it is a place that has become the focus of many tributes. we have watched as many people pass by and stopped for a moment? charlie, that is the thing. there are so many people still coming here. you can see the square filling up. what is incredibly striking is how quiet it is. people coming here to lay tributes and have a look at the m essa 9 es tributes and have a look at the messages written to victims. the overall feeling of sadness, anger and defiance. the chief constable of greater manchester police, ian hopkins, came here yesterday evening primarily to reassure people that he is doing everything he can with police drafted in from around the country to keep people safe this weekend. that is important because there are some big events happening in manchester. there is the great city games, which got under way yesterday. the great manchester run, which is gone to happen on sunday.

9:08 am
the hot topic of climate change? yes, this is fascinating. this is where the g7 doesn't become the g7 and a more. it is the g six against the gi. donald trump said that climate change may be a hoax. he threatened to withdraw the united states from the climate change agreement. the other states say, slowdown, stick with the agreement. i spoke to the un secretary—general who said the agreement would survive evenif who said the agreement would survive even if mrtrump who said the agreement would survive even if mr trump decided to withdraw the united states from the accord. nevertheless, the six leaders will wa nt to nevertheless, the six leaders will want to see the united states stick with it. one of mr trump's advisers has said that his position is softening. thank you. a couple, believed to be in their 80s, have been murdered in county armagh. a relative found their bodies at their home in portadown yesterday afternoon. they are reported to have been stabbed. a a0 year—old man has been arrested. the prime minister will chair a

9:10 am
interact with the world around them. they are often diagnosed between the ages of six and nine. services in south—west london are very stretched command the nhs there is considering a controversial idea. a team that is supposed to carry out 750 annual assessments is actually getting i300 referrals a year. so nhs commissioners can bring five local council areas want to reduce the number of children diagnosed with autism, by focusing specifically on the most severe cases, where children have another illness such as depression. a leading autism charity is deeply concerned. we think it is short—sighted and can cause lots more problems and be more costly in the long run, and will have a massive impact on those families whojust have a massive impact on those families who just wants to find out what they can do to help their children and what support needs to be put in place. the charity has written to the nhs in south—west
9:11 am
london, urging them to withdraw the proposal. the commissioning groups say nothing has been decided yet. and they will talk to local people before deciding the way forward. construction has started on the world's largest telescope, at the top of a 3,000 metre—high mountain in the middle of the chilean desert. when completed, the european extremely large telescope — or elt — will be five times larger than the biggest instruments in use today, and its backers say it has the potential to transform our understanding of the universe. you know i was questioning what would come next? we had the very large telescope. this is the extremely large telescope. the joy of this problem is you ask viewers to help us out and they do. lots of people highlighted that the next name for the telescope is going to be the overwhelmingly large telescope. it will have a diameter of 100 metres. it is big. it is

9:15 am
should, and hope people should be thinking about big events and what to do in terms of security? the main thing is to heed the advice of police etc, who are saying it is safe to go to these events. if police had any doubts they would be recommending the events were cancelled. take comfort in the fact that we have very well—developed procedures in respect of security at events. they have been developed over a number of years. there will bea over a number of years. there will be a great deal more high visibility security and policing out there over the weekend. just listen to the advice from people and professionals on the ground. take sensible precautions, as your previous contributors said. don't take large bags. umbrellas etc. and just enjoy the day. be aware of what is going on around you. just enjoy the weekend. it can be quite intimidating seeing armed soldiers and armed police. how
9:16 am
should people cope with that? just physically it is intimidating to see. it is not something we're used to seeing. also, it is a reminder that we are perhaps endanger. to seeing. also, it is a reminder that we are perhaps endangerlj think, that we are perhaps endanger.” think, conversely, what we are seeing is positive feedback on twitter and other social media networks were the public say they are actually reassured, particularly with heightened search and screening methods being put in place. i think the reassurance aspect of the operations is actually working at this time. you deal with a lot of security companies and training of security companies and training of security personnel, is that correct? we deal with training for security, but we deal with specialised operations that enhance security at arenas and steady. what kind of training and preparation is needed foran ordinary training and preparation is needed for an ordinary person who is doing a job as for an ordinary person who is doing ajob asa for an ordinary person who is doing a job as a security officer? we're not about police or soldiers. 0rdinary people who are told, you are ina
9:17 am
0rdinary people who are told, you are in a heightened situation and you may have to deal with a danger that you haven't had a lifetime of training for. training is an ongoing process throughout the year, particularly since the bataclan. many venues and security companies have announced their security regime, theirtraining. protocols are regularly practised at events and arenas and stadiums. there is a great deal of preparation that goes in there, such as evacuation procedures, familiarity with the various programmes. a massive amount of preparation. 0n the specialist side of things, we have seen an increase in former police and former military personnel coming into the private sector who have additional skill sets, and those skill sets are being honed, particularly in relation to behaviour protection officers, who will be on the outside officers, who will be on the outside of events, who are looking for a
9:18 am
particular patterns of behaviour. the training is quite intense. some of this is developed by universities. we have well researched and well proven data behind it. and i think again you can ta ke co mfo rt behind it. and i think again you can take comfort that all those measures are in place. thank you forjoining us. cameras all over the place this morning. you have probably seen wembley. whether looking good there and in manchester. hull, we saw a moment ago, for the big weekend. we have got some blue skies there as well. that would be perfect weather at that kind of event. there is a bit ofa that kind of event. there is a bit of a breeze, a little bit of cloud, so you will not be sweltering. i hope. darren, what do you think? we have got a lot of heat around in the sunshine, we also have some storms. this is my pick of the morning so far. this is my pick of the morning so fa r. west this is my pick of the morning so far. west sussex, where we have

