catherine soi. al jazeera. >> downtown beirut feels like one big building site these days. old quarters have been beautilly restored and modern towers have been built where bombed out buildings once stood. the prices for these newly built properties are high and few lebanese can afford to buy here. but these developments are not marketed at locals. they're most often sold to wealthy buyers from the gulf. saudi arabia alone accounts for 85% of foreigners investing in property in lebanon. their real estate holdings are valued at $6 billion. still, it would appear saudi interest in lebanon's property market is declining, sharply. in 2015 the number of sails to gulf citizens dropped by a third. >> it has to do with the political tensions that broke out in the war in syria. a lot of people lost interest in the lebanese market, but they made a handsome profit in lebanon for quite a long time. >> whatever the case, gulf investment in the higher end of lebanon's property market helped to keep the industry relatively stable. but over the past month an escalating dispute between the

catherine? >> having reviewed the footage three things jump out at me first and foremost when you look at the video you see the apartment÷y was on the top floor. that is not an accident. that's a part of the;?8 apartment building where it has the least traffic from other occupants and visitors. so the cell's activities was less likely to arouse suspicion what you look at the apartment now you see the apartment was virtually not lived. in it virtually stored as a lab for the making and storing of the bombs. that means it's part of a larger network of apartments where these guys were living. you take up this one apartment you have broken out network. apartment. that was broken. that would arouse a lot of the suspicion of the investigators it was likely a plant with leads that would send them in the wrong direction. >> i would lvá"tij know who who rented it under what condition. what the person saw, how long was it rented? did you ever see anything unusual? was there anything delivered there? t

catherine, good evening. >> late today, u.s. government officials confirm to fox news the two brothers, khalid and ibrahim el bakraoui were on the terror watch list. in a perfect world, there would have prevent them pr entering the united states. what we don't know is when they got on the list and whether travel to syria was involved. >> also today we have a new isis propaganda video that specifically mentions brussels. >> it is a nine-minute video. i've watched it in its entirety. it is sitting on the shelf waiting. it is book ended by news reports at the beginning and the sxenl thinlt show cases the belgian foreign fighters. it does not have interviews. this in no way is a matter dom video. just promising that more attack are in the pipeline. >> we heard from the fbi, the attorney general, anything we're learning about any u.s. connections? >> there is a news conference about some cyber indictments. they did take questions and said so far they're not seeing any credible evidence. right now the fbi director is focused on two th

catherine herridge joins us live. isis has released a new video, catherine. >> reporter: that's right, good afternoon. this is a carbon copy of some of the videos we've seen in response to the attacks in europe. what's striking about this video is it seems to have prepackaged, kind of sitting on the shelf, waiting for an attack to take place. the only thing relevant to the brussels attacks is at the very beginning, and then again at the end. the middle showcases so-called foreign fighters from belgium. interestingly enough, it is not a martyrdom video. it does not have individual of the handful of individuals who took part in tuesday's attack. so it was sitting on the shelf waiting. they added the news footage and then rolled it out as their way of saying, more is in the pipeline, abby. >> we know that europe is on high alert right now. how is this new information impacting the fbi and what they're doing at home? >> reporter: at the start of the show we heard from loretta lynch, who spoke to reporters this morning, wh

. >> for more on the investigation in brussels, we'll go to catherine who is live forrous capitol hill. >> reporter: i came back from a briefing from the house intelligence. based on the evidence, he sees clear connection between the paris attackers last november and this group in brussels this week. even if they catch the guy in the white who is a fugitive at this hour, he did not think that the cell would be effectively shut down. nuniz has been receiving intelligence briefings since the attack on tuesday, told us based on the totality of the evidence he believes that the terrorist were targeting the american citizens. the attack was on the metro subway nor the american embassy and airport, two explosions were near the three american couriers in the ticketing haul, american, delta and united airlines. in the meantime we heard from the president about his strategy and he put it this way. >> as it's challenging to find, identify, very small groups of people who are willing to die themselves and can walk in a crowd and detonate a bomb. and my charge to my team is to find every strategy

