10:01 pm
authorities knew about them beforehand. >> plus the people say the pen won't be silenced. massive crowds are taking a stand against terrorism. >> the french president say ises freedom will prevail. >> translator: we must unite against this and we will win. >> francois hollande declares a national day of mourning. >> then we look at the victims like stephane charbonnier, magazine editor who wouldn't back down. >> i am zain asher. we want to welcome our viewers in the united states and around around the world. thank you so much for sticking with us. >> indeed. i'm errol barnett. at this moment, it's 7:00 a.m. in paris. pa riggss parisians waking up from what may have seemed like a terrible nightmare. this is the deadliest terrorist
10:02 pm
attack in france in decades. >> police have launched a massive manhunt for two brothers they believe are behind the shooting rampage. a lot of that manhunt is happening in the champagne region of france. that attack left 12 people dead at the offices of a weekly satire magazine "shar leecharlie hebdo." a news agency reported that a third suspect has indeed surrendered. >> jim bitterman, following the twists and turns in all of this. joins us now live from paris. jim, there are many layers to what happened within 24 hours ago. still quite fresh. everyone waking up to the day after. the french president i understand is set to hold a crisis meeting as the hunt for suspects continue. what new information can you tell us? >> well let me just start there. the president has called on former president sarkozy to come
10:03 pm
to the palace. it's the first time he's back in the presidential palace since he left office in 2012. and basically the president is trying to show unity, basically trying to instill an idea of unity. the french are waking up this morning to some rather dramatic and stark headlines in the newspaper. here's the nationwide newspaper. it says freedom assassinated but they had trouble with what went on because they said they won't kill the freedom in france. and most unusually here's a sporting newspaper which normally does nothing but sports news it its headline said freedom 0, barbary, 12. the search for the two mothers, 32 and 34 years old, the police are searching in a number of
10:04 pm
different locations. they have a reason to suspect at least one of these brothers apparently according to press reports apparently left his id card in one of the cars that were used yesterday after the attack. and so police were able to track him down that way. at least that's the story that's circulating in the press this morning. the younger brother was known to police. he served a sentence for three years in prison. he served about 12 or 14 months of that before being released back in 2008. he was known to be involved in a terrorist cell here that was recruiting young people to go to iraq at the time. according to the terrorist experts in france who are talking quite a bit about these two this morning.
10:05 pm
>> remarkable that he may have indeed left his id in the getaway car. you know jim, they have raised the terror alert there in france. tell us about the heightened police presence there in paris. what are you noticing this morning? >> one of the things that's most striking this morning is that authorities wanted this to be seen because they arranged for cameras to be at the airport, which is the third airport in the paris area not used for commercial flights, but private flights. military aircraft with troops actually french troops being flown into paris to back up the troofs that have already been on the streets here. now the french have been able to see on the streets here military patrols backing up the plils.
10:06 pm
i have already seen a number of extra police on duty. police vehicles going from one side of town to the other. there's definitely a heightened police presence in the subways and particularly in the area where the attack took place. there's definitely a sense they are on more of a war footing than before. they are on a high level of terrorist alert even before the attack. >> jim bitterman, live for us this morning in paris. jim, you've worked with cnn, being based there for a long time. when you say this is something you haven't seen before that serbly means something. we'll connect with you over the next few hours. and you have to imagine both the people in paris seeing the increased police presence and what sounds like a more militarized stance the deputy major of paris says the
10:07 pm
parisians will not be afraid. >> and the attack is drawing sharp condemnation from leaders from around the world. take a listen. >> the fact that this was an attack on journalists, an attack on our free press also underscoring underscoring freedom of speech and freedom of the press. but one thing that i'm very confident about is that the values that we share with the french people a people in freedom of expression is something that can't be silenced. because of senseless violence of the few. >> nothing can legitimatize this terrorism. such incidences should be prevented from triggering tensions that are already mounting. >> we must never allow the values that we hold dear of
10:08 pm
democracy, of freedom of speech to be damaged by these terrorists. we must stand against what they have done. and i feel huge sympathy for everyone in france particularly the families of those who lost loved ones. >> translator: what has happened in paris today is indeed a barbaric attack against all of the values we share. all of us in europe strongly condemn these attacks. our thoughts go out to the french people and particularly those who have lost loved ones in this horrendous attack. >> demonstrators around the globe have taken to the with candles and signs and produced a very visceral attack to people who live there in france. many holding up pens. this is all about freedom of speech. >> take a look at the scenes in london where about 700 people gathered in trafalgar square lighting candles for the victims. one asked why a journalist pen could be considered such a weapon. in the u.s., a small group of protesters carrying signs with
10:09 pm
the #notafraid. that happened in boston. protesters also showed support in montreal madrid berlin and rio. >> meantime thousands of people across france are voicing their support. many chanting we are charlie. how they're going about getting their messages across. take a listen. >> what this is in essence is a demonstration for freedom of the press, freedom of speech and liberty. those are the words that you keep hearing. many are simply holding pens into the air to show is the pen will not be silenced by violence.
