using thinking about it rather than using the throwaway word evil. it is interesting how she described what happened. the photograph of the victim and her mother thrilled to see her but you sense that hospital staff likewise. that is her role. he com pletely staff likewise. that is her role. he completely nonpolitical head of state is very important at times of national wobble, national emotional crisis. the visit from the queen probably comforts all of us, not just the people she met today. you wa nt just the people she met today. you want the monarch to be visible at a time like this. it is a nice set of pictures and she handled it as she a lwa ys pictures and she handled it as she always does with total aplomb. that is the first time we have seen the victims at all. for the queen to get interviews with them is ok by most

journalists. the financialtimes, donald trump, you have been studying him in some detail. it says that he has suffered his share of awkward moments at the gathering and i have been compulsively watching the videos of how he has been interacting with the other leaders of nato countries. when he was standing for president he co ntroversially standing for president he controversially said that nato was obsolete so this is the main defence co—operation organisation of the western powers. he has come around to it since being elected president. here he was for the first time. unlike his secretary of state who had come to need to a couple of months ago and made very soft and friendly noises towards america's allies, trump was very

confrontational and slide of a run—off for not paying enough. there is this background road about whether the us has been leaking intelligence from the investigation into the manchester bombing. it has been a very tense day of the nato summit. bizarre bits of film of trump being snubbed by emmanuel macron the new president of france. that look awkward. we were behind emmanuel macron and he veered away to angela merkel. the clever one would be talked to the person you do not know. there is also footage of trump rudely pushing the montenegrin prime minister out of the way and he has only just been prime minister out of the way and he has onlyjust been elected so he did not have time to feel to contribute financially. on that contribution

does he have a point? the united states without doubt do give more in percentage terms than others and he can look at others and say you have to pay your way. he is right. he looks around america and sees that they need the money. he is saying we're not going to protect them u nless we're not going to protect them unless they follow suit. the 296 of gdp is paid for. the uk does periods way. apparently there have been fresh assurances of the distancing that was happening a few hours ago is no longer happening. yes, but there is no doubt about the feuding. incredible british understatement yesterday from michael fallon and others. those photos were forensic evidence. they will be shot in a

trial, when anyone is caught and for them to appeared in the media as outrageous. there is also a point about endangering sources. we know that the white house might have a slightly loose attitude to this so there was a question about security co—operation. there was a question about security co-operation. chris wrote this. armed police on the trains and the metro. —— chris wrote the next one. this is yet another measure of how serious the terrorist threat, some sort of imminent event, is being taken. this is very dramatic. even when there is heavy policing we are not used to seeing this on the streets and it will certainly feel very uncomfortable for a lot of

people to see armed police on the trains. it has already been uncomfortable for people to see the armed forces. it has been very interesting talking to, there was an interview this morning with david blu nkett interview this morning with david blunkett talking about when he was home secretary and there was a similarly elevated terror threat and suddenly there were tanks outside heathrow and he decided it was just an unhealthy thing to be showing and that if you were going to use the armed forces you had to do it quite su btly armed forces you had to do it quite subtly or is not to frighten people too much because... some will be reassured. we do not want to get used to it. we are not subject to whatever they know about the security issues so they are responding to it. it looks alarming. how little play on the election day

in two weeks, looking at the exit poll, we will be hearing who has one. i wonder whether they will have to bring in security to protect polling booths and if you are voting and there is a guy with a gun outside how does that make you feel? the election entered the news again today through ukip. jeremy corbyn tomorrow. he is going to say tomorrow. he is going to say tomorrow that britain's behaviour overseas, libya, syria, iraq, has an impactand overseas, libya, syria, iraq, has an impact and maybe has fuelled some terrorism in this country. the timing of this coming after manchester means we are linking the two. linking what happened in manchester. the guy who has blown himself up was known to have libyan pa rents himself up was known to have libyan parents and had been fairly recently. these are well known. well—known views he has had for a

while. the fact he is choosing to say this four days later... the conservatives cannot believe their luck. he will not mind because it supports his view. people are finding out what he thinks. it is not a misstep, it is what he thinks and it is good to have the debate before the election. another example of how this election campaign is embracing many more points of view ona embracing many more points of view on a whole array of issues that perhaps previous ones have. there is a big choice for people this time. what it is offering people is a very polarised choice. this sort of pacifist background ofjeremy corbyn and the hard left of the labour

