More travel misery for British Airways passengers, unable

It's a second day of cancellations and delays, after a computer crash

I've never seen anything like it in my life. We've always flown BA. But

now, no, we don't think we can trust them again.

Police make another arrest, in the Manchester

While the city, stands defiant, as thousands take to the streets

wins on her return to competition, after being stabbed last year.

For a second day, British Airways has had to cancel or delay numerous

flights in and out of Heathrow, following the collapse

of BA's computer system due to a power failure.

To try to ease congestion because so many passengers

are stranded, the airline has only been allowing travellers

to enter the main terminal, 90 minutes before their flight.

Well, Joe Lynam is at Heathrow for us this evening.

Over to you. Good evening, Clive. It has been a day of queues,

cancellations and questionable customer care. Thousands of BA

customers are still in terminals as being to get their delayed flights.

Thousands more have had their holidays curtailed or ruined. The

airline says things are returning to normal but for many people it does

not feel like normal. For some BA customers, it's been

a long, uncomfortable night. Bleary passengers, still hoping

to catch their plane. Even free bottles of water failed to

cool some customers mood. It's just a lot of moving

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

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

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

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

be here and we're getting no Sarah Booth and her family should be

on holiday in Budapest, instead she's stuck having lunch

in a pub near Heathrow. She was told by BA to come

to the airport, only to find out We only travelled based on the fact

our flight was still running. We were told by BA to make sure

flights were running before we left We've come from Mavern

in Worcestershire and my sister and her family have come

from Folkestone in Kent. Now, they are probably

going on holiday in the UK instead. We had really been looking

forward to it because we do But it's not as bad as it could have

been, because other people probably BA passengers in Rome have been

told it might be to stay Some travelled here by train

from Naples, after spending hours on a plane there yesterday that

never took off. We've now been booked on a flight

from here to Barcelona, Barcelona to London,

but our Barcelona flight has been delayed an hour,

so now we've got 30 minutes to get the connecting flight in the hope

that we get back to London tonight, otherwise we've got

to wait two days. As thousands of people wait

in a packed Heathrow, dozens of flights have already been

cancelled, and many more will not depart as the airline struggles

to reset its global network, Some passengers have been

told their flight is cancelled online and then get the exact

opposite message when they call This problem looks set to persist

for far more than just a few hours. That is the problem be a. The planes

they needed here at Heathrow were elsewhere in the world and they

needed to be brought back. We have been trying to get an interview for

the last two days with British Airways but they have declined our

request. The chief executive posted a statement on YouTube saying they

are pulling out all the stops to get back to normal, apologising once

again to customers, urging them not to come to the airport until they

had a flight booking and not to come until 90 minutes before take-off

time. As usual, the messages to check the website. Thank you.

The victims of the Manchester terror attack, have been remembered

in church services right across the city, while thousands

of runners have been taking part in the Great Manchester Run.

The organisers say they were determined it should go ahead,

In the centre of Manchester, people ran in remembrance and in defiance.

Holding this race in the streets just days after an attack here

was in itself sending an important message.

We're here to run for Manchester and to show that we're not scared

This simple act of gathering together after a bombing that left

so many families grieving expressed a sentiment that only if you could

Do something to say we need to hate less.

Do something through courage and through pain.

Do something for someone that you care for.

Do something to help out with the cost.

Do something for someone that you're there for.

Do something for someone that you've lost.

Yet this attempt to return to normality exposed what has become

at least for the moment, the new normal.

Armed officers and extra security are now an obvious presence,

here to offer reassurance, but they also a reminder

of what happened in Manchester less than a week ago.

Yes, I was a bit nervous, I'm here with my husband.

If anything else could have happened, you know, I've

got children at home, so I did think twice,

People paid their respects all along the race route.

And at services nearby in Manchester Cathedral.

Today we remember Megan Hurley, Elaine McIver, Courtney Boyle,

There the names of each one of the 22 people killed

On shirt after shirt, people wore yellow ribbons to show

solidarity and sympathy for their families.

We weren't going to come today but we thought we're not

We're going to come and have a great day

Trying to move on in Manchester does not mean forgetting. This is a city

in need of support and reassurance. This has been an emotional day for

Manchester but this is a city showing its resilience. Alongside

the tears there have been plenty of cheers and also laughter. Away from

the hustle and bustle of the rest of Manchester, here by where all of

these tributes of flowers have been left, there remains peace and quiet.

This is a place to remember and people are determined to show they

will remember. Clive. Thank you.

As the investigation into the bombing continues,

counter terror police in Manchester, have arrested another man.

The 25-year-old was detained in the Old Trafford area of the city.

A search is also being carried out at a house in Moss Side,

Tom, bring us up to date with the latest? That arrest you mentioned

was not far away from here. A man was pulled out of a car bike

counterterrorism officers. The more dramatic event was here in Moss

Side. Police in large numbers arrived this afternoon at about one

o'clock. They blew open a door that you can see just behind me here,

using an explosive. Heavily armed officers came and they arrested

three men who were at that property. There was a police dog involved at

one point. Later in the afternoon Greater Manchester Police announced

they have been de-arrested. It has caused a great deal of discomfort at

this part of South Manchester. The people at the house put a sign on

the door saying this is what the police have caused, we had nothing

to do with what happened in the bombing.

They say they are distressed by the amount of attention that Moss Side

is generally getting. It has to be said, we have been all over this

city as part of this investigation and what is going on here, and it

will go on and on I think, for now, Clive. Thank you.

