Manchester police have made significant arrests.

:00:07.:00:09.

A minute's silence has been held across the UK.

:00:10.:00:14.

Hundreds gathered in Manchester, remembering the 22 victims of the

:00:15.:00:35.

concert bombing. More raids today -

:00:36.:00:37.

eight people are now in custody, as police try to hunt down

are significant and initial searches of the premises have revealed items

that we believe are very important The last of the victims

has been identified - ten teenagers and children amongst

to the BBC News at Six. At 11 this morning, a minute's

:02:02.:02:27.

silence was observed across the UK to remember the 22 people killed

:02:28.:02:30.

in the Manchester concert Shortly after, the Queen

:02:31.:02:32.

visited come of those Police are describing

:02:33.:02:38.

their investigation as intense and say they have made

:02:39.:02:43.

some significant arrests. There's continued criticism

:02:44.:02:47.

of the leaking of sensitive evidence to US media outlets -

:02:48.:02:50.

the Chief Constable of Greater Manchester Police said it

:02:51.:02:52.

had caused distress to the families More on all of that in a moment,

:02:53.:02:55.

but first our Chief Correspondent Gavin Hewitt reports on the minute's

:02:56.:03:00.

silence that has united the people of Manchester with the

:03:01.:03:03.

rest of the country. In the minutes before the silence,

:03:04.:03:21.

that yous, thousands headed to reflect, to remember, to stand

:03:22.:03:22.

together. BUGLE SOUNDS. In Manchester, a long

:03:23.:03:27.

minute ended with applause. APPLAUSE. It was really beautiful

:03:28.:04:29.

and I thought it was so nice everyone coming here and showing the

:04:30.:04:33.

respect. Today's been a time to reflect and a time of remembrance

:04:34.:04:39.

and at the same time to show strength and unity and our support

:04:40.:04:42.

to those who have lost their loved ones. You had enjoyed the concert?

:04:43.:04:49.

It was good. I got to meet her before the concert. She was lovely.

:04:50.:04:55.

Really? During the morning the queen visited the royal Manchester

:04:56.:04:59.

children's hospital and spoke to some of the wounded. In one

:05:00.:05:05.

conversation she described the attack as wicked. Very wicked.

:05:06.:05:12.

Another patient spoke about her shrapnel wounds. Mine's gone through

:05:13.:05:17.

15 centimetres out the other side. I'm due in surgery this afternoon.

:05:18.:05:24.

75 people are still in hospital and some will need reconstructive

:05:25.:05:29.

surgery. Today was a reminder of what unites people - a determination

:05:30.:05:33.

not to allow the bombing to define the city. Even while people are

:05:34.:05:39.

seeking answers as to how a young man born here could carry out such

:05:40.:05:44.

an attack. Tonight hundreds were still laying flowers, a day of

:05:45.:05:49.

solidarity after the targeting of children and teenagers.

:05:50.:05:53.

Jane Hill is at St Ann's Square in Manchester.

:05:54.:05:55.

You've been there today amongst the emotional scenes.

:05:56.:06:07.

George, I don't I can overstate how incredibly moving it has been to be

:06:08.:06:14.

here today. You can see I'm sure that people are still coming here in

:06:15.:06:19.

this beautiful evening here in St Ann's Square, laying flowers,

:06:20.:06:24.

looking at the tributes. But that one minute's silence was one of the

:06:25.:06:27.

most moving things I have experienced. The silence itself

:06:28.:06:32.

absolutely observed as you would expect. But it was that applause,

:06:33.:06:36.

that spontaneous applause and itself was prolonged. I felt as if that was

:06:37.:06:41.

a response from the crowd that said, we are not defeated, we are a

:06:42.:06:45.

diverse city, you will not divide us, we are still here. I was so

:06:46.:06:50.

struck by that and so many people watching it were I think and a lot

:06:51.:06:54.

of us welled up, it was impossible not to. After the applause came

:06:55.:07:01.

singing. A group of men from behind me started singing Don't Look Back

:07:02.:07:06.

in Anger, a famous Manchester song from a famous Manchester band and

:07:07.:07:11.

that is the spirit reflected on these flowers. An extraordinary

:07:12.:07:16.

resilience which has been very moving to experience. Thank you very

:07:17.:07:17.

much. In their latest update,

:07:18.:07:20.

