paris. at the stade de france as well as two other neighborhoods, the national stadium where there was an e mnormous soccer match goin on. i'm told by french police one possibly two explosions and elsewhere and other attacks use of ak-47, use of automatic weapons, these are serious weapons not common in france. the explosions, use of those automatic weapons, multiple targets and now additional reporting of possible hostage situation at a theater. all these things at least have the earmarks, the hallmarks of a terror attack. and of course similar to what we saw at "charlie hebdo" in january in paris. the earlier reports of a death toll were 18. we are watching those numbers with closely because those numbers at least reports of those numbers have been rising very quickly. it is a by all indications really an unprecedented attack in terror -- attack in paris in terms of scale, in terms of the number of attacks we're seeing here. at least early indications of the casualties of this attack. i've spoken to u.s. counterterror officials. they are aware of the reports. they are checking now wi

into custody. france is extending its state of emergency for another three months as new fears in brussels have emerged. authorities taking action after what they say is a serious and imminent threat, warning people to stay away from large groups, shutting down major subway line, drew zbrimpb in the belgium capital of brussels. drew the belgium prime minister came out and said the high alert is based on what he said, quite precise information of an attack. what are you hearing? >> reporter: they had an mortgages meeting this morning, this threat level rising to the highest level came in the middle of the night. so most of the nyeem this town woke up to the news that this was going on 67 as you can see, there were people on the street, many, many shops were closed. the subways are closed. buses were on low alert. it takes forever to get a taxi in this town t. major games, soccer games, et cetera, have been canceled based on government orders. this is what the prime minister had to tell his people this morni morning. >> the first thing is a large event. the sec thing is a mobilized

to a renewed declaration of war against isis. i promise you solemnly, he said, that france will do everything to destroy the army of fanatics who carried out these crimes. it's not just talk. hollande has been working hard to strengthen the coalition forces fighting isis. in a meeting with russia's vladimir putin yesterday, the two leaders appeared at a joint media conference. hollande said they had agreed to intensify u.s.-led coalition attacks on isis. in a complete about-turn today, russia's presidential spokesman denied the deal. here in belgium, police continued their manhunt for two paris suspects. after five days of police raids, they're no longer to finding salah abdeslam and mohamed abrini, who are still on the run. it's not just france and belgium that are dealing with the implications of the paris attacks. in germany, a man was arrested on suspicion of selling weapons to the paris gunmen. a further two germans were also arrested, but as has become a pattern, they were released quickly without being charged. michelle? >> debora patta in brussels, thank you. >>> this morni

france after these horrific attacks will be going to the white house on tuesday, but then later in the week going to see the russian president vladimir putin. is the power shifting here with russia taking the lead and not the u.s.? >> well, that's one of the things. i would say we're no longer in free-fall. we've hit the ground and we've hit it really hard. what president hollande is doing in going to putin he isn't seeking military capabilities that putin has and that we don't. we have 20 times the power of putin in the middle east. it's an area where we have huge bases, and police and everything else. but putin is willing to use force aggressively. that's what hollande wants to see. so he's, in a way, putting us under pressure by indicating that he can also go to russia. but this is so bad, russia and iran, its new ally, forming a security belt in the middle east is almost as dangerous as isis. at least for the region. >> you heard the president just a short time ago, just overnight, he's in malaysia, he said this, he said we're going to destroy isil on the battlefield and we wil

will meet in moscow today with vladimir putin. france wants to get russia and the west on the same page, building a coalition to battle isis. it's a challenge, especially after that russian plane was shot down by turkey. >> reporter: tensions are boiling over in moscow, where protesters hurled eggs and stones at the turkish embassy. an angry response after the downing of a russian bomber near the syrian border. e of the pilots did not survive. now, turkey is releasing recordings of what it says were repeated warnings sent over radio to the russian jets. turkey says the plane was warned ten times in five minutes, but the russian and avigator on the plane who ejected and was later rescued disputes that. speaking to reporters but not showing his face, the navigator either on the radio or visually. experts say it's possible they weren't tuned into the same channels. the navigator also says the plane never flew into turkish air space, claiming his jet was on the syrian side the whole time. turkey released a different flight path, showing the jet flying other a sliver of turkish territor

want to tell you that the military response here in france continues. there was yet another round of air strikes in northern syria in raqqah. there was a raid of ten fighter jets which bombed two command centers in the de facto capital, raqqah. they're calling this operation shamal. so three nights in a row that fighter jets have pounded syria trying to get to the islamic state, that's the terrorist organization that's claimed responsibility for what happened on friday night. when we know more about what the prosecutor said, we'll let you know. >> thank you very much and we, of course, will be keeping an eye on that press conference to begin in just a few moments' time. >> stocks pushing higher now for the third consecutive day. the dow is up triple digits at this hour. crude oil briefly fell below $40 a peril. a quarter above that, down 42 cents or about 1% on the trading session today. bob pisani joins us now from the floor of the nyse. >> tyler, we have a little bit of a minnut mini rally going th. here is your three biggest sectors, health care, financials, and technology. when t
