Theresa May has raised the UK terror threat level to critical - meaning an attack is expected imminently - after 22 people died and 59 were injured by a suicide bomber in Manchester.
Here is her speech in full.
I have just chaired another meeting of Cobra, where we again discussed the callous and cowardly terrorist attack in Manchester last night, and the operational response from the security service, the police and other emergency services.
It remains the case that, other than the terrorist himself, 22 people were killed in the attack. Fifty-nine people remain injured, and many of them have life-threatening conditions.
As Greater Manchester Police confirmed earlier today [Tuesday], the perpetrator was Salman Ramadan Abedi, a 22-year-old who was born and brought up in Britain.
And as the emergency services have confirmed throughout the day, his victims were innocent children, young people and their families.
Our thoughts and prayers are with them all.
I want to reiterate what I said this morning about the professionalism of the emergency services and the bravery of the people of Manchester. Through their actions, they proved that cowardice will always be defeated by bravery, that evil can be overcome by good, and that our values - the liberal, pluralistic values of Britain - will always prevail over the hateful ideology of the terrorists.
In my statement earlier today, I said that the police and security services needed to investigate whether or not Abedi was acting alone. Those investigations continue. But the work undertaken throughout the day has revealed that it is a possibility we cannot ignore that there is a wider group of individuals linked to this attack.
This morning, I said that the Joint Terrorism Analysis Centre (JTAC) - the independent organisation responsible for setting the threat level on the basis of the intelligence available - was keeping the threat level under constant review.
It has now concluded, on the basis of today's investigations, that the threat level should be increased, for the time being, from severe to critical. This means that their assessment is not only that an attack remains highly likely, but that a further attack may be imminent.
The change in the threat level means that there will be additional resources and support made available to the police as they work to keep us all safe.
As a result of the JTAC's decision, the police have asked for authorisation from the secretary of state for defence to deploy a number of armed military personnel in support of their armed officers.
This request is part of a well-established plan, known as Operation Temperer, in which both the armed forces and the police officers involved are well-trained and well-prepared to work in this kind of environment. The secretary of state for defence has approved this request, and Operation Temperer is now in force.
This means that armed police officers responsible for duties such as guarding key sites will be replaced by members of the armed forces, which will allow the police to significantly increase the number of armed officers on patrol in key locations.
You might also see military personnel deployed at certain events, such as concerts and sports matches, helping the police to keep the public safe. In all circumstances, members of the armed forces who are deployed in this way will be under the command of police officers.
Precisely how the military and armed police officers will be deployed is an operational decision for police commanders and Assistant Commissioner Mark Rowley of the Metropolitan Police will be making a statement giving further details at New Scotland Yard later this evening.
In the coming days and weeks, there will of course be many events hosted up and down the country. The police will work with the organisers and hosts of these events, to come to a judgement about how they can go ahead while making sure the people who attend them are safe and secure.
I do not want the public to feel unduly alarmed. We have faced a serious terrorist threat in our country for many years. And the operational response I have just outlined is a proportionate and sensible response to the threat that our security experts judge we face. I ask everybody to be vigilant, and to cooperate with and support the police as they go about their important work.
I want to end by repeating the important message I gave in my statement earlier today. We will take every measure available to us and provide every additional resource we can to the police and the security services as they work to protect the public.
And while we mourn the victims of last night's appalling attack, we stand defiant. The spirit of Manchester - and the spirit of Britain - is far mightier than the sick plots of depraved terrorists. That is why the terrorists will never win, and we will prevail.

Greater Manchester Police's suspect for yesterday's attack, Salman Abedi, was born in Manchester and was 22 years old.
He has at least three siblings: an elder brother who was born in London, and a younger brother and sister who were born in Manchester.
The family is believed to be of Libyan origin.
They have lived at more than one address in Manchester, including the property at Elsmore Road in the Fallowfield area that was raided by police today.
Neighbours described how the family would fly Libyan flags at some times of year.

“The terrorists and extremists and those who give them aid and comfort must be driven out from our society forever,” Mr. Trump said after a meeting with Mahmoud Abbas, the president of the Palestinian Authority. “This wicked ideology must be obliterated, and I mean completely obliterated,” Mr. Trump added.
Mr. Trump said that he would not call people like the bomber “monsters” because they would “think that’s a great name.” Instead, he said that people who conducted attacks like the one at the concert should be called losers.
“I will call them from now on losers, because that’s what they are,” Mr. Trump said. “They’re losers. And we’ll have more of them. But they’re losers. Just remember that.”

• The police said they were treating the case “as a terrorist incident.”
Vi får hoppas i all bedrövelse att det inte var ett terrordåd.

DN gör helomvändning på ledarplats
Tolv år efter Mauricio Rojas artikel om att kulturarvet ligger bakom invandrarnas brottslighet tycks något ha skett på Dagens nyheter, som under de senaste åren med Peter Wolodarski vid rodret gått i bräschen för att sprida desinformation om massinvandringens konsekvenser på det svenska samhället.
Efter att ha publicerat en studie som visar att en stor majoritet av de som ligger bakom den senaste tidens våg av skjutningar är invandrare och i synnerhet de med bakgrund i Mellanöstern och Nordafrika, skriver man ett par dagar senare på ledarplats plötsligt att “varken myndigheterna eller journalistiken får vara rädda för fakta” och “att studera kriminellas bakgrund kan ge värdefull kunskap för att minska brotten”.
Detta torde vara självklarheter men som inte varit just det i Sverige under de senaste decennierna. Och istället för att göra något åt de hela tiden växande problemen har man ödslat desto mer tid och energi på att jaga de som försökt påtala problematiken och den oundvikliga utvecklingen – som nu alltså blommat ut fullständigt.
I dessa kappvändarnas tid är det många som försöker påstå att man minsann tyckt si och så under lång tid tillbaka, medan verkligheten är att dessa är ytterst få. I alternativmedierna har dessa samlats för att bli bombarderade med diverse epitet. Men det finns några få undantag även i de etablerade medierna. Två av dessa är Paulina Neuding och Alice Teodorescu.
Inget nytt förutom förre rektorns skitprat (bra rutet Odenberg förresten)
Så skriver Karolinska institutets förra rektor Harriet Wallberg (bilden) i ett mejl till Dagens Medicin med anledning av lärosätets utredning av Paolo Macchiarini, den så kallade Heckscherrapporten. Enligt Harriet Wallberg innehåller utredningen en rad allvarliga fakta- och metodfel som hon tycker är besvärande att lärosätet inte har rättat till.
Bifogat i mejlet finns också ett brev adresserat till Karolinska institutet och de tre utredarna Sten Heckscher, Ingrid Carlberg och Carl Gamberg där Harriet Wallberg preciserar de tio punkterna.
Mikael Odenberg, ordförande i Karolinska institutets styrelse, säger till Dagens Medicin att Harriet Wallbergs brev inte kommer att föranleda någon åtgärd och att det ”inte innehåller något nytt”.
– Det är känt att hon är missnöjd med innehållet i Sten Heckschers rapport, men det är inget som angår KI:s konsistorium. Utan det får hon väl ta med Sten Heckscher, säger han.
