Will the Manchester Terror Attacks put you off going to any major events this weekend or argue determined to carry on as normal . Do get in touch on all the stories were talking about this morning. Use the hashtag victorialive. If you text, you will be charged at the Standard Network rate. The labour Leaderjeremy Corbyn will give a major speech today, as Election Campaigning resumes after the Terror Attack in manchester. Hes expected to link British Military action abroad to terrorism in the uk, and call for a change to Foreign Policy. Lets talk to our political guru norman smith about this. Tell us a bit more about whatJeremy Corbyn is going to say . Mr corbyn will set out what he thinks are some of the key drivers of terrorism. He will say that he is not seeking to excuse terrorists, they are the ones who are guilty and they are the ones who are guilty and they alone are guilty for the acts they alone are guilty for the acts they carry out. But he will suggest that some of the walls we have been involved in a broad in places like iraq, syria and libya have contributed to the threat we face, and he will say cuts to Police Numbers have also put us at risk because, he will argue, you cannot have security on the cheap. But, as you might expect, it a very, very controversial moment to be making these sorts of remarks, as my colleague iain watson now reports. The political truce following the Manchester Attack will be declared over today, whenJeremy Corbyn speaks about tackling terrorism. Hell draw political dividing lines by criticising Government Cuts in Police Numbers, and will say austerity must stop at the Police Station door. But linking involvement in foreign wars to terrorism is likely to be more controversial. Hell say. Many experts including professionals in our intelligence and it is their bosses have pointed to the connections between wars our government has supported all fought in other countries, and terrorism here at home. He will say this does not reduce the guilt of terrorists, but. We must be brave enough to admit the War On Terror is simply not working. The former lib dem leader lord ashdown has questioned the timing ofJeremy Corbyns comments. The Labour Leader expects criticism for his comments, but those close to him say its impossible to have an honest debate on tackling terrorism without mentioning the wars. Iain watson, bbc news. Mr corbyns aides say in his speech mr corbyns aides say in his speech mr corbyns aides say in his speech mr corbyn will pledge to be tough on terrorism and tough on the causes of terrorism, but already critics are pointing out that the Labour Leader has voted against pretty much every recent counterterrorism legislation brought before the commons and he opposes the deradicalisation prevent strategy, so perhaps unsurprisingly the conservative security minister ben wallace this morning was highly critical of mr corbyns decision to make this speech. I thinkJeremy Corbyns comments are totally inappropriate and crassly timed. Right now, we have Police Forces and Security Services scrabbling, working hard to keep us safe through the night. We have 66 people still in hospital in manchester. Now is not the time to decide to use this event to attack Foreign Policy decisions that may or may not have been made. Now is the time to focus on our british values, our intolerance of terrorism, and stand united saying violence and hate will not deliver the outcome they want, and we as a society will not be threatened or damaged by terrorism. The hope of mr corbyn is that voters, while not in any way minimising the horror of manchester, will think, yes, we do have to have this debate about what is causing this debate about what is causing this radicalisation, what is the reason for the Terror Threat we face. But it is an almighty risk for mr corbyn, the danger that he simply gets more damaging headlines. Thank you, norman, we will catch up with you later on in the programme. And tune in to bbc one at 7pm this evening, whenJeremy Corbyn will be the latest leader in the hot seat talking to andrew neil. Police are continuing their investigations into a possible network surrounding the manchester suicide bomber, who killed 22 and injured 116 people on monday.

The problem is, the reality is we are in a critical State Of Alert and police still need and want to find those people who may have helped the bomb procure the bomb, set up the bomb, delivered the bomb, and until that network of people is found, this critical State Of Alert, having these Hundreds Of Armed Policemen and women on the streets of manchester, soldiers in other cities as well, armed police on public transport, on trains for the first time, there is still a lot of tension here and until that network is found and neutralised we will remain in this position. We have also heard overnight that Greater Manchester police have restarted their cooperation with american authorities, exchanging some of this very Sensitive Information they hope might help them achieve a breakthrough in the case. That cooperation had stopped because of excessive lea Ks On Cooperation had stopped because of excessive leaks on the american side.

Theresa may is to urge the leaders of the worlds most developed nations to do more to tackle extremism online. Shes to make a speech at the g7 summit of leading industrial nations in sicily. Our Diplomatic Correspondent James Landale reports. Theresa may arrived in sicily last night for her first g7 summit, a rare chance for her and just six other leaders to discuss the Worlds Problems Face To face around a table. And, as they gather in the ancient coastal town of taormina, they will be hoping for few dramas. Above all from donald trump, who has made his doubts about multilateral groups like this well known. At this summit, as ever, theyll discuss world trade, Climate Change, migration from north africa across these very seas. But, after the events of recent days, almost inevitably the focus will be the fight against global terrorism. Theresa may will sit down formally with the us president , and discuss notjust those leaks from the Manchester Bombing investigation, but how she, he, and other g7 leaders can Work Together to fight extremism and terror plots online, with Internet Firms doing more, and a new international forum, sharing new technology. I suspect theresa may will say, look, lets all agree that we need a totallyjoined up security effort, of the sort we have within the united kingdom, amongst the g7 as a whole. But, if there is agreement among these Heads Of Government over terror, they may fall out over other issues international trade, Climate Change and global migration, areas where mr trumps smiles are not matched by his g7 colleagues. James landale, bbc news, sicily. Travellers through Gatwick Airport are suffering major problems with Baggage Disruption this morning. One passenger has said the situation is chaos. Gatwick airport has apologised for delays at check in. It says some flights are departing without bags, and that theyll be forwarded to passengers destinations. The us media is reporting president trumps son in law and senior white house adviser Jared Kushner is under scrutiny by the fbi. The inquiry is into russian interference in last years election. Reports say investigators believe mr kushner may have significant information relevant to their work, but this does not necessarily mean he is suspected of a crime. Scientists say new observations of the planetjupiter have taken their breath away. They have been studying detailed photographs sent Back To Earth by nasas spacecraft juno. Researchers say they have been amazed by the storms at the gas giants poles. Dozens of hurricanes, each the size of earth, can be seen clustered together. An sos signal made of rocks in a remote part of Western Australia has prompted fears that someone, or more than one person, could be missing. The Distress Signal was spotted by a helicopter pilot, leading to a ground search by police, who had to reach the area by air because of tough terrain. Authorities have now appealed for public help after failing to find any indication of recent human activity. Thats a summary of the latest bbc news more at 9. 30am. I want to bring you this which has just reached us, labour has suspended one of its Vice Chairman in surrey after he suggested the government itself could have been behind the Manchester Bombing. Daniel uihlein, the vice chair in water, said, iwould not daniel uihlein, the vice chair in water, said, i would not put it past our establishment and right wing government or theresa may to blow up their own people in order to continue to secure power for themselves. The labour party has confirmed to bbc surrey that he has since been suspended and today is the re newspaper says the conservative candidate dominic raab has described the comments as extremely offensive in countless ways as we pay our respects to the victims and try to show some solidarity. We will keep an eye on that and bring you any details as we are on airover bring you any details as we are on air over the next two hours. Do get in touch with us throughout the morning use the hashtag victorialive. If you text, you will be charged at the Standard Network rate. Lets get some sports now with hugh. Good to see you. Obviously manchester at the moment, people are coping with the events that happened on monday night but also people are trying to use sport as a way to get back to normality, if you like . Yes, it has of course been a devastating week for everyone in the country and at the epicentre of that is the city of manchester. In recent days we have seen, as you have explained, and outpouring of grief in the city but also a sense of togetherness, evidenced by tony walshs moving poem outside the town hall on tuesday, that music and sport are two of the things the city is famous for. Manchester united brought home the Europa League trophy earlier this week and doubt there will be International Sport in the heart of manchester with the great city games today, helping to see a united manchester carry on defiantly in the face of such a barbaric act. A solemn town in the mood. Former Olympic Long Jump champion Greg Rutherford will be there and says it is important to the sport and people show they will not let terrorists win. Also appearing in the ninth year the event has been stage is the Paralympic Champion Jonnie Peacock who shared a similar view to rutherford that the games can send a message of resilience to the world. These events are the ones that we need, we need to show that it doesnt stop us, i think that is what we showed great in this country, what we do a greatjob of it is we will wake up the next day, get on with our lives, stand up, dont do ourjobs, turned up to events and show our support together, and i think it is the absolute opposite response to what eve ryo ne absolute opposite response to what Everyone Wants but it is amazing to see, andi Everyone Wants but it is amazing to see, and i love it. The bbc will have full coverage of the event starting at 6pm tonight on bbc two. Just to say as Robbie Great Manchester Run will go ahead this weekend, europes largest iok run, a Half Marathon as well this time around. The organisers do, though, say there will be additional Security Measures in place. You can watch that on bbc one from lunchtime on sunday. We will be speaking to someone taking part in the Great Manchester Run in the next few minutes as well. Lets talk about wayne rooney, slightly uncertain time for him, left out of the england squad . Yes, the Manchester United captain, officially the captain of england but missing out on his second consecutive squad for his country and now he has nothing but a clear some ahead of him. He says he will go away with his family and decide what is next. The 31 year old has only started 15 league games for Manchester United this season and the england boss Gareth Southgate says that other players are playing exceptionally well so wayne rooney is left out on form. The man himself is left out on form. The man himself is now left pondering his future, and returned to his boyhood club everton is a possibility, or perhaps a big money move to china. He will be demanding £600,000 a week for a move there. Rooney has said there are move there. Rooney has said there a re lots of move there. Rooney has said there are lots of offers on the table in england and abroad. He is record goal scorer for england and abroad. He is record goal scorerfor his england and abroad. He is record goal scorer for his club and country but we understand united are after three orfour but we understand united are after three or four stellar signings this summer, that means rooney could well be on his way out of the pub. Indications are that his future will be dealt with sooner rather than later. We will catch up with you a bit later on. With the Bank Holiday Weekend comes a serious of major sporting and entertainment events. Manchester plays host to the Manchester City games and the Great Manchester Run, the largest 10k run in europe. On the music front the band the courteeners, who are from manchester, are