evening. like so many others, they are trying to move on into remembering, not forgetting. that leaves manchester city is still in need of both support and reassurance. chris buckler, bbc news, manchester. police investigating the manchester arena attack have arrested another man on suspicion of terrorism offences and have carried out searches in the moss side area of the city. 13 in the moss side area of the city. people are now b questioning. this questioning. massive police operation continued this massive police operation continued at a frantic pace today. 1000 officers and police staff were involved. the arrests continued. and man pulled from his car in the middle of the street in trafford. a raid ona middle of the street in trafford. a raid on a house in the moss side area. heavily armed police arrested three men, at one point bringing a
10:05 pm
police dog. roads were closed. later, police and most all those arrested had been released, despite the daughter of one of them being blown from the hinges with explosives. the family insisted we had nothing to do with the bombing. in this area in particular, the police operation is causing enormous and rest. we don't want anything like this in our community, it is so ridiculous. i am annoyed. it is not a nice feeling at all. people here worry there will be a backlash. in fa ct, worry there will be a backlash. in fact, this operation has touched many communities in the city. the explosions and guns or unnerving but life does go on. 12 remain in custody and more arrests are expected. chris buckler is a manchester. what are the police saying about the state of the investigation? women a dozen people being questioned and a dozen locations being searched, they
10:06 pm
continue to appeal for information and ask people for help in identifying cctv footage and giving them more information about the bomber. beyond that, they have released an unusual statement tonight, thanking people for their kindness and support. that goes for the way they have been treating strangers as well as the way they have been treating the emergency services. a real sense of solidarity. indeed, there were scenes of solidarity and togetherness we saw earlier at the great manchester run, they were extraordinary. yes and you get a real sense that although this has been an emotional day from manchester, it is notjust tears, there has been laughter and cheers, this city is determined to show its resilience and you will find that no more so resilience and you will find that no more so than here at saint and square. behind me, the number of balloons and flowers and messages of solidarity continue to grow. and while the city gets back to normal and the hustle and bustle continues in the streets around europe, this
10:07 pm
place remains quiet and calm. it is a place to remember and if one thing is clear today, it is that the people of manchester are determined to remember. many thanks for that. chris buckler in manchester. both the conservatives and labour have been focusing on national security today in the election campaign. the home secretary, amber rudd, reaffirmed that the conservatives would set up a commission to promote british values and tackle extremism, while labour wants to recruit 1000 security experts in addition to 10,000 extra police. security experts in addition here's our political correspondent, alex forsyth. in the aftermath of such an atrocity, inevitable questions about how to stop something like this happening again. the actions of this man, salman abedi, forced a pause in the election campaign. salman abedi, forced a pause now preventing others like him is part of the debate. the home secretary said today the government had for the first time used powers to prevent suspected terrorists returning freely to the uk.
10:08 pm
suspected terrorists 0n the manchester attack, she said police and security services were working at full tilt. she said police and security with questions about who knew what and when, she was asked about reports that friends and community leaders had raised concerns about the man behind it. and community leaders had raised was salman abedi on a surveillance list? i don't know those details that you have set out to me because the intelligence services are still collecting information about him and the people around him. are still collecting information but i wouldn't rush to conclusions, as you seem to be, that they somehow have missed something. as you seem to be, that they somehow people had phoned the terror hotline, as they are told to do. as they should do. and the reason we have put in place the terror hotline, the reason we have put in place the prevent strategy is because we recognise the scale of the problem. so what would different parties do to tackle the problem? well, the conservatives would introduce a counter—extremism commission. would introduce so far short on detail, it would advise new laws and policies. yhey say they have committed extra funding for counterterrorism
10:09 pm
agencies and recruiting more security officers. labour, too, has promised more security and intelligence staff and 10,000 more police officers as well as more prison and border agency personnel. as well as more prison in the battle for power here, labour are attacking the conservatives over cuts, saying they have left police under—resourced. saying they have left the tories are defending their record on crime. but like so much in this election, want to make this about character and leadership. election, want to make this the shadow home secretary was asked again today about past comments she had made, seemingly supportive of the ira. it was 3a years ago, i had a rather splendid afro at the time. i don't have the same hairstyle and i don't have the same views. labour says the focus now should be how to keep people safe from this, an attack which, rather than undermine the democratic system, has highlighted the choice the country is facing. system, has highlighted the choice who is best to lead, who is best to protect?
