A suspect package forces the evacuation of Manchester

:00:00.:00:07.

Bomb disposal experts have carried out a controlled explosion.

:00:08.:00:22.

Tens of thousands of fans had to leave as United's final game

:00:23.:00:25.

of the season against Bournemouth, is abandoned.

:00:26.:00:27.

When you were leaving the ground and you asked the security

:00:28.:00:29.

And they are like, well, we don't know, just wait outside.

:00:30.:00:33.

It is the right decision that the security of the fans

:00:34.:00:37.

Boris Johnson compares the EU to Hitler, saying both wanted

:00:38.:00:41.

His critics say the comments are offensive.

:00:42.:00:47.

David Cameron promises more help for children,

:00:48.:00:49.

once they leave local authority care.

:00:50.:00:52.

And it's still pulling in the crowds, the world's most

:00:53.:00:59.

famous steam locomotive, The Flying Scotsman, returns home.

:01:00.:01:16.

The last day of the Premier League football season was thrown

:01:17.:01:22.

into chaos this afternoon, when of tens of thousands of fans

:01:23.:01:25.

had to be evacuated from Manchester United's Old Trafford

:01:26.:01:27.

stadium, because of a suspect package.

:01:28.:01:28.

Bomb disposal experts later carried out a controlled explosion.

:01:29.:01:34.

United had been due to play Bournemouth, and a win could have

:01:35.:01:41.

secured them a place in next season's Champions League.

:01:42.:01:43.

Andy Swiss is at Old Trafford for us.

:01:44.:01:45.

Well, as you say, on the pitch this was potentially a pivotal day for

:01:46.:01:54.

Manchester United and shortly before kick-off thousands of fans had

:01:55.:01:58.

already taken their seats inside the stadium. But then suddenly

:01:59.:02:03.

everything changed, and instead of watching a football match fans were

:02:04.:02:07.

being evacuated from the stadium and the game dramatically called off. As

:02:08.:02:13.

the players warmed up just 20 minutes before kick-off, an

:02:14.:02:20.

announcement over the tannoy. The instruction for fans in two stands

:02:21.:02:24.

to evacuate from the stadium after a suspect package had been discovered.

:02:25.:02:28.

Kick-off was initially delayed as sniffer dogs were brought in.

:02:29.:02:33.

Shortly after 3pm the TV coverage of the game made a dramatic

:02:34.:02:37.

announcement. An evacuation is underway and we are outside here in

:02:38.:02:42.

the television compound, 100 yards or so behind the Stretford end.

:02:43.:02:47.

Reports that the bomb squad have been arriving, there is confirmation

:02:48.:02:50.

that the bomb disposal unit is arriving here at Old Trafford. As

:02:51.:02:56.

the players including Michael Carrick of United digested the news,

:02:57.:03:01.

the remaining thousands inside were then evacuated, most appeared calm.

:03:02.:03:05.

Among them a group who had come all the way from Azerbaijan to watch the

:03:06.:03:11.

game. It is the right decision that the security of the fans is the most

:03:12.:03:15.

important thing. When you are leaving the ground and you asked the

:03:16.:03:18.

security guard what's going on and they are like, we don't know, just

:03:19.:03:24.

wait outside. It put us in a panic. Emergency services soon arrived at

:03:25.:03:28.

the ground as well as a bomb disposal team who carried out a

:03:29.:03:31.

controlled explosion. In footballing terms it was one of the biggest days

:03:32.:03:35.

of the season with United hoping to win Champions League qualification.

:03:36.:03:40.

