hello, and welcome to a special edition of breakfast, live from the heart of manchester. we're marking one year since the terror attack which claimed 22 lives at an ariana grande concert in the city. here at st ann's church, a flower festival is taking place to remember the victims — while later, a minute's silence will be held across the uk. over the next three hours we'll hear from people who were at the concert, from members of the emergency services who went to their aid. good morning. it's tuesday the 22nd of may. also on the programme this morning... wood burners come under fire in the government's

new "clean air" strategy — but campaigners say the plan doesn't do enough to tackle pollution from cars. police officers are to get more legal protection if they're involved in a crash on duty in a bid to tackle criminals on mopeds. good morning. is our data safe? facebook is in the spotlight again today over concerns about the way the company protects our data. in sport, a new era for arsenal as the former paris saint—germain boss unai emery is set to replace arsene wenger as their new manager. and carol has the weather. there is a verb that of cloud coming in across north—eastern scotland and england. but will push back towards the coast but generally for scotland and northern ireland it will be cloudy but for england and wales are a lot of sunshine, feeling warmer with the risk of some thundery showers in the south later. more

than 15 minutes. —— more in 15 minutes. it's long been the symbol of manchester, but the humble worker bee took on a new meaning after last year's attack — helping bring unity and hope to the city. this morning, artists will create a very special installation for us right here on the windows of our studios. good morning. welcome to a special edition of bbc brea kfast. today marks the first anniversary since 22 people were killed by a suicide bomber at an ariana grande concert in manchester. more than 800 suffered physical and psychological injuries. after the attack, thousands came here to st ann's square when much of the city was locked down,

to pay their respects, to come together in solidarity and be united against hatred. it was here that a sea of flowers were left, and crowds burst into spontaneous song, demonstrating true mancunian spirit. today, there are special tributes planned across the city. this afternoon prince william and prime minister theresa may will attend a service at manchester cathedral, with a one—minute silence at 2.30. as dusk falls song lyrics chosen by bereaved families will be projected around this square. it is going to be moving and manchester. and at 31 minutes past ten tonight, bells will ring in churches across manchester to mark the exact moment of the attack. fiona trott has been to meet two of them. the pips sound. police in manchester say a number of people have been killed and others injured at manchester arena after at least one explosion was reported. we've just heard from greater manchester police that they are linking

this to terrorism. every time i close my eyes, ijust see it and hear it. the only way i can describe it was ants out of a colony. that noise went off and then everyone just went silent and then everyone just started running. for leanne and her daughter lainey, it's still very raw. i heard a massive bang. at first i thought it were a balloon because she let down loads of balloons, like, that big. and then i heard a girl in front of me shout, "it's a bomb". it was a terrorist attack that claimed the lives of 22 people. the youngest was just eight years old. hundreds like leanne have needed intensive therapy. i went suicidal, i couldn't cope any more. if i wouldn't have gone to that session, i don't think i'd be here. that's the first time i've said that in front of lainey. the attack was carried out by this man, salman abedi. the bomb he carried contained nearly

2000 pieces of metal. prosecutors have asked for his brother hashem to be extradited from libya. there is a warrant for his arrest. negotiations are tricky, they're delicate, they're being carried out by the government and it's for them and the libyans to work that through. i would just hope that we are able to see a trial in the uk because of the families of the victims, and those injured and traumatised. one, two, three. after her experience, leanne is studying to be a mental health nurse. both she and lainey are travelling to manchester today, a city coming together to reflect. fiona trott, bbc news, manchester. i will be here throughout the morning.

i want to show you an early copy of the manchester evening news. we talked about the bee, and there they are, 22 of them, on its front cover. we will be talking to someone in the next half an hour or was there on the night and also someone else who was helping. just being here this morning and walking towards victoria station, there are these beautiful trees of hope and people leaving m essa 9 es trees of hope and people leaving messages on them. in the early hours once again, many people are coming down here to lay flowers again. throughout the morning we will be discussing what happens, what the impact has been. i'll be speaking to people with messages of hope in the city. with the rest of the day's news, here's dan. we will be in manchester throughout the morning. we would like to get your reflections as well, one year. with regard to that, ariana grande

has tweeted in the last 15 minutes. that's from ariana grande, who has tweeted that in the last 15—20 minutes. let's bring you up—to—date with other news. local councils in england are to be given new powers to curb the use of wood burners to heat homes. the idea is part of a new clean air strategy — which aims to reduce the amount of harmful particles in the air that can cause serious health problems. 0ur environment analyst, roger harrabin, reports. filthy air has become a national crisis with angry parents demanding action. the government has been dragged through the courts over failure to tackle nitrogen dioxide pollution, mainly from vehicles. today's consultation, though, concentrated mostly on other pollutants. take solid fuel fires — a big problem in winter. the government says it will prevent the dirtiest of solid fuels being burnt. but it doesn't say how.

wood burners add to air problems too. a government source said they would not be banned but people would be encouraged to burn dry wood which pollutes less. campaigners say the plans so far are too vague. ministers reject that. by taking steps both to reduce petrol and diesel cars on our road, but also to deal with everything from wood—burning stoves to pollution generated by ammonia on agricultural land, we are doing everything we can to insure the next generation lead healthier lives. here's one area where the government has promised decisive action. farms are the main source of ammonia, an irritant gas which forms particles which get sucked deep into the lungs. farmers will be paid to clean up. but the air pollution issue isn't settled yet. roger harrabin, bbc news. greater legal protection could be given to police drivers who are involved in a road crash during a pursuit under plans by the home office.

the reforms — which would affect forces in england and wales — follow concerns among officers that they risk prosecution for careless or dangerous driving if they chase criminals at high speed. i think the main thing to get across is that police officers will always operate within their training and within the law. and what it will mean is, they will have the confidence that when they are discharging their duties, they're going to be judged against somebody with the same amount of training, knowledge and skill that one of their colleagues will have, rather than a member of the public. a murder investigation‘s started after a man was stabbed to death on a busy street in north london. officers were called at around 6.30 last night where the unnamed victim was pronounced dead at the scene. it brings the number of murders in the capital so far this year to more than 65. the bbc understands the government is considering whether to scrap some of the controversial nhs reforms introduced in england in 2012. the changes — which have been widely criticised — sought to give gps more control over health budgets

by replacing primary care trusts with clinical commissioning groups. it's thought the prime minister is keen to deliver a new long—term plan for the health service. the duke and duchess of sussex have released three official photographs taken at their wedding at the weekend. we can see the couple here together on the steps on the east terrace of windsor castle. here they are with the bridesmaids and page boys involved in the wedding. almost everyone smiling! and here's the group photo of all of them with close family, including the queen. harry and meghan will carry out their first royal engagement as a married couple today, at the prince of wales' 70th birthday celebrations at buckingham palace. it is hard work getting all those bridesmaids and page boys to smile, isn't it? i don't know how they did it at one of the previous royal

weddings, it was with a whistle or trumpet. almost all of them smiling. ijust want trumpet. almost all of them smiling. i just want to know, in that beautiful dress, why was she sitting ona beautiful dress, why was she sitting on a step? that was the first thing that went through my head. on a step? that was the first thing that went through my headlj on a step? that was the first thing that went through my head. i hope she was of attrition. and some big news for arsenalfans. she was of attrition. and some big news for arsenal fans. this was broken last night by one of our colleagues. so it's the big story across all the back pages today — the man expected to be named as the new arsenal manager, unai emery. the spaniard is set to be confirmed as the man to replace arsene wenger later this week. he left paris saint—germain last week after winning the treble in france this season. we will tell you all about him this morning. we're counting down the days to liverpool's huge night in kiev on saturday — the champions league final against real madrid. jurgen klopp's side had a training session for the world's media at anfield yesterday. they fly out to ukraine later this week. iimagine i imagine some fans are already on

their way. that is a long old journey. eni aluko is preparing for a new life on the continent after leaving chelsea, but says she's still hoping for a return to international footbal with england. so far she has not said where she is planning on going. she's talking about a new life on the continent. no firm details yet about what she's actually going to do. i still believe that she has potential to play for england. 0n believe that she has potential to play for england. on that liverpool fa ns play for england. on that liverpool fans then, lots of fans are booked tickets and hotels and when liverpool reached the final they we re liverpool reached the final they were told that the hotel booking no longer exists, you will have to pay double. it is really difficult. quite a few people but i know are going on a coach across europe, the most complicated route. it would ta ke most complicated route. it would take three days to get there, you watch the game, then three days to get home. that is a long old journey

if they don't win. it would be worth it. we have more about that, about kids that have been returned by real madrid fans and liverpool fans are not able to get hold of them. we have a special programme today to mark the one—year anniversary of the manchester arena attack. louise is going to be in manchester town centre throughout the morning. here's carol with a look at this morning's weather. this morning we have a lot of cloud in the forecast for some parts of the uk. some of us. the fair bit of sunshine. there are already showers across parts of kent and essex and we will see further showers develop across england through the day. some of them will be heavy and thundery. yesterday we had this weather front draped across scotland and northern ireland. it is a weekly feature. still some splashes of rain coming out of it but it will tend to dry

through the course of the day. and many of us in northern ireland and scotla nd many of us in northern ireland and scotland will have a cloudy day, and an end in and wales, mostly sunshine. some cloud coming in from the north sea. it is quite a grey, call the north sea. it is quite a grey, ca ll start the north sea. it is quite a grey, call start to the day here. yesterday in aberdeenshire we had 21 celsius. nothing like that today. through the afternoon we could see some more shallow spark of in southern england but many of us will tend to miss them. if you catch one, they could be heavy and thundery. it is going to be close and warm with temperatures in the 20s. if you're heading to the chelsea flower show, we can't rule out a shower. there is a risk of a shower. for most it will be dry with a fair bit of sunshine around and it will be pleasant. this evening and overnight we have clear skies, but low cloud is hanging around eastern scotland, and eastern

england, extending that bit further south. and it comes inland as well. to the west, clearer skies. it is not going to be a particularly cold night, either. we start tomorrow on a grey note, across many parts of england and also eastern scotland. it will brighten up from the west through the day but really it is the west tomorrow that is going to see the lion's share of the sunshine. a much brighter day across much of scotla nd much brighter day across much of scotland and northern ireland compare to what already week and what you can expect in the course of today. temperatures nothing to write about, about, 12 in the north, and further south, looking at 22, 23, possibly a little bit higher than that. we still have this cloud rolling in from the north sea, pushing back towards the coastline as we go through the day. it will be dry, fine and warm in the north of the country. but you can see what is happening in the south, importing

some showers from the channel islands, and again, some of those could be heavy. thank you for that, carol. let's take a look at today's papers. the majority of gone with those official royal wedding photographs. there is the daily telegraph talking about the new firm, a captivating family portrait. and a special wraparound edition of the sun. let me show you the front page of the guardian. two stories, ken livingstone quits party. he announced yesterday he is resigning from the labour party because of issues around his suspension for alleged anti—semitism which have become a distraction. several papers covering this, the start of the g re nfell covering this, the start of the grenfell fire inquiry. we spoke about this yesterday. six of the 72

families gave an account of what they had been through and told a bit about the family member that they had lost. 0n the front page, andrew and marcio gomes. he spoke about trying to revive his son and looking for signs of life. that was one of the most remarkable moments yesterday from the six families who gave an account of people they lost in the grenfell tower fire last year. that is a continuing story as well. and talking about the newcastle manager, unai emery. there is talk of a press conference later this week. we'll have details of that throughout the morning. and this is a special programme marching —— marking the one—year anniversary of the manchester arena attack. ariana grande has tweeted and follow

saying, thinking of you all, every day. i am sending you all of the life and wealth i have to offer on this challenging day. there is the tuitt she put up. —— the tweet. and on the manchester evening news, they have 22 worker bees on the cover, and although the names of those who perished in the attack one year ago. i know people want this to be a celebration but it is going to be difficult for a lot of the families, and those who were there. absolutely. it will be a very difficult day for so many people. we will be speaking to some of those. interesting to hear that tweet. we know that manchester has a unique relationship with music. i'm in saintand relationship with music. i'm in saint and square. after that one minute silence for the victims, the crowds burst into spontaneous song