also playing at old traffords emirates Cricket Ground in the city. In london, its fa cup final day at wembley on saturday. After some speculation that the events in manchester would be cancelled, the deployment of troops at key sites in london has freed up armed officers to support other forces, thats according to the Chief Constable of Greater Manchester police, ian hopkins. So what extra work has gone into preparing for the events in light of the attack at Manchester Arena on monday . We can chat now to Lee Dodderidge is a director at Covenant Security and risk management, hes also a former member of the Uks National Counter Terrorism security office. Anthony mundy, Operations Director at emirates old trafford Cricket Ground where the Courteeners Gig is happening on saturday. Leigh webber, whos running the 10k In Manchester On Sunday despite having had half a lung removed. Thank you all forjoining us. I want to start, leigh, in light of what happened on monday, give us a sense of what is going on Behind The Scenes to improve security. There area number of scenes to improve security. There are a number of things they will be considering at the moment. They will have reviewed all the plans. These events a re have reviewed all the plans. These events are regular events. There is a tried and tested Security Operation in place which is critical. They will be adding additional measures to that. But there are differences between the venues. There are differences between the venues. If you look at the difference between a Stadium Event where there will be tickets, compared to the manchester run where there will be large areas of the route and the start and finish lines which are open to members of the public. There is a big security challenge. People should expect delays, but they will still be able to enjoy the event. There are a lot of challenges ahead for security, additional searches and other restrictions. Leigh, i cannot believe i said in that introduction that you had half a long removed in march. It is incredible you are contemplating running this event. How are you feeling after what has happened in the city . We can see you in front of all those floral tributes. I am just feeling in front of all those floral tributes. I amjust feeling now after what has happened, this terrible tragedy, it has made me and everyone else more determined to run and try to do manchester pride. Like tony walsh said in the powerful poem in manchester when things get tough we stand tall together and fight strong in the manchester spirit way. Obviously everybody is quite apprehensive, but it will also be quite emotional and we are going to try and do our best to make manchester proud. Did you have Difficult Conversations with your family about wanting to take part . Presumably they are concerned . Yes, they are quite concerned, but i think they also respect and understand our reasons why we feel even more determined to try and prove to manchester that we can carry on the best we can. Anthony is standing next to you, in charge of security there at the emirates old trafford Cricket Ground where the concert is on saturday. What extra security have you implemented there in light of what has happened in the city . We have been planning for this event for over six months and we already have robust Security Plans in place. We do this on a regular basis. We have a few answers every year, we have international cricket, so we are year, we have international cricket, so we are used to put it on large scale so we are used to put it on la rge scale events. As so we are used to put it on large scale events. As part of our Planning Process we have Multi Agency Meetings with the police, local authority, transport, licensing. There were robust plans already in place. Since the tragic events of monday we have had numerous meetings with the police. We have had a lot of understanding from the police in terms of what additional security they advised us to put in place. We have done that and we will increase our checks. We advise people to come early because there will be searching. We advise people not to come with bags because that will slow down things. If you come with a bag, make sure it is a small one. The key thing is the support we have had from the pleas and the Additional Resources they will put in place around reinsurance is going to be massive. Whereas we would normally have a lot of security in and around the venue, we are increasing that and the police will be having Security Measures for the last mile and when people get on the last mile and when people get on the train or the tram or their car, there will be a visible presence of there will be a visible presence of the police to give people reinsurance. There is no increased Security Risk at our event, but it is about people getting on with their lives and getting manchester back on track. It is interesting you talk about that. That was the vulnerable area in the Manchester Attack. That area where you come out of security into the public area. I guess that is always the challenge, that you need to provide that security. There will always be a break in security somewhere, so how do you overcome that . It is striking the balance. All security has got to be proportionate to what the risk is. Sometimes we have had failings in the past and the security is there not to protect the buildings, but the people. They are one of the major assets you want to look after. But the start is probably easier to secure because people come in over a longer period of time in smaller numbers. It is at the end of the event when people come out en masse, which unfortunately was the incident in manchester on monday evening. Once people come out of the key thing to do once they are in the Public Domain is to disperse the crowd as quickly as possible. But you have to do it in a way that maintains the atmosphere of the event. The smaller groups provide less of a target, that is horrible to say, but that is reality, and we have to move them away as quickly as possible. Anthony, is that the sense of what you have been hearing as well in your planning . That has been one of the main focus areas, but there are other mitigation plans we have put in place with the police. It is about the whole Customer Journey from when people arrive in manchester through to coming to the concert and getting home again. We are focusing on every area. The plans were robust before and they are now massively enhanced. We want people to have a fantastic time. The courteeners have said they want to give manchester a concept that they deserve. It is about Holiday Weekend and we do not want people to change their plans. But get here early, do not bring a bag, be supportive of each other, be patient. We have got four northwest, Greater Manchester bands coming to hear on saturday, it could not get any better. Leigh, i know you said it was important to send out this message that nothing was changing, we are carrying on. Have you thought about how you are getting there . Have you reassess your journey there . Has getting there . Have you reassess yourjourney there . Has anything changed in your mind . yourjourney there . Has anything changed in your mind . I suppose i am an optimistic, positive person and i am hoping that when we get on the tram, we will be anxious, but i will just be hopeful really that everything will be ok. People often say in the aftermath of a tragedy that arguably that could be the safest ti me that arguably that could be the safest time to be doing any of these things. In some bizarre way do you feel this could be the safest time to ta ke feel this could be the safest time to take part in this run because security is at the forefront of everybodys mind right now . Security is at the forefront of everybodys mind right now . |j everybodys mind right now . definitely feel like that. I came to the vigil on tuesday evening and felt exactly like that. Now the safety is so out there that it is probably the best it could be really. Is that a logical thing to think or is that the public trying to make themselves feel safer . M think or is that the public trying to make themselves feel safer . It is perfectly logical. I can remember similar conversations last year when we had the euro championships and the safest place would have been inside one of the stadiums. Because of additional security people will feel safer. It is interesting listening to the other guests that we need to maintain our way of life and go out and enjoy our events. People have to bear in mind there will be additional security and they have to be more aware. We cannot be defeated, but from a Security Perspective we have to realistically look at the threats and keep in mind it is Still Critical and there is still a network of potentially people out there wanting to cause harm to us. What would you say each of you to anybody watching this who is saying, i know what you are saying, i understand what you are saying, i understand what you are saying, but i am scared to go out, i am scared to put my family and myself at risk . Leigh, what would you say to them . I suppose different people have got different ways of thinking, which is fair enough and we respect everybody and how they feel. But we would encourage them the best we can for the sake of manchester and all the people to not let this beat us and carry on with as many events as we can and know that manchester and the security is doing everything they can to keep us as safe as possible. Anthony, what would you say to somebody watching and thinking that . I would echo that. For me they have won if we change the way we carry on with what we are doing this weekend and every weekend in the future. We have got to be sympathetic and acknowledge what has gone on, but we do have to move forward. Otherwise they have beaten us. We are an Entertainment Venue and manchester is a fantastic city and we want to put manchester back on the map for the right reasons. I want to ask you, what from a Security Perspective is the greatest challenge to please and security . Later on we will be hearing from alan shearer talking about the fa cup final, is that the biggest challenge in an enclosed environment, or is it the likes of the Great Manchester Run where you have so many people out on the street over a huge area . You are right, the run will be the biggest security challenge. With the two event, at the Emirates Stadium or with the fa cup, these are well rehearsed events. Yes, there will be increased security, but it is com pletely increased security, but it is completely different to the security required at what is an open air event open to the members of the public. There is a longer route to consider as well. That will be the biggest challenge. People will have to bear in mind that whilst we have just had the recent Manchester Attack, we saw how easily it was to have an attack at westminster with a vehicle, so there are a number of different threats and that will be the challenge. It is achievable, but people will need to allow extra time to get into the area and there will be travel disruption. That will be the biggest security challenge, making sure everybody there is safe and secure and anybody coming to cause any harm is identifiable and dealt with. Before you go, leigh, you have lost half along. You are training, you will be running ten kilometres. How has your preparation gone . As i had the operation three days after coming out of hospital i have been running every day to make me feel like i was training. Three weeks ago i started gentlyjogging again andl weeks ago i started gentlyjogging again and i have done about 37 kilometre runs. I had to stop a few times, but i have done seven kilometres in an hour, so i am pleased with that. I am sure with all the adrenaline i will get to ten kilometres with all that 20 of us from the academy and my best friend jane coming from dorset. With all the support i am sure i will be fine to get to the finishing line. Best of luck, it is an incredible story. I hope you enjoy it. That you all for speaking to us. A couple of comments coming in to us here on Jeremy Corbyns comments. David says, Jeremy Corbyn is getting closer to the mark, but it is not just ourforeign closer to the mark, but it is not just our Foreign Policy. Closer to the mark, but it is not just ourForeign Policy. We closer to the mark, but it is not just our Foreign Policy. We looked at only what we can take from others and spent too little time considering what we can give. Supporting nations to develop by sensible use of foreign aid might have a far greater effect on promoting peace and stability in many of these countries. Stewart says, whatJeremy Corbyn is saying is right, you can support the soldiers but condemned the government for putting them in that situation. Jeremy says has Jeremy Corbyn not voted against anti terror laws in his time . Another one, people, please buy Ariana Grandes record as a tribute. Still to come. Long queues and disruption at Gatwick Airport this morning, as a problem with the Bagging System means some travellers are having to leave without their suitcases.

