The BBC learns Nazi regalia was found at the home of Tom Mair, | :00:08. | :00:14. | |
West Yorkshire Police say the attack was a targeted one and they are now | :00:15. | :00:20. | |
looking into possible links with the far right. | :00:21. | :00:24. | |
We are also aware of the inference within the media of the suspect | :00:25. | :00:27. | |
being linked to right-wing extremism, which again | :00:28. | :00:29. | |
Putting political differences aside, the Prime Minister and the Labour | :00:30. | :00:35. | |
leader visit Jo Cox's constituency to pay tribute. | :00:36. | :00:40. | |
Parliament has lost one of its most passionate | :00:41. | :00:42. | |
and brilliant campaigners, someone who epitomised the fact that | :00:43. | :00:45. | |
Campaigning for the referendum has been suspended and there has | :00:46. | :00:52. | |
been a vigil for Jo Cox at Westminster tonight. | :00:53. | :00:54. | |

West Yorkshire Police say they are investigating links | :01:50. | :01:51. | |
to right-wing extremism and the mental health of the man | :01:52. | :01:54. | |
suspected of killing the MP Jo Cox yesterday in Birstall. | :01:55. | :01:58. | |
The BBC understands police have found Nazi regalia, | :01:59. | :02:00. | |
including Nazi literature, in his home. | :02:01. | :02:03. | |
Tom Mair, who's 52 and from Birstall, is in police custody. | :02:04. | :02:07. | |
The police have also revealed a 77-year-old man intervened | :02:08. | :02:10. | |
"bravely", in their words, to help the MP during the attack. | :02:11. | :02:14. | |
He suffered a serious injury to his abdomen and | :02:15. | :02:16. | |
Daniel Sandford is in Birstall for us this evening. | :02:17. | :02:20. | |
Daniel, more details are now beginning to emerge | :02:21. | :02:22. | |
Yes, just over 30 hours into this investigation, the direction of the | :02:23. | :02:36. | |
police enquiry is now becoming clear. Detectives suspect they are | :02:37. | :02:39. | |
dealing with the political killing, with a far right ideology behind it, | :02:40. | :02:44. | |
and possible mental health problems in the background. But all they, | :02:45. | :02:48. | |
although they have only one suspect, no charges have been brought. | :02:49. | :02:54. | |
Bright, funny, straightforward, Jo Cox MP, a rising star of the new | :02:55. | :03:00. | |
generation of British politicians. Brutally killed in what police | :03:01. | :03:06. | |
called today a targeted attack, with an unlawfully held firearm. Whilst | :03:07. | :03:10. | |
en route to the library where she had a scheduled skull it during the | :03:11. | :03:13. | |
meeting, she was attacked and sustained serious injuries from both | :03:14. | :03:18. | |
a firearm and a knife. Despite assistance from passers-by, the | :03:19. | :03:20. | |
Ambulance Service and police officers who were quickly on the | :03:21. | :03:26. | |
scene, she sadly died of her injuries. During the course of the | :03:27. | :03:30. | |
incident, a 77-year-old man bravely intervened to assist Jo and in doing | :03:31. | :03:34. | |
so sustained a serious injury to his abdomen, and although he is now | :03:35. | :03:39. | |
stable he remains in hospital. And this is still the only suspect in | :03:40. | :03:43. | |
the murder, in custody, but not charged are known to his family | :03:44. | :03:47. | |
asked Tom Mair, to his neighbours as Tommy Mair. These the receipts | :03:48. | :03:52. | |
uncovered by an American civil rights group, which appear to show | :03:53. | :03:57. | |
that Thomas Mair had links with the National Alliance, the US neo-Nazi | :03:58. | :04:02. | |
group, one dated 1999 suggests he bought a book on explosives and the | :04:03. | :04:06. | |
improvised munitions handbook which includes instructions on how to make | :04:07. | :04:11. | |
a home-made gun. He also ordered a book given to Nazi party recruits in | :04:12. | :04:15. | |
Hitler's Germany and he subscribes to extreme white -- right wing | :04:16. | :04:19. | |
