Attack in Nice: Many dead as lorry hits crowd

At least 84 people have died, including children, after a lorry struck a crowd marking Bastille Day celebrations in the southern French city of Nice.
It happened on the famous Promenade des Anglais after a firework display. The driver was shot dead and guns and grenades were found inside the lorry.
President Francois Hollande said the attack was of a "terrorist nature".
He extended a state of emergency across France by three months.
The president added that "operational reserves" would be deployed to support the army and security forces across the country, with particular focus on the borders.
About 50 people were injured, 18 of them critically, in the incident on Thursday, which was Bastille Day - France's national day.
Prosecutor Jean-Michel Pretre said the lorry drove 2km (1.2 miles) through a large crowd, the AFP news agency reported.
One image on Twitter showed about a dozen people lying on the street.
Interior Ministry spokesman Pierre-Henry Brandet denied earlier reports of hostage situations and said the driver of the lorry had been "neutralised".
He added that officials were investigating whether the driver acted alone.
No group has so far claimed responsibility, however prosecutors said the inquiry would be handled by anti-terror investigators.
