class="block-elements">  <p><strong>Jeremy Corbyn</strong>, the opposition Labour leader in the UK, has already given at least two interviews about the Paris attacks (see <a href="http://www.theguardian.com/world/live/2015/nov/16/paris-attacks-france-airstrikes-isis-raqqa-syria-live#block-5649ab18e4b091c2edb6cf4a">10.36am </a>and <a

href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-34832023"> this new one,</a> by the BBCs political editor, Laura Kuenssberg. Corbyn, a relatively obscure leftwing backbencher until his surprise victory in the leadership election in September, is probably the most pacifist figure to lead a major UK political party since the 1930s and this interview revealed how different his views are from David Camerons - or from Ed Milibands, his predecessor as Labour leader.</p> <p>Here are the main points.<br /></p> <ul> <li><strong>Corbyn refused to say whether he would ever support military action against Islamist extremists.</strong> He was asked about this three times. In his first reply he said:</li> </ul> <blockquote class="quoted"> <p>I think I would support security measures, policing measures, to deal with these issues, but I think we have to be careful if we act illegally or irrationally; we stand by the rule of international law, we stand by the charter of the United Nations, we stand by our own law. If we start doing random acts without legal backing for them, then we dont strengthen our position in the world. So I think the answer to your question is that we have to abide by the law.</p> </blockquote> <p>When it was put to him that in some circumstances military action against Islamist extremists would be legal, he said whether or not he would approve was a hypothetical question. Bombing Syria was not the right way forward, and he would not support it at this stage, he said. When Kuenssberg pressed him for a third time he replied:</p> <blockquote class="quoted"> <p>Im not saying I would or I wouldnt. Im saying its a hypothetical question at this stage. My view is we have to review our foreign policy, review the situation thats going on in the region and listen to words put forward by Barack Obama on behalf of the United States and<a href="http://www.foxnews.com/world/2015/11/15/ban-ki-moon-warns-international-community-to-respect-rule-law-in-response-to/"> Ban Ki-moon on behalf of the United Nations.</a> They made some very wise comments over the weekend. There has to at the end be a political solution to it. </p> </blockquote> <ul> <li><strong>Corbyn said that he would not be happy to order the police or troops to operate a shoot to kill policy in relation to terrorists on British streets. </strong>Asked about this, he replied:</li> </ul> <blockquote class="quoted"> <p>Im not happy with a shoot-to-kill policy in general. I think that is quite dangerous and I think that can often by counter-productive. I think you have to have security that prevents people firing off weapons where they can ... The idea that you end up with a war on the streets is not a good thing. Surely you have to work to try and prevent these things happening. That has got to be the priority. </p> </blockquote> <p>This story was prompted by <a href="http://www.thetimes.co.uk/tto/news/uk/defence/article4615007.ece">a front page Times story on Monday (paywall) saying special forces have been ordered to intervene and shoot to kill if jihadis stage a Paris-style attack in a British city.</a></p> <ul> <li><strong>He said he thought Western intervention in the Middle East was partly to blame for the Paris attack. </strong>Asked if he agreed with a post from Stop the War on Twitter (subsequently deleted) saying Paris was reaping [the] whirlwind of western support for extremist violence in Middle East, Corbyn replied:</li> </ul> <blockquote class="quoted"> <p>I would not use that language. I would use the language that has been put forward by the thoughtful words of President Obama saying we had to reckon with what happened there.</p> </blockquote> <p>But he said he did think Western policy was a factor in explaining the attacks.</p> <blockquote class="quoted"> <p>We have created a situation where some of these forces have grown. Obviously, [I] absolutely blame those that did it. Absolutely, obviously, Isil are totally wrong. Obviously they are some kind of nihilistic movement that are a threat to everybody. Is the way of dealing with them bombing which will include civilian casualties? Bombing does. Or is the way to obviously make the necessary security protective measures in each country, but also to try and get a solution in Syria? We cant go on with more and more people leaving Syria who are refugees from all wars ...</p> <p>Weve got a record, all the Western countries, of interventions, all across the whole piste, and has peace got better as a result of it? Well, I think you know the answer as well as I do to that.</p> </blockquote> <ul> <li><strong>He said the government should abandon its planned police cuts to enhance security in this country.</strong> The government should also recognise the role community policing can play in building up good community relations, he said. <br /></li> </ul> <ul> <li><strong>He said he received a security briefing from the government on Saturday about the Paris attacks.</strong></li> </ul> <ul> <li><strong>He said the government had not yet asked for his support on the issue of extending airstrikes against Isis to Syria. </strong></li> </ul> </div>   <p class="block-time updated-time">Updated <time datetime="2015-11-16T18:18:05.285Z">at 6.18pm GMT</time></p>  </div> <div id="block-564a0ec6e4b0e0595dc6c37d" class="block is-key-event" data-block-contributor="profile/jonathan-bucks"> <p class="block-time published-time"> <time datetime="2015-11-16T17:20:18.154Z">5.20pm <span class="timezone">GMT</span></time> </p>   <h2 class="block-title">Brother of fugitive suspect: 'We don't know where he is'</h2>  <div class="block-elements">  <p>Mohamed Abdeslam, the brother of two suspects linked to the attacks on Friday in Paris was <a href="http://www.theguardian.com/world/live/2015/nov/16/paris-attacks-france-airstrikes-isis-raqqa-syria-live#block-5649cd26e4b029d663c36993">released by Belgian police this afternoon after several hours in custody</a>.