magazines for several years. But none of this paper Trail is recent. | :04:20. | :04:27. | |
At Tom Mair's house, detectives found not to regalia, books and | :04:28. | :04:30. | |
literature, possible far right extremism is now a priority line in | :04:31. | :04:35. | |
this enquiry. But his neighbours paint a completely different | :04:36. | :04:39. | |
picture, the quiet man, a keen gardener, who even taught English to | :04:40. | :04:43. | |
newly arrived immigrants. He was arrested yesterday and police say | :04:44. | :04:46. | |
they are investigating suggestions that he might have had mental health | :04:47. | :04:52. | |
problems full stop but although neighbours knew he had epilepsy they | :04:53. | :04:54. | |
were unaware of anything like depression or schizophrenia. I was a | :04:55. | :04:58. | |
nurse for 40 years and I'm sure I would have picked up on something. | :04:59. | :05:04. | |
There was never any inclination, I mean I know he was alone and that in | :05:05. | :05:08. | |
itself can be depressing, but there was never an indication that he was | :05:09. | :05:13. | |
mentally ill. Nobody that we have spoken to that new Tom Mair well had | :05:14. | :05:18. | |
any idea about his political views. The opinions he had he kept very | :05:19. | :05:24. | |
much to himself. And behind closed doors. His mother lives in a | :05:25. | :05:28. | |
bungalow in nearby Berkeley. She was too upset to talk to the media, but | :05:29. | :05:33. | |
her good friend and neighbour Rosemary Surman said he had been a | :05:34. | :05:36. | |
good son who helped with shopping and cleaning and his mum was | :05:37. | :05:41. | |
devastated by what had happened. The children that have been left behind | :05:42. | :05:45. | |
without a mum, we are both heartbroken and we are so sorry. We | :05:46. | :05:53. | |
can't understand why. I know it's never going to go away and we will | :05:54. | :05:58. | |
have to live with this each day of our lives. Because of the identity | :05:59. | :06:02. | |
of the murder victim and the possible far right motive, this is | :06:03. | :06:07. | |
being seen as potentially a political crime so West Yorkshire | :06:08. | :06:10. | |
Police detectives are being helped in this investigation by the | :06:11. | :06:15. | |
north-east counter-terrorism unit. Detectives recovered from the sea in | :06:16. | :06:20. | |
a large hunting or combat knife and a gun with a barrel which had been | :06:21. | :06:24. | |
deliberately shortened. Of course detectives only have a limited time | :06:25. | :06:28. | |
to hold their suspect so it's most likely he will be charged or | :06:29. | :06:31. | |
released either tonight or sometime over the weekend. | :06:32. | :06:35. | |
The Prime Minister and the Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn have visited | :06:36. | :06:38. | |
the West Yorkshire village of Birstall together | :06:39. | :06:39. | |
They laid flowers at a monument near where she was attacked. | :06:40. | :06:44. | |
David Cameron said her values of service, community and tolerance | :06:45. | :06:48. | |
should be the focus of everybody's work. | :06:49. | :06:50. | |
Jeremy Corbyn called her death an "act of hatred". | :06:51. | :06:53. | |
Parliament will be recalled on Monday for MPs to pay tributes | :06:54. | :06:56. | |
Our special correspondent Ed Thomas reports from Birstall. | :06:57. | :07:04. | |
In Birstall, a realisation of what has been taken. | :07:05. | :07:12. | |
With every hour, more flowers for Jo Cox. | :07:13. | :07:18. | |
And the words of the people she helped. | :07:19. | :07:32. | |
She were approachable, she were kind. | :07:33. | :07:39. | |
She must have said to her kids, you know, see you tonight, | :07:40. | :07:42. | |
Today, politics were put to one side. | :07:43. | :07:54. | |
David Cameron and Jeremy Corbyn, united in their respect | :07:55. | :08:00. | |
Parliament has lost one of its most passionate | :08:01. | :08:07. | |
