Good Morning Australia!! - Terrorist attack Brussels, dozens are killed - Dissing female tennis stars doesn't pay - The last chapter of Toronto's former crack-smoking mayor is over- And more in your CareerSpot Global News Briefs:

Terrorists detonated two suicide bombs at the airport in Brussels and an explosion tore through a subway stop near a cluster of European Union buildings in the Belgian capital.  At least 34 people are killed, and more than 70 are injured.  "This is a day of tragedy, a black day," said Belgian Prime Minister Charles Michel, "I would like to call on everyone to show calmness and solidarity."  Belgium has put itself on its highest terror alert level, declared three days of mourning, and ordered all national flags to be flown at half-staff.

Police issued an arrest warrant for one of three men caught on CCTV wheeling baggage carts through Brussels International Airport:  Two are believed to have killed themselves and 12-14 innocent travelers in the departure lounge, but the third man dressed in light clothing and wearing a hat got away.  He may still be on the run.  Authorities located and neutralized a third suicide belt found at the scene in the airport terminal.  But an hour later, another blast rocked the subway at Maelbeek metro station near EU headquarters, leaving about 20 people dead.  It was timed just as commuters were making their way to work in rush hour. 

The attack happened just days after security forces dramatically captured Salah Abdeslam, the one surviving terrorist from the 13 November attacks in Paris.  But a post on the so-called Islamic State's "news" agency claimed responsibility for what happened in Brussels, saying that it was in retaliation for to Belgium's support of the international coalition arrayed against the group.  The IS claim said that "several" people attacked the airport and one other attacked the subway.

Investigators have been busy since the attacks.  A major raid took place in Brussels' Schaerbeek district, in which cops say they recovered a nail bomb and bomb-making chemicals.  Amsterdam police fired at least one warning shot while arresting three people at the Dutch city's main railway station, just a couple-three hours away from Brussels.  Meanwhile, Belgium's emergency declaration shut down the border and waved off international flights.  Neighboring countries Germany and France also tightened border controls, and airports and transportation hubs around Europe added security.

Rob Ford is dead of cancer at age 46.  The former crack-smoking mayor of Canada's largest city and business hub had fought a rare and aggressive form of cancer called pleomorphic liposarcoma, which attacks fat cells.  Although he came up in city government with the usual conservative promises to cut spending, he rapidly gained infamy for foul-mouthed statements and outlandish behavior which reached their peak when he admitted he smoked crack.  The Toronto City Council eventually stripped the mayor's office of most of its responsibilities while he was the occupant, and Ford left office in November 2014.

The chief of the Indian Wells Tennis Tournament has been forced to to step down following his astoundingly sexist declaration that female pro-tennis players ride on the men's coattails and should "get down on their knees" in thanks to male counterparts such as Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal.  Women's world number one Serena Williams said 69-year old Raymond Moore's statement was "offensive and very inaccurate".  Retired legend Martina Navratilova said Moore's comments were "extremely prejudiced", and suggested that female players may boycott Indian Wells if Moore were allowed to stay.  I thought we settled this shyte years ago, but apparently a few malcontent trogs still exist.

Brazil President Dilma Rousseff says an impeachment drive against her is a "coup attempt".  President Rousseff was elected to a second term just 14 months ago, but conservative pressure to link her to a scandal at the state run oil company Petrobras (in which she was already cleared) and a faltering economy (ahem, US, ahem, US) have conspired to drive down her popularity ratings.  "I have committed no irregularity. I will never resign," she told a meeting of pro-government lawyers.

Myanmar's incoming government is taking the very unusual step of assigning four portfolios to Nobel laureate and former dissident Aung San Suu Kyi, who will control the Foreign Affairs, Education, and Energy ministries, as well as being a minister in the president's office.  Myanmar's constitution was drafted by the outgoing military rulers, and prevents Aung San Suu Kyi from becoming president because her two sons have British passports.  She was expected to exert influence over the president's office through the appointment of an old loyalist President-elect Htin Kyaw, but the latest moves show that Suu Kyi intends to take more control.
