9:01 pm
bombing with bbc arabic. theresa may has told donald trump the leaks must stop. this began when us intelligence leaked the manchester bomber‘s name. then pictures of the bomb were leaked to the new york times. that didn't go down well. the police investigating in manchester have stopped passing on information to the americans. this is theresa may earlier. we have a special relationship with the usa. it is our deepest defence and security partnership that we have. of course that partnership is built on trust and part of that trust is knowing that intelligence can be
9:02 pm
shared confidently, and i will be making clear to president trump today that intelligence that is shared between law enforcement agencies must remain secure. donald trump was always likely to be sympathetic. he's been on the receiving end of many leaks. he said today: next, let's clear up just what the uk's decision means — because it doesn't affect all intelligence. i spoke to raffaello pantucci, counter terrorism expert with the royal united services institute. i think this leaves the president make sure that the minister has a proper investigation to see how this
9:03 pm
investigation leaked out, who is responsible and potentially buzzing it was revealed that the obama administration, they did a lot of work in trying to root out leaks that came from departments. i imagine trump will be trying to do from a similar here. in terms of what information is shared between the uk and the us, it is not all being stopped? it is just the information relevant to this investigation? we don't know the exact details yet, of that. one of your colleagues has got the story police appear to be restricting information which one imagines is linked to the specifics of the investigation they are undertaking. i think the broader us, uk intelligence relationship is one that goes deep and it's hard to imagine that it will be suspended. the agencies, listening agencies, gchq, the domestic one such as mi5 and fbi, or the international like cia and mi6 work hand in glove around the world. they stationed
9:04 pm
everywhere. all of will continue on. we will look for an now out in the incident. but it is a blockage that will be specific to the manchester embassy is nonetheless, it is something when it comes into the open. we are seeing it come into the open. we are seeing it come into the open. manchester brazel circulating that they are the intelligence sharing. they rely on each other, the uk and us, to protect each other for. the level of trust is to the point where one side feels they have to suspend some level of sharing, thatis to suspend some level of sharing, that is very negative. police have now made eight arrests. most in manchester itself, but also in wigan and nuneaton. we have no details on why these people have been arrested — but the police gave
9:05 pm
this statement earlier. these have been an intense three days for the officers and staff of greater manchester police along with the national counter—terrorist policing network and uk intelligence services. i want to reassure people that the arrests we have made are significant and initial searches of premises have revealed items that we believe are very important to the investigation. remember there have also been arrests in libya. we talked about this yesterday on the show. the attacker‘s younger brother hashem and his father ramadan. i mentioned those operations in wigan. the review supervisor danny savage is there. a couple of hours ago, the area around here was sealed off suddenly because in a side street is to left behind me, a property was raided late last last
9:06 pm
night at about 1230, say locals. ever since then police have been about how searching it, looking for evidence following the. suddenly, just after 6pm, they wanted us out on the street, but the initial called in to the end of the road, the bomb disposal unit turned up for you see the lorry behind me which is the bomb disposal unit. it has been head for a couple of hours. the court and was extended further and all the people living within this area have been told to get out of their houses as a precautionary measure. the police have issued a statement in the last half an hour saying, following an arrest in wigan last night, potentially suspicious items were found at the address, and a large gordon hasn't put in place asa bomb a large gordon hasn't put in place as a bomb disposal make a assessment. that is ongoing, the operation is ongoing. as a blustery rhetoric, everyone has been moved out. it is another alarming scene in the greater —— as a precautionary measure, everyone is the greater —— as a precautionary measure, everyone is moved out. it
9:07 pm