Someone who epitomised the fact that politics is about serving others. | :08:08. | :08:13. | |
Jo was an exceptional, wonderful, very talented woman, | :08:14. | :08:17. | |
taken from us in her early 40s when she had so much to give. | :08:18. | :08:22. | |
You're trusting me to be your next Member of Parliament. | :08:23. | :08:31. | |
A sense of fun, and a speaker from the heart. | :08:32. | :08:35. | |
I'm proud that I was made in Yorkshire, and I'm proud | :08:36. | :08:38. | |
of the things that we make in Yorkshire. | :08:39. | :08:40. | |
And Britain should be proud of that, too. | :08:41. | :08:42. | |
I look forward to representing the great people of Batley and Spen | :08:43. | :08:45. | |
Birstall - a town, for now, patrolled by armed officers | :08:46. | :08:54. | |
as detectives speak to this man - Thomas Mair, arrested in this | :08:55. | :08:57. | |
Minutes earlier, Jo Cox had been shot and stabbed. | :08:58. | :09:06. | |
There were people stood all around, it were chaos, people screaming. | :09:07. | :09:13. | |
And he were just plunging this knife into her, continuously. | :09:14. | :09:19. | |
When you rang the police, what did you say? | :09:20. | :09:24. | |
Well, basically get here as quick as you can, | :09:25. | :09:29. | |
and bring the firearms team, ambulance, everything, just... | :09:30. | :09:33. | |
In just a few minutes, so many lives were changed here. | :09:34. | :09:47. | |
Here was somebody who believed in things... | :09:48. | :09:50. | |
Kath Pinnock was meant to see Jo at 2pm yesterday. | :09:51. | :09:54. | |
We had arranged to meet here, as we'd done the previous week. | :09:55. | :09:58. | |
It didn't matter whether you were a single parent who wanted support, | :09:59. | :10:06. | |
As somebody who stood up for what she believed in. | :10:07. | :10:17. | |
A wife, mother, and passionate campaigner. | :10:18. | :10:27. | |
The fact that Jo Cox was killed on her way to meet constituents has | :10:28. | :10:35. | |
put the issue of MPs' security under close scrutiny. | :10:36. | :10:38. | |
Some politicians have chosen to cancel their constituency | :10:39. | :10:40. | |
surgeries today, and the Labour MP Neil Coyle told the BBC that | :10:41. | :10:44. | |
MPs have been warned of copycat style attacks. | :10:45. | :10:47. | |
Our deputy political editor John Pienaar looks at how | :10:48. | :10:49. | |
yesterday's killing may affect the relationship between | :10:50. | :10:51. | |
Visible security at one MP's constituency office today. | :10:52. | :10:59. | |
People here, Hyde, near Manchester, weren't getting near their MP | :11:00. | :11:04. | |
I want to make sure my staff feel safe because that's | :11:05. | :11:09. | |
I also want to make sure that people coming to see me feel safe, | :11:10. | :11:13. | |
so we're going to have a little bit more of a security | :11:14. | :11:16. | |
I think people will understand the need for that. | :11:17. | :11:19. | |
The armed police, the cameras everywhere, Westminster's been | :11:20. | :11:21. | |
on guard against terrorism for years, but no-one can be 100% | :11:22. | :11:25. | |
safe when they're away from here and few expect to be, | :11:26. | :11:28. | |
including one MP, stabbed in his constituency six years ago. | :11:29. | :11:32. | |
The police did say to me, "would you like a metal arch, | :11:33. | :11:36. | |
a metal detector on the way into the surgery?" | :11:37. | :11:40. | |
But the problem with that would be that it would make | :11:41. | :11:42. | |
going to see your MP a pretty unpleasant experience. | :11:43. | :11:46. | |
In Parliament Square, proof that Jo Cox's death touched many, | :11:47. | :11:49. | |
Few MPs get much respect day-to-day, abuse and even fear of violence | :11:50. | :11:56. | |
Keeping a safe distance isn't an option. | :11:57. | :12:00. | |
We don't sit behind glass screens when we speak to our constituents. | :12:01. | :12:04. | |
