amber rudd took her opportunity. if theresa may had come along, she'd have said what her stand—in said next. i was thinking how chaotic it would be if they all got together, formed a coalition and tried to run a government. a tory ukip coalition! jeremy corbyn was put under pressure. he'd come to apply pressure of his own on pensions. are you going to protect the triple lock? jeremy, have you not read my manifesto? i'm happy to give you a copy after. i'd love to have one. but i'd rather you answer now. are you going to protect the triple lock? it's not about the triple lock. terrorism was always going to be a hot topic, and it was. i am shocked thatjeremy corbyn, just in 2011, boasted that he had opposed every piece of anti—terror legislation in his 30 years in office. my opposition to anti—terror legislation isn't opposition to protecting us from terrorism. it's simply saying there must be judicial oversight over what is done in our name. there is, there is! it got heated. ukip‘s leader demanded more action

her leader's favourite, amber rudd. fewer fa ns leader's favourite, amber rudd. fewer fans but a leader's favourite, amber rudd. fewerfans but a bigger motorcade and a single mission, take down jeremy corbyn. wherever theresa may was, she wanted this, the nearest thing this election has to a contact sport, to go her way. amber rudd was straight into the attack afterjeremy corbyn criticised treatment of those on disability benefits. you are not credible... there is no extra payment you don't want to add to, no tax you don't want to rise. but the fa ct tax you don't want to rise. but the fact is we have to concentrate resources on the people who need it most, and we have to stop thinking as you do that there is a magic money tree. you have to be accountable... i would like to bring in other parties. it was already a personal confrontation. the labour leader counterattacking on poverty. i would just say this, since amber rudd seems confident this is a country at ease with itself, have you been to a food bank, have you seen people sleeping around our stations? have y

so with this, amber rudd's tactic was clear. ignore the others, but slam jeremy corbyn hard at every opportunity. jeremy, i know there is no extra payment you don't want to add to, no tax you don't want to rise. but the fact is we have to concentrate our resources on the people who need it most and we have to stop thinking, as you do, that there is a magic money tree. you have to be accountable for the money you want to spend. have you been to a food bank? have you seen people sleeping around our stations? jeremy corbyn managed quite a few slams back. we cannot go on giving money away to the very rich. this government is proposing another £60 billion in tax giveaways in the next five years. instead i say turn it round and invest in the future of all of our people. with so many participants, the debate often descended into chaos. particularly when they were arguing about chaos. this is chaotic, chaotic. as the government, the conservatives were doing the most defending. judge us on our record... laughter we have cut the deficit.

the guardian sasteremy corbyn challenged amber rudd over the impact of the government's spending cuts following his last minute decision to take part in the bbc election debate. the daily telegraph notes that the home secretary represented theresa may in the debate, just 48 hours after the death of amber rudd's father. the times reports that the prime minister is concentrating on brexit after her refusal to take part in tonight's tv debate. the daily express leads on theresa may's warning that jeremy corbyn is plotting uncontrolled immigration if labour wins the election. under the headline ‘justice' the metro leads on the surgeon who's been jailed for 15 years for carrying out needless breast cancer operations. the ft reports that china and the eu have agreed a climate pact as doubts emerge over the us‘s commitment. we can begin with that debate in cambridge. was it a mistake for theresa may not to take part because jeremy corbyn at the last minute did? this is the front page of the times, have faith in me. implying that theresa may is hard at work on brexit. she once this electi

amber rudd... there are two specific points here, one is about the level of the cap on social care, and the other is, you have not said at what level you will be means testing the winter fuel payments. we have said we will consult on that, but a have said we will consult on that, butai have said we will consult on that, but a i can tell you very clearly that millionaires will not be given it. jeremy corbyn has asked me about looking after pensioners, and i would like to answer that. we will a lwa ys would like to answer that. we will always look after pensioners to make sure they have dignity and security in retirement. we have committed to making sure that their pension will a lwa ys making sure that their pension will always be updated according to inflation. that is so different to the commitment they got under labour. tim farron? amber rudd is not answering the question. we have a general election in eight days' time, theresa may assuming a great landslide, which is wetting —— where she thi

let's hear him clashing with amber rudd over payments to disabled people. we are a party who always supports those in most need. and the welfare bill for helping people on disabilities has gone up £7 billion in the last seven years. and is now at £50 billion. we will always provide that safety net. amber, you tried to remove safety nets away from people on disabilities and turned around on that. you are not credible. i know there is no extra payment you do not want to add to, no tax you do not want to rise, but the fact is that we have to concentrate our resources on the people who need it most. and we have to stop thinking, as you do, that there's a magic money tree. you have to be accountable. not surprisingly the issue of brexit was a strong theme throughout the debate. the leader of the liberal democrats tim farron said it was vital that britain remained in the single market. we also have to get the big choices right. the elephant in the room. the fact is, we need to remain in the single market or else we will not be able to afford the national health

amber rudd seems so confident that this is a country at ease with itself. have you been to a food bank? have you seen people sleeping around our stations? ijust have to take on some of jeremy corbyn's fantasy economics. i mean, he has this money tree wish list in his manifesto. meanwhile, the prime minister, campaigning in the west country today, defended her decision not to be in cambridge for tonight's debate. i think debates where the politicians are squabbling among themselves doesn't do anything for the process of electioneering.

