Facebook is putting out tips on how to spot it, but could the British Election be the next to feel its impact . I am katty kay in new york, Christian Fraser is in paris. It is an extraordinary achievement. Not since the days of napoleon has a frenchman risen to power so young and with such speed. Not since world war ii has a leader taken power without a party and a parliamentary base. There were very few in the established Political Class who endorsed Emmanuel Macron or believed in his bid to become president , but president he will become this sunday when he assumes power from francois hollande. He has already resigned his leadership of the movement he began a year ago. It will now be re named La Republique en marche.

They will not live suspects at the time of their attacks. Its quite a jittery sort of fa ct attacks. Its quite a jittery sort of fact to learn, that they had been under suspicion that they had been deemed safe enough to move on enquiries from. You wonder how the Security Services are meant to cope with that number of potential suspects. Extraordinary. 20,000 who featured in that previous risk category, which is pretty scary.