9:22 am
there are two groups of people. there are two groups of people. there are those who have observed it and the people who are in it. they are the ones really grieving and they do need help. and some of them, by the way, kids and parents, will look as if they are coping extremely well. there were' resilient, but maybe three weeks later, two months later, something triggers it. you have to be so careful. and notjust children. this picture has touched so many. isn't this wonderful? explain this to anybody who has not seen it. this is sadik patel and run a black, both from blackburn. she is 93 and he is like 46. they have been friends for the last ten years. they are part of a forum for interfaith

the fans are in that adds to it. the substitutions will be important today and when you look at what antonio conte has done, that's another advantage he has. it's not just about the final, it's the run—up. we had this goal you scored in 1993. tranmere versus oldham, a diving header! every club you play for, you remember. tranmere was good and the bbc did a big deal about us in that little run. ipswich beat us in the end. eventually, it's the cup, the final, the winners and that is who you care about. i'm trying to
9:47 am
relax as if i'm in the back garden, but the mowers are going past here! it's the nominal. think about the games that have gone on here. the pitch is absolutely beautiful as well. no excuses for the players. a number of conversations for the teams, if you are antonio conte, you've got this wonderful choice between fabregas and matty— matic so perhaps that will be a big cool for him. so perhaps that will be a big call for him.

arsenalfans arsenal fans assay that arsene wenger, if he wind, he's likely he can go because he wants to go out on a high. —— if he wind. —— if he wins. when they played bayern lost 5—1 thenit when they played bayern lost 5—1 then it looked like the death of a team, but then they were a point of getting into the top four in so it shows you define margins at this level. had he got into the top four and one today, it it would be seen asa and one today, it it would be seen as a great season. tiny margins. can they surprise chelsea? of course they
9:49 am
can. it will be a makeshift defence that these are no lands to the slaughter, arsenal, today. there's no doubt that chelsea are favourites, because they are playing well, but remember since arsenal have changed from a 3—a— three, it has worked... they've stuck to it. what about aberdeen? given this season and their history, i think celtic will win. great form, great team. let's remind you of your cup final appearance with everton. don't miss any of the build—up. the fa cup show will be at tpm, everything

cambridgeshire and this could be one of the warmest part of the country. we are seeing a very humid, mucky and hot start to the weekend. it will feel warm in the sunshine. rain not far—away. but as we've seen, this line of rain with more on the way. this will push northwards, fade away and then there will be a second batch heading into north—west england. at the same time it's turning wet across northern england. but for the north—east, the sunshine tea m but for the north—east, the sunshine team shining and we are looking at temperatures close to 30 celsius and around the moray firth ‘s. there could be some gusty wind, some cool, wet weather developing in northern ireland. as we had further east

across southern england, it will be warm in the sunshine. storms further north, leading northern england —— leaving northern england, the rain easing off. temperatures 13—1adc. into tomorrow it will start off quite cloudy, there's a chance to northern ireland will hang on to the cloud and we could see some late show was arriving from the south west. hit and miss but the show was worked their way northwards, compared to today, some showery bursts of rain working their way northwards and things becoming less bright. that's it from me. darren,
9:53 am
we're hearing from mike at wembley. he's saying he wants a nice cool drink, what are your plans for this afternoon? i and going for a walk, i am told. enjoy it! see you. the charlatans are a band that are no strangers to adversity. they've tragically lost two members over the years, but they're still together. and now they're back with a new album which is being described — in one review — as their best for two decades. they're a band with strong links to manchester, and tonight they're performing at the first large gig to be played in the city since the atrocities of monday evening. singer tim burgess and guitarist mark collins are with us now. let's talk about your great affinity for this part of the world and what happened and how it has shocked everyone. what have you been up to,
9:54 am
because you have been talking to people as the album has been released this week. i'm obviously devastated, it is quite unbelievable how this has happened. how people reacted to you as you've been promoting the album? we were doing a few small shows around the oldham street area of the northern quarter, and there were a lot of people, a sense of unity really, and it was quite charged, the atmosphere, that there was a great will, and we felt there was a great will, and we felt the love. it's often hard to find the words to express what you think, but for you
9:55 am
guys, express what you think, but for you guys, the statement you are making is 3—d performance you are going to give, you will be doing a first music gig since the terrorist attack on monday, and that is a statement in itself, isn't it? i think it is. people want to try to continue as normally as possible, to try and get out and see music and get out and be social again. the thought process for you, we carry on as planned? that something you talk about, get together and talk that through? the show tonight has been planned for months and months and there was discussion between the promoter and the police whether to have it, but we wa nted the police whether to have it, but we wanted to do it and all the bands
9:56 am
included wanted to do it and i think it is the right thing to do. i'm sure the atmosphere will feel quite emotional... the gig at oldham street had been planned for months and the police were there, and the emotion is quite charged and it starts off quite gentle and then all ofa starts off quite gentle and then all of a sudden, something takes over, that you are not expecting. it's about people being together really. we think cancelling it would be the wrong message, as well. the thing you were talking about people loving what they love a bit more, doing the thing they are doing a bit more, you have this new album out. we are going to have a little look at it. it's called plastic machinery.
