held in custody, on suspicion of terror offences. the victims of the manchester terror attack, have been remembered in church services right across the city, while thousands of runners have been taking part in the great manchester run. the organisers say they were determined it should go ahead, to show the true spirit of the city. chris buckler reports. in the centre of manchester, people ran in remembrance and in defiance. holding this race in these streets just days after an attack here was in itself sending an important message. we're here to run for manchester and to show that we're not scared and we won't give up. this simple act of gathering together after a bombing that left so many families grieving expressed a sentiment that only a few could find the words for. do something to say we need to hate less.

do something through courage and through pain. do something for someone that you care for. do something to help out with the cost. do something for someone that you're there for. that you've lost. yet this attempt to return to normality exposed what has become at least for the moment, the new normal. armed officers and extra security are now an obvious presence, here to offer reassurance, but they're also a reminder of what happened in manchester less than a week ago. yes, i was a bit nervous, i'm here with my husband. if anything else could have happened, you know. . .. i've got children at home, so i did think twice, i'm not going to lie but i'm here. bell tolls people paid their respects all along the race route. and at services nearby

in manchester cathedral. today we remember megan hurley, elaine mciver, courtney boyle, philip tron... there, the names of each one of the 22 people killed on monday were read out. chloe rutherford, liam curry... 0n shirt after shirt, people wore yellow ribbons to show solidarity and sympathy for theirfamilies. we weren't going to come today but we thought we're not going to let them win. we're going to come and have a great day despite everything that's happened. lay some flowers. the kids are going to have fun. trying to move on in manchester does not mean forgetting. and this is a city still in need of support and reassurance. 0ur correspondent dan johnson sent us this update from moss side

after the first raids this afternoon. this is the property that they were searching this afternoon, it was quite an intense raid, they blew the door in on that house back there. detectives and forensic teams were here for some hours this afternoon, and three men were arrested but we heard later they had been, in the words of the police, de—arrested, so they are not of interest to this growing police investigation. and officers have concluded their searches here and most of the police teams have now gone. in a separate development, a few streets away, there was a 25—year—old man arrested this afternoon. a blue car was stopped by police and they were searching that for some time in the street. the boot was open and forensics experts were going over that before it was driven away for further examination. that means 1a people have been arrested over the course of the week since the attack on monday night and 12 men are still in custody,

being questioned by police. officers do seem increasingly confident that they have got to the heart of this network that was part of planning this attack with salman abedi, the suicide bomber. it appears this might have been some sort of mistake today, that they have raided an address which is not connected to the bomber and his network, but overall police feel they have more leads and they have obtained more evidence and they have made further arrests and got to the centre of this network. but they haven't ruled out the possibility of further development is to come in the days ahead. armed police have been patrolling the beach in scarborough following the manchester bombing. north yorkshire police said it was a precautionary measure after the threat level in the uk was raised to critical. the patrols have been highly visible on the beach and in other busy areas of the town after monday's attack at manchester arena. and we'll find out how this story —

and many others — are covered in tomorrow's front pages at 10:30 and 11:30pm this evening in the papers. 0ur guestsjoining me tonight are john rentoul, chief political commentator at the independent and ruth lea, economic adviser at arbuthnot banking group. for a second day, british airways has had to cancel or delay numerous flights in and out of heathrow, following the collapse of ba's computer system due to a power failure. ba has issued a statement saying gatwick is now running a nearfull operation, and at heathrow, they hope to operate all long haul services. joe lynam sent this report. for some ba customers, it's been a long, uncomfortable night. bleary passengers this morning, still hoping to catch their plane. even free bottles of water at terminal 5failed to cool some people's mood. it's a lot of moving around, and a lack of information. it's too big and they don't know what to do with it and it seems

like there is not enough people. we have been in the line for about five hours and we have no idea how much longer we will be here and getting no communication from the staff. sarah and herfamily should be in budapest but instead she is stuck having lunch at a pub near heathrow. she was told to go to the airport only to find the flight had been cancelled. we travelled based on the fact our fight was still running and we had been told by british airways to make sure flights were running, before we left home, and we did that. you have come from? malvern in worcestershire and my sister has come from folkestone. now they are probably going on holiday in the uk instead. we had really been looking forward to it because we like going away together, but it's not as bad as it could have been because other people probably had it worse than us. british airways passengers in rome have been told it might be tuesday before they get home.

