:02:15. > :02:22.Our North America editor, Jon Sopel, is in Orlando with the latest.
:02:23. > :02:35.A new name for an inglorious list. First of all you had Virginia Tech
:02:36. > :02:42.then Sandy Hook elementary school, the Charleston shootings, the list
:02:43. > :02:46.goes on and on. Now this one. The nightclub is 100 yards down the road
:02:47. > :02:48.behind me and it is the worst of them all in terms of fatalities. 50
:02:49. > :02:58.people killed on a night out. Gunshots at the Pulse nightclub in
:02:59. > :03:02.Orlando. It is too in the morning. Inside, a lone gunman with an
:03:03. > :03:09.assault rifle and revolver is systematically shooting at the
:03:10. > :03:13.partygoers. Oh, my God! He takes hostages and three hours elapse
:03:14. > :03:20.before a police SWAT team forces its way in and kills him. By then, 50
:03:21. > :03:25.are dead. No one knew what was going on until they saw people on the
:03:26. > :03:30.ground screaming and heard the commotion. One mother received a
:03:31. > :03:34.text from her son trapped inside saying he thought he was going to
:03:35. > :03:40.die. Another struggles to find out if her son is still alive. No one
:03:41. > :03:44.can town me where my son is, if he has been shot or is dead. No one
:03:45. > :03:52.knows. They tummy there are fatalities. The gunman, Omar Mateen,
:03:53. > :03:58.is of Afghan descent and had beyond FBI radar as a possible sympathiser.
:03:59. > :04:04.There was a fear of booby traps at the scene. It had been a deeply
:04:05. > :04:09.traumatic night. To look into the eyes of officers told the whole
:04:10. > :04:14.story. They were all shaken by this incident, by what they saw inside
:04:15. > :04:20.the club. They did an unbelievable job with courageous efforts in
:04:21. > :04:25.rescuing many, many hostages. In Washington, Barack Obama is
:04:26. > :04:33.reworking a script he has delivered all too often during his presidency.
:04:34. > :04:39.We know enough to say this was an act of terror and an act of hate. As
:04:40. > :04:45.Americans, we are united in grief, in outrage, in resolve to defend our
:04:46. > :04:48.people. Then, on to be issued at the most powerful man in the world has
:04:49. > :04:54.been able to make simply no progress on. This massacre is a further
:04:55. > :04:59.reminder of how easy it is full someone to get their hands on a
:05:00. > :05:04.weapon that shoots people in a school or a house of worship, or a
:05:05. > :05:10.movie theatre, or in a nightclub. And we have to decide if that is the
:05:11. > :05:14.kind of country we want to be. The motive was clear. Omar Mateen rang
:05:15. > :05:19.police from inside the nightclub and said he had been inspired by
:05:20. > :05:23.so-called Islamic State. Another home-grown jihadists willing to kill
:05:24. > :05:27.at random, in a society where getting hold of the most powerful
:05:28. > :05:31.and lethal weaponry is as easy as easy can be.
:05:32. > :05:34.As we heard, the so-called Islamic State group has said one
:05:35. > :05:36.of its "fighters" was responsible for the atrocity.
:05:37. > :05:38.Earlier, Omar Mateen's father claimed the attack had nothing
:05:39. > :05:41.But the FBI has acknowledged that it first became aware
:05:42. > :05:43.of Mateen in 2013, following reports that he'd
:05:44. > :05:47.talked about possible links with terror groups.
:05:48. > :05:55.Our security correspondent Gordon Corera has the latest.
:05:56. > :06:01.Omar Mateen seen here in pictures from his own social media account.
