Im annita mcveigh, welcome to bbc Newsroom Live. The labour leaderJeremy Corbyn, as we have let you know, is about to give a speech in which shall say there was a connection between British Foreign policy abroad including wars in the middle east and north africa and terrorism at home. Hell also say a Labour Government will be one which will reduce rather than increase the Terror Threat. The conservatives have already reacted to this by saying the comments are inappropriate and crassly timed in light of the attack In Manchester on monday night. We will be back there in Central London as soon asJeremy Corbyn starts that speech. First, lets get the latest on the investigation into the Terror Attack In Manchester in which 22 people were killed. Jane hill is In Manchester. Good morning from saint and square where people continued to come to Lay Flowers A nd people continued to come to Lay Flowers And read the hundreds of m essa 9 es flowers and read the hundreds of m essa g Es Of Flowers and read the hundreds of messages of tributes to the 22 people who lost their lives in the city on monday night. The last of those to be named, a 15 year old girl, a reminder of how many very young people were attending that concert at the Manchester Arena. In terms of the investigation, there have been a total of ten arrests, eight people still in custody. In connection with this continuing enquiry. Eight people still in custody aged between 18 and 30. 38. Police say they have searched an address in st helens and In Merseyside. St helens In Merseyside. St helens In Merseyside. But is not in relation to any specific threat. Police have resumed sharing intelligence, we had a continuing row yesterday after the leaking of various elements of the investigation from sources in the united states. A huge amount of political anger around all of that. The security minister ben wallace has been speaking on radio and television this morning. He says that an extra protective shield of resources is now in place. Lets hear a bit more about his explanation and his assessment of this continuing investigation. This is not about failure. This is about the challenges, the scale of the challenge we face at the moment. M15 have now clearly said that the number of people they are investigating everyday, huge number of people, we have anywhere between 400 to 500 large cases of investigation. Live cases of investigation. There are 3000 people within that group, and another 12,000 people that are often flagged as of interest that we have to make the judgment. And 500 active plots as we understand that we are dealing with . 500 active investigations. Some of those development plots, some of them before to that stage we disrupt. Some turn out to be people boasting but dont actually turn out to have any credibility behind them. And that is the big challenge that these professionals have to make. Ben wallace, the security minister, talking there. The Investigation Continues and we will update you from st anns square later in the hour and keep you up to date with everything of this enquiry. 22 People Killed on monday, 75 people in hospital. Jane, thanks for joining us. Will be back with her in a little while. Lets return to the Jeremy Corbyn speech in london due to begin imminently. Lets get our assistant Political Editor norman smith. Jeremy corbyn is expected to link british reaction aboard the terrorism in the uk, saying the labour would change Foreign Policy. Are we expecting much detail on that . That will be one of the key questions because we know mr corbyn is against Foreign Military investigations abroad in interventions. We will hopefully find out more. You can hear the cheers from inside. We are told a lot to be a 0 a afterwards. A lot of journalists want to press him. Lets have a listen to what mr corbyn has to say. Good morning everyone. I and labours leader in the house of lords, thank you becoming this morning. Although National Campaigning is resuming today, we all know that it does so in the most sombre and subdued way. As we move forward, we now that all those affected by mondays atrocity will be in our thoughts. Tommy haas, including the photographers press, can we including the photographers press, can we ask that everyone including the and press can stand for those who have lost their lives and for whom life will never be the same. Thank you everybody. In the circumstances, it is appropriate that we resume labours Campaign Witha appropriate that we resume labours campaign with a speech from our party leaderJeremy Corbyn. That allows him the opportunity to set up his commitment to the most important issue that affects all of us. The safety and security of the people across the uk. In the face of such appalling terrorism. Jeremy, if youd like to address the audience please. Applause thank you very much everyone for being here this morning. On what is continuing to be a sombre time in this country before the history and obviously, reflections on what has happened In Manchester. 0ur obviously, reflections on what has happened In Manchester. Our whole nation has been united in shock and grief this week. As a night out at a concert ended in horrific terror. And the brutal slaughter of innocent people who were out enjoying themselves. When i stood in Albert Square In Manchester at the i , there was a sense of defiance. They sent a powerful message of solidarity and love. It was a profound Human Impulse to stand together, caring and strong. And it was actually very, very inspiring. In the past few days, we have all had perhaps thought its more about our country, thought a bit more about our country, our community and people. The people we lost to atrocious violence, who have suffered grievous injury, so many of them heartbreakingly young people. Those young lives will never come back. The people who we are asked to protect us and care for us in the Emergency Services, who yet again did our country proud, the police, firefighters, paramedics, nurses and doctors. People who never let us down. And deserve all the support that we can give them. And the people who did their best to help on that dreadful monday night. The homeless men who rushed forward to carnage, to comfort the dying. The taxi drivers who took the stranded home free. The local people who offered comfort and even their homes to the teenagers who couldnt find their parents. Any of us who are pa rents their parents. Any of us who are pa re nts ca n their parents. Any of us who are parents can understand the unbelievable, trauma of knowing a bomb has gone off at a concert is your children are attending and you dont know what has happened to them. They are the people of manchester. But we know that attacks like the one at the Manchester Arena could have happened anywhere and that the people in any city, town or village in britain, would have responded in exactly the same way. It is these people who are the strokes and the heart of our societies. Strengths. They are the country we love and seek to serve. That is the solidarity that defines the country. I meet this on the street every day, but human warmth, the basic decency and kindness. It is our compassion that defines the britain i love. And it is compassion that the bereaved families need most of all. At this time. To them, i say the whole country reaches out its arms to you and will be here for you, notjust this week but in the weeks and years to come, as the trauma will never wholly disappear. Terrorists and their atrocious acts of cruelty and depravity will never divide us. They will never prevail. Applause they didnt in westminster two months ago, they didnt whenjo cox