with last year's paris attacks, he is believed to be an a come police of salah abdeslam. authorities say lash raury had a hand until the paris attacks in paris. >> a desperate manhunt is under way. police believed he a band sond a suitcase and fled. >> and the man in the middle is khalid el bakraoui. h -- ieb home el bakraoui. his younger broke khalid. police say both brothers now dead helped facilitate the first attacks. >> a lot to get to this morning. we have complete coverage of the investigation and the impact here in the u.s. let's start with bill neely, he is in brussels for us. bill, good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning. savannah, from a street that is

normally filled with traffic today filled with people adding to a carpet of flowers that's building just ahead of me for the dead. there is a desperate search by police here this morning for the terror cell behind these bombings, but one man who police believe was connected to that cell indeed may have organized it, appeared in could rt this morning. it's not just a manhunt, it's a race against time. police searching for suspects fear the terror cell who struck once here could strike again. this raid gave them boxes of evidence but not the men they want. this is one, an airport bomber there still struggling to identify. these are new pictures of the carnage he and the two others caused. 61 of the injured are still in intensive care, over 100 more still in the hospital including a dozen americans, several more americans are still unaccounted for.

the one man apparently unaware of the bombings had a court hearing this morning amid massive security. salah abdeslam arrested last week faces extradition to france for the paris bombings. he won't fight t his daughter says he hasn't been told about the brussels attacks. deep underground at the site of the deadliest bombing at the metro station the search continues. they are looking for any tiny clue here, a battery, a detonator, any fragment of the bomb that might lead them to who made it. people here are desperate to feel safe. the troops guarding their morning commute say many are not enough. tourists, too, feel under threat here. >> i came from jerusalem to experience a few days of peace. i hope this -- all this madness stops. >> reporter: and soon. >> very soon. >> reporter: three days of

mourning continue here but amid the remembrance there is defiance, too. >> all i can do is show them i'm not afraid? you are you are not afraid? >> no, i'm not. >> reporter: defiance and patriotism. >> you're wearing belgian colors. >> everybody needs to wear it now. >> reporter: many of the dead have not been identified. the first to be named is a peruvian on her way to new york with her four-year-old twin daughters. they survived by running across the airport departure hall to play with their father. the nation is praying not just for the victims but for the success of their own battle against the bombers still on the run. now, the police know that two of those backers were the bakraoui brothers and both are dead, but there's real confusion about all the others. who they were, where they came from and who is helping them. this is a police operation that is struggling and this is a

population that's deeply worried. matt, savannah. >> bill neely, thank you so much. this is the third terror attack in europe in a little more than a year that involved brothers. >> as we say ibrahim el bakraoui blew hem sifl up at the airport, khalid detonated his bomb at the subway station. last november the paris bombings involved and slams. >> brothers has terrorists have hit close to home in the u.s. we remember the tsarnaev brothers who carried out the boston marathon bombings. in some cases like the tsarnaevs one brother is thought to have radicalized the younger sibling but oftentimes they share the same ideology. we're also learning more about the victims, several including americans some still missing more than 48 hours later. erika hill is in brussels with that part of the story. good morning. >> reporter: good morning to you. the state department confirms

about a dozen americans were injured in tuesday's attack but as you mentioned many still remain unaccounted for. the state department telling us even some u.s. government employees and family members are unaccounted for. this morning their loved ones are holding out hope for the best and doing their best not to fear the worst. just an hour before the first blast emily eisenman had spoken to her belgian boyfriend, he was headed to the airport to visit her in georgia. >> bart told me that he would get in touch with me every step of the way. his last words on the phone call was that i love you. >> no one has heard from him since. surrounded by family emily has this plea. >> i have hope that bart, you are coming home. and i love you so much and we all love you and you are okay. >> reporter: also still

unaccounted, siblings sascha and alexander pinczowski who live in new york, they were on the phone with a relative when the airport bomb went off. and kentucky couple justin and stephanie shults who had just waved good buy to her mother at security. stephanie's friends holding out hope. >> stephanie is such an intelligent and positive and supportive person. she would just want everyone to keep positive thoughts. >> reporter: among the injured at hospital three american mormon missionaries including richard norby who remains in a coma and mason wells who had second-degree burns, his parents flying out wednesday night to be by his side. and sebastien bellin, a pro basketball player who played college ball in the states, he suffered deep shrapnel cuts to his leg and hip, his family owned learned his fate after seeing this photo taken moments after the airport explosion. his father in california finally reaching him at the hospital.

