tv   The Lead With Jake Tapper  CNN  May 26, 2025 2:00pm-3:00pm PDT

2:00 pm
>> are our. >> right shoulder. >> earth. >> thanks to my panel and thank you for joining us. the lead starts right now. >> this is cnn breaking news. >> welcome to the lead. i'm phil mattingly in for jake tapper. and we begin with breaking news in our world lead. scenes of chaos and destruction in liverpool, england uk police say a man has been arrested after driving a car through a crowd
2:01 pm
full of people. this happened during the liverpool football club's premier league victory parade and in minutes we expect to get an update from officials on the ground in liverpool. we'll bring that to you live. we start things off with cnn's anna stewart. anna, what are we learning about this incident? >> this incident took place around four hours ago. it was just after 6:00 pm here in the uk. and as you say, there was a victory parade to celebrate liverpool football club winning a premier league title. there were thousands, hundreds of thousands of people lining the streets and somehow a car was in the midst of it and this car rammed into crowds of people. merseyside police have released a statement. they say a 53 year old white male has been arrested. he is from the liverpool area. it's interesting. we're actually getting this sort of description. it's not necessarily particularly normal to give that level of description. we believe perhaps this is to combat any speculation that this could be terror related. and the police are saying that they're asking people not to speculate on the circumstances surrounding the
2:02 pm
incident. it's unclear what the motive was or, of course, whether this was an accident. inquiries are ongoing. they're asking people not to speculate. disturbing video that we are seeing on social media. plenty of images and videos of the car ramming into all of these people. and at this stage, we don't know how many injuries there have been or the gravity of those injuries. all that information likely to come, of course, in a press conference that we're going to get from the police in about half an hour, uk prime minister keir starmer has posted on x about this incident. he says the scenes in liverpool are appalling and his thoughts are with all those injured and affected. he wants to thank the police and emergency services for their swift and ongoing response to this shocking incident. he's being kept updated on developments and he asks that we give the police the spit, the space they need to investigate what has happened. so that is all the latest we know, but we should get a lot more information in the next half hour. >> anna, you know, this is kind of the peak capstone moment of what has been a weeks long
2:03 pm
celebration since liverpool clinched the premier league title. you mentioned, i think, tens of thousands, maybe even hundreds of thousands of people. what are witnesses saying about what they saw? >> so we're seeing a number of reports. and of course we've seen videos as well on social media. one witness speaking to uk media agency pa, harry rashid, he said a gray people carrier just sort of pulled up. out of nowhere. it rammed into people on the side of him, he said. it was very fast. he said they heard the pop, pop pop of people just being knocked off the bonnet of a car. all the witness reports really have been quite horrific, really quite graphic, as are the videos. and of course you can see crowds of people surround the car very quickly after the incident trying to smash through the windows, by the looks of it. so a lot happened. emergency services quick on the ground and now that is what you see on the ground. police, ambulance, fire trucks, a huge response. and of course the prime minister being updated with all of the developments. >> and we will certainly have more developments as we get them. obviously, that press conference expected within this
2:04 pm
hour. anna stewart, thanks so much for the reporting. turning now to another major story we're following in our world lead, president trump heavily criticizing vladimir putin, potentially signaling a drastic turn in trump's rather friendly relationship with the russian leader. trump saying putin has, quote, gone absolutely crazy. after russia launched several deadly overnight drone strikes against ukraine over the weekend. >> and i'm not happy with what putin is doing. he's killing a lot of people, and i don't know what the hell happened to putin. i've known him a long time. i've always gotten along with him, but he's sending rockets into cities and killing people. we're in the middle of talking, and he's shooting rockets into kyiv and other cities. i don't like it at all. >> the president adding more criticism of putin on social media than turning his anger against ukrainian president ent volodymyr zelenskyy, writing, quote, everything out of his mouth causes problems. i don't like it. and it better stop this. as ukraine says, at least 29 people were killed and dozens more were injured. what they say
2:05 pm
is russia's largest aerial bombardment since the war began. trump says he's absolutely considering more sanctions against russia. but will his complaints about putin actually result in any real punishment? let's go straight to cnn's kylie atwood. kylie, we have been kind of on this roller coaster for the last four and a half, five months, trying to read between the lines about what president trump means when he says anything about president putin behind the scenes here. what do these comments signify? >> well. >> we really don't know the phil. and the reon forhat is a twofold firsof allthis occurred over the weekend, today's memorial day. ther >> we know, any. far as. >> high level interagency conversations regarding russia's historic aggressions against. >> ukraine. >> over the weekend following president. trump's remarks. so what we. >> don't know is. >> if. >> his rhetoric, his tone against president. >> putin is going to translate. >> into any. >> action here. >> and as you said, he did keep the door open, saying that he would absolutely consider new
2:06 pm
sanctions against russia. that is significant. the space to watch. there is conversations between the white. >> house and the senate. >> there is bipartisan. legislation in the senate on the republican. >> side. >> led by. >> senator lindsey. >> graham. >> with senate. >> majority leader john thune saying just late last week. that senate is able and willing to move on, that if the white house starts working with them, if russia doesn't. >> come to the table. >> and actually engage in negotiations. so that. >> is an area for. >> us to watch. >> kylie, one of the striking things about all this, this isn't happening in kind of a static moment right there. is ukraine involved here? there are european allies involved here as well. what does this do for the dynamic of those relationships? >> well, when. >> it comes to europeans, they have been increasingly concerned about any deal. >> to. >> drive an end to the ukraine war actually being better for the russians than for the ukrainians. so now that they are seeing some of this increased, frustrated rhetoric from trump. towards president. >> putin, there is some hopefulness. >> in the air.
