in friday's deadly rampage. six new raids in belgium overnight and hundreds more here in france in recent days have failed to catch him. >> translator: the republic is doing everything to destroy terrori terrorism. >> reporter: french security services have netted perhaps the most dangerous suspect, abdelhamid abaqoud, the alleged mastermind confirmed killed in a furious gun battle with police wednesday. >> translator: in the operation there was a target and it was reached. >> reporter: and tonight, we're seeing chilling new video of this raid, just moments before police killed abaaoud. france is working feverishly to prevent scenes like this one captured, of tbtained by daily mail.com. one woman saved because the terrorist assault rifle appears to jam. today french lawmakers voted to extend the country's state of emergency giving police broad new powers to detain suspects. >> translator: we are at war and for us to remain ourselves because that is what is in question, france must not lose itself to win this war. france must respond to hatred with fraternity. france will respond to

canalron was in -- david cameron was in france to discuss the events of the last week. and what assistance is david cameron offering there? >> well, wolf, i want to get to that, but one thing that paris police have told cnn and that is an area in paris has been sealed off after the discovery in a garbage can of something that is resembling a suicide have vest, and a bomb retrieval group will be there to remove it, and we will tell you more about that when we get it. and now, as to the prime minister, yes, he crossed the english channel to meet with the president in a show of solidarity. this is what he had to say. >> it is good to be back in paris, a city whose people have shown determination and courage and resilience. a city where millions came out friday night to live their lives and send a clear message to the terrorists, you will e never win. you will never beat paul. >> the two leaders visited together at the scene of the bataclan theater where more than 80 people were killed, massacred at a rock concert by the terrorists. but david cameron brought more than a show of solidarity, bec

a battle zone. scores of police and commandos race past the stade de france sports complex to the site where they thought they might find the ringleader of friday's attacks, abdelhamid abaaoud. there in two apartments they confronted a cell of heavily armed terrorists apparently ready to carry out another attack. the raid sets off an hour long fire fight and six-hour siege. [ gunfire ] the force of the assault and the explosive response so powerful that a floor in the complex collapsed. at the end the facts still unclear. belgium state broadcaster rtbs reports a female cousin of abaaoud appeared to blow herself up with an explosive belt. at least one other suspected terrorist is dead, but exactly how many more killed? difficult to dissurgecern with parts littered among the rubble. the key question tonight, is abdelhamid abaaoud dead? dna tests under way to match the body parts found in the apartment. eight people were taken into custody, but officials say abaaoud was not among them. a resident of the building describes the mayhem. >> translator: really we could see the bullets, th

this map, showing brussels on high alert. france's state of emergency has been extended three months. mali been declared a state of emergency. beijing police have increased the alert level throughout the city to prevent potential terror attacks and handle emergencies. christian, what is your reaction? >> through the voice of the french president, we are a target. it is only the start of the war. we are so far away from the end. there will be targets for all the french that are considered to be a target, not only in france but in mali yesterday. i am sure they tried to find out if there were some french people at the radisson hotel, which is the place where most of the westerners go. it is supposed to be the most secured place. everywhere for the french government, gave instruction to the french to protect themselves, not to move to very big place with too many people. they know that we are a target. it is not over. we do know that in france, the extension of the state of the emergency is appreciated by the french population. we still think it might be extended longer. because, once m

russia, the united states, the gulf states, jordan, iran, hezbollah, france and others. it's a serious development but not all together one that wasn't anticipated. >> ben, thank you so much for that. the kremlin is calling the downing of their fighter jet a very serious incident. let's turn to matthew chance who is live in moscow. what's the reaction from there? >> reporter: the russians are confirming it was indeed a russian warplane that was taken down by that fire. they say though on a number of different levels they dispute the turkish account. first of all, they deny this warplane went into turkish airspace. they say it completely stayed inside syrian airspace where russian is carrying out air strikes against rebel groups opposed to the syrian president. they also deny that this plane was brought down by an air to air missile. turks say the f-16 interceptors were scrambled and shot the russian plane out of the sky. russians say it was brought down by fire from the ground. that will be clarified in the hours ahead. the big concern in russia at the moment was the fate of th

