the manchester royal infirmary. anita, what‘s the latest? manchester royal infirmary.e manchester royal infirmary, where nine of those injured in last night‘s attack are being treated. this is one of the area‘s major trauma centres, along with the trauma centres, along with the trauma centres, along with the trauma centre at salford royal where another six of the victims are being treated for their injuries. we heard a little earlier, in a news conference, that some people are requiring intensive care, that some people will be in hospitalfor requiring intensive care, that some people will be in hospital for what was described as "a long time." and that others will have life—changing injuries. but beyond that, no further detail or specific detail on how many of those injured are children and how many are adults. we do know that 12 children, children under the age of 16, are being treated at the royal manchester children‘s hospital but we know of at least one other child in another hospital, so it is not possible at this stage to give a specific breakdown on those number

treated... 59 people being treated at eight hospitals around manchester including nine here at the manchester royalthe manchester children's hospital. that does perhaps be a clarification that those 12 children are all under the age of 16. we know there's at least one child at another hospital as well but beyond that, we did not get any sort of breakdown of the number of adults and children who are currently being treated after being injured in last night's attack. john said if ever you wanted to have a sense of one hs, this has been the night and the morning to experience that. bat—mac only nhs. he gave his deep condolences to the families of those killed, injured and he said that it has been a terrible night for those families and a terrible morning although we have also seen some of the best aspects of greater manchester and its people. we had this update from doctor david radcliffe. the royal infirmary, which is the hospital behind me, it received nine patients. these are patients that we took by ambulance, there were also walking wounded. salford royal foundation trust, another trauma centre,

right now, jayne mccubbin is outside manchester royal infirmary. f course, he was a british citizen and had a british passport, we believe, but if he was across their radar we don't know to what extent, but it's clear that given the increasing terror alerts in the united kingdom, notjust here in greater manchester, that they believe that salman abedi may have had some sort of assistance, some sort of help in procuring and building a suicide device which he used, of course, to such devastating effect when 22 people were killed in manchester arena. yes, a lot of progress was made in the first 24 hours, but greater manchester police and other police forces and other intelligence agencies in the uk are making it very clear that there is a long way to go before this country is safe again. before they are happy that not only of course was salman abedi killed in this suicide explosion but anybody else who may have helped him or may have helped procure the explosives is also accounted for and that for the police remains a priority. wyre, thank you very much