she was the only one getting under the skin of amber rudd. landing blows on her, pointing out that it is working people who use the banks, who have been pushed into poverty by the cuts of the tories, calling out for arms sales to saudi arabia. i think it shows the kind of thing is that the green party would do when any party is in power. we call people out on the important issues and we are there to challenge whoever is there. people watching today will see what a difference a green and paint makes to the debate and they will wa nt want more —— a green mp makes to the debate. but are they wanting more of that on their doorstep? you know, the proposals for a progressive alliance, that has not taken off. kvitova debates today, you can see a remarkable amount of agreement between different parties. there is a consensus emerging against the austerity parties, the anti—immigration rhetoric, and that came from the audience. if you picked a balanced audience today, every time somebody made a point about fairness and equality, eve ryo ne about

frank, we have been speaking to the home secretary here amber rudd. so much of this is based on intelligence that we are not able to know at this point. we do know, though, that the terror threat has been raised. she gave us terror threat has been raised. she gave us some terror threat has been raised. she gave us some of the reasons why, and we know that soldiers will be deployed as well. what does it all mean in practical terms, do you think? it means that police leave gets cancelled. they really stretch themselves to maximum resources. they can only do that for a limited period of time. it is absolutely exhausting. the worry is that if there are people at large, they will simply lie low and wait for people to relax their guard a bit. there again, they have got to take a risk, the longer they wait if they have got more devices, there is the risk of them being discovered. but let's hope there aren't any more other devices. in terms of numbers, the sort of figures being talked about last night between military and the police were between 400—800 mil

we have also seen just before amber rudd. we have also seen tim farron the liberal democrat leader arriving for the debate. and we had leanne wood from plaid cymru and also caroline lucas from the green party arriving. so all in place. but the prime minister herself is not there because she says she would rather be out and about meeting voters. clive is in the spin room where everything will be digested and poured over a little bit later. it will indeed. it is now beginning to fill up. i have been here for the last couple of hours and now the journalists and pundits, the analysts are all here and really your understanding of what happens this evening in the debate on the front pages of the newspapers tomorrow, on radio and television, much of that will be framed in this very room and also some of the politicians from the seven parties taking part tonight, they are also here trying to influence some of the copy that the journalists are going to file. so it will be an interesting place to observe the debate from here in the cam

amber rudd a p pa re ntly immigration targets? yes. amber rudd apparently refusing to guarantee that a previous tory commitment made by david cameron of bringing net migration down below 100,000, so in the tens of thousands, a commitment that the cameron government had made, there is no guarantee as yet that this is going to be in the tory ma nifesto, that this is going to be in the tory manifesto, when we get it, hopefully, in the coming weeks. amber rudd was saying, our manifesto is not going to be identical to the last one, but we do want to continue to bring immigration down. everyone is wondering, will it be a commitment, will it be a pledge, will it be an aim? will we get some figures and another commitment on immigration? will we get that commitment from the tories? interesting in the interview that she appeared to be suggesting that circumstances had changed because of brexit and that therefore that might bea brexit and that therefore that might be a reason to look again at the commitment? well, the argument from some opponents

the home secretary amber rudd this. the home secretary amber rudd this morning talking about working with the social media companies. i don't know whether this will be some kind of voluntary agreement with how this will actually be able to be enforced... so many of these companies are based abroad. would they fall under uk jurisdiction? labour saying this is tough talk but meaningless because they cannot do anything about this. there is a scent that more needs to be done, social media companies need to have more responsibility. there are things in this package of protecting children from harmful content online. they are trying to tap into the sense that so many of us are using social media and we're putting so much out there that there needs to be more responsibility on the pa rt to be more responsibility on the part of the companies to protect and indeed what we're doing. us president donald trump has refused to confirm or deny whether the white house secretly records his telephone calls and meetings. yesterday the pre

amber rudd this morning expressed confidence in it. she says it has succeeded in the past year in stopping 150 people including 50 children from travelling to fight in syria. we are going to see some areas of political controversy in the aftermath of this atrocity. that is assistant political editor norman smith with the from westminster. let's get the latest on the casualties. we know thatis latest on the casualties. we know that is one of the 22 people killed 64 were ventured and 20 of those are ina 64 were ventured and 20 of those are in a critical condition. they are all being treated at a number of hospitals. eight hospitals in and around manchester. sophie long as the munster royal infirmary this morning. —— manchester. a sixth victim has now been named. a receptionist from blackpool in manchester. she worked at a school in manchester. she was also killed on monday evening. that list will continue to grow throughout the day. her namejoins her name joins saffie roussos who was just her name joins saffie roussos who wasjust eig

