those who fell on 13 november were france, the whole of france.hey were students, journalists, teachers, restauranteurs, drivers, engineers, architects, and also carpenters, photographers, civil servants, advertisers, salesman, artists, they covered all the professions in france, all the talents of the world. they all wanted to succeed, for themselves, for their families , for their country. it's by remembering their faces, their names, but also their hopes and joys, which have been destroyed. we know the enemy -- it's hatred, hatred which killed in o, copenhagen,ak and paris. the enemy is the fanaticism that wants to subject humanity to an inhuman census -- in human system, perverted islam that goes against the holy book. we will assemble the strengths of the republic with our weapons, those of democracy, and with our institutions, and with the rule of law. onthis fight, we can count our soldiers, who are committed to operations in difficult conditions, in syria, in iraq. we can count on our police officers and our justice system, who behaves adm

germany and france. they heard explosions, they heard the attacks taking place outside. and then the fans and spectators had to be locked down inside that national stadium just looking on cell phones to figure out what was going on. and they were left there until seems safe enough to allow them to leave because they were just mu multiple shootings taking place. >> it's 5 minutes past 11:00 a.m. in the morning local time in paris. talk about the scene behind you in terms of who is there, how much is it a police presence, how much is it a media presence, how much is it tourists or neighbors, local residents coming out looking at dismay and shock what's happened. >> you know something, president hollande talked about the fact that this country will not be defeated by what he said was a terrorist attack. we will not be defeated by the terrorists. really striking thing here is that people are back out on the street, there is a real spence of community, you can see behind me the way that the road is cordoned b

the national stadium of france which was hosting a game between france and germany. and you can actually hear an explosion going off. french officials say the attacks included one bombing and two suicide attacks. multiple gunman started to emerge with shooters opening fire on restaurants and cafevev the gunman started firing on a crowd and took hostages before detonating suicide belts as police closed in. the casualty numbers are staggering. the paris prosecutor is reporting upwards of 128 killed with 100 dead at the vatican alone and another 200 injured, making this the worst attack on french soil since world war ii and the first time they have ever attacked the country. french officials say eight attackers have been killed and right now no group has taken responsibility for the attack. france remains in a state of emergency as the president has deployed military around the city. and now, france is waking up to a new world today and let's talk about how these details are being shared. >> a new reality, 1500 members of the army on the streets. we know the airport is

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

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

hollande announced a number of measures and declared that france was at war. >> france is at war.happened friday night in paris and near the stade de france is an act of war. they have killed at least 129 people and injured many more. this is an aggression on this country, its values, its young people, its way of life. >> francois hollande told the joint session of parliament that he would be seeking a prolongation, prolonging all state of emergencies introduced on friday night but also that he would be seeking constitutional change in order to help in the fight against extremism. i am joined now by a spokesperson for the socialist party. thank you for being with us. what kind of constitutional change do you believe we can expect? >> well, we'll get the details, i'm sure, in the next few days. but the issue is really that the constitution was written at a time when these kind of threats didn't exist. an organized, militarized terrorist organization that operates from outside of france. we don't want to have to go through the state of emergency every time something like this happen

france is our oldest ally. the french people have stood shoulder to shoulder with the united states time and again. we want to be very clear that we stand together with them in a fight against terrorism and extremism. paris itself represents the timeless values of human progress. those who think that they can terrorize the people of france or the values that they stand for are wrong. the american people draw strength from the french people's commitment to life, liberty, pursuit of happiness. we're reminded that the bonds of libertye and paternitye are not only values of the french people care so deeply about but they're values that we share. the values will endure far beyond any act of terrorism or the hateful vision of those who perpetrated the crimes this evening. we're going to do whatever it takes to work with the french people and with nations around the world to bring these terroristst to justice and to go after any terrorist networks that go after our people. we don't yet know all the details of what has