some travelled by train from naples, coming for a plane which never took off. we are going from here to barcelona and barcelona to london but the barcelona fight has been delayed an hour and so we have 30 minutes to get the connecting flight in the hope we get back to london tonight, otherwise we have got to wait two days. as thousands of people wait, 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. but confusion still abounds, some passengers have been told their flight is cancelled online and then get the exact opposite message when they called the airline to confirm. the problem looks set to persist for far more than just a few hours. 0ur correspondent andy moore has been reporting from heathrow today — he sent us this update a short

while ago. the problems continue here at heathrow and we estimate something like one quarter of the outgoing ba flights have been cancelled today. we heard from the chief executive, who said the priority was the long haulflights who said the priority was the long haul flights and was planning to get most of those away but there would be problems with short—haul flights. we have had an updated statement from the company which says many of their it systems are back up to date, presumably at some are not, and they say they are doing their best to restore their programmes as fully as possible. gatwick seems to be running pretty well as normal but the company says there are still disruptions and cancellations at heathrow. they say terminal five is still congested so the advice is for passengers not to turn up at the airport unless they have a confirmed

booking on a flight and only turn up 90 minutes in advance. normally, if you take a short—haul flight you should turn up two hours in advance and for long haul flight more than three hours in advance. but to reduce congestion in the terminal the company says only turn up 90 minutes before. the chief executive said he understood how horrible it had been for many customers and said the company was pulling out all the stops to solve the problem but he said we are not there yet. mark borkowski is a pr and branding consultant. he joins me on webcam from stroud. thank you forjoining us. from what you have seen so far, how much of a public—relations disaster has this been? if you were to follow the social

media channels you can pick up a disgruntled group of passengers and i think it is a major meltdown for ba and they will be hoping... ba are not immune from some of these meltdowns and the terminal five opening was a complete disaster. there are lots of people out there looking for accommodation, their business services of the priority but if it was to happen at the time... it seems to be the not handling it well and lots of are sharing some pretty appalling customer service stories. what might be consequences before the company? it is a big company

which will be for test on recovering. we had the american airlines situation where a man was forcibly taken off a plane. i suspect they will be losing a lot of customers who will be thinking twice about travelling. travelling on a plane is not what it once was it can be an absolute nightmare. what would you advise a british airways to do to recover from this? clearly they have got to look at how they treat customers and try to do as much as they can to alleviate the pain in many people have been through. this will test the brand and now they will be under scrutiny to achieve what they have been seeing through social media, that they want to try and fix this.

march, thank you for your time. passengers travelling on eurotunnel‘s folkestone to calais line are facing disruption tonight due to technical faults on some shuttles. eurotunnel says trains are running, but there are delays of around two and a half hours. passengers are being urged to check in as normal while the problem is fixed. eurotunnel says that it's focused on reducing the delays as quickly as possible. the headlines on bbc news: a 25—year—old man has been arrested, as armed police stage a further raid as part of inquiries into the manchester arena bomb attack. the conservatives and labour promise more action to minimise the threat of terror attacks in the wake of the manchester bombing. british airways passengers face further disruption as the company warns of delays and cancellations — following a global computer failure that saw all flights cancelled yesterday. and now the sport with a full

round—up. ferrari's sebastian vettel has won the monaco grand prix while lewis hamilton finished in seventh place, after starting in 13th on the grid. vettel extended his world championship lead over hamilton to 25 points with the win. while jenson button‘s 0ne—off return to formula one ended after a collision. fernando alonso is currently in action at the indianapolis 500 as the former formula one world champion tries to win another of the world's best known races. his decision to skip the monaco grand prix looks justified so far. he started from seventh and took the lead a quarter of the way into the race. but a huge crash involving britain's jay howard and scott dixon saw the race briefly suspended, both drivers are ok. alonso is currently second. it's the first day of the french

0pen it's the first day of the french open and the woman's world number one is with out in straight sets. dan evans' french open debut has ended in a first round defeat to tommy robredo. clay is far from evans' favourite surface but he looked at home taking the first set 7—5 before the 35 year old spaniard levelled the match. the british numberfour remained on the back foot and robredo cruised through the next two sets to wrap up a 3—1 victory. sir ben ainslie's great britain team are back in action in the america's cup qualifiers in bermuda. they had to work through the night to repair damage to the boat's hull that was sustained in a high speed collision yesterday. and things didn't go according to plan on the water in their first race today after that mistake at the end of their third leg. they were beaten by 39 seconds by the oracle team usa. ainslie's team has one more race this evening. hamilton more race this evening. have retained their place hamilton have retained their place in the scottish premiership after beating dundee united 1—0 in the second leg of the play—offs. with

