ABC NewsMail - Morning Edition

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

  • We know more about the two suicide bombers who carried out twin blasts in the Brussels airport. They've been identified as two brothers known to police. They had a history of organised crime and were linked to the Paris attacks. ABC correspondent Barbara Miller says: "One of them in fact left what prosecutors described as a will ... he talked of being fearful of feeling that he was being hunted, a sense that things were closing in around him "

  • Remember "Choppergate"? It prompted a review into politicians' entitlements but an ABC Freedom of Information review has revealed Bronwyn Bishop did not contribute to the probe. Nick Xenophon says that showed "real wisdom" ...

  • Prince Harry's reluctance to settle down is popular in the tabloids ... and in Nepal. He's on a royal tour in the Himalayan nation and is being used as an unmarried role model in a campaign against child marriage
