NOW CONTINUES WITH PETER. GOODNIGHT. I'LL BE WITH YOU UNTIL 8PM TONIGHT. IT'S THE WORST BLOODSHED THERE SINCE WORLD WAR TWO ` AT LEAST 153 KILLED. THIS IS THE SCENE RIGHT NOW IN PARIS ` A CITY IN LOCKDOWN. IT'S 7 IN THE MORNING THERE, ABOUT NINE HOURS AFTER THE SERIES OF ATTACKS BEGAN. THE KILLING SPREE'S BEING CALLED A MASSACRE AS THEY TOOK PLACE AT UP TO SIX DIFFERENT LOCATIONS. WE'VE PINPOINTED THE MAIN ONES IN THIS MAP ` THE NATIONAL STADIUM, WHERE EXPLOSIONS WERE HEARD OUTSIDE; THE BATACLAN CONCERT HALL, THE SCENE OF A HOSTAGE SIEGE AND UP TO 100 DEATHS; AND THE CAMBODIAN RESTAURANT WHERE THE SHOOTINGS FIRST ERUPTED. WE'VE GOT THE LATEST PICTURES NOW FROM PARIS. THIS REPORT FORM OUR EUROPE CORRESPONDENT, EMMA KEELING. TWO SWAT TEAMS BROUGHT AN END TO THE BLOODY BATACLAN HOSTAGE SIEGE, TOO LATE TO SAVE MORE THAN 100 INNOCENT PEOPLE INSIDE. FOR FRANCE, THE HORROR IS FAR FROM OVER. PARIS REMAINS IN LOCKDOWN AS THE DEATH TOLL RISES ALONG WITH FEARS MORE ATTACKS COULD FOLLOW. THE FRENCH PRESIDENT SPOKE TO THE NATION AS THE ATTACKS CONTINUED. (SPEAKS FRENCH) MY FELLOW COMPATRIOTS, AS I SPEAK, TERRORIST ATTACKS OF UNPRECEDENTED PROPORTIONS ARE UNDERWAY IN THE PARIS AREA. THERE ARE DOZENS KILLED. THERE ARE MANY INJURED. IT IS A HORROR. IN AN UNPRECEDENTED MOVE, FRANCE DECLARED A STATE OF EMERGENCY AND CLOSED ITS BORDERS. (SPEAKS FRENCH) WE HAVE TO ENSURE THAT NO ONE CAN ENTER AND COMMIT ANY ACT. WE MUST ALSO ENSURE THAT THOSE WHO COMMITTED THESE CRIMES ARE EQUALLY APPREHENDED IF THEY WERE TO TRY TO LEAVE THE COUNTRY. THOSE WHO THINK THEY CAN TERRORISE THE PEOPLE OF FRANCE AND THE VALUES THEY STAND FOR ARE WRONG. TERRORIST THREATS AGAINST FRANCE HAVE INTENSIFIED IN RECENT WEEKS, BUT AUTHORITIES AND INTELLIGENCE SERVICES WERE CAUGHT OFF GUARD BY THE WELL-PLANNED SERIES OF ATTACKS ON SOFT TARGETS ON A BUSY FRIDAY NIGHT. 14 DINERS DIED WHEN A BOMB EXPLODED AT THIS CROWDED PARIS RESTAURANT AROUND 10PM. MINUTES LATER, GUNMEN OPENED FIRE AT A NEARBY BAR, KILLING ANOTHER 19. BY 10.30, ANOTHER FOUR WERE DEAD, KILLED IN SUICIDE ATTACKS NEAR ENTRANCES TO THE NATIONAL STADIUM. PRESIDENT HOLLANDE WAS AMONG THE FOOTBALL FANS. AS HE WAS SPIRITED AWAY TO SAFETY, HUNDRED OF DAZED SPECTATORS TOOK REFUGE ON THE PITCH. AT THE SAME TIME, MORE TERRORISTS WIELDING SEMI-AUTOMATICS HAD STORMED THE BATACLAN CONCERT HALL, PACKED WITH FANS WAITING FOR CALIFORNIAN BAND EAGLES OF DEATH METAL. BY 11.35, THE SIEGE WAS OVER, The terrorists were very calm. BY 11.35, THE SIEGE WAS OVER, LEAVING MORE THAN 100 DEAD INSIDE THE BATACLAN, INCLUDING FOUR OF THE TERRORISTS. FRANCE IS VOWING TO AVENGE ITS WORST VIOLENCE SINCE WORLD WAR II. 'WE ARE GOING TO LEAD A WAR WHICH WILL BE PITILESS. 'THEY ARE FACING A UNITED FRANCE, 'A FRANCE THAT IS TOGETHER AND DOES NOT LET ITSELF BE MOVED, 'EVEN IF TODAY WE EXPRESS INFINITE SORROW.' WE'RE GOING TO DO WHATEVER IT TAKES JUMP TO BRING THESE TERRORISTS TO JUSTICE AND GO AFTER ANY TERRORIST NETWORKS THAT GO AFTER OUR PEOPLE. FIGHTING WORDS FROM WORLD LEADERS, BUT STILL IN THE DARK AS TO WHO THEY ARE FIGHTING. EMMA KEELING, ONE NEWS. JOINING ME TONIGHT IS WAIKATO UNIVERSITY INTERNATIONAL LAW PROFESSOR AL GILLESPIE. AL, ISIS HAS REPORTEDLY CLAIMED RESPONSIBILITY. WHY TARGET FRANCE? If they had waited a few more weeks, they would have had the meetings. In five days time, France is about to launch the Charles de Gaulle. There is a meeting of foreign ministers in Vienna. Would that not have been a more high-profile attack point? There is a good chance in Vienna now that Russia and the West and the moderates within Syria can come to some kind of peace plan and then there will be an agreement against Islamic state. It is quite extraordinary the number of high-profile political meetings happening in the next few weeks. The G20 in Turkey next weekend. They try to aim for the event that has less publicity. They have not gone for a high profile target. They have not gone for a parliament. They have gone for civilians. They have attacked cafes, the stadium and the rock concert. THANKS, AL. WE'LL COME BACK TO YOU IN A MOMENT. IF YOU'RE POISED TO GO TO PARIS, THE MESSAGE TONIGHT IS TO RETHINK YOUR TRAVEL PLANS. AUTHORITIES HERE ARE ALSO TRYING TO TRACK DOWN ANY NZERS KNOWN TO BE IN THE FRENCH CAPITAL. AS NEWS OF THE TERROR ATTACKS BROKE, THE MESSAGE TO THE PEOPLE OF PARIS ` STAY INDOORS. ONE THOSE CONFINED TO HER ROOM IS KIWI STUDENT SHANNON GRINTER (18). THE LADY WHO LOOKS AFTER THE APARTMENT RAN UP KNOCKING THE DOOR SAYING, 'DON'T LEAVE. DON'T LEAVE,' AND I WAS LIKE, 'WHAT'S HAPPENING?' AND THEN A FEW MINUTES LATER, SHE WAS LIKE, 'YOU'RE ON LOCKDOWN FOR THE NEXT 24 HOURS 'UNLESS OTHERWISE.' 