Admitted by nearly everybody. we have still to convince our allies in the region to accept it. the idea of having a political transition after six months to have a new governing body in syria. to have elections. so the general ideas are there. but, of course, we have a new sense of urgency. >> what do we know about whether this man, abdelhamid abaaoud, the mastermind, how he could have gotten away? was there an intelligence failure here? the french and americans thought he was in syria, not in p...

Arrest. weapons confiscated, including heavy weapons, a rocket launcher. military clothing found in one house. the focus now really of this investigation is on trying to find the eighth attacker. you remember isis said there were eight attackers. french officials said there were only seven attackers dead. that means one attacker still on the loose. the focus on the investigation, the focus of this man hunt, is apparently a man called salah abdeslam. he is the brother of one of the attackers who ...

One of the most chilling aspects of this situation is that possible connection to the migrant trail. i was just in greece yesterday. most of them have no documentation. the greek officials are trying to take them in, offer them humanitarian assistance, but, frankly, people have no idea who they are. so if someone left to join isis in syria or iraq, that would be a good way for them to come back under the radar and reintegrate themselves into society even before anyone has a chance to find out. s...

Operatives came right through greece, exploiting the system to come in. was this an intelligence failure, of course to some degree. they dont have the capability to follow all the people that they need to be following. one security official said even if you gave us five time more resources, wed still be nowhere close. >> appreciate you. well continue to check in with paul throughout the hours. people gathering for a memorial. well bring you that to you. it comes over the new criticism for the ob...

Possible connection to the migrant trail. i was just in lesvos a few days ago, thousands of people are arriving, between 5,000 and 10,000 to just that single greek island. most of them have no documentation. the greek officials are trying to take them in, offer them humanitarian assistance, there are volunteers there, but frankly, people have no idea who they are. so if someone left to join isis in syria or iraq, that would be a good way for them to come back under the radar and re-integrate the...

Kosher market. this more organized than "charlie hebdo." >> why are we using words like that this is is more spectacular and more grand. lets talk about from what we are hearing from french intel sources. they say this is not that complicated to plan. its not about missing obviously, chatter, missing big meetings and missing coordination from abroad. what can you tell us what is involved and what this says how easy or difficult it is to detect even something of this dynamic? >> a lot of people a...

Small planter. she and her colleagues, three of them, received a $3,000 award from the biomimicry organization. as i said, they all described her as among the best of the design students. a shining star. not just someone angling for a degree. someone who was just esteemed in and out of long beach states design program. erin? >> paul, thank you. frances president is calling this countrys battle with islamic radicalization unprecedented. france with the second largest population of muslims in eu...

The acceleration if this is isis, of their ability and their coordination to fly completely under the radar. >> this is a -- a failure, really, an intelligence failure in a country that was on very high alert ten months after the attack just five minutes down in this direction at "charlie hebdo," where we were reporting the same kind of story, but this a factor of ten bigger in terms of the carnage. the city is on alert, the country is on alert for this kind of attack. they were looking for this...

Failed to spot the people that were involved in these attacks. as jim sciutto was saying, there were three teams involved, had to have a lot of back-up support. had to be a lot of communications back and forth to coordinate this, and yet none of it was spotted. i think theres going to be a lot more draconian measures taken in order to find out how these guys operated and how they were able to pull this off, poppy. >> jim bittermann live for us also here in paris with me, jim, thank you very much...

Its going to happen. now that its happened in france and isis and al qaeda and all these other groups have seen the damage and the destruction and the immediate focus and attention, you can be sure that theyre looking at this country and how theyre going to do it. >> final question. is the largest challenge for those who do what you use to do for a living, how to surveil individuals on the radar screen? time and again i hear this individual was known to law enforcement. its hard to follow so man...
