mi5 says it will investigate its handling of information from the public about the manchester bomber, salman abedi. but as raids continue, the home secretary says the focus should remain on arresting abedi's known associates. i think it's too early to try and look for where the mistakes, if they were made, might have been made. the important thing is that we conclude the operation now. meanwhile, nick clegg and the liberal democrats warn national security could be at risk if theresa may negotiates a hard brexit deal. as british airways continues to deal with the disruption caused by computerfailings, the chief executive says sorry. we will make a full investigation, exhaustive. we will find out exactly what happened and we will make sure that this will never happen again. and tributes to the blue peter presenterjohn noakes, who's died at the age of 83. good afternoon and welcome

to the bbc news at one. the intelligence service mi5 is to review the way it deals with information from the public, in the light of the manchester suicide bombing. it will look in particular at its response to several warnings that the man who carried out the attack, salman abedi, was a threat. meanwhile, the investigation into abedi has led to police searching properties in manchester, chester and west sussex. here's our home affairs correspondent, june kelly. who was salman abedi connected with? the connection to this massive counterterrorism investigation. overnight, the focus switched to the english south coast, more than 250 miles from manchester. in the

seaside town of st ann's square in sussex, officers moved in on unaddressed and arrested a man of 23 whojoins unaddressed and arrested a man of 23 who joins i3 unaddressed and arrested a man of 23 who joins 13 others already in custody. i watch past ten, hello, how are you doing? salman abedi was caught on cctv as he prepared to kill himself and to commit mass murder. it has emerged five years ago, concerns began to be raised with the authorities about his extremist views. and so since the bombing, there has been criticism of the security service mi5. it has launched two enquiries into the way it examined and assessed abedi he was not considered an immediate threat. the home secretary has refused to be drawn on possible missed opportunities. remember, this is still a live operation, we are still seeing arrests being made. it is right mi5 can look back and find out what has happened in the past but at the moment, i'm going to focus on making sure that we get the

operation included and successfully serve. but after the atrocity at the manchester arena, showed an intelligence agency investigating itself? i think at this stage, it is appropriate it is internal. the information is so sensitive and there needs to be speed and most importantly, i need to identify if there are threats to the uk. in time, the intelligence and security committee in parliament would be an appropriate body to review what they come up with. in the north of england, at the heart of the police enquiry, made such new locations. this was whalley range in manchester. i think they are libyan but i do not know much about them. they collect our parcels and we collect their parcels and they are a nice family. so it is shocking to see all of this activity and certainly the police here. a search 30 miles from here in the city of chester. seven days on from the

bombing, the pace of this investigation is unrelenting and what detectives are discovering is taking them well beyond salman abedi's home city. well, june kelly is in st ann's square, in manchester, for us now. june, we're only a week into this investigation but, already, we've got mi5 admitting today there maybe lessons to be learned? yes, mi5 has faced questions over that has seven days as to why there was not a red flag over salman abedi. it has emerged he was a person of interest as he is turned in intelligence circles. he was on a list of 20,000 people who had been of interest in the past and he was not on a list of 3,000 considered to pose a terrorist threat. this is very reminiscent of the 7/7 bombings because mi5 were criticised over intelligence failings relating to two of the bombers in that case. what is striking is the scope and

the pace of the police investigation. a number of raids this morning and more arrests. and at the heart of this is a mass murder enquiry. and this was brought home herejust a couple of murder enquiry. and this was brought home here just a couple of minutes ago because we had the family of one of salman abedi's victims, one of the 20 people he killed, they came here to look at the flowers. thank you very much, from central manchester. with events in manchester focusing minds on national security, the liberal democrats have this morning accused the conservatives of potentially weakening our ability to tackle terrorism because of their approach to the brexit negotiations. the former deputy prime minister, nick clegg, says britain could be excluded from accessing a vital eu—wide criminal data base if theresa may insists on leaving the jurisdiction of the european court ofjustice. here's our political correspondent, eleanor garnier. terrorists have attacked across europe. countries like france, belgium

