by that i mean paris proper the inside bit of paris, not the outskirts.is is surrounded by a ring road and there are various points into paris under the ring road, and those are being manned by armed officers now. it remains to be seen whether this is a false alarm. it may be that the men are not heading into paris, but clearly, it's been taken sufficiently seriously by police that they've mounted this extraordinary deployment at the various access points and that is where we are now. a great state of tension inside paris, because of these two men on the run, but also of course because of a third man on the run from the killing of the officer earlier this morning. >> yeah, hugh, just give us an idea today talking to the other parisians about how they're feeling. one of the other eyewitnesss at this petrol station said also that these men had a rocket launcher not just arms. it must be terrifying for some people thinking that they are coming back into paris possibly to launch another attack. >> yes. i mean, the rocket launcher -- i think we need to be sort

this occurred in paris. we do know that 12 people have been killed in that attack and at least 10 have been injured. we also know the attack was carried out by two attackers. jacki, earlier on, you said that these attackers managed to escape in a stolen vehicle. >> yes. this is what makes the situation all the more extraordinary and all the more alarming, the fact that the attackers were able to escape from the scene. basically they highjacked a car and were able to get out of here. they were able to get out of paris. the car was abandoned in the east of paris so the attackers could be anywhere now. they could be on the outskirts of paris or anywhere in france. they are at the moment, the number one priority for the french president and his security cabinet who will be convening a meeting within the next few minutes, will be to track down those perpetrators, because clearly we're talking about two armed men -- >> i'm del walters in new york city along with erica pitzi. 7:57 east coast time. 12 people dead at

it is nightfall there in paris. but still many people have descended on this city really sending a very symbolic message of solidarity. people of all walks, jews as well as muslims, people of all walks there in paris. give me an idea of the sense or the real feeling there, especially as this service is continuing to get under way at the grand synagogue there in paris. >> reporter: just past 8:00 p.m. here in paris. plus the crowds may have thinned but the sound level has not gone down. quite the contrary. i have very excited people behind me happy to be here after what was a historic day. we're hearing by some accounts this may have been the largest demonstration in the history of france. those are numbers we have to check to get a definitive final confirmed figure. here is the latest for the viewers around the states and around the world. we welcome everyone. as you mentioned, fred the president of francois hollande and the prime minister of israel benjamin netanyahu are visiting the grand synagogue in paris. we're

to paris.he bottom line, shepard is that these individuals have deepen ties to what -- deep ties to what i would describe as al-qaeda proper, al-qaeda in yemen, hamza who was the point person for al-qaeda in britain if that report is correct but we know independently that same brother had ties to al-qaeda in iraq. not isis, but al-qaeda in iraq under abu knew samal zarqawi. shepard: this appeared to be a well-planned and coordinated attack, and today when this began two hours before the market would have closed for observance of a jewish holiday the timing is impeccable and somewhat frightening. >> reporter: the massacre itself at the magazine spoke to preparation, advance reconnaissance and familiarity with the weapons. that's sort of been well discussed in the last 48 hours. but what we've seen now unfold in paris since then is that it was not just a small cell the two individuals, the brothers but there were also others. remember, we have had nearly a dozen arrests in paris and we haven't ha

it's 8:25 in london 9:25 in paris. and taking to twitter to express their shock and horror over what has happened. they're also showing their solidarity as rosy was saying, the hash tag which has become a rallying call which is je suis charlie. also we are charlie. this is live as we're seeing it right now. 750 tweets or so per minute. look how intense it is in europe and indeed in north america. you're starting to see as people wake up the conversation is increasing now. one of the most tweeted and liked pictures on instagram is this heartbreaking one here. this was posted by elsa wolinski. she is the daughter of wolinski who was killed on wednesday. the photo shows an empty desk where he used to draw and reads, dad is gone but not. paying tribute to those who have died in the last 24 hours. famous cartoonists around the world, really taking to the drawing board as a tribute to their colleagues. they have put pen to paper. this one from -- >> we're going to have to interrupt you and go to france's prime minister right