279 KIWIS ARE REGISTERED AS BEING IN FRANCE. AS OF A SHORT TIME AGO, THE MINISTRY OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS WAS STILL WORKING WITH THEIR FRENCH COUNTERPARTS TO DETERMINE IF ANY OF THOSE OF THOSE WITH THEIR FRENCH COUNTERPARTS TO DETERMINE IF ANY OF THOSE HAVE BEEN HARMED IN THE ATTACKS. THE INFORMATION IS NOT VERY FLUID AT THIS POINT. THERE IS A LOT OF UNACCOUNTED FOR PEOPLE, SO WE'RE NOT IN A POSITION WHERE WE CAN BE ABSOLUTELY SURE THERE ARE NO NZERS INVOLVED. ON THE ADVICE WE'VE HAD SO FAR, THERE'S NONE THAT PRESENT THEMSELVES. THE FRENCH AUTHORITIES SHUT THE BORDERS IN RESPONSE TO THE ATTACK, AND THE MESSAGE TO KIWI TRAVELLERS HEADING TO FRANCE IS TO CONSIDER CHANGING YOUR PLANS. CONTACT THEIR TRAVEL EXPERT AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. AT FLIGHT CENTRE, WE HAVE OUR 24/7 HELPLINE, SO THEY CAN CONTACT US AT ANY TIME OF THE DAY. THE PRIME MINISTER WAS EN ROUTE TO DARWIN AT THE TIME OF THE ATTACKS. HIS FIRST TASK WHEN ARRIVING WAS TO PHONE HIS DAUGHTER, STEPHIE, WHO LIVES IN PARIS. SHE WAS OUT AT A SHOPPING MALL. ONE OF OUR FRIENDS ACTUALLY SAW AN UPDATE ON THE BRITISH MEDIA AND TEXTED MY WIFE, WHO THEN GOT IN CONTACT WITH OUR DAUGHTER, AND MY WIFE JUST RIGHTFULLY ADVISED HER TO GET HOME TO HER APARTMENT AS QUICKLY AS SHE COULD. HUBBUB LIKE OTHER WORLD LEADERS, MR KEY HAS STRONGLY CONDEMNED THE ATTACK. WHO'S RESPONSIBLE FOR THE ATTACKS IS NOT YET CLEAR. MOST LIKELY, IT'S AL QAEDA OR ISLAMIC STATE. THE TWO OF THEM ARE IN A KIND OF COMPETITION NOW FOR WHO CAN DO THE MOST SEVERE ACTS. CHARLIE HEBDO WAS AL QAEDA, BUT MOST TERRORIST INCIDENTS THAT WE'VE SEEN RECENTLY, LIKE, WITH THE RUSSIAN METRO JET IN SINAI ` THAT WAS ISLAMIC STATE RELATED. AND AL GILLESPIE SAYS AS A MEMBER OF THE TEAM HELPING TO FIGHT ISIS, THE ATTACKS IN PARIS COULD HEIGHTEN RISKS HERE TOO. AS WITH ALL OF THESE INCIDENCES THAT THERE WILL BE A RISK. WE'VE GOT TO KEEP THAT RISK IN PROPORTION. IT'S MUCH SMALLER HERE THAN IT IS IN EUROPE, BUT IT IS THERE. FOR FRENCH CITIZENS IN NZ, THEY CAN ONLY WAIT AND WATCH NERVOUSLY. OUR HEART IS WITH THEM. GIVE ALL OUR MORAL SUPPORT. THEY ARE GOING TO GO THROUGH A VERY DIFFICULT TIME. SENTIMENTS FELT BY PEOPLE ALL AROUND THE WORLD TODAY. ONE NEWS POLITICAL EDITOR CORIN DANN JOINS US NOW. JOHN KEY'S EN ROUTE TO VIETNAM. And then he is going on to APEC. The security is ramped up. When you have the likes of President Obama. John key says he plans to continue on, and he believes by not going to these sorts of events that this would send a bad message to the terrorists that they have been successful. He is of the camp that you should push on. The big one is of the climate change event in Paris in two weeks time. John Key plans to go to that. There is symbolism in solidarity. Stephie Key is safe and sound in Paris and will most likely stay there. 249 New Zealanders listed as being in Paris. But surely there are hundreds more. That is right. 279 was the last count I saw. There will be many many more than that. John key even said in his media briefing that if he knew that Stephie had registered on the website. We still have not got word if New Zealanders have been harmed in the attacks. People will have to be patient. It will take some time for French authorities to work through this. Hopefully most New Zealanders will have contacted friends and family in New Zealand to let them know if they are okay. If you are worried about people who have not gotten contact, but it may take some days to work out exactly what is happening LET'S NOW UPDATE THE MAIN POINTS FROM THE PARIS NIGHT OF TERROR. THE DEATH TOLL'S AT LEAST 153. 