once again by cnn global affairs analyst bobby ghosh, our chief international correspondent christiane amanpour joining us from london and our cnn military analyst, retired lieutenant general mark hertling. christiane the reaction in europe not on in france but in britain, germany, elsewhere in europe, must be devastating given the open boerdzrders, if you will that folks that have an eu passport can mull around as easily as possible. >> well, there's that. but the reaction also is we've all felt this over the last several years. in england, you remember in 2005 i think it was, or 2007 we had a massive attack on the public transportation system. and that is when suicide bombers actually went and detonated backpack-laden suicide belts and killed more than 50 people on the underground and on buses. we remember madrid in 2004 when they did something similar on the trains there. we remember these attacks going on in many parts of europe. even now, there are all sorts of cross-currents and very difficult situations going on. in germany, for instance angela merkel has had to speak out against this ri

we're also hear from the prime minister who spoke to christiane amanpour just minutes ago saying that he did not believe that these attacks were the work of lone wolves that there may have been an accomplice or accomplices helping the kouachi brothers. whether that was an operational link or whether it was something looser proceeding the attacks, that's something still being determined by the investigation. one of the other things we're learning as well from the prime minister is that the presumed girlfriend hayat boumeddiene, that also this is going to be determined as we go forward whether or not her role was operational because we learned from the interior minister a few days ago that her cell phone communications link the part of this series of attacks to the kouachi brothers. his girlfriend and the wife of cherif kouachi communicated. whether it was men who used cell phones or whether women themselves communicated will be made clear as the investigation continues. we do have some information coming to cnn from the lawyer of cherif kouachi's wife. cherif kouachi is younger of the

i want to bring in christiane amanpour who joins us from live done. clearly an attack on the press and press freedom, something that journalists throughout the world react to and the death of two plirzolice officers. >> you're right, this sebds ands a chill and will do around the western democracies who feel freedom of speech enables them to report and even to engage in satire. david come ron saying they stand with the french in their fight against terror but also in defending the free press. this is a very different attack than other terrorist attacks that we've seen in london several years ago, that we saw in madrid several years ago which were against civilians. other attacks against military targets. this was specifically aimed at this magazine and at these reporters and cartoonists and france has had a heightened anti-terror alert over the last several months the highest are now it's raised it to. over the last several months certainly just before christmas there were a number of attacks by what were described as islamist militants shouting "god

christiane amanpour, thank you so much. just moments ago we heard from the deputy mayor of paris, he said they have information they left they escape car behind. there's evidence of some sort of military training. who were the people behind this attack? we'll break down what they did and what the french are now doing to capture them, a manhunt under way in paris at this moment. ♪ t-mobile's network has more data capacity per customer than verizon and at&t it's a network that puts data were you need it most a network designed data strong ♪ >>> breaking news happening right now terror in paris. there's a huge manhunt underway for three heavily armed gunmen who opened fire on the offices of a satirical magazine. at least 12 people are dead several others injured. the deputy mayor of paris told us just moments ago that he believes that the gunman changed cars in northern paris, leaving the car you're seeing right there behind and getting into another. the president of france says there is no doubt that this was a terror attack.

christiane amanpour spoke to the president's office. this has been a question of discussion. i noticed in the last several hours, much more in the united states necessarily than here in france. what is your source telling you about whether or not the french presidency was disappointed president obama didn't show up? >> reporter: you're absolutely right. it's really not registering at all here. it seems to be a political situation in the united states. what i did was take the bull by the horns and call the presidency and say, are you offended or upset sflrgets? they wouldn't go on the record but a source said we won't talk about that because we don't want to give life to that. we deeply appreciate president obama being out there amongst the very first wednesday calling the president, one of the fist leaders to do so making public statements and then used this word in an ceptional moment of emotional solidarity for us president obama went to the french embassy in washington and signed the condolence book and was very forward leaning on all his comments and criticism and solidar

