new measures. This war is another type, against a new sort of enemy

:00:39.:00:44.

and it demands a constitutional system that allows us to face this

crisis. Details emerge about a 27-year-old Belgian man who is

:01:23.:01:42.

A very good evening to you from Paris were after two days of

:01:43.:01:48.

darkness, the Eiffel Tower behind me is now lit up once again in the

:01:49.:01:53.

colours of the tricolour, red white and blue. It follows a day where a

:01:54.:01:58.

minute's silence was held not only here in France but right around

:01:59.:02:02.

Europe as well and also announcements by the French

:02:03.:02:06.

authorities of more than 160 macro raids, the detention of 23 people

:02:07.:02:12.

and the gathering of huge arms caches involving rocker launchers, a

:02:13.:02:28.

Kalashnikov rifle, handguns, combat gear and bullet-proof vests. Let us

:02:29.:02:30.

catch up with all the latest developers, this report by our

Europe editor. A minute of silence

:02:33.:02:35.

for those murdered on Friday. Led in Paris by the French

:02:36.:02:39.

president, Ending everywhere with

:02:40.:02:42.

a heartfelt burst of patriotism. At this station in Paris,

:02:43.:03:33.

people told me the moment We French, the attacks were aimed

:03:34.:03:43.

at us, and my generation. TRANSLATION: We never thought that

:03:44.:03:54.

this would happen to us, This is the man investigators

:03:55.:04:03.

believe coordinated the attacks. 27-year-old

:04:04.:04:13.

Abdelhamid Abaaoud. He was born in Brussels

:04:14.:04:23.

and filmed here in Syria, The focus of the investigation is

:04:24.:04:26.

now outside France, with strong Police launched

:04:27.:04:34.

a big operation here today, hunting for the missing eighth

:04:35.:04:42.

gunmen from the Paris attacks. The brother of one

:04:43.:04:46.

of the suicide bombers. They did not find him, but another

:04:47.:04:56.

brother came forward with this We did not think for a moment

:04:57.:04:59.

that our brother was involved. We are thinking of the victims,

:05:00.:05:05.

of the families of the victims. You must understand as well

:05:06.:05:11.

but we have a mother, a family, Meanwhile, in France, two more

:05:12.:05:16.

accomplices have been identified. One of them worked

:05:17.:05:27.

on the 148 bus here in Paris. Overnight, France carried out a

:05:28.:05:32.

series of raids across the country. There could be plans

:05:33.:05:40.

for further attacks. At an extraordinary meeting

:05:41.:05:50.

of the French parliament today, President Hollande and said that

:05:51.:05:52.

France was at war. It is not a question of containing,

:05:53.:05:57.

but of destroying this organisation. The president wants to silence

:05:58.:06:07.

critics who say he is weak. He called for a state

:06:08.:06:12.

of emergency to be extended by three months and for

:06:13.:06:14.

constitutional changes to be made. After

:06:15.:06:21.

a long weekend filled with anguish, it was back to work for Parisiens,

:06:22.:06:24.

but far from back to normal. They are constantly

:06:25.:06:28.

on their smartphones, trying to digest a dizzying stream

:06:29.:06:31.

of rumour and arrests. There are robust statements

:06:32.:06:35.

from the French government, but on the street, people worried

:06:36.:06:38.

that the security of their country You see policemen and soldiers

:06:39.:06:41.

all over central Paris now. But tough political talk of a war

:06:42.:06:49.

on terror makes some Parisians nervous that there could be more

:06:50.:06:56.

violence here at home. So 5000 more police and security

:06:57.:07:14.

officers with more powers. The President is saying that this

:07:15.:07:21.

country is at war with an Islamic State, but the Prime Minister is

:07:22.:07:25.

saying that the jihadist Army were preparing more attacks, not only on

:07:26.:07:31.

