Tributes to the Labour MP Jo Cox,

as Parliament is recalled to honour her memory.

The 41-year-old is remembered by colleagues as an irrepressibe

spirit, driven to fight for those in need.

Her usual seat in the Commons was decorated with the white rose

Her community and the whole country has been united in grief and united

in rejecting the well of hatred that killed her in what increasingly

appears to have been an act of extreme political violence.

MPs applauded Jo Cox's family, sitting in the public gallery above,

She was the heart and soul of these benches and we are heartbroken.

We loved her every day and we will miss her every day.

Batley and Spen will go on to elect a new MP,

We'll be reporting on today's tributes, four days after Jo Cox

was attacked and killed in her constituency.

Nigel Farage says Leave campaigners have been outrageously

depicted as the bad guys, following the killing of Jo Cox.

The Remain camp are using these awful circumstances to try to say

that the motives of one deranged, dangerous individual was similar

of half the country and perhaps more who believe we should leave the EU.

In Euro 2016, Wales sailed past Russia tonight by 3-0

And England are also through, but chances went begging

And coming up on euro 2016 Sportsday, we have further reaction

on what has been a crucial night for England and Wales as Group B's fate

was sealed. A special session of Parliament

was held today to honour the memory of Jo Cox,

the Labour MP killed last Thursday in her

constituency in West Yorkshire. Jeremy Corbyn said the whole country

had been "united in rejecting Mrs Cox's husband and two children

were in the public gallery to hear the tributes,

along with her parents During the day, an online fund

in Jo Cox's memory passed Our deputy political editor,

John Pienaar report, Two roses, white for Yorkshire

and Labour red alongside, For a single, unforgettable hour,

Parliament was no place One young MP's shocking

death had moved many. A rose on every chest,

MPs, high and low, hope that maybe, just maybe, Jo Cox would leave

a better politics behind. We need, Mr Speaker,

a kinder and gentler politics. This is not a factional

party political point. We all have a responsibility in this

House and beyond not to whip up Most politicians try

time prove lives. Jo Cox and her work

for refugees had saved them. Jo was a humanitarian to her core,

a passionate and brilliant campaigner whose grit

and determination to fight for justice saw her time and time

again driving issues up the agenda and making people listen

and above all, act. Quite simply there are people

on our planet today who are only But it was her closest

friends who truly hit home. Jo Cox's London home

was a house boat. I remember her worrying that

I'd drunk too much wine early in the evening,

until I realised it was the boat To combat and guard against hatred,

intolerance and injustice, to serve others with dignity

and with love. That is the best way we can remember

Jo and all that she stood for. But last, let me say this,

Batley and Spen will go on to elect a new MP,

but no-one can replace a mother. This was a loss felt

across party lines. A Conservative, not widely thought

of as soft centred, Making common cause with a crusty

old Tory, she and I became co-chairs She was the heart and soul of these

benches and we are heartbroken. She inspired us all and I swear

that we will do everything in our power to make her and her

family incredibly proud. There was a moment more rawly

political, just one, another friend voiced

what he believe to be Jo Cox's feelings about the controversial

Ukip anti-mass migration poster. She would have responded

with outrage and with a robust rejection of the calculated

narrative of cynicism, division and despair that it

represents, because Jo understood When insecurity, fear and anger

are used to light a fuse, Perhaps most moving,

another close, personal friend. The words were Jo Cox's speaking

about Syria, the tearing Children are being killed

on their way to school. One in three children have grown up

knowing nothing but fear and war. Those children have been

exposed to things no child I know that I would risk life

and limb to get my two precious babies out

of that hell hole. Applause is against the rules,

but they did it any way. Every eye on Jo Cox's two children

and her family, who'd watched it Afterwards, in Parliament Square,

Jo Cox's parents, Gordon and Jean Leadbeater,

Westminster. The man charged with murdering

Jo Cox, Thomas Mair, appeared before a judge

at the Old Bailey this afternoon on videolink

from the top-security Belmarsh The 52-year-old was

remanded in custody. He is charged with murder,

grievous bodily harm and possession He is due to appear before the same

court for a preliminary The Ukip leader, Nigel Farage,

has accused the Prime Minister of trying to create a link

between the murder of Jo Cox He said Mr Cameron's remarks implied

the Leave side was responsible During the day, the former

Conservative chairman, Baroness Warsi, announced