We don't, except for a handful of ministers, we don't go | :12:05. | :12:08. | |
We walk around amongst our constituents because we've got to do | :12:09. | :12:13. | |
that in order to be able to listen to them, to hear | :12:14. | :12:16. | |
You can't legislate against terrible acts. | :12:17. | :12:23. | |
You can take all necessary precautions against them, | :12:24. | :12:26. | |
but every MP's not going to end up with their own security guards | :12:27. | :12:29. | |
Jo Cox will be remembered as a woman who gave politics a good name. | :12:30. | :12:36. | |
Others here do the same every day and maybe, just maybe, | :12:37. | :12:39. | |
politicians would feel at least a little safer if more | :12:40. | :12:42. | |
MPs have been told they're entitled to help making their homes safe, | :12:43. | :12:48. | |
but no amount of security can guarantee their safety in an open | :12:49. | :12:50. | |
democracy like Britain, where people live and mix freely | :12:51. | :12:54. | |
Cynicism about politics has become rife - in the media, | :12:55. | :12:59. | |
among the public and the brutal, personal campaigning we've seen | :13:00. | :13:03. | |
in this referendum is not likely to change that. | :13:04. | :13:11. | |
Two minutes' silence in Parliament Square tonight. | :13:12. | :13:14. | |
Will political debate become more respectful after this? | :13:15. | :13:17. | |
Yes, for a time, but will politics, and the view we take of politics, | :13:18. | :13:21. | |
rise to a new and higher level for good? | :13:22. | :13:24. | |
Let's talk to our political editor, Laura Kuenssberg, | :13:25. | :13:32. | |
MPs are clearly deeply shocked by yesterday's events. | :13:33. | :13:41. | |
They have lined up to pay tribute to Jo Cox and now the referendum | :13:42. | :13:47. | |
campaign has been suspended. That's right, just 36 hours ago were way -- | :13:48. | :13:53. | |
we were in the crescendo of a noisy, vicious, really blistering campaign | :13:54. | :13:58. | |
about our place in the world and now Parliament is being recalled, those | :13:59. | :14:01. | |
campaigns are on hold and there's been a total change in the political | :14:02. | :14:06. | |
mood. And you know, politics is always a tough business. That is not | :14:07. | :14:09. | |
going to change because of these awful events. But given what has | :14:10. | :14:13. | |
happened, given how party leaders have come together out of respect | :14:14. | :14:17. | |
for Jo Cox today, it's hard to like to imagine them returning | :14:18. | :14:22. | |
immediately to the kind of very confrontational, very personal | :14:23. | :14:24. | |
campaigning that we have seen in the last couple of weeks. So with just | :14:25. | :14:29. | |
three full days of campaigning to go now before we all make our decision, | :14:30. | :14:33. | |
you can imagine that the closing moments of the referendum campaigns | :14:34. | :14:40. | |
might be calmer in tone, if not kinder, but you know Fiona, in | :14:41. | :14:42. | |
politics it is not just the atmosphere that matters, in any | :14:43. | :14:48. | |
campaign it's the timing, the pace, and the momentum as well, and this | :14:49. | :14:51. | |
pause that has been brought about for the most awful of reasons, well, | :14:52. | :14:57. | |
that Paul's could matter as well. Laura Kuenssberg at Westminster, | :14:58. | :14:58. | |
thank you. Russian athletes won't be | :14:59. | :15:02. | |
able to compete at this summer's Olympics, | :15:03. | :15:04. | |
after the International Athletics Federation said it | :15:05. | :15:05. | |
will maintain its ban following widespread | :15:06. | :15:07. | |
doping allegations. The ban was imposed in November | :15:08. | :15:10. | |
after the World Anti-Doping Agency found evidence of state-sponsored | :15:11. | :15:13. | |
cheating. But some individual Russian | :15:14. | :15:15. | |
competitors could still take part in Rio if the International Olympic | :15:16. | :15:18. | |
Association makes Here's our sports | :15:19. | :15:21. | |
