A week on from the Manchester attack, police are urging anyone

with information about the bomber to get in touch.

It comes as the BBC obtained CCTV footage appearing to show

Salman Abedi shopping in a convenience store

the day before the attack, in which 22 people were killed.

Police have released an image of him with a blue suitcase and have

appealed for anyone who might have seen him with it in

the four days leading up to the bombing to come forward.

Here's our home affairs correspondent, June Kelly.

A young man in a hooded top, jogging pants and trainers,

In this footage obtained by the BBC, he looks relaxed as he is captured

on CCTV, browsing the shelves of a Manchester convenience store.

His till receipt shows he spent ?8.74 and he bought almonds, tuna,

And staff in the shop believe this was Salman Abedi.

Looking at that CCTV, it is the same guy that has been

in the shop several times in the past.

He looks exactly like the guy that they're saying

After a general election campaign, dominated in the last few days

by the issue of security, the debate stepped up a gear tonight

with Theresa May and Jeremy Corbyn taking questions from a studio

audience - and facing a grilling by Jeremy Paxman.

Both party leaders faced tough questions on Brexit,

on public spending, and on security, as our political correspondent,

A smile on arrival. But she knows what's at stake. This time in ten

days, the country will have decided - does she stay in Downing Street?

Could he get the keys to Number Ten? Tonight, both took part in a

televised grilling, trying to prove they've got what it takes. First,

the Labour leader faced questions from the audience. He was asked

immediately about his approach to foreign policy and security and his

stance on the IRA. You have openly supported the IRA in the past. I can

give you an example. Attending a commemoration for the eight IRA men

killed at loch Goole. In your words it was to honour them. Maybe you can

share with the electorate why those IRA men were actually killed. The

commemoration I think you're referring to was a meeting I was at

in London, where there was a period of silence for everyone who had died

in Northern Ireland. The contribution I made to that meeting

was to call for a peace and dialogue process in Northern Ireland. It's

only by dialogue and process we have brought about the peace in Northern

Ireland. Next quizzed on immigration, Brexit, his leadership

skills and policies. This country is badly divided between the richest

and the poorest. You put corporate tax and tax at the top end down, the

division gets greater. Are you happy that so many of our children are

going to school with super sized classes? So many of our children are

going to school hungry. In a one-to-one interview he was asked

whether he had authorised a drone strike. I think you have to look at

all the evidence that's there. You can't answer a hypothetical question

about the evidence around it. It's not really hypothetical. It's a

completly -- completely hypothetical question. Then it was Theresa May's

turn. She's avoided head-to-head debates with other party leaders.

Tonight she was asked about her plans to shake up social care

funding. Why, Prime Minister, should we, in my generation, vote for you?

So what happens is people are paying for care, people are finding that

they are having to sell their house, many people are having to sell their

house to pay those care bills. And many find that they're not able to

leave money to their families. Now I want to take those risks away and

that's what the proposals I've put forward are about. It's about

ensuring that nobody is going to have to sell their house to pay for

care in their lifetime. She confirmed there would be a cap on

care costs, but refused to say what it would be, before being asked

about health funding, police funding and school funding. Nobody can

guarantee the real terms per pupil funding increase. The Labour Party's

manifesto we know the figures don't add up. What is important is that as

we look... LAUGHTER

What we need to do is to ensure we will put those record levels of

funding into schools. The Prime Minister's been keen to talk Brexit

and got her chance, challenged about backing Remain during the campaign.

You have changed your mind, have you? We gave people the choice. You

changed your mind. I'll answer that in a I. -- a minute. The British

people decided to leave the European Union. I think it's important for

them to see their politicians delivering on that choice and

respecting the will of the people. Back stage, the big hitters were

out. Trying to down play shaky moments and talk up their

candidates. But what they think matters little. The only verdict

that counts - the vote in just ten days' time.

Let's join our political correspondent who's outside the

debate studio for us now. Ben, it's ten days till the election, this was

effectively a resetting of the respective campaigns, how did they

do? Yeah, that's right. It's just finished in the last couple of

minutes, the event here. It did feel as if the election was being

rebooted. I think coming into this, the two party leaders had several

aims, number one, to land their core campaign messages, secondly, in

front of a live studio audience, avoid any gaffe, any embarrassing,

awkward skirmish with a member of the audience. Number three, as Alex

said, convince undecided voters, who are weighing up their choice. I

think Jeremy Corbyn had a particular challenge to look Prime Ministerial.

