MI5 is to review its own handling of information from the public

about the threat posed by the Manchester bomber

New footage of him on the day before the attack, as the Home Secretary

makes clear the focus should remain on catching his network.

I think it's too early to try and look where mistakes -

if they were made - might have been made.

I think the important thing is to conclude the operation now.

Theresa May and Jeremy Corbyn face the public tonight in a televised

Looking at that CCTV, it is the same guy that has been

approach to Brexit could weaken Britain's ability

Terrorists have attacked across Europe.

Countries like France, Belgium and Sweden, as well as the UK,

have all been targeted in recent years.

As Britain prepares for Brexit, the Lib Dems are warning

we could end up cut off from important security information.

If the Conservatives do not back down and admit

they have got this wrong, and that they do have to abide

by the rules and the European laws that underpin data-sharing,

we will be cut off from some of the most powerful databases

that we presently use to go after would-be terrorists

The Schengen Information System is a database of real-time alerts.

It contains information on thousands of people,

including suspected criminals wanted under the European Arrest Warrant.

In 2016 the UK police and security services used it more

The equivalent to 16 checks per second.

The EU's leaders and the Prime Minister have said continued

cooperation on security is a priority in the

Out campaigning today, Theresa May said she was committed

to keeping not just Britain but Europe safe too.

I'm very clear that we continue to want a deep and special

partnership with the remaining 27 countries in the European Union

and we will continue to be committed to working with others in Europe

both in terms of we want a comprehensive free trade agreement

The Prime Minister has previously indicated that if Brexit talks end

in failure and without a deal, our cooperation in the fight

against crime and terrorism could be weakened.

It is an indication she sees Britain's police and security

intelligence as a bit of a trump card in the negotiations.

In the wake of the attack in Manchester, security

and counterterrorism are likely to stay high on the campaign agenda.

The challenge for whoever wins - keeping the public safe

With 10 days until the country goes to the polls, Theresa May

and Jeremy Corbyn will take part in their first General Election TV

debate today but they won't be facing one another.

The party leaders will be interviewed separately

by Jeremy Paxman, before facing questions from a studio audience.

Our Political Correspondent Ben Wright is outside

So will this feel like the moment the election is restarting

I think it will feel like the Labour and Tory campaign is at least today

are mobilising again the following the truce last week. Senior

politicians from both the main parties are turning up now to spin

lines and briefed journalists after this event is over. It is not a

head-to-head debate, both leaders will take questions both from the

audience before their grilled by Jeremy Paxman. I think the stakes

for Theresa May and Jeremy Corbyn are high. The Prime Minister will be

wanting to calm jitters within her own party following confusion about

the Tories social care policy. There's a sudden imposition of a cap

on care costs just a week ago and I think she will want to try to move

the party beyond that and focus the campaign again on leadership and

security, on Brexit, something that Theresa May was campaigning on

earlier today, reminding supporters that Brett said negotiations would

begin just 11 days after polling day. For Jeremy Corbyn is also a big

evening, a big platform, a chance for him to spell out a manifesto

that is quite dramatically different to many of the policy

offerings that are being put forward by Theresa May. So a lot riding on

this for both of them and I think the strategists going into this will

want to land the key messages but there are dealing with an

unpredictable studio audience. That is always a variable in this and

that is why these debates can often change the election whether in quite

surprising ways. Thank you. The chief executive

of British Airways Alex Cruz says he won't resign over the computer

failure which disrupted tens of thousands of people's travel over

the Bank Holiday weekend. In his first interview since the IT

crash, Mr Cruz said apologised - and said that a power surge had

caused computer failure, and that BA services have returned

to normal at Gatwick, Our Transport Correspondent

Richard Westcott reports. How can a computer glitch be allowed

to ruin holidays. The BA boss has broken cover to admit their back-up

system fails. The actual problem lasted only a few minutes so there

was a power surge and back-up system which did not work about point in

time. It was restored after a few hours in terms of some power changes

but took a long time for messaging and systems to come back up.

Terminal 5 is now getting back to something like normality but it's

one thing getting people on their aircraft but it will take be a far

longer to ease anger at the way that they handled the whole situation.

The meltdown hits 75,000 passengers across the world. Each with a

different story but one main complaint. No one was telling them

what was going on. I work in IT and when there is an IT problem it is

basic enterprise practice to have a disaster recovery solution. They

should have had a communication system and booking system in

different places so at least they could send us an e-mail. You have to

do a lot better in terms of me getting with people. Because that is

the number one, people accept sometimes there are problems but

that is the number-1 thing. We're fully aware that communications must

be better especially with social mini -- social media. So we will

continue to invest in resources and ways in which we can directly reach

out to people. BA made hundreds of IT staff redundant recently.

Outsourcing jobs to India to save money. There may be terminals in

this country of BEA Systems but they are now managed and applied by

offshore people in India. Let me put this to the boss, if they were still

BA employees, we could assure him that that issue would have been

resolved in minutes. And the systems would be up and running. When I put

it to the boss he flatly denied that outsourcing had made any difference.

