we'll see. >> paul brennan, thank you. for more on this, we're joined on the line by security analyst justin crump. i don't know how much you have been able to hear, but it really does seem that after four months of -- of the investigation going on, all of this really happened over the past four days. >> very quickly, indeed, really, given how long they have been looking for this individual. as you said, almost europe's most wanted, and very close to where we have been looking for him since the end of november and beginning of december. and it was reported not long after the paris attacks he was seen saying he was in brussels. i think that shows the movement of people is perhaps more difficult than we may have feared recently. one other good thing is he is the last surviving attacker that we have caught of the attacks, he is therefore, again, very useful for information, and that is going to be key. >> and the fact that it may well be that he has been in brussels all of this time, do you think that will be seen as a failur

paul brennan be reports. >> reporter: how many attackers? cctv showed three, two known dead and one on the run. but be belgian officials believe there may be two still at large. and as the manhunt widens, serious questions are being asked about the belgian police forces. in january 2010, bakraoui was involved and in september 2010 he was convicted and sentenced to ten years in prison but october of 2014 he was released on parole and subsequently absconded. the first be affiliation with i.s.i.l. was in 2015, a month later he agreed to be luntarily deported back to the nrldz. are netherlands. netherlands. >> what seems to appear from the investigation from what has happened, is that we have underestimated the role or the be intentions of a number of individuals. that's one thing. and the other thing is: we have probably underestimated the scope of the cell that was involved in the paris attacks in the first place. and then, subsequently, in the brussels attacks. >> reporter: more survivors are starting to speak. many suffered severe burns. pha

paul brennan on the edge of that crowd. paul i know i can see behind you, you have people in fluorescent jackets, crosses on their backs, first responders i imagine. responsible for clearing up after the events earlier this week? >> reporter: that's right, david. there was a facebook idea put around friday, today, around 6:30.gmt, that they should do a minute silence. it's not just tourists or well wishers or mourners, just general people from brussels. all the fluorescent jackets are members of the his majesty's service. police officers. all of whom were involved in one way or another in the dreadful aftermath of the incidents. obviously since tuesday there has been candle lit expressions of grief, almost a healing process for the people of brussels and particularly for these emergency service workers all gathered together in this way four days on in order to get together and share their experiences. >> paul, the extraordinary thing about it in many ways is not so much the singing, but the silence as well. it is a powerful

that is paul brennan with the latest from brussels. and much of the investigation into the attacks in paris and brussels have centered on the molenbeek area and jackie roland went to find out more about the area. >> reporter: gained a certain reputation, yes, there are challenges, poverty, unemployment, a young population but it was by no means inevitable that salah abdeslam and some of his friends would be tempted by a message of mass violence. there are more than 20 mosques and informal pray rooms here, that is quite a concentration in one neighborhood but it doesn't provide many clues as to why young people are being radicalized. >> translator: the recruiters have known for a long time they are not welcome in the mosques, no one is listening to them, if you say to someone i want your son to go to syria for jihad everyone says go away and mosques have nothing to do with this. >> reporter: these days young people are more likely to be approached away from the mosque. maybe on the football picture in a cafe. she runs a youth problem at

paul brennan is in the hague. paul? >> yes, the judge sylvia steiner has been summing up the verdict in excess of an hour. there were no surprises that we now discover that she decided that the case against the politician is that he is guilty. he's facing five charges, two cases of crimes against humanity and two war crimes and we've heard the most horrific details of what happened when his private member militia forces moved across the border in the spring of 2003. tales of rape, gang rape, grows sexual humiliation carried out by their soldiers. the question at the heart of this case is ho how much control did he have over their troops. the defense argued that once they crossed into the central african border, they were no longer under his command. what the judges have decided is throughout this whole area he was in effective control of his troops. he had direct line of communication with his generals and he issued disciplinary process against certain soldiers. yet he didn't do anything to stop the kind of crimes that

. >> let's go to paul brennan, he joins us live from brussels. what is the latest from the investigation? >> yes, a couple of interesting developments during the day. most interesting in the last hour, the turkish prime minister has come out and said that one of the bombers was deported from turkey to the netherlands last june, and turkey warned belgium that he had militant leanings, militant tendencies. they did not name which of the bombers it was, and so there is some mystery as to the identify he's talking about. but that is an intriguing development, indeed. as far as the search for the other bombers, in many ways the waters are muddied just a little bit. ibrahim, who was seen in the middle of that trio, he's known as one of the attackers of the airport. but it's known that his brother kalid was at the station and blew himself up at the metro carriage there. the police are trying to work out who are the other two people in that cctv footage because they're not sure. one is obviously known to have blown himself up. they still he not been able

