andy burnham, 24,000... cheering and applause . going andy burnham's way. i think we have reached oldham or rochdale in the greater manchester declaration, so not many to go. let's stay on that for a second, because i am wondering if we can bring in karen quicklyjust to a nswer bring in karen quicklyjust to answer the point about this being a platform for a labour politician might andy burnham to show what labour might do if it were in power. and in that sense, it is creating a power base for one of your opponents, which you might think down the cause, might be less than helpful? we have been clear we want to see strong devolution and to see strong, local and regional government. i think what this election the show, throughout the course of the afternoon there has been an assumption on the 8th of june this will be a walk in the park for the conservatives. clearly, there are votes for labour and there are people who will vote for labour and they will vote for parties other than the conservatives. it comes back to the clear choice people will have on the 8th

where's andy burnham ? the leader arrived tonight to celebrate that manchester victory, but the actual winner, andy burnham, was nowhere to be seen. jeremy corbyn has inspired, but there is a huge question mark. can this kind of support for translate to the whole country? crowd: yes, we can! 0ne senior labour figure told me the results were catastrophic, but the leader will hardly admit that. we've had very disappointing results in other parts of the country. yes, we have to go out there in the next four weeks and get a message out. yet, with only weeks till the general election, candidates who want to stay on as labour mps are already pointing the finger. it's a pretty disastrous picture. it's simply not good enough, for a party that's been in opposition for seven years, that's heading towards a general election in five weeks, to not be picking up seats and not making forward progress. a symbol of the party's decline, a totem, labour lost control of glasgow's city chambers to the snp. they failed to win th

i have got to dispel this myth that there is a rift between jeremy corbyn and andy burnham. there isn't. they are quite good friends. andy actually served in the shadow cabinet forjeremy corbyn right up until the time where he decided to seek nominations for the mayoral contest in the northwest. that isn't a rift. there is no way there is a rift betweenjeremy corbyn and andy burnham. that is simply not true. the liberal democrats are promising to increase funding for the nhs and social care by raising the income tax rate by a penny—in—the—pound. their health spokesman, norman lamb, said the policy would allow six—billion pounds of extra spending on the health service each year and marked a clear difference between the lib dems and the conservatives. party leader tim farren... party leader tim farren. .. the liberal democrats have been at this medical centre behind me lodging their flagship medical centre behind me lodging theirflagship policy on medical centre behind me lodging their flagship policy on the nhs promising to raising come tax, all income tax bands, in o

along with the mayor of manchester andy burnham. there is return you to oui’ andy burnham. there is return you to our top story. the problems of british airways. we've had a statement now as andy moore was saying from british airways. they are not doing interviews of any kind at the moment, but they are putting out video statements on their twitter feed every so often. this one is from alex cruise the chief executive who is now saying that passengers are not being admitted to terminal five at heathrow. that is the big purpose built state—of—the—art turn, terminal. they are not being allowed into the terminal before 90 minutes before their schedule is due to depart. is a very short statement. it is not sure whether that is overcrowding, safety, we heard that there were some chanting in terminal three. maybe people have become a bit bolshie about the difficulties that. it could be that they have taken a decision for another reason, but people are stuck outside terminal five until 90 minutes before the flight five until 90 minutes before the flight is scheduled to depar

i have got to dispel this myth that there is a rift between jeremy corbyn and andy burnham. there isn't. they are quite good friends. and they actually served in the shadow cabinet forjeremy corbyn right up until the time where he decided to seek nominations for the mayoral contest in the northwest. that isn't a rift. there is no way there is a rift betweenjeremy corbyn and andy burnham. that is simply not true. earlier i spoke to our political correspondent. i asked earlier i spoke to our political correspondent. iasked him earlier i spoke to our political correspondent. i asked him with the general election fewer than five weeks away, what does this paint on the uk be little scene? it has drawn up the uk be little scene? it has drawn up some interesting results. not least that west midlands metro mayor, a crucial battle ground area, the west midlands full stops in tate sees labour would have opened to have taken. quite a blow not do. interesting we will see the big party leaders in their broader region today trying to capitalise and boost their support. we must be careful

