:00:00. > :00:08.We'll be taking a look at tomorrow morning's papers

:00:09. > :00:16.The merciless fight against terror promised by the French President

:00:17. > :00:18.begins as the country launches air strikes on Raqqa,

:00:19. > :00:25.In Europe, a massive manhunt is under way for

:00:26. > :00:34.one of the suspected assailants, Belgian-born Salah Abdeslam.

:00:35. > :00:36.France, meanwhile, continues to mourn the worst loss

:00:37. > :00:41.of life to hit the country since the Second World War.

:00:42. > :00:43.And across the world people are paying their respects to

:00:44. > :01:03.Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers

:01:04. > :01:06.With me are Joe Watts, political correspondent London Evening

:01:07. > :01:08.Standard and Benedicte Paviot, France 24 and joining us from

:01:09. > :01:23.our Paris bureau is Daily Telegraph Columnist Anne-Elisabeth Moutet.

:01:24. > :01:27.Tomorrow's front pages are looking like this.

:01:28. > :01:29.Le Figaro concentrates on the challenge President Hollande

:01:30. > :01:31.faces in responding to Friday's terror attacks in Paris.

:01:32. > :01:35.The FT says France and the US have pledged to step up air strikes

:01:36. > :01:41.The Express claims 450 Jihadis are on the streets of Britain

:01:42. > :01:46.and planning attacks after returning from fighting in Syria.

:01:47. > :01:48.The Telegraph focuses on the manhunt and says

:01:49. > :01:51.the suspect was in a car stopped at the border, hours after the

:01:52. > :01:58.The manhunt leads the Times too, with the headline

:01:59. > :02:08.Pictures of some of those killed dominate the front of the Guardian.

:02:09. > :02:12.And the Metro has included a picture of the Eiffel Tower in its logo

:02:13. > :02:35.Let's begin with the French newspaper Les Figaro. Quite a few

:02:36. > :02:37.different strands -- Le. Everyone is asking how the president will

:02:38. > :02:45.respond to the challenge. We have some answers already. What is the

:02:46. > :02:49.appetite like in Paris for a merciless war against Islamic

:02:50. > :02:54.State, which is what the president has promised? It is pretty much

:02:55. > :03:01.something the French are behind. They are very angry. They were in

:03:02. > :03:04.shock at the time of Charlie Hebdo but now this carnage against the

:03:05. > :03:09.French people at large, against young people in one of the most

:03:10. > :03:16.diverse neighbourhoods in Paris, is has really made people angry. We

:03:17. > :03:26.already have our mutual resources, our resources in Syria -- it has. It

:03:27. > :03:34.has started already. But one thing about the Middle East is that, if

:03:35. > :03:41.you go and you appear weak come ID will not be taken seriously. -- if

:03:42. > :03:50.you go and you appear weak, you will not be taken seriously. You must go

:03:51. > :03:53.and appear strong. There is a huge bombardment against an Islamic State

:03:54. > :03:58.camp and it doesn't mean strategically it will change very

:03:59. > :04:02.much but it will change minds and that is part of warfare. This is

:04:03. > :04:07.very similar to the 1986 bombardment of Tripoli by the American Air

:04:08. > :04:12.Force. Libya stopped a great deal of its terrorism afterwards. The other

:04:13. > :04:27.stance on the front of the paper is that the inquiry will focus on the

:04:28. > :04:31.network of Islamists, a Franco -Belgian network. Yes and the big

:04:32. > :04:38.revelation is that this has been brewing for some time. These

:04:39. > :04:42.Islamist cells in Brussels, it has become a terrorism hotspot. I've

:04:43. > :04:48.been looking into it this afternoon and reading on it and a lot of

:04:49. > :04:53.things, the pieces of the puzzle are falling together. When you look at

:04:54. > :04:57.the structure of Belgium, you find out that Brussels has six Police

:04:58. > :05:02.Department 's just covering the city and 19 municipalities with 19

:05:03. > :05:06.mayors, you have a very divided approach between the different local

:05:07. > :05:15.authorities between police and the intelligence services. This does not

:05:16. > :05:20.make dealing with these things very easy. We know there is a suburb in

