many more are still unaccounted for . thank you very much for being with us. thirteen french soldiers have lost their lives in mali they were killed when two helicopters collided in the dark as they h hunted down islamist militants the part of aerial reinforcements cold in during an intense gun fight. with the biggest loss of french troops in a single day since an attack in beirut some thirty six years ago when fifty eight soldiers died. the president of france among american has expressed his deep sadness at the loss and his government said it would not back down in its fight against terrorism. thirty soldiers lost their lives a station in the sahel region but for some the home base is imposed. in southwestern france and our reporter nadia massey is that
3:32 pm
we can join alive now. at ninety getting to you. what more could you tell us from the scene. yes good evening mark as you can imagine it's a pretty somber atmospheree hit in po tonight i'm just outside. the town hall was several hours ago the mayor of this town. gave a really a moving tribute to the seven men who trained to who what's here. at the mage army base they said that lost their lives hundreds. of thousands of miles away at all on the monte became a fast so- border- there- pictures of those seven men here behind me- outside of the town hall in within the last hour we've seen people. are coming buying to at lake candles and sign a book of condolences that. deaths are being felt really acutely here because at the army base it was really poss of the fabric. of this town because it is one of the biggest special forces bases of its kind in europe- but it's also being felt. across france remember this was the biggest loss of life- out in a single day among french
3:33 pm
forces. since an attack against french troops in lebanon all the way back in the nineteen eighties- and that is why i later on this week of a house out into next week we will see. a national tribute to those thirteen soldiers. i don't believe in paris as well as here in pa in the south of france. and certainly the feeling as you say. in po nadia people really taking this to heart. yes the us in the i mean we've only been here for an hour or so but really people have been trickling through there was a man who came to speak to me. about half an hour or so ago he said he didn't know any of the men- possibly but he said he always felt that the army was a a big part. of this town and that's why he had come down possibly. a to pay his respects at. tonight but as i say this is a loss that is being felt acutely. across from them perhaps for some french people will also. be a moment to draw to question the efficacy of france's i campaign in mali and in the wider- somehow region remember this is a campaign. the front has been fighting at in mali since.
3:34 pm
twenty thirteen. and in the past couple of months it has seemed. that the that the jihadists have been gaining ground in the area while this is a big loss of french life. in the past couple of months we've seen over a hundred malian troops at lose their lives as well as to how this in the area. lose ground on a we heard from a- a french form of foreign office official. several weeks ago rising in the french newspaper le monde saying he was hard for him to visit your way that front could guess out of this campaign- in mali in this whole region is becoming almost. an afghanistan- for- fronts compared to the united states. and i think that is. one of some of the questions that that people here in the south of france are also asking but none the less. the government doubling down to hide from the manual micro. idea today as well as at the defense minister frost parlay saying. from to be staying in the region and will be continuing to fight. as hard as of in west africa so there is a sign in po of people.
3:35 pm
perhaps tony against the fact of france's involved brought. as i say i've only been here myself for a very little time tonight but from what i've gathered from the few people that i've spoken to there is skepticism. about frances- involvement abroad this is almost. i think for many people have forgotten more it's something that doesn't get an enormous amount of media attention. hit in front as i say that's often because many of those who've lost their lives in the campaign of the local soldiers. in mali in in the why why just a whole region but is likely. add that these deaths the i. s scene lies here from the south of france from a military base from a town. where i had been so much the fabric of the city that is really. a shaking people it here in austin. people are asking themselves. how how effective is france's. long campaign in west africa now the embassy in polk- just outside the- town hall in the south of france that with the- most the soldiers that came fromm the lost their lives in the sahel nadia that. a bring us the latest from the scene where she said peopling tributes. to the soldiers who lost their lives. and some people raising questions about france's
