moroccan accident is seen here perhaps in syria where he spent time fighting for i.s.i.l., the date is unknown. >> translation: i would like to send a message to those who stayed sitting. stand up, spring, jump, rush for the victory >> reporter: according to european security officials he was among a number of citizens fighting for i.s.i.l. in syria making their way back to the continent to plot attacks and recruit fellow fighters. officers were aware of his presence in attestsens in december because of a phone call he made. he escaped in eastern belgium before travelling back to syria. the satisfaction the french authorities are feeling now is people period some somewhat in the failures leading up to the attacks. abdel hamid abaaoud was implicated in four out of six attempted attacks since spring

2015 all of them this warded by french intelligence, but how different it was last week. >> translation: no information coming from a european country where he could have transited before arriving from france suggesting that he must have got into europe and then continued to france. it was only on november 16 after the paris attacks that an intelligence service from a non-european country signalled that it had been aware of his presence in greece >> reporter: this doesn't do much to reassure french people. >> people are really scared and we have become suspicious of each other. we're now scared at the slightest sounds of ambulance sirens >> translation: nowadays when people see someone with a long beard shirt they think it's a terrorist >> reporter: the mass terre mind of what happened to paris last week, may be dead, but so many people are still in an emotional vacuum of grief and insecurity andrew joins us live from

paris. clearly there's still a lot of pressure on security services to explaining how this man was able to get back into france when he was already on their radar. >> reporter: most certainly. the pressure is building in many directions because you heard in that report that bernard space, the interior minister, is really concerned about the reasons why he did not know or anyone else in france know that abdel hamid abaaoud had actually travelled from syria into europe. he did say that they heard from an external intelligence agency outside of europe that he had been in greece. there have been other sightings in germany, also sightings from moroccan sources, intelligence sources, of him. it's also reported that the

f.b.i. had issued a report saying that they had identified abdel hamid abaaoud as the main terror suspect from brussels who was threatening attacks in europe. there's a lot of talk going on. there's going to be a meeting of e.u. justice ministers and interior ministers in brussels and there will be a lot of discussion on french demands to improve border security, french depends also to have better of passenger information from airlines, something the french have been banging on about for more than 18 months now, but there will be some tough talking in that meeting and also we've heard from the french prime minister talking on french tv only last night saying that he did not know that abdel hamid abaaoud had been in europe, that no-one knew in france.

they don't know how he got here. this is really tempering now any mood of success that abdel hamid abaaoud is now dead the french parliament, of course, has voted to extend the state of emergency tell us more about that. >> reporter: yes. convincing on thursday. 551 votes against only six to put through this extension by three months of the state of emergency. that is really bringing through some draconian legislation. it will give the police powers to search and arrest without going to a judge. it will mean better surveillance, it will mean more phone tapping, a whole wide range of measures including house arrest. varied moves which will improve the french security say in the

tracking of tracking of suspects and also the ability to jail people without charge if they feel that the situation is serious enough. but this whole business of the intelligence is going to grow and grow. there are more and more concerns about the belgium links, about how there was a failure to get salah abdeslam, the so-called eighth suspect. he got out of the country, he was briefly in conversation with french police but they let him go. no-one knows where he is. really what we're seeing now one week on it will be tonight, friday, since these awful attacks. there's really still a mood of p pessimism amongst french people, worries about attacks and how many cells there could be in

paris associated with i.s.i.l. thank you for that. andrew simmons in paris there. st denis is the community where the raids were carried out and the key planner was killed there. they spoke the difficulties of the dated to day lives with our correspondent >> reporter: all his life he has struggled with acceptance. a french algerian background he has never been allowed to assimilate. >> translation: it was always difficult at school. they called me the arab and it has been hard to get a job with the face i have >> reporter: born and raised in france, he sees himself as french, but says his country men and women only identify him as algerian. it was easy for him to deal into drug and slip in despair >> translation: there was no other activity for us, not even

a youth association. there are so many members of the north african community here who need help but the city never have enough money to help them >> reporter: in the wake of the attack, many muslims in this city feel alone. in neighborhoods like this resentment is growing just as past as fear. people tell us they're worried that negative attitudes towards muslim throughout france many only harden. at the same time they were afraid to tell us that on camera. this man tells me it's easy to see why so many muslims in france feel alienated. >> from kinder garth garthen-- kindergarten you are dealt

