:02:23. > :02:27.the police have sealed off this area in Forest. I have been here in the
:02:28. > :02:32.daytime and it is busy, packed with people. In the street they launched
:02:33. > :02:35.the raid, they were met with gunfire, but we know what brought
:02:36. > :02:41.them here were investigations following the Paris attacks. Dozens
:02:42. > :02:46.of armed police units moved into this district of Brussels in the
:02:47. > :02:51.afternoon. They sealed off a series of streets, bringing the entire area
:02:52. > :02:55.to a standstill. There had been a police raid here shortly after
:02:56. > :03:01.lunchtime. As they moved in, the officers were met with sustained
:03:02. > :03:06.gunfire. People were told to stay indoors, unable to move us police
:03:07. > :03:09.hunted their suspects. The burst of gunfire came a little down to one
:03:10. > :03:15.side where the operation has been focused. Also up there is a school,
:03:16. > :03:20.where there were five classes of toddlers who were trapped in there,
:03:21. > :03:26.being cared for by their teachers were there parents were unable to

:03:32. > :03:36.attacks last November. Much of the planning and preparation for those
:03:37. > :03:40.attacks happened here in Brussels. Belgian police have been searching
:03:41. > :03:47.for two prime suspects linked to the attacks ever since. TRANSLATION: Two
:03:48. > :03:52.individuals are apparently holed up in the building. A security cordon
:03:53. > :03:57.has been set up by police and special forces teams are in position
:03:58. > :04:00.along with Federal police so the operation is ongoing. Police have
:04:01. > :04:05.not said who the targets of this raid were but it's known that armed
:04:06. > :04:15.French officers were also involved in today's operation. A short time

:09:09. > :09:13.drawn into a messy quagmire, which Russians back home might not
:09:14. > :09:18.support. The main goal is to start to pull out before Russia will get
:09:19. > :09:24.dragged into this mess because I don't think anybody in Moscow
:09:25. > :09:31.believes seriously that Syria and the Middle East can be stabilised
:09:32. > :09:35.and settled any time soon. Plus Russia is hedging its bets. On the
:09:36. > :09:39.one hand this is a partial pull-out, there will still be hundreds of
:09:40. > :09:48.troops protecting Russia's airbase in Syria, poised to attack what they
:09:49. > :09:54.call terrorist gangs. On the other hand Syria have been remarkably
:09:55. > :09:59.reluctant to protect the Islamic State, perhaps to avoid making
:10:00. > :10:04.Russia itself a target. Then there is what this pull-back says about Mr