100 HUNDRED OF THOSE ARE FROM A ROCK CONCERT AT THE BATACLAN MUSIC HALL. 100 OF THOSE ARE FROM A ROCK CONCERT AT THE BATACLAN MUSIC HALL. THERE WERE UP TO FIVE OTHER ATTACKS, INCLUDING AN APPARENT DOUBLE SUICIDE BOMBING AT THE NATIONAL STADIUM. PRESIDENT FRANCOIS HOLLANDE WAS THERE, WATCHING A FOOTBALL FRIENDLY. HE'S DECLARED A NATIONWIDE STATE OF EMERGENCY. THERE'S BEEN NO CLAIM OF RESPONSIBILITY, BUT SECURITY EXPERTS ARE POINTING TO ISLAMIST MILITANTS. LET'S GO BACK TO AL GILLESPE. Let us talk about the risk to various countries around the world. What about the risk in New Zealand? There is a risk, but you have to keep it in proportion. Everyone thought that Spain would be the target or Italy would be the target. Ironically the safest country at the moment is the United States. What about in Australia? What we have seen in some countries is not so much the organised terror which has gone on in Paris at the moment, but we have seen the lone wolf type of situations where people have a knife or a car or a gun and do terrible things. Will be intelligence services be on extra high alert? We would expect extra high alert. Copycat incidences are high. People become aware of what they could do to others and they seek notoriety. The security services had to be on much higher alert. JOURNALIST JULIEN PEARCE WAS AT A CONCERT AT THE BATACLAN VENUE AT THE TIME AND MANAGED TO ESCAPE AFTER THE SHOOTING STARTED, STEALING AWAY WHEN THE GUNMEN RELOADED THEIR WEAPONS. THE TERRORISTS SHOT AT US FOR 10 TO 15 MINUTES. IT WAS A BLOODBATH. THEY SHOT AT US MULTIPLE TIMES. THEY RELOADED. I JUST WAITED FOR THE TIME THEY RELOADED THE ROUNDS TO CLIMB OUT OF THE SCENE AND TO HIDE BEHIND IT. I TRIED TO HELP A FEW PEOPLE AROUND ME. IT WAS SHOCKING. THERE WAS A LOT OF PANIC. THEY SHOT AT US FOR 10-15 MINUTES. IT WAS VERY LONG. IT IS NOT A HUGE CONCERT ROOM. 1000 PEOPLE CAN GATHER IN IT. IT WAS OVERCROWDED. IT WAS SOLD OUT. SO IT WAS VERY EASY FOR THEM. GRN CORRESPONDENT DEON DE LANGE IS IN PARIS AND JOINS US BY PHONE NOW. It has just gone seven in the morning. Can you update us on the situation? Has it dawned quiet? Coffee shops are starting to open to the dreadful news. Slowly but surely, eyewitness accounts are starting to emerge. The Bataclan Theatre was not far from the brazen attack in January on Charlie Hebdo. According to accounts from those who survived in the theatre, those who died were systematically executed. At the football match, Francois Hollande was evacuated. There were a few explosions. At Cambodian restaurant, a killer in black calmly and surely shot people. Then he turned his aim to vehicles that were passing by and firing indiscriminately at vehicles that were passing by. Can you tell us about how difficult it is to get around Paris? Is the metro running again? At the moment, the metro is not running. I am close to the theatre. The metro here is not running at all. I am not sure about further areas of Paris. The mayor of Paris has asked citizens to stay indoors. Public facilities will be closed today. An appeal for citizens to try and stay indoors and allow the security forces to do the job. How did people get back to where they lived on Friday night? I imagine there was a huge crowd at the football match. There was a huge crowd. You need to take a train back into the city and it took a long time for people to find their way back. Taxi services here in Paris switched off their availability lights and were offering free transport to people. THANK YOU. THAT'S GRN CORRESPONDENT DEON DE LANGE IN PARIS.

