This is the scene live at a Paris Train station, and we are getting pictures now of what is happening there. We know that many Train Lines that come into the french capital have been impacted, in particular one from bordeaux, one from lille, and one from the west as well. That is the latest. In the last few hours, the mayor of a commune in north central france has shed some photographs with the bbc, lets show them to you now.

Has input from Greater Manchester communities, and that has got to the depravity now, so that the full facts can be established and get the full truth of what happened, that is in everyones interests. What people here dont want, and i heard this very clearly in the room this morning, as politicians without possession of the facts exploiting the situation for their own political agenda, with zero regard for the effect on the ground in communities in Greater Manchester.

And one of the Rock And Roll greats, the rolling Stones Drummer Charlie watts dies at the age of 80. Well look back at an extraordinary life. Hello and welcome to the programme.
