bond. he received a knighthood for his humanitarian work with unicef. good afternoon from manchester, which has experienced the uk's worst terrorist attack since the july 7th attacks in london in 2005. we are outside the manchester arena, where thousands of young concertgoers were last night when a man detonated a suicide bomb shortly after 10:30pm, yesterday evening. let's ta ke

after 10:30pm, yesterday evening. let's take a look at exactly what we know, piecing together what the police have told us. the police say they were called at 10:33pm to manchester arena. the prime minister has called this an attack of appalling and sickening cowardice. the arena was full because people we re the arena was full because people were streaming out of the doors at the end of the concert by the american singer and —— ariana grande. surrounding streets had been sealed off and nearby victoria railway station has been close. richard galpin reports and i must warn you that the report contains some distressing images. we will bring that to you in a moment, actually, but let me just tell you that theresa may, we gather, is about to speak because she has come

to manchester to meet the chief co nsta ble, to manchester to meet the chief constable, and other senior commanders and air of greater manchester, andy burnham, and other civic leaders as manchester tries to come to terms with this appalling tragedy in which 22 people have lost their lives. we know that to them we re their lives. we know that to them were aged just eight years old and 18 years old, and that many of those at that concert last night we young people, some of them at primary school. some at secondary school. others were students. the prime minister is here after chairing a meeting of cobra, the government emergency committee in london, first thing this morning, where she conferred with mi5 and senior police leaders in london with the intelligence picture surrounding this attack and there will be another meeting later on. i think we can now hear from another meeting later on. i think we can now hearfrom her, theresa may,

after the suspension of election campaigning. she is in manchester after meeting the chief constable. this is a terrible day, prime minister. are you confident everything is being done to make sure that no one other than the bomber himself —— anyone, with the exception of the bomber himself that was involved in this will be caught? this was an attack on young people and children, it is callous and our thoughts and prayers must be with the families of all those affected by this terrible attack. i have been here today with the greater manchester police, talking to them about the investigation that is continuing. security services are working on whether there was a wider group of people involved in this particular incident. we have had the name of the young person that died,

the youngest, an eight—year—old girl from lancashire. it's horrendous? it's an absolutely barbaric attacks to cut off young lives in this way and it is absolutely devastating, oui’ and it is absolutely devastating, our thoughts and prayers must be with theirfamilies our thoughts and prayers must be with their families and friends regarding this horrendous tragedy that has taken place. the police and security services must have the resources they need to continue this investigation and i would like to thank the police and those involved in the emergency services for the amazing way they responded to this terrible incident. i have been hearing of police officers, off duty, turning up to make sure they could contribute and help. so many people have helped. it's the spirit of manchester, of britain and one thing i am sure of is that terrorists will not prevail. there

are other concerts and music festivals who will start to worry about children and young people, will they be safe this summer? what can you do to ensure this? the police and others will be looking at the security of venues to make sure that people can continue to enjoy some events, feeling secure. what is clear is that we are ensuring the resources a re clear is that we are ensuring the resources are available for the police in order to do the job they need to do. this was a horrendous attack, absolutely horrific. barbaric in its nature, but what i wa nt to barbaric in its nature, but what i want to be clear about is that we will not let terrorists win. our values will prevail. that is the prime minister, here in manchester this afternoon, saying that terrorism will not prevail, you just heard her say. our values will prevail, is what she said. let us

tell you what we know. richard galpin's report may have distressing images. oh, my god. what's going on? something has happened. what had been a night of joy and elation for thousands of teenagers... oh, my god. ..turned to absolute panic. everyone's heard what they think is a bomb going off. and the only thing now is to get out of this arena, as fast as possible. it was shocking. just heard this massive bang. then everyone started running towards us, screaming and crying. everyone just trampling over us to get out. i saw parents with kids running out with blood all over them. i picked this lady up who said she was looking for her grandkids, who couldn't find her grandkids, she picked up a young girl on the floor who was covered in blood with parents laying