paul brennan reports from brussels. >> reporter: in the middle here is brahim el-bakraoui. on the left is najim laachraoui. the man on the right sfieselc. his device failed to explode and he fled. the belgium media is naming the man. the location of his arrest is extraordinary. this is the man who may be the third airport bomber, with his photo over the region. he was arrested here just outside the federal prosecutor's officers, a place crawling with soldiers and police. there are new names, new connections emerging every day. it is now clear that the paris and brussels attacks were the work of one network, not separate cells. najim laachraoui was connected by dna evidence. salah abdeslam and these three also. najim laachraoui is a suspected bomb maker an his d.n.a. was found on explosives belts used at the bat theater in paris and the stade de france. the bomber was chal who rented the house used before the paris attacks and also the one where salah abdeslam fled after paris. several accomplices are still being hunted, including this man. 101 casualties are still being tre

paul brennan has more. >> no one could have survived what happened march 24, 2015. germanwings 9525 disintegrated on impact. the village nearest to the site has a memorial to the victims here. the haunting question is whether the tragedy could have been avoided in the first place. the germanwings co pilot hat exhibited depression and suicidal thoughts for years but his private doctors never informed aviation authorities or the airline of the danger he posed. issuing their final report into the wider issues of the crash sunday, the french investigation team urged global changes in regulation. >> i think that clearer rules are necessary to define when one can require to preach medical confidentiality, particularly when we're talking about pilots who are responsible for carrying passengers. it needs first a balance between medical and public security. >> there are 11 recommend is as, including a call for medical checks to be made every three or six months instead of annually. pilots with depression would not necessarily be barred from flying which should be more closel

paul brennan is live in brussels. the stern of the city was shut down pretty much need at -- immediately. security forces telling people to stay where they are. as that changed? >> reporter: it has reduced somewhat. the area over my shoulder, difficult to zoom in, because we might lose the signal, there is about a 300-meter section of this air carriageway through the center of the city which remains shut off. in that is where the metro station is. we have seen in the last 10, 15 minutes, a large group, more than a dozen officers with forensic white suits emerge and disappear. it appears that already shift they were working on underground at the sight of the explosion. we also heard earlier that the area of the explosion has now been cleared of casualties and fatalities. but with regards to your primary question, which is the police cordon. people were initially told to stay in doors. now the cordon has shrunk. the area inside the cordon is now outside. and many people stuck in their offices all day have now been allow

let's go now to our correspondent paul brennan who is there in paris, very interesting, paul, that angela merkel as well as francois hollande emphasized that it is important to speak to russia about adhering to this current ceasefire in syria. >> reporter: yeah, as you say very much a realization that the cause and effect of the syrian conflict and the refugee crisis is there for all to see and addressing one without addressing the other is simply a nonstarter so it's important they said the two leaders said they had this telephone conference call with the russian leader vladimir putin and british prime minister david cameron as well and i will go through some points of what we just heard and the french president francois hollande said hostilities needed to be observed everywhere and the only way it could be broken is against the al-nusra front and if there was anything less than observing through the whole of syria then it would be a break down of the cessation of the hostilities and not a helpful situation and said there would be further phone calls regarding vladimir putin and said it

i'm joined now by paul brennan. he spent time in mollenbeck following the investigation of the paris attacks. paul, we have some footage of a man we don't know his identity being dragged by police into a car. >> yes, i've had a chance to look a little bit more detail at this footage. it's impossible to confirm whether or not it is salah be abdeslam. the person confirmed by police officers, they are pointing the automatic rifles at the suspect. he appears to be injured in the leg. he is limping. his right leg is not supporting his weight. and that if you put the to twoagtwotogether, might make yoe that individual is salah abdeslam. he's keeping that right leg up. that would indicate that perhaps, of the two people that we knew had been arrested at that phase of the operation the person we are seeing in the video there is salah abdeslam. but as i say no confirmation from the authorities. >> what we see in those pictures seem to be consistent with reports that abdeslam suffered from a leg injury and of course, police w

brennan joins us now from london, interesting developments there paul, what will the impact be? >> indeed. well the impact will be far reaching jane. we knew about the mechanics of this crash very early on, the black box recorders were recovered from that hill side in the french alps and the preliminary report issued two months after the crash in may of 2015 so we knew exactly how the copilot locked his captain out of the cockpit and calmly steered the auto pilot of the german wings plane into the hill side killing 149 people aboard the plane, what the final report from french air accident investigators have gone in wide and systemic issues that allowed it to happen and ways they recommend can be changed to prevent it from happening again, there are 11 recommends they have issued. they have said that lubitz was consulting doctors for some period of time, for years before the fatal crash but there was an issue because the doctors were not obliged to tell the regulators or indeed his employer that he was having mental problems. one of the recommendations of the air accident invest
