:00:55. > :00:57.away from the general public as possible, limit your interactions
:00:58. > :00:59.with them, when you are successful and it is publicly noted, you become
:01:00. > :01:08.a target. There is turmoil
:01:09. > :01:11.in Paris tonight after suspected coordinated terror attacks that have
:01:12. > :01:18.resulted in several deaths. French television is reporting
:01:19. > :01:21.as many as 40 dead. There was a shootout in at least two
:01:22. > :01:24.restaurants, one in the 10th arrondissement, and there were also
:01:25. > :01:26.two explosions apparently caused by grenades in a bar near the Stade de
:01:27. > :01:30.France, in the north of the city, where France was playing Germany
:01:31. > :01:31.at football. But there are also reports that
:01:32. > :01:38.there are hostages In the last few minutes David
:01:39. > :01:42.Cameron has said, thoughts and prayers are with the French people,
:01:43. > :01:49.we will do whatever we can to help. We will be looking at this
:01:50. > :01:53.throughout the programme. We go over to Lucy Williamson, in Paris, first
:01:54. > :02:00.of all, we are in the middle of all of this. There is reports of further
:02:01. > :02:03.incidents at the Louvre. This situation is developing all of the
:02:04. > :02:12.time, we now have confirmation we think of reports, we believe there
:02:13. > :02:19.are fresh attacks taking place very recently in the last few minutes
:02:20. > :02:25.tonight. As yet, we have no arrests, indeed, no shootings towards whoever
:02:26. > :02:28.it was who cause the attacks. We certainly think the attackers are
:02:29. > :02:32.still at large in Paris, no reports that they have been apprehended by
:02:33. > :02:37.the police, and the security forces, as well as looking for those people,
:02:38. > :02:40.are also trying to manage the hostage crisis that has unfolded at
:02:41. > :02:45.a concert hall in the north-east of the city. We understand it is a jazz
:02:46. > :02:53.concert Hall, packed on a Friday night, there is talk of 100
:02:54. > :02:59.hostages. From what you know, who has been deployed? Local police? Who
:03:00. > :03:04.else? CRS That is the information we are not getting clarity on, the
:03:05. > :03:08.police are tight-lipped about what is happening. But we are getting
:03:09. > :03:14.these reports that there may be 100 people held inside, we are also
:03:15. > :03:19.getting reports, unconfirmed, that there may be 35 or 40 people killed
:03:20. > :03:23.in the attack on the concert hall. One witness, who was inside the
:03:24. > :03:26.hall, she managed to escape, she spoke with local media confirming
:03:27. > :03:32.she had seen an attacker shoots someone in front of her, she managed
:03:33. > :03:38.to get out, apparently, before becoming part of the situation. Many
:03:39. > :03:43.resources, a lot of focus, put on trying to resolve that situation.
:03:44. > :03:48.Also, in terms of what is being used, we hear reports of grenades
:03:49. > :03:52.and Kalashnikovs. Coming from eyewitnesses, yet to be confirmed,
:03:53. > :03:57.but we have reports that the gunmen who attacked the Asian restaurant,
:03:58. > :04:01.the first reports we had, may have used a semiautomatic weapon. To
:04:02. > :04:06.attack the customers. Another witness, inside the national
:04:07. > :04:09.stadium, told local media that he believed there was two or three
:04:10. > :04:13.grenades set off, and at least one person had been killed. This is a
:04:14. > :04:18.picture changing all of the time, the number of dead seems too has
:04:19. > :04:22.risen, is rising rapidly, as we go through the night. Francois Hollande
:04:23. > :04:28.was at the friendly match, between Germany and France, he was brought
:04:29. > :04:32.back. Has he said anything yet? He has gone into a crisis meeting with
:04:33. > :04:34.the interior minister and the Prime Minister, to try to work out a
:04:35. > :04:39.strategy to get control of the situation. If these latest reports
:04:40. > :04:43.are true and the new attacks have taken place, as reports say they are
:04:44. > :04:48.doing, then it would be multiple attacks, in Paris, within an hour or
:04:49. > :04:53.two of each other, mostly in the centre, in some of the most famous
:04:54. > :04:57.spots in the capital. Six attacks, maybe five attacks, taking place
:04:58. > :05:01.tonight. That is yet to be confirmed. If reports are to be
:05:02. > :05:04.believed, this could be an incredibly complicated, one of the
:05:05. > :05:09.most widespread attacks that Paris has ever seen. Ten months ago,
:05:10. > :05:14.Charlie Hebdo, no link, as far as anybody could ascertain, to Isis,
:05:15. > :05:19.does anybody yet believe that this is an attack led by Isis? At the
:05:20. > :05:22.moment very little is being said about the motives of the attackers
:05:23. > :05:26.but of course, the nature of the attacks is going to have everybody
:05:27. > :05:30.thinking about parallels, about bringing back the memories of the
:05:31. > :05:34.Charlie Hebdo attack, the hostage situation, the gunmen entering the
:05:35. > :05:38.building, in central Paris. The shocking nature of the attacks
:05:39. > :05:43.themselves. There has been a lot of talk recently about France's role in
:05:44. > :05:46.the conflict in Syria and Iraq. France is worried about people
:05:47. > :05:51.coming back to France from those conflicts and causing these kind of
:05:52. > :05:55.problems at homes. -- at home. That is going to be one of the primary
:05:56. > :06:04.areas of investigation, as police go forward. Thank you very much.