:06:02. > :06:08.His family was from Afghanistan that he was born in New York. Today his
:06:09. > :06:14.house, an hour and a half from Orlando, was being searched. Those
:06:15. > :06:17.who knew him expressed their shock. Outgoing, a regular young kid. He
:06:18. > :06:25.was younger than me. It is crazy. I do not know. Omar was cool, calm and
:06:26. > :06:31.collected. I never saw him in a fist fight. What led Omar Mateen to
:06:32. > :06:38.attack a gay club? His father said he was not motivated by religion but
:06:39. > :06:42.was angry at seeing a gay couple embracing in front of his family. In
:06:43. > :06:45.the last few hours, so-called Islamic State issued this message
:06:46. > :06:51.describing him as one of their fighters. It is not the from this
:06:52. > :06:57.whether they had direct contact with him or inspired him to act and are
:06:58. > :07:01.now claiming credit. -- not clear. The FBI had said he had been
:07:02. > :07:06.investigated and cleared twice, once for possible links to a suicide
:07:07. > :07:11.bomber and once for concerned at work. The FBI first became aware of
:07:12. > :07:16.Mateen in 2013 when he made inflammatory comments to co-workers,
:07:17. > :07:21.alleging possible terrorist ties will stop the FBI investigated the
:07:22. > :07:25.matter could including interviews with witnesses, physical
:07:26. > :07:30.surveillance and records checks. Bombs targeting the Boston Marathon
:07:31. > :07:34.in 2013 make clear the threat of home-grown terrorism in America was
:07:35. > :07:39.increasing. Killings in San Bernardino last year more closely
:07:40. > :07:44.resemble events in Orlando. Then a married couple pledged allegiance to
:07:45. > :07:50.ISO 40 a gun attack in their workplace. The FBI will now be
:07:51. > :07:56.scouring every detail of Omar Mateen's life. As the FBI tries to
:07:57. > :07:57.understand what mix of hatred and ideology drove him, they'll be
:07:58. > :08:02.fearful of what more is to come. In a moment, the latest
:08:03. > :08:05.from the scene with Jon Sopel. But first to Nick Bryant
:08:06. > :08:12.at the White House. We're entering a crucial phase in
:08:13. > :08:16.the presidential campaign. Just wondering what you think might be
:08:17. > :08:23.the impact of these events on that campaign. Within hours of the
:08:24. > :08:26.Orlando massacre, it was being politicised, but front and centre in
:08:27. > :08:31.the battle for the White House. Donald Trump went on to Twitter and
:08:32. > :08:37.thanked people for congratulating him about being right about radical
:08:38. > :08:40.Islam, as he put it. He said he did not want congratulations, he wanted
:08:41. > :08:43.toughness and vigilance. The last few minutes he has released a
:08:44. > :08:47.statement, calling on President Obama to resign and Hillary Clinton
:08:48. > :08:52.to drop out of the race because they will refuse to use the term radical
:08:53. > :08:59.Islam. President Obama has not used it because he thinks it implies that
:09:00. > :09:04.America is at war with a religion. Hillary Clinton has announced she is
:09:05. > :09:08.postponing what would be her first joint appearance with President
:09:09. > :09:12.Obama later in the week. Donald Trump clearly believes that Orlando
:09:13. > :09:17.will help him, as did Paris, as did San Bernardino. There are many
:09:18. > :09:19.people who will think that trying to score political points on a day like
:09:20. > :09:29.this is gross insensitivity. Lets join John in Orlando. In a
:09:30. > :09:33.statement, he said straightaway, he raised the issue of gun control
:09:34. > :09:40.immediately. Does that mean this could see another attempt in that
:09:41. > :09:44.area? You know, it is not even 12 hours since the SWAT team is kind of
:09:45. > :09:49.managed to force their way into that nightclub and rescue the few
:09:50. > :09:53.hostages that had survived. Already, as Nick was describing, we are in a
:09:54. > :09:59.political dogfight and all those kind of questions are coming up. Gun
:10:00. > :10:02.control, hate crimes, and what to do about Islamic extremists that are
:10:03. > :10:07.home-grown. I'm sure Barrick Bama would love to make progress for the
:10:08. > :10:14.end of his presidency but people are deeply entrenched in this country on
:10:15. > :10:18.the question of gun rights. Likewise on Islamic extremism and what is the
:10:19. > :10:20.right approach. I think what will happen is it will reinforce the
:10:21. > :10:28.views of those people who are already held -- who have already
:10:29. > :10:31.held deep convictions on these matters.
:10:32. > :10:34.A vote to leave the European Union could bring more cuts
:10:35. > :10:35.in public spending and affect the state pension.
:10:36. > :10:37.That's the latest warning from David Cameron,
:10:38. > :10:40.who said the British economy would experience a "lost decade"
:10:41. > :10:43.The Prime Minister said it was his duty to spell out
:10:44. > :10:46.the risks but Vote Leave said it was taking scaremongering
:10:47. > :10:55.to new levels, as John Pienaar reports.
:10:56. > :11:04.Cue camera five, the Prime Minister. Today ) Gary warning of the date may
:11:05. > :11:10.be the scariest so far. -- today's scary warning. You could lose out on
:11:11. > :11:14.your state pension. We could meet that by putting up taxes on
:11:15. > :11:19.hard-working people or by going back to borrowing more and putting our
:11:20. > :11:23.economy at risk. Or it could be cut. Cuts do things like pensions, or
:11:24. > :11:31.health, or other things. We do not have to vote for that and risk it.
