he's understood to have been born in manchester to a family of libyan origin. police and security services launched a wide—ranging investigation, as the prime minister shared the outcome of the latest meeting of the cabinet emergency committee. it is now concluded, on the basis of today's investigations, that the threat level should be increased, for the time being, from severe to critical. among the thousands of fans at the arena last night, there were many who'd been looking forward to the concert for a long time. it had been building up for me, for like years. since we got the tickets, it was so exciting. it's turned into like the most traumatic thing. we'll be reporting on the remarkable strength of spirit among the people of manchester and how the community has responded. and we'll talk to people who attended tonight's vigil in the heart of the city, where they heard a message of strength and solidarity. and in other news tonight — the actor sir roger moore has died at the age of 89. he was best known for playing the spy james bond. his family said he'd had "a short but brave battle with cancer." good evening. we're in manchester where the worst terror attack britain has seen in 12 years took place late last night, at the end of a pop concert in the manchester arena. 22 people, including some children, are known to have died and 59 people were injured, when a suicide bomber detonated a device as people were leaving the concert. police have named the suspect as 22—year—old salman abedi. the bbc understands he was born here in manchester from a family of libyan origin. tonight, the prime minister, a few moments ago, announced that the terror threat level is being raised from severe to critical. that is the very highest level. mrs may said it was possible that salman abedi was pa rt was possible that salman abedi was part of a network, planning further attacks. our first report tonight, in this extended programme, is by our chief correspondent, gavin hewitt. there are distressing images in his report on the attack. police were called to the arena just after 10. 30pm last night after the performance from the american star, ariana grande. the explosion happened in the foyer that connects the venue to victoria train station. those injured are being treated at eight hospitals in the greater manchester region. earlier today the prime minister chaired the first of today's meetings of the cabinet's emergency committee, known as cobra. she made a statement in downing street, condemning the callous, appalling and sickening attack, before then making her way to manchester to see police and members of the emergency services here. all election campaigning was suspended for the day. our first report tonight, in this extended programme, is by our chief correspondent, gavin hewitt. there are some distressing images in his report on the attack. ariana grande's concert was coming to an end. from the foyer, the sound ofan to an end. from the foyer, the sound of an explosion. 0h, to an end. from the foyer, the sound of an explosion. oh, my god. what's going on. whatjust happened. what's going on. whatjust happened. what's going on. whatjust happened. what's going on. oh, my god! there were screams, going on. oh, my god! there were screams, then running. a crowd of children, teenagers, parents, all heading for whatever exit they could find. near the entrance, 22 people we re find. near the entrance, 22 people were killed, around 60 were injured. suddenly, a massive flash, a bang, smoke and my wife, i had lay her down on the floor. she's got bruising there. she's had one that's under her chin there and bruised. she's probably broken herfever in her left leg. -- femur. something really hot just flew over us and landed behind me and my mum and my sister. then we all like dropped to the floor, but then my mum told me they're running, then i realised when i tried to run back, in because i was worried, i shouted my mum, but i couldn't hear anything because this ear is all blocked and it were just really scary. all i could hear was screaming, people crying. everyone wasjust was screaming, people crying. everyone was just running everywhere. it was completely madness. this is a public safety announcement... it was like out of a film, everyone cramming through. people had cuts like on their arms and their legs. the injured were taken to eight hospitals across greater manchester. some families and friends were split up in the rush to get emergency treatment. armed police units patrolled the streets by the arena, before the night was over, the police knew they we re night was over, the police knew they were dealing with an attack by a suicide bomber, with a home—made explosive device packed with metal fragments. during the night, specialist teams were brought in, in case there were other explosive devices. it was a deliberate attack on children and young people, timed just at the moment when parents were waiting to pick up their sons and daughters. 