-- i'm in crowds burst into spontaneous song —— i'm in st ann's square. this is the place where thousands of people came together after the attack. it was here in st ann's square, just after a minute's silence, when the crowd spontaneously started to sing the oasis song, "don't look back in anger". the power of song is now being used to help heal those who were caught up in the attack. a group of them have come together to form the manchester survivors' choir. the choir is just a brilliant thing. there was about 15, 16 of us the first time. it was the singing that brought us together. i was really afraid, really afraid of coming into manchester, ijust didn't want to be here. this choir is enough reason to put ourselves through that pain. # we walked the line... it's just really nice that you can just leave all your problems at the door. we all kind of understand each other, like, more than you would with, just, like, a normal person. we were at the concert with our two 11—year—old daughters. and i know that lisa would have done exactly the same thing as me.

as a mum, my priority was to get lisa, my daughter, you know, to safety. and i left without her and i do regret that. i'm still here, you can't get rid of me that quick. 0n the night that it happened, when i went back into my room, i didn't sleep the whole night. i still felt like they did it to hurt us, not anyone else, just our family. and even though i knew it wasn't, ijust had that in my head that they were still coming to get us. she was just very quiet, and in her room, not socialising, having nightmares, not really telling me, just tired. sometimes it would be the night, or, like, it would be different scenarios of it happening again. you take for granted feeling happy. and i had a shock when i wasjust driving in my car picking the girls up from school, and i experienced

a moment of happiness, and that was probably only two months ago, wasn't it? and i was like, gosh, i forgot that feeling. that's really sad. we come together, proper northerners with our buffet and our tea and our cake. and we are going to keep going and it's not going to stop people doing the things that they enjoy. # and i'll rise up, i'll rise like the day # i'll rise up, i'll rise unafraid and do it a thousand times again... the words just mean so much to everybody. we were all there, and we're all here now. # i'll rise up, in spite of the ache, i'll rise up... we've been through something really difficult, but we do want to stand up and rise up and show everybody that, you know, we are carrying on and we're going to be positive and will make something positive out of this.

# for you. # applause what a wonderful choir. they will be here singing later on in the programme. joining me now dr clare jones, clinical lead for children and young people at the manchester resilience hub and sean gardner, who went to collect his daughter from the concert. good morning to you both. thank you so much. i'm sure that you saw things nobody would want to see that night. can you tell is a little bit about what happened ?|j night. can you tell is a little bit about what happened? i went to collect my eldest daughter. my youngest was on the show. we parked in the men. i walked up to collect my youngest having left my oldest in the car. it should only have been a minute or two. just as i was walking into the a8, the bomb exploded. i

wasn't in the room thankfully but just literally about to walk in. i was faced with a choice. i had arranged to meet my daughter and her friend in the foyer and i couldn't do anything but go in and checked that she wasn't affected. i had to walk around and survey the scene and tha nkfully walk around and survey the scene and thankfully she wasn't hurt or injured. and as i was walking out i was asked to stop and help somebody he was catastrophically injured. i did what i could. but i am no medic. it was more about comforting than anything else. i was there for 20, 25 minutes. you are still shaken by this even now. it doesn't go away, i'm afraid. what i've island after the event was that, quite quickly —— what i found after the event was that i couldn't sleep, my relationship was breaking down, i was difficult to live with, i still had a dayjob to do, and i needed

some help and i managed to get that. he's so not alone in what he has gone through. how can you help people, particularly on this first year anniversary, should people be talking about it? you are absolutely right. this has had a huge effect on lots of people. people have been in the severe emotional shock, like sean hazzard, the severe emotional shock, like sean hazza rd, it the severe emotional shock, like sean hazzard, it is absolutely normal to have very strong reactions —— like sean has had. talking therapies are some of those that have good evidence base of helping people. it is still an absolutely huge thing that can seriously, significantly affect you. you have been reaching out to help people. even at this stage, people can have a delayed reaction to it.|j even at this stage, people can have a delayed reaction to it. i work at

the manchester resilience hub that has been set up by the nhs after the arena attack. we have been reaching out to people who have been affected and we are open late this week and at the weekend, as well, so that we can reach out to people. and from a child's point of view, the anniversary. we know that some of the difficulties people might have had at the beginning, it might have got better, they might have had therapy, they are finding it easier but with the anniversary it is common for some of those difficulties to bother people again. what should parents be doing, then? we are advising parents to look out for changes in their children's behaviour, their friendships, if they are becoming more anxious. and to give children the message that it is normal and 0k to feel upset at this time. and sean, how will you be

marking today? just taking time to reflect, really. claire's organisation have helped my children and they have been amazing but there arejust different and they have been amazing but there are just different ways of engaging and what we're trying to do is launch in the media and online, a free therapeutic service to help suffering from trauma so if something like this was to happen again we are able to deliver something that helps, some infrastructure. there is so much support out there for people, if they can try to access it. thank you both very much indeed for your time especially on this day. we will be here throughout the morning hearing from people who were there, that night. and the amazing emergency services who went in to help people as well. let's get the news, travel and weather wherever you are. good morning, i'm asad ahmad.

police drivers are to get more protection if they're involved in a crash, in a bid to tackle criminals on mopeds. it comes after a spike in moped related crime in london leading to these proposals by the home office. it aims to tackle the "myth", as they call it, that officers can't pursue riders who aren't wearing helmets. the rules will say that riders who don't wear a helmet are responsible for their own safety and deciding to drive dangerously. a man has been found dead following what's been described as a "horrifying" knife attack in islington. it happened near the town hall at around 6.30 yesterday evening. some residents were prevented from going home while police carried out investigations, with the nearby church opening its doors overnight for food and shelter for locals who needed it. no arrests have been made. as the public inquiry into the grenfell tower fire begins its second day, a gardening project set up in the area to help residents affected by the disaster continues to heal wounds.

the olive branch charity was set up by local people who say they wanted to bring "peace" to the lives of their neighbours. we kind of thought we could turn this into a legacy for this community and beyond. in north kensington, where our community has been affected by something so tragic, it's helped people here and it's helping the environment also so i think it's a win/win. let's have a look at the travel situation now. lots of signal failures on the tube. the victoria line is part—suspended due to a signal failure. the metropolitan line has severe delays also because of a signal failure. and the 0verground has minor delays for the same reason. 0n the roads, in islington, upper street is closed in both directions due to a police investigation. and in westminster, the traffic lights are out of action on horseferry road at the junction with marsham street. let's have a check on the weather now with rich davis. good morning.

it's set to be another sunny start to things this morning. there is a chance we could just see one or two showers around first thing, eventually, though, they will clear away and we are set to have some bright and dry conditions through the majority of this morning, over the lunchtime period and into this afternoon as well. any showers that we do see are mostly likely to be fairly light in nature. temperatures up to 23 celsius so still feeling pretty warm. and as we head into this evening and overnight, staying fairly dry as well. cloud will steadily build up as we head towards the early hours of tomorrow morning which means temperatures are not really going to fall away too much, down to eight or nine celsius tonight. as we head through the rest of the week, we can see it's staying fairly bright and quite dry. there is a chance we could see one or two showers, perhaps a rumble or two of thunder, maybe a flash of lightning here or there. as we head towards the weekend, you can see steadily the temperatures are beginning to pick up and by next week we could be into the high mid—20s. things staying fairly warm as we head through this week with some more sunny spells on the way. vanessa feltz has her breakfast show from 7am on bbc radio london. it was on that show that former

mayor ken livingstone made comments which some claim were anti—semitic leading to his resignation from the party last night. and mr livingstone will be speaking to vanessa just after 8am. u nfortu nately unfortunately louise cannot hear us this morning. you're watching a special programme, bbc breakfast this morning. we are marking the first anniversary of the manchester arena attack which killed 22 people and injured 800. louise is in st ann's square, a place where hundreds of people

gathered in disbelief that something so horiffic could happen at a concert, attended by so many children. ariana grande has been treating this morning. she said this morning, thinking of all of you this morning, iam sending thinking of all of you this morning, i am sending all of the light i have on offer on this challenging day. if you have any reflections, do get in contact with us. you can find us on social media and e—mail us. we will sort out the technical difficulties and we will be back with louise as soon as the full. but first, the other news. local councils in england are to be given new powers to curb the use of wood burners to heat homes. the idea is part of a new clean air strategy which aims to reduce the amount of harmful particles in the air that can cause serious health problems. greater legal protection could be given to police drivers who are involved in a road crash during a pursuit under

plans by the home office. the reforms, which would affect forces in england and wales, follow concerns among officers that they risk prosecution for careless or dangerous driving if they chase criminals at high—speed. facebook boss mark zuckerberg is answering questions from eu politicians over whether our data is safe on the site later today. ben's got more on this. mps here have asked for him to appear in the uk, he is not coming here but he's speaking to eu officials? yes, this is the latest in a growing backlash against the social network. he will be facing tough questions on the cambridge analytica data scandal, facebook‘s role in election interference, and his company's attitude to new privacy laws coming in to force in the uk and across the eu later this week. we need to wind back quite a way back to the roots of this appearance. it dates back to 201a when facebook users took an online quiz to find out their personality type. it was designed to harvest the data of the people taking part and all theirfriends.

facebook says that meant 87 million users' data was improperly shared. a whistle—blower claims the data was sold to cambridge analytica, which then used during the 2016 us election to target voters. cambridge analytica says that's not true. but it means facebook is under scrutiny over how it handles our personal data. today will be the first time mark zuckerberg has appeared before lawmakers since this appearance in front of us congress in april. here's what he told them. it isa it is a big mistake. it was my mistake. and i'm sorry. i started facebook, i run it, and i'm responsible for what happens here. since the scandal emerged in march, facebook has changed its terms and conditions to give all more say over what happens to our data. but this weekend even bigger changes come into force.

the issue is that by he's not appearing in front of uk lawmakers. they have cold for a number of times for him to appear, but the eu is a potential regulator said they are keen to make sure that europe is happy with what they say. it will be open for the public to listen to, it is at 5:15pm. we will speak to the chair of the digital, culture and media and sport committee later on in the programme, one of those who has requested mark clarke of the appear in the uk on numerous occasions. a bbc investigation has discovered the insulation that burned out of control in the grenfell tower fire had never passed the required safety test and should never have been on the building. panorama found the firm

which supplied the insulation, celotex, may have misled the contractors who did the refurbishment about its suitability for use in high rise buildings. richard bilton reports. in testimony after testimony, the first day of the public inquiry brought home the horror of grenfell. the lives and families destroyed by the disaster. he looked like he was just sleeping. as babies do. at that moment... we felt like our hearts had broken. and they had. grenfell burned ferociously because it was wrapped in flammable material. panorama has found that the installation should never have been there. rs 5000, manufactured by celotex, had not passed the relevant safety tests. celotex offered it to the contractors at grenfell, knowing it wasn't suitable for use

on the review refurbishment of a tower block. that is remarkable and staggering and i think people will be extremely angry about that. it's just unbelievable, that people can operate like that. rs 5000 had passed safety tests but panorama also understands the insulation that was tested had a more fire retardant mix. meaning the product on grenfell was more flammable and untested. well, words fail me. this is absolutely mind blowing. this material is all over the place. celotex say they can't comment because they are cooperating with the police investigation and the public inquiry, but they did not deny any of the bbc‘s allegations. richard bilton, bbc news.

