Hello, I'm Ros Atkins, this is Outside Source.

These brothers have been identified as carrying out the Brussels

bombings at the airport and the Metro. We will tell you who they are

underlings to the Paris attackers. Earlier, in minute's silence was

held across Belgium to remember those who died. We will be live in

Brussels shortly. Also we will go to the BBC newsroom in Washington to

talk about these two. Further victories mean it's more likely than

ever that the next President will be one of them. I'm just as we did

yesterday... If you have questions about the ramifications, use this

hash tag, I live in the BBC newsroom and I will try and get you answers.

After the attack in Brussels, this was the reality today... Huge queues

of people, hundreds and hundreds lining up to get onto public

transport. This was a station in the centre of town. Huge queues because

of the inevitable security checks following the attacks yesterday.

Further confirmation of the number of people who lost their lives.

These figures assured from the Belgian Health Minister, ten dead at

the airport, 21 at the Metro station. 260 people at least

injured. We know a large more about the people behind the Brussels

attacks. This is Khalid and Ibrahim el-Bakraoui, the suicide bombers at

the station and the airport respectively. We know some of the

attackers left an apartment in an area of Brussels cold Schaerbeek and

they took a taxi to the airport, not long afterwards CCTV caught images

of three men in the terminal, we know the man in the middle is one of

the brothers, one of the other two is thought to be a man cold mad Jim

luck Riley, different media reporting different things. The man

right remaining on the run, these two died in the expulsions. These

brothers work already being sought by the police. The last few hours,

this has come out from the Turkish government. The Turkish President

saying one of the Brussels attackers was caught in Turkey in June and

deported to Belgium. We understand that his Brahim el-Bakraoui. This is

the Interpol website. It's an international policing organisation.

Listing the other brother as being wanted on terrorism charges. Both

men very much known to be a 30s. There are two other key points that

I want to make. Regarding these brothers. You remember this time

last week we reported a police raid in the south of Brussels? An area

cold Forest. The flat they are that was raided, being rented by one of

the brothers. Some people escaped the raid and were not caught, this

may have been them. Then... Let's bring in Salah Abdeslam. His

fingerprints found on the flat, one of the suspects in the Paris

attacks, a direct connection between those involved in Paris and those in

Brussels. Here is our European editor.

Silence spoke far louder than words in Brussels today.

In sadness for the victims of yesterday's bombings.

In fear that there will be a next time.

And that next time, it could be them.

But there is a strong sense here of defiance, too.

Long-live Belgium, these people shouted.

And on a massive manhunt for all those linked to this,

yesterday's devastating bombing at Brussels Airport

Police say they are looking for this man.

There is confusion about his identity, but it is believed

he could have raised the casualties can even higher.

he could have raised the casualties count even higher.

TRANSLATION: The third suspect, wearing a light-coloured coat

and hat is on the run, he left a large bag and departed

His bag contained the biggest explosive device.

Shortly after the arrival of the bomb disposal unit,

the bag was detonated because of the volatility

The other two men in this photo were suicide bombers.

In the middle, Brahim el-Bakraoui, a Belgian national.

Police have found a note in which he writes that he is under

pressure and on the run to avoid arrest.

Belgian media said he had recently been linked to the Paris

This is his brother Khalid, the metro suicide bomber.

Today, Belgium's Prime Minister accompanied the country's king

and queen to visit some of the 260 injured yesterday.

Julian Firkin was one of the lucky ones.

He and his girlfriend emerged unscathed, physically at least.

The second explosion happened, and at that point I jumped on top

of her and grabbed her suitcase and kind of held that over the top

of both of us just to protect us from the ceiling,

The commotion died down a little bit, but there was lots of screaming

and people running around, and then the airport staff came

running and screaming and shouting at everyone to get out

of the building, evacuate, evacuate, as quickly as you can.

This city is still digesting the full horror of yesterday's

attacks, but on the surface at least, there is a sense of life

It is not that commuters here have forgotten about the attacks one day

on, or that they don't care or they are unaware of the warnings

But this is a gritty, down-to-earth city.

The attitude here it is, life has to go on.

People are grateful for the extra security.

Maybe it is not in Brussels, maybe it is another country.

TRANSLATION: There is a risk, but keeping our jobs mean taking

trains, and at least there are more police here now.

More police, more soldiers, more security checks at train

Most people here tell you they refuse to be scared,

Ben Brown has been reporting all day from Brussels. He joins us now. If I

compare what was said at the start of today and now, the information

ebbing and flowing from the authorities? Yes, it does, we

started the day with reports that one of the suspects, Najim

Laachraoui had been arrested in the Anderlecht area of the city. Then

there was news that he hadn't been arrested. And now, we hear from some

sources in Paris and some Belgian news agencies... That actually this

man whose name was issued may have been one of the bombers at the

airport who blew himself up. One of the suicide bombers. Not on the run

at all, but it is clear that one man from the trio of suspects who was

seen going into the airport before the taxes on the run and a very

wanted man at the moment. But the investigation and the Belgian

prosecutor have confirmed that two brothers were central to the attacks

yesterday. Khalid and Ibrahim el-Bakraoui, these brothers, one

attack the airport and one in the Metro and they seemed to be

absolutely central London are all sorts of connections between the

attackers who struck with such deadly force yesterday and the

attacks in Paris and its clear that the Belgian police, the Belgian

authorities, had underestimated the extent of the terror network, living

and preparing for attacks in the city. It seems remarkable, they may

have underestimated it, since the Paris attacks has been such focus on

the one area of Brussels, associated with radical Islam? Yes, areas like

Molenbeek, which is worse Salah Abdeslam was from and he was the one

that escape the Paris attacks and escaped to Belgium and he was

arrested on Friday in the heart of the Molenbeek area of Brussels.