the home secretary amber rudd today talking about working with the social media companies. i don't know whether this will be a voluntary agreement but how this will be able to be enforced. many of these companies are based abroad. with the 400 uk jurisdiction? labour are saying this is tough talk but they can't do anything about this. but there's a sense that more needs to be done, social media companies need to more responsibility. there are things in this package of protecting children from harmful content online. i think they're trying to tap into the sense that because many of us are using social media and putting so much out there, there needs to be is more responsibility on the part of the companies to protect and delete what we were doing. thank you. the us president donald trump has refused to confirm or deny whether the white house secretly recorded telephone calls and meetings. yesterday he seems to imply to james comey that he could produce tapes of their conversation. the senior north korean diplomat has said that pyongyang is willing to hold talks with the us.

it is annoying and irritating, and i share amber rudd's 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 doesn't 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? her management team has sent out a statement saying how european tour is cancelled until june statement saying how european tour is cancelled untiljune five. those gigs at the 02 arena have been cancelle

amber rudd said earlier that he was likely to not have been. but police want to know where the bomb was made, if others we re where the bomb was made, if others were involved, and if they were, who they are will stop thank you very much. june kelly has confirmed that one of the men arrested in the last 24 hours is a brother of the suicide bomber. i can also tell you that a pr manager, martyn hett, he has been named, he died at the manchester arena with his friend stuart aspinall. his family were searching for him via social media. thank you for your company today. stay with bbc news throughout the day for more reaction from manchester. many of us have sunshine across the united kingdom, it will feel warm as well. temperatures up to 20 in the south—east of england. many of us enjoy the sunshine, such as this in cambridgeshire, not as sunny everywhere, look at the scene here. misty and murky conditions. that will continue across west and south wales across the coast of england as well. elsewhere, sunshine with cloud developing in the afternoon.

the home secretary amber rudd said lessons would have to be learned. we will have to wait and see whether these hospitals have backed up data, or whether some of them might even have to pay that ransom. we heard from a hospital in the states that was hit by a similar ransom attack last year. in the end, it paid something like £13,000, because it was the only way to get systems back—up and that took ten days before the it was back up and running fully. thanks. labour's deputy leader, tom watson, has urged voters to support their local labour mp to prevent the conservatives winning a "margaret thatcher—style landslide". speaking to the guardian, mr watson admitted that it would be very difficult to turn the poll numbers around, and that labour had a mountain to climb. our political correspondent leila nathoojoins us now from our london newsroom. take us through what tom watson, a significant figure in the labour party, has been saying. he is labour's deputy leader and has a morose assessment of labour's specs. this is a candid admission —— labou

amber rudd, theresa may the tory conference was a racist horse and pony show. this is why labour can't make progress. we can stop it. labour has to change one thing. in fourweeks? absolutely. it needs to talk about brexit. the one thing labour is doing wrong, yougov showed all party voters the number one issue for them is brexit. for most of them the number two issues is immigration. you are saying corbyn and mcdonnell should stop talk of nhs — they should reframe it what britain you want after brexit. when theresa may maded that speech the instinct of the labour machine was, don't talk about it, don't respond. it's about something we haven't really — an issue we don't own. they needed to own that issue. labour are deeply split on whether we should be leaving at all and exactly what kind of approach you should have. whether it's a free market or socialist approach? let me answer. today proves that any attempt to win back that part of the electorate that is pro—brexit is a fool's errand for labour. manchester, andy burnham won in almost every ward. manches

first, the home secretary, amber rudd, has said that all but a handful of nhs trusts are now back to normal after the global cyber attack which has disrupted health services in england and scotland. one of those trusts affected was in wigan. our correspondent judith moritz is there. at this hospital they have been affected to a certain extent but they worked quickly to shut down computers to make sure that the virus did not spread even further. that is something that you did first of all, isn't it? yesterday afternoon, when did you first noticed there was a problem? just after two o'clock we got our first notification of the ransom we re first notification of the ransom were appearing on one of systems. we closed down internal communications within minutes, meaning that the virus could not spread any further. we now know that reigned about 30 of out we now know that reigned about 30 of our desktops and laptops have been affected and about five of our systems, but for each of the systems that have been affected we have a workaround because we have a business continuity planning proces

this is what amber rudd said.|j whether he was on watch lists. this is what amber rudd said. i don't know those details. the intelligence services are still collecting information about him, and about the people around him, but i would not rush to conclusions as you seem to be that they have somehow missed something. i'm just saying that people had bones —— had phoned the terror hotline as they should do. the reason the phone line is in place is because we recognise the scale of the problem. this is an issue that has obviouslyjumped at the top of the election campaign issue. the conservatives today have been pushing their manifesto promises to address security with a new counter extremism commission. they say we are looking at a wide range of elements of extremism with a legal agreement to identify it. they have not explained quite how i would do that they say would have a focus on issues like the effects on women of extremism, they are keen to say that is something they are willing to commit to. labour likewise has been talking security today. reminding people that it is

