francois hollande is monitoring the situation. he's the man in charge. that's what he wants to show. he came back by foot. it is a short distance between the interior ministry and the elysee palace. but still, it's quite a bold move and he wanted the show that he is not afraid. it is one of the slogans that have appeared since the "charlie hebdo" attack. "we are not afraid." just as much as je suis charlie, i am charlie, another slow begun across france in these gatherings that have been taking place on a daily basis since the attack on wednesday. i was at the attack only a few hours after it took place and i can tell you there was a huge amount of concern. parisians spon takennkentaneously turned up at the scene to see what had happened, to express their solidarity. that was the first stage before the evening rally with these images. they went around the world, where you saw despite the freezing temperatures, thousands of people holding candles, holding pictures of the cartoonists who were killed. and with people chanting slogans, saying freedom of expr

. >> john, as you have been speaking, witnessing the french president francois hollande greeting all of the leaders in paris. we saw for instant francois hollande meeting the nato head, former norwegian president who was the head of the norwegian government at the time of the shootings back in 2011. perhaps a little bit of a deja vu for him, another painful chapter. >> just a few things. the honda francois hollande, we forgot to mention, the political archrivals behind the president of france, regarding -- she was not invited pretty --. no formal invitations were issued to the party and she was received by francois hollande last week after the event. and made it clear on friday that everybody was welcome, he even said he would guarantee the security of leaders including le pen, talking about the security. a tremendous challenge for friends -- france's police. can you imagine 50 world leaders? [indiscernible] >> it is absolutely clear a number of socialist leaders and centerleft politicians felt increasingly uncomfortable with le pen. is it true she was person non grata? what she said

the sacrifice they gave meaning to their death should not be forgotten, said francois hollande. >> theriority is keeping france safe. tomorrow marks one week since the original attacked on the "charlie hebdo." they will indeed print and have given a look at their cover. we see a depiction of the prophet mohammed. >> carrying a poster with the headline "all is forgiven." reprinting that controversial image of the profit mohammed. this will be a publication, 3 million publications strong. no doubt it will be paid a great deal of attention by the world's press once again. the muslim communities have been urging restraint calm. as you know this is a very controversial thing to do. it is simply considered -- urging restraint and france taking note chances. unprecedented levels of security on the streets in france. 10,000 soldiers will be patrolling various sites by the end of the day and early tomorrow. france's highest security level alert will be in place. >> thank you for that, melissa bell. some 10,000 soldiers are now patrolling the streets of france. they had been assigned to sites li

francois hollande has described it as a vicious anti antisemitic attack. so yes, that is one aspect in public order terms. but as i say the other aspect of it is what france says in response to groups like al qaeda, in yemen who have claimed overnight that this is what france is going to get if it carries on insulting islam. if france believes in freedom of expression it still needs to exempt islam from that. there are sections of islam that aren't prepared to have that level of criticism reported. that's the type of question that they don't appear to have proper answers to. >> that is the kind of conversation going around much of western europe now as place de la republique. thank you lawrence. >>> as expected thousands of people are expected to march throughout the streets of paris saturday and indeed on sunday. this is the scene outside that supermarket. as we just said that is where some hostages died. there's a heavy police presence, as forensic teams continue to investigate there. well, as we've been mentioning the kouachi brothers claimed connection

. >> we are down at the palace where francois hollande made this speech earlier. telling us there, a pretty brief statement calling for unity. and speaking as the government is still at large. >> nine hours after the barbaric attack and the perpetrators are still at large. many people have been asking us if we had any idea or any leads. the government is being quite private about this. there is no purpose in sharing information on potential lead that they have. tomorrow, they will change their plans. francois hollande will gather at 830 them are morning -- 8:30 a.m. tomorrow morning. the renowned resistance fighter in world war ii, these take different tones given the gravity of the situation today. and for the moment, it's really a matter of managing the investigation into the perpetrators. the prime minister looking after the reuniting of the political parties and the various groups affected. >> as we have been reporting police a that at least two people that were behind that attack are still at large. they have been described as armed and extremely dangerous. l

french president francois hollande has described it as an barbaric act. >> charlie hebdo is known forreporting on diversity with the trademark for articles and cartoons that target the political establishments, religion, the extreme right, and everything in be -- everything in between. usually protective of the rights of free speech, the left-wing magazine does not shy away from publishing stories that are likely to inflame passions. >> confusion and shock after the attack on the offices of the satirical newspaper charlie hebdo. rescuers raced to bring victims to safety. at least two police officers are among the dead. witnesses said two masked men armed with assault weapon storm the building in central paris late wednesday morning. shooting continued for minutes before the attackers escaped. president francois hollande arrived at the scene of the shooting which he called a terrorist attack. >> an extraordinarily barbaric act has just been committed in paris against a newspaper. that means an attack on freedom of expression and on journalists , who have always wanted to show they can