:05:21. > :05:29.Brussels and picture this, imagine four miles from Parliament, on

:05:30. > :05:31.Islamist cell is busy being a terrorist camp and that is

:05:32. > :05:44.effectively what is happening at the moment in Brussels where, Nato HQ

:05:45. > :05:47.is, by the way, also located. The French president has not only been

:05:48. > :05:55.consulting people in his own party but also the ex-president Nicolas

:05:56. > :06:00.Sarkozy and Marine Le Pen and all of this is indicating a very big

:06:01. > :06:03.Monday, not just for the minute of silence, but also because he will be

:06:04. > :06:08.addressing a joint session of Parliament and that state of

:06:09. > :06:14.emergency that is supposed to last for 12 days in a democracy and needs

:06:15. > :06:19.a lot to be extended, it seems there is a consensus and he will ask for a

:06:20. > :06:22.three-month extension. So, the question tonight is whether the UN

:06:23. > :06:26.climate change conference with nearly 197 heads of state in

:06:27. > :06:29.government and 40,000 people coming in delegations to Paris at the end

:06:30. > :06:34.of November and beginning of December, still go ahead. The

:06:35. > :06:40.argument is that it should still go ahead because we shouldn't kowtow to

:06:41. > :06:44.these terrorists. We will talk about the controls on the borders of it

:06:45. > :06:50.later but the very powerful front pages we have seen here, like in the

:06:51. > :06:54.Guardian where we have a number of photographs of people who died, and

:06:55. > :07:02.it strikes you how young they were, out having fun on a Friday night in

:07:03. > :07:05.Paris. Absolutely. Many of the papers went with pictures of the

:07:06. > :07:18.victims and it really hits home just what acute human tragedy this is. --

:07:19. > :07:23.what a huge human tragedy. There is only one British victim as of yet,

:07:24. > :07:29.who is known, but it really brings home, away from all the politics and

:07:30. > :07:33.military strategy, how this affects people there in France and also

:07:34. > :07:41.possibly here in Britain. We have a front page which came into us just a

:07:42. > :07:45.few minutes ago, Liberation, and it is a picture that was taken of the

:07:46. > :07:50.crowd inside the Theatre where that banned from the United States were

:07:51. > :07:53.playing. We don't know quite when this photograph was taken, it could

:07:54. > :08:03.have been a very short time before the attack by those gunmen

:08:04. > :08:07.happened. It is a very moving picture. There were some 15

:08:08. > :08:16.nationalities, Americans, Chilean 's, Polish... There is an

:08:17. > :08:23.international response. The Eiffel Tower is being projected, not just

:08:24. > :08:29.on British buildings but from one side of the planet to the other, and

:08:30. > :08:32.as the French ambassador said, that is deeply touching and I think the

:08:33. > :08:39.French people welcome that solidarity in the midst of this

:08:40. > :08:46.darkness. What is the response in Paris to that show of support all

:08:47. > :08:57.over the world? The French are very deeply touched about this. We have

:08:58. > :09:02.been complaining for the past few months about something that every

:09:03. > :09:07.French politician will bring up, an all-purpose excuse, which is French

:09:08. > :09:13.bashing. This is the end of that. The solidarity is something that is

:09:14. > :09:20.very impressive. As you said, there were 15 nationalities. Liberation

:09:21. > :09:36.has extraordinary 20 pages of reports that they call the

:09:37. > :09:40.Generation BAFTA: -- Bataclan. They are saying this neighbourhood is a

:09:41. > :09:46.place where you are young and you go to meet other people. There is a

:09:47. > :09:51.very strong feeling that France and this way of life has been attacked.

