Shortly afterwards a third explosion at the metro station which has close the e. U. Main building. We just heard from the foreign secretary philip hammond. This is what he has to say.

Obouslin orati forhe serityorcein brussels, but no doubt an International Element to it. Security has been heightened. The airports in paris, but sealed the airport was said publicly any airport across europe wasnt hiding security in the wake of what happened in brussels. The belgians have raised their level now to the highest level possible. A minute or had his habitat given what happened in brussels. What we are seeing so far as attacks on an airport in at least one mattress nation. Near the European Institution brussels being attacked as well. The european governments and Security Forces are looking at what is happening in brussels and will be sorting out inaddret levels. If sistersinlaw mixed a related and theres no confirmation yet. No claim from any group. No real confirmation this is a terror attack, but if it is Islamic State, it seems to be a new level of soft targeting, to go into an airport and carry out the suicide bombing before you go through security. Airports across europe covert security and driving to the airport. Nothing battle for. This has clearly been able to happen to write the covert security and the concern is this could be a new notice, a new mission object to permit the group market and airport which is a whole new Security Risk for airports across europe and the world. Thank you lets bring in our correspondent at Brussels Airport to his bare as the drama exploded. Talk us through what you experienced. We were at the airport for a 9 30 flight. Weve gone through, checked our bags and come and gone through security and just got into the dutyfree area when we heard. My initial thought for a clear time and exactly what its building. We could smell the explosions as well. I say try to head tourists were the sounds came from, we saw a number of people coming out looking very distressed. One woman was running ahead. Regular confucian, people did not know what was going on. I think most people initially couldnt comprehend it, but very quickly arrived to the conclusion that it was a terrorist. What has happened since then is theyve moved out of the airport. The building has been evacuated. Initially taken away from the building at south. We are now at the edge of the airport, still inside the airport grounds. I can see the Main Building itself no. The buildings have been blasted out. Weve seen a number coming in the last 20 minutes. I would say five coming in and being closed off. Ambulances and medical teams coming in. Not many information coming out on the ground in terms of the number of casualties as has been accomplished on the ground that it is a terrorist attack and all the other indicators to suggest it has been in a terrorist. Remember a terrorist attack captured not that far from where russells. They were still up lurch. During the past week from the Security Services turned a number of weapons and found explosives and explosive devices as well. You could only assume that there would have been others to carry out terrorist atrocities that they didnt manage to get ahold of. No confirmation of that at this stage. Just looking at the clouds coming out of the airport, a certain amount of calm amongst passengers air as they were evacuated from the building. Called and shocked. People were shocked. A lot of people dont know how to react when Something Like this happens. This is a very frightening people. There could yet another attack. Heres the sirens. Quite a number of casualties inside. Pretty calm. People very, very shocked here. There isnt much on the ground as what we should do, where they should go. The priority of the airport and the plan which wouldve had contingency for this type of event to get people outside. Initially we were told to leave our hand luggage inside. Only a few people giving out constructions. More people taking luggage with them for obvious reasons. There were going to be more attacks for an alternative broadband. In terms of security, we have been at level three for some time, and it was being ramped up to level four. We indicated this morning lots of soldiers with weapons in the case as well. The airport is extremely easy. To terrorist attacks, and they go through a security process. It is a terrorist attack which we clearly think it is now. They wouldve just walked into the airports and carry out the attacks. There is no Security Intelligence tried to get on the plane and then of course we would be familiar with the process. Put your back through the xray machines and you have to show your boarding pass and go through some scanners. That was kind of the process after that. To get into the initial bit of the airport there is no security at all. You can just walk in. Lauren belgium is under attack after two blasts at their main airport, the Brussels Airport at 8 00 a. M. Local time. That is the rush hour there in europe. We have word that the master station so shut down. Air travel across europe is suspended at this time. More reaction right now to these explosions and reports of other exoceans outside the city from foxs terrorism expert while these forests. An adviser to donald trump, we did want to point this out. This is all happening for days after the abreast of Salah Abdeslam, the mastermind behind the november 13 paris terror attacks. This dude looks like a coordinated terror attack. Definitely a coordinated attack come a very strategic attack at the International Airport, not just belgium as we have mentioned already. But the European Union and now we understand there was an attack with the european parliament. This cd is under