Brussels main airport an erie silence followed by sirens, frightened and confused people on the ground and calling out. And this video of chaos in the airport just fed into the newsroom a short time ago. You see people scrambling to get out. Day brie is everywhere. Michelle carusocabrera is on her way from havana, cuba, where she was earlier today now to brussels. Sue herera is standing by now with the latest. Hi, sue. Here is the latest in the situation. You just showed the interiors of the airplane. We have a photo showing three men who are considered the major suspects in the bombing attack at the Brussels Airport. The photo, which we hope to show you in just a moment there it is. Those are the three men. That phototaken by airport surveillance. We also have just learned that a third bomb has been neutralized at that airport. The Islamic State claiming responsibility for the series of attacks in brussels in morning. It described the events as a multipronged attack that started at the airport. Separately, it reported that a single bomber detonated a suicide belt at the train station. The Brussels Airport will remain closed tomorrow. The white house releasing a photoshowing president obama and National Security adviser susan rice talking on the phone with Homeland Security adviser lisa monaco getting an update on the attacks. At least 31 people were killed in the attack. Nearly 200 others injured in the explosions at the airport and the train station. Democratic president ial frontrunner Hillary Clinton spoke to the today show by telephone on the attacks. Weve got to stand in solidarity with our european allies as they have stood with us on so many occasions. And we have to intensify our efforts to fine and prevent terrorists from ever doing this again. That is the latest on the attacks. Well have updates on the half hour and the top of the hour on this still developing situation throughout the afternoon. Back to you, ty, and the gang. Ill take it, sue herera thank you. Lets bring in Tara Palmieri live from brussels. I know you were at the airport earlier today. You are now back at citys center. What can you tell us about the state of brussels, of its citizens, now hours after the attacks . Well, the streets are definitely a lot quieter. People that work in the european institutions have been told not to go into work tomorrow. Its been said by the foreign minister that there will be three days of mourning. And the airports will be open tomorrow. So basically, the city is on high alert, level four, and the people are in lockdown mode again like weve been many times in the past four months. Since the attacks on paris and since the raids initially in belgium, tara, you were on a level three. Have the people become sort of inyoured to this sort of attack . I mean, these are tragic events, of course, but life does seem to go on more quickly than one might expect. Right. Well, there was definitely a shock after there was a lockdown in the city in novel, early december. And then again on the night of new years eve. But i think that most people seemed to let their guard down, get back to work, get back to life. We all felt a lot of relief when Salah Abdeslam was captured. We thought it was the beginning of a peaceful time in brussels. But days later there were attacks on our soil which hasnt happened in years, outside of the Jewish Museum from downtown, across the street where i love. Im surrounded by the situation. And our offices are up the street. Want to take you back to when you were at the airplane. You had the chance to witness the scene first hands. You took photos. Wed lining to show those. Can you walk us through what it was like to see the aftermath of the explosions . Well, there were just lines of people wheeling their luggage coming out of the building, the ones that were in good enough shape to walk. A lot of them had experienced the explosion. One man i spoke to works as a check in attendant. And this is very close to the American Airlines area, and he said that he heard a loud explosion, he ducked. He hid underneath the turnstyle for the luggage. His colleagues were screaming run, run, run. When he came out, his clothes were pat at that timered. Another man i spoke to said he thought from the grill he works at in the airport he saw blood anywhere. He called it an apocalypse. Everyone was viscally shattered. I saw people crying fearful that the colleagues that work at the airport since they had not left with the large group of people evacuating. And then hours later funeral cars were there taking the deceased away. A grim scene. Tara palmieri joining us live from brussels. Again, we want to show you some of the chaos that was inside belgiums main airport right after this mornings terrorist attacks. You see the smoke inside, people on the ground looking for safety. Were talking about the impact with the former Deputy Director of the tsa. Tom, obviously a lot of americans have their views about the tsa. The security is between when you get into the airport and when you get into the