Good Afternoon And Welcome to the Bbc News at one. The Public Inquiry into the Manchester Arena Bombing will publish its first report in the next hour, focusing on security at the venue. 22 people died and hundreds were injured when Salman Abedi blew up a bomb in his rucksack in the arenas foyer, four years ago. There will be two more reports to come, on the Emergency Response and what happened to each of those who died, and also whether the atrocity could have been prevented.

The area at risk of these Thundery Downpours as we go through the evening and overnight, but for the evening and overnight, but for the majority, where we have lost that humidity it will be a far more
