Impassioned pleas from both sides, as the EU referendum campaign

:00:08.:00:10.

resumes, with just days to go before the crucial vote.

:00:11.:00:14.

David Cameron faces a public grilling on television,

:00:15.:00:18.

invoking the spirit of Churchill, urging voters not to give up

:00:19.:00:21.

I don't think Britain at the end is a quitter.

:00:22.:00:28.

But the Vote Leave Campaign says Britain now has

:00:29.:00:38.

a golden opportunity, to regain its sovereignty.

:00:39.:00:40.

Vote Leave and protect our great democracy.

:00:41.:00:51.

Tributes at church services today, for the MP Jo Cox, who died

:00:52.:00:53.

after being attacked in her West Yorkshire constituency.

:00:54.:00:57.

A year on, we join one British survivor of the terror attacks

:00:58.:01:01.

in Tunisia, as he goes on a 'journey of healing' to the scene

:01:02.:01:03.

Andy Murray wins a record fifth title at Queen's Club, in London.

:01:04.:01:36.

David Cameron has urged voters to "stay and fight"

:01:37.:01:41.

within the European Union, warning that quitting

:01:42.:01:46.

would have "a huge effect on our lives and opportunities".

:01:47.:01:49.

The Prime Minister's plea on the BBC's Question Time this

:01:50.:01:51.

evening, came as the referendum campaign resumed, following

:01:52.:01:54.

a suspension in the wake of the killing of the Labour MP,

:01:55.:01:55.

Mr Cameron was questioned repeatedly by the audience about immigration,

:01:56.:01:59.

admitting that controlling the numbers coming in was

:02:00.:02:01.

Our Deputy Political Editor John Pienaar reports.

:02:02.:02:09.

He is back. The respectful pores over. The campaign was halted by a

:02:10.:02:17.

tragic death but now the message was charged with emotion, ready for the

:02:18.:02:21.

live audience tonight. His first words were respect the Jo Cox, but

:02:22.:02:29.

respect and politics with barely a breath between them. Two children

:02:30.:02:33.

have lost that mother and a loving husband has lost his wife. My heart

:02:34.:02:37.

breaks when I think about them and what they are going through. The

:02:38.:02:40.

most important thing for politicians is to remember what she was about,

:02:41.:02:47.

service, community and tolerance. Wherever we see intolerance, hatred

:02:48.:02:51.

and division we should drive it out of our communities and public life.

:02:52.:02:56.

So the tribute was also a call to vote Remain and there wasn't much

:02:57.:03:01.

respect for what some saw as scare stories. Do you not think you are

:03:02.:03:05.

scaremongering rather than portraying the facts? I was simply

:03:06.:03:12.

saying, I think one of the strongest arguments for remaining in the

:03:13.:03:14.

European Union is we are stronger together. He talked economic risk,

:03:15.:03:20.

members of the audience talked about migration. You are not doing

:03:21.:03:23.

anything to counterbalance the immigration coming into these

:03:24.:03:29.

services. The questions kept coming. Europeans come here because they see

:03:30.:03:33.

the problem at home. And the target of migration below 100,000 a year is

:03:34.:03:38.

just an ambition. I believe net migration on that scale is the right

:03:39.:03:43.

ambition but the country. Is it your target because a lot of people say

:03:44.:03:48.

your failure to hit the target has exacerbated the argument about

:03:49.:03:52.

immigration. There are good ways of controlling immigration, and the

:03:53.:03:56.

welfare changes are good ways. There are bad ways of controlling

:03:57.:03:58.

immigration that would be leaving the single market and damaging the

:03:59.:04:02.

economy. In a moment of drama, about his place in history, was he an EU

:04:03.:04:10.

appeaser? Are you a 21st-century Neville Chamberlain waving a piece

:04:11.:04:13.

of paper in the air, saying to the public, I have this promise where

:04:14.:04:19.

dictatorship in Europe can overrule it. No, a famous warrior. At my

:04:20.:04:26.

office I sit two yards away from the Cabinet room where Winston Churchill

:04:27.:04:29.

decided in May 1940 to fight on against Hitler. The best and

:04:30.:04:34.

greatest decision anyone has made in our country. He didn't quit on

:04:35.:04:38.

