11:33 pm
alone as the search continues for accomplices after a day of raids around the city. a sixth person, a woman, was arrested earlier this evening in a block of flats north of the city in connection with the incident. and in the last half—hour, greater manchester police say there's been a seventh arrest, this time in nuneaton. details are emerging about the bomb, salman abedi, his brother has been arrested in libya accused of links with so—called islamic state —— bomber. ‘14 “i“ lbe victims ,,, w's ‘ilrfgé‘ lbe: victims have = ‘ilrfgé‘ lbe: victims have been sofar ia of the victims have been named but police say they know the identities of everyone who was killed. hello and welcome to our look ahead at what the papers will be bringing us at what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are the political commentator lance price and allison little, the deputy political editor of the daily
11:34 pm
express. welcome to you both. the front pages tomorrow, starting with the financial times, which leads with police looking for a terror network and possible links to libya and syria following the manchester attack. the metro shows an image of troops taking to the streets following theresa may's warning of an imminent terror attack on british soil. the guardian has one of the pictures supposedly from the forensics investigation and published by the new york times. it purports to show the bomb used in the attack. the daily telegraph reports on the manchester attack are being flagged up to authorities multiple times over his extremist views —— attacker. the daily express reports on the deployment of troops across the country. the sun talks about the police‘s desperate race to hunt down a terror network linked to the attack. the times reports that authorities were warned of salman abedi's extremism views by a
11:35 pm
relative. and the daily mirror shows the picture of the attacks brother, arrested in libya earlier today. so let's begin. we were remarking earlier that the image on the front page is that of troops on uk streets. what does that make you feel when you see that, lance? streets. what does that make you feel when you see that, lance7m makes you appreciate the seriousness of the situation we face, not that we needed reminding of that, but i'm sure the security of services, the government, will be pleased to see this photograph on a lot of the front pages, it's partly there for reassurance to let the public know everything is being done to keep the streets as safe as they can be. some people may feel there's a bit of window dressing about it, that it really is there more for reassurance and the practical benefits that this can have but it takes the pressure off the police service themselves.
11:36 pm
it will allow them to concentrate on the serious work to be done, which is of course ensuring that if there is of course ensuring that if there isa is of course ensuring that if there is a sell out there and there's the threat of further attacks, that that is being dealt with as effectively as possible under the circumstances. what is your reaction, allison? in the papers we have seen so far, this photo is on all but one of the front pages. it is something that thank heavens from my point of view we are used to seeing on british streets, we are used to seeing it in europe all we see our forces in other countries. there's been a break from electioneering this week, that is due to break out again after the pause to honour the victims of the bombing. the police federation tonight has been pointing out that the army are having to be brought in because of cuts to the police. that
11:37 pm
political dimension is working up again and i'm sure the labour party will want to make something of it but they have to tiptoe around the sensitivities and while the investigation is still going on. we inssatigatign is atifij'ggifig'gfi ' "" ' " talk starting up starting l go to the later on. but now let's go to the front page of the times, which has the same image pretty much of the day lee telegraph, troops right in front of westminster, but the headline is: this is all about the various warnings that supposedly happened about candy. there do seem to be a lot of them —— country. it's not surprisingly the how many people come across the radar of the security services that it is physically impossible. we remember how difficult a job they have to try to track them all but clearly they have to pirate eyes and i think a lot of people will be looking at the
11:38 pm
number of warnings there were, some of the papers were saying there were five separate warnings going back as far as five years ago when this guy was obviously still a teenager. whether or not because of the number of warnings there were and the people were doing what they had been asked to do under the prevent controversial scheme, which is to let the security services know if they think there's someone in their community that could be a threat, people did that and yet look what happened. yes. i'm wondering whether we are following a familiar pattern after these tragic events, we get over the shock of the event and we identify the victims and there's deep sorrow about that, and very quickly we get onto whose fault was it apart from the man who planted the bomb, the man who built the bomb, if you know what i mean. we are bomb, if you know what i mean. we a re two bomb, if you know what i mean. we are two days after this dreadful event and we are already saying british authorities made a g
11:39 pm
british authorities made a mistake. headlines like this... it is a very british thing to do, it was our fault. it is up to them to protect us? we do rely on them and if there we re us? we do rely on them and if there were glaring errors, lance is right, they have so much information and there's only so much they can do. they can't have known he was going to do this. the time will come when these questions need to be asked. yes, agreed. whether mi5 should be watching their own backs at this moment when they have a really importantjob moment when they have a really important job to do moment when they have a really importantjob to do to keep us all safe... we should remember, he may have been working with others, but there was one person responsible for this and that was salman abedi. yes, that's what i'm saying. the one person responsible for this bombing, yes, but the suggestion is there's a network with these various arrests going on. let's look at the front page of the independent. we spoke earlier to the defence editor of the
11:40 pm
independent, kim seung—gyu actor, who has written their front—page story, which is the authorities found explosives in other places where they have done these raids. —— kim sengupta. this appears to be a genuine scoop, assuming kim sengupta has his facts right, and i guess they wouldn't be reading this on the front page if they weren't confident. they are talking about a device blown up in a controlled explosion —— putting this. it is more than explosives that could have been used to put a device together, it was a device. they will be scrabbling around in other newsrooms to follow up on this. this helps to explain why they raised the security threat level last night and this is a very fast moving and wide ranging and scary situation. especially if there are lots of devices around the
11:41 pm
place. the guardian and the independent are the newspapers that have put pictures on the front page of what we understand and believe to be part of the actual device itself that caused such havoc because of the leak in the us. we will go back to that in a moment but first the front page of the daily mail, it underlines the international dimension of this story, doesn't it? jeremy hunt himself from libya and his brother and father both arrested in tripoli -- his brother and father both arrested in tripoli —— salman abedi. very stark headline, the g hardy family. is that their? a classic daily mail front page. ——. they also have the picture of the younger brother in libby on the daily mirror —— jihadi. past experience shows not everything