:06:05. > :06:10.What sense are you getting from the picture? Since the attack in
:06:11. > :06:13.Mumbai, people in other major world cities have feared this scenario
:06:14. > :06:21.that we are now seeing unfolding in Paris tonight. Multiple terrorists,
:06:22. > :06:26.sowing death in different parts of a city, bringing complete paralysis,
:06:27. > :06:30.of course, many misleading reports, panic, all of these things. A
:06:31. > :06:34.massive effect across the city. The British have trained, I have been
:06:35. > :06:38.aware of certain aspects of this in the last couple of years, training
:06:39. > :06:42.and preparation. The French have trained this kind of contingency,
:06:43. > :06:46.especially since Charlie Hebdo. Now we see it unfolding, I think that we
:06:47. > :06:51.can assume that some of these early death tolls will be on the low side.
:06:52. > :06:54.We hear that at the theatre but we have also seen pictures on social
:06:55. > :07:00.media of multiple courses in other places. It is a truly dreadful
:07:01. > :07:06.situation. The other thing, of course, the terrorists, by going for
:07:07. > :07:10.a major world city, they are seizing opportunities like the football
:07:11. > :07:15.match between France and Germany, going on at the Stade de France, and
:07:16. > :07:17.we can see footage of audio where we can see the first bomb going outside
:07:18. > :07:30.the stadium. The reports from the Stade de France
:07:31. > :07:33.in particular suggest a couple of bombs outside initially but later
:07:34. > :07:37.reports suggest people throwing hand grenades inside of the stadium, and
:07:38. > :07:42.fans going down onto the pitch to try to escape them. Chaos there, at
:07:43. > :07:49.a major international sporting fixture, president Francois Hollande
:07:50. > :07:53.was at the fixture and was taken away, then we have the shooting
:07:54. > :07:57.incidents come using Kalashnikovs, a hallmark of the Charlie Hebdo and
:07:58. > :08:01.Mumbai style attack, and then the hostage situation, at the theatre,
:08:02. > :08:08.where, anything up to 100 people main lb taken. With multiple gunmen.
:08:09. > :08:13.We are hearing that people, resumes, have been told to stay in doors and
:08:14. > :08:20.stay at home. -- hearing that people, Parisiens. That's jazz club,
:08:21. > :08:27.the movement of the Pompidou Centre and Les Halles Shopping Mall and the
:08:28. > :08:32.Louvre. Looking at this, several possible interpretations, one is
:08:33. > :08:36.that the gunmen, as also happened in Mumbai and Charlie Hebdo, were
:08:37. > :08:40.moving around, and shooting people in different places. Clearly there
:08:41. > :08:46.was more than their work, there were multiple gunmen. It may there was
:08:47. > :08:51.two distinct waves. Once the theatre was surrounded, with some gunmen
:08:52. > :08:55.inside it, follow one incidents seem to have occurred, at Les Halles
:08:56. > :08:58.Shopping Mall and other places, which suggests there was a
:08:59. > :09:03.deliberate second wave to the attack. We will come back to you
:09:04. > :09:05.later, as soon as we get more intelligence on that. Joining me
:09:06. > :09:12.now. Nabila Ramdani, a French Algerian
:09:13. > :09:13.journalist who specialises in terrorism, Nadhim
:09:14. > :09:16.Zahawi, the Conservative MP who sits on the foreign affairs select
:09:17. > :09:20.committee, and the Syria expert and war correspondent Janine Di
:09:21. > :09:34.Giovanni, I was at that restaurant last week,
:09:35. > :09:41.Petit Cambodge, in the 11th, one of the attack sites, apparently. A lot
:09:42. > :09:45.of young people would go there on a Friday night, outdoor seating, the
:09:46. > :09:48.weather has been nice. It is shocking and horrible but in a
:09:49. > :09:53.sense, I think that the people of Paris have been geared up for this
:09:54. > :09:59.since January, since Charlie Hebdo. You think there has been an air of
:10:00. > :10:04.tension? Definitely, and also, a lot of vigilance, the country has been
:10:05. > :10:10.on high alert. All of the major rail stations, Metros, you see armed
:10:11. > :10:15.police, all of the time. There has been much more a sense of people
:10:16. > :10:29.taking care of wheel caution. And again, France's role against Isis.