we know what this leads to, and this will be the responsibility of franÇois hollande or a part on theright to showcase it. and people are saying, yes i'm ready to commit to the values of france. i want to march. i believe in it. people will building at an integral level connecting with people that you may not connect with on a daily bases. maybe the jewish community or muslim community or whoever was fills the clichÉ and go on as the media is portraying. one of the past participant j mentioned how the media is responsible for making such a case about 200 women who wanted to wear the veil, it's important to know that the secular laws of france apply to every religion, and showing the just the minority. >> but there is a case there are policies in place that make the muslim community feel marginalized. yes, freedom of speech. no one is kenaiing that. that is one value of the french society. but france like many countries is against hate speech. there was a case against charlie hebdo and said this is insulting, hatred and incitement and lost the case. when you get things like that also n

crossing to jacky rowland, joining us now from paris to tell us jacky more of what we hat francois hollande is meeting. a expect him to ministers will make remarks after this meeting, because there have been a series of crisis meetings almost rolling meetings over the last 48 hours ever since the attacks at charlie hebdo. and it is quite common after those meetings various ministers do make remarks. obviously very but also the message of unity which we have heard repeated on several occasions. it is anrein complex situation, which security forces are dealing with on the ground and also which government officials are trying to manage both in political and information terms. it was difficult enough the situation faced already in dammartin, 40 kilometers to the east of paris where you had the situation of two gunmen suspected of already killing 12 people at the charlie hebdo publication who are understood to be holding one hostage. obviously security forces absolutely frantic to neutralize these suspects who have already been on the run for 48 hours, but equally anxious to protect the life of

. >> president francois hollande has been speaking in the last couple of hours. he revealed that france has been a target of terrorist plots for several months. >> translator: we knew that anything could happen at any time. as we stand here at the present time we should do everything to guarantee the protection of our citizens. >>> a very warm welcome to our special coverage of dramatic events in dammartin. a small town north of paris, where hundreds of french police and special forces have converged on an industrial estate, where the two suspects in wednesday's attack on the satirical magazine "charlie hebdo" appear to be preparing to make their last stand. >> cherif kouachi and said kouachi are believed to be holding one hostage inside the offices of a printing business. we're getting many reports from the scene that suggest police have been in contact with the two gunmen and they have expressed their readiness for martyrdom. >> now, the french president francois hollande is supervising a massive security operation from the interior ministry in paris. the inter

journalists and police were brutally assassinated. >> we just heard there from francois hollande who called this shooting a barbaric act. it has been very shocking to the rest of france too. breaking news coming out of paris, france this morning, 12 people there dead. they were killed at the offices of a controversial french magazine, charlie hebdo. among the dead, the editor and several prominent cartoonists there. police say the gunmen fled. police are trying to locate them. >> director of reporters without borders joins us by phone. your group's official reaction to today's shootings. >> so actually, it's hard to find words that i would like to say that as reporters without borders, we are all so shocked >> -- so this really has delivered a body blow to france. and it's not as though the french president hadn't spoken to -- he had alluded to the fact that france could not be complaisant complaisant. but despite the warnings what we read in the newspaper, what we heard, no one really was prepared for this kind of attack, and it was -- not only was it bloody and brutal but it was al

the french president, creswell along -- francois hollande will speak.d have another major story in the u.s. today, the economy. the jobs report, more positive signs for retail. julie hyman has the retail higher numbers for us. >> good afternoon. we saw similar trends in racial hiring we saw in hiring overall. some encouraging signs that sort of backup from the numbers we have been getting from the retailers themselves. i went back and crunch the numbers on the fourth quarter going back several years. looking at retail higher income excluding auto, retail hiring, as well as gasoline station hiring. what we get of the best numbers since 2007. in addition, during the october to december time. period, 38000 new jobs. this is all seasonally adjusted in the retail industry. the question the broader economy is how much will this job growth keep up? how many of these various employees who were hired will be retained at these retailers? we don't have any hard data on that as of yet. we have to wait for next month to see if that is confirmed. however, we do have

the world leaders let by francois hollande have gone back to the palace. >> andlnd he and thee1 israeli presidentr noigs did netanyahu did go the synagogue where there had been suspended activities at the synagogue since world war ii, and he is going back there with president netanyahu. and they were going to president to visit the families some of the slain people there of the employees of the "charlier hebdo." the fact that theyçó are trying to make a move to publish again is so significant and moving. >>q they have to. and from the very beginning the need in france and everyone has said thatt( they have to provideq and not just the attack on the press, but these people want to shut downÑi any commentary that dissends from their world view a"afrom the the soldiers in the deserts of syria by the isis militants to what happened here in charlie hebdo, they want to get together theqçóxd and show real unity and that "charlieÑi xdhebdo" is going to put out 1 million copies tuesday. >> and the french newspaper here as well. and it is true and pointed out that "charl

