Gunmen have opened fire in several places in the French capital, Paris, causing several casualties, French media report.

At least one man opened fire with an automatic gun at the Cambodge restaurant in the 11th district.

Liberation newspaper reports four deaths. It also reports shootings near the Bataclan arts centre.

An explosion is also reported to have targeted a bar near Stade de France, where France were hosting Germany.

Reports say President Francois Hollande was watching the match and has been evacuated.

A BBC journalist at the Cambodge restaurant says he can see 10 people on the road either dead or seriously injured.

He says police have now arrived.

Shooting is said to be continuing.

But where do we go from here? This is the second terrorist attack in Paris this year. How can you fight a war with an enemy within? Hollande is saying all the right things, but its little more than you would expect him to say. All the world leaders are coming out and condemning this latest atrocity and showing support for France, but what happens next?

I have no doubt that the security services of all European countries are working tirelessly to prevent attacks like this, but Paris last night clearly demonstrated the carnage that can be caused by just a few dedicated terrorists. And we all know that it will happen again and again, until the penny eventually drops amongst the EU leaders that some concerted action has to be taken in an effort to prevent, or at least restrict, further attacks.