In polls he clearly lags behind Theresa May when it comes to this

question of leadership. I think team Corbyn will have been pleased with

how he came across. He was assured, he was confident. He wasn't rattled

by the potentially difficult questions, around his past

relationship with Sinn Fein or Hamas, for instance or how he would

or would not use the nuclear deterrent. On domestic issues. He

said he would like to see immigration come down but wouldn't

give a number. Theresa May's turn after that. It wasn't, as Alex said,

a harder encounter for the Prime Minister, perhaps not surprisingly

because the Tories have been in Government for seven years, so there

is a record to interrogate. She was asked about school funding, about

police numbers. It wasn't always ease yr for her. Nor was -- easy for

her. Nor was she thrown off course. She was asked about Brexit. She

wouldn't give a number in terms of how much to pay in terms of the

divorce bill. She restated her view that no deal would be better than a

bad deal, without explaining exactly what no deal would look like. As

they leave here, they'll both be pretty pleased. It didn't do either

of them any harm. Ben, many thanks. The chief executive

of British Airways, Alex Cruz, says he won't resign over the computer

failure which disrupted tens of thousands of people's travel over

the bank holiday weekend. In his first interview since the IT

crash, Mr Cruz apologised, saying a power surge had caused

computer failure and that a back-up BA services today returned

to normal at Gatwick, Our transport correspondent,

Richard Westcott, reports. How can a computer glitch be allowed

to cripple an entire airline? Spoilt holidays,

weddings, honeymoons. Three days in and the British

Airways boss has broken cover to give his first interview,

admitting their back-up The actual problem only

lasted a few minutes, so there was a power surge

and there was a back-up system which did not work at that

particular point in time. It was restored after a few hours

in terms of some hardware changes, but eventually it took a long time

for messaging and for Three days in and terminal five

the immediate problem and getting people on their aircraft,

it is going to take BA far longer to ease people's anger at the way

they handled the whole situation. The meltdown hit 75,000

passengers across the world, each with a different story,

but one main complaint. No-one was telling them

what was going on. You've got to do a lot better in

terms of communicating with people People accept there are problems

sometimes, that is the number one We are fully aware that

communications have to get better, particularly as social media

continues to expand. So, yes, I agree with you,

we will continue to invest in resources in ways in which we can

actually directly BA made hundreds of IT

staff redundant recently, outsourcing their jobs to India

to save money. It has led to accusations

that there are not enough experienced UK staff left to cope

with the crisis. Let me put this to Mr Cruz,

if there were still BA employees, we can assure him that issue

would have been resolved in minutes and the systems

would be up and running. When I put it to Mr Cruz,

he flatly denied that outsourcing So, totally unconnected,

completely unconnected with all of those redundancies

and with the outsourcing Apart from some short-haul

flights from Heathrow, BA managed to fly most

of its passengers today. Some still can't believe how badly

the airline messed up. I work in IT and when there are IT

problems it is basic enterprise to They should have had

their communications system and their booking system

to their reputation. Two years of war in Yemen have

created what the UN has described as the world's

largest humanitarian crisis. As well as impending famine,

the country is also facing an unprecedented

outbreak of cholera. In the past month,

52,000 cases of suspected cholera have been reported

and the World Health Organisation believes that figure could rise

to 300,000 within six months. There have been almost 500 reported

deaths in the past month alone, three times more

than during the previous six months. Our corrrespondent Nawal Al-Maghafi

has this special report on a devastating new crisis hitting

the people of Yemen. Frail, weak and fighting

for their lives. These are the faces of

Yemen's latest crisis. Preying on the weak

and hungry, cholera has rapidly spread

throughout the country. This hospital, already crippled

by war, is overwhelmed. This family arrived in the capital

in the city, but two days after moving here, their lives

are at risk again. TRANSLATION: The kids

has confirmed that a female zookeeper was killed in what's been

described as a "freak The park will be closed tomorrow,

while investigations continue, Police said the female zookeeper who

has not yet been named was mauled to death by one of the park's Tigers

inside their enclosure. It is not yet known exactly how. The park was

busy with bank holiday visitors. Those in the park were led away,

though some people said they were allowed back in for a short period

before the park was closed by zoo officials who later handed out a

short statement which said, this appears to have been a freak

accident. At no point during the incident did any animals escaped

their enclosures and at no point was public safety affected in any way.

Nine years ago a cheater escaped through a broker electric fence. It

was later captured nearby and no one was hurt. The forensic fans have

left and the police say there are no suspicious circumstances surrounding

what happened. A full investigation is under way in the zoo where this

evening the animals are being prepared for the night. The gates

are locked and the zoo says it will stay closed tomorrow.

Huddersfield Town have returned to the top division in English

football for the first time in 45 years.

They won the richest prize in the sport by beating Reading

on penalties in the Championship play-off final to earn promotion

The last game of the English season, arguably the most important,

certainly the most lucrative. At stake, the final place in next

season's Premier League, a prize worth at least ?170 million. A year

ago, Huddersfield and Reading looked more likely to be relegated than

promoted, but now a royal occasion to decide who would rise to

football's promised land. Huddersfield had been outside the

top tier since 1972 and their hopes were not helped by finishing like

this. It looked easy for easy brown to score rather than mess. Reading

tried their luck from further out but were no more successful. There

was barely anything to choose between these sides during the

regular season and nor could they be separated in regular time here, with

chances few and far between at either end. An extra 30 minutes

proved just as tight so penalties would be needed. And after Daniel

Ward saved this one, Christopher shriller -- Schindler made no

mistake to send them into dreamland. Their 45 year wait ended in the most

dramatic fashion. Reading have now lost four play-off finals in a row.

For Huddersfield it is glory and they can look forward to the Premier

League and the enormous rewards that come with it.