Greater Manchester Police say their initial searches

:07:21.:07:22.

of premises have revealed items that are very important

:07:23.:07:24.

to the investigation. Since the suicide bombing on Monday

:07:25.:07:29.

night, police and security services have become convinced that

:07:30.:07:31.

Salman Abedi was part of a terror network - that's the focus

:07:32.:07:34.

of their investigation. Our Home Editor, Mark Easton,

:07:35.:07:36.

reports now, on the investigation. Where is the bomb factory? Is a

:07:37.:07:52.

terror cell linked to Monday's attack poised to strike again? This

:07:53.:08:00.

morning as the country stood in silence, armed police were shouting

:08:01.:08:04.

at residents in Manchester to take cover after reports of a suspect

:08:05.:08:10.

package in a block of flats. There was armed police and they were

:08:11.:08:14.

squatting down, shouting at everyone. When the bomb disposal

:08:15.:08:25.

arrived we got told to take cover. It felt there was a a potential

:08:26.:08:31.

explosion. I saw my daughter and your first instance is I need my

:08:32.:08:37.

child. The city is jittering as police try to track the movements of

:08:38.:08:45.

Salman Abedi. They arrested him and the army became. This what is the

:08:46.:08:51.

search for a bomb factory looks like, a tip off, a raid and an

:08:52.:08:58.

arrest, but the search goes on. This raid did not produce the lead they

:08:59.:09:02.

hoped for, but the investigation is understood to be taking progress.

:09:03.:09:06.

There were two raids and two arrests in Manchester and a linked swoop on

:09:07.:09:12.

a proot 75 mimes south in Nuneaton where another man was arrested.

:09:13.:09:19.

There are now eight men in custody. I want to reassure people that the

:09:20.:09:25.

arrests we are made are significant and searches have revealed items

:09:26.:09:31.

that believe are important to the investigation. Police are piecing

:09:32.:09:41.

together Abedi's movement. It understood he left to Libya and

:09:42.:09:50.

returned to the UK via Istanbul and Germany. Police believe he may have

:09:51.:09:56.

been at a property a short distance from where the bomb exploded. Bmp

:09:57.:10:05.

But where else had he been. Forensics and CCTV, every method for

:10:06.:10:09.

tracking his movements is being pursued. We have been overwhelmed

:10:10.:10:14.

with support from the public and I would ask for patience to continue

:10:15.:10:19.

from the communities here in Manchester as we carry out the

:10:20.:10:24.

searches. There are nagging questions though. Why wasn't Abedi

:10:25.:10:29.

stopped before he carried out the attack? Since 2013, 18 plots have

:10:30.:10:37.

been thwarted. Could, should this one have been prevented too?

:10:38.:10:42.

Our Home Affairs Correspondent, Daniel Sandford, is outside

:10:43.:10:44.

Greater Manchester Police Headquarters.

:10:45.:10:45.

Daniel, police clearly feel they are making progress

:10:46.:10:47.

I thought the police sounded confident, or am I overstating it.

:10:48.:11:02.

For the first 36 hours it felt as if the police were still stuck in the

:11:03.:11:04.

long grass and didn't have much idea what happened. In the last 48-hours

:11:05.:11:08.

I think that landscape has changed and they feel they have got a better

:11:09.:11:13.

idea of what happened. One source said they had made significant head

:11:14.:11:16.

way and know when he came into the country and where he spent the

:11:17.:11:21.

weekend. They have got an idea about his network and who night have done

:11:22.:11:27.

what he was going to do. That is all quite important. They found

:11:28.:11:30.

significant items at some of the flats that they have searched. That

:11:31.:11:36.

is all very positive on the investigation of this particular

:11:37.:11:40.

attack. I think the negative is that there is a fear they don't really

:11:41.:11:44.

have any idea of the bigger picture. There is no sign of the threat level

:11:45.:11:49.

being reduced from critical. Some talked about a high risk and a high

:11:50.:11:54.

threat and too many unknowns and I think when it cops to going forward,

:11:55.:11:58.

police still don't feel like they're in control. Thank you.

:11:59.:12:02.