i want to bring in christiane amanpour right now. christiane, good to see you. i didn't know if we were going to get you, you were just broadcasting live on cnn international a second ago >> that's right. the whole world has gathered to support what happened here in france and say a resounding no, we're not going to stand for it. it's not just french flags out there. it's flags from all over and people from all over who have come to give a much louder message to this nation and the world than what the terrorists did on wednesday. >> our friends in california should know that you are being represented. there is a california flag for some reason over there, people proud to stand here in solidarity, i guess in that case with america's oldest ally, france. >> that's absolutely true, and remember, the bells of notre dame, when the day of mourning was declared here on thursday, one day after the terrorist attack, rang for ten minutes. the last time they did that was for 9/11, to remember the victims in the united states. and the last time they did that was after world

let me bring in our chief international correspondent christiane amanpour. i know you have interviewed -- you know some of these cartoonists. off the top, i want to ask you about francois hollande. at the top of the last hour we heard him not mince words talking about continuing to defend this freedom of speech and mentioning tomorrow as a national day of mourning there in france. saying that peace and justice is under attack. what did you make of his message? >> he was clearly trying to galvanize a traumatized nation. this is the worst terror attack in europe in a decade. it's been a very very big shock as you can imagine not just in paris but also around western europe and particularly of course in all of the journalistic professions. there's a real sense of solidarity. there's a real sense of that this wasn't a terror attack. this was an execution. these people came to this newspaper because of what it had done in the past and called and singled people out and shot them execution style. we saw them do that to one of the police on the sidewalk. we don't ha

christiane amanpour in paris for us tonight.gazine offices was captured by a french filmmaker. he taped this attack. he talked to anderson cooper about what we saw. >> he told us that two persons were standing out and trying to get in so we heard the very first shots and then more and more shots, right across the -- five or six meters away. >> that close? >> yeah. >> did you know instantly that they were shots? >> no. at first we just heard shots. we heard screams and then we tried to get on the roof. >> you ran up to it the roof? >> yeah. we went to the roof and tried to avoid bullets and keep the agency safe. there was 20 people in our agency. >> it's incredible. the video you took and we're looking at some of it now, this went on for a number of minutes. five to ten minutes. is that about how long it was? >> five to ten at least. it seemed like it was so much longer. and then the cops arrived and they started shooting at them. >> did police start shooting them or terrorists started shooting police? >> terrorists started shoot

with my colleague christiane amanpour. >> and perhaps nothing says more than that fully illuminatedthat we are looking at. this is going to be illuminated to mark these rallies and e÷ nothing says france more than the home ofe1 liberty, equality and fraternity pouring out this tidal wave of humanity today. a really historic day for france and a resounding response the terror of what has happened here and what has taken place over the last several days starting with the wholesale assault and the slaughter of journalists, cartoonists, ande,kñ simply for doing their honest job and being able to do and enact the freedom of expression that we all take for the granted, and thenu turning their guns and their wepe1 weapons on jews in the jewish kosher supermarkets on friday. >> the rallye1 started this morning christiane a been here all day, and the sun has set now on the city of lights here in paris, and we have been here all day and thexd crowd fáundeterred no matter the rain or the cold or the wind ande1 it started here beginning with with a few dozen and then hundreds and then thousands

let's bring in christiane amanpour now who's joining us from london. we also have brian stelter with us and we have cnn legal analyst paul callan. christiane this was a fascinating interview. what did the mayor tell you? >> well we had the interview in the context of the arrests and what needs to be done and all sorts of comments from the prime minister about the deep divisions in society and also in the context of them being very worried about not just anti-semitism that we saw in the market and also rising backlash against islam. so all of this and then reacting to these comments by fox news and its experts which basically targeted and accused france of having no-go zones, islamic sharia law -- right after -- about the same time as they'd done the same thing about birmingham in england. so the mayor said paris had been particularly damaged and she called prejudiced about it and she was going to take legal action. listen to what she told me. >> translator: i'm insulted. and when we've had an image, then i think we'll have to sue. i think we'll have to

