that is to jerusalem but to come back to brussels, you say you went to paris, there is the european union buildings where sala salah abdeslam was hanging out for four months and they found out he was there on friday because of an oversized pizza sord. it's slightly different for the europeans because they have self-radicalized nationals that have the right to be there. they were schooled there. it's their home. it may be different for jerusalem. >> it's not different. >> would you go into this area? what do you do with an area like that? what do you do? >> you get your act together. you take some brave forces and you enter the premises. you enter the place. >> you go house to house. is that what you're suggesting? >> i'm not saying that. that wouldn't be the smartest way to do it. >> you define what the thet is and you work it out. by the way, the majority of the residents are good people, for sure. you find the bad guys. >> but isis has these incredibly fragmented networks across the world. if it were so easy the governments would have already done this. >> you take extra measures. i think we have

meanwhile the maelbeek sub sway station is the prime stop for the european union government buildings. the u.s. embassy is a mile further down the street and serviced by different train and subway stops. tonight international risk experts say americans traveling to europe should consider avoiding large public gatherings and always be aware of their surroundings. >> maybe i don't want to be flying at peak mes when there's mass congestion. am i watching everyone around me? if something doesn't feel right, trust your instincts. >> travel advice that may become the new normal. tom costello, nbc news, washington. >> the two suicide bomber brothers in these attacks fit a troubling pattern. terrorists with family ties. radical groups often exploit the bonds between brothers, and as our keir simmons takes us into one brussels neighborhood that's become a prime recruiting ground for terror. >> reporter: the brothers turned suicide bombers this week at brussels airport and subway station are sickeningly nothing new. the attack on the french magazine "charlie hebdo" last year involved two brothe

as you can see flags lowered outside of some of the european union buildings in brussels. it is a day already of mourning in that european capital. at least 31 people killed in three separate explosions. at least three separate explosions still trying to determine what happened at both airport and the subway stop. nbc tom costello with an update on what was said to be a suicide vest or belt found at the airport undetonated. tom, what can you tell us? >> so, the bomb on this now is that that has now been detonated. either belgium military or the tactical police unit moved in and they disposed of that. they blew that particular belt up. they believe that that was an unexploded belt that was perhaps belonging to a suicide bomber who might have gotten away. they have been looking for that potential suicide bomber, as well. by the way, also talk around one or more of the suspects at the airport. 11 thought to have died at the airport and 20 at maalbeck which is the eu stop. the metro stop near the european union. by the way, not to be confused where the isis sympathizers were l

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 out at the airport, which is one of europe's major airline hubs. what it will do is give authorities the headache of wondering whether or not they should worry about security in what they call the unsecured areas, the departure zones where you just walk in with your luggage before you go through security. it's the worst-case scenario for law enforcement, an explosion that goes off in a check-in area. this happened back in 2008 in glasgow. and also at the check in at los angeles airport a few years ago. these are areas that anyone can walk up and walk into. and therefore they are particularly vulnerable to a terror attack. we know that airports throughout belgium have been put on the highest level of terror alert. they're operating with a very high level of security. so there will be e

that is what is now happening across that one of the explosions said to have happened near european union building, but as you mention ed mentioned they have been bracing themselves for something like this for some time. salah abdeslam, they found him because they raided a property on tuesday last week. and unexpectedly came across a terrorist cell who fired back on them. one was killed. salah abdeslam escaped. it was from there that they were able to track him down and finally arrest him on friday. before tuesday though, they had simple did not know where he was. and i'm afraid what's happening today is going to raise serious questions about how across all of the intelligence services across europe and in belgium have been. struggled to trace many of those who have been coming back from syria, affiliated to isis with the intent of carrying out an attack like this. the question, as you were talking to pete williams about is whether this attack was always planned. salah abdeslam, we have been hearing was telling officials that he -- that they were playing another attack or was -- some of the planni

happening, when hundreds of people are pouring out of these metro trains to go into these european union buildings, the parliament especially is the closest one to the maalbeek station. it is a station, in fact, the train where the bomb went off, the very rear of the train, is the part of the train where i usually ride on my way to the parliament several times a week and it just so happened that i didn't take it today and that's why i'm talking to you tonight. anderson? >> scary thing. chris burns, thank you for that reporting. maalbeek is different from molenbeek which is the neighborhood paris attackers returned to and ultimately did. >>> a lot more ahead in the next two hours of live reporting on "a.c. 360" including what an american witness saw and heard as his train pulled into the maalbeek station. >>> also next, our intelligence and security paneluation weigh the fugitive, the terror cell and how to stop the next attack. if you misplace your discover card, you can use freeze it to prevent new purchases on your account in seconds. and once you find it, you can switch it right on again. you'r