May added that she would be pressing for more information sharing in relation to firearms. </li> </ul> <blockquote class="quoted"> <p>The UK has some of the toughest firearms laws in the world. The sorts of weaponry used in the attacks in Paris in January, and those that appear to have been used last Friday, are not readily available in the UK. We must therefore focus on tackling firearms entering and moving throughout the EU, and ensuring that we have the right capabilities at the UK border to detect firearms being smuggled in.</p> <p>This Friday, I will attend an extraordinary meeting of the European justice and home affairs council, where I will press the need for greater information sharing, passenger name records and action on firearms. In the UK, we have seen tough legislation work and so we want to see action taken to make a difference to the availability of firearms in Europe, particularly assault rifles.</p> </blockquote> <ul> <li><strong>She said the threat from Islamic State (Isis or Isil) was evolving.</strong></li> </ul> <blockquote class="quoted"> <p>The international investigation into the attacks is ongoing, but we know that Isil have claimed responsibility. This is not the first time Isil has struck in Europe. We have seen attacks either inspired or directed by the group in France, Belgium, Denmark, as well as attacks in Lebanon, Turkey and Kuwait, and the ongoing devastating violence in Syria and Iraq. And in June, 30 British nationals along with others were killed by a gunman at a tourist resort in Tunisia. It also looks increasingly likely that the Russian Metrojet plane which crashed two weeks ago in Egypt was brought down by a bomb. But the scale of this latest attack and the degree of coordination and planning leave us with little doubt that the threat is evolving.</p> </blockquote> <ul> <li><strong>She said the UK border force was helping French authorities with targeted security checks on passengers travelling to France. </strong>Since Friday, the border force has also been intensifying checks generally, May said.

(He was interviewed by Nick Robinson, the BBCs former political editor, who is starting his new job as a Today presenter.)<br /></p> <ul> <li><strong>Cameron said there were hopeful signs that the international community might be able to agree a joint strategy for tackling Islamic State (Isis, or Isil as Cameron calls it) in Syria.</strong> He said Britain, the US and France might be able to compromise in the interests of getting a deal with Russia. Until now, the problem has been that the western countries are insisting on the removal of Syrias president, Bashar al-Assad, while Russia is backing him. Cameron, who is holding talks with the Russian president, Vladimir Putin, later today, said:</li> </ul> <blockquote class="quoted"> <p>Of course you cant really deal with so called Islamic State unless you get a political settlement in Syria which allows you then to permanently degrade and destroy that organisation. Its still got a long way to go, but there are some hopeful signs in that the meeting of foreign ministers, including the Russians and the Iranians, as well as the Americans, the British and the French, has made some progress and I hope to have some discussions with Vladimir Putin this morning ...</p> <p>It is difficult. We have some profound disagreements. But I will start the conversation with Vladimir Putin by talking about the things that we agree about, which is that Isil, and this radicalised Islamist extremism, is just as much a threat to Russia  potentially more of a threat to Russia  than it is to Europe. </p> <p>In his remarks last night, Vladimir Putin very much recognised that.</p> <p>The disagreement has been that we think Assad should go at once, and obviously Russia has taken a different view. We have to find a settlement where Assad leaves and there is a goverment that can bring Syria together, and we mustnt let the gap between us be the altar on which this country of Syria is slaughtered. That is the challenge.</p> <p>That is going to take compromises. I think that you can see, from what is going on in Vienna with these talks, that the British, the Americans, the French are prepared to make compromises.</p> </blockquote> <ul> <li><strong>He said he would consider speeding up the introduction of the investigatory powers bill on internet surveillance in light of the Paris attacks.</strong> The bill is still in draft form and not due to become law until the end of 2016. <a href="http://www.theguardian.com/world/live/2015/nov/15/paris-attacker-named-investigation-continues-live-updates#block-564869dfe4b0ced428cb2a2d">Yesterday, the Home Office ruled out rushing it through parliament.</a> But when Cameron was asked about this, he gave a different line. He said: </li> </ul> <blockquote class="quoted"> <p>Well, I think we should look at the timetable.</p> </blockquote> <p>But he also stressed the need to give parliament time to scrutinise the bill, suggesting the Home Office line from yesterday will probably prevail in the end.</p> <blockquote class="quoted"> <p>We do need to take parliament and people with us.</p> </blockquote> <ul> <li><strong>He said the British authorities had been preparing for an incident of this kind, involving multiple terror attacks in a city, but that they did not expect it to come from Isis.</strong> Now the authorities would go back to the drawing board to ensure their preparations were up to date, he said.</li> </ul> <blockquote class="quoted"> <p>It was the sort of thing we were warned about, but the warning that we were previously planning and responding to very much came out of al-Qaida and the areas between Pakistan and Afghanistan. It was similar, but it was different.</p> <p>What it meant is that we spent a lot of time working out how to respond to this sort of attack, working with the security services and the police, but also the other emergency services, and potentially involving our armed forces as well and special forces.</p> <p>But whenever anything like this happens, you have to go right back to the drawing board and look at how many people were involved, and how many locations, and work out what more steps you need to do to try to keep yourself safe. But that is exactly what we are doing right now.</p> </blockquote> <ul> <li><strong>He said that, while he favoured Britain extending airstrikes against Isis to Syria, he would not risk losing a vote on this in the Commons because that would be damaging to the countrys reputation.</strong></li> </ul> <blockquote class="quoted"> <p>I support the action in Syria. We are part of the enablers of that. It is happening anyway. The question is should we go further and join that action. I have always said that we should. Isil dont recognise the border between Iraq and Syria and neither should we. But I need to build the argument, I need to take it to parliament, I need to convince more people. We wont hold that vote unless we can see that parliament would endorse that action, because to fail on this would be damaging  it is not a question of damaging the government; it is a question of not damaging our country and its reputation. </p> </blockquote> <p>He also said Isis had lost 30% of the territory it held in Iraq as a result of the allied airstrikes there which have involved the UK.</p> <ul> <li><strong>Cameron said he would be willing to take his children to the England-France football match in London tomorrow.</strong></li> </ul> <blockquote class="quoted"> <p>I think it is very important that we carry on with our lives.</p> </blockquote> <ul> <li><strong>He sidestepped a question about whether the British government had had advance warning of an attack of this kind</strong>.

