00:12French police have identified the first of seven gunmen who killed at least 129 people
00:18in a wave of carnage claimed by Daesh, as international investigators stepped up their
00:23probe into Paris' worst ever attacks.
00:27French authorities named the first attacker as 29-year-old Omar Ismail Mostafa, who was
00:33identified from a severed finger found at Bataclan concert hall.
00:38The investigation widened across Europe, with Belgian police arresting several suspects
00:43and German authorities probing a possible link to a man recently found with a car of
00:49explosives.
00:50Meanwhile, world diplomats have agreed on a path to Syrian elections in 18 months at
00:56talks in Vienna, driven by a fresh sense of urgency after the Paris attacks.
01:01A final statement after the meeting said that the goal was to bring Syrian government and
01:06opposition representatives together by January 1.