But instead the sport has been overshadowed by concerns over

:03:41.:03:43.

security at one of the game's most famous venues. Well, in the last few

:03:44.:03:51.

minutes police have said a controlled explosion was carried out

:03:52.:03:56.

on what is described as an incredibly lifelike explosive

:03:57.:03:59.

device, they say the experts assessment has now concluded and

:04:00.:04:05.

found the device was not viable, a full search of the stadium is

:04:06.:04:10.

ongoing. They say the focus is now on getting to the bottom of what has

:04:11.:04:15.

been a very serious security alert. Many thanks for that. Andy Swiss

:04:16.:04:16.

there, at Old Trafford. The prominent Vote Leave campaigner

:04:17.:04:19.

in June's EU referendum, Boris Johnson, has compared

:04:20.:04:22.

what he claims is the ambition of some in Europe to create

:04:23.:04:26.

a single super-state, In an article for a Sunday

:04:27.:04:28.

newspaper, he said both the Nazi leader and the EU,

:04:29.:04:33.

shared similar goals, but today's politicians were simply

:04:34.:04:36.

using different methods. The Shadow Foreign Secretary,

:04:37.:04:39.

Hilary Benn, who backs the Remain campaign,

:04:40.:04:41.

said his comments were Here's our Political Correspondent

:04:42.:04:42.

Ben Wright. Boris Johnson rarely does subtle,

:04:43.:04:51.

but his latest intervention in the referendum campaign has

:04:52.:04:58.

sent sparks flying. A leading leave campaigner

:04:59.:05:04.

Mr Johnson said that the last 2000 years of European history had seen

:05:05.:05:06.

doomed attempts to recreate the Roman Empire by trying to unify

:05:07.:05:12.

it - Napoleon, Hitler, various people tried this out

:05:13.:05:15.

and it ends tragically. The EU is an attempt to do this

:05:16.:05:17.

by different methods. Any mention of Hitler in the EU

:05:18.:05:21.

debate was always going to prompt controversy but a fellow Leave

:05:22.:05:29.

campaigner said Mr Johnson's reading Boris was making a carefully

:05:30.:05:31.

calibrated historic comparison, and all of these figures,

:05:32.:05:41.

Philip II of Spain, Louis XIV of France,

:05:42.:05:43.

Napoleon and Hitler, were all trying to create

:05:44.:05:44.

a United States of Europe and admittedly they wanted to do it

:05:45.:05:47.

by force whilst the EU Boris Johnson's words incensed

:05:48.:05:50.

the Remain campaigners. I think to try to compare

:05:51.:05:55.

what Hitler and the Nazis did - the millions of people who died

:05:56.:06:03.

in the Holocaust to the free democracies of Europe coming

:06:04.:06:05.

together to trade and cooperate and in the process to help secure

:06:06.:06:08.

peace on the continent of Europe Europe's history and Britain's place

in it has become a battle ground Glowering over Parliament

is Churchill, whose own views on Europe are being pressed

:06:21.:06:22.

into service by both sides. The past is being invoked

:06:23.:06:25.

to stir our emotions, gut feelings, and that is why Boris Johnson

:06:26.:06:36.

mentioned Churchill's But of course it is really

:06:37.:06:38.

about the future, the political and economic repercussions

:06:39.:06:42.

of staying in, or leaving the EU. And today the governor

:06:43.:06:44.

of the Bank of England, who does not do interviews often,

:06:45.:06:46.

decided to repeat a warning What our judgment is as a risk

:06:47.:06:49.

is that growth will be materially lower and inflation notably higher

:06:50.:06:58.

in the event of leaving. The governor has strayed now into

:06:59.:07:01.

an expression of what is a simple, I don't actually think

:07:02.:07:04.

that it is possible to say with any absolute accuracy that

:07:05.:07:08.

that will happen. Boris Johnson's comments have

:07:09.:07:11.

whipped up a controversy this weekend, the Leave campaign knows

:07:12.:07:15.

many big economic voices are sceptical of their case but this

:07:16.:07:18.

referendum is about hearts In Iraq at least 14 people have been

:07:19.:07:20.

killed and more than 20 wounded, in a suicide bomb attack

:07:21.:07:33.

by so-called Islamic north of the capital,

:07:34.:07:35.

