france has high youth unemployment.loyment is something that muslim youths are suffering from and mostly muslim youths that live in suburbs where they feel left on the sides of french society. there's also very strong discrimination in the workforce against children of immigration in france. these are issues that france is now going to be beyond just a day of mourning. today of course is a day of national mourning. but these issues that we've mentioned are going to come to the fore in the coming days and weeks. there's going to be a lot of gazing at france's society. >> natalie, thanks so much for talking with us. as we were speaking we just got the information that france's interior minister who you saw speaking earlier, what he was saying when he was talking to the press there, was that the man who shot the policeman is still on the run. we'd heard from the mayor that one individual had been arrested. so we still don't really know what we're dealing with here. but we're looking at these live pictures from a suburb in

prime minister of france said france without the jews would no longer be france.rance without jews is not france. this is what he said and this again is a real good point. not considering political belongings and politician quarrels. >> rose: and what about the far right. what happened lawpen and what about the spirit of nationalism and what about those who argue in an anti-immigrant message? >> again, againr9often it proved to be wrong. everybody believed that lapen extreme right would take advantage of the situation. it was a general belief that lapen would say, you see, i said it before and that she would take benefit out of it. it proves wrong. lapen is for the moment completely out of the game. she made a whole mess, completely stupid saying that she wanted to be invited to the demonstration as if it were a party. mrs. lapen probably mixing -- in vienna when she was a few years ago. and the demonstration in paris where there is no bristol you go with your heart and with your mttshe said i was not invited. and as i am not invited i will not go. and she went in

ambassador to france. samuel laurent, a french journalist bob baer is here again with me as well as shadi hamid, brookings institution fellow. i want to begin with you, if i can, samuel laurent. i spoke to a number of french today who noticed that american absence, senior american absence. i should note for our viewers the american attorney general was in france today, continues to be here for security meetings but did not go to the rally. were the frnchench people disappointed by that? >> i would say clearly, yes, because if you remember after september 11th the president was the first, if i recall to come and visit that time the u.s. after this terrible this massive attack. well actually in this circumstances on the other hand what we can say is the visit was extremely rushed for leaders and that we all know that the u.s. is having very strict security and safety rules and that obviously i would say moving the u.s. president in this place, and it's such a time would have been hazardous as much as it was

and i think that france __ i have a bit more confidence in the people of france than i do the politicians of france. >> i wanted to ask you about that and about the __ the reaction of ordinary french people's. because if you look away from the international angle of this for just a moment aand focus on france, the tensions that do exist between different communities in france __ whether they be jewish, muslim, or christian __ what you think france is when it comes to getting to grips with these issues and with these tensions that we are seeing between different communities? >> i think whenever you see it media attention tthat concerns one particular group, even if it is not a representative member of the group and that person is doing something bad, that whole group __ especially if it is in the northeast __ will be tired. we see that with the mexican community in the u.s.. and we see that here with the muslim community, and even sometimes the jewish communities. >> has there been backlash against the muslims? they have been very quick to condemn the attacks. >> my question is __ in a cer

the prime minister of france said, france without the jews would no longer be france. france without jews is not france. this is what he said and this again is a real good point. not considering political belonging and politicians' quarre >> what aboutls. the far right, what about le pen and those who argue an anti-immigrant message? >> again as it happens often, expect to be proven wrong. everyone believed that marine le pen and the extreme right would take advantage of the situation. there was a general belief that marine le pen would say you see and she would take benefit out of it. it proves wrong. le pen is for the moment completely out of the game. she made the whole mess completely stupid saying that she wanted to be invited to the demonstration as if it were a party. mrs. le pen probably mixing [indiscernible] in vienna. a demonstrationnd to the, you go with your heart and your feet. she said i was not invited. and as i am not invited, i will not go. and she went in a city far from paris where she feels at home to make her own sad and small [indiscernible] she