:09:52. > :10:00.The openness of France, those things that people make fun about it but

:10:01. > :10:08.that do exist in French society -- make fun of a bit. A journalist

:10:09. > :10:14.today said France had been targeted because they had a bill against the

:10:15. > :10:26.burqa and key job and they didn't welcome diversity -- hijab. I don't

:10:27. > :10:31.think we should find faults in ourselves, the Faulds came from the

:10:32. > :10:42.assassins who come among us -- faults. Assassins who, if they are

:10:43. > :10:44.radicalized by Islamic State, many Muslims are fleeing the terror they

:10:45. > :10:51.are perpetrating in the Middle East. Let's look at the Metro. France

:10:52. > :11:02.strikes back against the IS. This has already started. Something on

:11:03. > :11:05.Twitter suggested that if they knew where all these things were, why

:11:06. > :11:10.didn't they strike before? Many questions that can be asked. Was

:11:11. > :11:16.this strike planned beforehand and just conveniently fell at this

:11:17. > :11:21.time? Or perhaps these targets are not terribly important but they knew

:11:22. > :11:28.they were there and that they could hit them tonight, so they went ahead

:11:29. > :11:35.and did that as a show of strength. Obviously, the question that is

:11:36. > :11:39.going to emerge is whether it is part of a wider strategy and what

:11:40. > :11:43.they're trying to achieve, and how these are going to work towards

:11:44. > :11:48.that. Those questions still need to be answered once this period of

:11:49. > :11:57.Capitol politicians have in the wake of this tragedy will be answered.

:11:58. > :12:02.Martin on Twitter says, this is a war, but it is ISIS. We're not

:12:03. > :12:05.fighting against a State or a country like we were in World War I

:12:06. > :12:15.or World II. It is a movable target. And on the front of the

:12:16. > :12:20.Times, here is one of the suspects and the title is that he's the

:12:21. > :12:28.world's most wanted. Then the Daily Mail has a picture of him as well

:12:29. > :12:33.next to an individual who came to Europe from Syria as well. Just

:12:34. > :12:37.getting an idea of the young men who are thought to have been involved in

:12:38. > :12:44.these attacks. And the thing is that they call themselves a state but

:12:45. > :12:51.they are a movement and a group with a very twisted ideology. And that is

:12:52. > :12:56.why, here at the BBC, it is called the so-called Islamic State and that

:12:57. > :13:01.France 24 we call them the Islamic State Organisation and I think that

:13:02. > :13:06.is a very important distinction that needs to be made. It is not a small

:13:07. > :13:14.thing to say you are a state. What is crystal clear, as in many of the

:13:15. > :13:22.things that was reported, is that this is a very complex threat and on

:13:23. > :13:26.the one hand, you have a human aspect of what happened in the six

:13:27. > :13:29.premeditated attacks on Friday night, but it could've been so much

:13:30. > :13:36.worse if there hadn't been good security checks at the Stadium, we

:13:37. > :13:41.could've witnessed spectacular casualties. The system worked very

:13:42. > :13:48.well. Columnists, not evacuating people immediately. And the G20 is

:13:49. > :13:56.very portent and quite timely. I'm sure the Foreign Minister would have

:13:57. > :13:58.made France's views quite clear. It is not just military and none of our

:13:59. > :14:02.countries want troops on the ground, but how much do we get involved and

:14:03. > :14:11.how do we do with this threat? And where these people getting the

:14:12. > :14:16.money. --? The Daily Mail says there were two deadly blunders made. That

:14:17. > :14:31.one suicide bomber was allowed to come into Europe from Syria regarded

:14:32. > :14:35.as a refugee, and then sell out the salaam -- Salah Abdeslam was allowed

:14:36. > :14:40.to get past the border. How much pressure will they be under? There

:14:41. > :14:58.is a joint session of Congress tomorrow at Versailles and the

:14:59. > :15:01.question will be how Minority Report you want to get and whether you want

:15:02. > :15:07.to arrest people before they actually commit a crime. There have

:15:08. > :15:18.been calls for radical mosques to be closed, not just under survey

:15:19. > :15:22.loans. -- surveillance. In the very interesting series of reports in

:15:23. > :15:33.Liberation tomorrow morning, there is one that goes into the

:15:34. > :15:48.investigation. Whether the Arab and Muslim citizens who live in a

:15:49. > :15:51.certain neighbourhood want these people put in prison. We have to

:15:52. > :15:58.remember that there is a majority of French Muslim citizens who are just

:15:59. > :16:03.as horrified, who were victims at the Bataclan and on the streets on

:16:04. > :16:08.Friday who don't want to be targeted and stigmatized. They are French and

:16:09. > :16:13.they want to be on the side of the rest of the country. The Daily

:16:14. > :16:22.Telegraph is saying that the EU border crisis is brewing as France

:16:23. > :16:27.demands new controls. I have a message on Twitter that says that

:16:28. > :16:31.the European ideals of politicians are now in tatters. We need more

:16:32. > :16:34.controls and more scrutiny of our borders. It will not just been

:16:35. > :16:53.France where this question is being asked.

