libya, it‘s really clear. he believes injihad. since the manchester attack, the bbc has asked for an interview with trustees of the mosque where the abedi family prayed. today, we were invited in. did anybody report this young man to counterterrorism police? yes, yes indeed. one of our imams had reported this person. we were not aware. it was a private matter. the imam did not tell anybody inside this mosque? he did not tell anybody inside the mosque. that has got to be a worry. it has got to be a worry because, obviously, we as trustees should, i suppose, know what is going on. you suppose? well, the reason i say "i suppose," if he has reported him, because he had information we do not, and it‘s between him and the counterterrorist police. so i‘ve not really spoken to him since. but he has said it to us. you‘ve not rang the imam who noticed salman abedi first, to find out more information? i don‘t have any information, i don‘t need any information, because i am not responsible. when he passes the re

isis in libya. how easy is it for the uk government to get help from the government intra— bully? for the uk government to get help from the government intra— bullwm is going to be very difficult. he is supported by the international community but he has negligible presence intra— bully. it is mainly policed by right colours islamist movements spread islamic fighting group as part of. the fact that libya is unstable makes it harder for the us intelligence operations to communicate with intelligence operations in libya. this is that billy mosque where he and his family worshipped. you can see the family home is not far away. that home was raided on tuesday. this statement was made by the mosque on wednesday. some media reports have reported that the bomber worked at the manchester is linux centre. some media group ports have reported this. this is not true. i assure everyone, listeners, viewers in the uk, around the uk, this bomber has never worked in the centre. thank you for attending a sling

let's go now to quentin somerville in libya. an arrest in libya — what more can you tell us? i'm afraid we can't bring you quentin somerville. we have lost that link to him. but i can tell you that link to him. but i can tell you that in the last hour, we have had some pictures of a 50 uk arrest —— a fifth arrest in the uk. this happened in wigan in connection with the terror attack on monday. i am told that the police there are examining a package that the man was arrested was carrying. that has come in since we have been on air. so far, 14 of the 22 victims of monday's suicide bombing have been identified, some of them children. they include 15 year—old olivia campbell, whose mother posted a desperate plea on facebook for information about her daughter. we learned today that an off—duty policewoman was among those killed. all of them had gone to the manchester arena for what should have been an evening of joy and fun. our special correspondent allan little has been finding out more about some of the victims. as their names emerged today, one thing was inescapable. t

i was in libya during that period. we really believed we were on the cusp of a massacre by colonel gadaffi. i have to say, in the naval campaign that allowed the rebels to ultimately triumph, it seemed at the time, infairness, ultimately triumph, it seemed at the time, in fairness, to have been a sensible one. we were going to seem another rwanda. if something had happened. i think it was a fair assumption to think that. the problem was that there was no after plan that was effective. yes, the rebels took hold in the country literally had no infrastructure, that was run by mafias. regional militias. here's we are. the problem is vacuumed. there are several publicans. what he is trying to say is there, when there is a vacuum of authority, whether it is iraq after the war or authority, whether it is iraq after the waror in authority, whether it is iraq after the war or in libya after colonel gadaffi collapses, or in yemen now with the conflict with the saudis, was there is a vacuum of authority, you have the potential to

well, i think the point about libya at the moment, libya, the isis in libya did control significant amount of coastal territory until two or three months ago and then they were thrown out of that. they don't control territory, but they might have some agreement with al-qaeda to share their activities in the various bits of the country that their operatives might live in. there is some suggestion that the person responsible for the killing in manchester might have been in contact with them in libya, but i don't know if that's true or not. the french president, emmanuel macron, was saying yesterday that he wa nts to macron, was saying yesterday that he wants to see closer collaboration between european countries on tackling this sort of threat. it caught me a bit by surprise because i thought there was a lot of work done since the bataclan incident. do you think there is still work to be done? the united kingdom is transport and crucial to that, not because we are brilliant or particularly excellent, we are good, but the experience we have is because of the ira period. we had a good number o

