4:04 pm
gunshots and fireworks. >> enjoying the concert and had what we thought -- what i thought were fire crackers at the front. i saw the bullets hitting the stage and instantly knew it was gunfire. police prepare to storm the building. a pushback and a hail of bullets. it was here where one of the killers left a vital clue, a cephered finger that allowed investigators to identify him as 29-year-old french national ismael mustifi, one of three men who blew himself up. this is cochoran where the french national of algerian dissent lived until the age of 21. it's a quiet, somewhat anonymous town far from a deprived suburb. he was known to the authorities as a petty criminal but never spent any time in prison n 2010,
4:05 pm
the police flagged him as being a strong candidate for radicalization. he is one of 3 arrested in connection with the killings. please are looking at whether he had traveled to syria and had contact with isil. at the local mosque, we meet someone who knew him. he said he came from a good family. >> i am really shocked. yes expect it at all. you just don't believe it when it's someone you know. he think the government has failed to integrate young muslims. >> we are french. when we do something that accepts them, we are foreign. france needs to integrate people. >> the mayor of the town had this to say: sorry for saying it like this but we don't good a damn. a kid from our country, a french kid, could have become what he became. >> several of his family members have been detained by police for
4:06 pm
questioning. al jazeera, paris. >> davidchater is live in pace for us. >> a difficult day for parisias. ? >> yes. you can see behind me now a lot more people were afraid. another stack was underway but a show of defiance here despite trepidation many fem because of -- many feel because of the manhunt t police say nobody must go near him. exactly where is he? is he still in paris? or has he escaped to be belgium they will show a strength in the way their lives will continue despite the attack on friday.
4:07 pm
many more acomplaces might be around france but the details are quite obscure. >> we have also got new reports now of potentially iraqi intelligence that warned of possible attacks. what do we know on that score? these are reports coming out on the ap wires and also from an article until harrods, one of the leading israeli liberal newspaper. this says something remarkable. it says that the french were warned that 19 fighters have been trained in raqaa and ordered by isil's leader to attack france. the 19 fighters 7 have been accounted for. one is still free. >> leaves a number who are still at large. where are they? what are they going to do?
4:08 pm
the intelligence report says that these team of 19 men were also supported by five other people who were the support network. these are the people, the accomplices which the people will look for. this perhaps explains why the french defense ministry is now reporting that they are flying dozens of air sortees over a al raqaa where this team was traini trained. the danger is: where are those other men in the 19 man group? where are they? what are their plans for attack? this is a very delicate situation, but it seems that the french intelligence services were informed. exactly when, we don't know but they were informed this was an attack ordered from the top of isil. >> david nicholas sarkozy has been giving his view on what
4:09 pm
needs to happen necessary. what did he say? >> it's not an exactly helpful intervention at this time by the former french president but he's been known for his outspoken views both on immigration, refuge refugees. he might help stoke the divisions and the rides of the right-wing here in france at the moment. let's hear about what he had to say about those people who have been put on the radicalization list. here is what he said. >> i said to the president it seemed to me we need to build an statemented response which means a retashaping of our foreign policy. decisions made at the european level and draftic policies. europe has to regauge control and determine the conditions for new immigration policy. we can't say there is a link but
4:10 pm
we do have to ask the question. >> david, i am thinking in the days and weeks that come when the country and everybody is feeling tender, it will be key for french authorities to make sure they tread carefully and lightly and don't let division take hold. >> exactly. the i mpact that isil hoped to make by launching this appalling attack in the center of paris was to try and fracture french society, to try to make divisions in french society. the people behind me are here to make sure that that doesn't happen interventions from the former president sarkozy saying there should be some form of internment of radicalized muslim communities will not help attempts by francois hollande to try to keep everything together,
4:11 pm
keeping france representing values it has always represented. davidtion thank you. >> live now to paul brennan in brussels for us. what's been happening in belgium? why the link in the investigation? i am here the prosecute ors. the clear connections now that there are between belgium and the attackers who started the bataclan, restaurants and other sites there in paris. the wanted man, for example, the name that's been publicized, sala aslam, 26 years old. he is born here in brussels. although he has french nationality, he has firm connections and close connections to an area of brussels with a predom namently
4:12 pm
muslim population. it's there the investigators are concentrating efforts at the moment. a team of french investigators and security personnel are now working hand-in-hand effectively with the belgian counterparts. french have come here to brussels to work in close collaboration and they are looking not just at this one man but inc. investigating the potential that there was a much wider conspiracy network going on here. there would have been somebody who buithose suicide vests for example. there would have been somebody that provided the weapons and went about plotting and deciding on the targets. what the security services are trying to do is to clean up all of those loose ends with a hugh amount of urgency. >> i guess that means some difficult questions for bell january authorities and have they stopped this happening on
4:13 pm
their soil? one carried out in one place and another? >> the fact is this is not the first time connections with bbe have had tragic consequences. this is the 5th time major terror plots have had connections. train attacker who tried to attack that train and was overpowered by those american servicemen got on the train here in brussels with magazines. now we have this attack in paris, with connections to this belgian suburb. the enter minister said frankly enough is enough. he's described this particular suburb as a giej antic problem and says there has to be action now. many would say it's long
4:14 pm
overdue, that the belgians perhaps could have worked harder at this issue a lot earlier. the fact is that photographer ie and belgium are effected. >> france pledged it will step up airstrikes. the french defense ministry said it has been conducting strikes on raqaa in syria. france said it hit target sites. joining us live from plus els is ambassador mark perini, the former ambassador. a warm welcome to the program. what do you think these attacks tell us about current i want s strategy? >> i think we have seen a string of massive attacks by isil.
4:15 pm
in ankara, the airliner, and now in paris. what's new with the paris attacks is that for the first time, we have suicide bombers operating on eu territory. car bombs, et cetera, et cetera, but never suicide bombers. multiple attacks, coordinated in brussels as you just explained. so this is the much more serious. we failed. there was hostility from within. come back but now, it is a deliberate plan, and as you know, in france, the political leadership uses the word war, war from within now. >> ambassador, why have we been so devoid of effective policy when it comes to dealing with isil? i think first of all, for a long time, the west has been hesitant
4:16 pm
about what to do this is being revised. the russian intervention two months ago has changed the game. so we will have more coordination. some sort of intelligence sharing with the syrian regime and then a very big concern is, of course, the turkish syria border. efforts have been made. france in particular has made efforts, has graduated with turkey but for four years, the border has been open. >> that's a major concern discussed at the g20. >> what does it mean for eu intelligence services? does it mean we will see more cooperation? i am guessing there is quite a lot already. does it mean a different sort of cooperation for security services given attacks in this
4:17 pm
case were potentially planned in one place and carried out in another? >> yeah. perhaps with more responsibilities elsewhere like suspicion of somebody coming from german with weapons. so far, there is counterterrorism coordination. but as you know these responsibilities are national. they are not under treatees. and also they depend upon different services son-in-law is please. some is intelligence service. there is going to be a major revamp okay this inevitably because the political impact of carnage like on friday in paris is massive in france, in belgium and europe. >> what kind of impact does it have about eu reffun e policy? >> alas, probably a negative
4:18 pm
impact because so far, we would have easily or rather easily sprald the asylum seekers, peoples fleeing for their life from terrorrists. if ever it is proven and we are cautious of course, isarian national, we don't know yet because a lot of traffic with syrian passport, blank syrian passport, but if ever it is proven, is going to slow down and dampen the generosity of some eu governments. also, it will complicate matters with the eu turkey refugees mark pirini. thank you for your analysis. >> thank you for having me. >> still to come on the al jazeera newshour: >> i think that was one of the worst foreign policy blunders in the modern history of the united states. >> why the legacy of the iraq