2:07 pm
>> you have president macron saying that he hopes that anger translates into action from the united states. we also have german chancellor emmert saying that trump is obviously increasingly disillusioned with putin, and he hopes that that means that america is going to stay on board for ukraine. so they are hopeful today. we'll have to watch and see how that plays out. >> of course, as. >> there are questions. about what that anger translates into. >> kylie atwood with the latest. thank you so much. i want to bring in now former deputy director of national intelligence beth sanner. beth, we're talking this before the show came on, kind of trying to track what this all may mean in terms of action. it was so striking. i think it was last week, two weeks ago when european uk officials went forward with sanctions without the u.s. along with them. is that dynamic about to change here? is this is about to come back in. >> you know. >> talk is. >> cheap. and we've been waiting for action. we've seen marco rubio warn that something is going to happen. it's days, not weeks, but yet it is weeks and weeks. and now, you know,
2:08 pm
stronger rhetoric. and that is important. but it's not important unless trump actually delivers on pressure. right. so, you know, we needed to get russia to the negotiating table. that is kudos on the trump administration for getting that. but the other part of this is you've got to pressure the party. that is the problem. and with 900 drones and 90 missiles approximately going into ukraine and killing multiple dozens of civilians over the last three days, it's time to actually do something and not just talk about it. and i think trump clearly, putin clearly. oh, look at that freudian slip. sorry. putin clearly does not believe trump is going to follow through. >> you know, it is. i actually want to put aside the idea, the kind of natural but snarky response of like, oh, you just realized that maybe he's not on the up and up when it comes to trump in the putin relationship
2:09 pm
and instead kind of focus on, all right, well, if he has realized that it's good, what changes here? and i think it's hard to figure out what changes is. you don't necessarily know what the baseline ever was over the course of the last four months. >> right. well, what changes here is absolutely, as kylie pointed out, this bill in the senate, and it's not perfect because it's the way that the sanctions work. it's a little overplayed, but nonetheless, it's an actual thing. they're waiting for the white house to say, yes. >> 81 co-sponsors time i checked. >> right. which means they could do it any time they wanted, phil. but they choose not to because trump doesn't want them to. all he has to do is put the green light on, and then we would see action. that is absolutely what putin needs to see. what was the kremlin response to trump's rhetoric about crazy putin? the spokesman for president putin, who absolutely tracks exactly what president putin wants him to say, called trump emotional. i don't think that the kremlin has been to couple's therapy.
