dawn raid in the suburb of Saint Eight people were arrested. French | :00:32. | :00:45. | |
officials confirmed the suspected mastermind and accomplice were not | :00:46. | :00:53. | |
among those detained. The identity of the people who were arrested are | :00:54. | :00:59. | |
not absolutely certain. But Abaaoud and Abdeslam are not part of the | :01:00. | :01:05. | |
people who have been arrested. More than 1000 people have taken part in | :01:06. | :01:10. | |
a district of Brussels where one of the key suspects had lived. | :01:11. | :01:19. | |
Including the brother and cousin of Sala Abdeslam, one of the wanted men | :01:20. | :01:24. | |
who stepped out onto the balcony of their home to mourn the victims. | :01:25. | :01:46. | |
Hello and welcome to Paris. After a day of drama and more bloodshed. A | :01:47. | :01:53. | |
raid by police this morning just before dawn left to suspected | :01:54. | :01:58. | |
terrorists dead and eight people under arrest. It's not clear though, | :01:59. | :02:03. | |
if France's most wanted man, the ringleader who was believed to have | :02:04. | :02:07. | |
organised last Friday's atrocities, was among the dead. He certainly | :02:08. | :02:12. | |
wasn't detained. Let's bring you the latest. The French authorities are | :02:13. | :02:18. | |
saying they believe today's raid may have thwarted another major attack, | :02:19. | :02:22. | |
this time in Paris's financial district. This morning's predawn | :02:23. | :02:29. | |
raid took place about 12 kilometres north of where I am standing, in the | :02:30. | :02:34. | |
suburb of Saint Denis, which is very close to the stat to France, which | :02:35. | :02:39. | |
was targeted by the militants on Friday, killed dozens of people. The | :02:40. | :02:50. | |
area has a high proportion of people from ethnic minorities. Heavily | :02:51. | :02:56. | |
armed police were deployed, the one of the main shopping streets. The | :02:57. | :03:00. | |
actual apartment which was the target of their operation was on a | :03:01. | :03:07. | |
side street. In a moment we will hear from the Paris prosecutor but | :03:08. | :03:13. | |
before we listen to him, it must be pointed out that France's most | :03:14. | :03:19. | |
wanted man, Abaaoud, the man they believed had been in Syria, it's not | :03:20. | :03:25. | |
clear if he is among the two dead suspected terrorists, killed in this | :03:26. | :03:30. | |
morning's raid. The female suspected terrorist charged police with a | :03:31. | :03:34. | |
suicide vest before blowing herself up, it's reported. First, this | :03:35. | :03:39. | |
report by Lucy Williamson. In the darkened streets | :03:40. | :03:42. | |
of this northern suburb, France is The target, | :03:43. | :03:48. | |
the country's most wanted man, Abdelhamid Abaaoud, alleged | :03:49. | :03:55. | |
mastermind of Friday's attacks. If ever a raid was personal, | :03:56. | :04:00. | |
this was it. Residents were pulled from buildings | :04:01. | :04:05. | |
in their nightclothes. The scale and threat of this | :04:06. | :04:08. | |
operation quickly becoming clear. I tried to protect myself, | :04:09. | :04:13. | |
holding my baby tight. They were explosions, | :04:14. | :04:15. | |
we felt the building shake, there were guys upstairs screaming, | :04:16. | :04:18. | |
"shoot, shoot". By first light as special forces | :04:19. | :04:23. | |
carried out their assault, A woman inside the building had | :04:24. | :04:25. | |
detonated her suicide vest. I heard gunfire, it went crazy, | :04:26. | :04:34. | |
gunshots, explosions, here, there, It went on for ages, | :04:35. | :04:40. | |
people were running everywhere. I didn't see anything terrible but I | :04:41. | :04:45. | |
heard gunshots, snipers were firing, taking careful aim. There was a huge | :04:46. | :04:49. | |
wave of bullets. By eight o'clock, | :04:50. | :04:53. | |
with two suspects dead in the target Dozens of soldiers, brought | :04:54. | :05:00. | |
in to help secure the streets. This dawn raid has turned | :05:01. | :05:06. | |
into a major operation. Truckloads of soldiers have been | :05:07. | :05:14. | |
brought in after hours It's a sign | :05:15. | :05:17. | |