France, but in other European capitals as well. Let us get more

:07:32.:07:34.

with our security correspondent. French officials are suggesting that

:07:35.:07:38.

this man, Abdelhamid Abaaoud, might have been the mastermind

:07:39.:07:40.

of the attacks. He is thought to he was

:07:41.:07:42.

behind the attended attack on a It was stopped only when the gunmen

:07:43.:07:54.

was wrestled to the ground by passengers.

:07:55.:07:56.

He is 27 years old, and a Belgian of Moroccan descent, who lived in the

:07:57.:08:01.

He claims to have stopped this police raid in January.

:08:02.:08:08.

He said that he was carrying out an attack, and his two

:08:09.:08:11.

It seems that other people who carried out the attack came

:08:12.:08:21.

One of the attackers, Samy Amimour, came from this building.

:08:22.:08:31.

In 2012, he was put under investigation

:08:32.:08:35.

It emerged that Samy Amimour's father tried to bring him back

:08:36.:08:42.

The family flat was one of those raided overnight.

:08:43.:08:52.

His neighbours had said that they had not seen him since he left.

:08:53.:08:57.

Others involved in the attack thing to be linked to Syria.

:08:58.:09:00.

A Syrian passport, almost certainly fake, was linked to a suicide

:09:01.:09:03.

The fingerprints match a refugee who arrived in Greece.

:09:04.:09:12.

He seems to have made his way across Europe.

:09:13.:09:17.

A leading French terrorism experts said the move of jihadists across

:09:18.:09:19.

Approximately 1000 have been there, they have already come back.

:09:20.:09:29.

They can train there, they can learn how to shoot, they

:09:30.:09:32.

They might be able to make a suicide belt.

:09:33.:09:37.

Basically, you learn the basics of guerilla warfare and terrorism.

:09:38.:09:42.

Today, police race took place in the Molenbeek district where to

:09:43.:09:46.

They were looking for remaining gunmen, but drew a blank.

:09:47.:09:52.

And so, the investigation and manhunt goes on.

:09:53.:10:05.

So, a swathe of police investigations across Europe's

:10:06.:10:11.

porous borders, a big focus on that district of Brussels as well. Let us

:10:12.:10:16.

go there now and get more from my colleague Christian Fraser. An

:10:17.:10:21.

extensive operation here today, which went on for four hours, a lot

:10:22.:10:32.

of police bands in Molenbeek. It was unsuccessful, so tonight the suspect

:10:33.:10:35.

is still on the run and you get the sense of urgency to try and trace

:10:36.:10:41.

him, they are going to apartments he might have been staining, calling on

:10:42.:10:44.

people he might have known. The problem here is there is a code of

:10:45.:10:49.

secrecy and not everyone wants to talk to the authorities. The reason

:10:50.:10:53.

we are here tonight, we are in a central square in Molenbeek, just

:10:54.:11:01.

behind me in this building, that is the family apartment of Salah

:11:02.:11:05.

Abdeslam. His mother is in there and that is where mohamid is staying,

:11:06.:11:10.

comforting his mother. You heard his statement earlier, saying that his

:11:11.:11:16.

mother is grieving for her son and for the relatives of the dead. We

:11:17.:11:24.

are 100 yards from the town hall and Mohammed has worked there. He said

:11:25.:11:27.

he is worried about the stigma that might be attached to the family now

:11:28.:11:32.

and the future of his job. He says he has a good alibi for Friday, one

:11:33.:11:36.

that the police believed, he said he did not know about his brothers and

:11:37.:11:42.

obviously, they are still, although they know he must be caught, they

:11:43.:11:46.

are concerned for his welfare. That is what his mother is saying. She is

:11:47.:11:51.

the mother of two microsomes, one is dead and one is the subject of an

:11:52.:12:01.

international manhunt. -- two sons. Thank you very much. The authorities

:12:02.:12:05.

here in Paris confirmed that the number of dead from Friday's attacks

:12:06.:12:12.

stands at 109. There have been reports that others had died, that

:12:13.:12:18.

is not the case. Nonetheless, more than 40 remain in critical condition

:12:19.:12:25.

