:01:11. > :01:14.greater Manchester and one we all hoped we would never see, families
:01:15. > :01:18.and many young people were out to enjoy a concert at Manchester Arena
:01:19. > :01:20.and have very sadly lost their lives.
:01:21. > :01:24.But police have made a second arrest on a day of rapid developments
:01:25. > :01:28.And we'll hear the stories of community spirit and kindness -
:01:29. > :01:33.as the region pulls together to help those caught up in the attack.
:01:34. > :01:55.The region pulls together to help those
:01:56. > :02:02.The people of Manchester have been here in their thousands. Holding a
:02:03. > :02:06.vigil in memory of the 22 people that were killed and the 59 who were

:02:13. > :02:15.at Manchester Arena last night. Among those who were killed, the
:02:16. > :02:24.youngest to be named so far, eight years old, Saffie Rose Roussos,
:02:25. > :02:28.primary schoolgirl, attending a pop concert for the very first time, she
:02:29. > :02:31.travelled from her home in West Lancashire to Manchester, to watch
:02:32. > :02:36.the performance. We will look back at the horrific events in the next
:02:37. > :02:45.few minutes as well as the police investigation and the defiant spirit
:02:46. > :02:46.of the city. But first Naomi Cornwell reports of the tragic story
:02:47. > :02:50.of the victims. Three young music fans who went
:02:51. > :02:53.to a concert and never came home. The first of the 22
:02:54. > :02:55.victims to be named. The West Lancashire village
:02:56. > :02:58.of Tarleton feels a world But the effects of last night's
:02:59. > :03:02.attack are being felt deeply here. Today, this community is reeling
:03:03. > :03:05.from the loss of two girls. Saffie Roussos is the youngest
:03:06. > :03:08.victim to be named. Today, the headteacher
:03:09. > :03:12.of her primary school described her as a beautiful little
:03:13. > :03:15.girl who was loved by everyone and whose warmth and kindness
:03:16. > :03:22.will be remembered fondly. The school has called
:03:23. > :03:24.in specialist support to help Georgina Callander also
:03:25. > :03:29.lived in the area. Friends described her
:03:30. > :03:42.as a superfan of Ariana Grande. It's devastating, my daughter left
:03:43. > :03:46.for school at 8:30am, and I was just praying that nobody from her school
:03:47. > :03:51.was involved, around 11am, the school announced Georgina Callander
:03:52. > :03:59.had been confirmed, that she had passed away last night, and then
:04:00. > :04:01.another one in Tarlton. Came in last week, before she went on holiday, it
:04:02. > :04:05.is horrible. Can't believe it. Georgina had been studying health
:04:06. > :04:10.and social care in Leyland. Today, Runshaw College
:04:11. > :04:12.offered its deepest sympathies, thoughts and prayers
:04:13. > :04:14.to all of Georgina's family, She was a former youth player
:04:15. > :04:26.with Bolton Wanderers football club. She was a passionate football in the
:04:27. > :04:32.under 11s team and played for us in 2010. For her to have lost her life
:04:33. > :04:37.in these circumstances in is just a terrible thing. Our love and our
:04:38. > :04:38.prayers go out to her family and our support.
:04:39. > :04:40.This afternoon, tributes were also being paid
:04:41. > :04:42.online to John Atkinson, from Radcliffe, near Bury.
:04:43. > :04:45.Described by friends as "an amazing young man".
:04:46. > :04:47.Across the region, other families are still awaiting news
:04:48. > :04:57.Among them, 15-year-old Olivia Campbell from Ramsbottom.
:04:58. > :05:00.Alison Howe and Lisa Lees, two mums from Royton who'd gone
:05:01. > :05:02.to pick up their children from the arena.
:05:03. > :05:03.And 29-year-old Martin Hett from Stockport.
:05:04. > :05:06.His family's been unable to contact him since the concert.
:05:07. > :05:09.Anyone worried a relative could have been caught up in the attack should
:05:10. > :06:10.call Greater Manchester Police on 0800 096 0095.
:06:11. > :06:12.The full horror of the atrocity became apparent around
:06:13. > :06:16.Thousands of Ariana Granda fans pouring out of the Arena.
:06:17. > :06:18.Jubilation from the concert turned to devastation at the doorway.