early exposure to germs could help protect children against a common form of cancer, lymphoblastic leukaemia, according to a new study. scientists at the institute of cancer research in london say theirfindings mean it might be possible to prevent the disease one day. it's the most common childhood cancer affecting one in 2,000 children in the uk every year. tesco is removing best before dates from the majority of its fresh fruit and vegetables to prevent food waste. the supermarket giant decided to do it after enviromental campaigners said they confused shoppers, and encouraged throwing edible produce away. sally is here this morning looking at the sport for us. if you have just turned on your telly, and you are wondering where louise is, we have a special programme for you today because we are marking the one—year anniversary of the manchester arena bombing, on that morning, you might remember, we got the phone call saying, very early in

the phone call saying, very early in the morning, she went down and presented the whole programme from manchester city centre, i was here that it manchester city centre, i was here thatitis manchester city centre, i was here that it is one of those days when you wake up, terrible news, you switch on your television but ceremony people will remember that day one—year on. —— so many people will remember that day. we will talk to the survivors, the emergency services, and the mayor of manchester, to see what they will do to commemorate that moment. manchester, to see what they will do to commemorate that momentm manchester, to see what they will do to commemorate that moment. it is nice that ariana grande has already said ata nice that ariana grande has already said at a message to this morning, saying she is thinking of them just as she thinks of them every day, thatis as she thinks of them every day, that is a very important gesture. but to the sport, an interesting development overnight for arsenal. we talked about mikel arteta being the next manager. it's not happening. i think he certainly wa nted happening. i think he certainly wanted to be but he will not be him. they look to have picked the successor to arsene wenger, and its former paris saint germain manager unai emery. the spaniard is a suprise pick but has a good pedigree in european football,

winning the europa league three times in a row with sevilla. so who is unai emery? emery spent most of his playing career in spain's second division at his home town club real sociedad. his playing career was ended by injury in 200a while at lorca in the spanish third tier. he was offered the manager's job there and guided the club to the second division for the first time in their history. he won promotion to spain's top flight with almeria, and then moved to valencia. a brief foray in russia didn't quite go to plan so he went back to spain and it was at sevilla where he really flourished, winning the europa league three seasons in a row. next stop and his most recent appointment was in the french capital with the big—spending paris saint germain, where he won a cup double in his first season and then ended his spell in paris last week with a treble including the league title. an impressive cv, i am sure you will agree. let's get a bit of reaction from an arsenal legend, former striker ian wright who's been speaking to bbc radio 5 live.

unai emery had a load of money to be able to spend at psg. he's meant to be coming to arsenal, a club of arsenal's stature, with 50 million and a bunch of players that have been very much playing, for me, in second gear. so his coaching ability is going to have to really get going instantly, and he's going to have to find some gems in the transfer market. you know with five live now, you can have cameras in the studios, last night, david 0rnstein, the correspondent who we are going to be talking to shortly, he broke the story, he was straight on air, and ian wright you could see him, throwing his hat in the air, saying, what's going on. he didn't know it was coming. —— he threw his hands in the air. the countdown is well and truly on for liverpool. four days to go until the champions league final against real madrid. the team went through a work out for the cameras at anfield yesterday.

there have though been complaints from fans over the cost of tickets on re—sale websites, with one ticket priced at more than £1a,000. pretty expensive to get there as well. one player who'll be moving to the continent next season is eni aluko. she's leaving chelsea after winning a league and cup double this season. she's tight lipped on where she'll go, but is optimistic that she'll be able to get back into the england squad. and someone on his way out of international sport is england's defence coach paul gustard. he'll become head of rugby at premiershire side harlequins after england's tour of south africa next month. his departure means england will be without a permanent defence and attack coach with the world cup injapan just 15 months away. that is a very good appointment for harlequins. thank you, sally. david 0rnstein, who broke the arsenal story last night, will be with us at 7:30am. more news this morning.

police drivers in england and wales could soon have more legal protection if they are involved in a crash. the home office has developed the plans after a surge in crimes involving scooters and motorbikes in the last three years. our home affairs correspondent, danny shaw, reports. should a police officer behind the wheel be treated differently to other motorists? these police in kent are taking part in advanced driving training. in this exercise, the white skoda is the target vehicle. the three police cars perform what's known as a hard stop, boxing the skoda in and arresting the suspect. but police are concerned their skills in training are not recognised by the law. they carry out 10,000 pursuits across england and wales every year. if they break the speed limit orjump a red light while pursuing a criminal, they can be prosecuted just as a member of the public can. now the home office is planning to change that. police driving skills and training will be taken into account by investigators. police will have to show

their tactics are necessary and proportionate. and they will be assessed by the standards of other competent police drivers, not by the standards of other motorists. police drivers will always operate within the training, within the law. and what it will mean is that they will have the confidence that when they are discharging their duties, that they are going to be judged against somebody with the same amount of training and knowledge and skill that one of their colleagues would have rather than a member of the public. the home office also wants to dispel what it says is the myth that police can't pursue a moped or motorcycle rider who isn't wearing a helmet. the law will be amended to make it clear that a biker without a helmet is responsible for their own decision to drive dangerously. danny shaw, bbc news. we can talk more about this now with sgnt tim rogers from the police federation. thank you for talking to us this morning. you have 18 years as a

traffic officer under your belt, taking part in pursuit the likes of which we have just seen in that film. give us an idea of how hard job it is to do at times. the news todayis job it is to do at times. the news today is absolutely welcome, and it can be no coincidence that it is being announced at the time of the police federation conference in birmingham. your reporter had it spot on, they are trained to a high standard, police officers, they are trained to deal with the modern day criminality that we have to try and address, especially with the spike in mopeds crime down in london. it's crazy that the skills and training is not recognised. 0fficers, when they are engaged in the pursuit, we are constantly managing risk, the risk of what the person that you are chasing is likely to cause, as they move forward, so an example from london, someone who has committed a

couple of robberies of individuals. what if the next robbery they commit is met with some resistance? and then that the distance is met with extreme violence, and has happened ina extreme violence, and has happened in a case in bromley, the person is murdered? it is an extreme example but this is the sort of thing that officers have to deal with on a daily basis. having legislation change will have the confidence given to them to use that training properly. if you look at police federation figures, only one officer has been prosecuted for driving in a manner which was deemed to be illegal. are these changes actually necessary? absolutely, you look at 500,000 immediate response incidents every year, that is 500,000 opportunities. let's not lose sight of the fact that when things go right, police do not look at police driving. but when something outside of that officer's control, something that happened in a split second, someone runs out in front of them,

the officer will have no chance. but we analyse the driving and look backwards, and their standard has breached a careful and confidence so it isa breached a careful and confidence so it is a real predicament. it is like saying, there is a big hole in the road, how many people do we want to fall dummett before we fill it in? i know that there have been two officers charged recently. there are prolonged investigations that take upwards of two years and a lot of money for the taxpayer, so it's important that the law changes. the latest figures show a number of fatalities in police chase incidents is the highest in eight years. why is the highest in eight years. why is that and do you feel that that is an indication that even more training is required? an indication that even more training is required ?|j an indication that even more training is required? i am glad you have touched on the training, there has been a three—year project which has been a three—year project which has made sure that police driver training is at the best place it has

ever been. it is a tragedy every time someone loses their life on the road, obviously. 10,000 pursuits, i think the figures that the i/o pc least worth 38 deaths like —— worth 38 deaths last year. those individuals that the police are pursuing have got a decision to make, they do not have to carry on driving or riding recklessly, they can stop as they are lawfully required to do by the police perceiving them and the police should be able to use tactics which are appropriate to bring it to a safe conclusion. thank you very much for your time, sergeant tim rogers. let us know what you think about that. louise is in manchester city centre as we remember one year on since the manchester arena bomb this morning. we will be with with her shortly. first, let's catch up with the weather. today, kind of a

north—south divide because scotland and northern ireland, more cloud, england and wales will have more sunshine. it will be warm but we will have a few sharp showers here. that is only half the story, we have also got some rain in the forecast this morning. that is courtesy of the weather front which has produced the weather front which has produced the rain over scotland and northern ireland overnight, still a weakening feature this morning so the rain will fizzle out in the next few hours. some low cloud has come in from the north sea through the course of the night across eastern scotla nd course of the night across eastern scotland and north east england. so here, for you, it will be a grey day. the brightest skies will be the northern and western ours in scotland. after a bright start, the cloud coming in across northern ireland from the west. much of england and wales seeing a sunny day but cool along the north sea coast line with the onshore breeze. like yesterday, we will see some showers developed, heavy and thundery from

the south, possibly getting as far north of the midlands and wales. top temperatures today up to about 23. if you are heading off to the chelsea shower show, and you have a pollen allergy, do not forget that. we are looking at a dry day, we cannot rule out a shower completely but he will be lucky if you catch one. this evening and overnight, a lot of clear skies began, but cloud pushing in across inland, southern england and east anglia. the clearer skies will be towards the west where we will have the lowest temperatures. that is where we will have the sunshine first thing tomorrow morning. it will be quite dull start across eastern scotland, north—east england, central and southern england, east anglia but through the day the cloud will push right the way back onto the coastline, still with the onshore breeze it will feel cooler on the coast. temperatures up to 23, 2a or 25. and again the risk of a showers coming in across the south. as we

head into thursday, we still have theissue head into thursday, we still have the issue of the cloud coming in from the north sea, and through the day pushing back. and still there but showers coming in across southern counties of england. some could be heavy and thundery, temperatures up to about 20 or 21. thursday night into friday, the weather front producing the showery outbreaks will move that bit further north, it will feel quite humid in the south during friday. the lion's share of the sunshine will be scotland, the far north of northern england and northern ireland. thank you very much. this symbol, the humble worker bee, has always represented manchester. but after last year's arena bomb attack it brought feelings of unity and hope to the city. brea kfast‘s john maguire's outside our studio this morning with some artists who are creating something rather special.

in the piazza, you are up there in the studio, this is the main bbc office and studio in salford. the artists are tainting murals on the wall. the bee has been a historic civil symbol of the industrial nation, the industrial character of this city. it has now gone to in body something else, it is onto people in the form of tattoos, it is everywhere you go in this city, it is now a civic symbol to a symbol of the people. it has now become something which represented manchester's poignant present and future. music i used the logo of the "i heart mcr" and used the bee instead of the heart shape.

in manchester, the bee is, like, the heart of it, and that is what kept us all going. adam was in the audience at the manchester arena concert last year. i heard, like, a really loud bang and everyone stopped for a second or two. and then people just started running in different directions. his school is one of six in manchester painting pebbles for the blue peter garden. it is a way for the students to remember, to commemorate, but also to honour this city's resolve. shona was also at the gig. i think it's important that, a year later, we still let everyone know that we are not forgetting about the people that passed away. the victims and their families. i think it's important that we carry on raising money so that they can get back on their feet, all the people that have been affected by it. greater manchester police say that 800 people were physically or psychologically affected by the attack, which took 22 lives. the fund set up to help the victims has now reached more than £21 million.

we've actually spent around £20 million of that out to the families. both bereaved and seriously injured, as well as people with psychological trauma. i think it's notjust manchester. of course we are very proud of manchester people. they gave very generously. we had money from all across the country and all across the world. people wanted to offer support as they were removed, people wanted to offer support as they were moved, but also they want to offer solidarity with the people that were the victims of the attack. one of the most indelible ways people showed their support for those at the concert and for their city were the tattoos of the worker bee, the long—standing symbol of this industrious community. as queues formed outside tattoo shops, the donations rolled in. there were people queueing down the street. it was good how everyone was, like, pulling together and they were all in good spirits and everyone was kind of, like, in a good frame of mind with each other. and it was good too, like, do something.

and even as they queued, friendships were formed. the dayton family have stayed in touch with others waiting in line last year. when the call comes, people just... they get together. and we all contribute and we all help one another. it is beautiful. all races, creeds, colours, genders. having that one thing that unites everyone, and when you see someone, with another tattoo, it's like, i've got the bee! so it's a great thing to do. after an act that exemplified humanity at its cruellest, at its worst, so many stories now demonstrate humanity at its best. back outside the studio in the piazza, let's say hello to the artists that are working on the mural this morning. this is going to be absolutely packed, it'll be like

it's very own colony of worker bees later on. tell us your story, you are now doing this kind of thing full—time? are now doing this kind of thing full-time? yes, i'm a full-time illustrator. i do a lot of window work and that's where the idea for the 22 bees project came from. we will be drawing them on as many manchester businesses as possible as a sign of solidarity. we all do this for a living, it is another day for us for a living, it is another day for us but it is a special one. it has taken over the us but it is a special one. it has ta ken over the past us but it is a special one. it has taken over the past year, the 22 bees project because of the 22 people who died? yes, our original intention was very civil, we just wa nted intention was very civil, we just wanted to get 22 businesses to let us wanted to get 22 businesses to let us draw a bee on their window. that was two months ago and now we have got 23a businesses and counting, we have raised £73a,000 for the emergency fund for the people affected by the attack last year. it's a great way to show support, we

love that people can drive to the city and cds bees everywhere. they have been everywhere, they used to be hidden but now they are so obvious everywhere. yes, if you are a manchester person you know where to find them but it's lovely that the world knows us by our bees but what better way to spend the day than covering the city with them even more. there is something special about them, difficult to put your finger on special about them, difficult to put yourfinger on but it is special about them, difficult to put your finger on but it is sense of unity and moving forward. the bee had that meaning before. we are a city of workers, a city of people working together. after the attack, it has taken on a whole new meaning. all you need to do, you see the bee, whether it is on someone's am, the tattoos, or on a window, it hits you. now that bee is manchester. you do not see a bee and think of

anything else, it is us.|j do not see a bee and think of anything else, it is us. i will let you crack on, you have a lot of work to do. we will let them get on with the work, now the news, travel and weather around the country. good morning, i'm asad ahmad. police drivers are to get more protection if they're involved in a crashin a bid to tackle criminals on mopeds. it comes after a spike in moped related crime in london — leading to these proposals by the home office. it aims to tackle the "myth" as they call it — that officers can't pursue riders who aren't wearing helmets. the rules will say that riders who don't wear a helmet are responsible for their own safety and deciding to drive dangerously. a man has been found dead following what's been described as a "horrifying" knife attack in islington. it happened near the town hall at around 6.30 yesterday evening. some residents were prevented from going home while police carried out investigations, with the nearby church opening its doors overnight for food and shelter for locals who needed it.