itself in the eastern edge of paris. we were delayed as we were coming down the street. someone said there were guns and we were surrounded by police officers with guns pointed across yelling. it turned out to be a false alarm at a bank. we talked to people on the street. they are at the breaking point. their nerves are frayed. the streets, there are people on the streets in this area of eastern paris. but traffic getting close to the scene of all this. we are working our way there and trying to get a better picture of what's happening on this end. >> lester stand by. i know you are making your way to the scene. you can imagine how the people of paris feel today. their city under siege for much of the day. many people being told to shelter in place near the factory where the brothers were there were reports that schools were being evacuated, in some cases students were being read nursery rhymes to calm them. that's the scene at the grocery store on the eastern edge of paris where a gunman walked in, is holding host anlag

the district of paris. mr. mayor, thank you for being with us. >> thank you. >> what was your message with secretary of state john kerry? >> it was thank you. it is important for us to feel supported. in this time people have been assaulted and some have been murdered. it is very important to have this support from the united states of america. we gathered people of the neighborhood living here on the streets a few days ago. they need to feel home again. for that they have to go beyond this awful attack. that's why the presence of john kerry has been very important to us. >> it is such an important location. we see people come here every day with flowers. we see people come here still crying. so much emotion, mr. mayor. let me ask you this, as you move forward, do you feel safe in this city? >> right now, yes, because police and the army has been summoned. everywhere in the streets are policemen. we feel quite safe now. we know the threat is still very high and we don't know how long we will be able to withstan

my colleague hala gorani is in paris. while this was a day of unity, now, i mean there are hardly any people behind you whereas we saw earlier in the millions or at least in the thousands. it's believed it could have been as many as a million if not more in paris alone and people coming out in great solidarity speaking in a unified voice that they want to get to the bottom of terrorism. they want to make sure that the freedoms in france are protected and that there will be a more concerted effort to reach out to those french who have proven to be very vulnerable who have maid the commitment to join these extremist groups. is there a renewed sense of hope that that france will feel like it can better communicate, better work with its resources of intelligence and law enforcement to get to the bottom of what is a very big problem right now? >> well i think there is hope. i don't know if it's a better sense of hope but there is the hope out there that perhaps these horrific attacks, the one on the a tier y'all magazine, the

paris is not far from the crime scene. all of the french media attention is focused on the small business where there seems to be in the words of the media an intense shooting going on and a hostage taking involving two individuals. >> there are a few aerial photos and it looks like it is seven or eight small businesses northeast of paris. it doesn't sound like much of a distance too americans. you probably think it is quite suburban. but it gets rural quite fast here in france. it is a small town nearby. it is a small industrial park. i am looking at a live picture now and i am seeing two helicopters poised in the air over this location. one is very low from my time in helicopters, quite low. maybe about a hundred feet and another is 200 feet. it is anti-riot anti-terror and police units which are involved. i am working off of the information that is being put out. again the word from the interior minister says that an operation is underway. the gign one of the anti-terror forces here is in play and an operation continues

it's separated from paris. what we understand is that the two suspects came down the motor way, south towards paris, when the chase ensued. they turned off the motor way and holed up in this industrial park. >> okay laurence lee, we'll leave it there and cross to you a little later. reminding you that police are holding a press conference in the next couple of minutes we understand. we'll bring it to you as soon as we get it here. what you are looking at is the live stream at dammartin-en-goele. that town laurence lee was telling us is pretty much under lock down as police continue to search for the suspects of the "charlie hebdo" killings two days ago. we understand that they are in an industrial park. french media reports, i should say, that one hostage has been taken. that is the scene right now. it's a town on the northern outskirts of paris. police surrounding a building where the two men suspected of being behind the killing at the magga scene in paris are hiding -- magazine in paris are hiding. it has be