terror attacks to let them know if you're in france, they want to account for all americans. we'll have the phone numbers on the screen. reach out and make a call to the numbers if you are there in paris. live coverage of the terror attacks continues right now with anderson cooper. >>> erin, thanks very much. good evening, everybody. we're covering the wave of terror that's broken out over paris tonight. the deputy mayor put the death toll at 118 but that could rise. you're looking at the scene of a recent concert hall by the time security forces ended the siege there. one witness described a slow-motion massacre. ten to 15 minutes of gunfire according to this witness. the killers apparently not saying anything, just shooting, reloading and shooting again according to this witness. shooting and reloading, the word he used was blood bath. it was one in a string of shootings, terror attacks, bombings at two restaurants that we know of in the city's major soccer stadium throw the deputy mayor said there were attacks at six to seven locations. paris tonight is under curfew, all of france un

french president francois hollande at the site of one attack. and as france launched new air strikes at isis targets inside syria, david cameron says he'll push for britain to do the same thing. and other european capital meanwhile is on lockdown right now. schools, stores and the subway system they're closed in brussels, home to the european union and nato. belgium is on high alert for what authorities say is an imminent threat of a paris style attack. as security forces hunt for the suspected eighth paris attacker, salah abdelsalam. also at large, the so-called voice of death, an infamous isis commander who claimed the paris massacres in the name of the terror group. we're learning he may have helped direct that slaughter along with other attacks and may be planning a new strike. i'll speak with congressman andre carson of the intelligence committee and our correspondents, analysts and guests they'll have full coverage of the day's top stories. let's begin with our justice correspondent pamela brown. she has the very latest on all these fast moving developments. what are you learni

expected at that game. francois hollande was at that game in france that was struck on friday. here in france tonight, officials announcing a possible second suspect linked to the paris attacks is at large. this as a massive manhunt for salah abdeslam intensifies. there is an unprecedented display of force. i went to belgium today. i spoke to his brother mohammed abdeslam. i asked him if he could speak to his brother right now, his brother on the run, what would he say? >> translator: i would tell him to surrender. that it's best solution. to contact authorities, but he must not be afraid to surrender to explain. >> new images of french air strike. the story continues to move by the hour. we again with max foster on the foiled plot to attack a soccer stadium in hanover, germany. this was specific intelligence of a striked plan at this game today. >> reporter: serious enough to have a stadium cleared 1 1/2 hours before the match started. this is something no one wanted to see. they wanted to show defiance in the face of this threat you are seeing in paris. the local police chief put it

french interior ministry, they have concluded the first suicide bomber at the stade de france, the football match that was going on live on friday night, was somebody who is in possession of what they believe were fake documents that were issued to this person as he came, they believe, in a wave of refugees and migrants. they know, according to these documents they say he was processed arrivine ining on the island of leros october/3 a 3rd with other refugees made the trip through macedonia and serbia and croatia and registered according to french authorities in a serbian refugee camp on october 7th. it is proposed and concluded by investigators here this person would have gradually made their way to paris over the period of over a month since then the attack happened november 13th. they say that the fingerprint of the first bomber at the stade de france matches the print on this document that was found with him. they say the name is ahmad mohammed. they say he was born according to these documents the 10th of september, 1999. they also say the -- 2345e7b th. they say the new develo

time, they let him go. now salah abdeslam is france's most wanted. cnn's erin burnet spoke to his family in belgium. >> what would you say? what do you say to him? >> translator: i would tell him to surrender. >> reporter: belgium authorities picked up two men with him in the car charging them with complicity and through their attorney, they tell a most interesting tale. the two men say a couple hours after the attacks, they received a phone call from salah abdeslam and he founded upset claiming his car broke down and he needed a ride back to belgium. the two friends came here and picked him up in paris. the attorney says he had no idea he had been involved in the attacks. the attorney says the men noticed he was carrying something. quote a big jacket and other things. maybe like an explosive belt or something like that. unquote. it raises the question. is salah abdeslam a suspected terrorist on the run or did he simply change his mind and run away? martin savidge, cnn, paris. >>> breaking news. a russian plane shot down on the turkish side of the border. we have more from ivan wa

. >>> good evening, 8:00 local time here in beautiful paris, france. i'm brooke baldwin. of course, continuing our special live coverage of the terror attacks. you're watching cnn. today some breaking details about one of the suspects. investigators are trying to hunt down. a source close to the investigation tells cnn that mohammad abrini traveled to syria last year and somehow returned to europe undetected, which is extraordinarily concerning for investigators. keep in mind abrini is the new suspect. this is the same man who we talked about this time yesterday who was caught on camera in a gas station en route from bruls els to paris with the other fugitive they're also looking for, salah abdelsalam. and saw them on this footage just two days before the attacks. so i can tell you an international arrest warrant is now out for abrini. another huge concern for investigators here in france, watching for signs of radicalization among airport and public transit workers. a french counterterrorism source says the monitoring actually had been going on for a number of years. this is not n

