The Greater Manchester mayor Andy Burnham has said a "new approach" has to be taken to the government's Prevent strategy, aimed at the early monitoring and flagging up of extremist behaviour and radicalisation.

Mr Burnham said the strategy had had "good intentions" when it began [in 2005] under a Labour government but that the programme had changed in the meantime, posing problems for its effectiveness: "It began as a community empowerment initiative and it became more top down. And in parts of the Muslim community it's created more resentment and therefore less buy-in to the entire concept."

He said a new effort should be made in the wake of the terror attack in Manchester last week to build on the "togetherness" shown, "bringing all our communities together to ensure that there is that flow of information. We want to get back to it being about empowerment of communities to provide information."

As Jeremy Corbyn and Theresa May prepare to be interviewed by Jeremy Paxman - and a studio audience of voters - on Channel 4 later, Labour election co-ordinator Andrew Gwynne has told Today that he thinks "Labour offers a vision of hope, of a transformed Britain".

In contrast, he claims, Theresa May thought the election "would be a coronation" but has effectively had to "pulp" her manifesto after the Tories' social care plans came under scrutiny.

BBC Breakfast

Amber Rudd, having a busy Bank Holiday weekend, has now appeared on BBC One's Breakfast, again stressing her confidence that the UK can get a good post-Brexit deal to access and share security information with EU members.

As the UK leaves the EU, she says, "we will need to have a new form of agreement to make sure we have access to those databases".

She adds:

As Brexit negotiations progress, "we will be able to reassure Germany and other European countries that we are going to be a strong partner to them", said Home Secretary Amber Rudd.

Her words follow comments by German Chancellor Angela Merkel - who is on her own election campaign trail - that Europe can no longer "completely depend" on the US and UK following the election of President Trump and Brexit.

Ms Rudd added: "We can reassure Mrs Merkel that we want to have a deep and special partnership so that we can continue to maintain European-wide security."

And responding to Lib Dem claims that the UK could be excluded from an EU security database, the home secretary says she believes the government can "negotiate a position" to secure continued access.

On Sunday, Amber Rudd revealed that powers to stop suspected extremists returning to the UK have been used for the first time.

She would not tell the BBC's Andrew Marr how many times temporary exclusion orders had been used but said they were part of a home secretary's "tool kit".

On Today, the home secretary denied that temporary exclusion orders are "pointless", adding:

Home Secretary Amber Rudd has been speaking to Today about the Conservatives' proposals to tackle domestic violence, including a new commissioner to stand up for victims and hold the police to account.

"In some areas there is under-reporting of domestic violence," Ms Rudd says. A commissioner would have "oversight" and make sure "efforts that are put in place are effective throughout the country".

Presenter John Humphrys says women's refuges have closed and more than 155 women a day are being turned away.

The home secretary says the government has put in an extra £20m in funding to make sure there are residential places for women.

BBC political correspondent Eleanor Garnier looks at the latest party campaign priorities.

The Liberal Democrats, as we know, are focusing on their claim that the UK could be denied access to an EU security database after Brexit.

The Conservatives will set out plans to tackle domestic violence, including tougher sentences involving children.

Labour is pressing the Tories over their proposals affecting pensioners, such as means-testing the winter fuel allowance and whether there will be a cap on social care costs.

Eleanor says the Conservatives are likely to continue to want to compare the leadership qualities of Theresa May and Jeremy Corbyn, while Labour is focusing on domestic policies.

In his Today programme interview, Nick Clegg was challenged over the Liberal Democrats' manifesto commitment "to roll back state surveillance powers" and opposing government attempts to prevent service providers encrypting communications.

"We use encryption all the time," Mr Clegg says, such as with messaging service WhatsApp and online banking services.

Conservative politicians use WhatsApp, the former deputy prime minister says.

Encryption is "part of the fabric of our data-driven modern economy" and could not be ended without causing "huge disruption to the rest of the way we now conduct our everyday lives".

In addition, many service providers arebased outside the UK:

One of the many effects of the Manchester atrocity has been to increase the pressure on social media giants like Facebook to do more to stop extremists posting dangerous material.

Brian Lord, former deputy director for intelligence and cyber operations at GCHQ says there is an option for governments to threaten social media firms with large fines to tackle the problem.

As we've reported, former Lib Dem leader Nick Clegg has been on Today talking about EU crime-fighting initiatives - you can listen to the interview here.

Today Programme

Former Lib Dem leader and deputy PM Nick Clegg - now his party's Brexit spokesman - joins Today to explain why the Lib Dems are warning that the UK could be "cut off" from an EU-wide crime and security database.

The Schengen Information System (SIS) allows police across Europe to access information on criminals and terrorists.

Combating terrorism and criminal gangs is "principally an intelligence-led and data-based activity", Mr Clegg says. He says the database is "by far the largest and most sophisticated of its kind" and accessed by UK officials "16 times a second, on average" - for example, when people are stopped at ports and airports.

You can't have access unless you abide by EU data protection and privacy laws, he continues.

The Conservatives have to come up with "concrete answers" as to "how you square the circle of wanting to have access to data which can only be legally both uploaded and accessed [if] all the participating countries abide by rulings from the European Court of Justice".

"However much they keep saying they want this to happen, it won't happen in reality."

Mr Clegg calls for "concrete action on these dilemmas which are manufactured exclusively by the Conservatives".

Airport chaos caused by a computer failure and a show of defiance at the Great Manchester Run dominate the front pages - though the i looks ahead to an election debate later.

Theresa May and Jeremy Corbyn are to take part in separate interviews with Jeremy Paxman in a Channel 4 and Sky News programme. They will also take questions from a studio audience.

The UK could be "cut off" from an EU-wide crime and security database after Brexit, the Liberal Democrats are warning.

The party's Brexit spokesman, Nick Clegg, said losing access to the Schengen Information System (SIS) would be "Euroscepticism gone mad".

The SIS allows police across Europe to access information on criminals and terrorists.

The Conservatives said the Lib Dems were "peddling nonsense".

After Theresa May suggested a cap on the overall costs of social care - in contrast to the Tory manifesto - former culture secretary John Whittingdale was asked what the new cap should be.

Mr Whittingdale said: "We haven't yet got to the stage of determining what the cap should be."

Pressed to give an answer, the former culture secretary said "I can't possibly pluck a figure out of the air. I don't know."

Plaid Cymru leader Leanne Wood was asked about SNP leader Nicola Sturgeon's suggestion of a "progressive alliance" with Labour after the general election.

She said the prospect of left of centre parties forming the next government was unlikely, saying "the Tories are going to win. It's clear to me that Theresa May is the leader of the national party of England now."

Barry Gardiner of Labour also rejected the idea, saying "If Labour were to be the largest single party, the honourable thing to do in my view would be to govern as a minority government."