All 22 people who lost their lives in the suicide bombing have

:12:03.:12:05.

Ten teenagers and children were among those who were killed -

:12:06.:12:09.

the youngest was just eight years old.

:12:10.:12:11.

Judith Moritz reports now on the victims and the loss felt

:12:12.:12:14.

They were loved and they are mourned. Taken by the bomb, their

:12:15.:12:29.

names keep coming. Eilidh McLeod, from the Outer Hebrides a teenager

:12:30.:12:34.

who played bagpipes and was full of fun. Courtney Boyle from Gateshead

:12:35.:12:43.

went to the concert with her step dad, Philip Tron. He too lost his

:12:44.:12:47.

life. Two people gone from one family. A Wendy Fowl. In her city,

:12:48.:12:59.

friends observed the minute's silence. Joined by relatives.

:13:00.:13:04.

Devastated, because she knew a lot of people, she had a lot of friends

:13:05.:13:09.

and family. And I think even if people who just knew of her, it is

:13:10.:13:17.

just such a tragedy. It is awful. Also named today, Chloe Rutherford

:13:18.:13:26.

and Liam Curry. They died together. Elaine McIver, a police officer who

:13:27.:13:31.

loved music and was on a night out off duty. Flowers have been laid at

:13:32.:13:38.

Cheshire police headquarters for Elaine. She worked for the organised

:13:39.:13:48.

crime unit. She spent 20 years work ing for the police her colleagues

:13:49.:13:51.

and friends came into work to learn they had lost one of their own.

:13:52.:13:55.

There was a book of condolence opened for the police officer.

:13:56.:13:59.

Elaine from all I have heard, embodies all the best about the

:14:00.:14:01.

police service and she cared about the community and victims and left a

:14:02.:14:07.

lasting impression on those who met her. The families of those killed

:14:08.:14:14.

can hardly take it all in. Last night one mother shared her grief at

:14:15.:14:19.

a vigil to mark the loss of her daughter, Olivia. It is such a hard

:14:20.:14:24.

time for us. I had to come. I didn't know what to do. I don't know where

:14:25.:14:28.

to be. I don't know what to do. I just knew... Something told me I had

:14:29.:14:34.

to come here. And the injured, so many injured, have so much to come

:14:35.:14:41.

to terms with. 15-year-old Laura has had surgery to remove shrapnel. My

:14:42.:14:47.

ears went all muffled and I could see everyone rushing around. I think

:14:48.:14:51.

I was screaming. I felt pain in my legs I think. 22 killed, more than a

:14:52.:14:57.

hundred injured. We know their names and their stories. But we will never

:14:58.:15:01.

understand their terrible loss. Today the NHS said a total of 116

:15:02.:15:09.

people have received treatment There are 75 patients

:15:10.:15:11.

still in hospital. The response to the bombing involved

:15:12.:15:16.

medical staff across eight NHS Our reporter Sima Kotecha has been

:15:17.:15:22.

speaking to one of the nurses When we found out it was

:15:23.:15:27.

a children's concert, it was... I'm a mum and I've got

:15:28.:15:38.

kids, daughters etc, And to know that they

:15:39.:15:41.

were frightened, to know that people were lost,

:15:42.:15:48.

to know that colleagues in the emergency services

:15:49.:15:57.

that were on the scene, by the time they came here,

:15:58.:15:59.

to know that they were dealing with that at the scene,

:16:00.:16:03.

it makes your blood run cold. Charlotte was on duty

:16:04.:16:07.

the night a bomb ripped She was working at Stepping Hill

:16:08.:16:08.

Hospital, one of eight in the region My job on that night was to ensure

:16:09.:16:13.

the safety and wellbeing of the patients and staff,

:16:14.:16:28.

ensuring everybody had what they needed in order to care

:16:29.:16:29.

for the patients that It was only hours later the enormity

:16:30.:16:30.

of what happened began to sink in. I cried a lot when I got home

:16:31.:16:34.

for the people that I knew whose I cried a lot for the people whose

:16:35.:16:38.

lives had been changed in ways that they could never go back

:16:39.:16:45.

to normal after this. I cried for the potential,

:16:46.:16:48.

you know, my children, Do they need to be frightened

:16:49.:16:49.

