I’ve read that CNN was discussing the idea with a guest that this was somehow a “false flag” attack, done to assist Theresa May in the upcoming general election? Can anyone confirm if they saw this deplorable conversation take place?

Also, those at a high level in the UK Government are apparently incensed at sensitive information about the crime scene being leaked to US media, apparently through US intelligence services.
What sort of ethical obligations do media organisations, like the New York Times, have to ensure that they do not compromise an ongoing investigation of this nature, by acting as a funnel for information which should never be leaking from US authorities in the first place?
The offending statement. It’s a lot less of a deal than some of the articles I’ve read have made it out to be.

Here is the live stream of the “One Love Manchester” concert from Old Trafford Cricket Ground. https://www.facebook.com/arianagrande/videos/10154561471596027/
Today had quite a decent amount of replays and live feeds of the concert in HD. I suppose that was a part of the deal for this evening’s telecast.
