The Financial Times is reporting that Belgian stocks are holding up "relatively well" this morning despite Brussels entering its third day of lockdown after the Belgium's prime minister warned for a "serious and imminent" threat of Paris-style attacks.
The BBC's Katya Adler has tweeted that Belgium's Interior Minister says that as the antiterror operations are continuing in the country it is "hard to say" what action the government will take tomorrow or the day after.
Belgians have responded to a request from police to refrain from tweeting about the antiterror raids ongoing in the country by tweeting humorous pictures of cats instead, using the hashtag #BrusselsLockdown
The request for a social media blackout was presumably to make it harder for suspects to obtain real-time information about where the police operations were happening.
Twitter users from around the world are also posting cat pictures in solidarity with the people (and cats) of Brussels.
The Wall Street Journal is reporting on another impact of the November 13 Paris attacks -- French economic growth slowed following the attacks and the subsequent tightening of security, according to surveys.
AFP have tweeted these images of Belgian troops patrolling in Brussels today.
British Prime Minister David Cameron has issued a press statement following his meeting this morning with French President Hollande.
Cameron said that he and Hollande discussed ways to strengthen counter-terrorism cooperation between London and Paris and work together to defeat IS.
Cameron also slammed the lack of information and intelligence sharing among EU countries, saying that it was "frankly ridiculous we can get more information from countries outside the EU than we can from each other."
A "pan-European effort" was needed to "tackle the threat of returning foreign fighters," he added.
Cameron also said that he supports striking IS in Syria but added "that will be a decision for Parliament to make.
In the meantime, the UK has offered France the use of RAF Akrotiri, a Royal Air Force station on Cyprus, for French aircraft engaged in anti-IS operations as well as additional assistance with air-to-air refuelling.
Cameron said that he and Hollande had also discussed "ongoing efforts to secure a political solution in Syria."
The BBC's Charlotte Gallagher says that there were barely any cars or people on the streets in central Brussels this morning, amid a security lockdown.
Christmas music is playing in one of the few shops open in the city center -- but there are hardly any shoppers.
Belgium's Sudpresse is reporting that police chased a suspect BMW 5 series car last night at around 19:30 local time in Rocourt, a suburb of the Belgian town of Liege.
The car was later found at around midnight abandoned in a street in Rocourt, and police then building in front of where the vehicle had been parked. The driver of the car is apparently still on the run.
But there are no indications that the driver was Salah Abdeslam, the subject of a major international manhunt in connection with the November 13 Paris terror attacks, and there was no indication that Abdelslam was in the raided building, Sudpresse says.
As French President Hollande continues his push to create an international anti-IS coalition, French war planes could begin fresh strikes on IS positions today from an aircraft carrier that has been sent to the eastern Mediterranean to boost French strikes against the militant group.
France's Defense Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian has said the Charles de Gaulle aircraft carrier will be ready for anti-IS air strikes from today.
French police are appealing for assistance from the public to identify the third attacker who blew himself up outside the Stade de France on November 13.
The Police Nationale issued the first picture of the man in a tweet but few other details about him have been released. The police did not name the man.
The BBC say that the picture matches that on arrivals papers for a man who entered the island of Leros in Greece on October 3, saying he was a Syrian refugee. He reportedly bought ferry tickets to leave Leros to continue on through Europe.
The man was traveling under the name of M. al-Mahmod, the BBC say.
Two other attackers blew themselves up outside the Stade de France. One has been identified as Bilal Hadfi, a Belgian national, and another was a man carrying a Syrian passport with the name "Ahmed Almohamed."