400 police officers were deployed along with forensic teams. earlier on, police knew the identity of the bomber, but they didn't reveal his name until late afternoon. i can confirm that the man suspected of carrying out last night's atrocity is 22—year—old salman abedi, however he has not yet been formally named by the coroner andi been formally named by the coroner and i wouldn't wish to therefore comment any further about him at this stage. salman abedi was the son of refugees, a student at salford university. on the streets today, survivors, reliving the terror of a concert that ended with murder. this is helen and issa bella. we hit the corridor, when we saw masses of people running in absolute terror and panic to get out of the place — young, teenage children, 14, 15. there were mothers with children carrying them over their shoulder. there were people with even wheelchairs panicking to get out. laura and isabella's concert ended ina laura and isabella's concert ended in a chaotic search for an exit. we just ran, i don't know which entrance we came out of, we just ran. but we also found two girls that had lost their parents or had to get home on their own. we were — they were very scared, obviously, because they were on their own. thank you. manchester has been a city on edge today. shaken by alerts and rumours and a shopping centre evacuated. it is now beyond doubt that the people of manchester and of this country have fallen victim to a callous terrorist attack, an attack that targeted some of the youngest people in our society, with cold calculation. this was among the worst terrorist incidents we have ever experienced in the united kingdom and although it is not the first time manchester has suffered in this way, it is the worst attack the city has experienced and the worst ever to hit the north of england. dozens of people are still trying to trace loved ones after last night's bombing. among the missing, olivia campbell, aged 15. some of the first victims of the attack have been named. georgina callander was aged 18, seen here with ariana grande at a previous event. john at kin son, aged 28 from bury. and eight—year—old saffie roussos was among those killed. it was an attack directed at young people, at innocence. during the day, police raided a number of houses, a 23—year—old man was arrested in connection with yesterday's bombing. an attack on a family event happened here last night was long feared. preventing a determined suicide bomber is incredibly difficult. the priority for the police will be to discover everything they can about this man, whether he's part a wider network and whether there is a risk of further attacks. tonight, the prime minister raised the threat level to its highest category. it is now concluded, on the basis of today's investigations that the threat level should be increased, for the time being, from severe to critical. this means that their assessment is not only that an attack remains highly likely, but that a further attack may be imminent. tonight, thousands of people gathered outside the town hall ina of people gathered outside the town hall in a mark of defiance. one by one, members of different faiths insisted they would not be cowed. these were sikhs with placards, "i love manchester". then the crowd heard from a local poet tony walsh. there's hard times again in these streets of our city, but we won't ta ke d efeats streets of our city, but we won't take defeats and we don't want your pity because this is is the place where we stand strong together, with a smile on ourface, mancunians forever, because this is the place in our hearts, in our homes, because this is the place that's a part of our bones. because manchester gives us our bones. because manchester gives us such strength from the facts that this... is the place. defiance, yes, but questions too as to what drove a young man to murder so many. gavin hewitt, bbc news. that statement tonight by the prime minister when she announced that the terror threat level has been increased to critical, that is the highest level, she made that statement in the past half hour or so in ten downing street. let's talk about that decision. we talk to our security correspondent at m15 headquarters in central london and our political editor in downing street. gordon, first of all, talk to us about this decision to raise the threat level and what that means in practical terms. yes, the threat level and what that means in practicalterms. yes, the announcement was made based on intelligence from the joint terrorism analysis centre, which is based here in m15. it is only the third time ever that the threat level has gone up to its highest level has gone up to its highest level and the first time in ten yea rs. level and the first time in ten years. now why has it happened? well a source i've been speaking to has said all day the focus of the investigation has been — did salman abedi act alone or was he part of a network? and this evening, they could not resolve that there weren't other people who could still be out there and pose a threat. they are not saying they know for certain that there are others out there, who are planning an attack. theyjust cannot rule that out at the moment and based on that, the prime minister has taken the decision that an attack may