amber rudd has been releasing some information about salman abedi. as you mentioned, she believes he has recently been to libya. one criticism uk security officials have had is the leaks coming out of the u.s. amber rudd said it was irritating that some of the first bits of information coming out of this attack were from the u.s. we had information from the french interior minister. he said to french television that the man of libyan origin, salman abedi, travelled to libya and then maybe syria. when he was asked how he nude abedi had been to syria, he said this was information that french and british intelligence services already had. asked if he was part of a potential network, the french interior minister said that is not known yet. but perhaps he had links with isis. islamic state has claimed responsibility for this attack. in the statement they put out yesterday, not a great deal of detail. a lot of people said that seemed to indicate potentially they did not have much involvement in the attack. here we have the french interior minister saying t

again, as amber rudd said, attacking some of the most vulnerable members of society. we don't have details yet on how many minors were among the 22 people killed, but in the coming hours, we're likely to hear some very terrible stories about young lives lost. yasmin? >> it makes it that much harder to know so many children were attending a concert for somebody they were set to enjoy the night with. nbc's matt bradley, thank you very much. it's important to note as well that political parties in the united kingdom have suspended kaeming today. they're about three weeks away from a critical important general election. also going to see if this has any impact on the candidates running for that general election. >>> wheer following the latest president trump's visit to the middle east. president trump was joined by palestinian leader mahmoud abbas. in addition to condemning the manchester terror attack, president trump discussed has hope for peace in the middle east. >> i would like to begin by offering my prayers to the people of manchester. and the united kingdom. i ext

amber rudd expressed this. photos are being leaked by the intelligence services in the united states. more about salman abedi,. he attended salford university although he didn't go to many lectures. he grew up didn't go to many lectures. he grew up in manchester and was a keen footballer. he was going back and forth the last few years to libya. the french government say he may also have been to syria. ed thomas has looked into his background. suicide bomber salman abedi, an extremist who attacked the city of his birth. now investigators surround his home. like everyone here, they want answers. this man knew abedi. he had watched him come and go from manchester to libya. now he can't believe what his neighbour did. unbelievably disgusting, to be honest. especially for a muslim. and a libyan as well. to us, obeying the law of the country is the most priority number one. that's what the prophet teaches us. some talk of erratic behaviour, of abedi chanting in the street. he was shouting in arabic. the bbc has been

we will speak to amber rudd here on breakfast after 8:30. we will keep you across all the developments. i will bring you up—to—date with other news. we're hearing news that five people have died in a collision on the m6 in staffordshire. the southbound carriageway between junction 15 for stoke—on—trent and 14 for stafford is closed. that is according to police in the last 30 minutes. we'll bring you more on that as we get it. a 37—year—old man has been arrested at stansted airport on suspicion of preparing for acts of terrorism. he was held before boarding a flight to turkey. officers are now searching two residential addresses in north london. scotland yard say the arrest was not linked to monday's manchester arena bombing. donald trump has arrived at the vatican this morning to meet pope francis as part of his first foreign tour as us president. this will be mr trump's first meeting with the pope. during last year's presidential election campaign, pope francis attacked mr trump's plans to build a wall along the mexican border s

the home secretary amber rudd defended how the crisis was handled. nobody ignored these warnings, we put aside £50 million specifically for cyber security for the nhs. the nhs itself, if you speak to the trust, you will find made a lot of good preparations just trust, you will find made a lot of good preparationsjust in trust, you will find made a lot of good preparations just in case. on the election campaign trail, jeremy corbyn has promised an extra 37 billion pounds for the nhs and shorter hospital waiting lists if labour wins power. meanwhile theresa may has promised the greatest expansion of workers' rights if the conservatives win onjune the 8th. in essex, police search a block of garages in an attempt to find the body of the schoolgirl daniellejones who was murdered 16 years ago. france's new president emmanuel macron visits germany to boost the relationship at the heart of the eu. a "second spike" in cyber—attacks has failed to hit the nhs but some hospital trusts are still suffering disruption due to friday's ransomware attack. routine s

the home secretary, amber rudd, said 45 different parts of the nhs had been affected. it's not yet clear whether patient safety has been compromised. the prime minister has insisted the government is giving the issue "its full attention". europol, the eu—wide law enforcement agency, described the cyber attack, which has struck in about 100 countries, as unprecedented in its scale. here's simonjones. a major incident declared at this hospital to ensure patient safety. saint bartholomew's in east london is part of the largest nhs trust in england. some ambulances are being diverted to neighbouring hospitals and there will be no outpatient appointments today. some treatment has been delayed. i was a bit worried, actually. they told us all this morning that the computers are down, someone is hacking them. i have got to stay in here, it is frustrating. it is after this message came up on countless computers across the nhs demanding a ransom to access files. i saw a patient yesterday and they had a severe stomach pain for ten days. we needed to obviously find out why he wa

