headquarters in brussels. francine: friday is the day that in belgium because it is the day salaam was arrested. are they linked? any firm do not have evidence, but the prosecutors in brussels say that is their main thing that they are investigating now, is what the connection is between the two attacks and if there is any some, and theh withrk -- any connection sol the slum. they have shut down the metro and the main train stations here, so we are headed back toward the lockdown situation here in brussels. want to do a quick correction. i mentioned delta 42. that is what the headline said. that is wrong. that is a puerto rico flight. leftis delta 43, which brussels and was diverted to jfk over from amsterdam. jones hayden, i look at what this will do and forever change brussels. what have you learned, as our bureau chief, since november of last year and the paris bombings? jones: i have learned that we are going to have to live with presence on the streets. that is not going to go away. when they first starte

flights into brussels. delta 80 atlanta to brussels is on the ramp and holding in brussels. they don't want to deplane these passengers because of the chaos and the security scene on the ground. so, those passengers who have been on the ground for several hours are staying on the ground. new york 42 new york to brussels has been departed to amsterdam. d.c. to brussels continued and landed at 7:01. that is a concern. that would suggest that those passengers may have been in the terminal that time of the explosion. you're looking at a shot there of flight aware. live air traffic control look at the traffic in and around brussels and the brussels airport being shut down. what you're seeing there are planes going over the top of brussels, but certainly not landing in brussels. united 999 newark to brussels has been, we are told rerouted to a remote location. i don't know if that's on the ramp in brussels or if that is another airport. a military airport or something. i simply don't know. that's united 999 safe and on the ground at this hour. one other point i would tell you that

brussels airport. that flights out of brussels have been canceled. it's still in the process of being evacuated from the departures hall where that took place. there were thousands of people taking flights this morning, leaving from the departure so the airport spokeswoman has said there were wounded. they have not put a number on that wounded and the federal police here have confirmed that at least one person has been killed. there are reports of a higher death toll but thus far nothing more is we're on our way to the airport right now and understand the highways heading there, this is about ten miles outside of brussels are or have been blocked so the authorities have set up a perimeter around the airport and police on the scene and know that the fire services have also been evacuated. the photos that we've seen coming from the airport show dark plumes of smoke rising from that terminal, so right now it's unclear exactly what happened in terms of motive, cause of these explosions but it comes at an e

do to brussels right now? >> reporter: well, fortunately for brussels, the city has had a lot of experience with this. they've been on lockdown very recently over the christmas and new year period. remember, authorities feared they would be another terror attack carried out on the metro. and they warned people not to use it. the system was shut down. the streets were empty. soldiers were on the streets. and an eerie silence came about the place, no attacks and people slowly returned to normal. so the city has in many ways almost been expecting this. and has had security services have had a lot of time to prepare for the potential of an attack in, a possible attack in more than one place. and we're hearing that some of these subway stations, including shoeman, which is next door to the european union buildings could be involved in these other reported explosions on the metro. of course this happened absolutely in the middle of rush hour, busiest time in the city center, and also one of the busiest times of day

now, just before i lost the about the mood in brussels and whether it's brussels or france or other european capitals, everyone is keenly aware of the fact that the next attack is coming but they do try to go about their normal lives. there is a sense of people being on edge and nervousness and inevitability but people do continue to try resiliently their normal lives but if you're in paris or brussels, you will see large numbers of police, security forces have been stepped up by the thousands since those attacks in november at the main tourist sites and sensitive targets like jewish facilities, jewish schools, jewish museums you will see the army out in the street so even if you're a tourist and having fun and taking pictures lurking in the background there is a heightened security presence that does remind you that this is -- these are countries, this is a continent that is still reeling from those nova tacks >> you know, as we speak there is a manhunt f f a suspect linked to that terrorist attack. can you tell uss a little about that and about just kind of what the sense is of where thing

is going on in brussels. brussels? you now have the airport shut ro stations have been shut down. and france and you mentioned a possibly an air traffic control strike, potential, going on in france which is obviously going to be another issue in terms of airlines. right now, the planes are being diverted from belgium. they are not allowed to land, obviously, these planes had been on the ground when these passengers were released. people are being told do not go to the airports. but with these unconfirmed reports of potential subway station explosions, this is shaking out into more than just the airport explosions and i know we tapped on potentially this isn't a terrorist attack because you never want to jump into that before it's been con confirmed but this has all the hallmarks of being a terrorist of sala-abdeselaw . and obviously, this is now coming out through other parts of the city. what does this do to feel of brussels? security? what does this do to brussels right now? >> well, fortunately for brussels, the ci

