for the likes of m15, mi6.echnology the question of, isn't this just repeating what the conservatives said they were doing 2015? that 1000 hasn't been recruited. they say they're doing at the moment. they say that they haven't done it. we say we want to recruit 10,000 extra officers, community officers, because weeping community officers, because weeping community policing is key. we want to recruit 3,000 extra firefighters, 3,000 extra dozen officers, 1000, as you say, people in the security field. and 500 more border guards. diane abbott getting the numbers right on that. the 1000 new security officers they have been highlighting this morning over and above their ma nifesto this morning over and above their manifesto pledges, something that is all ready on stream. diane abbott saying it's not something that is being delivered on yap, labour would make sure it was.

normal intelligence sharing between m15 and mi6 in this country with their us cou nterpa rts mi6 in thisith their us counterparts will continue. the normal day—to—day business between embassies will continue. it is a small bump in the road but it is quite a serious one for britain to withhold any intelligence from its closest ally, this is a backward step, a very necessary one in this case because the priority is to let the police get on and do theirjob and catch the bomb maker and stop any further devices being detonated and anything that gets in the way of that has to be removed. it is totally understandable how they are feeling. there have been some pretty harsh words in the us. it was not the white house. it was not donald trump revealing something more than he was supposed to. it was from the us intelligence community and that isa us intelligence community and that is a sprawling community employing hundreds of thousands of people, ex—dean different agencies across the us, fbi, nsa, homeland security, cia, the list goes on, it is one of those agencies. pressure on the newspapers wit

is it about intelligence services and bolstering the likes of mi5 and mi6, do we need more obvious onquestion, again, because the threat we face is incredibly compact, from the lone gunmen and unsophisticated attacks like those with knives, through to ones that are more sophisticated la ke ones that are more sophisticated lake manchester. there has to be a way bell way up —— way up of how that money is spent. —— weigh. but more money needs to go to police on the street so that they can respond to events. as we know, there will be a review following this event as to how the resources are spent. with a general election coming up, expect to see a review of the counterterrorism policy in the uk. thank you for your time this morning anthony. as you are aware, there is lots of information and a live page updating all the time on what is going on in manchester today and beyond. let's look at some other business stories, now. the trump administration has unveiled its $4.1 trillion budget plan for 2018. it proposes deep cuts to dozens of programmes providing assistance to the poor such as medi

they offered 50 grand for this x-mi6 agent. national policing agency of the united states is basically trying to get the goods on both presidential campaigns. so far they have not managed to get the goods. >> eric: the mi6 agent was an oppo research professional. >> he was looking to be in the position where he would've been the only guy on the planet in the pay of both the hillary campaign and the united states government. >> eric: one more theory, so they asked james comey whether or not this information had any effect. he said maybe you did. i'm not positive. but look for the russians to do this again. the follow-up question was, have they done this in the past? comey would've had to have said yes, they've been doing it for decades. >> kat: and doing it all over europe right now. >> eboni: in the french election. >> marco rubio has been strong on this. he said they didn't like hillary so they weighed in on the republican party. someday they are not going to like us. they are equal opportunity people when it comes to election

for additional 1900 more officers form15, mi6 and for additional 1900 more officers for m15, mi6 and record in terms of our investment in counterterrorism and cyber crime that will pay dividends in the future. 3500 people under surveillance by m15 who have had marked success in foiling several terrorist attacks since the london attack, and of course there is adequate resourcing. the knee jerk reaction is to say we need more police officers and, yes, we do, but we need more investment in our intelligence services whatever the re cord intelligence services whatever the record the conservatives assert. the keyword at community level has to be integration. this is why my party has had some concerns over the prevent strategy which is directed from above them into communities rather than actively involving people on the ground in that integrated approach. i was government whip for northern ireland a generation ago, i know what it's like to live with being a terrorist target, different kind of terrorism from the one that we face today. a very small number of people can cause an enormous amo

manifesto pledges, they also committing to 1000 extra security staff for the likes of m15, gchq and mi6of m15, gchq and mig. it is staff for the likes of m15, gchq and m16. it is a prominent issue now for obvious reasons. how long do you think that will be the case?” obvious reasons. how long do you think that will be the case? i don't think that will be the case? i don't think this weekend we were likely to be talking about security had a terrible event in manchester not occurred. the first is you have government is to protect the public, so government is to protect the public, soi government is to protect the public, so i think there is no way that the different parties could avoid trying to showcase what they are offering, albeit treading through this as a very sensitive time. however, i think there are issues like brexit, the key message of theresa may's campaign, that she will want to get back onto as soon as possible, not least after a difficult beginning to this week, which has been rather forgotten now in terms of a u—turn over the questions of social care policy, which was caus