2:10 pm
about this situation if he didn't also take a shot at vladimir zelenskyy at the same exact time. yeah. look, i understand this frustration. there was frustration in the last administration with the zelenskyy team over the course of this process. but what does that do when he does that? >> so it's so different than the trump administration. so you have the layers of frustration over you know we're just not on the same page but on some on some things like the amount of aggression, fear of the nuclear war threshold, those kinds of things. but for trump, this is so personal. it dates back to the indictment and the impeachment trial, which is traced back in trump's mind directly to that call. he made the perfect call to president zelenskyy. he will never forgive president zelenskyy for that and for not playing ball with him. and so this you can never separate out. and so if we're expecting president trump to all
2:11 pm
of a sudden change his viewpoint and only blame the aggressor here, i'm afraid we're going to be continuously disappointed because we revert always back close to the mean. >> yeah. no, it's a really good point. i do want to ask you before i let you go our colleague fred pleitgen got an exclusive interview with a spokesman in iran who said this. take a listen. >> if the. >> intention is to. >> make sure. >> that iran's nuclear program would not be weaponized, i think that's something that. >> we could simply do. >> it for context, because that was a quick pivot. there is also a very, very high stakes set of negotiations going on with iran and their nuclear program. what do you make of those particular comments. >> so important that iran is saying the right things. they are trying to keep trump on sides by saying, look, we can do a deal here. we can figure out a way forward. but nonetheless, they have set a very clear red
2:12 pm
line, and they are not giving up their ability to enrich uranium, which can be used for civilian purposes, but also could be used for weaponization. right. and so they're setting that very hard red line. and apparently during the negotiations, they rejected a freeze on that kind of enrichment. and they said, no, we're not going tdo that. and the reason they're not going to do that is because president trump has no negotiations righ now that are going well. they know that ump wants this deal. so they're going to ick to thr nes. now it's up to mpromise on this in der to to get the deald he's got a lot of hawks and he's got iran orsrael breathing down h ne on that. >> yeah. this is the difficulty when you he so many balls in e air, as they do right now. on the foreign policy geopolitical front. beth-center we covered the waterfront. thank you very much. >> i appreciate. >> your time. well, the stern warning from house speaker mike johnson as the senate moves to take up president trump's budget bill. but is anyone in the other

2:18 pm
heard from witnesses. we are still awaiting more information abouwhat exact happed here. we will bring that infoatn toou as soon as we ow it. as of now. still waiting for that press conferencein the meantime, moving to our politics lead. 's a holiday week, so members of congress are sending long distance signals to onanother shows. pme exale house nd talk speaker mike johnson, speaking th jaktapper on cnn's state of the uon, warning senate republicans to make as few changes as possible in the so-called big beautiful bill. that tax and spending package that just squeaked through the house by a single vote last week. >> i encourage them, you know, to do their work, of course, as we all anticipate. but to make as few modifications to this package as possible, because remembering that we've got to pass it one more time to ratify their changes. >> in the. >> house. >> lawmakers may be back in the district on vacation. cnn's manu raju is not, but he is in the bureau, which is a nice a nice change keeping track of all of
2:19 pm
this. right now, we've done this for a long time. where are we going here? >> i mean, look, this is going to be a very complicated dance. the united states senate and there's this belief among republicans that they have to pass something. they have to pass this because their entire agenda really relies on this. the question is, what is this? because there are so many different opinions within the senate gop about what this bill should look like. you have conservatives who are concerned that the bill that came out of the house simply is too weak when it comes to spending cuts. they believe that there should be a significant amount more of cuts. remember, this would add roughly $3.8 trillion to deficits over the next several years, according to the congressional budget office. so they want to go deeper. but if you go too deep, then you lose some of the more moderate members, like senator lisa murkowski, who told me last week that the medicaid work requirements that are part of this bill are too aggressive to be implemented, can't be implemented. and so she wants changes. so if you go to the middle, you lose the
2:20 pm
conservatives. and here's the other issue. the math. ron johnson, who was on our air yesterday, told jake tapper that he believes that there are enough conservatives who would block this bill if more cuts are not added. >> well, the first goal of our budget reconciliation process should be to reduce the deficit. this actually increases. >> i think the cuts currently in the bill are wimpy and anemic, but i still would support the bill even with wimpy and anemic cuts. if they weren't going to explode the debt. the problem is, the math doesn't add up. >> and here's the other issue is that rand paul, he's told me before he wants the debt limit increase out of this bill, but the debt limit increase is almost essential because we're looking at a first ever potential debt default in the united states by august. if congress does not act. so all these different complicating factors, different factions will be essential for trump john thune the majority leader to resolve because they can only lose three republican votes in the united states senate to get this through. and there are far more than three republican senators who are either
