French prosecutors1 say five suspected accomplices2 of the Tunisian men, who killed more than 80 people in a truck attack in Nice last week, have been charged. The Paris
Prosecutors' Office said the five were charged with terrorism-related offenses3. Earlier, prosecutors said phone records showed that the killer4, Mohamed Lahouaiej Bouhlel, had
been in regular contact with the alleged5 co-conspirators. The investigation6 underway since the night of July 14th has progressed, and not only confirmed the murderous,
premeditated nature of Mohamed Lahouaiej Bouhlel's act, but also established that he benefited from support and complicity in the preparation and implementation7 of his criminal
act.
Donald Trump8 will promise to end crime and violence in the US if he becomes president in the speech he'll give shortly accepting the Republican party nomination9. Late extracts
of his speech in the Republican convention contain promises to restore law and order and tackle illegal immigration. It's also expected to return to the issue of defense10, after
saying in an interview that if he were elected, America wouldn't necessarily defend every NATO ally that came under attack. James Randall has more. In an interview with The New
York Times, he said unless other members stumped11 up more money for defense spending, then the US might not come to their aid if attacked. I would be absolutely prepared to tell
those countries, he says,congratulations, you will be defending yourselves. He may have had a tricky12 time in recent days amid row over plagiarized13 speeches and party divisions,
but Mr. Trump is expected to stick to his guns, even if they won't always be deployed14 to defend a NATO ally.