THERE ARE CURRENTLY 249 NZERS REGISTERED ON SAFETRAVEL AS BEING IN FRANCE. THE OFFICIAL ADVICE IS ` IF YOU HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO REACH A FAMILY MEMBER IN PARIS DIRECTLY, YOU CAN CONTACT THE MINISTRY OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS AND TRADE ON 04 439 8000. WE'VE BEEN TALKING TO A NUMBER OF NZERS WHO ARE IN PARIS. ONE KIWI TEENAGER LIVING IN THE CENTRE OF THE CAPITAL SAYS SHE'S ON LOCKDOWN IN HER BUILDING. I HEARD A WHOLE LOT OF HELICOPTERS AND SIRENS. KIND OF SCARED. I DID NOT REALISE HOW BAD IT ACTUALLY WAS. I NOW KNOW THAT THE PRESIDENT HAS CLOSED THE BORDERS. NO ONE KNOWS WHAT TO DO BECAUSE IT HAS NOT HAPPENED BEFORE. YOU JUST NEED YOUR MUM OR SOMEONE THAT YOU KNOW FROM HOME. A NZER IN PARIS WHO FREQUENTS A RESTAURANT THE GUNMAN TARGETED HAS TOLD ONE NEWS SHE AND HER FRIENDS HAD THOUGHT ABOUT GOING THERE FOR DINNER THAT NIGHT. I HAD A MESSAGE COME THROUGH FROM A FRIEND AND A FRIEND OF MINE TONIGHT WAS ABOUT TO SUGGEST THAT WE WENT TO THE RESTAURANT. WE WERE IN COMPLETE SHOCK TO GET THAT MESSAGE. AMBULANCES AND PEOPLE WERE STARTING TO RUN ON THE STREETS. IT WAS QUITE FREAKED OUT. LUCKILY, I AM IN WALKING DISTANCE FROM HOME, AND ALL ON THE WAY, PEOPLE WERE SAYING TO HURRY UP AND GET INSIDE. THERE IS A FEW OF THE STAFF, ESPECIALLY ONE OF THE WAITRESSES, THAT I'M JUST THINKING ABOUT RIGHT NOW. SHE HAS ALWAYS BEEN A WAITRESS THAT I HAVE THOUGHT IS AWESOME AND SUPER NICE. THE REASON I GO TO THE RESTAURANT. MY THOUGHTS ARE THERE WITH HER. A FRIEND OF A FRIEND OF MINE WAS AT THE RESTAURANT. I HEARD NEWS HE WAS HIDING UNDER THE TABLE. THERE WAS PIECES OF PEOPLE EVERYWHERE, AND A CHILD ON THE FLOOR. IT IS QUITE SHOCKING, AND JUST REALLY HOPING THAT AS MANY PEOPLE ARE AS SAFE AS POSSIBLE THAT WERE THERE. FRENCH PRESIDENT FRANCOIS HOLLANDE HAS ARRIVED NEAR THE BATACLAN CONCERT HALL AND THANKED THE EMERGENCY SERVICES THAT HAVE WORKED TIRELESSLY SINCE THE ATTACKS BEGAN. (SPEAKS FRENCH) TRANSLATOR: SECURITY FORCES WERE CALLED ONCE AGAIN TO INTERVENE IN EXTREMELY DIFFICULT CONDITIONS, AND THE TERRORISTS WHO HAD SET UP IN A PLACE VERY CLOSE FROM HERE HAVE BEEN KILLED. I WANT TO EXPRESS OUR ADMIRATION FOR ALL THE SERVICES RENDERED ` DOCTORS, FIREMEN AND THE CIVILIAN PROTECTION SERVICES WHO WERE DEVOTED THROUGHOUT THE NIGHT TO HELP. THERE ARE NUMEROUS WOUNDED, SOME SERIOUSLY, OTHERS SHOCKED ` SHOCKED BY WHAT THEY SAW. WE WANTED TO BE HERE AMONG ALL THOSE WHO SAW THOSE ATROCITIES TO SAY THAT WE WILL FIGHT BACK, THAT IT WILL BE RUTHLESS. BECAUSE WHEN TERRORISTS ARE ABLE TO CARRY OUT SUCH ATROCITIES, WE MUST BE CERTAIN THEY FIND IN FRONT OF THEM A DETERMINED FRANCE, A UNITED FRANCE, A FRANCE GATHERED AND A FRANCE THAT WILL NOT LET ITSELF BE INTIMIDATED. EVEN IF TODAY SHE EXPRESSES AN INFINITE EMOTION IN REGARD OF THIS DRAMA, THIS TRAGEDY THAT IS SUCH AN ABOMINATION BECAUSE IT IS BARBARIANISM. AND WORLD LEADERS HAVE SENT THEIR CONDOLENCES TO THE PEOPLE OF PARIS TONIGHT, INCLUDING OUR PRIME MINISTER AND THE US PRESIDENT. Let me just start by condemning this Heinous act of terrorism. I think all of us feel very numb to hear the information and also a great deal of sympathy for the people of France. France is our oldest ally. French people have stood shoulder to shoulder with the people of United States again. We want to make very clear that we stand next to the against terrorism and extremism. Those who think that they can terrorise the people of France all the values that they stand for are wrong. This is a time of great trial and trauma for the people of France and the government and security forces. The Australian government extends its deepest condolences to the family and loved ones of those who have been killed. Our hearts and thoughts and prayers go out to our French cousins during this dark and terrible time. These terrorist attacks are deeply worrying and unsettling to people around the world. We have offered all about help and support to the people of France at this time. THE SKY TOWER WILL TONIGHT BE LIT IN RED, WHITE AND BLUE TO COMMEMORATE THOSE KILLED IN THE ATTACKS WHILE IN NEW YORK THE ONE WORLD TRADE CENTRE SPIRE IS ALREADY SPORTING THE COLOURS AND WILL CONTINUE TO IN THE DAYS TO COME, ACCORDING TO THE CITY'S GOVERNOR. AND THE CN TOWER IN TORONTO, CANADA, HAS ALSO BEEN LIT UP WITH THE FRENCH FLAG COLOURS. A VIGIL FOR THE VICTIMS OF TODAY'S TERROR ATTACKS IS BEING HELD AT AUCKLAND'S