this is a fox news alert back here live again in paris. the french president?z fran sway hollande. france strikes back deadly terrorist attacks. how are they getting ready for the possibility of more attacks? france 24 anchor marcus carlson live with me tonight in paris as well. marcus, good evening to you. good evening. give our let s talk about hollande in a second here who is under his own set of challenges in a significant way. give us a sense and our viewers at home about the conversations that french people are having tonight. you get the sense at this stage that the city is down perhaps but certainly not out. you are getting a sense that life is daunting to return once again to the streets of paris. during the weekend it was a little bit subdued. we didn t sees a many people as you would on any normal weekend out and about. but perhaps a little bit more we saw a little bit more people on sunday and today on monday it feels as if we are going back to business so to speak.
actually had a chance to catch him. they actually stopped him at the border and had a chance to detain him and somehow word didn t reach. perhaps they will get to him very soon because his picture is on the front page of every newspaper in this country. quickly, a the love the give and take here in france is what do you do about freedom and civil liberties and also trying to crack down in a country, again where the president said we are at war. you mentioned francois hollande the french president who asked to extend the three more months that would give the military and police extra powers and searches and arrests. the same thing happened after 9/11. the u.s. government got a lot more power to investigate, to snoop, if you will, on electronic communications to try and determine who might be involved in plotting more attacks and try to stop those attacks before they happen. they have been very successful at it the french may be realizing we need these kind of powers here as well bec
significant issue about concern and freedom of passage for those that want to do harm. it s going to be a very important story in this debate as we go forward, dana. a question for you about the 160 raids that took place overnight do they have any prior of the intel. could any of those raids been done prior to the attacks? that s a great question and frankly the french investigators have not revealed that answer as of now. one must assume if they have surveillance on what they would consider a hot suspect or a hot possibility that they have been watching it for some time. the french president also is making a lot of proposals now, too about putting them in certain categories under surveillance that would give you a degree of potential right on the verge of perhaps carrying out an attack and at that point,
what appear to be a isis video. the fbiened the department still say at this point they see no specific or credible credit threat to the nights, dana. one of them there at the white house is there any sense that there is an emergency meeting? nirn meeting in the white house situation room to try to convene the national security council to talk about what they might do in the wake of these attacks? so many of the president s key national security aids like ben rhodes, for example, are traveling with the president. he is now in manila in the philippines for a regional summit. one striking thing that the president said in the news conference today he said he gets together with the national top secure to review. it struck me and in our day and age that only happens every few weeks. one would expect at least in this climate that it would be more frequent than that.
muslims have opened up again. schools have opened up again so on and so forth. the monument has been draped throughout the day and pretty remarkable and impressive site to see. if you were to come just to this part of paris, you would think things were pretty normal. do you have a sense of what investigations is doing now in other parts of paris, and other parts of the country, perhaps on the borders? well, we know that police are at this stage they are racing to find who they believe could be the eighth suspect or the eighth gunman or perpetrator who took part in theew attacks on friday night. so they re searching for this 6-year-old man who was born here in france but who has been living in belgium. that to some extent means that the focus has been on bell yum in the past few hours or so or in the past 24 to 48 hours or so when it comes to that manhunt. that hasn t been lost on anyone here in paris. that is perhaps why we have seen a little bit of a let