it is clear that in france there is only one story. >> starting with less a guerrilla -"france on its feet." the newspaper estimates that 3.5 million people across the whole of france set out to show their solidarity with the work of charlie hebdo and obviously against terrorism, which seems a little conservative. later in the day yesterday, that seems to suggest it could be higher. they think 1.5 million in paris. even so, it describes the event of a human tidal wave. if that were not taboo, it gives cropping up in many of the papers in france, and it means, "on your feet" or should -- or "standing." they have a one-word headline and one of the reasons it is being used is because the editor in chief of charlie hebdo, when there were fire bombs in 2011, he said very famously and has been quoted a great many times in the past few days that he would rather die standing than live on his knees. of course, this word debout coming up again and again, the gathering could not have been more appropriate. if you are wondering what the statute is at the center of the square, because so many of u

standing with france is what we're calling our coverage.ety and security a show of unity. the synagogue closed its doors, did not hold sabbath services for the first siem since world war ii. specifically the anti-semitic attacks at the jewish supermarket on friday. i'm jake tapper with my partner christhian amanpour. we've been referring to a tidal wave of humanity. now we have a better idea of how many people. >> indeed. as you say, an hour ago the interior ministry was saying it's unprecedented and we cannot give you the numbers. now they're telling us according to various news reports here 1.5 million people turned out in paris. across the country, it was more than 3 million people. that you know is something that goes to the heart of how this has touched this country, but also so much of the rest of of the world. people tuning in and we have viewers, obviously from the united states and all over the world. people have been tuning in to this disaster that has gripped this country since wednesday. this fundamental, two-pronged attack on t

i commend france for what it did today. i think france has changed its policy. because it's become a victim of attack. when it was not the victim of attack, when it was trying to play the game of don't attack us, and we'll very gently let you off the hook. germany did the same thing. england did the same thing. and i'm not suggesting countries are bad because they want a palestinian state. i think countries have bad policy whence they reward hamas and palestinians who have refused to accept israel's two-state solution repeatedly. palestinians have six times rejected offers of a two-state solution. why you reward the rejectors and punish those who made the offer. that's rewarding terrorism. i think, lawrence, we can agree that when you reward any terrorist, you reward the concept of terrorism. that's what i meant. if i was imprecise, you can give me a b-minus. i'm happy to come back, though, anytime if we can have a civil, legitimate conversation. just have to give me a little advanced warning what the subject is going to be. then we can have a good conversation.

the french are asking the question, why so many in france. it's not only france. the uk and france are neck and neck with the number of radicals who have been traveling back and forth. germany and denmark are all up there. it is not just a french problem. >> not just a french problem and we also know that there was a terror attack in belgium against a jewish museum. there is a growing attention between the jewish community feeling targeted by the radical muslim community and the muslim community at large, the larger community feeling very much under siege from the french majority community. >> there was no coincidence this was an attack on a kosher super market. in fact the two brothers and we know quite a bit about the kouachi brothers. the older brother was the ringleader and more often getting into trouble. he served time in french prison. he said that his initial intent was to attack jewish targets in france, but that in 2005 he met a radical cleric who was a janitor with no real religious training, but he made himself a cleric. this individual convinced cheri

i am france.of the particular history, for you it's a history of irreverence. for me it felt more angry, nasty than that. but which clearly never should allow this kind of violence. and so i guess i wonder if the act of standing in a public space, knowing there is the possibility of increased violence is an act of courage. we will stand here. you won't scare us away with our fellow men and women. >> being black in the united states and walking down the street is courage for me. one thing as an american and i look at them from the perspective, here we are calling for a unity rally. there's going to be hundreds of thousands of people. in our country here we have editorials calling for the unwarranted surveillance. congressman peter king former mayor giuliani saying we have to get mosques to the u.s. we have to up the count terrorism effort. so while we're trying to create unity, in the united states we continue to divide communities in the country and what that does, is the impact that it has. the f