2:21 pm
downright opposed or want serious changes. >> i should note i did not mean to attack district work period or state work period, which lawmakers are currently on, mostly because staff right now is at work, i presume, and we'll be there all week. they may not be wearing ties all week in the capitol, but they're going to try and figure out how to thread the needle here a little bit. what is your sense of what's happening behind the scenes? >> yeah, there is a lot of negotiation trying to figure out how exactly to get this ship sailing. but the problem is that no matter how much staff work happens behind the scenes, which there is ample amount right now, there's still those big disagreements that can only be resolved when these members come back to washington. so next week is going to be so critical for them to try to get down, hash this out, get this through the senate. the administration wants this on trump's desk by july 4th. that is going to be such an ambitious time frame to get this all done, because in the senate you have so many issues. you have the long voting process that happens in a bill like this, and also the strict budget rules in the senate, because they're using a process to
2:22 pm
avoid a democratic filibuster, meaning they can pass along straight party lines. it has to adhere to very strict budget rules. and the senate parliamentarian says the permanent tax cuts that they're seeking to make here don't meet the budget rules. then they got to rewrite the entire tax portion of this bill, which is why there are so many questions about how this ultimately will play. >> out through the senate. back to the house, to the president's desk in a month. ron johnson is going to take that long to get on board. >> yes, exactly. >> shout out wisconsin manu raju always a pleasure. thank you very much. well, continuing with our politics lead and the devastating effects rippling across the country in the wake of the federal workforce cuts by president trump and elon musk's department of government efficiency, people suddenly and unexpectedly losing jobs and health insurance, but still having to deal with family needs and emergencies. we're joined now by virginia congressman sue judge subramanian, a democrat whose district encompasses the suburbs and exurbs just west of washington, d.c. congressman, i really appreciate your time. i want to ask you about something you posted on x. pictures that you from a meeting you had on the u.s. capitol steps with federal workers that the
2:23 pm
president, his administration fired their stories. what did they tell you? >> you know, many of them were actually came here as. probationary workers, and then they were fired. and then doge realized that they were actually very important. so they tried to rehire them. and it's just been chaotic. >> for them. and then there's. >> others who, you. >> know, have 20. >> years of. >> experience who've done really. really critical work. who have either been fired. >> or. >> have been. >> bullied out. >> of. >> their jobs, essentially. >> and then there's the ones who. have stayed, who aren't fired. >> who even. >> doge recognizes. >> are essential. but they get bullied every. day by. >> doge, and they're being told that they don't matter, that. >> they don't care. about them. and so. >> we're in a situation where we're. discouraging people in the federal workforce. it's going to lead to a. >> brain. >> drain in our federal government. a lot. >> of these. probationary employees, for. >> instance. >> were people. >> that we desperately. >> tried to recruit. they're
2:24 pm
they're technologists, they have specialized skills. and it's going to hurt every single. >> american in the long term. >> if we continue to treat. >> federal workers like this. >> something that's been interesting when i'm asked about this by people from outside of dc, friends of mine, no connection to this whatsoever. there has been a kind of slow evolving recognition that this isn't just a washington thing. this isn't just a your district in the in the suburbs and exurbs of washington and the dmv area. you're seeing this be really felt across the nation. an irs agent in atlanta told cnn that even though she was reinstated after being laid off, her health insurance hadn't kicked back in when her son had an asthma attack, resulting in a multi-thousand dollar hospital bill. one of the questions i have, you mentioned kind of the back and forth chaos that we've seen because of court cases, some people being brought back after they've been fired. is there anything lawmakers can do right now? >> you know, right. >> now what we're trying to do is take the stories that people. >> bring to us. >> about, you know, the dmv. but also all. >> across the country. >> and we share. >> them, we make them famous, and we. >> put pressure. >> on this administration to try
2:25 pm
to reverse course. and it's been very successful, actually. there's been a lot of instances where, you know, people, you know, blew the whistle to us. and then we went to the public, we went to the media, we started posting on x and other. places and, and people either got their jobs back or there was changes. >> or doge admitted there was a mistake. and so. >> i always tell people, especially in the federal workforce or contractors, speak out. this is not a time to be afraid. this is a time to make your voice heard and let us know at least what's going on so we can help. >> you know, to that point. and i think it's a strategy that throughout the course of at least my 15, 16 years in dc, has been an effective one for a minority party. it's also one that i think you hear some in your party say, it's not enough. you got to be doing more. there's got to be more. i think there was. i was reading in local newspaper rappahannock news. someone at one of your town halls recently said, you guys don't seem to get it. you're in a knife fight. you're process anymore. what do you say to folks who raise that to you?