the french prime minister for example, manual bowles as he tells christiane amanpour was careful to says the inquiry continues. what's your view if there are people in france right now that could have valuable information authorities could use. >> i don't think they're going to find a big sell myself. that's -- i don't know that for sure. you know -- yesterday would have been good -- >> >> like a one off, like 9/11 the train bombings and on and on. a group gets together they evade the police carry out an attack but there's no -- you know what i would consider an offensive against the west. and these things, i think are just going to periodically happen. it could get worse if the civil war in the middle east between sunni and shiite and there's more drones than the rest of it really drive this into a full pledged conflict we could see it get worse. my first alarm is subsided at this point. >> and how much concern should we make of the remaining suspect? believed to be in syria. i mean is that a nonissue at this point? >> i think it was a nonissue from the beginning. i think she was simpl

i'm jake tapper here in paris along with my colleague christiane amanpour and we have been privilegedhe day watching this beautiful sea of humanity gather here at the place de la republique a mass chant, sing and then proceed led by world leaders from literally around the globe down to the other part of paris in expression of solidarity with the people of france with the victims of the terrorist attacks last week here in paris. >> and we've heard from guest after guest, from so many of the french people that we've been talking to today, how moved they are that so many world leaders have come here to offer their support and solidarity and to march with them in this unity rally. >> yeah. and you will see the signs here. here is a woman who is very eager. she accidentally hit you in the back of the head i am charlie. that's the revealing sentiment. some of the people found the sentiments expressed in this newspaper, outrage us blasphemous. that's not the issue. the issue is do they have the right to do it and was the terrorist response the wholesale mindless slaughter of them the appropr

i'm christiane amanpour along with my colleague jake tapper. it is a historic day for france.uman tidal wave millions of people have come out to say no to the bar barity that struck this nation on wednesday. >> it's been quite a week here starting with the attacks on the french satirical magazine charlie hebdo, but right now you see a demonstration of support from world leaders. you see benjamin netanyahu on the left there, the prime minister of israel. towards the right side mahmoud abbas and in the middle francois hollande arm in arm with german chancellor angela merkel. >> this is a unique sight. we have seen this many world leaders circling in france linking arms walking in solidarity and in unity to say no to the bar barity that struck this nation and to join what is at least a million so far and they expect millions more. in the center of your picture, the president of france the chancellor of germany. perhaps the president of mali just next door. the foreign ministers and leaders of western europe. the king and queen of jordan. and as jake pointed out the prime minister

let's bring in someone with perspective, christiane amanpour k&n's chief international correspondent. happy new year to you, my friend. thank you for the gifts that you've given me before and in the future. >> happy new year to you and to all our viewers, it's going to be a heck of a year on international front, chris. >> let's talk about why. obviously at the top of the list has to be isis. what do we see evolving in that situation? >> well what you see right now is a sort of a halt of the major momentum that isis had from last year in other words the whole of 2014 was signified by isis' rise its barbarity, its beheadings and its consolidation in iraq and in syria. you also saw the u.s. come in with air strikes to halt the momentum and to a large extent it's done that. and to some extent the political situation in iraq is beginning to make baby steps towards getting out of its dysfunction. and also the military momentum for isis is beginning to stall. but there is an argument between iraqi forces and the u.s. government as to when to make a major offensive against isis and dislodge t

let's go to christiane amanpour. joining frus london. she's been here with me in paris until very recently christiane. please speak to what we're understanding now. if these men are indeed from aqap al qaeda in the arabian peninsula. and this kind of sick competition between terror groups for notoriety. >> well clearly they have been quoted as saying twice, tell the media that we are al qaeda in yemen. and now with all this reporting that cnn has done the justice minister what she told me last night, it's clear that at least one, maybe two of them have been to yemen sometime in the last several years. and you just heard mike rogers a as former chairman of the house intelligence committee, talking about the threat the new threat which is also what the french foreign minister told me. these are not foreigners like 9/11 who came from abroad and attacked inside a different country. these are what intelligence and security officials are really afraid of as this current wave of terrorists, they are the home-grown ones. the once who are told don