:10:30. > :10:37.France has the least effective record on integration of their
:10:38. > :10:52.people. Do you see this daily, the lack of integration? Alienation?
:10:53. > :10:58.Absolutely. Immigrants feel disenfranchised, they live only on
:10:59. > :11:02.the outskirts of Harry, -- Paris. That is the case of the brothers in
:11:03. > :11:09.the Charlie Hebdo attack. This is your area, your area of expertise.
:11:10. > :11:12.As the story started, initially, one might have thought it could have
:11:13. > :11:21.been the settling of scores between gangs, rivalry. Happens quite often
:11:22. > :11:26.in the South of France, big cities like Marseille, drug gangs, less so
:11:27. > :11:33.in Paris, it must be said. But as the death toll kept rising, and
:11:34. > :11:37.indeed, we kept learning more, this is multiple attacks across Paris,
:11:38. > :11:41.which is a small village in comparison with London, all
:11:42. > :11:43.locations will be close by. They are inevitable. This has all the
:11:44. > :11:50.hallmarks of a major terrorist attack. Long planned. Kalashnikov
:11:51. > :11:56.wielding gunman, bomb at motions involving grenades, hostagetaking
:11:57. > :12:03.situations, corpses strewn on the streets of Paris, ambulances and
:12:04. > :12:08.fire engines. What is particularly horrific about the situation, the
:12:09. > :12:13.people involved... The criminals involved... They seem to have gone
:12:14. > :12:17.after soft targets, talking about targeting people who are out on a
:12:18. > :12:22.Friday night, relaxed, restaurants, concert halls. More information, the
:12:23. > :12:30.police are now saying, 100 hostages are inside the concert hall, what
:12:31. > :12:35.you know about Bataclan? Famous jazz club, would have been packed. Mainly
:12:36. > :12:42.frequented by young people, very cheap to get a ticket... Very
:12:43. > :12:47.attractive place, not only for residents of Paris but for students
:12:48. > :12:54.visiting, tourists as well. It would be, dare I say, the perfect target
:12:55. > :12:59.for a major incident. In terms of preparation, since Charlie Hebdo,
:13:00. > :13:05.and plans and cordon nation, we know that... -- and plans and
:13:06. > :13:10.coordination. More evidence of police at stations. How do you think
:13:11. > :13:16.there has been an idea of combating terror since Charlie Hebdo? Has
:13:17. > :13:21.there been a big change of plans? There has been, since Charlie Hebdo,
:13:22. > :13:27.no doubt that France has been on its highest alert ever. Not least of all
:13:28. > :13:33.because it has been struck in the heart of the capital city. It is a
:13:34. > :13:38.western capital city as well. France is also involved in major conflict
:13:39. > :13:43.zones abroad, Francois Hollande may be a socialist at home, but he is a
:13:44. > :13:48.hawk when it comes to foreign policy. That makes France a possible
:13:49. > :13:50.target for revenge attacks stop what we will pause, because Barack Obama
:13:51. > :13:58.has just been speaking: Once again, we have seen an
:13:59. > :14:04.outrageous attempt to terrorise innocent civilians. This is an
:14:05. > :14:09.attack not just an Paris, it is an attack not just an the people of
:14:10. > :14:20.France, but this is an attack on all of humanity and the universal values
:14:21. > :14:22.that we share. We stand prepared to provide whatever assistance is
:14:23. > :14:27.needed by the people of France and the government, to respond. Barack
:14:28. > :14:33.Obama speaking a few moments ago. What do you make of this? I echo
:14:34. > :14:37.what David Cameron has said, thoughts and prayers must be with
:14:38. > :14:41.the victims and those that have been held hostage. We must stand united
:14:42. > :14:44.against this evil, David Cameron is right to say that we will do
:14:45. > :14:50.everything we can to help in any way that we can. There is coordination
:14:51. > :14:55.across Europe, an anti-terrorism, we were successful a few weeks ago,
:14:56. > :15:01.with the arrests in Italy, if you remember. This is a spectacular...
