That everything will be done so that we can open it as extensively as possible. The level 4 emergency status here in brussels means that an attack is being viewed as imminent.

French police say they now have an explosive belt that could be linked to the paris attacks and possibly to the fugitive salah abdeslam. It was discovered today by a street cleaner in a pile of rubble. The belt also contained the same explosives used in the deadly blasts. The news comes as the french president begins a series of meetings with world leaders, seeking support from i. S. I. L. More from andrew simmons. In position and operational, the Charles De Gaulle air craforaircraftcarrier. The first attacks were in iraq. The action coincide wednesday Francois Hollande meeting u. K. Prime minister david cameron. The meeting began with a solemn moment. At the bataclan. Each of them paid homage to 130 dead by laying a single rose. Cameron is promising more military support, to extend british air strikes onto i. S. I. L. Into syria. Later this week i will set before parliament our comprehensive strategy for tackling i. S. I. L. I support the action president hollande has done to attack i. S. I. L. And it is my opinion that britain should do too. Translator we are convinced to attack i. S. I. L. In syria our Aircraft Carrier has been mandated to strike and strike hard against i. S. I. L. France isnt just looking for military support. It wants to bolster agreements to improve military cooperation and impose more border checks within the eu. Francois hollande finds his popularity rising after a week of trauma and 130 lives lost in the paris attacks. More than 90 support his actions so far. The hollande drvcameron meetind their simple gesture of a single rose, starts a hard week, support for war against i. S. I. L. In syria. But france cant go it alone. On tuesday, hollande will meet with barack obama in washington. Theyll review the military options against i. S. I. L. And talk of russian involvement. The ufs presiden u. S. President s russian counterpart Vladimir Putin appear to have broken some ice between them at the g20 meeting earlier this month. There will be a hope for a grand coalition with russia and an effort to secure a deal with putin. Hollande will also meet germanys chancellor angela merkel, hell no doubt consult her on the prospect of having putin on board. Heavily supporting bashar alassad, with his own air strikes is going to want concessions. Hes likely to demand the lifting of sanctions for his actions in ukraine and crimea. The completion of the first gaulle. For now, the france is supporting its president s actions with high Approval Ratings but no one can be sure when the suffering will end. Back at the bataclan where the stage doors remain closed where so many young people died ten days ago theres still a sense of disbelief. Andrew simmons, al jazeera, paris. Phillip la core is a Foreign Policy fellow at the brookings institution. Joins us from washington. Philippe, have good to have you. After the paris attacks. Could we see some cracks agoing form tomorrow between president obama and hollande . Because reports say that french officials are increasingly concerned that the u. S. Does not have a Strong Enough strategy to defeat i. S. I. L. Well, at the moment your report mentioned that the Charles De Gaulle Aircraft Carrier was on site and its actually the only western Aircraft Carrier operating in the region. So thats how the mirage jet fighters have been striking i. S. I. L. In syria. Tomorrow, the french president and the american president will be talking about three things. The first is the future of syria which is i think the priority. And the vienna talks as well as a possible cooperation, stronger cooperation and ogrand alliance. The second thing would be russia. And you also alluded to that. And the role of russia in that mechanism. And perhaps the third would be an alliance in counterterrorism. So of course the three subjects are sort of implicated. But at the moment i think the purpose of this week is to gather as much support as possible from world leaders. But what about these reports that there is growing frustration in france among french officials that the u. S. Believes the world can wait for local Ground Forces in syria and iraq to defeat i. S. I. L. And that hollande may respond to that frustration by pushing president obama to ask for more american combat troops . Well, i dont believe there will be Ground Troops in syria and i dont believe thats what will be on the agenda tomorrow. Because thats just not feasible. What could be done is perhaps more american strikes. But as you know, there have been thousands of american strikes already in syria. And not to mention iraq. And theyve only been hundreds of french strikes. And hopefully, there will be, you know other countries involved. So what we can discuss really is on the diplomatic front, whats going to happen to syria as ocountry. But of course there are disagreements. Arent there . Because is there another possible crack in the u. S. France relationship because of russia and what russias roles should be . You said its one of the three things theyll be focused on tomorrow. There is fear that putin is trying to trade russian action against i. S. I. L. For frances backing or reducing or ending the sanctions over ukraine and france certainly has economic interests as well because it does a lot of business with russia and its lost a lot of that business because of the sanctions. Well as you know france decided not to sell its mistral ships to russia last year. The ships went on to be sold to egypt in the end and there is a relationship between france and russia and there is a rim between russia and the rest of the world. I believe washington and moscow are having a dialogue about syria. Just because everybody sob the ground, you know, at some is on the ground you know at some level. There is no seclusion to russia, the only situation is that president putin is adamant that assad should be part of the picture. In iran where he met with iranian leaders and the grand ayatollah said the same thing. Final question for you. Do you think that these meetings will result in greater intelligence cooperation . Because many do believe that these attacks in paris and other attacks might be prevented if all the parties involved share intelligence more effectively . Well, you know i would probably agree with that. I think the french and the americans are already very close. France is considered americas oldest ally and certainly a close partner in many defense operations. So i believe they will be discussions about this, not only between the two president s, but also, between other officials, the defense ints ins, the foreign minister he that are also coming to washington and meanwhile, president hollande will be in moscow the day after. So i believe this is going to be an important week for diplomatic handling of the situation. All right, philippe la cour of brookings, appreciate you coming. Possible terrorist activity overseas, the department cites, people should be especially vigilant when attending large public gatherings including at stadiums and theaters. The alert will remain in effect for three months. A former religious advisor to osama bin laden, joins a anchor us of pluz limbs who say i. S. I. L. Is violating the principles of islam. He also criticized bin laden. I said what i. S. I. L. Or al qaeda did in terms of killing innocent civilians is condemned by islamic law is morally not even expedient in terms of how it impacts our causes. Varl, we condemn by supporting israel and turning a blind eye to its crimes, and western killings of civilians and innocent people in syria and iraq and in every place. And the western support for corruption regimes and western support for counterrevolutions in the arab spring and what they have done in their long history full of enemyity and conspiracy against the muslim world.

