:00:56. > :01:01.We'll be talking to others who knew Abedi and asking why the police

:01:38. > :02:05.officer says they have captured a large part of the network involved

:02:06. > :02:08.in the Manchester Arena attack, Mark Rowley said immense progress

:02:09. > :02:13.had been made in the investigation - but there were still important lines

:02:14. > :02:18.to pursue and arrests to be made. He also disclosed that police have

:02:19. > :02:20.reviewed security arrangements at more than 1,000 events around

:02:21. > :02:22.the country this He said people should go out

:02:23. > :02:27.as planned and be reassured Our home affairs correspondent

:02:28. > :02:33.Daniel Sandford reports. An already vast investigation,

:02:34. > :02:37.still expanding. Each day, counter-terrorism

:02:38. > :02:38.detectives raid more properties in Manchester,

:02:39. > :02:40.cutting through the shutters at this The shop owner, Abs Forjani,

:02:41. > :02:49.is a cousin of the Manchester bomber who was arrested earlier

:02:50. > :02:51.in the week, with two Police also raided another house

:02:52. > :02:58.in the middle of the night, bringing the number of people

:02:59. > :03:00.in custody to nine, all men, mostly Libyan,

:03:01. > :03:07.and aged between 18 and 38. They're very significant,

:03:08. > :03:09.these arrests. We are very happy we have our hands

:03:10. > :03:13.around some of the key players There is still a little

:03:14. > :03:16.bit more to do. The bomber, Salman Abedi,

:03:17. > :03:18.came back to Manchester Renting a flat in this block,

:03:19. > :03:22.he had already bought many of the ingredients

:03:23. > :03:25.for his lethal device. It was here that Salman Abedi

:03:26. > :03:28.spent his last weekend, putting his bomb together,

:03:29. > :03:32.making the final preparations to attack a concert

:03:33. > :03:37.full of teenage girls. About three months earlier, before

:03:38. > :03:42.he went to Libya for the last time, Abedi rented a flat in this block,

:03:43. > :03:46.being pored over by forensics officers this week as

:03:47. > :03:48.a possible bomb factory. This evening, his friend told

:03:49. > :03:53.the BBC what Aiman found A piece of metal in the bathroom

:03:54. > :04:01.and electricity switched off, He can smell a strong,

:04:02. > :04:06.strong, strong smell coming Aiman told me, I think it's

:04:07. > :04:14.like diesel, like petrol, Detectives say they've made very

:04:15. > :04:22.significant finds and, crucially, believe they have captured a large

:04:23. > :04:27.part of his terrorist network. We have seized thousands of exhibits

:04:28. > :04:32.which are now being assessed. I think it's fair to say there has

:04:33. > :04:34.been enormous progress with the investigation

:04:35. > :04:36.but still an awful Police have found bomb-making

:04:37. > :04:41.material, but because of concerns about what might still be out there,

:04:42. > :04:43.the threat level will The public can expect much higher

:04:44. > :04:48.security at the 1,300 events We mustn't let this

:04:49. > :04:55.terrible terrorist incident Let's carry on this weekend,

:04:56. > :05:00.this bank holiday weekend, A weekend in which armed officers

:05:01. > :05:06.will be patrolling on trains. Detectives investigating

:05:07. > :05:08.Monday's shocking attack are growing in confidence,

:05:09. > :05:11.but for now, going into one of the most important

:05:12. > :05:13.weekends of the summer, More details have been emerging

:05:14. > :05:25.about the bomber Salman Abedi. The BBC has spoken to a former

:05:26. > :05:28.friend who said Abedi's behaviour Abedi attended Didsbury mosque,

:05:29. > :05:36.where his attitude raised concerns. Tonight the chairman insisted

:05:37. > :05:38.the police were tipped off, but also admitted that mistakes may

:05:39. > :05:41.have been made. Our special correspondent

:05:42. > :05:45.Ed Thomas reports. The Manchester home,

:05:46. > :05:58.the family and the need to know why. Ramadan Abedi, a father who allowed

:05:59. > :06:00.his children to fight on the front line in Libya.