:15:02. > :15:05.In terms of planning and preparation and the failure to even get a wind
:15:06. > :15:11.of this? ! It feels horrific, bloodcurdling. These people have got
:15:12. > :15:15.to get lucky only once... Police forces have got to get lucky every
:15:16. > :15:19.single day. We have a bill before Parliament to help police and
:15:20. > :15:23.agencies track these people electronically, it is important
:15:24. > :15:27.that, fiercely, we get the details of this, we understand what has
:15:28. > :15:32.happened. Clearly, what happened, in the Sinai, in Egypt, with the
:15:33. > :15:37.Russian airliner... There seems to be a North African connection,
:15:38. > :15:41.possibly. Early days, but it is important that we work together and
:15:42. > :15:45.cordon eight. David Cameron is right to say that we will do everything we
:15:46. > :15:49.can to help. We have just heard that the French president has said that
:15:50. > :15:56.this is a terrorist attack on France without precedent.
:15:57. > :16:05.How do you deal with the threat? We have to get lucky every day. Theresa
:16:06. > :16:11.May has talked about the number of incidents we have thwarted. Mark
:16:12. > :16:16.wants to come in. Well, a key aspect of this, as it was in Charlie Hebdo,
:16:17. > :16:22.was how do you bring military-style firearms into a city like Paris or
:16:23. > :16:25.indeed London? I had a conversation with a senior counter-terrorist
:16:26. > :16:29.figure in the UK after the Charlie Hebdo thing, saying what is to stop
:16:30. > :16:34.that happening here? He expressed confidence that the number of
:16:35. > :16:38.firearms, a couple of hundred that is in circulation with the
:16:39. > :16:42.underworld as one understood but in France the situation was different.
:16:43. > :16:45.Clearly tonight, something terrible has happened in terms of the
:16:46. > :16:50.quantity of weapons and explosives that somebody has managed to get
:16:51. > :16:52.into that city. We will of course come back to events in Paris
:16:53. > :16:55.tonight, but to other news now. According to a US official,
:16:56. > :16:57.one British drone and two American ones worked together intimately
:16:58. > :17:00.in the operation that targeted Mohammad Emwazi, who appeared
:17:01. > :17:02.in Isis execution videos. David Cameron called the attack
:17:03. > :17:04.on the torturer known as Jihadi John in a car in the Northern Syrian town
:17:05. > :17:08.of Raqqa as "a strike at Emwazi apparently killed seven
:17:09. > :17:10.hostages, including British aid workers
:17:11. > :17:13.David Haines and Alan Henning. But perhaps
:17:14. > :17:15.the more significant story this week, in terms of the war on Islamic
:17:16. > :17:18.State, has been the sustained gains being made against their territory -
:17:19. > :17:23.not least today's reclaiming of So which is the better guide
:17:24. > :17:28.to how this war might be won? Here's our
:17:29. > :17:34.diplomatic editor Mark Urban. The intelligence gathering operation
:17:35. > :17:36.to find and target Mohammed Emwazi took months
:17:37. > :17:40.and considerable resources. Last night, three different drones,
:17:41. > :17:45.one British, and two American, were tracking him before an American
:17:46. > :17:51.drone launched a missile into a car. And let us never forget he
:17:52. > :18:00.killed many, many Muslims too. And he was intent
:18:01. > :18:04.on murdering many more people. Emwazi had been the ring master
:18:05. > :18:11.for the televised murder of James Foley, Steven Sotloff, David Haines,
:18:12. > :18:17.Alan Henning and Peter Kassig. Some
:18:18. > :18:21.of the freed hostages also reported But tonight,
:18:22. > :18:29.family members didn't give in. Just sad, and I think we have to be
:18:30. > :18:37.careful, as an American media, not He's a sad individual,
:18:38. > :18:48.filled with hate for us. The car believed to be carrying
:18:49. > :18:54.Mohammed Emwazi was hit right in the middle of Raqqa,
:18:55. > :18:57.capital of the self-proclaimed Caliphate, and just yards
