A video posted online captured two gunmen, clad all in black and carrying Kalashnikovs, taking fire at a lone policeman in the aftermath of the massacre.

The graphic video shows the victim falling to the ground and holding his hands up to surrender before apparently being executed with a point blank shot to the head.

The gunmen, who appear to be professionally trained, then jog back to a black Citroen car waiting in the middle of the road before driving off.

Other videos from today's horrific attack show the gunmen shouting 'Allahou Akbar' outside the office of Charlie Hebdo in Paris and bystanders fleeing the carnage.

 The weekly magazine has previously courted controversy with its depiction of news and current affairs.

French TV channel iTELE quoted a witness as saying he saw the incident from a building nearby in the heart of the French capital.

"About a half an hour ago two black-hooded men entered the building with Kalashnikovs (guns)," Benoit Bringer told the station.

"A few minutes later we heard lots of shots," he said, adding that the men fled the building.

Prime Minister David Cameron joined the condemnation of the attack, saying: "The murders in Paris are sickening. We stand with the French people in the fight against terror and defending the freedom of the press."

Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg said the killings were a "barbaric attack on freedom of speech".

"My thoughts are with the victims, their families and their colleagues," he said.

 Charlie Hebdo has launched a series of attacks on Muslim extremism and the last tweet on its profile page @Charlie-Hebdo-, sent about an hour before the shootings, included a satirical cartoon of Islamic State leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi.

In it he wishes everyone "good health".

 Describing the scene, police official Luc Poignant told BFM TV: "It's carnage,"

In December 2011, the Charlie Hebdo office was firebombed after the magazine said the Prophet Muhammad would be editor-in-chief of its next issue.

The scene of the shooting has now been cordoned off by police as they chase the attackers who are still at large.

President of the National Assembly Claude Bartolone said: "Scenes of horror at the offices of Charlie Hebdo. My solidarity is with the victims."

Charlie Hebdo is a satirical comedy weekly newspaper and features cartoons and irreverent stories and frequently lampoons religions of all types.

 It first ran from 1969 to 1981, when it folded, but the publication was resurrected in 1992.

The editor is Stephane Charbonnier. It is believed he is among the 12 dead.

There have been a number of shootings in the France over the past few years. in March 2012 Mohammed Merah, 23, a French man of Algerian descent, shot and killed a rabbi, two of his children, and another child at a Jewish school, in Toulouse, France, Police believe he had earlier shot and killed three paratroopers.

Merah said he was a member of Al Qaeda and that he was seeking revenge for the killing of Palestinian children.

Kim Kardashian and Kanye West buy neighbour's house for $3 million to expand their $20 million estate

The power couple have reportedly snapped up the property to make sure their estate is kept private

 Kim Kardashian and Kanye West have so much money that they were able to buy their new neighbour’s home for $3 million.

The couple, who married in May this year, have been living with Kim’s mother Kris Jenner in Calabasas but now they’re really going for it with their $20 million Hidden Hills estate.

Kim and Kanye reportedly snapped up the house behind their new abode, drastically expanding their estate.

Making the deals

After buying their new home they “have just bought the home adjacent adjacent to their massive $20 million estate in Hidden Hills for $2,925,000,” a source with Trulia told Radar.

The source continued to reveal that the new purchase is a “ranch-style spread on 1.49 acres” but that it is a “total tear-down”, which means that it needs complete renovation or to be bulldozed.

Balmain

Kim and Kanye need room for all their Balmain threads

Kim and the ‘Power’ rapper reportedly are keen to keep the area secluded and neighbour-free, but perhaps the new house is a good guest home for the extended family?

Radar recently reported that Kanye wants a bigger walk-in wardrobe than his wife in the 15,000 square foot mansion.

Why doesn’t that surprise us?

The family are expanding their new home

The Keeping Up With The Kardashians star and her hubby, who share one-year-old daughter North together, will move into their new home very shortly.

The mansion reportedly features “a games room, chef’s kitchen with separate breakfast room, formal dining room with two wall-mounted wine racks, maid’s quarters, office, library, fitness room with two separate areas for the sauna and spa, and private screening room, a pond on the front lawn, two pool areas with an additional spa, pergola, and a courtyard accessorised with a cascading water fountain.”

Seoul Court granted a warrant Tuesday to arrest Cho Hyun-ah, 40, citing concerns that she might destroy evidence or flee after she forced a plane to return to New York on Dec. 5

Former Korean Air Lines Co. Vice President Cho Hyun-Ah hides her face from the press upon arriving at the Seoul western district court office on December 30, 2014 in Seoul, South Korea.

 A South Korean court has approved the arrest of a former Korean Air Lines Co. executive who delayed a flight in what has widely been called "nut rage."

Seoul Western District Court said it granted a warrant Tuesday to arrest Cho Hyun-ah, 40, citing concerns that she might destroy evidence or flee.

She resigned as vice president of Korean Air amid public anger that she forced a plane to return to its gate in New York on Dec. 5 to remove the chief flight attendant because she was angry that macadamia nuts were served in a bag, not on a plate. Witnesses said she assaulted and insulted cabin crew members.

Cho resigned as vice president after it was reported she had delayed a flight from take off and insisted that the plane return to the gate after being served a package of macadamia nuts.The arrest comes as Korean Air faces government sanctions for allegedly trying to cover up the incident.