2:26 pm
>> i say, i agree with that. i think we should be using every tool at our disposal and then thinking outside the box. and so, you know, you're starting to see protests on the steps of the capitol. you're starting to see, you know, us trying to do things. i do everything from tiktok videos to speaking out every day on the house floor using every tool possible. so there. right. and that frustration is real. and i think what we have to do everything possible right now. but it's a real frustration. but i will say also, we should recognize when we're being successful and use that those tactics that work best, not the tactics that feel best. >> do you think those tactics could potentially sink the big, beautiful bill, as the president calls it? i believe it's actually the official legislative title on the house bill, as it kind of is in the midst of this process right now. >> i think we have to try. i mean, what we did this past week, we pulled two all nighters. we we ended up having a vote at 6 a.m. in the morning
2:27 pm
and two republicans supposedly slept through the bill because they were so tired. i mean, just doing little things like that. add up. we had 500 plus amendments, and i know your viewers may not understand how that impacts it, but i think every little bit adds up, and we certainly have to tell the story of what's happening in washington, d.c., and how it's affecting people, not just federal workers, but all across the country, like medicaid recipients. how this is going to hurt every single american. and right now when you do a better job of that. but i think this past week, we did everything we could, and we have to continue to do that. and certainly the senate has to do that. now. >> congressman suhas subramanyam, appreciate your time, sir. thanks so much. thank you. we'll also in our politics lead, former new york democratic congressman charles rangel died today a few weeks short of his 95th birthday. he was certainly one of a kind, stylishly dressed, raspy voice, smiling. rangel served three terms from his election in 1970 to his retirement in 2017, representing
2:28 pm
a district that took in new york's new york city's harlem neighborhood. now, over the years, he co-founded the congressional black caucus, became the first black chairman of the powerful ways and means committee. he also got in trouble more than once and was censured by his colleagues for violating house rules. today, though, his fellow democrats are pointing to his many accomplishments, house minority leader hakeem jeffries described rangel as a patriot, hero, statesman, leader, trailblazer, change agent and champion for justice. will any moment we expect to get an update from officials in liverpool, england, after a man was arrested for driving through a parade crowd. we're going to bring that to you live. plus, we expect to get an update on the measles outbreak in the southern u.s. at some point tomorrow. what are officials seeing on the ground? is the outbreak slowing? i'll ask one of them next. >> on the next episode of my happy place. >> cheers to new orleans. >> i'm buying. >> you all around.

your area right now? >> we don't have a lot. >> of active measles cases. >> we've seen. over 700 in our area. and probably. have a handful or so under current investigation. >> why do you think many of these cases go underreported or unreported? >> you know, i think there's nothing that requires you to get tested for measles. so in, you know, families that have been exposed know what's going on. and if the children don't need you know, medical care from a physician, then there's really no reason to test. this is also a very insular community where this outbreak started, and they tend not to seek as much health care as kind of regular or traditional americans. >> the vast majority of these cases were in unvaccinated individuals. the cdc recommends two doses of the measles, mumps and rubella vaccine as the best defense against measles. have you seen an increase in vaccinations at all in the past
2:35 pm
few months? >> yeah, we've seen a huge spike of mmr vaccines in our community. we usually give about 1500 vaccines, kind of between february and april. this last time, we've seen an additional 2500 vaccines given beyond that normal amount. >> what is your message to parents who are still that's clearly an uptick, but those who are still unsure about the vaccination. >> yeah. >> i mean, as public health, we're going to be talking about, you know, the importance of getting vaccines. the reason we haven't had an outbreak of measles in this part of the country in over 20 years is because of high vaccination rates. we're going to be talking to those parents one on one encouraging that vaccination, answering any of their questions and really, you know, trying to get them to either get that vaccination early or at least get getting their kids caught up.
2:36 pm
>> as we head into the summer months, obviously, kids are ones kids, mine included, trying to figure that part out. right now, we're about to be out of school. what advice do you have for parents to keep their kids safe, healthy overall in the summer months? >> i mean, the summertime is a great time to go get those vaccines because you don't have to pull children out of school. you know, vaccines are important. anytime we're in group settings, whether or not that's school or now we're looking at kids being in summer camp. so really, those same vaccine recommendations apply during the summertime, just as they do at school. and it's important you know, to stay up to date as much as you can. >> katherine wells, always appreciate your time and your perspective. thanks so much. >> thank you so much. >> by. well, imagine climbing mount everest to get a weather report. next, we'll meet a team who did just that and learn exactly what they were hoping to accomplish here.