. >> france is under a state of emergency. the first time the entire nation has been under such a state of emergency in more than 50 years. >> right now, french lawmakers debating whether to extend the state of emergency for three more months. the debate comes the day after the bloody and dramatic raid on two apartments in a paris suburb. >> hundreds of police officers, special forces, military troops descended on a building north of paris in saint-denis early wednesday looking for the man who is believed to have orchestrated the friday attacks. abdelhamid abaaoud. he's belgian. investigators are trying to determine if one of the bodies in the building there is abaaoud. >> there was so much destruction, they have to sift through the body parts and try to match the dna if they can get it. they say one woman blew herself up at the beginning of the raid. she was wearing some kind of suicide belt. she has been identified in some reports as abaaoud's cousin. eight people were arrested in wednesday's operation. officials make clear they do not think abaaoud was one of them. >> meanwhile

biggest draw of the night is a huge international soccer match at the stade de france, france's national stadium. france versus rival germany draws tens of thousands of fans, among them, the french president, francois hollande, but it becomes the event the terrorists chose to begin their deadly ram page. 9:20 p.m., the game is already underway when a man approaches the stadium entrance. >> translator: i come face to face with this individual. his beard is dripping with sweat. this was not reassuring and prompted me to wonder what was going on. and i could see he was very anxious, disturbed. >> security guards frisk him and find their worst nightmare, an explosive belt. >> boom! >> translator: he had blown himself up. my shoulders and body were propelled back. >> the soccer match continues. fans unaware, paris unaware. until four miles away, three masked gunmen armed with assault rifles open fire at two restaurants popular with young parisians. >> we heard huge gunshots and lots of glass coming through the window. so we ducked onto the floor with all of the other diners. >> back

terror attacks in paris. i'm isha sesay. >> two air france planes just diverted in north america. but we begin with gun fire in a northern paris suburb. police are not confirming a report that officers had been shot during this operation. [ gun fire ] >> it happened in a suburb st. denis. let's go straight to senior international correspondent who's live in paris with details. atika, what can you tell us? >> well, i'm on the way now to the neighborhood of st. denis. this is one of the northern neighborhoods of paris. it's actually where the stadium attack occurred. now what we understand is around 4:30 in the morning, residents reported hearing automatic gun fire and at least one explosion. police have now confirmed to us that an operation is under way in connection to the hunt for those suspects of the paris attacks. now, we have not confirmed this ourself, however, our local affiliate is also reporting that one police officer has been wounded in the operation. this is still on going. they have closed off some of the routes to the neighborhood. but this does seem to be in relati

, disconnected young muslims across the middle east. and even in countries like france and germany. >> i mean, by islam in syria, i originally come from canada. >> i'm thinking like i'm still dreaming, i'm feeling like i'm still dreaming, thinking like i'm in the dream world. you have to be here to understand what i'm saying. >> and, of course, isis also manipulates us, television news. they put their videos online, we put them on television and in a bizarre twist, isis turns around and makes clever use of what it sees on tv. this video is called victory in kobani. it glorifies the isis capture of that syrian city, while mocking president obama. >> there's no military solution to isil. i have a military only solution. >> the angry rhetoric of cable news fits right into their script. >> we've proven that we cannot defeat these people. we are so incompetent in terms of conducting a foreign policy, in terms of conducting military operation. >> cnn makes an occasional appearance. >> enter that city of kobani. >> fox news is a favorite of isis, they demand boots on isis, they demand boots on

attacks that rocked this city. just moments ago france president -- french president francois hollande said, we are at war. france is at war. but he says, it is not a battle of civilizations because isis represents no civilization. here are the latest details in the paris terror attack investigation. an urgent international search is under way right now for the brother of one dead attacker. belgian born french citizen salah abdeslam. ops failed to catch him in a raid this morning. police tell the public he is dangerous. do not approach him. they had him. they questioned him on a highway on the way to belgium not hours after the attack but let him go. we have more information, also, about the isis connection. two members of the terror group are thought to have masterminded the paris attacks. they are believed to be in iraq or syria right now and have french and belgian connections. cnn's french affiliate reports six attackers, six of the eight people believed to be primarily responsible for the attacks on friday spent time in syria. as i said, french president francois hollande addresse