be imminent and the threat level needs to be raised to critical. what does it mean in practice? what it means advisably, tomorrow, we will see the military out on the streets in places where previously we would have seen armed police. that will be the visible sign something called operation tempura. behind—the—scenes, the effo rts tempura. behind—the—scenes, the efforts here at m15 will be trying to resolve that question — are there other people out there still who pose a real threat? other people out there still who pose a realthreat? gordon, thank you. let's go to downing street and talk to laura. second time today, laura, the prime minister's chaired the emergency committee known as cobra. what are downing street telling you tonight? # it's a very serious step for any government to make, raising the threat level like this, a step that has not been taken on the advice of the security services for ten years. of course, it's a step that members of the public will see and feel when they're out and about tomorrow, as gordon was saying. in some places we will see members of the military on the streets supporting the police. this is a big step for any prime minister to take and it's one that has obviously not been taken lightly. it's clear there's a wider belief in government it's not possible to rule out the possibility there was a wider plot in action here. there could have been, there could yet be a bigger group of individuals who'd been involved in the horror of what unfolded last night with potential plans for something else. of course, this is all unfolding right in the middle of all unfolding right in the middle of a general election campaign, a campaign that's been characterised by clamour and noisy debate. but in the last few minutes, all the main parties have confirmed that for them, the campaigning tomorrow is out of the question. the campaign, their hostilities, are suspended the jeremy corbyn and theresa may have beenin jeremy corbyn and theresa may have been in frequent touch today, i'm told. they've spoken again in the last couple of hours. this is a moment when despite all their political disagreements, tonight, for once, the political parties are in agreement about one thing: that their disputes with each other come second to the security of us all. thank you again, with the latest from downing street and m15, in central london. as we've heard, the first victim to be named was georgina callander, an 18—year—old student at runshaw college in lancashire. another of the victims wasjohn atkinson, who was 28. and the youngest to be named so far was saffie roussos, who was eight years old, from leyland, in lancashire. they were among the thousands who had travelled to the manchester arena for the concert by the american singer ariana grande. our special correspondent, ed thomas, reports now on the victims of terror. the youngest life lost — eight—year—old saffie roussos, at the concert with her mother and sister from lancashire. today, her headteacher said she was simply a beautiful little girl, loved by everyone. also killed, student georgina callander. she idolised ariana grande. this was the teenager meeting the singer in 2015. this afternoon, runshaw college in leyland said: our thoughts and prayers go out to all of georgina's family, friends, and all of those affected by this loss. it's devastating. my daughter left for school at 8:30am this morning and i was just praying that nobody from her school was involved, and around 11 o'clock, the school announced georgina callander had been confirmed, that she passed away last night, and then tarleton, another one down the road so, you know, all within four miles, two younger ones have died. also confirmed among the 22 who died, john atkinson from bury. friends said the 28—year—old old was an amazing young man. and tonight, families are still waiting to hearfrom loved ones, people like chloe rutherford and liam curry, from south shields, courtney boyle and philip tron from gateshead, the daughter of angelika and marcin klis has asked for help finding her parents. wendy fawell from leeds has not been found. and mothers alison howe and lisa lees are not accounted for after visiting the arena to collect their children. behind every face, a desperate search. you haven't seen this girl by any chance, have you? excuse me, i'm just asking if you've seen this young girl? have you seen this girl? she was at the concert last night. this is the uncle of 15—year—old olivia campbell. her family asked us and other media to show her picture and publicise the search from hotels to hospitals. we have been as close as we can to the arena. backstreets. hospital. we have friends and family going to other hospitals, friends in blackburn who work there, looking at their hospital. we arejust coming to an end. we need to get in contact if anyone sees her. just a phone call and we can go and get her. manchester is also remembering the injured. 