10:10 pm
nonetheless, people we spoke to in the protest say they're absolutely shocked by the events and compare them to some of the worst terrorist attacks in history. >> i'm in the same mood as the day of 9/11. of course, it's nothing to be compared but the same symbol in the heart of our live and of our democracy and of our liberty and freedom. >> it's really important. so i thought it was important just to go out and be there. >> there's a clear message. all these people say all of us are charlie hebdo, which means the entire nation stands behind the satirical magazine. at the same time it is a very respectful protest. a sea of candles spell out this
10:11 pm
message, i am charlie. now, one of the really interesting things about this protest is that while it's very loud it's very emotional, at the same time there's absolutely no anti-islamic or anti-muslim sentiment here. people say they realize that this is not happening in the name of islam, but these are simply terrorists. >> it's not a question of religion. it's a question of saying no. no to violence no to some kind of imperialism and to say no, no, no, no. >> freedom of expression is what these people are saying. people are saying their values are going to remain strong but they also realize that these chals are indeed very much in danger. radicals are going to try to use these events for their purposes.
10:12 pm
that's one of the reasons why they came out here to make their statement that the civil society in france will not be brought down on this day. >> and muslim leaders in france quickly and strongly condemned the attack. the president of the french council of the muslim faith says it was the leaders of each religious community who wanted to express the feeling of community. take a listen. >> we want to say how much we feel the necessity to do anything we can, each of us in our community. if we can say in our religious family to mobilize the faithful and to carry this feeling of togetherness of living together and at the same time of prevention. >> our coverage of the paris
10:13 pm
terrorist attacks continues. >> we'll get reaction from the french president after this.
10:14 pm
10:15 pm
>> we want to break down what we
10:16 pm
know for you so far about the terrorist attacks in paris. the youngest terrorist suspect hamyd mourad 18 years old has so far surrendered to police but we heard he had an alibi as well. we'll look into that. >> looking to confirm that report. jim bitterman did allude to that earlier. you're seeing here the two suspects that police have identified. they say cherif and said are brothers. a massive manhunt is under way to find them. l be flying at
10:17 pm
half staff. >> nicolas sarkozy was asked to participate in the meetings. to block and unite with these values, unity, uniteding together with all forms, that is what our response must be. we must unite against this and we will win because we have all the capacities to believe in ur destiny. several people managed to record video of the attackers as they fled the building.