he had watched him come and go from manchester to libya. now he can't believe what his neighbour did. unbelievably disgusting, to be honest. especially for a muslim. and a libyan as well. to us, obeying the law of the country is the most priority number one. that's what the prophet teaches us. some talk of erratic behaviour, of abedi chanting in the street. he was shouting out the koran in arabic. i don't know their language. the bbc has been told a black flag with islamic writing hung outside his home. many had no idea what it meant. i saw some sort of flag outside. with islamic writing on it? i didn't really look at it. was it english writing? no. a community worker who didn't want to go on camera has told us that two people who knew salman abedi at college went to police several years ago. they said he was supporting terrorism and had expressed a view that being a suicide bomber was ok. greater manchester police will not comment on those claims. and what about the manchester bomber‘s family? this is his brother hashem, now under arrest

there were battles in libya but until recently they remained in libya. libya was not in the capacity to exportjihadists as such. but it does seem in the uk, maybe in france, these networks still are present. 0h, definitely. the problem is to what extent these networks function, together with a centre, whatever, that would be in the caliphate. this is in the book, i tried to show that there are three generations ofjihadism. the first one was from 1979 to 1997. afghanistan, algeria, egypt. the focus against what they called the nearby enemy, the so—called apostate of the west regime. it did not work out because they could not mobilise the masses, right. and this is what osama bin laden and the like, these are lessons that they learned and they sort of designed a new second—generation jihad that focused against what they call the far—away enemy. america. so they thought that, you know, if they struck at america than they would expose the west as a colossus with feet of clay. this was 9/11. and they had hoped that the masses, the muslim masses, would m

abedi returned to the uk from libya a few days before the attack. abedi worshipped at the didsbury mosque. one of the trustees today condemned monday's attack, although he didn't take any questions. the horrific atrocity that occurred in manchester on monday night has shocked us all. it has indeed shocked us all. this act of cowardice has no place in our religion, or any other religion for that matter. on monday, abedi carried out a suicide attack at the manchester arena. 22 people were killed and 64 injured. today, the new york times revealed pictures from the crime scene in the foyer of manchester arena. they appear to the remnants of the bomber‘s rucksack, the metalfragments used in the attack, and a possible detonator. all day in manchester people have been coming to the town hall to lay flowers a nd been coming to the town hall to lay flowers and to remember. just pain because everybody in manchester seems to know somebody that's been or attended or my daughter had a friend that went. it's, like, we're all linked together and we kind of... it

and his other brother was arrested in libya with connections to isis. this had is as in man chester and england as the authorities search for accomplices for anyone that might be connected to the awful terrorist attack on monday night. abedi made numerous trips to libya wheres his father lives and he traveled to london before boarding a train to manchester before detonating an ied after the convert. the blast killed 22 including a police officer and wounded more than 100 in all, 20 of them critically. police arrested several more people in manchester today and focused on who built the sophisticated explosive device. >> i think it is very clear that this is a network thatty we are investigating and it continues at a pace and extensive investigation it going on across the greater manchester as we speak. >> reporter: at least, a dozen victims were named. one of them 15-year-old olivia campbell whose mother is struggling to accept the horrible truth. >> we have looked at every possible scenario like she would walk through and maybe she is in a hospital some

libya's chaos won't be contained. quentin sommerville, bbc news, eastern libya. back to the election now and the largest unionist party in northern ireland, the dup, has launched its manifesto, promising to work for the best deal in the brexit talks. the party also pledged to make tourism a billion—pound industry and called for a public holiday to celebrate northern ireland's centenary in 2021. the dup's leader and former first minister, arlene foster, said she wanted a mandate for talks aimed at restoring power—sharing at stormont. but above all, she said, the election was about making sure northern ireland remains in the uk. 0njune 8th, i'm asking people to get northern ireland back on the right track. to vote to get the best deal for northern ireland. to strengthen our hands in the upcoming negotiations. to get the assembly back up and running, to protect our place within the united kingdom and to unite behind one strong unionist voice. northern ireland's alliance party has also launched its election manifesto, promising "progressive and pro—european pol