at the brussels airport. there have been two explosions injuring several people at the airport. one is confirmed dead. there may be reports of others others -- other casualties as a result of the two blasts that erupted this morning during the height of their rush hour around 8:00 a.m. hundreds packed into that airport at brussels to actually depart for flights and this blast is happening in the departure area. it is not confirmed as a terrorist action yet, but obviously as people continue to watch this it has all of the telltale signs that it is a possible terrorist attack. it comes four days after the arrest of terrorists. he had been involved in the terrorist attacks. the raid that took him captive happened four days ago and now this is happening. planes have been grounded and there are no flights coming in. rail service to and from the airport has been stopped. there was a bomb and we are getting reports from our sister station sky news and alex who has been on the ground indicating it was a bomb blast as

i know brussels well. brussels is a total mess. brussels is a -- i'm not talking about the attack today -- i'm talking about generally speaking, it's a city that used to be one of the finest, most beautiful and one of the safest cities in the world. now, it's a catastrophic, very dangerous city where the police have little control. >> it's too bad. >> what would you have done first as president of the united states if you got this call? >> well, as president, i would do probably what i would have been doing for the period of time that i was president. i would be very, very tough on the borders. i would be not allowing certain people to come into this country without absolute perfect documentation. we're allowing thousands of people already to come into our country. they don't have proper documentation. we don't know where they're coming from. they happen to come from, perhaps, syria, but nobody really knows. they have no idea of telling because they don't have the documentation. >> which people would you exclude? on what basis? how

brussels is that. attacking the general public and lifestyle situations and focus right now is will there be more attacks after this? what will be ringing clearly in everybody's minds is salah abdeslam, the paris attacker on the run, caught on friday, there was a suggestion he was planning more attacks. was this linked to that? so many strands to pull together. hopefully they are more organized after paris. they learned lessons from it. >> max, vrt, as miguel said, 13 people killed and 35 severely injured. the positive of multiple attacks, and possibly the event at the metro station. local media reporting an explosion at the metro station. that is the new pattern post paris, right? the one-two punch multiple explosions to really cripple a city. >> reporter: military style operations like paris, attackers working together with a plan. one went along with the attacks as it was unfolding. could this be one of those? up until paris, they were looking at lone wolf attacks like sydney with someone radicalize

brussels is in lock down now. rail stations, the airport, rams, buses, all shutting down for fear of a further attack around just aftft 8:00 a.m. local time. we first heard reports o some kind of an explosion at the airport and then we began to get the pictures of windows blown out and debris around. it was becoming clear quickly not killed and we now believe 13 have been killed at the airport. reports then began to emerge that there were perhaps two explosions at the airport and quickly followed by reports of anotherxplosion at a metro station not far away from the european union building. bronchusels is the capital of europe. it's thelace where european government business is conducted. that metro station was in the place where many of the paris attackers came from back in november last year. so concerns very quickly raised, savannah, that this was not an accident. that this was another attack in the heart of europe and a substantial one. one that appeared t have been coordinated. >> let's put this in perspectiv

this happened days after salah abdeslam was arrested in brussels. let's go to alastair jamieson who has been following this as well. we talked about the first explosion at 8:00 a.m. followed by the second one at 8:30. besides the optics of a coordinated attack or coordinated explosions by whoever may have been responsible, have question gotten any indication from the federapolice or the belgium government they're labelling this as a multiple coordinated terrorist attack? >> reporter: nothing yet. the authorities haven't said that, we do expect them to be giving an update on the situation in the coming hour. but at the moment, nothing is confirmed about a link between these two. but, you know, very clearly, it follows the hallmarks of other similar coordinated attacks that have taken place, all were being prepared. we know from the intelligence gathered by authorities in brussels at these previous raids that this is -- that, you know, an attack in more than one place is exactly what terror cells have been planning to carry out. but at the moment, no

the brussels airport. it is a main portel from europe and amsterdam is the center for a lot of jewish activity in belgium. so the brussels airport is a main gateway for people leaving brussels and headed to tel aviv. >> stay right there. this is breaking news out of brussels belgium where 13 people have been killed. multiexplosions. we'll rejoin our coverage right now. >>> good morning, everyone. it's 6:30 on the west coast. several explosions rocking belgium. two at the airport and at least one in the metro system in downtown brussels. we know that at least 13 people have been killed. we have seen footage like this of people trying to get out of the airport and the subway stations. images like that right there of extensive damage at the departures hall or the departures terminal at brussels airports. what we know right now is one explosion took place in the curb side check in area. we have been told that was a suicide explosion. another, this one here inside the departures terminal where hundreds if not t

