“French President Francois Hollande said a state of emergency would be declared across France and national borders shut following a spate of attacks in Paris on Friday evening in which he said dozens were killed and several wounded. Shortly after the speech, Hollande’s office announced that he was canceling his participation at the G20 meeting in Turkey this weekend. A mandatory curfew was instituted in Paris, the first since 1944, according to the Associated Press. Shortly after midnight Paris time, a French government official said the country’s state of emergency had gone into effect.”