next to them. it is just all bizarre. there's glass and nuts, metal nuts, that have been in the device that have exploded. i can't think of anything else that's got nuts that would be flying around. which way? come on. traumatised and uncertain what to do, many of the youngsters just keep running. some searching for their parents, who'd been waiting to pick them up at the end of the concert. others looking for relatives and friends who've gone missing and today some families are still trying to find their children having heard nothing from them since last night's concert. children are amongst the many casualties. all the major hospitals in manchester being used last night to receive the injured and the dead. and this morning, the police confirmed it was a terrorist attack

carried out by a suicide bomber. this has been the most horrific incident we have ever faced here in greater manchester and one that we all hoped we would never see. families and many young people were out to enjoy a concert at the manchester arena and have very sadly lost their lives and we believe at this stage the attack last night was conducted by one man. the priority is to establish whether he was acting alone or as part of a network. the attacker, i can confirm, died at the arena. we believe the attacker was carrying an improvised explosive device which he detonated, causing this atrocity. in downing street, flags are flying at half—mast in the aftermath of the worst terrorist attack in britain since the suicide bombings on london transport 12 years ago. all acts of terrorism are cowardly attacks on innocent people, but this attack stands out

for its appalling, sickening cowardice, deliberately targeting innocent, defenceless children and young people who should have been enjoying one of the most memorable nights of their lives. let us remember those who died and let us celebrate those who helped, safe in the knowledge that the terrorists will never win and our values, our country and our way of life will always prevail. the horror of what happened at the arena last night led to many ordinary people offering to help. taxi drivers providing free lifts for those who could not get back home. others offering rooms for anyone needing somewhere to sleep. as for who was responsible for this attack, the police believe they do know the person's identity and already a 23—year—old man has been arrested in connection with the bombing.

also this morning, the first victim has been named. she is 18—year—old georgina callander, on the left, posing with the singer ariana grande who was performing at last night's concert. and saffie roussos, who wasjust eight years old. the children at the concert would never have imagined they would end up like this, having to escape a terrorist attack, but it is clear they were deliberately targeted and that has provoked shock and revulsion in this country and around the world. richard galpin, bbc news. terrifying accounts of what went on last night. people separated from their loved ones, not knowing where they were. people talking about the

explosion, saying nuts and bolts flying through the air, and seeing casualties as well. danny savage has a report and you may find some parts distressing. this is my daughter, olivia. i have not seen her since 5.00 last night. she was at the ariana grande concert with her friend. i'm worried sick. if anybody has seen her, contact the police, contact somebody, let her know that you've seen her. even if you think you have seen her, just let the police know, please. an appealfrom a desperate mum. charlotte campbell hasn't heard from her daughter, olivia, who was at the concert last night. her family has been out searching for the teenager for hours. i need my daughter home. i need to know where she is. on the wards of numerous hospitals across manchester, the casualties have been treated and the bereaved are being comforted. we saw families crying and shaking. we weren't sure what happened. we thought it was a balloon

that had popped. or possibly a wire or something. because we were so close because we were so close to the front, we didn't think it was an explosion. the minute we heard the bells, we ran up to our hotel. outside city centre hotels, survivors recounted the horror of what happened inside the arena. towards the last song, she let a load of helium balloons down, quite large. a bang happened. we thought — i mean, we looked at each other and we were like, no, no, it can't be something that you see on the news, that doesn't happen to people like us. it's the balloons. everyone calmed around us and all of a sudden, everyone started screaming and running in every direction. there was one girl there, she tumbled over the seats. she went over about three seats. it was awful. she went with such a force. on social media, numerous appeals soon appeared

for concert—goers to contact home. deborah hutchinson from newcastle wrote, "my daughter, courtney boyle, and partner philip have gone missing in an attack in manchester. please share and help find them, i need them home safe." people who were there tried to offer help online, too. sharing pictures of missing people. people who need help, who have nowhere to sleep, no food and water. trying to get awareness out for people willing to help. a picture of chaos and panic emerged. i heard an explosion, i was like, we need to run, so we started running all the way down to the doors to the exit. down to the hotel. all i heard was people screaming and crying and running everywhere. it was complete madness. it is hard to imagine a softer target for this attack. so many of the teenagers and children who were there last night were given tickets as a christmas or birthday present. thousands of teenagers and young people have gone to school this morning knowing of a friend or a friend of a friend