live for us in paris.is worth mentioning at this point that in the area of porte de vincennes where the second siege if you would like to call it that is unfolding. two schools there have been locked down. we don't know whether the people got out. it seems to be locked down and they haven't done so far. let me run through the events taking place in france at the moment in case you are just joining us. french security forces have closed in on the two suspects believed to have attacked the charlie hebdo office on wednesday. these are the pictures from dammartin. that's pretty close to the airport north of the french capitol. as we understand it the two men who are believed to be brothers are holding at least one person hostage in what is said to be a print factory in an industrial part of a pretty small french town there, about 30 kilometers north of paris. come south, go east back to paris, porte de vincennes in the east of the capitol, an armed man has taken several hostages inside of a jewish kosher super

hugh edwards is in paris. he joins us now. the public prosecutor has been speaking in paris. what more have we learned about the relationship between the taking of the supermarket and what happens -- happened in the small town? >> there are lots of new elements. the public prosecutor is -- bear with me while i take you through some elements. he confirms explosives were found at both sites. that is at the supermarket and northeast of paris. and firming too that the girlfriend, the 26-year-old woman, is still on the run. the search is still ongoing. i have not found her. also telling us that because of the big overlap between these investigations, the investigations will be combined into one bigger investigation. they do shed on what is going on. this morning at the print works we were telling you about earlier -- we are told that these brothers took the company manager hostage. that was around 9:00 this morning. that manager was freed at around 10:30 this morning. we have been referring to the second employee as a hostage all day. in effect, that is what the person was. but in

let's go to lyse doucet in paris. >> reporter: and you join us here in paris, in the heart of paris ony cold and rainy day here in the french capital on what's being described as one of the darkest moments in this country's history. and yet, french people are coming out to show their sadness and solidarity. a look here on the stones here in front of the monument. the pens that people held in the air last night to show that this was not just an attack on the french satirical magazine "charlie hebdo." this was an attack on freedom of expression. people fighting back with their hands, with one of the slogans raised on placards right across the country. people have left them here the candles, the wax has melted. but the determination of people here has not gone away. their response to this unprecedented attack on a french media office on journalism on france itself. it's been seen as an attack not just that killed sadly 12 people, and those people were remembered in a minute of silence a short time ago. not just a minute of silence. we saw it here. people also erupted in a minute of sponta

there are 250 synagogues in paris. over 200 jewish schools in paris. i'm not sure the french can protect them. and if the french jews feel they're unsafe i think you know, them coming to israel would, for them maybe be the best option. i hope very much the french government can make them feel safe and convince them that france is their home but it will have to act much more -- much more dramatically, more -- in a more decisive way to make them feel that way. by the way, i think that the same may be true, unfortunately in other places in europe. >> yeah certainly the threat goes beyond one city. ambassador, thank you for your time. thank you for weighing in today. >> well, thank you. >> you're looking live again in paris where there's been a ceremony at the grand synagogue involving numerous leaders across the board, across the religious spectrum as well and national spectrum nationalities and backgrounds of all kinds, standing in solidarity to honor the 17 victims who were killed this week in the paris terrorist attacks. we'll continue to keep an eye o

chaos in the streets of paris. and in a village to the north of paris where the two kouachi brothers. cherif and said were pursued by police 7:00 this morning, maybe a little earlier, 7:00 in the morn i'm talking about now, and middle of the day in the paris. two suspects in the attack on the "charlie hebdo" newspaper were pursued into a printing plant not far from charles de gaulle airport. because of the criminal threat there they closed down the airport for a time. they were, the two suspects were chased into a printing plant where they took at least one woman hostage and a standoff ensued. then not long after that, somewhere around 7:30 this morning east coast time would have been about 1:30 in the afternoon paris time, two suspects identified as amedy coulibaly and hayat boumeddiene, took hostages in a kosher deli in paris. five women and children, we believe, they went in shooting apparently. there were reports after at least two people hurt. let's listen in now to the sky news coverage what is going on there