thank you, andy burnham, the mayor of greater manchester with his thoughts. earlier this evening, several thousand people came together in albert square — outside the town hall — to attend a vigil, where they heard expressions of pride in the city's strength of character, its diversity and resilience. i spoke to some of the people who were there. bells ring. this city is greater than the forces that align itself against it. and as we say that, we're sending a signal notjust to manchester, but across the world. i felt compelled to come. i'm manchester born and bred. this is my city. i live here, my children have been born here. and with such an atrocious act that happened last night, with so many young people. why was it important for you to be here? it's important to me because, like mum said, i was born in manchester and i know people who were at the concert. i find it very upsetting that somebody would just walk into a place and kill themselves, along with other people, and it's very, very upsetting. you cannot defeat us because love, in the end, is alw

ito the mayor of manchester, andy burnham, and he set upa of manchester, andy burnham, and he set up a strong statement saying exactly that. he also thanked cities around the world that said the solidarity to manchester today as do myself. your message to the families of those affected? i am terribly sorry and sad for you. you can be nothing worse than losing a child in a situation like this. we have to put our arms around them and support them, notjust put our arms around them and support them, not just today, put our arms around them and support them, notjust today, but in a difficult days to come because, like this does not go in a day or two. it is they with them for the rest of their lives. we have to give them all the support we possibly can. and also to make sure that we live in a safe environment in the future and we live in safety together. but that we live in safety together. but that we do not allow our communities to be divided by this kind of polling, atrocious act of violence. and this was the reaction from near andy burnham a little earlier today. we want greater manch

the result here in manchester electing andy burnham was stupendous. fantastic majority, fantastic campaign. that happens when our party comes together and gets the message out there together. thank you, each and every one of you. i've been in touch with andy, to congratulate him, and he's already hard at work looking after the people of the greatest manchester region. i've known him for many more years than the two at the table. he is the one that stood up the table. he is the one that stood up on hillsborough and demanded justice. the results have been mixed for the liberal democrats. but the party leader tim farron insisted the results were good news. increasing our vote share by 7%, are best for seven years. there will be increased the tories have experience in terms of vote share around the country, with the labour party utterly imploding and devastated. devastated like no other opposition party in recent memory. as another lesson from that is apart from the liberal democrats' revival and success liberal democrats' revival and success around the c

winner, andy burnham, was nowhere to be seen. jeremy corbyn has inspired, but there is a huge question mark. can this kind of support for translate to the whole country? crowd chant: yes, we can! 0ne senior labour figure told me the results were catastrophic, but the leader will hardly admit that. we've had very disappointing results in other parts of the country. yes, we have to go out there in the next four weeks and get a message out. yet, with only weeks till the general election, candidates who want to stay on as labour mps are already pointing the finger. it's a pretty disastrous picture. it's simply not good enough, for a party that's been in opposition for seven years, that's heading towards a general election in five weeks, to not be picking up seats and not making forward progress. a symbol of the party's decline, a totem, labour lost control of glasgow's city chambers to the snp. they failed to win there outright, but they're the biggest party by far. yet the emerging pattern in scotland, a tory comeback. this is a cle

andy burnham is not a member. he is diplomatic. he criticises whoever the party leader is buying time. jeremy corbyn has not taken to the stage but i am told that glenys be speaking first as a warm up act for jeremy corbyn. i have been speaking to people here about how they can turn fortunes around after the election results. the most common and there was for the media to be less biased, for people to see more ofjeremy corbyn, to see more of the person he is. some have told me, for example, we do not have a hope of winning the next general election so what we have to do is make sure we have a base from which to recover. many here are loyal to his leadership and the message is we should keep calm and carry on. he said himself this morning that this was an historic challenge to ove 1120 m e was an historic challenge to overcome labour‘s existing position in order to win the next general election, there was a mountain to climb. 0ne election, there was a mountain to climb. one can see the attraction of painting yourself as the underd

we will be getting a further statement from andy burnham at around 7:30am this morning. we will be live with louise at the scene in a moment, but first let's tell you exactly what we know so far. thousands of people were at the manchester arena to see the american singer ariana grande when an explosion was reported at 10:35pm. witnesses said she had just finished her performance when it happened. british transport police said the explosion was in the venue's foyer. shortly after the blast, manchester victoria station, which is close to the concert venue, was closed, and all trains cancelled. just after 1:00am, greater manchester police released a statement saying 19 people had been confirmed dead, with more than 50 others injured. those of you that have been to the manchester arena will know that it is right in the heart of the city centre, and that is where louise is for us this morning. good morning to you. let me tell you exactly where we are this morning. this is the police cordon, which is as close as you can get to the manchester arena. if you see in the far distan