Passengers at Gatwick Airport have been facing long queues and disruption morning, after a problem with baggage check in system. One traveller described the scene as chaos, with some planes leaving without luggage. With me is our correspondent andy moore. You would not be very happy if you we re you would not be very happy if you were going on holiday before the bank holiday and half time without a suitcase, what is going on . A busy day for the airport, when you turn up and checked in, you check in your suitcase and it goes off on the automated Baggage System to the aircraft, that has broken down so they have to revert to a manual system. That is causing a lot of problems and delays, a lot of cues, and it means planes are taking off on time but some people are being told their suitcases are not on that plane, so a lot of people angry about that. The priority for the airline is to get the plane off on time and the baggage follows afterwards . Yes, the airline is saying that when the system is fixed to the baggage will be put on the next available plane and you will be reunited with its doing. They said they are trying to resolve it as soon as possible but it has not been fixed yet. It is affecting a lot of airlines, easyj et, affecting a lot of airlines, easyjet, one of the biggest, have issued a statement to their customers saying a number of flights are departing without all of the luggage in the hold, easyjet takes well being of passengers very seriously and they are working closely with apple to return luggage to passengers as soon as possible. It is worth emphasising this is people leaving the airport, North And South terminals, it does not seem to be affecting incoming passengers so if you are arriving at gatwick you should be able to bind your luggage ok. Any idea how long it will last . The allied has been saying all morning they are working to resolve it as quickly as possible but at the moment it is still not fixed. Thank you for telling us about that. Coming up. Former england captain and newcastle striker alan shearer talks to us about security at Football Matches and the upcoming fa cup final. Before mondays Terror Attack, the Election Campaign was in full swing. But the tragic events stopped it immediately in its track. Politicians put their differences aside as a mark of respect and this morning all of the main parties will begin campaigning again, but how will be Terror Attack have changed things . Lets talk now to joe twyman from yougov. He says a Terrorist Attack amidst an election is a political tightrope that is hard for anyone to walk. Charlie cooper is Political Correspondent for politico magazine. And Polly Mackenzie was a special advisor to former deputy Prime Minister nick clegg. Thank you all for coming in to speak to us. Charlie, i want to ask first of all, how much do you think the tone of this campaign is going to change in light of the awful events in manchester . I think when we look back at this election, we will see that the terrible events in manchester on monday will completely overs ha d Ow Manchester On Monday will completely overshadow it. We spoke to a labour mp in manchester visit, you want to be upbeat on the doorstep and present a positive vision. He said it is impossible to bring that to the campaign in the shadow of this event so it will completely change the mood, i am sure. Polly, you were a Special Adviser to nick clegg. How do politicians play this . As charlie said, you dont want to be too upbeat, you dont want to go for the jugular as you might have done against political opponents, is this about having more unity . As charlie said, the tone will be more subdued, politicians, especially front bench politicians, especially front bench politicians, wont want to be seen to make political hay out of a terrible murder, murderous attack, but nevertheless we do see Jeremy Corbyn today coming out with a Speech Talking about who is to blame and the complex causality of international terrorism, trying to sort of capitalise on it in a way thatis sort of capitalise on it in a way that is notjust blaming the other party, and actually you see at the grassroots and probably in the social media the invisible Campaign Thatis Social Media the invisible campaign that is going on, lots more much more aggressive campaigning, where people are playing the blame game. Joe, lets talk about the ueberroth poll you golf poll. Joe, lets talk about the ueberroth poll you golf poll. In Public Opinion terms we have entered a third stage of the election, the first was dominated by theresa may and the conservatives, after that and the conservatives, after that and after the issue around social care, we and after the issue around social ca re , we saw and after the issue around social care, We Saw Jeremy and after the issue around social care, We Saneremy Corbyn and labour close the gap on the conservatives, and now most recently we are entering this new stage with the conservatives now five points ahead, and that is down on where they were last time but this is the first poll that has been conducted since the attack. Is it also the first one since the social care u turn so i guess you could have gone lower in peoples ideas, theresa may, and then come back . When you look at the underlying data, not just voting when you look at the underlying data, notjust Voting Intention but things like Leadership Ratings, you see that the gap continued to close between labour and the conservatives, between Jeremy Corbyn and theresa may, but then it opened back up again, so it suggests that at the moment there is a slight bit of momentum in favour of theresa may. The question we have is how long will this last . It is impossible to know. The next few days will be crucial with the kinds of announcements we are talking about, and the poll that we have coming out on sunday will offer an indication of whether this momentum is being maintained, whether this third stage will favour the conservatives or whether we are entering a new moment. Charlie, these comments byJeremy Corbyn today, he will make a speech later on saying there is a direct correlation between Foreign Policy in the uk and what happens on our streets. Do you think that is a wise move by him . The conservatives have said it is inappropriate right now. I think it will resonate with some people, but i think a better strategy would have been to get back to what they were talking about before this horrible attack because, as we have seen in the polls, their ma nifesto as we have seen in the polls, their Manifesto Commitment on scrapping tuition fees, the £10 minimum wage, on more money for the nhs, that was cutting through and it was popular, whereas the conservative Manifesto Debacle around social care really hit theresa may, and i think it would have been better to get back to the strong territory they were on prior to this awful attack on monday. After the attack, i wonderfrom each of on monday. After the attack, i wonder from each of you whether you think there will be more now on leadership, because often in a time of tragedy in this country people are looking for a strong leader and we know that theresa may is going for the strong and stable method, does it play into her hands . I think it has do, you dont have to look ha rd it has do, you dont have to look hard on the Leadership Ratings to see theresa may outperforms on those. Some of labours spending and Public Service messages were working for them. If this is an election where, on election day at the ballot box, people are thinking about leadership, they will choose theresa may. The Labour Numbers are fascinating but probably quite soft. There is a lot of Historical Data that shows when it comes to specific policies, that is not what people vote, instead it is the broad narratives that we tell ourselves and each other about leadership, trust, unity, all these and each other about leadership, trust, unity, allthese things, and this has been the focus of the conservative campaign throughout the campaign period. Labour, on the other hand, tried to build buzz on specific policies. It worked well when theresa may and her abilities we re when theresa may and her abilities were called into question around the issue of social care, but it wasnt theissue issue of social care, but it wasnt the issue of social care that was causing the change but the questioning of her strength and stability. I think it is inevitable that in a time of heightened anxiety voters are more likely to go with what they know, which will be beneficial for any incumbent, particularly one that markets themselves as strong and stable, strong and stable, so it may be an advantage for theresa may, i dont think she is planning to exploit in any specific way but it will be the way people feel after such a horrible event as monday. We have got a couple of weeks before election day. I have travelled up and down the country in the last few weeks speaking to voters, sitting down and having conversations with voters, and everywhere i go, whether scotland, Northern Ireland, north of england, south of england, people are saying, this is about brexit. That was prior to mondays attack. Do you think everyone now will shift toward security . If you look atjo coxs murder ahead of the brexit event, many people thought it would bea event, many people thought it would be a Tribute Tojo Cox to vote remain but that did not happen. think what happened afterjo cox in terms of the Election Campaign was that itjust terms of the Election Campaign was that it just went down a notch terms of the Election Campaign was that itjust went down a notch in terms of volume but the messages we re terms of volume but the messages were still out there on the doorstep and it didnt change anything. Over the course of the next two weeks, it is amazing, people think it is the Brexit Campaign but the National Politicians have not been talking about brexit particularly, it has been much more about social care and Public Services. I think the conservatives will, as we head towards polling day, try to pull it back to security, brexit at those things where they do really well. What is ironic is that it is much easier to defend security if we are pa rt of easier to defend security if we are part of europe, europol and the european arrest warrant, but they will try not to mention that. spoke to people in manchester about this topic, how it will affect how they vote, but a lot of people did not make that connection, they thought it is above politics and god immediately on to questions like leadership and policies so i think there will be an extent to which people put the tragedy of monday in a different category in their mind to the election. When you ask people what they vote on, there is a multitude of answers people give and brexit is the most important issue facing the country, according to our polls, but the questions people ask themselves, even when they are in themselves, even when they are in the Polling Booths, who do i trust, who do i think will do the right thing for this country, who do i think right thing for this country, who do ithink can right thing for this country, who do i think can do the right thing for people like me . Those are the kinds of questions each of the parties will attempt to provide answers for between now and election day. How many people make that decision in the Polling Booths . many people make that decision in the Polling Booths . I have spoken to so many people who have said, i probably wont decide until i get there. It is different this time around because last time the country had five years, the voters and country had five years to prepare, this time we have had five weeks. There is a lot more movement in the polls this time as people go from, actually, this is happening, this is real, im starting to think about this and engage with this, and what we have seen it a reduction in the numbers of people saying they dont know who they will vote for, particularly among former voters from labour in 2015, and that could be crucial because it is notjust about Voting Intention but whether People Choose to turn out to vote or not. Another thing i want to mention is police cuts, Jeremy Corbyn will pick up on that today saying the likes of mondays attack may not have happened if there had been more money given to police, amber rudd saying last night on question time, the home secretary, these are two very different things. It is unfortunate that one of the things that has cut through in this election is diane abbott making a mess of her announcement of more police. People are sceptical of this narrative that crime is falling even though Police Numbers are falling but nonetheless it doesnt quite get up but nonetheless it doesnt quite get up to the level of votes winding decision, i dont think. up to the level of votes winding decision, i dont think. I agree, it is not just decision, i dont think. I agree, it is notjustJeremy Corbyn saying police cuts are concerned, the police federation. They would say that. They would, they warned two yea rs that. They would, they warned two years ago, even cuts in Community Policing could affect Intelligence Gathering so labour have something just a point there but i dont think it will cut through this late in the campaign. It is an extraordinarily difficult time for people, whether conservative or labour, they have to think carefully how they address this in the next few days. Thank you all very much, we are out of time but i appreciate you speaking to us. The attack on monday has Cast A Long Shadow over sport this week. In an emotional night in stockholm, Manchester United won the Europa League and this weekend Troops Willjoin police in a tightly controlled operation for the fa cup final at wembley. 