It is thought police are on the scene in Dammartin-en-Goele, about 25 miles north east of Paris and about six miles from Charles de Gaulle airport and that negotiations are underway with Said and Cherif Kouachi, according to reports.

Earlier, police and the suspects were involved in a car chase on the A2 motorway.

The men are understood to have taken a hostage or hostages, and negotiations are concentrating on securing their release.

The French prosecutor denied an earlier report that a person was killed in thos morning's developing events.
