was felt to be a be skilled bomb make are. his dna was found on the brussels as well as the paris attacks. salah abdeslam perhaps was meant to be part of the be brussels attacks. there is a noticeable increase in security in brussels, at some metro stations, police have been checking bags before letting passengers enter. this is above all an exercise in building confidence, and feelings of security. but as long as suspects are still on the run, the threat continues. jacky rowland, al jazeera,

brussels. >> turkish presidential recep tayyip erdogan said, ibrahim el bakraoui was arrested near the syrian border last summer. be erdogan said his country deported him. >> translator: despite our warnings that this person was a terrorist fighter, authorities could not locate him. >> belgian security services and other western intelligence agencies had advance and precise intelligence warnings that the airport and subway were being targeted for attacks. a mixup by be a taxi

dispatcher, left an explosive device behind, security services later defused it. we're learning more about the victims of tuesday's attacks. belgium's foreign minister said people from 40 countries were affected. as paul brennan reports from brussels, many families are waiting to hear from relates still unaccounted for. >> reporter: the dead and wounded from the brussels bombings come from all over the world. they range in age from infant children to elderly pensioners. adelma was the first identified victim. she was with her husband and their twin daughters, they survived. >> translator: she had twins. they were in brussels airport too. they were connecting through new york to meet my sister. in the end that attack stopped that destiny. we didn't know much about what was happening her, her body,

where did the brussels state take it. >> reporter: 19-year-old mason wells was in paris, during the attacks. this time he didn't escape. >> it was a miracle he made it through as easily as he did with lower leg and shrapnel minor burns. >> 16 of the victims are being treated at the local hospital, two are ages 5 and 3. those in the icu, even if they pull through, their lives have been irreversibly changed. >> we hope we have all the victims surviving their injuries but today will suffer from disabilities. >> reporter: but several victims remain unaccounted for, sasha and alexander, david

hasn't been seen or heard from since the attacks. his friends and relatives have been using social media to plead for any information. while their fate remains uncertain, the relatives have the faintest glimmer of hope that they might yet be found but they are being braced to accept the worst. special teams of medics and social workers have been brought in for help. >> we have a team from our morgue, forensics, and the federal police. and they are collecting information both from the fatalities themselves and if possible, family members here, to see if they can match sert data either fromatch certaininfe families or fatalities. >> paul brennan, al jazeera,

brussels. >> terror attacks in europe, the ap says the attacks would be just like the ones yesterday in brussels with interlocking cells coordinating attacks. the report cites unidentified european and iraqi intelligence officials saying 400 officials received training in iraq and possibly other places. during his second leg of his latin american trip president obama said the fight against i.s.i.l. his top priority. al jazeera's john terret reports. >> reporter: president obama went to argentina to help out newly elected mauricio macri, a centrist, in latin america's third largest economy. but a day after the i.s.i.l. attacks his policy quickly cropped up in reporter questions. >> my top priority is to defeat

i.s.i.l. and to eliminate the scourge of this barbaric terrorism that has been taking place around the world. we see high profile attacks in europe but they're also killing muslims throughout the middle east. people who are innocent, people who are guilty only of worshiping islam in a different way than this organization. >> reporter: obama says fighting i.s.i.l. was his number 1 priority and that of his military intelligence services around the world. >> they are poisoning minds around the world not just in europe or the united states and undoubtedly argentina. >> donald trump and ted cruz, trump has called for a ban on muslims entering the united states and ted cruz calling for

a ban where muslims are present. >> part of the reason we don't have as many attacks in the united states, we have an extraordinarily patriotic muslim community. any approach that would single them out or target them for discrimination is not only wrong and unamerican, but it also would be counterproductive. because it would reduce the strength, the anti-bodies that we have to resist terrorism. >> even though we're systematic and ruthless to go after them, it is also important that we respond to them without fear. secretary of state john kerry will travel to brussels tomorrow to express the condol condolence

