. >> we have breaking news right now out of reuters. is samsung making a play for blackberry?k at blackberry stock, jumping nearly 20%. the flashes are coming through that reuters says exclusively that executives from the two companies met last week to discuss an offer. here's the proposed initial price range. $13.35 to $15.4 per blackberry share. it's trading right now, again up 20%, but well below that at $11.62. numbers are spinning on the screen at the moment. we need to get to nicole petallides. we're also bringing in traders on the story. nicole, i imagine it's chaotic on the floor, but say executives from two companies met last week, which would have coincided with the consumer electronics show where both samsung and blackberry were on our air. of course, they didn't mention a word about this, if it's true. >> who knows where they collaborated on this. as we noted, this is dating back to last week, hush-hush. the two companies note discuss this offer. you can see the stock here jumping up 21% right now. it's up 2 bucks. what a great move for blackberry. obviously everyb

once again that's from the wire service reuters. nbc news working to confirm this independently. as i said our media partners ap reuters, have both reported that the hostage taker in the supermarket as well as the two brothers accused in the wednesday massacre at the paris newspaper all have been killed this morning. we continue to follow this situation. as i turn to richard outside the scene northeast of paris, near the airport there where the two brothers were inside that building, richard, these are two men who were known to french authorities, in particular the older brother we have learned spent time in yemen around the same time that the american-born cleric was there. a lot of people are wondering if he was inspired by him, whether he was directed by al qaeda. these are questions that authorities will be asking in the coming days. >> reporter: absolutely. i can tell you right now the mood here is already starting to calm down. it does feel like something has happened. there was a lot of activity over the last half hour or so. you can see in the body language of the counter

that obtained by reuters. take a look at this.e had yet of the attack last week on the offices of charlie hebdo. that video shows shooters after the attack shows them driving away and encountering the police leaving their car to shoot at the police and then getting back in that car and making a dramatic getaway just slipping by that police car in that street that you see there in the video. i want to bring in two experts on this kind of terrorism story, who have seen all too many of them. first up, eli lake for "bloomberg view" and chris, a veteran reporter here in paris and currently with the daily beast. eli, you've seen this video. what new information does it give us? >> it confirms that this was a very professional -- these guys had some training and fairly professional. it was not a panic move or anything like that. it also suggests that -- it's a reminder that a lot of these jihadist organizations wanted people with western passports to give them this kind of urban warfare type training. we saw it in mumbai and unfortunatel

among those killed, two journalists from reuters.ideo you're about to see is graphic and may be hard to watch. july 12, 2007. the temperature is more than 100 degrees in central baghdad. >> whoa, ied! >> this is the most violent period u.s. forces in iraq have seen. the surge, 30,000 u.s. troops are deployed to root out the insurgency. more troops on the streets means more danger, and attacks against u.s. forces are increasing daily. >> this is at the apex of iraq going to hell. the surge has just started, and the war went from incredibly violent to over the top violent, especially in baghdad. >> we would get blown up regularly, snipers shooting at us. never really tell who the enemy was. >> soldiers from the u.s. army's bravo company 216, including specialist ethan mccord, are on patrol in a rundown neighborhood called new baghdad. early that morning the battalion comes under mortar fire as it leaves the base. and while the soldiers patrol, they hear sporadic gunfire. >> this area had been a troublesome area so bravo company was tas

reuters is reporting four explosions heard at the site. so once again as we see these individuals move into that super market in eastern paris, reuters is reporting four explosions were heard in eastern paris as well. so it could be that we have simultaneous attempts here to end both of these situations as nightfalls. >> it is worth pointing out michelle as well that there are clearly civilians being moved away from the situation. >> and being put in an ambulance it looks like. yeah. >> this late in the siege would suggest that you had already cleared the bystanders i would have thought but i'm just speaking at the top of my head. >> it would appear we're looking a the hostages coming out of the supermarket at this point. >> let's return to our guest. i'm not sure if you are ache able to see the pictures here but it would appear almost a simultaneous action on both sides. if indeed they have moved in on the kosher store. >> that's what i thought a few minutes ago, that they would have do that. >> gunfire and new explosions heard at the sit

this is the kouachi brothers, said and cherif, a government source unnamed by reuters saying these two suspects have been killed. they are the two suspects of the killing at the charlie hebdo offers on wednesday. we're close to getting an official named official telling that you say this has ended. this is a siege in a small french talk about about 40 kilometers, i've been corrected, i thought it was 30k's north of paris but close to charles de gaulle airport. the men were cornered, took a hostage. the suggestion not confirmed as of yet is that that hostage has not been killed. we don't know whether in fact he was wounded but we saw the bangs, smoke rising from the building a slight flash in the fading light and the sound of what we believe to be gunfire automatic fire coming from that building and then in apparent relaxation in the security around there. the kouachi brothers, we have been told by an unnamed government source, are dead. i want to tell you about the other siege there. you see the smoke and you can see a small amount of flames and then we'll hear the automatic gunfire. t

this video coming to us from reuters.s almost 10:00 in the morning there in paris. >> once again, you are essentially part of this police chase. we are inside a vehicle that's showing us this live signal from the highway, through this horrible weather. another aspect 06 this that will have police and officials concerned that that the two suspects from the "charlie hebdo" attack one of them is believed to have training. we're talking terrorism training in yemen. the other brother was able to go to syria and iraq both skilled. the older brother able to get training possibly in weapons, how to use weapons and how to make molotov cocktails. there was an earlier report gas cans had been found. so there's a real concern that they may have an even more sinister plan that they're trying to push forward here. early reports of all of this, you're watching this unfold with us live on television as police chase a vehicle after shots were fired and 1789suspects got in that car, and now we understand this is close to the major airport.