correspondent, Richard Conway. The Rio Olympic Games will begin | :15:22. | :15:28. | |
in just a few weeks' time, but any hope that Russian athletes | :15:29. | :15:32. | |
held of competing in Brazil Today, Lord Coe upheld that | :15:33. | :15:35. | |
suspension after Russia failed to comply with | :15:36. | :15:42. | |
the demands made of it. In theory, it rules Russian athletes | :15:43. | :15:46. | |
out of this summer's Olympics. Although good progress has been | :15:47. | :15:52. | |
made, the Iaaf Council was unanimous that RusAf had not met | :15:53. | :16:02. | |
the re-instatement conditions and that Russian athletes could not | :16:03. | :16:04. | |
credibly return to international competition without undermining | :16:05. | :16:07. | |
the confidence of their Last year, an independent commission | :16:08. | :16:09. | |
uncovered state-sponsored collusion throughout the sport | :16:10. | :16:23. | |
and this week a report, from the World Anti-Doping | :16:24. | :16:26. | |
Agency, confirmed that Many believed that was a critical | :16:27. | :16:28. | |
factor for today's vote, but Russia's President believes | :16:29. | :16:32. | |
the ban is unfair. TRANSLATION: The team cannot be held | :16:33. | :16:36. | |
responsible for offences committed by individual athletes and I think | :16:37. | :16:39. | |
this is absolutely natural Although this was a decision | :16:40. | :16:41. | |
by the entire Iaaf Council its president, Lord Coe, | :16:42. | :16:50. | |
needed a show of strength and that's because he's under | :16:51. | :16:52. | |
scrutiny over what he knew and when about the Russian | :16:53. | :16:55. | |
doping cover-up. BBC's Panorama alleged he received | :16:56. | :16:58. | |
an email which outlined allegations concerning Russia, | :16:59. | :17:01. | |
four months before the doping Lord Coe says he forwarded the email | :17:02. | :17:02. | |
to the Iaaf's Ethnics Committee without opening | :17:03. | :17:09. | |
the email attachment. It's also claimed he received advice | :17:10. | :17:14. | |
over his Iaaf election campaign from an official now | :17:15. | :17:19. | |
under criminal investigation. It is the very nature of a campaign | :17:20. | :17:22. | |
that advice is given, whether it is sought or not, | :17:23. | :17:25. | |
some of it is useful, Russian pole vaulter, | :17:26. | :17:28. | |
Yelena Isinbayeva, says she's now considering legal action, | :17:29. | :17:36. | |
but the Iaaf say that athletes that can prove they were outside | :17:37. | :17:40. | |
the Russian testing system and are clean may be able to compete | :17:41. | :17:42. | |
under a neutral flag. The International Olympic Committee | :17:43. | :17:47. | |
will also meet next week with some senior officials believed | :17:48. | :17:49. | |
to be against any form The Iraqi government is claiming | :17:50. | :17:51. | |
it's recaptured the city of Falluja The city is 30 miles | :17:52. | :18:18. | |
from the capital Baghdad and has been held by IS longer | :18:19. | :18:24. | |
than any other city in Iraq. The UN says up to 50,000 | :18:25. | :18:27. | |
civilians are trapped there. The battle to take the city has been | :18:28. | :18:29. | |
raging for nearly a month. Our defence correspondent, | :18:30. | :18:32. | |
Jonathan Beale, sent this report More than three weeks | :18:33. | :18:34. | |
since the assault on Fallujah began and so-called Islamic State | :18:35. | :18:39. | |
is now losing ground. The fighting's reached | :18:40. | :18:42. | |
the city itself. We joined the Iraqi army's quick | :18:43. | :18:45. | |
reaction force as they advanced. A tank has just moved forward | :18:46. | :18:47. | |
and just fired a shell. Islamic State positions are just | :18:48. | :18:56. | |
behind us and just They are moving forward very, | :18:57. | :18:58. | |
very slowly because this ground Their commander, General Abbas, | :18:59. | :19:04. | |

in danger here? Do you think you can | :19:36. | :19:43. | |