we have christiane amanpour our chief international correspondent here and when we are looking at then the investigation one-half-step back. what we saw perpetrated yesterday, is different than what we've seen in the past. what is your precipitation of why? >> this was a direct attempt to shut down any kind of dissent. they went right, as the president of france said today, they attacked the heart of our nation they attacked us in our capital, in our cultural heritage here and they tried to shut us up. right now as we've seen a gentleman to your right, who has a home-made cardboard sign saying the french are not afraid. people have come out in this cold and horrible drizzling rain. heaven is crying today because of what happened yesterday. they've come with their flowers and candles and signs to pay tribute. because this is not just another terrorist attack. as terrible as this sounds to say this is a deliberate attack on the freedom of speech. on the freedom to live the kind of values that western democracies have lived now for hundreds of years. and whether you go back to the ayatol

this afternoon christiane amanpour will be talking to the prime minister. maybe she will get more information from him at that point. a couple of other things he said this morning that are interesting and bit surprising, actually. he said that they are going to better enforce the idea that radical islamists in prison should be separated. anybody with radical intentions should be in separate prisons or cells so they are not allowed contact. one would think this would have been done over the years. he will ask the parliament for a law about that. he also seemed to indicate he would be in favor of a parliamentary investigation, a commission to look into all of the various security questions that have been raised by the attacks last week. they are considerable. how many people were involved exactly. are there more sleeper cells out there? how in fact did the kouachi brothers carried out the attack at "charlie hebdo." how did they know the editorial meeting was taking place? they must have had inside information or surveillance to know that. there are a lot of q

this morning, we just saw minutes ago the prime minister on television and christiane amanpour is going to have an interview with him later on today. in any case he was saying exactly the same thing, that they are going to toughen up the rules on these internet sites that are used to recruit young people. >> is the feeling that they can do that that they can carry it out? >> reporter: i think we've already seen that the amateurks do that. overnight, there's a group known as anonymous attacked terrorist sites and shut down a few of them. i think there is a feeling that there is something they can do. they're asking for the cooperation of the internet companies. one of the ironic things natalie, is the internet was established in the first place as a device for military use. it was a device for the authorities to use. and here in the last few years, we've seen that the terrorists have turned the internet into something, a tool that they can use against the authorities. >> they certainly are doing that. so the investigation continues, as well, as to how investigators didn't know that these

joining us now, christiane amanpour in paris with me and in london, former muslim extremist and antiextremistcator, maajid nawaz. maajid, there's so much we know about how young people like him are radicalized and yet, it doesn't seem to have made much of a difference in terms of trying to prevent it. >> yes. the reason for that, unfortunately, although we are good at sending across drones across the world or indeed taking out the leaders of al qaeda, what we aren't very good at for various reasons, one of them because governments aren't particularly comfortable in having this discussion is in stemming the flow and the appeal of this ideology on the grassroots. i listened earlier at a report that up to 5,000 french muslims are monitored for being potential jihadists. that's a huge, huge number. if we look at that, roughly 500 gone from france to syria. of course, around 500 from britain as well as to europe. it tells you the scale of the problem. i think the challenge here is that we deal with a brand that appeals to young aspiring rappers like the kouachi brothers, people who were appearing

anyway, this is no different than christiane amanpour who still has her cnn job somehow after referring to the paris killers as activists. for them it's just easier to fight the language than terror. it's why the media focuses on mean words rather than deeds. as men are being thrown from buildings to their deaths for being gay and women are being murdered for adultery, where's the left? they're busy dissecting bobby jindal's speech for islamohatred which shows you what we're up against. it's the fifth column defending evil while chasing phantom phrases. but maybe the hacks at al jazeera avoid the real threat because they don't want to lose their job, or perhaps their lives. for them, heads will roll isn't just a figure of speech. k.j.? >> yes? >> it was a moving monologue. >> it was so moving, i felt it. >> yes. >> throughout my body. >> they won't use the word "terrorist." so i understand -- i understand they don't like the word "islamist," but they don't even want "terrorist." so what are we going to call it? >> it's awkward. i feel like we have to send a little memo out via carrier p

