Border measures tightened as France in state of emergency

French President François Hollande declared a state of emergency on Friday after a series of coordinated attacks across Paris killed at least 140 people. He also indicated that France’s borders will be sealed, but later reports amended the measure to say that security at borders would be tightened.

Airports and train stations remain open but security checks will be tightened at all crossing-points.
