Police in France and Belgium carry out dozens of raids after Friday's

terrorist attacks in Paris. French police search nearly 170 premises

More than 20 people have been arrested.

The prime suspect is Salah Abdeslam, who is still on the run

after being stopped, then let go by French police on Saturday.

Across Europe, thousands fall silent for two minutes to remember

We'll have the latest from Paris and Brussels.

Here, David Cameron announces more spending to boost

Nearly 2,000 intelligence officers will be taken on,

and there'll be new measures to cut off terrorist supplies of money.

Also this lunchtime - a murder investigation is launched

after a 16-year-old boy is shot dead in Liverpool.

Paying tribute to the victims of Paris, London show their solidarity

for the people of France. And the teenagers arrested after a policeman

was stabbed in the stomach in Tower Hamlets.

French police carried out 168 raids across France overnight

and dozens of people have been placed under house arrest.

They say they have seized an arsenal of weapons including a rocket

launcher and arrested 20 people. It is all part of an international

manhunt now under way for members and accomplices of the Islamist

terror group that carried out the attacks in Paris on Friday night,

attacked which left 129 people dead, and injured hundreds more, many

critically. Here in Paris and across France and across Europe, people

fell silent today to remember the dead.

More than 160 police raids overnight and this morning in France. At least

24 people arrested, and a stash of weapons including rocket launchers

found. The French government says nothing is being left to chance.

TRANSLATION: This is just the beginning. These actions will

continue. The reply of the Republic will be redoubled and total. Anyone

who hurts the Republic will not escape. Neither will those who help

them or those who have brainwashed them. And we now know more about

some of the men behind the attacks. Samy Amimour, 28, born in a suburb

of Paris. He faced charges for trying to join an extremist group in

Yemen in 2012. And there was already an international arrest warrant in

place for him before the attacks. The chief prosecutor in Paris has

named one of his accomplices as Ahmad Al Mohammad. A passport with

his name was found close to the Stade de France, where one of the

attackers blew himself up. It's believed he arrived in Europe via

Greece just last month. For Parisians, the shock and pain is

still raw. It is hard to get your life back to normal when so many

people were massacred in your neighbourhood on a Friday night.

people were massacred in your the immediate aftermath of the

attack, Paris is obviously anything but normal. It is a city on edge and

grieving. Pockets of the city have become shrines, but with time people

will be drinking in these very restaurants and bars that were

targeted, because that's what Paris wants. Along with the fear, there is

that sense of defiance. Life has got to go on. Of course, many went back

to work in Paris today, a commute passed the army on the street. But

at noon, France stopped. For a moment, Paris needed no words. In

Brussels there is a huge police operation under way as the manhunt

continues, but one of the key suspects after the Paris attacks,

26-year-old Salah Abdeslam, and Christian Fraser, my colleague, is

in the Molenbeek district of Brussels. It is known as a hotbed of

Islamist extremism there, it has had links in the past two terror plots.

What is going on right now? Salah Abdeslam is the main target and the

surge is focused on this district called Molenbeek, home to a large

number of Muslims, some of whom can trace their roots to Morocco and

Algeria, but was also home to a number of French men involved in

Friday night's attacks. The international arrest warrant for

Salah Abdeslam says he is a highly dangerous individual and you sense

the longer he is free, the more the anxiety will grow. He has already

slipped through their fingers once and now there are frantic efforts to

retrace him. As long as Salah Abdeslam is free,

another attack is a serious concern. The investigation has been

centred throughout the weekend on this notorious Brussels district of

Molenbeek. A huge area of the city was sealed off as a special police

unit moved in. TRANSLATION: There was a lot of

action, I saw the police rushing in and putting barriers in place. Then

they told everyone to get back and stay inside. There were earlier

reports of gunfire and an explosion. One suspect was removed from an

apartment but another was holed up inside, refusing to come out. Salah

Abdeslam was living in Belgium and he is the key suspect. He was linked

to a VW Polo, a car that was rented in Belgium and abandoned on Friday

night near the Bataclan Theatre. The team escaped in a Seat. In a

checkpoint on the northern border, Salah Abdeslam turned up with two

other people. He was waved on, having produced French ID. Only

later did they realise his brother, Brahim, was the man who blew himself

up on Rue du Faubourg du Temple. It is now an international manhunt. We

are knowing there are many people crossing all the time from one city

to another. In the past 12 years Molenbeek has been linked to the

train bombings, the attack in Brussels, a supermarket attack in

Paris the week of the Charlie Hebdo attacks, and in August a failed

attack on a high-speed attacks, and in August a failed

been arrested in Brussels this weekend. Police have Salah

Abdeslam's brother Mohammed. It seems there is a culture of secrecy

that poses a risk not only to Belgium but to Europe as a whole

here. More and more details emerging all

the time about the men responsible for these attacks in Paris, and in

particular for the man who may have been the mastermind.