no arrests have been made. as the public inquiry into the grenfell tower fire begins its second day, a gardening project set up in the area to help residents affected by the disaster continues to heal wounds. the ‘0live branch charity‘ was set—up by local people who say they wanted to bring ‘peace' to the lives of their neighbours. we kind of thought we could turn this into a legacy for this community and beyond. in north kensington, where our community has been affected by something so tragic, it's helped people here and it's helping the environment also so i think it's a win/win. let's have a look at the travel situation now. signalfailures signal failures affecting the victoria and metropolitan line. the good service elsewhere. 0n the roads — in islington, upper street is closed in both directions due

to a police investigation. let's have a check on the weather now with rich. good morning. it's set to be another sunny start to things this morning. there is a chance we could just see one or two showers around first thing, eventually, though, they will clear away and we are set to have some bright and dry conditions through the majority of this morning, over the lunchtime period and into this afternoon as well. any showers that we do see are mostly likely to be fairly light in nature. temperatures up to 23 celsius so still feeling pretty warm. and as we head into this evening and overnight, staying fairly dry as well. cloud will steadily build up as we head towards the early hours of tomorrow morning which means temperatures are not really going to fall away too much, down to eight or nine celsius tonight. as we head through the rest of the week, we can see it's staying fairly bright and quite dry. there is a chance we could see one or two showers, perhaps a rumble or two of thunder, maybe a flash of

lightning here or there. as we head towards the weekend, you can see steadily the temperatures are beginning to pick up and by next week we could be into the high mid—20s. things staying fairly warm as we head through this week with some more sunny spells on the way. vanessa feltz has her breakfast show from 7am on bbc radio london. she will be speaking to the chairman of the much about police federation shortly about the new rules from the home office to give greater protection to police drivers. back in halfan protection to police drivers. back in half an hour. join me then. hello, and welcome to a special edition of breakfast, live from the heart of manchester. we're marking one year since the bomb attack which claimed 22 lives at an ariana grande concert. a flower festival is also being held to remember the victims — inspired by the hundreds

of thousands of bouquets that were left in st ann's square after the attack. in manchester they are remembering what happened is a many ways. this is one of a row of trees of hope upon which people can leave messages. over the next few hours, we'll hear from people who were at the concert, and from members of the emergency also on the programme this morning... wood burners come under fire in the government's new "clean air" strategy — but campaigners say the plan doesn't do enough to tackle pollution from cars. police officers are to get more legal protection if they're involved in a crash on duty — in a bid to tackle criminals on mopeds. is our data safe on facebook?

boss mark zuckerberg will appear before eu regulators later to face questions over that massive data breach — and how it protects our information. in sport, a surprise from arsenal as they prepape to appoint the former paris saint—germain boss unai emery as arsene wenger‘s successor. carol has the weather. good morning. it's cloudy start across scotland and northern ireland with patchy rain that will fizzle out. it will brighten up in northern ireland, scotland, but for england and wales, sunshine from the word go with showers developing, some of which could be heavy and thundery. i will have more details in about 15 minutes. it's long been the symbol of manchester, but the humble worker bee took on a new meaning after last year's attack — helping bring unity and hope to the city. this morning, artists will create a very special installation for us —

right here on the windows of our studios. they have been working on that throughout the morning. good morning. welcome to the special edition of bbc breakfast. 0ne welcome to the special edition of bbc breakfast. one year ago 22 people were killed in that bomb attack just down the people were killed in that bomb attackjust down the street behind me in the centre of manchester. today we are commemorating what happened. this was the plays where thousands of people burst into spontaneous song, saint anne ‘s square, demonstrating their true mancunian spirit. today, special tributes will be planned across the city. and this i want to show you is just one of them, it is a tree of hope. even in the early hours, people were arriving you to write

m essa g es of people were arriving you to write messages of love, support and hope. this is one of them, just one year on, such a tragic waste of life. these messages will be kept. prince william and the prime minister theresa may will attend a service in manchester cathedral later and there will be a brand minute silence at 2:30pm. so many young people at that concert, and so many of them amongst those who died. we have heard from ariana grande today, she has tweeted, saying, thinking of you all today and every day, as so many other people are. fiona trott has been to meet a mother and daughter who were at the concert that night. the pips sound. police in manchester say a number of people have been killed and others injured at manchester arena after at least one explosion was reported. we've just heard from greater manchester police that they are linking this to terrorism. every time i close my eyes, ijust see it and hear it. the only way i can describe it was ants out of a colony. that noise went off and then

everyone just went silent and then everyone just started running. for leanne and her daughter lainey, it's still very raw. i heard a massive bang. at first i thought it were a balloon because she let down loads of balloons, like, that big. and then i heard a girl in front of me shout, "it's a bomb". it was a terrorist attack that claimed the lives of 22 people. the youngest was just eight years old. hundreds like leanne have needed intensive therapy. i went suicidal, i couldn't cope any more. if i wouldn't have gone to that session, i don't think i'd be here. that's the first time i've said that in front of lainey. the attack was carried out by this man, salman abedi. the bomb he carried contained nearly 2000 pieces of metal. prosecutors have asked for his brother hashem to be extradited from libya.

there is a warrant for his arrest. negotiations are tricky, they're delicate, they're being carried out by the government and it's for them and the libyans to work that through. i would just hope that we are able to see a trial in the uk because of the families of the victims, and those injured and traumatised. one, two, three. after her experience, leanne is studying to be a mental health nurse. both she and lainey are travelling to manchester today, a city coming together to reflect. let me tell you what the prime minister has said about the anniversary. writing in the manchester evening news she said, the targeting of the young and innocent as they enjoyed a carefree night out was an act of sickening cowardice, she said. it was designed

to strike at the heart of our values and way of life with the aim of breaking our resolve and dividing us, and it has failed. when you speak to families like leanne's, you get the sense that they feel the same way, like thousands of others we re same way, like thousands of others were coming here today. it has been devastating and thrust rating but they will not think about the attacker today. one mother said that she will not mention his name, he doesn't deserve that recognition. it is about coming together in manchester to reflect and to celebrate life. that is what they will be doing at the cathedral later today, louise. thanks fiona. the messages of support people have been writing on these trees have been writing on these trees have been really moving. and also a message that it is ok not to feel 0k. we'll message that it is ok not to feel ok. we'll be talking to people how to cope and how to explain to children on this one year anniversary about what happened. it

is very clear this city is still standing together. and so many things are planned in the city and throughout the day, and at 10:31 tonight bells will ring across the city at the exact moment that bomb went off. we will be speaking to survivors, to the ambulance services and those who went to help them. in the meantime, dan is here with the rest of the day's news. ijust want to show you the front page of the manchester evening news. they have a heart made up of 22 worker bees, the symbol of manchester for so long that was used so powerfully after those attacks last year. below that the names of the 22 who died, including the youngest of those who was only eight years old, saffie

rose roussos. we shall continue to work at the aftermath of that this morning. i can bring you up—to—date with some of the other news around today. local councils in england are to be given new powers to curb the use of wood burners to heat homes. the idea is part of a new clean air strategy — which aims to reduce the amount of harmful particles in the air that can cause serious health problems. greater legal protection could be given to police drivers who are involved in a road crash during a pursuit under plans by the home office. the reforms — which would affect forces in england and wales — follow concerns among officers that they risk prosecution for careless or dangerous driving if they chase criminals at high—speed. i think the main thing to get across is that police officers will always operate within their training and within the law. and what it will mean is, they will have the confidence that when they are discharging their duties, they're going to be judged against somebody with the same amount of training, knowledge and skill that one of their colleagues will have, rather than a member of the public. a murder investigation's started after a man was stabbed

to death on a busy street in north london. officers were called at around 6:30pm last night where the unnamed victim was pronounced dead at the scene. it brings the number of murders in the capital so far this year to more than 65. the bbc understands the government is considering whether to scrap some of the controversial nhs reforms introduced in england in 2012. the changes — which have been widely criticised — sought to give gps more control over health budgets by replacing primary care trusts with clinical commissioning groups. it's thought the prime minister is keen to deliver a new long—term plan for the health service. tesco is removing best before dates from the majority of its fresh fruit and vegetables to prevent food waste. the supermarket giant decided to do it after enviromental campaigners said they confused shoppers, and encouraged throwing edible produce away.

i showed you the front page of the manchester evening news. most of the papers have pictures of this. the duke and duchess of sussex have released three official photographs from their wedding. the first picture shows them on the steps on the east terrace of windsor castle. here they are with the bridesmaids and page boys involved in the wedding. plenty of them. and here's the group photo of all of them with close family — including the queen. harry and meghan will carry out their first royal engagement as a married couple today, at the prince of wales' 70th birthday celebrations at buckingham palace. it's 11 minutes past seven on tuesday morning. it's a year since a suicide bomber targeted a concert at the manchester arena killing 22 people and injuring hundreds more. services will be taking place across the whole city today. louise is in st ann's square this morning.

iam here i am here because it has become a focal point after what happened. much of the city was locked down. this is where people came in their thousands to lay flowers, pay tributes and to stand together in silence. you remember that moment when after the silence the crowd burst into spontaneous song. it is clear manchester has a special relationship with music. and music is helping some of the people who we re is helping some of the people who were there on that night, affected by the attack, to get through what has happened. we met the ‘manchester survivors choir‘ — here's their story. the choir is just a brilliant thing. there was about 15, 16 of us the first time. it was the singing that brought us together. i was really afraid, really afraid of coming into manchester, ijust didn't want to be here. this choir is enough reason to put

ourselves through that pain. # we walked the line... it's just really nice that you can just leave all your problems at the door. we all kind of understand each other, like, more than you would with, just, like, a normal person. we were at the concert with our two 11—year—old daughters. and i know that lisa would have done exactly the same thing as me. as a mum, my priority was to get lisa, my daughter, you know, to safety. and i left without her and i do regret that. i'm still here, you can't get rid of me that quick. on the night that it happened, when i went back into my room, i didn't sleep the whole night. i still felt like they did it to hurt us, not anyone else, just our family. and even though i knew it wasn't, ijust had that in my head that they were still coming

to get us. she was just very quiet, and in her room, not socialising, having nightmares, not really telling me, just tired. sometimes it would be the night, or, like, it would be different scenarios of it happening again. you take for granted feeling happy. and i had a shock when i wasjust driving in my car picking the girls up from school, and i experienced a moment of happiness, and that was probably only two months ago, wasn't it? and i was like, gosh, i forgot that feeling. that's really sad. we come together, proper northerners with our buffet and our tea and our cake. and we are going to keep going and it's not going to stop people doing the things that they enjoy. # and i'll rise up, i'll rise like the day # i'll rise up, i'll rise unafraid and do it a thousand times again... the words just mean

so much to everybody. we were all there, and we're all here now. # i'll rise up, in spite of the ache, i'll rise up... we've been through something really difficult, but we do want to stand up and rise up and show everybody that, you know, we are carrying on and we're going to be positive and will make something positive out of this. # for you. # applause what a wonderful choir. we'll be hearing from them later in the programme. joining us now is carys crow who co—founded the manchester survivors choir after she and a friend were caught up in the attack, usman ahmed who was steward at the arena on the night

of the bombing, and nick taylor from the peace foundation. thank you forjoining us. i know it's a difficult day. you other co—founder of this choir. why do you think it was important to be part of it and to start their? we noticed people saying that they were not getting the help they needed. but there is a lot of support out there. a lot of people didn't want to talk about it. and music seemed a way to get people together, because we had all got together to go to a concert so we thought we could do it again. and being back to manchester together and singing together, its a completely different kind of therapy, compared to just sitting down one—to—one with a therapist, which is kind of intense, especially when you're online, eight years old.

