Palace. A minute's silence fell

:02:21.:02:21.

across the UK at 11am this morning to remember the 22 people

:02:22.:02:21.

killed in Manchester. In Manchester, a long minute ended

with In Manchester, a long minute ended

:04:28.:04:27.

it was so nice, everyone coming here and showing

showing strength and unity, and our support to loved ones. I have come

:04:39.:04:43.

to pay tribute to those who were so courageous, those who have lost

:04:44.:04:47.

their lives, and those who are still fighting for their lives. Given the

:04:48.:04:51.

morning the Queen visited the Royal Manchester Children's Hospital. Were

:04:52.:04:59.

you the first one? Yes. She thanked the medical staff who attended the

:05:00.:05:03.

scene and spoke to some of those wounded. You had enjoyed the

:05:04.:05:11.

concert? It was really good. I got to beat her before the concert, she

:05:12.:05:15.

was lovely. In one conversation she described the attack as wicked. A

:05:16.:05:24.

big shock. Very wicked. Another patient spoke about her shrapnel

:05:25.:05:30.

wounds. Mine has gone through 15 centimetres at the other side. I am

:05:31.:05:38.

doing surgery later this afternoon. 75 people are still in hospital,

:05:39.:05:40.

some of them will need reconstructive surgery. Today was a

:05:41.:05:46.

reminder of what unites people, a determination not to allow the

:05:47.:05:51.

bombing to define this city and its communities. Even while people are

:05:52.:05:55.

still seeking cancers as to how a young man born here could carry out

:05:56.:05:59.

such an attack. This evening hundreds of people were still laying

:06:00.:06:05.

flowers, a day of solidarity after the deliberate targeting of children

:06:06.:06:05.

and teenagers. In their latest update,

:06:06.:06:09.

Greater Manchester Police say that they have made significant

:06:10.:06:11.

arrests and have found items Since the suicide bombing on Monday

:06:12.:06:14.

night, the police and security services have been trying

:06:15.:06:20.

to establish whether Salman Abedi I'm going to have to

:06:21.:06:23.

move you back, please. This evening the police hunt

:06:24.:06:33.

for Salman Abedi's bomb factory took a new turn,

:06:34.:06:38.

the search of a house in Wigan suddenly escalated

:06:39.:06:41.

with the discovery of suspicious items and the bomb squad

the neighbouring room? I didn't expect that

:07:04.:07:05.

something of this sort Police have described

:07:06.:07:11.

their investigation as fast-moving. This morning, as the country stood

:07:12.:07:22.

in silence, armed police officers were shouting at residents

:07:23.:07:25.

in central Manchester to take cover after reports of a suspect package

:07:26.:07:29.

in a block of flats. There was loads of armed police

:07:30.:07:34.

officers in the middle of the grass just squatting down

:07:35.:07:36.

and they were just shouting at everyone, telling them,

:07:37.:07:42.

"Don't go near the road." I panicked because my daughter works

:07:43.:07:45.

in the school that's just there. Your first instinct is,

:07:46.:07:49.

"I need my child." The city is jittery as

:07:50.:07:51.

counter-terrorism chiefs desperately try to track the movements of Salman

:07:52.:07:53.

Abedi. This is what the search

:07:54.:07:54.

for a bomb factory looks like. A tip-off, an address,

factory still goes on. This raid did not produce

:08:03.:08:05.

the lead they'd hoped for, but the investigation is understood

:08:06.:08:08.

to be making real progress. Two arrests were made in Manchester

:08:09.:08:13.

early today and there was a linked swoop on a property 75 miles south,

in Nuneaton, late last night Eight men are now in custody in

connection with the arena bombing. I want to reassure people

:08:22.:08:26.

that the arrests that we have made are significant and initial searches

:08:27.:08:30.

of premises have revealed items that we believe are very important

:08:31.:08:35.

to the investigation. Police and counter-terrorism

:08:36.:08:40.

officers are piecing together a picture of

:08:41.:08:42.

Salman Abedi's last movements. It's understood he'd recently left

:08:43.:08:46.