he family connections in libya. that might have been the main motivation, but to what extent if at all was liaising with people with certain expertise and beliefs in libya the motivation for going or was that the by—product of him going to libya for other reasons? samantha, thank you very much. samantha is a intelligence and security lecturer at the university of salford. we will bring you up—to—date with everything. but we will be speaking toa everything. but we will be speaking to a lot of people who feel very close to what happened on monday night. more here from manchester later on. studio: we will see you shortly. we will be tack being how you have a conversation with your children about what happened. that's coming up about what happened. that's coming up in the next few minutes. i'm going to remind you at 8.35am. we have had news in the last half an hour that five people have died in a collision on the m6 in staffordshire. the southbound carriageway between junction 15 for stoke—on—trent and 1a for

his father and younger brother have been detained in libya. they're believed to have connections to extremist groups. images have been released in the american media showing details of scene of the bombing, that angered the british government which says it could undermine the investigation. and tributes have been paid to those killed and injured. a moment of silence was held at the europa league final in stockholm between manchester united and ajax amsterdam. fans held up signs saying "united we stand." manchester went on to win. those are the headlines. and the top story here in the uk: the conservatives and labour have said that national campaigning

but what is the network like inside of libya? >> well for quite some time isis did control the town of sirte on the mediterranean coast pch but they have been driven out. they don't necessarily control large amounts of territory. but they do have a presence. they've lost their sort of foothold on the mediterranean. but that doesn't mean they don't have presence elsewhere in the country. keeping in mind of course that libya is a vast country with a relatively small population. it is sort of a cautionary tale what has happened with isis in libya for places like iraq and syria wherive we've seen them lose much of the territory they control but in a sense they've been dispersed. and it's very hard to track individuals as opposed to monitor control or reconquer area that is they were in control of in the past. and for instance, salman abedi, the young man, the 22-year-old believed to be behind the manchester bombing, he was in libya. then we understand he transited through turkey as well as dusseldorf airport in germany. u.s. official

his father and brother have been arrested in libya. it is said they have connections to extremist groups. after the threat level was raised last night, soliders have been deployed on to the street of britain. the police say they're finding out more all the time. i think it's very clear that this is a network we are investigating. the new york times has published photographs of what appear to be the remnants of the bomb — in what appears to be another leak of sensitive uk intelligence to us media. also today... donald trump has met the pope at the vatican. the two leaders have clashed in the past over border walls and climate change — we'll hear how the meeting today went. and later, christian fraser will be live to answer questions you may have about the manchester attack. and if you've got questions about the attack in manchester or any other stories we're covering, send them to # bbcos the investigation into the manchester attack continues. this is the man who carried it out. 22—year—old salman abedi. authorities say they are

so a lot of this coming back to libya. it gives us the scope of just how broad and international the investigation has become, shannon. >> shannon: it's all going to be linked with intelligence sharing. thank you. >> reporter: you're welcome. >> shannon: the terror attack bringing to the forefront the issue of travel restrictions from predominantly muslim countries. the parent of salman abedi were refugees from libya one of the six countries in the president's order which has been stalled in the courts. refugees a topic of discussion this morning between the president and pope francis. >> immigration did not come up. migration did come up because of the challenge italy faces with migration out of africa. >> shannon: chris plante, leslie marshal, talk show host and fox news contributor. good to see you both. >> hey, shannon. >> shannon: what do you make of this conversation now going on in europe where tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of people have emigrated all through the country. they have open borders. p

military which has contacts in libya, plus u.s. intelligence and british intelligence, are pinging all those contacts inside libya. government officials, militia members looking to see what they can learn about where the attacker may have traveled, who he met with, was he only there on family business or was he really there for three weeks possibly meeting with other militant groups, possibly getting training and support for some future attack. there is a lot of reporting out there that he was potentially affiliated with isis but they're also looking at other organizations. he could have potentially also been affiliated or directed by the al qaeda element there known as al qaeda in the islamic maghreb. they are very active there. intelligence is still tracking down all of these leads but able to confirm that he traveled to libya for three weeks, returning to manchester only a couple of days before the attack. >> and bob baer, his brother is under arrest in libya, we're told for plotting his own attack there. some observers are sayi