59 people were taken to hospital. it's thought 12 of the casualties are children under 16. clearly, there are a number of individuals who have very, very serious injuries and are requiring intensive care. and people who are going to be in hospitalfor a long time. and tonight, at least some cause for hope. laura mcintyre, here on the left, has been found in hospital in a series condition, but alive. her friend from the isle of barra, eilidh mcleod, is still missing. it's beyond comprehension and understanding. we know that laura is in hospital with serious injuries and we have no further news on eilidh mcleod than we had earlier this morning and that is obviously deeply concerning. like so many others, young lives changed in seconds. ed is at the manchester arena for us tonight. which is a couple of hundred yards away. just reflecting on the fact that you have spent most of the last 24 hours reporting on this dreadful event and spoken to a lot of people today, what are your impressions today, what are your impressions today about how people have responded? the response has been great. it has been uniform, people have come together determined to try and hold on and show the good side of manchester, to show a positive image, but what is difficult to leave here is the images of children, young children, teenagers, in shock and in disbelief. we watched when it —— many on their phone trying to get hold of their pa rents, phone trying to get hold of their parents, just wanting to leave this city. and parents trying to get hold of their children, they did not know where they work and if they were safe or they had been heard. and in the middle of that, confusion. we watched strangers coming to court like this and giving out bottles of water to offer help and one image has stuck with me of a father holding onto his two children, two daughters, 12 and ten. he said, where am i? i want to go home. a stranger said, i am where am i? i want to go home. a strangersaid, iam not where am i? i want to go home. a stranger said, i am not a taxi driver but i will take you home, you will be safe. many people holding onto that goodness because what happened here, an attack on younger, defenceless children in the foyer after a concert has left many people in complete disbelief. thank you again, reporting all day outside the manchester arena. the latest figure is that 59 people were injured last night, including 12 people under the age of 16. many are being treated in eight hospitals in the greater manchester region. our health editor, hugh pym, is at the manchester royal infirmary. what is the latest on those being treated? of those 59 patients, nine of them are here at manchester royal infirmary. we do not know how many seriously injured or with life—threatening conditions. some of them are in the state and had been in intensive care and we are told some could be in hospitalfor quite a while yet. talking is north west ambulance service and nhs leaders, it has been made clear however much you plan for this, nothing can prepare you for the sadness and shock of a tragedy like this. but there is a quiet sense of relief that the disaster plan they drew up was put into practice and it gets delivered. and they say they spend money months planning forjust a scenario like this. a major incident was declared, hospitals were called m, was declared, hospitals were called in, the staff were called in overnight, the stuff they needed, and others came in who were not on duty, so many that some were sent back home. the ambulance service as well were greatly backed up. the point they want to make is the spirit of local manchester people. people donating blood over the road bringing in food throughout the day for staff. they say they are very thankful, another example, they say, of the spirit of manchester. many thanks. the latest at manchester royal infirmary. by noon today, the police had arrested a 23—year—old man in connection with the attack. he's thought to be from chorlton, in south manchester. one of the priorities for investigators is to find out if the suicide bomber was working alone or was part of a network that might have been planning other attacks. that is why they have raised the threat level to critical tonight. our home editor, mark easton, is at the greater manchester police headquarters in the city centre tonight. the report does contain flash photography. who was behind this attack on innocents? as the concert ended and the lights came up, as children left for home, music in their ears, smiles on their young faces, who chose that moment to indulge their hateful ideology? there's no need to bunch up and run. take yourtime and exit the building. police are convinced the suicide bomber was salman abedi and they are desperate to find out if they have accomplices still at large. our priority along with the police counterterrorist network and our security partners is to continue to establish whether he was acting alone or working as part of a wider network. a man named as the suicide bomber is salman abedi, 22, born in manchester. the son of libyan refugees who fled from colonel gaddafi, an apparently normal boy who went to a local school and supported manchester united and worked late in a bakery. today, officers launched raids on people thought to have been associates of abedi. a 23—year—old man was arrested in the