this is bbc news with martine croxall. we'll be taking a look at tomorrow mornings papers in a moment. first the headlines at 11:30. police investigating the suicide bombing in manchester on monday have made further arrest. 13 people are now in custody in connection with the attack. remembering the 22 victims of monday's bombing, the city came together for the great manchester run, to show it won't be defeated by terror. it's been an exceptionally difficult week for everybody, but greater manchester is saying this place will get through it and we will go forward together. vigils and services of remembrance have been taking place today in memory of people who lost their lives in the attack in manchester. thousands of british airways passengers have suffered a second day of delays caused by a massive it failure. japan has protested against north korea's latest launch of a missile, which appears to have landed in the sea ofjapan. hello and welcome to our look ahead to tomorrow's papers.
11:31 pm
with me arejohn rentoul, chief political commentator at the independent. he has told us that he's interested in politics, so i'm quite relieved. and ruth lea, economic adviser at arbuthnot banking group. and i hope she's interested in economics as well. so the front pages, starting with the financial times leads on the it chaos causing misery for ba customers and carries a photo of a rather happier looking german chancellor at a campaign event. the mail also leads with ba. it reports claims of computer system cost—cutting and what it calls a ‘moronic‘ cover—up. the election campaign is the telegraph's main story. it claimsjeremy corbyn attended an event ceremony in honour of a terrorist involved in the 1972 munich attack on israeli athletes. slide. the times reports that a key legal power designed to control

british jihadists has been used only once. the mirror has a full—page photo of some of the 40,000 people who took part in the great manchester run. the paper calls it a ‘defiant act of solidarity‘. and a terror warning is the top story for the express. it reports on fears that libya has become a breeding ground for is plots against britain. let's start with something a bit uplifting, the front page of the daily mirror. 40,000 runners taking to the streets in manchester. ruth, you know manchester better than any of us. this speaks of the spirit of the place. we still all know and think about the people who lost their lives and their families, but their lives and their families, but the people from the north west of england are without doubt the best people ever anywhere. they are the most intelligent, beautiful, they are the best comics, and they stick together. what got me about this was the way the communities came
11:33 pm
together as well. i was very touched when i saw the muslim cleric with this elderlyjewish when i saw the muslim cleric with this elderly jewish lady when i saw the muslim cleric with this elderlyjewish lady because you wa nt to this elderlyjewish lady because you want to see everybody together. you don't want to see particular groups together, you want to see the whole city which is as diverse and energetic as any in the country. to hold an event like that so soon after something which could have made so afraid to go out is quite uplifting. i think the spirit manchester has shown in the past week has been really impressive and i'm not from manchester, but i'm really proud of them. i love manchester. it's a great place to go to party conferences in. politics again, you see. europe assessed. it great? see everybody - and was great to see everybody out and congratulations to get the race under way and i'm sure they had great fun under way and i'm sure they had greatfun —— under way and i'm sure they had great fun —— you are obsessed. ten days to diss —— decide the prime minister. the conservatives are relaunching their campaign
11:34 pm
l—ma l—m the polls are not going quite so well, but also nicola sturgeon suggesting that she would join forces in a progressive alliance with labour. that's right. that is what has happened new to night. you we re what has happened new to night. you were it earlier, but fair? pi seem fiere fe eem sturgeon eere fe eem sturgeon saying she would eefe fe eem sturgeon saying she would be nicola sturgeon saying she would be pa rt of nicola sturgeon saying she would be part of the progressive alliance, but also said she did not think jeremy corbyn was suited to be prime minister. she is trying to have it both ways. the thing about nicola sturgeon is that you secretly know she wants theresa may to win, like she wants theresa may to win, like she wanted david cameron to win before because she knows the tory prime minister in london means votes for the snp prime minister in london means votes forthe snp in prime minister in london means votes for the snp in scotland. but she also has to pretend to be part of the progressive alliance against the tories. this relaunch of the campaign will be very interesting.” think it will. they will go hard aboutjeremy think it will. they will go hard about jeremy corbyn himself think it will. they will go hard aboutjeremy corbyn himself as being wea k aboutjeremy corbyn himself as being weak on terrorism not least because
11:35 pm
