so-called Islamic State -- bomber. Sofar 14 of the victims have been | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
named but police say they know the identities of everyone who was | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
killed. Hello and welcome to our look ahead | :00:00. | :00:22. | |
at what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. With me are the | :00:23. | :00:27. | |
political commentator Lance Price and Allison Little, the deputy | :00:28. | :00:30. | |
political editor of the Daily Express. Welcome to you both. The | :00:31. | :00:34. | |
front pages tomorrow, starting with the Financial Times, which leads | :00:35. | :00:38. | |
with police looking for a terror network and possible links to Libya | :00:39. | :00:42. | |
and Syria following the Manchester attack. The Metro shows an image of | :00:43. | :00:47. | |
troops taking to the streets following Theresa May's warning of | :00:48. | :00:51. | |
an imminent terror attack on British soil. The Guardian has one of the | :00:52. | :00:56. | |
pictures supposedly from the forensics investigation and | :00:57. | :00:59. | |
published by the New York Times. It purports to show the bomb used in | :01:00. | :01:04. | |
the attack. The Daily Telegraph reports on the Manchester attack are | :01:05. | :01:08. | |
being flagged up to authorities multiple times over his extremist | :01:09. | :01:14. | |
views -- attacker. The Daily Express reports on the deployment of troops | :01:15. | :01:17. | |
across the country. The Sun talks about the police's desperate race to | :01:18. | :01:22. | |
hunt down a terror network linked to the attack. The Times reports that | :01:23. | :01:27. | |
authorities were warned of Salman Abedi's extremism views by a | :01:28. | :01:32. | |
relative. And the Daily Mirror shows the picture of the attack's brother, | :01:33. | :01:39. | |
arrested in Libya earlier today. So let's begin. We were remarking | :01:40. | :01:46. | |
earlier that the image on the front page is that of troops on UK | :01:47. | :01:50. | |
streets. What does that make you feel when you see that, Lance? It | :01:51. | :01:55. | |
makes you appreciate the seriousness of the situation we face, not that | :01:56. | :02:00. | |
we needed reminding of that, but I'm sure the security of services, the | :02:01. | :02:04. | |
government, will be pleased to see this photograph on a lot of the | :02:05. | :02:08. | |
front pages, it's partly there for reassurance to let the public know | :02:09. | :02:13. | |
everything is being done to keep the streets as safe as they can be. Some | :02:14. | :02:16. | |
people may feel there's a bit of people may feel there's a bit of | :02:17. | :02:21. | |
window dressing about it, that it really is there more for reassurance | :02:22. | :02:25. | |
and the practical benefits that this can have but it takes the pressure | :02:26. | :02:29. | |
off the police service themselves. It will allow them to concentrate on | :02:30. | :02:33. | |
the serious work to be done, which is of course ensuring that if there | :02:34. | :02:38. | |
is a sell out there and there's the threat of further attacks, that that | :02:39. | :02:42. | |
is being dealt with as effectively as possible under the circumstances. | :02:43. | :02:47. | |
What is your reaction, Allison? In the papers we have seen so far, this | :02:48. | :02:52. | |
photo is on all but one of the front pages. It is something that thank | :02:53. | :02:56. | |
heavens from my point of view we are used to seeing on British streets, | :02:57. | :03:04. | |
we are used to seeing it in Europe all we see our forces in other | :03:05. | :03:09. | |
countries. There's been a break from electioneering this week, that is | :03:10. | :03:14. | |
due to break out again after the pause to honour the victims of the | :03:15. | :03:17. | |
bombing. The police Federation tonight has been pointing out that | :03:18. | :03:24. | |
the Army are having to be brought in because of cuts to the police. That | :03:25. | :03:31. | |
political dimension is working up again and I'm sure the Labour Party | :03:32. | :03:36. | |
will want to make something of it but they have to tiptoe around the | :03:37. | :03:42. | |
sensitivities and while the investigation is still going on. We | :03:43. | :03:46. | |
will talk about political campaigning starting up a little | :03:47. | :03:50. | |
later on. But now let's go to the front page of the Times, which has | :03:51. | :03:55. | |
the same image pretty much of the day Lee Telegraph, troops right in | :03:56. | :03:59. | |
