i know there in paris along with you is thomas roberts, who can preview the hour ahead. actually, there you go. we went to claudio in brussels briefly, thomas. sorry about that. but thomas, as i was saying, the day at least in the u.s. started with what passes for good news, the confirmation that the ringleader was killed along with that raid. >> you will recall it was just less than 24 hours ago when the paris prosecutor came out with a very detailed description of what had happened in saint-denis and it talked at that point about certain deaths that had happened there, unconfirmed identities. there was wild speculation about whether or not it was abdelhamid abaaoud who was dead in those raids because of the fact they had actionable intelligence which took them to that part of belgium. so now we do have the confirmation that this jihadi ring leader was killed during that raid, reportedly riddled with bullets, according to the paris prosecutor's office. 27 years old. it was the french interior minister who talked about the fact that abaaoud was involved in four of six foi

i'm thomas roberts.e are back live in paris. the eiffel tower which was darkened for three days of national mourning, there you see it once again illuminating the city of lights. the iconic beacon glowing in french blue, white and red. there, the applause where just hours ago, the tower reopened to tourists for the first time since friday's attacks. it's a symbolic and emotional sign for a city still very much on edge and in retaliation mode. so we have the french president, fro francois hollande, leading the country in a moment of silence earlier before declaring war against jihadist threats worldwide. >> translator: france is at war. the acts committed last friday in paris and near the national stadium are acts of war. they made at least 129 casualties and many wounded. they constitute an aggression against our country, against our values, our youth, against our lifestyle. >> mean while, president obama speaking from a meeting of global leaders in turkey today, doubled down on the current strategy agai

as we go to thomas roberts in paris, we want to show you the big development in the skies over paris and thomas, we are just now seeing that the eiffel tower has been lit up again. it was dark earlier this evening and closed because they had an anonymous threat? >> so brian, this has been a very fluid situation. we just got off the phone calling over to those operators of the eiffel tower who have told us that while it is lit tonight, and we can see it in the tricolors of french blue, white and red, it is not open to the public. now, yesterday we had images and applause when they reopened the iconic eiffel tower here in paris. but today, it closed and during our conversations, calling over there repeatedly, they let us know that this will remain fluid until they feel safe for the staff and also for tourists. now, they did give nbc news a statement. this is from the operators of the eiffel tower, saying that the main suspect of the talks are security measures that must be put in place to ensure that both visitors and staff are safe. there was french media reporting that there was some

before we go i want to bring in thomas roberts. he's been broadcasting in paris. rom you. i know there's memorials and the like, but the feel of paris right now for you, thomas, is what? >> reporter: it feels like it's slowly getting back to a sense of itself. we keep using the phrase this new normal. obviously parisians know that they are vulnerable to attack. they lost 130 people last friday. senseless violence here on the streets, but we've seen people come out today, and alex, this is an image of an artist that came nearby putting hearts, paper hearts, into the subway vent and they were flying in the air and it was this beautiful sight earlier today and she said she just wants to show everybody love. so we've seen this city go from shock to putting up shrines to claiming to be survivors, but knowing that security is what's most important to them right now and taking their lives back from those who tried to take their security away. >> yeah, well, god bless all those folks in paris and great reporting. thank you so much, thomas roberts, from place de la republiq

she and thomas roberts are with us. there must be a hangover there because of what everyone went through late last night into the early morning hours. >> reporter: absolutely, brian. people here are still living in this fluidity of shock after what happened on friday, but also the major crackdown we are seeing from french officials because now there have been 414 raids that have been conducted, 64 people arrested, 60 people in custody. 75 weapons have been seized. and 118 people are under house arrest. you mentioned 9/11 before, and i just had an exclusive sit-down with the u.s. ambassador to france, jane hartley -- >> let me interrupt you because our press conference is just starting. >> translator: are the mikes working well? do you hear well? okay, i'm not going to touch anything. you let me know when you're ready. is the sound good? i'm hearing mike noises.

i'm thomas roberts.r coverage continues on the developments in the aftermath of the paris attacks. we have developments from the new raids and arrests overnight in brussels, belgium. a fourth suspect has been charged in connection to the paris attacks. it was just moments ago in this hour that the belgian prime minister announced that schools will reopen on wednesday. the schools and the metro as well. they had been closed down. it will be the first time this week, they were living under a security threat level of four. closed out of fear that a series of coordinated attacks like the ones that happened here in paris on friday the 13th might be imminent there. then back here in france, police continue to comb the area around the apartment in saint-denis, where the suspected architect of these attacks, abdelhamid abaaoud, was killed. authorities are still holding the man connected to that apartment where the terror suspects were found in detention. >> i think the police want to know how the terrorists came

hear, of course, claudio, thank you. >>> want to turn now to paris, where we get the latest from thomas robertsre we hearing there on the ground? >> reporter: erika, so it remains an active manhunt right now for the suspected eighth bomber. salah abdeslam who has last seen crossing into belgium going towards that border. that remains an active search. but this is a new normal for paris, for all of france as the parliament backed up president hollande's request for the three-month state of emergency, which broadens surveillance powers, which makes it much easier for security forces to take advantage of issues where before they might have had to get judicial warrants, they don't have to do that now for people of interest, people that they suspect might be involved in any type of terrorism cell. as claudio was talking about there, in brussels, while the streets are empty, the streets here in paris are full. it is a clearer night. more clear than what you've been used to while you were here, erika, where it was raining and cold, it's a little bit chilly, but it is clear and no rain, and so people c

i'm joined now by msnbc's thomas roberts who's been following all the latest developments here in the city of light. one of the big ones is under this state of emergency which is officially going to go on now three more months after both houses voted to pass that, we have seen really stepped up security at what they consider some key infrastructure sites across paris. >> so there are major waterways around the city of paris. and there is increased security around those. i spoke to one source that said they're not surprised to hear this news. that they typically have sources of police protection around them, but to have them ramped up at this point is not uncommon given the state of emergency that we're living in officially now. >> essentially protecting the water supply. >> correct. and also keeping a close eye out for anything else that may seem suspicious. because, chris, as you know they have wide ranging powers now. and all the raids that have been conducted since last friday night to check out and go in to anybody's home without any type of judicial authorization. right now there