11:42 pm
that you know two days afterwards about a family will turn out to be true. for example, it said here that the father and one of the brothers are is supporters. i think i heard another commentator saying today the father was thought to be more pro—al qaeda year because in libya al-qaeda have said about is that they are too brutal —— pro—al qaeda. i don't know if that's the case. i noted that in the times, the mail are saying this isa the times, the mail are saying this is a whole family and a whole network and we are fascinated by evil families, aren't we? the times say... evil families, aren't we? the times hey evil families, aren't we? the times say... they also say it was claimed salman abedi called his family 15 minutes before the attack in tripoli to say goodbye but friends of the family said his father had been so worried about radicalisation in manchester that he demanded he moved to libya. people willjump to conclusions very quickly about all of this and that's a dangerous thing
11:43 pm
to do immediately after an incident like this. it's not to say journalists shouldn't ask these questions and go after the facts such as they are. but i do think it is important we remember the security forces themselves aren't in a position, and nor should they be wasting their time answering these questions, so we only get one side of it. it looks like there has been a failure on their part to follow up on leads, to respond to warnings and presumably even on an international level, because if this family was based where they were then they wouldn't just be keeping based where they were then they wouldn'tjust be keeping an eye on them as british intelligence, there would be others. clearly big questions. it worries me that this is hampering the work of the security services. or they are going to let journalists run around and chat about this stuff while they get on with the work of tracking down these people. there's the inevitability that you start with the people close to the person
11:44 pm
suspected. no surprise that members of his family have been arrested. the first thing you do is look at families because they are the people who would and know the perpetrator must closely. let's go to the front page of the guardian, this is same photograph that you have alluded to on the front page of the independent. supposedly a photograph of one part is believed to have been used on monday that had been leaked to the us media and this is one an extraordinary image and also it is causing a row. it is unprecedented that a live investigation live in
11:45 pm
this country should then be revealed by the intelligence agency in one of oui’ by the intelligence agency in one of our partners, perhaps our closest partner in the united states. on the radio, amber rudd saying she was very irritated and that is a british euphemism to say they are livid about this. the prime minister is going to confront the president when they meet later on tomorrow at a nato meeting and say this is absolutely not acceptable at every level. the president himself has suffered from leaks that have perhaps come from... you never know how donald trump will respond but he has his views about leaks from security services in his country but
11:46 pm
this is a very, very serious situation and you would think people on both sides of the atlantic would be concerned about. in the last half an hour, a counter police saying trust has been breached between the two intelligence communities and thatis two intelligence communities and that is extraordinary.” two intelligence communities and that is extraordinary. i suppose as well as the breach of trust, the fa ct well as the breach of trust, the fact that such images that should appearfrom a fact that such images that should appear from a live fact that such images that should appearfrom a live investigation, there is also the human factor of that, you can see these bloodstained weapons. . . that, you can see these bloodstained weapons... it is absolutely ghastly, distressing and very real stop we know there was a blood but it is a shock to see it and quite heartless to put that picture... there is a bit of a question of the guardian
11:47 pm
putting it on the front page only because in their story, in the second column, a senior us sources are second column, a senior us sources a re clearly second column, a senior us sources are clearly distressing to the victims's family and still they put it there. the human story, the story is of the vic demps. a touching story of a gay man killed. —— victims. he was he appeared on television and radio, outspoken and lived life to the full and very touching to see that story. lived life to the full and very touching to see that storylj touching to see that story.” expected to see more images of victims on the front of the pages. yesterday we had the heart wrenching pictures of students. more adults
11:48 pm
have been named the day and it is striking how many were parents, mothers, in some cases the couples, and children who have become orphans. whole lives destroyed. in the back page of the times, appointed bleak positive story, we won it bought manchester. —— for manchester. i think they had one of the players earlier saying we won it for the victims. pride of manchester in another paper. slightly tearful faces. for sure. let's
11:49 pm
in another paper. slightly tearful faces. forsure. let's have in another paper. slightly tearful faces. for sure. let's have a think about the timing of all of this. we have had political campaigning suspended and it will start up in a gentle way tomorrow with the ukip ma nifesto. gentle way tomorrow with the ukip manifesto. and then again on friday. will it have a different tone?” think it will. for one thing, when it starts theresa may is going to be abroad, in brussels and then to cicely for the g7 summit. —— sicily. the tories are sensible, they will not seek to politicise this. they
11:50 pm
will not need to. they will have the pictures of theresa may and subliminally the question will be asked, can you imaginejeremy corbyn responding in this way. inevitably, there is already creeping into the discussion whether or not the cuts to police numbers, which is undoubtedly a fact which has happened under the conservatives, is one reason why happened under the conservatives, is one reason why we happened under the conservatives, is one reason why we have to sit in the army on the street. i wonder if jeremy corbyn will return to the then he came up with a couple of weeks ago whether he might reach the rate that the ball on terror has not worked and has not made us safer. —— the wall on terror. is this going to bea the wall on terror. is this going to be a very different last two weeks? i suspect the first couple of fewdays we will have a different
11:51 pm
feel to it. pretty soon after that, rightly or rob lee, we will get back to the campaign were having earlier. —— wrongly. before this appalling incident happened, the tories were on the back foot with plans for the elderly and other aspects of the ma nifesto. elderly and other aspects of the manifesto. it will be a hard fought last two weeks of the campaign. thank you both very much. don't forget you can see the front pages online on the bbc website. it is all there for you. if you miss the programme you can watch it later on the bbc iplayer. thank you very much. next, all the days sport. from