going to school tomorrow? Hospital staff here

:16:50.:17:20.

have support available. Someone to talk to

:17:21.:17:20.

when it gets too much. Even though this is what

:17:21.:17:23.

they are hired to do, the full impact of what they have

:17:24.:17:24.

witnessed is yet to be felt. The atrocity that they saw that

:17:25.:17:29.

night, I know they close their eyes and see those pictures,

:17:30.:17:29.

as do I, and trying to get that out of your head when you come back

:17:30.:17:32.

to work the next day is difficult. That was Charlotte Brownhill

:17:33.:17:33.

speaking to Sima Kotecha. Police in Manchester

:17:34.:17:34.

have condemned the leak in the United States

:17:35.:17:35.

of information relating to their investigation

:17:36.:17:36.

into Monday's attack. The publication of sensitive images

:17:37.:17:37.

in the New York Times has prompted officers here to say they would now

:17:38.:17:41.

limit the amount of information they're willing to share

:17:42.:17:44.

with counterparts in America. Today President Trump has promised

:17:45.:17:46.

to root out the source of the leak. Our Deputy Political Editor

:17:47.:17:50.

John Pienaar has this report on the transatlantic

:17:51.:17:52.

row over intelligence. A flying visit by Theresa May,

:17:53.:17:58.

straight from the British front Here to build alliances

:17:59.:18:01.

with partners and repair them She wanted more co-operation

:18:02.:18:05.

against terrorism and no more damage to investigations,

:18:06.:18:10.

like the leaks of intelligence by American officials

:18:11.:18:12.

after the Manchester attack. We have a special relationship

:18:13.:18:17.

with the USA, it is our deepest defence and security partnership

:18:18.:18:20.

that we have. Of course, that partnership is built

:18:21.:18:24.

on trust and part of that trust is knowing that intelligence can be

:18:25.:18:27.

shared confidently, and I will be making clear to President Trump

:18:28.:18:30.

today that intelligence that is shared between law

:18:31.:18:36.

enforcement agencies must remain secure.

:18:37.:18:46.

Thank you. These images of bomb debris

:18:47.:18:50.

after the blast were leaked to the US media by American

:18:51.:18:51.

officials, so was British officials were furious

:18:52.:19:00.

at the leaks and the story REPORTER: Mr President,

:19:01.:19:02.

can the British trust No answer, yet, but at

:19:03.:19:05.

a ceremony for Nato leaders, Innocent little girls and so many

:19:06.:19:06.

others were horribly murdered. It was a barbaric and vicious attack

:19:07.:19:15.

upon our civilisation. All people who cherish life

:19:16.:19:19.

must unite in finding, exposing and removing these killers

:19:20.:19:24.

and extremists and, yes, losers. But leaders were forced to listen

:19:25.:19:33.

as the President gave them a severe telling off over missed targets

:19:34.:19:40.

for defence spending. But 23 of the 28 member nations

:19:41.:19:44.

are still not paying what they should be paying

:19:45.:19:47.

and what they're supposed to be This is not fair to the people

:19:48.:19:50.

and taxpayers of the United States. No doubt about who considered

:19:51.:20:00.

himself the alpha leader here, but Mrs May had mentioned

:20:01.:20:02.

the importance of sharing intelligence and those

:20:03.:20:06.

Manchester leaks wrangled. The President released a statement

:20:07.:20:11.

calling the leaks "deeply troubling" and promising to bring anyone found

:20:12.:20:13.

responsible to justice. Facing terrorism, confronting

:20:14.:20:18.

other challenges, Britain needs its so-called special

:20:19.:20:19.

relationship with America to be just Trust was damaged, just

:20:20.:20:22.

when it was most needed and now, American promises to do better

:20:23.:20:30.

in future may ease the tension. Mrs May and her ministers have no

:20:31.:20:33.

choice but to accept them anyway, but fully repairing the lost trust

:20:34.:20:37.

and confidence, that'll take time. This evening solidarity is on show

:20:38.:20:42.

with President Trump, There'll be more help for operations

:20:43.:20:44.

against Islamic State, more British help training

:20:45.:20:52.

troops in Afghanistan. Leaders want to be seen working

:20:53.:20:54.

together but Theresa May wants more, more co-operation

:20:55.:20:57.

against the threats Our North America Editor Jon

:20:58.:20:58.