one in libya, won here in manchester. 1 been picked up. one in libya, won here in manchester. i suppose like any other investigation, you start with the family first and move outwards? i'm guessing that the police are moving forward their investigation. they turned up at a number of addresses, found some people there and they don't know whether what they are being told is correct. they have two investigate and it doesn't mean that the person is automatically guilty. but the best way to question someone is at a police station. they don't know what they are going to find at the address. they are taking things out, slowly, methodically. they will know whether there is any evidence against the people they are arresting, or not. thank you, david, for being with us. a couple of lines to bring you about security. we've heard that chelsea's parade on sunday, that has been cancelled, the parade of the trophy because of the terror threat that has been increased. the focus will shift tonight to the football in stockholm. manchester united are playing. thousands of fans have gone over the

so they were here in the first place because of libya. and he returned, his father, and they themselves returned to fight with the militias that fought against gadaffi after the arab spring, and they kind of made it back. they were back and forth between manchester and libya. so it shows that this was a family a little bit torn. abedi himself spent a couple of years there and came back, and there was a stigma around him and his siblings and that whole libyan community in manchester, in the sense they were considered cultural half—breeds — not really libyan and not really british. so that is the context he thrived in, if that makes sense. in terms of his ideological radicalisation. a final point, very interesting that no—one has picked out — when they were arrested in libya, his father and brother, they were not picked up by any official police force. libya is a state in complete anarchy. they were picked up by a local militia. so they don't have an official intelligence system that can coordinate with the british and americans, in

did he go directly to libya? there is commercial air travel to that country and did he go to next door tunisia where it might not have raised red flags and crossed over into libya. they're looking into all of that and contacting the people they know inside libya and trying to see if anybody can tell them where he might have gone. did he see his family? did he meet with others in libya? they're telling me they're looking at a couple of possibilities. maybe it was isis, but they're also looking at a group known as aqim, al qaeda in the islamic magrabe. a rival of isis in this region, a group that has engaged in violent activities and external plotting and they're looking at all of this now trying to determine, but it certainly does raise a lot of flags about him going there for three weeks and not coming back until a couple of days until a couple of days before man chester. >> important information. thank you so much. barbara is working her sources and picking that up. >> paul i want to get your quick reaction to w

and of those radical elements in libya. those kind of connections are very confiscated and are only now becoming clear. especially when it but —— when it comes to the movements of salman abedi. thank you very much indeed. that is middle east corresponded nvidia. just standing and posing and flexing about the atrocity that this happened. ——pausing and reflecting. this investigation continues with counter terrorism. three men have been arrested in the south manchester area. this is after police warrants we re area. this is after police warrants were issued in connection and we can confirm that the 23—year—old man arrested yesterday is the 20 seasonal brother of the attacker salman abedi. there were a raid in south manchester that he knew about as well. yesterday 22—year—old salman abedi was identified, today the home secretary amber rudd has said that intelligence services knew him toa said that intelligence services knew him to a point, a crucial question that needs to be answered about to what extent was he

this is according to a source in libya. now, that friend says salman's father took his son's passport's when they arrived and only gave them back, at least to salman because he thought his son was going to mecca for the smaller pilgrimage. salman abedi returned to england instead, and as we now know carried out the attack just three days later. [speaking foreign language]. >> translator: at the beginning one of the girls was on the internet and saw on the news that salman is a suspect of the explosion in manchester. so i went on the internet and watched bbc world and started following the news. they said he was only a suspect and i kept waiting for news until morning. at 1:00 p.m. i saw the news that the suspect is salman abedi. i was not expecting this to happen and didn't know anything about this matter because he didn't say he was going to manchester and staying there. he said he was going to hombra and he got a special offer from manchester and he would go to hombra from there. >> reporter: all right. carlton king is a

let's focus a little bit on libya. notan news. let's focus a little bit on libya. not an easy investigation when you're talking about a failed state like that with so many different factions in parts of different factions in parts of different parts of the country. we sent our correspondent quentin somerville there. we believe that abedi's father may be in libya and this family has links to radical is the most grapes, that has expressed support for al-qaeda, not just for that has expressed support for al-qaeda, notjust for them but also for the front in syria. it is worth remembering that libya tomic it is much forgotten about in the work to islamic state. thousands of fighters from libya had honed their skills battling against president gaddafi, they then moved to both syria and iraq and honed his skills further. they were able to come back here and set upa they were able to come back here and set up a base and then move from libya to europe. we don't know if abedi was part of that network, but his family certainly have links and have expressed support for those r