neighborhood in central brussels. a bit run down in places. this has been a hotbed of islam islamic extremism. from that area in brussels. so we're not just talking about belgium itself that has been attacked. we're talking about the paris attacks and others. >> yeah, charlie, we are learning now at least from a.p. is reporting that there were several injuries at the explosion -- at the metro station which is near the eu. we're also hearing from american reports, cbs news has yet to confirm, but there had been some reports that the explosion, at least one of the explosions, at the airport occurred near or around the american airlines desk. american airlines has issued a statement saying that all of their employees and contractors are accounted for. so among those injured, among those injured or killed, at least, american airlines is saying that none of their employees are part of that, but there have been injuries at the metro station as well. can you remind us a little more about the suspects that brussels authoritie

brussels? >> i think what happened last week when these arrest happened, people were extremely shocked. things had kind of settled down here. there had been a sense that maybe salah abdeslam, this man who was on the run, had maybe fled to syria. things had really calmed down from the height of the security threat back in november. so people were extremely shocked when the first raid happened last wednesday and then when the arrest of abdeslam happened on friday. now, there's been -- i mean, maybe i'm being a bit critical, but not self-congratulatory, but there was a sense of relief by the police that they successfully got their man, if you like. and there's been a lot of interviews by a lot of senior politicians thanking the police. and maybe people got slightly complacent. the public got maybe complacent about this. we do have to remember the interior minister on monday warned that the country was on high alert for some kind of a

before the first pitch, a moment of silence for brussels. president obama said he never thought of not going. >> you want to be respectful and understand the gravity of the situation, but the whole premise of terrorism is to try to disrupt people's ordinary lives. >> reporter: at the game, obama and castro, despite their differences, just two fans sharing a national pastime, almost catching a wave. in the stands of lineups of big hitters, dave winfield, derek jeter, plus key players on the national security roster morning at the u.s. ambassador's residence, a secure call to belgium's prime minister. >> this is yet another reminder that the world must unite. >> reporter: and this from the first lady. >> we are outraged and heartbroken over the horrific attacks today in belgium. >> reporter: tonight raul castro saw the obamas off at the airport, the president sticking to his scheduled next stop, a state visit in argentina. andrea mitchell, nbc news, havana. >> reporter: i'm hallie jackson, the images from brussels, like paris and san bernardin

brussels time 3 a.m. on the east coast, two explosions in rapid succession which killed at least 13 people at the brussels airport. three dozen injured. a separate he can explosion, at least one separate explosion in now the entire country on the highest state of alert warning of imminent attacks, franc in a state of emergency extended, britain has also raised their level to severe right now across europe, fear after these explosions in belgium. this morning, abc's chief global affairs anchor martha raddatz with me as well and we can expect the convening of the national security team this morning. >> reporter: certainly can. american authorities across the agencies here in washington are going to be coming together to try to figure out what we can do next. they'll be coordinating with their european counterparts to try to share intelligence, see if anything is planned for here, but obviously what we've seen here this morning, george, is no matter how much attention you put on this, no matter how hard you

in brussels. in addition to that, there are injuries. ryan, we will come back to you throughout the program as we get details. in the meantime, let me update you on what is happening elsewhere. there is plenty of news going on. we wait for the markets to open the focus on what is happening with the story in brussels. the futures looking still a little light. at this point, they seem to be pricing much in the realms of terrorist attacks at this stage. we do not have details of what is happening. the market is look -- the market looks like it is wait and see mode. here is with the roman often. kumutha: -- here is to move the roman often. agreed: now a judge has to cancel a court hearing set for today over the price -- over the case. the justice department suggested a third-party has suggested a way to access the phone's data. apple says it has no information about the claims. meanwhile, apple has unveiled a new, smaller iphone. it seeks to jump start the sale of its flexing product by upgrade -- by

certainly in brussels, given that we had the brussels lockdown and the heightened terror level around about november when the paris attacks happened. people are in shock that this happened unlike previous brussels attacks the targets were very much a broader stroke of targets. so people at the airport, people on trains. i think people are shocked that this is finally seeming to get the average, everyday belgian, as well as the people who may for example, journalists and others who have been attacked in previous cases. >> to affect and scare the average everyday person. what can you tell us about the area where this happened? the train was actually -- the train blast occurred is in the center of tune. it is where the european institutions, the european commission and the european council are located one stop away from those places. within roughly a 500 meter walk. on the other side of rue de la loi is the center where the u.s. embassy is. there are several embassies around the station. so this is right in the heart of the quart erer where you've got diplomats, eu folks in general. so i

