security services saying, bear with us.but you can absolutely understand why. even the hay literary festival is mentioned! they will be furious their handkerchiefs and combatants will be searched. that is the level of security they are going for. —— their handkerchiefs and their cravats. i'm delighted there will be armoured cars. i think that's a strong message. ithink armoured cars. i think that's a strong message. i think the security service at the moment have to say to people, we are in control, and we are going to win this, because the alternative is unthinkable. we cannot give in to them. i know that is what people always say, but making the show of strength is important. to show our determination and resilience. let's end with the financial times. cloudless skies, bust — don't like that word, but a nyway bust — don't like that word, but anyway — bust nuclear record. it has been fabulously hot. and there is an energy benefit. i put on some suncream iborra .my daughter today and it was sparkly. i looked like anton did

will be feeling very nervous, very worried and the prime minister and the government and the security servicesservices will be well aware of that, so they would not have reached this conclusion, unwill less they felt reason to do so. theresa may, again, reiterating there, the police, the security service, the armed forces will get the support and resources they need. her message still one of defiance, saying people should car i reason 0 defiance, saying people should car i reason o and keep the, capture the spirit of manchester in that defiant tone, nonetheless, choosing to take what would have been a carefully calculated decision to increase threat level and other measures you outline there. yes, and reading between the lines, and we are, we will make get more from our security correspondents later, but it would tend to suggest that they might know about salman abedi, but they don't know about the cell around him and they particularly don't know about who has made this bomb. bomb. it wasn't a crude bomb, i mean there is a certain level of sophistication that goes into building a vast and pack

it worries me that this is hampering the work of the security services. on with the work of tracking down these people. there's the inevitability that you start with the people close to the person suspected. no surprise that members of his family have been arrested. the first thing you do is look at families because they are the people who would and know the perpetrator must closely. let's go to the front page of the guardian, this is same photograph that you have alluded to on the front page of the independent. supposedly a photograph of one part is believed to have been used on monday that had been leaked to the us media and this is one an extraordinary image and also it is causing a row. it is unprecedented that a live investigation live in this country should then be revealed by the intelligence agency in one of oui’ by the intelligence agency in one of our partners, perhaps our closest partner in the united states. on the radio, amber rudd saying she was very irritated and that is a british euphemism to say they are livid about this. the prime minist

this morning the home secretary amber rudd said he was known to security services ‘up to a point‘. nal security studies at the foreign affairs think tank the royal united is. thank you for joining us. —— royal united is. what do you make of the comment from the home secretary that salman abedi was known to the security services up to a point? i think what that indicate isa a point? i think what that indicate is a reflection of the fact that he clearly knew who he was, he was not a completely unknown figure to them. the question i suppose that how absolutely was the degree to which he was someone who was the focus of attention. was he a priority or had he featured in the background of other investigations as some unrelated or distantly connected to someone unrelated or distantly connected to someone who was unrelated or distantly connected to someone who was a unrelated or distantly connected to someone who was a priority? in many ways it is a difficult one because the one hand the fact that authorities were looking at him and knew he was could be interpreted as a loss, why didn't ca

the police and the security services believe this attack was carried out by one man but they must nowder group. ofwat he was acting alone. —— or whether he was acting alone. it will take some time to establish these facts and the investigation will continue. the police and security services will be given all of the resources they need to complete that task. the police and security services believe they know the identity of the perpetrator, but that this stage of their investigations, we cannot confirm his name. the police and emergency services have, as always, acted with great courage and on behalf of the country, i want to express our gratitude to them. they acted in accordance with the plans they have in place and the exercises they conduct to test those plans. and they performed with the utmost professionalism. 400 police officers were involved in the operation through the night and many paramedics, doctors and nurses have worked valiantly amid traumatic and terrible scenes. saving lives and caring for the wounded. significant resources have been deployed to the police investigati

the suicide bomber who struck here in manchester was known to security services. police say he was part of a wider network and four more people have been arrested. before salman abedi carried out the attack he travelled to libya — police believe he was not acting alone. it's very clear that this is a network that we are investigating, as i said it continues at a pace, there's extensive investigations going on. britain's threat level has been raised to critical — the highest there is — it means there will be troops on the streets at key locations. as the victims are named — each brings a story of tragic loss — from young lives cut short to parents who went to collect their children. also, britain is not happy that intelligence shared with america about the attack was leaked to us journalists. officials in the uk say american authorities revealed information which could have hindered the investigation. plus, the president and the pope. donald trump goes to the vatican for what he calls the honour of a lifetime. these two weren't always so friendly. hi, i'm christian