Actually, just a few hundred yards from his family home, where he was

brought up and that arrest last Friday seems to have been pivotal in

what happened on Tuesday. In terms of the attacks. It's clear that

Salah Abdeslam was an accomplice of the men who attacked yesterday. And

that when they knew he had been arrested, it seems quite likely that

they decided that if he was being interrogated by the police and the

authorities in custody, he might give the police their names, their

addresses, information about their plans and so they decided that

perhaps they should go ahead with whatever attacks they had planned

and get on with them. We heard from the Belgian prosecutor in his

statement today, that one of the suicide bombers, Brahim el-Bakraoui.

He left a note, a last will and testament, I do not know what to do,

I am in a hurry, people are searching for me everywhere and if I

cell. In other words, he did not cell. In other words, he did not

want to be captured, he knew then net was closing after the arrest of

Salah Abdeslam last Friday and he thought that he would go on was

launching an attack. That is that the re-police are working on. Often

after attacks like these, the first 24-36 hours or about the grief and

mourning those who have been lost but there is a point when these

stories become political, I wonder if the country has reached that

point? I don't think possibly yet, I still think this is raw, quite

frankly. Look at the scene behind becoming you can see people who have

come to this square here in the heart of Brussels and this has

become a kind of focal point for the grieving, the morning. They are

lighting candles, there has been a vigil since yesterday. And

throughout the night. They are lighting candles, laying flowers,

holding up the Belgian flag, as you can see, behind me, there are

banners with slogans like United against hatred and there was in a's

silence here earlier today for the victims of the attacks and after

that, a lot of applause, singing, chanting and people wanting to say

that they won't be beaten by terror. Yes, there are politics and there

will be politics, particularly accusations against the Belgian

security services, did they fail with their intelligence again after

the Paris attacks and now these Brussels attacks? But I think

overall, the mood amongst the people is to mourn and grieve but also to

show the world and Islamic State that they will not be defeated and

they won't live their lives in fear. Thank you. Ben Brown live with us

from Brussels and to reiterate what we said earlier... This is not what

we were being told a couple of hours ago. Chris Morris, one of our

correspondence based in Brussels, to add of the three suspects seen on

CCTV remain unidentified, the man on the right is the one who is on the

run. Earlier we were told that we knew who to of the men were, now we

can say that, only the man in the middle, one of the brothers... We

can't be sure who the others are. We will spend most of the hour talking

about Brussels but we will take a few minutes to go to Washington

later. These two, Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump, making big strides

towards becoming the nominees of the US presidential election.

Two British students had been conveyed but of plotting dry by

terror attacks in London inspired by the Islamic State group. Suhaib

Majeed on the right was convicted of conspiracy to murder and preparation

of terrorist acts, the ringleader on the left, Tarik Hassane had pleaded

guilty to the same charges. In essence, what both these men were

said to have planned to carry out was a drive-by shooting on the

streets of West London. Not far from further grew up, they wanted to get

hold of a non-traceable mopeds, a gun am a silencer and ammunition,

identified targets which turned out potentially to be Shepherd's Bush

police station in the west of the capital and in nearby Territorial

Army base and in the autumn of 2014, carry out this attack from the back

of op-ed. The court heard that both men were effectively immersed in a

warped ideology of so-called Islamic State extremism.

We are alive at the BBC newsroom. The lead story... These brothers

have been identified as carrying out the Brussels bombing at the city's

airports and a Metro station. A look at the main stories from the BBC

World Service... Police in China after 1037 people in connection with

close to $90 million worth of vaccines being sold illegally. BBC

Chinese has that story. The new Chinese Finance Minister... Has a

fake degree in finance. He's admitted buying a bogus PhD online.

BBC Birmingham has the story. Lots of you watching this chase, to

recapture a zebra in Japan. Unfortunately it ended with its

death, was broadcast live on television, shot with a

tranquilliser dart but collapsed into a lake and died. That is on the

BBC news. Just as we are starting to learn

about the attackers in Brussels, we are also starting to learn about

their victims. The Belgian Health Minister visiting a hospital said

this earlier... If the images yesterday were of the

destruction created by the bombs, the images today are of the city

responding. Let's see some of the pictures coming in today. This is

King Philippe laying a wreath at the airport. You can see the King with

the Prime Minister of Belgium, visiting one of the 25 hospitals

where the injured are being treated. This is a little bit earlier. By the

Metro station attacked. Jean-Claude Juncker... Manuel Valls... The

French Prime Minister. Many people paying their respects in different

ways. The next report from Brussels comes from Lucy Williamson. She has

the stories of some of those caught up in the attacks.