. john? >> martin, there is investigations going on all over france and belgium, as well. i understand authorities there are looking for ten additional people who they say could be some kind of terrorist threat. what do we know about this search and is this just a different thing than the paris attack? >> reporter: it is believed to be different but goes a long way to explain why in belgium they are under this lockdown since last friday. that did begin to ease today. the subway system reopened with the exception of two lines. there are are e ports coming from government officials there that there are ten members of a terrorist cell that are believed to be heavily armed, possibly with explosive vests that may be looking for targets in which to strike. they do not identify which group this may belong to. they certainly don't give any geographic locations where they may be but they do hint that their targets could become meshl a commercial areas which is another area they are warning the public to stay away from. ten members of a cell armed with explosives, that is a fantastically frighte

thing. this is the number we talked about a lot. 11,000. in france alone. 11,000 people suspected of ties to terrorism or radicalization. they will say and i hear this from u.s. officials. you have numerous warnings like this. numerous possible plots you are trying to extinguish on any given day of any year. we covered a lot of terror attacks. often times when an attack happens, you say hindsight is 20/20. in this case, i have to say these are multiple information points here. you knew about the mastermind of a previous plot. you knew they were planning an attack in this mold. you had several of the attackers on a warning list here. we know they don't have the resources to follow and monitor all of them. this is a remarkable number of signs to have missed. >> what about the mastermind? they say they were monitoring him. >> they were trying to monitor him. that is the thing. it looks like they were not able to monitor him. apparently he faked had his own death or attempted to fake his death by having someone to make a phone call. oh, poor abdelhamid abaaoud, he's dead now. then use th

the authorities here in france, belgium, that they can track him down? it seems pretty amazing that someone could evade all of these countries looking for him. >> i think it is amazing, seems to be no trace of him after about a week. he arrived back in belgium on a saturday morning. a week later, nobody knows where he is. >> nothing. >> there is nothing. some speculate that he may have even taken his own life. he was in a very agitated state. he didn't know where to turn. others, very, very poor sourcing on this say he maybe was spotted. that's why this intense belgian operation continues because they feel he is still out there and may finally carry out this act of martyrdom. >> and what other lives might he take. thank you very much. you can go to cnn.com, read tim's fascinating piece. also, we know that in less than 48 hours, president obama will sit down for a face-to-face meeting with the french president. president obama slamming isis when he spoke today on his trip to malaysia. >> they're a bunch of killers. with good social media. the americans who are building things and mak

now, france on edge, hundreds of people deemed security risks. >>> magnificent mile protest. thousands taking to the renowned shopping district to protest the shooting death of laquan mcdonald. today we're asking, did the protests work? >>> and carson in jordan. the republican presidential candidate making a surprise trip, going overseas to visit refugees. but will the trip silence critics of his grasp of foreign policy? . >>> and you are in the "cnn newsroom." i'm pamela brown in for poppy harlow. thank you for being with us this saturday. we have brand-new details just emerging in that deadly rampage in colorado springs. we've just learned at least four survivors have been released from the hospital. at this point we believe five people are still being treated. the suspect, robert dear, is due in court on monday. he's being held without bail in colorado. and i want to show you this, a first look at the suspect's residence. this tiny yellow shack located in the woods near black montana, north carolina. this is the place where robert dear allegedly lived before he traveled to colorado

situation not seen in france in generations. the french president calling them an act of war. and our chief national security correspondent jim sciutto is with me now. jim, we just literally have these headlines crossing, identifying the first of the attackers. >> that's right. this appears to be the same frenchman we reported had been identified by his fingerprints and someone known to the police previously, known to have been radicalized but not necessarily involved in terrorism. this gives you what president hollande referred to earlier in the day, this plot had apparently had both local and international involvement. >> so we're learning about this man, 29 or 30 years old, was known to french authorities prior to this. but that is one of seven. >> exactly. >> of course, there's a network beyond that. what about the other names? >> you have that initial ring of the attackers that carried out these attacks. they have one of those identified. they discovered a syrian and egyptian passport. there's some doubts about the authenticity, so those are not positive identifications at this point.

>>> breaking news this morning, more than 150 terror raids overnight in france. investigators revealing new information about who was behind the paris attacks. a manhunt happening for one dangerous suspect as french jets bomb isis in syria. live team coverage breaking it all down begins right now. good morning. welcome to "early start." i'm christine romans in new york. >> and i'm john berman live in paris this morning. it is monday, november 16th. 4:00 a.m. in the east. it is 10:00 a.m. here in paris. welcome viewers in the united states and all around the world. this morning, i'm standing in the plaza de la republique. today, there are not as many people here, but that may be a good sign. to the extent, people are getting back to work today. kids are going to school. some of the landmarks are beginning to open today, though not all. we have breaking news at this hour on the investigation. overnight, police conducted more than 150 terror raids across france making arrests. not clear whether these raids were connected directly to the attacks here on friday or separate from sep

