stabbed in the stomach when he tried to go to Jo Cox's aid,

Welcome to Wales Today - our top stories...

Labour's big guns take to the streets - as campaigning

resumes for the EU referendum campaign -

No one's presented any facts, have they?

How do. We've had a go at a land they haven't made a very good job of

it. With just days to go now before

Thursday's Referendum - both the Leave and Remain

campaigners go head to head - Tonight's other headlines -

Welsh MPs share their memories Also tonight - the dangers

of swimming in reservoirs - Can Wales make history

and progress to the knock-out 90 minutes from kick-off

against Russia - a win We failed in 2003. What an

opportunity these players have got to get to the last 16. I don't think

they will underestimate it. It is going to take a big performance.

Rival camps in the EU referendum debate claim -

they each have momentum on their side - as campaigning

in Wales resumed after the death of the Labour MP Jo Cox.

Welsh Labour's biggest players were out in Pontypridd trying

Vote Leave campaigners claim - there's a shift in mood

in its direction as polling day approaches.

In a moment, we'll be hearing from two

of the leading figures from both sides of the campaign -

first our political editor Nick Servini.

The big beasts of Welsh Labour hit the streets of Pontypridd to try to

persuade voters to remain in the EU. Wearing white roses in memory of the

murdered MP Jo Cox. Lord Murphy and Lord Hain, a pair of former Welsh

secretaries. The big focus is now in the valleys because not enough

people are like him. Too many are ignoring the wishes of the party's

leadership and considering a Leave vote because of concerns about

immigration. It has been difficult, especially in the valleys where

there has been support for Leave. My opinion is that there is a definite

change of move and now a trend towards Remain. This is a safe

Labour seat but it is a striking feature of the campaign that areas

that are not used to tight political contests like the South Wales

valleys, find themselves in the middle of the political action. It

is the message getting through? I don't know. I swing from one to

another. I just don't know. I will decide on the day. Jobs,

opportunities, the ability to move freely around Europe. No one has

presented any facts that persuade me we should vote out. Out. They have

had a go at in and they haven't done a very good job. Leave campaigners

have said that Wales may have extra money in the event of a Leave.

Members of the Leave campaign have categorically confirmed that when we

leave the EU that farmers will continue to get the money they

receive, that all the money that the EU has promised to 2020 will be

continued to be received. There will be plenty of conversations on both

sides as the final flurry of campaigning gets underway.

Well, Nick's here with the First Minister Carwyn Jones

And the Leader of the Welsh Conservatives Andrew RT Davies

who wants Britain to Leave the European Union.

Thanks. First Minister, as long as we are in the EU, we cannot control

immigration from the EU. What it is wrong with wanting to control

immigration? You talk as if there is no passport control. There is.

50,000 people who work in the NHS are from the EU. People feel

concerned about job security but blaming immigrants is not the way to

deal with it. People need proper job security through laws. Do you accept

that we can't control it? Jeremy Corbyn said that. We have 3 million

people in Wales. We have 47,000 EU citizens. A tiny proportion. There

are 2 million UK citizens who live in countries outside the UK. Andrew,

are you happy with the tone of the Leave campaign. Baroness Warsi left

today saying it was xenophobic. The tone outlines what people are

saying. He clearly didn't say we have control over immigration. I

support somebody who supports migration because I see it as a

positive economic driver. However, all these decisions are taken in

Brussels by unelected commissioners. If we want to be responsible for the

borders of this country, we have to leave the European Union and hold

politicians to account at the ballot box. There is immigration out of

control in Wales? I'm positive about immigration. So it is a positive. In

some places it is a problem and in others it is perceived problem. But

there is a problem over the government's inability be to control

borders and red tape. To take back that control we need to vote Leave.

I spend a lot of my time trying to bring investment into Wales. We have

unemployment figures lower than Scotland and Northern Ireland. Every

investor that comes to Wales sees it as a base for the European market.

If we can't guarantee access to that market, they won't come. They will

go to Ireland, France, Germany. It is what Ford have said. It is what

Nissan have said. It jeopardises jobs for working people. Are we

going to listen to those who employ thousands across the UK or dismiss

their concerns? I want to make sure that we are confident country within

the EU working with other countries like ours rather than shouting on

the sidelines. Much better to be on the pitch playing rather than on the

sidelines. Being governed by European guidelines rather than

controlling them which is where Norway is now. We've seen the

strengthening of the pound off the back of polling at the weekend which

is more towards Remain. If there is economic downturn, it won't be the

wealthy parts of the UK, it will be Wales, who will suffer. Can we

afford to stay within the European Union? The Eurozone is one of the

weakest areas of growth in the world. There is only Antarctica with

a lower growth rate. James Dyson has come out for Leave. Many are saying

that there is nothing to be feared from Brexit. Do people want to hold

politicians to account, to safeguard our borders, make sure we don't move

into a federal state of Europe with in income tax powers and an army.

