3:02 pm
coping one year on. well this is undoubtedly a city that's been changed by this horrific attack it's a city of course was left scarred by the horror of that night but as the city's mayor purse it that's not the way that it wants to define itself much as response really has been defined by its pride by its resilience and by its courage that was on display on the night of the attack and of course in the days after when people queued up hospitals were inundated with people trying to to give blood to the victims there were an enormous amount of people on the streets trying to raise money and that's something that we're still seeing today there's an enormous crowd behind me now watching the service and we over tended a number of events in memory of the victims people just trying to come together to show their strength in the fact that they will not be broken by this attack people of manchester charlotta taking taking part there in that service at the manchester cathedral and we also understand a number of dignitaries signatories rather on hand as well. that's

3:04 pm
when he lost his life inside manchester arena. yeah it was just really really low play but i. just. thought. that was my purpose or after. for friends like kerry jones the first anniversary isn't just a time for grief it's a chance to reflect on the lives of their loved ones. and for martin's friends that means tributes to him need to be just as larger than life as he was. yeah there was there was a no. confidence only fitting then that martin's life is celebrated with a touch of showbiz. a new play written in his honor tells the story through the eyes of his friends its message be more like martin.
3:05 pm
loving the attention. it was thought it was what it's been for. the force. it's with unity and passion that manchester is choosing to remember its did a mark of the resilience of the city shaken by tragedy. such a moving tribute there charlotte we have to say as well that ariana grande it was performing when the bomb went off and she actually returned to manchester just two weeks after to perform a large charity concert for the victim's family has she said anything today.
3:06 pm
she has indeed seen me she's tweeted thinking of you all she said sending you to all the light and warmth that i have to offer on this challenging day she is of course a number of people who've reached out to the victims of this attack and of course the people of manchester as well to reason may for example who is attending the service just behind me describe the attack as an act of sickening cowardice and said that she was blown away by the response from manchester displayed not only on the night but throughout the last twelve months she said manchester is showing itself as a city that is determined and resilient and that it really is speaks is the best of this country the united kingdom house while. charlotte shows some outside manchester cathedral following today's events for us thank you charlotte now to some other stories making news around the world a group of foreign journalists as arrived in north korea at the invitation of leader kim jong un they've been granted access to witness the planned dismantling
3:07 pm
of the injury nuclear test site in the north west of the country the promise to destroy the facility is viewed as a goodwill gesture ahead of an historic summit with u.s. president donald trump next month. iran has dismissed u.s. threats of sanctions calling them ridiculous iranian president hassan rouhani was responding to the u.s. secretary of state mike pompei oh pompei a war in iran to expect the strongest sanctions ever if it did not stop enriching uranium the palestinian foreign minister has referred israel to the international criminal court following recent bloodshed on the gaza border palestinians are calling for an immediate investigation into alleged israeli crimes more than one hundred people have been killed in recent weeks israel says it is defending its border against terrorists. facebook c.e.o. mark zuckerberg is set to face a grilling from lawmakers in brussels today they want to know how data from millions of facebook users were leaked to a political consultancy employed by donald trump they also want to know why
3:08 pm
facebook failed to reveal the leak despite being aware of its existence as early as two thousand and fifteen the meeting comes three days before a major new data privacy law comes into the effect in europe. if his two day appearance before the u.s. congress last month was any indication members of the european parliament can expect a suited respectful guest. well congressman congressman congressman congressman congresswoman building at the grilling in congress politicians were at times blunt your user agreement shocks there were also replies certain to get likes from facebook lawyers as someone who uses facebook i believe that you should have complete control over your data zuckerberg says it to brussels comes just days before a massive reform of european privacy rules is rolled out the ultra bureaucratic sounding general debt protection regulation the g.d.p.
3:09 pm
are will cause headaches for social media platforms with european customers as a greatly strengthens the rights of users it forces companies that exploit user data to seek explicit consent and it adds teeth to regulations so that enforcement is easier with tougher penalties for companies that don't comply so corporate can expect plenty of questions related to facebook's compliance with the g.d.p. are plenty more related to the alleged misuse of facebook data by cambridge and a little the now defunct british consultancy that worked on getting us president donald trump elected. zuckerberg will have little privacy himself during his time before parliament all of the action will be live streamed from brussels. for a big day ahead in brussels teri schultz with standing by for us there hi terry will mark zuckerberg get more of a grilling from the europeans than he did from the u.s. congress well it will certainly be
3:10 pm
a shorter session the entire zuckerberg appearance in the european parliament will only be about forty five minutes long compared to the two days he faced on capitol hill but that doesn't mean it will be less of substantive grilling of course the heads of the political groups could have looked at the testimony that zuckerberg gave on capitol hill and really refined their questions also europeans are known to be much more strict about data privacy than the americans so but just by the fact that he'll get questioned by fewer than ten people doesn't necessarily mean that he'll get off more easily also in the room will be on full of albrecht who is known as the data privacy guru of the european parliament and claude moraes the head of the civil liberties committee so those two are definitely going to be asking some very pointed questions of mark zuckerberg and as you as you heard in that piece this was going to be a closed door session and after a huge huge outpouring of of anger from the general public and from members of the
3:11 pm
european parliament it will now be live stream so we will all see what mark zuckerberg says a lot of pressure on him and on the heads of the political groups who will be asking the questions love that pressure terry coming from the cambridge analytical scandal do e.u. leaders think facebook has done enough to abide by their privacy standards. everything will change given the general data privacy protection regulation that comes into effect on may twenty fifth at that point there will actually be repetitions for not following european data privacy rules so i think that he may have a few more days before facebook could be called called to account for this but i don't think anybody feels that facebook has done enough to protect their their private data we hear that all the time we've seen that with facebook users abandoning the platform but that will certainly be front and center in the questioning that we see here tonight you mentioned the new data protection law coming into effect here in europe terry what exactly is that going to mean for
3:12 pm
facebook. facebook says that it already has upgraded its user consent forms it has had to reform the way it uses data and the permission that it gets from users this is not just facebook but any any company that uses private data across the internet so it's not just facebook but all the major platforms cannot get away with it anymore in addition users will have more control they will have the ability to go in and look at what these companies are doing with its data and say no if that's not ok so it's not just facebook but certainly mark zuckerberg is for many people the face of both the misuse of data privacy and the need to do better and terry beyond our privacy what other issues as the european parliament want to see facebook and mark zuckerberg address. facebook is well known to have been a major propaganda tool in the us election when he was on capitol hill zuckerberg
3:13 pm
said himself that he wished he'd been more aware of how facebook facebook was being used to spread false information and he wants to do better with that that will be something that european union lawmakers will be very interested in hearing about of course there was the threat of the misuse of facebook and other social media in european elections we've of course. european parliamentary elections coming up as well so they would like to see those kind of activities reined in before the election campaigning starts in a year or teri schultz reporting for us from brussels thank you terry the worst kept secret in german football about lucy and fiver has been appointed as the new british dortmund coach and a two year deal the experience with manager is leaving french club nice to return to the bundesliga but is a big challenge on his hands at one of europe's best support of fine. fiver is the man darkman fans hope can revive their club after good start to the season gotten
