acts of violence that unfolded nearly here at the concert hall, at the stade de france where france and germany were playing soccer, the president of france was in attendance and quickly whisked away. there were also attacked, gunfire and explosions at restaurants and bars, so these atrocities targeted not tourists or staid officials but ordinary young parisians mixing it up on a friday night out. an act of war by a terrorist army, what the president of france has called this and now isis has officially claimed responsibility, we're told by a parisian police official that a syrian passport was found near the body of at least one of the attackers. there were eight in all, seven of them were killed at their own hand by their suicide vests, another one was shot dead in the street. george. >> aaron, thanks very much. our chief investigative correspondent brian ross here right now. what we've heard from the french president this was prepared and coordinated from abroad and that piece of evidence the syrian passport. >> an important clue and know joe night french and u.s. authorities are running name

that scene right there because president francois was there watching the france germany soccer game friday night action i lot of people packed into that we understand that the french president, president was rushed away along with his interior minister so we're hearing that they are safe. but right now it seems that the developing, the truly developing situation is at this hostage situation at the concert hall. we are hear there was a rock concert going on at the time. and to put it in perspective it seems like they are all happening across the city of paris but the 11th aridossment, a very popular area for young people and you could imagine on a friday night it's about 11:00 or so there, just past 11:00 there right now, a lot of people are out, they are enjoying the end of their week and not prepar prepared for something like this this. >>> you can never prepare even though they have dealt with a few terror attacks and just over the last year, i am looking right now at what ms nbc is reporting. they are saying that, again, 26 peel are dead. that's associated press but nsnb nsnbc is saying

as you said, the crowds at that friendly match between france and germany went on to the field, hoping for safety there. president francois hollande was evacuated. around the same time, in the east of paris, shots were fired at a restaurant. terrified diners there fled the scene, and not far away, at the concert hall, the popular concert hall, the bataclan, a hostage situation is still under way. we're hearing around 100 people still being held there, and, of course, the area where the "charlie hebdo" shootings took place in january. president hollande has already spoken to the nation. he has declared a state of emergency. and the anti-hef terror police have been put in charge of the investigation. that shows just how seriously the french government is taking this. >> pelley: elaine, what is it like to be a citizen of paris tonight? >> reporter: it's fridays night, scott. usually, the city is teeming. there are cars around that time streaming in from the suburbs as theater. in the east of paris, it would have been very full. but even as i came, the west of paris, far away from it, very

the second attack at a soccer stadium stade de france, there was a friendly game between germany and france. and the president of france, francois hollande was there, he was evacuated out and been in emergency meetings since then. the third is very much live and ongoing in the 10th district at a theater called bataclan, there are two gunmen and between 60-100 hostages. there are also words of other shootings at other places around the city. do we have walid phares with us or not? no. he's going to be joining us later. i'm joined to my left by ben collins, a retired green beret. ben, we have been mapping this out together, looking at the map. that is officially up right now. there is word of potentially other shootings as well. as a green beret, what would you be doing now to get the hostages out from the theater? >> so, look, to be honest, i think that the ground force commander, right, in this situation, again, they were very good at separating the command and control elements so people have to make the decisions in these four or five different locations, and it seems like there's a

it is a match between germany and france. and so people didn't realize at first what was going on. but authorities did. that blast reportedly, according to nbc news, occurred at a mcdonald's which is basically on the stadium property. but not in the stadium. that is at least what we have on that. so they are keeping people on the field, in the stadium. they want them, according to one source, down on the field, not up in the stands. and the reason that they basically kept playing the match is because they didn't know it was an explosion at the time. they thought it was simply fireworks. the update is still 100 hostages at the -- the concert hall. now they are saying that the hostages were attending a band. it was a band concert. and that -- we don't know how many people were there but we do have police saying that they think it is about 100 hostages. there are reports from bf mtv that said 40 dead. police are sticking with 35. so we are sticking with 35 at least at this point. according to the white house, the president was briefed by lisa monaco, assistant to the president for hom