:16:54. > :16:54.France but in Germany. Angela Merkel's popularity has plummeted

:16:55. > :17:01.since she invited these people to come to Germany. People in her

:17:02. > :17:04.parties say she has made a big mistake there. Eastern Europe,

:17:05. > :17:07.Poland, they really have a huge problem with the way the migration

:17:08. > :17:17.crisis has been handled with by Germany. And immigration is a huge

:17:18. > :17:21.issue in the UK and it feeds into David Cameron's negotiations with

:17:22. > :17:29.the EU. That was meant to be the top issue on the EU summit in December.

:17:30. > :17:33.It is hard to see how terrorism and security is not going to be on top

:17:34. > :17:37.of the agenda now, but you can bet that David Cameron is going to be

:17:38. > :17:43.using this to try and get a better deal on the principle of free

:17:44. > :17:48.movement within the EU. We don't quite know... It is only two days

:17:49. > :17:56.and we don't know the full picture at all yet. We don't know where this

:17:57. > :18:01.was co-ordinated... People are bound to be very frightened in France at

:18:02. > :18:05.the moment. Yes. That state of emergency that was decreed on Friday

:18:06. > :18:12.night gives the police a lot of arresting powers. They don't have to

:18:13. > :18:15.go via a judge to go into somebody's house. The French police,

:18:16. > :18:22.when you look at the way they stormed the Bataclan, they did not

:18:23. > :18:27.let that fester. They went in there quickly. They did the same thing in

:18:28. > :18:30.January. There is a lot to be said for that kind of swift and firm

:18:31. > :18:35.action and that is what Francois Hollande is really going to have to

:18:36. > :18:45.continue to do. Interesting today, these false alarms. How sad it is to

:18:46. > :18:49.see people at the Place de la Republique, which became such a

:18:50. > :18:55.symbol... Everybody around the world saw those world leaders and those

:18:56. > :19:01.thousands of people marching in solidarity with Charlie Hebdo and

:19:02. > :19:04.then suddenly we saw these people running on live broadcast on British

:19:05. > :19:08.television because they heard what they thought at the time were

:19:09. > :19:12.gunshots. And it is no coincidence that we heard afterwards that it was

:19:13. > :19:17.maybe fireworks that had gone off. And one person told me there had

:19:18. > :19:24.been a false alarm and again it was fireworks. Is this people who are

:19:25. > :19:29.not so subtly supporting the killers and ISIS by actually... How

:19:30. > :19:36.insensitivity is at this moment to be setting any kind of firework! --

:19:37. > :19:40.how insensitive it is. People don't want this to affect daily life but

:19:41. > :19:45.it will, even if it is just because there are lots of army and police on

:19:46. > :19:48.the streets. First of all, we have seen the army in the streets for

:19:49. > :20:03.decades. It started in the 1980s with the bombings in Paris in 1983

:20:04. > :20:08.and then in 1986. 1976, 1978. And in 1995... We have had terrorism for a

:20:09. > :20:13.very long time. Whenever I take the train to go to Avignon, there are

:20:14. > :20:22.young soldiers who are there to make sure nothing happens. That is one

:20:23. > :20:29.thing. The other thing is that I was close to Notre Dame, working at the

:20:30. > :20:39.time of the mass and there was a bomb alert. We had to go around to

:20:40. > :20:43.the place we were broadcasting. The police said they would have an

:20:44. > :20:46.expert in and they would see if it was a bomb or not but the likelihood

:20:47. > :20:51.was that it was just an abandoned bike and not a bomb at all. People

:20:52. > :20:54.are going to be jittery. It makes perfect sense to run if you think

:20:55. > :20:59.that people are going to shoot at you. It may be part of our life but

:21:00. > :21:04.it will only be panic if we are not rational. We will be jittery but we

:21:05. > :21:20.will soldier on in the same way. People were not out in the cafes and