the operation here and therefore may have links to other cells in france and belgium, other cells that may be, may planning other attacks, fredricka. >> nic, these other cells, whether they be in belgium or right there in france, that you mentioned, are investigators feeling that they may be concentrated in particular areas, especially maybe the neighborhoods where they already in saint-denis conducted the raids? is there a concentrated effort, you know, to kind of better comb that area, to see if there are active cells there? >> well, saint-denis would be one of the neighborhoods where they would look more extensively given what they've already discovered there. but what we're seeing here and what we're seeing from the french ministry's office over the past few days, as recently as yesterday, in the past five days alone, almost 800 raids, more than 100 arrests, more than 170 weapons rounded up. and these are coming all across the country. now, many of them are happening in the larger cities, like leon, like marseille in the south, where there are neighborhoods that have high immi

, police launch more than 150 raids here in france. within the last few hours, this sweep in neighboring belgium. two dozen people are now in custody. more than 100 others are under house arrest. also, a global man hunt now underway for this man who may have been involved in the attacks. salah abdeslam is a french civilian born in belgium. one of his brothers died in the attack. another has just been released from custody in belgium, where prosecutors had arrested him as part of the investigation. in fact, of the seven people arrested in belgium, five of them are now free. next hour, we're beginning to hear from the leaders of france and the united states. president hollande will address the french parliament and barack obama will discuss the u.s. role in france's air strikes on isis. there's a lot ahead in the next hour, as well as in this hour. i want to begin with nick paton walsh, who is joining us this morning from erbil, iraq. what's the latest on the new threat from isis? >> well, it is very much r relevant to the usual language, goading on the enemies but referencing the attacks

friday. we will have much more on that in just a moment. meanwhile, here in france, police literally digging through the rubble of an apartment in the suburb of saint-denis. that is where the raid was yesterday. the huge raid involving more than 100 law enforcement officials. 5,000 rounds fired. it was targeting the man believed to be the ringleader of last week's attacks. abdelhamid abaaoud. officials say they moved in toward that apartment because of wire taps. they had information showing that at a minimum, abaaoud's cousin was saying there. it is believed at this point that cousin is dead. she apparently blew herself up early in the operation wearing some kind of suicide explosive device. at this point, police say they do not believe abaaoud is among the eight people arrested. there were eight people taken to custody and in custody right now. abaaoud is not one of them. however, what they are doing is going through the apartment building testing body parts. so much destruction, all that is left is body parts. trying to link dna to that man, abaaoud, to see if he was kil

expanded to france and belgium and the netherlands. the netherlands says that it is a global manhunt. and abdeslam in the past has spent time in the netherlands. and one of the things we have to keep in mind is that this is the guy in the cell who rented some of the cars. one of the cars that was rented was found in a paris neighborhood here very close to where the ring leader then was later killed. this is certainly someone who knows how to get around europe and certainly this participate of europe in particular. >> do we know when he was last seen? >> yeah, i mean, that is one of the things that puzzles many people in this investigation. the last time is when he was checked by the police after the attack. he was taken into custody, questioned and, then, don, he was released. that is one of the big failures that people are talking about. at that point in time, the authorities did not keep him in custody. the cops didn't feel a reason to keep him in custody. he was last seen on a highway outside of paris. but knowing that area a little bit, the highways branch off into the netherlands and

many have been mobilized to protect france at the moment. they're around the site of the conference itself. big security perimeter there. a lot of streets will be locked off as more leaders arrive and the talks get under way officially tomorrow. 3,000 security forces or around that number alone protecting that site. a massive operation. when you get a sense of those resources required to hold something like this, protect so many world leaders and visitors and so forth, you have to understand, the environmental activists themselves can understand why perhaps a huge march involving hundreds of thousands of people are something the police security forces and the government wouldn't have been able to deal with today. >> huge effort by a lot of people involved. phil black in paris. we'll check in with you later. thank you very much for joining us. >>> scientists running for months all the way from norway to paris. it's all to raise awareness for how climate change has affected the arctic. take a look. >> irwin knudson is a climate scientist from norway. he's been running for nearly four