who was at the concert last night and now numerous families are having to arrange the funeral of a son or daughter, who went out yesterday evening, so excited ahead of that concert. danny savage, bbc news. we are hearing from scotland yard that there is a plan to put more armed police officers on at wembley for this cup final with chelsea at the weekend. lets talk to dominic grieve who is the chair of the commons intelligence committee. he joins us on the line. what are your thoughts about this horrendous attack here in manchester? it's an act of appalling evil and i have no

doubt that the police and security services will do everything they can to try and understand how it came about and whether there are any accomplices that need to be brought to justice, accomplices that need to be brought tojustice, or stopped. the reality is that our security services are very good at stopping plots. we have seen very good at stopping plots. we have seen this happen consistently over the last few years, but i have been conscious that the risks have been great and 100% security is impossible to give, even if we were to abandon our freedoms and live in a security— dominated society, we would still not be able to stop this andi would still not be able to stop this and i am afraid we need to maintain oui’ and i am afraid we need to maintain our values and show that terrorism cannot succeed, and three days values, we will bring this to an end. this was manchester arena, the

softest of soft targets. young people, children are primary school among the audience and now the victims of this attack. the target was specifically chosen, i suspect, to bea was specifically chosen, i suspect, to be a particularly horrible act because this is what these terrorists appear to specialise in. it's what they want to do. i couldn't possibly comment on the security at the arena. it is far too early to say. you can provide security within an area, but in its immediate passivity, that may be more difficult. there are always lessons we can learn and these incidents, and the security services and the police do just that. but it's equally right to say that you can't provide that everything. if

there are individuals within society who wish to perpetrate murderous a cts who wish to perpetrate murderous acts and you don't have intelligence on beforehand it is very difficult to stop them from doing it. the key question the police is whether this suicide bomber was acting alone or with others, as part of the conspiracy? that's what i would expect them to do. we do not know because the identity of the individual hasn't been announced although police believe they know who the years. they will follow up the necessary leads to see if there is anything they knew about him, whether he was on the edges of some sort of extremist ideology, and seeing what they can do to follow that up and we will leave them to the task of doing that. scotland ya rd the task of doing that. scotland yard are putting more armed police on patrol at the cup final. is that

what has to happen now? events need beef— up —— to beef — up security? the police must decide as an operational matter what the best thing is that them to do and to what extent thing is that them to do and to what exte nt m o re thing is that them to do and to what extent more security is needed. they wa nt to extent more security is needed. they want to target that as much as possible, to places where there might be threat or risk. seeing police on the streets needs to not be diminutive or the other tasks that they need to do. it is worth bearing in mind that over the last few years, there have been a large number of plots that have been stopped, the individuals prosecuted and imprisoned for trying to carry

out forms a terrorist outrage. that has been a great success story where the united kingdom has been in the lead. the work that is being done by the security services, mi5, other agencies and the police, they had been exemplary but unfortunately that does not abide us with 100% protection. dominick, thank you very much for being with us. he is chair of the commons security and intelligence committee. let's go to the royal infirmary in manchester, one of eight hospitals treating the 59 people injured in last night's attack. what is happening there? here at the manchester royal infirmary, one of the major trauma centres for the region, there are nine people being treated. you also have salford royal, the royal

manchester children's hospital. royal bolton, north manchester hospital, many involved looking after those 59 patients injured as a result of last night's atrocity. a little earlier, we heard from people in charge of the health services here, in greater manchester, the health and social care partnership, and he was speaking of if ever you wa nted and he was speaking of if ever you wanted to see one nhs then last night and this morning, this was a true example of it. the worst of times, but bringing out the best in the people of manchester who rallied to help. whether that is members of the public offering to donate blood, ambulance staff volunteering to come in and help, the ambulance service

in particular, 300 people involved in the north—west ambulance service, some on the rotor but many volunteers, coming in even though they were not due to be on shift. huge response from the medical teams here. let's talk to hugh pym our political editor. what are you hearing about the medical response? we learned from the comments made by the greater manchester health care chief that the response was as good as it could've been. the plan envisaged a scenario like this and that enabled them to direct paramedics and ambulances very quickly and taken to the eight hospitals, including a major trauma centres. manchester royal and

