Theres continued criticism of the leaking of sensitive evidence to us Media Outlets the Chief Constable of Greater Manchester police said it had caused distress to the families of the victims. More on all of that in a moment, but first our chief correspondent gavin hewitt reports on the minutes silence that has united the people of manchester with the rest of the country. In the minutes before the silence, that yous, thousands headed to reflect, to remember, to stand together. Bell tolls. Bugle sounds. In manchester, a long minute ended with applause. Applause. It was really beautiful andi applause. It was really beautiful and i thought it was so nice eve ryo ne and i thought it was so nice everyone coming here and showing the respect. Todays been a time to reflect and a time of remembrance and at the same time to show strength and unity and our support to those who have lost their loved ones. You had enjoyed the concert . It was good. I got to meet her before the concert. She was lovely. Really . During the morning the queen visited the royal manchester Childrens Hospital and spoke to some of the wounded. In one conversation she described the attack as wicked. Very wicked. Another patient spoke about her shrapnel wounds. Mines gone through 15 centimetres out the other side. Im due in surgery this afternoon. 75 people are still in hospital and some will need reconstructive surgery. Some will need reconstructive surgery. Today was a reminder of what unites people a determination not to allow the bombing to define the city. Even while people are seeking answers as to how a young man born here could carry out such an attack. Tonight hundreds were still laying flowers, a day of solidarity after the targeting of children and teenagers. Jane hill is at st anns square in manchester. Youve been there today amongst the emotional scenes. George, i dont i can overstate how incredibly moving it has been to be here today. You can see im sure that people are still coming here in this beautiful evening here in st anns square, laying flowers, looking at the tributes. But that one minutes silence was one of the most moving things i have experienced. The silence itself absolutely observed as you would expect. But it was that applause, that spontaneous applause and itself was prolonged. I felt that spontaneous applause and itself was prolonged. Ifelt as if that that spontaneous applause and itself was prolonged. I felt as if that was a response from the crowd that said, we are not defeated, we are a diverse city, you will not divide us, we diverse city, you will not divide us, we are diverse city, you will not divide us, we are still here. I was so struck by that and so many people watching it were i think and a lot of us welled up, it was impossible not to. After the applause came singing. A group of men from behind me started singing dont look back in anger, a Famous Manchester Song from a Famous Manchester Band and thatis from a Famous Manchester Band and that is the spirit reflected on these flowers. An extraordinary resilience which has been very moving to experience. Thank you very much. In their latest update, Greater Manchester police say their initial searches of premises have revealed items that are very important to the investigation. Since the Suicide Bombing on monday night, police and Security Services have become convinced that salman abedi was part of a Terror Network thats 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 mondays 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 arrests in manchester and a linked swoop on a Proot 75 Mimes South in nuneaton where another man was arrested. There are now eight men in custody. I want to reassure people that the arrests we are made are significant and searches have revealed items that believe are important to the investigation. Police are piecing together abedis movement. It understood he left to libya and returned to the uk via istanbul and germany. Police believe he may have been at a property a short distance from where the bomb exploded. Bmp but where else had he been. Forensics and cctv, every method for tracking his movements is being pursued. We have been overwhelmed with support from the public and i would ask for patience to continue from the communities here in manchester as we carry out the searches. There are nagging questions though. Why wasnt abedi stopped before he carried out the attack . Since 2013, 18 plots have been thwarted. Could, should this one have been prevented too . Our home affairs correspondent, daniel sandford, is outside Greater Manchester police headquarters. Daniel, police clearly feel they are making progress in this investigation . I thought the police sounded confident, or am i overstating it. For the first 36 hours it felt as if the police were still stuck in the long grass and didnt have much idea what happened. In the last 48 hours i think that landscape has changed and they feel they have got a better idea of what happened. 