against france. of course, malg li is a former french colony. mali was home to the french intervention in 2013 where they tried to work to stamp out these very fanatical movements that looked to be behind today's attack. >> robyn, it's also coming through that six american citizens were among those rescued so far in mali. that coming from u.s. africa command that was sent out on twitter. what else are you hearing about who could have been inside that hotel? who were among the rescued? >> reporter: the hotel seemed fairly full. a number of chinese people were inside. we understand some of them were rescued. german foreign office said two germans were able to escape. we heard there were russians who managed to get out as well. also not sure if others remained inside. six american citizens, an american special operations forces on the ground there assisting in some way. we're not sure in what capacity they were assisting malian forces who were running the operation along with the u.n. mission there. a number of other indian nationals, algerians rescued as well. at the moment

once a transportation bus driver in france until 2012. he was charged with collaborating with a terrorist enterprise after he allegedly tried to fly to yemen. it's one reason why it's been investigated whether radical islamists are working at major transportation hubs. >> security is only as good as people doing security. >> reporter: aircraft has been refused access for being too radicalized, according to a police official. in the wake of the paris attacks and downing of a russian jetliner from a bomb believed to be placed in the plane's cargo hold, french airport police conducted searches at several companies whose staff work at the airport. >> how do you vet thousands and thousands of people? because as we always say, they just have to get lucky once to close our aviation down and this is a real threat. >> reporter: in the u.s., an airport employee in minneapolis with access to commercial airplanes traveled to syria and died while fighting for isis. >> that was somebody who was radicalized and just as easily could have slipped a bomb on an airplane. >> reporter: today, homela

do. what we are hearing is the u.s. would like to see both france and great britain put more special operations forces into the fight, specifically to join some of those 50 u.s. troops that are headed towards northern syria. the big effort there is to help local kurdish fighters open up some routes to get them to be able to challenge isis in its strong hold of raqqah. all of this really now putting more focus on syria and more focus inside syria to boot isis out of raqqah if they can make it happen. it's a very tall order. isis has seen raqqah as its de-facto capital, as its center of power for its leaders but there is an effort now really to focus some serious fire power on that problem. erin? >> barbara starr, thank you very much from the pentagon tonight. and now, our national security analyst, former assistant secretary juliette kayyen is injoing me, along with intelligence lieutenant colonel rick francona. lieutenant, let me start with you. this is a very sobering warning. it's broad based and based on the metro jet attack and off of the attacks in paris. a pretty fright

they will get holed up. >> he was drejting an operation the scale of which france has not seen in living memory on friday. >> we do know they have been hard at work since friday. we have been told this raid this second apprehension of these people planning something else. they launched this based on intelligence gathering, investigating the 1st attacks. we know they recovered a whole bunch of cell phones. they were looking at decoding that information right there. so it is possible intelligence gleaned from the initial raid this morning. >> abaaoud was thought to have come back. i mean, he is the most high profile, most violent, most known belgium jihadi who has gone to syria and then you know to come back and linked to a series of failed attacks in the years alone. he had connections according to police with the guy on the toronto who tried to massacre people with an ak-47 this summer. >> we got the homeland security memo yesterday. u.s. authorities had their eye on abdelhamid abaaoud for some time because of the paris train attacks, because of the attacks in verviers last year.

totally devastating for the image of france and for the french government. poppy? >> there's no question. especially since that eighth attacker in the paris attacks abdeslam is still a fugitive, still on the run. jim bittermann live for us in paris. thank you very much. his mission is one of compassion. jesuit priest who believes everyone deserves something more than just a second chance. the story on home boy industries. you won't want to miss it, next. ok, we're here. here's dad. mom. the twins. aunt alice... you didn't tell me aunt alice was coming. of course. don't forget grandpa. can the test drive be over now? maybe just head back to the dealership? don't you want to meet my family? yep, totally. it's practically yours, but we still need your signature. hurry in for great deals all black friday weekend on select new volkswagen models during the sign- then-drive event. in panama, which is a city of roughly 2 million people, we are having 5,000 new cars being sold every month. this is a very big problem for us with respect to fast and efficient transportation. it's kind of a

more immediate goal? >> he believes that, if he maintains his cool, that countries like france, great britain, and he hopes also the united states, will allow him at the big table and that he will then get a de facto spear of influence over syria. >> reporter: u.s. officials hope this incident will finally convince putin to stop fighting rebels who are fighting al assad and instead fight isis. that's the change in strategy that washington wants to see. but don't hole your breath yet. >> barbara starr at the pentagon, thanks so much. remarkable video of that incident. cnn's senior international correspondent nick walsh is back from the battle lines. now in istanbul, turkey, turkey the front line in the battle against syria, with plane shot down. what's the reaction there? >> reporter: well, turkey, frankly, staunchly defiant about what it did. their justification, this is not the first time russia has, in their opinion, openly violated airspace. late the september a number of similar instances, russian and turkish officials met and tried to hammer out any confession, and it clearly see