10:18 pm
>> heavily armed gunmen burst into a lunchtime editorial meeting in the office of a french is asatirical magazine "charlie hebdo." to gain entrance they asked two maintenance men for the where the offices were and then open fired on them. >> we saw a number of casualtys was very high. >> many in the building ran to the roof. this video shows the attackers as they fled. >> according to a witness they shouted and they said that we've taken revenge against the prophet. >> the gunmen, hooded and masked zreszed in black, speaking in french. during the escape, video
10:19 pm
captured one of the gunmen executing a policeman as he lay on the ground. approaching the getaway car, a gunman can be seen raising his finger in the air. a western source says authorities are speculating he may have been signaling to another car or more attackers. "charlie hebdo" is known for sometimes mocking islamic terrorists and the prophet mohammed. those cartoons sparked protests and in 2011, their offices were fire bombed. in 2013 al qaeda's magazine "inspire" published a wanted dead or alive poster that included one of the magazine's cartoonists. he was killed in today's attack. shortly after the shooting police impounded what's believed to be the getaway car. >> three of them apparently
10:20 pm
escaped very quietly. >> by night fall across france people expressed their grief and solidarity. silently holding this sign "i am charlie." >> there does appear to be shock and sadness across the world after the worst attack for decades. eeeeeeeeee financial noise financial noise financial noise financial noise

10:22 pm
10:23 pm
know they will not be able to succeed by killing us, killing someone for drawing, for writing, for expressing an opinion. >> different people from around the world expressing the same opinion there, shock and outrage for a brutal terror attack on a magazine headquarters in paris. it has left 12 people dead. 11 others are wounded. four of them in serious condition at this hour. and police are conducting a nationwide manhunt for those responsible. >> take a look at the image. they release these photographs of two men, both of them brothers in their early 30s. they believe they may be behind this attack. police say they are on the run. they've launched a manhunt in the champagne region of paris. now the video shows two masked men fleeing the scene wednesday stopping to shoot a police
10:24 pm
officer lying wounded on the seahawk. >> we should note that charlie hebdo as a controversial history of depicting the prophet mohammed in is a tier yal cartoons. yet despite this tension, muslims are condemning the murders in paris. if. >> several prominent demands in france came up quite quickly to condemn the attack. i arab league did, saudi arabia did. so that the mosque in cairo, probably the most important mosque in sunni islam. this outpouring of anger of dismay y et again has come up. and indeed as you would expect after all, across the world, with islamic ter rof, the largest number of victims is almost always muslims. so muslims feel the pain of
10:25 pm
terrorism to a degree that the rest of us can't even begin to understand. the double whammy of having your people killed and having them killed in the name of your god and your faith. >> weem around the world react ing ing. >> using various hashtags and phrases. what's being said online about this horrible attack. >> people rely exprezzing themselves. but also, show solidarity really on social media. not just on twitter, but also on facebook. let me start with twitter. the more tweets you're seeing
10:26 pm
north america europe as it's waking up now is about half past 7:00 in paris and also south american middle east really featuring featuring we are charlie, also trending quite heavily on social media. in the last 24 hours, we have seen on twitter a lot of cartoonists, famous cartoonists going back to the drawing board, putting pen to paper in a tribute to their colleagues. but we've also seen cnn ireporters giving us their thoughts saying we will not be silenced. this is from jim brenman who drew this picture. the next one, very similar as well. two bullet holes with blood dripping down that piece of paper. we have also seen two of our senior correspondents writing
10:27 pm
and drawing. jake tapper drew this picture with the #je suis charlie. thinking of our friends across the way and that's the eiffel tower. no matter the language, the sentiment was being universal. you know these drawings should not have led to violence. zain and errol. >> it's not just cartoonists and journalists we've seen reacting but also relatives and family members of those who died. >> we'll check in with her over the next few hours as well. next we'll take you live to paris for the latest on the investigation and how france is responding to the deadliest day it's seen in decades.

10:30 pm
>> welcome back. we're keeping you updated on the terror attack in paris. here's some of the latest information we have for you. the french ps has now called a government crisis meeting. the ministers will be there. that's set to start one hour from now. the. >> the french news agency is reporting one of the three suspects the youngest the 18-year-old in the attack has
10:31 pm
surrendered to others. two others the older brothers are on the run. witnesses say gunmen entered the ufs offices of charlie hebdo. they began asking for people by name. 12 people total. killed in this attack. >> jill, we have this crisis meeting in about one hour from now. the search for the suspects continues. what's the newest information you have for us this morning? >> this search is what people have concentrated on. there's been an apartment search here and in the pearce suburbs and also an hour or so away from paris in the east in the champagne country. there was a lead in that direction from one of these two men that they're searching for.