and on the phone, chief international correspondent, christiane amanpour joins us as well. christiane let's start with you. obviously, the king was quite old when he officially took the throne but he was still considered a reformer. though a reformer in a very conservative context of saudi arabia. >> reporter: well anderson that's right. king ab doula was king far short of time he was ruler of saudi arabia since 1995. sort of dates back to when his predecessor king stod developed a debilitating stroke. he's the man the united states and the rest of the worltd has dealt with for the last 20 years. he has had several very important initiatives and very thwarted in some ways relationship wts united states. back in the early 2000s, for instance, king convinced the arab league to present an unprecedented agreement to recognize israel. in 1967. that hasn't happened but that plan is considered still the basis of what might eventually be a peace settlement or a big part of it. obviously, he was also very very anti-iran. saudi arabia sort of led that arab part of the anti-iran coalit

christiane amanpour was told they are surrounded by militias stationed on rooftops around his home. >> what is the state of control of the government? >> non-existent. >> are you telling me the government is not in control? >> yes, shocking huh? >> for workers, if there is an order to evacuate they could leave by state department chartered aircraft but only if it is safe enough to drive to the airport. if the airport closes there is another route. cnn has learned the u.s. military has just increased its alert level. marines and special forces on board the uss offshore are ready to go immediately according to a u.s. official in the region. v 22 and ch 53 helicopters could land on the embassy ground and quickly airlift out everyone including nearly 100 marines already there guarding the embassy. but an even deeper national security worry as yemen rebels al qaeda in the peninsula head quartered in yemen and claim to the paris "charlie hebdo" attacks has a dangerous advantage. >> when there is turmoil, it's great for aqap because everyone is focussing on internally in the country and aqap

and of course we have christiane amanpour who will do an interview with the prime minister later this afternoon. maybe she will get more out of him than we have heard so far. the other thing from the prime minister this morning, i think there is a lot of backing and filling going on from the french government. they missed a lot of leads. even the prime minister is saying there should be a parliamentary investigation and commission established to look into this and find out what was missed and why the security services missed the various leads. they had all of these guys. they were on these guys up to a point. then at some point, somebody made the decision they will not be so dangerous. we can scale down. we have other priorities. there were other people they wanted to follow more closely. >> the announcement of 8,000 law enforcement devoted to security around the country. half at jewish institutions. i was talking to someone in law enforcement. they can handle this heightened alert for now, but they cannot do it indefinitely. >> reporter: the prime minister said there may be new recru

cnn's christiane amanpour asked nigerian military spokesman about what the government is doing to try. killings. are you concerned about that and concerned about alienating the population you're trying to protect? >> amid the criticism that the government isn't doing enough the president made a surprise visit to the borno state in the northeast, the same state that the massacre happened and where boko haram is highly active. >>> soldiers there have long complained about not getting enough support from the government. nic robertson has an exclusive report. >> reporter: we're on our way to meet a soldier who's been on the front line in the battle against boko haram. we've been chasing him all day and we're still trying to catch up with him. eventually we meet, hidden in a tiny store, he dares spend only a few minutes with us. he's not authorized to talk. he wants to remain unanimous. he's telling a side of the war we never hear what it's like to be a soldier fighting boko haram. kit yourself if >> yes, i bought mine. >> that's incredible. his base is just outside of this town barely thr

i understand that christiane amanpour is going to interview the prime minister later today and no doubt she's going to ask that very question. you're right. he wasn't clear about that. i thought it was particularly interesting considering the timing of that announcement came on the heels of the release of that isis video yesterday. begs the question who released that isis video? questions no doubt authorities here in this country are trying to answer now. >> no question erin. they also have questions looking back as to how the warning signs were missed on these attackers. a reminder the kouachi brothers who killed the cartoonists here at the charlie hebdo were under police surveillance for a number of years. that surveillance was stopped last summer. these are real questions that have to be answered here. i wonder if we put this in american context, france has an estimated 5,000 suspected terrorists. imagine the security measures we might see in place in the u.s. or level of fear we might see in the u.s. if numbers were similar there. >> i want to put up a picture of hayat boumeddiene.

