Those in the park were led away, although some claimed they were allowed back in for a short period before the park was closed by Zoo Officials who later handed out a short statement which said this appears to have been a freak accident.

Frankie mccamley is at Manchester Victoria for us this morning. What is the very latest . Good morning. Good morning. This is the Station Thatis good morning. This is the station that is joined to the arena and it was just between the two where the bomb went off. Now, part of the station still does remain closed because it has been severely damaged. We have seen the transport secretary, chris grayling, and andy burnham, the mayor of greater manchester, Walking Around this morning. Theyve been Meeting Staff as theyve been arriving and of course some of the staff were the First Responders on the night of the attack they were here before any of the police got here so ive just seen some of those arriving, seeing the station again visibly upset. Last night, a vigil was held in the centre of the city, a minutes silence at 10. 303, the time when the bomb went off, a time for people to contemplate.

With just over a week to go until the General Election, theresa may will today turn the focus of the Conservatives Campaign towards brexit. Jeremy corbyn will campaign on the issue of childcare as labour seeks to turn the spotlight on Public Services. Last night they both faced questions in a Live Television broadcast. Our Political Correspondent ben wright was there. This was the first time theresa may and overminute had appeared at the samesen yew in front of the same audience for a grilling in front of the cameras since the election was called. The Labour Leader had wanted to debate with the Prime Minister one on one, but the tories refused. Jeremy corbyn was the first to face the audience, the order decided by the audience, the order decided by the toss of a coin. He was asked about his determination to deal with terror threats. He was also asked about his approach to business. This country is badly divided between the richest and the poorest. You put Corporate Tax and tax at the top end down, the tuition gets greater. Are you happy that so many of our children are going to school with super sized classes . So many of our children are going to School Hungry. Next it was theresa mays turn and she faced questions over the torys social care policy. So why, Prime Minister, should we and my Generation Vote for you . So what happens is, people are paying for care, people are finding that they are having to sell their house, many people are having to sell their house to pay those care bills and many find that theyre not able to leave money to their families. Now, i want to take those risks away and thats what the proposals ive put forward a re thats what the proposals ive put forward are about. Its about ensuring that nobody is going to have to sell their house to pay for ca re have to sell their house to pay for care in their lifetime. Afterwards, it was clear neither leader had landed or suffered a killer blow. The grilling has just ended and senior politicians from the Political Parties are out giving their own slant on how it went. I think team corbyn and team may will both be pretty pleased. The two people wanting to be Prime Minister Afterjune 8th will have another chance to make their case at a bbc Question Time special on friday. Ben wright bbc news. The Scottish National party will launch its election manifesto today. It was originally planned for last tuesday, but was delayed due to the manchester bomb attack. Our Political Correspondent Steven Godden is in perth for us this morning; steven whats likely to be in the manifesto . Good morning. You can see the general pitch on the banners behind me. That is a vote for the snp, a vote for a strong voice for scotland At Westminster. This manifesto is key to their plans to maintain their dominance of the electoral map here in scotland, an outcome that they argue should bring with it influence over key areas of policy like brexit where Nicola Sturgeon wants a seat at the negotiating table. Another key area, the prospect of a second independence referendum this year, winning the vote here in scotland would not only give them the right to hold that but it would allow them to hold that but it would allow them to deck tate the timing. Another important area for them is an anti austerity plan, the snp want to release £118 billion over the course of the parliament, extra money to be spent on Public Services. As for some other detail; pensions, they wa nt to some other detail; pensions, they want to protect the triple lock and they want to increase the minimum wage too the level of a Real Living Wage. The speech is at 11 and voters then have nine days to decide. Later this morning well speak to the snps deputy leader Angus Robertson, thats around 07110.

Tiger woods has denied hed been drinking when he was stopped whilst driving his car in florida yesterday morning.