>> he said that you wouldn't believe what i saw around me. so i'm a lucky one. >> reporter: and that photo of sebastian that we mentioned i actually spoke with a woman who took it yesterday, she said she had no idea who he was at the time, she just felt she needed to document what was happening in the terminal after the blast, but she is hoping, savannah and willie, to one day connect with him. >> those american families clinging to hope. thank you very much. these attacks have become a new focal point in the presidential race. this morning republican hopeful senator ted cruz is doubling down on a controversial proposal while his twitter war of words with donald trump escalates. peter alexander has the latest from the campaign trail. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. a majority of republican voters name terrorism as their top concern but how to address it remains the top issue. president obama is joining the growing chorus condemning ted cruz's proposal to patrol muslim neighborhoods here and overnight an ugly round in that ugly back

and forth between the top two republican candidates over their wives. ted cruz standing firm. >> increase law enforcement, increase military effort and increase police presence. >> reporter: still the backlash is growing after his controversial call for surveillance of muslim neighborhoods in the u.s. >> it's wrong. it's counterproductive, it's dangerous. >> reporter: president obama fresh off a trip to cuba slamming cruz's strategy. >> i just left a country that engages in that kind of neighborhood surveillance, which by the way the father of senator cruz escaped for america. >> reporter: cruz quickly firing back. >> we have seen president obama's weakness and appeasement give rise to radical islamic terrorism, isis. >> reporter: both cruz and clinton knocking trump for suggesting the u.s. pull back from nato, america's strategic alliance with europe for 70 years.

>> there is a technical term for that is correct it's called nuts. >> reporter: clinton warning that would give rough is that unchecked power. meanwhile, a spat over spouses. >> there are a lot of things that donald trump and his campaign say that have no basis in reality. >> reporter: heidi cruz dismissing trump after he wrongly blamed her husband for this stop trump ad from an outside group but trump insisting cruz is behind the ad is threatening to spill the beans about his rival's wife. >> he's better off sticking with me because heidi is way out of his league. >> reporter: and accusing cruz of lifting lines from a fictional president michael douglas. >> you better stick with me. >> reporter: still trump and cruz are not letting up. trump retweeting the picture with the tweet the images are worth a thousand words. overnight ted cruz shot back tweeting donald real men don't attack women.

your wife is lovely and heidi is the love of my life. somehow this sideshow continues. surely not the conversation most republicans want to be having two days after an awful terror attack. >> peter alexander, thank you. on that note senator lindsey graham joins us now, he is a member of the senate armed services committee, former presidential candidate this year and he just threw his support behind senator cruz. lots to talk about including politics. let's start with these terror attacks in brussels. a lot of people just sit here and they think what can you do? is the jeannie out of the bottle? is there any way to contain this? >> the goal is to destroy isil. president obama has the right goal but the strategy is not going to work. you need a ground component to supplement the air campaign. policing muslim communities, torturing people is not the answer. so we need a ground component. i'd form a regional army of arab nations would be part of that army, go into saer i can't and take back the land that isil honds. >> but even if you did that

tomorrow you still have a situation in brussels and in other western european capitals and god forbid maybe even here where you have people who are willing and inspired by isis. >> if you did that tomorrow isil over time would become less effective, lose their command and control. there would be no place to go to in syria, they would be seen as losers not winners. it would take a while but if you don't destroy them on the ground this continues. another 9/11 is coming near here, it's being planned as i speak in syria, the only way to interrupt the next attack on our homeland is to go on the ground and hit these guys. >> a lot of people say what happened in brussels and paris could happen in the united states. what do you do about a potential terror cell that's already here? >> you want to have good intelligence, a good relationship with the muslim community. this is a religious war. the worst possible thing for a political leader in the united states to do is say that we're going to ban all muslims,

basically say that islam is -- we should say we see the difference between radical islam and 99% of the muslim faith and have a better relationship. >> the candidate you're supporting ted cruz said we ought to police muslim communities, enhance surveillance, things like that. what do you say to that? >> if it means we have to have a better policing relationship where we can gather intelligence are from the muslim community that makes sense. if we're going to surveil muslims because they are muslims doesn't make sense. donald trump made the biggest mistake anybody can make on the war on terror, declaring war on faith. you have to get people within the faith to partner with you and there are plenty who reject radical islam we need their help. wins we are on the subject of politics lets me play a mash up of why you are greatest hits. >> my party has gone bat [ bleep ] crazy.

