tonight, paris is fearful, and on high alert. katya adler, bbc news, paris. france's president, francois hollande, has spoken out about the attack. he confirmed that one police officer and the attacker were killed. a passerby was also injured. he was a little of what he said. translation: we are convinced that the investigations will show that this attack was terrorist in nature. the anti— terror group has been deployed and it will lead the inquiry. it will establish the motivation of the attack and whether anyone else was involved. i have a meeting tomorrow at eight a.m.. we have done everything to mobilise our police and military appropriate to the circumstances. this has been the case for several months. our vigilance will be of the highest order, in particular with regard to the forthcoming election. but every one will understand that at this time, my thoughts are with the family of the police officer who was killed. and also the loved ones of the wounded officers. a national commemoration will be arranged for this police officer, who was the victim of

every time there has been an attack in paris over the last couple of yea rs, in paris over the last couple of years, that has come to the forefront of people's minds. i have not been able to monitor that particular debate in the minutes after we had the first reports, i looked at the tv and saw the series of interviews continuing. but even then, even beforehand, one i was watching the candidates, one of them, marine le pen, raised of her own accord the problem of terrorism. it is on the minds and they have to react quickly to this. we are hearing more detail again by the reuters news agency quoting a eyewitness saying a man got out of the car on the champs elysees and began shooting with a kalashnikov, and this is when police officers we re and this is when police officers were hit. the interior ministry also telling reuters the one officer has died and two have been injured. james ray maltz is our correspondence in paris, but while we have on the line, i am going to speak to a journalist well known to us speak to a journalist well known to us here on the bbc news channel who lives on the

back to james reynolds in paris. just for people joining us are we certain that one police officer has lost their life? off that is what the authorities say at this stage. in terms of what the authorities are saying, this is what they are broadcasting to the media, to the people in france. the picture thatis to the people in france. the picture that is being painted by the french interior ministry spokesperson is that there was a shooting near the champs—elysees, targeting lease officers, that needs to be confirmed, one officer was killed, we understand from broad reports broadcast on french tv that the attacker was killed. recent reports suggest that the attacker was known at the police. that could be very significant in helping police analyse the motivation and the network, if any, analyse the motivation and the network, ifany, of analyse the motivation and the network, if any, of the attacker. james, for the moment, thank you. we will come back to you in the next few minutes on outside source. that has been poli

very many people when they come to paris, you cannot visit paris without visiting the tenth two. one side, you get the arc de triomphe, and the other side, the louvre museum. it is the centre of the city. that has been a particular worry for the authorities in recent yea rs, worry for the authorities in recent years, bearing this may be a target. there were so many police when i was out earlier on the street. one thing we will have to look at in the next few minutes and hours when we get the timetable, chronology, is to see how quickly police might have been able to respond because they would have been very close by and indeed might have been targeted because they were on the street. you mention how many police were on the street. there are even more on the champs elysees and around the ark to triomphe. we can see the in the protective clothing, they are armed, a great deal of activity, police vehicles coming and going. police sources also telling reuters that at least two attackers were involved in this paris shooting, and as we are hearing, one of them has been killed. james, o

tonight, paris is fearful, and on high alert. katya adler, bbc news, paris. moments after the shooting, reporters at the scene were able to speak to reporters at the scene were able to speakto an reporters at the scene were able to speak to an eyewitness, who said that he saw the attack unfolds. he described how he saw the gunmen use what he thought was a kalashnikov. this is what he said. translation: so i came out and was walking on the pavement. and there was a policeman ban and a man came along in an old grey audi. he parked behind the van and get out with a kalashnikov. i had six gunshots. i thought they were fireworks. we looked down the road and there was no one. he was hidden behind the van, shooting at the police. i think he hit one. as soon as the police got out of the van, he fell. as soon as we saw that, we ran back inside. we hid and when up to the first floor, and we saw shoot him. francois hollande has spoken about the attack. he confirmed that in addition to a police officer and attacker being killed, two other police officers were injured. he

it is a normal seen on this street market in paris. an affluent this street market in paris. an afflu e nt area this street market in paris. an affluent area of the capital. the background is anything but normal, front is under a state of emergency and there was a terror attack on thursday night which left a policeman dead. how much is all that weighing on voters minds as they prepared to cast their ballots tomorrow? translation: the attack hasn't changed anything for me. we have already taken it into account. it's more of the same. translation: i have had the same idea about voting since childhood, same as my parents, we have never changed. i'm absolutely certain. everyone is voting. translation: even if you are not that enthusiastic about any one candidate, you have to go and vote. it is your duty a citizen. so the scene here at least is much what france is known best for, buying good food, sitting outside cafes, drinking coffee, wine and beer but the run—up to this election has been extraordinary, dramatic and unpredictable so is absolutely no way of knowing what the out

