tonight at ten: an official review says the manchester bombing — which killed 22 people earlier this year — could have been stopped. the bomber, salman abedi, had been a subject of interest to mi5, and opportunities to stop him were missed. a report by a former independent reviewer of terrorism legislation says the intelligence should have been acted upon. having received that intelligence, mi5 should have opened an investigation and who knows what that investigation would have found. fact is, they didn't. we'll have details of the official review into the attack in manchester and those in london. also tonight... theresa may, discussing brexit with the spanish prime minister, says the uk is close to a deal to move on to trade talks. a decision by the international olympic committee, to ban russia from competing at next year's winter olympics, after allegations of state—sponsored doping. christine keeler, the model at the centre of one of the great political scandals of modern times, has died at the age of 75.

and we'll be live in hull to talk to the winner of this year's turner prize for art. and coming up on sportsday later in the hour on bbc news: three british clubs — celtic, cheslea and manceshetr united — are in champions league action, playing their final group matches. good evening. the bomber who attacked the manchester arena in may this year, killing 22 people, had been a subject of interest to the security service and opportunities to stop him were missed. that's the conclusion of an official review by david anderson, a former independent reviewer

of terrorism legislation. he says it's conceivable that the attack by salman abedi could have been avoided had the "cards fallen differently". after the manchester bombing and three terror attacks in london this year, counter—terror police and mi5 conducted their own reviews, as our security correspondent, gordon corera, reports. four terror attacks in three months, with some of those responsible known to the authorities, raising questions as to whether they could have been prevented. today a review said that the bombing at manchester arena, which killed 22 in may, was the only one that might have been stopped. the bomber, salman abedi, had been known to the authorities in the past but was not under active investigation. however, data analysis of 20,000 former suspects flagged him as one of a few dozen people for further investigation. but nine days before a meeting about this, he carried out his attack. and in the months leading up to that, new intelligence came in,

which, if assessed differently, might have made him a priority. in hindsight, it's quite obvious that having received that intelligence, mi5 should have opened an investigation and who knows what that investigation would have found. fact is, they didn't interpret the intelligence that way. the opportunity was missed. 15—year—old 0livia campbell—hardy was killed in manchester. her grandfather today said he wasn't blaming the security services. they're going to do the best they can with the information they've got and they gather. assess theirselves, assess the situation, make decisions and act on it. i will not fault anybody for doing theirjob. 0n the other attacks, in the case of london bridge, ring leader, khuram butt, was under active investigation, but there were no signs of what he was planning. in westminster bridge, khalid masood was a former subject of interest, but there were no warning signs. in finsbury park, there was no intelligence on the man charged.

this year's attacks were a shock to the security service mi5, and today's report makes clear there do need some changes. there are 126 recommendations in all. perhaps the most important — that information from here needs to be shared more freely with local police and other partners. the home secretary responded today by saying that police would have the money they needed. we will shortly be announcing the budgets for policing for 2017/18. i am clear that we must ensure counter—terrorism policing has the resources needed to deal with the threats that we face. as well as these four attacks, nine more plots have been stopped in the last year, and officials warn the threat remains unprecedented. gordon corera, bbc news. the prime minister has been warned, by some of her own conservative colleagues, that nothing must be

done in the brexit talks which threatens the integrity and unity of the united kingdom. the warning was delivered after yesterday's setback for theresa may, when the democratic unionist party of northern ireland objected to proposals for the irish border. labour said the government's approach to brexit was now an "embarrassment" as our political editor, laura kuenssberg, reports. you can shake hands as much as you like. reporter: prime minister, are you confident of a deal? but it doesn't mean there'll be a deal. the spanish leader, only one of the dozens she has to get onside. there are still a couple of issues we need to work on, but we'll be reconvening in brussels later this week. but it's this band she needs right now, the democratic unionist party's ten mps, feeling their power in every step. good afternoon, folks. they refused to back theresa may's deal in brussels yesterday over ireland's border.

