Ariana Grande to hold benefit concert for Manchester terror attack victims

Mrs May, a former Home Secretary, will use the opportunity of a meeting of North Atlantic Treaty Organisation leaders in Brussels on Thursday to speak with Mr Trump about her concerns, according to a United Kingdom government official with knowledge of her plans.

The BBC said Manchester police hoped to resume normal intelligence relationships soon but were furious about the leaks.

The 23-year-old singer also shared a link raising funds to support families of those killed and injured in the Manchester Arena attack.

Police didn't provide any further information or say where Abedi was coming from when he landed in the west German city.

Home Secretary Amber Rudd had said she was "irritated" by the disclosure of Abedi's identity against the UK's wishes and had warned Washington "it should not happen again".

Police are expected to be investigating if the bomb was assembled at the address. A USA law enforcement official later authenticated the photos and said they had been provided by British authorities to American investigators, CNBC reported.

"We are shocked and saddened by the news of former Bury College student John Atkinson who sadly lost his life during Monday evening's incident", Bury College Principal Charlie Deane told CNN in a statement.

The leaks make matters worse for British authorities who, as a result of the investigation into the bombing, are under pressure to prevent yet another attack they believe is imminent. "When that trust is breached it undermines these relationships and undermines our investigations".

The announcement comes just a day after Israeli Defense chief Avigdor Lieberman said that his country had changed intelligence-sharing protocols.

The president is expected to get an earful from May following the apparent leak at the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation summit.

- In the early hours of the morning, a controlled explosion is carried out during a police search at a property in the Moss Side area of Manchester.

A British official says police in Manchester will stop sharing information about their bombing investigation with the USA until they get a guarantee that there will be no more leaks to the news media.

Roussos was the youngest person to die in Monday's attack.

However, a woman arrested last night was released without charges.

Abedi's father, Ramadan Abedi, and brother, Hashim, are the two arrests in Libya.

The Conservatives and Labour are to resume local general election campaigning on Thursday, and national campaigning on Friday.

Younger brother Hashem, 20, was held by militia in the Libyan capital Tripoli, as was their father.

"From the day I started putting the Dangerous Woman Tour together, I said that this show, more than anything else, was meant to be a safe space for my fans".

The Latest on the investigation into the Manchester concert bombing.

Manchester police continued making arrests in the investigation with the number of detentions rising to eight in the wake of the UK's worst terrorist attack since the July 2005 bombings in London. Abedi died in the attack.

Saffie was described as a "warm and kind" little girl by senior leaders at Tarleton Community Primary School.