Manchester for Tripoli in Libya, returning to the UK four days

:08:47.:08:52.

before the attack, via Police think in the hours before

:08:53.:08:54.

:08:55.:09:01.

near Piccadilly railway station, and a short distance

:09:02.:09:03.

from the Manchester Arena, Somewhere near here he'd

:09:04.:09:05.

phoned his mother and said, "Forgive me," according to a Libyan

anti-terrorism official. Forensics, CCTV, traffic cameras,

interviews every conceivable method for tracking Abedi's

:09:19.:09:22.

movements is being pursued. We've been overwhelmed with support

:09:23.:09:25.

from members of the public and I'd ask for patience to continue

:09:26.:09:29.

from our local communities here in Greater Manchester

:09:30.:09:33.

as we carry out those searches Abedi was known

:09:34.:09:35.

to security services. There had been warnings

:09:36.:09:42.

about his radicalisation. Why wasn't he stopped before

:09:43.:09:44.

he carried out his murderous attack? Since 2013, 18 plots

:09:45.:09:48.

have been thwarted, five since the Westminster

:09:49.:09:53.

attack in March. Could, should this one

:09:54.:09:55.

have been prevented too? Let's get more from our Home Affairs

:09:56.:10:04.

Correspondent Daniel Sandford, who is outside the headquarters

:10:05.:10:07.

of Greater Manchester Police. We saw a series of raids and

:10:08.:10:18.

searches, what is the latest you are hearing? It is worth saying that the

:10:19.:10:28.

raid in Wigan, where the bomb disposal officers were called,

:10:29.:10:32.

appears to be over, people have been allowed to return home, and nothing

:10:33.:10:35.

dangerous seems to have been found, so that seems to have been resolved

:10:36.:10:40.

safely. On the wider investigation, I got the sense in the first 36

:10:41.:10:45.

hours that detectives were struggling to make progress, but

:10:46.:10:49.

that has changed in the last 24 hours, I get the sense they know who

:10:50.:10:54.

the bomber is, when he arrived in the country, where he spent the

:10:55.:10:58.

weekend before the attack, they have an idea about his associates and

:10:59.:11:01.

even maybe who knew what he was planning, and that is looking quite

:11:02.:11:06.

good. The shadow hanging over the whole thing is the threat level,

:11:07.:11:11.

which remains critical, which means an attack is possibly imminent.

:11:12.:11:14.

There is a reason for that, one source said there is a high threat.

:11:15.:11:26.

When I asked, he said we have got what he called outstanding entities,

:11:27.:11:29.

and we can start to issue that might mean there are bits of a bomb or

:11:30.:11:33.

things you might use to put a bomb together that are still missing.

:11:34.:11:36.

All 22 people who lost their lives in the suicide bombing have

:11:37.:11:39.

Ten teenagers and children were among those who were killed,

:11:40.:11:44.

Judith Moritz reports now on the victims and the loss felt

:11:45.:11:49.

They were loved and they are mourned.

:11:50.:11:55.

Taken by the bomb, their names keep coming.

:11:56.:12:00.

Eilidh MacLeod, 14 years old, from the Outer Hebrides,

:12:01.:12:04.

a vivacious teenager, who played bagpipes

:12:05.:12:09.

19-year-old Courtney Boyle from Gateshead, a university student who

:12:10.:12:22.

had made her family proud. Her mother has suffered double

:12:23.:12:28.

heartache. Her partner, Philip Tron, was also killed. Described as

:12:29.:12:36.

gorgeous and crazy, it is said he made the world a happy place. Also

:12:37.:12:44.

lost, when the foul from Otley, nearly, a mother and a school

:12:45.:12:48.

helper, said to have touched the lives of so many. Wendy and her

:12:49.:12:54.

friend Caroline had been together collecting their children from the

:12:55.:12:59.

concert. Injured herself, Caroline remembers being frantic with worry.

:13:00.:13:07.

