and then in the distance I have heard an ambulance coming and I have

just broken out into an absolute sweat.

For each family the sounds and scenes of that night still haunt

And to think that we were there and there is all those people

that were killed, injured, and we are sat here.

There are reminders everywhere of last week's attack.

The Manchester Arena remains closed behind barriers.

Sold-out concerts have been cancelled.

Outside the building all thoughts are with those

We've just been to a hotel and we just parked our car and

there was some armed police checking a car and be

We got really panicky and we had to get out.

The terror threat level has reduced but this kind of

police presence is still judged necessary, perhaps even just for

And people need that, including the injured.

This girl is 11 and she has only just returned

home from hospital after two operations on her leg which was

It has made me quite a frightened person

which is something that I never have been.

I am very wary of everything around me and my surroundings.

Manchester has experienced a week of grief and mourning.

Seven days that have shaken spirits in the city.

But it has been a time of unity despite

That's all from me, stay with us on BBC One,

Tonight people have gathered in St Anne's Square in Manchester,

exactly a week on from the attack at the Arena.

APPLAUSE You can hear the rounds of applause

here in St Anne's Square in Manchester. A minute's silence has

just finished. It has been impeccably observed by everybody

here. Hundreds of people, as you can see, and a floral tributes since I

was last here have at least tripled in size. It is unbelievable to see.

Let's speak to Councillor Pat Carney. It is poignant, touching,

had to put it into words. We are one big Manchester family, on this

painful anniversary we are thinking about the people we've lost.

Thinking about the people who are struggling for their health in

hospitals. But we wanted to show their families who are directly

affected, who have gone through unendurable pain that people in

Manchester and Greater Manchester are thinking about them tonight and

we'll think about them in future nights and future days. We saw over

the weekend, the run took place, the great Manchester games, the

outpouring of emotion here. These floral tributes are something the

city has never seen before. It is an emotional seesaw. We've thought

about the families and thought about the pain and we hear all the stories

about the beautiful people we've lost, and then we've had to go back

and have a normal life as well. It has been an emotional seesaw, always

been up and down, down and up, but at the forefront all the time is

thinking about the pain they going through. When we see the faces of

these people we've lost and you hear the tales and people in hospital

struggling for their health, Manchester connects with them. A

final thought on going forward. It has been an emotional week, but now

we have to deal with funerals. The city has to continue to pull

together. There will be a lot of tears and grief. We're going to see

horrible things, with funerals, as you say, but we will get through the

other side. We want to thank all the people who have turned up here

tonight who wanted to be here. Manchester, when we've cried as much

as we've cried and we're down as much as we are down, we will get to

the other side. Thank you very much indeed for joining us. Pat Carney

from Manchester City Council. A very poignant and emotional evening.

Still hundreds of people here. But you have to speak in hushed tones,

such is the raw emotion and the sadness here, exactly a week after

that awful suicide bombing at the Manchester Arena. A minute's silence

at 10.31 to mark that moment, impeccably observed. As you can hear

now, the places still silent. Back to you.

Roger, thank you. From St Anne's Square.

MI5 is to hold an inquiry into the way warnings about the bomber

The security services were alerted to his extremist views

on three occasions, and this afternoon the search

for evidence switched to a refuse tip near Bury.

Here's our Chief Reporter, Dave Guest.

Just what these white suited forensic teams are looking

for on this rubbish dump in Bury, we don't know, but we do know

it is connected to the ongoing Arena bomb investigation.

This just the latest place to come under scrutiny.

The police arrived at this street in the Whalley Range district

of Mancehster earlier this morning and cordoned off this house.

I just came out and I've seen all this, and so I've come out

It's worrying when something's happening on your doorstep.

I don't understand what they're doing here.

I've lived next door to them for over ten years,

and nothing like this has ever happened before.

No one was arrested here or at a property in Chester,

that was also raided by counterterrorism

This is a fast moving investigation and these raids have now become

a daily occurrence and they are not confined to the north-west.

At a raid in Shoreham in Sussex this morning, a man of 23

In absolute shock, just finished work on my way home, getting ready,

grabbing some clothes to go to my girlfriend's house,

and I was like OK, there's police outside my door, what's going on?

It brings to 14 the total number of people who are currently

being questioned by the police in the wake of the Arena attack.

And investigators are still trying to establish what Salman Abedi did,

and where he went, in the days and hours before

He looks exactly like the guy that they're saying

The shop's close to a flat where police believe Abedi spent

The trainers on this man match those worn by the killer on this image

GMP say they're aware of the shop footage and enquiries are underway

to establish whether it is connected to the attack investigation.

They want anyone with potentially useful footage to get in touch.

People who were not injured but were in the Arena or tried

to help the victims of the terrorist attack last week are being

A new trauma centre backed by over 90 trained professionals say

they are there to provide support, as Yunus Mulla reports.

A place to show respect and solidarity with the victims

But in the crowd today were also volunteers from the Samaritans;

the very people showing compassion may also need support.

Some people are very upset and outwardly upset now,

and for others, this is just the beginning.

At this training session organised by a team of specialists

from Israel, psychologists, councillors and mental

health professionals were also being prepared.

I don't want to feel impotent and useless.

I want to feel that I can get out there and that I can do something.

Anything I can do with the actual walk in centre, hopefully I'll

Heads Up has dealt with disasters on terrorist attacks around

the world, but it's now bringing its expertise to the UK.

We estimate that just the people immediately involved,

there might be 8-1600 people who are seriously

experiencing trauma, as a result of this event.

Flowers and other tributes continue to grow outside

the Manchester Arena, and although a number

of areas remain taped off, the police cordon is

Victoria station is set to reopen tomorrow.

We want to create a safe place for people to get confidence first

of all, coming back into central Manchester.

We know that's a problem for some people.

They can come and just drink coffee and just feel relaxed,

and there will be professionally trained people there, if they feel

22 people were killed and 116 people were injured

but a significant number of people, although unhurt physically,

will need specialist help to cope with the horror of a week ago.

Yunus Mulla, BBC North West Tonight, Manchester.

Manchester's Victoria station is to reopen tomorrow

for the first time since the Arena bombing.

Trains and trams on the Metrolink are expected to operate a full

service from first thing in the morning.