salford royal. it had gone off in a way that they were proud of. we talk of one nhs, this squad operation between the ambulance staff on the front line and then each hospital having its own major incident plan, bringing in clinicians overnight, doctors, nurses, coming in to ensure that the right staff are in the right places. some of the 59, some of them are intensive care and will be in hospital for quite awhile, some severely injured. tell us more about the level of preparedness hospitals have four major incidents? hearing about the incident at 1046, several hospitals declared a major incident so that trauma network but

in their major response and the ambulance services came in from the we st ambulance services came in from the west midlands, yorkshire and the east midlands. 60 paramedic vehicles we re east midlands. 60 paramedic vehicles were involved which was a very quick regional response, and then each hospital has its own plan which has got off pretty effectively and we have heard about staff coming in off— shift. we've heard about the public queueing up at blood donor centres, including the one over the road here to the point where the services have said they have not enough blood. it's been an extraordinary response. —— that they have enough blood. the services are extremely thankful to those who have donated blood last night, over night and this morning

but they now have enough to meet their needs. they would ask people with on negative blood to continue to donate. —— o negative. let's go to donate. —— o negative. let's go to vicki young in downing street. the prime minister in manchester having chaired that meeting. the government emergency committee. she says there's going to be another cobra meeting later as well. dealing with the practicalities of this, we note that as soon as news broke, she was kept informed throughout the night about what was going on and then this morning, chairing the meeting gave a chance for government officials and cabinet ministers, senior police officers and people from the security services to meet, and the mayor of manchester also

joining by a video link. it allowed them to get in the room to talk about what was going on, how the emergency services are responding, the level of threat, all these things brought together and shared by the prime minister. of course, in that role as prime minister, it's not just the that role as prime minister, it's notjust the practicalities. she came out here and really tried to encapsulate how the nation is feeling. the horror that people are feeling. the horror that people are feeling. talking about how all terrorist attacks are of course cowardly, but she says this was of particular concern because it seemed to specifically target a venue where they knew there would be young people, children. as we have heard, that one of those who died was of primary school age. she is saying to

people not to dwell on the scenes of carnage but try to look at the hope, the positive side, take away from it that there were people who didn't run away. they ran towards danger to try and help people. at a time when people are despairing, because she isn't the first british prime ministers to stand here and talk about how to respond to this terrorist attack, she is saying to people to have hope as well. thank you. we now go to king's college, london. we speak to the profession of national security studies. what are your thoughts, and what in particular whether the intelligence agencies and police tried to do to work out whether this was a lone wolf with a suicide bomb or part of a wider conspiracy? it is unlikely

that this individual is entirely self—supporting. the production and delivery of a suicide bomb is a complicated thing and this suggests there is something at the more sophisticated end. the intelligence services will look at it this is to be part of a wave of suicide bombings, but fundamentally the challenge at the moment is for the prime minister and the closest team around her to strike that balance between appropriately shocked and communicating how the public feels versus the needs to emphasise how normal life can continue and that is a difficult message to pass on today. the intelligence services, we

know, for the last few years, have quite often foiled several plots a year. we have now had the westminster attacks and now this, the most deadly attack on british soil since thejuly the most deadly attack on british soil since the july seven attacks the most deadly attack on british soil since thejuly seven attacks in 2005 and it is so difficult to stop all the plots, all of the time. the success of the police is something the country should be proud of it. it is unprecedented how many plots have been disrupted or just haven't occurred because it is so just haven't occurred because it is so difficult to operate in the uk, but that doesn't mean that we can achieve total security. i do think it is very worrying that we have had our second major suicide attack. it is debatable whether certain other attacks were suicide in nature such as the attack on westminster. this was a suicide attack and it must be

of great concern. that said, most terrorist plots are disrupted by intelligence, not by physical security and we're constantly achieving success in the fight against terrorists. it is important to remember that contrary to this view i hear said which is the terrorists only have to be lucky once. that's not correct. they have to be lucky every day not to be caught by a sophisticated security apparatus that we have in this country. professor, thank you very much indeed. we can now speak to steve rotheram — the newly elected metro mayor of the liverpool city region. his daughters were at the concert but are safe. yes, both my girls aged 19 and 20 #2 1 got it as a chris has present as so 1 got it as a chris has present as so many people did and went to manchester last night to watch a concert and were very excited about it. tell us what was their