I could not see Wendy anywhere. Then there were policeman talking to me,

:13:08.:13:12.

they got me sat up, and they asked if I could walk, we tried, the phone

:13:13.:13:23.

rang and rang. Chloe Rutherford from South Shields for studying music and

:13:24.:13:28.

planned a career in travel. She was at the show with her boyfriend Liam

:13:29.:13:34.

Curry. 19-year-old Liam lost his father to cancer earlier this year.

:13:35.:13:41.

He and Chloe were young sweethearts, described as inseparable. Their

:13:42.:13:45.

families say the teenagers' wings were ready but their hearts are not.

:13:46.:13:53.

And Elaine McIver, a police officer who loved music and had gone to the

:13:54.:13:59.

concert on her night off duty. Flowers have been laid at Cheshire

:14:00.:14:03.

police headquarters for her, she started as a volunteer special

:14:04.:14:07.

constable and rose up to work for the organised crime unit. She spent

:14:08.:14:11.

more than 20 years working for Cheshire police, her colleagues and

:14:12.:14:16.

friends came into work to learn that they had lost one of their own.

:14:17.:14:21.

Cheshire's Chief Constable opened a book of condolence for the officer.

:14:22.:14:26.

It has rocked the core of the organisation. We have been touched

:14:27.:14:30.

by the outpouring of support from the wider police family, from other

:14:31.:14:35.

organisations, and messages from the public of Cheshire, which has been

:14:36.:14:41.

really warming at a difficult time. So many communities are bereft.

:14:42.:14:50.

North of Manchester, hundreds turned out in Bury, writing in convoy into

:14:51.:14:53.

the city centre. They came to remember their friend Olivia

:14:54.:14:59.

Campbell and her family came as well, taking comfort from the

:15:00.:15:03.

tributes left for all of the victims. 22 killed, more than 100

:15:04.:15:10.

injured. We know their names and their harrowing stories. But we will

:15:11.:15:17.

never understand their terrible, unfathomable loss.

:15:18.:15:29.

Today, police in Manchester condemned the continuing leaks

:15:30.:15:31.

in the United States of information about their investigation

:15:32.:15:33.

The publication of images by the New York Times of the scene

:15:34.:15:38.

of the attack prompted Greater Manchester Police

:15:39.:15:39.

to temporarily suspend intelligence sharing between Britain and the US.

:15:40.:15:42.

It was only resumed in the last hour.

:15:43.:15:45.

Theresa May has discussed the issue with the President, who's described

:15:46.:15:52.

Both are attending a Nato summit in Brussels.

:15:53.:15:58.

A flying visit by Theresa May, straight from the British front

:15:59.:16:05.

Here to build alliances with partners and repair them

:16:06.:16:09.

She wanted more co-operation against terrorism and no more damage

:16:10.:16:14.

to investigations, like the leaks of intelligence by American

:16:15.:16:20.

officials after the Manchester attack.

:16:21.:16:21.

We have a special relationship with the USA, it is our deepest

:16:22.:16:24.

defence and security partnership that we have.

:16:25.:16:28.

Of course, that partnership is built on trust, and part of that trust

:16:29.:16:31.

is knowing that intelligence can be shared confidently.

:16:32.:16:34.

I will be making clear to President Trump today that

:16:35.:16:39.

intelligence that is shared between law-enforcement

:16:40.:16:41.

These images of bomb debris after the blast were leaked to US

:16:42.:16:53.

media by American officials, so was the bomber's identity.

:16:54.:16:56.

British officials were furious by the leaks and the story

:16:57.:16:58.

REPORTER: Can the British trust the Americans with intelligence?

:16:59.:17:16.

No answer yet, but at a ceremony for Nato leaders, he led

:17:17.:17:19.

Innocent little girls and so many others were horribly murdered.

:17:20.:17:23.

It was a barbaric and vicious attack upon our civilisation.

:17:24.:17:30.

All people who cherish life must unite in finding, exposing

:17:31.:17:34.

and removing these killers and extremists and, yes, losers.

:17:35.:17:36.

But leaders were forced to listen as the President gave them a severe

:17:37.:17:44.

telling off over missed targets for defence spending.