it was packed tonight for an international soccer match between france and germany. one of those in attendance was france's president, francois hollande. and even though the explosion went off outside and not inside the stadium, we know from footage taken during the soccer match that at least one explosion could be heard while the game was played. [ explosion ] that was roughly 9:30 p.m. local time. obviously, during that big international soccer match before a packed stadium. that was 9:30 p.m. local time. that means it was about 3:30 this afternoon on the east coast of the united states. now, what i'm going to tell you here in terms of the chronology of what happens next, this exact chronology may be revised as we learn more. but the best we understand now is that very shortly after at tack sta the attack started at the stadium with what may not have been just one, may have been two or three bombs, two or three explosions, one, one of which is believed to be a suicide bomber, our best understanding is that within a few minutes of that attack starting outside the sta

intended to assault the crowd of 80,000 as they poured into the game to watch a big match between france and germany. the president of france was there, and the match was being broadcast live across europe. but for reasons we don't know, the bombers were late to the game. [explosion] so they detonated their bombs in a much smaller crowd. one of those bombs was a propane tank in a backpack loaded with screws and bolts. one security source tells us that the bombs at all six locations killed very few victims. nearly all of the dead were shot with kalashnikov machine guns. [rapid gunfire] tonight there are about 300 100 of them are in critical condition. four of the attacks hit restaurants and bars, and a witness at one of the restaurants told us that he saw a gunman firing carefully and accurately, selecting a target, firing three times, and moving to the next. the witness said the gunman had the bearing of a soldier. [gunfire] by far most of the dead came from the bataclan concert hall where an american rock band was playing to a sold-out crowd. witnesses say the terrorists opened fire, then barricade

they occurred outside the soccer stadium where francois hollande was watching a match between france and germany. he was not injured. he was taken to safety. he spoke to his country following the initial wave of violence. sayingnch president is this is one of the moments where france and the country would show their strength. at this point, they have not found out who had carried out this deadly wave of attacks. wase is speculation that it islamic state, but as we have been reporting, there is no claim of responsibility. authorities are saying the shootings in the bombings did take place at seven sites. 4 attackers were killed at the theater. storytinue to follow the and will bring you more information. officials have been telling us there at evening, as we happens in on the wires and our guests have been reporting, unfortunately, the casualty count is probably going to go much higher. back to you. alix: president francois hollande without it to be ruthless -- vowed to be in going after terrorists in a speech outside the bataclan theater. ito former secretary john mclaughlin. -- i now speak to f

resisted by the western countries like france and germany.hese terrorist attacks last are putting more pressure on that. they are saying, we have got to know where terrorists are. if we don't know, we can't keep tabs on them. anna: thank you for joining us. is drawnent putin closer to the west by a common enemy, what does it mean for the russian economy, stuck in recession? could this be the first step toward a thawing of sanctions? let's go to the executive vice president and head of international affairs at the u.s. chamber of commerce. he joins us now from hong kong. let's talk a little bit about the possibility of a thawing of relations between the west and russia. thatou getting a signals that is something that is going to be on the trade agenda in the future? >> first of all, what happened in paris was tragic. the fact that isis is a global threat, not just a french threat. it is great for the united states and russia and france and others are talking about how to combat isis. no expectations that there will be an end of sanctions polic

we thought in defense of democracy, it should be up to britain and france. germany was in their backyard. britain and france collaborated on a policy of appeasement in was1930's where the ideal because they felt guilty about the results of the versailles treaty and the end of world war i, they thought, let's give the germans what they want. let's give hitler what he wants in hopes of buying them off. this was not a good strategy for anyone who had read mein kampf and taken it seriously. hitler states plainly that his intention should he come to power is to wage a war for territory in eastern europe and build this massive german empire. while the warning signs were there, frequent roosevelt in 1937 gave what becomes known as the quarantine speech where he did not mention any country specifically. people sort of understood who he was talking about, but when he put forward this idea that we should quarantine aggressive nations, there was a tremendous outcry in the american public and he basically had to pull back from that position. we were not prepared for when war br

again, that soccer match was between france and germany. the french president was also there at that time. he was there for the game. he was taken to a secure area happening. at the time right now there's also a hostage situation happening at the bataclan concert hall in paris. the "associated press" says at least 15 people are reported dead there as many as 100 hostages are being held there. that's still an ongoing situation. another incident earlier this evening in paris, a shootout at a restaurant where bfn television reports several people also dead there. again, it is unclear if all of these events are related or could be part of a terrorist- related attack. here in new york, the nypd says it is watching the situation very, very closely. the u.s. department of homeland security is also monitoring that but says right now, there is no known credible threat against the united states. again, the "associated press" reporting at least 35 people dead at this point. we'll continue to monitor this story and bring you more information as it beco
