that the french were not prepared for. we have emergency meetings going all night long with the interior minister and other people. we have not seen the interior minister which is quite strange. i'm sure we will see him in the early hours of this morning. there have been meetings after meetings and an emergency defense council meeting at the presidential palace that will start in a couple of hours. but it's a question of what can they do now? the president announced the securing of the borders but he said they will be stopping and searching things and the mayor of paris said they will be closing down schools and anything that might have been open tomorrow. tomorrow is actually today, saturday, that might have been open that would attract a crowd. even the grocery stores, i think he means the bigger grocery stores will be closed as well. it's a grim scene here. >> coming up on 5:05 saturday morning in paris.