:06:19. > :06:21.It was a scene of panic and confusion, death and horror
:06:22. > :06:24.One of the first reporters there was Clare Fallon -
:06:25. > :06:30.17,000 people inside the arena, from the details we have been given, it
:06:31. > :06:32.seems like this was an attack that was designed to cause maximum
:06:33. > :06:35.devastation, designed to kill as many people as possible and I say
:06:36. > :06:40.that because of the timing. This man didn't make it into the arena
:06:41. > :06:42.itself, he was in the lobby, he waited for the concert to come to an
:06:43. > :06:49.end, for people to begin pouring out to go home. Of course, some of those
:06:50. > :06:52.people did not make it home because of the attack.
:06:53. > :07:18.Oh, my God. What's going on?
:07:19. > :07:21.The sound of fear filled the arena as people ran.
:07:22. > :07:25.And the enormity of what had happened soon became clear.
:07:26. > :07:28.Did you get a sense of what it was, it was an explosion?
:07:29. > :07:36.Yes, definitely an explosion, because there's nuts
:07:37. > :07:39.Yeah, there are nuts and bolts everywhere.
:07:40. > :07:42.So you think this was some kind of deliberate...
:07:43. > :07:43.Yes, of course it was. Not accidental.
:07:44. > :07:47.As we were coming out the door, we just heard
:07:48. > :07:50.And then, what, you ran? We just ran, yeah.
:07:51. > :07:54.With so many people hurt - some of them catastrophically -
:07:55. > :07:55.inside the arena and Victoria station,
:07:56. > :08:01.Having seen things no adult - let alone child - should ever see,
:08:02. > :08:03.Amelia told me she's one of the lucky ones.
:08:04. > :08:05.Suddenly, like, something really hot just flew over us
:08:06. > :08:11.and my mum and my sister and we all, like,
:08:12. > :08:34.Obviously, my wife's injured and my daughter's injured.
:08:35. > :08:39.I think she's got some cuts and stuff like that.
:08:40. > :08:42.More ambulances arrived to treat the seemingly endless
:08:43. > :08:45.They were taken to eight hospitals across Greater Manchester.
:08:46. > :08:49.It was a stampede, really, so we just got out
:08:50. > :08:53.We just saw injured people, people on the floor,
:08:54. > :08:56.and just got as far away as we could.
:08:57. > :08:58.And what kind of injuries did you see?
:08:59. > :09:00.Saw one fella carrying his daughter and she were bleeding.
:09:01. > :09:07.So we just got away, so we didn't see much.
:09:08. > :09:13.So we just got away, so we didn't see much.
:09:14. > :09:23.They were hysterical, these two, so I had to get out.
:09:24. > :09:28.As parents held their children that bit closer,
:09:29. > :09:31.I watched as one small girl was led away by a police officer.
:09:32. > :09:41.And yet it still seems unimaginable.
:09:42. > :09:45.The thing I have noticed in Manchester last night and in the
:09:46. > :09:50.aftermath of the attack and also during the day today is the response
:09:51. > :09:54.of people to each other. I have seen people walking down the street
:09:55. > :09:58.smiling at each other. In some ways, that is an attempt to show some kind
:09:59. > :09:59.of humanity after such an appalling atrocity was committed here last
:10:00. > :10:17.night. Let's get this report from Peter
:10:18. > :10:18.Marshall on the effort to help all those who were ended in yesterday's
:10:19. > :10:25.bomb attack. They were faced with wave after wave
:10:26. > :10:28.of seriously injured children and adults.
:10:29. > :10:29.Eight hospitals across Greater Manchester -
:10:30. > :10:32.300 ambulance staff - all called on to help treat
:10:33. > :10:34.the 59 casualties taken by ambulance for treatment.
:10:35. > :10:35.12 seriously injured under 16-year-olds went
:10:36. > :10:38.Nine patients to Manchester Royal Infirmary.
:10:39. > :10:41.Six to Salford Royal's trauma centre.
:10:42. > :10:43.Five other hospitals also treated the injured.
:10:44. > :10:51.She was at the concert last night and escaped injury -
:10:52. > :10:54.but she was here to visit her father, who was hit
:10:55. > :10:57.by the blast while waiting outside to collect her.