here's more of what the source told reuters. quote, so far the number taken by the radar are unbelievably high. this rate of climb very high too high. it appears to be beyond the performance envelope of the aircraft. cnn has not been able to independently verify this report but let's discuss this with our experts. with me now is the author of this book "extreme fear the science of your mind and danger" and les abend. gentlemen thanks so much. stressing, again, that this is somewhat speculation, we don't know that this report is true but what do you make les, of this idea of a steep climb pushing the plane beyond its envelope? >> once again, if this is verifiable and credible information, it would indicate to me not the performance of the airplane but a thunderstorm with a serious updraft. 6,000, 9,000 feet was the number i heard mention. that still seems incredible even for a very strong thunderstorm. there's downdrafts in it also. what i think we were discussing on the break was that if a pilot experienced this type of a situat

the reuters story looks like it was wrong, at least that is what blackberry is saying. how do we know? >> they said blackberry is not engaging in discussions. if you look at what writers did lay out, -- reuters did lay out actually values blackberry 24 times which would be how much the company was valued at one it was the smartphone king before the iphone came in. if this were to be a deal that they would be in it would be a perry nice -- pretty nice valuation. >> i took the time to look at the filings from the last quarter of blackberry. it was a pretty good quarter. free cash flow positive. it looked like inventory really straightened out. it does look like things are not terrible at blackberry. >> right. that is correct. the criticism has been there fails miss estimates by a wide berth last quarter. software, which makes up 8% of the business when he came in november of 2013 he has taken this hardware company and started to pivot it into a peddler of software and security services. that is where investors are really going to be paying attention as to what they are do

a huge pop in an old tech blackberry now being approached reuters is reporting by samsung.s responding but still not quite up at that level in terms of price that was reportedly being bandied about. >> there would be a number of hurdles before this becomes absolutely real. there are regulatory issues blackberry is a jewel in canada. samsung is obviously a korean company, but there are things about this that would make sense. blackberry is not the phonemaker it was a few years ago. john chen has really limited the phone exposure to blackberry focused it squarely on mobile device management. you can use their service software to manage iphones, android devices as well as black blackberryies and other devices. also on security, and just back in mid-november blackberry had this announcement they would be doing security work in the enterprise with samsung. samsung is more of a partner than they had been in the past. so there is a lot of reason to believe that this could eventually happen, but, again, there's a lot of hurdles that they would have to cross before they get to that

the reuters story looks like it was wrong, at least that is what blackberry is saying. what do we know? >> they said blackberry is not engaging in discussions. you can read between the lines. if you look at what reuters did lay out, $7.1 billion would actually value blackberry about 24 times, which would be how much the company was valued at back when it was the smartphone king before the iphone came in. if this were to be a deal that they would be in talks for, it would be a pretty nice valuation. we'll see if they are actually having these conversations at this point. >> i took the time to look at the filings from the last quarter of blackberry. it was a pretty good quarter. free cash flow positive. it looked like inventory really straightened out. it does look like things are not terrible at blackberry. >> right. that is correct. but the criticism has been their sales missed estimates by a wide berth last quarter. they are about 46% hardware. but software, which makes up 8% of the business, is where john chen has tried to reinvigorate the company. when he came in nov

reuters is forcing the police for authorities for that report. i am going to repeat it.ters saying police said that four hostages who were taken at the kosher deli have been killed. we know the gunman was killed. we don't know what happened to his girlfriend who took that kosher deli with him but we have this report of four hostages killed. that is a dire thing. cheryl: a report associated press report, police forces from the kosher grocery, five hostages, woman was seen leaving, that is their side of what potentially -- stuart: we know the one woman escaped, we got that in take. now this report that the other four were killed and it was police who told reuters that four had been killed. that puts on much darker picture on what we thought was a very successful police operation in getting this through. i got to say goodbye to you. thank you for joining us. glad you could take time out today, appreciate you being with us today. until 5 minutes ago we were saying the police assault on the two hostage taking locations had been highly successful and it was in a sense that all

that's what a source tells reuters saying specifically the jet made an unbelievably steep climb nicole politzi source came to this conclusion after apparently seeing radar data from the plane and here's more of what this source told reuters and i quote, so far the numbers taken by the radar are unbelievably high. this rate of climb is very high too high. it appears to be beyond the performance envelope of the aircraft. now cnn has not been able to independently verify this report but with me now to discuss is the author of "why planes crash" david soucie. what do you make about this possible radar report this pilot had 20,000 hours of flying. would he have known just how hard he could push this plane? >> i would like to make sure people understand what climb versus speed versus angle of attack and all that stuff is. just take a second. climb cigarette when you pull the aircraft back control and climb the aircraft. you pull it back change the wings and go up. the ascent is the resulting distance that you go up and the rate of ascent is how quickly you go from there throw. so those are a

joining me on the phone from mexico michael o boyle, correspondent for reuters. how many people are you hearing could still be inside the home and potentially at risk? >> we are not entirely sure of that. one city official has said 100 people were in the hospital at the time of the blast. now about 60 people have been accounted for, including about 52 women and children who were evacuated immediately after the blast and plus the seven who have been reported dead. but again, we're still trying to figure out how many people were inside at the time. >> are you hearing anything from your sources about the potential cause of the explosion? >> yeah it appears to be and what officials have said this is an accident that happened when a gas truck was fueling the hospital's gas tanks. there appears to have been a leak from the hose that ran from the truck into the hospital and up to its tanks. so apparently there was an accumulation of gas in the hospital. it was somehow set off which is why we're seeing such a devastating images with a third of the hospital collapsed. >>