she was switching sides, because she found part of the Leave

campaign xenophobic in tone. Our political correspondent,

Alex Forsyth, has more details. A loss that numbed the nation

and forced a pause in Both sides called for more

respect, less venom. As the tributes kept coming

for Jo Cox in Burstall today, so the accusations started again,

with one figure claiming rivals were making political

capital out of tragedy. The Remain camp are using these

awful circumstances to try to say that the motives of one deranged,

dangerous individual was similar of half the country,

and perhaps more, who believe Provoking reaction is no rare

thing for Nigel Farage. This, the poster about immigration,

not endorsed about the official Leave campaign, that

caused such controversy. His latest accusation's been flatly

denied by the Remain camp. For some, the tone of those arguing

for the UK to leave have forced them Unfortunately, those of us

at the outset with that very clear, inclusive,

moderate vision for Brexit have, over time, been taken over

by a message which is divisive, which is inward looking,

xenophobic and unfortunately, it's creating deep divide

and hate on our streets. The official Leave campaign

maintains its message Today invoking past

battles for Britain, making the case for sovereignty

with Second World War serviceman. I'd love to have a union,

but built on a proper structure, not pencil pushers

and bureaucrats and plutocrats. This is a very different fight

from the one these veterans knew, but the country's future

is still on the line. With so much at stake,

Leave campaigners say it's no time The public voice their concerns

and anxieties around not being in control of our immigration

policy, about the impact of It is right that politicians

of the day find the right ways in How does it make you feel

when you are being accused as a campaign of sowing the seeds

of division and hatred? That is not the situation

or the position of vote Leave. We have been clear during this

campaign in terms of the case that we've been making

to the British public. Our case is about taking back

control when it comes to decision making, away from those institutions

of the European Union and putting power back in the hands

of the people. In these last few days,

campaigners want to appeal to people's emotion,

their sense of national identity and vision for the UK's

place in the world. As this turbulent campaign takes off

again for its crucial, final push, some fear

what's been said by both sides won't be forgotten,

even after Thursday's vote. David Cameron has told the BBC

there's everything to fight for in the next few days

and insisted he'd fought a positive campaign, despite

accusations of scaremongering. He said he wanted to be certain

that he'd spelled out He was on the campaign trail

in Birmingham and in Oxfordshire, and he spoke to our political

editor, Laura Kuenssberg. It's easier to get around when

police motorbikes clear the way. Thanks for letting us come along

and see what you do. But the Prime Minister's path has

not been as smooth as It's a race, helped by some Labour

faces, to see how many times he can I think we have put a very clear

argument, a very positive argument about stronger in,

safer in, better off in. There's nothing more positive

than having a strong economy and more jobs,

and that's the heart of our case. But it's been positive to tell

pensioners they might To warn that the leader

of the so-called Islamic State would be happy if we used our democratic

right to leave? I don't want to be the Prime

Minister who wakes up on June 24th having warned not want people

of the risks of leaving Do you think that this

debate has gone too far? You have been calling colleagues

liars, they have been Today we have Nigel Farage accusing

you of using the terrible death I would defend the points I have

made about the Leave campaign's leaflets because I'm very concerned

that people are being asked to leave the European Union, leave the single

market, costing jobs, and they're being asked to do that

on the basis of some He's not actually trying to sell

you a car, but very keen to sell you the EU single market, showing

a part from a tiny factory... Then another, then ending up inside,

and sold around the continent. But the question you are

being asked, stay or go, For as long as we are in the EU,

you therefore can't put What we can do is make sure that,

yes, of course British people are free to go and work in France

and Germany and Italy, and European nationals are able

to come and work here, If someone is on benefits

and can't find a job and can't support themselves,

we can ask them to leave. You have said voters deserve

politicians telling them the truth. It is true to say, if somebody

doesn't break the law, if they are not making

any claim on the state, if they are from an EU country,

they can come here in as many Well, it's true that British people

can go and work in France and Germany and Italy,

as many choose to, and there are 2 million Britons living abroad