:18:58. > :19:00.from the clock tower where IS staged There is something bigger going
:19:01. > :19:11.on here though. Islamic State is on the defensive
:19:12. > :19:14.in several different places Clearly Isis at the moment is
:19:15. > :19:20.in a situation where it is facing battles on lots of different fronts,
:19:21. > :19:25.but if we look at what is happening in Sinjar, my understanding is that
:19:26. > :19:28.hasn't completely severed If we look
:19:29. > :19:34.at the Russians hitting them in some places, it is not the sort
:19:35. > :19:37.of overwhelming push we are seeing. What we are seeing is
:19:38. > :19:40.a situation where they are dealing with pressure on multiple fronts,
:19:41. > :19:43.but I don't think we can say it is On Sinjar,
:19:44. > :19:48.Kurdish troops supported by British Special Forces, and more than 250
:19:49. > :19:54.air strikes in the past month, have driven back IS, cutting the group's
:19:55. > :19:59.key route between Raqqa and Mosul. Unfortunately the process for the
:20:00. > :20:05.liberation of Mosul was delayed. Therefore, we were obliged
:20:06. > :20:09.in order to make sure that step by step we would liberate
:20:10. > :20:15.the areas which are important. Of course, the victory that was
:20:16. > :20:17.achieved in Sinjar is very important, it is significant,
:20:18. > :20:20.this is our response, and it is our revenge on the Isis and the
:20:21. > :20:23.crimes they committed last year. The atrocities that were committed
:20:24. > :20:26.by the Isis terrorists, and the crimes that were committed
:20:27. > :20:30.amount to genocide. Therefore we are very pleased
:20:31. > :20:35.today Sinjar was liberated. Across the border, a co-ordinated
:20:36. > :20:42.push by the Syrian democratic forces, Kurdish-led but with
:20:43. > :20:45.American special operators, have cleared 500 square kilometres of
:20:46. > :20:48.Islamic State fighters in the past few weeks, and then over further
:20:49. > :20:51.west, the Syrian Army with Iranian ground support and Russian backing
:20:52. > :20:55.from the air, has broken the IS It all adds up to
:20:56. > :21:10.significant pressure. Nobody thinks this week's
:21:11. > :21:12.blows mark the end of IS. It's shown itself a fierce
:21:13. > :21:16.and resilient adversary, but it's thought to have lost
:21:17. > :21:19.its chief propagandist and is under pressure on multiple fronts now,
:21:20. > :21:39.from the air and on the ground. The co-ordinateded attacks in Paris,
:21:40. > :21:43.we have just heard that Francois Hollande has called a state of
:21:44. > :21:48.emergency in France, and closed the French border. I mean, this is
:21:49. > :21:51.absolutely huge, I mean clearly, either the intelligence is that
:21:52. > :21:56.there is more to come, or it is stop people escaping. I think if we saw
:21:57. > :22:00.what happened after the Charlie Hebdo events in Jan, there was a
:22:01. > :22:04.series of event that went foreign a couple of days as people tried to
:22:05. > :22:09.track down those responsible. If this is a bigger and more complex at
:22:10. > :22:14.a tack there could be a wider web of people. France is in the most
:22:15. > :22:20.difficult situation tonight, Presidents Holland took this step of
:22:21. > :22:23.standing front and sentence in the alliance, since September, the
:22:24. > :22:28.country has been bombing Syria, as well as Iraq, something few other
:22:29. > :22:31.European countries wanted to do. His has taken this very difficult step
:22:32. > :22:38.politically, and tonight, he is in the middle of this fresh crisis. I
:22:39. > :22:40.saw one unconfirmed ifficult step politically, and tonight, he is in
:22:41. > :22:42.the middle of this fresh crisis. I saw one unconfirmed report of
:22:43. > :22:47.someone shouting "This is for Syria." We have seen reports people
:22:48. > :22:52.said this was for Syria, and we have seen reports of people shouting aloo
:22:53. > :22:59.alAqabar. At this moment, I don't think can't regard those as
:23:00. > :23:09.definitive. We are joined by another two guests.