and he spoke to our christiane amanpour. >> translator: we have never thought to make fun of people.ht to believe in god. but you have a right to make fun of what the religions are saying of dogma. there's a difference between dogma and individuals. >> he says when the killers burst into "charlie hebdo" offices, he lay down on the floor and all he could here was gunfire. very sad. >> and all three gunmen were french citizens. that's raising questions about how they became motivated to kill. >> a lot of people believe it has a lot to do with how french society treats young immigrants. jim bittermann reports from paris. >> reporter: the guns were blazing at the kosher supermarket, the terrorist gunman was born to parents who emigrated from mali raised a frempbman. the hero who saved six people in the basement, also came from mali in 2006. through his actions, he's now been made a french citizen. the late arrival, desperate to become french. the they tich rejecting the society around him. the french prime minister thinks he has an explanation. the immigrants and children of immigrants f

he told our christiane amanpour what he saw that day. >> translator: i was in the room where the killers opened the door. they appeared with submachine guns. the colleague who was in front of me was in front of him. as soon as i saw this scene, i started to shoot, then i laid down on the floor with my face on the ground. then i just heard the sounds of gunfire. i could just hear the gun fire. i didn't even hear any shouting any screaming. all i could hear was the gunfire, and i had my face to the ground. >> the french prime minister has announced what he calls exceptional measures to fight islamist extremists. >> it includes spending nearly $500 million to get the job done. for the latest on that here's our pamela brown. >> reporter: the concern among intelligence officials we've been speaking with is that around a half dozen associates of the terror suspects could be hiding out far from authority's reach and they could end up popping in isis propaganda videos or be recruited to attack the west. this is as we're learning more about the suspects already in custody in paris. today for the

today, jordan's foreign minister told cnn's christiane amanpour that his government has been working for weeks through back channels to try to get that pilot back alive. he says he hopes the surviving japanese hostage held by the group, kenji goto would be part of any swap but that the pilot is the priority for jordan. the question of course would a deal encourage more hostage taking and would it cause more innocent people to be killed. after all, isis wants the jordanian government to turn over this woman sajida al rishawi. barbara starr is live at the pentagon. jordan says they have not received any proof of life and will not move forward with the swap until that happens. still, are u.s. officials surprised at all that jordan seems willing to play ball with these terrorists? >> reporter: not really surprised. u.s. officials are well aware of jordan's position and jordan's position is it is not negotiating with terrorists. it is engaging in a hope for a prisoner exchange. they say that is something that many countries do. around the clock efforts to secure the release of the jordani

the mayor of that city has just told our cnn's christiane amanpour that she is planning to take legalction against a tv network, fox news. and it's all because of comments that were made about so-called muslim no-go zones in paris. just for some background, last week, a terrorism analyst on the fox news channel suggested that there were entire cities like birmingham in england there were no-go zones, that people who were not muslim either could not or would not go, including police. well, that led to a series of apologies and references to mistakes being made. fox news apologizing suggesting this was an error. but the reporting did continue to include entire neighborhoods in paris. and that presumably is what has the paris mayor so upset. have a listen. >> translator: i'm insulted. and when we've had an image, then i think we'll have to sue. i think they'll have to go to court in order to have these words removed. the image of paris has been prejudiced and the honor of paris has been prejudiced. and i think in the great discussion of truth, everyone is to play its role and we have to