:10:58. > :11:00.Just after the concert finished and the lights went on,
:11:01. > :11:03.we started to walk down the stairs with my friend and we just
:11:04. > :11:05.heard a really loud bang and all of a sudden,
:11:06. > :11:13.They evacuated everywhere and I couldn't find my dad.
:11:14. > :11:16.I think he's broke his leg and done something to his head.
:11:17. > :11:18.We have had confirmation from the family members
:11:19. > :11:20.inside that he has come out of his operation this morning
:11:21. > :11:24.The emergency services train and train for awful
:11:25. > :11:27.incidents such as this, yet all would agree that no level
:11:28. > :11:29.of preparation can take away the sorrow and pain when something
:11:30. > :11:33.Their professionalism and dedication in helping all of those caught
:11:34. > :11:39.up in the tragedy has been highly praised.
:11:40. > :11:41.The emergency services had tested their response to such
:11:42. > :11:43.a terrorist incident as recently as a month ago.
:11:44. > :11:48.We sent 60 vehicles to the site, along with highly specialised crews,
:11:49. > :11:50.highly specialised teams, that are able to stabilise
:11:51. > :11:52.patients at the scene, ensure they received the right
:11:53. > :11:58.treatment at the scene before evacuation to the hospital.
:11:59. > :12:01.Clearly, there are a number of individuals who have very,
:12:02. > :12:03.very serious injuries and requiring intensive care and people
:12:04. > :12:11.who are going to be in hospital for a long time.
:12:12. > :12:18.You can imagine what injuries there might be through such a terrible,
:12:19. > :12:22.terrible device being detonated in a crowded space
:12:23. > :12:24.space and I wouldn't like
:12:25. > :12:31.to detail the injuries that we saw last night.
:12:32. > :12:35.As the police investigation has been going on throughout the day to try
:12:36. > :12:41.to establish exactly what happened, we now know the name of the bomber.
:12:42. > :12:44.But who help him? Where did he get his bomb? These questions have to be
:12:45. > :12:51.answered. This is Elsmore wrote in the follow your district of
:12:52. > :12:55.Manchester. Police activity here today has occurred here and other
:12:56. > :12:58.parts in the south of the city. To call it a fast-moving police
:12:59. > :13:02.investigation may seem like a cliche, but that is exactly what it
:13:03. > :13:10.has been. This morning at 11 o'clock in Chawton, we saw a 23-year-old man
:13:11. > :13:13.arrested. Then this afternoon in the past half-hour, police named the
:13:14. > :13:15.bomber as Salman Abedi, who is 22, just the latest part of this
:13:16. > :13:17.investigation. This street in Fallowfield one
:13:18. > :13:19.of several that received an unexpected visit from arned
:13:20. > :13:22.police this morning as the investigation into last
:13:23. > :13:26.night's outrage gathered pace. Just heard a big, like, boom,
:13:27. > :13:31.it was like a muffled boom and then we ran outside and everyone
:13:32. > :13:34.on my avenue came out in a panic, because we have a lot of kids that
:13:35. > :13:38.are in the school across the road. That bang was later confirmed
:13:39. > :13:40.by the police to be Everyone was panicking,
:13:41. > :13:45.I seen them all running out and there were police and forces
:13:46. > :13:48.running down this way. The police had quickly
:13:49. > :13:54.identified who they believed was responsible for the the attack,
:13:55. > :13:57.but they weren't in any hurry to The police and security
:13:58. > :14:00.services believe they know the identity of the perpetrator,
:14:01. > :14:02.but at this stage of their investigations,
:14:03. > :14:05.we cannot confirm his name. And the reason for that -
:14:06. > :14:07.they needed to know whether others had
:14:08. > :14:09.helped the killer plan his attack. To make the name public too quickly
:14:10. > :14:15.could tip off possible accomplices. David Anthony was head
:14:16. > :14:17.of specialist operations with Greater Manchester Police
:14:18. > :14:18.for several years. He says the priority for his former
:14:19. > :14:22.colleagues will be to gather as much information about the bomber
:14:23. > :14:24.as possible and as Is he part of a network
:14:25. > :14:32.within this country, within And so the morning saw
:14:33. > :14:39.extensive police activity A man of 23 arrested by armed police
:14:40. > :14:48.on a supermarket car park They dragged someone on the floor,
:14:49. > :14:54.on the pavement, across the road. And I've seen all of them screaming,