the attacker or attackers have struck at the heart of the european union administration here in central brussels. the building over my shoulder is the headquarter of the european commission. we have diplomats in brussels from all over europe and further afield. the number of victims has now been advised upwards as a result of an announcement by the mayor of brussels who has made the following announcement, basically bare figures, 20 people have now been killed, 106 people are now known to have been injured in that metro explosion in the rush hour this morning here in brussels. of those 106 injured, 17 are currently critically ill and 23 of them classified as seriously wounded. you can see there is a potential for that figure of fatalities to rise further. the international aspect of this as we spoke about a little earlier is clear. the slovenia foreign ministry confirmed one of its diplomats was injured in that blast on the metro train. a british citizen is also believed to have been caught up in the blast. no details on a the foreign ministry there. the fact that the metro bomb went off in the heart of the d

put things into context geographically, we are in the , the of the european union european commission. we are surrounded by buildingshat belong to the european commission. this is very much an acgtivtive police and rescue scene. they use this artery which is closed off to regular traffic. if you think about it, this is the first large-scale terror attack, the largest, that has taken place in this country since the second world war. at least one attack happened in the eu, thef european commission's headquarters. the other at the airport. this is coming after the detention of one of the suspects in the paris attacks in november. state has claimed responsibility. that is according to an islamic state news agency. is there any sense of a manhunt underway? we saw in paris? sure there is. you don't see that on the streets. i would say that the environment is pretty permissive. we drove into the city and saw very little police presence. there are a lot of police where we are around the crime scene. not groups of men with weapons moving through the streets right now. nothing like that. in the centeralm of brussels. there is

one eyewitness, another eyewitness inside the european union building told us, brooke, he felt that shake, and the fear that it -- the fear that ran through him. because he said he walks past that train station every morning with his daughter. he gets on that subway every morning. and to think that that could have been the morning that he was there with his daughter. schools in the district, students locked in, teachers told not to allow any student out of the classroom unaccompanied. it just felt the reverberations of the tension and the fear that have been building up here in the months since those first days post the paris attack, when the threads of those investigations began leading here. finally all of that was culminating in what this country went through this morning, brooke. >> absolutely chilling. we keep playing the subway video and that child screaming. our hearts with them today. nima elbagir, thank you so much. pamela brown, our justice correspondent, with some new information, as we look at this picture here, all eyes on the photo of these three men inside the airport early

to put things into context here, we are right in the heart of the european union, the european commission. we are surrounded by buildings that belong to the european commission. if you think about it, this is the first large-scale terror place thet has taken second world war. at least one of the attacks taking place at the eu headquarters. the bank of greece has announced restructuring -- credit suisse has announced restructuring. they said, we have to triage what we will tackle. ,redit is doing ok, but then the fourth quarter came, and credit fell off a cliff. now, they are saying, this is moving up the party list -- priority list. >> why was this not clear before? i said on record this was not clear to me, it was not clear to my cfo, and many people inside of the bank. there needs to be a cultural change. there have been consequences. >> people are trying to withhold information? >> it is a very interesting question. high -- asts are too lot of problems in investment bank has been people try to generate revenue at all cost. book andhigh-yielding generating a lot of revenue. if exposed, there are cost problems. calling

one of the explosions said to have happened near european union building. but as you mentioned, they have been bracing themselves for something like this for some time. salah abdeslam who was arrested on friday, they found him because they raided a property on tuesday, last week. and unexpectedly came across a terrorist cell. who fired back on them, one was killed. salah abdeslam escaped. it was from there that they were able to track him down. and finally arrest him on friday. before tuesday, though they simply did not know where he was. and i'm afraid what's happening today is going to raise serious questions about how across all of this, the intelligence belgium have been. it is clear that they have struggled to trace many of these have been coming back from syria, affiliated to isis, with the intent of carrying out an attack like this. the question, as you were talking to pete williams about, isl whether this attack was always planned. salah abdeslam, we have been hearing were telling officials that he -- they were planning another attack. or was some o

the impact it has a great disruption to peoples' lives in brussels and essentially the european union and the buildings on lock down. you can see what is happening but it is looking ahead and i think if there is a positive to come out of this we have seen a great disruption of the islamic state and making a guess because no one claimed responsibility but highly likely this group is responsible for the attacks but again it's an educated guess and don't know any more so from this it is looking at perhaps getting further evidence and perhaps crossing the intelligence again and causing even more disruption to the group and at moment they have been seriously degraded for their full capacity. >> very good to have you talking to us on al jazeera about these three attacks that we saw over several hours in belgium on tuesday. we are hearing through afp, we can't confirm this but afp quoting belgium civil defense and says the death toll now is 21 and heard a little earlier at least 35 people have been injured, this is at the airport, no reports of anybody dead at the metro station in the heart of the city but ma