of just how dangerous the hunt is Without warning, riot police | :05:18. | :05:22. | |
break through their cordon, fanning It's nothing, it's over quickly, | :05:23. | :05:28. | |
but the jitteriness remains. Out of sight in an empty courtyard, | :05:29. | :05:38. | |
the rewards of this assault are In all, seven people were arrested | :05:39. | :05:44. | |
this morning, including this man. Handcuffed, under heavy guard, | :05:45. | :05:53. | |
his face uncovered. Police have been hunting one | :05:54. | :05:57. | |
of Friday's attackers. In his wake, | :05:58. | :06:00. | |
clutching their children, terrified, Behind them at the building | :06:01. | :06:06. | |
entrance, forces begin to pile in. Above them, | :06:07. | :06:16. | |
residents slowly absorbed the news. The attacks here last week targeted | :06:17. | :06:24. | |
everyone, but just as hard for France to stomach is that anyone | :06:25. | :06:27. | |
can be an attacker too. In the past hour, the executed has | :06:28. | :06:45. | |
said that the raid had eliminated the team of suspected jihad ease | :06:46. | :06:51. | |
behind Friday's attack and also said they had been planning new attacks | :06:52. | :06:59. | |
here in the capital. -- the team of suspected jihad thes. The operation | :07:00. | :07:05. | |
was successful in that three men were arrested, one of them was | :07:06. | :07:12. | |
injured, the police arrested them and identification is being done at | :07:13. | :07:17. | |
the moment. I cannot have you any element regarding these people at | :07:18. | :07:22. | |
the moment. There was also an explosion which suggested there was | :07:23. | :07:26. | |
a kamikaze operation, a body full of impact was found in the rubble of | :07:27. | :07:31. | |
the building. At this stage it's not possible to identify this person who | :07:32. | :07:38. | |
did the state of the body. We have been given to an explosion following | :07:39. | :07:45. | |
the action of a woman who detonated an explosive belt, this will have to | :07:46. | :07:49. | |
be checked still considering the state of the bodies and the shreds | :07:50. | :07:56. | |
of bodies, so this demands serious investigation and it's not easy. | :07:57. | :08:01. | |
Would we have seen in the building makes it extremely difficult. I am | :08:02. | :08:08. | |
not able to give you precise information about the identity of | :08:09. | :08:11. | |
these people who have died, except there are at least two people dead, | :08:12. | :08:16. | |
but it will take longer than expected because the building may | :08:17. | :08:24. | |
collapse, so we have the support some of the ball to allow the | :08:25. | :08:28. | |
enquiry team to work in safety. -- some of the wall. We found two men, | :08:29. | :08:35. | |
one of them in the flat, one of them injured, they were immediately | :08:36. | :08:43. | |
arrested. Other operations continue in another flat in Saint Denis, at | :08:44. | :08:49. | |
the home of a man who was in touch with the commando and may have given | :08:50. | :08:57. | |
accommodation. This flat was empty but I -- I suspect was arrested in | :08:58. | :09:07. | |
the street near the flat where the terrorists have found refuge | :09:08. | :09:11. | |
together with a woman. The search in the flat has not brought any weapon | :09:12. | :09:22. | |
or explosive forward so far. Another was also injured in the road has | :09:23. | :09:29. | |
also been arrested. In total, eight people have been arrested, seven men | :09:30. | :09:33. | |
and one woman are currently being interrogated. The identity of the | :09:34. | :09:45. | |
four who were arrested are not certain, but Abaaoud and Abdeslam | :09:46. | :09:47. | |
are not part of the people who have been arrested. The investigation | :09:48. | :09:54. | |
will continue to identify those who were killed, those who are arrested | :09:55. | :09:57. | |
and all those who make have been implicated in one way or another in | :09:58. | :10:03. | |
this attack, either in France or in Syria. | :10:04. | :10:11. | |
It may last for days, people have been coming here to lay flowers and | :10:12. | :10:21. | |
candles -- in the last four base. People have said yes, they hoped | :10:22. | :10:24. | |
