:02:44. > :02:48.to French military action against Islamic State in Syria. Let's talk
:02:49. > :02:56.you through the attacks as they unfolded last night.
:02:57. > :02:58.The first of the attacks happened around 9pm
:02:59. > :03:00.in the 10th Arrondissement, at Le Carillon bar.
:03:01. > :03:02.Witnesses described a masked gunman with a rifle.
:03:03. > :03:05.He opened fire then moved across the street to a Cambodian restaurant.
:03:06. > :03:07.12 people are known to have died on this street.
:03:08. > :03:11.came another attack at the Casa Nostra pizzeria.
:03:12. > :03:15.Witnesses say they saw at least five bodies.
:03:16. > :03:16.Then three suicide bombers blew themselves up
:03:17. > :03:28.where a football match was being played.
:03:29. > :03:33.from the La Belle Equipe bar in the 11th Arrondissement.
:03:34. > :03:40.Finally, more than 80 people are known to have died after gunmen
:03:41. > :03:48.stormed the Bataclan theatre where a rock concert was being held.
:03:49. > :03:59.Our first report is from our Paris correspondent Lucy Williamson. It
:04:00. > :04:15.was a night of horror for France. Terror attacks the aimed at its
:04:16. > :04:25.softest targets. Swat teams teeming into the 11th area. Inside the
:04:26. > :04:31.Bataclan were 100 hostages. TRANSLATION: We were piled up on
:04:32. > :04:40.each other. We heard the shots, people screaming. It was butchery.
:04:41. > :04:44.Carnage. I saw two young men with Kalashnikovs. They told us to lie
:04:45. > :04:50.down. There was one who kept gesturing for us to get down. We all
:04:51. > :04:58.lay down. The whole room lay down. I was under other people and they kept
:04:59. > :05:00.shooting. 80 people died in the hall. Many more were injured. The
:05:01. > :05:08.screams of emergency vehicles told of the panic and chaos inside. But
:05:09. > :05:21.this was just the climax to terrorist attacks the Government
:05:22. > :05:32.said were unprecedented. Four times last night gunmen entered local bars
:05:33. > :05:42.and restaurants with machine guns. The scale of the plot slowly
:05:43. > :05:44.becoming clear. At France's football stadium, the sound of three
:05:45. > :05:51.explosions burst through the commentary. As Francois Hollande
:05:52. > :06:08.watched the national side play Germany, suicide bombers had blown
:06:09. > :06:16.themselves up outside. SPEAKING IN FRENCH. The president was rushed to
:06:17. > :06:31.safety. The fear here greater than many can ever remember.
:06:32. > :06:48.CROWD SINGS FRENCH NATIONAL ANTHEM. TRANSLATION: I was crossing the
:06:49. > :06:53.street and straightaway, boom, it exploded, right in front of me.
:06:54. > :06:58.Everything was blown to bits. I felt stuff flying around. This is the
:06:59. > :07:08.cell phone that took the hit. It's what saved me. The question for
:07:09. > :07:13.leaders across Europe, how do you protect every bar, every restaurant,
:07:14. > :07:18.from attack. TRANSLATION: We wanted to be here among all those who saw
:07:19. > :07:24.these atrocious things to say that we are going to fight and our fight
:07:25. > :07:28.will be merciless, because these terrorists that are capable of such
:07:29. > :07:32.atrocities need to know that they will be confronted by a France that
:07:33. > :07:38.is determined, unified and pulled together and a France that will not
:07:39. > :07:44.let itself be overawed, even if today it is expressping an infinite
:07:45. > :07:51.amount of emotion at this tragedy, which was a barbaric act. As Paris
:07:52. > :07:57.reels from its worst attack since the Second World War, 1,500 soldiers
:07:58. > :08:01.are on the streets today to help protect the capital. Libraries,
:08:02. > :08:05.swimming pools and markets are closed and border controls have been
:08:06. > :08:09.introduced and the president announced a state of emergency. Here
:08:10. > :08:13.the year is ending as it began with soldiers on the streets and terror
:08:14. > :08:19.and anger rippling through its people. Since the attacks on Charlie
:08:20. > :08:31.Hebdo in January, the question has been what next? This is the answer.