And later the growing backlash against refugees in germany. Argentina has elected its first conservative president in more than a decade. Mauricio macri received slightly more than half the votes. As teresa vo says, macri is set to revive the economy. The impossible was possible says ma kris saturday night when he became the elected president of argentina. One month ago his chances were slim against are david scioli. But he defeated Cristina Kirchners hand picked replacement. I ask you, dont abandon me, lets continue that on december 10th the wonderful stage of argentina began its here its now lets go argentina, lets go argentina. Its heres, its now. And his supporters believe him. All of them say theyre ready to work for argentina. We had the support of the people, we need to start acting and not complain so we can really change this country. Celebrations continued until late at night. The Election Results show that a majority in argentina voted for change. These people that you can see mind behind my are not only celebrating Mauricio Macris victory but 12 years of kirchnerism, the situation that they created in 2003. Deep involvement in the economy and many credited of pulling many arnl aguer tinnians argent. They decide to throw everything out of the window. Local media is Brain Washing people. Macri beat scioli by only three points. Depletion of the source of the central bank, macroeconomic policy especially throughout the last two years has been deficient. The economy has been stagnant for four years. So theres a change in the microeconomic regime coming and it will be a pretty difficult to manage this situation without it having an impact on inflation. Sunday was a historic day in argentina, the first time in 12 years that the people have demanded change. Teresa vo, al jazeera, buenos aires. On his first day as president elect of argentina, macri has called for withdrawal from the macri soeur. At his victory celebration macri are brought onto the stage the wife of leopoldo lopez, polls though a significant lead in decembers election which along with argentina can shift to the right in politics. Joins us from buenos aires flit the founder of the bubble, a news website. Arian good to see you. This was the first Runoff Election in argentina raps history and not only was the runoff expected, before the first round of voting few thought it could possibly happen. It was a tight vote but still sends a strong message reflecting the socialist viewpoint of rch c cristina kirr and her husband who preceded her. Yes it does shows that argentina continues to be a highly polarized country. Macri in fact did defeat scioli, you about three points. This shows that he may be naughted on december 10, he will binaugurated on december 10th, but it is going to be hard. Kirchnerism is not going away, the party is still there. So hes going to have to reach across the aisle and try to bring those two sides together if he wants to be able to govern correctly. Right, he faces 30 inflation, a government that cant get International Financing because it defaulted in 2001. Very low financial reserves, he says hes planning to have six different cabinet miptses just to deal with the economy. He wont have a majority in congress. Well your guess is as good as mine, for the last few months since campaignings became very, very important before the election, the big question both the scioli camp and the macri camp is whats going to happen to the economy. The economy is in a very, very bad shape. What would each candidate do to fix it . The macri and scioli camp were very, very vague in explaining their plans to fix it. Even today when he offered his First Press Conference as president elect, when he was asked what he was going to do, obviously his first problem, first thing he was going to tackle was inflation. He says he has no idea how to fix it until he takes office and so far everything he said about fixing the economy has 92nd been very clear. And he is probably going to have to make cuts. Printing money to do so. Could he face a backlash whether he faces cuts, getting the budget under control . Well, that is definitely going to happen. In his favor he is now running his party, cambiemos is running both the city of buenos aires and the province of buenos aires, and he has support of cordoba, he is going to try to come together with the governors of those provinces to try to keep the population calm and ask them for a little bit of patience. There is a devaluation coming, everyone knows that, even if scioli won. And the question is how are they going to take it. Kirchners concentrating power in the presidency and individual and press freedoms . Its a good question. I would say that a large percentage of the people who voted for macri were voting against cristina and that is the truth. People were tired exhausted of her tone her constant appearances on television her fingerpointing and she was always accusing the other side of conspiring against her. Yes, there is a lot of merit to macris election but a lot of people were voting for change because they were tired of president Cristina Kirchner going on television every day and yelling at pretty much everyone. It was a very, very large factor. Cristina was a large factor in having macri elected last night. Appreciate your time, thank you.
