:00:08. > :00:14.MI5 says it will investigate its handling of information

:00:15. > :00:17.from the public about the Manchester bomber, Salman Abedi.

:00:18. > :00:19.But as raids continue, the Home Secretary says the focus

:00:20. > :00:21.should remain on arresting Abedi's known associates.

:00:22. > :00:24.I think it's too early to try and look for where the mistakes,

:00:25. > :00:26.if they were made, might have been made.

:00:27. > :00:29.The important thing is that we conclude the operation now.

:00:30. > :00:31.Meanwhile, Nick Clegg and the Liberal Democrats warn

:00:32. > :00:33.national security could be at risk if Theresa May negotiates

:00:34. > :00:40.As British Airways continues to deal with the disruption caused

:00:41. > :00:45.by computer failings, the Chief Executive says sorry.

:00:46. > :00:47.We will make a full investigation, exhaustive.

:00:48. > :00:50.We will find out exactly what happened and we will make sure

:00:51. > :00:58.And tributes to the Blue Peter presenter John Noakes,

:00:59. > :01:25.Good afternoon and welcome to the BBC News at One.

:01:26. > :01:28.The intelligence service MI5 is to review the way it deals

:01:29. > :01:30.with information from the public, in the light of the Manchester

:01:31. > :01:34.It will look in particular at its response to several warnings

:01:35. > :01:36.that the man who carried out the attack, Salman

:01:37. > :01:41.Meanwhile, the investigation into Abedi has led to police

:01:42. > :01:43.searching properties in Manchester, Chester and West Sussex.

:01:44. > :01:52.Here's our home affairs correspondent, June Kelly.

:01:53. > :02:02.Who was Salman Abedi connected with? The connection to this massive

:02:03. > :02:07.counterterrorism investigation. Overnight, the focus switched to the

:02:08. > :02:10.English South Coast, more than 250 miles from Manchester. In the

:02:11. > :02:15.seaside town of St Ann's Square in Sussex, officers moved in on

:02:16. > :02:19.unaddressed and arrested a man of 23 who joins 13 others already in

:02:20. > :02:26.custody. I watch past ten, hello, how are you doing? Salman Abedi was

:02:27. > :02:31.caught on CCTV as he prepared to kill himself and to commit mass

:02:32. > :02:34.murder. It has emerged five years ago, concerns began to be raised

:02:35. > :02:41.with the authorities about his extremist views. And so since the

:02:42. > :02:46.bombing, there has been criticism of the security service MI5. It has

:02:47. > :02:50.launched two enquiries into the way it examined and assessed Abedi he

:02:51. > :02:54.was not considered an immediate threat. The Home Secretary has

:02:55. > :02:59.refused to be drawn on possible missed opportunities. Remember, this

:03:00. > :03:03.is still a live operation, we are still seeing arrests being made. It

:03:04. > :03:07.is right MI5 can look back and find out what has happened in the past

:03:08. > :03:10.but at the moment, I'm going to focus on making sure that we get the

:03:11. > :03:17.operation included and successfully serve. But after the atrocity at the

:03:18. > :03:22.Manchester Arena, showed an intelligence agency investigating

:03:23. > :03:25.itself? I think at this stage, it is appropriate it is internal. The

:03:26. > :03:30.information is so sensitive and there needs to be speed and most

:03:31. > :03:35.importantly, I need to identify if there are threats to the UK. In

:03:36. > :03:38.time, the Intelligence and Security Committee in Parliament would be an

:03:39. > :03:43.appropriate body to review what they come up with. In the North of

:03:44. > :03:47.England, at the heart of the police enquiry, made such new locations.

:03:48. > :03:53.This was Whalley Range in Manchester. I think they are Libyan

:03:54. > :03:57.but I do not know much about them. They collect our parcels and we

:03:58. > :04:02.collect their parcels and they are a nice family. So it is shocking to

:04:03. > :04:08.see all of this activity and certainly the police here. A search

:04:09. > :04:15.30 miles from here in the City of Chester. Seven days on from the

:04:16. > :04:18.bombing, the pace of this investigation is unrelenting and

:04:19. > :04:20.what detectives are discovering is taking them well beyond Salman

:04:21. > :04:23.Abedi's home city. Well, June Kelly is in St Ann's

:04:24. > :04:26.Square, in Manchester, for us now. June, we're only a week into this

:04:27. > :04:28.investigation but, already, we've got MI5 admitting today

:04:29. > :04:36.there maybe lessons to be learned? Yes, MI5 has faced questions over

:04:37. > :04:42.that has seven days as to why there was not a red flag over Salman

:04:43. > :04:47.Abedi. It has emerged he was a person of interest as he is turned

:04:48. > :04:51.in intelligence circles. He was on a list of 20,000 people who had been