Reports say these were administrative searches on properties as part of a general anti-terrorist operation and not part of the Paris attack investigation.

The restaurant had been unusually empty the night before, with just a couple of customers at tables and a few more drinking outside. Its Tunisian cook, <strong>Ammar Bensalem</strong>, was in the back kitchen with his friend Fatih. And then the shooting started: sudden bursts of automatic fire.<br /></p> <p>I heard shots. We hid in the kitchen. Eight people joined us, Bensalem said on Sunday, outside his workplace of two years. He said he emerged to find carnage: a woman alive but bleeding profusely from the arm, broken glass, police. Five people had been shot dead immediately in front of the restaurant. Medics had taken them away.</p> <p>Beneath its menu sign  Pizza, Pasta, Salad  rivulets of blood were still visible.</p> </blockquote> <blockquote> <p> As fear receded, some families emerged defiantly with children. This time its too much. I dont want to leave this kind of world to my kids, <strong>Sophie DuPont</strong> said, speaking outside La Belle Equipe restaurant in the rue de Charonne, where 18 people were murdered. She was with her baby daughter and four-year-old. She added: If we have to fight, we will fight, just as our grandfathers did.<br /></p> <p>Around them, people were laying flowers and candles. Two bullets hit the neighbouring sushi bar; someone had threaded flowers through the holes. There were messages. Most were positive: Peace, love, unity for my beautiful street, Dear Freedom and I am Paris written on three tubs of crocuses. A few were angry: Death to illiterate barbarians.</p> <p>And: We wont allow you to make this world rotten.</p> </blockquote> <aside class="element element-rich-link"> <p> <span>Related: </span><a href="http://www.theguardian.com/world/2015/nov/15/parisians-reclaim-streets-survivors-recall-terror-of-massacre">Parisians reclaim their streets as survivors recall terror of massacre</a> </p> </aside> </div>   <p class="block-time updated-time">Updated <time datetime="2015-11-16T17:48:34.221Z">at 5.48pm GMT</time></p>  </div> <div id="block-56492d1ae4b06fb53392c8e8" class="block" data-block-contributor=""> <p class="block-time published-time"> <time datetime="2015-11-16T01:14:24.341Z">1.14am <span class="timezone">GMT</span></time> </p>    <div class="block-elements">  <p>My colleague <strong>Emma Graham-Harrison</strong> <a href="http://www.theguardian.com/world/2015/nov/15/paris-attacks-fake-passport-raises-questions-over-bombers-identities">has been delving into the story</a> of the passport found near the body of the one of the Paris suicide bombers  was it the passport of a Syrian refugee, or someone purporting to be one?</p> <blockquote> <p>The discovery raised as many questions as it answered, because it was unclear whether the passport was real or fake and whether the bomber had used it to get to <a href="http://www.theguardian.com/world/paris">Paris</a> himself or acquired it illegally from someone else.</p> <p>On 3 October, a man using the name Ahmed Almohamed arrived on the small Greek island of Leros and registered as a refugee with the Syrian passport.</p> <p> The traveller apparently crossed to a neighbouring island and there <a href="http://www.protothema.gr/world/article/527346/protothemagr-exclusive-the-names-and-tickets-of-the-bombists-that-passed-through-greece/">boarded a ferry to Athens</a> on 5 October, buying a ticket together with one other man, travel receipts published by the Greek newspaper Protothema show.<br /></p> <p>Within two days he had apparently passed through northern Greece to Macedonia and reached the border crossing with Serbia <br /></p> <p>French authorities have yet to say whether they have managed to match fingerprints to those registered along with the passport in Greece.