That is a fallacy. A lot of people see migrant workers cutting wages

and keeping a lid on wage increases. Where is it happening? We know that

there migrant workers in Wales working in jobs where it is

difficult to recruit local people. Abattoirs will tell you that. Miss,

Richard Branson, the English Premier League, they are all saying that

Brexit is bad for Britain. We have those employees in Wales. Brexit is

saying that their views are of no importance. I deal with those people

regularly. Tata, all this uncertainty doesn't help. We don't

want them to say when the tough got going, Britain run away. The notion

of EU aid in Wales. If we were to see a Brexit, Andrew, your own prime

ministers said in that chair and he said he could not guarantee any

shortfall in EU funding for deprived communities in Wales because part of

Brexit. We spend between 18 and 19 billion to be part of the EU and we

get back about 9 billion. There will be a surplus to. We have to have an

eye on where the money is disbursed. We are part of the United Kingdom.

It is imperative that government spreads it around. No guarantees. No

politician will give a guarantee. The people vote at the ballot box.

There is no guarantee of European money continuing. It will only be

until 2020. The common agricultural policy is now under 40% of the EU

budget. From a Welsh perspective, we lose 245 million straightaway. It is

money we cannot make up. It comes from Europe. Andrew is like Boris

Johnson and others, he cannot guarantee it. He cannot guarantee

that money how can you guarantee it? Yes, it is there. It is coming from

Brussels. The money is there. I can see it. Farmers can see it now. You

are saying that money will disappear into a money box in Whitehall. It

will be secured because everybody has to have full security. ?260

million of money coming into Wales to our farmers, there is no

guarantee that will come to Wales from Whitehall. Now, our farmers are

guaranteed that money. It will continue. The First Minister is the

leader of a government with the highest modulation of funding. If we

take control on Thursday, we will get that back. You did say there

will be a collapse in farming in the event of Brexit. Our farmers in

Wales get ?260 million per year. I've dealt with Whitehall

departments. They're not interested in farmers in Wales. You cut a hill

farming support. Our farmers rely on exporting to the European market. It

will increase the price of Welsh lamb in Europe. They want a free

trade agreement with New Zealand. That means more cheap New Zealand

lamb. The introduction of tariffs is obviously going to be difficult. We

have to leave it there. Andrew R T Davies and Carwyn Jones, thank you.

Nick, thank you. You can get more information

- bbc.co.uk/Walesnews - and follow the link

to the EU Referendum page. it's a big night for Wales

at the football championships. They take on Russia in a crunch game

in just over an hour's time. Not long to go now. Thousands of

fans have started to arrive here at the stadium in Toulouse. It promises

to be a night of high drama. Anything could happen. Wales could

progress to the last 16 but could also be heading home. Wales's group

is wide open. Wales could finish first, second, third or, maybe,

fourth. The fans have been considering the permutation for

days. It's complicated. A win for Wales, they are through. A draw is

likely to be enough. Here is the latest. A warm up for the fans.

Russia versus Wales, a friendly before the main event this evening.

A game of such significance, tonight's result for this Welshman

and his Russian wife might have implications for their relation

ship. It may deteriorate depending on the result. The fairest result

will be a draw. I think it will be 1-1. Then we can go home happy and

we will be speaking together and everything will be happy. This game

ended 3-3. That would suit this family. Other supporters want a

victory. We need to believe in ourselves. We were ponderous on the

ball against England. If we can push up we can beat them. Wales fans will

be discussing the permutations, what result means what in Group B? Beat

Russia and Wales will finish first or second and through to the

knockout stages. A draw will see them finish second or third.

Finished third and a place in the last 16 depends on other results.

Even if Wales lose to Russia, they can still make third if England beat

Slovakia. We could have done better with the ball against England and we

have been looking to put that right on the training pitch. The boys are

relaxed. We know what we need to do. We are looking forward to the game.

We don't have to say too much. The preparation is done. The party is

well underway. The fans wearing red in the pink city are here to enjoy

it. The security may have been upgraded from medium to high after

violence in Marseille but the atmosphere over night and through

the afternoon has been relaxed. Have few Russian guys were with us having

edging and a singalong, sharing pictures. We just been having

photographs with them. It's been brilliant. Very friendly. Fantastic.

