The police say they are investigating links to right-wing

extremism and the mental health of the man suspected

:00:00.:00:07.

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

Putting political differences aside, the Prime Minister and the Labour

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

been a vigil for Jo Cox at Westminster tonight.

:01:28.:01:49.

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

in just a few weeks' time, but any hope that Russian athletes

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.

on the way our politics is conducted, how politicians behave

the right way to counter the threat from extremism is to focus

on fundamental British values. At the local grammar school,

which Jo Cox attended, these are ideas now