90,000 fans will head to the stadium in north london to watch Arsene Wengers Arsenal Take On Antonio Contes premier League Winning chelsea. We can chat about that more now with former england captain and newcastle striker alan shearer. Allen, thank you for coming in. Before we can talk about the football, we need to talk about what has happened in manchester this week. Many people will be heading to the fa cup final at wembley and security will be a worry for them. Absolutely, not only will it be on their minds tomorrow, but it will be on our minds for the rest of our lives because of what has gone on in manchester this week and my heart goes out to everyone who has been affected by it. Trying to get back to some normality with a Football Match is going to be very difficult. After a ll match is going to be very difficult. After all football is irrelevant, but we have got to try and somehow concentrate on the match which i think will be very difficult for a lot of people. When we look at football it has not been immune, sadly. If you look back to 2015 and the Suicide Attacks in france. Do you think more needs to be done to secure Football Stadiums . It is so difficult when you have got Tens Of Thousands of people in one area. Difficult when you have got Tens Of Thousands of people in one aream is difficult to step up the security. People have to be vigilant and look out, but when there are thousands of supporting people at a Sporting Event on their way in and on their way out, not necessarily in the stadium, it is difficult to police. Do you think clubs need to ta ke police. Do you think clubs need to take more responsibility . You can have security in the stadium, but as the public get outside, is it the publics responsibility to do more or the clubs responsibility . Publics responsibility to do more or the clubs responsibility7m publics responsibility to do more or the clubs responsibility . It is up or the clubs responsibility . It is up to everyone to be vigilant. I think it is difficult and i have got sympathy because there are so many thousands of people there walking in and out. It is difficult for the police to look after that. Lets talk about the football. Arsenal need this. Fifth in the Premier League, no Champions League football for the first time in 20 years. Yes, they need a trophy. I am still not certain that will appease a lot of the arsenalfans. Certain that will appease a lot of the arsenal fans. Even certain that will appease a lot of the arsenalfans. Even if certain that will appease a lot of the arsenal fans. Even if they win that game tomorrow, they will be saying things about Arsene Wengers feature. But some of the players have hidden behind that as an excuse this season and it has affected the tea m this season and it has affected the team and the decision whether he is staying or going because at times their performance on the pitch has not been good enough this season. Chelsea will go into the game full of confidence after winning the league, so it should be a good game. Problems for arsenal defensively, all manner of problems going on. Not only defensively, they have got injury concerns. Alexis sanchez came on we think maybe with a Hamstring Injury seven days or so ago. Yes, they have got one or two problems going into the game. But they should not use that as an excuse. They have got to go and put a performance in to win the trophy for the manager. How hard would it be . Chelsea are flying high, they have got no injuries and Antonio Conte has done what so many people thought he could never do. He has had a magnificent season. He has connected that Dressing Room again because it was all over the place when he took the job. All the decisions he has made this evening, leaving players in and out, the talk of diego costa going to china, i think he has handled it perfectly all season. No injury concerns, they go into the game full of confidence and they will be on a high. Your money is on chelsea . Yes, ifi high. Your money is on chelsea . Yes, if i were supporting the team, but, i want if i were supporting the team, but, iwanta if i were supporting the team, but, i want a great game and lows of goals, but i think chelsea will win. You have said the question hanging over Arsene Wenger has been a real problem this season. He has said he did not know whether he would be the manager, sunday. No one can ever deny his love or his passion for that Football Club and how successful he has been, but there is no doubt about it that the lack of decision making, whether he is staying or going, has affected the Clu B Staying or going, has affected the club and performances on the pitch. That has been a real concern. I cannot understand, and a lot of people cannot understand, what is going on Behind The Scenes, whether he is staying or going. But his players owe him a performance tomorrow and they need to go out and win the fa cup. Should he have walked earlier in the season . Should he have said because of the sake of the club, it is a distraction, i am going . I do not think he should have walked at all. I would never say and manager of his stature and a manager who has been so successful at that Football Clu B who has been so successful at that Football Club should have been sacked or he should walk. He will make the decision for what he feels is right. There is a huge divide within the camp and the fans at arsenal, what they want him to do. It is very difficult seeing a man of his ability and his stature being criticised as much as he has done because of what he has done for the Football Club. Lets talk about some of the big names. Concerns for next season when you are seeing the likes of Alexis Sanchez and mesut ozil might not be there. That is a greater worry for the arsenal fans. At the minute all they should focus on is putting in a performance for the manager at the fa cup final. Then they sort out their issues after the game. You have mentioned Alexis Sanchez and mesut ozil, they are two of the players, maybe more so mesut ozil because he has scored goals and been one of the best players, but he needs to go out and perform in one of the big games against one of the big clubs. What is it like playing in an fa cup final . It is brilliant but only if you win it. I did not want to mention that. I am not so sure i was lucky, but i played at wembley in two fa cup finals and came out on the wrong side. Wembley is only a place for winners. You are a professional. It should not make any difference whether you are playing against hull on a cold monday night or in an fa cup final, but you must feel it . You feel the excitement, there is a huge buzz around the stadium and it has been going on all week now. As a player you want to get out and onto the pitch and start the 90 minutes and hopefully come out on the right side. Do you read the papers or watch interviews in the papers or watch interviews in the run up, or does it distract you asa the run up, or does it distract you as a player . I did not mind reading newspapers or watching tv and the build up, i enjoyed it. Newspapers or watching tv and the buildup, i enjoyed it. But there is pressure . Pressure should not affect you, you are used to playing in big games. A lot of these players play for the National Side and have been successful before and they have won League Titles and fa cups. That should not affect them at all. Chelsea, looking ahead, you would expect them to win tomorrow, a great first season for Antonio Conte. Do they need to bring players in or do they need to bring players in or do they stick with what they have got . I think they will improve. I think they will go out and make signings. You have to do that as a Football Club, particularly when you have been successful, and chelsea will go out and spend a fortune, very much like the other big clubs will. I think they will sign two or three big hitters to improve their team. So, tomorrow, what does a day in tailfor so, tomorrow, what does a day in tail for footballers as they head out . Do they keep the same routine . Iam out . Do they keep the same routine . I am interested to know how you prepare. You get up and make the day as normal as possible, but it is that little bit more special. You will have your pre match and your brea kfast will have your pre match and your breakfast and you might go for a walk. The manager will go through the team talk and the set pieces again to remind you as a player. But once you walk out of the tunnel and cross the white line, it is up to the players, they have to perform. What do arsenal need to do . Is it an early goal against chelsea . Sometimes these fa cup finals are hyped. You have got two fantastic side and it can be a bit of a damp squib. I do not think it is in the nature of these teams to sit back. Both will try and get an early feel of the ball and keep possession. It is vital for of the ball and keep possession. It is vitalfor arsenal of the ball and keep possession. It is vital for arsenal that they do not concede early. There will be some negativity around, so they will try and feel their way into the game. They will get a good pass to set up their confidence. All in all because of the players on show, i think it should be very good spectacle i and hoping so anyway. Extra needle because of the size . You desperately want to win the game. These teams have begun the competition in january and they game. These teams have begun the Competition Injanuary and they both have been working hard for this and you do not want to let your fans down. Lets get the latest weather. Iam down. Lets get the latest weather. I am scared to say this. It is a Bank Holiday Weekend, is the rain coming . It is, but it is a bit more complicated. It will change. There are thunderstorms on the way, but there is dry weather to be had as well. I will give you all the details in the next couple of minutes. There is a fair bit going on, but not much has changed just yet. For the time being we have got plenty of dry weather and sunshine across england, wales, sunny skies in Northern Ireland and up across scotla nd in Northern Ireland and up across scotland there is sunshine to be had. Yesterday in aberdeen we got up to 28 degrees. Parts of Northern Scotla nd to 28 degrees. Parts of Northern Scotland today could have the hottest weather, potentially as high as 30 degrees. Sunny skies for all of us. A bit breezy and cooler close to the coasts. Whether you have a breeze or not, the sun is strong with particularly high uv levels at the moment. Along the south coast temperatures might be pegged back. Inland it is 28 or 29. Later on in the day this is the first sign of change. Scotland stays largely dry again. 