Good evening. It is has emerged one of the two main suspects being held

on suspicious of killing a British soldier in London last week had been

arrested in Kenya, in 2010. The Kenyan authorities believed Michael

Adebolajo was preparing to fight in Somalia with militants linked to

Al-Qaeda. He appeared in court in Mombasa and was then handed over to

British officials Today another man was arrested over

the Woolwich attack, taking the number being held by police to six.

Our Home Affairs correspondent has the latest.

Lee Rigby had been due to visit his family this weekend, instead, today,

they made the long journey south, to come to the spot where his life was

taken. Drummer Rigby's mum looked at the

flower, many with messages in memory of her son.

His widow, Rebecca, carry add balloon with the words dad in a

million. This was from their two-year-old son, Jack.

A small boy, who will grow up without his father.

The soldier's younger sister was overcome. This was Lee Rigby

training in Afghanistan. He returned from there safely to his family.

They lost him on a street in London. Today, more details emerged about

the radical past of one of the main suspects in his murder.

This was Michael Adebolajo, thousands of miles from home, under

arrest in Kenya. These people are mistreating us and

we are innocent. In 2010 he was among a group detained for allegedly

tried to -- trying to link up with an Al-Qaeda inspired movement in

Somalia. The Kenyans have denied he was ill-treated He was found to have

been a British citizen, of a Nigerian extraction, and from then

on, the Kenyan Government handed him over, to the British security

personnel, and I cannot say what happened after that.

In the UK, Michael Adebolajo was already known to the authorities for

his extremist view, here he was on a march in London. The man shot with

him last Wednesday, Michael Adebowale was on the radar of the

security MI5. So should both men have come under greater scrutiny? A

question for the Home Secretary in her first interview since the

soldier's murder. As I say, I see the excellent work the security

service do on a day-to-day basis we will look to see if lessons need to

be learned. Over the weekend, there have been

more armed raids and more arrests. Three men detained last night,

another arrested this afternoon. It has been suggested that this is what

is described as a loan wolf attack. This is being questioned by the

Government's former counter-terrorism Watchdog It may

have started as a lone wolf accuse thetivety, initiative, but generally

one finds because of the way the internet can be used, that people

who have these ambitions link up very quickly with others of like

mind. The criminal inquiry here is part of

a wider investigation into the Woolwich murder, and the two main

suspects. This weekend Reeves layingses about Michael Adebolajo

have raised new questions for the intelligence agencies.

This week, just days after the young soldier's death, MI5 is due to

produce its first report on what it new about both main suspects.

Our correspondent is in the Kenyan city of Mombasa where Michael

Adebolajo appeared in court in 2010. How much is being revealed in Kenya

about Michael Adebolajo? Well, he was arrested in November 2010 on a

small island up the coast from here, near the Somali border, he was

detained along with five Kenyaians than they suspected they were

attempting to make their way to Somalia, he appeared in court, as

you heard earlier, that is when it becomes unclear, Kenya's anti-terror

chief said ewas deport bud the Government spokeses man I have

spoken to said he was handed over to the UK authorities in Kenya,

specifically, to British intelligence officials. Now, my

understanding of how deportations work, that isn't it, if that is the

case, then obviously that will raise questions for Britain and how much

and when it knew what about Michael Adebolajo. Now, Al-Shabab has been a

problem for Kenya, bombings here have been blamed on claimed by

Al-Shabab and this is one of the fears of Britain, is that some of

their young men could be going over to Somalia, getting Jihadist

training and returning to Britain radicalised and dangerous.

Thank you. Let us return now to the question of

what the authorities here new about Michael Adebolajo, because our

security correspondent is here in the studio. How much of an issue for

MI5 is this prior arrest in Kenya? Think what happened in Kenya

certainly sharpens the questions and increases the pressure on MI5. Two

months before Michael Adebolajo appeared in that Kenyan court, the

then head of MI5 gave a rare speech. Specifically warned of the dangers

of those going to fight in Somalia. He said it was only a matter of time

before the UK saw, in his words, terrorism on the streets inspired by

those who had been to Somalia. MI5 receives hundreds of Leedsry month.

There are thousands of extremists who are on the radar, on its book,

it has to prioritise, decide which ones are in its eye eyes real

threat, immediate threats to national security. They will have a

huge amount of resources directed against them, but I think now the

the question is in sharper focus, if Michael Adebolajo was trying, as has

been alleged to go to Somalia to fight, and if that was something

which is of great concern to MI5 at the time, why was he not placed in

that category of people who should be subject to greater surveillance

and security? That is the question which is being looked at.

Our security correspondent will. The events in Woolwich is have re-opened

the debate about how to tackle radicalisation and extremism. The

Home Secretary has said the government will look again at

existing powers and whether more needs to be done. Here is our

political correspondent. The murder in Woolwich has reignited

the political debate over whether the law needs to be changed in order

to help combat treebtion Mitch. The Prime Minister has announced a new

task force and today the Home Secretary Theresa May restated the

case for giving the police, and intelligence agencies more power to

access details of online communication, where necessary.

far as I am concerned, I think this is very important thing we need to,

that we need to ensure we are giving our law enforcement agencies and

intelligence agencies access to the tools they need, to fight crime,

paedophiles and terrorists. Plans to introduce a communications

data bill were dropped following strong opposition from the Liberal

Democrats. It would have required internet

companies to store details of all Britons on line activity for a year,

police wouldn't have to seek permission to access the data if

investigating a crime. The Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg said the

so-called snooper's charter wouldn't happen whine the Liberal Democrats

are in Government. A view echoed by another senior party member today

There is no evidence so far in this particular case anything in the bill

would have had any effect at all on this sort of attack, everybody has

said we must be careful of knee-jerk reaction, we mustn't make them. It

would be wrong to legislate on that basis. As the arguments about

whether to introduce a Communications Bill continue, Labour

has warned that cuts to Local Authorities funding has hampered

their ability to tackle radicalism. They are calling for both sides of

the coalition to work, to try to tackle the challenges posted by new

technology while protecting people's freedoms.

