The European Parliament's negotiator on Brexit, Guy Verhofstadt, says the EU needs to "move forward".

His tweet comes after the German Chancellor Angela Merkel suggested that her country and Europe could no longer rely on the US and UK.

She told a rally in Munich: “The times in which we could completely depend on others are on the way out. I’ve experienced that in the last few days.

"We Europeans truly have to take our fate into our own hands.”

James Brokenshire, the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, has responded to a shooting in Bangor.

French President Emmanuel Macron says his clenched handshake with Donald Trump ahead of a Nato summit in Brussels was "not innocent".

The two presidents gripped each other's hands in a firm handshake when meeting for the first time - with Mr Macron clinging on when Mr Trump tried to let go.

Mr Macron told French media that he wanted to show that France would not make small concessions - not even symbolic ones.

"Donald Trump, the Turkish president or the Russian president see things in terms of power relationships," he said.

"I don't believe in diplomacy through public criticism but in my bilateral dialogues I don't let anything pass. That is how you get respect."

But another encounter from later in the day shows Mr Macron greeting German Chancellor Angela Merkel before making his way over to the US president, who seems, on this occasion, to get the upper hand, as it were.

Reality Check

Speaking on the Andrew Marr show, Amber Rudd said that TPIMS - Terrorism Prevention and Investigation Measures - are "more robust in legislation" compared to control orders.

But what are TPIMS, and what powers do police have to prevent terror suspects from travelling?

The BBC's Reality Check explains.

Our poll tracker brings you all the latest updates from senior elections and political analyst Peter Barnes.

Here's what he had to say last night:

Five polls have been published this evening. Overall, they reinforce Thursday night's polls which suggested that the Conservative lead over Labour has shrunk again since last weekend but there are quite large differences between the pollsters' figures.

ICM and ComRes have a larger gap between the two main parties than the other companies. They put it at 14% and 12% respectively but that's still down from what they were showing two weeks ago. The others have it at 6%-10%.

There will no doubt be some talk about the fact that Labour has dropped two points in YouGov's poll compared to the one they published on Thursday. But that still means that the gap is narrower than they found last weekend and it would be unwise to read too much into a small change between two individual polls.

The general trend is clear. The Conservatives are still ahead but Labour has closed the gap.

The World This Weekend
Radio 4 programme

Mail on Sunday columnist Peter Hitchens says it was "perfectly reasonable" for Jeremy Corbyn to discuss the UK's foreign policy in light of the Manchester terror attack.

Speaking on BBC Radio 4's The World This Weekend, Mr Hitchens said: "It's a position many find credible. I don't think it's going to do Corbyn any particular harm.

"What interests me is how the government is going to change the election back onto the area where I think they feel they can win - the economy and the issue over the EU."

The mayor of Greater Manchester, Andy Burnham, has been telling the BBC why he wanted the Great Manchester Run to go ahead following the attack in the city.

He said: "We did think very carefully about it, but we wanted to send the message out that you're not going to beat us - you're not going to stop us doing what we want to do.

"That's the message that's coming out loud and clear from the people of Manchester."

The mayor of Greater Manchester, Andy Burnham, is running 10k for the Manchester Emergency Fund - set up to support those affected by the terror attack and their families.