i know that you were there on the night and that today is another difficult day. explain a little bit. you were working as a steward. i was walking on a steward at stile three, just at position 115, so, the explosion goes off and i'm on that side of the arena and i could just see 3000, 4000 people running down the concourse and my initial instinct was to run because i thought somebody had a gun. you did a very brave thing. you went to help. as i run a man stopped me and told me tojust help. as i run a man stopped me and told me to just tell you but you slow down and calm down and exit slowly, and as we regrouped, my supervisor said to me, said that the

whole group, if anybody has any first aid training, basic first aid training, so when i heard that, i didn't know what was behind those doors, but it wasjust didn't know what was behind those doors, but it was just that instinct, i wanted to help. i ran through those doors and that's when... you probably don't want to say what you saw, it must have been upsetting. and how can you help these young people? we're working these young people? we're working the 700 and people —— 750 people now, many of them from right across the north. and professionals like us are on the team. i was at the arena la st are on the team. i was at the arena last night. we decided to spend the evening with them. there are many ways that people can get involved and do things. art, singing is very good. it is not all about, necessarily. most people are resilient, and we are here to help

them cope and recover. as a young muslim, how does it affect you, what happened? when i first find out that it was our muslim, it was just a false image. iwas it was our muslim, it was just a false image. i was very angry. and it was our muslim, it was just a false image. iwas very angry. and i felt quite guilty as well, because i felt, what if i could do something, reach out to people and guide them to the right path, the true meaning of islam, and there was a lot of anxiety and stress going out in public. i always thought someone mightjust give public. i always thought someone might just give me public. i always thought someone mightjust give me a racist comment or whatever. it was a true shock to me. hopefully i can give out the message that that isn't the true meaning of islam, and my sole

intention as soon as i entered those doors was to help and to save as many people as possible. it wasn't anything else. it was an incredibly brave thing to do. and it also had a personal impact. is it important to mark the anniversary for you? yes, we wa nt mark the anniversary for you? yes, we want to commemorate, we were sort of like a family. thousands of people there who were ariana grande fans. then 22 people and that family have been lost. it is like part of you is gone. singing one last time, and then you realise they sang that for the last time. and you imagine the arena without them singing it any more. it is important for you to mark the anniversary? very important. it isjust reminding

ourselves of those we lost. it is interesting what you say, it is not the end, is it? that is a feeling that you get on the city today, and it is an important message. that you get on the city today, and it is an important messagem that you get on the city today, and it is an important message. it is a very important message. we were set up very important message. we were set up 25 years ago. people are still suffering from terrorism at this time. they can get help, organisations like the peace foundation are there for them. this will help so many people, and today is all about that, as well. thank you very much for your time. you will be singing later on. yes, just to show the positivity and the resilience that manchester showed.” will be listening to you. i'm

looking forward to that. you're watching bbc breakfast. here's carol with a look at this morning's weather. there is plenty of sunshine around today across england and wales with the risk of some showers for the north. we've got some rain at the moment, extending from central scotla nd moment, extending from central scotland towards the moray firth. we have some low cloud along the north sea coastline from eastern scotland to northumberland. for the rest of the north sea coastline and onshore breeze making it cooler. and to the west we are looking at a fair bit of sunshine. through the day we will see further showers developing, coming up from the south, some of those heavy and thundery. reaching the midlands and wales later in the day. it should brighten up in the west in northern ireland. this evening and overnight, more cloud coming in from the north sea. some of those will get further inland. it will not be as cold in the east, in the west under clearer skies, it

will be, but that is where we see the sunshine posting tomorrow, in the sunshine posting tomorrow, in the west. a clearer start in the east. —— the sunshine first thing tomorrow. cutting the amount of smoke from household fires isjust one of the government's ideas to tackle toxic emissions. ministers want to halve the number of people exposed to dangerous pollution in england by 2025. joining me from westminster is howard cox from fair fuel uk and camaigner paul morozzo from greenpeace. good morning to you both. thank you for coming in. iwill ask good morning to you both. thank you for coming in. i will ask you that question i was asking you when you joined us on the sofa. is this a good thing from the government even though it is not exactly what you want? it recognises the who

standards on particulates on wood—burning and agricultural ammonia, but it needs to deal with diesel vehicles, lethal levels of nitrogen dioxide, causing around a0,000 premature deaths, harming the development of children's lungs. any clea n development of children's lungs. any clean air strategy has to deal with theissue clean air strategy has to deal with the issue of diesel vehicles and nitrogen dioxide. it is a step forward , nitrogen dioxide. it is a step forward, but it has got to address the area of transport. why doesn't it? i'm sorry to say i disagree with most of what you're fellow interviewee says. diesel drivers, the whole nox levels are declining rapidly. there are ways and solutions available to the government, additives and retrofits which will reduce nox and particulates. we welcome michael gove looking at other celsius of

pollution. what we are looking for at this moment of time is that drivers are not hit hard in the pocket again, which is what all the greens want to do. the roadside is where people are, on the roads. there are solutions available that don't pick people in the pocket. levels at the roadside are not falling fast at all. if anything they are stable. we need action to deal with nitrogen dioxide where it isa deal with nitrogen dioxide where it is a problem. what about the point that cars are getting less and less, there are fewer pollutants in them, and they are getting safer for the environment. that is only partially true. the tests that have been put into place, they do have some impact on the pollution standards of cars but they are not good enough, not high enough. diesel cars are allowed to emit three times more than their petrol equivalents. it has been shown repeatedly that they are way

over the standards. so we need action to curtail the number of diesel cars in city centres. howard, do you accept the argument from campaigners like the british lung foundation that transport is the main culprit when it comes to air pollution? we don't accept that. i disagree totally with your other guy in the studio. the fact is that nox is falling, particulates are falling, and transport technology is improving incredibly quickly and the air is getting cleaner as a result. what we need to do and i am inviting the greens to join what we need to do and i am inviting the greens tojoin us, can we ask the greens tojoin us, can we ask the department of environment to look at alternative ways of curbing emissions, not hitting people in the pocket? we say to michael gove he should be investing in public transport, walking and cycling, strategies to get people out of their cars strategies to get people out of theircars in strategies to get people out of their cars in cities. we do also call for other things as well. everything in that studio was

delivered on a truck, 96% of everything in people's homes was delivered on a truck and can't go on the back of a bicycle, on the back ofa the back of a bicycle, on the back of a bus and we need to work on additives and retrofits, all these things are available and cost—effective. things are available and cost-effective. can you answer that point? there was an issue with vans, but we can change the way that we do distribution and when we talk about the economy we should be talking about countries like japan and china are investing heavily in electrification and that the uk doesn't do the same, we will be left behind. i don't disagree with that at all. i am glad that we have found some common ground right at the end! you mentioned michael gove couple of times. we did ask the environment secretary to be on this programme, but he declined. please let us know what you think about that. it is something that means a lot to paul and howard and others he regularly

contact the programme, as well. let's get the news, travel and weather wherever you're watching. national headlines on the wayjust after 730. good morning, i'm asad ahmad. police drivers are to get more protection if they're involved in a crash, in a bid to tackle criminals on mopeds. it comes after a spike in moped related crime in london leading to these proposals by the home office. it aims to tackle the "myth", as they call it, that officers can't pursue riders who aren't wearing helmets. the rules will say that riders who don't wear a helmet are responsible for their own safety and deciding to drive dangerously. a man has been found dead following what's been described as a "horrifying" knife attack in islington. it happened near the town hall at around 6.30 yesterday evening. some residents were prevented from going home while police carried out investigations, with the nearby church opening its doors overnight for food and shelter for locals who needed it.

no arrests have been made. as the public inquiry into the grenfell tower fire begins its second day, a gardening project set up in the area to help residents affected by the disaster continues to heal wounds. the olive branch charity was set up by local people who say they wanted to bring "peace" to the lives of their neighbours. we kind of thought we could turn this into a legacy for this community and beyond. in north kensington, where our community has been affected by something so tragic, it's helped people here and it's helping the environment also so i think it's a win/win. let's have a look at the travel situation now. the victoria line has severe delays due to a signal failure. the metropolitan line has severe delays also because of a signal failure. on the roads, south lambeth road is closed in both

directions at the junction with old south lambeth road. that's due to a police investgation. in earl's court, one lane is closed for electricity work at the junction with trebovir road. let's have a check on the weather now with rich. good morning. it's set to be another sunny start to things this morning. there is a chance we could just see one or two showers around first thing, eventually, though, they will clear away and we are set to have some bright and dry conditions through the majority of this morning, over the lunchtime period and into this afternoon as well. any showers that we do see are mostly likely to be fairly light in nature. temperatures up to 23 celsius so still feeling pretty warm. and as we head into this evening and overnight, staying fairly dry as well. cloud will steadily build up as we head towards the early hours of tomorrow morning which means temperatures are not really going to fall away too much, down to eight or nine celsius tonight. as we head through the rest of the week, we can see it's staying fairly bright and quite dry. there is a chance we could see one or two showers, perhaps a rumble or two of thunder, maybe a flash of lightning here or there.

as we head towards the weekend, you can see steadily the temperatures are beginning to pick up and by next week we could be into the high mid—20s. things staying fairly warm as we head through this week with some more sunny spells on the way. vanessa feltz has her breakfast show from seven on bbc radio london. it was on that show that former mayor ken livingstone made comments which some claim were anti—semitic — leading to his resignation from the party last night. and mr livingstone will be speaking to vanessa just after 8. hello, this is breakfast with dan walker. louise is in manchester city centre for you this morning, we will be with her later on. the duke of cambridge and the prime minister will attend a service of remembrance for the victims of the manchester bomb attack later today. it's a year since a suicide bomber killed 22 people as they left an ariana grande concert at the manchester arena. 800 people were left with physical

and psychological injuries. local councils in england are to be given new powers to curb the use of wood burners to heat homes. the idea is part of a new clean air strategy which aims to reduce the amount of harmful particles in the air that can cause serious health problems. greater legal protection could be given to police drivers who are involved in a road crash during a pursuit under plans by the home office. the reforms, which would affect forces in england and wales, follow concerns among officers that they risk prosecution for careless or dangerous driving if they chase criminals at high—speed. a murder investigation's started after a man was stabbed to death on a busy street in north london. officers were called at around 6.30pm last night where the unnamed victim was pronounced dead at the scene. it brings the number of murders in the capital so far this year to more than 65. facebook boss mark zuckerberg is answering questions from eu politicians over whether our data is safe on the site later today. ben's got more on this.