extraordinarily complex investigation linked to libya. what can you tell us about the people in custody? christian: there have been a number of arrests in libya. salman abedi's father, known to the security services here, and his younger brother, and that follows the arrest of another brother ismail. , there has been an arrest in today, a man pulled off a bus. quite dramatic pictures of that arrest. there was focus on a package he had. lots of different threads, jane, that need pulling together, and how significant they might be for the investigation. jane: what is happening where you are? there is a lot of noise and people gathering behind you. what is happening and what is the mood there? christian: there have been a number of vigils set up around the city. there is a big athletic meeting here at the end of the week. a lot of flowers transported and they have been growing through the day. families are observing and taking it in with their own thoughts. you can see that at the moment they have broken into spontaneous song. we have had a

he might have met in libya. it's not clear at this point exactly why he went to libya, but family, friends telling cnn that it was actually the father who wanted to get him out of a sort of troubling situation related to gangs in manchester and to get him out of the country to get him over to libya, and then he then sort of made up a pretext to his family about going to pilgrimage in saudi arabia to get back to the uk. so, not clear whether he went to libya to get any sort of terror training or anything like that. a lot of unknowns at this point. >> the relative sophistication, though, of this bomb, does that suggest to you a much wider network, and perhaps an isis link? >> possibly, and abedi was somebody who flunked out of university, didn't have any technical or chemistry background. and so, difficult to believe that he could have had the sort of skill set necessary to build what looks like a relatively sort of sophisticated device, at least not a crude device, so they are very concerned that there could be a

he had watched him come and go from manchester to libya. now he can't believe what his neighbour did. unbelievably disgusting, to be honest. especially for a muslim. and a libyan as well. to us, obeying the law of the country is the most priority number one. that's what the prophet teaches us. some talk of erratic behaviour, of abedi chanting in the street. he was shouting in arabic. eidams know the language. —— i don't know their language. the bbc has been told a black flag with islamic writing hung outside his home. many had no idea what it meant. i saw some sort of flag outside. with islamic writing on it? ididn't i didn't really look at it. was it english writing? no. a community worker who didn't want to go on camera has told us that two people who knew salman abedi at college went to police several years ago. they said he was supporting terrorism and had expressed a view that being a suicide bomber was ok. greater manchester police will not comment on those claims. and what about the manchester bomber‘s family? this is his broth

many from libya. our allies are convinced america is back with a president who means what he says and says what he means. but the president has one problem. one problem that he has to fix. and in spite these historic successes like flying directly from saudi arabia to israel, and meeting with israeli prime minister netanyahu, then immediately meeting palestinian president abbas, both of them saying they are willing to work toward the pursuit of peace with each other and our dearest ally is rail convinced we have her back. yet the president has that one problem he needs to fix. and while the leaders of christianity, islam and judaism gave him receptions unlike anything we've seen in the last 8 years, it took scene outsider to reset relations in the middle east, and for the first time there is actual hope that we, all of us who believe in god, are partners against a common evil, radical islam and a common foe, iran. and instead of appeasing the enemy with apologies and money, our president stood shoulde

and in libya. the police are very much working on the assumption that the perpetrator was not working by himself. the likelihood is that he had significant help from other sources, including quite , and thered a third have been photographs that have been leaked to the new york times would seem to indicate this was a quite sophisticated device that included potentially a remote trigger. the device appeared a being held in a backpack on the perpetrators back and also a 12 that bombry charging device. so a lot of investigations carrying on both here and in libya and elsewhere. there have been reports that the perpetrator had spent time in syria recently. so three countries at least are involved in terms of the on the ground investigation. laura: just looking behind you i can see up see of flowers, a lot of people down there to pay their respects. it's still very raw for the people of manchester with more of the victims being identified today and a lot of people fighting for their lives in the hospital