There are just nin days until the General Election so breakfast is back on the road finding out what matters to voters. Dan is in llandudno for us. Morning good morning. The mist is clearing. We are only 15 minutes into the programme and its Getting Better already. The breakfast butty van and cameras are out all this week. Well be in Northern Ireland tomorrow, scotla nd be in Northern Ireland tomorrow, Scotland Friday and today we are looking at issues across wales and some of the things you will be voting on in nine days time across the uk. Welcome to llandudno. Its the uk. Welcome to llandudno. Its the queen of the resorts. Here are some facts for you which i was picking up from people on social media yesterday. Home to the longest pier, 700 metres, inspiration to alice in wonderland. Home to one of the oldest punch judy shows in the uk. Matt will be doing the weather from there later on if it shops raining. And home to 21,000 people as well. Plenty to see around here. We sent steph up on the great orm for not only a history lesson, a geography and politics lesson wrapped into one. Here is Professor Mcgovern llandudno and the great cop ermine, 110w Llandudno and the great cop ermine, now a tourist attraction, the history of this mine goes back to the bronze age. For thousands of yea rs, the bronze age. For thousands of years, copper, coal and the bronze age. For thousands of years, copper, Coaland Iron Mining we re years, copper, Coaland Iron Mining were the industries that helped shape this country. At its peak, wales controlled half of the worlds copper production. The labour party has dominated this heavily industrialised and unionised nation, having won elections here for more than 70 years, but could that be changing . Despite not winning any seats here in 1997 an 2001, the conservatives are now polling well in wales. Above ground, the great tramway has been chugging up the Limestone Head land of llandudno for over 100 years. Keeping the wheels of this tram turning is largely thanks to a £1 million injection of funding from the European Union. As one of the poorest states in the eu, wales qualifies for high levels of funding from the European Union so by2020, funding from the European Union so by 2020, it will have received £5 billion worth of it. Despite this, wales decided to leave the European Union in the referendum injune. A big employer here is the Public Sector and the Nhs In Particular is steeped in waless past and present. The largest workforce across wales is in health and social work and it was the Welshman Nye Bevan who founded the nhs. Wales has a strong, Proud National identity and it was here over 90 years ago that the Political Party plaid cymru was formed. The aim was to preserve the welsh language. Unlike the growth of nationalism in countries like scotla nd nationalism in countries like scotland where theyve seen the popularity of snp rise, it hasnt quite worked out like that here. But. With the greats ofjim callaghan, david lloyd george, michael foot and Michael Howard ail hailing from here, its pretty clear that this country has a Strong Political landscape. Lets talk a bit more about that. We can see the Wales Rugby Team bashing a ball around. We arejoined with oui a ball around. We arejoined with our first a ball around. We arejoined with ourfirst guest on a ball around. We arejoined with our first guest on the sofa from uk ina changing our first guest on the sofa from uk in a changing europe. Wales is an interesting example of how the debate rages around the build up to the General Election because, theres more eu funding in wales than anywhere else in the uk yet wales voted to leave. Its hard to explain that really isnt it . It is ha rd to explain that really isnt it . It is hard to explain. Also remember that 60 of welsh exports go to the eu so wales is tightly bound into the eu market. Its a picture you see across a lot of the country, people voted partly out of frustration with what they saw as a politics that wasnt working, as well as irritation with the eu. Thats why wales, along with industrial parts of the uk, voted to leave. There are quite a few signs up here saying, this was funded by the eu, so tangibly you can see what influence whats had. Given that and that frustration that maybe led to that vote, how do you think brexit will influence the General Election voting next week . That is the massive question. No one knows for certain just whether we have a new Brexit Divide in our politics or not. Its worth noting welsh politics was changing before the referendum. 2010 and 2015, lots of voters went to ukip. The question 110w voters went to ukip. The question now is whether some go back to labour or whether, as some expect, they slide over to the conservatives. We face the prospect of the conservatives possibly winning in wales for the first time ina long winning in wales for the first time in a long time. Labours won in wales since i think 1922 but the polls at the moment are all over the place so its very hard to predict. Theresa may will be speaking later on and well see that the conservatives are going to hammer home the brexit point from this point onwards. We have had the ma nifestos point onwards. We have had the manifestos now as well, you have had a good look through those. This has been an accusation