:06:01. > :06:02.His son, Hashim, suspected of supporting so-called Islamic State.

:06:03. > :06:06.And then Salman Abedi, the suicide bomber who murdered in his own city.

:06:07. > :06:14.I met him at the mosque. He just prayed, and that was it. He stayed

:06:15. > :06:19.after for a bit, an extra five or ten minutes. This is his friend.

:06:20. > :06:22.They played football together, supporting Manchester United. Now

:06:23. > :06:28.he's too scared to show his face and says over the past six months Salman

:06:29. > :06:33.Abedi changed. You could tell there was something up with him, something

:06:34. > :06:36.was bugging him. It came to a point when he didn't listen to music any

:06:37. > :06:42.more, didn't think about girls, if there was a nice track on, I said,

:06:43. > :06:48.let's put this track on, he says, we should listen to music, it's the

:06:49. > :06:52.devil. Even if you would do bad things, sell weed, alcohol, as long

:06:53. > :06:55.as you are praying, keep it up, you can still get forgiven. He knows

:06:56. > :07:02.himself, doing what he did, he will go to hell. I don't know why he did

:07:03. > :07:05.it. The BBC has been told that Salman Abedi fought in Libya against

:07:06. > :07:13.the Gaddafi regime when he was just 16. He wasn't a alone. Alongside

:07:14. > :07:21.him, his brother, hash, Young men, guided by their father, Ramadan. He

:07:22. > :07:26.was a good fighter, he was fighting to die. This man met all of them in

:07:27. > :07:32.2011 and 14 the front line with Ramadan Abedi, so-called foreign

:07:33. > :07:38.fighters in the Manchester Brigade. 70% of them were from the north of

:07:39. > :07:42.England. People that went to fight? Did the security sources ever try to

:07:43. > :07:46.stop you from going? From leaving the country? No. Even though they

:07:47. > :07:51.could see what we were taking, ambulances, satellite phones, some

:07:52. > :07:55.people even brought laser-guided sites. The BBC has also learned of

:07:56. > :08:02.allegations that the Manchester bomber's father met the radical

:08:03. > :08:07.cleric Abu Qatada in London. On Facebook, he is alleged to have

:08:08. > :08:14.praised fighters allied with Al-Qaeda in Syria. He denies

:08:15. > :08:18.supporting Islamic extremism. A lot of Libyans, Arabs and Muslims, they

:08:19. > :08:23.don't believe you can be Muslim and a British citizen. He knew Ramadan

:08:24. > :08:28.Abedi. He said that fighting in Libya changed him. He believes in

:08:29. > :08:33.jihad values. If you see what he is thinking about Libya, what he has

:08:34. > :08:39.written about Libya, he believes in jihad. Says the Manchester attack,

:08:40. > :08:44.the BBC has asked for an interview with trustees of the mosque where

:08:45. > :08:51.the Abedi family prayed. Today, we were united in. Did anybody report

:08:52. > :08:58.this young man? Indeed, one of the imams reported this person. We were

:08:59. > :09:02.not aware, it was a private matter. He didn't tell anybody inside the

:09:03. > :09:06.mosque? That has to be a worry. It has to be a worry because as

:09:07. > :09:12.trustees we should, I suppose, know what is going on. You suppose? The

:09:13. > :09:15.reason I say I suppose, if he reported him because he had

:09:16. > :09:19.information which we do not, it is between him and the counterterrorism

:09:20. > :09:28.police. I have not really spoken to him since. Not the Imam who noticed

:09:29. > :09:31.him first to find out more information? I don't have

:09:32. > :09:36.information, I don't need information, I am not responsible.