30 degrees is possible potentially for caithness and sutherland. Many of us will have a fine evening and dry night. But out west these are gathering and beginning to bear down on us and they get into Northern Ireland by they get into Northern Ireland by the end of the night. That is the storyboard tomorrow, areas of heavy, thundery downpours courtesy of this low pressure. This will be moving northwards and eastwards across england and wales. Behind them things will dry up again with some sunshine. There could be more persistent rain in Northern Ireland and scotland. Things will turn a bit pressure from the west. But in the south east it will be 27 in london. Northern scotland in the high 20s again. On sunday there is plenty of dry and fine weather. It will be a bit pressure, but some thunderstorms working their way up from the south and there could be heavy Thundery Rain On Sunday Night and into monday. Then we will see some sunny spells returning and by this stage it is fresh air, but potentially humid in the south east. To sum things up, it is a bit more mixed on this bank holiday than we have had over the past couple of days. There will be some sunshine, but thundery downpours as well and over the weekend it will turn a bit fresher. Hello, its friday, its 10am, im chloe tilly. Our top story today. The War On Terror is not working, says Jeremy Corbyn. The Labour Leader says hes promising change if labour win the election. But the conservatives have criticised his comments. I thinkJeremy Corbyns comments are totally inappropriate and crassly timed. Police say eight men arrested in connection with mondays attack in manchester are all suspected of Terror Offences and aged between 18 and 38. We will have the latest. Plus, theresa may is expected to urge g 7 leaders to do more to tackle online extremism. Also in the programme, well have the extraordinary story of a how a man who was abandoned as a baby tracked down his siblings with nothing more than a sample of his dna. Good morning. Heres annita in the bbc newsroom with a summary of todays news. Labour Leaderjeremy Corbyn is expected to give a speech shortly in which he links terrorism in the uk to military action abroad. He makes the comment as Campaigning Resumes after the attack in manchester. Our assistant Political Editor norman smith will be at the speech for us with all of the details. Greater Manchester Police have in the last two minutes at eight men arrested in connection with the manchester bomb attacks are all suspected of Terror Offences and are aged between 18 and 38. Overnight there was another arrest and more police searches, including at an address in the st helens area of merseyside, as Police Continue investigations into a possible wider network. A 16 year old boy has been released without charge. Armed police have begun patrolling National Rail Services Following mondays Terror Attack. It is the first time Firearms Officers have been deployed on British Railways although there have been controlled on London Underground since december. The Terror Threat remains at critical meaning Security Services believe another attack could be imminent. Theresa may is to urge the leaders of the worlds most developed nations to do more to tackle extremism online. Shes to make a speech at the g7 summit of leading industrial nations in sicily. Our Diplomatic Correspondent James Landale reports. Theresa may is to purge the leaders of the worlds leading nations to do more to tackle extremism online. Herfirst g 7 summit is a rare chance for her and six other leaders to discuss the Worlds Problems Face To face around the table. And, as they gather in the ancient coastal town of taormina, they will be hoping for few dramas. Above all from donald trump, who has made his doubts about multilateral groups like this well known. At this summit, as ever, theyll discuss world trade, Climate Change, migration from north africa across these very seas. But, after the events of recent days, almost inevitably the focus will be the fight against global terrorism. Theresa may will sit down formally with the us president , and discuss notjust those leaks from the Manchester Bombing investigation but how she, he, and other g7 leaders can Work Together to fight extremism and terror plots online, with Internet Firms doing more, and a new international forum, sharing new technology. I suspect theresa may will say, look, lets all agree that we need a totallyjoined up security effort, of the sort we have within the united kingdom, amongst the g7 as a whole. But, if there is agreement among these Heads Of Government over terror, they may fall out over other issues international trade, Climate Change and global migration, areas where mr trumps smiles are not matched by his g7 colleagues. James landale, bbc news, sicily. Travellers through Gatwick Airport are suffering major problems with Baggage Disruption this morning. One passenger has said the situation is chaos. Gatwick airport has apologised for delays at check in. It says some flights are departing without bags, and that theyll be forwarded to passenger destinations.

Researchers say they have been amazed by the storms at the gas giants poles. Dozens of hurricanes, each the size of earth, can be seen clustered together. An sos signal made of rocks in a remote part of Western Australia has prompted fears that someone, or more than one person, could be missing.

Authorities have now appealed for public help after failing to find any indication of recent human activity. Thats a summary of the latest bbc news more at 10. 30am. Inafew in a few minutes we will be speaking toa man in a few minutes we will be speaking to a man who was reunited with his half siblings simply through a dna sample, it is an incredible story. We will speak to the Dna Detective who was involved in that, so do staging. Do get in touch with us throughout the morning use the hashtag victorialive. If you text, you will be charged at the Standard Network rate. Lets get the sport now, with hugh. Manchester will use sport as a way of showing its strength after the terrible attack in the city earlier this week. At the weekend the Great Manchester Run will go ahead as planned. As will todays great city games it sees International Stars such as great britains Paralympic Champion Jonnie Peacock take part in events right in the heart of the city. Despite the heightened security, peacock believes its right to go ahead. These events are the ones that we need, we need to show that it doesnt stop us, i think thats what we show great in this country, what we do a greatjob of is we will wake up the next day, get on with our lives, stand up, go to ourjobs, turned up to events and show our support together, and i think it is the absolute opposite response to what Everyone Wants but it is amazing to see, and i love it. The first significant Sporting Event since mondays attack took place in manchester last night. There was increased security at the academy stadium, as Manchester City hosted chelsea in the womens superleague spring series. A toni duggan goal gave city a 1 0 win, a result which moves them into second place in the table, just a point behind leaders liverpool. Wayne rooney says he is more or less decided about as Manchester United future but wont say what that is for another two weeks. As for his international career, it looks to be coming toa international career, it looks to be coming to a close. The england Record Scorer has been left out once again by the head coach, Gareth Southgate. He named his squad to face scotland in france next month. Rooney has been a Bit Part Player in his club side this season. His former club everton or the Chinese Super league are possible destinations if he leaves old trafford. The former england captain alan shearer spoke to our Programme Today and says hes not sure victory for arsenal in tomorrows fa cup final against chelsea would appease the clubs fans. The club finished fifth in the Premier League season, missing out on the Champions League for the first time in 20 years and Arsene Wenger, their manager, has still not clarified his future. Arsenal midfielder Alex Oxlade Chamberlain disagrees. We have given ourselves to win a trophy and when you are in football winning trophies is what it is about. It would be a bonus of the season to finish on a more positive note. We wanted to finish higher up the league, there is no doubting that, we cannot hide from that, we need look to that, but it is a big trophy and one that we want to win and definitely it would boost morale going into next season. That match will be on bbc one tomorrow afternoon. That is all the sport for now, back to you. We will speak to you again in a while. If you are heading to Gatwick Airport you will be pleased to hear that a spokesman for the airport has said the problem with the automated Baggage System has been fixed and they are working to remedy the disruption caused by the backlog of luggage. He said airlines will be forwarding passengers luggage to their destination as soon as possible, so good news if you are heading to Gatwick Airport that the automated Baggage System has been fixed. Lets get more on those comments made by the labour Leaderjeremy Corbyn this morning that uk Foreign Policy is not working. Norman smith, tell us more about what he will say. This is a gamble byJeremy Corbyn because talking about terrorism and its causes in the wake of an atrocity like manchester, a lot of people will be uncomfortable about that, there will be people who think it is inappropriate, irresponsible. Mr corbyns view is that we have to have this discussion and talk about why these Terrorist Attacks keep happening. And he kind of pinpoint two factors. At home, he suggests pa rt two factors. At home, he suggests part of the problem is there have been significant cuts to Police Numbers, we lost Something Like 20,000 Police Officers over the last five years or so because of austerity, and he says you cannot protect people, his phrase, on the cheap. So part of it, he thinks, is down to simply the amount of resources you can put into protecting people, and he says labour would recruit another 10,000 Police Officers, if the Security Services wanted more cash, they could get more cash. The other side of it is looking abroad, and arguing that these wars that we have had arguing that these wars that we have ha d rece ntly arguing that these wars that we have had recently in libya, iraq, syria, they are part of the problem, says mr corbyn, because they radicalise use abroad and increases the threat we face. Mr corbyn says it is not just his bube at claims senior figures in the Intelligence Community say that and he says we have to be smarter about how we go around tackling these sorts of issues. I guess that is the weaker pa rt issues. I guess that is the weaker part of his argument because it is not actually clear what mr corbyn would do. We know he wants more money for the police at home but it is not quite clear what he would do about situations like iraq or afghanistan or libya. I guess the honest truth is he just wouldnt get involved at all, but not surprisingly critics have seized on what he has said this morning, tory ministers saying it is inappropriate to have that sort of discussion now and questioning mr corbyns track record because he has pretty much voted against i think every single piece of Anti Terrorism legislation passed in the last decade or so. There are profound risks here for mr corbyn in the middle of an Election Campaign. Norman, thank you, we will catch up with you again later on. Lets also talk about the continuing investigations by police into a possible network surrounding the manchester suicide bomber, who of course killed 22 people and injured 116 on monday evening. There have been more searches overnight and our correspondent is outside Greater Manchester police headquarters. Lots of activity overnight, bring us the latest you are hearing on the investigation. Well, this is of course a very fast moving investigation, allow me to bring you up to date with what has happened overnight and this morning. One man was arrested in manchester overnight, there has been a search at a property in st helens in merseyside, and another surge ongoing in moss side in manchester as well, a different place from where that man was arrested overnight, which brings the total number of arrests so far in this investigation to ten, two people have been released, one of them a 16 year old boy, another 34 year old woman, so that leaves eight men in custody, all aged between 18 and 38. Suspected of acts of terrorism, but no one has been charged, and we must stress no one has been charged. There have been a series of raids across the area in the last couple of days, one of those yesterday evening in wigan when armed police and the bomb Disposal Unit closed offa and the bomb Disposal Unit closed off a street in wigan and people we re off a street in wigan and people were evacuated from their homes and suspicious items may have been recovered there. The threat level does remain at critical so while progress is being made in this investigation, it is clear that people who may have been associated with salman abedi are still very much being sought after by police here in Greater Manchester. I understand Greater Manchester police have been talking about leaks of information from the us . That is right, you will remember yesterday we understood police here to be furious about the publication of those photographs showing fragments of what we suspect is the bomb and the rucksack, published in the new york times, and of course there had been the early lead of the name Of Salman Abedi far earlier than Greater Manchester police would have wa nted than Greater Manchester police would have wanted that to have happened. That irritation, that frustration, led to Greater Manchester police stopping sharing directed their information with the americans. That has now resumed, there has been an issue runs from washington that there will be no more breaches of that trust, said that now has resumed. And of course this is going to bea resumed. And of course this is going to be a big weekend for police here in manchester, there are some big events, it is a bank holiday, we have the great Manchester City games happening, we have the manchester 10k, a pop concert at old trafford tomorrow night, many events happening and police making sure they go ahead as normal. Im sure you can expect there to be tight security but this is a sign that the people here in manchester and the police in manchester wanting to support people, to give them a chance to get on with things as normally as possible while the threat level still remains at critical. Later we will be asking ifJeremy Corbyn is right to link Terrorist Attacks with military action of the uk. More than 60 years ago, a young baby with big, blue eyes was found wrapped in blankets on a cinema floor in birmingham. Nobody knew where he came from or who had left him there. That baby, robert weston, went on to be adopted and have a family of his own, but with no clues to his identity he spent decades searching for answers. Now, thanks to the help ofjulia bell, a Dna Detective, robert has uncovered his family and has been united with his half Brother Tommy and half sister pat. Hes joining us withjulia and tommy for the First Time Since their union. This is such an incredible story. Lets go right back to the beginning, robert, if we can. How did you manage to getjulias help and track down your siblings . 