1. France is reeling in the wake of horrific terror attacks
President Francois Hollande called the spate of terror attacks that unfolded across Paris, in the deadliest violence the city has seen since World War II, an "act of war" by the Islamic State.

She will face former world boxing champion Holly Holm (9-0 MMA, 2-0 UFC) during the main event in Melbourne, Australia. . The main fight card begins at 10 p.m. ET, and Rousey's fight will be the last of five bouts to be held on the card. Rousey, whose career is not without controversy, is a heavy favorite. Whatever the outcome, Rousey says after the fight she's going to "disappear" for a while and focus on some of her films.