andy burnham is barely two weeks into this job as granite -- andy burnham was buried two two weeks into this job as granite —— andy burnham was buried two weeks into this newjob as greater manchester's new mayor. his team tell me he is utterly delighted with the response of these teams. we saw 400 police officers turn up and we have had about 60 ambulances taking patients to eight hospitals around the region, nurses turning up to work on their days off and actually being turned away. so far he said he is delighted with those teams that are now under his remit for the first time. and igas on a day like this: is everything, isn't it? absolutely. we have never had a map of greater manchester and this was his opportunity to step up in that role and show leadership, which he did. he talked about it —— we have talked about manchester's resilience tonight, and about the pride. throughout his mayoral campaign that was something that he talked about, the massacre, the suffragettes. there is that history and that strength. the challenge now, of course, is where does he go from here. he ne

greater manchester's mayor, andy burnham, has also complained strongly. i made my concerns known to the us ambassador. it is not acceptable to me. there is a live investigation taking place here. we cannot have information in the public domain not in direct control of the british police and security services. earlier i spoke to our correspondent david willis for the latest. the fact this was carried out by a suicide bomber and indeed the identity of the perpetrator, both being released here in the united states before they were released in the uk, causing a lot of concern. the home secretary, amber rudd, saying it was very irritating and it should not be allowed to happen again. whereupon the new york times published pictures of the crime scene featuring a rather charred remain of the backpack of the suicide bomber. the british government is livid and counterintelligence said these partnerships around the world had helped deter these attacks in the past. they went on to say this: so, they are clearly angry in the uk and there is a feeling that this could

i declare that andy burnham is duly elected as mayor... old faces, but new mayors in manchester and liverpool gave labour something to cheer. but what's this? the leader arrived tonight to celebrate that manchester victory. but the actual winner, andy burnham, was nowhere to be seen. jeremy corbyn has inspired, but there is a huge question mark. can this kind of support for translate to the whole country? one senior labour figure told me the results were catastrophic. but the leader will hardly admit that. we've had very disappointing results in other parts of the country. yes, we have to go out there in the next four weeks and get a message out. yet with only weeks until the general election, candidates who want to stay on as labour mps are already pointing the finger. it's a pretty disastrous picture. it's simply not good enough for a party that's been in opposition for seven years, and heading towards a general election in five weeks. to not be picking up seats and not making forward progress. a symbol of the party's decline. a totem. l

both myself and andy burnham have made public state m e nts and andy burnham have made public statements just a couple of weeks ago about bringing our two great cities together and of course, there is rivalry, that's existed for a long, long time, when you get beneath of the veneer of rivalry, there is a lot that we have that is similar in both city regions and today, i know it has been said, but we're all mancunians, aren't we? and our hearts and prayers go out to the people of manchester and of course, we'll stand shoulder—to—shoulder with them and we will offer them any support that we can possibly provide to that great city. steve rotherham, metro mayor of liverpool, thank you very much indeed for being with us. let me ask you one more question, do you think that there needs to be enhanced, beefed—up security, at venues like this at the manchester arena where there are concerts, there will be lots of young people going to all sorts of concerts and festivals this summer, football matches, like the fa cup final, we're hearing scotland yard are putting more armed police there, but

andy burnham. we have reported on this last month, when we reported on this last month, when we reported about how many people were still affected, still finding out, still affected, still finding out, still discovering new information. at how big a scandal do you believe this is? i think it is a scandal on a momentous scale, victoria, honestly i do. i mean, thousands and thousands of people affected, not just directly, but their families too, suffering in silence over decades, forced to beg for scraps of financial help from the government, but never being given the truth about what happened, and why it happened. you know, really left in the darkest of wildernesses over many, many years. and there has been lots of well— meaning many, many years. and there has been lots of well—meaning mps who have tried to help, but nobody has really moved it forward, because, as we saw with hillsborough, unless you start with hillsborough, unless you start with the truth, tell people the truth about what happe