and sweden, as well as the uk, have all been targeted in recent years. as britain prepares for brexit, the lib dems are warning we could end up cut off from important security information. they claim the conservatives have some explaining to do. i think it's important before the election they're actually forced to answer specific questions. how do you keep people safe? how do you continue to have access to these databases if, at the same time, you don't want to abide by the rules by which those databases operate? the schengen information system is a database of real—time alerts. it contains information on thousands of people, including suspected criminals wanted under the european arrest warrant. and it's used by countries across the eu, plus a handful of others with special access. the eu's leaders and the prime minister have said continued cooperation on security is a priority in the brexit talks.

today, the conservatives insisted it's in the eu's interest to get a good deal agreed. when we leave the european union, we will need to have a new form of agreement to make sure that we have access to those information databases and that the information databases which will be part of the eu have access to the information that we can feed into them as well. in the wake of the attack in manchester, security and counterterrorism are likely to stay high on the campaign agenda. the challenge for whoever wins — keeping the public safe at home and abroad. well, eleanor garnier‘s here now. is brexit really a threat to national security? i think those who regret the referendum result and to campaign to stay in the european union are making this argument to highlight how they believe britain's relationship with the eu is really important. the prime minister has

insisted security cooperation will be an important priority in the negotiations and i think she sees oui’ negotiations and i think she sees our police and security intelligence asa trump our police and security intelligence as a trump card in the negotiations. remember when she triggered the eu divorce talks a couple of months ago, she gave a warning saying that if the negotiations ended in failure without a deal, our cooperation on fighting crime and terrorism would be weakened. i think one thing everybody can agree on is that nobody wants to see any aspect of european security reduced or in any way wea ke ns european security reduced or in any way weakens but it will be up to whoever wins the general election for them to make a deal in most ago stations. in the wider campaign, a tv debate involving the two main party leaders later, what is their main focus is likely to be? it will not be a head—to—head, they will face questions from an audience and they will be grilled byjeremy paxman. theresa may is likely to face questions over accusations she made a u—turn on social care and

perhaps questions over her decision to claw back some of the free school meals. jeremy corbyn, a lot of attention recently on his relationships with some ira sympathisers and questions also on his leadership credentials. for both of them, it is important not to mess up of them, it is important not to mess up and any hint of a wobble or a wrong foot and it will be seized. thank you very much indeed. british airways says its flights are gradually returning to normal, 48 hours after the worldwide crash of the airline's computer system led to major disruption. ba officials said the airline was resuming a full schedule of services from gatwick, but a heathrow airport spokeswoman said ba flights from the airport continued to face some disruption. our business correspondent, joe lynam, reports. it is day three of the ba crisis. the queues no longer stretch outside the door and flights are taking off, but that doesn't mean the disruption is over, nor all the questions gone. it's just ridiculous. i know they are trying to accommodate us, but we had to call and book our own re—bookings.

even though i already had a confirmed seat, i had to re—book my own seat, so it's pretty stressful. they could have done so much better. i work in it and they are blaming this on it problems. it's basic enterprise practice to have a disaster recovery solution. they should have had their communication system and their booking system in different places so they could at least send us an e—mail. just open a google mail account and send an e—mail. how hard is that? ba says its services from gatwick are back to normal, as are all long—haul flights from heathrow, but they concede that some disruption to short—haul flights, usually to continental europe, will continue today. the airline has faced mounting pressure to answer questions as to why this all happened. today, it gave its first interview. we are profusely, profusely apologetic about what has happened. we are very conscious of the hardship that many of our customers have had to go through.