they'll be in paris. this comes just weeks after the attack in london that happened in the heart of london in westminister and that included people from overseas, including one american. so the kind of attack like this, honestly, if that is what it turns out to be, is not just aimed at the french. it is aimed at many, many people who will be in paris to enjoy paris in the spring time. it will be very nervous hours ahead for the french authorities. again if these reports from roiters that we're getting turn out to be correct, one possibility is that the police themselves were deliberately targeted here, rather than civilians making their way around the french capitol. if that is is the case, many police officers are armed and it does appear that there was fire from the french police that has killed at leaf ost one person suspected of attack the police. it is possible that this is an incident that was already under control. it is possible. we do not know. if it is the case that there were two attacrs involv

back to paris. we're doing fun pages with wilfred in paris today. >> hi, sara, yes, indeed. the extraordinary thing of all of the front pages is the unity with who they feature on the front page. the parisienne says macron. now the front-runner for the french presidency, similar, a full-page picture of mr. macron, on the bottom, the subtitle says "the appeals in order to block the national front are multiplying." of course, the story overnight, why markets are rallying so clearly because they believe there will be unity amongst all the non-le pen voters. another paper leads with a big picture of mr. macron. saying mr. macron leads in front of le pen as we head into the final round. only the right ring, le figaro has a balanced photograph on the front page of the two front-runners. it's titled underneath saying the right is k.o.'d. of course, it refers to the traditional center ground right. as you said, mike, the reaction, the euro, the banks seeing the most, surging up 10%. not so much about the fear that you mentioned earlier about jean-luc melenchon getting in. but just t

tonight, paris is fearful, and on high alert. katya adler, bbc news, paris. the french interior spokesman, pierre—henry brandet, gave reporters this update. translation: just before 9pm in front of number 102 on the champs elysee, vehicle stop next to a police vehicle which was carrying out public order and traffic duties, working under the direction of the prefecture of police. this vehicle was stationary with operatives inside and also some police officers we re inside and also some police officers were carrying out duties on the pavement nearby. a manjumped out of the vehicle and opened fire on the police vehicle, fatally windy one officer from the police vehicle, fatally windy one officerfrom the parisien police force. the man then tried to run onto the pavement. he went to other officers. the two officers that were wounded and other nearby officers returned fire. the attacker was killed. —— wounding. the surrounding area was locked down immediately. emergency response units were deployed to secure the zone. as for the attack of‘s identity, that h

champs elysees in paris. certainly an area that is typically very busy with people shopping and eating and enjoying the sights. >> and as the investigation unfolds i'm curious to see if it was law enforcement who was targeted in this particular instance or maybe they came across someone that appeared to be suspicious. there is a report that possibly a bystander was hit by gunfire there in paris. so again, investigators will have to determine exactly the motive for this particular crime there in france. >> that's right. but again what we do know now is that one police officer has been shot and killed. another has been injured in an attack. the person believed to be the attacker has been taken down by police and is not longer a threat himself. have a full update today on the four on two. per roll bounty is more absorbent, so the roll can last 50% longer than the leading ordinary brand. so you get more "life" per roll. bounty, the quicker picker upper announcer: today -- dr. oz: i love this project. oprah winfre

the irish times reporting on the paris attacks saying islamic state claims the paris gun attack. as you said, a lot of these newspapers did not have all the details when they went to print. we have seen the us move against it oi'i we have seen the us move against it on the ground as well as the assad regime, russians cornering them in raqqa, but they have still claimed this attack. you never quite know how much they are really in control of the attack. they did claim it very quickly, only about two hours after and they did name him. but we don't know if that is his name. and whether he is a french or belgian national. it was interesting what you are saying aaron, the focus on the two candidates in the french presidential election, you are correct, this will play right into the hands of some candidates, particularly the board of years. what would a marine le pen or a melenchon victory mean for people? melenchon victory mean for people? melenchon wants to renegotiate many central tenets of the eu, if he doesn't get what he wants, he said he would be a supporter of leaving the eu. p

welcome back to paris. thank you. welcome back to paris. this is a country that is waking up after really seismic political events last night. the main parties, the two main parties, the centre—right anti— socialists, are off the map for the selection. two candidates without that traditional background are now in the running. 0ne traditional background are now in the running. one of them will be french president. let's gets a fresh and on this. agnes, how significant is this for the president francois hollande is significant in that the whole political class is likely to be renewed in june. whole political class is likely to be renewed injune. because after the presidential election, course, the presidential election, course, the french need to give a majority to their president. that is how it works. and usually, the french are given the majority. —— had given a majority. but if it is emmanuel macron, he doesn't have that, because you do credit this party a few months ago. now there is agitation in
