As the investigation into Friday's terror attacks in Paris expands across not only France, but across Europe, more and more questions are arising.

France has already retaliated with air-strikes against targets in the main Daesh stronghold of Raqqa, and a key connection in the attacks is emerging in the Brussels suburb of Molenbeek.

23 arrests have been made so far, and there are new developments from minute to minute, so in today's Reality Check we look at five aspects of the attacks which represent some of today's main talking points.

• Catherine Field reports from Paris on the manhunt for the perpetrators of Friday's attacks and their accomplices.
