Laying flowers, reading some of the messages. This was the place in Albert Square where many people gathered last night for a vigil here. It was an emotional occasion, but there was a lot of resilience and many people obviously drawing attention to the fact that so many children have been caught up, so many children hurt and injured and were hearing a little more, of course, about some of the agonising searches for those kill missing. I draw your attention to the story you maybe familiar with this this. This is olivia campbell, 15 years old, herfamily this is olivia campbell, 15 years old, her family have confirm this morning that she is the fourth person to be named as one of those who has died in the Suicide Bombing Attack on monday. You will remember that her mother charlotte made a until of appeals and her Friends And Family have been looking for her, but they have confirmed today, she is amongst the dead. So lets bring you up to date with the latest developments. The uk Terror Threat has been raised to its highest level. That is critical. Meaning that further Terror Attack is expected. Investigators are unable to rule out whether the suspect, salman abedi, the Suicide Bomber had indeed acted alone. In practical terms the changes in the Terror Threat mean there will be some troops on the streets working alongside police officers. So lets talk more about some of the issues raised today, samantha nou bury is lecture at the University Of Salford down the road from here. Looking at the comments from here. Looking at the comments from amber rudd who is talking about the information in Connection With Salman Abedi and she suggests that he was known to the authorities and the latest comments im just reading here say, she is saying that it seems likely he was not acting alone. Just tell us the implications of that, the implication presumably is that he is part of a Wider Network . Yes, thats certainly the inference thats been made there. Even when we knew it was an Improvised Explosive Device that does suggest that some degree of help was given to this individual in order to either acquire that weapon 01 order to either acquire that weapon or to order to either acquire that Weapon Orto Gain Training Order to either acquire that weapon or to gain training in how to build it himself. In terms of the investigation this is very important, isnt it, if he were deemed to be someone who was acting alone, you would not need to widen the net. That means potentially there are people linked to him still active in society and possibly in this area . It does seem very likely that there is intelligence that confirms that he did have links with other people who were actively involved in planning Terrorist Attacks and that would be the reason for raising the threat level to critical. Samantha more is emerging about him and his story, he was born in manchester and spent most of his life in manchester and we know he was at university, i think, for two yea rs, was at university, i think, for two years, what picture is emerging for you of who he was . Well, we dont know a huge amount at this time. One of the key questions is at what point was he radicalised . Was that a recent thing or a longer process that he has gone through . And at what point might somebody have intervened perhaps to have halted that process . One of the suggestions thats been talked about this morning that he recently returned from libya, having spent sometime there, having spent pretty much all his life in the uk until then, but may have recently returned from libya . Yes, and it will be interesting to see when we find out his reasons for going to libya. He Family Connections in libya. That might have been the main motivation, but to what extent if at all was liaising with people with certain expertise and beliefs in libya the motivation for going or was that the by product of him going to libya for other reasons . Samantha, thank you very much. Samantha is a intelligence and Security Lecturer at the University Of Salford. We will bring you up to date with everything. But we will be speaking toa everything. But we will be speaking to a lot of people who feel very close to what happened on monday night. More here from manchester later on. Studio we will see you shortly. We will be tack being how you have a conversation with your children about what happened. Thats coming up about what happened. Thats coming up in the next few minutes. Im going to remind you at 8. 35am. We have had news in the last half an hour that five people have died in a collision on the m6 in staffordshire. The southbound carriageway between junction 15 for Stoke On Trent and 1a for stafford is now closed and will be for some considerable time. We understand this information coming from Policement One person has been critically injured according to Staffordshi Re critically injured according to Staffordshire Police and the fire service is saying there is severe gridlock. If we get more information we will tell you about it. A 37 year old man has been arrested at Stansted Airport on suspicion of preparing for acts of terrorism. He was held before boarding a flight to turkey. Officers are now searching two residential addresses in north london. Scotland yard say the arrest was not linked to