10:10 pm
alex forsyth, bbc news, westminster. who is best to protect? thousands who is best to protect? of british airways passengers thousands of british airways passengers have faced a second day of disruption following a global it failure. flights at gatwick are getting back to normal but a third of services from heathrow from ba we re of services from heathrow from ba were cancelled because of the knock—on effects around the world of the disruption yesterday. passengers in rome have been told it would not be able to fly back to the uk until tuesday. joe lynam is at heathrow. good evening. a day after queueing and cancellations and questionable customer care. hundreds of ba passengers still at the terminal trying to catch delayed flights, thousands have had the holidays curtailed or ruined. the airline says things are getting back to normal but for many people, today did not feel like normal. for some ba customers, it had been a long, uncomfortable night. it had been a long,
10:11 pm
bleary passengers this morning, still hoping to catch their plane. even free bottles of water in a heavily congested terminal 5 failed in a heavily to cool some people's mood. it's just a lot of moving around, standing in lines and lack of information. around, standing in lines i think it's too big that they don't know what to do with it. we've been in the line for about five hours, we have no idea how much longer we'll be here and we're getting no communication from the staff. here and we're getting no sarah booth and herfamily should be on holiday in budapest. instead she is stuck having lunch at a pub near heathrow. she was told by ba to come to the airport, only to find the flight was cancelled. to the airport, only to find we only travelled based on the fact our fight was still running and we had been told by ba to make sure all flights were running, before we left home and we did that. you've come from? before we left home and we did that. malvern in worcestershire and my sister and herfamily have come from folkestone in kent. and my sister and herfamily have ba passengers in rome have been told it might be tuesday before they get home. told it might be tuesday some travelled here by train
10:12 pm
from naples, after spending hours on a plane there yesterday that never took off. we've been booked on a flight from here to barcelona, and barcelona to london, but our 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. 0therwise we've got to wait two days. as thousands of people waited in a packed heathrow, dozens of flights were cancelled and many more will not depart as the airline struggled to reset its global network after a major powerfailure. to reset its global network after a that, for some aviation insiders, is inexcusable. what seems remarkable is that there was no back—up system kicking in within minutes of the whole system failing. kicking in within minutes there wasn't even a third back—up. kicking in within minutes businesses of this size need systems backed up all the time. that's what passengers expect and rely on. but confusion still abounds. expect and rely on. some passengers have been told their flight is cancelled
10:13 pm
online and then get the exact opposite message when they call the airline to confirm. opposite message when they call this problem looks set to persist for far more than just a few hours. still for far more than just a few hours. lots of problem confusion, still lots of problems and confusion, is ba giving clear advice to passengers tonight? we have asked for interviews with ba to clarify what has gone on and they have not put anyone up. the chief executive did post a video message today and yesterday in which he apologised to customers once again for the chaos and said his team are pulling out all of the stops to get things back to normal. we urge passengers not to come to the airport unless they have a confirmed booking for their flight, a confirmed booking for their flight, not to come to the airport any earlier than 90 minutes before take—off and any earlier than 90 minutes before ta ke—off and always any earlier than 90 minutes before take—off and always check they manage my booking part of the website. but this will have a

major... major issues for ba going forward , major... major issues for ba going forward, not just financial cost major... major issues for ba going forward, notjust financial cost of compensation but the reputational damage, people said they would never fly with ba again so they will have to work hard to put this back on an even keel going forward. thank you, joe lynam at heathrow. a man's been shot dead in a supermarket car park in county down. in a supermarket car the victim, who was 55, was hit several times as he got out of his car at sainsbury‘s in bangor. was hit several times as he got out hundreds of shoppers were in the area. northern ireland police have launched a murder inquiry. six men who accused the late lord janner of sexually abusing them as children have abandoned their civil case. he was charged with 22 sexual offences dating back to the 1960s, but the 87—year—old was found unfit to stand trialjust days before he died in 2015. to stand trialjust days his accusers had been seeking damages from his estate. the labour leader, jeremy corbyn, has refused any possibility
10:15 pm
of an alliance with the scottish national party, if there's a hung parliament on june 8th. national party, if there's a hung the leader of the snp, nicola sturgeon, had said in an interview today that she would consider what she called a progressive alliance with mr corbyn, despite having reservations about his leadership and policies. he's been campaigning in glasgow tonight from where our scotland editor sarah smith reports. tonight from where our jeremy tonight from where our corbyn is clearly enthused opinion jeremy corbyn is clearly enthused by opinion polls suggesting increasing support for labour. as he promises higher public spending, he says the tories are trying to hide cuts in a dishonest manifesto. that means there is a risk to the quality of public services. not my words, that isa damning public services. not my words, that is a damning verdict of the institute for fiscal studies. but the iff has also taken aim at labour's manifesto. the institute of
10:16 pm