:17:45.:17:49.

But 23 of the 28 member nations are still not paying

:17:50.:17:55.

what they should be paying and what they're supposed to be

:17:56.:17:58.

This is not fair to the people and taxpayers of the United States.

:17:59.:18:05.

No doubt about who considers himself the alpha leader here.

:18:06.:18:11.

But Mrs May had mentioned the importance of sharing

:18:12.:18:13.

intelligence, and those Manchester leaks rankled.

:18:14.:18:20.

The President released a statement calling the leaks "deeply troubling"

:18:21.:18:22.

and promising to bring anyone found responsible to justice.

:18:23.:18:24.

Facing terrorism and confronting other challenges, Britain

:18:25.:18:26.

needs its so-called special relationship with America to be just

:18:27.:18:29.

that, but those leaks caused fury, trust was damaged just

:18:30.:18:32.

when it was most needed, and now American promises to do

:18:33.:18:35.

better in future may ease the tension.

:18:36.:18:37.

Mrs May and her ministers have no choice but to accept them anyway,

:18:38.:18:53.

but fully repairing the lost trust and confidence, that'll take time.

:18:54.:18:56.

This evening, solidarity on show, with President Trump centrestage.

:18:57.:18:58.

There will be more help for operations against Islamic State,

:18:59.:19:00.

more British help training troops in Afghanistan.

:19:01.:19:02.

Leaders want to be seen working together, but Theresa May wants

:19:03.:19:05.

more, more co-operation against the threats

:19:06.:19:06.

Our North America editor, Jon Sopel, is in Sicily, where Mr Trump

:19:07.:19:13.

The police here say they've now resumed intelligence

:19:14.:19:16.

sharing with the US, but how serious has

:19:17.:19:18.

this disagreement been between the UK and the US?

:19:19.:19:21.

Serious. I think that Theresa May and the British Government left the

:19:22.:19:28.

Americans in absolutely no doubt just the scale of the fury that they

:19:29.:19:32.

felt that things like that were appearing in American newspapers. I

:19:33.:19:36.

thought the statement from Donald Trump that came out was very strong

:19:37.:19:40.

indeed. Saying, "I'm asking the Department of Justice and other

:19:41.:19:45.

relevant agencies to launch a complete review if appropriate the

:19:46.:19:50.

culprit should be prosecuted to the full state of the law." And then,

:19:51.:19:54.

"there is no rerelationship than we cherish more than the special

:19:55.:19:58.

relationship between the United States and United Kingdom." He was

:19:59.:20:01.

not standing up for his security agencies because he believes he has

:20:02.:20:04.

been the victim of their leaks in the past. Now he's saying to Theresa

:20:05.:20:09.

May, infect, you now know how I feel about what's going on in America

:20:10.:20:13.

with all these leaks. That said, there were one or two White House

:20:14.:20:18.

people I spoke to who said - I'm not sure I understand what the fuss is

:20:19.:20:22.

about. That points to a different culture in the US compared to the

:20:23.:20:26.

UK. Our contempt of court laws in Britain are different from America

:20:27.:20:31.

what appears in American newspapers seems to the journalists and the law

:20:32.:20:35.

officers who leaked them pretty unremarkable. We have very different

:20:36.:20:39.

systems of justice. Today, Britain showed that it can really bear its

:20:40.:20:44.

teeth and show its unhappiness and America has responded. Jon Sopel, in

:20:45.:20:48.

Sicily, thank you. There was a partial resumption

:20:49.:20:53.

of campaigning in the general election today as the leader

:20:54.:20:55.

of Ukip, Paul Nuttall, launched But it was overshadowed

:20:56.:20:57.

by the party's accusation that Theresa May bore "some

:20:58.:21:01.

responsibility" for The Home Secretary, Amber Rudd,

:21:02.:21:02.

said it was not the time Our political editor, Laura

:21:03.:21:07.