0k, it was basically my eldest daughter. We realised we had reached the end in terms of where we could go in terms of Media Searches and she came up terms of Media Searches and she came up with the idea of a Facebook Page and she popped back up and it started to attract attention and people started to look at it. Julia was one of those people and got in touch with my eldest daughter and they had a conversation about what could be done. So, what information did you have about what had happened to you as a baby . What was your Starting Point . You are left in a cinema . Yes, absolutely. Life for me started normally until i was about three weeks of age. My mother left me in the toilets in the odeon cinema in birmingham. There was a lot of searching going on for the woman they were looking for, but they did not find anyone. In the meantime, i had been taken to hospital, checked over, found to be healthy, well nourished and cared for and wrapped up in some good clothing. I was then taken to a Childrens Home while they were searching for my mother. They did not find her so they decided to give mea not find her so they decided to give me a name and ironically they called me a name and ironically they called me robert after the bobby who took me robert after the bobby who took me in, the policeman who took me into the hospital, and the duty doctor. His surname was bruce and they gave me the name of robert bruce. Considering my family are scottish that is quite amazing. I spent the next seven years in the Childrens Home. It was not particularly nice, not a good place, then i was adopted by an amazing couple at the age of seven and i stayed with them until i was 15. So i had stayed with them until i was 15. So ihada stayed with them until i was 15. So i had a first home at the age of seven. You felt there was something missing, that you needed to connect with your blood family . Yes, absolutely. I knew from an early age that things were different. I did not have a mother or a father. That isa not have a mother or a father. That is a difficult thing to take on board. There is a grey veil either side of you. Most people can connect, they have a link to reality ina sense, connect, they have a link to reality in a sense, their culture, who they are and where they come from and they look to their parents and grandparents. I had nothing there at all. History started with me and that was a difficult thing to deal with. How do you deal with that . It took a long time, really, to come to terms with it. That is when julia stepped in to help you. Did you get in touch through the Facebook Page . Yes, initially, and i explained how he might begin to progress. yes, initially, and i explained how he might begin to progress. I am fascinated by the concept of a Dna Detective and i want to bring tommy in in a moment, but i want to know how you tracked down tommy. In in a moment, but i want to know how you tracked down tommym in in a moment, but i want to know how you tracked down tommy. It is a question of connecting to the three big databases. At ancestry dna you have about 4 Million People on there. They take privacy seriously and you can get an estimate to compare you to the population. I began to get an idea that robert was from scotland, ireland, the initial clues. Then i looked at the matching database which compares you to other people, cousins, who are on there. There was a close match but i could see nothing visible about them, but i could see they connected with others and eventually doing many family trees and looking for common ancestor pairs and working the data forward , ancestor pairs and working the data forward, dna is a tool and you use logic, intuition and science to gradually get to the family, the charmer s family, and they volunteered to test to help us get closer to the first cousin and eventually get closer to a half sibling. Tommy, when were you alerted to the fact that this was going on . This is about february. A second cousin of mine got in touch and said that she had done dna tests herself, she was looking into her own background. They knew that this was a close match, but not close enough, so her mother took a dna test, which was my cousin, deborah charmers, and they knew then it was an uncle. Unfortunately the uncles had all passed away and she asked if i would be prepared to take a dna test. I said no problem and i took the dna test and it was a match, he was a half brother. Did you have any idea at all that you had a half brother . Yes, we sort of suspected it because when my father died, when roberts father died, in 1996, there was a letter found. I have never seen this letter but some of the family have. It mentioned this was a letter from roberts mother to my father, saying that she could not afford to look after both children. There was a name mentioned in the letter of lawrie or lowry, we are not sure which. It may be roberts real name or it could be an older brothers name. We are continuing to hug for that person. Somebody appeared we think about 1977, 1978 looking for my father here. But it was an older brother of mine who told me that. Unfortunately he died two years ago so i cannot go any further with that because he was the only one who knew that. Tommy, i know you cannot see robert right now, but i am watching his reaction and at times the smiling. You are still very emotional about this. Yes, absolutely. It is astonishing really. I talked to tommy and pat and some of the others most days. I talked to a lot of the family now in scotla nd talked to a lot of the family now in scotland most days really, so it is a big difference. One minute there is nothing there and the next minute all these people are there and i get on really well with all of them. Tommy andi on really well with all of them. Tommy and i are very similar, we have a lot of similarities, we are still discovering them. Yes, it is fascinating. He is lovely. I am interested from both of your perspectives. Tommy, what was that first conversation on the phone or the first meeting with robert light . Can you share that with us . As i say, it was not really a surprise. We sort of knew there was something there but nobody ever took that forward. I remember seeing this story in the paper years ago but never put two and two together again. But its sort of all makes sense now. The first conversation was. Sense now. The first conversation was. I cannot explain it. It was. Was. I cannot explain it. It was. It took a long time for it to sink in, i think. I think it still does, it still has not sunk in properly yet that we now have another brother. It isjust a strange feeling that brings up a lot of emotions, not only with me, but the rest of the family as well. But i think overall everybody is delighted with this. Robert, what was that first meeting like for you . It was kind of a scary thing initially because i had been given this phone number and i sent him a text and things like that and then i was thinking, i am going to phone my brother. Being able to say that for the first time in my life, i am actually going to phone my brother, and at this time i did not know. I thought it was just him. I was not aware of there being other people. When i spoke to him the first time i was astonished, you know. It was amazing, really. I kept thinking to myself, i am talking to my brother. It sounds a bit silly, but it kept rolling through my head, it was pretty amazing. Then tommy in the conversation said, by the way it is not just conversation said, by the way it is notjust me. You have got five brothers and a sister. It is so much for both of you to take in. Julia, this must be the bestjob in the world. You are sitting here smiling. Definitely, i am very privileged to work with robert and with other people who do not know who their parents are. It is a real privilege. Robert has been amazing, we have met for the first time now and now i am looking forward towards finding his mother. We know brian is a possibility, aston, hendry and williams. And oswestry, have i got that correct . That is the sort of area. We have some idea as to who his mother might be. I cannot reveal that for good reasons, but she will be deceased if it is her. That might mean it is slightly less sensitive and somebody who i know might hopefully get in touch. I am hopeful we can use the power within the matching databases to do this. But if anyone can help us along our way, that would be fantastic. Robert, how important is that for you . I know your father passed away so you have not been able to meet him. How important would it be for the Jigsaw Puzzle to know who your mother was evenif puzzle to know who your mother was even if she has passed away . For me that was the focus of my search, really. I did not think i would have much chance of finding out who my dad was. I thought i would find my mother first and then my dad. So finding my father is amazing, but finding my father is amazing, but finding my father is amazing, but finding my mother is still a big pa rt finding my mother is still a big part of what i want to do. I think she had reasons for what she did, but i feel that because of the way in which i was left i do not think. I think really she was in a desperate space. I think if she had had another choice, she would not have done that. I am very keen to see where she is and find out who she is because that also helps me identify who i am from that side of the family as well. It gives me a history and it is important i also pass on to my children as much history, family history, on both sides as i can. Is it about needing to know why she left you . Yes, partly. I would understand any reason because over the years i have worked through all the emotions and things like that that go along with it. I feel a lot things like that that go along with it. Ifeel a lot of love things like that that go along with it. I feel a lot of love for her and i feel a it. I feel a lot of love for her and ifeel a connection. It. I feel a lot of love for her and i feel a connection. There it. I feel a lot of love for her and ifeel a connection. There is absolutely nothing to forgive. It is possible i will never meet her, but ifi possible i will never meet her, but if i ever could have done, i would give her a hug. It has been so lovely to speak to all of you. It is an incredible story, and i hope you make some progress. It has been lovely to speak to you. Still to come Cole On Terror is not working. That is from Jeremy Corbyn if labour wins the election. Is it right to link military action overseas to terrorists here in the uk . The pranksters who were tampering with the Walkers Crisps advertising campaign, we will talk about that. It has gone viral, it has been pulled by Walkers Crisps, so we will talk about that later on. With the news, heres annita in the bbc newsroom. The labour Leaderjeremy Corbyn will give a major speech shortly, in which hes expected to link British Military action abroad to terrorism in the uk. Hes making the comments as Election Campaigning resumes after the Terror Attack in manchester, in which 22 people were killed. The comments have already come in for criticism on both sides of the political divide, with the tories calling them inappropriate and crassly timed. Greater Manchester Police has said eight men arrested in connection with the manchester bomb attack are all suspected of Terror Offences and are aged between 18 and 38. Overnight there was another arrest and more police searches, including at an address in the st helens area of merseyside, as Police Continue their investigations into a possible wider network.