:09:37. > :09:40.When he passes the responsibility onto the counterterrorism police,

:09:41. > :09:43.who, as we all know, have been carrying out surveillance on the

:09:44. > :09:48.suspect. It is not my responsibility any more. The responsibility has

:09:49. > :09:50.been shifted to the police and to the security services.

:09:51. > :09:56.Counterterrorism investigators will not comment if any warnings were

:09:57. > :09:59.sent, if Salman Abedi could have been stopped from taking 22 lives.

:10:00. > :10:02.Ed Thomas, BBC News, Manchester. Let's go back to our Home Affairs

:10:03. > :10:05.correspondent Daniel Sandford. A picture is building up

:10:06. > :10:07.about the bomber himself. In terms of the wider investigation,

:10:08. > :10:10.why do you think police are so confident they've got most

:10:11. > :10:19.of his network? Well, we have watched in Manchester

:10:20. > :10:24.this week as, bit by bit, detectives have pieced this case together. We

:10:25. > :10:28.saw them first of all arrest the bomber's brother, then his cousins,

:10:29. > :10:31.and then a wider network of associates. Ultimately, some of them

:10:32. > :10:36.might be set free without charge. We have also watched search teams

:10:37. > :10:40.bursting into property after property and, slowly, we have seen

:10:41. > :10:43.detectives growing in confidence. They have found most of what they

:10:44. > :10:48.are looking for. So, why is the threat level still at critical? I

:10:49. > :10:52.think the simple answer is that nobody wants to take a risk, nobody

:10:53. > :10:55.wants to jump too soon and take risks with a bank holiday packed

:10:56. > :11:01.with so many high-profile events like the FA Cup final. Many thanks.

:11:02. > :11:03.Jeremy Corbyn has placed tackling terror at the centre

:11:04. > :11:05.of an election campaign speech, his first since

:11:06. > :11:09.He declared that the war on terror is not working -

:11:10. > :11:11.and pledged to change British foreign policy if Labour

:11:12. > :11:14.were to win the election, to reduce the threat to the country.

:11:15. > :11:16.Political opponents have criticised the timing of his speech,

:11:17. > :11:20.Our political correspondent Vicki Young's report contains flash

:11:21. > :11:29.Jeremy Corbyn knows that this is a sensitive time.

:11:30. > :11:32.After a terrorist atrocity, the Labour leader restarted his

:11:33. > :11:33.election campaign today, joining a silent tribute

:11:34. > :11:39.But the Labour leader didn't backtrack from long-held

:11:40. > :11:42.views on foreign policy, making his case that it's time

:11:43. > :11:48.Many experts, including professionals in our intelligence

:11:49. > :11:51.and security services, have pointed out the connections

:11:52. > :11:54.between wars that we have been involved in, or supported and fought

:11:55. > :12:03.in, in other countries, such as Libya, and terrorism here at home.

:12:04. > :12:05.That assessment in no way reduces the guilt of those

:12:06. > :12:14.Stressing his patriotism, Mr Corbyn repeatedly emphasised that

:12:15. > :12:20.And he had a direct message for Britain's soldiers.

:12:21. > :12:24.I want to assure you that under my leadership,

:12:25. > :12:29.you will only be deployed abroad when there is a clear need,

:12:30. > :12:32.and only when there is a plan that you have the resources

:12:33. > :12:38.to do your job and secure an outcome that delivers lasting peace.

:12:39. > :12:41.Mr Corbyn promised that a Labour government would give the security

:12:42. > :12:43.services the money they required, and cuts to police budgets

:12:44. > :12:51.The issue of security could dominate the rest of this election campaign

:12:52. > :12:54.and today Jeremy Corbyn has repeated views he has held for decades that

:12:55. > :12:57.military action abroad has made the UK less safe.

:12:58. > :13:00.To others, that sounds like an excuse for terrorism.