Kuenssberg, reports. But Ukip's manifesto

:21:08.:21:16.

was hardly a quiet affair, the party accusing Theresa May

:21:17.:21:19.

of playing a part in creating the circumstances that

:21:20.:21:21.

led to Monday's attack. The Prime Minister has,

:21:22.:21:27.

during her time in high office, presided over cuts to our police

:21:28.:21:29.

service and reductions It is also a dereliction

:21:30.:21:31.

of duty to allow jihadis He's promising thousands of extra

:21:32.:21:38.

police, soldiers and border guards. But his supporters jeered reporters

:21:39.:21:49.

questioning the party's claims. It sounds like you're nearest damit

:21:50.:21:53.

blaming the Prime Minister for this attack and the circumstances that

:21:54.:22:03.

led to it? Can I ask you - Don't

:22:04.:22:06.

you understand English? But as for blaming her personally

:22:07.:22:16.

for the attack, absolutely not, What I am saying is that

:22:17.:22:21.

the politicians in this country are too cowardly at the moment

:22:22.:22:24.

to actually face up Yet the Deputy Chair did say

:22:25.:22:27.

Theresa May must bear I think all politicians who voted

:22:28.:22:30.

for the reduction of spending in the security services and indeed

:22:31.:22:34.

with the police have to bear some So the Prime Minister, in your view,

:22:35.:22:37.

must bear some responsibility. All politicians you voted

:22:38.:22:41.

for a reduction on spending on the security services and indeed

:22:42.:22:47.

the police, must look Ukip's been struggling to keep pace

:22:48.:22:49.

since the EU vote last year, but in Clacton today -

:22:50.:22:55.

the only place ever to choose a Ukip MP -

:22:56.:22:57.

today's tougher approach I think all the borders need to be

:22:58.:22:59.

closed off at the minute. They're cutting down

:23:00.:23:07.

the polices force, the army Yet for other politicians,

:23:08.:23:10.

it's just too soon. I think it's entirely

:23:11.:23:16.

the wrong approach. What we're trying to do now

:23:17.:23:18.

is support the police, the Intelligence Services and,

:23:19.:23:20.

of course, the victims. We need to make sure that they get

:23:21.:23:22.

all the support they need. This is not a time

:23:23.:23:25.

for making political. You are feeding the fears that

:23:26.:23:27.

are causing the problems Ukip deliberately wants to be seen

:23:28.:23:30.

as the party that's ready Out first on the stump today

:23:31.:23:36.

since the Manchester attack, but challenging extremism has been

:23:37.:23:42.

notably absent from But voters have been

:23:43.:23:44.

moving away from Ukip. Today's figures show

:23:45.:23:52.

immigration is down, mainly due to fewer EU citizens

:23:53.:23:55.

moving here and more packing their bags and, of course,

:23:56.:23:57.

we are all on our way out of the EU. Perhaps, Ukip today

:23:58.:24:01.

is just trying to keep up. Laura, election campaigning is just

:24:02.:24:08.

resuming and already today Well, the context really of all of

:24:09.:24:19.

this has changed. Into this new frame, Jeremy Corbyn will step

:24:20.:24:23.

tomorrow, with his first major campaign as things nationally get

:24:24.:24:26.

back under way. He will make a speech about his values and British

:24:27.:24:31.

values and his own version of patriotism and he will praise the

:24:32.:24:35.

work of the emergency services in Manchester and promise alsos to

:24:36.:24:39.

restore the cuts that have been made to police budgets. He will go

:24:40.:24:43.

further than that. He will talk about foreign policies too. He will

:24:44.:24:47.

state his view that the war on terror has failed and that our

:24:48.:24:51.

foreign policy abroad has rather than reducing the threat here at

:24:52.:24:54.

home, it has actually made it more dangerous. He will absolutely

:24:55.:25:00.

explicity say it does not justify the actions of any individual

:25:01.:25:05.

terrorist, it does not justify the horror of what happened this week.

:25:06.:25:12.

He will be quite clear, that, in his view, Britain's war abroad has made

:25:13.:25:16.

things more not less dangerous. His team are aware it's a controversial

:25:17.:25:19.

argument to make right now when the reality of what's happened is still

:25:20.:25:23.

so raw. It's not the first time that Jeremy Corbyn has made this case.