manchester district of whalley range. at another house in fallowfield, a controlled explosion took place. when you watch films and you hear a bomb go off, but with muffled sound, the parents we re but with muffled sound, the parents were screaming. it was like what you see on a movie, everyone was literally scared at that moment and we got to the avenue and we saw the police and it hit home that it is real, or on your doorstep. this part of the city is known to have been home to a number of islamist extremists in recent years, some with links to syria and libya. abedi is understood to have returned from the libyan capital of tripoli a couple of days ago. to construct a viable bomb that can be safely transported and secreted through security and detonated on command is not something and it can easily achieve. police say the device was home—made with report contained nuts and bolts and ball bearings and nails. the view among security expert is the attack bears the hallmarks of a coordinated operation. this attack was planned and premeditated. and they're almost certainly will be other people involved in this attack. the most important thing is to catch them and to identify them and to bring them into custody and until we have done that, this attack really is not over. almost exactly a year ago, police and emergency services in manchester held a training exercise forjust this kind of terrorist incident. stay down! fora number of yea rs, incident. stay down! fora number of years, the threat level has been set at severe, meaning an attack is highly likely, it now it is critical, an attack is expected imminently. understandably, the city is nervous, people on edge. there is a determination not to be held by terror. manchester united is the fitting response to eat fishes attack on this fair manchester city is -- is attack on this fair manchester city is —— is toa attack on this fair manchester city is —— is to a vicious attack. our home affairs correspondent, daniel sandford, is at greater manchester police headquarters. this is within the hour, the prime minister having told us about the terror threat level is being increased. what are the police saying? are they got a good start to the investigation, they got an ids earlier arnon on the man who salman abedi believed to be the suspected suicide bomber because he had identification on emma so they were quick to raid addresses linked to him and carry out a controlled explosion to break into an address and to identify him as a 22—year—old man who was born here to refugees, from libya. then it became difficult because they just could from libya. then it became difficult because theyjust could not get to the stage where they could rule out the stage where they could rule out the possibility of others so that is the possibility of others so that is the ongoing question and critically tonight, they also have not got to the bottom of of why a man who grew up the bottom of of why a man who grew up here and went to school here suddenly turned against the country that gave him refuge. thank you, daniel. the latest thoughts at greater manchester police headquarters. as we mentioned earlier, election campaigning was suspended for the day. theresa may, who visited manchester, said last night's atrocity was an act of sickening cowardice, whilejeremy corbyn said the country should not allow the act of violence to cause divisions. theresa may will chair and a meeting of the cabinet's emergency committee tomorrow. our political editor, laura kuennsberg, reports now on reaction in the uk and across the world to the atrocity. silence at the palace garden party. then these familiar strains. music: "god save the queen". in parliament... in numberten... in edinburgh... and cardiff, every flag flying low. and in belfast, as in every place, showing respect and regret, whether with thoughts, prayers or speech. it is an absolutely barbaric attack that has taken place, to cut off young lives in this way, and it is absolutely devastating. and our thoughts and prayers must be with their families and friends. an election campaign in full pelt, now on pause. tory central command, labour h0, hardly a soul to be seen. in these circumstances, a city and a community comes together in solidarity and in strength. so we carry on. we don't allow these attacks and these people to divide us or prevent us from leading the decent, normal lives that we all want to lead. and in scotland, the snp events called off, an end to hostilities for now. there can be nothing more cowardly than attacking children and young people enjoying a fun night out. across scotland today, we stand in solidarity memories stirred in westminster of march's attack. this was a terrorist attack, deliberately targeted at children having the time of their lives. it was cowardly. it was deliberate. it is beyond wicked. revulsion shared by president trump on his middle eastern tour. characteristically blunt. i won't call them monsters because they would like that term. they would think that's a great name. i will call them from now on losers, because that's what they are, they're losers. to make a point about