of his association with the ira, allegedly and he said he was not sympathetic with any terrorists. and voted in the last ten years so legislation in the last ten years so his record on terrorism is very poor so his record on terrorism is very poor soi his record on terrorism is very poor so i think they will go over that. it might sound like opportunism but this is an election campaign after all but even though there has been a slide in the tory vote it still looks as though they are reasonably on track to have a fair overall majority, perhaps not we thought a fortnight ago but still an overall majority. one poll the other day had a 5—point lead. majority. one poll the other day had a 5-point lead. that is very close but then there was not a poll today in the sunday times which was seven points. that's not suggesting necessarily that the polls are shifting. we will have to see what happens this week and whether the narrowing continues or whether it
11:36 pm
starts to widen again. the other thing to say about nicola sturgeon is that she _— eeeeeeee in the _— 3; she g in the _— 3; she tried n the _— 3; she tried to he _— 1; she tried to snuggle up to alliance. she tried to snuggle up to ed miliband and ed miliband had to try and defend her. it is a complete disaster for the labour leader to be associated with the idea of a coalition of chaos. the stories could do well in scotland and pick up could do well in scotland and pick up another five or six seats. they could do better than in a long time. lots of people have been complaining to me, not you, but to me. the independent. labours are the most trusted to defend pensioners. social ca re trusted to defend pensioners. social care fiasco. we must start with you, john. what it found?” care fiasco. we must start with you, john. what it found? i think it's significant that the social care question has not gone away. it was
11:37 pm
the big question after the conservatives publish the manifesto, the withdrawal of free home visits. and they are expected to use the value of their home to help pay for it and that has gone down extremely badly with a lot of pensioners and 1, because l..." , becausethe it is significant because the conservative vote depends on older people who tend to turn out a lot more than younger people and if they are ' we: likitslzllll“. 5 and if they are unsettled by this that might not happen this time. and if they are unsettled by this that might not happen this timem really put the cat among the pigeons, the so—called - tax. did seem ”5 when 7— ~ did seem ”5 when them 7— ~ it did seem like when them manifesto came out it was anti—pensions, and it wasn't about the extra expenditure on home care, if you are at home, although there was a limit of 100,000. there was no cap, that was the main thing and then there was the main thing and then there was the main thing and then there was the u—turn last monday. it
11:38 pm
wasn't just the social care was the u—turn last monday. it wasn'tjust the social care thing, it was the means testing overwinter fuel allowances. and the end of the triple lock. in themselves, perhaps they don't seem that important, but taken together it seemed like a concerted attack on a splendid group of people which are the backbone of this seem? they of people which are the backbone of this gsgntflg they have 2 their ihisgm they have paid their stamp. thisgm they have paid their stamp. i have been paying all my life. i come from the north of england and i had to pay, it'sjust not good enough. it's onlyjust under the surface, isn't it. life is hard. hopefully your fee for coming here will help a little. enough cat food. the daily telegraph, well, the q w 77777? q ww wwwww tee: i have ever seen. f q ww wwwww tee: i have ever seen. half f term misery as ba disruption to continue for days there is a picture ofa continue for days there is a picture of a poor woman who is asleep on her luggage waiting for a flight which may or may not have arrived yet. the

biggest it failure in aviation history one of the other papers reports. it seems as though it will be an expensive one for ba, because the daily telegraph is saying that the daily telegraph is saying that the compensation payments may be 50 million and there will be the costs of goodwill and lost business of another 50 million but the suggestion is that one of the reasons we had this disaster was a move to cost—cutting and they had outsourced a lot of the it services to india, that kind of consultancy or whatever it was, and if that's the case, my goodness, has it rebounded. a false economy indeed. and it does seem to be not a lack of communication, a pr disaster of the world's kind. —— the worst kind. communication, a pr disaster of the world's kind. —— the worst kindm seem most of the information from the media. we did our bit, came from the media. we did our bit! very few members of staff
11:40 pm
john. very few members of staff either seem to have information or be in evidence at gatwick or heathrow. that's right. it looks as though bae were taken surprise by this. they didn't seem to have a contingency plan may need one for when things like that go wrong, just so when things like that go wrong, just so they have got people out there telling the customer is what is going on. any day of the week for this to happen would have been difficult, but over a bank holiday weekend where so many people are trying to get away and the ramifications are worldwide because all the planes will not be in the right place. including andrew neil, apparently. he could have got on a train, it's not like getting back india. he could have thumbed from india. he could have thumbed left. i wonder who would have given him a lift. jeremy corbyn? nicola sturgeon, maybe. ithinkjohn is right, no contingency plans. no free food, “is drinks.