if brussels under attack. here are the facts. of these two explosions at the airport, reports of another three additional explosions around the city including a metro station. at least 23 people are dead, dozens more injured according to sky news. flights have been suspended and the public transportation system is shut down. reports say this is like a terrorist attack. [inaudible] maria: belgian prime minister calling on people to stay where they are. the terrorist alert raised maximum. in the meantime, french president is holding a meeting on the attack. we'll bring you developments through the morning. we are covering the breaking news which is happening this morning. herewith me, "the wall street journal" editor in chief, jerry baker. there are several "wall street journal" but porters on the scene which we will go through. good to see you. thank you for joining us. the very latest on the breaking news reports this morning about 25 explosions in the city of brussels killing at least 23 people this morning, injuring dozens more

in brussels. they are on their highest terror alert after a bombing killed dozens of people and injured hundreds. in london, i am mark barton. this is a special edition of "bloomberg markets" -- terror in europe. scarlet: if you look at the reaction we have been seeing, you are seeing a shift into safe haven assets like gold and treasuries. it is not as extreme as you would have thought, waking up at 6:00 a.m. they do not seem to be reacting too much to the events that happened early this morning in the u.s. and 8:00 a.m. in belgium. let's go to mark barton for a sum up with the european trade looks like. mark: travel and ledger have been the worst performing. these are all 19 industry groups. earlier today, all 19 were lower. 4 are higher. the indexes off of the lows, of 1%, leaving us to believe that stocks are proving resilient to terrorist attacks ,s they have been after 2011 london in 2005, and charlie hebdo of last year. this proves the travel and leisure index. this is when the charlie hebd

now i'm seeing official word from the brussels metro, the brussels subway system they are shutting down the whole system. all metro stations are closing across brussels. that follows reports of three explosions at three different metro stations in the heart of the capital. very symbolic areas next to the seat of the european union and of the belgian government. >> a big deal, everybody. we're getting these reports of additional explosions. local media reporting them at several metro stations within the city of brussels this coming after those two explosions that took place at the airport roughly about 8:00, i'd say, local time there in brussels. brussels is five hours ahead of us right now because of daylight saving time normally it would be six. so, alex at this point they've they have shut down the metro station. i could just imagine this is a city that is just in the throes of a lot of angst right now. >> reporter: well, absolutely. imagine in the u.s. in d.c. or philadelphia or new york shutting down the main airport and shutting down the subway station. that would absolutely wreak

brussels time. so you would think that folks that are set for this 9:40 flight could have been in that area, where that explosion occurred with set to live in philadelphia at 1:40. there are six other flights set to leave this morning coming into newark, liberty and four flights set to come into jfk. so those ten flights among all of the flights that before canceled in and out of the brussels this morning, comes without saying, that extra time, give yourself extra time for security if you are heading down, especially in international travel. now if you think you may have a loved one or a family member or a friend traveling, american airlines has offered a phone number, which you can call, to check on anyone, again, not all of these flights were american, just as 751 was american airlines flight set to leave this morning. schuylkill in the bad at all, looking good into downtown. they will work later on today westbound on the schuylkill, right here near montgomery drive at around 9:00 o'clock. if you

they are arriving in downtown brussels. as you would expect, moving at great haste across the countryside tahelp pull up the main city center of the capital there. so, of course where the european is and then down through the brussels, belgian government offices. by the way, the u.s. embassy is not far that either. guys, back to you. >> they have been told to shelter in place. u.s. embassy officials are okay, no reported injuries among them. >> it goes without saying, but i'll say it anyway. in a story like this as it unfolds we'll start to get more and more images from the scenes of these explosions either images or from individuals who have taken pictures with their cell phones. we are going to be very careful in deciding what to put on the air and we'll warn you because, obviously, a lot of those images that we may see are going to be extremely graphic. >> that's right. >>> let's turn to richard engel and always a wealth of information about the context on a day like this. richard, what more can you add? >> i can tell yo

