ABC NewsMail - Afternoon Edition

Good afternoon. Here's what's happening now:

  • Sixteen people are in Belgian police custody after being arrested in a series of raids across the country. Authorities say Paris attacks suspect Salah Abdeslam is not among them. The security lockdown might be over but Brussels remains on high alert indicating authorities believe an attack is imminent

  • There has been a shooting at a playground in New Orleans and 16 people have been hospitalised. Reports out of the US say "two groups were firing shots back and forth" at the park where a music video was being filmed. So far, reports say no children but some teenagers are among the injured

  • Our politics live blog returned today. The PM spoke French in the chamber when he delivered "sincere condolences" to the people of France

Remember Ashbygate? It's back. But as Paula Matthewson writes for The Drum, it's not something Malcolm Turnbull should take lightly

Here's what's coming up tonight:

  • 8:30pm: Four Corners airs its Plan of Attack: The Making of a Teenage Terrorist story on ABC. The preview to this piece has been well read on our site today. Catch up here