united states. >> max, good to see you. first there's growing anger about whether these mass acers should havmassacresshould have . reporting intelligence agencies were warned of an imminent attack in brussels. how big an intelligence and policing failure was this? >> you know i'm usually very sympathetic to law enforcement. it's very common after a terrorist attack to blame the authorities for not breaking it up. but the reality is, is that it's very easy to perpetrate terrorist attacks. especially for a group like islamic state, where the members are perfectly prepared to die and they are willing to strike any target. but in this case i do think there is blame to go around. i marine the belgian authorities should have understood that they have a very serious jihadist problem. they support a higher proportion

of foreign jihadist to islamic state than any other country. there has been complaints about porous borders not only in any other state but in belgium in particular. one of these guys was flagged in advance as a foreign fighter. and yet you know this went on. i've even heard reports that there were specific intelligence indications that the airport and the metro station were particularly at risk. >> right. that's the haretz report was that there was specific threats to those two. >> that's right. so i mean furthermore, another good indicator is that foreign governments which are usually all in this countertro countertm game together, are calling belgium out and saying, you are really doing a substandard job. i've heard french officials,

turved officials, all this suggest to me that belgian authorities have done an inadequate job. >> in european travel, the weakest ling could affect the whole continent. the associated press is reporting that i.s.i.l. is training fighters to carry out attacks. do you think they're increasing the possibility of attacks on the u.s? >> i do think, because the organization itself is getting degraded in its stronghold in iraq and syria. in all sorts of ways. the group is losing battles, territory, revenue, the ability to pay fighters. it's propaganda output is down. so there are all sorts of signs that organization is diminishing. the group seems to be changing, becoming more decentralized. more and more basically the

nightmare scenario is happening. where first the foreign fighters went to syria, now they're coming back and striking soft targets so that 400 number is possible. >> that's what the u.s. state department to issue an unusually general warning that it could face near term attacks. you feel they face a very serious attack. >> i do but that said, if i was in charge of the state department i wouldn't release that sort of a statement because it basically implies that the risk is uniform throughout europe. and that's clearly not the case. there's wide variation in terms of which countries are supplying the foreign fighters event within these countries certain kinds of areas are much more dangerous than odors. so i actually think you could travel to europe very safely, and that it's important to understand the relative risks and not overreact here. >> authorities found a lot of

explosives at an apartment and the bomb maker in the bruferls attacks who was also linked to the paris attacks apparently was one of the two bomb cxtbreak blew themselves up at the airport. bomb makers are too valuable usually to blow them up. even if they needed to carry out the attacks because they might be caught in the light of the earlier arrest last week of abdeslam? >> again there's variation in the quality of bomb makers. the guy who was making these bombs wasn't particularly gifted. my understanding is that these tatp you know bombs that you could basically be taught how to use them in a few hours, maybe a day at most. it's pretty basic. this isn't the same kind of a bomb maker as the famed bomb maker you know in qua aqap to ue

weapon-grade explosives and put them in are ink cartridges. who is making these bombs is not that gifted. what's most surprising is the amount of explosive that is found rather than sophistication of the device. >> right especially since you don't need much of that explosive to make a very big bomb. max abrams, thank you. poland is because of the attacks in brussels the prime minister says that carelessly accepting migrants is what led to the are extent in brussels. not learning lessons from what's happening. president obama tries to

mend fences with argentina. why some are be suggesting closer ties between the two countries. also, word of a ceasefire and talks of ending yemen's civil war.

it didn't take long for president s

strip to strengthen ties between the u.s. and argentina. during the first day of his visit, u.s. firms announced they would invest $2 billion in argentina. teresa vo reports. >> reporter: it's been a historic visit, barack obama came all the way to argentina to mend ties with librarian e-latin america's third largest economy. >> president macri is a man with a mission, i'm impresshe has moved rapidly on so many of the reforms he has promised, to create sustainable and are be substantial reforms. >> reporter: for many years,

things have changed with macri who is promising market friendly policies that will bring argentina closer in line to the united states. >> translator: we take this visit as a sign of friendship at a time when argentina is looking to a new horizon, new change. our countries have similar values. >> ma have i and obama agreed to cooperate on drug trade and terrorism. obama's trip coincides with the military coup that begins what many say was the brutal dictatorship that would last seven years. that's why groups gathered to protest obama's visit. >> translator: it's disrespectful but the president of a country that trained and prepared the dictators is coming here at this time.