on saturday morning, we did have a power surge in one of our data centres which affected the network and hardware which stopped messaging millions and millions of messages that come between all the different systems and applications within the ba network and affected all the operational systems — baggage, operations, passenger processing, etc. that is what provided the actual disruptions. mr cruz said he would not be resigning and would find out why the back—up systems had failed. the gmb union has blamed the outsourcing last year of it contracts to the indian company tata for the chaos on saturday — an accusation which mr cruz has vehemently denied. but ba will certainly have further questions to answer when the detail emerges of exactly what happened and whether corners were cut. north korea has carried out the

night missile test this year prompting protest from japan after it landed in their waters. launched from north korea's eastern coast, it travelled before crashing into the sea near the japanese mainland. china has also condemned the test. more than 200 drivers a day have been caught using their mobile phones in the month after the law was tightened. police across britain caught almost 6,000 motorists in march, but the figure could be higher because seven forces didn't respond to freedom of information requests. drivers now pay six points on a licence and a £200 fine, double the previous penalty. the former blue peter presenterjohn noakes, who hosted the show in the 1960s and ‘70s, has died at the age of 83. he was the bbc children's show‘s longest—serving presenter, appearing for more than 12 years. david sillito looks back at his life. i'm upside down at 30,000 feet.

i'm upside down! 0h! i'm sure it does me good! how's that, then? blue peter has had many presenters, butjohn noakes was special — the cheery, funny daredevil from halifax. at this level, the plinth on which nelson stands overhangs the column. i found myself literally hanging from the ladder with nothing at all beneath me. in an age with a rather relaxed attitude to health and safety, the words, "and then it was my turn..." led to some startling moments. take the moment he crashed out of a bobsleigh on the cresta run. i carried on down the track on my backside, still doing around 80 miles an hour. he had grown up near halifax, joined the raf, then trained as an actor before landing the job of presenting blue peter. the yorkshire accent and the willingness to do anything for a laugh at a time

when children's television was rather more formal. quick, have a sniff! he also had his own programme, go with noakes, where he sampled all the pleasures of life out and about in britain. he tired of television and set off on a yacht with his wife, settling in majorca after a shipwreck. his memories of blue peter were not entirely fond. he felt he had been badly paid, under—insured and overworked. i've been doing two years of go with noakes while i was still doing blue peter. i was doing a iii—month year. you might wonder what i'm doing up here. i'm beginning to wonder myself! occasionally, he returned to tv screens, once to answer a question, "whatever happened tojohn noakes and shep?" i have some very sad news. he died on saturday.

i haven't got over it. no, shep, don't bite him! in truth, thejohn noakes we all knew was, in many ways, an act he was happy to say goodbye to, but that good—humoured daredevil did give us some memorable tv moments. you can feel the speed! the former blue peter presenterjohn noakes, who has died at the age of 83. let's return to the election now, and as we were hearing earlier, the conservatives are keen to get back to campaigning on brexit, while labour are looking to capitalise on a positive response to their manifesto. among a number of key battleground areas will be wolverhampton, in the west midlands. it contains three constituencies — all of which were labour at the 2015 election — in part due to strong support from the city's ethnic communities. but there was a vote in favour of leaving the eu at the referendum. so our midlands political editor,

patrick burns, has been looking at how those communities might vote now. wolverhampton has a particularly diverse mix of ethnic minorities, the asian community is by far the biggest. one clear majority though, the 63% for leave in the referendum. harry, good to see you. to find out how the core labour vote is faring in all of this, i have come to the local sikh temple. do you talk to friends and family around here about how they are going to vote in the election? what do they say about maybe having a change of heart? my other half is changing his heart, he would like to vote conservative now. i have voted labour all my life, but i decided to vote conservative this time. theresa may, i think they will win again. they have done, and they have shown people

like they have done something. my mind leads me to the conservatives. i voted for a conservative mayor, i voted conservative because of their policies for brexit. i think what we may be seeing here is a fragmentation of the labour vote, so striking there in the asian community, where the conservatives have been trying to win support for decades. well now, maybe, brexit could be the game changer. in search of a wider reflection of opinion, i move on to see whether other ethnic communities are facing a similar choice. the reason why we are having this election, we are told, is because of brexit. is that what it really is all about for you? i haven't really brought brexit into it, i have thought about what these parties can do for people like me, i think that would be the best way for me to vote. which way do you think you're going to vote when the time comes? i'm going to vote for labour. i have voted labour all my life, but i'm not quite sure howl