the thai goalless after the first leg greg docherty scored the winner just after the hour mark. blackpool have been promoted to league one after beating exeter 2—1 in the play off final at wembley. that's despite only selling around 6 thousand tickets for the match, with many of their fans deciding to stay away in protest at the running of the club. the sides were i—all at the break, but the winning goal came in the second half from mark cullen. so after back—to—back relegations, finally something for blackpool fans to celebrate. england have beaten the barbarians 28—14 at twickenham in their last match before next month's tour to argentina. with much of eddie jones' side elsewhere including some on lions duty, the starting line up featured seven debutants including nathan earle, who was first across over the line. england scored three tries in all, the second from another new face, that of nick isiekwe. danny care claimed the third as they won 28—14. the 100th giro d'italia went right down to the last kilometre,

and it was tom dumoulin, who started the day in fourth place, who claimed the winner's pinkjersey. the final stage was a time trial from the monza grand prix circuit to milan, which played to the dutch rider's strengths — he set the fastest time of all the main contenders nairo quintana, who'd taken took the race lead on friday, needed to finish within 53 seconds of dumoulin‘s time. but couldn't manage it. dumoulin becomes the first dutchman to win the giro. that's all sport for now. i'll have more in the next hour the german chancellor has said that the us and britain are no longer reliable partners — and that europe ‘must take its fate into its own hands‘. angela merkel told the crowd at an election rally that a western world divided by brexit and donald trump's presidency meant that germany and france must build even warmer relations. it came after a difficult g7 summit which exposed

divisions between the us and other leading powers. let's speak to our correspondent damien mcguinness who joins us via webcam from berlin. angela merkel looking for a new allegiances, david ? angela merkel looking for a new allegiances, david? it was quite a forthright message but to certain expense “— forthright message but to certain expense —— certain extent what she is doing is going back to that franco german alliance which order narrowly in the past the driving force behind eu integration. france has been struggling in the last few yea rs has been struggling in the last few years and that could now turn round with the new president emmanuel macron who is very much on the same line of thinking as angela merkel, both free trade and liberal values. she's hoping paris and berlin can work together to get the eu really going again. that is also in the face of definite challenges, including brexit, and the other being donald trump. that is a leader that european leaders find very difficult to deal with, much more

difficult to deal with, much more difficult than president 0bama and thatis difficult than president 0bama and that is why today angela merkel was very forthright in saying even though we want to maintain friendly relationships with a button and the usa we cannot rely on them any more and that is quite a blunt message. —— of relationships with britain and the usa. that is like she's pushing for more eu integration because there is a certain amount of optimism with the euro growing so she is looking forward to her election in september, if she stays strong and emmanuel macron stay strong and emmanuel macron stay strong in the french parliamentary elections we could see that happening. the conservatives and labour have been focusing on national security today. labour wanted to —— recruit more security experts and police. the actions of this man, salman

abedi, forced a pause in the election campaign and now preventing others like him as part of the debate. the home secretary today said the government had, for the first time, use powers to prevent suspected terrorist freely returning to the uk. she said police and security services were working at full tilt in the manchester attack, and they are facing questions about who knew what and when. was salman abedi on a surveillance list?|j who knew what and when. was salman abedi on a surveillance list? i do not know those details because intelligence services after collecting information about him and those around him. i would not rush to conclusions. are you saying —— people had phoned the terror hotline. as they should do. and the reason that hotplate is

in place and the prevent strategy is because we recognise the scale of the problem. what with different parties do? the conservatives would introduce a counter extremism commission, so far short on detail, it will —— advise new laws. they say they have committed new funding to counterterrorism agencies and are recruiting more security officers. labour also promised more security and intelligence staff and tempers are more police officers as well as more prison and border agency personnel. labour are attacking the conservatives over cuts, saying they have with police under resourced. the tories are defending the record on crime. like so much in this election, they want to make this abbot character and leadership. the shadow home secretary was again asked about past comments similarly supportive of the ira. it was 3a years ago, i had a rather