front of Westminster, but the headline is: | :04:00. | :04:02. | |
This is all about the various warnings that supposedly happened | :04:03. | :04:10. | |
about candy. There do seem to be a lot of them -- country. It's not | :04:11. | :04:15. | |
surprisingly the how many people come across the radar of the | :04:16. | :04:19. | |
security services that it is physically impossible. We remember | :04:20. | :04:23. | |
how difficult a job they have to try to track them all but clearly they | :04:24. | :04:28. | |
have to pirate eyes and I think a lot of people will be looking at the | :04:29. | :04:32. | |
number of warnings there were, some of the papers were saying there were | :04:33. | :04:36. | |
five separate warnings going back as far as five years ago when this guy | :04:37. | :04:41. | |
was obviously still a teenager. Whether or not because of the number | :04:42. | :04:45. | |
of warnings there were and the people were doing what they had been | :04:46. | :04:49. | |
asked to do under the Prevent controversial scheme, which is to | :04:50. | :04:53. | |
let the security services know if they think there's someone in their | :04:54. | :04:56. | |
community that could be a threat, people did that and yet look what | :04:57. | :05:01. | |
happened. Yes. I'm wondering whether we are following a familiar pattern | :05:02. | :05:05. | |
after these tragic events, we get over the shock of the event and we | :05:06. | :05:09. | |
identify the victims and there's deep sorrow about that, and very | :05:10. | :05:14. | |
quickly we get onto whose fault was it apart from the man who planted | :05:15. | :05:18. | |
the bomb, the man who built the bomb, if you know what I mean. We | :05:19. | :05:23. | |
are two days after this dreadful event and we are already saying | :05:24. | :05:30. | |
British authorities made a mistake. Headlines like this... It is a very | :05:31. | :05:34. | |
British thing to do, it was our fault. It is up to them to protect | :05:35. | :05:41. | |
us? We do rely on them and if there were glaring errors, Lance is right, | :05:42. | :05:44. | |
they have so much information and there's only so much they can do. | :05:45. | :05:49. | |
They can't have known he was going to do this. The time will come when | :05:50. | :05:54. | |
these questions need to be asked. Yes, agreed. Whether MI5 should be | :05:55. | :05:58. | |
watching their own backs at this moment when they have a really | :05:59. | :06:03. | |
important job to do to keep us all safe... We should remember, he may | :06:04. | :06:07. | |
have been working with others, but there was one person responsible for | :06:08. | :06:11. | |
this and that was Salman Abedi. Yes, that's what I'm saying. The one | :06:12. | :06:17. | |
person responsible for this bombing, yes, but the suggestion is there's a | :06:18. | :06:20. | |
network with these various arrests going on. Let's look at the front | :06:21. | :06:26. | |
page of the Independent. We spoke earlier to the defence editor of the | :06:27. | :06:30. | |
Independent, Kim Seung-gyu actor, who has written their front-page | :06:31. | :06:35. | |
story, which is the authorities found explosives in other places | :06:36. | :06:40. | |
where they have done these raids. -- Kim Sengupta. This appears to be a | :06:41. | :06:46. | |
genuine scoop, assuming Kim Sengupta has his facts right, and I guess | :06:47. | :06:51. | |
they wouldn't be reading this on the front page if they weren't | :06:52. | :06:55. | |
confident. They are talking about a device blown up in a controlled | :06:56. | :07:01. | |
explosion -- putting this. It is more than explosives that could have | :07:02. | :07:06. | |
been used to put a device together, it was a device. They will be | :07:07. | :07:12. | |
scrabbling around in other newsrooms to follow up on this. This helps to | :07:13. | :07:16. | |
explain why they raised the security threat level last night and this is | :07:17. | :07:21. | |
a very fast moving and wide ranging and scary situation. Especially if | :07:22. | :07:29. | |
there are lots of devices around the place. The Guardian and the | :07:30. | :07:32. | |
Independent are the newspapers that have put pictures on the front page | :07:33. | :07:37. | |
of what we understand and believe to be part of the actual device itself | :07:38. | :07:42. | |
that caused such havoc because of the leak in the US. We will go back | :07:43. | :07:46. | |
to that in a moment but first the front page of the Daily Mail, it | :07:47. | :07:50. | |