their fear? it would send northern ireland on a different path to the rest of the uk. clearly, the text that we were shown very late yesterday morning did not translate what we had been told in general conversations into reality. would you be willing to see the deal fail? we don't want to see the talks fail. we don't want to see an outcome where there's no deal. we want to see a sensible brexit. it's not a done deal, never too late. yesterday's collapse provoked arguments on all sides, with some believing scotland, wales or some sectors of the economy should all get special status now. in dublin, one clear message: no budging. clinging to the agreement that the north and south would mirror each others‘ rules and regulations in future. the ball is in london's court. the prime minister and the european commission, the negotiating teams, have asked for more time. i understand that the prime minister is managing many difficulties. number ten still believes it could be back on by the end of the week. sorted certainly by christmas.

but the failure yesterday meant a barrage of attacks in the commons. what an embarrassment. shambles. if the price of the prime minister's approach is the break up of the union and re—opening of bitter divides in northern ireland, then the price is too high. the suggestion we might depart the european union but leave one part of the united kingdom behind — still inside the single market and customs union — that is emphatically not something that the uk government is considering. reporter: confident of a deal, mrjohnson? there's no agreement yet at cabinet about the specifics of what happens next and there's brooding unhappiness about some brexiteers of what was promised. the former leader telling the bbc it might be time to walk away. this is a game being played out over power. the answer boils down to — who will call the shots on this? right now, we have to say: not good enough. we simply cannot pay this price.

you're saying to brussels, "back off or we'll walk." well, i think the statement is even more straightforward. you need to change this process and to back off, otherwise we get on with other arrangements. the prime minister and the dup are yet to talk directly today. theresa may is not in total control of her relationships with her friends or rivals. laura kuenssberg, bbc news, westminster. the dup leader, arlene foster, said tonight that the proposal being discussed yesterday in brussels — about resolving the irish border question — had come as a big shock. at the heart of the dup‘s concerns was the prospect of reinforcing ties between the north and the republic and potential new differences emerging within the uk. our ireland correspondent, chris buckler, has been to county antrim to examines the unionists' concerns. from the port at larne harbour,

every day trucks and trade make the journey across the irish sea to britain. unionists say the rest of the uk is northern ireland's most important market, not the european union. and in this town, some were concerned by a brexit deal that focussed on interests on this island rather than across these isles. focussed on interests on this island rather than across these islesm would mean a united ireland. we need to keep hold of our beliefs and traditions. there's a lot of things sold down the river. we need to hold on to what we can. after many rows about flags and culture, some unionists worry that this is a kingdom that's becoming less united. politics in northern ireland tends to be dominated by questions of identity, whether see themselves as british or irish and what scared the dup was that the deal on the table seemed to prioritise relationships

in the republic of ireland over those in the rest of the uk. there's certainly no love lost between the dup and irish government. they've accused each other of endangering relationships. daniel connor says this is a place where they really matter. if you're saying that the dup are trying to force theresa may's hand. what i'm saying is that this could easily be sorted out by the irish government. you know, if you're talking about the belfast agreement, they have as much responsibility as anybody else. the dup, which campaigned for brexit, had the power to say no to the deal, because the conservatives need their support at westminster. it does not wa nt to support at westminster. it does not want to be seen to weaken northern ireland's place within the united kingdom. anything which would bring northern ireland closer to dublin and further away from london would be very difficult for the dup to sell to its supporters. in cutting any deal, there were some here that felt that unionists should be wary of asking too much from the tories, after all, they share many of their

political principles. i think really theresa may, she would possibly be better to say to the dup, if you don't vote for us, what's the alternative — possibly jeremy corbyn. i think that would be what they don't really want. keeping the tie that's will satisfy both the european union and the dup will be a difficult task for the prime minister. but she's left with no choice but to try to turn these negotiations around. chris buckler, bbc news, larne. russia has been banned from competing at next year's winter olympics in south korea. it follows an investigation into allegations of state—sponsored doping at the 2014 games, which were hosted by russia in sochi. but the international olympic committee has decided that russian athletes, who can prove they are clean, will be allowed to compete in south korea under a neutralflag. our sports editor, dan roan, reports. it's taken almost four years, but tonight a sporting superpower paid the price for sabotaging