0ne and they feel they have got a better idea of what happened. One source said they had made significant head way and know when he came into the country and where he spent the weekend. They have got an idea about his network and who night have done what he was going to do. That is all quite important. They found significant items at some of the flats that they have searched. That is all very positive on the investigation of this particular attack. I think the negative is that there is a fear they dont really have any idea of the bigger picture. There is no sign of the threat level being reduced from critical. Some talked about a high risk and a high threat and too many unknowns and i think when it cops to going forward, police still dont feel like theyre in control. Thank you. All 22 people who lost their lives in the Suicide Bombing have now been identified. Ten teenagers and children were among those who were killed the youngest was just eight years old. Judith moritz reports now on the victims and the loss felt by their families and friends. They were loved and they are mourned. Taken by the bomb, their names keep coming. Eilidh mcleod, from the Outer Hebrides a teenager who played bagpipes and was full of fun. Courtney boyle from gateshead went to the concert with her step dad, philip tron. He too lost his life. Two people gone from one family. A wendy fowl. In her city, friends observed the minutes silence. Joined by relatives. Devastated, because she knew a lot of people, she had a lot of friends and family. And i think even if people who just knew of her, it is just such a tragedy. It is awful. Also named today, Chloe Rutherford and liam curry. They died together. Elaine mciver, a Police Officer who loved music and was on a night out off duty. Flowers have been laid at Cheshire Police headquarters for elaine. She worked for the organised crime unit. She spent 20 years work ing for the police her colleagues and friends came into work to learn they had lost one of their own. There was a book of condolence opened for the Police Officer. Elaine from all i have heard, embodies all the best about the Police Service and she cared about the community and victims and left a lasting impression on those who met her. The families of those killed can hardly take it all in. Last night one mother shared her grief at a vigil to mark the loss of her daughter, 0livia. A vigil to mark the loss of her daughter, olivia. It is such a hard time for us. I had to come. I didnt know what to do. I dont know where to be. I dont know what to do. I just knew. Something told me i had to come here. And the injured, so many injured, have so much to come to terms with. 15 year old laura has had surgery to remove shrapnel. My ea rs went had surgery to remove shrapnel. My ears went all muffled and i could see everyone rushing around. I think i was screaming. I felt pain in see everyone rushing around. I think i was screaming. Ifelt pain in my legs i think. 22 killed, more than a hundred injured. We know their names and their stories. But we will never understand their terrible loss. Today the nhs said a total of 116 people have received treatment following the manchester attack. There are 75 patients still in hospital. 23 people remain in critical care. The response to the bombing involved medical staff across eight nhs hospitals in Greater Manchester. 0ur reporter sima kotecha has been speaking to one of the nurses who looked after the injured. When we found out it was a childrens concert, it was. Im a mum and ive got kids, daughters etc, weve been to concerts. And to know that they were frightened, to know that people were lost, to know that colleagues in the Emergency Services that were on the scene, to see what we saw by the time they came here, to know that they were dealing with that at the scene, it makes your blood run cold. Charlotte was on duty the night a bomb ripped through manchester arena. She was working at stepping hill hospital, one of eight in the region myjob on that night was to ensure the safety and wellbeing of the patients and staff, ensuring everybody had what they needed in order to care for the patients that were coming in. It was only hours later the enormity of what happened began to sink in. I cried a lot when i got home for the people that i knew whose lives had been taken. I cried a lot for the people whose lives had been changed in ways that they could never go back to normal after this. Now that what does the future. What is it for them . Do they need to be frightened going to School Tomorrow . Hospital staff here have support available. Someone to talk to when it gets too much. Even though this is what they are hired to do, the full impact of what they have witnessed is yet to be felt. The atrocity that they saw that night, i know they close their eyes and see those pictures, as do i, and trying to get that out of your head when you come back to work the next day is difficult. Its really hard. That was Charlotte Brownhill speaking to sima kotecha. Police in Manchester Have condemned the leak in the United States of information relating to their investigation into mondays attack. The publication of sensitive images in the New York Times has prompted officers here to say they would now limit the amount of information theyre willing to share with counterparts in america. Today President Trump has promised to root out the source of the leak. 0ur deputy Political Editor john pienaar has this report on the transatlantic row over intelligence. A flying visit by theresa may, straight from the british front in the struggle against terrorism. Here to build alliances with partners and repair them with the biggest one of all. She wanted more co operation against terrorism and no more damage to