Sopel is in Brussels. let me take you back to the argument

:20:59.:21:18.

over Nato defence spending. It was an extraordinary lecture from Donald

:21:19.:21:23.

Trump. It was extraordinary I suppose, except by the standards of

:21:24.:21:27.

Donald Trump who came to the summit with the idea of reading the riot

:21:28.:21:33.

act. It would not have been a comfortable listen for those

:21:34.:21:39.

leaders, and yet the relationship between them and Donald Trump is not

:21:40.:21:43.

quite as cordial as it might appear at events like this. Meanwhile Nato

:21:44.:21:49.

will offer more cooperation to the organisation is going on against

:21:50.:21:53.

Islamic State in Iraq and Syria to help with such things as mid air

:21:54.:21:59.

refuelling of combat flight. Britain will be committing more forces to

:22:00.:22:03.

training on the ground in Afghanistan. As far as the argument

:22:04.:22:06.

over information being leaked, British ministers will hope they can

:22:07.:22:11.

believe American reassurances that will stop in future. Hope is all

:22:12.:22:15.

they can do, and when you look at the challenges of today, the

:22:16.:22:20.

conferences around the world confronting Russia, that

:22:21.:22:25.

relationship arguably has never been as important as it is now since

:22:26.:22:30.

World War II. Thank you very much.

:22:31.:22:33.

There was a partial resumption of campaigning in the general

:22:34.:22:35.

election today as the leader of Ukip, Paul Nuttall,

:22:36.:22:37.

But the event was overshadowed by the party's accusation that

:22:38.:22:40.

Theresa May had "some responsibility" for

:22:41.:22:42.

The current Home Secretary, Amber Rudd, said it was not the time

:22:43.:22:46.

Our political editor, Laura Kuenssberg, reports.

:22:47.:22:56.

Manchester on everyone's minds, but Ukip's manifesto was hardly a quiet

:22:57.:23:04.

affair. The party accusing Theresa May of playing a part in creating

:23:05.:23:10.

the circumstances that led to Monday's attack. The Prime Minister

:23:11.:23:15.

has, during her time in high office, presided over cuts to our peace

:23:16.:23:21.

service and reductions in our Armed Forces too. It is also a dereliction

:23:22.:23:28.

of duty to allow jihadis to return to this country. He's promising

:23:29.:23:32.

thousands of extra police, soldiers and border guards. His supporters

:23:33.:23:39.

jeered reporters questioning the party's claims. Ask a sensible

:23:40.:23:48.

question! It sounds like you are near as dammit blaming the Prime

:23:49.:23:51.

Minister for this attack and the circumstances that led to it. Don't

:23:52.:23:58.

you understand English? Stupid question! I am not blaming her, what

:23:59.:24:05.

I'm saying is the politicians in this country are too cowardly at the

:24:06.:24:10.

moment to face up to the real issue. Yet the deputy chair did say Theresa

:24:11.:24:15.

May must bear some responsibility. I think all politicians who voted for

:24:16.:24:20.

the reduction of spending in security services and with the

:24:21.:24:23.

police have to bear some sort of responsibility. So the Prime

:24:24.:24:28.

Minister in your view has to bear some responsibility? All politicians

:24:29.:24:32.

who voted for a reduction in spending in security services and

:24:33.:24:41.

the police must look at themselves in the mirror. Ukip has been

:24:42.:24:41.

struggling to keep pace since the EU vote last year but in Clacton today

:24:42.:24:47.

the only place ever to choose a Ukip MP, today's tougher approach did

:24:48.:24:51.

find some favour. I think the borders need to be closed off at the

:24:52.:24:55.

minute. They cannot check everybody, they are cutting down the police

:24:56.:25:01.

force, the Army... Yet for other politicians it is too soon. I think

:25:02.:25:06.

it is entirely the wrong approach. We are supporting the police,

:25:07.:25:10.

intelligence service and victims. We need to make sure they get the

:25:11.:25:15.

support they need, it is not a time for making political points. You are

:25:16.:25:19.

feeding the fears that caused the problem in this country today. Ukip

:25:20.:25:23.

deliberately wants to be seen as the party that is ready to say the

:25:24.:25:27.

unsayable. Our first on the stump today since the Manchester attack,

:25:28.:25:32.

but challenging extremism has been noticeably absent from the

:25:33.:25:34.

election... Not any more. But voters have been moving

:25:35.:25:48.

away from Ukip, and with net migration on the way down and

:25:49.:25:50.

