The Belgian authorities have reduced the threat level in Brussels from its highest level of four to three.

The city was locked down for nearly a week, with schools, universities, and the metro system closed and soldiers deployed on the streets.

The escalation to level four came after suspects in the Islamic State attacks in Paris were linked to the city.

The reduction to level three brings Brussels into line with the rest of the country.

At least one suspected Paris gunman - Salah Abdeslam - remains at large.
