regular police which is on the scene, but also swot teams. other eyewitnesses said there was a helicopter hovering over head and ambulances were also on the scene. we're hearing reports that the swot teams surrounded a house in the suburb and there was gun fire from outside the house and there was an exchange of gun fire. we're also hearing reports that some police officers were injured in the operation. the town is a suburb in the north of paris. it has a very poor-- it is very poor, a large immigrant community and it's not far from the stade de france where one of the attacks on friday happened. the situation at the moment is that the mayor is calling on residents to stay at home to be careful and also public transport to that suburb has been put on hold for the moment and the whole area is cordoned off

apart from the operation going on there, just bring us up-to-date on the broader police investigation into last friday's attacks. >> reporter: well, a few new details emerged on tuesday. notably, a third vehicle associated with the attacks was found. was found in a north area of paris, not close to where the operation is happening now, but within paris itself. also a key development was the announcement by police that they were, in fact, searching for a ninth suspect. do the maths there. seven attackers killed on friday, most blew themselves up with explosives in their vests. there's one suspect who was named at a very early stage. his photograph has been circulated. his name is salah abdeslam. people have been warned he is extremely dangerous and he should not be approached. another significant development

on friday. salah abdeslam's brother moham med appeared on television. he is not linked or suspected at all. he was appealing to his brother to give himself up. there's now a ninth suspect but we don't have any details on that, we don't have a photograph or a name as yet jack owe row land there in the-- jacky land. bombs have bombed tentative towards a broad alliance. putin has you had ordered the russia navy to work with french forces. france is calling for assistance from other e.u. states using a special treety clause for i the first time ever. >> reporter: it's a political

approach which is the first time to be used. now what is this actually going to mean in practice? well, either taking part in france's operations in syria or iraq or by easing the load or providing support for france in other operations. so lightening our load elsewhere. what i've said to my colleagues is that france can't do everything two air france planes heading from u.s. to paris have been diverted after bomb threats. a plane carrying 497 passengers was flawing from las angeles to salt lake city. all passengers were safe. another flight from dc to paris has been diverted to canada. more now on that breaking story, those raids in the northern suburbs of the french capital of paris. from al jazeera, tristan, what

have you been hearing about these raids? >> reporter: i'm in the center of the suburb right now. there are a lot of police, very high tension. i've got a cop in front of me who has got his weapon drawn. there's reports of a lot of shots around this area. the operation started, apparently, around about 3 o'clock, 3.30 gmt this morning. i've just spoken to a local person who said that they heard many shots, perhaps hundreds fired. so i am right now in an area which is in the center of the suburb right next to the cathedral which is an important landmark here. it is a small town just - it's an extension of paris, basically. it's a suburb of paris. it abutts the city. there isn't really much

difference between this area and paris. it's a couple of kilometres outside the official demarcation of paris. now where i'm standing in the square i can see probably a couple hundred metres down the road fire trucks, what looks like an ambulance, i think, it's difficult to tell from this distance. now standing in front of me i can see maybe two dozen/three dozen police who are very jumpy, very nervous. they're all wearing heavy body armour. some of them have got automatic weapons, some of them have got shot guns. i just made the mistake of passing the bollards that we've apparently all been told to stand behind and a policeman ran towards me very aggressively and told me to get back, get back.

i can see a helicopter flying overahead with its search lights on. i can't hear any gunshots or anything like that, but as i arrived in this square just now, a car started driving towards the police and they - it's probably just a local resident or something. there was no signs that there was anything particularly suspicious, but it was going somewhere they were not happy and they ran towards it with their weapon drawn, and i mean i have no evidence that it was anything other than a passer by, but tensions are clearly very, very high. french media are reporting that this operation was led by a group of the part of the french police which is known as raid, and that is a swot team and an

intervention team. it's the part of the police, for example, that led the raids against maham mod ledder in 2012. they are, according to media reports i've heard on radio france, they were leading some kind of raid on a house and there was a return of fire. there are reports in the french media, no one has confirmed that in the return of fire some police were injured. i'm also see french media reports that the operation is ongoing, but i can't hear any shots or anything like that now. all i can see is heavy police prevention thank you for that in the northern suburbs on that ongoing police raid in the northern suburbs of the presumably the police are still looking for

