Paris attacks: France ‘at war’ says President Hollande

France “is at war” after Friday’s attacks on Paris, President Francois Hollande has told a rare joint sitting of both houses of parliament.

He said France was committed to “not just containing, but destroying” the so-called Islamic State (IS) group.

He said he would meet the presidents of the US and Russia in the coming days.

IS said it carried out the attacks on bars, restaurants, a concert hall and a stadium in Paris on Friday, in which 129 people were killed.