11:41 pm
right, no contingency plans. no free food, ”a? drinks. some people right, no contingency plans. no free food lucky? drinks. some people right, no contingency plans. no free food lucky if! drinks. some people right, no contingency plans. no free food lucky if they 'inks. some people right, no contingency plans. no free food lucky if they got 1. some people right, no contingency plans. no free food lucky if they got a some people right, no contingency plans. no free food lucky if they got a bottle people right, no contingency plans. no free food lucky if they got a bottle of ople were lucky if they got a bottle of water. look after these people for goodness' sake. they were ignored —— neglected and ignored. it's extraordinary. this is a consumer driven industry, so we here. let's look at the ft. angela merkel sipping a large glass of beer in munich. cold comfort, it says. europeans on their own as us tensions grow. she is saying in this campaign rally that she was at that really we cannot rely on the us and the uk and we have two snuggle up to france a bit more. she is being a bit anti—american. she has an election coming up and the german voter does not like donald trump. she is obviously telling them what they want to hear. it will be interesting to see if she carries on with this kind of anti—american rhetoric after being re—elected as
11:42 pm
chancellor, if that is what happens. do you remember when she offered to shake hands with donald trump and he did not do it? no, he didn't. very pointed. where is macron would not let go. there is a whole book to be written about donald trump and his handshakes. i think essentially it's a bit ofa handshakes. i think essentially it's a bit of a cheek. if i may. permission granted. when it comes to security, germany does not pull its weight. when it comes to defence spending, it's less than 1% of gdp and donald trump does have germany in his sights when he was accusing various countries of not fulfilling their commitments for nato. the other thing i would say is, that when it comes to the uk, theresa may went out of her way when she was invoking article 50 to say that she wa nted invoking article 50 to say that she wanted a good security relationship with the european union and i think she meant it. she had said as home
11:43 pm
secretary that she thought it was an important part of the security plan to be in the eu. well, that might be a u—turn. to be in the eu. well, that might be a u-turn. i thought i would pointed out. angela merkel is engaged in posturing the negotiations as well. from a trade point of view, britain is pretty important to germany. from a trade point of view, britain is pretty important to germanylj is pretty important to germany.” think we are first or second as the largest market for goods. we have a trade deficit of £30 billion in goods with germany, the equivalent of about 1% of german gdp and i think there would be a lot of german exporters of audi cars and bmws who really wa nt exporters of audi cars and bmws who really want to continue to trade with us. i think they will. but this is right from john, posturing ahead of the federal elections before the 24th of september and also the brexit negotiations will be starting injune and i suspect that brexit negotiations will be starting in june and i suspect that the brexit negotiations will be starting injune and i suspect that the eu is ramping up the rhetoric, so to
11:44 pm
speak, before those negotiations start. the great unanswered question is, did she finished that beer? we suspect not. there was quite a lot of it. a whole litre. that's it for the papers, john andrews, always a treat to see you. have a very good bank holiday monday —— john and ruth. coming up next, the film review. hello and welcome to the film review on bbc news. to take us through this week's cinema releases is mark kermode. so mark, what do we have this week? as i'm sure you must have noticed, there is a new pirates of the caribbean movie coming into cinemas. why? laughter. baywatch goes from small