AOTEA SQUARE SHORTLY. ONE NEWS REPORTER NICOLE BREMNER JOINS US LIVE FROM THERE NOW. NICOLE. As you can probably see, Quite a crowd is gathering. Close to 200 people. Tim Groser is there. He is heading to Paris in a couple of weeks for climate change talks. He is a fluent French speaker. Earlier I spoke to the first people who arrived. They are young French students. They are finding it very difficult to cope with the news that France has been attacked for the second time this year. Here's what they had to say. The first thing I thought was not again. I would like to be in France with my family and friends. I would like to be in France now. What the French people we are asking New Zealand to do is to show their support, particularly online. #prayforparis and #solidarityforparis. Coming together and being with other French people as a way to help them. They are finding it very difficult. This is a really good time for them to get the support they need from their own community when they are so far away from home. Al Gillespe is here. We are in the middle of a wave of international terrorism. We had an incident in Beirut. We have seen terrorism quadrupled since 2001. In 2014 we saw 30,000 people killed in terrorism acts. The trajectory is going up. It is a global problem and it is getting worse. You have mentioned before there is a battle to the bottom between Al Qaeda and Isis. It is a battle for market share. They are competing for the same ideological space. Al Qaeda was responsible for Charlie Hebdo. There is nothing that Islamic state will not do. This type of attack against purely civilians is likely to be a Islamic state. It has happened at an event like a rock concert. Everything that that group stands for 'Eagles of Death' would be absolutely against the ISIS ideals. I'm not sure whether they were targeting that music venue, but they were looking at trapping people in a small space. It will change the way we go to things. The restrictions on us going into large venues like that. 'Eagles of Death Metal' is a group that is not familiar to me. WEL'LL BE BACK IN JUST A MOMENT WE'RE BACK WITH BREAKING NEWS COVERAGE OF TODAY'S TERROR ATTACKS IN PARIS. I'LL BE WITH YOU UNTIL 8PM TONIGHT. IT'S THE WORST BLOODSHED THERE SINCE WORLD WAR TWO ` AT LEAST 153 KILLED. THIS IS THE SCENE RIGHT NOW IN PARIS ` A CITY IN LOCKDOWN. IT'S 7 IN THE MORNING THERE, ABOUT NINE HOURS AFTER THE SERIES OF ATTACKS BEGAN. THE KILLING SPREE'S BEING CALLED A MASSACRE, AS THEY TOOK PLACE AT UP TO SIX DIFFERENT LOCATIONS. WE'VE PINPOINTED THE MAIN ONES IN THIS MAP ` THE NATIONAL STADIUM, WHERE EXPLOSIONS WERE HEARD OUTSIDE; THE BATACLAN CONCERT HALL, THE SCENE OF A HOSTAGE SIEGE AND UP TO 100 DEATHS; AND THE CAMBODIAN RESTAURANT WHERE THE SHOOTINGS FIRST ERUPTED. WE SPOKE TO GRN CORRESPONDENT DEON DE LANGE, WHO IS IN PARIS, A SHORT TIME AGO. COFFEE SHOPS ARE STARTING TO OPEN TO THE DREADFUL NEWS. SLOWLY BUT SURELY, EYEWITNESS ACCOUNTS ARE STARTING TO EMERGE. THE BATACLAN THEATRE WAS NOT FAR FROM THE BRAZEN ATTACK IN JANUARY ON CHARLIE HEBDO. ACCORDING TO ACCOUNTS FROM THOSE WHO SURVIVED IN THE THEATRE, THOSE WHO DIED WERE SYSTEMATICALLY EXECUTED. AT THE FOOTBALL MATCH, AT STADE DE FRANCE, FRANCOIS HOLLANDE WAS EVACUATED. THERE WERE TWO OR THREE EXPLOSIONS. AT A CAMBODIAN RESTAURANT, A KILLER IN BLACK CALMLY AND SEEMINGLY PROFESSIONALLY SHOT PEOPLE SITTING ON THE SIDEWALK. AND KILLING PEOPLE INSIDE. THEN HE TURNED HIS AIM TO VEHICLES THAT WERE PASSING BY AND FIRED INDISCRIMINATELY AT VEHICLES THAT WERE PASSING BY. IT'S THE SECOND TIME THIS YEAR PARIS HAS BEEN BROUGHT TO A STANDSTILL BY A DEADLY TERROR ATTACK. IN JANUARY, GUNMEN STORMED THE SATIRICAL MAGAZINE 'CHARLIE HEBDO'. AND, AS ANDREW MORRISON REPORTS, THE FRENCH PRESIDENT PREDICTED THEN THAT MORE WAS TO COME. GUNFIRE 10 MONTHS AGO THE STREETS OF PARIS WERE A WAR ZONE. GUNFIRE THREE ISLAMIC MILITANTS STORMED THE OFFICE OF SATIRICAL MAGAZINE CHARLIE HEBDO, KILLING 10. TRANSLATOR: I CAN STILL HEAR SHOTS RINGING THROUGH MY EARS. TRANSLATOR: WE ARE HORRIFIED. GUNFIRE THE GUNMEN ALSO KILLING TWO POLICE OFFICERS, WOUNDING ONE, SEEN HERE, EXECUTING HIM AT POINT-BLANK RANGE AND FLEEING THE SCENE. IT TRIGGERED A 52-HOUR REIGN OF TERROR AS POLICE HUNTED SAID AND CHERIF KOUACHI. TRANSLATOR: WE ARE THREATENED BECAUSE WE ARE A COUNTRY OF FREEDOM. AND BECAUSE WE ARE A COUNTRY OF FREEDOM, WE WILL BE ABLE TO FACE THESE THREATS. POLICE TRACKED THE BROTHERS TO A PRINTING FACTORY ON THE OUTSKIRTS OF PARIS,... GUNFIRE ...KILLING BOTH OF THEM AND FREEING A LONE HOSTAGE. 