they seized up to five hostages we understand at a kosher supermarket in the east of paris paris, and they -- so that is the situation that is going on now in the east of paris at the same time. simon mcgregor-wood has the latest on the situation across france. >> reporter: the latest incident is taking place at a kosher food store in the east of paris, reports say a single gunmen has taken at least one hostage. french television showed armed french police rushing to the scene. there are reports of injuries. it is also reported this gunman may be known to the two suspects in the charlie hebdo shootings, sheriff and said kouachi. earlier they were cornered in a printing company north of paris. french security forces reported shots had been fired earlier, as the two brothers stole a car early in the morning. police and military helicopters maintained a permanent aerial presence above the site. local residents were told to stay in doors, nearby schools were locked down. two airports were also shut down as a -- precaution. the president spoke to the nation. >> translator: at this point we

catherine, what are people saying in paris? worried that this is going to happen again or is this a -- are are they satisfied that this is a one-time deal despite the sleuth horror of what happened? >> you know, i don't even think authorities have got that far yet. at least not the ones i have been talking to. it's just complete shock. shock that once again paris has been the center of the terrorist attack. let's not forget in the 80's and 90's there were terrorist attacks in paris. the fact that this has happened again it's happened right in the heart of paris. it happened against a newspaper a newspaper that wasn't really big a very small circulation about 20,000. the fact that people went to the heart of their community, freedom. this is always what built on. this was the first big editorial meeting of the year at this newspaper. all of their famous cartoonists were there. everyone was there. there was all the getting together. set the tone and set the pace for how this weekly magazine was going to go for the rest of the yea

a student and paris. thank you for being with me from paris.oining me is nbc chief foreign correspondent richard engel. >> this seems like the kind of attacks that militant groups have been carrying out with some success for the last 50 years. and we saw a similar attack from militant militants, small group commando-style operations that are planned ahead of time clearly. the militants going in preparing for the very likely possibility that they will die. going in with extra ammunition. you see they're carrying the ak-47s but vests in which you can carry more magazines. reports we've been hearing are about 30 to 50 shots fired. which would indicate if they were firing with standard magazine, they would have had to stop at one stage, reload and continue firing. so a very cold-blooded kind of attack. and the same kind of operations that isis and other groups have been calling for. they've been telling their supporters not to come to syria and iraq. to stay in their own countries, to stay to tell no one, and carry out these attacks like we saw. >>

in paris. the two hostage situations in france are over ending in a violent finish with multiple dead at this on it. unclear the actual number. the two kouachi brothers who police say are the terrorists who killed 12 people at the magazine charlie hebdo. both gentlemen are dead according to reports. they came out guns blazing at a location northeast of paris and shot dead. they were holding one

this one inside paris. the suspect in the grocery store shooting, and this is the scene we're looking at right here close-up shots, could be the individual who fatally shot a policewoman yesterday. that would be in the hours after the massacre that we started covering live on this show about 55 hours ago. the suspected gunman at this kosher supermarket is believed to be holding hostages and believed to be a close friend of the kouachi brothers who are also holed up in a printing factory and a town outside of paris about 25 miles northeast of paris, danmartin-en-goele. they are heavily surrounded by air and on the ground. they are holding potentially seven hostages. we have two hostage situations unfolding. one inside paris where the massacre happened and one 25 miles northeast of paris near charles de gaulle airport. >> with us is congressman peter king. he's a member of the house homeland security committee. peter, obviously this has been an ongoing concern, not only across the west and europe but also acr

embassy in paris.nvolved seven al qaeda -- seven cells of al qaeda in seven countries in europe plus a cell in dubai and that plot was thwarted the week of 9/11. it didn't get any publicity here when those guys were arrested because we were covering 9/11 which did happen. that cooperation. france i would like to say, was the first country in europe to provide the fbi with passenger lists of inbound flights before any other country did it. they have been cooperative with the u.s. government and in particular with the fbi, the fbi's office in paris, for more than a decade. >> very close collaboration. nick i know that the video we've seen of what happened at the magazine yesterday is so compelling but i'm also told there's a whole lot of other closed circuit tv video authorities are going through right now trying to find some more clues. you're there in europe. paris, like london like other major cities in europe they are totally wired, aren't they with video cameras? >> yeah. one of the issues, though w