that's a feature of france. one other feature, and i'll talk about it more than you wish is france had an engagement with the muslim world that is longer and intimate than is the case for britain and germany. algerians came to france to work and france after a long and bloody and heart wrenching fight in algeria over independents has never really left former colonies france is engaged economically and militarily where it once had power. in libya, syria, mallia they are bombing. it makes france enemy number two for the jihadists after america. >> it may be a triumph of geography rather than colonialism because the empire chock full of muslims was on the other side of the planet. i think we should be careful about generalising about french muslims, there are people of long duration in france of short duration in france people who are fully eculturated and people who are part of a separate nation within a nation. >> absolutely. it's a very very diverse population and one thing - there wasn't much consistency when i

ties inside france.ontext of what the french authorities are dealing with. it is the largest muslim population in europe and also probably the most dangerous and most extremist. >> also ambassador, as a country getting an ak 47 isn't as easy as going to the neighborhood u hardware store and picking one up. they have two. they have extra clips of ammunition. it seems to be an automatic weapon. how do they get these in? they had some dexterity in using them. >> there's no way given the amount of people who are able to traverse france's borders. as a member of the european union, you can make it with an ak 47 to an island in greece. if empoweryou're able to get across the border of greece and smuggle it in you can make it to paris. it's not as if they had to cross the prench boarder. the smuggling of weapons is nowhere as difficult as people may perceive it to be. >> the ak 47s were originally created in the then soviet union. there are factories throughout the world in eastern europe. there's factories in

also several rallies in cities and towns in france. marseille is france's second-largest city. dana, this is the south of france and you've been saying a big show of support there. >> yes there is a large gathering, a large show of solidarity condemn condemning the violence were last week. today was about the unity to stick together and overcome this. we talked to a lot of people here and people are in shock. they're afraid, and they believe this could just be the beginning. this is not going to be an one-off attack. there could be further attacks. we've heard french officials say time and time again over the past few days about the security measures they've been taking. you see the police strength on the streets but people are not comfortable. some of them even told us that the enemy is within. what are they talking about? border control. this is not going to change anything. the attackers were born and raised in our country. people are in shock. they're afraid that this could be just the start. >> politically right-wing parties have quite a bit of strength in marseille. is th

>> i very much think this is an extraordinary show of display not just for france, but for france to show the world that it stands united against what happened in france and certainly to show solidarity for the victims of the atrocity. i think beyond the message about the defense of free speech, the overwhelming concern and the more fundamental concern at the heart of this demonstration is one of security and indeed, the fight against terrorism. that's why we are seeing word leaders congregating in the french capitol because of an acknowledgment that terrorism is indeed a threat. of course this was a major attack that we haven't seen the scale of in decades in france. there will have to be practical measures put in place by the french government to ensure safety and security for all. this is very important symbolic demonstration, but of course this will ever to be translated into political action. >> an important symbolic rally but is it going to be translated into policy, do you think? >> we worry there will be more security measures. after the 2001 terror attacks in the united stat

m burnett france has a strong -- let's remember that france has a strong muslim population. these leaders call other people to take to the street. this is about france, about the world reacting to what happened. it is, i think, an active resistance. >> at this juncture it is extraordinary that you have the israeli prime minister and the palestinian president, and also the jordanian king, marching in close proximity. again, this is a region where there are problematic religious differences, and i think that says a lot about the fact that these three individuals are -- none of them have raised the problem about the other being there. the fact that they are all standing together, in close proximity, says a lot. one can only hope that it becomes like group therapy where you have the opportunity to bring together individuals and hopefully start some form of dialogue. i think we have reached a turning point. >> on a political level, we haven't seen the russian foreign minister. i believe you somewhere there -- i believe he is somewhere there. you also see poroshenko. it is a very

