We have the president of the European Center for Information Police and security. For being with us. We have another French National here who has attacked his own country. The question is, why wasnt he picked up before he managed to join that killing spree in november . I think it is important to understand that it is very difficult for the secret services to determine exactly who is everybody involved in a specific attack, but there is a very good question the same time, a question that needs proper scrutiny and answers. Why wasnt this person picked up . We can only speculate at this moment. Nobody can really say for sure why they didnt pick him up. Was he in the system . Was he in any Information System . Im not sure that he was. System, was the information shared . That needs to be questioned. It is the same question we asked after the Charlie Hebdo attacks in january. The government to take action. They spend a lot more public money on security. They have brought in certain law changes, yet it doesnt seem to have made a difference. 130 People Killed in november killed in november.

Hundreds of syrian antiregime fighters are leaving the city of homs, taking their families and some them their weapons with them some of their weapons with them. This is part of a rare truce in conflict. Yearold it comes after a major ground offensive by the syrian army to the north of homs. The yuan is presiding the u. N. Is presiding over the implementation of the deal im a which was agreed to directly between the syrian side the was agreed to directly between the syrian sides. Homs is now being handed over to the Syrian Government. Can you tell us a bit more about what this involves and how it all came about . Adam it is just this last remaining suburb of homs that is being handed over, and one of the key points here is that this agreement was actually brokered between syrians luckily on the ground. Quite aside from any of the other internationally organized peace talks that are taking place. The result of that is that those fighters, the ones who carried carry on with their , they will be able to carry on fighting. They are going with some family members and civilian supporters, about 2000 people in total. Many others are staying behind and laying their weapons down. They will stay in the region. A show of good faith towards the opposition, the government has agreed that, when it does deploy Security Forces to the area, it will be Police Rather than the army. At onely, with homs point being referred to as the cradle of the revolution or the capital of the revolution, this will obviously boast assads government. Catherine is it possible that this kind of truce deal could happen in other cities and areas of syria as well . Adam it absolutely is. In fact, it has happened elsewhere. Quite a few examples of that having been the case. Perhaps not as significantly as here in homs. This is something we have talked about a lot in the past, the very fractured nature of the opposition. Take anys that, if you kind of topdown approach to peace initiatives, it is very difficult to find any coherence between the different groups and to get them to agree, as is probably being found out right now in riyadh. Some of these opposition groups are locally based, protecting just the area they are from. They wouldnt consider fighting elsewhere. They dont feel beholden to any other external leadership. Themder to get buyin from in any larger peace plans, you would have to negotiate, to some extent, at their groundlevel. And the other thing is that even when these local troops dont truces last, they can provide windows for aid workers to provide assistance and medical care to people. And can provide relief deliver a more tangible piece on the ground. Catherine thank you for giving me all those details, adam, reporting from beirut in lebanon.
