00:09Here are the top stories at this hour.
00:12Dozens of Prime Ministers and Presidents from across Europe and the Middle East will join
00:16hundreds of thousands of French people to march in the streets of Paris after the terrorist
00:21attacks that killed 17 last week.
00:25Angela Merkel, David Cameron and Mahmoud Abbas are among the leaders assembling in Paris
00:29at the invitation of French President François Hollande.
00:33Police searched for a woman linked to the three Al-Qaeda-inspired attackers, but a Turkish
00:38official said she appears to have already slipped into Syria.
00:43Two suicide bombers killed nine people and wounded 37 others in an attack on a café
00:48in a flashpoint Alawite neighbourhood in Lebanon's Tripoli last night.
00:53Lebanese politicians and movements were quick to condemn the bombing, branding it a terrorist
00:58act and calling for unity.
01:01Cristiano Ronaldo is the favourite to win the Ballon d'Or for the second year in succession
01:07at Monday's gala ceremony in Zurich, ahead of Manuel Neuer and Lionel Messi.
01:13Messi has finished in the top two in each of the last seven years, but despite another
01:18prolific year in 2014, appears this time to be lagging behind his two rivals.
01:25For a short time on Friday night, the official website of tonight's Golden Globe Awards
01:29posted what appeared to be this year's winners in two top Globes categories, setting off
01:35some momentary media excitement.
01:38It listed Selma, the historical drama about the civil rights movement, as the winner of
01:43Outstanding Motion Picture Drama.
01:46Selma seems to have replaced 12 Years a Slave, which actually took home that trophy in 2014.

01:58Perry said on Saturday on NBC that Kravitz will join for the halftime show at the February
02:03first game in Arizona.