Yes, one breaking line of the news is that Mohammed has been released

in the last few minutes, Salah Abdeslam's brother, without charge.

and today there was silence in many of them young people who lost

their lives on Friday night here. In Paris, President Hollande observed

the silence at Sorbonne University, and in cafes and bars and

restaurants in Paris people gathered to remember the dead.

For a city which Greaves, a continent paused. Many people in

many countries standing for one minute in solidarity with the people

of Paris. As the silence ended, the crowd in

Paris started to sing France's national anthem. Hesitantly at

first, and then with gathering force. In silence and in song, a

message was being sent of communities which have come

together, initially in horror and now in defiance. The England

football squad paused in their training for a friendly match with

France tomorrow at Wembley Stadium. Many others did likewise, political

leaders and people of all faiths and all ages standing in silence. This

was a French school in south London. Children, many of whom are too young

to understand, but then, who can? Nicholas Witchell, BBC News.

The biggest loss of life on Friday was at the Bataclan theatre.

Graham Satchell has been speaking to one man who was in the venue

You may find some of his interview disturbing.

Samuel doesn't know how he survived Friday night.

He is a huge music fan - bought his ticket months ago.

I was jumping because I was happy to see them.

This is the moment Islamist terrorists opened fire.

I heard firecrackers behind me, and one or two or three men, they

speak French, had some weapons and tried to kill people all around me.

They tell people in the crowd to not move or they will shoot.

If I had moved, I would have been killed.

I don't know why I'm still alive today.

As Samuel lay trapped on the floor, others managed to escape.

This woman clinging perilously to a window ledge.

Samuel thinks he may have been spared

because he was partially covered by a woman who had been injured.

I don't know if she is living now or if she is dead.

Outside the Bataclan, French police are desperately trying to get in,

We heard a lot of noise and I saw a lot of policemen with

protections, telling, "You can go now," and I looked all around me

The full horrors of what happened on Friday night

Samuel has struggled to sleep, struggled to understand.

I want equality between women and men.

I don't know why people think different.

89 people were killed at the Bataclan.

An atrocity that has changed Samuel, that has changed France.

This is a city still very much on edge. The French Prime Minister has

warned French people to brace themselves for further terrorist

attacks. That is the latest from Paris. Ben Brown Bear, and we will

have more from him later in the programme.

France has overnight hit back against so-called Islamic State,

launching air strikes against their stronghold

It said 20 bombs were dropped in the raid.

It came as world leaders gathered for the G20 summit in Turkey to

Number 10 described as "constructive and measured" talks about how to

Our World Affairs Correspondent Paul Adams reports.

France is hitting back. War planes taking off last night to bomb

targets in Raqqa, headquarters of so-called Islamic State. The French

started bombing Syria two months ago, but this was their biggest rate

so far, a clear response to the attacks in Paris which President

Hollande described as an act of war. At the G 20s at the French

foreign minister told me they had no choice. Is there a danger this might

look like an act of revenge? TRANSLATION: We cannot simply let

ourselves be attacked so brutally. You saw what happened in Paris. We

have an active response. The urgent need to confront Islamic State is

now forging alliances of necessity. The last G20 gathering and President

Putin was seen by many as a pariah. In Turkey he is much in demand. Our

bilateral relations are not in great shape, he told the Prime Minister,

but we can get things done. Mr Cameron thinks so as well, Russia

and the West not quite so polarised. The gap has been enormous between

those of us who believe Assad should go immediately and those like

President Putin who continue to support him. I think it has been

reduced and these talks in Vienna between foreign ministers, bringing

together everybody, I hope can close the gap further, but it will need

compromise on both sides. Was that in the air yesterday when Mr Putin

and Barack Obama huddled for over half an hour? Hard to say, but there

are assigned Russia is now focusing more its military might against

Islamic State. The carnage of Paris appears to have galvanised the

leaders here. Syria's Civil War lies at the heart of the migrant crisis

and the wave of terrorism in France, Egypt, Tunisia, Lebanon and

Turkey. Leaders seem willing to seize the moment, but there are

still more reasons to predict failure than success.