And both the Conservatives and Labour, have been focusing

on national security today in the election campaign.

The Home Secretary Amber Rudd, reaffirmed that the Conservatives

would set up a commission, to promote British values

and tackle extremism, while Labour wants to recruit 1,000

security experts, in addition to 10,000 extra police.

Here's our political correspondent Alex Forsyth.

In the aftermath of such an atrocity, inevitable questions about

how to stop something like this happening again. The actions of this

man, Salman Abedi, forced a pause in the election campaign. Now

preventing others like him is part of the debate. The Home Secretary

said today the government had, for the first time, used powers to

prevent suspected terrorists returning freely to the UK. She said

police and security services were working at full tilt on the

Manchester attack. They are facing questions about who knew what and

when. Was Salman Abedi on surveillance list? I don't know

those details that you have set out to me the intelligence services are

still collecting information about him. I would not rush to conclusions

that they have somehow missed something. People phoned the terror

hotline as they are told to do. As they should do. The reason we put in

place the terror hotline and the Prevent strategy is because we

recognise the scale of the problem. What would different parties do to

tackle that problem? The Conservatives would introduce a

counter extremism commission. It would advise new laws and policies.

They say they have committed extra funding for counterterrorism

agencies and they are recruiting more officers. Labour have also

promised more security and intelligence staff and more police

officers, as well as more prison and border agency personnel. In the

battle for power here, Labour are attacking the Conservatives over

cuts, saying they have left the police and resourced. The Tories are

defending their record on crime but they want to make this about

character and leadership. The Shadow Home Secretary was asked again today

about past comments she had made, seemingly supportive about the IRA.

It was 34 years ago, I had a rather splendid Afro at the time. I don't

have the same hairstyle and I don't have the same views. Labour so the

focus now should be how to keep people safe from this, an attack

which rather than undermine the democratic system, has highlighted

the choice the country is facing, who is best to lead, who is best to

protect? The leader of the Scottish National

Party Nicola Sturgeon, says the SNP would consider working

with Labour in the event Speaking during an interview

with Andrew Neil, she said she would consider what she called

a "progressive alliance," with Jeremy Corbyn, despite having

reservations about his leadership If there was to be a hung

parliament, of course we would look to be part of a progressive alliance

that pursued progressive policies. But let's get back to

the reality of this election. The reality of this election, even

with the narrowing of the polls, is that we are going to face a Tory

government, Six men who accused the late

Lord Janner of sexually abusing them as children,

have abandoned their civil case. Lord Janner was charged

with 22 sexual offences dating back to the 1960s,

but the 87-year-old was found unfit to stand trial just days

before he died in 2015. His accusors had been seeking

damages from his estate. Simon, why have the men

dropped their claims? To give you a bit of background, the

criminal case against Lord Janner was dropped because he had dementia.

It was decided he could not follow what was going on in court and then

he died. Six men wanted to take it further and launched their own civil

case at the High Court. That has now been dropped. A lawyer representing

the men said the reason for that is there had been a long period of time

between the claim being launched and the alleged abuse. Lord Janner's

family said that effectively cleared his name. But the lawyer says he now

wants to concentrate on giving evidence to the independent enquiry

on child sexual abuse. He said they had been given assurances that it

would look into allegations against Lord Janner but his family said it

should just be looking at whether there were institutional failures.

As for the enquiry itself, they would only say to the investigation

was continuing and would not be drawn on whether or not they would

make some sort of ruling on whether Lord Janner abused children. Thank

you. With all the sport,

here's Karthi Gnanasegaram The world number one Angelique

Kerber has been knocked out in the first round of the French open.

Petra Kvitova has made a triumphant return to the sport.

It has never taken Petra Kvitova so much to reach the first round. Five

months ago everything was in doubt. A knife attack at her home left with

tendon damage on her left hand, have playing hand. And yet, here she was.

The first game, first point. First class. Kvitova's hand is not fully

ready. She only stepped onto a practice court earlier this month so

has to rely on skill and stealth rather than strength. That comes

from the stands where her family sit. The first set was one, the

second followed with what seemed like comfort. This is the eighth

time she has made it to the second round of the French Open. None will

compare to this. It was a nice and really heart-warming welcome. My

team was there, my family were there, everyone who helped me

through the difficult time. I am happy with the game, of course, but

it was not really about the game today. Next on court, Angelique

Kerber, officially the world's best, but in reality, far from it. Such is

her lack of form, her defeat to Ekaterina Makarova was a strange

surprise. Britain's Dan Evans started strongly against Tommy

Robredo. He went a setup. Robredo's roots are in play and he eventually

blossomed. The British challenge in Paris will have to come from

elsewhere. Ferrari's Sebastian Vettel has won

the Monaco Grand Prix while Lewis Hamilton finished

in seventh place, after starting Vettel has extended his

World Championship lead over While Jenson Button's one-off

return to Formula One Hamilton Academical have

retained their Scottish Premiership status after beating Dundee United

1-0 in the second leg While Blackpool have been promoted

to League One with a 2-1 win It's an immediate return

to League One after their relegation last season but Blackpool only had

around 6,000 supporters at Wembley due to an ongoing boycott by fans

in protest England's rugby union side have

beaten the Barbarians in their final match before heading on tour

to Argentina next month. There's more throughout the evening