in 2003 france led opposition to the iraq war. ten years later france has been the first to join forces with the u.s. in the war against isil. in libya france was part of the operation which ousted caw daufy. but they are much more sensitive when it comes to europe. i'm joined now by remi pierre an assistant professor at qatar university. how do you describe french foreign policy in recent years. we were talking about their opposition to the iraq war, ten years later a much more interventionist at proech proech -- approach. >> yes, france opposed the war in iraq because it was fought on the false [ inaudible ] of weapons of mass destruction. and france was part of the coalition in afghanistan in 2001 2, and 3. the question is fighting against terrorism. and in the case of fighting against terrorism, whether you are looking on the right or left of politics there has been a consensus there should be a fight against terrorism. >> in 2003 you are right about what you say on the basis of the foundation of weapons as mass destruction us

how does france heal and out as france integrate its population and how do they move on from this? that is the conversation that is occurring with alarming velocity in paris. >> as i look at our coverage this morning and the ramifications within europe and across the united states and indeed around the world, i've got to go back to the idea that one of these men at large has a record that goes back 10 years including three years roughly of incarceration. they knew who these guys were, didn't they? [applause] >> they knew the younger one. in 2005, he was arrested for trying to funnel jihadists from france to iraq. he did time in present and was let out and authorities apparently were monitoring him. he was under surveillance but apparently not close enough. interesting to note that in 2005, the time of his initial arrest, his lawyer described him as a young by drift non-devout muslim who delivered pizza and smoked hashish, not someone who would be interested in waging jihad. something happened between then and now. the questions that authorities are asking is how did these two frenc

>> right now spontaneous rallies and almost every city in france and also have those outside of france. there is consensus about acting on this. the event is supposed to be at 10:00 a.m. and got a call from wing parties and includes his own party because he was closer to the left wing parties traditionally calling demonstrations in the streets. the question will be whether the party will join that march or not. >> reporter: we have not heard from cmub yet? >> a brief declaration and should be some kind of national alliance on issues and france should be extremely strong in its answers but on his quest to regain power and support along. >> reporter: eye to 2017. >> exactly. announcer: election. >> and now already said she would not join the rally. >> reporter: how significant is that? >> well she is definitely trying to play her own card and always said that if it's right or left wing or politics and moving away from republican pack and her claim is she is trying to say he was a failure for minorities and playing a political card at expense of defense of traditional values such as freed

they too saying france's national anthem. outside the french consulate in istanbul turks gathered holding je suis charlie signs,too. >> i stand firmly against these evidence, which have nothing to do with islam. >> at scotland yard in london, police observed two minutes of silence. the chief constable made a statement and french to his colleagues across the channel. >> [speaking french] >> more peaceful gatherings are expected in the following days in and outside france, and "charlie hebdo" will publish one million copies of its next issue on wednesday as a determination to show that violence cannot stifle freedom of speech in france. >> it was lovely to see that british police officer they're showing his solidarity in french, wasn't it? >> it is quite remarkable. you see people in countries around the world really moved and shocked by this attack. >> and the key is that last phrase the freedom of press, that is what is under attack. you would expect after the world trade center attacks or the bombings at the metros of new yo

how much are france's foreign policiespolicies part of the problem? >> definitely, it's true that france who had nothing to do in this policy, it is a policy not in its interest, because it searches on this the interests of america and israel, and france sent people to syria or to train over there and these people are marked by the situation of the muslims in france and some of them would turn to do some violence. now, the link between this large group is the middle east, i'm not sure if it's really true, the truth or it's a manipulation. you know, i'm not sure of the link between coulibaly even if he said that. there are a lot of manipulations of people, and the secret services are strong enough to do a lot of manipulation, so if it's in your interest to imply that organization, yes. >> jacob finally let me ask you about some of the pictures we've seen. that we saw the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu in attendance standing right by the french president hollande, so leaders from israel, from russia attending this unitie marsh. they are count