30KM AWAY IN CENTRAL PARIS, ANOTHER HOSTAGE SIEGE WAS UNFOLDING AT A JEWISH SUPERMARKET, WHERE A GUNMAN WAS HOLED UP. TRANSLATOR: WE ARE IN A WAR SITUATION. WE HAVE TO SAY IT ` THESE ARE EVENTS UNSEEN FOR 40 YEARS. EXPLOSION, GUNFIRE THE FRENCH ANTI-TERRORISM UNIT STORMED THE SUPERMARKET, SHOOTING DEAD THE GUNMAN. FOUR HOSTAGES WERE KILLED. MORE THAN A DOZEN OTHERS FLED IN FEAR. TRANSLATOR: IT WAS VERY SHOCKING. FIRST THERE WAS SOME LOUD SHOTS OF WHAT IMAGINED WAS MORTAR FIRE, AND THEN THE REST YOU CAN IMAGINE. THE FRENCH PRESIDENT WARNED OF DIFFICULT DAYS AHEAD. TRANSLATOR: FRANCE IS NOT FINISHED WITH THE THREATS SHE WAS TARGETED WITH, SO I WANT TO APPEAL TO YOU FOR VIGILANCE AND UNITY AND MOBILISATION. A MESSAGE MORE RELEVANT THAN EVER AS THE HEART OF PARIS GRAPPLES WITH AN EVEN DEADLIER REIGN OF TERROR. ANDREW MORRISON, ONE NEWS. PROF AL GILLESPE IS BACK WITH ME. Let us put this in context with what has been happening in Europe in the last couple of months. The huge wave of refugees. Is this going to change attitudes and particularly Germany and France? The predictions are up to 800,000 people coming in. The difficulty we will have is some countries will say we do not want them. This will harden the target for cooperation in Europe. If people are from that group, the problem we have here is that ISIS were going to put 4000 fighters amongst the refugees. They may be French citizens. If these people ever found, they are likely to be Islamist supporters. Many people in France, particularly those on the right, Are going to tar everyone with the same brush. There will be a backlash. France has a population of 10 million Muslims. If these people are showing to be French citizens, there will be a backlash there. 300 volunteers have gone from France to Syria. It is quite possible that one in nine people who return from Syria are inclined to continue the Jihad. What about the attitudes of French and Germans who have been welcoming the migrants? If you work is Islamic state or Al Qaeda and you wanted to create chaos, this is what you do. People will be very distrustful of those who they do not know. IF YOU'RE POISED TO GO TO PARIS, THE MESSAGE TONIGHT IS TO RETHINK YOUR TRAVEL PLANS. AUTHORITIES HERE ARE ALSO TRYING TO TRACK DOWN ANY NZERS KNOWN TO BE IN THE FRENCH CAPITAL. WITH MORE ON THAT, HERE'S OUR POLITICAL EDITOR CORIN DANN. AS NEWS OF THE TERROR ATTACKS BROKE, THE MESSAGE TO THE PEOPLE OF PARIS ` STAY INDOORS. ONE THOSE CONFINED TO HER ROOM IS KIWI STUDENT SHANNON GRINTER (18). THE LADY WHO LOOKS AFTER THE APARTMENT RAN UP KNOCKING THE DOOR SAYING, 'DON'T LEAVE. DON'T LEAVE,' AND I WAS LIKE, 'WHAT'S HAPPENING?' AND THEN A FEW MINUTES LATER, SHE WAS LIKE, 'YOU'RE ON LOCKDOWN FOR THE NEXT 24 HOURS 'UNLESS OTHERWISE.' 279 KIWIS ARE REGISTERED AS BEING IN FRANCE. AS OF A SHORT TIME AGO, THE MINISTRY OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS WAS STILL WORKING WITH THEIR FRENCH COUNTERPARTS TO DETERMINE IF ANY OF THOSE HAVE BEEN HARMED IN THE ATTACKS. THE INFORMATION IS NOT VERY FLUID AT THIS POINT. THERE IS A LOT OF UNACCOUNTED FOR PEOPLE, SO WE'RE NOT IN A POSITION WHERE WE CAN BE ABSOLUTELY SURE THERE ARE NO NZERS INVOLVED. ON THE ADVICE WE'VE HAD SO FAR, THERE'S NONE THAT PRESENT THEMSELVES. THE FRENCH AUTHORITIES SHUT THE BORDERS IN RESPONSE TO THE ATTACK, AND THE MESSAGE TO KIWI TRAVELLERS HEADING TO FRANCE IS TO CONSIDER CHANGING YOUR PLANS. CONTACT THEIR TRAVEL EXPERT AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. AT FLIGHT CENTRE, WE HAVE OUR 24/7 HELPLINE, SO THEY CAN CONTACT US AT