:25:24.:25:28.

He's held this belief for quite some time. None the less, they are

:25:29.:25:32.

prepared for a barrage of criticism tomorrow when he gives this speech,

:25:33.:25:36.

but those people around Jeremy Corbyn and Jeremy Corbyn himself, I

:25:37.:25:41.

think, believe that it would be dishonest, perhaps, and certainly

:25:42.:25:45.

not giving a full picture to have a proper debate about why this

:25:46.:25:50.

happened and how it could be prevented in the future without

:25:51.:25:54.

looking at the whole situation. And, for them, that includes Britain's

:25:55.:25:59.

wars abroad. Laura Kuenssberg, at Westminster, thank you.

:26:00.:26:07.

A brief look at some of the day's other news stories.

:26:08.:26:10.

The former ITV weather presenter, Fred Talbot, has been found guilty

:26:11.:26:13.

of indecently assaulting seven boys in the 1970s and 80s.

:26:14.:26:15.

At the time, Talbot was a teacher at a grammar school

:26:16.:26:18.

The assaults occurred during camping and boating trips in Scotland.

:26:19.:26:21.

Talbot, previously jailed for five years for two other assaults,

:26:22.:26:23.

The Court of Appeal has ruled that doctors can stop providing

:26:24.:26:27.

life-support treatment to a nine-month-old baby who has

:26:28.:26:29.

Charlie Gard's parents raised more than ?1 million

:26:30.:26:32.

to take him to America for experimental treatment.

:26:33.:26:35.

But the judges agreed with Great Ormond Street Hospital,

:26:36.:26:37.

in London, that it was in Charlie's best interests to give him

:26:38.:26:40.

Conservative plans to give a free breakfast to every primary school

:26:41.:26:47.

child in England could cost three times more than the

:26:48.:26:49.

Independent experts say the manifesto pledge of ?60 million

:26:50.:26:55.

doesn't take into account all the different costs involved.

:26:56.:27:03.

Back to our main story, and the Manchester attack.

:27:04.:27:05.

The sudden wave of casualties rushed into eight hospitals on Monday night

:27:06.:27:08.

across Greater Manchester put the health service under intense

:27:09.:27:11.

pressure, but off-duty medical staff rushed in to help those already

:27:12.:27:13.

Our reporter, Sima Kotecha, has been speaking to one of the nurses

:27:14.:27:19.

When we found out it was a children's concert, it was...

:27:20.:27:31.

I'm a mum and I've got kids, daughters etc,

:27:32.:27:40.

we've been to concerts, we've been to the MEN.

:27:41.:27:44.

And to know that they were frightened, to know

:27:45.:27:44.

that people were lost, to know that my colleagues

:27:45.:27:48.

in the emergency services that were on the scene,

:27:49.:27:50.

to see what we saw by the time they came here, to know

:27:51.:27:53.

that they were dealing with that at the scene, it makes

:27:54.:27:56.

Charlotte was on duty the night a bomb ripped

:27:57.:27:59.

She was working at Stepping Hill Hospital, one of eight in the region

:28:00.:28:03.

My job on that night is to ensure the safety and wellbeing

:28:04.:28:12.

of the patients and staff, ensuring everybody had

:28:13.:28:14.

what they needed in order to care for the patients that

:28:15.:28:17.

It was only hours later the enormity of what happened began to sink in.

:28:18.:28:23.

I cried a lot when I got home for the people that I knew whose

:28:24.:28:26.

I cried a lot for the people whose lives had been changed in ways

:28:27.:28:31.

that they could never go back to normal after this.

:28:32.:28:38.

I cried for the potential, you know, my children,

:28:39.:28:44.

Do they need to be frightened going to school tomorrow?

:28:45.:28:49.

Hospital staff here have support available.

:28:50.:28:50.

Someone to talk to when it gets too much.

:28:51.:28:55.

