Heard something along the lines of 100+ dead in the Bataclan. Oh my god please dont be true.

Edit: Looks like some morons decided to set fire to the refugeecamp in Calais.

Edit 2: Oh no, looks like the 100+ dead toll is true ;_;

Edit 3: France24 ticker spoke of hundreds o_O

112 dead including 70 from the Bataclan.

Edit: Roughly 100 in the Bataclan alone.

Edit 2: Calais fire seems to be a hoax.

A true disgrace. We can only hope humanity will learn to get along sooner rather than later. And while France has our attention and thoughts right now, let's not forget terror comes in many forms and from many spheres, many times legitimized as exactly the opposite.

The EU needs to come to grips with issue instead of pretending it's not a problem and sticking their heads in the sand. You can't let everyone and anyone into your borders.

President Francois Hollande's address.
My dear 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.

We have, on my decision, mobilised all forces possible to neutralise the terrorists and make all concerned areas safe. I have also asked for military reinforcements. They are currently in the Paris area, to ensure that no new attack can take place. I have also called a cabinet meeting that will be held in a few minutes.

Two decisions will be taken: a state of emergency will be declared, which means that some places will be closed, traffic may be banned , and there will also be searches which may be decided throughout Ile de France (greater Paris). The state of emergency will be proclaimed throughout the territory (of France).

The second decision I have made is to close the borders. We must ensure that no one enters to commit any crimes and that those who have committed the crimes that we have unfortunately seen can also be arrested if they should leave the territory.

This is a terrible ordeal which once again assails us. We know where it comes from, who these criminals are, who these terrorists are.

In these difficult moments, we must - and I'm thinking of the many victims, their families and the injured - show compassion and solidarity. But we must also show unity and calm.

Faced with terror, France must be strong, it must be great and the state authorities must be firm. We will be.

We must also call on everyone to be responsible.

What the terrorists want is to scare us and fill us with dread. There is indeed reason to be afraid. There is dread, but in the face of this dread, there is a nation that knows how to defend itself, that knows how to mobilise its forces and, once again, will defeat the terrorists.

French citizens, we have not completed the operations. There are still some that are extremely difficult. It's at this moment that the security forces are staging an assault, especially in a place in Paris.

I ask you to keep all your trust in what we can do with the security forces to protect our nation from terrorist acts

Long live the Republic and long live France."

He is in Calais for sure and he is quite well known reporter. I doubt he would lie like this.

And yet no other news sources have confirmed it. The BBC have reporters all over France, I believe they would have reported it if it were actually happening.

BBC isn't everywhere and probably didn't want to report before checking for 100%.

Let's just say it's unclear at this point whether the Calais reports are genuine or false and avoid arguing?

I didn't notice anyone arguing here.