the home secretary amber rudd says the conservatives would set up a commission to tackle terrorism and hate crime and promote british values if they win the general election. labour say they would put 10,000 police on the streets and match a conservative pledge of an extra 1,000 security experts. new cctv pictures of the manchester bomber salman abedi have been released. salman abedi, the man who massacred children in manchester, pictured on the night of the attack. but where had he been, who knew his plans and what happened when his friends alerted the security services about his extremism? questions for the home secretary. was salman abedi on a surveillance list? i don't know those details because the intelligence services are still collecting information about him and about the people around him. i wouldn't rush to conclusions, but you seem to be, that they missed something. people had phoned the terror hotline. as they should do. we will look to see what else we can do, the prime minister announced in our manifesto before this, there would be a commission for extremism. that commis

amber rudd and diane abbott have been speaking on the andrew marr show this morning. with me, matt cole. what have they been saying? amber rudd, home secretary, being asked a lot of questions about the man behind the manchester bombings, salman abedi. we understand he was highlighted to the authorities with a phone call to his mosque. questions of the home secretary about what happened after that. questions also about whether he was on watchlist will stop it is what she said. i don't know those details you have just said to me because the intelligence services are still collecting information about him and about the people around him, but i wouldn't rush to conclusions, as you seem wouldn't rush to conclusions, as you seem to be, but they have missed something. i am saying people had found the terror hotline. as they should do. the reason we have put the hotline in place is because we recognise the scale of the problem. this is an issue that has jumped recognise the scale of the problem. this is an issue that hasjumped up to the top of the election campaign, the conse

the home secretary, amber rudd, said 45 different parts of the nhs had been affected. it's not yet clear whether patient safety has been compromised. the prime minister has insisted the government is giving the issue "its full attention". europol, the eu—wide law enforcement agency, described the cyber attack, which has struck in about 100 countries, as unprecedented in its scale. here's simonjones. a major incident declared at this hospital to ensure patient safety. saint bartholomew's in east london is part of the largest nhs trust in england. some ambulances are being diverted to neighbouring hospitals, and there will be no outpatient appointments today. some treatment has been delayed. i was a bit worried, actually. they told us all this morning that the computers are down, someone is hacking them. i have got to stay in here, it is frustrating. it is after this message came up on countless computers across the nhs demanding a ransom to access files. the disruption to the nhs is part of a global situation. cyber attacks are at an unprecedented level, according to

amber rudd said today, essentially, refusing to allow us to imagine that the commitment to the tens of thousands would be the commitment in the tory manifesto. she said, we're having a new ma nifesto she said, we're having a new manifesto that will not be identical to the last one. some quite political language being used here. but, certainly, it is a clear dodging of what has up to now been a strong commitment from the conservative party. my personal view, she said, is that we need to bring immigration down. but because we are leaving the eu, we need to ta ke we are leaving the eu, we need to take a look at it again. so this suggestion that from the time the previous manifesto has changed, after leaving the eu, there is an opportunity to say, this number, which experts said were unrealistic, you could never meet it, and we are way off it, maybe it is the chance to say, actually, the eu changes things. that would be the case they would make. think so, but probably theresa may will be careful not to use this as an opportunity to be seen to not be strong on immigration. we have had a pre

theresa may and amber rudd meeting with greater manchester police earlier on today but also a big part of those discussions would have focused on the current threat level which stands on severe 3s the current threat level which stands on severe as things are and theresa may when she spoke in downing street earlier on said it would be continuously assessed and monitored through coming days and weeks. that also would have been the subject of discussions at the emergency committee meeting. we know it finished some time ago because the foreign secretary borisjohnson was seen the foreign secretary borisjohnson was seen to leave downing street in a pretty sombre mood and we know the defence secretary michael fallon also left the meeting so we are currently waiting to hear what was discussed and an update on things we are expecting fairly soon. what can you tell us about the election campaign? 0bviously you tell us about the election campaign? obviously there will be you would expect in the coming days some talk of resuming the campaign perhaps more vigorously than before to show that democra

what has been most interesting today has been the interview amber rudd gave this lunchtime. the home secretary was asked, surprisingly, read immigration and what you might do about it. it was interesting because so much has been made in the e referendum campaign, so much made before that with the conservative party commitment to cut immigration to the tens of thousands. made when david cameron was leader and theresa may was home secretary. it is an issue close to the heart of theresa may. we know that from the things she has said as prime minister. interestingly, amber rudd essentially refused to allow us to imagine that that limits to the tens of thousands would be the wording in the tory manifesto. she said, we have a manifesto that will not be identical to the last one. some quite political language being used here but certainly dodging, effectively, what has been a strong commitment from the conservative party. a personal view, she said, is that we need to bring immigration down. because we are leaving the eu, we need to take a look at it again. so from the time that man

