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 it 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. joe lyhnam, 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 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 question at the heart of this massive counterterrorism investigation. overnight, the focus switched to the english south coast, more than 250 miles from manchester. in the seaside town of shoreham—by—sea, in sussex, officers moved in on an address and arrested a man of 23. hejoins 13 others already in custody. a normal neighbour.

i walk past him. hello, how are you doing? that's all i really know of him. salman abedi was caught on cctv as he prepared to kill himself and commit mass murder. it's emerged that five years ago, concerns began to be raised with the authorities about his extremist views. and so since the bombing, there's been criticism of the security service mi5. it has now launched two inquiries 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's right that 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 concluded and successfully so. but after the atrocity of the manchester arena, should an intelligence agency be investigating itself? well, i think at this stage,

it's appropriate that it's internal. the information is so sensitive and there needs to be speed. and the most important thing is they identify whether there are threats to the uk. i think in the goodness of time, the intelligence and security committee of parliament would be an appropriate body to review what they come up with. in the north of england, at the heart of the police inquiry, there have been raids at new locations. this was whalley range, in manchester. i think they're libyans, but i don't know much about them. they collect our parcels, we collect their parcels and they're a nice family. so it is shocking to see all of this activity and certainly the police here. a search as well 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.

june kelly, bbc news, manchester. phil ingram, a former intelligence officer, joins me now from birmingham. good afternoon. what does this mi5 reviews say to you about what may have gone wrong here? jana well, i don't know that anything has gone wrong. it is normal after an incident that the intelligence agencies will review procedures to see if they can do something better oi’ see if they can do something better or if there is something they have missed. does this indicate that there is something more? these alerts that were allegedly not acted on? public statements have come out

to see that information has been passed them, but it's easy in hindsight to look at where you've missed opportunities, but what we are asking them to do is asking them to have 24—24 site, look at this before they have the full picture and that's difficult for them. they have to examine their own processes and where mistakes might have been made or where they can improve things in order to get that 20—24 site. will they be asking them sufficiently searching questions at themselves? definitely. they are dedicated individuals who want to make sure they get things right every time, and if things have gone wrong, they look to identify it in—house. if they have to make public statements about it then they will do, but it's to make sure they

get it right next time. how transparent can this be given by its very nature a lot of what it does has to stacey crick? over the years, we've seen them become more transparent and there are certain things they will need to keep secret and we would expect them to, because we don't want those who would mean us we don't want those who would mean us harm to understand the tactics, what they are doing. arts, this will be given to the intelligence and security commission in parliament so that an assessment can be made. we are in an election campaign, you might anticipate that mi5 might turn round to those in power is to say, after genie eight, look, you seen what's happened. we probably need some more money here. they could do

that, regarding resources, but they look at the issues, to see what they can do better, if they can and then applied to the resources at that. it may not be an extra number of personnel, it may be new intelligence or information technology to help them do their daily business more efficiently. we are looking at figures for an nhs england regarding the manchester terrorist attack. we are looking at those being treated. 116 people who received in— patient care in relation to the incident. 52 in treated across eight hospitals, including 19 patients who are in radical care. that's not the same as being critically ill, but critical

care. various hospitals are still involved in the operation, however three have discharged all their patients now in reference to that attack. 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 associations. 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 which 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. japan has lodged a protest after north korea fired a missile which landed in its waters. the scud missile, which was launched from north korea's eastern coast, travelled around 280 miles before crashing into the sea near the japanese mainland. tweaking in the past hour, president trump tweeted that north korea had shown great disrespect to china. tweeting in the past hour, president trump tweeted that north korea had shown great

disrespect to china. emmanuel macron is meeting his russian counterpart today. we have oui’ russian counterpart today. we have our correspondent there. there's going to be the rights of gays in to cheney discussed, the economy, syria and ukraine. nothing is going to happen, no breakthrough, but both sides certainly want a reset, to use computer terminology, a reset of their relations which had been in such a poor state of the last few yea rs such a poor state of the last few years because of so many disagreements. a year ago vladimir putin was meant to come here, but had to cancel because the then

president said he would not be welcome. these things happened disappeared, but there is a mood asserts, such that both leaders feel there's a chance now to start a dialogue, that might in the end lead to something. interesting personal dynamics because vladimir putin had rather that marine le pen had won the election. he could take the moral high ground if that had happened, and every effort was made by moscow to back or push france was the

—— francois fillion or marine le pen. but this is not the reality and there is now this display at versailles. one can assume that putin and the russians are picking up putin and the russians are picking up on those codes and signals and saying, it looks like france wants to start something serious here. we should maybe moving, take this opportunity, and the french calculations are that russia and feeling in a strong position. they are not typically content with a situation in syria, they feel isolated. so now with macron looking to build this bridge with russia, maybe now is the time that something will give with moscow so that progress can be made. time for the

headlines. british airways says its flights are returning to normal after a global system crash although there are still some cancellations. a 23—year—old man is arrested near brighton regarding the manchester terror attack while m15 say they will review their procedures. blue peter bosz—mac longest running presenter, john noakes, has passed away. blue peter's longest running presenter, john noakes, has passed away. 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.

ware here in london. distracted by his phone, lorry driver thomas croker killed a mother and her child. he was jailed for ten years. but despite the campaigns, many are not heeding the warnings. a £200 fine is simply not enough according to some road campaigners. more than 160 people are now known to have died following monsoon floods in sri lanka. more bodies have been found buried in landslides, and more than one hundred people remain missing. sri lanka's worst floods for fourteen years have forced almost half a million people to leave their homes. pressure is growing on the brazilian president to step down after thousands of people gathered at a protest concert in rio, calling for direct elections. michel temer only came to office a year ago, following the impeachment of his predecessor, dilma rousseff, over campaign financing. but now he's been accused of taking millions of dollars of bribes. our correspondent

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! i'm sure it does me good! how's that, then? blue peter has said 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 find 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 thumped onto the ice.

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 as a programme, go with noakes, where he sampled all the pleasures of life out and about in britain. but 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 had been doing two years of go with noakes while i was still doing blue peter. i was doing a 1a—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 stand the question, "whatever happened tojohn noakes and shep?" i have 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. well, we can return to the election

now, and the conservatives are looking to get back to the election, and labourare looking to get back to the election, and labour are looking to enjoy a surge after the manifesto publication. there's a lot of strong support from the city's ethnic communities in wolverhampton, so 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 am 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 who are socially frustrated and use europe 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 as evening commuters are heading home from work. hello, welcome to wolverhampton. why do you think so many people in wolverhampton vote 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 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. 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! terry, talking about his

extraordinary spear rinsing new south wales. it is looking pretty cloudy for bank holiday monday. sunshine will be 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. showers for northern ireland, scotland and northern england. dry in the north—east of scotland. we could see some 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