they could feel more relieved that they were worried about what might | :10:25. | :10:28. | |
come in the future, especially as they now understood and believed | :10:29. | :10:32. | |
President Hollande that this country was now at war with Isla make state, | :10:33. | :10:39. | |
or Daesh, as he described it. -- Islamic State. Let's speak to a | :10:40. | :10:46. | |
Paris journalist who knows the Saint Denis area well and the other | :10:47. | :10:49. | |
ghettos, as some have described them, where a lot of North African | :10:50. | :10:54. | |
immigrants live. What is your immediate response to today, it laid | :10:55. | :10:58. | |
Paris any safer if Abaaoud has been killed? Many questions need to be | :10:59. | :11:06. | |
answered, we don't have the identities of the terrorists yet, it | :11:07. | :11:10. | |
maybe they are part of a larger network in the rest of France, and | :11:11. | :11:16. | |
it's worrying that this guy was supposed to be in Syria and was | :11:17. | :11:19. | |
basically hiding in plain sight under the nose of the Paris police | :11:20. | :11:24. | |
forces. This raises a lot of questions. The fact he may be | :11:25. | :11:28. | |
killed, maybe it makes the city say just for now but it doesn't mean the | :11:29. | :11:33. | |
terrorist threat is gone. There are many other suburbs like Saint Denis. | :11:34. | :11:38. | |
Where does the radicalisation take place? There are two things, you | :11:39. | :11:45. | |
have these huge suburbs, not only in Paris but in other large cities of | :11:46. | :11:49. | |
the country, there are about 20 million people living in them, these | :11:50. | :11:53. | |
are not serenade bad neighbourhoods but there are some very bad | :11:54. | :11:57. | |
neighbourhoods, much worse than you would encounter in the UK. 'S is not | :11:58. | :12:06. | |
even particularly bad, it's an old city, it's well-connected to the | :12:07. | :12:10. | |
city -- Saint Denis is not even particularly bad. But there are | :12:11. | :12:15. | |
places with no post office, no police, they feel disconnected with | :12:16. | :12:21. | |
the country, and these areas are prone to radicalisation because | :12:22. | :12:24. | |
sometimes the mosques or the churches, in this case the mosque, | :12:25. | :12:28. | |
they are the only one who provide a social network. What about the | :12:29. | :12:34. | |
prison system? That's also an important problem lot of these | :12:35. | :12:38. | |
radicalised young people come in as petty thieves or drug dealers, | :12:39. | :12:46. | |
stealing a car, they get out of the prison as radical potential | :12:47. | :12:50. | |
terrorists because the situation in these prisons are horrible, most of | :12:51. | :12:54. | |
them date from the 19th century, France has been convicted many times | :12:55. | :12:58. | |
the European Court of Human Rights for their inhumane conditions so | :12:59. | :13:02. | |
this is a perfect situation the newly young people and radicalise | :13:03. | :13:08. | |
them and that's the real problem. We have seen all the terrorists | :13:09. | :13:12. | |
involved and also with Charlie Hebdo, they all went to prison and | :13:13. | :13:17. | |
came out as radicalised terrorists. How much will the next and it's a | :13:18. | :13:22. | |
double emergency help the authorities and what is the | :13:23. | :13:28. | |
counter-productive side? I am critical of this because it | :13:29. | :13:31. | |
basically says we're going to put democracy on hold for three months, | :13:32. | :13:36. | |
who says it will not be extended again and again? It's worrying | :13:37. | :13:42. | |
because the French president and the French government already have all | :13:43. | :13:49. | |
the stuff they need to attack terrorists, for instance what | :13:50. | :13:51. | |
happened the night, they could have done that without a state of | :13:52. | :13:55. | |
emergency from a legal point of view. So the state of emergency is | :13:56. | :13:59. | |
just to show the French people, we are at war, we are doing something, | :14:00. | :14:05. | |
I am the leader, you can trust me and let me do this. In three weeks | :14:06. | :14:12. | |