10:32 pm
they're pretty well known to police. the 32-year-old who was picked up after his activities in 2005 when he was found guilty he went off to fight against the americans in iraq. he was part of a terrorist cell and was brought to court and charged with a conspiracy to commit terrorism. he was sentenced to three years in prison served about half of that sentence before mefs released in 2001. it's not clear what happened to him and where he had gone. the older of the two brothers had a police record but not a very long one, and feign mainly one of small crimes and misdemeanors. but the two of them had been on the police dockets. and apparently according to one press report this morn the
10:33 pm
reason the police are so suspicious of these two and trying to track them down is because one of them apparently left his id card in the getaway car and they were able to track him through that. errol? >> i heard you mention that earlier, that he may have left his id card and that's how they were able to track him. now, you know france clearly today is in a state of mourning. we know that president francois hollande says flags are going to be flying at half staff. talk to us about the mood there in paris. >> flags will be at half staff not only today but for three days. and today has been declared a national day of mourning. there will be a moment of silence at 11:00 in the morning. children are going to be broken into classes so they can observe this moment of silence. there's a crisis meeting going on that we mentioned earlier. one of the most tartling sights for me that game out of the air
10:34 pm
airport earlier this morning when hundreds of troops arrived. french military carriers flew them in and to back up the police on the streets here. it's unusual to see french military being flown in to back up the police. we've seen the police for many years now because of the heightened level of concern about terrorism. this is pretty dramatic that they're flying troops into the french capital to help reassure people at least that the fight on terrorism continues here. >> and they've been resolute their way of life won't change. but you have to think there, jim, as they see this after witnessing what happened yesterday and seeing this kind of more robust presence, you can't help but be unnerved by that. we can't help but check in with you the developments this morning. jim bitterman in paris for us. >> in the meantime wednesday's bloodshed follows a spring of attacks. it started december 20 when a man allegedly shouting god is
10:35 pm
great stabbed three policemen at a police station. he was shot dead. counterterrorism authorities are investigating that incident opinion the next day a driver rammed into a crowd of pedestrians, injuring flooes 12 people. witnesses say he was shouting god d great in arabic as well pep and on december 22 a van plowed into shoppers at a christmas market leaving one man dead and several people injured. the driver then stabbed himself. authorities say it appeared to be an isolated case and not a terrorist attack. for a better understanding of ex extremeism and how to battle it i'm joined by the manager of the against violence extremist network, which is a global group of former extremists and survivors of extremists violence. so i have to ask you, in 2014 we saw a change in terrorism
10:36 pm
tactics used. it evolved into more sort of lone wolf attacks. we saw the sydney siege, the hostage crisis there in sydney. the attack in ottawa as well. how does the west change its strategy to deal with these lone wolf attacks? >> yeah we have. we have seen a shift now. partially due to strategy and partially due to our success at disrupting more complex attacks towards these kinds of as you mentioned, kind of lone wolf, lower tech type of attacks. it doesn't set off the traditional trip wires. what the west needs to be doing is in addition to more robust policing methods, we also need to start taking the battle of ideas online and offline much more seriously. and if we can't stop all of these attacks in their tracks.
10:37 pm
there's an area where there's a lot of room for us to potentially expand and do much more work. >> you know ross in terms of reaction on social media, people are saying listen, while we don't condone what's happening, they say listen we believe that magazine charlie hebdo went far sometimes in terms of satire. what's your take on that. >> i mean, of course, this particular magazine as many other satirical publications do it means you defend speech you might not necessarily agree with all the time.
10:38 pm
you defend speech you might consider to be offensive. but anyone who looks a this the particular magazine and says oh well maybe they pushed their boundaries too far and brought this upon themselves and it's actually at risk of undermining the very values of these extremists wish to undermine in the first instance. so i think talk like that is a little bit dangerous and also shows a lack of understanding of the types of things that brings attacks like this on to nations such as france. >> just france and england, they both have muslim populations. what is the solution here in working towards a more integrated integrated and a more inclusive >> in long
10:39 pm
standing all the back to times. like wise in uk, although not with colonial times and when you talk the solution we have almost everything since 9/11 when it comes to force. we've invasion we've tried drones, techniques and that hasn't actually in a tried tested way a serious effort to counterthe of extremeists like this on line and offline. mean advertising training of community workers every video extremist is producing of content they're producing content the other and there are members of the muslim the wider community uk that ready to do to. and some examples from our own organization for dialogue
10:40 pm
of this being successful. but we need to take this from a few small examples to mass
10:41 pm
our eyes... they have a 200-degree range of sight. which is good for me, hey! ... and bad for the barkley twins. your brain can send information to the rest of your body at 268 mph. three times the speed of a fastball. take care of your most important parts with centrum. multivitamins expertly designed with nutrients people don't get enough of from food alone. centrum. for the most important parts of you. hello... i'm an idaho potato farmer and our big idaho potato truck is still missing. so my buddy here is going to help me find it. here we go. woo who, woah, woah, woah.