this is a huge story about cambridge analytical? yes, this is the latest in a growing backlash against the social network. but we need to wind back quite a way back to establish how we got here. back in 201a a couple of hundred thousand facebook users took an online quiz to find out their personality type. sounds innocent enough. but it was designed to harvest their data and their friends' data. in all 87 million people had their data collected. a whistle—blower says it was sold to cambridge analytica and used to target key voters in the us election in 2016. cambridge analytica says that's not true. but facebook and politics has become a toxic mix. today will be the first time mark zuckerberg has appeared before politicians since he was hauled

in front of the us congress. let's have a look what he said then. we didn't take a broad enough view of our responsibility. it was a big mistake. it was my mistake. and i'm sorry. i started facebook, i run it, and i'm responsible for what happens here. facebook has changed its terms and conditions recently. it wants to be clear it is doing something. but there's more going on here. this weekend even bigger changes come into force. you may have seen all the emails about what's known as gdpr, it will give everyone in the uk and the rest of the eu new rights to access and delete any data that companies hold on us. they will be keen to make sure that facebook are complying with the new legislation. companies will have to

delete data on us if we do not want them to have it. we will have more at 8:20am, damian collins, the chair of the digital culture, media and sport committee will be talking to us. barack and michelle obama have teamed up with netflix to produce films and tv shows. exact details of the programming have not been announced but netflix said it may include scripted series and documentaries. cute alert! nine ducklings found orphaned in essex have been adopted by an unlikely new dad. fred the labrador took the ducklings under his wing, after they were found waddling around last week without their mother. they‘ re now inseparable, according to the dog's owner, and enjoy hanging out by the water. hopefully there are still nine of them and fred is doing a lovelyjob

there. you can put anything on a dog's head and they love it. is there anything cuter than a chick? the cutest thing ever. at my little boy's school, they have had chicks hatch, my son named his chick wednesday, and my son's friend named itjeff lad. wednesday, and my son's friend named it jeff lad. what a magnificent set of names! that was essex, not what i said which was a commendation of essex and sussex! big news for arsenalfans. so interesting developments at arsenal overnight. they look to have picked the successor to arsene wenger, and its former paris saint germain manager unai emery. the spaniard is a suprise pick as the club had been expected to hire former player mikel arteta. arsenal are set to appoint unai emery as their new manager. emery emerged as the unanimous choice to succeed arsene wenger. so who is he...? emery spent most of his playing career in spain's second division after rising through the ranks at his home town club real sociedad.

his playing career was ended through injury in 200a while at lorca in the spanish third tier. he was offered the manager's job there and later went on to manage almeria, valencia and spartak moscow. but it was in sevilla where he flourished winning the europa league three seasons in a row. and at paris saint germain he won four domestic cup trophies and took the league title just weeks before he left. i'm joined now by our sports news correspondent david ornstein. this is the man who alerted us to this last night. what do you know and how did you find it out? this had been brewing for quite a long time in terms of the arsenal appointment. they begin to conduct a very thorough, detailed, diligent process , ever very thorough, detailed, diligent process, ever since arsene wenger announced he would be standing aside at the end of the season. they worked their way through a long list onto a shortlist and from that it

emerged that macau the manchester city assistant manager —— mikel arteta, the manchester city assista nt arteta, the manchester city assistant manager and former arsenal player, was ahead. we thought at that point that max allegri from juventus was the key man. but as time moved on, it seemed that mikel arteta was not the key man, and then the ray emery came through the ranks and it will be emery who takes the job. why him, not the other candidates? it is a decision which will divide opinion, it already has among arsenal fans. he's a6, will divide opinion, it already has among arsenalfans. he's a6, he has used on his side. he comes from paris st germain where he won the league title and he has 1a domestic

cups, —— he has one four domestic cups. he has also won the europa league with severe, which is what arsenal is playing in. he is happy to slip into a continental model of football, his input is not great, he will need to work on that. but he is seen as a safe pair of hands, perhaps not the gamble or the huge name that many are expecting but arsenal are happy with their decision. we should hearfrom them all later this week. succeeding arsene wenger after 22 years, not an easyis arsene wenger after 22 years, not an easy is set of shoes to fell. he caught havoc in the newspaper industry, you broke the news at 7:a5pm, and they have all had to adjust their back pages very hastily! that is how we like it! england have started their training camp ahead of the world cup. here's the squad arriving at st george's park. it seems like a long old time

for a training camp withjust over three weeks to go until the world cup, but don't forget they've got a couple of friendlies to play before they fly to russia. they are going to be together for a long time. what are they going to be doing to keep themselves entertained? playing fifa! other games are available. eni aluko's going to be playing in europe next seasons. she's leaving chelsea after winning a league and cup double this season. she's not said where she's going yet, but is optimistic that she'll be able to get back into the england squad. and someone on his way out of international sport is england's defence coach paul gustard. he'll become head of rugby at premiershire side harlequins after england's tour of south africa next month. his departure leaves england without a permanent defence and attack coach with the world cup injapan just 15 months away. iam i am saying just 15 months away, it isa i am saying just 15 months away, it is a reasonable amount of time. thank you very much, and nice to speak to you as well, david. a year ago today in manchester, 22 people were killed

in the deadliest terror attack in the uk since the london bombings in 2005. seven of them were children, the youngestjust eight years old. louise is in st ann's square for us this morning. the reason that we have come here to st ann's square, many people will remember that this became a focal point after the attacks. so many thousands of people made their way here and they have been here today in the early hours of this morning, people leaving messages of hope. i wa nt to people leaving messages of hope. i want to talk about the community and how it has been coping. i'm joined now by arch deacon karen lund, rabbi robyn ashworth—steen and fesl reza—khan, from british muslim voice. you were on the panel, so many things came out of that, it was really striking how they community responded on that night. absolutely, lots of heroic efforts from everyone

in the community. lots of individuals who were around to support and hold the hand of individuals who were suffering in the community. they were in great shock, the community, but from the perspective of the churches, and here we are in this st ann's square, for 300 years, people have been praying and churches have been open for support. and that continued right to that time. we have been seeing that continuing this morning. asa seeing that continuing this morning. as a community leader, a muslim community leader, what was your reaction at the time and when you're on? iwas reaction at the time and when you're on? i was not a community leader at the time, i wasjust a normal ordinary mancunian going about his business. i had no experience of organising anything. what hit it for me,| organising anything. what hit it for me, i live three minutes from the arena where this happened. sol me, i live three minutes from the arena where this happened. so i was one of the first people on the scene andl one of the first people on the scene and i rememberthat night very vividly. going there, the blue

lights, people walking away, the panic, the sense of frustration, knowing that fellow mancunians needed me but i could not do anything. and i didn't want to make the situation worse. this square, i remember starting with a few flowers, and it's turning into a carpet. what happens is, you go into a sense of denial. even three or four hours afterwards, i could not believe that had happened here on my doorstep. this stuff happens on the tv screen. i turn on your show, that is where i see it, not on my doorstep. i remember saying to my fiancee, even months beforehand, because she travelled extensively and she has experienced something like this already in another country, she said, could it happen here? i said, country, she said, could it happen here? isaid, if country, she said, could it happen here? i said, if it does, it will happen in major european capital, not in manchester. so i was in shock and denial. and he wanted to do something to change things? yes, for

too long people like myself, ordinary britishness —— british muslims, our boys has not been presented in media. there has been a vacuum presented in media. there has been a vacuum and partly it is our fault for not standing up sooner. we have left a vacuum into which fringe elements have stepped in. and they have exploited it and their voices have exploited it and their voices have been amplified way beyond what they represent. that is why this decision was made to come together and let the rest of the community know where we stand. there has been a real fundamental shift in know where we stand. there has been a realfundamental shift in many ways. manchester is always a standing together. as a mancunian, how did the city respond and how did you respond? my first reaction was absolute pain, fear and sorrow. i was born in manchester and i had one of my first dates in the arena and that place symbolises the spirit of manchester, about dance and love and be together. it is that pain and

darkness that has been spoken about a lot, it's using that to create change. it's because of that. i think one of the roles as community leader is recognising that those kind of attacks in gender fear, darkness and pain and they want to increase that. manchester responded ina different increase that. manchester responded in a different way and the different choice in how it responded. we know there are so many ways in which the city is paying tribute, there is a service later in the cathedral, is it important to mark anniversary? absolutely, as human beings we appreciate ritual, it's important for us to mark beginnings and it's important to mark endings. i guess this is intentional, it's saying that we have to remember to support those who are suffering. but also to come together and be mutually supportive at a really difficult and painful time. supportive at a really difficult and painfultime. you have supportive at a really difficult and painful time. you have already been remembering, you are part of the service today? absolutely, and it's

very mancunian. the response that we had a year ago was on the basis of a lot of ha rd had a year ago was on the basis of a lot of hard work that had been done in the community. manchester has a proliferation of associations, we get invited to quite a lot ofjewish muslim forums, the hindu jewish association, so much work is going on. so we are already brothers and sisters and it was standing together. it feels very natural to come back into the space it is not just once a year, this happens weekly, people have relationships. it is the reality of being a mancunian. and that's something that he would echo? -- you would echo? absolutely, a year on this is a process of healing, they wanted to divide us and this is the opposite. something interesting we have learned after the last ten months of doing a lot of work behind the scenes. this is the politicians, the organisations, the institutions, they are not the ones who are going to solve the issues that we have. it's ordinary people, faith leaders,

normal people like you and i, and the root cause of all of this has been for a long time, we have not shared each other's lives. we work together, dropped off the kid at the school gates at the morning, we live next door two each other but we have not really shared each other's lives in many communities. that's going to be the key. excellent talk you, thank you for your time. we can confirm to carol, it is a bit chilly out! it israeli quite cold! thank you —— it is really quite cold! thank you forjoining us. you are not wrong but the temperature will pick up. we have cloud and splashes of rain across pa rt cloud and splashes of rain across part of the north, and in the south, we will have sunshine and showers developing. other different is producing rain in scotland and northern ireland but it is fizzling out. —— a weather front is producing

rain. it is still going to be cloudy, low cloud coming in from the north sea as far south as northumberland. a cloudy start, the rain still at 9am across scotland. cloudy across northern ireland, it will brighten up through the west. for much of the rest of england and wales, a dry and sunny start. a few showers across part of the south—east coast line across sussex, essex and kent. we will see further showers develop, across southern counties, they will get in towards midland and wales but they will be hit and miss. if you are going to be chelsea flower show today, you are looking at a largely dry day. we cannot rule out a shower, but he will be unlucky if you catch one. we will have an onshore breeze as well which is pegging back the temperatures. the cloud coming in from the northsea will be more extensive tonight, so not just across eastern will be more extensive tonight, so notjust across eastern scotland and the north—east of england, inland as

well. east anglia also affected by that cloud. towards the west, we clearer skies. first thing tomorrow, a lot of sunshine in western areas, and in parts of northern scotland. a much brighter and drier day with more sunshine across northern ireland and scotland. meanwhile all of the cloud that has come inland will push back to the north sea coastline through the day, and an onshore flow will mean it feels cooler. in the sunshine, highs of 23 or 2a, maybe even 25. forfurther comment —— on thursday, the same note, cloud coming in and then pushing back through the day. sunshine for scotland, northern england, northern ireland, the midlands and wales, but a weather front coming up from the south introducing some heavy showers across the southern counties of

inland and southern wales. that will move northwards thursday into friday, heavy showers with thunderstorms. humid buti friday, heavy showers with thunderstorms. humid but i did but ahead of it, dry weather and fine weather. —— humid behind that. nothing to write home about temperature wise, 15 in the north, 21 in the south. thank you, carol, more weather later on. this symbol, the humble worker bee, has always represented manchester but after last year's arena bomb attack it brought feelings of unity. thank you to all of you who have got in contact with us today, talking about the wind year anniversary. this one says, a year since my worst ever shift as children's intensive ca re ever shift as children's intensive care doctor in manchester. sam has said, unreal to think it is already a year, the victims, families and friends are in my thoughts. mark is a mancunian watching in denmark and he says, he will be drawing one of

these manchester bees on the window of his house later on today. john maguire has been looking more into what it all means. music i used the logo of the "i heart mcr" and used the bee instead of the heart shape. in manchester, the bee is, like, the heart of it, and that is what kept us all going. adam was in the audience at the manchester arena concert last year. i heard, like, a really loud bang and everyone stopped for a second or two. and then people just started running in different directions. his school is one of six in manchester painting pebbles for the blue peter garden. it is a way for the students to remember, to commemorate, but also to honour this city's resolve. shona was also at the gig. i think it's important that, a year later, we still let everyone

know that we are not forgetting about the people that passed away. the victims and their families. i think it's important that we carry on raising money so that they can get back on their feet, all the people that have been affected by it. greater manchester police say that 800 people were physically or psychologically affected by the attack, which took 22 lives. the fund set up to help the victims has now reached more than £21 million. we've actually spent around £20 million of that out to the families. both bereaved and seriously injured, as well as people with psychological trauma. i think it's notjust manchester. of course we are very proud of manchester people. they gave very generously. we had money from all across the country and all across the world. people wanted to offer support as they were moved, but also they want to offer solidarity with the people that were the victims of the attack. one of the most indelible ways people showed their support for those at the concert and for their city were the tattoos