am voting this time. if i am not voting labour, i won't vote conservative anyway. people were socially frustrated and used europe as a scapegoat and the labour party, for me, is going to be far more beneficial for the majority of the people than what i have heard than from the tories. the city's main tram stop is myjourney‘s end as well, evening commuters are heading home from work. hello, welcome to wolverhampton. why do you think so many people in wolverhampton voted to leave the european union last year? i just think they want rights for british people back. how does this lead to people voting between the different parties? for me, personally, conservative. because? i think they are the party to take us to the brexit we voted for. i've spent most of my day in the constituency once represented by enoch powell and yet nobody i've met so much

as mentioned his name. maybe our politics has finally moved on from all that. patrick burns, bbc news, wolverhampton. that's all from the bbc news at one, so it's goodbye from me. and on bbc one, we nowjoin the bbc‘s news teams where you are. hello. this is bbc news. the intelligence service mi5 is to review the way it deals with information from the public in the light of the manchester suicide bombing. it will look in particular at its response to warnings that the man who carried out the attack, salman abedi, was a threat. police are searching properties in chester and greater manchester and have arrested a man in west sussex. earlier, john gearson, a professor of national security studies, joined my colleague lukwesa burak to explain what he thought had happened. i think at the moment we can't say anything went wrong but clearly this individual was not 500 active cases, possibly

involving 3,000 people, most extraordinary figure given in the last two days of up to 20,000 people who are in the past or in the present might be of interest. these are beyond the capabilities of any normal internal security organisation. so how would he have slipped through the net, then? what criteria didn't he need for him to be on their active watchlist? obviously, this material is not something that is discussed in a public domain, but i think it would be in connection to active plots, possibly connections to people who the authorities know are planning to do something in the uk. there is a priority given to plots that threatened the uk raptor than overseas. press reports suggested that he may have gone to libya in his school holidays even to carry out some sort of training or do

things in libya. that wouldn't of have been of as great an interest as being part of a network that might being part of a network that might be planning to do something in the uk. but they do think the indicators we have got at least warrant another look, albeit that these warnings have come across a number of years. there have not been consistent warnings come in one month after another, we are talking about several years between these alerts. mis several years between these alerts. mi5 says that this more in—depth investigation is looking at their processes . investigation is looking at their processes. but you're saying is that it sounds like it is the sheer volume they are unable to cope with. what is the process when somebody is flagged up? in the case worker, if an intelligence officer, is assigned to an individual, it might usually bea number of to an individual, it might usually be a number of individuals, but let's say an individual is flagged up. that intelligence officer will go to up. that intelligence officer will gotoa up. that intelligence officer will go to a superior and say this is what i know about this individual, i would like the resources to do

something, they might even ask for a warrant to carry out surveillance. judgments are made on a daily basis in many cases about whether or not resources should be devoted to those particular targets. we have to emphasise that this is also about not alienating a whole community. if you start to carry out surveillance on 20,000 people, which we couldn't do, but let's say we watched 4,000 people on an ongoing basis, it would bea people on an ongoing basis, it would be a reasonable response by people saying this is completely beyond the necessary needs for security when you are talking about a handful of attacks occurring over a 15 year period. that alan spitzer pressure on the security services to provide security, but not to carry out surveillance just because they can. your specialism is national security studies. when you look at this incident and what mi5 are now conducting, the second investigation, it isn't all that

processes . investigation, it isn't all that processes. where would you point them in the direction that there is a glaring hole that they need to look, they need to tighten up on? is there any indication that you would wa nt to there any indication that you would want to highlight? what i would like to see is a greater connection between what is happening overseas and what is happening at home. i think there has been an temp two do that in the uk. the foreign office has established... looking at international terrorism. it sends terrorism can't be look at as international or national any more, they can't be separated any longer, they can't be separated any longer, they could look at linkages between overseas terrorism activity, not just returning brits, but overseas terrorism that could come back to our shores. i think this is an area that the security services struggled to do because their focus is on security services in the uk, quite properly. vladimir putin is in france — the first visit by a russian president in the past five years.