mondays Manchester Arena bombing. Donald trump has arrived at the vatican this morning to meet pope francis as part of his first foreign tour as us president. This will be mr trumps first meeting with the pope. During last years president ial election campaign, pope francis attacked mr trumps plans to build a wall along the Mexican Border saying they werent christian. Mr trump described the comments as disgraceful. An inquest into the sydney cafe siege more than two years ago has found extensive failings within the police and justice system. Man haron monis held 18 people hostage inside the cafe until police stormed the building 17 hours later. A coroner has ruled that authorities made major errors including not acting moments before a hostage was killed. Marks and spencer have announced a 64 drop in profits in their annual results out this morning. Thats when costs of restructuring the business are included.

The james bond star daniel craig has joined tributes to the actor sir roger moore, who died yesterday. A picture of the two together was posted on the official james bond twitter account, along with the words nobody does it better love daniel. Sir roger, who played bond in seven films in the 70s and 805, died after a short illness at the age of 89. Sir rogerjoined us on the Breakfast Sofa in 2015 and reflected on his years as the smooth talking spy. Very lucky. I had a wonderful time. Marvellous crews, marvellous correctors, lovely actors and actresses, what more could you want . They give you lovely clothes and you can take them home at the end of the film and they pay you what a lovely man. Sally is here with all the sport. Manchester is so much at the heart of it, a Football City as well and they have been paying tribute, so many of the footballers, havent they . This is Manchester United before training last night in stockholm. They are getting ready for a really Big Game Tonight and the club has been reflecting on the events of monday night and paying their own tribute. They are preparing to take on ajax tonight and Jose Mourinho says the hearts and Jose Mourinho says the hearts and minds of everyone at the club are are with those affected. Andy swiss joins us from stoke home. Tonight promises to be a poignant occasion . Yes, the atmosphere here is more subdued than normal. The Manchester United players held a minutes silence before training in manchester yesterday. They were due to hold a Press Conference when they arrived out here in stockholm last night, but that was cancelled in the light of the events in manchester and Jose Mourinho issued a statement saying we cannot take out of our minds and our hearts the Venus Williams and their families. It is a pity we cannot fly with the happiness that we always have before a big game. Now, the Manchester United fans are also starting to arrive out here. Obviously, we are expecting around 10,000 Manchester United fans at their end and others will be in neutral parts of the stadium and understandably they are all utterly shocked by what happened. I spoke to several fans yesterday who knew of people who had been inside the Manchester Arena at the time of the attack, but a lot of them are now talking about wanting to win the trophy, not just for theirteam, but to win the trophy, not just for their team, but for the entire city of manchester. Some of the fans have been preparing a giant banner that will be displayed inside the stadium tonight saying, manchester, a city united. Thats very much the prevailing sentiment. The players will be wearing black armbands and there will be a minutes silence before the match. A lot of pre match activities have been scaled back as foot ball activities have been scaled back as football prepares to pay tribute. Andy, for the 10,000 fans who travelled to stockholm will they see a dramatic increase in security ahead of the game . Well, security will be tight. Stockholm remember is a city still recovering from its own Terrorist Attack here last month. Now, Authorities Say that they had already increased security in the light of those attacks, but they say there is no specific intelligence of any threat to tonights game. However, it will be a huge Security Operation. Around 1200 police will be on duty around the stadium. Fans are being urged to get to the stadium early because there will be lengthy Security Checks on the way into the stadium. So it will be a huge Security Operation on what is obviously a hugely significant night both for Manchester United and for the entire game of football. Andy, thank you very much indeed. Thats andy swiss, our correspondent, in stockholm and also tonight, it is a big final. It is sure to be an emotional game for the players and for the fans that travelled and for everybody watching at home. Were going to watch up with the weather. Carol is talking about really high temperatures. Good morning. Good morning. By saturday some of us will have temperatures into the 30s. Temperatures already 16 to 18 celsius for many parts. There is cloud and there is sunshine and as we go through the day some more cloud will break allowing more sunshine to develop and it will feel warm. So across the north and the west, weve got the cloud, but you can see where its breaking upment fair Weather Cloud will develop, not