from now, there are regional elections, very important one, | :14:13. | :14:15. | |
Hollande is doing very badly in the polls, the leader of the National | :14:16. | :14:22. | |
front is properly going to win so what Hollande announced on Monday is | :14:23. | :14:29. | |
his way to allure boaters from the right to him. His critics will say | :14:30. | :14:35. | |
he is in charge of intelligence agencies that have failed. Is that | :14:36. | :14:42. | |
fair? It's too early to judge. If you see the terrorists who was the | :14:43. | :14:48. | |
brain behind these attacks was hiding in Paris, he was supposed to | :14:49. | :14:51. | |
be in Syria, it shows there is a real problem. At the heart of the | :14:52. | :14:57. | |
problem is the exchange of information between intelligence | :14:58. | :14:59. | |
services and the analysis of the data because a lot of people are | :15:00. | :15:05. | |
under severe lives in France alone, 11,000 people are understood | :15:06. | :15:09. | |
available, but the problem is you can't check all this data because | :15:10. | :15:16. | |
there are not enough people. You can put thousands of literary personnel | :15:17. | :15:19. | |
on the streets but as long as you intelligence services don't work | :15:20. | :15:22. | |
properly we will continue to have these attacks. Let's go to the UK | :15:23. | :15:29. | |
now and speak to a former counterterrorist detective, who is | :15:30. | :15:36. | |
now a lecturer at Liverpool John Moores University. We are still not | :15:37. | :15:41. | |
clear about the identity of two of the suspects killed today but in the | :15:42. | :15:45. | |
short term, has Paris acted swiftly enough to get on top of this problem | :15:46. | :15:52. | |
in the immediate short-term? I think this has been a major move for the | :15:53. | :15:57. | |
better and if it is confirmed that Abaaoud has been captured, | :15:58. | :16:02. | |
especially alive, this has been quite a coup, and it will certainly | :16:03. | :16:07. | |
reduce the capability of Islamic State in the short-term, because you | :16:08. | :16:14. | |
look at how cells operate, you still beat some organisation and I think | :16:15. | :16:18. | |
the arrests in Belgium and France will have had some effect. If | :16:19. | :16:35. | |
I briefly lost communication there. We know that the two hasn't been | :16:36. | :16:45. | |
captured, what is unclear is if he may be one of the dead terrorists -- | :16:46. | :16:50. | |
we know that Abaaoud hasn't been captured. When it comes to the | :16:51. | :16:59. | |
surveillance, though, is this really another wake-up call for all | :17:00. | :17:03. | |
European countries to be far more amateur night, come together much | :17:04. | :17:07. | |
more with sharing intelligence? I think so. On the policing side, | :17:08. | :17:12. | |
because you have the security services and the police, there is a | :17:13. | :17:16. | |
greater degree of sharing amongst policing agencies and through | :17:17. | :17:22. | |
agencies like the EU, it is a sticking point when we were | :17:23. | :17:29. | |
discussing the Treaty of Lisbon in 2009 over the sharing of | :17:30. | :17:33. | |
intelligence services, maybe this could be one way forward, an | :17:34. | :17:38. | |
increase in sharing this. We are looking at a group that is a truly | :17:39. | :17:41. | |
international threat, you look at the actions they have done over the | :17:42. | :17:46. | |
last 12 months. So it needs that international response. So the | :17:47. | :17:51. | |
security services and the police should now really look to share this | :17:52. | :17:58. | |
information amongst each other. Russia is involved in this. Even | :17:59. | :18:03. | |
looking to sharing information with the FSB and vice versa. | :18:04. | :18:15. | |
Thank you very much indeed. There is a very strong Belgian connection | :18:16. | :18:24. | |
here as we have seen. The mastermind is a Belgian national and it does | :18:25. | :18:29. | |
seem as if these attacks last Friday were planned in Syria, the teams | :18:30. | :18:35. | |
were then put together through Belgium and then executed here in | :18:36. | :18:39. | |
Paris with the help of compasses here in France as well. -- | :18:40. | :18:49. | |