of the worker bee, the long—standing symbol of this industrious community. as queues formed outside tattoo shops, the donations rolled in. there were people queueing down the street. it was good how everyone was, like, pulling together and they were all in good spirits and everyone was kind of, like, in a good frame of mind with each other. and it was good too, like, do something. and even as they queued, friendships were formed. the dayton family have stayed in touch with others waiting in line last year. when the call comes, people just... they get together. and we all contribute and we all help one another. it is beautiful. all races, creeds, colours, genders. having that one thing that unites everyone, and when you see someone, with another tattoo, it's like, i've got the bee! so it's a great thing to do. after an act that exemplified humanity at its cruellest, at its worst, so many stories now

demonstrate humanity at its best. we are live outside the studios here in salford, and we have three artists, jenny, myra and amber, doing this wonderful illustration. the bees at the centre of what they are doing. the manchester skyline, some of the most famous buildings across the bottom there, the town hall, the dean skate helton hotel, a few other bits and bobs, the lowry on the left. 22 bees, it is cold. in memory of the 22 people who died a year ago. “— memory of the 22 people who died a year ago. —— it memory of the 22 people who died a yearago. —— it is memory of the 22 people who died a year ago. —— it is called 22 bees. this has really taken of? yes, originally the idea was to do 22 bees on 22 businesses, get a bit of money and it was going to be a

lovely day out, we are now up to 23a, we have made £700,000 and the plan is to cover the whole city, we have smashed it. they'll agree wonderful, plan is to cover the whole city, we have smashed it. they'll agree they look really wonderful, people have been coming apart and put money in for the memorialfund. been coming apart and put money in for the memorial fund. the been coming apart and put money in for the memorialfund. the bee has a lwa ys for the memorialfund. the bee has always been a symbol for the city but it has taken on more important is now? yes, manchester has already been working together and community, no matter who you are where you are from, are all from unjust. but this is -- from, are all from unjust. but this is —— we are all from manchester. this is a great way to show that we still have that community spirit, the bee encapsulates that. you have got a whole day of that head, quite a lot to do. we did 100 businesses yesterday, between us, drawing from early in the morning until 8pm.

after this we are going into the city centre and we will be there until 8pm. we will let you get back to it and we will show you the finished work at the end of this morning. programme. now time for the news, travel and weather where you are watching breakfast. good morning, i'm asad ahmad. police drivers are to get more protection if they're involved in a crash in a bid to tackle criminals on mopeds. it comes after a spike in moped related crime in london and aims to tackle the "myth" as they call it — that officers can't pursue riders who aren't wearing helmets. the rules will say that riders who don't wear a helmet are responsible for their own safety and deciding to drive dangerously. a man has been found dead following what's been described as a "horrifying" knife attack in islington. it happened near the town hall at around 6.30pm yesterday evening. some residents were prevented from going home while police carried out investigations, with the nearby church opening its doors overnight for food

and shelter for locals who needed it. as the public inquiry into the grenfell tower fire begins its second day, a gardening project set up in the area to help residents affected by the disaster continues to heal wounds. the olive branch charity was set up by local people who say they wanted to bring peace to the lives of their neighbours. we kind of thought we could turn this into a legacy for this community and beyond. in north kensington, where our community has been affected by something so tragic, it's helped people here and it's helping the environment also so i think it's a win/win. let's have a look at the travel situation now. the metropolitan line has severe delays — also because of a signal failure. and there are minor delays on the northern line due to a signal failure.

on the roads — south lambeth road is closed in both directions at the junction with old south lambeth road. that's due to a police investgation. in islington, upper street is closed in both directions due to the police investigation that i mentioned earlier. let's have a check on the weather now with rich. good morning. it's set to be another sunny start to things this morning. there is a chance we could just see one or two showers around first thing, eventually, though, they will clear away and we are set to have some bright and dry conditions through the majority of this morning, over the lunchtime period and into this afternoon as well. any showers that we do see are mostly likely to be fairly light in nature. temperatures up to 23 celsius so still feeling pretty warm. and as we head into this evening and overnight, staying fairly dry as well. cloud will steadily build up as we head towards the early hours of tomorrow morning which means temperatures are not really going to fall away too much, down to eight or nine celsius tonight. as we head through the rest of the week, we can see it's staying fairly bright and quite dry.

there is a chance we could see one or two showers, perhaps a rumble or two of thunder, maybe a flash of lightning here or there. as we head towards the weekend, you can see steadily the temperatures are beginning to pick up and by next week we could be into the high mid—20s. things staying fairly warm as we head through this week with some more sunny spells on the way. in a few minutes' time vanessa feltz will be speaking to former mayor ken livingstone on bbc radio london, about his resignation from the labour party last night. it was on her programme that he made comments which some claim were anti—semitic. that's in just over five minutes. hello, and welcome to a special edition of breakfast, i'm in the heart of manchester. we're marking one year since the terror attack which claimed 22 lives at an ariana grande concert in the city. later today a national minute's silence will be held to commemorate

the anniversary. good morning, it's tuesday 22nd may. also on the programme this morning. wood burners come under fire in the government's new "clean air" strategy — but campaigners say the plan doesn't do enough to tackle pollution from cars. the link between a germ—free upbringing and childhood cancer — new research on how we may be affecting our children's immunity. in sport, arsenal spring a surprise. they're set to hire the former paris saint—germain boss unai emery as arsene wenger's successor. and carol has the weather. good morning, it is a fairly cloudy start to the day across scotland and northern ireland. we have patchy rain which will fade and then it will brighten up across western scotla nd will brighten up across western

scotland and the west of northern ireland. england and wales are off toa dry ireland. england and wales are off to a dry and sunny start with a few showers in the south—east. they will develop a little more widely as we go through the course of the afternoon and i will have more in 15 minutes. thank you. it's the 22nd of may. it isa thank you. it's the 22nd of may. it is a day that means a lot. it's long been the symbol of manchester, but the humble worker bee took on a new meaning after last year's attack — helping bring unity and hope to the city. this morning, artists will create a very special installation for us — right here on the windows of our studios. good morning. this is a special edition in many ways of bbc breakfast remembering the 22 people who were killed in that bomb attack in a concert hall just close to hear where we are at st ann's square in the heart of manchester. of the 22 people killed seven of them were children. one of them just eight years old.

i'm inside st ann's church where thousands came to pray, write condolence and talk. in many ways the city is remembering what happened and one of them is the flower festival going on what happened and one of them is the flowerfestival going on inside the church today. so many people affected by what happened and this city is still coming to terms with that the night. we been speaking to many of them. fiona trott has been to meet a mother and daughter who were at the concert that night. the pips sound. police in manchester say a number of people have been killed and others injured at manchester arena after at least one explosion was reported. we've just heard from greater manchester police that they are linking this to terrorism. every time i close my eyes, ijust see it and hear it. the only way i can describe it was ants out of a colony. that noise went off and then everyone just went silent and then everyone just started running. for leanne and her daughter lainey, it's still very raw. i heard a massive bang.

at first i thought it were a balloon because she let down loads of balloons, like, that big. and then i heard a girl in front of me shout, "it's a bomb!" it was a terrorist attack that claimed the lives of 22 people. the youngest was just eight years old. hundreds like leanne have needed intensive therapy. i went suicidal, i couldn't cope any more. if i wouldn't have gone to that session, i don't think i'd be here. that's the first time i've said that in front of lainey. the attack was carried out by this man, salman abedi. the bomb he carried contained nearly 2000 pieces of metal. prosecutors have asked for his brother hashem to be extradited from libya. there is a warrant for his arrest. negotiations are tricky, they're delicate, they're being carried out by the government and it's for them and the libyans to work that through.

i would just hope that we are able to see a trial in the uk because of the families of the victims, and those injured and traumatised. one, two, three. after her experience, leanne is studying to be a mental health nurse. both she and lainey are travelling to manchester today, a city coming together to reflect. you're going to have to teach me this stuff, lainey. i'm clueless with football. a special service will take place at manchester cathedral with her preparations already under way. there will be a screen in this part of the city. it will be shown across other parts of the uk in york, glasgow, as well. the prime minister is expected to attend the service. in the manchester evening news she said the targeting of the young and innocent as they enjoyed a carefree

night out was an act of cowardice and it was designed to strike at the heart of our values, break our resolve and divide us and it has failed. you get a sense speaking to families they feel the same way, they will not think about the attacker today. they are going to reflect a nd attacker today. they are going to reflect and they are going to be celebrating life too. it is very much a sense of that, a celebration of life, and even within st ann's church the flower festival here, you just walk in and it is just a beautiful place to be. in the early hours of this morning there is a new line of trees that have been specially planted and people are putting nuts on those trees. they will be saved and kept for later. there are so many ways the city is trying to remember. we will be talking to people who were there on the night and also to the emergency services as well. we know what incredible bravery there was on that night. keep watching. breakfast. l? a ' lee a ' here the g-

police drivers in england and wales could soon have more legal protection if they are involved in a crash. the home office has developed the plans after a surge in crimes involving scooters and motorbikes in the last three years. our home affairs correspondent, danny shaw, reports. should a police officer behind the wheel be treated differently to other motorists? these police in kent are taking part in advanced driving training. in this exercise, the white skoda is the target vehicle. the three police cars perform what's known as a hard stop, boxing the skoda in and arresting the suspect. but police are concerned their skills in training are not their skills and training are not recognised by the law. they carry out 10,000 pursuits across england and wales every year. if they break the speed limit orjump a red light while pursuing a criminal, they can be prosecuted — just as a member of the public can. now the home office is planning to change that. police driving skills and training will be taken into account by investigators. police will have to show

their tactics are necessary and proportionate and they will be assessed by the standards of other competent police drivers, not by the standards of other motorists. police officers will always operate within the training, within the law. and what it will mean is that they will have the confidence that, when they are discharging their duties, that they are going to be judged against somebody with the same amount of training and knowledge and skill that one of their colleagues would have rather than a member of the public. the home office also wants to dispel what it says is the myth that police can't pursue a moped or motorcycle rider who isn't wearing a helmet. the law will be amended to make it clear that a biker without a helmet is responsible for their own decision to drive dangerously. danny shaw, bbc news. the bbc understands the government is considering whether to scrap some of the controversial nhs reforms introduced in england in 2012. the changes — which have been widely criticised — sought to give gps more control over health budgets by replacing primary care trusts with clinical commissioning groups. it's thought the prime minister is keen to deliver a new long—term plan for the health service.

a bbc investigation has discovered the insulation that burned out of control in the grenfell tower fire had never passed the required safety test and should never have been on the building. panorama found the firm which supplied the insulation, celotex, may have misled the contractors who did the refurbishment about its suitability for use in high rise buildings. richard bilton reports. in testimony after testimony, the first day of the public inquiry at that moment... ..we felt like our hearts had broken. and they had.

grenfell burned ferociously because it was wrapped in flammable material. panorama has found that the insulation rs5000, manufactured by celotex, had not passed the relevant safety tests. celotex offered it to the contractors at grenfell knowing it wasn't suitable for use on the refurbishment of a tower block. that is remarkable and staggering and i think people will be extremely angry about that. it's just... it is unbelievable that people can operate like that. rs5000 had passed a safety test but panorama also understands the insulation that was tested had a more fire—retardant mix, meaning the product on grenfell was more flammable and untested. well, words fail me.