terminal. Do you believe we will have some kind of push for security prior to even entering an airport . I think thats entirely possible. I think thats something that the tsa has begun talking about. They have begun to ask congress for some funds to begin implementing what they call apex screening. And i actually think in your reporting you just saw at least some example of that, which is to say if you can come up with the photos of three of the potential wrong doers at the Brussels Airport, that means that you have pretty good surveillance of the ticket lobbies and the areas of the airport prior to the time that you enter security and go down the to where you would board the planes. So i think we are already beginning to see that. And i think the question a real critical question now becomes what is the security of the travel documents that we have with the europeans . And im talking about passports, validity of visas, and this sort of thing, and the capability to share information in an Intelligence Capacity about forged documents, visa overstays, and these sorts of critical pieces of information. Whats going to be the reaction in american airports for the next few days . What can our viewers and listeners expect . Well weve already seen tsa slow the lines down. Everybody who has travelled recently knows its take longer to get through the Security Checkpoint. Thats as a result of bad report cards about prohibited items getting through the checkpoints that were the result of investigations over this past summer. I think the lines will get a little bit slower. I think that those individuals that want to travel internationally better be prepared for additional inconvenience. They will take a much harder look for International Travelers both outbown and inbound as to their carry ones. There will be more extensive interviewing of passengers, particularly inbound. The checks and validity of visas, this sort of thing, will be checked and doublechecked. So i would say it will be it will be inconvenient, particularly in the International Travel venues. Back to the first question brian asked about creating a kind of security perimeter not at the gates or at a checkpoint within the airport itself, but on the exterior of the airport. How play out how you would ever do that on the assumption that people are traveling with large pieces of luggage and who knows whether some of these explosive devices were in pieces of luggage as opposed to being strapped to individuals as a suicide bomb. How would you ever do it . Yeah, i think you have to do a combination of both additional physical security and additional intelligence gathering and risk analytics. What i mean by that is, in terms of perceived high risk you might begin checking vehicles as they come on to airport property on a random basis, opening trunks, using xray devices on tires and doors and that sort of thing, questioning some individuals. You might begin to do some additional physical Security Checks in parking garages as people are preparing to enter. You might do additional checks on camera surveillance by trained observers that are observing people as they enter. You might do things like that. But intelligence the most important thing is to make sure that our European Partners are beefing up their travel documents. Are they checking and issuing passports legitimately . Are visas being issued legitimately . Are they looking for sleesa overstays, people who ignore and overstay the time they are allotted. And finding these kinds of indicators of bad behavior that will help us reduce the rick of the situation that occurred today. Tom, you can do all those spotchecks outside of the existing checkpoints. But there are numerous airports including airports here in the United States that have trains that go right into the airport buildings. How much of a concern is this to you . And that seems like that would be a formidable task to incorporate those sorts of security measures to systems that extend far beyond the airport and go into the airport. Thats a great point. Unfortunately before 9 10 sl 01 travel methods and modes were pre grated for convenience of people and we dont know that we needed to give such high priority to security. You make a great point about the transit and rail venue. Those are wide open. Very difficult to secure. And this points to where the people really needs to be the partner of the federal government in the u. S. Or whether its in in your opinion as well. See something, Say Something becomes critically important in the rail venue. I think in the rail venue you will see additional inspectors, a heightened Police Presence in the u. S. , people looking for suspicious and unusual behaviors. But it is very important that the public contribute to the increased vigilance as well. Tom blank. Tom thank you for your time. Up next, more on the latest of the deadly terror attraction in brussels. What it means for the economy in europe and whether the entire future of free travel across countries in europe could be at risk. Back after this.