:14:55. > :14:57.shouting and I've seen a few of them kicking this man on the floor
:14:58. > :15:04.and they cuffed him. Soon afterwards, more raids
:15:05. > :15:06.in the Whalley Range At lunchtime, the Prime Minister
:15:07. > :15:14.arrived at GMP Headquarters for a briefing from Chef Constable
:15:15. > :15:17.Ian Hopkins and his senior officers. Then late this afternoon,
:15:18. > :15:19.the name of the bomber I can confirm that the man suspected
:15:20. > :15:24.of carrying out last night's atrocity is 22-year-old Salman
:15:25. > :15:31.Abedi. However, he has not yet been
:15:32. > :15:35.formally named by the coroner and I wouldn't wish to therefore
:15:36. > :15:38.to comment any further So in less than 24 hours,
:15:39. > :15:42.the police believe they know The big questions they must now
:15:43. > :15:57.answer - how did he do it Of course, this investigation is
:15:58. > :16:00.being headed by Greater Manchester Police and the north-west
:16:01. > :16:02.counterterrorism unit, but they are working with counterterrorism
:16:03. > :16:05.authorities from across the country because of course, there are try to
:16:06. > :16:11.find out whether this man was part of a network either here in the
:16:12. > :16:14.north-west or further afield. The police are also asking for anybody
:16:15. > :16:17.who has video or photographs that they took in Manchester last night
:16:18. > :16:20.to upload them to a special website that they are now running. From
:16:21. > :16:33.Fallowfield, back to Annabel. The vigil in Albert Square started
:16:34. > :16:36.at six o'clock this evening. So many people were here, you couldn't get
:16:37. > :16:40.through the crowds. People are here because they wanted to be. One woman
:16:41. > :16:44.tapped me on the shoulder looking emotional and she said, this is so
:16:45. > :16:50.awful, isn't it? And she's right. There are no words to describe it. I
:16:51. > :16:53.am joined now by a few people that were not involved last night, but
:16:54. > :16:58.felt they wanted to be here tonight. Mohammed, why did you want to come?
:16:59. > :17:03.I had to show my solidarity with the people. An overwhelming amount of
:17:04. > :17:10.people came today. We are just unfortunate that it happened to our
:17:11. > :17:13.town. But solidarity will defeat the ideology, because Manchester is a
:17:14. > :17:18.bighearted town and we will come back stronger from this. This city
:17:19. > :17:23.will recover. It has recovered before and it will again.
:17:24. > :17:27.Definitely. When we had the IRA bombing here a few years ago, the
:17:28. > :17:31.community got together and we will build again. You heard the speech
:17:32. > :17:37.today. We felt motivated. Everybody was putting their arms around each
:17:38. > :17:44.other. Everybody felt something. Abigail, at times there was some
:17:45. > :17:48.spontaneous applause. Every race, gender and sexuality were there.
:17:49. > :17:52.That is a good point, there are people of all faiths here. I was
:17:53. > :17:55.born and bred in Manchester and as a Muslim, I thought it was very
:17:56. > :17:59.important to attend and show solidarity not just for the victims
:18:00. > :18:06.of the tragic event yesterday, but to show unity between the Muslims,
:18:07. > :18:16.Christians, Wham! And all the faiths to show that we are all inhumanity.
:18:17. > :18:21.Thank you very much. Last night and throughout the day, we have been
:18:22. > :18:24.hearing incredible stories of bravery and kindness amid the terror
:18:25. > :18:34.and the horror of last night, people just wanted to help. The people of
:18:35. > :18:36.the city wanted to help last night. Now a report on the kindness of
:18:37. > :18:39.Manchester. Celia's granddaughter Ella is back
:18:40. > :18:52.home, safe in Garstang. There were kids running out of the
:18:53. > :18:58.door crying, so we got proper scared. We all started screaming. We
:18:59. > :18:59.moved away from the doors and there was blood splattered on the floor
:19:00. > :19:03.and there were bags on the floor. It was Ella's first concert
:19:04. > :19:05.without her parents, now remembered for all
:19:06. > :19:14.the wrong reasons. Sangakkara it was sheer panic in her
:19:15. > :19:17.voice, Mum, where are you? A bomb has gone off. At that point, you
:19:18. > :19:22.look around and there were parents the same as me, clutching their
:19:23. > :19:26.phones to their ears, heading towards the MEN. And there were
:19:27. > :19:27.children running away in tears and you knew something bad had happened.