again, the decision to assault this factory will be made by the french president francois hollande. he debate there continues. president hollande is due to speak at 11:00 cet when we hear from him. these are live pictures coming from dammartin-en-goele. where there is indeed a hostage situation taking place. the main suspects are involved from the shooting of charlie hedbo are in this area. there are five helicopters in the area and more police presence arriving on the ground as we speak. >>> we've been keeping an eye on the charles de gaulle airport in paris. we've been learning flights have been rerouted to avoid flying over the hostage zone and they've added there is no impact at this point on air traffic. but, of course everyone keeping a watchful eye on the developments out of dammartin-en-goele. we've been told resident necessary that neighborhood, in that town have been told to stay inside as the police try to keep the manhunt going forward for those individuals involved in the shooting of charlie hedbo. >> we have a flash coming out of the french interior ministry. they said

the president, francois hollande. the last of three three, a muslim himself was shot to death by islamist gunman as he lay injured on the pavement following the attack on the offices of charlie hebdo. >> paid with his life an engagement. a french with mostly conviction was proud to represent french police. very public separatism which makes our countries that all faiths are respected, all religions are protected, all citizens there, religious or not, whether they believe or not, they should live together. always a victim. more than anybody else. islamist radicals have nothing to do with islam. radicalism kills muslim's. >> talking there a few monts ago. the funeral and ceremony continues in jerusalem as well. a short while ago, the prime minister betnetanyahu spoke. he was referring to the attacks a couple years ago now in which an islamist gunman attacked french jews there and referred to the islamic terror he called it as a threat to the peace of the world. he also said it was striking the heart of french jury in pa

that is how francois hollande has described the liberation of auschwitz. celebrations are being held to mark the celebration of the end of that day. survivors, he'd knowledge the horrors of the past while trying to reassure the jewish community of its place in the fibers of france. quicksilver places here. this is your home. you have given france your talent and labor. you have given her your courage and at times, your blood. our country would no longer be france if it were to live without you. if terrorism were to lead you away from the shores of france away from french language, away from french culture, away from the french culture that emancipated the jews, terrorism would have reached its goal. >> it was called the final solution, the not see genocide plan that result in than the murder of some 6 million european jews. one point one million people died in auschwitz between 1940 and 1945. world leaders are joining survivors to remember the day the camp was liberated. tell us about the importance of where you are right now. >> i am standing in front of

this is a danger that has been evoked publicly by politicians, including francois hollande.is a problem that has been very much to everyone's front doorstep. so what we're going to be seeing now, is i think more of the kinds of raids that we have seen in recent weeks, and as authorities start to look at the records of people returning, whether deported or otherwise, trying to track who are those people. obviously key evidence lost with the death of the hostage takers today, but there is a lot of intelligence out there, and all of the people are going to have to be scrutinized as the security forces try to head off other possible attacks like this. >> okay. that's jacky rowland in our paris bureau. we have also heard from our correspondent on the streets in the eastern part of the french capitol and from our correspondent up there to the north of paris where those two sieges have been taking place, and where those two sieges have now ended with the death of the two hostage takers. we're going to take a short breath catch our breath and make some sense out of everything we hav

late today, president obama spoke with french president francois hollande. earlier today, president obama condemned the attacks in the strongest possible terms and said that the united states would offer its full assistance to france as it continues its investigation. officials with the department of homeland security, the defense department secret service, are monitoring the situation. at this point, they are not increasing the threat level here. there is no known terror threat here against the united states at this point in time. having said that president obama said that what happened in paris is a reminder as a terrorist attack can happen anywhere. we are seeing some beefed up security in some major cities like boston and new york city. so the obama administration continues to monitor this situation quite closely. president obama left this afternoon for a three-day, three-state trip that was initially supposed to be focused on the economy, previewing his state of the union address. now, undoubtedly, this terrorist attack, will to some extent at least, ov

french president francois hollande spoke from paris.said he'll join a rally for unity on sunday in paris. those shots obviously earlier today when it was daylight outside that industrial park where the two terrorists responsible for the wednesday massacre were holed up and eventually killed. killed in a police raid the man on the right, amedy coulibaly who was police say the hostage taker at the supermarket. and also the prime suspect in the killing of french police officer yesterday, the woman in the photograph is still on the run. french police announced this morning they are looking for her. also in connection with the death shooting of that's police officer yesterday. importantly police say that all four of these individuals were working together. the two men on the left the kouachi brothers were the prime suspects in that massacre two days ago at "charlie hebdo". president obama is in knoxville at this hour. he'll make comments very soon on the paris terrorist situation as well as his remarks about his plans to make more broadly av

