Charlie hebdo attacks. The scene right there. Terry moran in london has t latest. Reporter good morning, gege. Heres what were hearing, t late from the french government, a spokesman confirming the following that at around noon paris time, about an hour or so ago a man did try to enter a Police Station up in the 18 arrondissement not far from sacre coeueur. He was brandishing a knife and shouted allahu akbar and police took action and fired shots then took him down. He was at the very least very seveverely inred. We do not h have confirmation of reports he has been killed but they certainly took him down. And right now, as you can see in those pictures they have cleared out that area. There is a bomom disisposal unit on that location right now because there is some sense that he was wearing a device, perhaps a suicide vest.

You cant handle the truth. Reporter truth is, you have 1 in 29 million. Oy one number isoing to win. Its right here. Repeporter there have been no winners for 18 drawings since november 4th s how should you pick your winning numbers . 77 of the winners come from the computer so dont argueith success. Reporter some perspective. 70 to 80 winne but thats how 70 to 80 choose tir numbers any way so directly proportional so the 675 million soundsig, if you take the cash option that will get down maybe 150 to 200 million.