-- 129. The majority of the people who died on Friday died in the

:12:26.:12:31.

batter clan concert hall and Lucy Williamson has been speaking to some

:12:32.:12:32.

of those who survived -- adam-macro. Around the corner from the Bataclan

:12:33.:12:41.

today, they remembered them, There were no crowds, no candles

:12:42.:12:43.

to mark this minute's silence. Just a lone survivor sitting with

:12:44.:12:47.

Friday's horrors in his head. Very slow, every three or four

:12:48.:12:50.

seconds they shoot somebody. They verify

:12:51.:13:00.

if the person was alive or not, These images, these stories, are now

:13:01.:13:05.

the collective memory of a nation. There in the different to previous

:13:06.:13:18.

atrocities here because, in these attacks, the target was

:13:19.:13:21.

everyone and the line between Marisha and her friend ran when they

:13:22.:13:23.

heard the gunfire, straight We weren't walking out

:13:24.:13:34.

of that building. Just,

:13:35.:13:42.

you don't survive things like this. All we could hear at that point was

:13:43.:13:44.

a stampede of people running Which could only have been people

:13:45.:13:47.

hitting the floor, But amid the emerging stories

:13:48.:13:52.

of survival and of loss, there are other endings still

:13:53.:13:59.

waiting to be written. Four days on, husbands, friends,

:14:00.:14:01.

daughters all missing As around them,

:14:02.:14:10.

Paris slowly begins to move on. This is where you come

:14:11.:14:15.

when there is nowhere else to go, when a minute's silence is just

:14:16.:14:18.

another minute of waiting for news The attacks in Paris and the wider

:14:19.:14:38.

threat from so-called Islamic State have dominated talks between world

:14:39.:14:44.

leaders in Turkey, a meeting of the G20. David Cameron said the heads of

:14:45.:14:48.

government had agreed a range of measures to share intelligence, to

:14:49.:14:53.

strengthen airline security and to cut off the terrorist access to

:14:54.:14:58.

money. He also held talks with Vladimir Putin who has been taking

:14:59.:15:02.

his own action against Islamic State and other rebel groups in Syria. Our

:15:03.:15:07.

correspondent is there. Not quite smiling

:15:08.:15:10.

for the cameras, but a shared struggle against terrorism has

:15:11.:15:13.

forced these two leaders together. There is no disguising

:15:14.:15:15.

the disagreements. President Putin commenting that

:15:16.:15:20.

UK-Russian relations had not David Cameron acknowledged

:15:21.:15:22.

the big divide between them has been whether President Assad can stay

:15:23.:15:28.

in power in Syria as Russia wants. I hope we can close

:15:29.:15:32.

the gap still further but it will France has launched another wave of

:15:33.:15:38.

air strikes against Isil in Syria. Mr Cameron does not have a

:15:39.:15:45.

agreement from MPs to do the same. How frustrating or even embarrassing

:15:46.:15:50.

is it, while you are asking him to focus on bombing Isil in Syria, you

:15:51.:15:54.

and the UK is unable to do that? There is a strong case for saying

:15:55.:15:59.

that Isil does not stop at the Iraqi I recognise the need to do more to

:16:00.:16:14.

build this argument, to build this case, to take Parliament with me.

:16:15.:16:19.

For now at least, Mr Cameron is relying on others to attack Isil's

:16:20.:16:22.

This is the apparent aftermath of a Russian air strike.

:16:23.:16:25.

The American president said the aim was to shrink Isil's territory to

:16:26.:16:28.

That's one of the challenges of terrorism.

:16:29.:16:37.

It's not their sophistication, or the particular weaponry that

:16:38.:16:41.

they possess, but it is the ideology that they carry with them,

:16:42.:16:44.

Here in Turkey, security has dominated the agenda.

:16:45.:16:50.