I will be back with more sport in newsroom live at 11am. The labour Leaderjeremy Corbyn is resuming his partys Election Campaign with a speech linking British Military action overseas, to Terrorist Attacks in the uk. In a moment we will speak to dr alan mendoza from the Henry Jackson society a think tank specialising in foreign affairs. And from lancaster by dr simon mabon, who researches the International Relations of the middle east and political islam. But first of all our security correspondent Frank Gardner is here, what do we know about the sheer scale of investigations that are ongoing right now notjust because of the Manchester Attack but across the country . I think it will be quite a shock to learn that what m15 released yesterday, they are currently working on 500 investigations, they have about 3000 people on their watchlist, those are the people they know about, so called persons of interest, of whom salman abedi, the bomber, was a former person of interest, and i think that will spark some serious questions being asked at whitehall as to why they we re asked at whitehall as to why they were not on his tail a bit more closely. But 500 investigations currently with the manchester investigation, ten people arrested, two have been released, eight in custody, plus remember that the bombers brother and father have both been detained in libya by what is called a deterrent force, basically in militia that is loyal to the un recognised government. Jeremy corbyn made these comments about the War On Terrorism not working, and some people may be scratching their heads thinking, where are we on the War On Terrorism . Where are we on the War On Terrorism . Update where are we on the War On Terrorism . Update us on what the uks terrorism . Update us on what the uks role is right now. 0k, uks role is right now. Ok, personally i have never liked that expression, it is like a war on air, you cannot have a War On Terrorism, it is a meaningless expression. But what it refers to is the combined international but us led reaction to Terrorist Attacks going right back to 2001. It started with afghanistan, demanding the taliban hand over alqaeda and some big garden, the leaders. They refused, so launched what was called operation interior freedom to kick out the taliban and destroy alqaeda. It only half walked, they pushed them across the border and it did not finish, it morphed into the global War On Terror, then the global War On Terror, then the global struggle against violent extremism. You get the idea. Inevitably some actions have been counter productive. Ted nigeria, for example, the government there is pursuing what it sees as terrorists with such relentless vigour that it is also killing civilians in some cases, whole villages have been traumatised, and that helps recruit people for boko haram. So there are elements of the global war against terrorism which backfired. Jeremy corbyns point is that there is a link with britains intervention overseas and what happens here. It isa overseas and what happens here. It is a risky line to go down if terrorists can use that but then again there is no denying that there is, it is one of the planks they used to justify what they are doing, one of many. Remember the people carrying out these attacks are generally people with troubled pasts, often in trouble with the law, pettigrew minerals and so on. When George W Bush launched the War On Terror, there was a feeling it was a global effort. Do you get the feeling now it is not so much, that individual countries are pursuing their own approaches . There is a coalition against isis thatis there is a coalition against isis that is very active in syria and iraq, primarily as strikes, us led but there are lots of other countries as well, mostly European Countries as well, mostly European Countries and yesterday nato agreed tojoin that coalition. Countries and yesterday nato agreed to join that coalition. It wont make a huge difference but will lend some eyes to the intelligence, scanning from the air, sea and grad targets are, but that is one of the reasons why isis is trying to retaliate in europe because their caliphate is shrinking. They had brutalised the population under their control and these air strikes are not going in willy nilly, lets just bomb some villagers, they are going in targeted, trying to rid the middle east of the organisation that has brutalised them. The people in the middle east dont want isis, lets be clear about this, isis does not represent the middle east, it is an abomination for people out there, they call them outsiders from islam. I will be keen for you to chip in on this conversation as well. I want to bring in dr mendoza, what do you make of the comments today from Jeremy Corbyn saying the War On Terror is not working . Jeremy Corbyn saying the War On Terror is not working . I dont want to focus on Jeremy Corbyn terror is not working . I dont want to focus onJeremy Corbyn himself, people can make up their own minds about that. The underlying argument gives us a perspective on history in recent times. What we are failing to do in this debate is look at what the terrorists themselves say to us, what isis, alqaeda said for many yea rs, what isis, alqaeda said for many years, which is it is actually about us, that our beliefs versus their beliefs. They have clear believes in a radical islamist system, they wish for those believes to be universal, they think that our way of life is decadent, they wish to punish us, to subvert what we do in their way instead and that is why they are attacking us, they are pretty open about this. Propaganda magazines come out all the time from isis that explain the list of reasons and it is true that Foreign Policy is at the bottom but they are open about it, it is not the main issue. Even if Foreign Policy was not there, they said they would still attack because we are not muslim, but their form of muslim, and frank is right to suggest that isis does not represent the middle east and it does not represent any number of muslims in this, it is a small section of the muslim population, but it is, crucially, linked to a religious ideology. but it is, crucially, linked to a religious ideology. I want to bring gait do, do you agree that what we are hearing, Foreign Policy aside, we will always be a target in the uk for people who want to carry out Terror Attacks . I agree but i want to add some nuance, if we look at the 7 7 attacks, it was clear the iraq war was put forward as one of the main reasons the attacks were carried out, and if we go right back to the heart of this move towards radical islamist, the writings of some of the figures, there is a clear legacy of colonialism, clear legacy of external involvement, external interference in the Domestic Affairs of middle eastern states. That is a very clear root of this problem. This radical islamist ideology does not exist purely in a vacuum, there is a much larger political, social, economic context that helps the ideology to find traction amongst people that, as frank correctly asserts, our people struggling to fit within society, petty criminals, people that have struggled to assimilate within communities. But when foreign policies have come in and have such a devastating effect on society, particularly in syria, in iraq, in afghanistan, you can see that there isa afghanistan, you can see that there is a legacy of involvement, and you can see the impact it is having on people. The problem with that argument is if you look again at what the terrorists said, over time their argument changes on the Foreign Policy question. Go back and read a book called the islamist, the author explains he was radicalised by the bosnian war, propaganda coming out saying, we did not intervene therefore we did not care about muslims, our human rights beliefs are a charade, and that encourage people like moazzam begg to go out and, or at least to go down a radical path. You have nonintervention in the 1990s, you have intervention in the 2000s, iraq, afghanistan, then of syria whether propaganda is, look at how the west stands by and let assad murder hundreds of hundreds of thousands of muslims and does nothing. Again, come andjoin thousands of muslims and does nothing. Again, come and join us, thousands of muslims and does nothing. Again, come andjoin us, we are the winners here, they are the losers, and that is what it does, so the argument changes. So it is an impossible line to frank . In the eyes of hard core jihadists, the west is dammed whatever it does, soi the west is dammed whatever it does, so i would agree with alan on that one. If you look at libya, it is a mess today, it is a low hanging fruit to say this is all the fault of the west because they intervened and then abandoned the country. They didnt want to have an army of occupation. If nato had gone into libya after the overthrow of colonel gaddafi, they would have become targets and a focus for a popular, lets get the western crusaders out of libya, amongst jihadis. Lets get the western crusaders out of libya, amongstjihadis. So libya i think has disappointed a lot of people, it should be a success story, it has massive hydrocarbon reserves , story, it has massive hydrocarbon reserves, small population, on the mediterranean shores, close to europe, it should be a success and yet colonel gaddafi and his vile regime held the country in such a vice like grip that he made sure that whatever happened after him would be disaster and sure enough the country has fragmented into all of these different items, which is why it is such an easy breeding ground for extremists. Doctor mendoza, i have been speaking to colleagues at bbc arabic who said when they have been in manchester speaking to libya ns when they have been in manchester speaking to libyans living in manchester, many of them have said, off camera or off microphone, interestingly, it is the Foreign Policy, actually, that is what is making us angry, and although i feel integrated in manchester and ifeel like this is my home, i am very angry about what is happening in libya, and they can understand, not necessarily agree with, but understand why people would be radicalised as a result. Foreign policy in general does make people angry. I debuted the example earlier of nonintervention as well, in the 19905, of nonintervention as well, in the 1990s, people like moazzam begg, not jihadists, people who had radical views because of nonintervention, they were angry about it, angry that people were dying and we were doing nothing about it, other people were angry and think we were somehow responsible for it. The libyan case is fascinating because if you look at the history of the bomber and his family, why did they flee libya in the first place . It was because the gaddafi regime was targeting them, they were political refugees. Why did they go back to libya . It was because the International Community, andi because the International Community, and i stress that word, the International Community had come together to stop gaddafi from murdering more civilians. together to stop gaddafi from murdering more civilians. I am going to have tojump