, listening agencies, gchq, the domestic one such as mi5 and fbi, or the international like cia and mi6hand in glove around the world. they stationed everywhere. all of will continue on. we will look for an now out in the incident. but it is a blockage that will be specific to the manchester embassy is nonetheless, it is something when it comes into the open. we are seeing it come into the open. we are seeing it come into the open. manchester brazel circulating that they are the intelligence sharing. they rely on each other, the uk and us, to protect each other for. the level of trust is to the point where one side feels they have to suspend some level of sharing, thatis to suspend some level of sharing, that is very negative. police have now made eight arrests. most in manchester itself, but also in wigan and nuneaton. we have no details on why these people have been arrested — but the police gave this statement earlier. these have been an intense three days for the officers and staff of greater manchester police along with the national counter—terrorist policing network and uk intelli

and the pirate party launches its manifesto with a photo op with mi6 in view.bes itself as a civil liberties party and has fielded ten candidates and will be campaigning for copyright reform, opposing surveillance and fighting for a free and open internet. we are trying to retain a lot of rights, especially human rights, that those before us have enjoyed and it is more a protectionist star, but we would like to see human rights expanded in general. the scottish labour party has suspended all nine members of the labour group in aberdeen for breaching party rules. it comes after labourjoined forces with the conservatives and independents to form a coalition to run the city council. this isn't about positions or gold medals around the necks of councillors, this is about the job labour councillors are elected to do to protect public services, to invest in and defend public services. the deal coming from aberdeen didn't pass that test, that is why it was rejected by the democratic body of the labour party and that is why that must be respected and why we have moved

i'm being told that at the highest levels between mi6, mi5, the nsa, the cia, you know, the links continueof staff to do with the manchester investigation. but at a lower level i think it may be that the police may well have stopped sharing information with their counterparts. it's also worth saying, there is a very different culture in america about the handing out of information. i think in britain we are much more obsessed about the secrecy are much more obsessed about the secrecy of an investigation. i think in the us it is of an surprising just how much information is given out very quickly indeed, and it may be that whoever leaked this detailed material to the new york times may have thought, you know, i'm not doing anything wrong or unusual in doing anything wrong or unusual in doing so. there are interesting. thank you, jon sopel in brussels. let's had to berlin and talk to damian mcguinness. damian, we have been getting more information in the last little while about salman abedi's movementsjust in the little while about salman abedi's movements just in the days running up movemen

as an unconfirmed dossier though some things have been borne out which means christopher steele, the mi6 agent in the uk who put that together, had sources inside russia or connected to russia who were feeding him true information about what russia was doing to attack our election. so when people get arrested and charged with treason in russia not surprisingly they tend to disappear. so we don't know much more about the case even now since that first report surfaced in january. but today another piece of that story suddenly got lit up because there was another person who was arrested in russia at the same time as that top fsb official, the guy who got the bag over his head and charged with treason. there was another person arrested at the same time according to "the new york times" it was, quote, one of russia's leading private sector cyber security experts, the head of computer incident response investigations at the a company labs. they sell anti-virus software in the you states. kaspersky is based in moscow. the head of kaspersky says he has nothing to do with it but officials have be

department nailed the corruption in that multi-billion dollars organization because they worked with mi6 agent christopher steel to do it. the republican party has just taken a turn on the trump russia investigation, they decided to defend against the trump russia investigation by attacking christopher steel and attacking the fbi once again with this british intelligence officer the fbi has had a long standing productive intelligence relationship in the past led to very high profile criminal indictments. in order to make that turn, in order to try to discredit and turn against the trump-russia investigation on this basis, republicans have to reach. since the dossier came out, piece after piece of it have been corroborated by the free press, which is very inconvenient for them for this argument. here's cnn, u.s. investigators corroborate some aspects of the russia dossier. the bbc, trump rush dossier key claim verified. one of the claims in the dossier was a trump advisor's trip to moscow during the campaign. the trump campaign itself verified that one. the "new york times" reported key a

also the cia has exceptional relationships with mi6. nypd, for example, has representatives in london to coordinate the strategy and information with the united kingdom. and law enforcement over there. so we have exceptional relationship, and i'm sure at this point a lot of the information needed for them if we have it, it's being shared immediately. and i believe that there will be a high level of coordination between law enforcement and intelligence services. we've been through this with them before. we work together to sullivan disrupt the plots in the united kingdom, but also they helped us disrupt the plots here inside the united states. we work together in countering terrorism around the world. they are one of our best partners, and the relationship between the uk and the u.s. and the law enforcement and intelligence side is very deep. >> juan, one of the questions is -- we do not know who's responsible for this. attacks similar to this have been carried out in europe in the past. we have no claims of responsibility and no idea wh

in this case, i'm sure that mi6, britain's secret intelligence service, will be speaking to whoever theyed state these days. it has more than one government, it has warring militias, warring factions, parts of the country are effectively under al-qaeda. it is a mess, there was no other word to describe it. remember, it was from a libyan terrorist training camp two years ago that's another person came across the borderfrom ten is another person came across the border from ten is yet and killed sist border from ten is yet and killed 31st in tennessee have. not an easy country, not a normal relationship to have. —— killed 31 taurus in tunisia. it is early days yet. early days indeed. fascinating details, thank you very much. 0ur security correspondent. you're watching bbc news. let's focus a little bit on libya. notan news. let's focus a little bit on libya. not an easy investigation when you're talking about a failed state like that with so many different factions in parts of different factions in parts of different parts of the country. we sent our correspondent quentin somerville there.

of course there will be pulling in information from foreign intelligence agencies is and of course mi6r ago, he has been under pressure of course in the last 4 hours but his police officer have acted commendably and he was talking to our reporters. we have a team of specifically trained family liaison officers working with those families and supporting them. there has been much speculation if the media and on social media as to the names of some of the victims, while i accept that some of this is an inevitability i would ask that people do allow us to work with a coroner and work with those families, and ensure they are properly supported before we release the names of those that have sadly lost their lives. as you would expect. the police response across greater manchester has been significant today, as we help people to continue to go about their daily business and lead their lives here in greater manchester. part of this response has seen us arrest a 23—year—old man in connection with the attack, and we have carried out two warrants, one in whalley range and one in fallowfield. the