underlines the international dimension of this story, doesn't it? | :07:51. | :07:58. | |
Jeremy Hunt himself from Libya and his brother and father both arrested | :07:59. | :08:06. | |
in Tripoli -- Salman Abedi. Very stark headline, the G hardy family. | :08:07. | :08:12. | |
Is that their? A classic Daily Mail front Page. --. They also have the | :08:13. | :08:18. | |
picture of the younger brother in Libby on the Daily Mirror -- jihadi. | :08:19. | :08:28. | |
Past experience shows not everything that you know two days afterwards | :08:29. | :08:32. | |
about a family will turn out to be true. For example, it said here that | :08:33. | :08:38. | |
the father and one of the brothers are IS supporters. I think I heard | :08:39. | :08:42. | |
another commentator saying today the father was thought to be more pro-Al | :08:43. | :08:46. | |
Qaeda year because in Libya al-Qaeda have said about IS that they are too | :08:47. | :08:52. | |
brutal -- pro-Al Qaeda. I don't know if that's the case. I noted that in | :08:53. | :08:57. | |
the Times, the Mail are saying this is a whole family and a whole | :08:58. | :09:02. | |
network and we are fascinated by evil families, aren't we? The Times | :09:03. | :09:07. | |
say... They also say it was claimed Salman Abedi called his family 15 | :09:08. | :09:10. | |
minutes before the attack in Tripoli to say goodbye but friends of the | :09:11. | :09:14. | |
family said his father had been so worried about radicalisation in | :09:15. | :09:18. | |
Manchester that he demanded he moved to Libya. People will jump to | :09:19. | :09:27. | |
conclusions very quickly about all of this and that's a dangerous thing | :09:28. | :09:31. | |
to do immediately after an incident like this. It's not to say | :09:32. | :09:35. | |
journalists shouldn't ask these questions and go after the facts | :09:36. | :09:40. | |
such as they are. But I do think it is important we remember the | :09:41. | :09:43. | |
security forces themselves aren't in a position, and nor should they be | :09:44. | :09:47. | |
wasting their time answering these questions, so we only get one side | :09:48. | :09:52. | |
of it. It looks like there has been a failure on their part to follow up | :09:53. | :09:58. | |
on leads, to respond to warnings and presumably even on an international | :09:59. | :10:03. | |
level, because if this family was based where they were then they | :10:04. | :10:08. | |
wouldn't just be keeping an eye on them as British intelligence, there | :10:09. | :10:12. | |
would be others. Clearly big questions. It worries me that this | :10:13. | :10:16. | |
is hampering the work of the security services. Or they are going | :10:17. | :10:21. | |
to let journalists run around and chat about this stuff while they get | :10:22. | :10:24. | |
on with the work of tracking down these people. There's the | :10:25. | :10:27. | |
inevitability that you start with the people close to the person | :10:28. | :10:29. | |
suspected. No surprise that members of his | :10:30. | :10:41. | |
family have been arrested. The first thing you do is look at families | :10:42. | :10:47. | |
because they are the people who would and know the perpetrator must | :10:48. | :10:57. | |
closely. Let's go to the front page of The Guardian, this is same | :10:58. | :11:03. | |
photograph that you have alluded to on the front page of The | :11:04. | :11:08. | |
Independent. Supposedly a photograph of one part is believed to have been | :11:09. | :11:12. | |
used on Monday that had been leaked to the US media and this is one an | :11:13. | :11:20. | |
extraordinary image and also it is causing a row. It is unprecedented | :11:21. | :11:30. | |
that a live investigation live in this country should then be revealed | :11:31. | :11:38. | |
by the intelligence agency in one of our partners, perhaps our closest | :11:39. | :11:46. | |
partner in the United States. On the radio, Amber Rudd saying she was | :11:47. | :11:52. | |
very irritated and that is a British euphemism to say they are livid | :11:53. | :11:58. | |
about this. The Prime Minister is going to confront the President when | :11:59. | :12:02. | |
they meet later on tomorrow at a Nato meeting and say this is | :12:03. | :12:08. | |
absolutely not acceptable at every level. The president himself has | :12:09. | :12:15. | |
suffered from leaks that have perhaps come from... You never know | :12:16. | :12:22. | |
how Donald Trump will respond but he has his views about leaks from | :12:23. | :12:29. | |