Europe, democracy and European freedom. We want to fight for those

:04:39.:04:42.

things to day. We cannot fight if you are not in the room. That

:04:43.:04:49.

aggression was turned on the Leave side. Turkey will join the EU. Not

:04:50.:04:55.

true. There will be a European army with Britain in it. Not true. We

:04:56.:05:01.

give 350 million a week to Brussels. Not true. If we vote to leave the

:05:02.:05:06.

EU, but don't do it on the basis of three things that are completely

:05:07.:05:10.

untrue. David Cameron is gathering everything on Britain choosing to

:05:11.:05:15.

remain to fear of economic risk. If voters one outcome and he's

:05:16.:05:18.

determined to stay on, but senior colleagues are commenced it will be

:05:19.:05:20.

time to say goodbye. Well immigration featured heavily

:05:21.:05:26.

during campaigning today, and there were signs of a difference

:05:27.:05:29.

in tone, within the Leave camp. Boris Johnson said he was in favour

:05:30.:05:32.

of an amnesty for illegal immigrants, who'd been in the UK

:05:33.:05:34.

for more than 12 years, while Nigel Farage defended

:05:35.:05:37.

a controversial Ukip poster unveiled last week,

:05:38.:05:41.

showing a queue of migrants Here's our Political

huge sums of money. As this bitterly-fought referendum

:06:11.:06:15.

enters its final days, immigration has again

dominated the debate. But from the Leave campaign,

:06:17.:06:22.

a change of tone. I am the proud descendant

of Turkish immigrants. Let me stun you perhaps by saying

:06:25.:06:31.

I will go further, I'm not only pro-immigration,

:06:32.:06:34.

I am pro-immigrants and I am in favour of an amnesty for illegal

straining not to sound devisive or inflammatory on the issue

for leaving the EU. In part, because of this -

:06:52.:06:54.

a poster unveiled by Ukip last week showing migrants walking

:06:55.:06:57.

to a refugee camp in Slovenia. It has drawn criticism from

:06:58.:07:01.

the official Vote Leave campaign. I am pro-migration but I believe

:07:02.:07:05.

the way in which we secure public support for the continued benefits

:07:06.:07:09.

that migration brings, and the way we secure public support

:07:10.:07:13.

for helping refugees in need is if people feel they can control

:07:14.:07:15.

the numbers overall coming here. This morning, Ukip's leader stood

:07:16.:07:20.

by his poster but said the outcome of the referendum had changed

:07:21.:07:23.

because of the death I wish an innocent member

:07:24.:07:26.

of Parliament had not been I think we all wish

:07:27.:07:31.

that, of course we do. Frankly, had that not happened,

:07:32.:07:37.

I don't think we would have had Today, Labour's leader defended EU

migration and said pressure on infrastructure and services

:07:41.:07:46.

was a failure of government. He was asked if there could be

:07:47.:07:49.

an upper limit to migration numbers I don't think you can have one

:07:50.:07:51.

while you have the free I think the free movement of labour

:07:52.:07:56.

means you have to balance the economy so you have do improve

:07:57.:08:01.

living standards and conditions. The Chancellor George Osborne

:08:02.:08:06.

said legitimate concerns about immigration were being felt

:08:07.:08:08.

in every Western country, but this referendum had to be

:08:09.:08:11.

about the economy. Rich, international investors

:08:12.:08:13.

are taking their money out They are delaying investment,

:08:14.:08:17.

the stock market has gone down. The British people can't

:08:18.:08:22.

take their money out of Britain, they will be left with their money

:08:23.:08:26.

and their livelihoods in Britain on Friday,

:08:27.:08:29.

next week if we vote to leave and they will be the people

:08:30.:08:31.

paying the price. As this Vote Leave rally shows,

:08:32.:08:34.

this campaign will be hard Because there's one point both sides

:08:35.:08:36.

agree this week's vote is a massive choice,

:08:37.:08:43.

an irreversible decision about the future

:08:44.:08:47.

direction of our country. After a sombre three-day pause,

:08:48.:08:50.

this referendum campaign is back at full pelt and soon,

:08:51.:08:53.

you will have your say. Our Political Editor,

:08:54.:09:00.