in france, i think it is particularly bad. i think it will serve to strengthen the right in france. i think it will tend to do is push the millions of happily fully integrated french muslims into the camp where they feel increasingly non-welcome. the real danger is the response will radicalize ordinary people ordinary muslims who have nothing to do with fundamentalism. in some sense, the reaction will only lead a further breakdown of french society. that will only aid the extremists. >> will that push france over the brink? >> france has stayed on the brink for so long without tipping over. what philip said is absolutely right. polls taken last year show that a very large number of voters and supporters thought there were too many immigrants. the french asked how many immigrants there are in france. the average response is three times the actual number. there is this malaise, undoubtedly. on the other side, the non-integration of second-generation immigrants those living in the suburbs, is a problem which french governments have failed to deal with. >> you've got a situation where t

it was the first time my mother returned to france since she had fled from france during world war ii. i remember the noise. we saw the ruins of paris that had been bombed and the home in which she lived which was destroyed. only a stone staircase with a few chimneys stood. it was only years later i fully understood the incredible price paid by the generations in the resistance, the price they paid for freedom. the soldiers left the factories to save the world from tyranny. no nation knows better than france that freedom has a price because france was at -- originated many revolutions, including our own american revolution. our commitment in favor of freedom of speech, of expression as an inspiration for the world as a whole. words are often powerless to describe the deep emotions i felt when i saw so many people from all over, from near and far, to parade, too much together -- to march together. those who wanted to divide us, ended up bringing us closer together. what the extremists. the most was precisely that. -- feared was precisely that. nobody must get this wrong. the extremists

she reportedly left france before the attacks began.laire williams has more. >> wearing a white headscarf she showed passport and is allowed on to turkish territory. hayat boumeddiene was the partner of parachute or. she was traveling with a french citizen of north african origin not on the watch list. they attract the local authorities'suspicion. the prime minister said the country shared their intelligence with friends. >> immediately shared with french intelligence and we hope this cooperation against terrorism will bring favorite results. >> january 4, hayat boumeddiene took a the mystic flight near the syrian border. on january 8, she is believed to cross into syria, the same day that france said they were looking for her. >> the perpetrators were french nationals. these people were in prison for 16 months. 16 months later they got out of prison. wouldn't they follow them if they were released? >> turkey has become a transit route for those joining jihadists. turkey has said with 35 million foreigners coming to the country, authori

ambassador to france jane hartley.a very moving editorial this week, jake in, one of the main newspapers her,. le monde. as we pause to mourn the loss of life, i'm reminded how people of france showed support for us in the aftermath of 9/11. a show of support, unity and defiance here in the streets of paris as police and the french government tell us that they have everyone possible on the streets keeping an eye and keeping it safe. jake? >> thank you so much for that report. obviously there is concern about continued terrorist attacks in france as well as concern among american authorities about what the sophistication and execution of the terrorist attack, particularly the one on the offices of the french magazine charlie hebdo on wednesday but also the other attack on the kosher supermarket. what that might mean for american counter-terrorism officials going forward, what lessons can be learned? how can attacks like that be prevented going forward in the united states? let's bring in our counter terrorism expert wit

this is not as true in france. these two tensions, very real tension about immigration, and then this horrible radicalization it leads to acts like this. >> what you suggest, i've heard from interviews, the polarization of a major city in europe is different than in america. the muslim or the jury in part of paris is further removed from the paris we know and we travel or in germany, that say the turkish population, there is a starker divide? >> there is. it is definitely true the north africans that live in paris to live way out on the edge. it is not the beautiful city of light that we know when we go as tourists. it is start the soviet- style housing. all of these issues are so tricky because you had very real immigration. you have integration problems. you have islam is a within this party problem with immigration and this is tied into anti-eu sentiment. >> how much of this did you see when you lived in london? >> i don't think london is quite as serious as in france. we have to remember, it goes back to his po