:04:52. > :04:56.of interest in the past and he was not on a list of 3,000 considered to

:04:57. > :05:02.pose a terrorist threat. This is very reminiscent of the 7/7 bombings

:05:03. > :05:06.because MI5 were criticised over intelligence failings relating to

:05:07. > :05:12.two of the bombers in that case. What is striking is the scope and

:05:13. > :05:17.the pace of the police investigation. A number of raids

:05:18. > :05:23.this morning and more arrests. And at the heart of this is a mass

:05:24. > :05:28.murder enquiry. And this was brought home here just a couple of minutes

:05:29. > :05:32.ago because we had the family of one of Salman Abedi's victims, one of

:05:33. > :05:37.the 20 people he killed, they came here to look at the flowers. Thank

:05:38. > :05:39.you very much, from central Manchester.

:05:40. > :05:41.With events in Manchester focusing minds on national security,

:05:42. > :05:44.the Liberal Democrats have this morning accused the Conservatives

:05:45. > :05:46.of potentially weakening our ability to tackle terrorism

:05:47. > :05:52.because of their approach to the Brexit negotiations.

:05:53. > :05:55.The former Deputy Prime Minister, Nick Clegg, says Britain could be

:05:56. > :05:57.excluded from accessing a vital EU-wide criminal data base

:05:58. > :05:59.if Theresa May insists on leaving the jurisdiction

:06:00. > :06:06.Here's our political correspondent, Eleanor Garnier.

:06:07. > :06:10.Terrorists have attacked across Europe.

:06:11. > :06:13.Countries like France, Belgium and Sweden, as well as the UK,

:06:14. > :06:16.have all been targeted in recent years.

:06:17. > :06:20.As Britain prepares for Brexit, the Lib Dems are warning

:06:21. > :06:24.we could end up cut off from important security information.

:06:25. > :06:28.They claim the Conservatives have some explaining to do.

:06:29. > :06:30.I think it's important before the election they're actually forced

:06:31. > :06:37.How do you continue to have access to these databases if,

:06:38. > :06:41.at the same time, you don't want to abide by the rules

:06:42. > :06:48.The Schengen Information System is a database of real-time alerts.

:06:49. > :06:50.It contains information on thousands of people,

:06:51. > :06:54.including suspected criminals wanted under the European Arrest Warrant.

:06:55. > :06:58.And it's used by countries across the EU, plus a handful

:06:59. > :07:06.The EU's leaders and the Prime Minister have said continued

:07:07. > :07:19.cooperation on security is a priority in the

:07:20. > :07:22.Today, the Conservatives insisted it's in the EU's interest

:07:23. > :07:27.When we leave the European Union, we will need to have a new form

:07:28. > :07:30.of agreement to make sure that we have access to those

:07:31. > :07:31.information databases and that the information databases

:07:32. > :07:35.which will be part of the EU have access to the information

:07:36. > :07:38.In the wake of the attack in Manchester, security

:07:39. > :07:42.and counterterrorism are likely to stay high on the campaign agenda.

:07:43. > :07:44.The challenge for whoever wins - keeping the public safe

:07:45. > :07:54.Is Brexit really a threat to national security?

:07:55. > :08:00.I think those who regret the referendum result and to campaign to

:08:01. > :08:03.stay in the European Union are making this argument to highlight

:08:04. > :08:08.how they believe Britain's relationship with the EU is really

:08:09. > :08:12.important. The Prime Minister has insisted security cooperation will

:08:13. > :08:16.be an important priority in the negotiations and I think she sees

:08:17. > :08:21.our police and security intelligence as a trump card in the negotiations.

:08:22. > :08:25.Remember when she triggered the EU divorce talks a couple of months

:08:26. > :08:30.ago, she gave a warning saying that if the negotiations ended in failure

:08:31. > :08:35.without a deal, our cooperation on fighting crime and terrorism would

:08:36. > :08:39.be weakened. I think one thing everybody can agree on is that

:08:40. > :08:43.nobody wants to see any aspect of European security reduced or in any

:08:44. > :08:48.way weakens but it will be up to whoever wins the general election

:08:49. > :08:54.for them to make a deal in most ago stations. In the wider campaign, a

:08:55. > :08:58.TV debate involving the two main party leaders later, what is their

:08:59. > :09:01.main focus is likely to be? It will not be a head-to-head, they will

:09:02. > :09:07.face questions from an audience and they will be grilled by Jeremy

:09:08. > :09:10.Paxman. Theresa May is likely to face questions over accusations she

:09:11. > :09:16.made a U-turn on social care and perhaps questions over her decision

:09:17. > :09:20.to claw back some of the free school meals. Jeremy Corbyn, a lot of

:09:21. > :09:25.attention recently on his relationships with some IRA

:09:26. > :09:28.sympathisers and questions also on his leadership credentials. For both

:09:29. > :09:32.of them, it is important not to mess up and any hint of a wobble or a

:09:33. > :09:36.wrong foot and it will be seized. Thank you very much indeed.

