Two survivors of the Manchester Arena attack have been awarded £45,000 between them in damages after winning a High Court harassment claim against a former TV producer.

The ruling in favour of Martin Hibbert and his daughter Eve comes after they sued Richard Hall over claims in several videos and a book that the attack was staged, with the pair being “crisis actors”.

Mr Hall said filming Ms Hibbert outside her home was in the public interest as a journalist, adding that “millions of people have bought a lie” about the attack, which left the father and daughter with life-changing injuries.