:13:01. > :13:03.Senior Conservatives were quick to hit out at the Labour leader,

:13:04. > :13:09.This has been caused not by us, as Jeremy Corbyn

:13:10. > :13:14.It's been caused by a sick ideology, a perverted version of Islam, that

:13:15. > :13:24.To say anything now to legitimate or justify those who have carried

:13:25. > :13:31.out the atrocity in Manchester is, in my view, absolutely obscene.

:13:32. > :13:33.The arguments have returned and so have election

:13:34. > :13:38.The SNP leader condemned the Manchester attack but said

:13:39. > :13:41.politicians shouldn't shy away from debate.

:13:42. > :13:45.Bombing campaigns, whether in Syria or Libya, without a coherent

:13:46. > :13:47.strategy to tackle the underlying problems there, often hinder rather

:13:48. > :13:57.These are the things we need to debate, and debate vigorously.

:13:58. > :13:59.This evening, Mr Corbyn faced more questions,

:14:00. > :14:12.There were also questions about links with the IRA. Why would the

:14:13. > :14:17.British people want us their leader in and that for years supported the

:14:18. > :14:21.IRA? I did not support the IRA, I don't support the IRA. What I want

:14:22. > :14:28.everywhere is a peace process, decency and human rights. Did you

:14:29. > :14:35.tell them to stop the bombing? I didn't meet the IRA, I obviously did

:14:36. > :14:38.meet people from Sinn Fein. How the country protect its citizens is now

:14:39. > :14:40.likely to be on the agenda for the rest of the campaign.

:14:41. > :14:43.At the G7 summit in Sicily, Theresa May accused Jeremy Corbyn

:14:44. > :14:48.Earlier, she told world leaders that more needs to be done to tackle

:14:49. > :14:50.foreign fighters returning from conflicts in the Middle East,

:14:51. > :14:53.and called for pressure on technology companies to remove

:14:54. > :14:57.extremist material from the internet.

:14:58. > :15:00.From Sicily, our deputy political editor John Pienaar reports.

:15:01. > :15:09.Some loving the spotlight - Britain's leader, keen to use it.

:15:10. > :15:15.Hard to move, let alone grab attention here.

:15:16. > :15:17.You could just see Mrs May behind Donald Trump.

:15:18. > :15:19.But after the Manchester attack, she was keen to lead

:15:20. > :15:24.Mrs May urged leaders to do more against online extremism,

:15:25. > :15:27.to get web companies to identify and block harmful content,

:15:28. > :15:33.She wanted action against terrorists stepped up.

:15:34. > :15:36.Today, G7 leaders have joined Britain in condemning this

:15:37. > :16:07.Prime Minister, what do you say to those that argue that British

:16:08. > :16:09.Let's be very clear on peace funding that we have protected

:16:10. > :16:10.counter-terrorism police funding. We've increased the funding for our

:16:11. > :16:13.security and intelligence agencies and we continue to provide them with

:16:14. > :16:17.the support they need. I've been here fighting terrorism. At the same

:16:18. > :16:20.time, Jeremy Corbyn has said terror attacks in Britain are our own fault

:16:21. > :16:24.and I want to make one thing very clear. There can never, ever be an

:16:25. > :16:30.excuse for terrorism. No-one imagines there are easy

:16:31. > :16:32.answers to terrorism, here at this As party campaigning resumes,

:16:33. > :16:35.the differences are profound. Mrs May won't want to be

:16:36. > :16:37.accused of exploiting this She will want British voters

:16:38. > :16:41.to judge she's the one best qualified to lead the party

:16:42. > :16:43.and the country. At the summit working session,

:16:44. > :16:45.agreement to cooperate Even leaders who don't always

:16:46. > :16:50.get on managed it here. Mrs May suggested more help

:16:51. > :16:53.for countries in conflict zones The summit statement,

:16:54. > :16:58.pledging countries to do more and to do more together,

:16:59. > :17:04.was duly signed and sealed. Thank you to everybody sitting

:17:05. > :17:07.round a table for the support that you have shown to the United Kingdom