not a shock, we heard catherine herridge, i asked her yesterday, is there connection between the as as as as tone per rocks side after the -- per rocks side. after decades of this is why you trump is doing as well as he is. harris: bring it back to the conversation about refugees and about illegal immigration and immigration for europe. this is not illegal. these are the people that they have let into their country and allowed to have that. molenbeek, that suburb of brussels, burgeoning. i said yesterday, anti-radicalization expert said they are a breeding ground for the second and third generations coming in, those young kids that feel disenfranchised to join up with groups like al qaeda and isis. what you're talking about too, that other intersection is this neighborhood. it isn't just they can put things together and have the same materials but they have that support, that support of that neighborhood. that cover of that neighborhood. >> do you remember that when the terrorist attack happened in san bernanadino the first one to come out and say, hey, the family members of the attack

bill: catherine, you have two brothers involved. one hit the airport, the other hit the train station. you had two brothers in boston. you had two brothers in paris. you have two brothers now. what we to understand two people from the same family trying to kill as many people as possible? >> reporter: we learned through our reporting over the years it is not uncommon for there to be familial ties in small cell operations because this is way to keep a close hold on the information and avoid leakage that would allow authorities to intervene and thwart the plot. meantime a intelligence source with first-hand knowledge of the investigation on the ground in brussels is providing fox news with new information what happened at the airport. there were two explosions. one in aisle three of ticketing hall and the other in aisle 11. the bombers concentrated on highest concentration of specific pangsers and not the airline. the attack on crowded subway train happened near the european parliament in a neighborhood also home to american embassy i

i'll let catherine talk about that. >> nichole: speaking of the animals they bring to be adopted, animals like peppermint patty here. what kind of dog is he? >> peppermint patty is a 2-month-old border collie mastiff mix. her and her brother who looks just like her are up for >> nichole: i can't imagine they will last long. >> no, no, they'll be gone by the end of the day. they're very sweet. >> nichole: you do amazing work. talk about the animals that you guys adopt out and that you help spay and neuter. >> 15,000 animals come through the apl every year. a vast majority of those are through the trap and release program and our animal welfare clinic tries to basically put ourselves out of business. make sure that cats and dogs, especially ferrell cats around cleveland are -- come here, sweetie. are spayed and neutered so we can control the cat population. there are also dogs like peppermint patty here that come in through the animal transfer system. >> nichole: she wants to get down and run. >> she does. she'll be one of the 6,000 to 7,000 animals we adopt out this year and find homes for

. >> so that could have been the dead man's switch that catherine herridge was telling us. if somebody shoots you, the next thing you know you still accomplish your mission. >> when i heard that yesterday i thought okay these guys, they have been planning this for a long time. that's something they didn't do alone. this is sophisticated. >> sure. >> and lieutenant colonel ralph peters was saying earlier that the police, they need to get into these areas and find these guys before something happens like what we saw yesterday. take a listen. >> got to find a way, it's going to be tough. but you've got to break up these colonies where the police -- it's not that they're no go zones but don't want to go zones like molenbeek, like other slums. if you are unwilling to take that on, the problem will metastasize further. >> that's what happened. they now -- isis is directing the attacks. they're training the people and telling the people how to execute their plans. they have communications. you have to see the sophisticated communique that came out afterwards warning brussels that

catherine herridge is live in washington. what's new on the investigation tonight? >> we first drew your attention to the two men on the left believed to be the suicide bombers. today, a u.s. official confirms the investigators believe the detail is significant, and they're telling congress about it. there are two scenarios being explained to lawmakers the single black glove was described as evidence of a possible detonator. the second scenario that's being briefed is pulled from an al qaeda manual that add vises leather gloves should be worn to avoid a static charge. and the guy on the far right, the video quality is not great, but he appears to be wearing a disguise. the color between his face and nose appear uneven. he was described as an escort and minder to keep the bombers on track. tonight, homeland security issued a statement from secretary johnson saying based on the review of the intelligence, they did not see a specific or credit threat against theite a itunited state this is a similar scenario we saw play out in brussels, yet this was able to go down at