:11:32. > :11:34.Yes, he did say pensions. How old are you? If you are as old as him,
:11:35. > :11:39.you will have found a big increase in your old age pension. Pensioners
:11:40. > :11:44.rights have been revered for years. In the latest escalation of threats
:11:45. > :11:47.and promises, the state pension protection has been dragged into
:11:48. > :11:54.doubt. It is called the triple lock. It always goes up with earnings,
:11:55. > :11:57.inflation by 2.5%. Benefits like free bus passes are protected. The
:11:58. > :12:03.Prime Minister has said in the next Parliament all of that could be
:12:04. > :12:06.threatened. It came as news to ministers in the capital to leave
:12:07. > :12:11.camp you would expect to be part of a policy statement like that. One I
:12:12. > :12:19.spoke to earlier said they did not like the surprise. The levels of
:12:20. > :12:26.fear had been amplified. Effectively, the Prime Minister is
:12:27. > :12:30.undermining our own manifesto promise on pensions. Another leader
:12:31. > :12:36.'s message, if Britain wants out, do not worry if the pound wobbles. Even
:12:37. > :12:40.if sterling were to fall a few percentage points after Brexit, so
:12:41. > :12:45.what? We have a floating currency and it will be good for exports. The
:12:46. > :12:50.sharpest warning today were streamed up in Downing Street. Statistics can
:12:51. > :12:54.seem a moat to everyday life. The talk of the NHS budget losing
:12:55. > :12:59.protection can seem general. The idea that pensioners could see state
:13:00. > :13:05.pensions pegged back is personal. If it sounded worrying to millions of
:13:06. > :13:09.older voters, it is meant to. Today, the Prime Minister took the debate
:13:10. > :13:11.and turned it into a dark choice for voters in what is becoming a bitter
:13:12. > :13:20.and tense campaign. One of the most prominent Leave
:13:21. > :13:22.campaigners, Michael Gove, the Justice Secretary,
:13:23. > :13:24.has told the BBC he believes ministers are actively working
:13:25. > :13:27.towards Turkey joining the EU, despite David Cameron's repeated
:13:28. > :13:29.assertions that Turkey won't be Mr Gove, whose father worked
:13:30. > :13:32.as a fisherman in Aberdeen, says his family has direct
:13:33. > :13:34.experience of EU policy and that's one of the reasons
:13:35. > :13:37.he's campiagning to Leave. Laura Kuenssberg went
:13:38. > :13:41.to Aberdeen to meet them. It is amazing to think
:13:42. > :13:43.it is 100 years ago. Growing up in the 70s,
:13:44. > :13:52.and Aberdonian schoolboy saw his dad's fish merchant
:13:53. > :13:54.business go to the wall. Now he is the Lord Chancellor
:13:55. > :14:02.and Ernie and Christine Gove are The family blamed the EU then
:14:03. > :14:06.and they blame it now. It just ruined the Scottish fishing
:14:07. > :14:09.industry because it just went I saw the pride my father
:14:10. > :14:12.and grandfather had in their Obviously it was very
:14:13. > :14:15.difficult to cope with seeing At the time I did not know
:14:16. > :14:22.what I would be doing I remember when I was at university,
:14:23. > :14:29.in the mid-80s, when there were debates about Europe,
:14:30. > :14:32.I remember feeling that some of the debates weren't rooted in real
:14:33. > :14:35.people's experiences. There was a lot of airy
:14:36. > :14:44.fairy the rising. As we talk this
:14:45. > :14:48.afternoon, ten days away from the vote, you cannot tell
:14:49. > :14:51.voters how our economy works. You cannot tell voters
:14:52. > :14:58.how we would continue to trade
:14:59. > :15:00.with the rest of the EU. I am not suggesting that Britain
:15:01. > :15:04.boldly goes where no man has I am suggesting that Britain
:15:05. > :15:07.becomes an independent, Lack of details being
:15:08. > :15:10.roundly and repeatedly attacked by the Prime Minister and
:15:11. > :15:12.the Chancellor, even accusing him and fellow outers of wilfully
:15:13. > :15:14.misleading the public. The Prime Minister started off
:15:15. > :15:30.giving you the fist of -- the choice to
:15:31. > :15:31.campaign against him. He said he wanted everything
:15:32. > :15:33.to be respectful. Now, he and others are
:15:34. > :15:35.going around saying, You and Boris Johnson
:15:36. > :15:38.aren't telling the truth. It has got a bit out
:15:39. > :15:40.of hand, hasn't it? You don't mind the Prime Minister
:15:41. > :15:45.calling you a liar? I am not a commentator,
:15:46. > :15:48.I am a participant in this. I cannot offer, and I will not
:15:49. > :15:50.offer, a running commentary on what any
:15:51. > :15:52.individual has said. I want him to stay as Prime
:15:53. > :15:58.Minister until 2020. But he will attack David Cameron's
:15:59. > :16:01.insistence that Turkey is not on its A leaked memo today,
:16:02. > :16:04.he says, adds to the evidence. I understand why there are some
:16:05. > :16:07.people who say that Turkey won't join the European Union any
:16:08. > :16:10.time soon but the evidence is that the British government
:16:11. > :16:12.and the European Union are actively working towards Turkey joining