:17:08. > :17:10.in the face of this absolutely Sticking together on an issue

:17:11. > :17:20.like terrorism is a must for leaders at a big summit,

:17:21. > :17:23.and it's not just for show. But dealing with a problem like this

:17:24. > :17:27.takes complex solutions, time and patience to tackle a threat

:17:28. > :17:30.that will continue long, long after big set occasions

:17:31. > :17:33.like this one have come and gone. John Pienaar, BBC News,

:17:34. > :17:41.the G7 in Sicily. Well, we've heard differing claims

:17:42. > :17:43.about police numbers And this week's bombing has

:17:44. > :17:48.again raised questions about government strategy,

:17:49. > :17:50.and whether it has the right powers to deal with those

:17:51. > :17:53.who pose a potential risk. The murder of Lee Rigby in Woolwich,

:17:54. > :18:03.2013, prompted David Cameron to reshape his

:18:04. > :18:10.counterterrorism strategy. Will be absolutely resolute

:18:11. > :18:12.in its stand against The focus was on home grown

:18:13. > :18:15.extremism, with public sector to inform police if they thought

:18:16. > :18:19.someone was displaying The Government set up an extremism

:18:20. > :18:23.task force and proposed a counter-extremism bill,

:18:24. > :18:25.with tough powers against anyone deemed

:18:26. > :18:28.to be an But the legislation now looks

:18:29. > :18:31.unlikely ever to happen because ministers struggled

:18:32. > :18:35.to define extremism, and concerns the approach fosters

:18:36. > :18:38.suspicion and distrust in largely The terror attacks in Paris in 2015

:18:39. > :18:51.sent a shockwave across Europe. In the UK, ministers responded

:18:52. > :18:55.by announcing an extra 1,900 spies and 1,000 more

:18:56. > :18:59.police firearms officers. We have been building the capability

:19:00. > :19:04.of police here in the UK to respond. But the number of firearms officers

:19:05. > :19:10.is actually 1,300 lower than 2010. The attack in Westminster last March

:19:11. > :19:14.once again focused concerns on keeping track of individuals

:19:15. > :19:19.known to have radical views. There were questions as to why

:19:20. > :19:21.people like the murderer, Khalid Masood, couldn't be monitored

:19:22. > :19:25.and, if necessary, detained. Security services have 3,000 people

:19:26. > :19:29.under investigation in active operations but only seven people

:19:30. > :19:32.have their movements restricted The courts take a dim view

:19:33. > :19:38.of limiting people's freedom if they haven't been convicted

:19:39. > :19:43.of a crime. The dreadful bombing in Manchester

:19:44. > :19:46.was followed by claims that cuts to policing may have contributed

:19:47. > :19:49.to the attack - an accusation emphatically

:19:50. > :19:53.denied by the Government. Ring fenced money for the police's

:19:54. > :19:56.counterterrorism effort has increased over the last few years,

:19:57. > :20:02.from ?594 million in 2015/16, But that doesn't tell the whole

:20:03. > :20:09.story, because that money comes out Central government money for police

:20:10. > :20:17.has actually fallen 25% since 2010. In Greater Manchester,

:20:18. > :20:20.police counterterrorism funding is up ?6 million but the force

:20:21. > :20:24.says its overall budget must Spotting, monitoring

:20:25. > :20:29.and neutralising the threat from home-grown terrorists is partly

:20:30. > :20:33.about resources, of course. But it's also about creating

:20:34. > :20:36.a society where such an ideology All of those who died in Monday's

