Belgium eyewitness
22:59 GMT - Belgian police arrest several suspects in Brussels during raids connected to the Paris attacks.
"An old model Golf was stopped as it was driving. The police made the man get out and they shoved him in the back, made him kneel and then put a blindfold on him," a resident of the poor Brussels district of Molenbeek tells AFP on condition of anonymity.
"The man was between 30 and 40. He was dressed normally in jeans and a hoodie. He wasn't bearded, he looked normal," the witness adds. -

F1
23:40 GMT - Drivers at the Brazilian Grand Prix will wear black armbands to honour the victims in Paris and will hold a pre-planned minute's silence for road traffic victims.
Earlier, some controversy arose when International Motoring Federation (FIA) president Frenchman Jean Todt spoke with French television station Canal+ and seemed dismissive toward the terror attacks.
He told the station: "Do you realise the number of people killed in road accidents is by far bigger than the number of people who died in Paris?"
FIA issued a statement that said: "A French flag decorated with a black ribbon will be carried on the truck used during the drivers' parade." -
Lotus driver
23:41 GMT - Romain Grosjean, the only French driver in Formula One, wore a black armband incorporating his nation's flag during the qualifying session for the Brazilian Grand Prix.
He says that the best tribute from him to the victims would be to put "the French flag on top of the podium" by winning.
"It's going to be hard, but let's do a race, think about what happened and hope that peace comes back quickly," the Lotus driver says. -

Leros
00:31 GMT - The discovery of a Syrian passport near the body of one attacker has raised suspicions some of the attackers might have entered Europe as part of an influx of people fleeing Syria's civil war.
"We confirm that the (Syrian) passport holder came through the Greek island of Leros on October 3 where he was registered under EU rules," says the Greek minister for citizen protection, Nikos Toskas.
Police do not rule out that the Syrian passport may have changed hands before the assault. -

Democratic debate
02:09 GMT - Three US presidential candidates at the Democratic debate in Des Moines, Iowa, respond to the deadly terrorist attacks in the French capital.
Bernie Sanders: "Together, leading the world, this country will rid our planet of this barbaric organisation called ISIS."
Hillary Clinton: "Our prayers are with the people of France tonight, but that is not enough. We need to have a resolve that will bring the world together to root out the kind of radical jihadist ideology that motivates organisations like ISIS -- a barbaric, ruthless, violent jihadist terrorist group."
Martin O'Malley: "My heart goes out to the people of France in this moment of loss... and as our hearts go out to them and as our prayers go out to them, we must remember this: that this is the new face of conflict and warfare, not in the 20th century but the new face of conflict and warfare in the 21st century. And there is no nation on the planet better able to adapt to this change than our nation."