whose rights are guaranteed. If Europeans want to come and work

here, they can, and let's celebrate for a moment the fact

there are 50,000 EU nationals Do you wish you'd made a more

positive case for immigration? I think we have made

a positive case about stronger This last dash is about

his future too though, With just 72 hours to go,

every mile and every This is about Britain's future,

it is about our family's future. If we walk out of that exit door,

there is no way back in. Well, Nancy and Elwin are old enough

to have been talking about it, and Nancy stole all of my "stronger

in" badges out of my box last night and took them off to school,

so she's quite passionate about it. Will the result surprise

him on Thursday? Laura Kuenssberg, BBC

News, Oxfordshire. One of Britain's most

prominent businessmen, Sir Richard Branson,

says he's backing the Remain campaign, and he's warned that

a Leave vote would be catastrophic for Britain, with

a big impact on jobs. Some other high-profile

interventions are expected in the last days of the campaign,

as our business editor, Businesses, no matter how big

they are, don't have a vote, And that voice has largely

been raised on the one Ford, Rolls-Royce, Microsoft, BMW,

JP Morgan, Shell, BP, RBS, Lloyds, Vodafone,

easyJet, John Lewis and others have all backed Remain,

while only a handful, like the owner of JCB, the boss

of Next and Sir James Dyson, Today, Sir Richard Branson

joined the in crowd. I am very fearful if Britain loses

a market of 500 million people that it will be

catastrophic for Britain. Big business leaders will sign one

last joint letter this week pressing Critics say these are all

establishment voices with a vested Among CBI members who tend

to be bigger employers, 77% of those surveyed said

we would be better off inside the European Union,

with only 6% saying When it comes to small businesses,

it's much closer. In a survey of its members,

the Federation of Small Businesses found that 47% of their members

preferred to remain, while 41% thought they would be

better off out. Now, that marked difference could be

explained by the greater importance big business tend to place

on our membership of the single market, something

we would lose if we left. So, what we mean

by the single market? Quite simply we mean unfettered,

tariff-free access to It's the biggest trading bloc

in the world and 40% of UK exports Roughly the same value of stuff

comes back the other way, so people who want to leave say it

would be crazy for Europe to put trade barriers in the way of selling

their stuff here in the UK. But it may be the same value,

it's a smaller percentage of their exports than it is of ours,

so arguably the single market means Whatever trade deal we struck

with the EU, the Vote Leave campaign say we would be free

outside the European Union to strike our own deals

with fast-growing countries around the world, but how

long would that take? If there's one thing most

businesses don't like, At the very heart of

this debate is jobs. The Polish builder, for example,

has become part of UK life. With skills shortages

in sectors like construction, could we do without the 2.1 million

EU nationals working here today? By leaving the EU, it would mean

we would have to train our own students and bring

in the apprentices to enter the building trade across the board,

rather than taking the easy route of bringing in those that

are already trained. As I said at the beginning,

businesses can't vote and it's not clear that UK workers share business

leaders' enthusiasm for the free movement of goods, services,

capital and crucially of people. For many, the economic uncertainty

that a Brexit may bring might be Our political editor,

Laura Kuenssberg, is in Westminster, and our Europe editor,

Katya Adler, is in Brussels. Donald Tusk, president

of the European Council, says that regardless

of the referendum result, the EU needs to take a long,

hard look at itself. What did he mean by that? Sometimes

in the UK we tend to see the EU in them and us terms. But the migrant

crisis, the euro crisis, terror and security fears, they have very much

changed views and the penny has now dropped, even here in the corridors

of Brussels that people are angry, they want EU change. European

scepticism is now widespread from Poland to Denmark and Greece, with a

big difference to the UK. Mistrust, distrust, dislike, yes, but a call

to leave the EU is far less common outside Britain. Today we had

leaders like Donald Tusk calling, urging for a Remain vote on

Thursday. A Swedish newspaper asked the UK to take a chance on the EU,

but if it doesn't those warm feelings towards the UK will likely

disappear. EU leaders worry that a Brexit will help the Eurosceptic

political parties of Europe. They don't intend to reward Britain with

a quick and generous trade deal if it chooses to leave the EU. EU

change is one thing, they don't want to encourage EU exit. Just three

days till the referendum, but David many will remember for a long time.