:23:10. > :23:14.We will soon by joined by the former deputy editor of Liberation --
:23:15. > :23:19.liberation. We no we are dealing with a substantial terrorist attack.
:23:20. > :23:24.We have multiple targets struck, we have people using automatic weapons
:23:25. > :23:30.and explosive devices. No arrests? We don't really know. It is an
:23:31. > :23:34.unfolding situation. We have heard incidents going off all over the
:23:35. > :23:37.placings, we don't know if we are dealing with five separate incidents
:23:38. > :23:40.or groups who are mobile, who are making one journey to another in
:23:41. > :23:44.vehicles or something else. It's a fluid situation, so we don't know
:23:45. > :23:49.defintively what we are looking at, but what we know is we are looking
:23:50. > :23:53.at people who have training to make explosive, training to use gun, and
:23:54. > :24:00.obviously, a lot of preparation to do some sort of sub Stan shallot
:24:01. > :24:03.attack like this. Let us go ever to the former deputy editor of
:24:04. > :24:11.Liberation. What do you make of the announcement where you are in a
:24:12. > :24:14.state of emergency? Well, it is obviously taking into account, the
:24:15. > :24:21.shock the country is in, you should have seen the streets of Paris it is
:24:22. > :24:24.really panic, and great anxiety. The President wanted to show that he is
:24:25. > :24:29.still in charge, that the authorities are do whatever they
:24:30. > :24:34.can, and that exceptional measures are taken to deal with an
:24:35. > :24:38.exceptional and unprecedented situation. He announced that the
:24:39. > :24:44.borders are closed, that the army has been called in reinforcement, to
:24:45. > :24:48.secure the capital, so it is really a kind of war situation, that has
:24:49. > :24:53.suddenly, you know, fallen on our heads. We can see that from the
:24:54. > :24:57.shots we are seeing now, from outside that restaurant earlier,
:24:58. > :25:00.people are being attended to in the streets, people being carried away.
:25:01. > :25:04.What can you tell us, if you can tell us any more about what is
:25:05. > :25:11.happening at the Bataclan concert place? There has been a lot of
:25:12. > :25:15.hostages inside, people are talking about 60-80 hostages and the
:25:16. > :25:22.President in his statement said that the situation was still under way,
:25:23. > :25:26.and that assault was being given by the police, the elite forces of the
:25:27. > :25:31.police have been called in, and there is a lot of shooting, so the
:25:32. > :25:34.situation, the situationing is still ongoing, and probably the number of
:25:35. > :25:40.dead will be much higher than it is already. We can see now what
:25:41. > :25:44.happened. We can see scenes from inside Stade de France where there
:25:45. > :25:49.are recorded images of people moving on to the pitch know not knowing
:25:50. > :25:52.what would happen. The players, a the first explosion went off and we
:25:53. > :25:55.heard reports that there were grenades thrown inside the stadium.
:25:56. > :26:02.Can you tell us any more about that? No, it doesn't seem to have been
:26:03. > :26:05.taking place inside the stadium, because the commentators, sports
:26:06. > :26:10.commentators all telling us that the football match went on as if nothing
:26:11. > :26:15.has happened, and people didn't react to the explosions thinking it
:26:16. > :26:19.was just celebrations or atmosphere. But the thing about the staid de
:26:20. > :26:22.France, people are probably still there and people won't want to get
:26:23. > :26:29.on the trains back in to Paris because they don't know about the
:26:30. > :26:32.trains either. Absolutely. Public transport will be massively watched
:26:33. > :26:36.by French police. It has to be said that the French Government seems to,
:26:37. > :26:41.you know, take to realise the absolute scale of this tragedy, not
:26:42. > :26:45.only through its announcement, earlier we heard the French
:26:46. > :26:49.President talking about multiple scenes of violence and then it went
:26:50. > :26:52.to him describing the attacks as unprecedented attacks and then
:26:53. > :26:59.declaring a state of emergency, and then going as far as mobilising the
:27:00. > :27:05.army, so, in its wordings, but in its actions he is talking to his
:27:06. > :27:10.close you know, advisers, and indeed his holding the equivalent of what
:27:11. > :27:15.would be a Cobra meeting in transto catch the terrorists at an early
:27:16. > :27:19.stage. We can go to a telephone call with Jonathan Hill who saw one of
:27:20. > :27:24.the gunmen. What did you see and where are you? Currently the signal
:27:25. > :27:36.is not great. I am on the Metro trying to get away from the area. I
:27:37. > :27:42.was coming out of the Metro station, collecting cash from an ATM, 40, 50
:27:43. > :27:48.yards away myself and two other friends heard two distinctive shots.