mr corbyn promised that a labour government would give the security services the money they required,lection campaign, and todayjeremy corbyn has repeated views he has held for decades, that military action abroad has made the uk less safe. but, to others, that sounds like an excuse for terrorism. senior conservatives have been quick to hit out at the labour leader, calling his speech monstrous. this has been caused not by us, asjeremy corbyn would have us believe. it‘s been caused by a sick ideology, a perverted version of islam, that hates us and hates our way of life. and to say anything now to legitimate orjustify those who have carried out the atrocity in manchester is, in my view, absolutely obscene. the arguments have returned, and so have election photo opportunities. the snp leader condemned the manchester attack, but said politicians shouldn‘t shy away from debate. bombing campaigns, whether in syria or libya, without a coherent strategy to tackle the underlying problems there, often hinder rather than help those situations. so i think these are the things we need to debate,

he dropped out of salford university and was already known to security services.al i spoke to yesterday who was a very close friend of the family, described him as a nieve individual. described him as a naive individual. it would indicate he could not have put the explosive belt on. he must have had support helping him do that. meanwhile, the search for clues continues. forensic, digital and testimonies from witnesses and suspects. this, say the police, is a fast moving, wide—ranging investigation. let's talk more about the investigation, wide ranging and fast moving. extensive and now international as well. 0ur correspondent catriona renton is at greater manchester police headquarters. what are you being told they're about the likely direction of this investigation? as you said the investigation? as you said the investigation is moving at quite a pace. let me bring you up to date with what we have learned so far. it appears a crucial question in this investigation may have now been answered. was salman abedi acting alone? the chief constable spoke here earlier to

mr corbyn promised that a labour government would give the security services the money they required, be reversed. the issue of security could dominate the rest of this election campaign and todayjeremy corbyn has repeated views he has held for decades that military action abroad has made the uk less safe. to others, that sounds like an excuse for terrorism. senior conservatives were quick to hit out at the labour leader, calling his speech monstrous. this has been caused not by us, asjeremy corbyn would have us believe. it's been caused by a sick ideology, a perverted version of islam, that hates us and hates our way of life. to say anything now to legitimate orjustify those who have carried out the atrocity in manchester is, in my view, absolutely obscene. the arguments have returned and so have election photo opportunities. the snp leader condemned the manchester attack but said politicians shouldn't shy away from debate. bombing campaigns, whether in syria or libya, without a coherent strategy to tackle the underlying problems there, often hinder rather than help those situations.

this is symptomatic of the fact that the security services have to be a little bit, or substantially,explains what it means, you can be kept out of the country for up to two years. it is not inconsiderable. it isa two years. it is not inconsiderable. it is a case of slamming the stable door after the horse has gone. from what we have learned about the perpetrator of the manchester bombing, he seemed to be coming and going from here to libya without much attention being paid to him, and that has got to change. that is what this is about. travel documents can be cancelled, they can refuse re—entry unless they agree to restrictions, or reporting to police ona restrictions, or reporting to police on a regular basis. you would imagine that would be quite helpful to the authorities. that ought to be happening more than just once. to the authorities. that ought to be happening more thanjust oncelj wonder why it has not. we are not experts, but it suggests they have just been rather lax. the bomb was on the radar, he was one of several hundred that the security services we re hundred that the

it's coming from this independent group within the security services. agencies will see the priority to responding to the threat level which is at the highest now which means that not only is the threat highly likely, it is also potentially imminent. which means of focus needs to be drawn towards it. how long this high threat level is retained and continues will be down to the progress made by the security services and counterterrorism in determining and ascertaining other known associates to the perpetrator. for people watching here in the uk, particularly larger cities, the shift will have been visible today, the presence of more security services on the streets. indeed and the introduction of military personnel. this is something that has been planned back to 2015 as a contingency should we have this critical level, optimum level in terms of threat. ultimately the introduction will work quite differently to some of the comparisons i have heard today in regard to say france and their state of emergency. we have up to 5000 military personnel, just less

