The Home Secretary Amber Rudd says the Conservatives

:00:21.:00:24.

would set up a commission to tackle terrorism and hate crime and promote

:00:25.:00:27.

British values if they win the general election.

:00:28.:00:30.

Labour say they would put 10,000 police on the streets and match

:00:31.:00:34.

a Conservative pledge of an extra 1,000 security experts.

:00:35.:00:38.

But as new pictures are released of the Manchester bomber,

:00:39.:00:42.

Salman Abedi, the Home Secretary claimed she was unaware that several

:00:43.:00:45.

people had contacted police with concerns about his behaviour.

:00:46.:00:48.

Here's our political correspondent Matt Cole.

:00:49.:00:58.

Salman Abedi, the man who massacred children in Manchester, pictured on

:00:59.:01:03.

the night of the attack. But where had he been, who knew his plans and

:01:04.:01:08.

what happened when his friends alerted the security services about

:01:09.:01:12.

his extremism. Questions for the Home Secretary. Was Salman Abedi on

:01:13.:01:18.

a surveillance list? I don't know those details because the

:01:19.:01:22.

intelligence services are still collecting information about him and

:01:23.:01:26.

about the people around him. I wouldn't rush to conclusions, but

:01:27.:01:29.

you seem to be, that they miss something. People had phoned the

:01:30.:01:35.

terror hotline. As they should do. We will look to see what else we can

:01:36.:01:40.

do, the Prime Minister announced in our manifesto before this, there

:01:41.:01:45.

would be a commission for activism. That commission will include

:01:46.:01:48.

promoting British values to promote a narrative. There will be a

:01:49.:01:55.

specific focus in attitudes affecting women, such as female

:01:56.:02:00.

genital mutilation. But there are unanswered questions, how is the

:02:01.:02:04.

commission to identify extremism, how will it be funded and how will

:02:05.:02:08.

they fit in with existing counterterror work such as the

:02:09.:02:12.

prevent strategy. Labour security pledges 10,000 new police officers

:02:13.:02:17.

to replace half of the 20,000 lost on the recent Gobern cuts and today,

:02:18.:02:23.

they have promised 1000 actor security officers. But they admit it

:02:24.:02:30.

is only committing to the numbers promised under David Cameron's

:02:31.:02:37.

government top we are saying we want to recruit 10,000 extra police

:02:38.:02:42.

officers, community police officers because we think community policing

:02:43.:02:49.

is key. We want to recruit 3000 extra firefighters, 3000 extra

:02:50.:02:55.

prison officers, 1000, as is say, people in the security field. But

setting out her plans to keep Britain said, Diane Abbott said she

:03:00.:03:05.

regrets sounding previously supportive of the IRA once claiming

:03:06.:03:09.

the freedom of the British state is freedom for all others. It was 34

:03:10.:03:15.

years ago, I had a splendid Afro at the time. I don't have the same

:03:16.:03:20.

hairstyle and I don't have the same views. Protecting the public is

:03:21.:03:24.

considered the first duty of the government. There is just ten days

:03:25.:03:31.

left to see if this remains a key strand.

:03:32.:03:32.

The victims of the terror attack in Manchester have been remembered

:03:33.:03:35.

in church services held across the city this morning.

:03:36.:03:40.

The city is still on alert, with armed police guarding

:03:41.:03:43.

proceedings at the Great Manchester Run, which will take

:03:44.:03:45.

Our correspondent Chris Buckler is in Manchester for us.

:03:46.:03:47.

There is a great deal of security and race organisers say they were

:03:48.:03:56.

nervous about letting this event take place. But many of the runners

:03:57.:03:59.

feel it is important it went ahead. In the centre of Manchester,

:04:00.:04:02.

people are making a point Some might call this defiance,

:04:03.:04:04.

but staging the Great Manchester Run less than a week after the bomb

:04:05.:04:11.

attack that left so many families grieving,

:04:12.:04:15.

is about something more simple. It's an attempt to

:04:16.:04:18.

return to normality. However, for the moment,

:04:19.:04:23.

this is the new normal. Armed officers and extra

:04:24.:04:27.

security are very visible Armed officers and extra

:04:28.:04:34.

security a very visible presence on the streets,

:04:35.:04:36.

to try to offer reassurance. But inevitably, they are a reminder

:04:37.:04:38.

of the attack on the city. I am here with my husband,

:04:39.:04:41.

if anything else could have I did think twice, I'm not

:04:42.:04:45.

going to lie, but I'm here. Originally it was to run

:04:46.:04:51.

for us, but not now, And on shirt, after shirt,

:04:52.:04:53.

people are showing support for the families of the 22 people

:04:54.:05:10.

who were killed at Along the race route they stood

:05:11.:05:31.

silent to show their respect. And inside Manchester Cathedral, they

:05:32.:05:33.

joined that spirit of remembrance. Today we remember Megan Hurley,

:05:34.:05:35.