experience when they were there. they got out, but did they see or hear the explosion? yes, they were already making their way towards the exit when a large bang, an explosion took place to their left and that caused panic and pandemonium in the arena with people climbing over chairs to see if they could get quickly to the exits and people were jostling of course as you'd expect, but it was quite frightening for them. when they got to the concourse area they saw people with blood dripping from wounds. the whole thing was a really frightening experience for them, but they were lucky because they came home last night or in the early hours of this morning anyway. and like any father ofa morning anyway. and like any father of a child who was there and survived, you must just of a child who was there and survived, you mustjust feel so much relief today? unbelievable. the phone call i got from my wife to say

don't panic, but was some of the longest seconds of my life and the but was, the girls are safe, but there has been a major incident in manchester. all we were praying for, if you like, is to get the girls home safely and that took several hours and they were very, very long hours, but we're so lucky and so fortu nate, hours, but we're so lucky and so fortunate, some parents last night didn't get their children back and will never get them back. we're going to show pictures actually of the prime minister arriving now at the manchester royal infirmary where some of the injured being treated today. eight hospitals altogether in and around manchester where the casualties, the 59 injured are being treated and theresa may has been meeting the chief constable of greater manchester and other

police commanders now at the hospital. one of the hospitals where the injured are being treated. steve rotherham can i ask you one more question — what are your thoughts about a terrorist attack not only on about a terrorist attack not only on a soft target like this, but a soft target where the attacker must have known that in the audience were very young children as we have seen some of them just primary school age? just as a human being, never mind as a father, it's just difficult to get your mind around what went through somebody‘s psyche, somebody‘s mentality to notjust somebody‘s psyche, somebody‘s mentality to not just target people to kill, to murder, to slay, but specifically to young people and at a time when they knew that those people were leaving and they there would have been a large gathering of young people. just on a human level i can't understand it, you'd need to

speak to psychiatrists and criminal gists all i've got is anger and disdain and hatred for people who perpetrate such crimes. of course, traditionally, there is a lot of rivalry between manchester and liverpool, certainly in footballing terms, but what is their sense of solidarity today between these two great cities of the north—west? well, huge solidarity. both myself and andy burnham have made public state m e nts and andy burnham have made public statements just a couple of weeks ago about bringing our two great cities together and of course, there is rivalry, that's existed for a long, long time, when you get beneath of the veneer of rivalry, there is a lot that we have that is similar in both city regions and today, i know it has been said, but we're all mancunians, aren't we? and our hearts and prayers go out to the people of manchester and of course,

we'll stand shoulder—to—shoulder with them and we will offer them any support that we can possibly provide to that great city. steve rotherham, metro mayor of liverpool, thank you very much indeed for being with us. let me ask you one more question, do you think that there needs to be enhanced, beefed—up security, at venues like this at the manchester arena where there are concerts, there will be lots of young people going to all sorts of concerts and festivals this summer, football matches, like the fa cup final, we're hearing scotland yard are putting more armed police there, but does there need to be a re—think on security or you know is that in a sense respond to go what the terrorists have done? of course, we all need to be vigilant and ever aware of circumstances around us. what we can do is very limited in all honesty. if you look at what happened in

westminster, that was a person with murderous intent in a car. yesterday, it was somebody who blew themselves up so you can't plan for every eventuality. we've had our local cobra meeting, gold command meeting today to ensure that we have all the resilience possible, but at the end of the day, no one can guarantee 100% security for every single person. it's all our responsibility and i just single person. it's all our responsibility and ijust hope that the message is loud and clear that people need to be very aware of their circumstances following this absolutely devastating tragedy last night. well, steve rotherham, thank you so much for being with us and so pleased that your children are safe. thank you very much for being with us. thank you very much for being with us. thank you. some news just us. thank you. some newsjust coming in us. thank you. some news just coming in to us and we are hearing that at 4pm, this afternoon, at buckingham palace, there will be a one minute's silence observed at the queen's garden

party. that's for victims of the attack here at manchester arena. so attack here at manchester arena. so a one minute's silence at buckingham palace at 4 o'clock british time and in attendance will be the queen and the duke of edinburgh, the prince of wales and the duchess of cornwall, the duke of york and princess eugenie of york as well. a one minute silence for the victims in manchester and the royal family will come out of buckingham palace and pause at the top of the stes to the garden. well, that's the very latest from manchester in the wake of this attack here that has left 22 people dead and 59 injured. some of them with life threatening injuries. simon, back to you. ben, thank you very much. the formerjames bond actor roger moore has died at the age of 89. nick higham takes a look back at his life. mr bond... james bond.

