Europe correspondent Catherine Field tells Tim Beveridge questions are being raised about whether more could have been done to protect the site as Christmas markets have been subject to multiple attacks in recent history. 

Plus, France is set to have a new government, 10 days after the latest Prime Minister took office pledging to put together a coalition of moderates.