i'm christiane amanpour along with jake tapper here in paris for this unity rally.e welcome our viewers in the united states and around the world. >> we're standing here at the place de la republique where the unity rally began. christiane and i have been here for hours. the crowd has gone from dozens to hundreds to thousands, to tens of thousands. maybe up to a million people are here. people are enthusiastic. it's been rainy, cold windy, and yes its not dissuaded any of them. people with lots of different messages. people saying kobani the fight in syria. a muslim gentleman holding a sign saying not in my name. people standing together saying defiantly to the terrorists you're not defeating us. >> and flags from everywhere not just the french tricolor. and remember especially for our viewers in the united states france is america's oldest ally as president obama said when he gave his condolences and condemned the attack here that happened on wednesday. and we say that because the values that this nation has given to all of us the values of freedom, of democracy, o

we also are now told the french justice minister telling christiane amanpour one of them traveled to yemen a number of years ago before this attack all this happening before the deadly shooting in paris just down the street behind me two days ago. as the manhunt continues for the attackers in the countryside outside of paris, a clearer picture is emerging of the gunmen behind the masks. authorities have identified brothers cherif kouachi, 32 years old, and said kouachi, as the chief suspects. the two left behind a getaway car and inside a key clue said's i.d. card the gunman's first mistake. >> it was mace take a single mistake. >> reporter: both brothers were known to french authorities and had been under police monitoring. >> as soon as the identity of suspect was nope, where they might flee to they were placed under surveillance. >> reporter: cherif the younger of two brothers and a fan of rap music, was sentenced to three years in prison in 2008 for recruiting jihadis to fight in iraq. in 2005 he was arrested before traveling to syria, where where he intended to travel to iraq to

. >> christiane amanpour is also joining us via london. christiane the situation really over the last 12 hours has changed dramatically and the knowledge, the information that french law enforcement and french intelligence has now, has also increased dramatically not just on foreign trips that these brothers are believed to have taken, but also on linkages between the incident at "charlie hebdo," the shooting of the french policewoman on thursday morning, and now you have these two hostage standoffs happening simultaneously. >> i mean it's eerie, because i asked the foreign minister in paris yesterday, did he think that the "charlie hebdo" attack was going to be the only one or were they prepared for more? and he was very very concerned about the fact that something like this what we're seeing unfold right now, could actually take place, and that this situation get bigger rather than get smaller. so that is a big problem. we have been surprised by the release of a picture of a woman who is suspected of being involved in the shooting yesterd

we don't know what her involvement is but as christiane amanpour was saying earlier, one of the things things about the hundreds of french who have gone to syria in the male case for training but in the female case marrying jihadi fighters is the large number of females going. it's not typical to have a female involved in this side of toerpss but it's quite typical for them to have a support role for them to be in a relationship with a jihadi fighter. to be kind of a -- share the same ideological views. so i'd like to find out more about this female suspect and what her background is. >> peter, you have also written extensively because i think a lot of people in the united states who are watching certainly the attack on charlie hebdo, on the attack on cartoonists kind of amazed that people would be attacking cartoonists but there are a number of people in the united states who have plotted to do this exact same thing. >> that's right, anderson. we've had two american citizens one from chicago, and another from pennsylvania colleen larose, who went by the moniker jihad jane both had ver

and then on the third day she had an interview with, i believe, christiane amanpour and she was on it. every single fact every data point, big picture strategy. so is ever since -- so ever since then we've had incredible, high regard, and julia's been very strategic and helpful in thinking through our work in terms of conducting research and analysis and impacting global policy helping shape some of our key our key initiatives. and lastly on a very personal note, she is incredibly warm and incredibly generous colleague to work with. of course, at the very beginning we said, well, you know, how should we, you know refer to you, prime minister bill ard? she said please please please, just call me julia. and in short order we were talking about the pool and australia and when we could all come visit -- [laughter] which is still on my, you know, on the list. i'm not sure i can really deduct that as a work expense, but we're working on it. [laughter] but she's been very warm, very generous with her time with me personally, but also with every member of my team talking to our interns, to ou