i think this is an area that the security services struggled to do because their focus is on securityrance — the first visit by a russian president in the past five years. it's also the first meeting with french president emmanuel macron since his election earlier this month. our correspondent hugh schofield is in paris. it is one of those occasions when you would quite like to be a fly on the wall, i'm guessing. you would. i haven't seen the handshake, but it would be interesting to see the handshake, too, after his famous handshake, too, after his famous handshake with donald trump, emmanuel macron. he is on a mission to make his mark, to show the world that france's back on the world stage and a country with great self—confidence in a newly invigorated europe, as he would like to see it. that is his mission. some have raised questions about why he is honouring vladimir putin in this way, especially given the fact that all the signals coming out of moscow worried that emmanuel macron was the last person they wanted to see. vladimir putin made it clear that he would much rather have

were the security services watching? the country and questions again will be asked about that. the guardian as well. young life stolen by terror. two pictures of the same girls on the front and on the bottom of their people holding pictures, placards saying that they love manchester. and, indeed, an interesting phrase now. manchester, united. red and blue together. anyone who watched the footage of the vigil tonight would have been deeply moved by it. i know manchester quite well and i know how proud people are of the city and how much of a sense of the community there is there. it was incredibly powerful to see so many people out there in the late evening sunshine coming together. i don't if you saw, there was a poet who read our pome about manchester that is incredibly powerful to watch. everyone should really see that. i think the new mayor of the city has done a terrificjob mayor of the city has done a terrific job today. he mayor of the city has done a terrificjob today. he is only two weeks into thejob terrificjob

he was known to the security services.has described him as gullible and short tempered and that he'd become increasingly religious at school. there are now reports he had travelled to countries where it is it extremists are based. the french interior minister said he had been told by investigators here in britain that salman abedi had gone to libya and then without doubt to syria. he said he had been radicalised and decided to commit this attack. yesterday, heavily armed police carried out raids in south manchester, arresting his brother. there have been more raids today with another three men arrested in the city. with the authorities increasingly concerned, salman abedi was part of a network of extremists, the terrorist threat level has been raised to critical, the highest possible. it means armed police can now be backed up by troops across the country. this was a horrific, violent event. those more sophisticated than some of the horrific events we have seen in the past in other parts of europe. people are reasonably wo

abedi was known to security services. there had been warnings about his radicalisation.topped before he carried out his murderous attack? since 2013, 18 plots have been thwarted, five since the westminster attack in march. could, should this one have been prevented too? let's get more from our home affairs correspondent daniel sandford, who is outside the headquarters of greater manchester police. we saw a series of raids and searches, what is the latest you are hearing? it is worth saying that the raid in wigan, where the bomb disposal officers were called, appears to be over, people have been allowed to return home, and nothing dangerous seems to have been found, so that seems to have been resolved safely. on the wider investigation, i got the sense in the first 36 hours that detectives were struggling to make progress, but that has changed in the last 2a hours, i get the sense they know who the bomber is, when he arrived in the bomber is, when he arrived in the country, where he spent the weekend before the attack, they have an idea about his associates and even maybe

the police and security services must have the resources they need to continue this investigation andolice and those involved in the emergency services for the amazing way they responded to this terrible incident. i have been hearing of police officers, off duty, turning up to make sure they could contribute and help. so many people have helped. it's the spirit of manchester, of britain and one thing i am sure of is that terrorists will not prevail. there are other concerts and music festivals who will start to worry about children and young people, will they be safe this summer? what can you do to ensure this? the police and others will be looking at the security of venues to make sure that people can continue to enjoy some events, feeling secure. what is clear is that we are ensuring the resources a re clear is that we are ensuring the resources are available for the police in order to do the job they need to do. this was a horrendous attack, absolutely horrific. barbaric in its nature, but what i wa nt to barbaric in its nature, but what i want to be clear about is that we will not

this young man, no previous experience of government, he bypasses the state department and the security servicesneed private communication, and he was taking general flynn with them who was at that point the incoming national security adviser, and we want to have tried it communications. it does not look good. it comes on top ofa does not look good. it comes on top of a series of other stories in the last two weeks in this mushrooming situation. the fbi directorjames comey was fired. jared kushner told him to get rid of them. why? perhaps the fbi investigation was getting close to revealing this fact which, by the way, came to the washington post in an anonymous letter. while it is so much leaking? the white house is being run almost like an episode of the apprentice. jared kushner is a senior special advisor and he clearly has the president's year. and he clearly has the president's yea r. steve and he clearly has the president's year. steve bannon is also a special adviser and apparently they and jared kushner do not get on and both sides leak against the other. i'm assuming the washington pos