if you kill ted cruz on the floor of the senate and the trial was in the senate nobody could convict you. >> you have a way with words. >> probably not going to go into comedy. >> you're supporting ted cruz. how did thisthis happen? >> it says a lot about donald trump, doesn't it? donald trump i think would be a disaster for our party, ted cruz is a reliable republican conservative whom i have many differences with. i don't think trump is republican or conservative, i think he would be a disaster at commander in chief. ted and i have more of a world view than mr. trump. i'm supporting ted cruz because i think he would be competitive in the general election, mr. trump would destroy my party because of who he is and the way he behaves. >> you said you would rather lose this presidential election than make donald trump president. if it is hillary and trump you would vote for hillary clinton? >> i'm not going to vote for hillary clinton under any iks circumstances because it would be a continuation of a failed presidency. i think mr. trump is not a

republican conservative, his campaign is based on xenophobia, race baiting, bringing out the worst in us, i think it would destroy my party for generations to come. we can afford to lose an election, we can't afford to lose the heart and soul of who we are. >> before i let you go what do you think about this latest twitter dust up over candidates' wives? >> it's a good year to be single. the bottom line is when you think it can't get worse, guys, knock it off. the world is falling apart. man up, you have great wives and great families. give me a vision, an alternative to winning this far different than barack obama. give me a plan that would lead to the destruction of isil, tell me how we are going to get out of debt, talk about things that people care about and knock this crap off because these are serious times and you are not behaving like you want to be president of the united states, you're behaving like you are on a reality tv show. >> senator graham, thank you so much. another major story this morning, treacherous conditions

bill neily is there with the latest. >> reporter: good morning. quick update on the casualties. 61 people are still in intensive care. more than 100 others still in the hospital including around a dozen americans. the police hunt for those who injured them and killed 31 others is intensifying. a desperate man hunt for this man captured on airport footage pushing a bomb in a suitcase into the departures hold before he fled the scene. a u.s. official says the man standing to the left is najim laachraoui, the bomb maker who blew himself up in the attack along with ibrahim el bakraoui. nbc news is learning from u.s. intelligence officials the

brussels and paris attacks were linked and according to a senior u.s. counter terrorism official the two el bakraoui brothers participated in both events. in paris they facilitated the attacks providing safe house to terrorists. here in belgium they became the suicide bombers. their co-conspirator in the paris attacks salah abdeslam wasn't told of the attack. he wants to leave for france as quickly as possible. the police are hunting for a number of suspects. there is real confusion about who they are, where they are, where they came from and who might be helping them. the police are struggling in this investigation and people here are pretty worried. >> thank you very much. now to the powerful spring storm that has winter

overstaying its welcome in the midwest and wisconsin. a state of emergency declared. parts of minnesota clobbered overnight. in colorado the blizzard shut down denver international airport for the first time in almost a decade. the storm brought heavy rain and hail to parts of the south. the australian government says analysis of two pieces of airplanes found they are certainly part of mh 370. a south african teenager found one piece. the second piece was discovered by an american lawyer who had been conducting his own search. another possible piece found this week in south africa. the flight attendant accused of trying to smuggle nearly 70

pounds of cocaine through is behind bars. marsha gay reynolds turned herself in on wednesday at jfk airport. investigators say she ran from airport security ditching her gucci high heels after she was selected for a random screening. she faces a federal drug charge and is due in court later today. let's go back. >> thank you so much. spring is here and we all know what that means, allergies. according to a new report based on several factors jackson, mississippi is the most challenging city to live in. no matter where you are the new season can be rough. tell us why this year might be particularly challenging. >> it looks like this year will be the perfect storm, if you will. we had a big el nino season

which means wet weather. that means a lot of roots were primed and as soon as the weather gets warmer they will start to pollinate. we had a very mild winter. temperatures weren't that cold. that can raise carbon dioxide levels which will direct and trigger more pollen. >> do i have a cold or allergies? >> one of the most common symptoms is a stuffy congested nose. the biggest difference is that a cold is caused by a virus. that means you might have systemic symptoms. achiness. a cold is seven to ten days. allergy symptoms are itchy, watery eyes, lethargy will last probably throughout the whole season. >> if you can't shake it it might be allergies. can allergies come on? i never had allergies my whole life. >> the majority of people

develop them when they are younger but age and allergies do not discriminate. you can develop them at any point in your life. one thing is if you have a very dry sunny windy day that is going to dislodge all the pollen. the next panel is something we can see is the pollens that you don't see. you know how cars are sometimes covered with yellow covering. that is from pine. that is not what you are inhaling. it does signal that other trees are starting to bloom. the last one is something called the food allergy. people can have the pollen food syndrome which is that there are proteins in certain foods like nuts and fruit that can cross react with actual pollen. so you may be allergic to hay weed and you eat a piece of fruit and you have tingling and itching in your throat. >> we know the over-the-counter medicines.