:21:21. > :21:30.so on... There was an amazing feature in Buzzfeed of people in all

:21:31. > :21:35.of those places that were decimated the day before. It was logical to be

:21:36. > :21:40.afraid of something. It only becomes a panic if you allow it to make you

:21:41. > :21:44.give up on moving around the city. Otherwise it is just part of what is

:21:45. > :21:50.going to be our lives. And 2000 extra spies will protect the UK. The

:21:51. > :21:54.government is going to have to mount a mass recruitment drive. How

:21:55. > :21:59.feasible is that? We are seeing lots of figures and talk being thrown

:22:00. > :22:03.around. We should remember the parallels with 9/11 madrigals top

:22:04. > :22:08.that was also the case and we had an under pressure and unpopular

:22:09. > :22:14.president whose people had suffered an atrocity. There was talk about a

:22:15. > :22:19.war against a stateless enemy. And then we had all sorts of

:22:20. > :22:22.infringements on liberty, several unpopular wars and the abominations

:22:23. > :22:33.of Guantanamo Bay, upgrades and extraordinary renditions. -- Abu

:22:34. > :22:35.Ghraib. There will be a lot of strong language but after that, we

:22:36. > :22:42.have to reflect on whether we will learn from this lesson and deal with

:22:43. > :22:46.this in a slightly different way. The Daily Express suggests there are

:22:47. > :22:52.450 jihadis on the loose in the UK, homegrown terrorist planning copycat

:22:53. > :22:56.attacks. -- terrorists. Some of them, the argument is, will have

:22:57. > :23:05.gone to Syria, picked up these deadly skills and brought them home

:23:06. > :23:08.with them. Unfortunately, there are many things that Britain and France

:23:09. > :23:12.co-ordinate on and this is something they have in common as a problem.

:23:13. > :23:19.But I would issue a word of caution. Apparently this morning

:23:20. > :23:21.about Britain's army of homegrown jihadis, this was made by the

:23:22. > :23:27.director of the office for security and counterterrorism in a speech

:23:28. > :23:31.last week. And the details of that emerged only yesterday. And yet this

:23:32. > :23:35.is on the front page of the Daily Express. I think that this comes

:23:36. > :23:39.with a very large caveat. But there is no doubt that these people have

:23:40. > :23:52.gained some skills and the danger is that they are sleepers and... They

:23:53. > :23:56.wanted to decapitate Lee Rigby and they almost did and I think that the

:23:57. > :24:07.company -- country reacted in a very calm manner. They are showing the

:24:08. > :24:14.keep calm and carry on spirit and that will always win fruit. We need

:24:15. > :24:17.joie de vivre on this planet. We don't want scaremongering. But we do

:24:18. > :24:22.need the weapons that are needed, and are not just talking militarily,

:24:23. > :24:29.to face this war we are waging as of now. One final brief word from you,

:24:30. > :24:39.Elizabeth. We are seeing the rebirth of the spirit of Marianne, the

:24:40. > :24:46.embodiment of liberty, in Paris and you are very proud of it. One thing

:24:47. > :24:50.I quote in my column is the 17-year-old son of a friend of mine,

:24:51. > :24:57.who was taken to hospital. He was shot in the gluteus maximus at the

:24:58. > :25:01.Bataclan. He was treated but refused to stay at the hospital because they

:25:02. > :25:06.needed the bed for other people. He told his mother that all he had to

:25:07. > :25:12.do was not sit down for a week and at other people needed the bed

:25:13. > :25:17.more. This was the same kind of youths stigmatised for saying that

:25:18. > :25:21.they use play and they spend all their time on the internet and they

:25:22. > :25:27.are no good. -- user PlayStation and Xbox. They have been stigmatised but

:25:28. > :25:32.they are good people and they are the same young men and women of the

:25:33. > :25:36.French resistance in the 1940s and they are very good young people.

:25:37. > :25:56.Thank you for joining us this evening. Now, the weather.

:25:57. > :26:03.Good evening. If you are just off to bed wondering what is in store, it

:26:04. > :26:06.is more of the same. Slightly quieter tomorrow but this has been

:26:07. > :26:07.the story over the last few