this ninth suspect who is on the run, who is believed to be involved in the attacks of last friday. it is in the northern suburbs. we will update you on that. now, a football match between germany and the nudistser lands - nudistser lands was called off because of a bomb alert. merkel was due to attend the match of the the police were warned about a possible attacks with explosives. a train was also stopped at the local station and searched. no arrests have been made. u.s. president obama is in the philippines for the apex summit on wednesday. ahead of that he addressed a meeting of business leaders and policy makers in the philippines

capital. the main issue is climate. >> the urgent and growing threat of climate change. a challenge but also, i would argue, an opportunity. no nation is immune to the consequences of a change in climate. but with it's many low lieding islands, coastal regions vulnerable to flooding and land loss, few regions have more at stake in meeting this challenge than the asia-pacific region live from ma narcs la, both the u.s. and chinese presidents broadly spoke with a similar theme. what more have they been saying? >> reporter: well, they were saying, yes, there's a focus on climate change as we heard there from the president. the pt on ping focused on climate change as well, but then they both transitioned into what's being discussed here and

this is economy, it's trade, free trade agreements, the u. s aand china have cheating agreements. the ppt has 12 members. that is going ahead. still some time to get approvals from each respective country's government before that can take the next step, but a lot of talk about cooperation in this region. 60% of global gdp is generated here in asia-pacific. so there's a big focus on that. xi also touched on policy. going back to climate shaping, it's interesting that both leaders touched on the spife when it comes to economy economy because they realised to move forward with the economies in the world, climate change needs to be dealt with. after apex this meeting, last year it was held in beijing, those two leaders signed a landmark deal in reducing carbon emissions. that's something that's going to

be tracked close. it's something on both the radars, but now we're going into these other kind of breakaway meetings and these trade deals are going to be focused on much more thank you for that update. time for a short break here on al jazeera. stay with us. stay with us.

other countries because it's discrimination because of arrests and massive restrictions. the >> reporter: many police the president has taken a high risk strategy. >> my sense is that there will be a demand for revenge. people will ask for more than rhetoric. they will ask for results. we have got to be very careful with this idea of war, also because who will decide when the war is over. >> reporter: right across france there's a mood of defiance and anger really building up now that so many people lost their lives in these attacks, most of them young, and that the attackers were aiming at the very heart of the french way of life. after three days of mourning, part of that way of life

tentatively came back. >> i don't think it's a solution to hide or don't go out or something. because it doesn't make any sense. no, we're not changing habits, but there is something in me which is afraid >> reporter: despite that underlying fear, young person returning to the bars and bistros of this city in a concerted effort to show their defiance the russian government has offered a $50 million reward after revealing that i bomb brought down the metrojet plane in egypt last month. it has stepped up air strikes against i.s.i.l. in syria. from moscow. >> reporter: this was a carefully prepared television event recorded the day before its broadcast on russian tv. putin was greeted by the foreign

chief. according to an analysis, a home-made bomb containing up to one kilogram of tnt detonated in the flight. it explains why parts of the plane were spread over a large area. we can say it was definitely a terrorist act. >> reporter: they rose for a moment of silence before putin delivered a prepared address ears >> translation: we should not apply any time limits. we should know them all by name. we will search for them everywhere, whenever they are hiding. >> reporter: within hours of that brad cast he was taken to a new military command center. there he was briefed on a doubling of strikes against i.s.i.l. and other groups in syria. signs of an emerging partnership with france. the kremlin says putin and the french president agreed to coordinate their syria strikes. putin has instructed his navy to work with french ships in the

there might be other explanations. but that was before following the attacks in paris at the weekend francois hollande is now calling for the very thing putin has been requested for some time, a grand coalition to take on i.s.i.l. >> reporter: acknowledging that russia has about been hit gives moscow a chance to repair at that timered relations with the west. -- tattered relations dozen of u u.s. gephyrins has come about not allowing refugees to stay. it is facing resistance in the wake of the attacks in paris and heightens security concerns in the united states. yemen's present has returned home from saudi arabia. he arrived in the southern port site of aden. he has come back to see a coalition campaign to retake the third largest city from houthi