:27:49. > :27:58.There was a guy... Very largely built. In the middle of the street,
:27:59. > :28:03.shouting Allez, to get people in the restaurants.
:28:04. > :28:12.With that... I am afraid the signal is very bad on the Metro so we have
:28:13. > :28:17.to leave him but we can go to a recording of President Hollande.
:28:18. > :28:20.TRANSLATION: My dear country Americas as I speak terrorist
:28:21. > :28:25.attacks on an unprecedented scale are taking place in the Paris
:28:26. > :28:29.region. There are several dozen dead, lots more wounded. It is
:28:30. > :28:33.horrific. We have on my orders mobilised all the forces we can
:28:34. > :28:38.muster in order to neutralise the terrorist threat, and to secure all
:28:39. > :28:42.the affected areas. I have asked for military reinforcements, they too
:28:43. > :28:50.are in the Paris area to make sure no new attack can take place.
:28:51. > :28:54.Tell me though, you have a particular view of how Paris and the
:28:55. > :28:58.French regard security? Well, its has to be said, mine it is evident
:28:59. > :29:02.that France has massive security failure as we have seen with the
:29:03. > :29:07.Charlie Hebdo incident. The Charlie Hebdo offices were a clear target.
:29:08. > :29:10.They had been targeted by firebombs before, they clearly were supposed
:29:11. > :29:14.to be under police security. It turned out they weren't. After the
:29:15. > :29:19.attacks happened, we have seen police officers standing up on bike,
:29:20. > :29:23.with no arms, and that is how the police reacted to a terrorist attack
:29:24. > :29:26.in central Paris. We don't have much time here, but I want to ask you
:29:27. > :29:30.what you think will be the reaction of other European countries,
:29:31. > :29:34.particularly ones that are leading the battle against Isis. You can see
:29:35. > :29:37.a ratcheting up of security across the continent. People have been
:29:38. > :29:43.worried about this sort of at tack for some time. Your can look far
:29:44. > :29:46.back as 2010 when people worried about a Mumbai-style attack. Now we
:29:47. > :29:50.have seen it happening after the Charlie Hebdo attack, you saw
:29:51. > :29:53.European forces looking at this could happen to them and training
:29:54. > :29:57.for it, so you will see that as well. I think on the Continent in
:29:58. > :30:02.particular, you will start to see people really starting... Because we
:30:03. > :30:07.have open borders but tonight France has closed its borders as much as it
:30:08. > :30:11.can. It has had to close its borders in response to this situation. We
:30:12. > :30:15.can see the situation earlier in year in Belgium, where a plot, a
:30:16. > :30:21.network that looked like it might have been trying to do something
:30:22. > :30:23.similar was disrupted. We have seen other networks happening round the
:30:24. > :30:27.Continent that going in this direction, when you see an incident
:30:28. > :30:31.like this you will see others who will be inspired and try to stand on
:30:32. > :30:35.the shoulders of giants and launch an attack on their own. What is the
:30:36. > :30:39.latest Mark? Simply that the scale of this is immense, as you say,
:30:40. > :30:47.France effectively is locked down now. I think the assessment is still
:30:48. > :30:51.going on. I wouldn't be surprised in that French Government meeting if
:30:52. > :30:54.security chiefs can't give Francois Hollande straight answers how many
:30:55. > :30:58.were there, how many might still be at large on the streets. So, as we
:30:59. > :31:03.lever you tonight, we are still in the middle of a situation in Paris,
:31:04. > :31:07.there are more than 100 hostages in a jazz club, and also more than 40
:31:08. > :31:13.people dead apparently, perhaps at the jazz club and more at the
:31:14. > :31:17.restaurant. Francois Hollande has called a state of merge, is, the
:31:18. > :31:21.borders are closed and in Paris the army are being deployed. People are
:31:22. > :31:24.being told to stay at home. There is no identity, no notion of the
:31:25. > :31:28.identity of the attackers or where they might strike necks. More on the
:31:29. > :31:34.BBC News channel but now it is Artsnight. This week 's presenter is
:31:35. > :31:40.Clara Amfo who will take us inside the fame industry.