>> reporter: people see that president obama supported the dictatorship years ago. that's why these people say that barack obama is not welcome here. rb says that the united states ill won't bring any benefits to argentina. >> translator: the only thing we see from this is that the rich are going to be richer and the poor, poorer, it's what multinational companies do in countries like ours. >> more benefit than pain. teresa vo, al jazeera, being buenos aires. >> good to see you eric. this was the first state visit to argentina since 1997. back then, argentina was seen as one of the select few allies called major nonnato allies but

that certainly has not been the case for a while. so how important is this visit? >> yeah, you're exactly right in 1997, then president carlos menem, said our relationship was nearly carnal, it was so close. but since then the relationship went into the deep freeze for a number of reasons and only coming out with the election of mauricio macri. he has only been in office for a short time but the visit of president obama so early in macri's term it indicates the desire for both sides to build out the relationship. >> argentina is one of latin america's biggest and most populace countries. not only had the relationship frayed with the united states, it had become very

anti-american. >> that's absolutely right. i mean the kirchner government, nestor and cristina, was very antiamerican, contrary to u.s. interests in the reasoning. president macri on the campaign trail clearly said he was going to take a different tack. the argentine people were looking for a pragmatic approach, an approach that would bring jobs, end political polarization, they don't see the united states as an enemy and they're looking for ways to restore that relationship and i think president macri has really heard that call. >> economically is it a win win for both countries? u.s. bond holders get some back

due to the default over a decade ago? >> it dogs seem to be win-win. you know it's too large trading partners e-partners brazil and china are currently having economic difficulties. it needs to build out these relationships for its own domestic purposes, but the united states the size and importance of argentina is important. argentina has a important voice in terms of globaling governance, on the g-20, has a very strong voice, the bond holders not directly be related to the president's visit but that's going to give argentina the ability to go back into global financial markets which will lower the cost of their debt, borrowing, and increase

business confidence and domestic investment as well. it is a win-win, both countries are committed to this. the shame of this the timing if you will, with the brussels bombings the news cycle is taking over, and many people will miss the significance of president obama answer visit to argentina. >> causing pain in argentina and macri faces sum strong opposition. do you feel he will succeed in retraition argentina and its economy? >> they will probably be in recession but macri is in his honeymoon period. now he has got to move quickly but there will be pain for adjustment. over the long term the benefits of the adjustment will become apparent. can he move quickly enough and maintain enough political support to push the changes through congress and implementation and really get

the argentine economy back on track? he's working against time. >> eric farnsworth thank you very much. thank you. >> president obama gave a bit of a importance at his state dinner in buenos aires tonight. after a tan ggo performance, one of the dancers coaxed president obama out on the dance floor. after declining, he did join her for a few spins. why aid agencies including the united nations are pulling out of greek refugee camps, despite the desperate need for help.

could have been aimed at another city across the u.c, that would have made things much more difficult. >> the british police are pleased they foiled this plot but also worried by yet more signs at how quickly disaffected young men could embrace an extreme ideology and plan to kill or spread fear on the streets of their own city. barnaby phillips, al jazeera, central court london. informs have moved around palmyra to recapture the city from i.s.i.l,. talks slow, syrian officials refuse to discuss the fate of president bashar al-assad. james bays reports from geneva. >> one of the most senior officials in the european union after a meeting with the head of the syrian government delegation in geneva. there was no pictures of the actual meeting between frederica