catherine herridge said that hides a detonation device even if the bomber is shot dead. we have julie here. and she is a fox news contributor. thank you for joining us. >> thanks, heather. >> we talked with steve rogers how he referenced this as world war three. you agree. you think it is spreading with europe and u.s. and force us to fight it on home turf. >> that's what they are doing. they are trying to force us to fight the war in not in the middle east. but here at home. it is united states eventually but in the eu. this is a spectacular show with multiple coordinated attacks. not as many that took place in paris. but closely coordinated and successful. and a poor harbinger of things to come. >> what was your opinion on the u.s. response so far and what do you know on the intel. >> specifically what the u.s. intel is doing, is ramp up intelligence sharing and coordination with european counterparts. that is the first necessary step. and the second is to increase monitoring and terrorism suspects that are operating in the united states. and third thing. cordinate clo

we'll get to catherine in a moment. peter king, member of the house intelligence committee and counter terrorism committee. what is a possible solution here short-term. then we'll get into the long-term effects of this. >> we should never let our guard down. i think this is a wake-up call to europe about how they have to increase their surveillance and counter-terrorism. over the years they lagged behind us. they are now becoming more aware and alert. except for the british, the other countries have not been as forward leaning as they should be. this is going to go on. it's a reminder to us in this country never to let our guard down. we have to maintain surveillance and be aggressive. we have to go after them and kill them before they kill us. bill: you heard john kasich say the president needs to come home now and acertain global leadership immediately. this is an historic trip. something he wanted to do for quite some time. do you remember this reaction the attacks in paris when he was speaking at the g-8 summit in t

catherine, i want to talk specifically about europe and the impact of europe has some strong views expressed on this rope her into the effect that this attack makes it more likely that they will leave europe. it makes it less like he to put their people into europe, 78 million by june. the political future of angela merkel is very much in doubt. in other words, strong repercussions for europe. you agree with that? >> yes, i do. all of these are likely scenarios for the future. britain has taken a different approach for europe. this is clearly challenged them. britain has taken a different approach and so far it's worked a little bit better for them. for them to want to put distance between themselves and europe makes a lot of sense. stuart: but the migrant crisis of the million people trying to get men, defenses are growing up. now we have this opposing deal between angela merkel and the turks, whereby the turks would take a few refugees come to keep them there and in return, 7,078,000,000 turks get a zip rate access to western europe by june. i can't believe that aspect of the deal will go

according to catherine heritage reporting, she raises the critical question, it is the signature of the suicide vest, is it similar to those used in the paris terror attacks? that would point to some sort of coordination. aviation, airports, air travel still a critical target of terrorists and increasing target we have seen with the downing of the russian jetliner. again, air travel still a critical target for terrorist attacks around the world. maria: police stepped up presence across europe, british police stepping up presence at transit hubs. megan mccain, we heard from your father who laid it out in terms of being the new normal. >> it is frustrating for those of us who knew this was coming for a long time. this administration continues, we don't call this islamic extremism, continues to call this the jv team. when i came on the show to see this happening you can't help but fear this will be here in new york city. i feel like we are not doing anything, we are not facing the reality of the world that we live in. unbelievably frustrating and scary. i want any leader to tell me somethi

my 5-year-old catherine could climb that fence in three seconds flat. so we were there with a bunch of reporters, we're down on the border. the reporters decided -- the camera shot isn't good enough here, so the reporters jumped over the fence from mexico to get a better camera shot. so they literally crossed illegally into mexico and they just jumped right on over it. and it is an absolute travesty. i met with ranchers down on the border who describe one woman as a rancher there described how apparently one of the drug coyotes had been monitoring her and watching her. and she hides the key somewhere outside and he found the key and she, three different times has come home, and he's let himself into her place. he's showered, made himself a meal, he's slept, washed the dishes, and then locked the door and left. >> is this like the three little bears? >> it is. the ranchers don't look the doors, because every day they face the threat of somebody breaking down. the border patrol is not on the border. they're pulled into the superior 35 or 50 miles north an