Mr Cameron revealed that UK intelligence agencies have foiled

:16:51.:16:55.

seven plots this year, with indications that one was

:16:56.:16:57.

There have been hours of talks at this summit and they could be

:16:58.:17:04.

inching towards a deal, but as world leaders depart, process in Syria.

:17:05.:17:08.

David Cameron says the key to Britain's long-term security is the

:17:09.:17:13.

peace process in Syria, but despite all the talk of compromise, there

:17:14.:17:16.

Our correspondent is also there and a little earlier we heard from him

:17:17.:17:33.

and asked his assessment about what progress he thought had been made so

:17:34.:17:38.

far at the G20. It is very difficult at events like this to distinguish

:17:39.:17:43.

between pure rhetoric and the result with lots of that and any tangible

:17:44.:17:48.

signs of progress. On the rhetoric, everyone has spoken of solidarity

:17:49.:17:54.

with France, the need to confront Islamic State, but we are also seen

:17:55.:17:59.

some practical measures being taken and a lot of talk about the need to

:18:00.:18:05.

deal with the financing of terrorist networks and also to do more to

:18:06.:18:12.

interject the movement of terrorist fighters who pose a threat in the

:18:13.:18:16.

countries of origin, the countries they pass through, the countries

:18:17.:18:20.

they eventually reach. Quite a concerted effort we will see on G20

:18:21.:18:25.

members on the part of G20 members to address those issues. We are seen

:18:26.:18:31.

in small ways, a small convergence of tactical measures on the

:18:32.:18:36.

battlefield in Syria. Vladimir Putin in his press conference earlier said

:18:37.:18:40.

that his military had been in discussion with members of the

:18:41.:18:44.

Syrian opposition who are supported by the West but who had been subject

:18:45.:18:49.

to Russian air strikes and that some kind of agreement had been reached

:18:50.:18:55.

not to have those groups. If that is the case, that is a small sign that

:18:56.:18:59.

the various parties involved in Syria are aligning their interests

:19:00.:19:02.

are little bit more closely than they were before. Paul Adams there.

:19:03.:19:11.

In a week that saw Islamic State attacks in Lebanon, Iraq as well as

:19:12.:19:15.

France, some people are wondering whether the attacks in Paris have

:19:16.:19:21.

overshadowed the impact of the conflict elsewhere. Our

:19:22.:19:23.

correspondent went to Beirut to talk to people there about a suicide

:19:24.:19:27.

bombing that had left 41 people dead. People quickly rallied in

:19:28.:19:34.

support of Paris, in the streets and on social media. The French flag is

:19:35.:19:40.

used in a show of unity. Lebanon had its share of the horror. This is the

:19:41.:19:47.

aftermath of a double suicide bombing by Islamic State that killed

:19:48.:19:51.

at least 40 people, only one day before Paris was hit. But the grief

:19:52.:19:57.

in Beirut did not stop people from sympathising with Paris. I feel it

:19:58.:20:05.

was such a sad thing and we have sent our condolences to everyone. We

:20:06.:20:11.

also feel sad for what happened in Beirut. And also solidarity should

:20:12.:20:18.

be all the same, for here and for there. People are people everywhere.

:20:19.:20:23.

There is a great sense of solidarity with Paris across the Middle East,

:20:24.:20:27.

with a growing concern that the threats posed by Islamic State has

:20:28.:20:31.

gone beyond the borders of the region. There is also the sense of

:20:32.:20:35.

here, that Arabs and Muslim Brotherhood painted with the same

:20:36.:20:41.

brush and here in Lebanon, growing frustration with the reaction to

:20:42.:20:45.

death in Europe differently to death in the Middle East. Campaigns

:20:46.:20:51.

calling for some -- support for their own Lawsons. When someone dies

:20:52.:21:02.

in Syria, Lebanon, Iraq, in this region, we are covered as numbers.

:21:03.:21:10.