spoiling the day any and there will be one or two showers dotted around. There is some coastal fog across the South Western Approaches and that will be with us through the day, you will be with us through the day, you will be with us through the day, you will be unlucky though if it laps on shore. A lot of dry weather and sunshine after a dull start. The same too across parts of wales. Move inland, there is cloud around. Some of it is medium or high cloud. There isa of it is medium or high cloud. There is a lot of sunshine around too. Highs up to 26 celsius or 2 celsius. For northern ireland, mostly dry, with the odd shower and Northern England some sunshine, the Odd Shower Across South West Scotland and murky across the west highlands, argyll and bute. Through this evening and overnight there will be a lot of dry weather around and there will be cloud breaks and we will have the coastal fog in the South Western Approaches and through the english channel. Its going to bea the english channel. Its going to be a muggy night as well. Temperatures not dipping lower than double figures in towns and cities. Quite sultry in london at 17 celsius. So we have that oppressive start it the day on thursday. Any Cloud Melting away and there will be more sunshine than were looking at today so as a result, the temperatures will be higher. Were looking at up to 26 celsius, possibly 27 celsius, but look how widely the 20s are appearing on the charts. North of scotland, again, it wont be as warm, but its going to be warmer than its going to be today. For friday, a bit of an action replay. It will be dry. It will be sunny and those temperatures still high. High for the time of year, a bit more of a sea breeze coming in along the north sea coast line the if you prefer it cooler, thats the place to head. As we move into the weekend, High Pressure is dominating our weather. So all this warm Continental Air is coming across our shores. Widely we are looking at between 25 celsius and 30 celsius, but locally in the south, we could hit 30 celsius, possibly more. But there is a fly in the ointment in the shape of this Weather Front. Thats going to be producing showery outbreaks of rain some of which will be thundery and it will be drifting northwards with fresher conditions coming in behind. So this is saturday. Our Weather Front moving from the west towards the north east, a bit of dry weather around it. The timing and position of this could still change so dont ta ke of this could still change so dont take this as gospel at the moment and then as we head into sunday, that moves away, fresher conditions prevail. Its not going to feel cold. Its not going to feel as hot as its going to do on saturday. Lou. Britain is on a critical terror alert this morning for the first time in ten years. The Prime Minister theresa may raised the threat level meaning another atrocity the Home Secretary, amber rudd joins me now from westminster. We know the terror alert has been traced to critical. According to the home office website, that means an attack is expected imminently. The Prime Ministers said, maybe expected, which is it . This is an operational matter, really, to work out how imminent it is. Your definition is right, though. We have been at severe, meaning an attack is likely. Critical means an attack is imminent. Jtac, who is independent, decided at the end of the day yesterday that we should be raised to this higher level of critical. We have given the Intelligence Services and police, who worked closely together, Additional Support to make sure they can continue their investigation. We hope everybody can stay safe during that period. The fa ct stay safe during that period. The fact you raised it to critical means that you have intelligence . Can i correct one thing. It has been raised to critical, but it is based on intelligence that is assessed by a by on intelligence that is assessed by a by jtac. On intelligence that is assessed by a byjtac. I cant be drawn any further on operational matters. A byjtac. I cant be drawn any further on operational matterslj understand further on operational matters. understand that. We also have Information Today that we understand he was known to Security Services. Can you tell me how he was known . No, icant can you tell me how he was known . No, i cant do that. I am sure we will find out more over the next few days and weeks, and that will come out at some stage. But at the moment, the really important thing, i believe, is to give the police and Investigation Services the support and space they need to conclude this operation, which as you rightly say, has taken our level of threat to critical. I know you have said this morning that he was known up to a point, can you give me any more information on what you mean by that . Im afraid i cant. The Intelligence Services know a lot of people. I am sure we will find out what level they knew in due course. But at the moment, they have confirmed they did know about him. And as i say, we will find out more when the operation is complete. There are suggestions that he may have recently returned from libya, is there more information on that . Yes, i believe that has been confirmed. When this operation is over, we will want to look at his background and what