secretary of state john kerry has just come to this location. he is now leaving. we'll talk about that in a bit. a raid in the city of verviers. belgium officials say that was one of several raids. in this raid foiled a major attack. authorities will not say, they do not confirm any link with the raids in belgium and what happened here last week the attacks in paris. the paris attacks did lead to information that perhaps sped up the timing of the anti-terror operation in belgium. i want to get the latest from belgium. journalist chris burnes joins us. chris, what's the latest. >> reporter: john you can see over my shoulder how officials have been reacting to this. they accepted up security measures here. here is a newspaper that says the jihadists were targeting the police. that is what the police said. they moved in on those men in verviers. they were because of the police wire taps planning to attack police. a newspaper here saying quoting judicial officials that there were terrorists planning to kidnap somebody here and behead them. we hope to get more details

secretary of state john kerry has arrived in nigeria for talks about the presidential elections set to take place in three weeks. his visit comes as the army is battling boko haram fighters in two towns in the northeast of the country. let's talk now live from the capitol of nigeria first the latest attack by boko haram what can you tell us? >> in the last five minutes we've spoken to an eyewitness on the ground, a member of the civilian joint task force ordinary nigerians helping the military fight boko haram. what our source is saying is that 20 soldiers have been killed within the last one hour. he said he lives near one of the barracks and has seen the firefight take place hips. earlier, the same individual has told us that civilians have been killed in the crossfire that he had counted at least 10 bodies, including children, and that three to 400 boko haram militants, suspected boko haram militants had basically stormed the area. it's very difficult to independently verify what our source is saying, but it does corroborate in a way or stack touch what the military are kind of sayi

john kerry has made it clear that they regret their decision not to send -- but at least john kerry, there was a sense that a top official was missing here. clearly trying to make up for something there. because he is a french speaking man, he has had kind words. he will be back and will be wanting to give a hug to the city as it needs it. they are burying one of the cartoonists who was killed a week ago. he was a cartoonist to have been killed. we have been hearing from francois hollande speaking at the arab institute, making the case that france was not beaten by what has happened, but rather it was in this series of events that it would week strength. >> these tragedies and these ordeals can have two consequences for the people. they can lay them low humiliate, subdue them, or awaken them and that list them to shout their message louder. >> this message has been along the lines of what francois hollande has said. if western civilization, french society was an empty shell that people could project what they like, this killing, the tragedy that kicked off the events a week ago will

all of this happening as secretary of state john kerry is visiting paris. meeting with the french president and foreign minister and discussing the fight against extremism. the secretary was behind me here shortly ago for a memorial at "charlie hebdo." the secretary of state came here and laid a wreath with the french foreign minister moments ago. this all happening as we understand there were 12 new arrests or detentions overnight of people in france believed to be connected to the attacks here in the city one week ago. i'm joined by terror expert fabrice magnier. 12 people believed to be tied to amedy coulibaly. does that number believe to be a terror cell to you? >> sure. a terror cell includes people prepare the action people who do the action and people who support the action. and people who permit the escape of the attackers. a number of 10 or 12 people. it could be a good number you know sufficient number to provide such an attack in paris. >> we are learning at the same time a western intelligence source tells cnn as many as 20 sleeper cells across

what is john kerry seek to go do on this trip?rter: as you acknowledge the white house has acknowledged a diplomatic shortcut having only the u.s. ambassador to attends the rally when other countries sent presidents, prime ministers or rings john kerry said he won't be making apologies but showing on scare at this. we have heard from the u.s. em embassy that an additional stop has been add today his visit. he will go to the scene of the shooting outside the kosher supermarket in the east of paris in addition to his other engagements. >> and jackie, what do we know about new security measures in france in the wake of the attackses? >> reporter: the first thing i should tell that you that there have also been more arrests here in paris. we have heard about the shootout and the arrests arrests in belgium and breaking news as well about being people detained in berlin. french police detained approximately 10 to 12. we don't have an exact figure of suspects during the night in and around the paris area, people who are now being questio

we're expecting to hear from secretary of state john kerry at any moment.he polish prrmt. we're expecting reaction on the attack in paris. you will see that here live. joining me from new york msnbc analyst, jack cay jacobs. good to see you. what do you see when you see all of these different images we've been showing throughout the morning of the three masked and well armed gunmen carry out a methodical and horrible crime >>well the first thing that occurs to me is very well organized and the fact they went into the building apparently went either directly or very nearly directly to where a meeting was held. they had to have known a meeting was being held and the people they wanted to murder were in that meeting. one comes to the conclusion it was an inside job. they had inside help certainly. and certainly inside information. otherwise this wouldn't have unfolded the way it did. it was efficient in that regard. the second thing that comes immediately to mind is the very nature of the terrorist threat to france and actually to the rest of europe. don't for

we expect secretary of state john kerry possibly to have some comments on this. he is meeting with the polish foreign minister shortly, and the two will make giant statement. it's likely that mr. kerry will address this issue. i should point out in his statement, president obama noted that we are in touch with french officials and i have directed by administration to provide any assistance needed to help bring these terrorists to justice. >> we know the terror alert in paris has been raised to its highest level. there is still a great deal that we don't know about the circumstances around this attack but can you tell us about protocol procedure that might be undertaken by the pentagon, the white house in a situation where you have terror alert in a european capitol being raised to its highest level? >> in fact right there in paris, the american embassy, the u.s. embassy in paris is operating with business as usual type of status today. continuing to allow people to go in and out on official business. so there hasn't been any marked change there. there's no lockdow

so words matter so as long as the president and john kerry and other people are dishonest and evasive about the source of the threat we will continue to lose great men like we did in paris today. >> mark styne thank you for being here. >> the president said you shouldn't condim other religions and so on. again tonight's breaking news in the paris manhunt. plus we have a kelly file exclusive, next, senate majority leader mitch mcconnell on the threat for radical islam, then, see what the administration is saying about the attack in paris after questioning this magazine's decision back in 2012. # >> we don't question the right of something like this to be published we just question the judgment behind the decision to publish it. no chest-beating monologues about engine size, horsepower, or performance. no anthemic soundtracks to stir the soul. just a ram heavy duty that can carry more weight than any other heavy-duty truck. get more facts at ramtrucks.com female vo: i actually have a whole lot of unused vacation days, but where am i gonna go? i just don't have the money to travel right

and john kerry said the u.s.ost a friend and many are losing a revered leader. >> but should we agree with that. some say he was a tyrant king. it is not often that an unelected leader that beheads people for sorcery wins such glowing praise from american officials. and a twitter about the british reaction to his death. has the world gone mad? the flag at half mast because of the death of this leader. >>> and deflate gate on your mind. with several topics including yesterday's giggle-worthy response from tom brady. >> you go through that process of breaking the balls and getting comfortable with them. i choose the balls that i want. i like them the way i like them. everybody has a presence. some guys like them round and some guys like them thin. and some guys like them tacky or some like them brand new. some like old bees. >> did you tee-hee about that? i did. and here it is, tom brady reminds us we are still in middle school. really? >>> and now to the miss universe costume contest. in addition to miss usa behin
