he murdered 22 children, women and men. a rucksack on his back, he'd flown in from libya five days earlier. police have released this picture, its background removed, because they want information about what he did in that time. day and night, they've crisscrossed manchester, raiding buildings, making arrests. this was moss side yesterday. the area was cordoned off for a while with the bomb disposal team on standby. 11 men are in custody, and there are now 17 searches either concluded or continuing, largely in the north—west of england. police have revealed that after the bombing at 10:33 on monday night, forensic officers went straight in to examine the aftermath. within two hours, they'd identified the bomber, possibly from id found on his body. they've tracked his movements from the family home to the flat he's said to have rented before

disappearing to libya, returning on the 18th of may to move into a city centre apartment where the bomb was likely to have been assembled. they've pieced together his network — friends and relatives are in custody. they're gathering financial evidence of who backed him, but crucially they now know how the bomb was put together. that will help them judge the ongoing risk of another attack. yesterday, the terrorism threat level was lowered, an attack now considered highly likely but not imminent. security remains high at public events over the bank holiday weekend, with soldiers expected on the streets until midnight on monday. meanwhile, the police are urging the public to remain vigilant. esyllt carr, bbc news. back to manchester. frankie mccamley is at the city's cathedral where prayers are being said for the victims of the attack this morning. tell us more about what has been

leaving heathrow today despite that it outage. but they can't say precisely the number of delays and cancellations, so we have been taking a look at the departure boards and totting up the figures. between six and nine o'clock, afforded to ba flights did leave. but 29 were cancelled. that looks like a cancellation rate of around 40%. like a cancellation rate of around a0%. meanwhile, continuing problems at terminalfive, a0%. meanwhile, continuing problems at terminal five, lots of congestion there this morning. that may have reduced a little because the police are now managing access to the building. they are checking that people have got a flight booked for later on today. they are not allowing them into the terminal until 90 minutes before that flight. early on there were lots of people in the terminal trying to rebook theirflights, in the terminal trying to rebook their flights, they were urged not to come to the airport but they said they could not get in touch with the airline on the phone. they could not contact them via the website. in

desperation, they were turning up in person to try and sort out those problems. those people not now being allowed into the terminal. london gatwick it seems the vast majority of ba flights departing as normal. early on we had heard of only one consolation. we are not hearing about such big problems there. —— only one cancellation. he at heathrow chaos is the word being used by a lot of ba customers and problems are continuing. thank you andy. let's hear more from one of those customers now, at heathrow is david evans who is trying to get to a conference in prague. what has been happening to you so far today? it's been an absolute disaster. i'm trying to give you some shots behind of people in the first queue which goes up into a second queue, then a third, before they can even get a registration desks. i have been here since 9:30am. i am going to make

moral way home now. i stayed in a hotel overnight, could not get through on the app, on the phone, the website, nothing. i am through on the app, on the phone, the website, nothing. iam not prepared to spend another night in a hotel. i should have been in prague at atm this morning. so you have given up on your conference? well, maybe not. i was due to speak tomorrow morning so i have had to cancel that but if i can rebook and go out tomorrow for the end of the conference that would be great. it only happens every two years, a disaster to miss it. what is your view of the way this has been handled by the ba? absolutely dismal. the announcement that came out telling us to go, to vacate the premises, that's the first now in three hours. the first official announcement. there is nobody coming around with water or anything. we are standing in queues, you are nervous to leave your back because you are told not to but it means you cannot go free drink on to the toilet. it's really terrible. and

you have won up a bill presumably to stay in that hotel overnight?” you have won up a bill presumably to stay in that hotel overnight? i did, that was £1119 premiere in. it was £52 ina that was £1119 premiere in. it was £52 in a taxi just to take me to that local hotel. £200 already. we appreciate you coming on and bringing us up to date. sorry, obviously, for the destruction you have faced. cheers. thank you very much. a vigil has been held in the us city of portland for two men who were killed when they tried to stop a man from racially abusing two teenage girls. it's thought the girls were muslim. jeremyjoseph christian, a convicted criminal, will appear in court of tusday. caroline davies reports. panic and fear on a normal commuter train. i was so scared. they were stabbing inside the train. there were people running around and crying. this was the scene in portland.

two men were stabbed to death here. other passengers said they were trying to stop a man abusing two teenage girls who appeared to be muslim. this is the suspect, jeremyjoseph christian. while travelling on a train on friday afternoon, police said that he became aggressive. he was yelling, ranting, raving a lot of things which would be characterised as hate speech. some people approached him, appeared to try to intervene with his behaviour, and some of the people he was yelling at, they were attacked viciously by the suspect. he left the station but was arrested by police. this phone footage shows the moment he was cornered. two men lost their lives. in portland, the deaths were met with upset and anger. there is too much hatred in the world right now. and far too much violence. our current political climate allows far too much room for those whose spread bigotry. violent words can lead to violent acts.