>> nasal decongestant not to be used more than a couple of days at a time. the important thing this year is that we are promoting preventive therapy. you can be getting allergy shots earlier. there was approved in 2014 under the tongue tablets to desensitize you to certain pollen. contact your allergist. you can get really effective therapy. >> thank you so much. coming up next, say hello to the 50 shades of gray sport. our big fat "today"

sex with his best friend's wife. he filed a lawsuit against gawker which claimed the publishing of the video is protected by the first amendment because it is relate today a matter of public concern. a jury awarded him $140 million in damages. i had a chance to sit down with him yesterday. here is what he had to say. >> obviously, terry, people saw the number $140 million. that became the big headline. do you believe your battle with gawker has gotten lost behind the talk of how much money the jury decided to award you? >> i don't think so. i think the public feels the same way i did. so i think that makes a huge statement, is that a big enough number? maybe not but it should be a deterrent for anybody else who ever tries to do anything like

this not to do it. you will be held accountable. >> what was it about your message or what your attorneys said that you believe really sealed the deal for you? >> the jury agreed with me that privacy is something that we all deserve and it's something that is protected by the first amendment. this case was never about that. it was about privacy rights. >> you say part of what was so complicated is that men, women, children saw you as this great guy. you're hulk hogan and you found yourself facing some of your fans who said i wento google you and the first thing that popped up was sex tape. how did that affect your daily life and your interaction with your fans? >> made me cower. i'm not that standing tall the way i felt before. it is like this crazy dark cloud. and the fact that gawker makes

this statement that our stories will stand the test of time. mission accomplished. i will be naked forever on the internet. when i realize children want to see hulk hogan videos and parents say you should see him hulk hogan was greatest. right away the way google works and i'm not very familiar with how the internet works it pops up hulk hogan sex tape. every time i met somebody or see somebody when i'm walking in here and shake their hand i have this crazy thought that what do they think of me? what does the father think of me? do they think a million times less than before? it is something that never goes away. >> can you talk about the relationship or lack thereof with bubba now? >> we are not friends. we don't talk. he never was my friend.

it's hard to explain. he was there when my mom died. the day my dad took his last breath. i had one hand and bubba had his other hand and it is like that is something. my dad went -- and it was over and bubba was there with me it was really hard to handle the fact that he did this to me. i don't know how to say it. >> do you blame bubba as much as you blame gawker? >> no. i blame myself. i blame myself because you're at an all-time low. you have nobody. and my gut was telling me something is wrong. my gut telling me something is

wrong. i made the worst decision of my life. i blame myself. >> gawker said you initially filed a claim to prevent the publication of racist language from you in another tape. the wwe severed ties, as well. what can you tell me about the use of the n word in one of those tapes? >> the use of the n word goes along with that day when i bottomed out. people who know me know i'm not a racist. some of my best friends are african-american. i go to a predominantly black church. the people that know me know i'm not a racist. the wwe fans know i'm not a racist. it is just a horrible mistake, should not have been used ever. i should have never used it in the privacy of my friend's home. for that i will be eternally

sorry. >> which is more difficult for you to have your fans see and hear? the intimate relationship you had with someone or to hear you use that kind of language? >> i think they are both appalling. they are both situations that i never dreamed would be part of my life. but i don't know how to explain to anybody. it was one of those moments that i didn't know i said that. i didn't know that was out there. and for me when the rumors started -- first i had never seen any of the tapes. look at one for a minute and identify that is me and i turn my head. >> why? >> i do not want to watch it. it is the most embarrassing moment of my life. even when there are rumors out there, the racial slurs that were on the tape, when we didn't know they were on there, i told my attorneys i don't care about

that. that is not who i am. i want to make sure this never happens to anyone again. >> you are in control of what you do next as far as your name, your reputation and maybe winning back fans who are concerned about what they learn. how do you do that? how do you turn this into the happy ending that i'm sure you prayed for? >> well, underneath all of this emotion i haven't slept for about a month, i feel very victorious. i feel that all those people that know me, all the wwe fans, everybody, personal friends, just everybody that knows me knows who i am. for those who don't i'm going to fight to win them back one day at a time. and there is nothing else i can do except be honest. >> gawker and founder strongly challenge the verdict and say they will appeal.