this is a constant threat security services are tackling.ly, last night, something slipped through and happened. this is not something you can plan for. you can have all that intelligence and take all those precautions. you can know who was behind it, but you will never be able to plan for everything. they will look at the motive and take those accounts from witnesses, the sound, where it was placed. earlier, tom mullen gave us the latest from manchester. i am ten minutes from the arena. the area has been cordoned off. we are being pushed back by the police who seem very keen to clear the wider area. there are some people who are obviously still in shock. people are looking for information and are on their phones, very much contacting their friends and family to let them know they're friends and family to let them know they‘ re safe. friends and family to let them know they're safe. there is still a lot of confusion. only a small amount of information has filtered out from the police. people are very shaken. i have spoken to people who worry

there will be more police on the street under a labour government and if the security services need more murder and maim, then they should and will get them. we will also change what we do abroad. many experts including professionals in oui’ experts including professionals in our intelligence and security services have pointed out the connections between wars that we have been involved in or supported in other countries such as libya, and terrorism here at home. that assessment in no way reduces the guilt of those who attack our children, those terrorists will for ever be reviled and implacably held to account for their actions. informed understanding of the causes of terrorism is an essential part of an effective response that will protect the security of our people. that fight rather than fuels terrorism. protecting this country requires us to be both strong against terrorism and strong against the causes of terrorism. the blame is with the terrorists but if we're to protect our people we must be honest about what our security. those causes certainly cannot be reduced to foreign policy

the police and security services will be worried about that here. and various stories around his presidency, even if people at the top say stop the leaking, it doesn't mean the lea ks top say stop the leaking, it doesn't mean the leaks stopped. we have seen this before. even after thejuly bombings in 2005, some images of devices came out of the us media after the us and try law enforcement got hold of them. they get a lot because of the close relationship. it is big and leaks more, if you like, then british intelligence does. that has caused a problem for the relationship in this case. we're satisfied that what the new york times has published a legitimate pictures from the scene of the crime? novum has questioned they are real pictures yet. they appear to be actual crime photographs from the investigation. gordon, thanks for the update. we will update further on the manchester situation in a few minutes' time. send me questions about the manchester situation using social media. 0r about the manchester situation using social media. or the website. d

all politicians who voted for a reduction in spending in security services and the police must look athemselves in the mirror. ukip has been struggling to keep pace since the eu vote last year but in clacton today, the only place ever to choose a ukip mp, today's tougher approach did find some favour. i think the borders need to be closed off at the minute. they cannot check everybody, they are cutting down the police force, the army... yet for other politicians it is too soon. i think it is entirely the wrong approach. we are supporting the police, intelligence services and victims. we need to make sure they get the support they need, it is not a time for making political points. you are feeding the fears that cause the problem in this country today. ukip deliberately wants to be seen as the party that is ready to say the unsayable. our first on the stump today since the manchester attack, but challenging extremism has been noticeably absent from the election... not any more. but voters have been moving away from ukip, and with net migration on the way down and britain leaving the eu,

since the suicide bombing on monday night, police and security services have become convinced that salmanf a terror network — that's the focus of their investigation. our home editor, mark easton, reports now, on the investigation. where is the bomb factory? is a terror cell linked to monday's attack poised to strike again? this morning as the country stood in silence, armed police were shouting at residents in manchester to take cover after reports of a suspect package in a block of flats. there was armed police and they were squatting down, shouting at everyone. when the bomb disposal arrived we got told to take cover. it felt there was a a potential explosion. i saw my daughter and your first instance is i need my child. the city isjittering as police try to track the movements of salman abedi. they arrested him and the army became. this what is the search for a bomb factory looks like, a tip off, a raid and an arrest, but the search goes on. this raid did not produce the lead they hoped for, but the investigation is understood to be taking progress. there were two raids and two arrest

yes, this isn't the first time the security services have been reviewed and had questions asked aboutid face questions back then but what will happen now is an inquiry is going to take place into how that information about salman abedi was dealt with. we are hearing the security services were told three times about his extremist views so now the questions and they are going to face is what happened with that information. were any errors made? have is that information passed on? who excel you dealt with it and could any more have been done? we heard from the home secretary yesterday who said that it's very important not to jump to conclusions, not instantly think that mis to conclusions, not instantly think that m15 agents did miss anything. what we know is salman abedi was on a list of 20,000 people that posed a threat in the past. he wasn't on the smaller list that they have of 3000 people that pose an imminent threat, so questions are going to be asked surrounding security services as the police investigation of course is continuing. thank you very much indeed. sad news that we brou