:19:28. > :19:29.The concert was packed with children and teenagers.
:19:30. > :19:32.Throughout the day, more tales of incredible escapes and frantic
:19:33. > :19:46.I got thrown quite a bit. My ears popped. The noise was horrendous.
:19:47. > :19:49.The floor shook. When I got up, there were bodies everywhere. I had
:19:50. > :19:53.to look at people lying on the floor seriously hurt in case it was my
:19:54. > :19:54.family. His wife and daughter escaped unharmed.
:19:55. > :19:57.Liverpool mayor Steve Rotheram's two children were also at the gig.
:19:58. > :19:59.They had to shelter in a hotel before a taxi driver
:20:00. > :20:12.We saw a man with blood on his face. Then we realised it was really
:20:13. > :20:15.serious. We could smell smoke and as we got outside, there were police
:20:16. > :20:21.and everyone was crying. It was panic. No one understood what was
:20:22. > :20:24.going on. People were crying, try to find out where their friends or
:20:25. > :20:29.relatives were. So we were trying to stay calm, but really panicking at
:20:30. > :20:35.the same time. I got the dreaded conversation that everybody fears,
:20:36. > :20:37.and that is "Don't panic, but..." That but seemed to last a long time
:20:38. > :20:40.she said the girls were safe. Ella has spent the day
:20:41. > :20:42.reassuring friends. She's still scared,
:20:43. > :20:58.but is painfully aware tonight she's We heard in the aftermath of last
:20:59. > :21:01.night's bomb attack the stories of how the people of Manchester came
:21:02. > :21:06.together, taxi drivers offering people free lift home if they needed
:21:07. > :21:10.them. Hotels and homeowners opening their doors to those who needed a
:21:11. > :21:14.room for the night. Stuart Flinders has the story of how a city refused
:21:15. > :21:15.to be cowed by the terrorists and how it is pulling together.
:21:16. > :21:19.But everywhere, signs that something was different.
:21:20. > :21:24.The broadcasters from around the world...
:21:25. > :21:34.The sense of shock, and I mentioned this very early on, is palpable.
:21:35. > :21:37.You can feel it and how it has affected people.
:21:38. > :21:39.I do, though, get that spirit of, look, you know,
:21:40. > :21:43.This is dreadful, but we will work our way through this.
:21:44. > :21:48.That sense of everybody pulling together was spontaneous.
:21:49. > :21:50.Starting with the taxi firm determined to help
:21:51. > :21:58.I reached out to my drivers and I asked them, right, guys,
:21:59. > :22:01.we need to help the people of Manchester and if that means
:22:02. > :22:05.that we have to give them free taxis, would you be up for it?
:22:06. > :22:07.And a round of applause to my drivers, they all
:22:08. > :22:12.This family saw things normally witnessed only on a battlefield.
:22:13. > :22:14.The journey back to Scotland had to wait until this
:22:15. > :22:19.afternoon while the driver recovered her composure.
:22:20. > :22:28.She's been crying ever since yesterday, she's in shock.
:22:29. > :22:40.Others were stranded for much of the day.
:22:41. > :22:43.This is the back of the arena, the car park, and many of the cars
:22:44. > :22:46.you can see their belong to people who were at the concert last
:22:47. > :22:48.night who were expecting to drive home afterwards,
:22:49. > :22:51.but, immediately, this area was put out of bounds and some
:22:52. > :22:53.of those people were left stranded in Manchester.
:22:54. > :22:56.They made their way to this hotel, where staff took pity on them
:22:57. > :22:59.and gave them a room for the night for free.
:23:00. > :23:02.There were moments of kindness everywhere today.
:23:03. > :23:04.I just thought, I can't sit here and do nothing
:23:05. > :23:08.and it was better to be out here helping the emergency
:23:09. > :23:10.services, the journalists, the public.
:23:11. > :23:16.These visitors from Leicester weren't going to give
:23:17. > :23:24.It reminds you of the Arndale Centre and the bombing then.