4:20 pm
beach in tunisia and the suicide bomb inns ankara and beirut last week. all of these attacks claimed by isil. all of that casting a long shadow over this g20 summit. >>ra minute's silence. in paris, turkey and further afield. this is supposed to be a submit about the global economy but the threat from issim is on everyone's minds. from the host, a suggestion that turkey, a reluctant partner might now do more. >> we had to more strong lyn and determinedly express astie our cooperation in combatting terrorism. barack obama says the united states will step up efforts to eliminate isil in syria. >> it's an attack on the

the ground cooperation between russia and the u.s. russia says it's fighting isil but focusing ol groups opposed to bash arrear al-assad. we have had the first hints that isil might now be facing a more coordinated fight back. bernard smith, al jazeera of the g 20 summit in antalia. >> german's chancellor emphasized the importance of ing boarder controls. >> in france, of course, it is now a case of working with the security forces and authorities to find out who the perpetrators are, who their accomplices are and what lengths there may be. above all, we owe that to the victims and their loved ones,
4:23 pm

4:25 pm
leadership from the bush administration. >> it wasn't just to acknowledge a mistake, does that go far enough? certainly, we can acknowledge it contributed to the instability in the region? >> ultimately, but that's the kind of thing that voters decide. >> reporter: in february, iowans will get their chance when the state holds the nation's first presidential nominating contest. >> there were domestic issues discussed in the second democratic debate. given it comes just one day after the paris attacks, positions os combatting eisel are what is are making headlines. >> egyptian police found the bodies of 15 refugees who were is shot in the sinai "penguins of madagascar." 8 others were injured. the migrants were caught in the crossfire between egyptian security forces. police in lebanon arrested nine