there was another individual picked up in france in southern france. he group up in the south of france, yet he went to syria to fight. picked up carrying explosive devices. there's no doubt, there's elements of professionalism. no doubt the way the bullets impacted the windshield. if al qaeda in the arabian peninsula say they did this why would they do something on this scale? if they're in their magazine they're talking about building bombs they can sneak through security and take down western airliners. why would al qaeda ratchet it down? and so that i think, is what leading many of us to think, look, these folks may have had training and may have been to a front line and met leaders from these groups. >> this could be inspirational. >> exactly, is this something merely inspired. is there a lone wolf or someone acting in concert with what they believe the priorities of isis or al qaeda are. and again, given what we see here, the scale of this, that sounds a lot more likely. >> and we're now just getting a tape fed back from our white house colleague

they must have left france because to stay in france would only greatly enhance their chances of beingt. the fact that they potentially robbed a gas station and they were in the greater paris metro area. does that tell you about who they may or may not be associated with? >> no. not yet. we don't know if their original plan was to the expectation they'd be killed by cops. we don't know if they had access to money some place and then there were -- they saw police in that area and couldn't go there and therefore they had to conduct a robbery. the idea that they could leave the country quickly is something more out of television than reality. an event like this happens the borders are shut down very quickly. as chris dickey told you the french are very, very good at what they do police domestic security. my guess is right now they'll try to lay low and we've seen time and again that if someone does lay low it could be difficult to find them. the boston marathon bombing case people -- there was this massive search to find the surviving brother. they did. in the case of the hamas terrorist

>> it's unity today in france. the prime minister has said it and it's been said by everybody when the jewish attack, the republicans attack. it's not a problem of jewish, arabs, christians, it's the jewish society and the french are targets and it's something as a nation shows today solidarity to an open society to support freedom of speech, freedom of expression and freedom of religion. we have spoken to the jewish leaders and to the authorities the past few days and today, once again, security should be strengthened on front of jewish schools, synagogues and, of course, all places where there are gatherings of the people. but of course today, we need a tolerant society, and people should be able to, you know, recognize there is one god in this world and as well as preach openness and not tolerance and not any extremism or fascism. >> i'd like to have your feeling on the fact that netanyahu and martin huberdat was here for this march. >> as joush-fresh nationality, i am very proud that worldwide leaders are here

of france this morning.'s also been a show of unity among the country's politicians. this morning, the french president francois hollande held meetings at his elysee palace. among them the former french president nicolas sarkozy, who told journalists this was not a time for politics, not a time to talk about any elections. it was a time for all people of france to come together. yesterday, he had said we will continue to write as we have always written, we will continue to live as we have always lived. but just look at all the main developments so far with this report from emily buchanan. >> reporter: france is still reeling from the bloodshed, and today, more shooting. this is the city of montrouge just south of the capital. the emergency services flocked here after a man wearing a flak jacket opened fire with an automatic rifle. a policewoman was killed and a street cleaner was seriously injured. the interior minister rushed to the scene, but cautioned against making links to wednesday's attack on the sati

france is not france without frenchñr jews. important. >> and let's go outside of the grand synagogue of paris where this event is taking çóplace, aá,ñ our arwa damon is keeping a post ofq this. >> security has been fairly tight. we saw that especially as with we werew3Ñi trying to get here. there were also large crowds of the faithful really pac dignitaries to show up. we did see the vehicles belongÑi belonging to the israeli ambassador the france arriving. we also saw former president nicolas sarkozy to cheers as one woman screamed out "we love you." that is continuing in the ongoing fight of defiance as people are afraid to come to this area. these5a attacks are horrific but really underscoring the not only unity we saw today, but the divisions that france and thee1 entire world have to deal with. a lot of peoplef3 stage, this is very much a wakeup call and that as a global community, we should look at what is happening here in france. the unity that we have been seeing throughout the entire day, and really try to find the