the home secretary, amber rudd, says that around 45 trusts and some surgeries in england and scotland had been affected. the prime minister, theresa may, said the incident was not an attack on the nhs, but part of a wider problem affecting up to 100 countries. work to restore nhs computer systems will continue throughout the weekend, as our correspondent richard slee reports. this was the message that popped up on countless computers across the nhs. it says the system is locked. and no files can be accessed until they ransom is paid. the cyber attack had an immediate effect on patient services. this man's heart operation in london was cancelled. i was all cannulaed up. i've been shaved down the front because they were going to open me up. my arms have been shaved. i was ready to go, nil by mouth. as well as hospitals in england, about half of the health boards in scotland have been affected in some way. but there have been no cyber attacks on health services in wales or northern ireland. one theory is that the nhs may have been vulnerable because it was using old computer systems that

we have heard from the home secretary amber rudd, who has said don't jump to home secretary amber rudd, who has said don'tjump to conclusions, let's not instantly think the security service did something wrong here, let's be patient and wait for those answers. rightly said, this investigation, very much still ongoing across the country now. thank you very much. we will keep across those events in pilsworth near bury as well, for you. emergency services have been called to what they have described as a "serious incident" at hamerton zoo park in cambridgeshire visitors have been evacuated — and an air ambulance is at the scene of the 25—acre wildlife park near huntingdon. the zoo is home to 500 animals, including a collection of malaysian and white tigers. on the line, is our correspondent, ben aneo, who is at hamerton zoo for us. what can you tell us? about 11:15am the police were called and the air ambulance was dispatched and arrived here. people online tweeted photographs showing it arriving, people visiting the zoo park at the time ona people visiting the zoo park at the time on

it will be chaired by home secretary amber rudd. also expected to be in attendance as the health secretary, jeremy hunt, and also senior nhs figures and some cyber security experts. the aim of this meeting is to try to clarify exactly what happened during this cyber who and what was affected, and perhaps most importantly, what is being done now to try to repair the damage, and thoughts are now turning to who was responsible for this cyber attack. there has been some criticism on behalf of the government and the nhs of their computer operating systems not being up to date. not enough was done to defend the nhs from this sort of attack, but in the last hour 01’ sort of attack, but in the last hour orso, sort of attack, but in the last hour or so, jeremy corbyn, the labour leader, has made this comment. what we've now got is a bunch of 21st century highway robbers that have hacked into our nhs and are basically offering protection money to get the information back in order to treat cancer patients or anybody else. it's unbelievably d

amber rudd, the home secretary. we will talk about this in further detail. we have new information coming out from microsoft and their suggested updates. we have got a technology expert in the studio in the next hour. here's helen with a look at this morning's weather. good morning, this is a lovely shot that has been sent in from plymouth. blue skies. we don't have blue skies by everyone, we have quite a bit of cloud around and it is likely to stick around in eastern scotland. this is the view from aberdeen. there is some sunshine. plenty of cloud further west. coming into northern ireland, north—west england and northern wales and south—west scotland, this is all close to the area of low pressure. the low pressure is just moving area of low pressure. the low pressure isjust moving north. the rain will clear away from northern ireland in the afternoon but at the moment it isjust ireland in the afternoon but at the moment it is just across the south west areas. it will be turning damp, northern ireland. as you can see from the pictures, we have sunshine

the home secretary, amber rudd, very clear that was not helpful. she reiterated that was not helpful. she reiterated that again after the cobra emergency meeting today, but i think certainly we are still seeing bits and pieces coming out in the us media from american sources and that certainly won't leave the government best pleased. thank you very much indeed. bbc‘s question time will be coming from manchester tomorrow night to reflect on the attack and if you would like tojoin the studio on the attack and if you would like to join the studio audience for that programme, you can apply via the programme, you can apply via the programme website. lots to discuss, of course, politically and about the security in manchester and around the country at the moment. so that's question time if you want to take part in that. let's talk about salman abedi. 22 years old and born in manchester, went to school in manchester. enrolled recently from salford university, but didn't attend many classes at salford university. there is speculation that he was in libya

the conservatives will be represented by home secretary amber rudd. the lib dem tim farron, ukip‘s paul nuttall, snp‘s angus robertson, the greens‘ caroline lucas, and plaid cymru's leanne wood will also be taking part. the stakes are high because tonight's debate takes place amid suggestions in some opinion polls that the conservative lead over labour might be shrinking. our political correspondent gary o'donoghue reports. four weeksjeremy four weeks jeremy corbyn four weeksjeremy corbyn insisted if she's not going then neither are my butt today growing in confidence, camea u—turn butt today growing in confidence, came a u—turn and we will see the labour leader driving to cambridge tonight tojoin labour leader driving to cambridge tonight to join the debate. add campaigning in redding, he threw down a gauntlet to the prime minister. there is a debate in cambridge tonight, i do not know what she's doing this evening but it is not far from london and what she's doing this evening but it is not farfrom london and i invite her to go to cambridg