happened, how he became radicalised, and what support he might have been given. But at the moment, our attention is focused on the operation itself, which must be the operation itself, which must be the priority to keep everybody safe. You have mentioned jtac, who is on it . It is a group of intelligence and Foreign Security experts. It is under the auspices, really, and Foreign Security experts. It is underthe auspices, really, of and Foreign Security experts. It is under the auspices, really, of m15, and they, of course, have an operational responsibility although independent, of reporting to me. It isa group independent, of reporting to me. It is a group with particular expertise in intelligence, Foreign Affairs and terrorism. Can you give an example of whom . Like to . I cant. Elements have two be kept confidential. Can you tell us at this point if you know or are investigating whether he acted alone . That is exactly what the ongoing operation is trying to establish, as has been pointed out. This was an horrific, violent event. It was more sophisticated than some of the horrific events we have seen in the past or in other parts of europe. People are reasonably wondering whether he did this on his own. Iam wondering whether he did this on his own. I am making sure that the police and Intelligence Services doing that investigation have the support they need to find out who might have been working with him because ultimately, our focus might have been working with him because ultimately, ourfocus is a lwa ys because ultimately, ourfocus is always going to be on making sure that people are safe. Keeping them safe is the best way to do that and making sure the operation ends. On the point of safety, this level being raised to critical, or does it mean in practical terms . Being raised to critical, or does it mean in practicalterms . One thing it means is we have begun Operation Tempora, which means the police can access Military Personnel and equipment when they need it in order to make sure they can step up levels of security. Over the next few days, there are a number of events, there is the great manchester run, a number of big Public Events taking place, and we want to make sure everybody feels safe. This will enable the police do have extra resources to give that evidential support at those events, so that people can carry on with their lives. We hope people will carry on. I would urge people to be more bitterly than usual, to be alert, not alarmed, to call the Terrorist Hotline or their local police force if they are concerned, but we mustnt let these sort of events stop our way of life. We will make sure these events are properly policed. The police have the support they need and Operation Tempora will allow additional Military Support so that people can carry on. You talk about Military Support, does that mean soldiers on our streets miz how many and for how long . It is up to the police to decide how they want to call those down. It is an operational matter. How long is quite important. I would expect this to be temporarily. We will see how long we need them for, but we will keep our careful eye on it, and when it is appropriate, we will end Operation Tempora, and go back to our different level. Days rather than weeks . I cant comment in any more detail because it is an operational matter. But i repeat, we expect this to be temporary. Thank you for your time. Lots more information coming to us at all points this morning. I can show you the first image we have of the man named as the bomber, salman abedi. We know he is 22, we can speak to our Security Correspondent frank gardner, what more can you tell us this morning . The libyan connection is really the one that people are burying deep into. The big concern here is who helped him. The device was too sophisticated for one person to put together on their own. It was a viable and sophisticated device of a viable and sophisticated device of a completely different order to be ham fisted, low tech attacks that have taken place across Continental Europe in recent months. The fear, andi europe in recent months. The fear, and i dont want to alarm people unduly, but the worst Case Scenario is that there is a bomb maker, an expert bomb maker, somewhere at large in the uk, who helped him build this or built it for him. But thatis build this or built it for him. But that is only one possible theory. It is believed salman abedi is of libyan origin, his father was in opposition to colonel gaddafis regime in libya, that is why they left libya. He is believed, the bomber, to have spent some time recently in libya. There are a number of Training Camps there where he could have got this expertise. But if he only returned in the last few days, he will have had to have worked quickly to produce this device, which leads to other possibilities. Was it already prepared, or did somebody make it for him . That is why there is urgency to follow up all the leads, using forensics, that will be for the government Explosives Laboratory in kent. Gchq will chase up the digital links, and the questioning of witnesses, people that have known him, Friends And Family. Frank, we have been speaking to the Home Secretary here amber rudd. So much of this is based on intelligence that we are not