security services in his country but this is a very, very serious | :12:30. | :12:33. | |
situation and you would think people on both sides of the Atlantic would | :12:34. | :12:38. | |
be concerned about. In the last half an hour, a counter police saying | :12:39. | :12:47. | |
trust has been breached between the two intelligence communities and | :12:48. | :12:56. | |
that is extraordinary. I suppose as well as the breach of trust, the | :12:57. | :13:02. | |
fact that such images that should appear from a live investigation, | :13:03. | :13:08. | |
there is also the human factor of that, you can see these bloodstained | :13:09. | :13:15. | |
weapons... It is absolutely ghastly, distressing and very real stop we | :13:16. | :13:21. | |
know there was a blood but it is a shock to see it and quite heartless | :13:22. | :13:27. | |
to put that picture... There is a bit of a question of The Guardian | :13:28. | :13:31. | |
putting it on the front page only because in their story, in the | :13:32. | :13:38. | |
second column, a senior US sources are clearly distressing to the | :13:39. | :13:47. | |
victims's family and still they put it there. The human story, the story | :13:48. | :13:57. | |
is of the Vic Demps. A touching story of a gay man killed. -- | :13:58. | :14:07. | |
victims. He was he appeared on television and radio, outspoken and | :14:08. | :14:14. | |
lived life to the full and very touching to see that story. I | :14:15. | :14:22. | |
expected to see more images of victims on the front of the pages. | :14:23. | :14:28. | |
Yesterday we had the heart wrenching pictures of students. More adults | :14:29. | :14:35. | |
have been named the day and it is striking how many were parents, | :14:36. | :14:41. | |
mothers, in some cases the couples, and children who have become | :14:42. | :14:50. | |
orphans. Whole lives destroyed. In the back page of The Times, | :14:51. | :15:00. | |
appointed bleak positive story, we won it bought Manchester. -- for | :15:01. | :15:11. | |
Manchester. I think they had one of the players earlier saying we won it | :15:12. | :15:20. | |
for the victims. Pride of Manchester in another paper. Slightly tearful | :15:21. | :15:32. | |
faces. For sure. Let's have a think about the timing of all of this. We | :15:33. | :15:38. | |
have had political campaigning suspended and it will start up in a | :15:39. | :15:53. | |
gentle way tomorrow with the Ukip manifesto. And then again on Friday. | :15:54. | :15:58. | |
Will it have a different tone? I think it will. For one thing, when | :15:59. | :16:03. | |
it starts Theresa May is going to be abroad, in Brussels and then to | :16:04. | :16:24. | |
Cicely for the G7 summit. -- Sicily. The Tories are sensible, they will | :16:25. | :16:30. | |
not seek to politicise this. They will not need to. They will have the | :16:31. | :16:34. | |
pictures of Theresa May and subliminally the question will be | :16:35. | :16:41. | |
asked, can you imagine Jeremy Corbyn responding in this way. Inevitably, | :16:42. | :16:49. | |
there is already creeping into the discussion whether or not the cuts | :16:50. | :16:52. | |
to police numbers, which is undoubtedly a fact which has | :16:53. | :16:57. | |
happened under the Conservatives, is one reason why we have to sit in the | :16:58. | :17:02. | |
army on the street. I wonder if Jeremy Corbyn will return to the | :17:03. | :17:06. | |
then he came up with a couple of weeks ago whether he might reach the | :17:07. | :17:12. | |
rate that the ball on Terror has not worked and has not made us safer. -- | :17:13. | :17:21. | |
the wall on Terror. Is this going to be a very different last two weeks? | :17:22. | :17:26. | |
I suspect the first couple of fewdays we will have a different | :17:27. | :17:33. | |
feel to it. Pretty soon after that, rightly or Rob Lee, we will get back | :17:34. | :17:42. | |
to the campaign were having earlier. -- wrongly. Before this appalling | :17:43. | :17:51. | |
incident happened, the Tories were on the back foot with plans for the | :17:52. | :17:55. | |
elderly and other aspects of the manifesto. It will be a hard fought | :17:56. | :18:03. | |
last two weeks of the campaign. Thank you both very much. Don't | :18:04. | :18:08. | |
forget you can see the front pages online on the BBC website. It is all | :18:09. | :18:17. | |
there for you. If you miss the programme you can watch it later on | :18:18. | :18:23. | |
the BBC iPlayer. Thank you very much. Next, all the days sport. From | :18:24. | :18:29. | |
me, good night. | :18:30. | :18:33. |