:20:37. > :20:47.attack have now been named. The 22nd victim was

:20:48. > :20:51.15-year-old Megan Hurley. Danny Savage reports

:20:52. > :20:55.from Manchester now, on a community grieving for lost

:20:56. > :21:02.family and friends. In central Manchester today,

:21:03. > :21:05.people queued to buy flowers Many are at a loss

:21:06. > :21:10.about what's happened - It was inconceivable

:21:11. > :21:16.to try and understand how the families are feeling,

:21:35. > :21:37.less and less and less, you still had some hope

:21:38. > :21:41.there would be something. And when you actually got the call

:22:31. > :22:36.will suffer the same. There is a very sombre

:22:37. > :22:38.and respectful atmosphere here. It may be four days since

:22:39. > :22:41.the atrocity, but that really is just the blink of an eye,

:22:42. > :22:44.and people here are still just trying to come to terms

:22:59. > :23:06.neither the Conservatives nor Labour are being honest over their tax

:23:07. > :23:09.and spending plans - that's according to economists

:23:10. > :23:12.from an influential think tank. The Institute for Fiscal Studies

:23:13. > :23:16.says the Tory pledge to slash immigration would cost billions,

:23:17. > :23:19.and there's "no way" Labour's spending plans could just be

:23:20. > :23:27.funded by businesses Here's our economics

:23:28. > :23:37.editor, Kamal Ahmed. One says they will have a fairer

:23:38. > :23:44.economy with strict control on spending, the other spending on

:23:45. > :23:48.public services. Today, a damning conclusion, neither is being

:23:49. > :23:51.straight. The Tories were the first in the dock. They would continue

:23:52. > :23:54.cutting day-to-day spending by the state. They have a settlement for

:23:55. > :23:59.the NHS which is not that generous. They would be taking a risk with

:24:00. > :24:03.public services. Would they allow public services to deteriorate, or

:24:04. > :24:07.would they top their spending plans up? The IFS analysis says the Tories

:24:08. > :24:10.plan another tour Parliament of austerity with cuts in welfare

:24:11. > :24:17.spending, funding period so challenging for the in England is a

:24:18. > :24:19.question about whether it's deliverable, and cuts to per-pupil

:24:20. > :24:23.funding in schools also in England. The IFS also says the target of

:24:24. > :24:29.lower levels of immigration could damage the economy and the 1% public

:24:30. > :24:33.sector pay cap means the income gap between the private and public

:24:34. > :24:50.sector would be at its widest for decades. Now on the positive side,

:24:51. > :25:07.the IFS does argue the Tories are at least attempting to deal with the

:25:08. > :25:15.rising costs of an ageing society, with pension benefit reforms. Labour

:25:16. > :25:18.also faces some tough questions. The risk is the tax rises they would do

:25:19. > :25:20.won't bring in revenue they need for their spending plans. The estimate

:25:21. > :25:23.will be lower than the ?49 billion they want. The question is will they

:25:24. > :25:25.just not do some of the spending increases or would they do a

:25:26. > :25:27.different tax rise. Taxes would rise for businesses and those earning

:25:28. > :25:29.above ?80,000. The party's policies are likely to race just ?40 billion

:25:30. > :25:32.and many people, not just the rich, would be left worse off. Unlike the

:25:33. > :25:38.Tories, the IFS says Labour would do little to limit pension benefits and

:25:39. > :25:42.plan to fix the retirement age at 66 rather than letting it increase. The

:25:43. > :25:48.IFS suggests not increasing the pension age could cost ?30 billion

:25:49. > :25:51.by 2050. On the positive side, it does the Labour's plans to borrow

:25:52. > :25:59.for investment could boost the economy. Two parties, two approaches

:26:00. > :26:02.and now, a warning. When it comes to the manifesto details, voters

:26:03. > :26:03.beware. The promises may not work out as planned. Kamal Ahmed, BBC

:26:04. > :26:08.News. Egyptian fighter jets have been

:26:09. > :26:11.bombing sites in Libya tonight - where they say militants responsible

:26:12. > :26:13.for an attack on buses carrying 26 people - among them children -