in france. >> killing at least a dozen people in the news room. >> one of them stayed in the car, the other two entered the building and began firing. k. >> a series of gunshots were heard, at least 30 rounds by some estimates. >> killing editor his bodyguard and eight others. >> "charlie hebdo" has been very, very satirical in their approach to religion. >> with a long history and controversial history. >> the offices have been fire bombed several years ago because of satirical issues it featured, the muslim prophet mo ham made. >> the french president francois hollande said nobody can believe they can act like this and get away with it. >> it is 4:00 a.m. in france and an intense manhunt is under way at this hour for the terrorists who killed 12 people and injured 11 at the paris headquarters of the french satire mgz "charlie hebdo" or charlie weekly. the attackers headed east right after the attack and this is the latest video from the scene of a police operation under way in the french east

returned to france.so following one individual for 24 hours around the clock's takes 20 members of staff. it is an incredibly difficult job that these guys have to keep up on everybody. now what is intelligence agencies do is very similar to what happens in an accident in the hospital. where you have a lot of people, aa lot of people are at risk, and you need to sort of triage who needs the most attention. who needs the sort of quickest medical attention and when. to make those decisions, they rely on fragments of intelligence that are put in front of them. now, the newspapers around the areas where the brothers had left. it turns out that a neighbor had grown suspicious about the individuals, broke into the apartments, and found a cache of weapons. when he broke into the apartment, the brothers had found him, basically threatened to and told him not to tell the police. without those fragments of information, the intelligence community was acting with their hands behind her back. simply because there are

france is on its highest alert level. there are more troops and more security checks in sensitive areas. we have seen lots of police cars going in just here outside the elysee. the street has been barricaded. you cannot drive through which you can normally do. so there are exceptional measures because there are at least two joe manhunt's going on -- two manhunts going on. police are running in all directions and trying to figure out how to solve those cases. there are also trying to reassure the french public. there is a panic and authorities are very worried. they have also warned the media not to relay unchecked information or information that could tip off the perpetrators of the attack this morning and also the attacks yesterday. clearly, they are very worried the authorities here in paris and they're trying to show calm. but, clearly, there is a lot of anxiety. >> indeed, a lot of anxiety across the city this morning and this afternoon. clearly the presence of police. police alarms are going around on their vehicles.

that's right, this event is being referred to in france as france's 9/11. obviously the loss of life not as great but it does seem as though at least from commentators in counterterrorism and public officials here that things have changed in france. we're going to take a quick break. when we come back, more cnn live coverage of the aftermath of the terrorist attacks in paris, france, as well as coverage of the unity rally that will be kicking off any moment now. stay with us. (son) oh no... can you fix it, dad? yeah, i can fix that. (dad) i wanted a car that could handle anything. i fixed it! (dad) that's why i got a subaru legacy. (vo) symmetrical all-wheel drive plus 36 mpg. i gotta break more toys.

integration has been more or less if a old issue in france. -- more or less a failed issue in france. there has been wide ranging exclusion of a large part of the immigrant community. not only arabs but also black african immigrants, and this, of course breeds violence and hostility. not all these people are violent or hostile towards france, of course, but nevertheless, these poorer settlements are really a breeding ground for radical views, not only in terms of radical islam, but also in terms of right-wing extremism. it is also french people who live there, impoverished people, native wrench people so to speak. >> this attack is being called france's 9/11. is that a fair assessment? >> 9/11 is a different story in the sense that the consequences were far more far fetching, and at the same time, three thousand people were killed in the united states at that time. also it was really a major terror attack that was done on the technical competition of how to steer an airplane and crash it into a skyscraper. this is a more modest way of terrorizing people. it is homegrown terrorism. it

and in france right now? anger or fear? does one prenom dominant. >> no. it is not fear for two reasons. first, france is threatened by terrorist for several years. for example, two years ago, the building of charlie ebdou was burned by terrorist and we have lots of threats and another example in the february of france, there was an explosion. and so we don't we don't fear anything i think. and the second reason is in fact it is a great symbol in france, just like your 4 or 5 famous, die together. and so the feeling in france is first emotion. not fear. >> i know that the u.s. offered any kind of support it can to the government there in paris. alex thank you very much for sharing your thoughts from paris. >> you're welcome. >> turning to a little health news. new report from the centers for disease control has a stark warning about america's alcohol consumption. alcohol poisoning kills six people a day on average. most victims are between 35 and 64 years old and three out of four of them are men. joe shrink