defeat Daesh in Fallujah? Certainly sure, 100%. | :19:44. | :19:51. | |
But it is a slow Fallujah was the first city in Iraq | :19:52. | :19:55. | |

Armageddon and the Iraqi security The enemy's strength is thought | :20:01. | :20:05. | |
to be in the hundreds, but the US says this drone footage | :20:06. | :20:24. | |
shows some have been throwing away their equipment | :20:25. | :20:27. | |
and trying to escape. What we're already seeing | :20:28. | :20:30. | |
is the enemy's morale We've got video of them | :20:31. | :20:32. | |
throwing their weapons down, I suspect there'll be a contingent | :20:33. | :20:36. | |
in there, some foreign fighters in there, they'll want to stay | :20:37. | :20:49. | |
and fight until it's over. The Iraqi government's already | :20:50. | :20:54. | |
claiming victory with their forces But there is still resistance | :20:55. | :20:56. | |

at the Nazi concentration camp, Auschwitz, has been sentenced | :21:28. | :21:35. | |
to five years in jail. A court in Germany found | :21:36. | :21:38. | |
Reinhold Hanning guilty of being an accessory to the murder | :21:39. | :21:41. | |
of at least 170,000 people. He said he knew what was | :21:42. | :21:45. | |
going on at the camp, Our correspondent, | :21:46. | :21:48. | |
Jenny Hill, reports. Reinhold Hanning ran a dairy | :21:49. | :21:53. | |
shop until he retired, but before that he was an SS | :21:54. | :22:02. | |
guard at Auschwitz. There's no evidence he killed | :22:03. | :22:06. | |
anyone, but the court ruled he was part of the Nazi | :22:07. | :22:09. | |
machine which did. More than a million | :22:10. | :22:13. | |
people were systemically Perhaps just four people | :22:14. | :22:15. | |

to five years in prison. And, for Lyon Schwarzbaum, | :22:22. | :22:31. | |
it's enough. Can you forgive Mr Hanning | :22:32. | :22:35. | |
for his part in what happened? We are both 95 years | :22:36. | :22:37. | |
old, and he should tell The truth is well documented | :22:38. | :22:45. | |
and the names of wartime Nazis are here - in files, | :22:46. | :22:55. | |
records, reports. Those who ordered the atrocities | :22:56. | :23:00. | |
are long dead, but Germany is now I think it's important | :23:01. | :23:08. | |
for the society in Germany and abroad to understand nowadays | :23:09. | :23:14. | |
what has happened in the concentration camps, | :23:15. | :23:17. | |
how it was organised and who was responsible, | :23:18. | :23:21. | |
not only the higher ranks, but also the lower ranks | :23:22. | :23:25. | |
were necessary in order This trial was about more | :23:26. | :23:27. | |
than establishing one man's guilt. In the words of the judge, | :23:28. | :23:36. | |
"it was something we can do to give the victims of the Holocaust | :23:37. | :23:39. | |
at least a semblance of justice", and it was an opportunity for this | :23:40. | :23:42. | |
country to re-examining it's darkest There are so few wartime Nazis | :23:43. | :23:45. | |
still alive and Reinhold Hanning It's possible he'll never | :23:46. | :23:54. | |
serve his time. This time tomorrow, Tim Peake | :23:55. | :23:58. | |
will have landed back on earth. During his six months on board | :23:59. | :24:08. | |
the International Space Station, he conducted more than 250 | :24:09. | :24:12. | |
experiments, carried out a spacewalk But as our science editor, | :24:13. | :24:14. | |

is to return home safely. A journey one former astronaut | :24:19. | :24:22. | |

people back from space to this area For decades now, the process | :24:55. | :25:01. | |
has been very reliable, It begins with a final | :25:02. | :25:07. | |
view of earth. Three astronauts, bunched | :25:08. | :25:13. | |
inside a Soyuz capsule. The craft hurtles down | :25:14. | :25:17. | |
through the atmosphere, The heat shield reaches 1600 degrees | :25:18. | :25:20. | |
and Britain's first astronaut, Helen Sharman, remembers | :25:21. | :25:32. | |
the first feeling of weight. My chest was pushing | :25:33. | :25:34. | |