:08:32. > :08:38.Francois Hollande described this as an act of war and will address both
:08:39. > :08:43.houses of French Parliament on Monday. He has had no hesitation in
:08:44. > :08:54.blaming what happened here on so-called Islamic State or known in
:08:55. > :09:04.Arabic as Daesh. TRANSLATION: Dear come patriots. What happened
:09:05. > :09:12.yesterday in Paris and at St Denis near the Stade de France, was an act
:09:13. > :09:18.of war. And faced with war, the country must make the appropriate
:09:19. > :09:24.decisions. It is an act of war that was committed by a terrorist army,
:09:25. > :09:31.Daesh, a Jihadist army, against France. Against the values that we
:09:32. > :09:36.defend throughout the world. Against what we are, a country that is free,
:09:37. > :09:46.that talks to the whole of the planet. That the president Francois
:09:47. > :09:50.Hollande. I am joined here in Paris outside the Bataclan concert hall,
:09:51. > :09:55.where so many people died, by our Europe correspondent. You were here
:09:56. > :09:58.just after the Charlie Hebdo killings in January, I suppose it is
:09:59. > :10:03.fair to say people here, although they were on a state of high alert,
:10:04. > :10:09.they were never expecting something like this in the same year? No, the
:10:10. > :10:13.terrible thing is those attacks, the Charlie Hebdo offices are just a few
:10:14. > :10:17.hundred yards up the road that way. Win a couple of minutes walk from
:10:18. > :10:23.here. Not only another attack, but almost in exactly the same part of
:10:24. > :10:27.Paris. You remember back then we saw pretty extraordinary scenes after
:10:28. > :10:34.that set of attacks. Millions coming out in France, huge demonstrations,
:10:35. > :10:38.enormous support, public support rallying behind republic can ideals.
:10:39. > :10:45.Now will we see the same thing again? What has happened has been
:10:46. > :10:52.the nightmare scenario for security agencies not just in France but many
:10:53. > :10:56.capitals? Yes in the past year this sort of attack is precisely what
:10:57. > :10:59.security agencies have been worrying about and trying to prevent and have
:11:00. > :11:06.been preparing for. So the question is how did they not see this one
:11:07. > :11:12.coming? The issue being large scale attacks on multiple locations, with
:11:13. > :11:18.mull Peel public -- multiple targets in places where people gather. That
:11:19. > :11:19.is why we have seen across Europe people talking about tightening
:11:20. > :11:39.security. Thank you. 1,500 troops have been deployed on
:11:40. > :11:45.the streets and people are queueing up to give blood, in case the
:11:46. > :11:49.hospitals who are treating the many wounded run out of blood supplies.
:11:50. > :11:52.Now a report on the theories about who carried out the attack from our
:11:53. > :12:01.security correspondent. The scene The scene at the centre of the
:12:02. > :12:04.worst of last night's Paris attacks, French security forces
:12:05. > :12:05.assault the Bataclan theatre. S'il vous plait,
:12:06. > :12:07.qu'est-ce qui se passe?! Some terrified hostages escape
:12:08. > :12:09.through windows, but inside over 80 people were murdered by the gunmen,
:12:10. > :12:14.who also set off explosives. Within hours, the group calling
:12:15. > :12:19.itself Islamic State claimed it was behind the attacks, the worst on
:12:20. > :12:23.France since the Second World War. They've been swiftly condemned
:12:24. > :12:27.around the world. an attack not just
:12:28. > :12:32.on the people of France, but this is an attack
:12:33. > :12:35.on all of humanity and the universal values
:12:36. > :12:40.that we share. We stand prepared and ready to
:12:41. > :12:43.provide whatever assistance that the government and people
:12:44. > :12:49.of France need to respond. It is the second time this year
:12:50. > :12:52.Paris has suffered a rampaging attack
:12:53. > :12:54.by Islamist gunmen inspired by terrorist groups
:12:55. > :13:01.in the Middle East. In January, jihadists raided the
:13:02. > :13:04.offices of a satirical newspaper, Charlie Hebdo,
:13:05. > :13:05.and a Jewish kosher grocery. And in August, a man was overpowered
:13:06. > :13:12.on a French high-speed train as he allegedly tried to shoot
:13:13. > :13:18.passengers with an assault rifle. the Government convened
:13:19. > :13:22.a Cobra crisis meeting. Ministers want to check that every
:13:23. > :13:27.possible precaution has been taken to prevent a similar tragedy
:13:28. > :13:29.happening here in Britain. We've already been trying
:13:30. > :13:33.to prepare, we've got a heightened state of
:13:34. > :13:36.readiness, more officers on patrol. Overnight, of course,
:13:37. > :13:38.we've looked at that afresh, and whenever there is
:13:39. > :13:40.something like this, we review our standards
:13:41. > :13:43.and people will probably see in the next few days more police
:13:44. > :13:46.officers at public events, they will see strengthened
:13:47. > :13:50.policing at ports. French police and security forces