Laura Kuenssberg is with me. Four days to go before the public

:09:01.:09:08.

decides, what is your reading of whether campaigns are as weak enter

:09:09.:09:14.

the final week? We saw David Cameron fighting for this tonight. We are in

:09:15.:09:18.

the last ditch efforts on both sides. The Prime Minister is also

:09:19.:09:21.

fighting for his career. But this decision is bigger than any eligible

:09:22.:09:26.

party, it will have a huge influence on all futures, not this year, not

:09:27.:09:32.

just in five years, but decades to come. Whatever we decide will have a

:09:33.:09:35.

profound impact around the continent and around the rest of the European

:09:36.:09:40.

Union. A few interesting things, nobody expected a few months ago at

:09:41.:09:44.

the beginning, it would feel so close in these closing days. Both of

:09:45.:09:49.

the main parties have found it hard to grapple with this question. I

:09:50.:09:53.

think many big political players have been surprised either fact it

:09:54.:09:58.

has been so difficult to get voters to listen to what they are saying.

:09:59.:10:02.

The possibility we might vote to leave has crept up on the political

:10:03.:10:07.

class. What ever the result, it raises questions for what politics

:10:08.:10:11.

will look like in the months and years after the vote. Yes, the main

:10:12.:10:15.

clashes between the politicians have been about the economy and

:10:16.:10:19.

immigration, but this is something bigger. It is about our identity and

:10:20.:10:23.

whether we are ready to tear up the settlement we have had with our

:10:24.:10:27.

continental neighbours for decades, and try to make something new. The

:10:28.:10:31.

night, nobody knows what is going to happen. The result is hugely unclear

:10:32.:10:36.

and so much is still in play. Thank you.

:10:37.:10:41.

Moving tributes have been paid to the MP Jo Cox at church services

:10:42.:10:44.

in Birstall in West Yorkshire, where she was shot and

:10:45.:10:46.

In one sermon she was described as a "21st-century good

:10:47.:10:52.

samaritan" and "passionate advocate for the poor".

:10:53.:10:54.

The man accused of her murder, Thomas Mair, will appear

:10:55.:10:56.

It's four days since this town lost its MP, a husband lost his wife

:10:57.:11:05.

and two young children lost their mother.

:11:06.:11:10.

A place to reflect on Jo Cox's life and the values she lived for.

:11:11.:11:17.

She represented love and peace all round.

:11:18.:11:20.

It doesn't matter what colour you are, what creed

:11:21.:11:25.

I just hope it brings the community together and what she fought for,

:11:26.:11:30.

And today Jo Cox was remembered at St Peter's Anglican Church

:11:31.:11:39.

Her humanity was powerful and compelling.

:11:40.:11:50.

And we would do well to recognise her as an amazing example a 21st

:11:51.:11:55.

And today this message from Brendon Cox, Jo's husband.

:11:56.:12:04.

Already a memorial fund in Jo's name has raised more than ?600,000.

:12:05.:12:24.

What's striking here is not just the number of flowers that have

:12:25.:12:29.

been brought down here, it's the messages that

:12:30.:12:33.

They are personal, they are genuine and they tell the story of how

:12:34.:12:38.

Just someone who represented everyone and someone

:12:39.:12:46.

who could represent what Britain should be about and it

:12:47.:12:49.

And tomorrow Parliament will be recalled.

:12:50.:12:56.

MPs from all sides will come together to speak of

:12:57.:12:59.

Three 12-year-old girls being treated in hospital

:13:00.:13:13.

after taking ecstasy pills in Salford, are said

:13:14.:13:16.