Indeed, the Battle bosses were out on the road, there was some forceful

campaigning to and fro but I have never seen anything like it here at

Westminster before. MPs lining up to give often simple but always

heartfelt tributes to their friend, colleague, and a politician who was

much admired. It has become clear this has affected many members of

the public too. The money raised for Jo Cox's favourite charities has hit

more than ?1 million today. Inevitably, at a time when the

country is on the verge of making a momentous political decision, that

is a reminder that politics in real life, even though they might seem

it, are not parallel universes. No campaign happens in a vacuum. One

minister described it as if an alarm clock had gone off, stopping the

debate just when it was in full flow. Inevitably, whichever way it

goes, there may be many voters, many still undecided, who think about

what has happened in the last few days and they are mulling over their

decision in a different context, a different atmosphere to how the

campaign felt this time last week. I also wonder how vigorous things have

been in the last few months, how forceful the campaigns have been,

and how vibrant and this role the campaign has become, that whatever

happens in the early hours of Friday, that many of those feelings

and sentiments and strongly held beliefs that have been expressed in

the last few weeks, they are not all things that will simply go back in

the bottle. Thank you, Laura and Katya.

The former Sheffield United striker Ched Evans, who faces a retrial

Donald Trump has sacked his campaign manager. The 42-year-old is reported

to have crashed with some of the traditional strategists hired by

Donald Trump recently. Earlier this year he was charged after grabbing a

female reporter, though the charges have been dropped. He said he will

continue to back the billionaire businessmen in his race to the White

House. The US authorities have released

a partial transcript of phone calls that took place between police

and Omar Mateen, the gunman who killed 49 people

at a nightclub in Orlando. Mateen speaks in Arabic at times

and describes himself The FBI said he appeared

to have been radicalised within the United States,

as our correspondent As Orlando continues to come

together in its grief, more information is coming to light

about the horrific events that led to so much loss of life

at the Pulse nightclub. The night of the attack,

it's now known police were negotiating for nearly half

an hour over three different phone The FBI has released partial

transcripts of those calls. Mateen identifies himself

as an Islamic soldier, saying America had to stop

bombing Iraq and Syria. At one point, he says he has

a suicide vest and threatens to detonate explosives in a vehicle

outside the club if, in his words, anyone

did anything stupid. But no such explosives or suicide

vest were ever found. While we are not releasing

the audio, what I can tell you is that when the killer made

these murderous statements, he did so in a chilling,

calm and deliberate manner. The FBI says it is still looking

into the motives of the killer, including issues surrounding his

mental health, his own sexual orientation, and the means

by which he may have While that investigation

better gun control. The first votes on the issue are due

thrown up by this attack, Aleem Maqbool, BBC

News, in Washington. The widow of a Falklands war veteran

is going to the High Court this week to prevent their frozen embryos

from being destroyed. Clive Jeffries had consented

to the embryos being stored for two years but died before that

could be renewed. His widow Samantha, who's 42,

says it's her last chance. Our medical correspondent,

Fergus Walsh, went to meet her This is the beach in East Sussex

where Samantha Jeffries' husband He was a medic in the Royal

Army Medical Corps... Clive served in the Falklands War

in 1982 and was on board the transport ship Sir Galahad

when it was bombed, killing 48 men. These are the medals that Clive

was awarded for his service. Two years ago, he died suddenly

of a brain haemorrhage. The couple had been undergoing

fertility treatment. Now Samantha has been

told his consent to store their last three frozen embryos has expired

and legally they It is my chance of having children

and my husband's children. It is something that

I would dearly love to have. It would be another loss

if I didn't have that and it The couple had undergone two rounds

of IVF and been due one last They ticked the box to consent

to ten years' embryo storage, but were asked by their clinic

to change it to two years because that was the limit

of their NHS funding. It seems common sense to me that

Samantha should be allowed to use the embryos and I'm hopeful

the courts will agree with that, but this is a sector

that is still very focused on form Samantha Jeffries' lawyers will ask

the High Court to set aside the letter of the law and instead

focus on the couple's clear intention to have a child together,

and crucially will point out that Mr Jeffries had signed forms saying

that, in the event of his death, Two years ago, Beth Warren won

a similar legal battle to stop her late husband's frozen