Elaine McIver, Courtney Boyle. The names of the 22 people were read

:05:36.:05:54.

out during church services. We need to stand together and live out the

:05:55.:06:00.

values of caring and togetherness. Manchester is on the way back to not

:06:01.:06:05.

living in fear. The terror threat has been reduced, but it remains

:06:06.:06:10.

severe and this is a city still in need of reassurance and support.

:06:11.:06:18.

There will be many more acts of remembrance in Manchester today,

:06:19.:06:21.

including celebrations for the lives of some of those who died. Those

:06:22.:06:25.

remembrance will take place during the great Manchester run and you

:06:26.:06:29.

will see full coverage of the event straight after this bulletin on BBC

:06:30.:06:31.

One. The family of the late MP

:06:32.:06:36.

Greville Janner say he's been exonerated after six men who claim

:06:37.:06:39.

they were sexually abused by him dropped their civil claims

:06:40.:06:41.

for damages against his estate. The men say they have

:06:42.:06:44.

abandoned their actions against Mr Janner, who died in 2015,

:06:45.:06:46.

after receiving assurances that their allegations

:06:47.:06:48.

will be examined as part British Airways is still having

:06:49.:06:50.

to cancel and delay flights at Heathrow this lunchtime

:06:51.:06:57.

following yesterday's computer collapse which saw thousands

:06:58.:07:00.

of travellers and hundreds of flights stranded

:07:01.:07:02.

around the world. BA is telling people who's flights

:07:03.:07:05.

were affected yesterday only to turn up at airports if they know

:07:06.:07:08.

they are booked on another flight. For some BA customers, it's been

:07:09.:07:12.

a long, uncomfortable night. Weary passengers, still hoping

:07:13.:07:21.

to catch their plane. Refreshment was being handed out

:07:22.:07:24.

by the airline in a heavily congested Terminal Five,

:07:25.:07:28.

but some customers were not It's just a lot of moving

:07:29.:07:30.

around, standing in lines I think it's just too big

:07:31.:07:35.

that they don't know what to do about it and it just seems

:07:36.:07:48.

like there's not enough people. We've been in the line

:07:49.:07:51.

for about five hours now. We've no idea how much longer we'll

:07:52.:07:53.

be here and we're getting no As thousands of people wait

:07:54.:07:56.

in packed terminals, many will not get to fly

:07:57.:07:59.

today at all. Dozens of flights have already been

:08:00.:08:02.

cancelled and many more will not depart as the airline struggles

:08:03.:08:04.

to reset its global network For aviation insiders though,

:08:05.:08:07.

this would be a lot more than just The passengers don't fly,

:08:08.:08:13.

the airline loses revenue from those passengers and maybe even has

:08:14.:08:19.

to refund and book another airline. But at the same time,

:08:20.:08:22.

they are incurring additional costs because there's compensation in some

:08:23.:08:24.

cases, that may need to be paid, not least

:08:25.:08:27.

from a regulatory point of view. A lot of hidden costs, repatriating

:08:28.:08:29.

peoples' bags for example. Some customers have been told

:08:30.:08:35.

their flight is cancelled online, then to get the exact opposite

:08:36.:08:38.

message when they call This issue for BA looks as if it's

:08:39.:08:40.

set to persist for far more That is the problem facing British

:08:41.:08:58.

Airways. The planes which should have started the day in Heathrow

:08:59.:09:02.

Airport or not, they are coming back from all over the world and that

:09:03.:09:07.

takes time. BA have said, we advise people travelling across the bank

:09:08.:09:10.

holiday weekend to continue to check the status of their flight on the

:09:11.:09:14.

website before coming to the airport. We are extremely sorry for

:09:15.:09:18.

the disruption and understand how much frustration it is causing. Back

to you. You can see more on all of today's

:09:27.:09:34.

is at 6:30pm, bye for now. We saw a thundery breakdown

:09:35.:09:53.

introducing more cloud and a cooler field to things across the northern

:09:54.:09:56.

half of the UK thanks to this area of low pressure. We look to the

south for this area of low pressure that will bring a second thundery