we talked about the northern part of paris, 50, 60 miles away from paris. but if these people can kill again, definitely they will try to kill again. with a profile linked to al qaeda in yemen and iraq. this is our problem. we have 1,232 men like these two supposedly having been or still being jihadists. it's the list that's been given by the secretary of interior saying that we know them we know where they are, and they come and go between syria and france. so we are in a new type of war, by people worry about. i have heard so many people telling it's a new world. every day somebody can get shot somewhere. it's very scary. >> i think one of the things we're seeing here is how dangerous authorities think this situation is. those troops up there searching in the woods are very heavily armed. it is the s.w.a.t. team expanded to many other military and police they're completely prepared for a confrontation. you can envision that the two guys get desperate that they would take hostages for example. they've already held up a gas station. they're not very well or

in that attack in paris. go ahead, sir. >> our first fear at the moment is that they tried to commit murder, their attack. because these are people with we do not want to run free. the mentality of the shooter, the terrorists, is to shoot until they get killed. so the first fear is another -- other acts that can be committed. >> yes, that is certainly a fear indeed. deputy mayor of paris patrick klug man klugman, we thank you very much. we should also point out that we have received word that here in new york city that the nypd is adding extra officers at sensitive sites around new york city however they went on to reiterate that there is no known threat but they did want to let people know if that is happening here. >> that happened in sydney where there was the siege in the chocolate cafe. they're doing it here in new york. perfectly understandable. >> let's turn to christiane amanpour from london. so many of us struggling to understand what went on christiane here. i know that you have had a chance to spea

that's been the story in paris. that's been the story of many of these young men who have gone to fight for the islamic state. so that pattern is definitely beginning to build up and to some extent that was the story of the alleged bombers in boston. it's really now a very clear pattern and quite striking. >> it absolutely is and it's become quite deadly in this instance. as we look at live pictures and viewers are tuning in i want to let you know this is coming to us about 40 miles northeast of paris. the video is coming in to us hot so as it comes in we'll try to describe what we're hearing and seeing and being told by authorities but little information is coming in at the moment. we were looking moments ago before we had this shot inside the vehicle, we don't know which vehicle this is at the moment but there were shots overhead of what looks to be like a wooded area but there were some buildings around it and there were two helicopters above. we're being told that people in the area have been advised to stay ind

paris is on high terrorism alert .r more people are said to be in critical condition and an additional 20 people injured in the attack. the attacks come in week when the satire submission was put out. essentially, it was a political parody. it was not totally unforeseen. anyway, there are suspects, who the police are in hot pursuit of. two hooded people entered the offices of the magazine, shooting at random and shouting "god is great. several journalists fled to the roof of these suspects are on the roof in paris and we expect a press conference in just a few minutes from now. >> olivia, thank you so much with the update, the facts on the paris shooting. still with us on this story, the bloomberg view columnist joining as well. in washington, crisis communications also staying with us throughout. also joining us on the phone is the associated professor of political science at boston college who specializes in europe it -- european politics. professor, let me just throw it to you first, whether this, as we're working o

paris subway. he is connected to the cell that killed the 12 people at "charlie hebdo." it looks like these gangs or these terrorist groups are sort of interconnected. they morph into one another. the first one was aqap, connected to al-awlaki's group. this o-e seems to be gia. the fact is we've seen in the last few years how the islamic terrorist groups have sort of migrated from southern france, from march say from -- marseille, where they killed several people there to paris now. the only question whether there is a larger cell involved and larger associates who are prepared to take other types of terrorist attacks of the french police have been caught off-guard by this because they have not kept up with intelligence or have been able to secure intelligence on this group ever since they were released from prison, at least the first cell a few years ago. so is a very fluid situation. it appears now that the french police are ready to storm the paris supermarket. can't confirm that. but with two o