sperm being destroyed It strikes me also that they are my

embryos, so why can't I decide Why is it that somebody else

all of a sudden takes a decision on something that

came out of my body? Samantha Jeffries' predicament

would not have happened if her fertility clinic had followed

national guidelines saying that storage consent periods should not

be tied to funding limits. It has now changed its policy

and is now paying her legal costs. In Euro 2016, Wales and England

were in action tonight. Highlights are on BBC One

following the news, so if you don't want to know the detail

of what happened, it might be time Wales' footballers made history

tonight, beating Russia 3-0 to win their group and qualify

for the last 16 of the competition Hywel Griffith is with

the celebrating Welsh fans After a 58 year wait to play in a

major football tournament, Wales arrived in France the little

unfamiliar with how this is meant to work. Normally small nations go home

first, underdogs rarely get to top the group, but tonight that is where

Wales sit, at the summit of group B, above England, far beyond

expectation. The fans fearing this could be the end of the road,

instead are on an incredible journey. After waiting decades to

join the party, Wales arrived in Toulouse desperate not to say their

goodbyes. Tournament football may test the emotions but fans were

hungry for more. Very nervous. It is the biggest game in my generation

for Wales. Not going home yet, booking a couple more days off. The

confidence was contagious. Wales started like a team with nothing to

fear, Jo Allen threading through his pass, Aaron Ramsey sending Welsh

hopes skywards. Barely time to buy another beer before Wales came

again. Neil Taylor fluffed the first attempt but got his second chance.

2-0, it started to feel like target practice. His first ever goal for

Wales! Russia countered but Wales weren't ready to relent. Instead,

they sensed there was more. Time to set up Gareth Bale and make him the

tournament's top scorer. With Russia are routed, there was

simply no words left. Sometimes it is OK to cry. It's not the end of

it, this group of players are on the way to something else, on the way to

some more success. This is just part of the journey they are on.

Obviously me and my staff are glad we are honoured with them. Next

stop, Paris. Wales to dancing all the way and dreaming they could make

history once again. Wales are joined in the last 16

by England, who came second in their group, after being held

to a goalless draw by Slovakia. Our sports editor, Dan Roan, watched

that match in St Etienne tonight. England rested -- more than half of

the team. One of the six new starters was Jamie Vardy, the

striker has scored against Wales, against in Slovakia he was finding

it harder. Matus Kozacik preventing England from taking the lead. The

goalkeeper brilliantly denied Adam Lallana to make sure it was goalless

at half-time. England once again struggling to get the crowning

moment their pressure deserved. Having barely threatened, Slovakia

almost capitalised on sloppy defending. Chris Smalling fortunate

this error didn't prove costly. And with Matus Kozacik saving again,

England fans finally got their wish. Another substitute, Dele Alli, the

next to go close. Martin Skrtel somehow provided a crucial last line

of defence. By now, England knew they had to win to top the table,

and with an easier route through the tournament at stake, suddenly there

was added urgency. England fans provided a constant deafening

backdrop after chances came and went, the Slovakian defence hanging

on as England continued to search for the victory they craved. This

was becoming almost too painful to watch, England running out of time

and ideas, and having failed to make the breakthrough they must be

content with runners-up. Slovakia's defiance worthy of respect. England

through, but the cost of failing to remain at the top of the group will

soon become clear. We wanted to top the group, that was the aim from the

start so we are disappointed we didn't do that because we had the

opportunity to do that. It sounds obvious to say, but we did

everything but score. England played a dangerous game here in Saint

Etienne. Against Wales in their last match, Roy Hodgson's selection

decisions paid off, here this evening they most certainly

backfired. They know they have a week to get it out of their systems.

They won't play until a week tonight but they have to wait until

Wednesday evening to know who they will play. It will be the runners-up

in group F, which could be Iceland or Hungary, but it could be the much

more dangerous Portugal with Cristiano Ronaldo, and that country

has knocked England out plenty of times of major tournaments in recent

years. Roy Hodgson took a bold decision this evening, and while

England are through, there's no doubt there will be questions

because it means ultimately their route through this tournament has

become much more treacherous. Here on BBC One, it's time

for the news where you are. Our question for this Monday night

is what will happen on Friday if we vote to leave, the mechanics of

Brexit. Former Conservative leader Michael Howard will help us work it

out.