its own olympics. russia ruled at sochi 2014, but behind the scenes, it was cheating on a scale never seen before, and today after a 17 month long investigation, the ioc decided on an unprecedented punishment. russia would be banned. the report clearly lays out an unprecedented attack on the integrity of the olympic games and sport. as an athlete myself, i am feeling very sorry for all the clean athletes from all areas who are suffering from this manipulation. russia's cheating was exposed by the former head of moscow's anti—doping lab, grigory rodchenkov, alleging an elaborate state—sponsored conspiracy that benefited 1000 athletes across 30 sports. as with this summer's world athletics championship in london, russian competitors who can prove they are clean will be allowed to

take part in pyeongchang, but only as neutrals, referred to as olympic athletes from russia. they will compete with the uniform bearing this name, and under the olympic flag. the olympic anthem will be played in any ceremony. last week in moscow at the draw of the world cup is residing over, russia's deputy prime minister told me that criticism of his country was unfair. today the former sportsman was banned from the olympics for life for his role in the scandal. tonight's news will dismay russians like former olympic speed skater svetla na zhurova. now a politician, she told me the games were all about representing one's country. when you stand on the podium, you see your flag, you listen your item, and you are so proud. you cry. it's very important, i think, for the ioc that each country had its own flag. this scandal has seen the rewriting of

sports history books. russia topped the table in sochi, but after the retesting of samples a host of athletes have been stripped of medals. prior to today, the olympic flame burned a lot less bright, but today people know that integrity matters, fair play matters, athletes rights, that ultimately falls this decision, they matter. last week, russia's olympians unveiled their kit for the winter games. tonight, they learned they would not be needing it, their country out in the cold. the punishment meted out to russia todayis the punishment meted out to russia today is unparalleled in olympic history, hewnly embarrassing and —— hugely embarrassing and painful for a country organising the world cup next summer. they will appeal. president putin is said to be considering whether to boycott the games and stop any athletes from competing even as neutrals. the ramifications of this dispute should

not be underestimated. dan, thank you. president trump has confirmed his intention to move america's embassy in israel from tel aviv to jerusalem. a spokesman for the palestinian president, mahmoud abbas, said such a move would have "dangerous consequences" for world peace. and president erdogan of turkey threatened to cut off links to israel describing the issue as a "red line" for muslims. our north america editor, jon sopel, is in washington. what is your take on the president's calculation? senior diplomats are asking the same question — why did you need to pick this fight and why did you need to pick it now? if you travel around america you don't hear a lot of people saying — one of the key central concerns for me is donald trump moving the us embassy. the other aspects of this, as you said, issic maing jerusalem the capital. that has provoked this enormous backlash. as you said, the palestinians say dangerous consequences to peace and security. the arab league, a dangerous

measure. saudi arabia, detrimental to the peace process. jordan saying there are serious implications for peace. now, you have to see this in the context of how is he going to frame it? i've spoken to people who have been briefed on the speech. they say there may be areas to soften it up in terms of maybe for the first time donald trump accepting a two—state solution and eastjerusalem being accepting a two—state solution and east jerusalem being part accepting a two—state solution and eastjerusalem being part of a palestinian state. but what you never really know is what donald trump is going to say until he says it. jon, many thanks again for the update there. jon sopel for us in washington. it's been confirmed within the past hour that christine keeler, the model who found herself at the centre of one of the great political scandals of modern times, has died at the age of 75. she became famous for her involvement in the profumo affair, back in 1963, a scandal that rocked the british establishment, nick higham expains.