:23:25. > :23:27.Our first stop this morning was near the IRA bomb
:23:28. > :23:30.in the Arndale Centre, so knowing that, it was a even more of a shock.
:23:31. > :23:33.Did it make you think twice about carrying on with the tour?
:23:34. > :23:37.Because in Britain, you carry on as usual.
:23:38. > :23:40.It may be that those responsible for the atrocity claim to have acted
:23:41. > :23:50.But Muslims at Manchester's Central Mosque were having none of it.
:23:51. > :23:52.I've been saying this all morning and I'm saying it again,
:23:53. > :23:55.the core definition from the noble Prophet Muhammad is that
:23:56. > :23:57.a believer is one who keeps all other people safe.
:23:58. > :23:59.The world has Manchester in its prayers.
:24:00. > :24:03.Its people have responded to an evil act by refusing to be changed by it.
:24:04. > :24:13.Stuart Flinders, BBC North West Tonight, Manchester.
:24:14. > :24:20.One person who knows better than anybody that this city will not be
:24:21. > :24:24.beaten and will stay strong as Councillor Pat Carney. Thank you for
:24:25. > :24:28.joining us. I said to some people down there that the city will
:24:29. > :24:32.recover, and it will, won't it? This is the biggest crowd I have seen in
:24:33. > :24:35.Albert Square. People were determined to turn up to show the
:24:36. > :24:39.families that we care about them and to show the rest of the world that
:24:40. > :24:45.the evil that came to Manchester would be rejected. We will not cower
:24:46. > :24:50.against that even though. We will carry on our values in Manchester.
:24:51. > :24:55.If you look at the crowd here, it is a great Manchester crowd. What is
:24:56. > :24:59.your message? It is a multicultural city with many different faiths.
:25:00. > :25:03.What would be your message to the people of Manchester tonight, some
:25:04. > :25:07.of whom will feel angry? When we get through the tears and the grief, and
:25:08. > :25:10.there will be a lot of tears and grief with funerals coming up, we
:25:11. > :25:16.will show that Manchester's values of mutual respect and peace,
:25:17. > :25:20.exemplified in this crap tonight, this is worth fighting for. We will
:25:21. > :25:23.get beyond the tears and grief and we will get to what Manchester is
:25:24. > :25:32.brilliant at - fighting and standing up for itself and bouncing back. I
:25:33. > :25:42.spoke to a lady who lost her granddaughter. The pain is
:25:43. > :25:46.unbearable. Thank you very much, Pat Karney. That's it from us tonight.
:25:47. > :25:52.Thank you for watching on a night that Manchester will never forget.
:25:53. > :25:56.Good night. And taxed to the BBC North West
:25:57. > :26:03.Tonight team for that programme from Manchester. As we have been hearing,
:26:04. > :26:05.this attack seemingly targeted children and was calculated to cause
:26:06. > :26:09.distress. The bombing has presented parents with the difficult task of
:26:10. > :26:14.explaining the attack to their children, and it has also challenged
:26:15. > :26:19.the media on how to cover the news for younger audiences. Our
:26:20. > :26:23.colleagues at CBBC have produced some advice.
:26:24. > :26:28.There has been a serious attack in Manchester. It happened at a concert
:26:29. > :26:33.by singer Ariana Grande. Some people lost their lives and others have
:26:34. > :26:37.been injured. Many more people came to help, offering those who with
:26:38. > :26:41.their lifts home and places to stay. Or just some comfort. When things
:26:42. > :26:46.like this happen, it's totally normal to feel upset and worried. To
:26:47. > :26:53.think things like, why did this happen? Could this happen to me?
:26:54. > :26:56.Could this happen to my family and friends? ISAF? Was important to
:26:57. > :27:01.remember is that although events like this are very sad, they are
:27:02. > :27:06.also rare. Worrying stories are often in the news because they don't
:27:07. > :27:11.happen very often, so what should you do if you're feeling sad or
:27:12. > :27:15.anxious? Talk about it. You can speak to your parents, a teacher or
:27:16. > :27:20.an adult you can trust. They can reassure you and help you feel
:27:21. > :27:21.better. And remember, when things like this happen, most people are
:27:22. > :27:30.there to help. That video was produced by our
:27:31. > :27:38.colleagues at CBBC Newsround. We can now return to George Alagiah in
:27:39. > :27:42.Manchester. Welcome back. Below me, some of the
:27:43. > :27:47.thousands of people have begun to leave Albert Square after holding a
:27:48. > :27:51.vigil. It is just one of the many ways the city is committed to terms
:27:52. > :28:01.with what happened. There was a determination for Mancunians to come
:28:02. > :28:05.together and stay together. The newly elected mayor of Manchester
:28:06. > :28:11.said the city will show its true spirit.