Britain leaving the EU, perhaps the party today is just trying to keep

:25:51.:25:52.

up. Laura, you mentioned the fall in net

:25:53.:25:58.

migration, how does that play into the election campaign? It provides

:25:59.:26:02.

the backdrop. This has been one of the biggest political concerns for

:26:03.:26:06.

the public for quite some time. It was one of the dominant issues in

:26:07.:26:10.

the EU referendum last year and today we learned net migration, the

:26:11.:26:14.

difference between the number of people packing their bags and

:26:15.:26:17.

leaving for elsewhere and the number of people moving here is down, and

:26:18.:26:26.

down by more than 80,000 to 240 8000. That's still a significant

:26:27.:26:32.

number of people, roughly the population of a city like Hull, but

:26:33.:26:35.

it is significant because it is more than double the Government's target

:26:36.:26:42.

of getting it under the 100,000. Second of all, this is mainly due to

:26:43.:26:45.

the number of people coming here from other countries in the EU, far

:26:46.:26:51.

fewer of them coming and many more leaving, and maybe that is just down

:26:52.:26:55.

to the EU referendum vote last year. Other people from other places

:26:56.:27:00.

around the continent have decided for whatever reason the UK looks

:27:01.:27:03.

like a less attractive destination to make their home. Whether that is

:27:04.:27:08.

something to cheer or whether you think that is something depressing

:27:09.:27:12.

because we are less attractive place to be on one of the biggest

:27:13.:27:16.

political concerns in the last couple of years, the numbers are

:27:17.:27:20.

starting to move. Laura, thank you very much.

:27:21.:27:24.

The Court of Appeal has ruled that doctors can stop providing

:27:25.:27:26.

life-support treatment to the nine-month-old

:27:27.:27:27.

His parents raised more than ?1 million

:27:28.:27:32.

because they wanted to take him to America for

:27:33.:27:34.

But the judges agreed with Great Ormond Street Hospital

:27:35.:27:41.

in London that it was in Charlie's best interests to give him

:27:42.:27:44.

Conservative plans to give a free breakfast to every primary school

:27:45.:27:49.

child in England could cost three times more than the

:27:50.:27:52.

Independent experts say setting aside only ?60 million a year

:27:53.:27:55.

to pay for the manifesto pledge won't cover many of the costs.

:27:56.:27:58.

The Conservatives said they would scrap free lunches

:27:59.:28:01.

in the first three years of schooling, replacing it

:28:02.:28:03.

with breakfast for all primary school children.

:28:04.:28:10.

50 years ago today, Celtic became the first British

:28:11.:28:12.

football club to win the European Cup.

:28:13.:28:14.

The team became known as the Lisbon Lions.

:28:15.:28:18.

As our Special Correspondent Allan Little reports,

:28:19.:28:20.

that victory in Portugal still carries a symbolic importance

:28:21.:28:22.

The home movie is 50 years old, it captures

:28:23.:28:30.

a moment in history, far, far weightier than

:28:31.:28:32.

I had to go and get a temporary passport.

:28:33.:28:41.

Jim McGugan was at the match, he shot these pictures.

:28:42.:28:44.

Celtic was founded 130 years ago as the team of Glasgow's large

:28:45.:28:47.

It still finds its most loyal support there.

:28:48.:28:53.

For decades, that community suffered systematic workplace discrimination

:28:54.:28:57.

in a Scotland still shaped by its Protestantism.

:28:58.:29:01.

It was like Scotland's dirty little secret,

:29:02.:29:04.

that was never quite spoken about, but everybody knew

:29:05.:29:06.

The 1967 European Cup Final coincided with a moment

:29:07.:29:12.

when Scotland and this community's place in it began to change.

:29:13.:29:19.

