the Telegraph coverage

[claig]

This is terrible, AFP are saying that hostages have been taken at a concert hall.

[AuntieStella]

It's not at all clear yet what happened, but it does look like simultaneous attacks. Casualty figures not confirmed, some outlast saying four, others putting it rather higher.

Dreadful news.

[claig]

Sky are saying reports of 18 dead in one location

[SwedishEdith]

Just said 18 on BBC - quoting French police.

[SouthernComforts]

I'm switching between each news channel, absolutely awful news.

Does anyone know if the France v Germany football match has finished? It will be chaos with that number of people pouring out. (Sorry if this is nowhere near the attacks, I saw it mentioned briefly on BBC news)

[OhYouBadBadKitten]

awful.

Looks like the game has finished.

[claig]

Terrible, AP is saying at least 26 dead

[MrsTerryPratchett]

How many separate attacks have there been?

[claig]

They said there were 3 attacks - one at a restaurant, one at a concert hall and one somewhere else

[MrsTerryPratchett]

Bloody hell.

[StellaAlpina]

3 I think, the stadium a theatre and a club?

So sad

[Hopelass]

Shit. DP's brother and sister in law are in Paris I don't know where exactly but city centre