is another alarming scene. investigations continue following an arrest into the bombing. only people has to leave their homes? —— how many people have had to leave their homes? is probably in the dozens. one lady, the next—door neighbour of the man who arrested, her room adjoins basically. she is very alarmed if there was a controlled explosion, worried about her own possessions as well. dozens of people have been moved out, not hundreds. local authorities have been consulted in case people stay longer. they were told it was precautionary measure and it wouldn't be overnight, but is dragging on and it could go on longer. they are hoping to get back into their homes soon. danny, thanks for joining into their homes soon. danny, thanks forjoining us. and just seeing this tweet from obama saying this. also
9:08 pm
an update here from billboard magazine in the us saying bbc‘s radio festival will tighten security at many public events are seeing security tightened in parts of the uk. we have learnt more about these who lost their lives on monday night as well as the investigation. they were loved and they are mourned. taken by the bomb, their names keep coming. eilidh macleod, 1a years old, from the outer hebrides, a vivacious teenager who played bagpipes and was full of fun. 19—year—old courtney boyle described as an amazing rock. she went to the concert with her stepdad, philip tron. he too lost his life. two people gone from one family. and wendy fawell from leeds, a mum and school helper. said to have touched the lives of so many. in her home city today friends and neighbours observed the minute's silence,

9:10 pm
about the police service. somebody who cared about community and cared about victims. she left a lasting impression on those who met her, both professionally and in victims of crime she helped. the injured, so many injured, have so much to come to terms with, too. is the families can barely take it all in. this is such a hard time for us. all in. this is such a hard time for us. i had to come. at the i didn't know what to do. i don't know where kaymer what to do. ijust knew something told me to come here. and the injured have so much to come to terms with two. 15—year—old laura anderson has had surgery to remove shrapnel from her leg and shoulder. my ears went muffled. i saw everyone was rushing around me. i was screaming. i felt pain in my legs then, i think. 22 killed, more than 100 injured. we know their names
9:11 pm
and their harrowing stories, but we will never understand their terrible, unfathomable loss. judith moritz, bbc news. as those of you watching on the new channel will know, at 11am there was a minute's silence. these were the pictures recorded on tape and's square in manchester. —— in saint anne's square. applause the queen today visited the royal manchester children's hospital. she met some of those who were injured — and some of the hospital staff who are looking after them. bringing new and important
9:12 pm
development on the lead element of our story. the sharing of intelligence in britain and america after two significant leaks. the bbc home affairs correspondent says they understand the period in which they we re understand the period in which they were not sharing information is over. the decision was taken after assurances were received by counterterrorism officers in the uk. earlier we said they raised the issue with donald trump, and trump said he wanted to get to the bottle —— get the bottom and was taking industry. they are now saying that period has come to an end. after assurances were given to counterterrorism officers. we'll keep you up—to—date as when our collea g u es keep you up—to—date as when our colleagues have updates. i mentioned donald trump. in a few minutes, we'll look at his time in brussels.
9:13 pm
he's been ruffling feathers and manhandling the odd leader as you see there. we'll get all the latest. ukip has launched its manifesto. paul nuttall says it is a message to terrorists that they will not win, the up and added that the other participant too cowardly to address the problem. there was no magic formula to turning back tide. a big islamic fundamentalism. action needs to be taken across many policy areas and will take time to make significant progress. the problem will not be solved if politicians are too
9:14 pm
cowardly. without the political will to ta ke cowardly. without the political will to take difficult decisions, challenge communities and secure our borders, things are only going to get worse. we are live on the bbc newsroom. earlier we reported that british intelligence has stop sharing information about the sharing of information about the sharing of information has now resumed. donald trump has been in brussels.
