    Early reports saying it's the same guy that shot the policewoman yesterday so is related. 5 hostages apparently

    Stade are playing Castres tonight at Jean-Bouin. Tbh I'd have second thoughts about going near any public gathering in Paris.

    I doubt they surrender. They'll get shot. Hopefully the hostage survives though.

    Apparently.

    Some hostages released and gunmen killed according to latest reports. Hopefully all the hostages survived

    Aye, sounds like it was a fairly slickly co-ordinated operation. Double hit at exactly the same time on both locations.

    Now sounds like this wasn't the case at all and 4 hostages were killed at the bakery...

    Only thing is we don't know when they died. But looking at the images it looked very hard for the teams to get a clean entry, only two entrances.

    Sounds like the police at the bakery were forced to go in at short notice as the two terrorists at Dammartin came out shooting - the guy/guys in the bakery had threatened to kill hostages if anything happened their buddies. I'd imagine having to go in like that, not on their own terms and not as planned as it could have been, would be a very difficult situation...

    That kind of thing is lose-lose for the authorities. Leave it too long and these guys would shoot the hostages. Try and take them out and the hostages get caught in the middle. The best they can do is minimise the casualties. Hopefully they've done that. As much as I wanted those people arrested and imprisoned instead of martyred there was no way that was going to happen.

    Serious wind in Dublin at the moment. I for one am glad there's no match in the RDS tonight.

    Yea really bad. Starters came almost straight after ordering and then there must have been about a 30 minute wait for the main course.

    The food itself wasn't great either, mine was only lukewarm and the portion was pitiful. Doubt I'll be back.