this custom is has said your tax plans will not raise as much money as you think. if that was the case, would you choose to raise taxes or cut public spending? what they have said is it is a gap between what we have said we would raise and what they believe could be raised from existing taxes. what they have not taken into consideration is the effectiveness of transaction taxes, which we want to bring in, and offshore property taxes that we want to bring in. we believe they will raise money necessary. the city of glasgow always used to be known as an absolutely rock—solid labour heartland. what has happened to the party here is a good illustration of what has happened across scotland. until recently, every glasgow mp was labour. in the 2015 election they lost every seat in the city to the snp. now, but even their most optimistic campaigners believe they are likely to win any of them back in the selection. labour are
10:17 pm
fighting to keep the single mp they have in scotland, and maybe add a couple more to add him company. at a vintage year in the east end of glasgow, i spoke to voters who switched between labour and the snp in the past. i really like jeremy corbyn's manifesto and his attitude and his beliefs in what he stands for. good neighbour tempt you back? not withjeremy for. good neighbour tempt you back? not with jeremy corbyn. the mori listen to jeremy corbyn, the mori believe he speaks from the heart. you would vote for him? yes. tonight, the snp leader said she would consider a coalition with labour. if there was a hung parliament, of course we would look to be part of the progressive alliance that pursued policies but let us get back to the reality of this election. the reality of the selection, even with narrowing polls, is we will face a tory government perhaps with a bigger majority so my priority is to say to people in scotland, if you want our interests protected and our voice
10:18 pm
heard, you must vote snp. jeremy corbyn says no coalitions and no pacts with anyone. he insists he believes he can win this election outright. sarah smith, bbc news, glasgow. back to the election now and there's one thing all the parties seem to agree on — that the uk housing market is in crisis. that the uk housing some believe it's actually broken, with the supply of homes failing to keep up with demand. with the supply of homes failing all the major parties are pledging to help both renters and buyers. as part of our reality check series on the key issues in the run—up to the election, steph mcgovern investigates the state of housing. steph mcgovern investigates having a place to call home is a dream for a lot of people but does it matter if you own it or not? home ownership is now at its lowest level since 1985, whereas private renting is at its highest since the 1980s. that is partly because it is much harder now to save for a deposit. so if you look back at the ‘90s, it would take an average household three years if they were saving 5% of their income every year
10:19 pm
to get a deposit together. of their income every year now it would take 20 years. of their income every year let's get some thoughts on this with my cleverly placed mic... we have mark and steph here. with my cleverly placed mic... mark, i am pleased to say you have just bought your first home, congratulations. just bought your first was it hard getting the money together? it did take a number of years to save up for the deposit for the house. of years to save up and i've been very fortunate that i have my parents and my partner's parents to chip in for the deposit as well. without that, we wouldn't have been able to get a home. yes, the bank of mum and dad makes a big difference, doesn't it? steph, for you, you are renting at the moment, can you see a day when you can buy a home, is that what you want to do? yeah, i'd like to buy eventually but i think at the same time as renting it is quite difficult to save for a deposit. so it's going to take a while. to save for a deposit. when do you reckon you will be able to buy? at least maybe ten years. will be able to buy? so although renting can provide flexibility for people like steph, things can be tough for generation rent. over the last six years, rents have been going up
10:20 pm
much faster than wages. rents have been going up now the gap between the two has grown to 15%, which means keeping up with rising rents can be really tough. david, you are a housing provider, there are people out there who don't necessarily want to own their own home. there are people who want to rent, for every home we let there is 120 people or 150 people who want to rent it, so there are loads of people who want to rent. but also, its not all we offer. people who want to rent. we offer people opportunities to buy and we have this new scheme called rent to buy so you can rent to begin with and then you can buy it after five years and you pay less than the market rent at the beginning. than the market rent there are options out there. than the market rent david, thank you very much. than the market rent if you take the uk's low—paid workforce, perhaps people injobs like hairdressing, security, factory workers, then according to research by shelter, 15 hours of their working week is spent solely to pay their rent. 15 hours of their working week so that's three hours of every day slogging itjust to keep a roof over their heads. slogging itjust to keep
10:21 pm
and kate, this is all about affordability, isn't it? absolutely, people's rents arejust completely out of step with their wages now. completely out of step and people are really struggling to keep up with that kind of rent. we have also found that people have to borrow, getting into debt, putting loans on credit cards just to pay the rent. they can't afford to save, which means, of course, they have very little hope of putting a deposit aside and buying a place of their own. of putting a deposit aside there's just generally a really big problem between what people are ending and how much they have to pay on rent. and it puts a lot of pressure on them. kate, thank you very much. of pressure on them. there of pressure on them. is also quite a generational difference there is also quite a generational difference so half of 211—35 google's rent privately, almost double compared to what it was ten years ago. with buying down and renting up, owning a home is less of a realistic aspiration for many. instead, it looks like we could be moving to more of the german model of living, when renting is seen as