So totally unconnected, completely unconnected with all those

redundancies and the outsourcing? Absolutely, yes. Apart from some

short-haul flights from Heathrow, BA managed to fly most of its

passengers today. One estimate has put the compensation bill is around

?150 million, you cannot put a price on the damage to their reputation.

Police across Britain caught almost 6,000 motorists in March,

The golfer Tiger Woods has been arrested on suspicion

The 14-time major champion was taken into custody this morning

near his Florida home and was released a few hours later.

It's his second arrest for drink driving,

His personal life came under intense scrutiny after being charged with

careless driving in 2009. There's been a serious incident

at a zoo near Huntingdon in Cambridgeshire this afternoon.

Ben Ando is there for us. The police and emergency services

were called at 11:15 this morning and the zoo was immediately

evacuated after reports of problems in the Tiger enclosure. Two members

of the zoo staff have come out and handed out a short statement, they

were too distressed to talk to us or answer any questions. They say that

one of their colleagues was killed at the zoo this morning. It appears

to be a freak accident, an investigation is underway and they

hope more details can be announced as soon as they are able. At no

point did any and all is explained the enclosures, and at no point was

public safety endangered. They also save the zoo will be closed

tomorrow. The police, you can see, are still here. Certainly, that

investigation will be asking serious questions about how it came to be,

as we have just learned, that a zoo keeper was killed here at Hamerton

Zoo part in the tiger enclosure this morning. At no point, they say, were

any members of the public at risk. Thanks very much.

League's newest arrival and the rest of the day's sport,

here's James Pearce Huddersfield Town have won

the richest prize in football. They beat Reading on penalties

in the Championship play-off final to earn promotion

to the Premier League. It will be Huddersfield's

first season in the top division for 45 years.

David Ornstein is at Wembley. The last game of the English season,

arguably the most important, certainly the mostly gritter. At

stake, the final place in next season's Premier League, a prize

worth at least ?170 million. A year ago, Huddersfield and Reading looked

more likely to be well gay did than promoted. But now a royal occasion

to decide who would rise to football's promised land.

Huddersfield have been outside the top tier since 1972, and their hopes

were not helped by finishing like this when it looked easier for Brown

to score than miss. Reading tried their luck from further out, but

were no more successful. There was barely anything to choose between

the sides in the regular season, nor could they be separated in regular

time here, with chances few and far between at either end. An extra 30

minutes proved just as tight, so penalties would be needed. And after

being denied, Christopher Schindler made no mistake to send Huddersfield

into dreamland. Their 45 year wait ended in the most dramatic fashion.

Back to the election, and as we heard earlier,

the Conservatives are keen to focus again on Brexit, while Labour hope

One key battleground will be the city of Wolverhampton

in the West Midlands, where nearly one in five

is from an Asian or African Caribbean background.

It's three seats are held by Labour, but a majority in the city voted

Here's our Midlands Political Editor Patrick Burns on how

Wolverhampton has a particularly diverse mix of ethnic minorities,

the Asian community is by far the biggest.

One clear majority though, the 63% for Leave in the referendum.

To find out how the core Labour vote is faring in all of this,

I've come to the local Sikh temple, or Gurdwara.

Do you talk to friends and family around here

about how they are going to vote in the election?

What do they say about maybe having a change of heart this time?

he would like to vote Conservative now.

And then, I have voted Labour all my life, but I decided to

My mind leads me to the Conservatives.

I voted Conservative because of their policies for Brexit.

I think what we may be seeing here is a fragmentation

of the Labour vote, so striking there in the Asian

community where the Conservatives have been trying to win support

Well now, maybe, Brexit could be the game changer.

In search of a wider reflection of opinion I move on.

The reason why we're having this election, we are told,

Is that what it'd really is all about for you?

I haven't really brought Brexit into it.

I've thought about what these parties can

do for people like me, I think that would be the best

Which way do you think you're going to vote when the time comes?

I've voted Labour all my life, but I'm not quite sure how

If I'm not voting Labour, I won't vote Conservative anyway.

People who are socially frustrated and use Europe

as a scapegoat and the Labour Party, for me, is going to be far more

beneficial to the majority of the people than what I have heard

The city's main tram stop is my journey's end as well.

Evening commuters are heading home from work.

Why do you think so many people in Wolverhampton voted

to leave the European Union last year?

I just think they want rights for British people back.

How does this lead to people voting, do you think,

between the different parties? For me, personally, Conservative.

I think they're the party to take us to the Brexit we voted for.

Now let's return to our main story and the Manchester bombing.

It's a week since the attack that claimed 22 lives.

The city is attempting to move on while still coming

This afternoon Ariana Grande, whose concert came to

such an appalling end, said she would return

to Manchester for a concert at Old Trafford this Sunday.

going to change some of the things they do.

When they were very deliberately targeted.

Yes. I do, yes.

We have just been to a hotel and partner,

and there was some armed police down checking the car.

This kind of police presence is judged necessary, perhaps just for

reassurance. And people need that, including the injured, some of whom

have only just returned home. It has made me quite a fighting person,

something which I have never been. And very wary. Manchester has

experienced a week of grief and mourning. Seven days that have

shaken spirits in this City, but it's been a time of unity, despite