9:15 pm
"@thisweekabc described him blasts nato allies for not paying fair share.‘ the president's had a busy day. he met with european union leaders. there is juncker and double there isjuncker and double task. remember how scathing the president has been about the eu in the past. he met the new french president, emmanuel macron. that went on for quite a while and has been described as a white knuckle affair of a handshake. he also opened a new nato headquarters with angela merkel — that's a piece of the berlin wall on one side, and a piece of one of the twin towers on the other. trump and merkel both spoke. there was a segment of the twin towers on display just outside the was a segment of the twin towers on displayjust outside the new headquarters. but his speech was the main event — concentrate not only on what mr trump says but how the leaders react. but 23 of the 28 member nations are still not paying
9:16 pm
what they should be paying and what they are supposed to be paying for their defence. this is not fair to the people and taxpayers of the united states. and many of these nations owe massive amounts of money from past years and not paying in those past years. over the last eight years, the united states spent more on defence than all other nato countries combined. if all nato members had spent just 2% of their gdp on defence last year, we would have had another $119 billion for our collective defence and for the financing of additional nature reserves. ——nato reserves. emmanuel macron and others looking
9:17 pm
like schoolboys in trouble, not taking entirely seriously but these are serious matters. plenty to discuss about what was in the speech — and also what wasn't. article 5 is nato's mutual defence pledge. it's the foundation of the idea of nato. doanld trump has yet to endorse it but it was reported that he might today. he didn't. here's tom wright from the booking institute. the story developed further. but then later the white house release a text video confirming that the us was indeed committed to article five. clearly these are matters of global security, where attention to detail matters — slightly worrying then that the white house having decided to tell us it was committed didn't bother to check how committed is spelt. jonathan beale is in
9:18 pm
brussels. he has, broadly speaking, got his maths right in terms of what there are only five members of the alliance of the 28 who are paying the 2%. what he got wrong is that assumption that there are countries that have paid 2% of their gdp on defence who owe masses of money, in his words. that is not how later works. there is no enforcement of that 2%, it's a goal in the target and after each individual member how much they spend on defence. they have the commitment to work towards that 2% but essentially, that assumption that they owe money is wrong. on the issue of article five, donald trump did an veil or was there to unveil the statue of this
9:19 pm
new that building behind me. it has cost 1.2 billion euros. the us has contributed 22% of the cost. he unveiled that 911 twisted metal from the twin towers and he did mention that that was the time when, the only time when they invoked article five which is respectively about —— effectively about collecting. he went on to say i believe in article five and will protect the country under attack. perhaps that is why people thought he could have gone a bit further. he did mention it, though. stay with us, have a couple more questions. before i go back to driving, it's worth saying it will be good to see brussels. last year he said it was "a "hell hole" and a mess — and responded to criticism by saying i was so right!". clearly, brussels is not like that.
9:20 pm
i'm not sure if they raised the issue with him. some may not have had the chance. this is quite a video. montenegro will be newest member of nato in a couple of weeks. this is a little moment caught on video which tells us quite a few things. before i play it, this is the lithuanian leader, the montenegro is leader, the hungarian leader and nato. here is donald trump, look how he deals with the leader of montenegro, a big shock, his quite pleased, he does his jacket up to say i am the leader here. it's worth a second view. lots of people have been analysing that if there was not clarity on the pecking order, mr trump certainly clear that up. you've been having fun with that video, but more broadly, how have you been viewing the relations between mr trump and his colleagues? that video gives you an indication. it fits in with his
9:21 pm
view that america was either is paying more than it should be and it should be in the front line of any photograph. in that speech, looking at the other leaders as they listen then, there was some amusement, over, for example, —— bemusement when he said they should focus not just on russia and terrorism, which is one of the primary reasons he was nato to be there, you think terrorism is the number—1 thing to be focused on really. but he also said immigration. nato is a military allowa nce said immigration. nato is a military allowance with nothing to with immigration. that is up to individual states, the european union as a group, for example, that is not certainly there were responsibility of nato. there were some amusement doing this beach, some amusement doing this beach, some had smile —— bemusement doing this speech. some had smiles and it
9:22 pm
