There is a global hunt for ISIS terrorists and supporters across Europe and dramatic attempts to restore security in France, Belgium or Germany preventing another massacre.

As well the military pressure on ISIS in Iraq and Syria by the U.S., France and even now Russia is raised. 

Globalo brings you what you need to know today in this breaking news report:

France

• Shootouts described as “like something of a war scene” took place in the Parisian suburb of St-Denis last night. Eight people were arrested and two killed in the raid by the French police. Another terror act in Paris had been planed there. Salah Abdeslam, the on-the-run suspected eighth attacker, is a longstanding associate of Abaaoud. Both men were involved in gangs in Molenbeek, Belgium, carrying out robberies and other petty crimes.
• A woman who self detonated in response to the attacks has been named as Abaaoud’s cousin, Hasna Aitboulahcen. He was killed as well.
• The entire floor of the apartment in which the raids took place has collapsed, making identification particularly difficult at this point
• France voted today to extend its national state of emergency to February. The aircraft carrier Charles de Gaulles is on her way to the Eastern part of the Mediterranean Sea.
• President Hollande has also confirmed that the country will continue to accept 30,000 refugees over the next two years and will continue ahead with a trip to Washington next week to discuss the war with ISIS.

The United States

• American authorities have offered a $5 million reward for information that may lead tot he identification of IS leader Abu Muhammed al-Shimali
• President Obama has responded to calls by various Governors not to settle refugees in their territories, arguing that Republicans are afraid of “widows and orphans”

Russia

• After the successful international Syria conference in Vienna some days ago, Russia now responded to ISIS attacks on one of its airliners by introducing a resolution to commence attacks on Islamic State in Syria

The timetable for elections “starts after starting to defeat terrorism”.