ANY TIME OF THE DAY. THE PRIME MINISTER WAS EN ROUTE TO DARWIN AT THE TIME OF THE ATTACKS. HIS FIRST TASK WHEN ARRIVING WAS TO PHONE HIS DAUGHTER, STEPHIE, WHO LIVES IN PARIS. SHE WAS OUT AT A SHOPPING MALL. ONE OF OUR FRIENDS ACTUALLY SAW AN UPDATE ON THE BRITISH MEDIA AND TEXTED MY WIFE, WHO THEN GOT IN CONTACT WITH OUR DAUGHTER, AND MY WIFE JUST RIGHTFULLY ADVISED HER TO GET HOME TO HER APARTMENT AS QUICKLY AS SHE COULD. HUBBUB LIKE OTHER WORLD LEADERS, MR KEY HAS STRONGLY CONDEMNED THE ATTACK. WHO'S RESPONSIBLE FOR THE ATTACKS IS NOT YET CLEAR. MOST LIKELY, IT'S AL QAEDA OR ISLAMIC STATE. THE TWO OF THEM ARE IN A KIND OF COMPETITION NOW MOST LIKELY, IT'S AL QAEDA OR ISLAMIC STATE. THE TWO OF THEM ARE IN A KIND OF COMPETITION NOW FOR WHO CAN DO THE MOST SEVERE ACTS. CHARLIE HEBDO WAS AL QAEDA, BUT MOST TERRORIST INCIDENTS THAT WE'VE SEEN RECENTLY, LIKE, WITH THE RUSSIAN METRO JET IN SINAI ` THAT WAS ISLAMIC STATE RELATED. AND AL GILLESPIE SAYS AS A MEMBER OF THE TEAM HELPING TO FIGHT ISIS, THE ATTACKS IN PARIS COULD HEIGHTEN RISKS HERE TOO. AS WITH ALL OF THESE INCIDENCES THAT THERE WILL BE A RISK. WE'VE GOT TO KEEP THAT RISK IN PROPORTION. IT'S MUCH SMALLER HERE THAN IT IS IN EUROPE, BUT IT IS THERE. FOR FRENCH CITIZENS IN NZ, THEY CAN ONLY WAIT AND WATCH NERVOUSLY. OUR HEART IS WITH THEM. GIVE ALL OUR MORAL SUPPORT. THEY ARE GOING TO GO THROUGH A VERY DIFFICULT TIME. SENTIMENTS FELT BY PEOPLE ALL AROUND THE WORLD TODAY. WE'LL BE BACK IN JUST A MOMENT WITH MORE LIVE ROLLING COVERAGE OF THE PARIS ATTACKS. WE RETURN NOW TO BREAKING NEWS COVERAGE OF TODAY'S TERROR ATTACKS IN PARIS. IT'S THE WORST BLOODSHED THERE SINCE WORLD WAR TWO ` AT LEAST 153 KILLED. IT'S COMING UP TO 8 IN THE MORNING THERE, ABOUT 10 HOURS AFTER THE SERIES OF ATTACKS BEGAN. THE KILLING SPREE'S BEING CALLED A MASSACRE, AS IT TOOK PLACE AT UP TO SIX DIFFERENT LOCATIONS. WE'VE PINPOINTED THE MAIN ONES IN THIS MAP ` THE NATIONAL STADIUM, WHERE EXPLOSIONS WERE HEARD OUTSIDE; THE BATACLAN CONCERT HALL, THE SCENE OF A HOSTAGE SIEGE AND UP TO 100 DEATHS; AND THE CAMBODIAN RESTAURANT WHERE THE SHOOTINGS FIRST ERUPTED. WE'VE GOT THE LATEST PICTURES NOW FROM PARIS. THIS REPORT FROM OUR EUROPE CORRESPONDENT, EMMA KEELING. TWO SWAT TEAMS BROUGHT AN END TO THE BLOODY BATACLAN HOSTAGE SIEGE, TOO LATE TO SAVE MORE THAN 100 INNOCENT PEOPLE INSIDE. FOR FRANCE, THE HORROR IS FAR FROM OVER. PARIS REMAINS IN LOCKDOWN AS THE DEATH TOLL RISES ALONG WITH FEARS MORE ATTACKS COULD FOLLOW. THE FRENCH PRESIDENT SPOKE TO THE NATION AS THE ATTACKS CONTINUED. (SPEAKS FRENCH) MY FELLOW COMPATRIOTS, AS I SPEAK, TERRORIST ATTACKS OF UNPRECEDENTED PROPORTIONS ARE UNDERWAY IN THE PARIS AREA. THERE ARE DOZENS KILLED. THERE ARE MANY INJURED. IT IS A HORROR. IN AN UNPRECEDENTED MOVE, FRANCE DECLARED A STATE OF EMERGENCY AND CLOSED ITS BORDERS. (SPEAKS FRENCH) WE HAVE TO ENSURE THAT NO ONE CAN ENTER AND COMMIT ANY ACT. WE MUST ALSO ENSURE THAT THOSE WHO COMMITTED THESE CRIMES ARE EQUALLY APPREHENDED IF THEY WERE TO TRY TO LEAVE THE COUNTRY. THOSE WHO THINK THEY CAN TERRORISE THE PEOPLE OF FRANCE AND THE VALUES THEY STAND FOR ARE WRONG. TERRORIST THREATS AGAINST FRANCE HAVE INTENSIFIED IN RECENT WEEKS, BUT AUTHORITIES AND INTELLIGENCE SERVICES WERE CAUGHT OFF GUARD BY THE WELL-PLANNED SERIES OF ATTACKS ON SOFT TARGETS ON A BUSY FRIDAY NIGHT. 14 DINERS DIED WHEN A BOMB EXPLODED AT THIS CROWDED PARIS RESTAURANT AROUND 10PM. MINUTES LATER, GUNMEN OPENED FIRE AT A NEARBY BAR, KILLING ANOTHER 19. BY 10.30, ANOTHER FOUR WERE DEAD, KILLED IN SUICIDE ATTACKS NEAR ENTRANCES TO THE NATIONAL STADIUM. PRESIDENT HOLLANDE WAS AMONG THE FOOTBALL FANS. AS HE WAS SPIRITED AWAY TO SAFETY, HUNDRED OF DAZED SPECTATORS TOOK REFUGE ON THE PITCH. AT THE SAME TIME, MORE TERRORISTS WIELDING SEMI-AUTOMATICS HAD STORMED THE BATACLAN CONCERT HALL, PACKED WITH FANS WAITING FOR CALIFORNIAN BAND EAGLES OF DEATH METAL. The terrorists were very calm. They did not shout anything. They were masked, and they were shooting at people. BY 11.35, THE SIEGE WAS OVER, LEAVING MORE THAN 100 DEAD INSIDE THE BATACLAN, INCLUDING FOUR OF THE TERRORISTS. FRANCE IS VOWING TO AVENGE ITS WORST VIOLENCE SINCE WORLD WAR II. 