christian fraser is on the champs elysees now. you we re is on the champs elysees now.ere there when this incident started. yes, we were. i will try to set the scene a little bit for you. we are looking down onto the plas delle i2. we are looking down onto the plas delle 12. you can see the traffic going around. just beyond that, that is the champs elysees going down towards concours, most has been sealed off. just above the metro station, that is where the coordinates. it understand that attack was further down the champs elysees than that. where we were standing, we were about to broadcast at 8:50pm and we got scenes like this, police cars flying past us, one almost took at a pedestrian, and they were coming from all directions. it was clear the warning had gone out on police radios, ambulances were coming down here, and right now we're watching the helicopter, which is making its way up helicopter, which is making its way up and down the champs elysees. and on the underground pass, we had armed police officers here, and we have had armed police officers at the end of

on the champs-elysees.tay back. please stay back. ladies and gentlemen, stay back, please.|j mean, and gentlemen, stay back, please.” mean, look exactly where this attack will have taken place. this is the champs—elysees, one of the most famous roads, not just champs—elysees, one of the most famous roads, notjust in france, in the world. we are still getting more details on precisely where the attack happened. let's speak to james reynolds who is monitoring this story from the bbc newsroom in paris. what information do you have, james? we are keeping an eye on the french channels. they suggest something similar to what you have said, there was a car, in which there was an attacker, these initial reports say he got out and fired towards the police. there are other questions to be answered, were the others in the car, what's happened to that car, with the police targeted, remember there are lots of police on the champs—elysees. our colleague christian fraser has brought these pictures. i was on a side street

christian was just by the champs—elysees.n this story was developing, but we are clear now it has happened. is is still ongoing? do we know if this is still ongoing? do we know if this isa is still ongoing? do we know if this is a live situation? there are a lot of conflicting reports so i do not wa nt to of conflicting reports so i do not want to put information at the that might not stand up but there are reports quoting police sources that there is another attack of are looking for. i havejust there is another attack of are looking for. i have just seen footage sent to me by people who are in paris of what looks to be the immediate aftermath of the shooting, and you can see the police van in the car that was pulled up right alongside it, and what you picture in the image is a police man putting his gun down on the pavement as if they just just killed the his gun down on the pavement as if theyjustjust killed the attacker had just literally come upon them. we are also hearing from various news reports, unconfirmed, two poli

normally the champs—elysee, that's a normal thursday afternoon and thursday night at the champs—elysees closed, or almost. ina in a brief statement, the paris prosecutor said that the gunman had been identified. translation: the identity of the attacker is known, and it has been verified. i won't reveal it, as investigations and searches are already taking place to determine whether or not he had any accomplices. that brief statement, but we won't get that name until they know whether that gunman had any accomplices. a little earlier on my colleague spoke to the uk ambassador to france between 2012 and 2016. she began by asking for his reaction to these events in paris. well, this does have all the hallmarks of another terrorist attack, doesn't it? it is a deliberate, targeted attack on police, on one of the highest profile streets in france, with thousands of tourists than people around, as it would be on any evening. so this clearly was intended to attract the maximum attention. it is a very sensitive time in france, just before the election. how significant, then, is the location? w

it took place on the champs—elysees, which leads from the champs—elysees, which leads from the arc dee manager. it happened 300 metres away from the arc de triomphe itself. the government got out of the car and fired an automatic weapon, before being shot dead by police. media reports say he was known to the intelligence services, at a police search is under way at his home, near paris. the islamic state group says it carried out the shooting, naming the attacker as a belgian, a view user. it comes days before the first round of the french president to elections. —— abu youssef. you have to stay back, please. the area is dangerous because of shotguns. please stay back. tonight, france's worst fears realised, yet another terror attack and just two days before an all—important presidential election here. 0ne policeman killed, another seriously injured in a shooting on the emblematic and busy champs elysees. translation: i was walking on the pavement, there was a bus full of police, the man parked just in front of the bus, then got out a kalashnikov and then he shot six times. i thought

a bus down the champs—elysees, they pulled overa bus and down the champs—elysees, they pulled over amarked police cars that pulled up six unmarked police cars that pulled up alongside it and very heavily armed police officers jumped up alongside it and very heavily armed police officersjumped out and pulled every on that bus. that seemed to suggest, withoutjumping to conclusions, that someone had gone back bus and they were looking for someone else because there were other buses going around that that the left well alone, said there was a reason they were looking for someone a reason they were looking for someone else because there were other buses going around etoile that the left well alone, said there was a reason the pull—back the left well alone, said there was a reason the pull— back passover. the left well alone, said there was a reason the pull—back passover. in terms of the scene now, there are not that many armed police on the side streets now, it is very much focused on the champs—elysees, but we have not seen people come out of the buildings, and there are a lot of cafes

definitely we had to stay away from the champs elysee. i live not very far from the champs elysee. about two kilometres. but i stopped at a friend's place while the sector is waiting to be opened again. but yes, of course, tonight, definitely the champs elysee is closed and all the champs elysee is closed and all the tourists and prescience are asked not to enter the sector. thank you forjoining us there, waleed haddad. islamic state militants have said that one of their fighters carried out the attack. understandably, a lot of people feel it is rather distasteful to give such claims an airing, but this claim came in. a brief statement on the official social media account of the islamic state group. it identified the attacker as a belgian by the name of abu youssef. we used to islamic state clement is attacked his own work, or the work of people who are said to be affiliated or associated with them. no further information was given. on the lion is miles redpath. what did you hear? —— maz redpath. on the lion is miles redpath. what did you hear? -- maz redpath. within minutes, about