in paris these values are particularly important because paris is the city where many of these values were designed developed, and it is where the declaration of the rights of man was published. many members of the jewish community settled in paris in the 18th century because they were fleeing from progress -- pogroms in other parts of europe. paris was recognized as the city where the jewish community could hold its meetings and house its institutions so this city has a special history with the values of republic. we are not the only guarantor's of these values, but we want to defend them. in the city hall of paris, the secretary of state, the city hall of paris has witnessed many great historic events. the commune of paris industry city hall, dramatic events. revolutionaries also were fighting for secularism and equality between men and women and equality among all our fellow citizens. i wanted to remind you all of this because this is what unites us. this is what brings us together, even though we may each have different views. the beauty of democracy is to accept controversy. this

here in paris. there is defiance this morning by the surviving members of "charlie hebdo," and there are new threats of violence and response. the new issue of that magazine hits the streets in paris this morning. we have seen some people walking with it. we've seen more people waiting unable to get their hands on one because there's so much interest. the cartoon of the prophet muhammad is on the cover. and of course that picture is considered to be offensive by many muslims. some jihadist websites are already calling for more attacks in response to this. police this morning are still seeking suspects that they believe are connected to the attacks here last week the one behind me at "charlie hebdo" and also at the kosher supermarket. we learn yesterday that one man had been arrested in bulgara on the border with turkey. he was picked up on january 1st. he was arrested now, believed to have some kind of connection to a terror group. and there are reports that he had contacts with at least one of the

>> i'm watching the situation in paris because my family lives just outside paris.so i have personal interests. clearly, it's a shock to the nation, but from an investment point of view, i have to be honest, it doesn't have a great impact. >> because, of course, the market never likes uncertainty. given this is a developing situation, there is a lot of high uncertainty about who is behind this attack and if there are broader implications. >> i think that's right. but i think what this shows is a rise in this it's that we have been seeing over the past few years, think about the uk spain, the train bomb attacks, this is something unfortunately that we have been seeing recurring every year two years, somewhere in the world. >> are you surprised that markets haven't been reacting negatively to the events unfolding out of paris? >> not really. because, again, what is -- you know, the real economic impact is very difficult to judge and probably in the grand scheme of things will not be that great. >> let's bring just a little update of the situation that we've got at the

violence in paris only deepens fears. dianne feinstein flatly stated that she believes cells are in europe and the united states way to be activated. michael mccaul was on the sunday talk shows. he said i -- this is what he had to say. >> this is a different style of attack. you had people who went to yemen to train in the art of warfare and brent -- brought that back home in france. that could happen here in the united states. we can have thousands of these travelers. they become foreign fighters and pose a threat and risk of returning to where they came from and do the same thing we saw in paris. we hear about the homegrown of violence. we were lied about that in rat a lot -- radicalizing people over the internet. we don't have a good handle on who is on the ground in syria and iraq and it yemen. we should put them on no-fly list so they can't get in the country. they were on a no-fly list and still traveled to yemen and back. we had the female terrorist leave and go to syria and she is on a no-fly list. i think europe

in paris. i'm not sure that chris dickey is hearing us right now from paris. pete williams in our newsroom in washington while we reestablish our connection with paris. pete what does homeland security know? what is the fbi doing at this moment? >> well, most of the u.s. authorities are in touch with their counterparts in paris and in france. but they don't know much more than than is being publicly reported, quite candidly andrea. in terms of what happened and who is responsible. that is a big question. the reports from the scene indicated that several witnesses said they heard the attackers say they were from al qaeda and that they were in essence attacking because of the newspaper's references to the prophet mohammed. but in terms of whether this was isis inspired home grown, al qaeda directed whatever. there's no clear answer on that. and u.s. officials say it's going to be a while before they sort that out. remember, that these apparently three people responsible for this attack are still

