Paris Attacks, Taxi Strikes and Christmas in Leicester.

Start your day with the latest news and updates, with Jim and Jo at breakfast.

France enters a third day of mourning on Monday, as details continue to emerge about some of the 129 people killed in the Paris attacks on Friday. The gun and bomb attacks - which killed 129 and left more than 350 wounded - have been claimed by so-called Islamic State militants.

One of the seven attackers -- who hit a concert hall, a major stadium, restaurants and bars -- has been identified, as the French police investigation picks up pace. The French airforce has also been in action on Sunday night Syria, where we're told that French jets have bombarded IS targets in the city of Raqqa, a stronghold of the group.
Here in Leicester, over a hundred people gathered at the Clock Tower on Sunday evening, to hold a vigil in memory of the victims of the attacks. Throughout the programme we'll hear more of the stories of those affected by Friday night's attacks, as well as the latest news and analysis as it comes to us.

Now, thousands of you will have no doubt witnessed the amazing scenes last week as Leicester came together to celebrate Diwali...
Well, now it's time to start thinking about Christmas!
And Monday saw the launch of Leicester's big Christmas calendar of events - and we're being promised something bigger and better than before.

Also in the show, we look at how taxi drivers in Leicester are set to carry out their second rush-hour "go slow" protest in three days, in a bid to stop the introduction of a new council penalty scheme.
