welcome a national body, the joint terrorism analysis centre, a fusion cell of around 100 specialistsreats to uk security 2a hours a day. their advice to the government is mandatory. we're currently at severe which means terrorist attack is thought to be highly likely. if they think another attack is imminent, it has to go up to critical. which is what happened after the manchester arena bombing, because at the time they wrongly thought there was a bomb maker out there making other devices. in fact there making other devices. in fact the bomb maker was salman abedi, who died in the blast. this attack although it appears to have failed to carry out its original huge damage, the perpetrator is still at large, so i'm quite surprised in a way, moving it up to critical is a big step. it doesn't happen very often, it's not a decision taken lightly, it involves calling people off leave, and an extra guard, an intensive, exhaustive process that can only last a few days. they will have been reluctant to do it, but in mind there would have been justification. frank gardner. let's cross back to

gtech, which is thejoint terrorism analysis centre, which sits inside m15 headquarters, they are constantlyonal threat level from severe, which is the second highest to what is called critical core meaning imminent. they haven't raised it, but it was raised immediately after the manchester bombing, because then it was thought that the bomber had used a device made by a separate person, a bomb maker. whoever placed this device it is thought probably survived it and is therefore at large. it would be logicalfor them to raise it to critical. that is one thing. the actual device itself, we are starting to learn a bit more about this. it looks like it was only partially successful device. i hate to use the word successful, it is horrible, but an explosives expert i spoke to said this was essentially a gleeful accretion rather than a destination, meaning it caught fire rather than exploding. so there were burns under flash, but there was not a big blast that would have everybody next to it. so this is looking a similar field mixed explosive, in the way that the fields devices that didn't go off a