differently. so people are treated differently. there are different groups who pray on these weak elements to turn them into home grown terrorists >> reporter: so long as the french government doesn't address the underlying causement of disen-france shiesment and--. drurg advertise troubled youth he dreamt of a day when things would improve, a day when he would have a family of his own. now, though, while happy to be employed and married, he finds himself far more concerned about his two children and the future they will face than he ever was for himself malaysian authorities have tightened security ahead of a regional summit in kualalumpur. at least 2000 army personnel have been stationed in the capital city hosting the summit. leaders have begun to arrive for

the south east asian nation meet over the weekend. u.s. president obama will also be attending the ten nation summit. chinese security forces have killed 28 people it described as terrorists. it follows a massive man hunt over two months. the killings took place in the western region home to a vast muslim community. the local government says those killed belongd to the group behind an attack on a coal mine in september. police in east china's province have buffeted the country's largest underground bank scandal. illegal funds of nearly 64 billion dollars were transferred overseas. 100 suspects from eight gangs have been detained since the investigation started last year. tell us more about the underground banking system. what does it do?

>> reporter: the underground banking system is nothing new in china. what is different now is the amount of money that's now leaving the country illegally. it is capital flight on a massive scale. why do we have an underground banking system? one of the reasons is that china has tight currency controls which means a chinese sit zents p zen can take no more than $50,000 u.s. out of the country each year. these underground operators work this way. they get your money out of the money out of using dummy companies to which they make legal transfers. it is a shady business, a very shady area. so reliable data is hard to come by but here is an indication of just how series things are. in august china's foreign exchange reserves fell by more than 93 billion dollars and in september they fell by another

43 billion dollars. that's why the government is worried and has these underground bank operatives now in its financial cross hairs. the reason why you're seeing this mass flight of capital is that those with the money and the means to get their money out of china have no confidence in the short-term or even long-term economic outlook of this country. that's why you're seeing so many wealthy chinese buying properties in places like sydney, hong kong, london and new york thank you for that. adrian brown in beijing there. al jazeera learned the australian navy has turned away a boat of asylum seekers. it was within 200 metres of christmas island. it is being escorted back to sea by the navy. the australian government is refusing to comment on the reports. andrew thomas from sydney. >> reporter: we've spoken to a number of people who live on christmas island and saw this boat early morning friday their

there have been cases where boats have been turned back in international waters, the crew even paid to turn around around take their passengers back to indonesia. it was intercepted from shore well inside the waters. what happens to them on board from here? we will see, but an impraft from australia's government starting next month saudi arabia will try to unite syrian opposition groups. the country will host a december conference aimed at ending syria's nearly five year civil war. let's hope the talks will establish a good transitional government. that will open the way for the drafting of a new constitution and u.n. supervised elections. still to come on the program, france's lower house of government votes to extend the state of emergency. five people killed in two separate attacks in israel and

across party lines. >> translation: it's not the solution exclusively, but it's one of the solutions which allows our security forces to work in a more efficient manner. >> translation: we could always go further. one could always do more. this law that we're voting on will allow us to go further. >> reporter: so the government has a strong hand. president francois hollande, a man with historically low ratings a year ago, finds that his tough response meets with broad approval. for now. >> so the question will remain in the mind of the opinion public which is why can we find so many weapons in five days and not a single one during the last ten months? these type of questions will come and come again. >> reporter: in the grandeur of the national assembly as france's security forces are empowered in their pursuit of

suspects, there is reason for disquiet, not only in the threats that may listening anger or the challenge to human rights, but in the pages of history. remember this, the moment a republican u.s. president heard the whispered news about the 911 attacks and this when the minister heard something last week. their politics different, the reaction the same. >> translation: france is at war. the acts committed on friday evening at paris at the stade de france are acts of way war. 129 dead and numerous juried. it is an aggression against this country, against youth and lifestyle. >> reporter: how far is france prepared to go to wage this war. it may be worth remembering what happened the last time a western leader called for a war on terror

finding here in belgium is a disjointed approach between different areas and different police forces. so we've come here to a place here where the mayor has a different idea to his counterparts elsewhere in prisms. the mayor-- brussels. the mayor was weeks into his new job when he got a visit from belgian intelligence officers. they warned him that his town had a problem with radical elements. instead of leaving it to law enforcements, he set up a comprehensive program of intervention. fore nearly two years now not one local youth has left to join i.s.i.l. >> you have to open your eyes. you have to put out your head out of the sill. i hope-- soil. i hope that the awful things that happened in paris now, that the eyes are open, that they will support these local communities to do their job because radicalism, you win it or lose it on the corners of the