Kanye West wants Idris Elba to be next James Bond: 'A black Bond would be visionary'

The rapper has supported Idris to become Bond after Daniel Craig, saying the role "needs to be his"3304 Shares

He's got Kanye's backing

Kanye West has backed Idris Elba to become the first black actor to play James Bond, saying it would be "visionary".

Kim Kardashian's husband spoke out to support the actor, after he became the subject of a recent race row over the role.

US shock jock Rush Limbaugh stunned fans when he said Idris can't be Bond "because he's black," but the actor himself poked fun at the shock comment , posting a snap of himself on Instagram with the caption: "Isn't 007 supposed to handsome? Glad you think I've got a shot! Happy New year people."

Now he's got a supporter in rapper Kanye, who claims to be fairly close to him.

He told The Sun: "The movies he has been making are special, and when the role for James Bond comes up it needs to be his.

Nice comeback Idri

“James Bond is a role made for British actors and you won’t find a British actor who has the talent of Idris."To be honest you won’t find many anywhere who have his talent. Artists should be visionaries. A black James Bond would be visionary no doubt."He went on to say prejudices from 30 years ago should have been dropped by now, and it should be a "real possibility" for the star.Idris reportedly spoke highly of the musician in return, and told the newspaper he was thankful that Kanye has acknowledged his hard work

Should he be the next Bond?The hunky star - who achieved international fame in his role as Russell 'Stringer' Bell in HBO hit The Wire - is the front runner to eventually replace Daniel Craig as 007.But radio host Rush said on his show recently that he shouldn't have even been considered because of his skin colour, according to the Daily Mail newspaper."James Bond is a total concept put together by Ian Fleming. He was white and Scottish. Period. That is who James Bond is, was," he said."But now [they are] suggesting that the next James Bond should be Idris Elba, a black Briton, rather than a white from Scotland."That's not who James Bond is and I know it's racist to probably point this out."

Pictured: AirAsia flight QZ8501 'debris' photographed in sea off Indonesia

The striking images pictures were taken by a photographer on board a search aircraft 105 miles off the coast of Pangkalanbun

Wreckage? Is this object from Flight QZ8501
 These photographs show debris from what could be the      wreckage of Flight QZ8501.

The pictures were taken by a photographer from French news agency Agence France-Press from a search aircraft 105 miles off the coast of Pangkalanbun, Indonesia.

According to AFP, the items resemble a plane door and an emergency slide.

The debris was spotted by a search aircraft flying at an altitude of 500 feet off Pangkalanbun.

A helicopter is now being sent in to take a closer look, according to reports.

Jetsam: Has the wreckage of Flight QZ8501 been found?

Metro TV quoted Indonesian air force officer Dwi Putranto as saying: "10 bigger items and countless smaller items.

"These look like items that are not usually seen on sea surface."

A tweet from French news agency Agence-France Press's official account read: "#BREAKING Items resembling emergency slide, plane door seen in search for AirAsia flight #QZ8501: Indonesia."

The development came during the third day of the search for the vanished jetliner.

Ships and aircraft from Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore and Australia are scouring the Java Sea for any trace of the AirAsia plane, which disappeared on Saturday with 162 people on board.

The Airbus 320-200 had been flying from Surabaya, Indonesia, to Singapore when it vanished.

Weather conditions were poor in the Java Sea when the aircraft disappeared.

The man leading the search for Flight QZ8501 has said it is likely "at the bottom of the sea".

Indonesia's National Search and Rescue Agency chief, Bambang Soelistyo, said: "Based on the coordinates given to us and evaluation that the estimated crash position is in the sea, the hypothesis is the plane is at the bottom of the sea.

"That's the preliminary suspicion and it can develop based on the evaluation of the result of our search."

The vice-president of Indonesia also said there was a "huge possibility" that missing Flight QZ8501 had been in an accident .

Jusuf Kalla added: "The government is concerned and expresses its deepest condolences to the families of victims."

Breaking News: Vybz Kartel Has Escaped from prison After Gun Battle With Guards

 KINGSTON,JAMAICA- Reports from Jamaican officials indicate that Dancehall reggae artist Vybz Kartel has broken out of the Horizon adult remand Centre early this morning during an armed raid that left four officers dead and two in critical condition. Detectives from the Kingston central Police Department say the escape involved a large group of prisoners who used guns smuggled into the complex.

Vybz Kartel was apparently involved in the holding of guards at gunpoint, with several inmates swapping clothes with the guards to aid their escape. Investigator Dean Thomas Bates went on to say two female officers whose identities we can’t disclose because of the ongoing investigation, were working together in cahoots with Vybz Kartel.

Reports from officials say the women were smuggling not only drugs and cell phones but also guns in their private parts. Reports are still sketchy, but news sectors in Jamaica are reporting that the armed battle broke late last night and the prisoners were all ready for the perfect time to strike. Further reports are that Vybz Kartel Paid officials not to search his cell because he had too much contraband, but what they didn’t know was that he along with several other prisoners dug a huge hole in the wall that would later lead to their freedom or should I say escape.

No one seems to know what Vybz kartel and several other inmates were driving or who picked them up, but a large man hunt is now under way as some officials are now calling it the greatest escape ever in Jamaica. Officials also found a note addressed to his codefendant Shawn Storm and it read as follows: “Sorry My youth mi affi leave yuh, can deal wid dis know longah! Keep ya head up.”