:09:37. > :09:39.British Airways says its flights are gradually returning to normal,

:09:40. > :09:42.48 hours after the worldwide crash of the airline's computer system led

:09:43. > :09:45.BA officials said the airline was resuming a full schedule

:09:46. > :09:47.of services from Gatwick, but a Heathrow airport spokeswoman

:09:48. > :09:50.said BA flights from the airport continued to face some disruption.

:09:51. > :09:54.Our business correspondent, Joe Lynam, reports.

:09:55. > :09:59.The queues no longer stretch outside the door and flights are

:10:00. > :10:02.taking off, but that doesn't mean the disruption is over, nor all the

:10:03. > :10:09.I know they are trying to accommodate us, but we had to call

:10:10. > :10:15.Even though I already had a confirmed seat, I had to re-book

:10:16. > :10:18.my own seat, so it's pretty stressful.

:10:19. > :10:25.I work in IT and they are blaming this on IT problems.

:10:26. > :10:26.It's basic enterprise practice to have

:10:27. > :10:33.They should have had their communication

:10:34. > :10:36.system and their booking system in different places so they could at

:10:37. > :10:40.Just open a Google Mail account and send an e-mail.

:10:41. > :10:44.BA says its services from Gatwick are back to normal,

:10:45. > :10:48.as are all long-haul flights from Heathrow, but they concede

:10:49. > :10:50.that some disruption to short-haul flights,

:10:51. > :10:52.usually to continental Europe, will continue today.

:10:53. > :10:54.The airline has faced mounting pressure to answer questions

:10:55. > :11:07.We are profusely, profusely apologetic about what has happened.

:11:08. > :11:08.We are very conscious of the hardship that

:11:09. > :11:13.many of our customers have had to go through.

:11:14. > :11:16.On Saturday morning, we did have a power surge in one

:11:17. > :11:21.of our data centres which affected the network and hardware

:11:22. > :11:24.which stopped messaging millions and millions of messages that come

:11:25. > :11:26.between all the different systems and applications within the BA

:11:27. > :11:29.network and affected all the operational systems -

:11:30. > :11:35.baggage, operations, passenger processing, etc.

:11:36. > :11:38.That is what provided the actual disruptions.

:11:39. > :11:41.Mr Cruz said he would not be resigning and would find out why

:11:42. > :11:48.The GMB Union has blamed the outsourcing last year of IT

:11:49. > :11:51.contracts to the Indian company Tata for the chaos on Saturday -

:11:52. > :11:57.an accusation which Mr Cruz has vehemently denied.

:11:58. > :12:00.But BA will certainly have further questions to answer when the detail

:12:01. > :12:11.emerges of exactly what happened and whether corners were cut.

:12:12. > :12:16.North Korea has carried out the night missile test this year

:12:17. > :12:22.prompting protest from Japan after it landed in their waters. Launched

:12:23. > :12:25.from North Korea's eastern coast, it travelled before crashing into the

:12:26. > :12:30.sea near the Japanese mainland. China has also condemned the test.

:12:31. > :12:32.More than 200 drivers a day have been caught

:12:33. > :12:33.using their mobile phones in the month after

:12:34. > :12:42.Police across Britain caught almost 6,000 motorists in March,

:12:43. > :12:44.but the figure could be higher because seven forces didn't respond

:12:45. > :12:52.Drivers now pay six points on a licence and a ?200 fine, double the

:12:53. > :12:55.previous penalty. The former Blue Peter

:12:56. > :12:57.presenter John Noakes, who hosted the show in the 1960s

:12:58. > :13:00.and '70s, has died at the age of 83. He was the BBC children's show's