freedom, the new french president strolled the short distance to the british embassy to say this. translation: we will be resolute on our continent. and from berlin, where the british embassy flag flew at half—mast, a simple statement. translation: we are on your side. and flags lowered in brussels, condolences expressed online from countries around the world. may i ask you to join in a minute's silence? but here, politics stops, for now. and we stop in this moment too, to remember in peterborough... with love, we pray for all caught up in these events... to reflect in derby... in winchester tonight and perhaps everywhere, simply to wonder why. laura kuenssberg, bbc news. as we know, the attack happened at the end of a concert, almost exactly 24 hours ago. as thousands of people, including many young people and children were leaving that arena, others were arriving to take them home. many of them witnessed some really harrowing scenes as the events unfolded. our correspondent has been listening to the story of teenage cousins, of teenage cousins, ellie clayton and polly asquith—brown, who'd saved up for months to see their favourite star perform in concert. i've been waiting to see a tour for about four years. yeah. so i've literally been waiting for so long. and then she finally released her tour dates. we were like, we'll save up, we're gonna get really good tickets, cos we are gonna be at the front, and we did. yeah. so, we got the vip package. and it was just one of those things that ijust had to go. ijust had to go. icried... yeah. when she came out. i started crying. people behind me were crying, and everyone was just... it's just a bit overwhelming when you meet someone you've just idolised for four, five years. music. the gig was nearly finished, or pretty much finished? yeah, she'd done an encore and she'd just left. we got up out of our seats, literally walked to the end of our aisle, and that's when we heard...it happened. and what did you hear? just a really loud bang. i don't — it sounded more like a gun shot, but like a really loud one. it was too loud to be a gunshot and it kind of shock, everywhere just shook, and everyone screamed, and then everyone was just still. no—one really knew what was happening. and then we just heard people screaming and shouting, run! and everyone was running. it was just like a massive stampede of people. and then that's when we kind of just saw everything. yeah. what could you see? a lot of the sounds and the things that i saw, certain sights that you just, you can't unsee that. and it's real life, it's not a picture you see on facebook, it's not something you see on the news, it is real life. sirens wail. i remember seeing a little girl. i think she was with her parents. she was sat outside on the stairs of the arena and she had, like, a big gash on her chin and blood wasjust coming down her clothes, and was just screaming and her parents were crying. as we were walking further and further up, there were just blue lights everywhere, there were police everywhere and there were ambulances everywhere. people just laying in agony. it wasn't. .. it just wasn't. .. that's when we just thought, we were just like, what has happened? wejust had no idea. did you realise that people had died? i kind of caught a glimpse of inside the station and wasjust like, i don't... you just don't ever want to see things like that. there were just people lying there and the whole station, wherever the foyer bit was, it was just in pieces. and we just didn't know... i just didn't know what to do. it's so sad to think that people have gone and then not come back to, like, a happy event, to a concert. and what was going to be, like, the best night of our lives, that we'd built up. it had been building up for me for, like, years. yeah. ever since we bought the tickets. it was so exciting and it's just turned into, like, the most traumatic thing personally that i've ever been through. do you feel lucky in a way to have come back ok? oh, yeah. it's horrible to think that, you know, what theirfamilies are going through. and the people that we could hear crying and screaming for people, it's just horrific, it's awful. ellie clayton and polly asquith—brown speaking to our correspondentjudith moritz. this evening, thousands of people gathered in the centre of manchester in albert square to attend a vigil. the newly—elected mayor of greater manchester, andy burnham, said the city had shown its true spirit in the way it's responded to such a brutal event. our special correspondent, fergal keane, reports now on a city trying to come to terms with a terrible shock. our cities cannot live in constant fear of terror, however much part of life it has become. so when the night is torn by violence, there is shock, there is strength and there are questions. today, we asked the mancunians we met to speak directly to the rest of britain. when's it going to end? it's incredibly sad. our way of life is being controlled by it now, as much as we don't want it to be. we're such a united city, and it's quite harrowing to think what happened last night. it's devastating how young people fell