compasses. The Brussels district of Molenbeek is linked particularly | :18:50. | :18:52. | |
with Friday's attacks and today there has been a vigil in memory of | :18:53. | :18:57. | |
those who lost their lives on Friday. This is the central square | :18:58. | :19:03. | |
in Molenbeek, you will be able to see that hundreds have come here | :19:04. | :19:06. | |
tonight to lay candles. The positioning thing along the word | :19:07. | :19:17. | |
Molenbeek. And the 00 over here has a peace sign, or perhaps the Eiffel | :19:18. | :19:21. | |
Tower, Finley how you want to read it. Lots of young people as well, | :19:22. | :19:26. | |
we're that the mayor in this square this evening, lots of people | :19:27. | :19:31. | |
standing in solidarity with the victims in Paris. Interestingly, | :19:32. | :19:37. | |
this is also a square just in front of the apartment of the Abdeslam | :19:38. | :19:43. | |
family, you will see candles shining on the balcony. A few minutes ago, | :19:44. | :19:51. | |
Mohammed Abdeslam, who is the brother of the man who is still on | :19:52. | :19:54. | |
the run, came out to lay candles, their family are still in shock. | :19:55. | :20:01. | |
Mohammed asked yesterday for his brother to give yourself up. This is | :20:02. | :20:09. | |
an effort by the community to show there is solidarity, remember there | :20:10. | :20:14. | |
are three attackers from here, there is now an international manhunt and | :20:15. | :20:24. | |
the secure the's office has told me that the manhunt is ongoing. | :20:25. | :20:36. | |
Hazard-macro said the aim of the raids was to | :20:37. | :20:41. | |
these actions confirm again that we are at war. The war against | :20:42. | :20:53. | |
terrorism which itself has decided to launch war against us. The | :20:54. | :21:02. | |
jihadist organisation of ISIL, it has an army, financial sources, | :21:03. | :21:13. | |
oil, resources and it occupies a territory, it has accomplices in | :21:14. | :21:26. | |
Europe and in our own country. ISIL has committed massacres and wants to | :21:27. | :21:31. | |
commit murders here and it has done so. At least 129 people were | :21:32. | :21:41. | |
killed, lost their lives on the night of the 13th of November. Our | :21:42. | :21:46. | |
thoughts are with them, with these men and women who have been cowardly | :21:47. | :21:53. | |
assassinated, we're thinking about their families, who have been thrown | :21:54. | :22:07. | |
into pain, grief. But these attacks concern all the French, wherever | :22:08. | :22:13. | |
they live in French territory, because it is the entire country | :22:14. | :22:19. | |
that has been attacked, for the simple reason that it represents, | :22:20. | :22:29. | |
the values it holds, we want to eradicate terrorism, and for the | :22:30. | :22:37. | |
simple reason of what we are. Aim of the terrorists was to target the | :22:38. | :22:46. | |
idea of France itself. The liberty that France has, universal | :22:47. | :22:53. | |
right-sided defends, -- universal rights that its defends, this is | :22:54. | :22:56. | |
what has been attacked during the night of the 13th of November. | :22:57. | :23:03. | |
Because these barbaric people in their blind violence have targeted | :23:04. | :23:08. | |
the diversity of the French people, irrespective of the origin, colour, | :23:09. | :23:16. | |
religion. It is the use of France that was the target, because it | :23:17. | :23:21. | |
represented the vitality, the generosity and the liberty, simply | :23:22. | :23:25. | |
speaking, life. A man whose wife died | :23:26. | :23:31. | |
in the attacks last week has written Antoine Leiris says he will never | :23:32. | :23:34. | |
forget Helene but he and their little boy will not be | :23:35. | :23:38. | |
made to live in fear or hate. On Friday night, you stole away | :23:39. | :23:42. | |
the life of an exceptional being. The love of my life, | :23:43. | :23:47. | |
the mother of my son. I do not know who you are and I | :23:48. | :23:49. | |
don't want to know. If the God for whom you | :23:50. | :23:57. | |
kill so blindly made us in his image, each bullet in my wife's body | :23:58. | :24:05. | |
