exactly how to move forward in all this. particularly when it comes to diplomatic relations in washington. >> neave. thank you very much. >>> greece's prime minister tsipras is back in brussels. he needs to secure a debt deal by early next week to avoid a default. they want to improve their tax andtheir tax measures. lee is following those developments in brussels. he joins you now. tsapris has been meeting in brussels. it will be quite difficult testy talks one would imagine. >> yes, the deal needs to be made by the end of

france. many people feel that the new spying revelations are disibility be designed to coincide with frens citizens from the kind of home grown violence witnessed here in paris five months ago. but there's also a concern that there's a blind spot in this law raising questions as to whether france needs more security to protect itself from its friends as well as its enemies. u.s. president barack obama and president hollande have reportedly spoken to each other by telephone. but washington promising to work as allies with france. but with wikileaks promising more revelations to come, france may decide on a more cautious approach. neave barker, al jazeera paris. >> for more, we're joined by jonathan crystal. jonathan, good to have you with us. >> thank you. >> trance has been seen as one of the most reliable u.s. allies if not the most reliable when it comes to iran and the middle east. could this damage relations? >> i think we have enough strong mutual interests with france that this is not going to harm our relationship in the long run. i mean it's a little bit embarrassing for france for this to come out but i don't think it's a surprise to anyone in the d

france. >> neave barker joins live from paris. how cross and upset is the french government?s you probably gleaned there, the french government are being careful, but they are certainly outraged by the claims made in wikileaks and repeated in the daily newspaper here. a sign of how annoyed they are was probably given away by the fact that they quickly convened that emergency defense council meeting early on in the day. out of that several different actions were initiated. the first was the decision to send senior intelligence officers over to washington to ask more questions and gather more evidence, and really verify the extent of the claims that are being plead. secondly the u.s. ambassador to france has been summoned to the french foreign ministry. we believe that talks are now taking place there as i speak. but this of course all comes at a rather awkward time for both france and the united states. back in late 2013 early 2014 president hollande went over to washington and specifically asked barack obama not to spy on france. that request came in the middle of claims made

france. the mayor of paris is watching the talks is great interest. she spoke in this collusive interview with matt winkler in paris about greece possibly leaving the eurozone. to staylly want greece in the eurozone. there is no short-term escalation that would lead us to think they have made competitive devaluations or they would be better off of. i think that from a political and economic point of view, the instability that this would generate in the european area would be extremely negative for everyone. mark: paris is using public investment to create incubators inspired by the united states and silicon valley. you can watch the full interview on bloomberg.com. matt: banks are lining up for a shot at commercial lending businesses. , capital one, and toronto dominion are just a few among the many interested. the businesses have about $40 billion in loans outstanding. they have been selling off the assets of their unit. demand for new airlines keeps airline sales soaring. airlines around the world needs 38,000 new planes in the next 20 years. that i