victim to it and it's really horrible. you wouldn't expect it anywhere, but manchester is such a welcoming place and everyone's friendly. it's a beautiful place. you don't expect things like that to happen here, but for some reason they do. makes you scared at first, but you just realise you can't let the fear win. and you get on with it. you thank the emergency services for all they've done. it's manchester, life goes on. manchester was quiet today. yet also a place of emphatic declaration. allah, we ask that you allow the perpetrators of this evil action, allah, bring them to justice. it's hard. if i had one of the victims' fathers or somebody who's lost their daughter or son in yesterday's attack and i'm saying to him "look, george, alan, whoever, this is nothing to do with muslims", and yet he knows that the person who did it adhered to a so—called faith, it's hard to talk to a person like that and say this is nothing to do with the faith. i'm saying to people publicly and privately, we have to distance our faith from these barbaric terrorists. they're criminals with criminal mindsets. people here already knew what it meant to face and recover from terrorist violence. an ira bomb devastated manchester city centre in 1996. three years earlier in nearby warrington, an ira bomb killed three—year—old jonathan ball and 12—year—old tim parry. tim's father colin became a peace campaigner, but today he was thinking of the inexpressible burden of parents' grief. losing a child is the most awful event in anybody‘s life. there's no easy way to say you will one day get over it and recover, because you might, you might not. the feelings are deep. they're almost animal—like. you just lock everything down. you go inside yourself. the fact that terrorism is part of the collective memory of this city does nothing to reduce the sense of raw shock felt here today. but manchester's past experience does remind us of the resilience of democracies in the face of terrorist campaigns, and of the strength of the bonds of community. after terror attacks, the word defiance is often used. there is that here. but it's the communal sense of grief that is most profound. thoughts of our special correspondent on how manchester is trying to come to terms with the attack that happened here last night. we'll be back in manchester later in the programme. now let's join reeta in studio. sir roger moore, best known for playing james bond, has died of cancer at the age of 89. he played the iconic role in seven bond films, including live and let die and a view to a kill. david sillito looks back at his life. mr...? bond. james bond. when roger moore took onjames bond, he was a little nervous. sean connery had defined the role, but roger moore did have his own secret weapon — wit. when one is in egypt, one should delve deeply into its treasures. and he was hugely successful. a feast for my eyes! he'd come a long way from his early days as a model for knitwear. his big break on television had come in armour, in ivanhoe. born in south london, the son of a policeman, rada had helped him develop his image as a suave english gent. thank you, bruno. now i know the way! and in the saint, you could see the template for what was to come. what about your husband? he might not understand. in this and in the persuaders, he was the action man with a sense of humour. i say, daniel. i'll buy you one. in blue! oh, we played it tongue in cheek. i play most heroes tongue in cheek. you know, because i really don't...see myself as a hero. but, james, i need you. so does england. when he finally said goodbye to bond, his acting career was on the wane. but he relished a new role with unicef. they paid tribute today, saying the world had lost one of its great champions for children. forgive me, father, for i have sinned. that's putting it mildly, 007. as an actor, sir roger never pretended to have great depth. but he was blessed with charisma. he was funny, good company, and he never took it too seriously. my

to huw in manchester. thank you very much. to recap, after last night's dreadful terror attack here in manchester, 22 people were killed, 59 people injured, many of them seriously. we heard earlier from the prime minister in downing street, after a second meeting of the cabinet emergency committee today, cobra, as it's known, that the terror threat level that's been raised to critical and that is the highest possible level, meaning that an attack is considered to be imminent, a further attack considered to be imminent. let's have the latest on the intelligence that the prime minister's statement was based on. let's speak to gordon again. bring us up to date on what you've learned in the past hour or so. yes, a dramatic development as the threat level is raised to critical for the first time in ten yea rs. critical for the first time in ten years. that, sources are telling me, is because they cannot rule out the possibility that there remain people at large linked to the attacker last night who might pose a threat, who could carry out a further attack. they're not saying that's for certain. but they cannot rule out that possibility. as