Thats all we can do. This Bank Holiday Weekend there are big events happening across the country, from liverpools Sound City Festival to radio 1s big weekend in hull. Security has been stepped up across the board, but, even so, there are some people with tickets who have sold or returned them, feeling too uncomfortable to go. Just when youre thinkin things over. This afternoon, Madchester Legends The Charlatans played an intimate gig. Tomorrow night, theyll be playing at old trafford cricket ground. 50,000 people bought tickets. The band know that some of those are now too worried to turn up. I feel that, too. I think its ok to be nervous. But i think its important to get back on your feet after something so treacherous. Many of the bands fans say they are undaunted, like mary and dave, who travelled from nottingham to manchester to see them play. My family were a bit worried, i must admit. But, no, i wasnt at all worried. The biggest fear to me was would it be cancelled. From new tatt

Operations. Really interesting detail is that salman abedi, the manchester attacker, and also khalid masood, who committed the westminster attacks several weeks ago, were both former subjects of these enquiries. They will not live suspects at the time of their attacks. Its quite a jittery sort of fa ct attacks. Its quite a jittery sort of fact to learn, that they had been under suspicion that they had been deemed safe enough to move on enquiries from. You wonder how the Security Services are meant to cope with that number of potential suspects. Extraordinary. 20,000 who featured in that previous risk category, which is pretty scary. I heard an interesting debate on radio 2 today about, if we did not renew trident, we would release 400, sorry, £40 billion. Somebody was suggesting, we could put that straight into Security Services, because it takes 30 officers to monitor one suspect. Its incredibly labour intensive.

The acting labor secretary, Naval Operations chief and commandant of the marine corps were on capitol hill this morning to brief members of the Senate Armed Service committee addressing concerns about readiness and modernization. The hearing runs about two and half hours. The fiscal year 2018. I want to thank each of our witnesses for their distinguished service to the nation, as well as the sailors, marines and surveillance they lead were serving around the world today and recent months our nations senior civilian military leaders have testified to this committee about the severe threats we face around the world. The report shortfalls in readiness that our military has advantage over our potential adversaries is eroding and the dire need for new modern capabilities. Yet, as secretary matus testified here on tuesday, the greatest immediate threat that our military bases is right here in washington, fiscal uncertainty, continuing resolutions, arbitrary and inadequate caps on defense spe