here it was targeting air france. it certainly does seem to be related to the horrible tragedy in france. but i am recalling, as an inspector general, we worked another attack on air france, which involved a cyber attack, which involved someone or people systemattically booking the seats on air france, so they would have a terrible financial loss as well. there are a lot of ways to attack an airline. air france has seen it before where it's not isis or some kind of an isis-related terrorism, but whenever you are attacking an airline, whether it's a bomb threat or economic threat. it's terrific. just a different kind. but sadly, i suspect it's possible it's not over. there will be others called in. >> mary, let me give you this information. we are being told that a passenger on board the halifax flight, flight 55 air france, not the one you are looking at now t. one that lanned in halifax. it was en route to paris says an official said it was some kind of security threat, mary. >> well, yeah, a security threat can be e

how could france allow such a thing? >> well, france has special security problems. first of all, it's part of the european union. it is so easy for potential terrorists to get into france. they can get into europe are somewhere in eastern europe, they can use dingies to get into italy. and they have quite a few foreign fighters who are fighting in syria and iraq and are returning to france. france has a pretty sophisticated intelligence effort. we shouldn't it is count thdisc. but the challenge is so enormous with thousands of radicalized individuals just in the city of paris, french intelligence forces are really over their head. >> fred, this is harris. president obama had said just yesterday that isis was contained. what do you think he meant by that and was there something that got missed here and if so, what was it? >> i was stunned when the president said on "good morning america" that isis has been contained. the president has never recognized the threat from radical islam. he's never seen that this has been global threat based on an i'd yol gi. he's tried to

meanwhile, here's a map of france.s across the country. a series of anti-terror raids. agency france presse reporting they happened in calais, grenoble, toulouse, and also reporting that more than a dozen raids near the city of lyon led to five arrests today and the seizure of some impressive arsenal of weapons because among what was seized according to afp was a rocket launcher in lyon. we're getting information about one of the terrorists, bilal hadfi. he was a resident of belgium. he was killed outside the stade de france while carrying out his attack. you'll remember three bombers conducted suicide operations. several sources say hadfi was 19 or 20 years old. he was radicalized quickly and fought in syria. let's bring in senior international correspondent fred pleitgen from paris for the very latest on the investigation. so now we are learning every day the identity of one more or a couple of more of these suicide bombers. tell us about the significance of what we're learning today, fred. >> reporter: well, hala, i

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.

france, f f whaha it is, a country which we consider unique in the world because france speaks to the world. france came under attack for what it represests, for whaha it stands for. for its culture. our principles. but by targeting france, the terrorists, the cowardly murders who are were targeting the world. in these restaurants, cafes, as well as the bataclan. they were men and women, mt of them young. who came from 020 countries at least, who shared the same passion for life. and that's the reason they were murdered. my thoughts are with the friends and family of a young american student, nohemi gonzalez, who came as well to share a moment of culture and joy. i -- pi thoughts go to the at the bataclan. our cultures on that occasion were together. to bring the same enthusiasm and they were hit by terrorists. we are facing a terror group which organized its on a territory. they have substantial resources. they are striving on smuggling of oil, drug, human beings. and since the beginning of the year, they hit many countries. denmark, tunisia, lebanon, kuwait. turkey turkey.. egypt. a

into france. to me that great success of removing borders is what also needs to be reflected on when addressing this issue of what strategy to develop in the coming days and weeks. last point, jeremy, references were made earlier on to refugees and it has come up on a number of occasions and in that respect in the context of what has happened in paris, as horrible as it is, the bill should not be paid by these people. a good chunk of them are middle-class people. teachers, doctors, shopkeepers with their kids. what is striking for the connoisseur when you look at the pictures is that these are usually families with children. the reason they are moving on is precisely because of what's happening in syria. an inability to address those challenges. that's one point that must not be forgotten. the second is that today in the huffington post there was a brilliant piece saying more for europe. the euro crisis, when first corrupting, there were doomsday scenarios of how this was it, the end of european i