with me is the mayor of greater manchester, newly elected, andy burnham. we are thinking about eve ryo ne burnham. we are thinking about everyone affected today. yes, we are. this is a city pretty numb right now, raw with grief. but going about its business, and that is the mancunian spirit. people don't give in or back down to terror of this kind. as they did 20 years ago after the ira bomb, people are out again tonight and that is the true spirit of greater manchester. what are the city's police force and other agencies telling you as mayor today? what is the latest you can share with our viewers? there is a limit to what i can say because the police investigation is ongoing. however, i would say that this was an act of extremism. it doesn't represent any religion. it doesn't represent any community and it certainly doesn't represent greater manchester. the spirit of greater manchester was those people throwing their doors open last night at that moment of maximum panic, welcoming people in, driving people away from danger. that is the spirit of this pla

manchester, andy burnham won in almost every ward. manchester is full of tories. plenty of tories, skilled workers and middle—class people. appealing to the inner soul of progress i politics appealing to the inner soul of progressive politics burnham did well. he walked away from jeremy corbyn tonight. they want a traditional, simple message. that that is what he said. patriotism, hard work, law and order. is that where the labour vote is? no. i don't buy that. you called part of the tory vote rayses. you called part of the tory vote racist. i'm sorry. amber rudd and theresa may at their conference wanted us to make list of foreign workers. they were your voters before they went to ukip and the tories. the labour movement. the labour party is a line drawn through working—class communities, between people who support globalism and internationalism and anti—racism and people who don't. it always existed. we will fight this battle in favour of our principles. the problem is - the challenge - and the greens and the snp should be on the same side. if you have got

andy burnham has said, theresa may is right, he supports the move of raising the level to good god. it's about stopping people panicking. getting into this building tonight there was an extra barrier had not seen before. i was at first denied because i did not have a pass, then thought that a good thing, it's reassuring to see that people are really taking it seriously and they are worried about oui’ seriously and they are worried about our safety. that is very reassuring. i think the security services and the police in the terrible days following this appalling incident have really stepped up. they are reassuring people by their presence. i know there are sometimes sinister overtones about having armed police oi'i overtones about having armed police on the streets but this is the moment and the levels are critical, you really want that. daily mail talking about a bank holiday ring of steel, saying they are mine people being held in connection with the bomber network. security services saying, bear with us. you are going to have to be subject to extra security checks. but you can

jeremy corbyn headed to manchester this afternoon to celebrate andy burnham victory, but the new mayor, well, he was otherwise engaged. on this historic day we decided to take a look at the five lessons we've learnt from today. the people of britain have spoken. the political ground has shifted and britain is on course for a realignment in next month's general election. butjust what have we learnt from the multitude of elections across great britain? crowing by ministers has been banned by number ten. they have little doubt that theresa may's decision to call an early general election will pay off. strange to think thatjust a few weeks ago some ministers were wondering whether her gamble was really that wise. now, ministers are drawing parallels with margaret thatcher's landslide victories in 1983 and 1987. she triggered those contests a few days after success in the local elections. theresa may had no such luxury. she had to go earlier because ministers felt there was a short window before the brexit negotiations are properly under way. theresa may's two core messages at the launch of

burnham also expressed his firm disapproval of the lea ks. it worries me greatly and in fact i made no move my concerns about it to the us ambassador —— made known. it's not acceptable to me. here there's a live investigation taking place and we cannot have information being put in the public domain that's not in the direct control of the british police and security services. key to the investigation is building up as clear a picture as possible of the bomber, salman abedi. he was born in britain to libyan parents who'd fled their country. we know he went to school in manchester but dropped out of university in salford. we also know abedi had travelled to libya, returning just days before the attack. our special correspondent ed thomas reports now on the bomber, his background and what may have motivated him. 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. n

the new mayor of greater manchester, andy burnham, campaign to scrap prevent, claiming it was toxic. he now oversees the strategy across the region but today refused to discuss it, saying it was not the time. this muslim mother has no such qualms. she has written about extremism and thinks the current policies are not being properly explained. prevent has a branding problem. absolutely. iama has a branding problem. absolutely. i am a supporter of it. i am critical of it full stop it has flaws. how can anybody with a sane mind and intellect be against that? politicians reference prevent as how they are working with the muslim community. others, as proof of their toughness in targeting islamic extremism. such mixed messages may be the policy's eight is challenged. all this is happening in the middle ofan all this is happening in the middle of an election. our political correspondent ben wright is in westminster, when will election campaigning start ain? when will election campaigning start again? hours after the attack, and ate all the political parties suspended their campaigns. there

