And this conference is an act against terror. We stand here in solidaire not om to deliver justice to those terrorist networks responsible for the attacks, but to protect the people, and uphold the enduring values that keep us strong, and keep us free. We salute the people of paris for insisting this crucial conference go on. An act of defiance that proves that nothing will deter us from building the future for our children. What greater rejection than those who would tear down our world than marshaling our best effort efforts to save it. All right. Lets get some more now on what is going on in par