'WE ARE GOING TO LEAD A WAR WHICH WILL BE PITILESS. 'THEY ARE FACING A UNITED FRANCE, 'A FRANCE THAT IS TOGETHER AND DOES NOT LET ITSELF BE MOVED, 'EVEN IF TODAY WE EXPRESS INFINITE SORROW.' WE'RE GOING TO DO WHATEVER IT TAKES JUMP TO BRING THESE TERRORISTS WE'RE GOING TO DO WHATEVER IT TAKES TO WORK WITH THE FRENCH TO BRING THESE TERRORISTS TO JUSTICE AND GO AFTER ANY TERRORIST NETWORKS THAT GO AFTER OUR PEOPLE. FIGHTING WORDS FROM WORLD LEADERS, BUT STILL IN THE DARK AS TO WHO THEY ARE FIGHTING. We have just received a report From the Islam Association of New Zealand. They are condemning this on terrorist attack and all attacks around the world. A couple of things before we go. Francois Hollande says we are closing the Borders. Yet Emma Keeling, our correspondent in London, says she has booked the ticket on the Eurostar. The Borders cannot be completely closed. Charles de Gaulle is still open. The success of being able to trap anyone who wants to flee over the border will be questionable. Francois Hollande wants to catch the perpetrators. There might be hundreds of people involved. You will get rid of one group but they will be replaced by another group. You have to look at the much larger picture and how to defeat the long-term. That comes with being engaged in Syria and Iraq. Thank you for your time this afternoon and tonight. PRESIDENT HOLLANDE HAS DESCRIBED THE TERROR ATTACKS AS 'HORRIFIC', AND OTHER WORLD LEADERS HAVE BEEN QUICK TO CONDEMN THE KILLINGS. PRIME MINISTER JOHN KEY SPOKE TO MEDIA A SHORT TIME AGO IN DARWIN ON HIS WAY TO VIETNAM. LET ME JUST START BY CONDEMNING THIS HEINOUS ACT OF TERRORISM. IT'S A TRAGIC DAY FOR THE PEOPLE OF FRANCE AND THE FAMILIES. I THINK ALL OF US FEEL NUMB AT HEARING THE INFORMATION. A GREAT DEAL OF SYMPATHY FOR THE PEOPLE OF FRANCE, GIVEN WHAT THEY WENT THROUGH WITH CHARLIE HEBDO. IN RELATION TO NZERS IN FRANCE, WE HAVE NOT HAD ANY ADVICE THAT NZERS HAVE BEEN CAUGHT UP IN THE ATTACKS, BUT THE INFORMATION IS NOT VERY FLUID AT THIS POINT. THERE IS A LOT OF UNACCOUNTED-FOR PEOPLE AT THE MOMENT. WE CANNOT BE EXACTLY SURE THAT NZERS ARE NOT INVOLVED. WE WOULD ENCOURAGE NZERS TO MAKE CONTACT WITH THEIR FAMILIES SO THAT THEY ARE AWARE OF THEIR SAFETY AND, OF COURSE, FOR PEOPLE TO JUST BE CAREFUL IF THEY ARE CONSIDERING GOING TO PARIS. WE HAVE NOT CHANGED FORMALLY OUR TRAVEL ADVISORY, BUT WE WOULD TELL PEOPLE TO GO TO THE MINISTRY OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS WEBSITE, MAKE CONTACT WITH MFAT. MY WIFE HAS MADE CONTACT WITH OUR DAUGHTER, STEPHIE. SHE IS AT HOME NOW, SAFE AND SOUND. LIKE ANY PARENT OR ANYONE WHO HAS A LOVED ONE IN PARIS, IT IS A WORRYING TIME. I AM RELIEVED THAT SHE IS SAFE AND SOUND. YOU ARE CONCERNED FOR YOUR CHILDREN AND YOUR FAMILY MEMBERS. THIS IS A TIME WHERE THERE IS A GREAT DEAL OF UNCERTAINTY IN PARIS AND THERE MAY BE SOME OF THESE TERRORISTS AT LARGE. THAT PRESENTS RISKS. WE FEEL THAT DISTANCE BETWEEN OUR FAMILY MEMBERS, AND WE FEEL HELPLESS. NZERS ARE GATHERING TO PAY THEIR RESPECTS FOR THOSE WHO DIED IN THE ATTACKS IN A CANDLELIGHT VIGIL AT AUCKLAND'S AOTEA SQUARE. THEY'VE JOINED FRENCH EX-PATS WHO ARE IN DISBELIEF OVER THE COUNTRY'S SECOND MAJOR ATTACK THIS YEAR. THE FIRST THING I THOUGHT WAS, 'NOT AGAIN.' I WOULD LIKE TO BE IN FRANCE WITH MY FAMILY AND FRIENDS. I WOULD LIKE TO BE IN FRANCE NOW. THE SKY TOWER WILL SOON BE LIT IN RED, WHITE AND BLUE TO COMMEMORATE THOSE KILLED IN THE ATTACKS, WHILE IN NEW YORK, THE ONE WORLD TRADE CENTRE SPIRE IS ALREADY SPORTING THE COLOURS AND WILL CONTINUE TO IN THE DAYS TO COME, ACCORDING TO THE CITY'S GOVERNOR. AND THE CN TOWER IN TORONTO, CANADA, HAS ALSO BEEN LIT UP WITH THE FRENCH FLAG COLOURS. THAT'S OUR COVERAGE FOR NOW HERE AT ONE NEWS. WE'LL BREAK BACK INTO PROGRAMMING AT 9PM AND 10PM WITH THE LATEST UPDATES FROM PARIS, THOUGH. NOW, TODAY'S EVENTS HAVE FORCED SOME CHANGES TO OUR SCHEDULED PROGRAMMES. WE'LL HAVE YOU OVER NOW WE'LL HAND YOU OVER NOW