:28:12. > :28:20.Our cities cannot live in constant fear of terror. However much part of
:28:21. > :28:26.life it has become. So when the night is torn by violence, there is
:28:27. > :28:33.shock. There is strength and there are questions. Today, we asked the
:28:34. > :28:42.Mancunians we met to speak directly to the rest of Britain. When is it
:28:43. > :28:47.going to end? It's incredibly sad. Our way of life is being controlled
:28:48. > :28:52.by it now, as much as we don't want it to be. We are such a united city,
:28:53. > :28:56.and it's quite harrowing to think what happened last night. It's
:28:57. > :29:02.devastating. Young people fell victim to it and it's really
:29:03. > :29:05.horrible. You wouldn't expect it anywhere, but Manchester is such a
:29:06. > :29:09.welcoming place and everyone is friendly. It's a beautiful place.
:29:10. > :29:14.You don't expect things like that to happen here. Makes use get that
:29:15. > :29:19.first, but you just realise you can't let the fear win. And you get
:29:20. > :29:24.on with it. You thank the emergency services for all they have done.
:29:25. > :29:36.It's Manchester, life goes on. Manchester was quiet today. Yet also
:29:37. > :29:40.a place of emphatic declaration. Allah, we ask that you allow the
:29:41. > :29:47.perpetrators of this evil action, bring them to justice. It's hard. If
:29:48. > :29:50.I had one of the victims' fathers or somebody who has lost their daughter
:29:51. > :29:56.or son in yesterday's attack and I am saying to him, look, George,
:29:57. > :30:00.Alan, whoever, this is nothing to do with Muslims, and yet he knows that
:30:01. > :30:04.the person who did it adhered to a so-called faith, it's hard to talk
:30:05. > :30:08.to a person like that and say this is nothing to do with the faith. I
:30:09. > :30:12.am saying to people publicly and privately, we have to distance our
:30:13. > :30:18.faith from these barbaric terrorists. They are criminals with
:30:19. > :30:21.criminal mindsets. People here already knew what it meant to face
:30:22. > :30:29.and recover from terrorist violence. An IRA bomb ever stated Manchester
:30:30. > :30:33.city centre in 1996. Three years earlier in nearby Warrington, an IRA
:30:34. > :30:38.bomb killed three-year-old Jonathan Ball and 12-year-old Tim Parry.
:30:39. > :30:44.Tim's Father Colin became a peace campaigner, but today he was
:30:45. > :30:51.thinking of the inexpressible burden of parents' grief. Losing a child is
:30:52. > :30:58.the most awful event in anybody's life. There's no easy way to say you
:30:59. > :31:05.will one day get over it and recover, because you might not. The
:31:06. > :31:09.feelings are deep. There are almost animal-like. You just lock
:31:10. > :31:13.everything down. You go inside yourself. The fact that terrorism is
:31:14. > :31:18.part of the collective memory of this city does nothing to reduce the
:31:19. > :31:23.sense of raw shock felt here today. But Manchester's past experience
:31:24. > :31:26.does remind us of the resilience of democracies in the face of terrorist
:31:27. > :31:34.campaigns, and of the strength of the bonds of community. After terror
:31:35. > :31:38.attacks, the word defiance is often used. There is that here. To
:31:39. > :31:49.communal sense of grief that is both profound.
:31:50. > :31:55.Huw Edwards will be back here with the latest from the BBC's news at
:31:56. > :31:59.ten. Before we go, I will leave you with some of the images from a day
:32:00. > :32:05.of emotion, defiance and solidarity. Goodbye.
:32:06. > :32:10.Always remember, never forget. Forever Manchester. Choose love,
:32:11. > :32:21.Manchester. Thank you.