President Obama has pledged that the US Government will be behind the

victims of the Oklahoma tornado every step of the way. On a visit to

the city worst hit, the President said the scale of the damage was

hard to comprehend. Our North America correspondent reports.

It is rare for Air Force One to land in Oklahoma. But today, the symbolic

support of a Presidential visit. Although this remote, rural state is

used to tornado, last week's twister brought devastation to a suburb of

Oklahoma city. As his motorcade snaked through streets lined with

the debris of broken homes President Obama saws the scars for himself.

This area is known more than its share of heartbreak, but people here

pride themselves on the Oklahoma standard. What governor called being

able to work through disasters like this and come out stronger on the

other side. Last Monday's tornado ripped through

the neighbourhood. 24 people were killed, including ten children.

More than 1200 homes were mowed down.

President Obama's first stop was to the site where the school used to

stand. Seven children were killed when it was crushed into a heap of

bricks and broken concrete. The President said he was bringing

condolences from all Americans. He met people who had lost everything.

And promised the fedical government would help them rebuild their lives.

Obviously the damage here is pretty hard to comprehend. Our hearts go

out to the family, who have been impacted. Including those who had

loved ones who were lost. million dollars has been paid to

people here, the concern in Oklahoma is that the financial support

continues, long after the President has gone.

Here, a pensioner has died after being attacked bay dog at his home

in Liverpool. 79-year-old Clifford Clarke was set upon in his garden

yesterday. The dog has been destroy and two women are being questioned

on suspicion of manslaughter. From Liverpool, this report.

The moments before armed police shoot an out of control dog. It had

just mauled a pensioner in his garden. In the left of the video,

officers take aim, as neighbours try to help.

It is thought 79-year-old Clifford Clarke died soon after the attack. A

man described as gentle and caring. We just heard the dogs barking, you

know, we thought it was a dog fight. You heard Cliff? We heard a scream I

know was probably Cliff. I seen the next door neighbour with a golf club

a whacking the top of the fence, and I just seen this dog's head jumping

up. Many of the fences here are round six foot tall. But some

neighbours say that in the hours before the attack, dogs were seen

jumping from garden to garden. Two women, believed to be neighbours

of Mr Clark have been arrested by police.

At the moment the indication that we have received calls regarding these

particular animals, but it is quite early in the investigation, and that

will take some time to assess. Neighbours say the pensioner was

scared of dogs. Police now need to find out why this dog attacked him,

and how it got into his garden. Thousands of people have protested

against France's law permitting gay marriage. The law came into force

over a week ago, but organisers decided to go ahead with the

demonstration to show their continued opposition. Police say

150,000 people were on the march in Paris, demonstrate fors claimed

several hundreds of thousands more people attended.

It was the longest military campaign of the Second World War. Aped at

keeping open the supply lines. Today the 70th anniversary of the Battle

of the Atlantic has been mashed with a special service in Liverpool

Cathedral. -- marked. The Princess Royal was among those paying tribute

to those who died. Today's service at Liverpool

Cathedral honoured those who risked and in many cases lost their lived

to keep control of vital supply routes across the Atlantic. It was

attended by the Princess Royal and her husband, along with other senior

naval officers. The campaign was a bloody one, claiming tens of

Hitler targeted thousands of purr chant navy vessels in and effort to

stop fuel, food equipment and articles reaching the shores.

Slow-moving columns of ships were easy prey. Winston Churchill wrote

the U-boat peril was the only thing that really frightened hip It is

something that should be remembered. For posterity, and heritage.

Something that we must keep open. Don't let the youngsters forget.

It fills you with a sense of pride. It does, so see these gentlemen

walking and see other generations walking as well. It is fantastic.

Liverpool was the destination of many wartime convoys and home of the

western approach's command, which helped mastermind naval operations.

Today, is about remembering the sacrifices of a generation that

shaped all our lives. Time now for all the sport.

Thank you. England are in a commanding position ahead of day

Prix 30 years after his father won the same race in the principality.

He stayed in role from pole to the chequered flag, several other

drivers crashed in an incident packed race.

If the Hollywood stars were looking for more drama after Cannes they

found it. The Monaco Grand Prix can be a pro sessional affair and it

looked to be heading that way when Nico Rosberg beat his Mercedes

team-mate Hamilton to the first corner.

For the second day running Felipe Massa ploughed his Ferrari into turn

one. That brought the safety car out. Rosberg got in before Hamilton.

Desperate to regain his place, the Briton came close to ening his race

as he challenged Mark Webber's Red Bull. Florent Malouda wasn't so

fortunate when Gladys Chilton took him out. -- max Chilton took him

out. 12 laps after the restart, Grosjean

hit the back of Ricciardo and the safety car was called again. The

distractions didn't ruffle Rosberg who keep his lead to become the

first son of a previous Monaco winner to claim the chequered flag.
