Jonathan Hill from Cardiff is working in Paris. He says he saw a man directing people into the Bataclan concert hall where people are being held hostage.
Quote MessageI heard three distinct firing shots that at first I didn't believe were actual shots from a gun. They almost sounded like fireworks cracking off in the middle of the street. And while that happened I saw a guy probably 6' 4" - 6' 5", quite a heavy set man looked Caucasian from about 50 yards away. And he was in the middle of the street shouting "Allez! Allez!" at people. He almost seemed to be a good Samaritan telling people to get out of from the cafes and go inside. As that happened I saw another shot and I saw someone collapse to the floor outside the Bataclan

We will do whatever we can to work with the French people to bring these terrorists to justice”
Quote MessageWe have been working with French people to offer our prayers to those wounded."

One of the attackers at the Bataclan has explosives, according to a Liberation journalist quoting a police officer at the scene.
Meanwhile Julien Pierce, a Europe 1 journalist who was inside the Bataclan, has described what he saw:
"Several armed men came into the concert. Two or three men, not wearing masks, came in with what looked like Kalashnikovs and fired blindly on the crowd.
"It lasted between 10 and 15 minutes. It was extremely violent and there was panic. The attackers had enough time to reload at least three times. They were very young."