down on top of my lungs, so actually breathing became | :25:35. | :25:36. | |
a little bit more arduous. You really had to, sort of, | :25:37. | :25:39. | |
force yourself to breathe in, Tim won't have felt weight for six | :25:40. | :25:42. | |
months, you know. Suddenly, he's going to start | :25:43. | :25:50. | |
to feel weights, he'll feel like he's being pushed | :25:51. | :25:52. | |
into his seat. He can actually feel his back | :25:53. | :25:54. | |
against the back of his No-one knows exactly | :25:55. | :25:57. | |

Thursday's referendum suspended - until Sunday at least - | :26:38. | :26:41. | |
David Cameron, visiting the Yorkshire town today, | :26:42. | :26:43. | |
issued a plea for tolerance Many MPs have been expressing | :26:44. | :26:45. | |
concern about the level and tone Our home editor, Mark Easton, | :26:46. | :26:50. | |
has this assessment It wasn't only an attack on a much | :26:51. | :26:53. | |
respected MP, it was an attack That was the message | :26:54. | :27:00. | |
from the political leaders, standing shoulder to shoulder | :27:01. | :27:08. | |
in the Yorkshire village "We must drive hatred, | :27:09. | :27:10. | |
division and intolerance out of our politics", | :27:11. | :27:15. | |
the Prime Minister said. If we truly want to honour Jo, | :27:16. | :27:23. | |
then what we should do is recognise that her values - | :27:24. | :27:26. | |
service, community, tolerance - the values she lived by and worked | :27:27. | :27:28. | |
by, those are the values that we need to redouble | :27:29. | :27:31. | |
in our national life in the months We don't know what motivated | :27:32. | :27:34. | |
Jo Cox's killer, but her brutal death has focused attention | :27:35. | :27:40. | |
on the way our politics is conducted, how politicians behave | :27:41. | :27:43. | |
and how voters view them, particularly amid the passion of | :27:44. | :27:47. | |
the current EU referendum campaign. I think, as a tribute to Jo, | :27:48. | :27:53. | |
to soften the language, to be less aggressive, but, | :27:54. | :27:56. | |
for all of us, I think, you know, going up to next | :27:57. | :28:00. | |
Thursday's referendum, The Prime Minister has long argued | :28:01. | :28:03. | |
the right way to counter the threat from extremism is to focus | :28:04. | :28:09. | |
on fundamental British values. At the local grammar school, | :28:10. | :28:14. | |
which Jo Cox attended, these are ideas now | :28:15. | :28:17. | |
embedded in the curriculum. Schools across England, | :28:18. | :28:21. | |
including this one, must now promote respect | :28:22. | :28:24. | |
for public institutions, the rule of law, democracy | :28:25. | :28:27. | |
and other cultures. At this morning's assembly, | :28:28. | :28:31. | |
the Head Teacher spoke of the inspiration she's been | :28:32. | :28:38. | |
to the school. She was clearly driven | :28:39. | :28:40. | |
to do what's right. Stand up for those who weren't | :28:41. | :28:42. | |
in the best position To be a voice for the powerless | :28:43. | :28:45. | |
and to serve the community I met pupils who knew Jo and have | :28:46. | :28:50. | |
been reflecting on the She showed what a politician should | :28:51. | :28:58. | |
be like, in my opinion. There's too many people accusing | :28:59. | :29:03. | |
other people of lying, people exaggerating or, in some | :29:04. | :29:07. | |
cases, fabricating statistics. I think our politicians need | :29:08. | :29:10. | |
to realise that we We want to look at the issues | :29:11. | :29:12. | |
and that's how you'll engage people. Trust in politicians | :29:13. | :29:21. | |
is as low as it's ever been, the so-called "establishment" | :29:22. | :29:23. | |
in the Westminster bubble But in paying tribute to Jo Cox | :29:24. | :29:26. | |
today, our political leaders are also paying respect | :29:27. | :29:32. | |
to the British values she embodied. Now, on BBC One, its time | :29:33. | :29:34. | |
