UK officials were outraged when photos appearing to show debris from the attack appeared in the New York Times.



It came after the name of bomber Salman Abedi was leaked to US media 24 hours after the attack, which killed 22 - including children - and injured 64.

Theresa May is to raise concerns with Donald Trump at a Nato meeting later.

Greater Manchester Police hopes to resume normal intelligence relationships - a two-way flow of information - soon but is currently "furious", the BBC understands.

In total eight men are now in custody following the attack, carried out by Manchester-born Abedi, a 22-year-old from a family of Libyan origin.

It has also emerged two people who had known Abedi at college made separate calls to a hotline to warn the police about his extremist views.

2. This almost certainly has nothing to do with Trump.

4. It has everything to do with Trump. He's in charge now.

The buck stops with him.

5. As with every previous president, Trump does not control every single person in government.

It's fine to say that he is responsible to some degree for insuring it doesn't happen again. But to place the blame for this at the feet of Trump is grasping at straws. The leaks likely came from an agency to which Trump has no direct oversight.

6. The fool is out there telling a two-bit despot where our nuclear subs are

I'd say the culture of being careless with secrets starts at the top with this administration.

7. Things like this did not start with Trump. Leaks have always happened.

I think you're doing a disservice to the left when you pick pointless fights that obviously have little merit.