greater manchester's mayor, andy burnham, has also complained strongly. and, infact, i have made known my concerns about it to the us ambassador. it is not acceptable to me that here there is a live investigation taking place and we cannot have information being put put in the public domain that is not in direct control of the british police and security services. the british prime minister is expected to raise concerns over the intelligence lea ks, when she meets president trump at the nato summit in brussels later. our correspondent david willis has more from washington. the fact that this was carried out bya the fact that this was carried out by a suicide bomber and indeed the identity both released here in the us before they were released in the uk causing a lot of concern and the home secretary amber rudd saying it was very irritating and it should not be allowed to happen whereupon the new york times published pictures of the crime scene, including the rather charred remains of the killer's backpack. british officials are livid and the british counterintelligence issued a stateme

andy burnham, the former cabinet minister, will become the first directly elected mayor of the greater manchester reason dell might region. what's interesting in manchester and two and less extent with the other mayoral comtesse is the amount of power that the mayors will have. it is a big shakeup in the whole political landscape in england. while there will be a vast amount of speculation and extrapolation overnight and during tomorrow in terms of what the results may or may not mean for the general election, speculation is the mistaken trade of people like me, we should remember these are elections to councils and mayoralties that matter in another themselves. inevitably the parties will look for signs of what might be coming down the track on the eighth ofjune? signs of what might be coming down the track on the eighth ofjune? of course that will happen as well, not least because you hear the mantra during election campaigns that the only poll that matters is the poll only poll that matters is the poll on polling day and less not put much weight on opinion polls. what we will have t

the mayor of greater manchester, andy burnham was among the runners taking part in the race. he explained why organisers were so determined that it should take place. we did think very carefully about it. always, we wanted to do it. we wanted to send the message out that you are not going to beat us. you are not going to change us. you will not stop as doing what we want to do and live the life we want to live. that is what we were trying to do all week. that is the message we have got all week. for the latest from the ongoing investigation our correspondent clare fallon is at greater manchester police headquarters. clare, at what we know about the state of the investigation at this stage? there does seem to be an unfolding situation in the moss side area. armed police are out there in area. armed police are out there in a particular area and they have carried out another raid. that situation is ongoing right now. in the last few moments, we have had a brief statement from manchester police. they say officers investigating the attack at manchester arena have executed a warran

andy burnham had a brilliant victory in greater manchester yesterday. he spoke last week of how alienating people are from the political system. he said, we can't just from the political system. he said, we can'tjust carry on doing what we are doing. the time has come to do something different. he is right. 0ur westminster system is broken and our economy is wreaked. both are run in the interests of the few good things can and must be different. —— of the few. labour is under attack. because we are standing up to elites who determined to hijack. hijack brexit to pay even less tax and take even more of the wealth that we all create. labour is under attack because we are standing up to the corporate interests, plundering our nhs. £13 billion of nhs budget is already privatised. how much more will be left if the tories get another five years of damaging our nhs? that is why we are under attack. we are drawing a line, a line under decades of privatisation from energy and rail to health and social care that has made some people very, very rich. but it h

the newly—elected mayor of greater manchester, andy burnham, said the city showed its true spirit as it responded to such a brutal event. our special correspondent fergal keane reports now on a city, trying to come to terms with a terrible shock. our cities cannot live in constant fear of terror, however much part of life it has become. so when the night is torn by violence, there is shock, there is strength and there are questions. today, we asked the mancunians we met to speak directly to the rest of britain. when‘s it going to end? it's incredibly sad. our way of life is being controlled by it now, as much as we don't want it to be. we're such a united city, and it's quite harrowing to think what happened last night. it's devastating how young people fell victim to it and it's really horrible. you wouldn't expect it anywhere, but manchester is such a welcoming place and everyone‘s friendly. it's a beautiful place. you don't expect things like that to happen here, but for some reason they do. makes you scared at first, but you just realise you can't let the fear win. and you ge