this is absolutely mind blowing. this material is all over the place. celotex say they can't comment because they are cooperating with the police investigation and the public inquiry, but they did not deny any of the bbc's allegations. richard bilton, bbc news. tesco is removing best before dates from the majority of its fresh fruit and vegetables to prevent food waste. the supermarket giant decided to do it after enviromental campaigners said they confused shoppers, and encouraged throwing edible produce away. it is 8:12am. good morning. if you are wondering why i'm on my own on the server it is because we have a special bbc breakfast programme

today. louise in manchester and we willjoin her later on. it is exactly willjoin her later on. it is exa ctly o ne willjoin her later on. it is exactly one year since the manchester arena bomb so we will be speaking to some survivors and the emergency services who were at the arena that day and also we will hear from the survivors choir, they will be singing for us later in the programme. we are going to tidy up some of the other day's news for you as well. living in a germ—free home is the cause of the most common type of cancer in children, according to one of britain's most eminent scientists. acute lymphoblastic leukaemia affects one in 2,000 children. alasdair rankin is director of research at the charity bloodwise who funded the study — he joins us now from central london. thank you forjoining us. and thank you for explaining a bit more about this. can we start with the research? how does it work because it's not just about research? how does it work because it's notjust about germs, is it? no, this research try to answer the second question every parent asks when a child is diagnosed with leukaemia, which is how did this

happen? what has been shown over a period of many years is this happens in two stages, the first happens in the baby before it is born, that is a genetic change, which is the first triggerfully kenya, a genetic change, which is the first trigger fully kenya, and that's quite common happening in one in 20 children born —— leukaemia. it is much less common for the second figure, which is genetic damage and we hadn't been sure what that was for a long time. this professor's work shows that trigger is common infections, infections that are not dangerous for children themselves but our body responds to the many different way because the system has not been educated in the way that it may was in the past. that sounds like that is a trigger, and potentially these types of leukaemia could be prevented in the future. we still have quite a lot of work to do to understand whether that is possible. plenty of research to do but you feel that could be an explanation for the slow increase in leukaemia rates in some of the

world's more affluent countries? yes, so really difficult to prove that this sort of link is true so scientists do two things, large population studies to try and understand what sort of things children, in this case, have been exposed to do and whether they get the condition or not. and biological studies in the lab to prove if there isa studies in the lab to prove if there is a mechanism to explain why it is happening. what is compelling about this research is the biological studies are quite strong and suggest this is the way it could happen, and then there is a series of studies show these links, and individually the links are relatively weak but together they build up quite a compelling case. what is really important, i think is that for parents listening to this story, is if your child has had leukaemia, there is nothing you could have done to prevent it, and even now there isn't really any new

medical advice about anything that people can do differently. what we should probably think, though, is the sorts of minor common infections children are exposed to are not something to avoid particularly and socialising children at a young age, something most parents want to do in any case, is a very good thing.” something most parents want to do in any case, is a very good thing. i am glad you mentioned that it is i was going to ask about it, often when we deal these sorts of stories, particularly about children, lots of viewers ask what to do now. essentially, nothing needs to change, because we are talking about small numbers, art we? asa as a parent of young children, a one in 2000 risk seems slightly higher than you might imagine, but the numbers are small, we are talking about three quarters of cases of childhood leukaemia, because there are other types which are not like this. i am glad to say that nowadays there are really good treatments for most children, about four in five will survive this form of leukaemia in the long term. we would rather have ge ntly in the long term. we would rather have gently treatments and not the long—term side effects. if we could work towards preventing this type of leukaemia in the future, that would

be amazing. you said about at the moment and where you would like it to go, what is the next stage, where you are thinking you would like to find an answer, and might that coming next few years? professor green ‘s has said to be really convinced that this is the second trigger, we have to do more work in laboratory studies in animals to try to look at preventing this in some way, there would be formulations of modern microbes that you could give to animals that would get leukaemia and see if you could stop it. it is only a few can do that that you can think about a formulation that you might be able to test and people —— it is only if you can do that. that isa it is only if you can do that. that is a long way off but that is the type of experiment we would be talking about next. bank either talking about next. bank either talking to us, alistair rankine, director of research at bloodwise. —— thank you for talking us. you can e—mail us, please get in touch with your thoughts on that.

plenty of interaction from the weather watchers everyday? i know, we get beautiful pictures sentin i know, we get beautiful pictures sent in on a daily basis and it shows the weather in the length and breadth of the uk. it is a sunny start for some, some showers on the far south—eastern corner. cloudier further north, quite a bit of low cloud has come from the north sea across eastern scotland and north east england. the weather fronts has been producing some rain through the course of yesterday and overnight, it is now starting to fizzle and we have the dregs of it across central scotland, it will die fairly rapidly. the west is seen brighter skies, the northern and western isles, it will brighten across northern ireland. we will hang on to the low cloud from aberdeenshire towards northumberland on the coastline. further south, lots of sunshine, as we saw in manchester, but some showers in the

south—eastern corner currently. a fume or will develop across southern counties, possibly into wales and the midlands. the showers are hit and miss but could be heavy and sunny. if you are going to chelsea flower show, temperatures up to around 22, just a small risk of a shower. along the north sea coastline with the breeze all the low cloud, it will feel colder. this evening and overnight we will have cloud romping from the north sea and getting further inland across central southern england, east anglia and eastern england and eastern scotland. the clearest skies will be to the west, meaning tomorrow morning we will have the sunshine. south—west england, wales, north—west england, northern ireland, the isle of man and western scotland. rather like every day this week, the cloud pushes right the way back onto the north sea coastline and with the breeze it will feel cooler, but inland we are looking at sunny

conditions and highs of 23 or possibly a bit more. again, like most of this week, the risk of showers from the south. for thursday, starting with low cloud pushing back towards the north sea, then we are looking at a fair bit of sunshine for many areas. a weather front coming from the near continent will introduce some showery outbreaks, some heavy and sunny, from the channel islands across southern counties. through thursday night into friday, the weather front will drift further north, bringing the same scenario. bright spells behind it, some cloud, feeling humid. sunshine ahead of it, northern england, northern ireland and much of scotland. temperatures about 20 in edinburgh, 21 in london. thank you very much, carol. the storm clouds are coming but it looks like nice weather for most of us today and parts of tomorrow. let's return to one of our main stories. the facebook boss mark zuckerberg is appearing in front of politicians in brussels today to answer

questions over the way his company handles its users' data. but he has refused three times to appear before a uk parliamentary committee investigating the same issue. —— investigating fake news. damian collins is leading that inquiry. he joins us now from westminster. thank you for coming on. is mr zuckerberg ignoring you, telling you he does not want to come? he is choosing the environment through which he will answer questions, rather than appearing in front of uk house of commons select committee, which is investigating this field, it has a committee of members who have been researching and working on this for some time, he has gone to brussels to take evidence behind closed doors from senior meps, none of whom have any particular expertise in the sector. the session will be quite short, they have relu cta ntly will be quite short, they have reluctantly agreed it can be live strea m reluctantly agreed it can be live stream so we can see what he is being asked, but it shows facebook are doing the bare minimum they can get away with in terms of public

disclosure and answering questions on this very important subject, it is not good enough and shows co nte m pt is not good enough and shows contempt for what people in europe think about them. what case have you made to him in to facebook more generally about why he needs to come to the uk? facebook is a global brand that has users all over the world, why come to the uk? we area over the world, why come to the uk? we are a very big market of facebook customers. one of the big issues at the centre of the scandal has been the centre of the scandal has been the cambridge analytica data breach of facebook user data affecting 87 million people around the world, 1 million people around the world, 1 million users in the uk. this took place at cambridge university, the date ended up with british company cambridge analytica and there is a particular interest for the uk, that is why we have pressed for him to come. we have spoken to others from facebook, including taking evidence from their chief technology officer. asa from their chief technology officer. as a result we ended up with yet more questions which have not been a nswered more questions which have not been answered which we followed up in writing, it would have been better

to have the chance to? zuckerberg. he is ultimately responsible for what happened at facebook and we should have the right to question him. —— to have the right to question mr zuckerberg. have the questions you ask him changed at all? yes, they have become more specific, we are more interested in how facebook gathers data to help advertisers target users, particularly how that is done around elections that with political advertising. we are concerned about how data is gathered from users and also the lack of transparency about the messaging. if someone advertises on facebook, we do not necessarily know who the advertiser is, where they are based, how many of adverts they are based, how many of adverts they are based, how many of adverts they are running and there is a basic lack of transparency which is an issue in elections. will you keep asking him and do you think he will ever come? we wrote to them

yesterday to say we have follow—up questions based on the most recent set of written evidence. we will continue to put questions to that company in whatever way we can, if that cannot be through a session with mark zuckerberg we will do it in writing. we are happy to do it by video link can fit in with mark zuckerberg's schedule, but the best way of getting to the bottom of theseissues way of getting to the bottom of these issues and our questions is to talk to the man himself. ona more talk to the man himself. on a more general point, you mentioned cambridge analytica, do you think things have changed sufficiently so that could not happen with another company now?” don't. again, facebook have not really explained how many other companies may have gained access to facebook user data in the way cambridge analytica did. it is possible the data breach is far greater than we have previously known, that is a concern. facebook user data has been quite open to developers, they have used it to target their campaigns. in the last couple of months we have become more aware of how this is done and have

open data is on facebook and how easily it can end up in the hands of people we would never have consented to give it to. through our investigation, part of thejob is to through our investigation, part of the job is to set this out and make it clear what is going on, and for us to consider in parliament what we should do in terms of new rules and regulations about the way these platforms work. i appreciate your time this morning, damian collins. thank you. bbc breakfast macro is slightly different this morning. it is exactly one year since the manchester arena bomb. john maguire is outside this morning and as part of creating something rather special on the windows of the studios? good morning. the guys have been working here since before about 6am, just before the programme went on air. you can see the manchester skyline across the bottom, and taking pride of place, the manchester working bee, a long—time symbol of the industrial nature of manchester which has been readopted

by people in recent times, the last year, since the bombing 12 months ago to symbolise the city's unity, resilience, strength in moving forward. three artists are working here this morning, they arejust three artists are working here this morning, they are just about putting the finishing touches. good morning. you call it the 22 bees projects, tell others about it? we are planning to draw bees on manchester businesses, we did 100 around greater manchester yesterday and straight after this we are going into the city centre to do 100, we are asking for a donation to the manchester emergency fund in return, helping those affected by the attack. physical issues, mental issues, etc. the fund has raised £21 million, they have spent £20 million of it. you are local, tell me what the bee means to you? the bee has a lwa ys the bee means to you? the bee has always been around for those of us

born and bred from here, since the attack last year it has taken on a whole new meaning and it is even more community, even more spirit. when you see it, you have a fuzzy moments. the factory has been given the privilege of drawing them all over the city is an absolute privilege, i might tear up. thank you very much indeed. i think you arejust you very much indeed. i think you are just about finishing off, it is wonderful, you can see all the detail. ijust wonderful, you can see all the detail. i just love the artistry, this is manchester, that i love mcr, the different themes which have had real resonance. we will look at the finished project later, after the news, travel and weather where you are. so many of us it is a dry and sunny

start to the day, for most parts we will keep the sunshine well into this afternoon and the evening. it's going to be pretty warm once again. there is a risk of a few showers developing across southern areas later. for scotland and northern ireland on the satellite imagery you can see there is a fair amount of cloud this morning, it is all associated with a weather front which is a weakening weather front which is a weakening weather front which is a weakening weather front situated within the high. unlike yesterday with all that rain it should be a dry day today despite the cloud in both scotland and also northern ireland. plenty of sunshine for england and wales away from the north—eastern coastal area where there will be cloud coming in off the north sea. later this afternoon the risk of one or two heavy showers down towards the southern parts of temperatures getting up to 17—23dc and a bit warmerfor getting up to 17—23dc and a bit warmer for north—west scotland and northern ireland, cool in the

north—east of scotland. this evening and tonight, quite a bit of low cloud and sea mist will move further westwards, extending quite well inland into wednesday morning. these are your overnight temperatures, 7-11d. are your overnight temperatures, 7—11d. while there will be sunshine first thing around northern and western parts on wednesday the further east you are the claudio portelli. high pressure is still in charge our weather on wednesday, so with that high it will be a dry day and there will be sunshine. the morning cloud and mist will tend to disappear as the sun comes up. it will burn back towards the coasts. on coastal areas it could stay quite great and cloudy. but elsewhere the heat will build. temperatures on the rise. certainly a warmer day for parts of scotland and northern ireland where temperatures will get into the high teens and low 20s. always cooler on the north sea coast but for many of us those temperatures certainly into the low 20s. more sunshine on thursday.

heavy showers and thunderstorms coming from the south later on. this is business live from bbc news with vishala sri—pathma and sally bundock. full stream ahead — google's youtube enters the music streaming market hoping to tune into a multi—billion dollar industry. live from london, that's our top story on tuesday 22nd may but steaming is a crowded space — so can google compete with the likes of market leaders spotify and apple