the father and brother of the attacker are arrested in libya. before carrying out the attack salman abedi travelled to libya — and possibly syria as well. police believe he was not acting alone. it's very clear that this is a network that we are investigating, as i said it continues at a pace, there's extensive investigations going on. police here have arrested a fifth man in connection with the incident. he was detained in wigan — police say he had been carrying a package. in another development, the new york times has published photographs of what appear to be the remnants of the bomb — and the backpack it was being carried in on monday night. an off—duty policewoman was among the 22 who were killed, police say they now know the identities of all the victims. hundreds of troops have been deployed in prominent sites, around the uk, as britain's threat level is raised to critical — the highest there is. good evening and organ to manchester, we are in the saint ambrose marco square in the heart of the city. there are a growing number of

salman abedi's father and brother have been detained in libya. they deny allegations of any connection to extremist groups. leaked photos from the scene of the bombing are published in the new york times. british investigators have expressed "fury" and "astonishment. " more tributes for the victims. so far, 1a have been named. police say they know the identities of everyone who was killed. hello, and welcome. the investigation into monday night's bombing in manchester is moving fast. police say they are looking, notjust at the bomber salman abedi, but a "network" of people. there has been more arrests around manchester and in other uk cities. our chief correspondent, gavin hewitt, starts our coverage. late morning, central manchester, and a raid on a block of flats, part of a huge operation to discover the network of the manchester bomber. police believe he stayed there as recently as 7pm on monday evening of the night of the attack. today's operation involved armed units, some wearing military clothing. got to the front door and was greeted by a

reportedly traveled to libya recently. three of his relatives are among seven people in custody. his older brother was arrested in manchester, his father and younger brother were taken into custody and libya. officials say the brother had links to the islamic state and knew about the attack. >> reporter: heavily armed officers raided an apartment building wednesday afternoon at one point using a controlled explosion. part of the investigation into a possible terror network. his older brother was arrested in manchester and younger brother has been arrested in libya because of suspected ties to isis. the father also arrested for interrogation. several other suspects taken into custody and they say he did not act alone. >> it is very clear that this is a network we are investigating and it continues with extensive investigations going on. >> reporter: authorities say he spent three weeks in libya before detonating the improvised explosive device. thousands of fans were leaving the concert. the blast killed 22 including a poli

libya's chaos won't be contained. bbc news, eastern libya. laura: the road from libya to manchester. you are watching bbc "world news america." still to come, president trump set off a giant guessing game over the word "covfefe." we have a young speller who might be able to help him out. research suggests bullying the online gaming world is a growing problem. said half ofel gamers have been harassed or received threats. it includes hate speech and unwanted sexual advances. online gamers are often seeking an escape from the will world, where they may also experience bullying. for 16-year-old bailey, video games have been a big part of his life and was an escape when he had a hard time at school. he enjoys pitting skills against other players online, but he doesn't like the abuse he gets while playing. he first experienced bullying in games when he was 10, and it is it eating better. been playing a game and i got a goal, i've been literally told to kill myself. if you have abuse at school, and you come home and get more abuse thrown at you, it

it is widely reported he was in libya. you know the terror camps are set up in the northeastern part of the country. how significant could that be? >> massively. it tells you that -- if this is truly connected to groups like isis, it tells you that we are deeply in the next phase, al qaeda was obsessed with one-off spec tackles of violence. 9/11 was the classic example. isis has gone back in time and doing classic guerilla warfare. taking simple tactics like very simple tactics into the heartland of what they call the infidel. if they're true it is another example of guerrilla warfare coming to the streets of western civilization. >> the president characterized these killers this way. >> so many young, beautiful, innocent people living and enjoying their lives murdered by evil losers in life. i won't call them monsters because they would like that term. they would think that's a great name. >> what consulted with the president, if anyone, on that phrase? evil losers in life? >> we don't talk about the inside mechanics of w

so in april he brought them back to libya. he confiscated their passports to make sure they don't go back to manchester, but according to the special deterrent force, according to family friends, salman deceived his family, told them he wanted to go to saudi arabia to perform the umrah pilgrimage, took his passport, flo flew back to united kingdom, two days later carried out the attack in manchester. while we hear they don't believe the planning or training took place in libya because according to this armed group from what they say, hashim told them that the planning took place starting at the end of 2016. but you would still feel investigators will be looking into what may have taken place during his time in libya, whether this trip or previous trips, who he may have met with or spoken to considering the situation in libya, lawless country where you have so many armed groups and isis operating in that country. >> very important background there live from tunisia. thank you so much. >>> another terrorism attack to tell you ab