:13:01. > :13:04.longest-serving presenter, David Sillito looks

:13:05. > :13:08.back at his life. Blue Peter has had many presenters,

:13:09. > :13:27.but John Noakes was special - the cheery, funny daredevil from

:13:28. > :13:30.Halifax. At this level, the plinth

:13:31. > :13:32.on which Nelson stands I found myself literally

:13:33. > :13:39.hanging from the ladder In an age with a rather relaxed

:13:40. > :13:43.attitude to Health and Safety, the words, "And then

:13:44. > :13:45.it was my turn..." Take the moment he crashed out

:13:46. > :13:52.of a bobsleigh on the Cresta run. I carried on down the track

:13:53. > :13:55.on my backside, still doing He had grown up near Halifax,

:13:56. > :14:05.joined the RAF, then trained as an actor before landing the job

:14:06. > :14:07.of presenting Blue Peter. The Yorkshire accent

:14:08. > :14:09.and the willingness to do anything for a laugh at a time

:14:10. > :14:13.when children's television He also had his own programme,

:14:14. > :14:28.Go With Noakes, where he sampled all the pleasures of life out

:14:29. > :14:30.and about in Britain. He tired of television and set off

:14:31. > :14:34.on a yacht with his wife, settling His memories of Blue Peter

:14:35. > :14:41.were not entirely fond. He felt he had been badly paid,

:14:42. > :14:49.under-insured and overworked. I've been doing two

:14:50. > :14:52.years of Go With Noakes You might wonder what

:14:53. > :14:57.I'm doing up here. Occasionally, he returned to TV

:14:58. > :15:03.screens, once to answer a question, "Whatever happened

:15:04. > :15:07.to John Noakes and Shep?" In truth, the John Noakes

:15:08. > :15:23.we all knew was, in many ways, an act he was happy to say goodbye

:15:24. > :15:26.to, but that good-humoured daredevil did give us some

:15:27. > :15:32.memorable TV moments. The former Blue Peter

:15:33. > :15:38.presenter John Noakes, Let's return to the election now,

:15:39. > :15:45.and as we were hearing earlier, the Conservatives are keen to get

:15:46. > :15:48.back to campaigning on Brexit, while Labour are looking

:15:49. > :15:50.to capitalise on a positive response Among a number of key battleground

:15:51. > :15:56.areas will be Wolverhampton, It contains three constituencies -

:15:57. > :16:01.all of which were Labour at the 2015 election -

:16:02. > :16:04.in part due to strong support But there was a vote in favour

:16:05. > :16:11.of leaving the EU at the referendum. So our Midlands political editor,

:16:12. > :16:13.Patrick Burns, has been looking at how those communities

:16:14. > :16:23.might vote now. Wolverhampton has a particularly

:16:24. > :16:25.diverse mix of ethnic minorities, the Asian community

:16:26. > :16:30.is by far the biggest. One clear majority though,

:16:31. > :16:36.the 63% for Leave in the referendum. To find out how the core Labour vote

:16:37. > :16:47.is faring in all of this, I have come to the local

:16:48. > :16:49.Sikh temple. Do you talk to friends

:16:50. > :16:51.and family around here about how they are going

:16:52. > :16:54.to vote in the election? What do they say about

:16:55. > :16:56.maybe having a change of My other half is changing his heart,

:16:57. > :17:00.he would like to vote I have voted Labour all my

:17:01. > :17:04.life, but I decided to Theresa May, I think

:17:05. > :17:07.they will win again. They have done,

:17:08. > :17:09.and they have shown people My mind leads me

:17:10. > :17:15.to the Conservatives. I voted for a Conservative Mayor, I

:17:16. > :17:18.voted Conservative because of their I think what we may

:17:19. > :17:27.be seeing here is a fragmentation of the Labour vote,

:17:28. > :17:31.so striking there in the Asian community, where the Conservatives

:17:32. > :17:35.have been trying to win support for Well now, maybe, Brexit

:17:36. > :17:42.could be the game changer. In search of a wider

:17:43. > :17:44.reflection of opinion, I move on to see whether other ethnic

:17:45. > :17:47.communities are facing a similar The reason why we are having this

:17:48. > :17:51.election, we are told, is Is that what it really

:17:52. > :17:54.is all about for you? I haven't really brought

:17:55. > :17:57.Brexit into it, I have thought about what these parties can

:17:58. > :18:00.do for people like me, I think that would be the best

:18:01. > :18:03.way for me to vote. Which way do you think you're

:18:04. > :18:06.going to vote when the time comes? I have voted Labour all my life,

:18:07. > :18:12.but I'm not quite sure how I If I am not voting Labour,

:18:13. > :18:23.I won't vote Conservative anyway. People were socially

:18:24. > :18:24.frustrated and used Europe as a scapegoat and the Labour Party,

:18:25. > :18:28.for me, is going to be far more beneficial for the majority of the

:18:29. > :18:31.people than what I have heard than The city's main tram stop

:18:32. > :18:40.is my journey's end as well, evening commuters are

:18:41. > :18:41.heading home from work. Why do you think so many people

:18:42. > :18:46.in Wolverhampton voted to I just think they want rights

:18:47. > :18:50.for British people back. How does this lead to

:18:51. > :18:52.people voting between the I think they are the party to take

:18:53. > :19:06.us to the Brexit we voted for. I've spent most of my day

:19:07. > :19:09.in the constituency once represented by Enoch Powell

:19:10. > :19:11.and yet nobody I've met so much Maybe our politics has finally

:19:12. > :19:16.moved on from all that. Patrick Burns, BBC

:19:17. > :19:19.News, Wolverhampton. That's all from the BBC News at One,

:19:20. > :19:22.so it's goodbye from me. And on BBC One, we now join

:19:23. > :19:25.the BBC's news teams where you are.
