The state of emergency across France is being extended by six month, following an approval vote by the National Assembly.

The emergency was first imposed after the terror attacks in Paris last November that claimed the life of one hundred and thirty people.

The latest measure is coming on the wake of the last week's attack in Nice in which eighty-four people were killed and scores injured when a lorry was driven into crowds.

Prime Minister MANUEL VALLS said France must expect more deadly attacks despite precautions taken by his government.

The French President, who was speaking at the debate in the National Assembly, said France would have to learn to live with the threat.
