		</div><p>A state of emergency has been declared in France after a night of horror in the capital, where at least 128 people have been killed.</p>
<p>Two hundred others have been injured.</p>
<p>Shootings and explosions happened at six separate locations.</p>
<p>There were two suicide attacks and a bombing near the Stade de France stadium, shootings at restaurants and a massacre inside a popular music venue in what is the worst violence to hit France since the Second World War.</p>
<p>The French government have convened an emergency meeting on Saturday morning to formulate their response to the attack.</p>
<p>Eight attackers died, including seven in suicide bombings, but the city&#8217;s prosecutor said it is possible there are still terrorists on the run.</p>
<p>Security has been stepped up and border control checks re-imposed after the attacks, which President Francois Hollande described as an “abomination”.</p>
<p>In horrific scenes officers stormed the Bataclan concert hall where hostages were being held but attackers, wearing suicide belts, blew themselves up, leaving 80 people feared dead.</p>
<p>Earlier reports indicated 100 people had been killed inside the venue.</p>
<p>During a visit to the concert hall in the early hours Mr Hollande, who has cancelled his trip to the G-20 meeting in Turkey, said the country will be “merciless” against those who have attacked them.</p>
<p>“We will lead the fight. We will be merciless,” he said.</p>

<p>The national football side was playing a friendly match against Germany at the Stade de France when two suicide attacks and a bombing took place nearby.</p>
<p>President Hollande had been at the stadium but was evacuated.</p>
<p>Gregory Goupil of the Alliance Police Nationale said there were at least three dead in the attacks near the stadium. He said the explosions went off simultaneously.</p>
<p>As many as 18 people died when the terrace of the Rue de Charonne was sprayed with gunfire, while around 14 people were killed when Le Carillon bar-cafe, and the nearby Cambodian restaurant Le Petit Cambodge, were also shot at, prosecutor Francois Molins said.</p>
<p>Two hundred people were injured in the string of attacks, French media reported.</p>
<p>Scenes of “carnage” were described by witnesses at the Bataclan, who said there was “blood everywhere”.</p>
<p>World leaders including Barack Obama and David Cameron have spoken of their shock and outrage at the violence.</p>
<p>The attacks come after the Charlie Hebdo atrocity, which took place in January and saw 12 people killed after gunmen stormed the offices of the satirical magazine.</p>
<p>They also come a day after Islamic State militant Mohammed Emwazi, known as Jihadi John, was targeted in a US air strike in Syria. It is not clear if there is any link.</p>
<p>President Obama told a press conference that the violence in Paris “was an attack on all of humanity”.</p>
<p>He said: “Those who think they can terrorise the people of France and the values they stand for are wrong.”</p>
<p>While Taoiseach Enda Kenny says his thoughts and those of all the Irish people are with the French citizens.</p>
<p>The Vatican has also condemned the attack as “mad terrorist violence”.</p>
<p>Eyewitness Ben Grant said he was in a bar with his wife when the gunshots were fired and he had seen six or seven bodies on the ground.</p>
<p>He told the BBC: “I heard gunshots. People dropped to the ground. We put a table over our heads to protect us.</p>
<p>“We were held up in the bar because there was a pile of bodies in front of us.”</p>
<p>Television cameraman Charles Pitt said he was outside a cafe in the city’s 11th arrondissement where people were shot at around 9.10pm local time.</p>
<p>He told BBC News: “I had literally gone about 30 metres when, I thought it was a firecracker to start with, and then it went on and it got louder.</p>
<p>“It went on for a minute. Everybody dived for cover thinking it was gunfire. Then there was a pause for about 15 seconds and then it all started up again.</p>
<p>“Then it calmed down a bit and I walked back to the front of the cafe and there was a whole pile of bodies, probably about seven on the left-hand side and four that had been sitting on the tables outside on the right-hand side, and a lot of injured.</p>
<p>“I saw a woman who had obviously been shot in the leg.”</p>
<p>The Bataclan concert hall had been due to host a gig by US rock band Eagles Of Death Metal. All of the group have been accounted for and are safe, a US official said.</p>