Baghdad. A military spokesman said the car

bomb exploded at the entrance Six attackers then went

support for children, once they leave local authority

care in England. The Prime Minister will use

:07:53.:07:54.

the Queen's Speech this week to outline proposals,

:07:55.:07:57.

including a commitment KJ Simmons went into

:07:58.:07:58.

care when he was four. He lived between foster families

:07:59.:08:06.

and children's homes He suffered physical abuse

:08:07.:08:08.

and struggled to find the love He made it to drama school

:08:09.:08:12.

and he is now a musician and actor. # Can't wait to see the man you're

:08:13.:08:26.

going to turn out to be...# When he left local authority care

:08:27.:08:30.

all he was given was a letter, When you pass 18 they

:08:31.:08:33.

have got rid of you, you haven't got no one,

:08:34.:08:41.

you haven't got any strong It just gets progressively wrong

:08:42.:08:43.

from there and you start tumbling. The changes for care

:08:44.:08:48.

leavers include... Local authorities having to ensure

:08:49.:08:52.

housing and health care support. Everyone leaving care will be

:08:53.:08:55.

assigned a mentor Businesses will provide extended

:08:56.:08:57.

training and jobs This is now going to be a promise

:08:58.:09:02.

from government and something we want the whole of society to take

:09:03.:09:10.

forward as a commitment They matter to us and as a fair

:09:11.:09:13.

society we need to make sure that we make your life chances

:09:14.:09:19.

as likely to come true as it Almost 70,000 children were looked

:09:20.:09:22.

after by local authorities in England over the past year,

:09:23.:09:26.

the Prime Minister says changes will help to give

:09:27.:09:28.

them a brighter future. Those who work with young people

:09:29.:09:36.

in care are more cautious. Unless these measures are fully

:09:37.:09:43.

supported with funds and resources and local authorities are held

:09:44.:09:45.

accountable to ensure that they deliver good-quality

:09:46.:09:49.

services to young care leavers, then there isn't going to be any

:09:50.:09:51.

difference, we are going to be talking about this again

:09:52.:09:54.

in ten or 15 years. Adoption will also feature

:09:55.:09:58.

in the Queen's Speech, children won't automatically be sent

:09:59.:10:00.

to live with relatives. The priority will now be a permanent

:10:01.:10:04.

adoption with a new family. And there will be changes

:10:05.:10:10.

to training and regulation Now, with news of all

:10:11.:10:12.

the games on the last day of the Premier League season,

:10:13.:10:19.

and the rest of the sport, here's Lizzie Greenwood Hughes

:10:20.:10:22.

at the BBC Sport Centre... Hello. Thank you very much and good

:10:23.:10:27.

evening. Apart from the Manchester United game with Bournemouth that

:10:28.:10:30.

was abandoned every other team was in action and it was all about

:10:31.:10:34.

European qualification. Manchester City made sure of their place in the

:10:35.:10:38.

Champions League by finishing in fourth with a 1-1 draw at Swansea.

:10:39.:10:45.

The final day of the season, one for constant communication, constant

:10:46.:10:49.

calculation. For Manchester City the equation was simple, beat Swansea

:10:50.:10:53.

and they can secure Champions League football next season, sounds easy

:10:54.:10:58.

and it looked like it would just be that. Kelechi Iheanacho poked them

:10:59.:11:03.

ahead. Andre Ayew wrote nerves flooding back with a half-time

:11:04.:11:07.

equaliser with a bit of assistance from Fernando. A point should still

:11:08.:11:12.

have been enough but in what has been largely disjointed campaign the

:11:13.:11:16.

City stars struggled in front of goal, wrestling with the control of

:11:17.:11:20.

their own destiny and sometimes the ball, City as has often been the

:11:21.:11:26.

case made it hard to watch. When it finishes, the maths should see them

:11:27.:11:31.

safely in fourth and less Manchester United put 19 past Bournemouth. The

:11:32.:11:38.