he was an unlikely bond. he hardly looked like a ruthless operator licensed to kill — but with a touch of self—parody, bond films were always most fun when roger moore was playing the lead. a feast for the eyes! he started out impossibly handsome, as a male model and bit part actor. his first brush with fame came when he married dorothy squires, a singing huge star on both sides of the atlantic. a huge singing star on both sides of the atlantic. his first big break came in the television series ivanhoe. ivanhoe made him a pin—up, a heart—throb. but, as an actor, he seemed a little wooden. that was until the saint. it was in the saint that he first developed the classic

roger moore screen character. smart, sexy, half humorous. he went on to star in the persuaders with tony curtis, mixing action and laughs once more. i say daniel, i will buy you one! in blue? we played it tongue—in—cheek. i play most heroes tongue—in—cheek because i really don't see myself as a hero. although i play it as if it is all a joke. his tongue was never more firmly in his cheek than when he played james bond. is there time before we leave? for lesson number three? absolutely... in the end, he gave up acting for charity work as a goodwill ambassador for unicef. it earned him his knighthood, but he could still make headlines, like when his third

marriage broke up. what's bond doing? i think he is attempting re—entry, sir. but this is how we will remember roger moore. suave, sophisticated, and not remotely serious. david sillito explained why so many people regard him as their favourite bond. you have got to remember when he took the role on, we all think of it as he took the role on, we all think of itasa he took the role on, we all think of it as a thing that goes on and on forever and is reinvented. many people were thinking what would come after connery? people thought well, what could he do with it? he brought something to the role, a bit of wit, a bit of charm, swarve, always the perfect english gentleman. you can

pretty much say he was as successful in the box office as connery was and considerably more so, the number of people who went to see those seven movies, he was 58 when he realised i'm too old for this carry on, but he always thought it was ridiculous and that's the joy of it, isn't it in you watch him and you see that you can follow the plots, and you can enjoy the action, but throughout it all is the little knowing wink when you're watching, there is the pleasure there and it's what he brought to the saint, if you watched television over the last 50 years, you have probably watched an awful lot of roger moore, haven't you? even after he'd given up on the james bond film, he appeared in other films, james bond film, he appeared in otherfilms, some james bond film, he appeared in other films, some successful, james bond film, he appeared in otherfilms, some successful, some not, but it was his role in unicef too, he was in the public eye right up too, he was in the public eye right up until the end? too, he was in the public eye right up untilthe end? very much so. he, i think, rather enjoyed the unicef role more than he did the guns and

action of pretending to be the great action of pretending to be the great action hero. i don't think he was a man had had any affection for guns and explosions at all and had more affection for the good that he could do as affection for the good that he could doasa affection for the good that he could do as a goodwill ambassador around the world. well, to meet him was to know he had so much charm. he was a pleasure to chat to. and he sort of raid ated the goodwill on screen as well as a unicef ambassador and as an actor. a self deprecating man. he usually had a joke and it was usually had a joke and it was usually at his own expense? yes. he got a seven year contract from mgm and he said that he had a three letter designation at the end of mbg which he said was no bloody good! his films weren't particularly successful and he always knew what he was good at, and what he was good

at was projecting charm and that character that he developed and it looks as though he comes from privilege, anything but, he grew up in south london, and born in stockwell, his dad was a policeman and one of the stories i loved was that his dad got him his first work on set when a film director was robbed and his dad was dealing with the man and said, "my son's an aspiring actor, do you want to give him a chance?" that was his first little screen appearance. of course, the war disrupted his, when he went to rada, so he had been an actorfor a long, long time even before bond. so, when we look at bond it is towards the end of his acting career and for many people, they will remember the saint and maverick. it's a lot of file and tv history in all of this.