i think they called paris the capitol of the world. 40 world leaders arm in arm marching through paris>> that's right. we did see many leaders out today in that show of solidarity. it was incredibly important for the community here between, those who have been affected to see leaders coming together and i guess, in one since kind of recognize that this is not problem limited to france. there is a feeling that the issue of islamic extremism is an issue that affects the entire european union and what we saw today was senior dignitaries from across the european continent coming together and to other parts of the world, of course to show defiance if you like. i mean outside of the gatherings that we saw that the large rally that we saw, there was also, it's worth mentioning a meeting of interior minteristers who met earlier in the day in paris with the french interior minister to discuss the issues of border patrol and how to secure borders and make sure that the threat of extremism is reduced by ensuring that the borders are safely patrolled. there is a feeling here that the way in which

compare it to the situation in paris right now. >> reporter: there is a sense of shock here in paris. this is not gaza. this is not afghanistan. this is not the kind of thing where you have heavily armed gumin' with ak-47s dressed in black going into the streets, entering into that newspaper and gunning down the staff and moving on and taking hostages and having his associate go in and taking over a kosher market. that is not the kind of thing that has been happening here in paris. there's a lot of anger, there are some questions about how this could have happened. and there is grief. tomorrow a vigil is supposed to be held a march that is going to go through right in this square where i am right now. there have been people coming here and laying flowers. the city is also on edge after this traumatic event. today there were two false alarms. there was one report earlier in the day that there was a gunman who was spotted near a metro station and then there was another report of a possible attack on a synagogue. luckily both turned out to be false alarms. but there was a lot of tension.

what happened in paris. >> yes. i mean this has been going on, as you know -- they have several ways as you know for your own viewers, it started with the end of the afghanistan war. the first way the afghan generation culminated in the attacks on the united states in 2001. this was the first way. then the second wave, the iraqi invasion the post 2003 wave after the united states went in to iraq and destroyed the government and helped establish a new government. again, a new generation of young muslims went to iraq to fight the united states. now what we have is the syrian generation as a result of the syrian war. you have between 2500 and 3,000 young muslim men from the heart of europe, including the united states as you know. so these men, who basically have a conflict of identity disadvantaged, they live on the fringe of european and western societies, what these militant groups like al qaeda or isis give them a bigger purpose in life. important identity. and we are seeing that where he himself -- he said he swor

that's rory in the east of paris. because a short while ago this happened at a jewish supermarket, where hostages were being held. french security forces going in and we understand according to unnamed official sources but quoted as saying that the hostage taker in there as they put it "neutralized," and the hostages themselves able to get out. this has ban security nightmare for french authorities in many ways. as we go to jacki roland, a nightmare in terms of having to deal with it, but if the suspects have been killed and if there have been very few since wednesday, fatality it is, if any, as a result of all that we've seen, they would be thinking that it had gone pretty well so far relatively well. >> so far i think being the key words there yes. i mean, in terms of the casualties associated with the ending of these two different sees as we've been saying, reports now sourced to unnamed interior ministry officials saying yes the kouachi brothers dead, also a french media reports that the hostage taker at the super

the police could not let the situation to the outside of paris go down and let the situation in paris continue for fear that all of the hostages would have been killed. >> dana? >> greg, i wonder since you're there in paris, if you can tell us about the mood there are there additional warnings for the citizens? are they scared or defiant? unified? i was wondering if you could give us a taste of that. >> it's a combination of things, dana, i have lived in paris for several years and they can be quite reserved they do not show their emotions too much, but i have been speaking with parisian parisians for two days and they have been shocked, they were emotional, they were eyeing frankly in all my years here i have never seen such an outpouring of emotion from them. they're a pretty steely group too, they don't show their nerves but they have to have shown it today, when their city basically showed that it was under siege like al qaeda was attacking one of the major metropolises of the world. and visually, as we stand here there are uniform eded military soldiers marching back and forth wi