barbara -- on the champs-elysees.ou just returned from paris, what was it like there? >> they did not deal much with terror because france has had a period of calm. it was about this totally unexpected race between four candidates. this has never happened before in french history. the two main parties are not certain of one of them making it into the second round. it is a neck and neck race. we have the extreme left and the very extreme right. did we have one totally new person in manuel noriega -- manuel macron. and then we have the traditional candidate from the conservatives francois fillon. this is a interesting field that has occupied the french because of the tension is very high. the polls even said that it might be possible that the left winger and right winger would make it into the second round which would mean on april 6, the french which is between two very extreme parties. which is very unheard of. it is a period of great insecurity and political tension and unrest in france at the moment. these elections

champs-elysees was packed. hundreds of pedestrians and cars on one of the liveliest streets in the world. a lot of people would have witnessed something fairly shocking. >> thank you so much. i want to go to hala gorani in london. what are you learning about the shooting? >> we're hearing from our affiliate that one of the police officers who was injured in this attack has in fact lost his life. he's been killed. the toll that we have is one police officer killed, one seriously wounded and an attacker, quote, taken down as this massive police operation continues. you're not used to seeing the champs-elysees like this. police vans, one after another, bumper to bumper with their lights flashing there as this big police operation continues to unfold. you know, it's not a massive surprise that an attack has taken place on the champs-elysees. authorities in france said they foiled a, quote, imminent attack on sunday. just a few months ago, authorities told us they foiled an attack in the south of france. there was t

a guardsman was killed on the champs—elysees. —— gunmen.sident says that the motive was clear. translation: we are convinced that the investigations will show that it was terrorist in nature. this is the scene live in paris where the champs—elysees remains sealed. anti—terrorist raids are being carried out. the so—called islamic state says it was behind the attack. hello and welcome to this special coverage. a major anti—terrorist operation is taking place in paris after a gunman opened fire on a police bus in the capital, killing one officer and winning two others. the incident took place in one of the city's most there boulevard is, at the champs—elysees, which leads from the arc de triomphe down. it was about 300 metres away from the arc de triomphe. the gunman was shot by police. media reports say he was known to the intelligence services, and the police search is under way at his home near paris. islamic state says it carried out the attack, saying that the attack was carried out by someone called abu youssef. will be live in paris in

that is the champs elysees the other side.oadcasting one or two police cars when pastors, then all directions, clearly would have got out on police radios that fellow officers were in difficulty. there was a rather bizarre situation where they stopped a bus on the roundabout that goes around the arc de triomphe. about six police cars swooped on this bus, armed police got out. clearly they thought someone was on that bus trying to get away. for the hour that followed, there was a lot of panic here as people tried to get away from the area. there were armed police at the end of each street. clearly, quite a serious situation developed over the course of the next hour, because the police just didn't know what they were dealing with. christian fraser with the latest in paris. we can spread to europe editor katya adler in our paris studio. this attack has taken place three days before the first round of the french presidential elections. what could the impact be? first let me tell you the reason i'm in the bureau, we are just 200 y

of course, there are a lot of police on the champs—elysees at any time.e a targeted attack on the police force in france. you were clearly the ambassador in paris during some very tumultuous times. there has really been a state of emergency in place for some time. what more can the french authorities do in terms of providing more security? i don't think there is much more. they were already planning on an extra 50,000 security forces out and about in france for the elections on sunday. so i don't think there's any more in terms of security they can do. the experience in paris from a year and a half ago, the bataclan attacks, was that people were very determined not to let the terrorists change their way of life or block them off what they were intending to do. so i think the reaction in paris will be one of resilience and determination not to be cowed by this attack. but obviously it will increase anxiety and tension. there was already one plot disrupted in marseille a couple of days ago, so this does show that france is that a very, very high level of th

there were thousands of people on the champs—elysee as usual.rm, as at orly airport with the attack on a soldier. that's correct. the attack, if it went for longer, who knows what would have happened? there may have been a transition to more targeting of tourists or the like but he obviously went straight for the security services right at the very outset. and in fact in a number of attacks linked back to isis security services have been targeted. in the wake of the charlie hebdo attacks, there was a targeting ofa hebdo attacks, there was a targeting of a policewoman. there was the awful attack where an attacker went on to facebook live after it was done where a couple with a policeman being one of those killed and their child, a four—year—old, was on the facebook live video. so the security services have been a special target for a variety of reasons and, sadly, today was no exception. only one attacker at the scene, police say they are checking for accomplices. i think it was reported that an arrest warrant was issued for one possible accompli

police say the attack occurred just a block away in the champs—elysees.nts to know is that they would have on. the police want to make sure that all nearby streets are now safe. officers kept their handguns drawn. they searched eve ryo ne handguns drawn. they searched everyone coming out of a nearby building. i was shocked to make him out of the subway. police in riot gear approach been put into the side. they would not allow me to go. the country will now investigate the shooting and make sure that its plans for sunday's presidential election are in place. in a brief statement, the paris prosecutor, francois molins, said the gunman had been identified. translation: the identity of the attacker is known, and it has been verified. i won't reveal it, as investigations and searches are already taking place to determine whether or not he had any accomplices. walid haddad was in a cafe facing the george the fifth hotel, just off the champs elysees, when the shooting started. —— george v hotel. i was sitting at a cafe in front of the famous george v hotel in th
