Belgium Minister quits in Brussels airport security row

Belgium's transport minister, Jacqueline Galant, has resigned over accusations of ignoring lapses in security at Brussels airport before the attacks of March 22. 

Opposition parties are demanding that Jacqueline Galant step down. 

The opposition parties leaked a confidential EU document, dating from 2015, which criticised security measures at Belgium's airports. 

Attacks on Zavantem airport and a Brussels metro station by the Islamic State left 32 people dead.
