we've seen that happen in the louvre in paris as well. just a few days ago, police foiled what they called a, quote, imminent attack before the presidential election. tonight is an important night, ana, because there's a huge 11-person television event featuring all of the presidential candidates. sunday is the presidential election. the front-runner is a centrist politician but very, very close in the polls after him is marine le pen, a far-right candidate, who has spoken a lot about the terrorist threat. she's anti-immigration. she wants to close the borders. these type of events are frightening parisians and french people across the country. there were these terrible attacks at charlie hebdo. we don't know what else, ana. two police officers injured. a massive police presence. and pedestrians and ordinary visitors and tour rough ists ha told. >> some of the different candidates who are part of this election, 11 different candidates, now in terms of the lead-up to this big presidential election, have we seen there an increase in any kin

under the carousel of the louvre.u know, highly symbolic -- you don't get more symbolic if you're trying to choose. the eiffel tower, the louvre museum. the champs elysees. even if you haven't been to paris, this will pop to mind. so indicating that they chose this target deliberately, they chose this location deliberately for its symbolic reach knowing that central paris it will be on everyone's radar instantly. >> the police have been expecting this sort of an attack in the run up to the presidential elections. the three primary candidates had essentially been warned ahead of time in the attack that you mentioned had been waiting on this. >> this has been an election that has very much on the right side of the political spectrum -- very heavily focused on security issues, terrorism issues, protecting france and a lot of drtributary issues surrounding that. it's too early to get to speculation, but i'll tell you one thing, the national front has been playing on a lot of those meat and potato issues in the past few da

not so much nice, not so much charlie hebdo, but just a few weeks ago there was an attack at the louvreere a man with a machete attacked some soldiers who were guarding the louvre who were on patrol there and wound up being killed himself. then more reasonedly there was an attack at one of the paris airports where a man ran up to a woman soldier, tried to take her gun and was shot and killed. so immediately, police are looking at this and saying, is this another one of those kinds of attacks? and this is exactly the kind of thing that the authorities have been worried about. >> a much watched election. set the stakes for that election. what should went? >> i think what you have to know is that there are four candidates only separated by the margin of error in the polls. three are very pro russian and fairly anti-american. two of them are from the extremes. and either of them, or both of them corks get into the run-off election two weeks from sunday that will decide the president of france. the most famous of them is marie lepen who is the head of a very r right party that believe me, th

it would fit a pattern that we've seen of the attacks in belgium and the louvre attack that was thwarted by quick thinking police woman at the time a constable. but we're familiar or authorities in these cities are familiar with the assailant or assailants. what do you make of that? >> i don't know if it's 100%, but seems like my memory tells me that pretty much, if you look back a few years, all of these people were on the radar of one service or another. yeah, in most cases, all of those in the united states, the fbi had touched and known about in most cases had dropped the investigations. you know, that's another whole story about why things like that are dropped and why they're not passed on. you know, the circumstances of the attorney general guidelines and how those things need to change. so these are very complicated matters. but this is tough stuff. you know, here we are. i said publicly that president obama handed president trump a basket full of grenades and most of the pins were pulled. look at north korea. look at that issue and how presidents all the way back to clinton have

the original painting now hangs in the louvre museum in paris, but it got there as a gift of napoleonose forces ripped it from its original home, a church in venice. factum's experts studied, scanned, slowly recreated it, and finally put it-- the copy, that is-- into its old home. >> many people started to question about whether the experience of seeing it in its correct setting, with the correct light, in dialogue with this building that it was painted for, is actually more authentic than the experience of seeing the original in the louvre. >> reporter: lowe had another major win in his recreation of king tut's tomb, in the valley of the kings, built next to the original site. in madrid, we got a tour of some key parts of the process, which begins far away from this building, with the scanning of the actual objects in the field. that team is led by architect carlos bayod, using a laser scanner developed at factum, known as the lucida. >> we are capable now of recording the surface of a painting, for example, and obtaining data that are very close, that has very close correspondence t

we have the attack on soldiers at the louvre, in the centre of paris.at the 0rly airport. this will be, for a country in a state of emergency, a worrying development. extremely. but in a way, not very surprising, any more, to french people, who have come to be used to living with that kind of threat. as you said, france has been in a state of emergency for nearly two years, now. the french have gotten to be used to living with soldiers in the streets, with armed police patrolling train stations and the streets of their cities. just a few days go, the intelligence services said that they had uncovered a plan to attack a presidential candidate ora to attack a presidential candidate or a rally down in the southern city of marseille. so in a way, terrorism was thrown back into the presidential campaign, which is still under way. some of the candidates have said they would suspend their campaign immediately. some others have said that they would carry on with their final rallies tomorrow. there is no doubt that french voters will have this latest attack in m

we saw a soldier being attacked at the louvre, we saw a soldier attacked at the airport, these are targetedacks at people in uniform. yes, that is interesting. when you think about it, the champs elysee, you have hundreds of thousands of people there. you could have easily targeted crowds of people, just opened fire into the crowds but that man drove his car, got out of the carand man drove his car, got out of the car and decided to target police officers. so it was definitely an attack that was planned to harm the police and the security forces there, also reacted very swiftly and avoided the bloodbath on the champs elysee. and, tomas, this attack coming just days before the first round of the presidential election. we have seen condolences from the presidential candidates paid and quite a different reaction force on, france win —— le pen cancelling and others saying the show must go on. yes, marine le pen and fillon cancelling their campaign but the centrists, macron, who is ahead in the polls, and the socialist candidate, benoit hamon, said they would carry on with their plans, that the

the same happened at the louvre, when there was an attempted attack.hat there have been a lot of foiled attacks. recently, as i said, two people were arrested in marseille. because of the first and second round, it is a very sensitive period for france and attacks are being devised. imagine yesterday, the attacker had a kalashnikov, he did notaim at attacker had a kalashnikov, he did not aim at the many civilians and tourists walking down the champs elysees, but targeted the security forces. it could have been much more dramatic yesterday. you know, we have to be careful. yesterday was a terrible blow. but we‘re not talking about massive numbers of casualties, like we had in november 20 15. about massive numbers of casualties, like we had in november 2015. what about the psychological and also economic impact? well, one attack after the other means that, of course, tourism is on the decline in paris, which is one of the first capital cities visited in the world, and in france, on the other hand, like as you said in the loop attack, orfor other hand, li