# she loves you, yeah, yeah, yeah #. it was the biggest scandal of the 19605 and christine keeler was the woman at its centre — model, party girl, mistress of powerful men. john profuma was the minister for war, he and christine had a brief affair. when challenged, he lied about it to the house of commons, and was forced to resign. it didn't help that yevgeny ivanov, a kgb spy, had also been seeing keeler. the old establishment never recovered from the shock. the profuma affair spelt the end of prime minister harold macmillan's government, but also the end of an era of deference and respect in which had been discreetly swept under the carpet. it was one of the first occasions when politicians were held accountable for their private behaviour and their bedroom antics actually had ramifications in their political careers. christine always claimed she was more prey and that predator. i wish that at that time i had been older, so that i would have been able

to have answered or spoke up for myself. she'd school at 15, her childhood home had been a pair of converted railway carriages. she'd a child at 17 and then lived with peter racham, a notorious slum landlord. later, her west indian boyfriend was charged with assaulting her and christine lied in court. she was jailed for perjury. who is that, by the bins? she lives here, she owns the shop round the corner. she went on to write three books, one filmed as scandal. christine was happy to help with the film's publicity. ican get i can get you a place of your own. i've told you, i'm happy as i am. i never felt bitter, i think that some press have said that. but i've never felt bitter, maybe they were hoping i was,

but, no, not at all. i haven't felt bitter. i'm pleased that the truth can come out now. but she was often broke, a victim, many thought, of establishment hypocrisy and two marriages ended in divorce. tonight her son said she'd earnt her place in british history, but at huge personal cost. christine keeler, who died late last night at the age of 75. a bbc investigation has found that online streaming apps, used by children to make live broadcasts, are being infiltrated by men trying to groom young people. the national crime agency says it's arrested more than 190 men across the uk in a single week in connection with sexual offences against children. we have this special report from our correspondent angus crawford. meet koods, she's 20

and an online safety campaigner, who we've transformed into 14—year—old samira. she's going to try some of the most popular live—streaming apps to see what it's really like to be a teenage girl online. first, periscope — twitter‘s live video app, used by children all over the world. so there's quite a few people, within seconds — five, six, seven peoplejoining. in minutes, the conversation turned sexual. she's1li, and yet someone has just asked her to take her shirt and her bra off. next is live.me, only launched last year, now with more than 20 million users. some send samira direct messages no one else can see — clearly trying to groom her. omegle is a one—to—one video chat app that randomly connects her to users around the world. most are men, some expose themselves. ijust said, "hi." he said, "may i show it?" i said, "what?" he has got it out. pretty much as soon as i started, all i'd said was — hi, i think, i'm 1a and a girl,

and then i was just inundated. here's a guy going on cam. what's he doing? he was naked. oh, he was naked? and you told him you were 14? can you imagine if you had been a 14—year—old girl? my first reaction would be to be confused. for a second, it's nice having the attention of the hearts, and then it gets quite dark, quite quickly. and it's happening to real children right now. look at this broadcast on periscope. two girls we can't identify, around 11 years old. 2,000 people are watching, some dare them to lift their shirts. read the comments, as men ask them to go further. for those girls, it may have seemed like fun, but it can be devastating. i found her inconsolable. this is an actress, but the words are true. those of a mother whose 10—year—old daughter tried out omegle for fun. he switched his webcam on, showed her his private parts and asked her to take photos

of herself, which she did. he was never located. this mother says parents have to talk to their children about the dangers. hi, i'm sam. that's also the message behind this video launched today. but for some in law enforcement, that's not enough, the tech companies also need to do more. the industry has emerged rapidly, so i think it's important to reflect on how they're ensuring that younger children aren't using their services and age verification, maybe thinking about the moderation techniques that they might be able to use. no one from these app companies would be interviewed, but periscope says it doesn't tolerate this behaviour. omegle and live.me didn't respond to our requests. when children can broadcast to the world from their own bedrooms, whose job is it to keep them safe?