Champions League spots are decided, for Southampton Europa League

:11:39.:11:40.

qualification was in the balance and the Saints guaranteed themselves a

:11:41.:11:44.

place with a win over Crystal Palace. This is confirmation of the

:11:45.:11:51.

results. West Ham and Liverpool's hopes of qualifying dependent on

:11:52.:11:55.

what happens in the FA Cup and Europa League finals. One other

:11:56.:11:59.

point to note is that Arsenal winning and Tottenham losing means

:12:00.:12:05.

Arsenal finish second. Celtic gave their outgoing manager Ronny Deila

:12:06.:12:09.

the perfect sendoff by thrashing Motherwell 7-0 in the final game of

:12:10.:12:14.

the season. Their last goal was scored by the debutant Jack

:12:15.:12:18.

Aitchison, 16 years and 17 days old means that he is the youngest player

:12:19.:12:20.

ever. A week before the French Open ,

:12:21.:12:28.

and on his 29th birthday, Andy Murray has chalked

:12:29.:12:30.

up a notable victory Winning 6-36-3, continuing his near

:12:31.:12:39.

perfect preparation for the French Open. Formula 1 history was made in

:12:40.:12:43.

Barcelona when the Dutch teenager Max Verstappen became the youngest

:12:44.:12:47.

driver to win a Grand Prix. The 18-year-old took advantage of

:12:48.:12:51.

favourites Hamilton and Rosberg as they dramatically collided on the

:12:52.:12:56.

first lap and retired. It was Verstappen's debut race for Red

:12:57.:13:03.

Bull, the previous age record was set... Two years older. Great

:13:04.:13:07.

Britain have topped the medal table at the diving athletics

:13:08.:13:14.

Championships. Tom Daley beat his Russian rival in the 10-metre

:13:15.:13:18.

platform. Rebecca Gallantree also claimed silver in the three metres

:13:19.:13:21.

Synchro. That is the sport. Thanks for that.

:13:22.:13:24.

Hundreds of people turned out to see the Flying Scotsman today,

:13:25.:13:27.

as the world's most famous steam locomotive marked its

:13:28.:13:29.

The trip had been thrown into doubt, after Network Rail said it wasn't

:13:30.:13:34.

But eventually the all clear was given, and it left

:13:35.:13:38.

Edinburgh this morning for a tour of the Borders,

:13:39.:13:41.

Lorna Gordon joined the fans, all hoping to catch a glimpse.

:13:42.:13:44.

It is one of the world's best-known steam locomotives,

:13:45.:13:47.

an iconic engine from the golden age of rail.

:13:48.:13:53.

Now for the first time this century the Flying Scotsman

:13:54.:13:56.

But this almost didn't happen, after Network Rail said safety

:13:57.:14:08.

checks along the route had not been done.

:14:09.:14:10.

There was uproar and then delight, after an 11th hour U-turn meant

:14:11.:14:13.

Enjoying the scenery and the experience of being

:14:14.:14:16.

on the Flying Scotsman, the steam locomotive.

:14:17.:14:18.

It would have been so much worse if it had been

:14:19.:14:21.

Very, very pleased when we knew it was back on track

:14:22.:14:34.

Enthusiasts lined the route, many more were there

:14:35.:14:38.

What was it like for the man lucky enough to be in the cab?

:14:39.:14:43.

Really good weather, really good turnout with people,

:14:44.:14:48.

and the steam engine performed exactly as she should

:14:49.:14:50.

I have been waiting a long time, this is the first time I've seen it.

:14:51.:14:57.

Over the last 24 hours those involved have pulled out

:14:58.:15:05.

all the stops to make sure the Flying Scotsman's tour

:15:06.:15:08.

of Scotland actually happened, but this has been an embarrassment

:15:09.:15:10.

This famous engine's journey on and then suddenly off and then

:15:11.:15:18.

It has been extraordinary but in the end the right conclusion

:15:19.:15:28.

has happened and we have really enjoyed coming here today.

:15:29.:15:31.

Those who admire this locomotive will just be glad

:15:32.:15:35.

the Flying Scotsman managed to come to Scotland after all.