flights into brussels, delta 80, atlanta to brussels, is on the ramp and holding in brussels. they don't want to deplane the passengers because of the chaos and security scene on the the passengers who have been on the grounu for several hours are staying on the ground. delta flight 42, new york to brussels, has been diverted to amsterdam. nunt united 950 landed at 7:01. that would suggest the passengers may have been in the terminal at the time of the explosion. you're looking at a shot there, live air traffic control look at the traffic in and around brussels. the brussels airport being shut down. what you're seeing there are planes going over the top of brussels but certainly not landing in brussels. uned 999, newark to brussels, has been, we are told, rerouted to a remote location. i don't know if that's on the ramp in brussels or another airporor a military airport or something. i simply don't know. that's unitedd 999. safe and on the ground at this hour. one other point, i would tell airport has just advised us that because of the concerns about the conpossibility of ano

brussels is a disaster. they have areas of brussels police won't go into the areas they're so dangerous and radicalized. i'm saying, you have -- we have to be smart and we have to be vigilant. >> if you were president, mr. trump, what -- how would you question salah abdeslam, one of the ring leaders of the paris attacks, who was arrested the other day in brussels. >> that's the man i'm talking about, arrested in an area that everybody knew he was there but didn't turn him in. the muslim community did not turn him in. and they should have turned him in. and right now we have a lot of people, a lot of people think he may have led the attack, he may have been the one that did the attack, or done in ret dugs. what i would do, i would -- look we have to change our law on you know on the waterboarding thing, where they can chop off heads and drawn people in cages and heavy steel cages and we can't water board. we have to change our laws and we have to be able to fight at least on almost equal basis. we have laws t

i know brussels well, and brussels is a total mess. talking about the attack today, i'm talking about generally speaking -- the city used to be one of the finest, one of the most beautiful and one of the safest cities in the world. now, it's a catastrophic, very dangerous city where the police have little contntl. >> let me take you back to my question. >> it's too ba >> what would you have done first as president of the united states if you got this call? >> well, as president, i would do probably what i would have been doing for the period of time that i was president. i'd be very, very tough on the borders, and i would be not allowing certain people to come into this country without absolute perfect documentation. we're al@owing thousands of people already, matt, to come they don't have proper we don't know where they're they happen to be in the migration. they happen to come from perhaps syria, but nobody really knows. they have no idea of telling because they don't have the dock yult -- documentation. >> which people would you exc

>> reporter: savannah, brussels is in lockdown. they've closed the metro system, the trams t buses, the airport saying all airport operations today have been suspended. so we are seeing once again in brussels and we saw this after the paris attacks when they realized many of those who from the brussels area, the same kind of panic and fear sweeping across that city. remember, the capital of europe, the place where european government happens, that is what is now happening across that city. one of the explosions said to have happened near european union building. but, as you mentioned, they have been bracing themselves for something like this for some time. salah abdbdlam who was arrested on friday, they fofod him because they raided a property on tuesday last week and unexpectedly came across a them. one was killed. salah abdeslam escaped. it was from there they were able to track him down and finally before tuesday, though, they simply did not know where he was. i'm afraid what's happening today is going to raise serious questions

more update for brussels. at least 30 people were killed this morning by two explosions at the brussels airport. and then another at a subway station near the european union's headquarters. now no one has claimed responsibility at this time. but officials are calling this a terror attacks. more than 100 other people were injured, possibly including two americans. brussels remains under lockdown this morning while police search for more bombs around the city. france's prime minister says europe is, in his words, at war. president obama is expected to speak about the attacks from havana in a little more than an hour from now. we, of course, will bring you his comments live in a special report. >>> for many of you we're going the terror attacks in belgium. please tune in to all of our cbs news networks. also be sure to tune in to the pelley." and watch our 24 hour digital news network cbsn. your body is a finely tuned instrument. diarrhea can throw it out of rhythm. imodium multi symptom relief combines two power

local time in brussels. about 3 a.m. here on the east coast, want to bring in our former white house count counterterrorism adviser and matt olsen. dick, let me pick up on something i was talking to martha about. we have salah abdeslam in custody right now. the europeans have him in custody right now. what more can they be doing to get more information from him about these attacks and the connection he may or may not have had to them? >> well, george, i think it's highly likely he was arrested he knew these attacks were being planned and certainly knew the identities probably of the cell because after he was arrested, the belgian police and interior minister said two things, one, we're anticipating attacks coming in the very near future and, two, the cell network is much bigger than we thought it was. so he said something or they found materials in the apartment that they raided that indicated something. they, of course, like us on to the obama administration they're torture in my opinion at least doesn't work anyway. th