then they can move from libya to europe. we do not know if salman abedi was part of the network but his family have expressed support of the radical, islamist groups. thank you very much. quentin with the latest on the story he has been able to piece together in libya. the identities of 12 killed in the attack have been revealed. they include 32—year—old kelly brewster, 15 olivia campbell from berry. they we re 15 olivia campbell from berry. they were named this morning. tributes have been paid to all the victims, including 28—year—old saffie roussos, he was described by her head teacher as simply a beautiful little girl in every aspect of the word. saffie roussos had gone with her mum to dance to her pop idol. she was the youngest known victim of the attack. the death of the eight—year—old has hit the community hard. parents holding children close. tributes at her family's sha nty close. tributes at her family's shanty shop continuing to grow. —— fish and chip shop. the loss has affected parents, pupils and

libya was intolerable, he couldn't do it any more. last year broke records for the number of migrants making the crossing, and this year looks set to top that. italy has borne the weight of housing and caring for them, but opinion is hardening with claims that these rescue missions are a taxi service for migrants and even that the aid agencies are colluding with libyan people smugglers to bring the migrants to europe. our sole mission is to save the lives of people and especially children who are escaping violence, persecution and extreme poverty. we have no contact whatsoever with people smugglers. earlier in the week, a body was spotted. the sea is a graveyard too. the search will go on. this crossing from libya has become an established route run by ruthless criminals who care little whether their desperate passengers will see another day. reeta chakrabarti, bbc news. stay with us on bbc news, still to come: we take you to a church in chicago offering sanctuary to families fighting president trump's deportation orders. i, nelson ro

if you see what he is thinking about libya, what he has written about libya, he believes in jihad. says the manchester attack, the bbc has asked for an interview with trustees of the mosque where the abedi family prayed. today, we we re the abedi family prayed. today, we were united in. did anybody report this young man? indeed, one of the imams reported this person. we were not aware, it was a private matter. he didn't tell anybody inside the mosque? that has to be a worry. he didn't tell anybody inside the mosque? that has to be a worrym has to be a worry because as trustees we should, i suppose, know what is going on. you suppose? the reason i say i suppose, if he reported him because he had information which we do not, it is between him and the counterterrorism police. i have not really spoken to him since. not the imam who noticed him since. not the imam who noticed him first to find out more information? i don't have information, i don't need information, i don't need information, i don't need information, i am information, i don't need information, iam not information, i don

and the daily mirror shows the picture of the attacks brother, arrested in libya earlier today. so let's begin. we were remarking earlier that the image on the front page is that of troops on uk streets. what does that make you feel when you see that, lance? streets. what does that make you feel when you see that, lance7m makes you appreciate the seriousness of the situation we face, not that we needed reminding of that, but i'm sure the security of services, the government, will be pleased to see this photograph on a lot of the front pages, it's partly there for reassurance to let the public know everything is being done to keep the streets as safe as they can be. some people may feel there's a bit of window dressing about it, that it really is there more for reassurance and the practical benefits that this can have but it takes the pressure off the police service themselves. it will allow them to concentrate on the serious work to be done, which is of course ensuring that if there is of course ensuring that if there isa is of course ensuring that if there is a sell out there a

obviously you are traveling to libya and syria, it has to be questioned. this is no doubt why people get on information systems, intelligence systems. why you go to these regions when the conflict is so high in these particular countries. normally we've seen attacks by lone actors and groups like islamic state will claim respsibility. it may be a little bit not so much direct order or direct control, but you can clearly see there's some people really and vetted within the narrative, this extreme islamist narrative. brent: david in liverpool, thank you very much. we appreciate your insights tonight. reporter: you're welcome. brent: u.s. president donald trump has met with pope francis in rome as part of his nine-day tour. the two had clashed publicly on issues in the past ranging from climate change to migration, but they seem to have put their differences aside at a successful meeting in rome. trump later arrived in brussels, where he will meet with leaders of other nato member countries for a summit of the military alliance. good evening to you, baron. a