:26:14. > :26:17.were killed in the attack. Witnesses said masked men stopped

:26:39. > :26:39.Smith's actions weren't clear but that he wasn't motivated by

:26:40. > :26:42.terrorism. We heard earlier in the programme

:26:43. > :26:46.about a mosque in Didsbury, Well, 12 years ago the focus

:26:47. > :26:50.was on Beeston in Leeds, where the extremists who carried out

:26:51. > :26:54.the 7/7 London bombings grew up. Our religious affairs

:27:37. > :27:44.since 7/7, for 12 years? Why do we have another terrorist

:27:45. > :27:48.attack in the UK after 12 years? In fact, local government

:27:49. > :27:51.and community leaders have committed significant resources to addressing

:27:52. > :27:55.the issue of extremism These young people are members

:27:56. > :28:03.of Leeds Muslim Youth Group. They offer voluntary

:28:04. > :28:05.service to the community and believe their faith

:28:06. > :28:09.inspires their action. For me as a Muslim I feel outrage

:28:10. > :28:13.that someone would use the name of my religion to then go

:28:14. > :28:17.and justify committing these acts. This is spreading and it

:28:18. > :28:20.doesn't look like it's stopping any time soon,

:28:21. > :28:22.which is scary for all of us, That's the number one thing,

:28:23. > :28:27.show people love and care, but because without that,

:28:28. > :28:30.we're not going to go anywhere. While the institutions of state,

:28:31. > :28:33.from schools to the security services, are focused on preventing

:28:34. > :28:36.violent extremism, I have to say worship places

:28:37. > :28:43.are responsible as well So you think some of the mosques

:28:44. > :28:50.in this country are responsible? I think mosque has to be

:28:51. > :28:56.monitored in the UK. The nation may therefore be left

:28:57. > :28:59.to rely upon religious leaders to fight back against the small

:29:00. > :29:04.but dangerous few who These young men who are committing

:29:05. > :29:10.terror on our soil or elsewhere, they do profess to belong

:29:11. > :29:13.to the Muslim community, so as a community we do

:29:14. > :29:17.have a responsibility to ask The Muslim community

:29:18. > :29:21.has been working with The Muslim community has

:29:22. > :29:26.actually repeatedly reported many of these perpetrators

:29:27. > :29:29.to the intelligence services. No one will harbour any kind

:29:30. > :29:33.of extremism knowingly Cooperation and community engagement

:29:34. > :29:39.remain the priorities, both here and at many other mosques

:30:09. > :30:16.used to competing in a stadium. This evening, though, the long jump

:30:17. > :30:20.was in front of the town hall. The games here have the go ahead,

:30:21. > :30:23.as does the Great Manchester Run this weekend - with extra security,

:30:24. > :30:27.and more police. Of course, there are some people

:30:28. > :30:30.that are nervous, some people The overwhelming feeling has been

:30:31. > :30:34.yes, we are delighted it's going ahead, we want to be involved,

:30:35. > :30:38.we want to demonstrate our solidarity, our support

:30:39. > :30:43.and our passion for the city. Leigh Webber is one of 30,000

:30:44. > :30:50.runners registered for the race. She says she's apprehensive,

:30:51. > :30:53.but determined to take part. Is not as if it's in a place

:30:54. > :30:55.where it everybody can be checked. I know that is a high

:30:56. > :30:58.risk in that way. But I think, to be honest,

:30:59. > :31:01.all we can do is just obviously hope This bank holiday weekend

:31:02. > :31:07.there are big events happening across the country,

:31:08. > :31:10.from Liverpool's Sound City Festival Security has been stepped up

:31:35. > :31:39.at Old Trafford cricket ground. The band know that some of those

:31:40. > :31:46.are now too worried to turn up. But I think it's important

:31:47. > :31:53.to get back on your feet Many of the band's fans

:31:54. > :31:58.say they are undaunted, like Mary and Dave, who travelled

:31:59. > :32:02.from Nottingham to Manchester My family were a bit

:32:03. > :32:06.worried, I must admit. The biggest fear to me