A man and a woman have been arrested on suspicion of being in possession

:13:17.:13:23.

It's almost a year since a gunman opened fire on a beach in Tunisia

:13:24.:13:29.

killing 38 tourists, 30 of whom were from the UK.

:13:30.:13:32.

It was the greatest loss of British life in a terror attack,

:13:33.:13:34.

The so-called Islamic State claimed responsibility for the assault

:13:35.:13:40.

One survivor, Colin Bidwell from Sussex, wanted to return

:13:41.:13:45.

to Tunisia, and the BBC took him back, for what he called

:13:46.:13:48.

Our correspondent Orla Guerin has this special report.

:13:49.:13:54.

Psyching himself up to face the past and all its trauma.

:13:55.:14:06.

Colin Bidwell returns to the Imperial Marhaba Hotel.

:14:07.:14:10.

A difficult journey that he wanted to make.

:14:11.:14:29.

And here, the gunman stalking the shore where Colin and his wife

:14:30.:14:39.

He leads me to the beach which became a killing ground.

:14:40.:14:55.

Just had the headphones on, just heard some sounds.

:14:56.:14:57.

Thought, fireworks like everyone else did.

:14:58.:15:02.

Just turned, looked at my wife on the sunbed next to me

:15:03.:15:06.

and she was already off the sunbed, running in that direction.

:15:07.:15:11.

I just decided to run straight down the beach into the sea.

:15:12.:15:17.

I could still hear everything still going on.

:15:18.:15:22.

Then, a reunion with Mohammad Bensaid.

:15:23.:15:33.

He rescued Colin and other tourists from the sea.

:15:34.:15:38.

It was a very good thing you did for me, thank you.

:15:39.:15:46.

Only when Colin was pulled from the water, he realised he had

:15:47.:16:00.

At the local hospital, he searches the wards

:16:01.:16:13.

where he and other victims were treated by staff

:16:14.:16:15.

This was Colin just after the attack.

:16:16.:16:22.

Now he's here with a message of gratitude.

:16:23.:16:24.

Just to say thank you very much from everybody,

:16:25.:16:26.

Back at the beach, Colin is hoping there will be a full recovery

:16:27.:16:42.

I hope and pray it becomes a safe country, that other people can come

:16:43.:16:49.

Because the economy has been ruined because of one person.

:16:50.:16:56.

There's still a lot of survivors that will be scared to come back

:16:57.:16:59.

and I understand that, I was scared coming here.

:17:00.:17:01.

But for me, it was a process and I had to do it.

:17:02.:17:04.

I had to process it to put me in a better place, where I am today.

:17:05.:17:10.

But, for Colin and other survivors, nothing can wash away the horror

:17:11.:17:15.

of what happened on the golden sands of Sousse.

:17:16.:17:26.

With all the sport, here's Katherine Downes

:17:27.:17:29.

Andy Murray has become the first man to win five titles at Queens Club.

:17:30.:17:35.

It took three sets to beat Canadian Milos Raonic -

:17:36.:17:41.

but it was a strong performance by Murray, with just a week to go

:17:42.:17:45.

Andy Murray striding to what he hoped it would be more history. All

:17:46.:17:58.

of his success has been with Ivan Lendl as his coach. Now he wants

:17:59.:18:05.

Ivan Lendl to bring the best out of him again. Facing Milos Raonic was

:18:06.:18:09.

also going to be a tall order. The Canadian had never won a grass court

:18:10.:18:13.

title, but it was on course to do that when he edged the first set on

:18:14.:18:19.

a tie-break, much to Marie's frustration. After a poor start to

:18:20.:18:22.

the second set, Andy Murray hit back. This is the first time Milos

:18:23.:18:26.

Raonic had been broken all tournament and the match was soon

:18:27.:18:31.

level. Murray describes this court as the finest in the world and he

:18:32.:18:37.

was producing a performance worthy of gracing it. Milos Raonic had no

:18:38.:18:42.

answer. His partnership with Ivan Lendl resuming in style. Even if he

:18:43.:18:48.

did make a quick exit. It was nice of him to stick around for the

:18:49.:18:54.

presentation. Obviously a good first week back together. Big thanks to

:18:55.:19:00.

all of my team. Murray was one of eight men to win Queens four times.