able to know at this point. We do know, though, that the Terror Threat has been raised. She gave us Terror Threat has been raised. She gave us some Terror Threat has been raised. She gave us some of the reasons why, and we know that soldiers will be deployed as well. What does it all mean in practical terms, do you think . It means that police leave gets cancelled. They really stretch themselves to maximum resources. They can only do that for a limited period of time. It is absolutely exhausting. The worry is that if there are people at large, they will simply lie low and wait for people to relax their guard a bit. There again, they have got to take a risk, the longer they wait if they have got more devices, there is the risk of them being discovered. But lets hope there arent any more other devices. In terms of numbers, the sort of figures being talked about last night between military and the police were between 400 800 military or Armed Service men and women being deployed. You witnesses every see them walking up and down the streets like the way the french did in reaction to their Terrorist Attack. They will free up the police to do more of their own patrols, to keep the public say. But they will stretch themselves to full resources , stretch themselves to full resources, which is why it is unlikely to last more than a few weeks to have this high visibility, high stretch approach. Frank gardner, our Security Correspondent, thank you very much. We were speaking to amber rudd in the last few minutes or so, she confirmed that Security Services are trying to establish whether or not salman abedi, 22, acted alone. Charlie is in manchester this morning, where thousands of people descended on the city to pay tribute and stand in solidarity, in many ways, with the people affected by the bombing on monday. He is there for us now. We are bringing you details on the Police Investigation in the heightened terror alert. The centre of manchester has been a focal point for people passing by. A lot of people coming along and taking a moment to look at some of the flowers. We saw you coming by, i hope you dont mind, you shed a tear as you stood here. Yeah. Why did you want to come here and be here in this moment . It is our route to work anyway. We walked to dean s gate, we work around the corner. We came through here yesterday morning and it was so quiet. No traffic, no people, no birds. People had their heads down as well. This morning, we thought we will get off the train, get some flowers, and come to say sorry, the cars they are just innocent children. Nothing makes it right, how old you are, but having children ourselves, it brings it home a little bit more. It isjust so sad. We came this morning, put down some flowers on our way to work, and we will come by everyday that there are flowers, because it is our route. I know you are having a moment, but thank you for sharing your thoughts. A lot of people that have passed by the the same way. So thank you. I will have a brief words now. Imam Irfan Chishti from the Manchester Central mosquejoins me now. Good morning and thank you for your time. People are sharing their forts this morning. A lot of questions being asked today. What are your thoughts on the events of monday quiz iam i am reflecting, it is saddening. I ama i am reflecting, it is saddening. I am a father of an eight year old. It is heart wrenching. Trying to make sense of it all is quite difficult. Lots of questions i know, and people will look at me as an imam, a religious figure. Last night, i was thinking about all these things. Salman abedi, a clearer picture is emerging of who he was, he was born and was brought up in manchester, so many questions about how it is that someone can go from that place to this place. It is exceptionally complex. There isnt one particular thing that we can pinpoint. From my perspective, i am thing that we can pinpoint. From my perspective, iam here thing that we can pinpoint. From my perspective, i am here to reassure people. And the louder and stronger we make that boy is clear that this has absolutely no place in the faith of islam, and people have said it all along, and i of islam, and people have said it allalong, and i had of islam, and people have said it all along, and i had to reiterate the message, because i do know that U Nfortu Nately the message, because i do know that unfortunately there are elements out there that are scaremongering, and will use this opportunity to do to divide. But we stand together. hope we have been able to give you a sense of some of the emotions it. Right now, we have the news, travel and weather where you are. This morning manchester, united. Troops are to be deployed at key locations and events after the official Terror Threat was raised to the highest level critical last night. This means that their assessment is not only that an attack remains remains highly likely, but that a further attack may be imminent. The Home Secretary amber rudd says it seems highly likely that the bomber, 22 year old salman abedi, was not acting alone. Its thought that he may have visited libya very recently and returned only a few days ago. It is somebody who they had known before and im sure when this investigation concludes we will be able to find out more