>> there is the francois hollande address to the nation that will come in the next hour but all the detail will come from the paris prosecutor. police themselves unlike in the united states where the police give regular updates, two or three news conferences a day. so far the french police have not done that. i think the details will come from the paris prosecutor's office. there a lot of unanswered questions. one of which is what was it that made the police in both places storm these sieges? certainly it came just before darkness fell and that was a good opportunity to attack. they had the force of numbers. certainly where i am, there were dozens if not hundreds of anti-terror police and i understand that the kosher super market was the same thing. the gunman had threatened that if police had raided the factory where the brothers were he would begin killing the hostages. if the reports are true and they seem to be at what point did the gunman begin killing the hostages and was that the reason that the police stormed that building? we don't know the sequence of events clearly enough and we

french president francois hollande saying they have foiled several attacks in recent weeks. are massive demonstrations in paris as this manhunt enters its 11th hour for the three alleged gunman, but you also have to take this with a grain of salt. there have been attacked before and there were probably people who were not too surprised there was an incident. >> ms. harman, what is america's role when one of our closest allies is subject to an attack of this magnitude? >> john kerry spoke very forcefully both in english and in french about our solidarity with france and the values it stands for. certainly freedom of expression. we are trying to find whether there are intelligence clues obviously we want to find if there are intelligence clues that would help our country, too, and to aid in the manhunt. i would add that i do not take this with a grain of salt. the killing of 12 people and wounding of 11 others is a total tragedy. but the backlash is going to mobilize tens of thousands of people all over france, and all over the u.s., and oh, by the way, in some middle eastern

the nicolas sarkozy, the conservative opponent of francois holland. marie le pen. far right groups have flourished and are doing very very well. even though this has been a unity rally, marine lepen was not specifically invited. she was told she could come if she wants. she is not here. she and her national fund colleagues are marching in other parts of france they say, but this is also a very very sensitive moment in french domestic poll ticks. in germany they have been having weekly anti-islamic demonstrations demonstrations. >> one other symbol is i think appropriate. i was discussing this with a leader of the jewish community here earlier today. two of the heroes of the supermarket attack one of the jewish men who was killed who had tried to wrestle away the gun, he is a hero. also the young muslim employee from mali who tried to rescue people and successful hid 15 of them. i want to go to hala golani at the end of the route. what are you seeing there? >> well it's an extremely dense crowd, jake and christiane. this is the end point as i was saying minutes ago,

you have the spectacle of francois hollande, while a village where he police operation was going on,aving him talk outside government offices almost directly rebutting those comets back-and-forth, so, no, there is not unity. that is probably the chief difference between america post-9/11 and rants after this and even during the attack and immediate response to it. >> as you suggested, this is a pan-european problem. european leaders coming to paris this week in. some of that will be error mobile, but is there any movement afoot to try to address these problems in a pan-european way rather than just country by country? >> no. i mean, getting europe to be on one page on, say, monetary policy or a lot of different rules is very different. having full on pan-european way on how you become european simply is not going to happen. even in germany where they may be doing a slightly better job in absorbing their immigrants, there is a roundly mocked proposal a couple of weeks ago from a southern politician down in bavaria saying everyone needs to speak german and not only in public places but

there's francois hollande. >> we'll ever much more with the al jazeera news hour. just stay with us. that. >> yes hello welcome to the news hour and our extended coverage of those marchs in france. i'm here in doha. coming up over the next 60 minutes, hundreds of thousands of people are on the streets of france to show that they are united despite three days of terror. >> dozens of world leaders are also there showing support from europe to africa, the middle east and the americas. >> a simple message the pen is mighteer than the sword. the crowd honoring the

president francois hollande of france says his country must be united during this time. >> i want toall to be vigilant, to remain united and mobilized. vigilance is something the state must demonstrate. >> president obama reiterated that the united

we heard french president francois hollande saying it was an anti-semetic attack.s kosher shop wasn't just used by the jewish community here but also by the muslim community. so in many ways many people telling me it's an attack on all pa reeshians. i was here last year when we saw a rise of anti-semetic attacks against the french community. we saw shops being burned looted. i spoke to the head of the jewish community at the time and he said the beginning of 2014 he had seen a 40% rise in attacks against the jewish community. worst bearing in mind that was the time that we were seeing a lot of activity in gaza as a lot of problems in the middle east as well. so that could be related. we know now that he was specifically targeting the jewish community, but we also know errol, getting a picture of what happened inside the store. i'm going to move out of the way. i'm going to let adrian give you a shot of the super cache. everything is barry kidded. there were ten police vans there two or so hours ago. we have been hearing from witnesses. one of the witnesses told our
