Grande is tentatively scheduled to resume the tour on June 7 at the Bercy arena in Paris.
Britain’s political parties would resume local-level campaigning tomorrow for the June 8 snap polls following a nationwide minute’s silence, days after suspending efforts due to the Manchester terror attack in which 22 people were killed and over 100 injured.
Officials said that the ruling Conservatives and Opposition Labour will resume national-level campaigning on Friday.
The UK will hold the nationwide minute’s silence at 1530 IST tomorrow in memory of the victims of Monday night’s terror attack, officials said in a statement, adding that flags would remain at half-mast until tomorrow evening.
A 22-year-old Libyan-origin suicide bomber, Salman Abedi, set off a powerful homemade bomb at a concert of US pop star Ariana Grande in Manchester, killing at least 22 people and injuring 119 others. It was the deadliest terror attack in Britain since the 2005 London bombings.
Prime Minister Theresa May last month called for snap elections on June 8, asserting that it is the only way to guarantee political stability in the country for years after the UK leaves the European Union.
UK Prime Minister Theresa May will raise concerns with US President Donald Trump after evidence from the Manchester Arena bombing was apparently leaked to US media.
UK officials were furious when photos appearing to show debris from the attack appeared in the New York Times. Monday night’s attack at Manchester Arena killed 22 people – including children – and injured 64.
Eight men are now in custody following the attack, carried out by suicide bomber Salman Abedi.
The Prime Minister is expected to raise the issue of the leak with the US President when they meet at a NATO summit later. Details about Abedi’s identity had already emerged in the US media less than 24 hours after the explosion and against the UK’s wishes.
UK, seven people have been arrested including the suicide bomber Salman Abedi’s older brother Ismail, in connection with Monday’s terror attack at a Manchester Arena pop concert.
British police said, the seventh arrest was made following searches at an address in the town of Nuneaton in central England, and is the first outside the Manchester area.
All the previous arrests were made in and around Manchester in northwest England where the suicide bombing took place. The UK terror threat level is now at its highest level of critical, meaning more attacks may be imminent. Military personnel are being deployed to protect key sites after the UK’s terror threat level was raised yesterday.
Meanwhile, a British official said, Prime Minister, Theresa May will curtail her trip to the G7 summit in Italy this week following the deadly suicide attack. Prime Minister will attend the first day of the Group of Seven meeting tomorrow in Taormina on the island of Sicily, but will miss the Saturday talks.
Before heading to Sicily, May is due to attend the NATO, summit in Brussels today, where she will urge the other leaders of the military alliance to step up their efforts in tackling terror.