could be embarrassing that donald trump was giving both barrels but may have understood the organisation slightly wrong. let's talk about donald trump's first budget which is being scrutinised in the senate. there is a lot on an accounting area where $2 trillion has been counted twice. a reasonably large mistake if it has been made. this is the white house budget director who is not having it. he stands by the numbers saying he went through line by line. he says president trump on the budget rests on a reasonably optimistic but the jackson on 3% growth. how optimistic is 3%, similar? if you think about it. look at the federal reserve , think about it. look at the federal reserve, the us central bank. they are looking at short—term, we will see growth in the us near around 2%. if you look at the congressional
9:23 pm
budget office, they also said that growth is going to hover around 1.9%. so this idea that we will see 396 1.9%. so this idea that we will see 3% growth in the us, is really quite an optimistic view. but the white house and mrtrump an optimistic view. but the white house and mr trump believes this is going to be achieved by the massive tax cuts you're going to see. that is going to spur growth and that is the reason they believe, they are going to see that 3% growth. the reason they believe, they are going to see that 396 growth. thank you. we will leave it there because we have stories to fit in before the end of this half. i want to look about the oil price which is similar has been following am sure. look at what has happened from this grasp in bloomberg. the organisation that represents oil—producing countries have agreed to extend production cuts, reducing production, pushing up cuts, reducing production, pushing up prices. but the markets were looking for the cuts would go further and they didn't, which is why they have reacted in a disappointed fashion. you might be
9:24 pm
thinking, low oil prices is low petrol prices which is good for us. true, perhaps, but it will be tough on the countries which produce oil and rely on oilfor on the countries which produce oil and rely on oil for that primary revenue. here is andrew walker. there are some countries that could really do with much higher oil prices, the ones that come to mind and venezuela. for venezuela, prices, the ones that come to mind and venezuela. forvenezuela, it prices, the ones that come to mind and venezuela. for venezuela, it is pa rt and venezuela. for venezuela, it is part and parcel of a much wider, really profound economic and political crisis. there are certainly some countries you could do with prices being a great deal higher. with the kind of prices that those two countries could do with, it's not going to happen in the foreseeable future. new zealand has successfully launched a rocket into space from the well‘s first private all but all launch pad. this is a little rocket, smaller than one you might see nasa launch. only 17
9:25 pm
metres tall. it is designed to carry a tiny cubes satellite that is revolutionising the market. they made it into space, it took three minutes to get up there, not quite into orbit. the company stressed it is just into orbit. the company stressed it isjust a into orbit. the company stressed it is just a test, it was code—named hashtag it's a test say they didn't think it is it for them. the next launch will be later this year, also a test where they will try to get into orbit. on the third test, it will take a payload. it can only carry a small load but this fast developing market is really what we wa nt to developing market is really what we want to get into. its companies, not countries, in the space race at the moment. so it's a big leap forward. that's it for this half. i'll be back with you in a couple of minutes‘s time. see you then. good evening. the strong sunshine
9:26 pm
has lifted the temperatures to the highest they have been so far this year. 28 degrees in ireland scotland, 90 degrees as well in north east wales. the high pressure, we have got beef south—easterly warm winds of the continent. this will bring a change later tomorrow. in the meantime, plenty of photographs like this sent in from aberystwyth included yarm. this was enjoyed in highland scotland, barely a cloud in the sky. through the evening, the sun starts to set little change in temperature and we'll pick up sea fog near the north coast of england. the mist as well. but it will be a warm night especially in the north, possibly less oppressive in the south at the small breeze on friday morning. that list the temperatures in similarareas to morning. that list the temperatures in similar areas to delay. there is change afoot later on. showers not too far from the west of northern
9:27 pm
ireland. it looks fine, dry, hot in daylight. we are likely to exceed the day before the temperatures in highland scotland, north wales, london as well. around the north sea coast again, the north sea is quite cool at this time of year. it will tend to feel not as hot. if you are finding this heat a little folk free, you can head to the coast. that said, even where it is cooler, the uv index isjustified. unusually, we are seeing high level of these last couple of days in southern areas. that is unusual any time of year in the uk, we are only three weeks away from the longest day. it starts the trains on friday night with the arrival of thundery rain. -- night with the arrival of thundery rain. —— starts to change. the intensity and duration will be more likely across northern part of the country. we will see some thundery showers across some areas, breaking the heat with nasty thunderstorms