investigations, like the leaks of intelligence by american officials after the manchester attack. We have a Special Relationship with the usa, it is our deepest defence and Security Partnership that we have. Of course, that partnership is built on trust and part of that trust is knowing that intelligence can be shared confidently, and i will be making clear to President Trump today that intelligence that is shared between Law Enforcement agencies must remain secure. Thank you. These images of bomb debris after the blast were leaked to the us media by american officials, so was the bombers identity. British officials were furious at the leaks and the story dogged President Trump. Reporter mr president , can the British Trust america with intelligence . No answer, yet, but at a ceremony for nato leaders, he led a moments silence. Innocent little girls and so many others were horribly murdered. It was a barbaric and vicious attack upon our civilisation. All people who cherish life must unite in finding, exposing and removing these killers and extremists and, yes, losers. They are losers. But leaders were forced to listen as the president gave them a severe telling off over missed targets for defence spending. But 23 of the 28 member nations are still not paying what they should be paying and what theyre supposed to be paying for their defence. This is not fair to the people and taxpayers of the United States. No doubt about who considered himself the alpha leader here, but mrs may had mentioned the importance of Sharing Intelligence and those manchester lea ks wrangled. The president released a statement calling the leaks deeply troubling and promising to bring anyone found responsible to justice. Facing terrorism, confronting other challenges, britain needs its so called Special Relationship with america to be just that, but those leaks caused fury. Trust was damaged, just when it was most needed and now, american promises to do better in future may ease the tension. Mrs may and her ministers have no choice but to accept them anyway, but fully repairing the lost trust and confidence, thatll take time. This evening solidarity is on show with President Trump, of course, centre stage. Therell be more help for operations against Islamic State, more british Help Training Troops in afghanistan. Leaders want to be seen working together but theresa may wants more, more co operation against the threats that face them all. John pienaar, bbc news, brussels. 0ur North America Editorjon Sopel is in brussels. Let me take you back to the argument over nato defence spending. Let me take you back to the argument over nato defence spendingm let me take you back to the argument over nato defence spending. It was an extraordinary lecture from donald trump. It was extraordinary i suppose, except by The Standards of donald trump who came to the summit with the idea of reading the riot act. It would not have been a co mforta ble act. It would not have been a comfortable listen for those leaders, and yet the relationship between them and donald trump is not quite as cordial as it might appear at events like this. Meanwhile nato will offer more cooperation to the organisation is going on against Islamic State in iraq and syria to help with such things as mid Air Refuelling of combat flight. Britain will be committing more forces to training on the ground in afghanistan. As far as the argument over information being leaked, british ministers will hope they can believe american reassurances that will stop in future. Hope is all they can do, and when you look at they can do, and when you look at the challenges of today, the conferences around the world confronting russia, that relationship arguably has never been as important as it is now since world war ii. Thank you very much. There was a partial resumption of campaigning in the general election today as the leader of ukip, paul nuttall, launched the partys manifesto. But the event was overshadowed by the partys accusation that theresa may had some responsibility for the manchester bombing. The current home secretary, amber rudd, said it was not the time to make political points. 0ur Political Editor, laura kuenssberg, reports. Manchester on everyones minds, but ukips manifesto was hardly a quiet affair. The party accusing theresa may of playing a part in creating the circumstances that led to mondays attack. The Prime Minister has, during her time mondays attack. The Prime Minister has, during hertime in high mondays attack. The Prime Minister has, during her time in high office, presided over cuts to our Peace Service and reductions in our armed forces too. It is also a dereliction of duty to allowjihadis to return to this country. Hes promising thousands of extra police, soldiers and border guards. His supporters jeered reporters questioning the pa rtys jeered reporters questioning the partys claims. Ask a sensible question it sounds like you are near as question it sounds like you are nearas dammit blaming question it sounds like you are near as dammit blaming the Prime Minister for this attack and the circumstances that led to it. Dont you understand english . Stupid question i am not blaming her, what im saying is the politicians in this country are too cowardly at the moment to face up to the real issue. Yet the deputy chair did say theresa may must bear some responsibility. Yet the deputy chair did say theresa may must bear some responsibilitylj think may must bear some responsibility. think all politicians who voted for the reduction of spending in Security Services and with the police have to bear some sort of responsibility. So the Prime Minister in your view has to bear some responsibility . All politicians who voted for a reduction in spending in Security Services and the police must look at themselves 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, todays 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. 