One in tripoli. Another in the alley filled area of manchester. Weve heard in the last hour that Salman Abedis father has been spoken to. A man was found carrying a package which police apparently assessing and the uk Terrorist Threat level has been raised to critical. After four or five days, we will be in a position to name the victims after formal identification. We spoken to all of the families of those who have lain injured in our hospitals and we are doing all we can to support them too. We know that Salman Abedis family moved to manchester from libya. There were two important arrests here in the search for Salman Abedis brothers. Two of them were picked up with help from uk authorities. We know that salman abeditravel to this country regularly. After the libyan revolution that overthrew qaddafi, many libyans joined the revolution that overthrew qaddafi, many libyansjoined the islamic state, in fact they formed one of the first foreign fighting brigades, one of the most effective. It helped isis capture the de facto capital, raqqa. Fighters began to return here and eventually took control of the caliphates sutherland strongholds, sirte. Whether he was part of a wider network, we are not sure. Lots of investigation into those arrests. Lets talk about this report that is raking in the New York Times, these images, photographs that the newspaper is publishing on its website, here is the shredded backpack carried by the attacker. Its the blue back back, on the floor of the arena. It is very torn up. A couple of other pictures, some of shrapnel, and one that we can show you of the detonator. Of shrapnel, and one that we can show you of the detonator. No, we dont have that picture. Im filling you in as we are getting these pictures, but we have a picture of shrapnel and a detonator with a Measuring Tape next them. I think theres going to be a lot of questions as to how the New York Times got access to these pictures, whether they were allowed explicit permission to publish them but these are the first bit of evidence weve actually seen. There will be probably a lot of anger about this in government circles because theresa may says she has been on the phone to her colleagues to discuss what was being leaked from the investigation, but regarding the parts of the bomb, its difficult to say. The Frenzy Police are dealing with all those little bits of explosive articles because there could be some Tell Tale Signs as to who made them. Theres the Forensics Explosives Authority in kent who deal with these things as experts. Theres not much our next guest doesnt know about terrorism legislation, lord carlile, good to have you on the programme. Can i ask you whether the terrorism prevention and investigation measures in place, are they to patient do they go far enough . Theyve been used in sufficiently. They were available until 2010 at the height, there were 23 people on Control Orders at any any given time. It probably prevented a few dozen people from being murdered in suicide bombing attempts. In 2010, the Coalition Government decided to put in terrorism and investigation measures, there was a lot of protest including from myself and they added a relocation provision. That means something similar to Control Orders. Theyve barely been used. At one stage they went down to dear road. After the 2015 General Election its risen to seven individuals i believe they have an Important Role to play in dealing with people who are terrorist suspects. It has to go before a seniorjudge so its a fair system. Those who oppose them are just plain wrong, im afraid. Lets talk about the prevent measures, try doing courage people to come forward with information. Amber rudd says she wants to go further with it but weve spoken to a Community Worker today who said theyd raised these concerns and what they said to us is that prevent isnt working among muslim communities and how can it work if information isnt being dealt with. There are a number of prevent programmes that are working extremely well, including a significant one in birmingham. Those who complain about prevent, i do not believe have any evidence for what they say. However, amber rudd has given this a lot of personal, ministerial attention. I was present ata ministerial attention. I was present at a meeting before the General Election was called where i induced that the government were putting more money into prevent, and these events these atrocities demonstrate that money is needed. Its not only very good, but it is the envy of other governments. We should not throw out the baby with the bath water on the basis that some people have persuaded that its a, quotes, bad thing. Let me ask you about these leaks that have come through these leaks that have come through the American Media by the Us Intelligence services. Now these photographs that have appeared on the New York Times website, how unhelpful are they to this investigation . They are unhelpful because those investigating the case should be in control of their own investigation without the gratuitous interference of those who leaked material, and i think the New York Times has been completely irresponsible in publishing this material. It is annoying and irritating, and i share amber rudds irritation. There have been incidents in the past where americans have complained bitterly about information being known to british authorities and i think that the trump administration, which has a bad relationship with its Security Services at the moment need to get a grip and ensure that this kind of thing doesnt happen again, otherwise it will affects the cooperation with america, and other English Speaking countries, and the core operation particularly with european intelligence. If this happens on an everyday basis. Thank you for speaking to us. It will be interesting to see how well information is shared between britain Security Services and their american counterparts. Ariana grande has returned to florida. She has said she is heartbroken about the events. What have we heard from her .

Foui women and a man who were all in the car died in the accident which happened between Stoke On Trent and stafford in the early hours of this morning. The lorry drivers been arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving. Liz copper reports. The crash was on the southbound stretch of the m6 between Stoke On Trent and stafford. The Emergency Services were called just after 4 30 in the morning. Foui women and a man travelling in the car a nissan micra were killed, while another man in his 40s was taken to hospital with serious injuries. We are still in the very early stages of the investigation. It appears that it was quite a catastrophic collision between the lorry and a car, so it was a very challenging scene. The lorry driver, who is from the west midlands, is being questioned on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving. The motorway was shut southbound for almost eight hours, leading to lengthy tailbacks. The motorway has now fully reopened, but Accident Investigators will want to establish exactly how this crash could have happened, when it was early in the morning, traffic would have been relatively light and driving conditions were apparently good. Police are still trying to trace the victims next of kin, and are appealing for any witnesses to come forward. Liz copper, bbc news, stafford. The high street giant Marks And Spencer has seen its profits plummet in the last year. They dropped by 64 to £176 million. The retailer said the cost of overhauling the business, a decline in Clothing Sales, and the costs of opening new food stores were partly to blame. Our business correspondent, emma simpson, reports. Ad campaign no excuses. No staying silent. No holding back. The new campaign. The boss of m s isnt holding back either. Hes been making big changes, but theyve come at a cost. International stores like this one are closing. So too are some uk shops. The final salary pension schemes going, just some of the things that have put a big dent in profits. We want to create a business thats fit for the future, thats got foundations for growth. Weve got to get the estate right for a multichannel customer. Our customers are more and more digitally savvy and they want to shop in a different way. That means we need less stores but we need fewer, Bigger Stores with better experiences for customers in the uk. The new boss has also been trying to wean m s of what has been countless promotions and discounts, trying to sell us more stuff at full price instead. Although Clothing Sales grew at christmas, they have fallen back again in the last few months. So, is this new strategy working . Theyve done really well to cut back on the number of sales and retrain shoppers to actually pay full price for items. So, thats certainly helped in the short term. In the longer term, the core issue for m s is that its Clothing Sales have been more or less in decline for the past half a decade. Theyre really stuck in the middle theyre playing that dangerous middle ground where theyre not the cheapest, theyre not the most fashionable. The m s boss knows he needs to get clothing right. Trouble is, shoppers dont want to spend as much on fashion as they used to. Theyre spending money slightly differently. Theyre spending more on experiences, on leisure activities, on holidays. Spending decisions to buy more coffee are up by 7 . What that does mean is, in areas like clothing, spending tensions are reduced. And, for the first time in many years, the Clothing Market fell by nearly 2 . What weve got to do is make sure that in that environment, were doing the right things for our customer. Sounds easy. But turning round womens fashion, so crucial to profits, is no quick fix. And a market thats getting even tougher. The conservatives and labour have said that National Campaigning in the General Election will resume on friday, after suspending efforts for three days due to mondays attack.
