a hero and saying that today harrison has a name and a face and one of the people speaking out today was his brother cedric who was talking to francis r.t.l. radio. on he's gone as a hero i think what he did goes beyond the commitment to his job beyond values he gave his life for someone else for a stranger. it's not even for someone from his family he gave his life for strangers. he was well aware he had almost no chance. he was very aware of what he was doing he kept his professional reflexes using his mobile phone. i think if we don't describe him as a hero i don't know what you need to do to be a hero but he did what needed to be done and thanks to him many lives were saved. was. the moving words of cedric beltran was a brother of the policeman who took place what took the place rather of the last

remaining hostage speaking on french radio salissa back to you what more do we know about the nobel training. well we know that he was forty five years old i was married didn't have any children he was known for his bravery really from very early on from when he was actually doing his police training people who are saying he is someone who will never back down will fight until the end in two thousand and five he was sent to iraq as a parachutist and afterwards received a military medal for that and after that he was actually attached to the ne the palace and was c'mon the in the republican guard that is guarding the elysee palace and then obviously about last year late last year according to local press reports he was participating in an exercise that was staging an attack just like happened last night and yesterday actually as an attack on a supermarket now following that attack

a lot more difficult to detect so how is france standing with this latest attack. well as i said people are really a pauper laying down flowers in front of the john the money down there in turkey and there's also talk about a national nationwide remembrance ceremony maybe several ceremonies one for the attack in itself but also one to this policeman who died instead of someone else. is joining us from paris with the latest thank you let's now look at some of the other stories making news around the world a car bomb has exploded in the north an egyptian city of alexandria killing at least one person the targets was reportedly a convoy carrying the city's security chief the attack comes just two days before presidential election but no group has claimed responsibility. russia's defense ministry says over one hundred thousand civilians have left syria's
