continued to ripple through france. six years on, what will it mean to see salah abdeslam standing in the dock? you know, you just imagine the devil. you just imagine somebody with a strong intellectual. maybe. maybe i m wrong. but people will think, that s this kind of man who have done so awful things? stephane says he doesn t need to see the key defendant but he wants abdeslam to see him. after six years, it s very important for me to face him and to face the other and to say, ok, look at me, i m there, i m alive. my son is not there but through me, he s still here, we are still standing. you didn t win. for stephane, this trial marks the moment when national trauma becomes national history. easierfor a nation to move on, he says, than for him. lucy williamson, bbc news, paris.
here in the court room is very nice but you don t know it is like back there. i haven t said anything for six years because of the sale treatment because i know when i die i will be reborn and you will face a day of reckoning. directing that at the court at which the president said salah abelslam this is a court of law that ecclesiastical tribunal. it gives you a kind of flavour between the salah abelslam, the key defendant and the court. it s going to be a very long process, this trial. and what we will see over the next few days is not much we can report on because it will be procedure and all the parties being given their accounts later on. we are in for the long haul here but it s already interesting to see how salah abdelslam, this key defendant seems to be shaping up as someone who is prepared to take on the court and very much defend his role as a soldier of islamic state. i and very much defend his role as a soldier of islamic state. soldier of islamic state. i think ou are so
national memory, in archive. and thatis national memory, in archive. and that is why it so long. and that is why it s going to be such an important and exhausting trial to follow. and very emotional for those who take part. those of take part and deliver their memories will be doing it face to face with people like salah abdelslam who they believed were responsible for the suffering they ve been through. thank you very much. the headlines on bbc news. mps are due to vote on the government s controversial plan to raise national insurance to fund the nhs and social care. this is the scene in the house of commons. the government has been defending the plan. the biggest ever terror trial in france gets under way. 130 people were killed in coordinated islamist attacks in 2015. more than a thousand people have crossed the channel in small boats this week. the home secretary is to hold talks with her french counterpart.
