in brussels. some witnesses say that they heard shops before these explosions. way haven't had that confirmed yet. one person has been confirmed dead and several others injured. belgian media say the airport is being evacuated. flights have been stopped and trains to the area are also not allowed. our correspondent was talking about now brussels is at the center of europe. let's bring in jacky rowland. y have neve, with belgium being at the center of the europe, it makes it an easy place for fighters to gain access to other countries. that's one of the concerns of security services. we've lost both correspondents. in the last hour or so we have heard of two explosions at an airport in brussels, close to the suburbs there, very busy airport, feeding much of europe. we're hearing at this stage that one person has been confirmed dead and that many more are injured in the departures lounge. two explosions. apparently shots were fired beforehand, but we can't confirm that yet. explosions were so large

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, 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 confirmed. 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 few days after eight

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

coming after the two explosions that took place at the airport about 8:00 in brussels, and brussels is five hours ahead of time, normally six. they have shut down the airport and shut down the metro station. i can just imagine this is the city in the throws of a lot of angst right now? >> reporter: yeah, emergency tk would be shutting down new york. the russians shut down six stops on the metro because they wanted to isolate it and keep everything going, and now europeans are taking a lot more precautions than that and we are seeing that right now. the belgiu belgiums shutting do stations. so right now, the only way to get around this city is by car, by bus. we have not heard yet what is happening with the railway system, but when you are shutting down the subway system of a major european city, that means there are strong fears of attacks and possible more attacks to come. >> in the time you have been reporting in brussels with the recent events have you seen anything like this where clos e closures like this have occurred or you would -- >> reporter: could you repeat that? >> i wa

now i'm seeing official word from the brussels metro, the brussels bway system they are shutting down the whole system. all metro stations are closing across brussels. that follows reports of three explosions at three different memeo stations in the heart of the capital. very symbolic areasext 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 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 shut down the airport. they have shut down the metro station. i cocod 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. thatat would absolutely wreak havoc. i r

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

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

we have continuing coverage of the explosions that have up had in brussels at the brussels airport. we have confirmation, media is saying that there were two explosion at the airport in brussels and unconfirmed reports there's explosions in the subway stations in brussels. the thousands of people have been evacuated from the airport. this happened roughly a little after 8:00 a.m. local time on a tuesday morning in brussels as people were checking in to the international departure area, departure hall 1 of the brussels airport. we did have eyewitness accounts of what had happened. apparently the explosions went off, glass was flying in the front area. it was a lot of panic as the people did not know what was going on. obviously with two explosions emergency crews are on the scene. fire department are on the scene. and the thousands of people have been taken outside of the airport. they have been evacuated. the airport has been shut down. the metro has also been shut down through brussels and the ministry has elevated the alert level to four which is the highest, the maximum alert lev

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

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

ben: breaking news out of brussels, belgium, a couple explosions tore through the brussels airport, departure hall and metro station killing several people, injuring dozens more. robert moses is following the situation in the newsroom. >> reporter: bad news to tell you about. the death toll has risen according to belgian media. 13 people have been killed, 35 severely wounded. that is the word from belgian media. i want to look at sky news. this shows you the scenes, on the left at 8:00 this morning local time, two explosions ripped through the brussels airport, specifically the departures hall by the american hundreds of people were checking in for their flights. there are reports that shots were fired and there was yelling in arabic immediately preceding airport. people could be seen walking away from there, dazed with blood covering their body. an hour after those explosions at the airport which you are seeing now, and our after those explosions, there was another explosion in downtown brussels at the train station, several people are believed to have been injured in that explosion. that st

the brussels airport. you have been there throughout the morning. we have seen these pictures and these arresting images, what have investigators learned since you have been there? >> well, what happened here this morning is that shortly, or just around 8:00 p.m. two explosions went off inside the departure hall of the airport. very busy at 8:00 a.m. lots of people flying in and out of brussels in the heart of the european union here. one of the witnesses i spoke to that was very close to the blast that he heard somebody shouting in arabic just before but i don't think that's been confirmed by the investigators. the situation is very fluid. as your colleague just said there's house searches going on throughout brussels and obviously 30 minutes after the first blast here at the airport there was another big explosion at the metro stop. it's the part of town where a lot of the paris attackers lived. it's a subway station right next to the european commission and next to the european council where all the eu

there have no trains coming into brussels at this point. none leaving brussels either. we know there were several nbc news crews that were headed from different bureaus in that part of the world. they will likely be stopped because of euro star in particular, they shut down. fair to assume that some of these other regional rail systems will be closing, as well. >> and we did hear from american and i remembers, appaerptsrentl of the two blasts happened near the american airlines check-in desk. so a spokesperson did release a statement saying they are a wafrt incident and that their customers, employees and contractors have all been taken care of. and at this time, all their employees and contractors are accounted for. we also have heard from the u.s. embassy in belgium, we know that they are telling their citizens to shelter in place. this of course as eu officials and workers also being told to stay in their offices or to stay home after an explosion at an eu building which was near one of the metro stations. reports of smoke coming out of the buildings. >> we want to l

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