2:52 pm
dangled over a railing for not giving up his password, and they told him that if he did not give up this password, his family would be killed. now, last friday, he believed that he was going to be shot and killed. so he actually gave up the password, which then made john woeltz. according to prosecutors, go into another room of the apartment to retrieve a laptop that gave the victim a small window of time in which he managed to run out of the apartment and flag down a traffic officer who was able to get him some help. john woeltz was arrested shortly after that. he's been charged with kidnaping, assault, unlawful imprisonment, criminal possession of a firearm. now, one thing we do not know yet, phil, is what the relationship between these two men were. were they business partners? did they know each other? >> officials. the breaking news. officials in liverpool now giving an update on the parade

families. our emergency services service colleagues from the north west ambulance service and mersey fire and rescue service also attended the scene and will be able to provide further updates. the car stopped at the scene and a 53 year old white british man from the liverpool area was arrested. we believe him to be the driver of the vehicle. extensive inquiries are ongoing to establish the circumstances leading up to the collision, and it is vital that people do not speculate or spread misinformation on social media. i know that people will understandably be concerned by what has happened tonight. what i can tell you is that we believe this to be an isolated incident, and we are not currently looking for anyone else in relation to it. the incident is not being treated as

us at north west ambulance service are horrified and saddened that a day of celebration for the people of liverpool could end in such terrible circumstances. our thoughts are with everyone who witnessed the incident and those who have been injured, as large crowds were expected in the city center today to celebrate liverpool football club's victory. we thankfully had a substantial presence already in place close to the route, as we would do for any event of this type. our ambulances hazardous area response team, merit doctors, north west air ambulance colleagues and senior clinicians were very quickly on scene to offer aid and treatment. saint john ambulance also had clinical teams present to support us throughout the day and were quick to respond, and our thanks go to them for their assistance. our emergency ambulances took patients to our nhs colleagues at the royal liverpool hospital, alder hey park and aintree hospitals.
2:57 pm
sadly, four of the injured were children who were enjoying the day with their friends and their families. we can confirm that our teams treated 20 patients at the scene for minor injuries, and these did not need hospital treatment. 27 patients in total were taken to hospital by ambulance, and we believe two of those, including one of the children, have sustained serious injuries. our cyclist paramedic who was on scene, was also unfortunately struck by the vehicle, but i'm pleased to report that no injuries were sustained. we also know that some patients have self-presented at local hospitals following the incident. we're working closely with our partners at merseyside police and share their appeal for calm. this is indeed an appalling incident and we understand that people will be deeply upset. the people of liverpool have shown many times before that you are a strong
2:58 pm
community and you support one another. all of us at north west ambulance service share with you the frustration that this wonderful day has ended like this, and we hope that those who have been injured make a speedy recovery. we'd also like to extend our thanks to merseyside fire and rescue service and merseyside police, both of whom assisted in attending to the injured in very rapid sequence, as did many of the supporters in the city center, as well as our nhs colleagues who will continue the treatment. everybody has played their part today. at this point i'd just like to pass over to nick searle, the chief fire officer. thank you. good evening. firstly, our thoughts are with everyone who's been affected by the incident this evening. merseyside fire and rescue service were informed at 1807 hours. we immediately mobilized three fire engines to water street and were in attendance in four minutes. on
2:59 pm
arrival, the crews were met with numerous injured people and four persons trapped under a vehicle. our crews rapidly lifted the vehicle, removed three adults and one child from beneath and passed them to our ambulance service colleagues. we then worked with emergency service partners to ensure casualties, received medical treatment and transport to hospital as quickly as possible. my fire crews will maintain a visible and reassuring presence in the coming days and weeks. i'll hand you over to liam robinson from liverpool city council. thank you. i'd like to start by saying, on behalf of everyone here in liverpool, how much our thoughts and prayers are with those affected by this appalling incident in the city center today. it's cast a very dark shadow over what had been a joyous day for the city, and the finale to a fabulous bank holiday weekend. i'd particularly like to pay tribute to the emergency services who responded to help those who were
3:00 pm
hurt, and to our nhs staff treating them in hospital. we are working very closely with merseyside police to support their investigation and with other relevant organizations to make sure those affected get the appropriate support. i would appeal for people. please do not share the horrifying footage of the incident on social media. please, if you have any information, forward it to merseyside police to help them with their investigation. we won't be commenting any further but we will provide relevant updates as and when we know more and it's appropriate to do so. once again, our hearts go out to all of those affected. liverpool is a city that has a proud history of coming together and supporting each other during challenging times. i have no doubt that will again be the case over the coming days and weeks. thank you. thank you.