Our lives are not valued and covered as individuals with lives and who we

:21:11.:21:15.

are and what we do. We are just numbers, casualties of war. France

:21:16.:21:21.

has stepped up its attack on Islamic State. Russians have shown

:21:22.:21:27.

solidarity with France, the lit candles in an area that has been

:21:28.:21:31.

living under daily government but Bartman for months. As they

:21:32.:21:36.

condemned the Paris attack at this protest, they raised the question

:21:37.:21:39.

about solidarity with death in Syria. The French authorities have

:21:40.:21:50.

identified one of the suicide bombers who blew himself up at the

:21:51.:21:58.

stadium on Friday night. He blew himself up just before a friendly

:21:59.:22:04.

between France and Germany. That was attended by the French President.

:22:05.:22:11.

The Greek authorities say that he was 25 years old and originally from

:22:12.:22:18.

the north west of Syria. He travelled to a Greek island where he

:22:19.:22:24.

was processed in October and then travelled on to Western Europe

:22:25.:22:31.

through Serbia. We got this report from our correspondent. This is the

:22:32.:22:37.

point at which Ahmad Al Mohammad came ashore on the 3rd of October,

:22:38.:22:42.

just as these people are doing now. I have spoken to someone who

:22:43.:22:47.

remembers processing him that day in early October. He said he arrived on

:22:48.:22:53.

an inflatable dinghy with about 70 other people from Syria and

:22:54.:22:56.

interestingly, he told me that right from the beginning, he felt that

:22:57.:22:59.

something was not right about him. He seemed somehow separate from the

:23:00.:23:04.

rest and he told me that if there had been an intelligence officer

:23:05.:23:09.

here, he would have highlighted his concerns, but they simply do not

:23:10.:23:13.

have the capacity here on this tiny island to check everyone who comes

:23:14.:23:17.

in. They have had thousands and thousands every month. We should

:23:18.:23:22.

emphasise that most of the attackers in Paris appear to be of French or

:23:23.:23:29.

European nationality, this is one person who appears to be a Syrian

:23:30.:23:35.

refugee, but in the words of a German politician, this changes

:23:36.:23:39.

everything. What is happening now is the news that one of the Paris

:23:40.:23:43.

attackers appears to have smuggled themselves into Europe and that is

:23:44.:23:49.

going to make an already vexed and complex problem in Europe that much

:23:50.:23:56.

more contentious. Precisely that point will feed into the populace

:23:57.:23:59.

more right wing parties around Europe calling for an end to that

:24:00.:24:07.

influx of refugees and migrants from Syria, Afghanistan and elsewhere. It

:24:08.:24:11.

is interesting that Francois Hollande in the past 48 hours has

:24:12.:24:13.

been holding talks with the leaders of all political parties here in

:24:14.:24:21.

France, including the leader of the most right wing party. She only has

:24:22.:24:25.

two deputies in the assembly but she has already come out and said that

:24:26.:24:30.

French -- Frist should not accept any more migrants and should not be

:24:31.:24:34.

sending them to villages, towns and cities around the country until the

:24:35.:24:39.

situation had been cleared up. The issue of the processing of

:24:40.:24:45.

migrants, the issue of the free travel arrangement, for example, is

:24:46.:24:48.

being discussed with much more scrutiny than it has before the

:24:49.:24:52.

attacks on Friday, which left 100 and to villages, towns and cities

:24:53.:24:54.

around the country until the situation had been cleared up. The

:24:55.:24:57.

issue of the processing of migrants, the issue of the free travel

:24:58.:24:59.

arrangement, for example, is being discussed with much more scrutiny

:25:00.:25:01.

than it has before the attacks on Friday, which left the events today

:25:02.:25:04.

over the last 12 hours. They showed a lot of strength, our

:25:05.:25:26.

lot of determination, very giving. -- she showed.

:25:27.:25:56.

He was the brightest person in the world.

:25:57.:26:13.

By the end of the week it will be colder and the Rugby snow in the

:26:14.:26:16.

forecast but before