happened this week. so we belgium, france, turkey, of course, the sanctuary in syria. we see it's a complete international affair and that we have to deal with the sanctuary itself, because of the international. >> and professor, i wonder if an obstacle for investigators there is the fact that paris is a very international city. i went to school there as an exchange student in college for a semester and saw that for myself. and whether it be the police force or whether it be in a restaurant or anywhere, it is very international. there are people who represent the world right there in paris. i wonder if that becomes an obstacle, as investigators rye to sift through and look at potential suspects. >> well, i'm not sure it's an obstacle for the police, but what i'm sure is that paris was indeed, for this reason, targeted. you know that there was a debate regarding to the world solidarity with paris and not that much with beirut, for instance, or bamako. and i think it's a technique, precisely because of this world attention on paris, that isis targeted france. and if i may, i would als

volkswagen models during the sign- then-drive event. >>> all right, france says it has stopped nearly 1,000 people from entering the country since the paris terror attacks. the french interior minister says people who have been turned away were deemed security risks to our public order. he also said that there are 15,000 officers currently stationed along france's borders. and three people are dead after a mortar attack in northern mali overnight. mortars launched at a united nations base killed two peacekeepers and a contractor and wounded other people. >>> and intelligence officials in kenya say they have uncovered what they call an iranian-sponsored spy ring in the country's capital. they also say the operatives were planning on carrying out terror attacks. cnn correspondent robin krooel is live for us from nairobi on some exclusive information about this. robin, what do we know so far? >> well, fredricka, what we know is that counterintelligence officials here in kenya told cnn that the two men, both kenyan nationals, were plotting terror attacks on soft targets, such as western hotels

mayors of france gathering -- the association of mayors gathering, 11,000 mayors. in france, the mayors have a different role than in the united states. they have policing powers, especially in smaller villages where there aren't as many police. they have police forces in their own towns. the mayors are very important in getting the message out, providing security, that sort of thing. they will talk about the values of the republic and all that. i also suspect because of the events this morning, he'll speak about what happened. >> when the french put out, as jim bitterman was saying, when the french officials come out, they have things it talk about. one other point, are you hearing what we've been hearing that this idea of these raids have been an awakening for the authorities, that they are discovering an intricacy of a network and criminality and terror framework in and around their midst they were not aware of. >> i think absolutely. after charlie hebdo -- the interior minister is speaking now. >> we'll get a translation. let'slien in. >> translator: i would like to give my sincere

accomplices and to try to plot more terror here this week in france. erin? >> clarissa, you were there. you heard part of this. this wasn't just -- it went down quickly -- it went on for hours and hours. >> it went on for seven hours. our colleague atika shubert was there from very early in the morning as the grenades and explosions were going off. police were rushing a church and banging down the door. it wasn't clear what was inside the church and then we were actually able to get up on a rooftop where we could see the back of the apartment building and it was incredible to see all of the windows had been blown out. the entire wall was pock marked with heavy munitions and we could see forensic experts combing through the entire apartment, looking for dna, looking for any clues as to who was killed and who may have spent time there. >> and part of the rush here, paul, was they felt they couldn't wait. obviously they were afraid he would flee if he was there but because they thought another attack might be imminent. >> absolutely right. the concern was that this was wave two of the paris at

of vegetables and apples. >>> france will not postpone the annual u.n. climate conference set to get underway on monday. but security is high as nearly 150 heads of state and 40,000 others descend on paris. president obama is due to arrive tomorrow. and since the deadly attacks two weeks ago, france has denied entry to nearly 1,000 people deemed to be security risks. france says there are close to 15,000 officers stationed along the borders. public demonstrations surrounding the climate conference have also been banned for security reasons. >>> and turkey's president says he hopes to talk with russian president putin at the paris climate conference. he said today that he does not want tensions to escalate. but stopped short of apologizing for this week's shootdown of a russian war plane. he says, quote, we wouldn't have wished this to happen, but unfortunately, it did. russia and turkey sharply disagree on whether the russian plane was in turkish air space when it was shot down. and today, russia announced it's enforcing economic restrictions against turkey. >>> and also in turkey to