It's been underwhelming for Russia, drawing with England and losing to

Slovakia. The centre-back pairing has a combine age of 70 and they are

missing key players. Having said that, Wales have never won against

tonight's opponents. The disappointment of missing out in a

place in the Euro 2004 finals in Wales was devastating. We were

devastated the night. We did really well in Moscow but we didn't play in

the home game. We failed in 2003. What an opportunity these players

have to get back into the last 16. I don't think they will

underestimated. If we can defend like we know we can. Their

centre-backs are 34 and 36. We need to stretch them and give a fantastic

performance which is what it will take tonight. A win to bury the

heartache of previous campaigns. Tonight is not a time to lose. It

was thought that Wales would have to play in their away top but after an

agreement with Uefa and Russia they will play in their home strip

instead. Read for Wales tonight. Much more to come

before seven o'clock The campaign warning of the dangers

of swimming in reservoirs and why men are being targeted. Today is the

start of the summer solstice. It didn't feel like it today but there

is better weather on the way. More in a free minutes.

That's how one Welsh MP described "the sense of loss and grief" felt

after the murder of his colleague, Jo Cox.

Mrs Cox died after being shot and stabbed in her Yorkshire

constituency and today Welsh MPs and peers were among those

who returned to Westminster to pay their tributes.

Our parliamentary correspondent, David Cornock, was there.

Today, MPs gathered in Parliament Square to remember

tears and flowers - but laughter too -

Jo Cox was Stephen Doughty's boss when they worked for Oxfam.

She once told me in a one-to-one meeting as my manager that she

didn't do touchy feely. That irony was too emotional and needed to get

on with it. The widely-worn

white roses - of Yorkshire - Nobody said no. I immediately said

yes. Jo Cox's first job after university

was working for Glenys Kinnock, Lady Kinnock said her death had left

so many feeling emptiness. We must overcome that. Jo Cox would

have said, don't moan, work, organise and campaign for a better

world. I hope that we would and we will.

Stephen Kinnock's best friend in Parliament.

He told MPs she'd have been outraged by a pro-Brexit poster featuring

refugees and the slogan Breaking Point.

He said there were lessons for politics from the way she died.

This is our time to honour the legacy of the proud Yorkshire lass

who dedicated her life to the common good and who was so cruelly taken

away from us in the prime of her life. Jo Cox, we love you. We salute

you. And we shall never forget you. A memorial service was held

in a Westminster church. The shared grief etched on the faces

of politicians struggling David - an emotional

day in parliament - after months of politicians

being very divided - Very emotional House of Commons

today. The way in which Jo Cox died has sparked a debate about the tone

of politics. MPs discussing how to disagree without being disagreeable.

It has also sparked a debate about MP's security. Stephen Kinnock for

one doesn't want high-security to stop him talking to his

constituents. He said that would let the bad guys win. Thank you.

Let me take you back to Toulouse - there's just over an hour to go

until Wales kick off their crunch match against Russia.

Within the last few minutes, the players made their way into the

stadium. I can show you some pictures of the coach making its way

through the streets. Dozens and dozens of Wales fans were chanting

as the bus made its way through the street. An impressive motorcade

escorted by police. Security is tight. An additional 600 police

officers have been drafted in on top of the 1300 security staff already

working. Wales made history in getting here and now they are

looking to write a new chapter in Welsh sporting history. The south of

France, the sun is shining. Will it last? Sue Charles has the forecast.

And it's looking good for Wales' last group game -

it should remain fine and dry in Toulouse tonight -

and relatively warm - temperatures staying

Today's the summer solstice - although back here in Wales it

didn't feel like it earlier - but after the heavy rain -

it should turn drier and clearer tonight.

That's because the front which brought today's

rain clears south eastwards - allowing a more settled spell

Tonight will stay dry - some clear intervals developing -

light winds - but still some cloud around -

holding up the temperatures in double figures.

Tomorrow - should stay largely dry - just the odd isolated shower

possible - but some decent sunny spells too - some cloud around -

especially through the afternoon - and with light SW winds -

feeling warm tomorrow - Highs of 17C in Pembs - 19 in Conwy.

Tomorrow night starts fine and dry but cloud thickening -

and warm southerly winds pushing up the odd shower, really feeling

Midweek we're caught between these two weather fronts -

high pressure trying to build - but low pressure and fronts either

side could bring some showers - as we drag in more humid

So a mostly dry day on Wednesday - a chance of a few showers developing

- but sunny spells too and feeling quite humid as SW winds

draw up that warmer air - temperatures back in the 20s

Thursday's looking mainly dry with sunny spells.

Maybe the odd shower - similar Friday -

with temperatures holding up in the high teens/low 20s.

I'll be back with a quick update at eight o'clock

and again with all the reaction to the game after

That's Wales Today thank you for watching from all of us
