As It Happens, Tuesday Edition

Part One

Brussels attacks
A city torn apart. First, the Brussels airport, then a subway station: a series of bombings kill dozens of people and wound more than two hundred others — and ISIS has claimed responsibility. We'll speak with a witness who had just dropped his girlfriend off at the airport — and a member of parliament who warns against an overreaction to the attacks. 

UN High Commissioner for Refugees
United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees Filippo Grandi says today's attack in Belgium should only steel Canada's resolve to help find a lasting solution to Syria's refugee crisis.
