Reuters — Gunmen and bombers attacked restaurants, a concert hall and a sports stadium at locations across Paris on Friday, killing at least 120 people in what a shaken President Francois Hollande called an unprecedented terrorist attack.

What we know:
• Islamic State group has claimed responsibility for a string of six attacks that began in Paris at 9.30pm last night. Police officials say Syrian passports were found on the bodies of two suicide bombers.
• German police say there are “clear links” between a man arrested in Germany this week, and last night’s attacks.
• 127 people are dead, 99 critically injured. Eight attackers are dead, seven having detonated their own suicide vests.
• U.S. State Department confirms Americans among the casualties. Sweden also has one citizen among the dead; Romania and Belgium count two each.
• French President François Hollande has declared three days of mourning, and will address parliament on Monday. “Faced with war, the country must take appropriate action,” he said.
• Parisians are lining up to donate blood to assist the 99 who are still critically injured, and using the hashtag #rechercheparis (Paris Search) to assist those looking for missing loved ones.
• Information number for tourists in Paris: +33 (0) 1 45 55 80 00

Over the past decade, more than 700 journalists have been killed for bringing news and information to the public. Worryingly, only one in ten cases committed against media workers over the past decade has led to a conviction. This impunity emboldens the perpetrators of the crimes and at the same time has a chilling effect on society including journalists themselves. Impunity breeds impunity and feeds into a vicious cycle.

The United Nations General Assembly adopted Resolution A/RES/68/163 at its 68th session in 2013 which proclaimed 2 November as the ‘International Day to End Impunity for Crimes against Journalists’. The Resolution urged Member States to implement definite measures countering the present culture of impunity. The date was chosen in commemoration of the assassination of two French journalists in Mali on 2 November 2013.

This landmark resolution condemns all attacks and violence against journalists and media workers. It also urges Member States to do their utmost to prevent violence against journalists and media workers, to ensure accountability, bring to justice perpetrators of crimes against journalists and media workers, and ensure that victims have access to appropriate remedies. It further calls upon States to promote a safe and enabling environment for journalists to perform their work independently and without undue interference.

The regional trade and investment flows in Asia and the Pacific is decelerating as the economies in the region adjust to cyclical and structural changes resulting from the global economic downturn and the expected reduction in China’s growth rate, says a new United Nations report launched today.

However, the Asia-Pacific Trade and Investment Report 2015, compiled by the UN Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific(ESCAP), said that the Asia-Pacific remains the most dynamic region of the global economy and will continue to hold its position as the largest trading region in the world.