it's also the first meeting with french president emmanuel macron since his election earlier this month. our correspondent hugh schofield is in paris. it is one of those occasions when you would quite like to be a fly on the wall, i'm guessing. you would. i haven't seen the handshake, but it would be interesting to see the handshake, too, after his famous handshake, too, after his famous handshake with donald trump, emmanuel macron. he is on a mission to make his mark, to show the world that france's back on the world stage and a country with great self—confidence in a newly invigorated europe, as he would like to see it. that is his mission. some have raised questions about why he is honouring vladimir putin in this way, especially given the fact that all the signals coming out of moscow

worried that emmanuel macron was the last person they wanted to see. vladimir putin made it clear that he would much rather have fonts scythia or marine le pen, he met at the kremlin, as president. that didn't happen. emmanuel macron is there and feels that he is in a position of moral power because he can say i will nothing to this guy, i recognise that russia is an important player so i extend the hand of welcome hoping that this is a restart and are relations. we have just shown that the hand of welcome and it looked reasonably warm on the surface. what is high on the agenda? there are significant differences between these two. that is why vladimir putin was hoping that it wouldn't be a emmanuel macron. he said he would cleave to the european line on these issues, ukraine and

syria being the most important, and the sanctions regime over ukraine. he will not budge from those. emmanuel macron is a man sending out signals that france will not be a pushover. he wants to send the signal to vladimir putin today that these are points of principle which france holds to be very important. looking ahead, he will be trying to see if there is some kind of meeting of minds possible down the road. i think he is hoping to have some kind of gesture from vladimir putin that might signify that russia realises it made some kind of mistake in the run—up to the election. russia seems to have banked on a populist wave causing mayhem in europe, but that didn't happen. in france there an

invigorated regime under manuel iimacroi. they want to approach russia with what he sees as a position of strength saying, look, can be addressed these issues of syria and ukraine again in the hope that vladimir putin himself once a way out. he doesn't necessarily want this crisis to endure forever. hopefully, something can in student with a lot of love and putin to climb down and save face. and these two major crises to be resolved. thank you very much. we're going to take you to australia now where there has been a shark encounter of a very different kind. a 73—year—old fisherman has had a narrow escape after a great white jumped into his boat. it happened off the north coast of new south wales. the 200 kilogram beast injured terry selwood after knocking him to the floor of his vessel. here's terry sharing his story with abc news in australia. one of the hand lines, on the left—hand side,

made a bit of a jump. i thought i had a bite. i touched the hand line and ijust caught a blur in the corner of my eye and just out of instinct, i threw my right arm up and this thing hit me in the forearm and knocked me off my feet and i fell on my hands and knees and this thing was beside me and i looked over and i thought, "oh, a shark." so, he was doing a mad dance around, he was thrashing everywhere, so i got up as quick as i could. i thought he had broken my arm, but he hadn't. i thought he broke one of the bones in my arm, but he badly bruised it and tore the skin off and i took a hanky out of my pocket and wrapped it around as tight as i could to try and stop the bleeding a bitand ijust hung on, grabbed my little radio and called the coast guard and they came and picked me up. quite a fishing expedition!

it is looking pretty cloudy for bank holiday monday. sunshine will be limited, the best of it so far has beenin limited, the best of it so far has been in east anglia and the south—east. more rain will push in here during the afternoon. i brits are praying for northern ireland, scotla nd are praying for northern ireland, scotland and northern england. try in the north—east of scotland. we could see done to be showers in south—west england, wales, the midlands and north west england. very cool in the north—west, but humid in the south—east. it stays cloudy and damp, further outbreaks of rain across the country this evening for the first part of the night. it will turn a bit dry in the site. mild once again, fresher in the north—west corner. into tuesday, the north—west corner. into tuesday, the next band of rain will spread into western areas, it will weaken as it reaches england and wales. the hand that we should see spells of sunshine developing, but it will be breezy. ahead of it, bit of warmth,

22 degrees, feeling fresher in the north and the west.