amber rudd has been quite critical of the americans today. a lot of the information about salman abedi came from unnamed american officials. i suppose that is the nature of investigations like that these days. does it now become an international effort? tested includes libya and people from outside the country, does it naturally bring in other intelligence agencies?” does it naturally bring in other intelligence agencies? i would struggle to think of pretty much any terrorist plots, any major plot that we have had in the uk in the last 15 or16 we have had in the uk in the last 15 or 16 years, that has not had an international dimension to it. and the 2000s, international dimension to it. and the 20005, it international dimension to it. and the 2000s, it was the connection to pakistan. they would call in help from the pakistani intelligence service. in this case, i'm sure that mi6, britain's secret intelligence service, will be speaking to whoever they can find and libya. but let's not forget that libya is a failed state these days. it has m

the home secretary, amber rudd, said it was not the time to make political points. our political editor laura kuenssberg reports. manchester on everyone's minds. but ukip's manifesto was hardly a quiet affair. the party accusing theresa may of playing a part in creating the circumstances that led to monday's attack. the prime minister has during her time in high office of the site —— presided over cuts to oui’ of the site —— presided over cuts to our police service and reductions in oui’ our police service and reductions in our armed forces to. it is also a dereliction of duty to allowjihadis to return to this country. is promising thousands of extra police and border guards. his supporters jeered reporters questioning the pa rty‘s jeered reporters questioning the party's claims. it sounds like you are almost blaming the prime minister that this attack, the circumstances that led to it. shouting. as for blaming her personally, i'm not doing that, absolutely not, but i'm saying the politicians in this country are too cowardly to face up to what the issu

amber rudd apparently refusing to guarantee that a previous tory commitment made by david cameron of bringing net migration down below 100,000, so, in the tens of thousands, a commitment that the cameron government had made, there is no guarantee as yet that this is going to be in the tory manifesto, when we get it, hopefully, in the coming weeks. amber rudd was saying, our manifesto is not going to be identical to the last one, but we do want to continue to bring immigration down. everyone is wondering, will it be a commitment, will it be a pledge, will it be an aim? will we get some figures and another commitment on immigration? will we get that commitment from the tories? interesting in the interview that she appeared to be suggesting that circumstances had changed because of brexit and that therefore that might be a reason to look again at the commitment? well, the argument from some opponents of brexit has been that we rely a lot on skilled workers, workers coming into britain from the eu. if we are going to be stopping those workers from coming freely into britain, as theresa m

so 50 it will be the home secretary amber so it will be the home secretary amber rudd standing in for prime minister tonight. this is the only seven way debate during the whole campaign. that means all the main parties will be represented here. the only occasion that will happen. tim farron will be here for the lib dems, jeremy corbyn, as we've been talking about, caroline lucas, co—leader of the greens, leanne wood, of plaid cymru, paul nuttall and angus robertson, as well as amber rudd. the audience will be around 130—135 people, picked to represent a ci’oss around 130—135 people, picked to represent a cross section of society across the uk. equally split between remain as magath and brexiteers following the referendum. and they have been drawing lots among the panellists as to who will be giving the opening remarks and closing remarks. that is all they know at the moment. they have no idea what the moment. they have no idea what the questions will be that we'll be coming from the audience. it should be an interesting and lively affair and perhaps given an added bit of spice

amber rudd this morning said she was a bit irritated, very british, irritated that the americans named a suspect before the british police we re suspect before the british police were ready to do so. and now there are pictures from the police investigation. nobody has denied the from that. quite distressing pictures, you can see blood and the detail. theresa may will be seeing president trump at the nato summit in brussels tomorrow and as journalists and as british people we would love to see a huge bust up over this. we don't seem to be blooming trump himself but if they are supposed to be our best friend they have a funny way of showing it. it's extraordinary, unprecedented, that a serious investigation should be compromised by a leak from the american intelligence, law enforcement agencies which is clearly what has happened. i don't think you can exaggerate the degree of puree there will be in downing street and scotland yard that this has happened. at every single level, and it will be from theresa may, to the president, at every level they will be making it absolutely clear this p

the government's emergency committee cobra has been meeting, chaired by the home secretary amber rudd. here's our health editor, hugh pym. the news shocked staff and patients alike. the cyber attack shut down key systems. ron grimshaw won't forget it in a hurry. he was in the middle of having an mri scan but it was abruptly halted and he will have to go back another day. i was stunned, obviously stunned, and the nurse said this is the first time this has happened. i was thinking, why me? there we are. health secretaryjeremy hunt was at a meeting of the emergency cobra committee along with the home secretary, who denied there were weaknesses in nhs systems. i don't believe it is to do with being prepared. there is always more we can all do to make sure we are secure against viruses but i think there had already been good preparations in place by the nhs to make sure that they were ready for this sort of attack. in england, hospital and ambulance services have been affected at 48 nhs trusts along with some gp practices. in scotland, 11 out 01:14 health boards have felt the impact, inclu