Norman Smith is in Downing Street. Where do these events in Paris leave

the debate here with UK air strikes against IS in Syria? The Prime

Minister remains convinced we should be bombing IS in Syria. It makes no

sense we are attacking them in Iraq, but not in their heartland in Syria,

but he is not going to risk that Commons vote now because he is not

sure he could win it. However, there is a potential key to unlock that

Parliamentary opposition and it lies in the very unlikely hands of

President Putin. If view in government circles is that if they

can strike a deal with President Putin over Syria, over the future of

President Assad, over a confronting Islamic State, that would provide a

diplomatic plan which would leave the concerns of many MPs,

particularly on the Labour side where they say they will not support

air strikes unless there is a diplomatic strategy. Today David

Cameron and President Putin when they met were sounding much more

conciliatory. If Mr Cameron can return to the Commons and say to

MPs, I have the diplomatic strategy, then that could pave the way for a

second Commons vote on the UK joining in the air strikes against

IS in Syria. Merseyside police have launched

a murder investigation after a 16-year-old boy was shot

in Liverpool. He was found on a canal towpath

last night and died in hospital. Police say they're still trying to

establish the motive On a canalside in a quiet, modern,

residential area of Liverpool detectives set to work this morning

at a murder scene. It was just after 11 o'clock last

night when a local resident found a 16-year-old boy badly injured

on the tow path here. He was taken to hospital

but died a short while later Police are now focusing on a

motive and finding those involved. Police are expected to give more

details about what happened here later this afternoon, but

BBC Radio Merseyside has been told that two gangs had arranged to have

a fight down here late last night. It appears somebody turned up

to that fight with a gun. Detectives are also going

from door to door in the area, asking residents if they saw or

heard anything last night. It is a really nice neighbourhood

and everyone is close. No problems with gangs

or anything like that? No, never seen nothing like that,

no gangs, no hoodies or bikes or Whatever happened here last night

appears to be out of the ordinary, but it has left a 16-year-old boy

dead in shocking circumstances. Two men

from Coventry have been found not guilty of murdering an 18-year-old

woman who disappeared in 1991. Nicola Payne, who had

a seven month old son, was last seen Nigel Barwell and Thomas O'Reilly

were arrested in 2013. Our correspondent, Phil Mackie is

at Birmingham Crown Court. Not guilty verdicts, what happened

in court? The jury had been deliberating for barely two days

after a month's long trial. They gave unanimous verdict a couple of

hours ago. Nigel Barwell and Thomas O'Reilly have been released and have

only just left court. Members of their family empathised with Nicola

Payne's family. Both of those men were originally arrested a couple of

days after Nicola Payne's disappearance and they were charged

with her murder earlier this year. The 18-year-old, who had a 7

-month-old son, went for a short walk from her boyfriend's has to her

parent's house in December, 1991. She disappeared in the fog and was

never seen alive again. Contrasting emotions as the verdicts were read

out. Nigel Barwell punched the air and thanked the jury and Thomas

O'Reilly stared ahead. Nigel, Nicola's eldest brother, she had

four, said they had praised the peas, but what they want more than

anything was to finally late Nicola to rest and find out what happened

to her and were remains are. Phil Mackie.

Flooding is causing disruption to roads and railway lines

across parts of northern England, Scotland and Wales.

Cumbria and West and North Yorkshire are the worst affected areas

and train services have been disrupted in mid and north Wales.

42 flood warnings remain in place across Britain.

The Indian actor Saeed Jaffrey has died at the age of 86.

In a career spanning more than half a century, Jaffrey starred in dozens

of Bollywood films and also played high-profile roles in international

films and TV dramas, including A Passage To India and Gandhi.

Time for a look at the weather. Here's John Hammond

The flood situation might be easing at the moment, but there is more

heavy rain coming to those prone areas of England in the next few

days. The potential for damaging gusts across the southern half of

the UK tomorrow night as well. Storm Barney is on its way. To end the

week a complete transformation. It will be a winter wonderland by the

next weekend and that could have its impact as well. Pretty cold at the

moment with very strong winds across the far north-west with gusts of

60-70 miles an hour. This is three o'clock this afternoon. There is

plenty of fine weather across many areas. Some respite from the

persistent rain across Cumbria and Wiltshire. A fine afternoon in

central and eastern parts of England and pretty mild again. But this is a

sign of things to come and rain comes in and it turns thoroughly wet

across the southern half of the UK overnight tonight. We think the

persistent rain will stay to the south of Cumbria. It is pretty wet

in the North of Scotland and still windy. Close to freezing in some

northern areas. Relatively mild in the south. The next area of low

pressure has just been named Barney because it has the potential to give

some damage and disruption through tomorrow night. It starts off

relatively quiet tomorrow morning. Some sunshine in eastern areas. Then

rain sweeps in from the South West to engulf most of England and Wales,

Northern Ireland and the southern half of Scotland later on. It

brightens up behind the rain and it is very mild. 16 or 17 degrees. But

all eyes on Barney tomorrow night. The potential for 70-80 miles an

hour gusts up the English Channel in the South West and even inland we

could see 70 mile an hour gusts and that is enough to cause trees to

come down and cause significant disruption. Into Wednesday and

Barney clears away and another batch of wet weather sweeps in, affecting

northern areas. Brighter and drier further south. All the latest

features and analysis and weather warnings can be found on the BBC

French police have carried out multiple raids across the country

overnight seizing what they have described as an arsenal of weapons

and arresting more than 20 people. Ben Brown is in Paris.

Really intense police activity both in France and in Belgium as that

manhunt continues in the wake of the attacks in Paris. But it has also

been a day when France and indeed Europe stood still and fell silent

where you are, but I will leave you now with some of the images of that
