President Hollande addressed the nation in the small hours of the morning as the full horror of the lorry attack in Nice began to sink in. France isn't the only European country to suffer terror attacks, but it does seem to suffer more of them than most others. We try to examine the reasons why.

Also in this programme are police shootings of black people in the US giving rise to a new civil rights movement? The surprising engine behind the upsurge in violence in Indian Kashmir. China is told it can't do as it pleases in the South China Sea. And we assess the avalanche of news here in Britain.
