Two people have been arrested in Belgium on suspicion of planning imminent attacks in Brussels, the federal prosecutor’s office said.

A cafe where five people were killed by Islamic gunmen terrorising central Paris has reopened for business.

Schools and much of the Brussels metro system reopened yesterday as the Belgian capital started to return to normal after four days of lockdown, but troops on the street were a reminder it remains on alert.

With France still reeling from the attacks that killed 129 and wounded hundreds, France’s lower house of parliament, the National Assembly, has voted to extend a state of emergency for three months. The measure now goes to the Senate, where it is likely to be approved.
