specifically in france. the experts say there's about 1,500 french nationals who are either in syria right now fighting with isis or have gone to syria and trained with isis and maybe thought of coming back. in fact, that has been the largest fear, that there could be blowback from that activity. and that is the fear right now, that this could be happening right now here in france. the deep-seated hatred for france is easy to play out for these islamists. but i think the key thing is this is not a get out of jail free card for the united states. there are homegrown terrorists in the united states as well. and the big thing that these islamists are upset with france about is the war against isis and of course we all know that the united states is leading that war against isis. what is france prepared to do? french president hollande is talking big. the united states better be thinking big as well according to analysts here, back to you, martha. >> greg, thank you. we'll talk about that quite a bit coming up.

france has the largest number. that is why you're seeing police on the streets of the capitol of france. this is historic what we're seeing now. waging a battle. maybe very limited but idea that there is fire fight in paris, a few days after a terrorist attack to extract individuals who may have been or who are part of the network is an image that did not exist ten years ago. >> yes. walid, tom, stay with me here. i want to bring people in and bring them an update of what is going on here. what we're looking now at is video of authorities in paris suburb, they're telling residents as we heard from our own steve harrigan to stay inside. two officials say it's linked to last week's deadly attacks, the deputy mayor of that area told one of the television stations in france that there have been many gunshots, as we're hearing, throughout the evening, gunshots and detonations in the operation that began around 4:25 a.m. their time, in the. the site is less than two kilo meters, 1.2 mielles from you fr the stadium target

france is going to strike isis. russia would rebel but would not do the difference between french and russian bombs. we are going to be considerate. the threat is in france and to destroy the isis organization quickly to preserve the peace in europe to prevent future attacks. another massive attack in france will be a disastrous. we have seen that france's raising and in 2017 will have the presidential election. so we have to destroy isis opposition. thank you. >> okay, thank you. very provocative, very interesting. olivia. >> think of her much. what i'm going to try to do for you is to try to outline the french foreign policy response to the attacks in paris. first of all i should say that a large part of the response is a domestic response. most of president addressed to both the house a week ago were devoted to domestic issues, homeland security mainly and a necessity to maintain national unity. so setting this apart, apart, i will focus more specifically on the form policy elements of the response which are key

inside france. the intelligence services, i was told by some experts in france already yesterday knew that something was coming. they didn't know how and where and when but they knew there was an action. this is basically goichange theh are going to deal with the issue on two grounds quickly. ground number one, what we're going to see over the next few days is a decision that they will have to make inside france not on syria, not on iraq yet. inside france. there is a whole network and they know it of individuals who got training in syria and iraq and came back to france. will the government go after them now or not is the big question. >> wall lead, walid, we have video and i want want to warn our viewers it is fairly graphic. we have video of some of the people running out to escape these horrific attacks. it's important that we show it, at least occasionally so that those of us in america who have not personally experienced this kind of thing before see what these animals really are capable of. o

france is ready to defend itself. we also know, kelly, as we have been telling you that one of these incidents took place just north of france at a stadium. initial reports had said that mcdonald's was the site of one of those explosions. we can now confirm that mcdonald's was not -- not -- the site of the attack. mcdonald's said two of our restaurants are temporarily closed as local law enforcement officials have cordoned off the area. so now at this point, we do not know what the site of those explosions were. but we have it from mcdonald's that it was not at their restaurant. as you know, there was a soccer match going on between france and germany at that time. while these attacks were simultaneously taking place in various parts of france. paris specifically, obviously. we do not know if there are four or five incidents in paris. the reports are now at four. the soccer game still went on, because it was hard to tell exactly what was happening. so we're going to roll a piece of tape, take a listen. >> once again,

our affiliate in paris, france, is reporting of a third incident in paris, france now.t. this one in the eleventh district. we're told that in one of these locations, we're not sure which one, there are these three incidents. there is an incident in the tenth district that is at the restaurant, a trendy district popular with young people in east paris. there is this other incident with guns, gunfire in the eleventh district. and then there is this third location where explosions were heard at the stade de france, a france national stadium where the soccer match was going on. french president hollande francois was. it is locked down. this is all eerily and disturbingly reminiscent of what we covered in january when there were attacks on the offices of "charlie hebdo" in paris. i believe in the eleventh district, if i'm not mistaken, of paris. and then there were two other attacks although they were not coincided. they did not happen all at the same time. but obviously this looks, jim, again it's early reports now, initial reports, but we're told 18 dead according to our

france was put on a war footing. the president of france stating this is an act of war and attack on all humanithumanity. he was supposed to go to the g20 summit. he was unable to do so in order to take care of his country. france, subsequent do those attacks began launching air strikes on isis in rack kqqraqq syria, russia joining the attacks because of the attack on the plane on the sinai peninsula, isis took credit for, russian authorities were able to find out what uk and u.s. investigators determined some time ago, that it was a bomb, a homemade bomb, vladimir putin vowing revenge, and now here we are today where we've seen the last four or five hours, a police intervention in the neighborhood close to where it all began friday the 13th. police intervention resulting in the death of one suspect, a female, who was wearing a suicide vest or belt, another suspect and believed three others are in there. one of the things we want to report on is the fact that police believe they're after the mastermind -- excuse me i

france is at war. but he says, it is not a battle of civilizations because isis represents no civilization. here are the latest details in the paris terror attack investigation. an urgent international search is under way right now for the brother of one dead attacker. belgian born french citizen salah abdeslam. ops failed to catch him in a raid this morning. police tell the public he is dangerous. do not approach him. they had him. they questioned him on a highway on the way to belgium not hours after the attack but let him go. we have more information, also, about the isis connection. two members of the terror group are thought to have masterminded the paris attacks. they are believed to be in iraq or syria right now and have french and belgian connections. cnn's french affiliate reports six attackers, six of the eight people believed to be primarily responsible for the attacks on friday spent time in syria. as i said, french president francois hollande addressed a french session of parliament a shor

he is saying of france is closing its borders, and france is now under a state of emergency. again, these terrifying numbers are coming out. at least 100 hostages killed at the concert hall. over 12 others killed at the restaurant. 1500 soldiers are being mobilized. is president of france closing the borders and instituting a state of emergency. he has canceled his trip. he was going to attend the g20. he will stay at home, of course, understandably. this is the deadliest wave of violence in modern french history. cory: thank you. i will run you through what the world leaders have had to say. french president francois "there ares said, several persians dead, much more wounded." president obama said, "this is an attack on humanity." british by minister david cameron said, "i am shocked by the events in paris. my thoughts and prayers are with the french people. we will do whatever we can to help." alix: joining us on the phone is the vice president and global terrorism analyst at stratford. riva, how do you start connecting the dots? riva: we have to look at the identities of t

tell me that the united states stood by france, that the help that could be provided to france would have no limit and that we had a duty, a joint duty, to pull our forces together and fight terrorism. i do not forget either all of the messages that the american people septembnt to the french e over the past few days. the french colors, the french flags all around in many gatherings, these candles in places that represent france here in the united states, la marsellaise, our national anthem sung in official ceremonies. it is true that 9/11, we all felt americans but after the 13th of november, americans felt french. our two peoples together merged as one, sharing the same emotions and also the same willingness to fight for freedom, to stand for our values. we are not two similar peoples. we each have our own history. we have our own culture, our own background, but we share the same trust, the same faith in freedom. it is france that came under attack on the 13th of november. france for what it is, the country which we consider unique in the world because france speaks to the world.