rudd, both of whom we re secretary amber rudd, both of whom were given a briefing about our ongoing operation, and the investigation overtoday and the next few days. ican few days. 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, and i wouldn't wish to therefore comment any further about him at this stage. 0ur priority, along with the police counter tourist network and our security partner, is to continue to establish where whether he was accusing alone or working as part of accusing alone or working as part of a wider network. that is very much part of the investigation, was he working alone or part of a wired network? it is a different attack to the one that we had on westminster bridge, that of course a crude attack using a car as a weapon. this one an explosive device and we are not had a terrorist attack like this since the terrorist attack like this since the terror attack in london onjuly 7th 2005. it is more more sophisticated. not overly sophisticated becau

also, the prime minister chose amber rudd and she kept on the person who is running the nhs as well. she is responsible to us, we need to hear from her. it is the most extraordinary story, that this by found the domain name which controlled all of this installed in the system by the hackers, so that they could stop the hacking. amazing that they found it. it is barely believable. again, that's why theresa may needs to say something to us. let's look at the sunday times on this story. it is therefore you onjuju, if you want times on this story. it is therefore you on juju, if you want to learn how to develop one somewhere. this is the kind of video which youtube can get into bother about, isn't it? if the sunday times can find it, why could you chew not find it? ? presumably quite easily. with a leak toa presumably quite easily. with a leak to a site where it can be bought for $20. there is an old mathematical axioms which says that no system can be both consistent and complete. so, the minute that you make something like this, there is the key to breaking it down. i have to go back t

any minute now, we will have the labels, but first, amber rudd has said that all but a handful of nhs trust back to normal after the global cyber attack which has health services in england and scotland. 0ne attack which has health services in england and scotland. one of those trusts affected was wigan. we got this correspondence. they will quite quick to shout though computers use the virus would not spread even further. andrew foster is with me now. that is something that you‘d did first of all, isn‘t it? take me back to when he first noticed there was a problem. that is right. he wasjust before 2pm that we got our first notification of the ransomware appearing on one of ouririiii as down internal meant minutes. this meant that the virus not spread any further. we could not spread any further. we could not spread any further. we could not spread any further. we could not get any more attacks in, and he could be spread elsewhere. we 110w and he could be spread elsewhere. we now know that around about 30 of our d es kto ps now know that around about 30 of our desktops and laptops

the current home secretary, amber rudd, said it was not the time to make political points. our political editor laura kuenssberg reports. manchester on everyone's minds, but ukip‘s manifesto was hardly a quiet affair. the party accusing theresa may of playing a part in creating the circumstances that led to monday's attack. the prime minister has, during her time in high office, presided over cuts to our police service and reductions in our armed forces too. it is also a dereliction of duty to allowjihadis to return to this country. he's promising thousands of extra police, soldiers and border guards. his supportersjeered reporters questioning the party's claims. ask a sensible question! it sounds like you are near as dammit blaming the prime minister for this attack and the circumstances that led to it. don't you understand english? stupid question! i am not blaming her, what i'm saying is the politicians in this country are too cowardly at the moment to face up to the real issue. yet the deputy chair did say theresa may must bear some responsibility. i think all politic

the home secretary amber rudd, reaffirmed that the conservatives would set up a commission to promote british values and tackle extremism, while labour wants to recruit 1,000 security experts in addition to 10,000 extra police. here's our political correspondent alex forsyth. in the aftermath of such an atrocity, inevitable questions about how to stop something like this happening again. the actions of this man, salman abedi, forced a pause in the election campaign. now preventing others like him is part of the debate. the home secretary said today the government had for the first time used powers to prevent suspected terrorists returning freely to the uk. 0n the manchester attack, she said police and security services were working at full tilt. with questions about who knew what and when, she was asked about reports that friends and community leaders had raised concerns about the man behind it. was salman abedi on a surveillance list? i don't know those details that you have set out to me because the intelligence services are still collecting information about him and the people arou

i know amber rudd was saying over the weekend, we told just to do this and weekend, we told just to do this and we set money aside. it comes against a backdrop of catastrophic it failures by nhs. 0nly a backdrop of catastrophic it failures by nhs. only a few years ago they scrapped that scheme to digitise everything that cost the taxpayer £10 billion. it seems that anything they touch with regards to it turns to rot. equally i think people are quite sympathetic with the actual front line staff that had to deal with this, and also probably people look at their own behaviour with their own cyber security reflect that actually will probably not all as digital gent as we could be. but we run nhs trusts. -- not as diligent as we could be. some of these trusts apparently, i was talking to a cyber expert tonight, they have been encouraged to update their systems for several years also have refused to do so because they are used to the system may have and it works for them. this is the point. if governments are not telling the these trusts the risks that they are running. let me declare an in