. >> joining me now is chief international correspondent christiane amanpour and here in paris, terrorismert, samuel laure laurent. jihadis, people have not paid attention to really, but seems to be on the rise. >> exactly. it's something that is expending at the dramatic speed, especially now with isis. for about a year, isis has been using a lot of propaganda through internet, through videos and so on. and the youngsters are vu vulnerable to that. young women have been flowing to syria and iraq and dragged into these. we saw some 14-year-old teenagers, not only one but many moving to france to syria, attempting to move to syria. they were seduced by this. picked a simple life. somehow a life of principle, of values based on koran and fighting something attractive to them. >> it seems like it's being sold as a form of empowerment, in a culture perhaps they don't feel that sense. >> a culture they don't know basically. those girls which are moving to islam do not know islam have a very tiny knowledge of islam. most do not speak arabic. read koran but a brief summary done by jihadi who bas

about whether there were other people involved and the french prime minister today told our christiane amanpour that he does believe there were accomplices or at least an accomplice at a minimum dealing with finance and at the operational level. >> that's very worrisome. i understand that the satirical magazine charlie hebdo has just defiantly published a new issue. they want to distribute a million copies and it has another rather provocative cover. >> reporter: that's right. the issue comes out wednesday. the normal circulation for charlie hebdo has been 60,000. for this they are expecting to publish one million copies. the french press reporting on what that cover will be. it is of the prophet muhammed wearing a shirt that says je suis charlie. at the top it says in french all is forgiven. the prophet muhammed is shedding a tear. there is satire pointed satire continuing even after the horrific attacks. i should say there is this memorial behind me i have been here for more than 12 hours today. there aren't many people here now, it's late at night, but it is never empty. a steady stream of p

yemen's information minister tells cnn's christiane amanpour the yemeni prime minister is surrounded by militias stationed on rooftops around his home. >> what is the state of control of the government? >> almost nonexistent. >> are you telling me the government is not in control? >> yes. shocking huh? >> reporter: for u.s. embassy workers, if there is an order to evacuate they could leave by state department chartered aircraft. but only if it is safe enough to drive to the airport. if the airport closes, there is another route. cnn has learned the u.s. military has just increased its alert level. marines and special forces on board the "uss iwo jima" offshore are ready to go immediately according to a u.s. official in the region. helicopters could land on the embassy grounds and quickly airlift out everyone including nearly 100 marines already there guarding the embassy. but an even deeper national security worry, as yemen unravels al qaeda in the arabian peninsula, aqap headquartered in yemen, and laying claim to the paris "charlie hebdo" attacks, has a dangerous advantage. >> when

. >> let's bring in christian ae amanpour joining us from london. let's talk about what's going on there right now. tell us about how quickly the islamic population is rising there, what the concerns are there about extremist factions within it. what's going on there right now? >> well for a long time france has been the country which proportionately percentage wise has had the biggest islamic population there. however, that does not mean to say that france has been the vanguard of islamic terrorism. we saw it in britain in 7/7, we saw it in madrid. this is a very very severe departure from the usual attacks, because this isn't random as a senior french analyst has just said. this was directed absolutely at the press. to that end, we heard if it's true if it's true and it's bared out that these people apparently said as they fled charlie abdo is dead the magazine attacked today and has a history of poking fun at all of life's absurdities, including the absurdity of militant islam. that is what it has been doing and it has had around-the-clock police

so let's bring in cnn national correspondent jim scuitto and christian amanpour. >> just to wrap thisge faux pas the u.s. did not stoned lock arms with other world leaders in this march? >> reporter: it's certainly becoming that look we haven't heard any upset from the french government. people are, mostly in the american press, talking about it. so clearly the white house is having to respond to it. the fact that secretary kerry is coming here thursday certainly doesn't make up for nobody being here on sunday. but many people were incredibly pleads on wednesday of last week when this attack happened the direct intervention by secretary of state kerry in french. >> that really did show for them here a sense of solidarity. clearly, this has become a political storm and people have noticed it. it has been talked about. now the white house is having to react. >> right. look. nobody dedicated the resources to help the french during this situation the way the u.s. did and the friendship is cemented. we know that but it's just something that requires comment and criticism. christiane thanks