was murdered a year ago, they didnt in london on 77 and the awe inspiring response of the people of manchester and their heroism and kindness of a demonstration that they will fail again. Applause but these vicious and contemptible a cts but these vicious and contemptible acts cause profound suffering. And among the tiny minority they are used as an opportunity to try and then communities against each other. Turn communities against each other. Let us be clear, the man who Unleashed Carnage on manchester targeting the young and young women and girls in particular, is no more representative of muslims than the Murder Ofjo Cox spoke for anyone else. Applause young people, and especially young women, must and will, be free to enjoy themselves in our free society. I have spent my political life working for peace and human rights. And to bring an end to conflict and devastating war. That will almost always mean talking to people who profoundly disagree with. That is what Conflict Resolution is about. But dont count my determination to take whatever action is necessary to keep our country action is necessary to keep our cou ntry safe action is necessary to keep our country safe and protect our people on our street on our towns and cities and at our borders. Applause there is no question about the seriousness of what we face. Over recent yea rs, seriousness of what we face. Over recent years, the threat of terrorism has continued to grow. You deserve to know what a Labour Government would do to keep you and yourfamily safe. Government would do to keep you and your family safe. 0ur government would do to keep you and your family safe. Our approach will involve change at home and change abroad. At home, we will reverse the cuts to our Emergency Services and police. 0nce cuts to our Emergency Services and police. Once again In Manchester, they proved to be the best of us. Austerity has to stop. The accident and Emergency Ward and on the Police Station door. We cannot be protected and cared for on the cheap. Applause there will be more police on the streets under a Labour Government and if the Security Services need more resources to keep track of those who wish to murder and maim them they should and will get them. Then they should and will get them. We will also change what we do abroad. Many experts including professionals in our intelligence and Security Services, have pointed out the connections between wars we have been involved in all the portadown 1a have been involved in all the portadown14 in other countries such as libya and terrorism or supported in other countries such as libya. Those who attack our children, those terrorists will forever be reviled and implacably held to account for their actions. Applause an informed understanding of the causes of terrorism is an essential pa rt causes of terrorism is an essential part ofan causes of terrorism is an essential part of an Effective Response that will protect the security of our people that fights rather than fuels terrorism. Protecting this country requires us to be both strong against terrorism and strong against the causes of terrorism. The blame is with the terrorists but if we are to protect our people, we must be honest about what threatens our security. Those causes certainly cannot be reduced to Foreign Policy decisions alone. 0ver cannot be reduced to Foreign Policy decisions alone. Over the last 15 yea rs or decisions alone. Over the last 15 years or so, a subculture of often suicidal violence has developed a mostly tiny minority of mainly young men, falsely drawing authority from islamic beliefs. And often nurtured ina islamic beliefs. And often nurtured in a Prison System in urgent need of resources and perform. Applause and no rationale based on the actions of any government can rightly excuse or even adequately explain outrages like this weeks massacre. We must be brave enough to admit that the War On Terror is not working. We need a smarter way to reduce the threat from countries that Nurture Terrorists and generate terrorism. That is why i set out labours approach to Foreign Policy earlier this month. It focuses on strengthening our National Security in an increasingly dangerous world. We must support our armed forces, foreign office, International Professionals and diplomats engaging Ina Professionals and diplomats engaging in a world in a way that holds peace and security. Seeing the army on our own streets today is a stark reminder that the current approach is not really working so well. I would like to take a moment to speak to our soldiers on the streets of britain. You do what, your duty as you have done that can occur you have done your duty as you have done before. But you will be appointed abroad only when there is the resources to do yourjob and secure an outcome that delivers lasting peace. Applause. That is my commitment to our armed forces. That is my commitment to our country. I want the solidarity, humanity and compassion that we have seen on the streets of manchester this week. To be the values that guide our government. There can be no love of country if there is neglect or disregard for its people. No government can prevent every Terrorist Attack. If an individual is determined enough and callous enough, sometimes they will get through. But the responsibility of government is to minimise that chance. To ensure the police have the resources they need, that our Foreign Policy reduces rather than increases the threat to the country, and that time, we Never Surrender the freedoms we have one and that the freedoms we have one and that the terrorists are so determined to ta ke the terrorists are so determined to take away. Applause. Too often, government has got it wrong on all three counts. And in security is going as a result. However you decide you should be the next government, they must do better. Today we must stand united in our communities coming united in our values, and united in our communities coming united in ourvalues, and united in our determination not to let triumph those who seek to divide us. So for the rest of this Election Campaign, we must be out there. Demonstrating what they would take away. 0ur freedom, our democracy, and our support for one another. Democracy will prevail. We must defend our democratic process, when our arguments by discussion and debate. And stand united against those who seek to take our rights away or who will divide us. Last week, i said the labour party was about bringing our country together. Today, i do not want to make a narrow Party Political point. Because all of us now need to stand together. Stand together in memory of those who so tragically lost their lives In Manchester this week. And the pain theirfamilies are manchester this week. And the pain their families are suffering and will continue to suffer. Stand together in absolute solidarity with the city of manchester. And stand together for democracy. The city of manchester. And stand togetherfor democracy. Because the city of manchester. And stand together for democracy. Because when we talk about British Values including tolerance and mutual support, democracy is at the very heart of it. And our general Election Campaigns are the centrepiece of our democracy. The moment all our people get to exercise their Sovereign Authority over their representative. Rallies, debates, campaigning in the marketplace is, knocking on doors, listening to people. On the streets, and workplaces and in the home. All the arts of peaceful persuasion and discussion of the stuff of our complaint. They of our campaign. They remind us that. By whim or religious decree, and never coun