splendid afro at the time, i do not have the same hairstyle and i do not have the same hairstyle and i do not have the same views. labour says the focus should be how to keep people safe from this, an attack that, rather than undermine a democratic system, has highlighted the choice people are facing, who is best to lead and whose best to protect? the labour leaderjeremy corbyn has ruled out going into coalition with the snp, after nicola sturgeon said her party would look to be part of a "progressive alliance" in the event of a hung parliament. mr corbyn was speaking before an event in glasgow. he also said labour is the only party that will protect public services. the truth is at this election people are facing a fundamental choice. 0nly are facing a fundamental choice. only two parties can win this election. it is between the labour party offering hope, transformation and renewal of our society, and a

promise to once again become a society of social justice and greater equality. applause. 0ra tory applause. or a tory party intent on managing the decline of our public services, a tory party that cut support and services to working people whilst cutting taxes for the very rich and the biggest businesses. we can either tax the big corporations and the top 5% a bit more all we can continue to pay the social price, the crisis in our nhs, stagnant wages, and a housing crisis. let's be clear, that is what the conservatives offer. five more years of the many paying the social price of the many paying the social price ofan of the many paying the social price of an economy run for the few. applause. the tories tried to hide it in their

frankly dishonest manifesto, but the truth is now out. i quote, britain would be subject to at least another five years of austerity. the figures in the conservative manifesto are actually cuts in spending and that means there is a risk to the quality of public services. not my words, thatis of public services. not my words, that is the damning verdict of the institute for fiscal studies. the leading think tank on spending. i am glad the truth is out at last. we can go live now to glasgow and hear more from our reporter. if we can hear him over the cheers. what hasjeremy can hear him over the cheers. what has jeremy corbyn can hear him over the cheers. what hasjeremy corbyn also been seeing

tonight? he hasjust finished speaking and he gave a pretty rousing speech here at the old foot market in central glasgow but he began ina market in central glasgow but he began in a more sombre mood and started by paying tribute to the victims of the terrorist attack in manchester on monday evening. he said the like that should bring us together. he also said the emergency services were excellent and he paid tribute to the ambulance, nurses and doctors who work tirelessly to help the victims of that attack. after that he moved on to the politics and said there are only two parties that can win this election, labour, which he called the party of social equality, or the tory party, which she accused of putting —— cutting support to all public services. he said the tories were offering five more yea rs said the tories were offering five more years of austerity and as you just heard he said the manifesto is dishonest. as per the snp, the

dominant party in scotland, that —— as for the snp, he said they had an obsession with independence and called it a tragedy they had not use the tax raising powers scotland as the tax raising powers scotland as the holyrood parliament to try to relieve the late back to relieve some of the poverty and inequality in scotland. he said too many children in scotland were in poverty and the snp should use those powers to ensure children across the country have the same life chances. he said directly to those in the past may have voted tory or snp, he said, look at the manifesto and compared it to record of the other two parties. john, thank you very much, at that labour rally in glasgow. more than 150 people are now known to have died in sri lanka in flooding and landslides caused by heavy monsoon rains. officials say aid is now reaching remote areas in the worst affected areas in the south and west of the island. 95 people are in hospital and more

than 100 are still missing. while many of us are enjoying the warm weather, in belarus the tractors are celebrating the arrival of summer with a dance display. this is the annual festival held by the minsk tractor works — which makes one in ten of all the tractors in the world. the tractors perform to traditional belarus music — including even swan lake. music as if by magic, the maypole arrives. let's ta ke as if by magic, the maypole arrives. let's take a look at the weather forecast. after a decent day for most things are changing already in the southern counties. things turning much wetter with the bit of thunder. at the

bring in muggy airfrom the new continent which moves ever for north into southern scotland by the end of the night. fresher to the north of that further south and other muggy night. we keep pushing that cloud and rain ever further north, night. we keep pushing that cloud and rain everfurther north, looking gloomy across the eastern shores and into the afternoon is still the chance of the odd rumble of thunder. quieter in wales and the south—west, brightening up in the afternoon and staying rather she bid was still the chance of thunder across east anglia and the south—east. 0n chance of thunder across east anglia and the south—east. on tuesday, high—pressure turning quite windy across the northern half of britain. hello.

this is bbc news. the headlines. a 25—year—old man is arrested as armed police stage a further raid as part of inquiries into the manchester arena bomb attack. the conservatives and labour promise more action to minimise the threat of terror attacks in the wake of the manchester bombing. british airways is still having to cancel and delay flights at heathrow. it follows yesterday's computer collapse which saw thousands of travellers stranded around the world. we've tried desperately to contact ba by email, by phone, on their website and also trying to find ground staff, and we haven't seen anybody on the ground at all.