saffie rose roussos and georgina callande. we can cross now to fiona trott. now that the cordon has been moved to the far end of deansgate, we are closer to the manchester arena. you can really see how this pa rt arena. you can really see how this part of the city is still really very much shot shutdown to the public. you really get a sense at this end of town how this huge interchange, this part of manchester is still completely closed off. we're at the far end of deansgate,

people who know this part of city know that there are bars, restau ra nts a nd offices know that there are bars, restaurants and offices here. today you can walk down to deansgate without bumping into anybody and without bumping into anybody and without worrying about crossing the road, people are speaking in hushed tones. at st ann's church a special service was held for people to go and pay their respects. it was held by the bishop of boltonment he told us by the bishop of boltonment he told us that people today here in manchester are angry. he said that they are anxious because while the service was being held, there was police activity at the arndale, a nearby shopping centre, we don't believe that is linked to this on going investigation, but the bishop of bolton said, "we are a tolerant city, a peaceful city and we respect people whoever they maybe. " i want to introduce you to someone who is from manchester cathedral. it is closed today. have you been speaking to people in the community? what are

their thoughts and feelings?” to people in the community? what are their thoughts and feelings? i think people, the people of manchester are very, very upset at this really horrific event, tragic, awful thing to happen to our city. but at the same time, it's showing how wonderful the city is because people are getting together and they are gathering, they're supporting each other and gathering, they're supporting each otherand in ourdiverse gathering, they're supporting each other and in our diverse city where we have people from all over the world living here, all different races, gender, religious affiliation or non and people are just getting together and praying together, supporting each other, and it is showing the world how wonderful the people of manchester is in how we can deal with such a horrible thing. you have a book there with you, is that a book of condolence? yes. what are people saying? we have got a message here from somebody saying, "may the the lord hold you gently in

his loving arms. " we have a message from somebody from liverpool saying, "lam from somebody from liverpool saying, "i am from liverpool and i really feel your "i am from liverpool and i really feelyour pain, "i am from liverpool and i really feel your pain, manchester. "i am from liverpool and i really feelyour pain, manchester. our thoughts and prayers are with the people affected. lots of love to manchester. " people affected. lots of love to manchester." you really get a sense of that coming together? absolutely. notjust the north, but of that coming together? absolutely. not just the north, but from all over the country and indeed from abroad. we have had people from canada, from the us, from australia, trying to contact the cathedral to pass on their messages of condolences, of sympathy, they are praying for us and it is in a way frustrating that we can't go into the building and open its doors to welcome people so that they can light candles and have some time of quiet, but we brought the cathedral into the street. we usually have a morning prayer and a service at 1.10pm and a service in the evening and because we couldn't get in, we had the prayers in the street. and people gathered and they were all

with us and you canjust people gathered and they were all with us and you can just look around you and see that people from all over the place, you know, and whatever religious affiliation or non, they have come to pay their respects and to show solidarity with each other. as we can see the cathedral is within the cordon itself still. absolutely. when do you get a sense of when it may re—open? you get a sense of when it may re-open? we don't know. it could be a couple of days. it could be even more. we're so close. we're a stone's throw from the arena. we are really, really close and last night we had people working on our sound syste m we had people working on our sound system and the police came to evacuate and they were taken aback and in shock. well, for you and people in the community let's hope it can be opened very, very soon. thank you for speaking to us this afternoon. so this part of manchester city centre, 17 hours on in this police investigation and still shut down to the public. fiona, thank you very much. fiona

trott at manchester arena a short way across the city from where we are at the manchester royal infurplry. joining me now is philippa grey, a special educational psychologist who provides bereavement support via winston's wish which is a charity for bereaved children in the uk. thank you very much for talking to us on bbc news. the scale of this attack, the fact that children, as young as eight have died, the manner of this attack, how do you begin to talk through this and to try and explain this to other children? well, i think children will have a lot of information through a range of social media about the event. they will been exposed to information from a range of different sources so