This is a narrative throughout a whole generation of young Celtic

:29:20.:29:22.

supporters who grew up and said those men there are symbols,

:29:23.:29:28.

you know, and we look up to them and say -

:29:29.:29:31.

we can be - and not certainly as football players -

:29:32.:29:34.

but we can emulate them in other ways and in other walks of life,

:29:35.:29:38.

and that's all what we all grew up wanting to do.

:29:39.:29:42.

COMMENTATOR: Inter Milan kick off, and in a continental

:29:43.:29:45.

Celtic went to Lisbon to take on the mighty Inter Milan,

:29:46.:29:48.

the team carried the hopes of of a community shaped

:29:49.:29:51.

50 years on, this place, Celtic Park, remains

:29:52.:29:59.

a focus of collective memory and identity.

:30:00.:30:02.

I was born nine months and three days later.

:30:03.:30:05.

So, you know, read into that what you may.

:30:06.:30:07.

I am absolutely a child of Lisbon and I feel really proud

:30:08.:30:12.

about that because our family, our environment, our community

:30:13.:30:14.

was very much based around that platform.

:30:15.:30:19.

You know, so I look at footage of Lisbon and I almost feel part

:30:20.:30:23.

of it, even though I know I wasn't there, but I look at it

:30:24.:30:26.

At the final whistle the score was 2-1, Celtic became the first

:30:27.:30:30.

British club to win the European Cup.

:30:31.:30:33.

In the decades that lay ahead, Scotland's Irish Catholics

:30:34.:30:37.

would emerge from their entrenched disadvantage and inequality.

:30:38.:30:58.

Scotland's leading historian is himself from an Irish

:30:59.:30:59.

We weren't exactly an underclass, but we were pretty close to it.

:31:00.:31:05.

This team was the sporting champion of that ethnicity.

:31:06.:31:07.

That was probably almost as significant as the visit

:31:08.:31:10.

of the Pope to Scotland, first ever visit

:31:11.:31:12.

It was, if you like, a stage in their emancipation.

:31:13.:31:15.

That is why these flickering images resonate so powerfully,

:31:16.:31:17.

It was already hot as I came in this morning. It has been the hottest day

:31:18.:31:33.

of the year so far. Let me show you the table there. 28 is 82 Fahrenheit

:31:34.:31:39.

and I think that will be beaten tomorrow by some parts. We have had

:31:40.:31:44.

plenty of weather watcher pictures in, this is Cornwall, beautiful,

:31:45.:31:50.

isn't it? Overnight we pick up some fog near the North Sea coast but it

:31:51.:31:54.

will be fairly remote foremost. It is a clear night, the most notable

:31:55.:31:59.

feature is how warm it will be, not just by day but Monty by night,

:32:00.:32:08.

particularly in north. -- muggy by night. Only really around Winwood

:32:09.:32:22.

coasts will it be any cooler. Even if it is cooler, more refreshing

:32:23.:32:26.

around the coasts, the levels of UV are just as high, it is not

:32:27.:32:30.

temperature dependent, and unusually we are seeing very high levels of UV

:32:31.:32:36.

in the country. That is high for here in the UK. As would go through

:32:37.:32:40.

tomorrow evening and overnight we have this area of low pressure

:32:41.:32:44.

moving in so it is the breakdown. As is ever the case with these

:32:45.:32:48.

breakdowns, it is difficult to pinpoint the detail but it looks

:32:49.:32:52.

like Northern Ireland, western Scotland, England and Wales will

:32:53.:32:56.

bear the brunt of some of the heaviest showers on Saturday. Then

:32:57.:33:01.

if you like it is an improving picture in the north on Sunday,

:33:02.:33:05.

fresher and brighter, still some show us around but with humidity

:33:06.:33:10.

remaining in southern and eastern areas there will always be the risk

:33:11.:33:13.

of further downpours, but as ever we will update you. A reminder of our

:33:14.:33:20.

main story: Police in Manchester say they have made significant arrests

:33:21.:33:23.

in the investigation into the bombing on Monday night at

:33:24.:33:28.

Manchester Arena. Today the last of the victims was identified.

:33:29.:33:29.

That's all from the BBC News at Six, so it's goodbye from me

:33:30.:33:32.

and on BBC One we now join the BBC's news teams where you are.