Among the questions left by Tuesday's attacks is this one.

What happened to British IT contractor David Dixon?

After two days searching the hospitals here, his partner

David left for work yesterday as usual.

Maelbeek station was not far from his office.

After the explosion there at 9am, Charlotte tried to reach him.

270 people from dozens of countries are now known to have been injured

Inside this hospital, two British survivors lie

While their relatives wait for news, in a separate part of the hospital,

other families of other victims begin the grim process

Among the first deaths to be confirmed was 20-year-old Leopold

A law student at Saint Louis University here in Brussels.

And Peruvian Adelma Tapia Ruiz who died during the airport attack.

Her four-year-old twin girls survived the blast because they ran

Her brother described it as incomprehensible.

TRANSLATION: She had twins called Maureen and Elondra.

They were in the Brussels airport too.

They were connecting through to New York to meet

She also planned to come back to Peru this year,

Tonight in Brussels there is solidarity in Europe's anger

But terrorism's toughest challenge is private.

For some these were not just attacks on their home values

but on the people they love the most.

A reminder that all of the coverage from the BBC on the Brussels attacks

is being joined together and you can download it on your phone at any

time and contact the BBC News website. Let's take a moment to talk

about these two, Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton, both dry to win the

Republican and Democratic nominations for the US presidential

elections and they had a good day yesterday, winning the Arizona

primary is, there were carcasses in Utah and Idaho, one by Ted Cruz and

Bernie Sanders. But with all due respect, in terms of the elections,

they don't matter as much as Arizona which is why it was a good day for

Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump. Look at the current rate...

All of that said... There was good news for Ted Cruz. A man closest to

Donald Trump. Here is Jeb Bush, spent a novel lot of money dry to

become the next President, he dropped out of the Republican race

and he has endorsed Ted Cruz saying...

The thing is, if I had if I had a pound for every person who said Ted

Cruz was divisive, I will be a rich man. This is the big irony, Ted Cruz

is becoming the establishment party picked to go up against mould Trump

and Jeb Bush and met Ronnie, are making the point that he is the only

hope, the only one with any kind of a chance, of if not catching Donald

Trump, denying him 1237 delegates to secure the nomination before the

convention. Will this carry political weight given the

criticisms that Jeb Bush handed out to Ted Cruz during his campaign? I

don't think it's going to move a lot of votes. Ted Cruz is the only one

who can possibly stop Trump... It could direct more money towards Ted

Cruz but this problem is not money, he has a fair amount of it, the only

thing it could do is put a nail in Eleanor Coughlan of the third

candidate still running, John Keswick. He tells everyone a move to

Ted Cruz will do my people. A quick word about Hillary Clinton, most

commentators seem to think he she is getting close to getting its own,

and Arizona Mark Immelman for her? It was definitely a big win for her.

She racked up such a big moment, she is continuing her march towards the

nomination, making up for losses in Idaho and Utah which had much fewer

delegates at stake. She is looking good and continuing to chip along.

Staying with American politics, President Obama moving from Cuba to

Argentina, the strip about trade but it's coinciding with the 40th

anniversary of the military coup in Argentina that installed a dictator.

That anniversary is creating extra issues. Here is a report from Buenos

Aires. This lady survived the dictatorship, her mother was

pregnant when she was arrested and tortured by the dictator. She was

born in prison, her father was arrested and detained, she never met

him. For victims of the dictatorship March the 24th 1976 remains a

traumatic date. A coup or not they marched the start of seven years of

state-sponsored terror. The US government initially supported the

Argentine military which systematically tortured, killed and

has appeared thousands of alleged opponents. Many of the survivors are

now questioning the US President's visit on the coup anniversary.

TRANSLATION: For us, he is not welcome. He is not simply President

Obama, he is the President of the United States, country that within

Latin America during the Cold War was directly behind dictatorship. We

don't like it. This man is an artist to survive the dictatorship. The

injection that was meant to put him to sleep before throwing him off a

plane was ready and international pressure led to a last-minute call

that turned back that death flights. TRANSLATION: He is the President of

the country that always tries to influence and colonise Latin

America. It is very unsettling that Barack Obama is visiting us on the

24th of March. It's an aggression against the Argentine people. The US

government has never apologised about its alleged involvement during

Argentina's dirty war. But ahead of the visit, it announced it would

declassify military and intelligence records of the dictatorship. On the

one hand we may not find information specifically on the US role in

supporting the dictatorship but on the other hand, the result is that

information can be found on specific cases of victims. And it will take

some time but we have seen the previous round of declassification

was very helpful in the trials here. President Obama will be here on the

anniversary of the cook recognising the victims of the dirty war may be

an important first step in healing the long-standing rift between the

United States and South America. In a couple of minutes we will turn

back to the Brussels attacks. Christian Fraser will explain how

some of those involved in these attacks are connected to some of

those who carried out the attacks in Paris. That is coming up in a

moment.