10:46 pm
10:47 pm
it was about 2:00 in the morning and i just sketched that out to express how i felt before i
10:48 pm
turned off the television. when i was a little more to that point. >> has anything surprised you about the way people have responded to this image? >> i don't think it's -- it's the same for so many other cartoons. i think people are expressing their solidarity of cartoonists around the world and for the family and friends in france. >> charlie hebdo known for being provocative in france. one of their recent controversies came as they published a cartoon of mohammed. there were pro-tests over a trailer about a movie on islam. what are your feelings about how far they pushed the envelope and if in that instance they went
10:49 pm
too far. >> as far as i'm concerned at this point in time nothing justifies the killing of innocents. i have a particular view on the cartoon. i do satire which is to focus on those in power and those who would s a s aascede to power like the extremists we saw last night. we have a great example here in australia, just after the siege that happened in sydney not that long ago. and there was a social media movement which began to reach out to people in the community and say muslim or nonmuslim in this community, we're all outraged with what's happened and we're going to stick together. it was the i'll ride with you campaign. it showed the best of us.
10:50 pm
showed a great response to extremists on both sides who like to take advantage of the situation. >> social solidarity certainly one of the benefits when we all kind of experience and watch tragedies like this. more conch after this short break. stay with us. sunday dinners at my house... it's a full day for me, and i love it. but when i started having back pain
10:51 pm
my sister had to come help. i don't like asking for help. i took tylenol but i had to take six pills to get through the day. so my daughter brought over some aleve. it's just two pills, all day! and now, i'm back! aleve. two pills. all day strong, all day long. and now introducing aleve pm for a better am.
10:52 pm
10:53 pm
>> today declared a national day of morning for the 2 people killed in the paris terrorist attack. >> he will be holding a crisis meeting with government officials in the next hour. jim bitterman joins us live where people are waking up to the day after. what information do you have on analysts and experts are starting to provide some insight into what took place yesterday. >> one of the most interesting things that has come out today is looking at what experts are looking at for example, the way the police car with was shot up yesterday. multiple bullet holes but very tightly grouped. they say someone had to be trained in handling an automatic weapon to have done something like that. sort of a profession nap and as efficient as this terrorist operation seemed to be yesterday up to the point of execution,
10:54 pm
the get away awarntly was not particularly well planned. they had an accident as they drove away. they had to abandon their car and carjack another car. and then what we're hearing this morning is police were able to identify these two suspects bah because of aidentity car left behind in one of the cars. the question is what about the afterwards. so they left a trail behind that may allow police to pick them up at some point. >> perhaps it wrunt as well planned as it appeared. >> france lost some of its most prominent cartoonists in wednesday's ram pain. this photoa few years ago in clearly happier times. >> five people in that image are now gone.
10:55 pm
we end this hour with a look at some of the other late cartoonists and their work. here's our isha sissa. >> stephane charbonniershashcharbonnier was named as one of the al qaeda's most wanted but he never backed down. tlarl one has the impression that everyone is driven by fear. that's what a small handful of fundamentalists wants to do, gerch by fear. >> he was one of the most famous and prolific cartoonists. his work poked one at cartoonist cartoonists and public figures but he also put his pen to paper for more outrageous effect in publications like "charlie
10:56 pm
hebdo." bernard was also killed. he was 58 years old opinion and jean cabot was "charlie hebdo" lead cartoonist. in 2012 he told a french magazine that sometimes laughter can hurt. but laughter, humor and mockery are our only weapons. ther curl up with their favorite man. but here's the thing: about half of men over 40 have some degree of erectile dysfunction. well, viagra helps guys with ed get and keep an erection. and remember, you only take it when you need it.