The attack on brussels fuelling the debate over british exit from the euro zone. Nigel officerage coming under fire for this retweet right after the attacks from Allison Pearson a columnist at the telegraph. Her tweet read quote brussels de facto capital of the eu is also the jihadist capital of europe. Nigel joins us now on the phone. Thank you for joining us. Appreciate it. Thank you. Are you using the tragic events that happened today to gain political points for your cause . No. Ive said very little, actually. Very little. I retweeted what the journalist put out. My own message was i was very upset by what happened. And i undutiedly would know some of the people who were victims having spent many years working in the city and that i felt very depressed for the future. Yes, i did read that tweet although other people in your party might be doing the work for you. Mike hookum is quoted as saying that free moment and lacks border controls are a threat on our commune. Do you think the attacks show there should be tighter control at the borders and perhaps that britain specifically for your case could be safer as an incountry as opposed to being a part of the European Union . Yes, i do. Dont forget in november we had horrors in paris. The kalashnikov rifles were used to kill 140. They had come from the trunk of a meter car from berlin. Theyad gone through three or four National Boundaries before being checked. Free movement for the people, and it means Free Movement for guns as well. I think there is going to be to be within europe a National Reassessment of National Boundaries and National Security. Frankly, thats good common sense. I mean, look, we had we had 11 years ago in london we had our own terrorist attack. Yeah weve got problems in our country already. But every single day there are thousands of people coming across the mediterranean, many of them needy, worthy people. But among them are the isis terrorists are using the migrant crisis to smuggle jihadists between europe. And logically, whether one likes it or not britain would be safer exiting and controlling its borders. Do you think these attacks could have been stopped or hampered if there was not Free Movement across borders . I think if one is honest about it the problem is more deep rooted. And many European Countries have pursued Mass Immigration policies at the level that has been too great without sufficient integration. Weve seen the ghettoization of our cities. Its in that environment that im afraid this horrible horrible form of jihadiism has taken root. There is a problem already that exists. Its the fate weve made. You are saying this makes it worse . If im not mistaken a fair number of the jihadis have been bellian citizens or french citizens, not people who necessarily would have been migrants from syria or libya or another part of the word, and had been long time residents of those areas. Or born there. Or born there. Im making that point that their parents would have come. You know, we pursued since 1950s, 60s. 70s. We have pursued liberal immigration policies. Sadly the level of immigration hasnt come with integration. Led to ghettoization. And in it we see young males who have not done well educationally or in the jobs market and who have been tempted by jihadism. Im not saying we dont have a problem. We do. What im saying is we are adding to that problem every single day with what is coming into europe across the mediterranean. One of the members of nato has described what happened with the Immigration Crisis as a new cancer. And the boss of euro poll says there could be as many as 5,000 jihadi fighters who have come into europe in the last 18 months posing as refugees. Is it fair to penalize the 95 of those who are not involved in maldoings, to punish them for takts of the 5 . Im not suggesting penalizing anybody. What i am saying is that if the European Union continues to admit a couple of Million People every single year through the mediterranean without the ability, the Security Check or background check on anybody, then im afraid were building up even bigger problems for the future and im quite certain that the u. S. A. Would not allow such a thing. Nigel we have got to leave it there, nigel farage, the u. K. Independence party leader. Well take a quick break.

Imim sue herera with breaking news on the still developing story of those explosions in brussels. Police in brussels have issued a wanted notice for a man suspected in tuesdays bomb attacks at the Brussels Airport. Police are calling for information as they issued this photograph those are the three suspects. They are focusing in on the gentleman in the white coat and the black hat pushing a luggage trolley. Apparently, he may have survived this particular attack. There is an isolated photo of him. And police want any information about that suspect. Keep in mind, they also found an undetonated explosive device possibly a suicide belt at the airport. And they then detonated that device. That could have, they are speculating could have belonged to that person there, that man who is a suspect in carrying out the bombing at the Brussels Airport. So thats a Surveillance Video thats isolated of the three suspects. They are focusing in and want information and have put out a warrant on the man dressed in the white coat and the black hat. Ty, back to you. Are we going to look at the pound versus the dollar . Lets look at the pound dollar as we put it in the context of the attacks in brussels today. We can call that up. And there you see the pound moving i guess thats up against the u. S. Dollar. I can never kell with the gold carats there. And then there is red numbers. So its down i guess against the u. S. Dollar. Lets bring in bill george. Bill, welcome, good to have you with us. I note that you lived in brussels for some years. What are your recollections of that city . And how really heart breaking is it for you to see whats going on there today . Thank you, taylor. Firs