:19:01.:19:05.

With Wimbledon week away, he becomes the first player to do it for a

:19:06.:19:07.

fifth. Hosts France have topped their group

:19:08.:19:12.

at the European championship after a nil nil draw

:19:13.:19:14.

with Switzerland - who finished 2nd and also qualify

:19:15.:19:17.

for the last 16. In the group's other final game,

:19:18.:19:19.

Albania beat Romania one nil to finish 3rd -

:19:20.:19:22.

giving them a chance of progressing. Wales and England are preparing

:19:23.:19:24.

for their final group games. Tomorrow England take on Slovakia

reports from Toulouse. After waiting so long to reach a

:19:36.:19:47.

major football tournament, Welsh fans aren't ready to leave just yet.

:19:48.:19:52.

But to lose in Toulouse tomorrow would mean going home. Win or draw

:19:53.:19:57.

against Russia and the journey should continue. Having been through

:19:58.:20:01.

the hurt of losing to England last week and letting in an injury time

:20:08.:20:11.

themselves up. They were quite deflated after the England match.

:20:12.:20:17.

Too soon to go home? Happily, we want to stay longer. As do the

:20:18.:20:21.

players, want to move onto the next level knowing it would exceed

:20:22.:20:24.

expectations. They have put themselves in a great position and

:20:25.:20:28.

we have just got to go on the pitch again tomorrow without any fear.

:20:29.:20:33.

This is a team that has made history to go beyond the group stages and

:20:34.:20:37.

that would be even more momentous. For England, tomorrow is more about

:20:38.:20:42.

fine tuning. And deciding who is the best goal threat with Jamie Vardy

looking to force his way into will stop some feel Harry Kane has looked

:20:47.:20:51.

tired. He has been very good in training the last couple of days. I

:20:52.:20:56.

think he is suffering more from this season than any other player. This

:20:57.:21:02.

weekend, Toulouse has been celebrating Celtic culture.

:21:03.:21:04.

Tomorrow, Wales have to make sure this isn't their swansong.

:21:05.:21:09.

Nico Rosberg has won the European Grand Prix in Baku.

:21:10.:21:11.

The German had a trouble free race, starting from pole and extends his

:21:12.:21:16.

His Mercedes teammate Lewis Hamilton was 5th.

:21:17.:21:20.

And the final round of the US Open golf is underway at Oakmont.

:21:21.:21:22.

Ireland's Shane Lowry has the lead, he's 6-under after four holes.

:21:23.:21:34.

Ireland's Shane Lowry has the lead, he's 5-under after four holes.

:21:35.:21:36.

Dustin Johnston of the USA is two shots behind.

:21:37.:21:39.

This weekend has seen the world's first ever

:21:40.:21:43.

live music performance, inside a volcano.

:21:44.:21:45.

It was part of a festival being held in Iceland,

:21:46.:21:47.

and an attempt by organisers to stand out in a crowded market.

:21:48.:21:49.

And as Chi Chi Izundu reports, it was a pretty exclusive affair,

:21:50.:21:51.

Not your average journey to a festival.

:21:52.:22:01.

With this gig there are only two ways to get to the venue.

:22:02.:22:04.

Hike across lava fields with the changeable Icelandic

:22:05.:22:07.

weather, or, if you can afford it, a short flight.

:22:08.:22:13.

This volcano erupted 4500 years ago, but they only allowed the public

:22:14.:22:22.

The journey to get to this part is via this special lift and it

:22:23.:22:29.

will be the same nearly as me scaling Big Ben

:22:30.:22:32.

Over the last decade, the explosion of festivals means

:22:33.:22:50.

Annually, tens of thousands happen across Europe alone

:22:51.:22:55.

and with the summer spent going from one to another,

:22:56.:22:58.