a result, the threat level has gone up to critical and we are going to see the military deployed on the streets in support of police. gordon, thank you for bringing us up to date. as we mentioned earlier, the attack here in manchester was the worst in the uk since the london bombings ofjuly 2005. as news of the bombing spread across the city last night, many rushed to offer to help those in need. families offered accommodation to those caught in the turmoil, and taxi drivers offered free rides to anyone in need. our correspondent, sophie long, reports on how the community come came together in adversity. manchester was a city understandably on edge this morning — panic as another building in the city centre was evacuated. smashed all the windows down in the arndale to get out. some lads have just said... everyone's just ran. this time it was a false alarm and while the threat is felt acutely, people here are coming together and the human spirit, the defiance, is strong. no amount of evilness will ever, ever dampen any good thought there is about manchester. cab drivers who worked through the night, foregoing theirfares, were back keeping the city moving again today. mostly the teenagers, like, 8 to 16 or 14 years old, all these girls they're crying for their mothers and their parents as well they're crying. then we take to their home, take to the hotel, take to the train station. i said, "how many people? jump in the cab and i'll drop you there." when i asked people how they feel about what happened here, so many people have said to me — i have no words, and words have been difficult to find today as people just begin to get their heads around the atrocity that took place right in the heart of their city. what comes more easily to people here are actions. people queued to give their blood. ijust i just really wanted ijust really wanted to come down and see if i could help at all. it's such a massive tragedy. there's been an overwhelming response on social media. i thought i'd come down and try to give blood, do my bit, yeah. others took food to hospitals where victims are being treated. people connected, in person, by phone. even the very young were among those responding. find the policeman. helping to keep people going. thank you. it's so close to home. we're sat at home, might as well help in whichever way we can. on the city's streets today, a real sense of community. after what happened yesterday, there's a responsibility to do something. and just want to show people that they're loved, so we're just show people that they're loved, so we'rejust going show people that they're loved, so we're just going round show people that they're loved, so we'rejust going round hugging people, because ultimately, love is the only thing we can do when we're faced with hate. and tonight, concert goers were undeterred as simple minds took to the stage just a mile away. think of the victims of last night. this is how will people are responding to the horror visited on their city. they are coming together and they are carrying on. as we've heard, last night, the crowds had come to see the american star ariana grande in concert. many of the audience were teenagers, some even younger. emergency services say that of the 59 casualties taken to hospital following the attack, 12 were under the age of 16. our correspondent, seema kotecha, has been hearing from one young fan. yeah, logic is flawless. ariana grande, once a child star, now a global pop icon. the 23—year—old rose to fame after starring in a tv series on nickelodeon called victorious. she then turned to music and topped the charts with her songs. on social media, she is one of only six people in the world who have more than 100 million followers on instagram. on snapchat, she's one of the most viewed. and her trademark bunny ears are popular with millions. she's the best thing ever. she's nice and she's kind, and she's really pretty. she's just amazing. nine—year—old summer describes herself as the pop star's number one fan. she went to the concert last night after getting a ticket for christmas. if i saw ariana grande, just sat right there, i would cry! with joy. and i would hug her, and i'd do anything to meet ariana grande. tens of thousands of fans packed manchester arena to see ariana grande. many of them were children. the singer responded to the attack on twitter by saying... other celebrities with young fans have taken to social media to pay tribute to those who died, and to express their shock. i think that the greatest thing we can do isjust unite, and love each other. no barriers, no borders. we all need to just coexist. when i think of manchester, the place that i know, i think of the spirit of the people there. and i'm telling you, a more tight—knit group of people you would be hard—pressed to find. we will go to bed holding our little ones even tighter this evening. summer and her father are spending time together. they're talking about what happened — something child psychologists say young people who might be affected by the attack should do. the mayor of manchester, andy burnham, is with me. he took up a couple of weeks ago.