and the transatlantic row escalated further when the mayor of greater manchester, andy burnham, also expressed his firm disapproval of the leaks. it worries me greatly. i made my concerns known to the us ambassador. it is not acceptable to me. there is a live investigation taking place here. we cannot have information in the public domain not in direct control of the british police and security services. a short time ago, i spoke to our correspondent, wyre davies, who is in manchester, for the latest on the investigation. the police here are trying to focus on the investigation which is trying to find the bomber‘s associates. we now know, of course, he more than likely didn't act alone. he had help in amassing the bomb and putting it together and certainly the technology behind the bomb probably came from elsewhere. so they're trying to find the bomb factory, find the bomb maker, and they're arresting and speaking to the associates of abedi. they've now arrested seven people in total, two more arrests in the last hour or two, both in manchester and further afield towards the uk mid

today, we're told andy burnham will be on stage. so, we awaitjeremy corbyn. i don't think he's there yet. let's just have a listen... colleagues, friends, brothers and sisters, welcome to event city here in manchester to launch the labour party general election 2017 campaign. what a wonderful city! what a wonderful people! cheering and applause and i have got to say, i am terribly excited! about the general election! i am terribly excited about the policies whichjeremy corbyn's terribly excited about the policies which jeremy corbyn's labour party are rolling out in 2017! i am proud, i was are rolling out in 2017! i am proud, iwasa are rolling out in 2017! i am proud, i was a coal miner in the coal mines of the north—east, what a fantastic job, great camaraderie, friendship and i'm really privileged to be joint national campaigns coordinator with my good friend andrew and i'm also very proud to be part ofjeremy corbyn's shadow cabinet meeting mac cheering and applause viz, colleagues, and the future of a very bright and new dawn with the labour party. this

the mayor of greater manchester, andy burnham was among the runners taking part in the race. he explained why organisers were so determined that it should take place. we did think very carefully about it. always, we wanted to do it. we wanted to send the message out that you are not going to beat us. you are not going to change us. you will not stop as doing what we want to do and live the life we want to live. that is what we were trying to do all week. that is the message we have got all week. let's return to those pictures from moss side. from the ongoing police operation there, adelaide this is led to the —— a rate that has led to the arrest of a further person. we are awaiting reports of a controlled explosion. 14 people have been arrested, 12 remaining custody, two released without charge. british airways is continuing to suffer delays caused by yesterday's power breakdown which had a catastrophic affect on its it services. heathrow continues to be the worst hit. some shops at the airport have run out of food and many people reportedly slept on the floor overnight.

i must say that andy burnham, the numeric manchester, has done a terrificjob in speaking on behalf of the city. having just been elected. yes, he has been a cabinet minister and that high level of authority has given him the ability to speak for the people with a good voice. let's talk about the financial times. they have about the financial times. they have a story, i do not know if it is good news or bad news. the idea that you may be able to use your mobile phone oi’ may be able to use your mobile phone or the time on the tube? that will increase chatter levels... the london mayor has a lot on his plate. he has the whole brexit thing and the impact of the city of london, the impact of the city of london, the disaster of stafford rail. it does not strike me that this should be high on the list of priorities. people on their mobile phones while on the underground, it has been a safe haven from that kind of thing. i remember reading these stories ten oi’ i remember reading these stories ten or 15 years ago about how we will soon, in only be able to talk on the underground on our m

myth that there is a rift between andy burnham and jeremy corbyn because there is not. they are quite good friends and they served in the shadow cabinet right up served in the shadow cabinet right up until the time where he decided to seek nominations for the mayoral contest in the north west. in no way is there any rift between germany and andy. that is simply not true. that is simply not true. with me is our political correspondent matt cole. now the dust has settle in those elections, what picture does paint for the general election? it has thrown up some interesting results, not least that west midlands area, a crucial battle ground and labour would have hoped to have taken back and it is a blow not to have taken that. we will see party leaders in that. we will see party leaders in that broader regents day —— broader region today try to capitalise. but voter turnout is different than in general elections, but with that caveat, the broad general thrust of the vote suggested the conservatives are on for doing very well indeed and labour less well. but a small hope

