checking in with fox. >> doug: and the latest on what is happening overseas, doug. >> good morning, well you just mentioned these terror attacks and series would appear to be terror attacks in brussels not just at the airport but metro station there as well. we're still kind of waiting to get more information on this. we don't at this point as far as we know have a claim of responsibility here but the timing is certainly interesting given the fact it's a few days after arrest of one of the prime suspects in last year's paris terror attacks in a neighborhoods just outside of brussels, timing here would certainly lead one to believe that this could be a resfons that arrest. but we just don't know at this point and we're just in the process of trying to ascertain the full scope of the attacks and again the number of fatalities keeps creeping up and the ap reporting now that at least 13 but that number may go up significantly as the day progressing here. >>

where they are now. that terror threat at highest level and what are you hearing as far as people listening to that and just sort of staying put. >> well, sorry i missed beginning of that but the embassy in belgium is uming americans to what they refer to shelter in place kind of stay put while all this plays out. it will be interesting to see the response here in the united states. we have not heard much at this point as to whether airports will be on heightened levels of alert here at home and it is certainly a possibility given the nrakt are other airports now that we're hearing about in both the uk and in france, for instance, that are mightening their levels of security in response to what happened in brussels we have not heard anything from tsa as i heard at this point and certainly possible we'll hear something from them very, very shortly we may hear something from white house