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 Service 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 caused the problem in this country today. Ukip deliberately wants to be seen as the party that is ready to say the unsayable. 0ur 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, perhaps the party today is just trying to keep up. Laura, you mentioned the fall in net migration, how does that play into the Election Campaign . It provides the Election Campaign . It provides the backdrop. This has been one of the backdrop. This has been one of the biggest political concerns for the biggest political concerns for the public for quite some time. It was one of the dominant issues in the Eu Referendum last year and today we learned net migration, the difference between the number of people packing their bags and leaving for elsewhere and the number of people moving here is down, and down by more than 80,000 to 240 8000. Thats still a significant number of people, roughly the population of a city like hull, but it is significant because it is more than double the governments target of getting it under the 100,000. Second of all, this is mainly due to the number of people coming here from other countries in the eu, far fewer of them coming and many more leaving, and maybe that is just down to the Eu Referendum vote last year. 0ther to the Eu Referendum vote last year. Other people from other places around the continent have decided for whatever reason the uk looks like a less attractive destination to make their home. Whether that is something to cheer or whether you think that is something depressing because we are less attractive place to be on one of the biggest political concerns in the last couple of years, the numbers are starting to move. Laura, thank you very much. The Court Of Appeal has ruled that doctors can stop providing Life Support Treatment to the nine month old baby, charlie gard, who has a rare genetic illness. His parents raised more than £1 million because they wanted to take him to america for experimental treatment. But thejudges agreed with Great 0rmond Street Hospital in london that it was in charlies best interests to give him only palliative care. Conservative plans to give a free breakfast to every Primary School child in england could cost three times more than the party is estimating. Independent experts say setting aside only £60 million a year to pay for the manifesto pledge wont cover many of the costs. The conservatives said they would scrap free lunches in the first three years of schooling, replacing it with breakfast for all Primary School children. 50 years ago today, celtic became the first British Football Club to win the european cup. The team became known as the lisbon lions. As our Special Correspondent allan little reports, that victory in portugal still carries a symbolic importance that extends well beyond football. The home movie is 50 years old, it captures a moment in history, far, far weightier than a simple sporting victory. Id never been on a plane. No. I had to go and get a temporary passport. Jim mcgugan was at the match, he shot these pictures. Celtic was founded 130 years ago as the team of glasgows large Irish Catholic population. It still finds its most loyal support there. For decades, that community suffered systematic Workplace Discrimination in a scotland still shaped by its protestantism. It was like scotlands dirty little secret, that was never quite spoken about, but everybody knew that it was there. The 1967 European Cup Final coincided with a moment when scotland and this communitys place in it began to change. This is a narrative throughout a whole generation of young celtic supporters who grew up and said those men there are symbols, you know, and we look up to them and say we can be and not certainly as Football Players but we can emulate them in other ways and in other walks of life, and thats all what we all grew up wanting to do. Commentator inter milan kick off, and in a continental year heatwave. Celtic went to lisbon to take on the mighty inter milan, the team carried the hopes of of a community shaped by a shared adversity. 50 years on, this place, celtic park, remains a focus of collective memory and identity. I was born nine months and three days later. So, you know, read into that what you may. Youre a lisbon baby . I am absolutely a child of lisbon and i feel really proud about that because our family, our environment, our community was very much based around that platform. You know, so i look at footage of lisbon and i almost feel part of it, even though i know i wasnt there, but i look at it and feel, thats my story. At the final whistle the score was 2 1, celtic became the first british club to win the european cup. In the decades that lay ahead, scotlands Irish Catholics
