headquarters here in paris as well as with the mayor of paris. this is that the prime minister's office, and they are observing this moment of silence. and at the notre dame cathedral gatherers came to mourn the victims of yesterday's shooting. this as 12 people back, many are france's top cartoonists and satirical writers known for their wit. sometimes they have gone, what many say, go beyond the lines of what is appropriate here that is what charlie hebdo, the satirical magazine, is known for. the french president says the country has been struck in the heart of its capital city in these attacks. he spoke yesterday evening addressing the nation. this morning, we saw another emergency meeting called at the french presidential palace.

mark is standing by, and we can cross to him now. what do you have for us at this moment? >> this morning was a busy morning for the president. he had this second emergency meeting with the ministers in charge of security, the foreign minister, the minister of defense, and people from the intelligence and police services. they were basically trying to figure out what happened. this manhunt, it is notable that the interior minister had to dash out of this meeting because of the other shooting that took place this morning that you were mentioning. after that, there were some very symbolic moments. there was a meeting between france while juan and his predecessor nicholas sarkozy who had not set foot in this courtyard since 2012. this shows that it is clearly a very special day when political

enemies get together in a 15-minute face-to-face discussion with the president probably updated his predecessor on the inquiry right now, the manhunt. also it in a very unusual move nicholas sarkozy made a declaration when he came out saying that there was a need to show unity right now, that this was not the time for political bickering and that this was a war, a war against civilization and that civilization had to prevail over our verity. he indicated that france would probably need to adapt its response to the ever-evolving terrorist threat. right now, the president's output but will be back this afternoon. as of 4:00 paris time, he will be meeting with several other leaders of political party spirit tomorrow, he is continuing his consultations. he should also be meeting, and it is notable, with the far

right leader. >> we have seen some symbolic moves to show unity among the french political scene. walk us through what is going on in terms of security measures that are being taken in the wake of these two events. >> security measures were announced yesterday. france is on its highest alert level. there are more troops and more security checks in sensitive areas. we have seen lots of police cars going in just here outside the elysee. the street has been barricaded. you cannot drive through which you can normally do. so there are exceptional measures because there are at least two joe manhunt's going on -- two manhunts going on. police are running in all

directions and trying to figure out how to solve those cases. there are also trying to reassure the french public. there is a panic and authorities are very worried. they have also warned the media not to relay unchecked information or information that could tip off the perpetrators of the attack this morning and also the attacks yesterday. clearly, they are very worried the authorities here in paris and they're trying to show calm. but, clearly, there is a lot of anxiety. >> indeed, a lot of anxiety across the city this morning and this afternoon. clearly the presence of police. police alarms are going around on their vehicles. perhaps it is too soon to speak of this, but is there fallout we are likely to the down the line? we saw the symbolic movement of francois hollande having

nicholas sarkozy come and he is meeting with marlene le pen. we have these two manhunts on, and french authorities are unable to apprehend the suspect for the moment. >> the french president is concerned, and he has called for national unity am a national cohesion, because he knows the climate is very tense. he also knows that there will be hard questions asked about security lapses on a first of all, in the protection of the charlie hebdo headquarter. we know the paper was a target of threats and intimidation and had firebomb attacks several years ago. in addition, we have now learned that at least one of the two suspects have been jailed and had been under surveillance from

the french secret service. this will revive the same kind of questions we saw a couple years ago when mohammed merah went on a rampage and killed french soldiers and jewish kids in a jewish schools in the southwestern town of toulouse. we learned he had also been under surveillance from the french intelligence services and eventually escaped their attention. so this will raise questions. nicholas sarkozy, and his remarks coming out of that meeting, clearly indicated yes that france would need to adapt its response. he did not say if there explicitly, but it was very clear from what he said that he believes that not all appropriate measures were being taken. obviously, this is not a time for dispute, but it is one to show solidarity and unity. as time passes, the questions will resurface. >> thank you for reporting from