on social media there were strong feelings, with many pointing to the suspect‘s apparent extreme right wing views. former presidential candidate hillary clinton tweeted that no one should have to endure this racist abuse. and no one should have to give their lives to stop it. after the attack, the council on american—islamic relations urged president trump to speak out against increasing islamophobia in the us. chants: not in our town! the groupjoined a vigil to remember the two men who lost their lives. rickyjohn best and this man, taliesin myrddin namkai meche. his mother posted this picture calling her son a hero. both men will be remembered for standing up to hatred. good afternoon. the home secretary amber rudd says the conservatives would set up a commission to tackle terrorism and hate crime and promote british values if they win the general election. labour say they would put 10,000

police on the streets and match a conservative pledge of an extra 1,000 security experts. but as new pictures are released of the manchester bomber, salman abedi, the home secretary claimed she was unaware that several people had contacted police with concerns about his behaviour. here's our political correspondent matt cole. salman abedi, the man who massacred children in manchester, pictured on the night of the attack. but where had he been, who knew his plans and what happened when his friends alerted the security services about his extremism. questions for the home secretary. was salman abedi on a surveillance list? i don't know those details because the intelligence services are still collecting information about him and about the people around him. i wouldn't rush to conclusions, but you seem to be, that they miss

something. people had phoned the terror hotline. as they should do. we will look to see what else we can do, the prime minister announced we will look to see what else we can do, the prime ministerannounced in our manifesto before this, there would be a commission for activism. that commission will include promoting british values to promote a narrative. there will be a specific focus in attitudes affecting women, such as female genital mutilation. but there are u na nswered genital mutilation. but there are unanswered questions, how is the commission to identify extremism, how will it be funded and how will they fit in with existing counterterror work such as the prevent strategy. labour security pledges 10,000 new police officers to replace half of the 20,000 lost on the recent gobern cuts and today, they have promised 1000 actor security officers. but they admit it is only committing to the numbers

promised under david cameron's government top we are saying we want to recruit 10,000 extra police officers, community police officers because we think community policing is key. we want to recruit 3000 extra firefighters, 3000 extra prison officers, 1000, as is say, people in the security field. but setting out her plans to keep britain said, diane abbott said she regrets sounding previously supportive of the ira once claiming the freedom of the british state is freedom for all others. it was 34 yea rs freedom for all others. it was 34 years ago, i had a splendid afro at the time. i don't have the same hairstyle and i don't have the same views. protecting the public is considered the first duty of the government. there isjust ten considered the first duty of the government. there is just ten days left to see if this remains a key

strand. the victims of the terror attack in manchester have been remembered in church services held across the city this morning. the city is still on alert, with armed police guarding proceedings at the great manchester run, which will take place this afternoon. our correspondent chris buckler is in manchester for us. there is a great deal of security and race organisers say they were nervous about letting this event ta ke nervous about letting this event take place. but many of the runners feel it is important it went ahead. in the centre of manchester, people are making a point of being seen to come together. some might call this defiance, but staging the great manchester run less than a week after the bomb attack that left so many families grieving, is about something more simple. it's an attempt to return to normality. however, for the moment, this is the new normal. armed officers and extra security are very visible security a very visible

presence on the streets, to try to offer reassurance. but inevitably, they are a reminder of the attack on the city. i was a bit nervous. i am here with my husband, if anything else could have happened, i've got children at home. i did think twice, i'm not going to lie, but i'm here. originally it was to run for us, but not now, it's to run for manchester. the yellow, the ribbon is for that. we just got to do it. we just can't let them win. and on shirt, after shirt, people are showing support for the families of the 22 people who were killed at the manchester arena. bells toll along the race route they stood silent to show their respect. and

inside manchester cathedral, they joined that spirit of remembrance. the names of the 22 people were read out during church services. we need to stand together and live out the values of caring and togetherness. manchester is on the way back to not living in fear. the terror threat has been reduced, but it remains severe and this is a city still in need of reassurance and support. there will be many more acts of remembrance in manchester today, including celebrations for the lives of some of those who died. those remembrance will take place during the great manchester run and you

will see full coverage of the event straight after this bulletin on bbc one. the family of the late mp greville janner say he's been exonerated after six men who claim they were sexually abused by him dropped their civil claims for damages against his estate. the men say they have abandoned their actions against mrjanner, who died in 2015, after receiving assurances that their allegations will be examined as part of a government—ordered inquiry. british airways is still having to cancel and delay flights at heathrow this lunchtime following yesterday's computer collapse which saw thousands of travellers and hundreds of flights stranded around the world. ba is telling people who's flights were affected yesterday only to turn up at airports if they know they are booked on another flight. joe lynam reports. for some ba customers, it's been a long, uncomfortable night. weary passengers, still hoping to catch their plane. refreshment was being handed out by the airline in a heavily congested terminal five, but some customers were not

in the holiday mood. it's just a lot of moving around, standing in lines and lack of information. i think it's just too bad that they don't know what to do i think it's just too big that they don't know what to do about it and it just seems like there's not enough people. we've been in the line for about five hours now. we've no idea how much longer we'll be here and we're getting no communication from the staff. as thousands of people wait in packed terminals, many will not get to fly today at all. dozens of flights have already been cancelled and many more will not depart as the airline struggles to reset its global network after a major power failure. for aviation insiders though, this would be a lot more than just an operational headache for ba. the passengers don't fly, the airline loses revenue from those passengers and maybe even has to refund and book another airline. but at the same time, they are incurring additional costs because there's compensation in some cases, that may need to be paid, not least from a regulatory point of view. a lot of hidden costs, repatriating

peoples' bags for example. some customers have been told their flight is cancelled online, then to get the exact opposite message when they call the airline to confirm. this issue for ba looks as if it's set to persist for far more than just a few hours. that is the problem facing british airways. the planes which should have started the day in heathrow airport or not, they are coming back from all over the world and that ta kes from all over the world and that takes time. ba have said, we advise people travelling across the bank holiday weekend to continue to check the status of their flight on the website before coming to the airport. we are extremely sorry for the disruption and understand how much frustration it is causing. back to you. you can see more on all of today's stories on the bbc news channel. the next news on bbc one is at 6:05pm, bye for now. the next news on bbc one