:13:51. > :13:52.reacted quickly to the Paris attacks, but this was
:13:53. > :13:55.still an intelligence failure. There are clearly gaps
:13:56. > :14:14.in French security at Huge implications for the British
:14:15. > :14:18.intelligence agencies from what happened. Here is our assistant
:14:19. > :14:22.political editor Norman Smith. The Prime Minister has been chairing a
:14:23. > :14:28.meeting of Cobra emergency committee? Yes, in the past few
:14:29. > :14:33.minutes the Prime Minister has said we must be prepared for British
:14:34. > :14:38.casualties from these attacks. Among the 127 dead there will be probably
:14:39. > :14:43.be British victims. But he has been talking about how he need to stand
:14:44. > :14:53.together with the people of France, saying your fight is our fight and
:14:54. > :14:58.he has tweeted in French to underline that saying, we are
:14:59. > :15:02.united, we are together. But also I think significantly trying to offer
:15:03. > :15:05.a message of reassurance to people here about the security measures we
:15:06. > :15:08.already have in place. The Prime Minister and the government have
:15:09. > :15:13.decided not to increase the security level. It has already been raised
:15:14. > :15:17.over the past year to severe. So we are already at a heightened state of
:15:18. > :15:23.alert. David Cameron has decided not to raise it further, because I think
:15:24. > :15:28.he is of the view we already have significant measures in place. Over
:15:29. > :15:33.the sum tr police carried out a trial run for exactly this sort of
:15:34. > :15:40.outrage, when they tried to rehearse what their response must be to an
:15:41. > :15:44.attack, at different sites, a rolling attack, involving different
:15:45. > :15:48.terrorists and on top of that we know that the government has
:15:49. > :15:52.introduced quite a range of significant additional security
:15:53. > :15:57.measures. You think a few weeks ago we had the Home Secretary unveiling
:15:58. > :16:02.increased surveillance powers to make its easier for the Security
:16:03. > :16:07.Service to access the internet chat of the e-mails and use of data by
:16:08. > :16:12.terror suspects and on top of that we already have legislation passing
:16:13. > :16:18.through Parliament to make it easier to close down those organisations
:16:19. > :16:22.suspected of trying to put over extremist views. So there have been
:16:23. > :16:28.a significant number of measures in place. So while you might expect to
:16:29. > :16:29.see more police on the streets, there won't immediately be new
:16:30. > :16:36.measures. Thank you. Our diplomatic correspondent
:16:37. > :16:37.James Robbins is there in Antalya for us now.
:16:38. > :16:45.James. There is a meeting of the G 206789
:16:46. > :16:54.it will be an early opportunity for the heads of states to discuss the
:16:55. > :16:59.events in Paris. -- G20. Yes, the scale of what has happened in Paris
:17:00. > :17:05.has shocked world leaders, many of them making their way here to Turkey
:17:06. > :17:09.for two days of talks, where the fight against extremism was already
:17:10. > :17:15.pushing other subjects to the margins. I think now it will
:17:16. > :17:22.dominate. President Obama said that the United States stood should tore
:17:23. > :17:29.er to shoulder with France and that will be the theme. The meeting will
:17:30. > :17:32.bring together leaders from 20 of the world's leading economy.
:17:33. > :17:39.Francois Hollande will stay away to handle the crisis at home. But
:17:40. > :17:45.others will try to produce a unified response to civil war in Syria and
:17:46. > :17:52.how to drive IS out of the territory of Syria and Iraq. This country of
:17:53. > :17:55.course, Turkey, has suffered extremism itself, mass casualties in
:17:56. > :18:00.the Turkish capital and it borders Syria and Iraq. So it is rights at
:18:01. > :18:06.the fulcrum of the war against extremism. A very unhelpful and
:18:07. > :18:12.unwelcome remark from Sir y's president Assad who told French law
:18:13. > :18:15.makers who were viz sifting that French -- visiting that French
:18:16. > :18:20.policies contributed to this act of terrorism. We can be certain the
:18:21. > :18:25.leaders here will say exactly the opposite and it will be a test of
:18:26. > :18:38.whether they can bring together the policies of Russia with those of
:18:39. > :18:41.President Obama. Thank you. Norman Smith said that the British
:18:42. > :18:46.Government are warning there could be British casualties among the dead
:18:47. > :18:49.and injured in the wake of these attacks in Paris.
:18:50. > :18:51.And if you're concerned about loved ones in Paris,

:19:28. > :19:37.We are outside the Bataclan venue, where most of the victims died.
:19:38. > :19:45.1,500 people has been in there watching a concert when four gunmen
:19:46. > :19:47.came in. They have been retrieving bodies and carrying out forensic

:19:53. > :19:55.in what the French President called an "act of war"