with me now is the mayor of greater manchester andy burnham. thank you very much for coming down for us this morning. as we have been here this morning and we can see one or two people behind us now, many more people are arriving here, laying flowers and some people just taking a moment to think. yes. where are your thoughts this morning? we we re are your thoughts this morning? we were numb yesterday with shock and today i guess we're waking up to the enormity of what has happened, but i think people did take enormous comfort from what happened yesterday. it was our darkest hour, but also you saw the best of greater manchester yesterday. i was in the hospitals late last night and i was hearing stories that porters, cleaners, surgeons, nurses came in from not doing on shift to help out, the public were bringing in food and people really did pull together and i think we should take a great deal of pride in that. greater manchester came together. i want to ask you about the increased terror threat. it is at its highest level. how is that going to

just to add, we have heard from the greater manchester mao, andy burnham, who said that his heart goes out to families who have lost loved ones. —— mayor. he said it was a terrible night for their great city. some absolutely heartbreaking tweeds and media posts, —— tweets. this must be a heartbreaking time for parents who perhaps haven't located children who are in hotels nearby, all sorts of places where unaccompanied children are waiting to be found by their pa rents are waiting to be found by their parents and loved ones. that's right, we understand about 50 children were in the holiday in nearby in the hotel was looking after them, as they were waiting to be reunited with their parents —— holiday inn. and some people have opened their homes to look after those children. the people who would have been going to that concert, a lot of

one last thing to mention, the mayor of manchester, andy burnham,, he says his thoughts go out with everyone affected. there is a sense of defiance with everyone pulling together. we heard about taxi drivers giving people who were stranded lifts home. others offering rooms in hotels to wait in. a city trying to unite in difficult circumstances. #roomformanchester. you can imagine how many people are absolutely bewildered in manchester city after what happened, many of them young children. we heard a train station next to the arena, it was blocked. it was close to where the explosion occurred. obviously, checks will have to go on there. for some people, they have potentially travelled long distances to get to the arena. they may not have a route home, certainly, in the early hours. travelling home will be difficult to be some will need somewhere to stay. i think it is reassuring in a really upsetting situation that the best in some people is being brought out. they are offering rooms. hotels are, we we re they are offering rooms. hotels are, we were told, taking in unaccompanied teenagers whi

as andy will know, andy burnham. he knows it's a wonderful city to be part. people will commune in. that's kind of warmth of personality is what makes days like this so special. thanks forjoining us. will you involved in the decision to have to run taking place? how hard is that? we did think very carefully about it. but, always, we wanted to do it. we wanted to send the message out that you are not going to beat us. you are not going to change us. you will not stop us doing what we want to do, living the life we want to live. that was what we were trying to do all week. that's the message that spin coming out loud and clear from the people of greater manchester today. how much tighter is security today? the book and cd extra police presence, i'm grateful for them. will move to the side because someone is coming past. don't want to get knocked over. one of the races are starting behind us and we will have to move to the side. thank you, andy forjoining us. we will move before i get knocked over by someone as! we don't wa nt knocked over by someone as! we don't want that to happen. j

greater manchester's mayor, andy burnham, was among those hundreds of people observing the silence in st ann's square, which has become the focal point for tributes. i can't overstate how incredibly moving those few minutes were. our correspondent sarah campbell reports. remembering the children, teenagers, mothers, fathers, relatives and friends who lost their lives. a nation united in silence. bell chimes ii. trumpets play. as we come from different faiths, different traditions, different cultures, we come as one to declare that we are manchester and we will continue to be that manchester, and so we ask your blessing upon this time and we ask for your love and support on those who suffer, that they will know that, above all, lies the everlasting arms of god. the applause in st ann's square in manchester lasted for a minute more after the silence. we are manchester through and through, and we wanted to make sure that we were here today to show the people of manchester that we not only stand with you, we are part of you and we are with you. when something really bad happens, everybody

the mayor of greater manchester andy burnham. and members of the emergency services who have come to manchester's aid in its moment of need. and, as i announced last night, the general election campaign has been suspended. i will chair another meeting of cobra later today. at terrible moments like these, it is customary for leaders, politicians and others to condemn the perpetrators and declare that the terrorists will not win, but the fact that we have been here before and the fact that we need to say this again does not make it any less true. for while so often we experienced the worst of humanity in manchester last night, we also saw the best. the cowardice of the attacker met the bravery of the emergency services and the people of manchester. the attempt to divide us met countless acts of kindness that brought people closer together. and in the days ahead, those must be the things we remember. the images we hold in our minds should not be those of senseless slaughter, but of the ordinary men and women who put concerns about t