1500 gmt, but of course that particular line, servicing basically the offices of the european union which is the buildingehind me, that will stay closed for obvious reasons. >> reporter: you mentioned the e.u. buildings behind you. this attack has targeted the very heart of europe, and a number of diplomats were caught up in the explosions? >> reporter: that's right. i mean what we're waiting to hear is from the prosecutors and the investigators as to what the potential motives of these attacks are. the metro attack could theoretically just been an attack against the transport system. but the fact is that brussels the epicenter of european diplomacy. nato, of course, is based in brussels as well, and the metro station which was targeted by this attacker or attackers in the rush hour this morning is basically right next to the european commission building behind me. international aspect of all of this is that diplomats have been caught up in it from a number of different countries, not just belgian nationals. the slovenians have said one of their diplomats were injured in the blast. we have a report that

european union staff, for example, has been told to stay in place. we're very close to the european union commission council, their council building, this is the center of brussels and still actually quite active. a lot of traffic, there is very heavy traffic getting into the city, we heard sirens, saw rescue vehicles but at no point were any of the roads blocked until we got much closer to the scene, brian. >> kelly, the people of brussels must wonder what they've done to deserve all of this in the post paris period because we saw that initial sweep, we saw the initial kind of shut down, everything was paralyzed, months go by then came word of the arrest, they're back in the news and now this. >> reporter: that's right. and just in the past couple of days officials and heads of government have been very clear about the possibility of another attack since the arrest of abdeslam on friday. but it's one thing to have those warnings and of course those warnings have been coming now as you mentioned for months, it's quite another to actually see it happening in your city. at a subway during rush hour. at an airport, you know, on a busy tuesday morning as

are reports that ten have been killed in that blast that took place near the european union headquarters, many office buildings in that area. e.u. employees who were already at work were told to stay there and those who had not come to work have been told to stay the timing of these explosions is very suspect, four days after abdeslam. group that inflicted so much harm in paris killing numb 130 people, wounding scores more. salah abdeslam was dragged out of that apartment building, he is believed to be the only authorities feared reprisal attacks after his capture. we don't know who is behind prove to be that these are reprisal attacks. closer to home, the nypd telling us the nypd is aware of the situation and we are monitoring it for further developments, aware of the situation and monitoring it for further developments, we are monitoring it as well. another update in a few minutes. ben: you mentioned one of the explosions near the american airlines check-in counter, there would have been people checking scheduled to depart brussels at 9:40 this morning bound for philadelphia, flight 751. could have been a lo

building which was headquarters of the european union. jerry baker, interesting that this third metro station bomb was so close to the european union headquarters. >> seems to be symbolic attack, closest subway station to the european commission headquarters but also huge amounts of traffic going through, people commuting to work. going back to what we were talking about, this is a big challenge for law enforcement when the arrest -- there was concern this would lead to a threat. searching for the suspects some of which they found, literally shut the place down, told people not to leave their homes for 48 hours. could they have prevented this? to be fair what do you do? do you shop an entire city down? or do you try to increase security to deter the threat, a difficult balance. >> it is an insurgency. based on this belief system the terrorists have taken out what is an insurgency, among those neighborhoods like we saw in san bernardino, at the outset normal people going about their daily lives, we can't believe that. maria: thank you very

as you can see, flags lowered outside some of the european union buildings in brussels. it is a day already of mourning in that european capital. three separate explosions. at least three separate explosions. still trying to determine exactly what happened at both the airport and the subway stop. nbc's tom costello has an update on what was said to be a suicide vest or belt found at the airport undetonated. what can you tell us? >> yeah, so the bottom line on this is that has been detonated. either belgian military or the tactical unit blew that belt up. they believe it was an unexploded belt, perhaps belonging to a suicide bomber who might have gotten away. they have been looking for that suicide bomber, as well. there was talk about a kalishnakov. 20 have been said to be dead at molenbeek is the neighborhood where the isis sympathizers were living. the molenbeek versus molbeek. horrific injuries by victims, reporting nail wounds and amputations that had to occur. limited train service, we're told, is going to start up again in the brussels capital region. i underscore

european union, the european commission. i'm actually right now surrounded by buildings that belong to the european commission.you think about it, this is really the first large-scale terrorist attack, the largest terrorist attack that has taken place in this country since the second world war, and at least one of the attacks happening right in the middle of the e.u., the european commission's headquarters. >> credit suisse is accelerating its restructuring. the bank has announced it could cost savings of $1.7 billion since 2016, costing an additional 2000 jobs. credit suisse is one of a number of banks struggling to boost profits. >> back in october, credit suisse said we have to kind of triage what we are going to tackle here and we need to improve our macro business first. credit is doing ok, but then the fourth quarter came, credit fell off the cliff. that continued in the first quarter. they had losses on distressed assets. now they are saying this is moving up the priority list. francine: you said you were surprised by your illiquid positions. tidjane: yes. francine: when did you find out about them? tid