angus crawford, bbc news. rail passengers are facing the steepest rise in fares in five years. prices will rise by an average of 3.4% in january. the increase includes season tickets and some off—peak leisure tickets. the rail delivery group admitted it was a "significant" rise, but said that more than 97% of fare income went back into improving and running the railway. steelworkers have told the bbc that they've lost many thousands of pounds because of poor financial advice relating to the transfer of their old british steel pensions. the financial conduct authority has issued warnings to some independent financial advisors and a parliamentary committee is to investigate as well. our correspondent, sian lloyd, has more details. the giant port talbot steelworks, the biggest of the tata's uk plants. the company said the old gold—plated british steel pension scheme was unsustainable,

leaving workers here and at other sites a range of options, including transferring out altogether. with around 130,000 workers affected, huge pension pots and lucrative commissions for financial advisors have been at stake. it's cost me in the region of £200,000, so it's a lot of money. richard bevan is one of those workers. after 39 years at the trostre steelworks, near llanelli, he wanted a secure future. he went to this local firm, celtic wealth management, who he thought were regulated financial advisors, but they're not. they introduced clients to a firm of regulated advisors based in the midlands, called active wealth uk. between them, they failed to give richard a suitability report on which he could properly base his decision and advised him to transfer his pension out of the company scheme even though a recalculation was due, which would have substantially increased his pension pot. we're aware that other steelworkers are also unhappy about their treatment by the two companies. i'm not a gullible sort of person,

but i've obviously been led into doing something that wasn't right for me by a financial advisor, you know. and it's not a nice place to be at the moment. both companies deny richard's claims, but after we passed our findings to the financial conduct authority, the regulator intervened and active wealth is no longer allowed to give pensions advice. but this issue extends far beyond the steelworkers of south wales. gary clement has worked at the scunthorpe steelworks for a0 years. he'd planned to retire at 55. he paid a team of financial advisors, called lighthouse, a fee of more than £10,000 for advice which included information about when he could access his pension, which they've since admitted was wrong. you go to a financial advisor forfinancial advice. he says — this is what you do,

this is in your best interest. you listen. i don't believe they have anybody‘s best interests at heart. i believe it's just about money. gary has received a letter from his advisors accepting he wasn't given the correct information, but they say they believe he would have reached the same decision to leave the fund anyway. gary believes transferring out of the scheme when he did has cost him hundreds of thousands. the city watchdog, the financial conduct authority, is worried that steelworkers are particularly at risk. this is a group of people, thousands of people, who have to make a decision one way or the other. that gives rise to particular complexities. so, yes, they are particularly vulnerable i think at this stage. there is growing concern that hundreds of steelworkers could be affected by a feeding frenzy surrounding the british steel pension scheme, and millions of pounds of their hard—earned savings potentially at risk. sian lloyd, bbc news, port talbot. a rebel stronghold in the suburbs

of damascus has come under intense bombardment in recent weeks as syrian government forces try to starve the rebels into submission, and those suffering include children. the bbc has obtained footage from residents in the suburb of eastern ghouta. our middle east correspondent, martin patience, has sent this report, which includes some distressing images. it's a scene from hell, the aftermath of the latest air strike. children here can't outrun this war. doctors patch up five—year—old yusuf as best they can, but they're desperately short of medical supplies, and there's nothing they can do for trauma. the rebel stronghold of eastern ghouta has been bombed and besieged by the syrian government for years, leaving many families on the brink of starvation. it's lunchtime for nour and rassel,

this is their first and only meal of the day — a piece of bread made from barley, which is normally fed to donkeys. they dream of escaping their prison, eastern ghouta. translation: i wish i could have cookies, sweeties or any other delicious foods, and i wish someone could send me a pair of slippers and some new clothes and shoes. i really miss food, like chicken, cheese, tea and juice. in another home, two—and—a—half—year—old hamza is suffering from severe malnutrition. he wears make—shift nappies. hamza was abandoned before being taken in by a neighbour. oma mohammed says he's like one of her own children.