party is something that has not been pa rt party is something that has not been part of the labour party in government in our memory over the past two decades and certainly was not part of the tony blair and gordon brown parliament and on the other side you have theresa may who has managed to successfully absorbed most of the majority of ukip voters you have the choice. it is the polarised choice. that is not much going on in the centre. it will be interesting to see how people jump. these are the sincere viewers of the far left of the labour party. he would argue it would be dishonest not to voice them. you would argue about the timing. there have not been any funerals yet. the names of the victims are being released. 9/11, the attack on america, happened before the afghanistan

invasion, for a rack, for any western intervention, that is what the war on terror has been a consequence of, not any invasion. the times has an interesting poll. we all this approach these with caution. after 2015 most news organisations decided to try to calm down about polling data. however there are sometimes polls which are not on the marking a moment of change in the campaign but can actually affect people's votes. in the scottish independence referendum that poll by the same company... two weeks before... that seem to show that the independent site was going to win... and we all scrambled to

scotland. it injected panic into the sea in the uk campaign and all sorts of promises were made. this is one poll, there may be others. it changes behaviour because one of the things the conservatives think they are backing his complacency about the idea jeremy corbyn cannot win. it could end up helping them but it could be the start of something more like a close race. yougov had them are nine points last sunday. good morning britain had them at nine points. it is now five points. 25 points. it is now five points. 25 points when the election was called. there's a feeling jeremy corbyn is offering hope and some of ideas, real, investment. energy. he is offering ideas and thoughts and tuition fees. what is theresa may's

big offer? where is the vision? she appears to warning people about what might happen ifjeremy corbyn gets in. there was a lot of policy in her ma nifesto. in. there was a lot of policy in her manifesto. it was policy that you would describe as grave confronting the voters with uncomfortable truths than things they do not want to hear like social care. i want to not to the guardian because we are back to extremism but talking about a different element to it. what theresa may is going to say to the g7 tomorrow about technology. facebook and social media dealing with online extremism. some of this has been known about before. the tories will be pleased that is a splash. time has beaten us. that's it for the papers tonight. don't forget you can see the front pages of the papers online

on the bbc news website. and if you miss the programme any evening you can watch it later on bbc iplayer. thank you. goodbye. with 28 degrees to date has been the hottest day of the year so far. we could even see higher than that tomorrow. it has been quite widely in the 20s upwards away from the coast where it has been more refreshing. the high pressure will ensure more sunshine through the course of friday. this is waiting in the wings to bring the start of a change. we have seen plenty of this sort of picture coming in. lovely shots of sunshine in aberystwyth and cornwall. plenty more through the course of friday. through the evening and overnight temperatures will not follow a quickly and will

be and across the northern half of the country compared with last night. not much different to last night. not much different to last night in the south. we have the rest of mist and fog around the coast towards morning. for most of us it is sunshine. fairweather cloud. later we start to see the cloud bubbling up ahead of the next weather front bringing the first pa rt weather front bringing the first part of the change. 28 or 29 on the cards across the northern half of highland scotland, parts of northern ireland, north wales, north—west england and london we could see the highest temperatures but it is hot everywhere. on the coast where it feels more refreshing the uv index is still high and unusually we have very high levels across southern parts of england at the moment and those continue through friday and thenit those continue through friday and then it is all change. on saturday it will not be as much. low pressure, thundery, it is difficult

to give the finite details. north—western scotland having a pretty wet and thundery day. there will be some down ports in england but ahead and behind there will be pleasa nt but ahead and behind there will be pleasant weather as there will be in eastern scotland. sunday we have freshened up across the northern half of the uk, showers moving away, a gradual improving picture but still heat and humidity. the next break down through the latter part of sunday and into monday and elsewhere we have pressure weather. we will keep you updated. this is bbc news.

i'm julian woricker. the headlines at 11pm: police investigating the manchester attack say they've found potentially suspicious items at a property in wigan. eight suspects remain in custody. the arrests that we have made are significant and initial searches of premises have revealed items that we believe are very important to the investigation. british intelligence—sharing with the americans on the manchester bombing resumes after assurances there'll be no more leaks. so you've come especially for the concert did you? yeah. the queen visits manchester's children's hospital, meeting some of the injured and the staff treating them. also this hour, a noisy return to election campaigning.