france has a state and that represents a strength. it is a guarantee. france has a state. it has a state with civil servants every single day in the name of general interest and they are well aware of their missions and they are well aware of what they have to do. civil servants of all levels and we are able to see today precisely how useful they are. we are talking about police officers. we are talking about the magistrates, gendarmere. civil servants who allow our citizens to be protected when necessary, and to ensure intervention at the opportune moment. and they are a presence and france through its values through its principles but also through it's fate and through those it represents civil servants it will be able to resist all kinds of ordeals all ordeals. i have confidence in you i have confidence in my country. our country has a great capacity to unionize. of course that can always be a certain number of things that are lacking, there can certainly be some awful things that they can read about or live through however, our capacity is great when we can gather toge

france mr. president, it is a unique country that is recognized throughout the world and creating the force as the number of your strategic counsel for attracting investment. i have been stuck to the approach of combining the traditions with innovation and openness to the world. why france is having to face many different economic challenge is how may europe needs a strong confidence in order to be able to find the power to grow. growth which needs to be open to opportunities. one of the lessons of the tragedy as we can do we cast and the youngest. those who seek to spread a discourse of hatred. and the world needs a france that will continue to defend a message of freedom and peace throughout the world as it has always done. and it is in this spirit that i am welcome to see france's active role in the international negotiations on climate with a major summit due in paris at the end of this year. we are able to contribute a better answer to the extreme mass to build a better world and not to sin

how does france heal from that?moment for the muslim community of france. they came in large number yesterday. there were scenes of solidarity and embrace between jews and muslims. but now there must clearly differentiate themselves with the members of the community that did not behave as french men. it must not be only an emotional moment. it must be a defining moment. a wake-up call for them. they must adhere deeply to the values of the republic and show it every day in their behavior. of course it is for the french republic also to come and to impose law. there are terrorists in the suburbs of france which are no longer under the rule of law. this must stop. >> thank you so much for joining us. thank you for your insight and analysis. what was really a beautiful day yesterday in france after such an ugly event. we'll be right back. >>> the world united against terror. world leaders joining millions in france in an unprecedented show of solidarity. the country reeling from terror attacks that killed 17 people. as

i've been coming to france and living in france for the past 40 years, and i think that uven times, the french are not sure themselves about their own feelings about france, and it creates lots of internal issues lots of existential issues, but i think that something like today will carry on, and i think there's definitely a voice here that people will remember. and i think it's probably going to end up being more problematic for the national front. this is just a prediction, that it's going to be more problematic faced with this kind of unity, and embracing of all communities in these different marches around the country. that message is going to have -- they're going to have to figure out ways to make that message different than it is today. so on the other hand i think that after this week, the french community will come face-to-face with how to prevent terrorism, how to prevent radicalization of young muslims, how to determine whether this is even preventible. those are questions that are going to be very hard questions. >> and going back to something that was said earlier by paul i

euro/swiss franc coming back, so the swiss franc is declining the euro gaining.rying to find what i would call an equilibrium of where that should be. the swiss national bank said they abandoned the cap, by surprise. the pound in the swiss franc on the move. you're seeing the turnaround, from the momentum of gaining yesterday, actually dropping a little bit now. it rose sevenfold yesterday. the consensus seems to be that if the swiss bank steps back from defending the currency, nobody left to buy the euro could it mean the bank of japan has to come out with another force of quantitative easing. how about the a korean currency as people abandon the safety this bill in the -- the safety, the stability of the swiss franc. the bottom markets in korea are at record lows. credit agricole saying that the drop in oil prices will be a boost to economies, driving the korean won higher and the dollar lower. >> belgian authorities say they prevented a possible major attack as they carried out a terror raid. two suspected terrorists were killed in the shootout, a third arrest