i think the message is to give children clear information, give factual information, about the events that have actually happened as they have unfolded. i think it's really important to make all parents and all teachers will be making sure that children understand that this is an exceptional event and when exceptional events happen we react in ways that don't feel normal because this is an abnormal event that they are experiencing or they're witnessing, albeit witnessing through the media. so, being able to talk to children, being able to talk to children, being able to explain to them that they will be feeling worried, they will be feeling anxious, but it doesn't mean that every day life isn't going to go on. and that they will be with them to help keep them as safe as possible. i know that sounds trite but these are important m essa g es to sounds trite but these are important messages to embed into children's every day lives. would you recommend

at all that where possible perhaps children don't look randomly at social media about this over the next few days? would you advice pa rents to next few days? would you advice parents to perhaps keep their children aafrom social media where they maybe seeing all manner of things about this attack? absolutely. absolutely. where that is possible certainly that is very important particularly for pre—teens who maybe avid ariana grande fans, but are not old enough to filter and process what is and isn't true information for example about the event that's happened. so yes, i think parents being very proactive about managing what the information that their children see, what they're exposed to and that they are there to talk to them and help them

make sense of what is and isn't true and what is and isn't realistic about what might or might not happen next. for parents to stress to children that this is an exceptional event, what advice would you give to pa rents event, what advice would you give to parents and teachers?” event, what advice would you give to parents and teachers? i think it's important to reassure children that this is an exceptional event and they every day children and their families go about enjoying all sorts of activities, safely and without these things happening, but when they do happen, we feel worried, we feel anxious, we may not sleep for a little while, we may want to be much closer to ourfamilies little while, we may want to be much closer to our families and all of those are normal and natural reaction to say an abnormal event. if pa rents reaction to say an abnormal event. if parents are not sure about how to talk to their children or if they feel their children are really anxious, then we would urge that they look at the information and the guidance on the winston's wish

website or please telephone our helpline where there is guidance and support available and that is 08808021020021. philippa, thank you very much four your advice. let's talk to someone who is also trying to communicate about what has happened with, communicate with children, hayley who is a newsround presenter. thank you for chatting with me again. as philippa was saying there, advice for pa rents philippa was saying there, advice for parents and teachers to try to explain to children that this is an xetional event. what sort of advice are you giving to your young viewers? yeah, that's right. we don't shy away from these stories on newsround, we explain the facts, but we come about it from a reassuring way and a very truthful way and we don't show images that are upsetting or can cause fear in our audience.

usually when we cover stories like this, they are far away, but this is perhaps one of the first time our audience would have seen an attack that happened in this country on their doorstep and at a concert that's on their radar, so we do know that's on their radar, so we do know that children are talking about, they are getting social media, they are talking about it in the playground and it's really important that we give them the facts, we're a trusted source that they can come to, but without scaring them. we have graph sized the story so they can look at the events that unfolded without seeing disturbing footages, there is animation and graphics which gives them distance to look at the story and we've interviewed children and we have been to a school and we have spoken to a boy who was there last night and seeing other children who were involved and children that are coping actually gives our audience the ability to cope themselves. hayley, what other communications, what other messages have you had

from children today about what happened here last night? we have had people contacting us and we have been to schools to speak to them as well. we spoke to a boy who was in the audience who although was overwhelmed by the panic and the chaos, was very reassured by all the help that he saw and the people that we re help that he saw and the people that were coming to help others. we spoke to children this morning who are actually considering they're 10 and 11 are strong and said things like, "a bomb won't stop me going to an ariana grande concert again. these people shouldn't get away with stopping our lives." children's comments like that, where they're feeling positive, they're appreciative of the guide on newsround. it stopped them listening to other rumours they were hearing in the playground, but all in all, we're hearing children are positive about the help and the wonderful things that are happening around this story. hayley that's good to

hear. so i'm here at greater manchester infirmary, royal manchester infirmary, royal manchester infirmary, one of eight hospitals around the area treating the 59 wounded from last night's attack. we haven't had confirmation that the children's hospital which isjust nearby to this location maybe having a visit from the prime minister, but for now, you'll hand you back to ben brown. yes, we're in manchester by the manchester arena. we're in manchester arena. we're in manchester by the manchester arena where 22 people died and 59 were injured. now, at buckingham palace, there is going to be a minute's silence held at buckingham palace in attendance the queen and duke of edinburgh. the prince of wales, and the duchess of cornwall. silence
