French President Emmanuel Macron wants to extend the state of emergency imposed after the Paris attacks in November 2015, his office has said.

Parliament is set to vote on leaving the state of emergency in place until November 1, the Elysee Palace said after a meeting of the security cabinet.

In addition, a new anti-terrorism law is being considered.

Macron also wants to create a coordination centre for the fight against terrorism, which will be directly under the command of the government.

The state of emergency, which among other powers allows authorities to search properties or issue a house arrest without judicial oversight, is due to elapse in France on July 15.

Islamist terrorists killed 130 people in the November 2015 Paris attacks and parliament has extended the state of emergency several times.

The latest renewal will be limited to the time needed for security forces to complete their work, Prime Minister Edouard Philippe announced.