the pipeline. mastermind, as police carry out dozens of raids across france and belgium where the attacks were apparently organized, we're learning the man suspected of planning the paris massacres may be in syria, a close associate of the isis leader. and slamming the door, republican presidential candidates called for blocking syrian refugees and more than a dozen governors now say their states won't accept them. president obama says slamming the door is un-american. he says it's a betrayal of the country's values. we want to welcome our viewers in the united states and around the world. i'm wolf blitzer. you're in "the situation room." >>> this is cnn breaking news. >> our breaking news, an urgent hunt is underway right now for a surviving suspect in the paris massacres along with those who planned and facilitated the attacks. the suspected eighth terrorist managed to escape the security net before authorities realized who he was. he's on the loose right now is considered very dangerous. there have been more than 150 raids across france and in belgium along with multiple arrest

special coverage of the horrific attacks on france ahead. take a look at this. these are french police officers who are shooting with terrorists last night terrorists, who are now claiming to be isis militants. this video taken outside the concert hall, provided to us by a french publication. one of several deadly attacks that rolled across this city in a wave last night. what turned out to be six is coordinated attacks, shootings and bombings that have gripped this city and its people with fear. 129 souls murdered. more than 350 others wounded. 99 in critical condition at this hour. at least seven terrorists went on these killing spraoes at six different sites, the deadliest massacre at the concert hall where we are standing in front of them. some of them lined up and executed at random. some of them at point-blank range. the search for any accomplices has spread far beyond france into belgium and the suburbs of brusse brussels. they have made several arrests in belgium alone. u.s. secretary of state john kerry calling it the embodiment of of evil. pope francis saying the attacks were

france to talk to president putin in paris to get a conversation going. he wants to speak to president putin in paris. they're all meeting for cop21 this weekend. he wants an opportunity to speak to president putin. i asked him, have you spoken to him on the phone? he said i tried to call him. he wouldn't take my call. >> how about that? becky anderson, we're waiting to hear from both hollande and putin. you have one piece of this story. we wait for putin's response. thank you so much, in turkey tonight for us. meantime, you have british prime minister david cameron making a direct appeal today to lawmakers in his nation to join the air strikes against isis and syria. his big push is coming three days after he met with the french president, francois hollande. after the terrorist attacks in paris, the time to act is not and not to stand by and wait for a regime change in syria. cameron says britain owes it to the united states, to the french to intervene. >> my first responsibility as prime minister and our first job in this house is to keep the british people safe. we have th

bother to issue demands. france's president has scored friday's attack an act of war. they were worse. war has a goal. it's fight by soldiers against violence. this is violence. that doesn't answer the question what to do. in the wake of the attacks people rightly ask what could france have done better? what could the united states have done better? people are offering up various solutions regarding borders, visa's police procedures and the battle against iraq and syria. would this really have prevented these kinds of attacks. france already has in place very tough anti-terrorism policies at home. the united states has spent $5 billion and launched over 8,000 air strikes against isis. would more strikes have resulted in fewer terrorist responses by i isis? would the vary policis people have implicated have stopped the paris attacks? we don't know the details but they appeared to have been carried out by seven or eight people armed with weapons that are easily obtainable anywhere in the world, coordinated in the sense they all attacked at the same time. they chose soft targets th

, disconnected young muslims across the middle east. even in countries like france and germany. >> in islam in syria, i originally come from canada. >> i'm thinking i'm still dreaming, feeling like i'm still dreaming and thinking i'm in the dream world. you have to be here to understand what i'm saying. >> and of course isis also manipulates us, television news. they put their videos online, we put them on television. in a bizarre twist, isis turns around and makes clever use of what it sees on tv. this video is called victory in khobani, while mocking president obama and other western leaders. >> first of all rg there's no military solution to isil, military only solution, okay. >> the angry rhetoric of cable news fits right into the script. >> even with troops on the ground we've proven we cannot defeat these people. we are so incompetent in terms of conducting foreign policy and in terms of conducting military operations. >> cnn makes an occasional appearance. >> enter the city -- >> but fox news is a favorite of isis with kmeptators who demand boots on the ground, playing into isis' dreams

, the threat level is still incredibly high there in france. max, it's just past 7:00 in the morning monday where you are. i got to ask you, as the workweek begins, what's the mood like there in paris? >> well, it's interesting. people are just sort of getting up and starting to go back to work. i think today is going to be a very interesting test really. it is the day where everyone is expected to go back to work and back to school. there's a real sense of defiance that must carry on and people very much of the intention to live their normal lives. they're not going to succumb to the fear that isis are trying to spread in this city. but you cannot get away from the fact that there are armed soldiers on the streets. and many more police, 100,000 police have been deployed across france. so that is there. with the exception tans it needs to be there and children are going to have their bags checked shs isha, in school today. they're going to be asked to not gather in groups. when they want to smoke, smoke away from buildings. parents being asked to drop their kids off at school, not to
