the first work day, the question is how will people be getting back to normalcy, if that's possible, including the french indices, which is a big concern. this is "le figaro" can says francois hollande faces at this moment a response and that was the question. he was meeting yesterday. today we believe he has to meet with his congress, his parliament to discuss what will be his steps both in the interior as well as outside the country and this one here, "la parisian" a picture of sala salah abdeslam, the manhunt, continuing in the country and outside and "le monde," "terror in paris." on this monday it has been tough. in addition to all of this, the interior minister which will certainly get much discussion has asked for the dissolution of

mosques that have hateful teachings. there's not a lot of information in terms of what that means but that debate of what might be determined as hateful and the very request for dissolution will be debated. he is now going to approach his government to propose that process of a lot of questions came up over the weekend since friday, dara and they're moving forward in different ways and finally i want to show what you we have been able to see in terms of response and some of those have been those chalkings if you will, writings on the ground across here in paris and the reactions that they have had, some of them have brought the ideas of what france stands for, brotherhood, and as well as adding words such as love, amour, the chalkings up and down the main boulevard have certainly been an expression of how people are quietly responding and trying to come to some understanding of how to

move forward. >> richard live from paris, thank you very much for that report. well now at the vatican on sunday, pope francis condemned the par ace tacks calling it blasphemy to use the name of god to justify violence and hatred. the pope invited the faithful to pray with him for the innocent victims of at tacks and expressed condolences to the french people and president francois hollande. the lights on rome's famous trevi fountain were turned off last night in memory of the victims. major cities across the u.s. are increasing security following last if i attacks. the police department increased security throughout new york city. abc's "this week" bill brattin was confident in the city's counterterrorism spops. response. >> first off we're always on the offense in terms of intelligence capabilities and joint task force, almost 1,000 people assigned to counterterrorism and

welcome back. the department of defense announced five yemeni prisoners were freed from guantanamo. they were transferred after authorities determined they no longer posed a threat. the detainees were captured in 2001 near the pakistan/afghanistan border and held for 13 years. the attacks in paris are reigniting an important conversation among the 2016 presidential candidates, namely how do we stop isis? a day before the attack president obama said isis was contained. at this weekend's democratic debate, hillary clinton put herself in contrast with the president. >> we have to look at isis as the leading threat of an

international terror network. it cannot be contained. it must be defeated. >> gop candidates are condemning president obama and slamming hillary clinton in the process. at a rally donald trump focused on gun control saying paris has "the toughest gun laws in the world." >> if our people had guns, if they were allowed to carry, it would have been a much, much different situation. >> then on "meet the press" jeb bush went after president obama. like hillary clinton he used president obama's containment remark to frame his answer. >> this is not something you can contain. each day that isis exists it gains new energy and more recruits around the world. >> president obama is hearing it from past opponents, senator john mccain, who lost the election to obama in 2008 says the president's failed policies and lack of leadership led to the growth of isis. and president obama's 2012 opponent mitt romney wrote a

scathing op-ed in "the washington post" entitled "obama must wage with a are on the islamic state, not merely harass it." joining me is jane timm, good morning to you. the topic shifted from the economy on to defeating eyeis. how are the candidates stacking up? >> this a rare opportunity for the gop to come out strong. it favors a lot of the more establishment candidates, they've been in the briefings and in the senate, dealing with national security issues in a much different way than trsomeo like donald trump and ben carson is. we can see the outsiders look a little less good compared to their counterparts in the office. >> let's talk about the democratic debate, that was a day after these attacks so obviously that's what everybody was focused on and hillary clinton was being criticized because of her comments about 9/11 and then the rebuilding of

wall street and maybe there's a question about her funding through that. how is that being received? >> asked about the wall street donations she dodged the topic to a lot of people, seemed like a dodge and she did it in a way that tugged on some raw heart strings for the country that has seen an ally go through something we've also gone through. i think people are going to hit her hard. she's going to get hit from the left, a fundamental weakness with her own party that has seen and talked about how wall street has a lot of power in our country and how they don't like that. hillary clinton has a lot of donations from there and it's something that's a weakness for her, why bernie sanders is so strong against her. >> hillary clinton said the fight against isis is not an american fight. >> she's getting to the core of why she lost the last time she ran. she lost for a comparatively hawkish stance against obama. she's, she stood out against obama and said we cannot contain them, they need to defeat them. this is her winding up with a more progressive liberal stance

saying we need to do this with allies and have this with a coalition. to be fair this is what a lot of republicans are saying >> jumping back to the republicans, how are they addressing the issue? >> we're seeing a lot of calls for boots on the ground and with a war-weary country this is a bold stance but almost everybody except for rand paul is coming out strong. dr. rand paul i pressed him at a press conference this weekend and he wanted to talk about defense spending and the deficit, he wanted to change the topic and didn't address the issue. >> who was the loudest? >> who was the loudist? john kasich said we need to invoke article five of nato and say this is an attack on all of us. >> jane timm thank you for the report, appreciate it. straight ahead, world leaders meet. president obama and russia's vladimir putin had a serious one on one meeting this morning. details on battling isis, that's up next. is not normal, it's extraordinary. you're not sure what's on the other side... but momentum pushes you forward.