threat. The problem is to realize there is a connection between those attacks and the rest of the head of the network. So this is what investigators have been knocking out right now. No doubt. We see the terror panic and i tried to keep it under control and evacuating shutting down the master system. On high alert at maximum security number four, which means in this thread. Tell us what they are doing now to prepare around the city for this type of event. Now, Law Enforcement and National Security agency and the ropean Capital First of all are worried about the day. The day is not over. They have explosions at the airport. Then there is one reporter. So as long as there is a threat of possible war activities that heidi terrorist, did you see a lot of movement. Theres a deployment of special units reported to us. Butcher of my attention this information which im not sure is yet on national tv here, but at least it is in brussels in europe is the fact that we have to confirm that of course. But detectives have captured three suicide class at the airport. That is very important information. If we can confirm that later because that means the attack may have been prepared to be a much bigger one. Nicole to repeatedly said, deployments said, deployment of special units of the capture or possibly three suicide vests. Three suicide vests potentially found. This couldve been a far wider attack. Let me make a distinction could the deployment of units is happening around the parliament. Thats normal. The explosion that took place is the area of the european commission. Thats one thing reported already from brussels. But the specific information ive obtained, to be confirmed as authorities there in person at the airport have discovered three suicide vests and they have disconnected them. We are waiting for them to be confirmed. Lauren thank you for bringing that to our attention, transfixed. Brussels is the political hub of europe and very much a center of jihadi extremists. We have nato. Just come and is a combination of washington and new york and europe in a sense we have most of the two shoes are in brussels and also the command of nato. This is the capital of the west. So its very symbolic when jihadi activities take place against the city. Nicole tell us how people now should act in the next coming days as they travel around europe. We know several flights up and disrupt dead that were headed into brussels. The next 24 hours. I can tell you one thing. The next six to 12 hours or chaos, sheer chaos. You can imagine how many flights have been canceled, how many flights rerouted to other locations. This is paralyzing the skies over europe, over western europe. Remember, Brussels Airport is a connection also to north america flight coming from africa mostly goes through brussels. We are talking about a major coming major problem. Lauren walid ,com,com ma would you make of the reports that the two blasts happened at the American Airlines ticket desk, that counter. Does that suggest the u. S. Couldve been additional target as well . We need to get information from the multiple agencies. The searches made by pronouncing the name of American Airlines, this is the target. This is where it took place. My question would be going further, with the operation aimed at that location because they wanted to gain in some explosions in the airport which i doubt because theres layers of security. If the name of American Airlines was likely could have been a target. What would you expect to hear from some authorities . This has been going on now for roughly an hour or so. This comes on the heels of the capture of the later in the paris attack from november 13, hearing about obviously the airport with the roadway. Went to the authorities stepped up and try and bring a sense of calm . And what would you expect that they shed . First of all, they are worried about what they call the continuous support to. The minute they see a serious attack against the airport or another in downtown, the first being they think about this first of all we have to shut down parts of the city. To deter other attacks. They are worried its not over. And then they will worry how to process all the people you see on the screen here who are traveling to different locations and worry also about the metro station and train station system. Imagine that across brussels. That would basically be between paris and amsterdam. Brussels is a real help in western europe had lauren David Cameron will be chairing a Cabinet Meeting on this event in brussels and i brussels and that will happen later this morning. Well watch for that to get more clarity about what is unfolding right now in russells and on your television screen. To talk about the strategic nasa brussels, belgium is between france and germany. The stock markets are down significantly this morning in relation to this blast. Obviously, people are scared to fly. We see incident after incident, mostly across europe to travel stocks are getting hit. People are nervous. What does this do to regular People Living in the west . This is really going to stand a wave of concern here. This is an International Air toward. These explosions and if you are an individual opinion of plans to fly before hearing from the authorities. And then we look at the streets in downtown brussels. This is the busiest week in brussels. We see an explosion there, people taking ambulances. We saw pictures from downtown brussels. Bourassa looking at pictures from the airport and just to bring our viewers up to date, the dow futures had been down roughly 70. Theyve come up as well as down about 45 right now. Oil is lower, gold is gaining. For though should we be looking at . Is there anything we are missing . Actually cannot authorities in my view with the now very act to this is something on tv. If they have information from individuals arrested days ago, other information. Lauren is that this is when they go when on the other cells they been watching quietly, this is when they go win and say im coming to get you now because we see that there is something developing and these are a series of attacks. Exactly. At this point in time, the government in brussels, as i said earlier, there is a major now happening in brussels and that status to other potential styles. Usually they would observe them and monitor them. But in attacks like these, there could be other areas operations to either monitor further or block the potential cells from the inactivated. This is a new situation. We havent seen anything like that in brussels before. Lauren walid phares, fox news terrorism expert. Thank you for spending a chunk of the show with us this morning. Nicole if youre just tuning in, two explosions ripping through the airport in brussels this morning. Belgian media say at least 13 people have been killed at the airport, dozens of others injured. Another explosion at the measures they should need e. U. Headquarters and reports say at least 10 people were killed in that blast. All of this comes just days after the key suspect in the paris attack, Salah Abdeslam, was arrested in that city. Lets listen in now to our sister network, sky news. This is exactly what theyre trying to force us to do and im not prepared to go down that route. Thank you for joining us on sky news this morning. As weve been speaking, britains committee will meet today to talk about what has happened. Also, a message has gone out to people in brussels. People in belgium are being urged to stay where they are, not to go out, not to go to crowded areas and the advice here in the u. K. Come advice in all u. K. Citizens to avoid crowded areas at the belgian authorities on railway stations, metro stations in brussels has been closed down and no flights going in and out at the airport. In the studio, Police Officer chris hobbs. Chris, this is the authoritys worst nightmare. A large event is something that can airport and followup events we heard this one blast at the metro station, the latest figures are correct to 15 people couldve died. What are the authorities on the ground doing now . At the moment they will put as many resources as they possibly can into the area. They want to secure the area. They want to secure whatever evidence they can. They will be looking eagerly at cctv tapes and gather enough intelligence and evidence. They want to keep you posted as they they can as well as evacuating people out and again after the fact, old, went to been injured. Its a typical situation. Something that worked extensively with a jamaican airports in the something thats always concerned us, the fact that airports were so vulnerable, what we call the landslide areas that you have to go through security to go air side, but the lan side securities, collects from bronze to someone wanted to come in here either as an active shooter or with an improvised explosive device, they could do so so easily. It is something that is worried as for many years. The nightmare has become a reality. The question is, you asked what to do about about it . How do we make the airports more secure . It is something that is worried people throughout the world and now its happened in the question is how we respond to it. The response from the airport is to increase security but much more visible Police Presence and other airports in the u. K. And across europe, paris and france with an increase in rent for security in his presence. But what can be done to implement security screening and push the problem further out to the next perimeter because people are always accused. Thats right. Its going to be very difficult to screen the bags are screened people. One thing that worries us is the actual Police Presence because what you need his eyes and ears on the ground and was sometimes you get is the fact that the police are very thinly spread your dc10. You know they are there. There is no Police Presence at all and that is something theyre going to have to look at. Going to have to look at increasing boots on the ground in terms of Police Officers. People come into airports looking to do mischief, lists are comfortable in his eyes upon them. At the moment at our airports we dont have that and the cutbacks to policing are only contributing to an increased sense of security. What about metro stations youre in the u. K. . What can be done to make them safer . Again, talking about Police Presence on the ground, educated staff to look after anything suspicious. As soon as been trained to vote for a suspicious to restrict certain passengers tends to be when they are passing through from one site to go through security. The certain characteristics of course is the stepping onto the plane. The problem you have is people going into the railway stations are going into the airports. They certainly increase security at rail stations now. You often see detection dogs were sniffing dog sleeping through the railway station. Even there, there is concern weeks ago i was being told they are thinking of cutting back on detection dogs, which is absolutely incredible. That was one of the river sweeping through the police because of cup tax, cutting back on detection dogs looking for bombs. Probably not those numbers will be increased and that is Something Else that is provided defense against explosive devices perhaps as weve just seen. Lauren lets bring in dr. Sebastian corker, Counter Terrorism expert and the author of defeating jihadi. Good morning. If youve been listenin