Even though this is what they're hired to do,

:28:56.:28:59.

the full impact of what they've witnessed is yet to be felt.

:29:00.:29:02.

The atrocity that they saw that night, I know they close their eyes

:29:03.:29:08.

and they see those pictures, as do I, and trying to get that out

:29:09.:29:15.

of your head when you need to come back to work

:29:16.:29:17.

That was Charlotte Brownhill speaking to our

:29:18.:29:21.

And finally, 50 years ago today, Celtic became the first British

:29:22.:29:27.

football club to win the European Cup.

:29:28.:29:30.

The team became known as the Lisbon Lions.

:29:31.:29:33.

As our special correspondent Allan Little reports,

:29:34.:29:35.

that victory in Portugal still carries a symbolic importance

:29:36.:29:37.

The home movie is 50 years old, it captures

:29:38.:29:48.

a moment in history, far, far weightier than

:29:49.:29:50.

I had to go and get a temporary passport.

:29:51.:29:55.

Jim McGugan was at the match, he shot these pictures.

:29:56.:29:59.

Celtic was founded 130 years ago as the team of Glasgow's large

:30:00.:30:02.

It still finds its most loyal support there.

:30:03.:30:07.

For decades, that community suffered systematic workplace discrimination

:30:08.:30:11.

in a Scotland still shaped by its Protestantism.

:30:12.:30:15.

It was like Scotland's dirty little secret,

:30:16.:30:18.

that was never quite spoken about, but everybody knew

:30:19.:30:22.

The 1967 European Cup Final coincided with a moment

:30:23.:30:26.

when Scotland and this community's place in it began to change.

:30:27.:30:33.

This is a narrative throughout a whole generation of young Celtic

:30:34.:30:36.

supporters who grew up and said those men there are symbols,

:30:37.:30:42.

you know, and we look up to them and say -

:30:43.:30:45.

we can be - and not certainly as football players -

:30:46.:30:47.

but we can emulate them in other ways and in other walks of life,

:30:48.:30:50.

and that's all what we all grew up wanting to do.

:30:51.:30:56.

COMMENTATOR: Inter Milan kick off, and in a continental

:30:57.:30:58.

Celtic went to Lisbon to take on the mighty Inter Milan,

:30:59.:31:08.

the team carried the hopes of a community shaped

:31:09.:31:13.

50 years on, this place, Celtic Park, remains a focus

:31:14.:31:14.

I was born nine months and three days later.

:31:15.:31:19.

So, you know, read into that what you may.

:31:20.:31:21.

I am absolutely a child of Lisbon and I feel really proud

:31:22.:31:25.

about that because our family, our environment, our community

:31:26.:31:29.

was very much based around that platform.

:31:30.:31:32.

You know, so I look at footage of Lisbon and I almost feel part

:31:33.:31:36.

of it, even though I know I wasn't there, but I look at it

:31:37.:31:39.

At the final whistle the score was 2-1, Celtic became the first

:31:40.:31:44.

British club to win the European Cup.

:31:45.:31:47.

In the decades that lay ahead, Scotland's Irish Catholics

:31:48.:31:50.

would emerge from their entrenched disadvantage and inequality.

:31:51.:31:54.

Scotland's leading historian is himself from an Irish

:31:55.:31:56.

We weren't exactly an underclass, but we were pretty close to it.

:31:57.:32:02.

This team was the sporting champion of that ethnicity.

:32:03.:32:05.

That was probably almost as significant as the visit

:32:06.:32:09.

of the Pope to Scotland, first ever visit

:32:10.:32:11.

It was, if you like, a stage in their emancipation.

:32:12.:32:17.

That is why these flickering images resonate so powerfully,

:32:18.:32:19.

Tonight, Jeremy Corbyn restarts the election campaign with an attack

:32:20.:32:40.

on foreign policy which he says fuels rather than fights terrorism.

:32:41.:32:43.

The war on terror is not working, according to the Labour leader.

:32:44.:32:46.

We're examining that now, on BBC Two.

:32:47.:32:47.

Here, on BBC One, it's time for the news where you are.