in, only because i know that we are getting like pictures coming from the g7 right now. Thank you so much for joining us on the programme. The Prime Minister theresa may meeting there with other International Leaders in an incredibly beautiful part of sicily, taormina, andi incredibly beautiful part of sicily, taormina, and i thinkjames reynolds is there to speak with us as well. Angela merkel is coming and shaking hands, it is her 12 summit, it is theresa mays first g 7 summit and donald trump was my first as well. Theresa may is only staying for this day, she is not staying for the second day. She says she wants to get back to britain because of the bombing. She has a point for being here, she wants to have a conversation about stopping threats, but she will not end that conversation, there will be a lot of questions about regulation of the internet and whether that threatens civil liberties. Angela merkel has just come out. Interesting you say theresa may is only staying for one day. She wants to get home. Is that being frowned upon by people at the g7 being frowned upon by people at the g 7 or is there an understanding . No, World Leaders do this whenever there is a crisis they face at home. Other leaders do this routinely. They will go for a short amount of time toa they will go for a short amount of time to a summit, so it is pretty standard political behaviour and something the other leaders appear to understand. It gives her a short time in which to have a debate and engage the other leaders and she will want to use the several hours she is here quite wisely. Some of that time she will want to spend talking to donald trump to see if she can repair the relationship between the countries following the intelligence leak. It is donald trump was at first g 7 summit. Any idea how he will be welcomed by the other leaders . We well know in a few minutes because he will be having a handshake. Now we are almost all upset by the handshake wars, whether or not he will seek a tug with the french president like yesterday, whether he willjostle his way to the front like he did with the montenegro leader. This almost sounds like a joke, but we have to look closely at how they behave. How they get on with one another is an indicator of how they deal with each other. He was pretty brutal when he spoke at nato yesterday, he was rising and eyebrow, about how it is very expensive. Is it likely he will be critical . Possibly, that is the way he has wanted to communicate on this trip. His criticism of the nato leaders yesterday will have been received well back home by those who voted for him in the election who see a lot of us spending abroad and wonder what it is about. He did have an audience for that. But the leaders who are meeting him will wa nt to leaders who are meeting him will want to try to work out what does he mean . And what is just bluster. Lets ta ke mean . And what is just bluster. Lets take Climate Change. During the campaign he said it was a hoax. Now they are wondering if he will pull out from the paris climate agreement. They were asking do you believe in Climate Change or not . This is a chance for them to work out where he stands. Emmanuel macron, the new french president , has just macron, the new french president , hasjust come macron, the new french president , has just come out. He macron, the new french president , hasjust come out. He met macron, the new french president , has just come out. He met with donald trump yesterday. They did and they have a handshake which was described as a tug of war. Then they had another handshake at a photocall a bit later on and everyone is trying to measure each other up and get the size of each other. Emmanuel macron during his Election Campaign showed himself to be a pretty tough character. I do not believe he will give way on a lot of battles abroad either. He will see eye to eye with angela merkel. There is a strange relationship with britain at the moment given britain is moving into its brexit stage. But some countries in europe will want to stand together and say to donald trump, we need to stand to gather dashed together on Climate Change. I do not know if you can see the see behind me. This is where migrants cross. Italy want to get more agreement about what happens to those people once they get on italian soil. Others might say they want to stop people making the journey in the first place. Theresa may is only staying for one day. Yesterday i understand there was a chat between donald trump and theresa may about this leaking of information about the Manchester Attack. It was not a long conversation, it was a photo opportunity. Will they have a better chance today . I am sure they will. They are all meeting well out of our sight on the hilltop. We do not know the exact schedule of the leaders, perhaps that is flexible. But there are only Seven Members so i do not think it will take much effort for theresa may and donald trump to stand aside and talk about intelligence. Donald trump said he was as appalled as the british because of the leaking and he wanted an investigation into it as well. That seems to have resolved some of that very public tension between the two sides, but theresa may will want to talk about that today. You say they are only seven leaders, i cannot believe it has taken this long to shake hands. It is quite a walk up the hill. They have to walk along the ancient areas and there is an amphitheatre where they are watching a concert tonight. Some of the leaders may enjoy that more than the leaders may enjoy that more than the others. We had the italian Prime Minister, the host, Justin Trudeau from canada, shinzo abe abbey, from japan, ithink from canada, shinzo abe abbey, from japan, i think donald trump is the only one who has not come out. I think he is the last one. I am not sure of the protocol. This is his first summit, bear that in mind. am sure we will get some reading into what the first handshake is like. Lots of comments coming in. This is on whatJeremy Corbyn has said about the War On Terror not working and how activity with our Foreign Policy affects things in the uk. Robert says, if he believes it, how naive of jeremy uk. Robert says, if he believes it, how naive ofJeremy Corbyn to stay one of the main reasons behind mondays Terror Attack is britains involved in wars in the middle east and afghanistan. The manchester bomber may have used this as an excuse, but the main aim of radical muslim extremists is to disrupt a way of living that does not adhere to their strict religious views of society. Another tweak, we can no longer sweep the War On Terror under the carpet. The middle east has been bombed for years and it has made things worse. You may have thought big brands would have learned their lessons by now. Walkers crisps marketing managers have found out the hard way. Earlier in the week they launched this Champions League final campaign. Excited about the uefa league Champions League final . Snap and share your selfie for a chance to win tickets. Well, it was an open goal. The pranksters online saw the potential. Thank you forjoining the walkers wave and celebrating the u efa walkers wave and celebrating the uefa league final. They were submitting photographs of serial killers and criminals, and videos showing gary lineker uploading their photographs were uploaded to twitter. The online feature has now been shut down. This comes a month after pepsi had to pull an advert featuring kendalljenner amid speculation that they were trivialising street protests. She leaves a photo shoot to join a Police Demonstration and she hands and officer a can of pepsi to cheers and officer a can of pepsi to cheers and applause. It was much ridiculed and applause. It was much ridiculed and was posted on you tube but pulled in less than 2a hours. Lets speak to a branding expert. Lets speak to a branding expert. I can now talk to Allyson Stewart allen who is a branding expert and chief executive of International Marketing partners. Do they never learn or do they see this as an opportunity . What happens is the advertising agencies create the ads, they are often tested, the marketing heads say, yes, we will go ahead with this. But the marketing heads are warned there are risks with every campaign so they are not blindly going into an approval process. They are well aware that hijacking like this and the tests of adverts have certain ramifications when they are not well received. Yet decisions are made in any case, lets go ahead because the chances are perceived as low. Who do they test this on . If you look at the kendalljenner one, clearly that was going to offend sections of us society. Did they not test it on those sections or did they see it as a calculated risk . It depends on the personalities and the culture of the business and their risk appetite. In the pepsi case i do not have data that says it was tested with these groups and genders and Socio Economic groups, but it should have been if it was not. They should not have gone into it knowing fully all of the risks from all of the target market that pepsi has, which is pretty much everyone. Some products are very clear in who they are trying to reach. Feminine products is obvious, whereas brands like pepsi appeal to everyone. It is very difficult. The lesson is to err on the side of conservatism. But that means it could be boring. Potentially, but not really. The goal is engagement, the goal of any brand whether it is online or on tv, off line, the goal is to try to get the consumer to take a course of action, click on like button, tell your friends, tweet about it, but it ta ke your friends, tweet about it, but it take some action, even possibly buy the product. This is the ultimate goal, so engagement comes at a price. Engagement is interesting because people did get engaged with this walkers advert. They might say, it went viral, we still got advertising out of it. Yes and no. Having murderers and other people that potentially get associated with your brand is not what you are after. You are trying to associate the brand with good things. Yes, they got engagement, but the wrong kind of engagement. You have to think back through and that is the challenge for any marketing head. Am i prepared to go ahead with this knowing there is a risk ahead of me . It was quite naive. It was very naive because you would have known that people for fun will try something out. And look what happened. Thank you so much for coming in. Thank you so much for coming in. Bbc newsroom live is coming up next. Thank you for your company today. Victoria is back on Bank Holiday Monday with a general election audience debate live from dunstable. She will be discussing all the key issues ahead of next months vote. Do tune in then. Have a lovely day today. Thank you for your company. Good morning. If you are planning for the Bank Holiday Weekend, do not ta ke for the Bank Holiday Weekend, do not take this hot, sunny weather for granted because there are changes on the way. But today it is a story of sunshine for all of us. In the north of scotla nd sunshine for all of us. In the north of scotland it could get up to 30 degrees.
