manchester arena. we are getting here some more lines. british transport policewith emergency services in attendance. there are transport problems out of the area as well. emergency services are on the scene. greater manchester police are saying at this stage, and this is a good half an hour since this happened, they have not given any more clarification, just saying that they are attending an incident, and they are attending an incident, and they are advising people not to head to that area where all of this is taking place. as i say, local lines from out of manchester's victoria station is blocked. chris wood is a problem. the suggestion is people are still tried to get away from that area. —— so transport is a problem. of an hour since we got the first reports from greater manchester at police say they responded to an incident. —— half an hour. they are responding to a large bang according to local people and eyewitnesses that manchester arena. we'd go to the weather, but we will bring you more on this feeding. more sunshine and rising cambridges as well. it w

manchester police. they are treating it as a terrorist incident unless they get information otherwise. they say 19 people have been confirmed dead, umm, 50 people injured. we heard from british transportat the explosion happened in the foyer area. we heard from manchester arena themselves, they say the explosion happened in a public space outside their venue. we have heard from eyewitnesses in the immediate aftermath of the explosion that they could see nuts and bolts on the floor. we don't know if that was debris from the explosion or if it was some sort of shrapnel involved in the explosion. the arena has been cleared, but police are still at the scene carrying out a controlled explosion, as we saw and heard. and ambulance staff are still dealing with casualties. thank you for the moment, andy. rebecca baty was an eyewitness at the event. she spoke to the bbc soon after the first reports. myself and my friends were in the arena at the time. we were sort of at the other side of the arena to where the, sort of, noise, whatever it was, came from. we just heard a very, very loud bang. everyone started running and screaming and we did too. we got out of the building. me and my friend wer

greater manchester police have said they had been a number of fatalities caused by an explosion. british transportion in the foyer. we know from our own home affairs correspondent that as we speak, intelligence officers, home office officials, meeting in london tonight. they are working on the theory that it could have been a terrorist incident and that the fatalities may be in the double figures. wejust had an fatalities may be in the double figures. we just had an update from greater manchester police on twitter. we have heard about a number of children, young people, at this concert, separated from their pa rents. this concert, separated from their parents. they say, "we are working to provide a numberfor anyone concerned about love to ones to contact the will be released as soon as possible". greater manchester police tried to put people in touch with their parents who have been separated. in addition to the reports we have been getting as a possible terrorist incident. we are now hearing from sources in the states from nbc news, for example, reporting from american intelligence sources that i

we have from british transport police that the seat of the explosion was in the foyer area. heard from manchester in a public space. what we do not know is really because of the explosion. we get a reports from us security sources, talking about a suicide bomber. now, that has not been confirmed by british police yet. we are expecting a press conference to happen shortly. certainly, some of the eyewitnesses have talked about the eyewitnesses have talked about the blast being outside the building, and they were blown into the arena by the force of the explosion. and one eyewitness talked about nuts and bolts lying around on the floor after the explosion. that might have been debris from the force of the explosion, or may have been shrapnel that was included in the blast to increase the injuries it could cause. so the crucial question is really whether this was a bomb timed to go off, or if it was a bomb timed to go off, or if it was a suicide bomber. we may get an a nswer to a suicide bomber. we may get an answer to that in the upcoming press conference. as we look at these pictures of friends and

manchester arena other than confirming an incident did happen. they are saying that it happened outside the arena. that tallies with what british transport policeppened in the foyer area, rather than being inside the arena. just inside the building, but not in the auditorium where the concert was. yes. that is what they are saying. people who are familiar with the venue, you get out through the ticket office into the foyer area. and that is where the merchandise is as well. exactly. people have been watching their pop idol, they want to buy merchandise to remember what was supposed to be a fine evening out with family and friend. could that device, or whatever caused this explosion, could it have been put there on purpose? again, that is something that police will be looking at. and, of course, we have got this emergency cobra meeting in westminster. that is top security officials from across the country meeting to look at what evidence they have got so far and where you go forward from this. and that is at 9am uk time on tuesday morning. two reports from us officials are suggesting this attack has been carried out by a suicide bomber. does are

these hundreds of armed policemen and women on the streets of manchester, soldiers in other cities as well, armed police on public transportme, there is still a lot of tension here and until that network is found and neutralised we will remain in this position. we have also heard overnight that greater manchester police have restarted their cooperation with american authorities, exchanging some of this very sensitive information they hope might help them achieve a breakthrough in the case. that cooperation had stopped because of excessive lea ks on cooperation had stopped because of excessive leaks on the american side. greater manchester police felt it was actively disturbing and damaging their inquiries. after assurances from washington, those links have now resumed and the exchange of this vital information will resume. thank you for the update, where davis there from greater manchester police headquarters. annita is in the bbc newsroom with a summary of the rest of the day's news. theresa may is to urge the leaders of the world's most developed nations to do more to tackle extremism online. she's to make a speech at th
