ABC NewsMail - Morning Edition

Good morning. Here's what's happening now.

    Let's take a look at the situation in Belgium:

  • Several police raids are underway across the country after blasts that have killed 34 people and left more than 200 injured

  • The string of attacks targeted a metro station in Brussels as well as the city's airport. Terror group Islamic State has claimed responsibility for them

  • A manhunt is underway for a man seen running from the airport building after twin suicide bombings there

  • Julie Bishop says the Government is "urgently seeking to ascertain whether any Australians were involved. At this stage there are no reports". Follow developments on our live blog
