bernard smith has more from the summit in antalia. >> reporter: the attacks have over shadowed the agenda here at the g20 economic summit but the fear and increasing threats was on the agenda because of the murders of the people on the beach in tunisia and the suicide bomb inns ankara and beirut last week. all of these attacks claimed by isil. all of that casting a long shadow over this g20 summit. >>ra minute's silence. in paris, turkey and further afield. this is supposed to be a submit about the global economy but the threat from issim is on everyone's minds. from the host, a suggestion that turkey, a reluctant partner might now do more. >> we had to more strong lyn and determinedly express astie our cooperation in combatting terrorism. barack obama says the united states will step up efforts to eliminate isil in syria. >> it's an attack on the civilized world. i am sure each said to president hollande and the french people, we stand in solidarity with them in bringing them to justice. >> the u.n. secretary general said the attacks in paris offered a rare moment at diplomatic opportuni

bernard smith reports from antalia. >> as europe's g20 leaders stood in silence, there was a call frome here not to associate terrorism with refugees and a religion, nationality or ethnic group. >> to make a connection between terrorist activities and refugees is irresponsible. we need to fight together against terrorism. >> but how? from a country leading the fight against isil, a recognition of the limits of what it can do militarily. barack obama ruled out any ground offensive. >> that would be a mistake. we would see a repetition of what we have seen before, which is if you do not have local populations that are committed to inclusive goverance and who are pushing back against ideological extremes, that they resurface unless we are prepared to have a permanent occupation of these countries. >> reporter: airstrikes are intensifying and europe and the u.s. have pushed russia to do more to target isil rather than just forces opposed to bashar al-assad. >> we have established contact with part of the syrian opposition which have asked us not to strike territories under their control. w

al jazeera's bernard smith is in antalia where the summit is taking place. >> this is one of the mostensive execute operations the turkish government has had to undertake on the agean coast. it's 1 of those areas where national leaders are gathered together for one event all of the entrances the g20 is supposed to be about addressing the world's economic challenges but it's the syria crisis that casts a long shadow over this event not least because we are 500 kilometers from the syrian border. also, put on the agenda by the events host synrated by syria's civil war. there will be one g20 leader, note a.m. by his absence from this event, the french president, francois hallande represented by lauren fabbuos. government demonstrators have fought police in the sorting korean capitol. the protestors are rallying against the introduction of state you issued history text books calling the move politically biased. harry faucet is in seoul. >> seoul hasn't seen clashes like this. the politics of this country bubbling over. at stake, two key issues, a conservative government's attempts to refor

kevin cork joins us now live from antalia, turkey, where the g-20 summit is scheduled to take place. what has the president been doing today? >> very busy day, you hit the nail on the head. given the gravity of the situation in paris and what's happening there on the ground, to say nothing of the heightened security in the u.s., the president did meet with his national team this morning. they discussed a number of events that could potentially happen in the u.s. they want to make sure they're well prepared just in case there are other troublesome events that could obviously happen on the u.s. side of the atlantic. clearly yesterday, the president expressing the sentiments of a great many people all over the world expressing support for the french people. france of course our oldest ese ally. the president saying we stand with the people of france in their darkest hour. we have learned about that carnage in paris. we have learned a number of americans. in fact, we have confirmed through state. are among those injured or perhaps killed. we still don't have confirmation, but we are moni

turkish authorities arrested him in a town in antalia in turkey, at a hotel there, where he was meeting two men believed to be connected to isis. it is believed they came from syria, that dahmani was going to go back with them to syria, and therefore get beyond the reach of the french law officials, belgian law officials as well. the value that this man, dahmani, might have for french investigators at the moment is, that he may know the wider network around the attack here, that he may know some of the other facilitators, safe houses, financiers, motivators. these sorts of people, these are key for french investigators and belgium, of course, because these are the people that may know other terror cells that may be on the verge of striking spop the fact that he is captured is a plus for french authorities right now, fredricka. >> all right. nic robertson, thank you so much. >>> all right, let's talk about these arrests with julian therone who joins us live from paris. he's a political science at the university of versailles and the university of paris. good to see you. so, professor, on

arrest him, but they arrested him when he was meeting at a hotel -- with two other men at a hotel in antalia in turkey. this is the town president obama was in last week for the big g-20 summit meeting. the two other men he was meeting with were suspected of belonging to isis and suspected of coming from syria. the assumption is that this man on his way from belgium, in turkey, on his way with these two men to be taken across the border into syria, and therefore out of the hands of investigators here. so now the turkish authorities have him, if they can pass him back to the french or the french can question him or belgian authorities can question him, perhaps that can shed some light on the filters, the financiers, the motivators, other people on the outer ring for the attackers. and for the french right now, hugely valuable, because therefore that can potentially stop other cells of the french right now, fredricka. >> and nic, can you tell whether or not that high threat alert in belgium is impacting how people go about, make plans there in paris, even though i see behind you, there are an

antalia is beautiful. the hospitality of the turkish people is legendary. to our turkish friends -- [ speaking foreign language ] i have been practicing that. at the g-20, our focus was on how to get the global economy growing faster and creating more jobs for our people. i'm pleleed that we agreed that growth has to be inclusive to address the rising inequality ound the world. givev growing cyberthreats, we committed to a set of normsms drafted by the united states for our governments should conduct themselves in cyberspace, including a commitment not to engage in the cybertheft of intellectual property for commercial gain. as we head into global climate talks, all g-20 countries have submitted our targets and successful outcome inparis. of course, much of our attention has focused on the heinous attacks that took place in paris. across the world, in the united states, american flags are at half staff in solidarity with our french allies. we are working closely with our french partners as they pursue their investigations and track down suspects. france is

he was arrested at a high end hotel in the southeastern turkish city antalia. two other men under arrest were trying to smuggle him into syria. we will have more on both of those developments throughout the morning. there are more concerns and questions about u.s. national security in the wake of the paris terrorist attacks. after officials reveal that at least one of the eight paris attackers likely would have been able to travel to the united states, that's right. our own cnn justice reporter evan perez has more. >> reporter: at least one of the paris attackers, possibly more, had clean enough background they could have traveled to the u.s. under the visa waiver program. an fishlg says more than one was on the no fly list and four were on the watch list known as tied. there are 1.1 million names on the tied list t. no fly list is smaller. it's the highest level security risk. there are disagreement among law enforcement how well these watchlists would have worked to stop these attackers from traveling to the u.s. one intelligence official says human sources a

ahmet dahmani, we understand he arrives in antalia on november 14th, so the day after the attacks.s in turkey he arrived there from amsterdam. terrorism officials in turkey followed him, they picked him up at a luxury hotel in that coastal city along with these two syrian men. all of them of course now in custody. they questioned them over the past couple of days. and that believe that dahmani at least was in direct contact with the attackers in paris. they believe that he was scoping out terrorist -- these attack sites. so the bataclan, the other cafes that were hit on friday. as for the other two men, chris, they're syrian. and the belief is that they came into turkey in order to essentially escort dahmani back into isis territory across the border. so we'll see what comes of that over the next few days whether we hear anymore. i'm sure french investigators would like to talk to this guy. >> kelly cobiella, good to have you here. thank you so much. >>> turning now to mali where the u.n. confirms an american woman is among the 20 people killed in friday's deadly hotel siege. in ad
