The Prime Minister said this is a terror attack, a dark moment for his country. What we feared ed ed ed ed has happened. Someone or someones went up to the airport area, detonated one device outside of the building. Someone else, apparently a suicide bomber inside the terminal, packed with morning commuters. People lining up to catch flights to other parts of europe and parts of the world. Near a starbucks, waiting to get coffee. Standing side by side, everyone with a backpack, suitcase or package, when the explosion the devastation is apparent for anyone who can see the images. At least 15 people confirmed killed. This is an area of an airport where you havent gone through security yet. You pull up in a car, get off a bus. One of our colleagues from msnbc said, he came up from a rail system beneath into the
Situations, this would be presecurity. Maybe some but not what we recognize when youre boarding a flight. A short time later, another soft target with little security, a metro train underneath the streets of busu el s brussels. Youre looking at video of the darkened tunnels where passengers were torresed edforced to evacuate the train after the bomb went off, maybe their way to safety and the area aboveground. To add context, brussels is the seat of the European Unions government. It has also become a hot bed for terrorist activity and planning, as we learned after the paris attack. The cell most of the attackers came from the neighborhood in brussels known as molenbeek. We just had the arrest of one of the parar suspects, Salah Abdeslam in the last few days.

Jurors because of their race. Foster was convicted of killing a 79yearold white woman by an all white jury. Well hear argument first this morning in case 148349, foster versus chapman. Mr. Bright. Mr. Chief justice and may it please the court. The prosecutors in this case came to court on the day of jury selection determined to strike all the black prospective jurors. Maybe you could address first the question we raised on friday with respect to which court certiorari i should be directed to . Yes, your honor, we filed this originally certiori to the Supreme Court of georgia. Of course this court in sirius versus upton issued certiori in 2010 of the georgia Supreme Court in a similar situation. It appears to us from looking at this over the weekend that r. J.

Theres probably a deep truth to that point, though it is not an assuring answer, but i would like to put it, danny put this question to with all respect to Prime Minister netanyahu. And danny im sure will have other questions as well. The, this institut
