As parliament votes to extend the duration and scope of the state of emergency in France, President Hollande has tweeted: “France will respond to hate with fraternity, to terror with law, to fanaticism with hope. In being simply France.”

Dr Youri Yordanov is just 35. He had never dealt with firearm wounds before Friday's attacks in Paris, but as the oldest doctor in the San Antoine emergency department at the time he had to take charge.

Read a gripping account of how one hospital responded as the first casualties of the attacks arrived.

The raids in Brussels that took place earlier have now finished, a spokesman for the federal prosecutor's office says.

One person was taken in for questioning – a “technical arrest”, he says.  

Police raided properties linked to suspected Paris attackers Bilal Hadfi and Salah Abdeslam.  

The spokesman would not confirm whether Abdelslam is still thought to be in Belgium, but says the inquiry into his whereabouts is still very much active and ongoing.

Heavily armed police are stopping and searching vehicles at the first road toll out of Paris on the motorway to Brussels, BBC Europe correspondent Chris Morris says. The extra checks are said to be causing long queues.

A Belgian newspaper has released a picture of a woman it claims is the female suicide bomber suspected of having blown herself up during Wednesday's police raid in the Paris suburb of Saint Denis. 

La Derniere Heure posted a picture, external of Hasna Aitboulahcen on its website. It describes her as the cousin of Abdelhamid Abaaoud, the suspected mastermind of the Paris attacks. 

The newspaper said she was born on 12 August 1989 in France. 

France's lower house of parliament has approved an extension of the state of emergency to three months, Le Monde reports. President Francois Hollande had previously declared a state of emergency for 12 days after the attacks. 

The Islamic State militant group has issued two videos threatening more attacks in France and other Western countries as part of efforts by the group to extract maximum propaganda from the Paris attacks, BBC Monitoring reports.

One of the videos which was subtitled in French showed footage of what appeared to be streets in New York City interspersed with footage of explosives being prepared, the jihadist media team says. 

Militants in the videos singled out France, threatening worse to come. There were also explicit threats against other unnamed European countries.

Lyon's annual Fete des Lumieres (Festival of Lights) has been cancelled and replaced with a tribute to victims of the Paris attacks, the city's mayor says.

The festival normally takes place in early December, with millions of people attending.

French President Francois Hollande is speaking at a ceremony honoring Latifa Ibn Ziaten, the mother of Imad Ibn Ziaten, one of seven people killed by French militant Islamist Mohammed Merah in 2012. 

The Chirac Foundation is honoring Latifa Ibn Ziaten for her work promoting inter-religious dialogue.

Writing in the Huffington Post, external, Latifa Ibn Ziaten wrote that "IS wants to separate us, divide us and above all we mustn't be afraid."

She called on French people not to see IS as representative of Muslims.

"All this has nothing to do with what Islam really is," she said.

Here's a rundown of the emergency laws being debated in the French parliament:

• French government wants a three-month extension to the country's state of emergency
• It would allow anyone deemed a public threat to be placed under house arrest and searches could be carried out without a court order
• Police are being allowed to carry guns while they are off-duty, Le Monde newspaper reports
• A public march and demonstration in Paris planned for 22 November has been cancelled

Meanwhile in Belgium Prime Minister Charles Michel has pledged an extra 400 million euros to fight Islamist extremism.

He tells parliament new laws will mean jihadists returning from Syria will be jailed and unregistered places of worship closed down.

"IS has launched a war against us", French President Francois Hollande says. 

Speaking at the Chirac Foundation in Paris, he added: "French police are at the front line of this war."

Arsenal FC's French manager Arsene Wenger has been talking about the events in Paris. He said tributes to the French people at Tuesday's friendly between England and France at Wembley "showed the class of England". 

"The arch of Wembley in French colours was very significant," he said.

Wenger was in Paris when the attacks took place on Friday.

Our colleagues at BBC Monitoring have been looking at what Arabic-language newspapers are saying in the aftermath of the Paris attacks...

Middle East Arabic dailies are continuing to discuss the wider repercussions of the Paris attacks, including on the image of Islam.

Several papers say the real causes behind the emergence of so-called Islamic State include poverty, unemployment and "repressive" governments.

UAE paper Al-Bayan says in an editorial that Islam is being "hurt in its core" and turned into "an image of no life, violence, killing and destruction". 

Jordanian paper Al-Ra'i carries an article by the country's Mufti, Abd-al-Karim al-Khasawnah, who writes: "The extremists have offended Islam and Muslims with their cruel behaviours, their harsh attitudes and radical ideology."

A commentary in Egyptian state-owned Al-Ahram calls on Al-Azhar, the most prestigious Sunni Islam institute, to help in facing up to "the terrorist foray" and to address young French people on how "Islam is being dragged into crimes it does not approve". 

Other publications suggest the fight against terrorism should not use exclusively military tools, but should also seek to uproot the causes of hatred and spread a culture of art and creativity.

Two reporters for NTV, one of Russia’s main state-controlled TV channels, say they were beaten up and robbed by a teenage gang in Molenbeek, Belgium.

Speaking from a Brussels police station, NTV reporter Konstantin Panyushkin said he and his cameraman had been looking for friends or relatives of suicide bomber Bilal Hadfi.

Mr Panyushkin said they tried to talk to a group of youths but a couple of minutes later one of them attacked the cameraman. The others allegedly then joined in the attack – the two journalists fell to the ground and were kicked.

They said the youths stole their rucksack, containing money, a laptop and documents.

Mr Panyushkin said two of the youths were later brought in by the police. They were supporters of Hadfi, he claimed.

Raids being carried out in and around Brussels are separate from the official investigation into the Paris attacks or the manhunt for Salah Abdeslam, a spokesman for the Belgian federal prosecutor says.

Eric Van Der Sypt said the raids had been "planned for some time". He earlier said police were searching property linked to associates of Bilal Hadfi, who blew himself up at the Stade de France in Paris. One operation also took place at an address linked to Abdeslam. 

More information on the Paris attackers can be found here.

Here is some more context to French PM Manuel Valls' warning about the threat of possible chemical or biological attacks from terror groups.

Belgian's federal prosecutor has confirmed raids are being carried out in and around Brussels in connection with the Paris attacks.

A spokesman said most of the raids involved searches of property linked to associates of one of the suicide bombers at the Stade de France, Bilal Hadfi. 

He added that Belgian authorities had a file on Hadfi dating back to earlier this year when he was thought to have travelled to Syria. 

The searches are in the Molenbeek and Jette areas of Brussels. There has also been one search operation at an address in the Brussels district of Laeken which the prosecutor's spokesman said was linked to Salah Abdeslam - another of the Paris attackers who is believed to still be on the run. 

French PM Manuel Valls has warned there is "a risk" that extremists could use chemical and biological weapons to target France. "Terrorism hit France, not because of what it is doing in Iraq and Syria... But for what it is," he told MPs this morning as he urged them to extend a state of emergency to three months.
