The US-born gunman pledged allegiance to IS, but Barack Obama

says it wasn't a coordinated attack.

There's no evidence so far that he was,

There's no direct evidence that he was part of a larger plot.

I'm appealing, therefore, to all of our

fans, and we appreciate your support at the matches, of course, but I'm

appealing to you to stay out of trouble.

Later in the hour on BBC News, we'll have action from the European

Championship on euro 2016 Sportsday. We'll have news from the three home

nations in France. Good evening from Orlando Florida,

where a clearer picture is emerging of the worst mass shooting in recent

American history. 49 people were shot dead in a gay

nightclub, just a few metres We're getting a sense as time goes

on of the police operation to stop the slaughter, stop the killing.

It's now emerging that Omar Mateen was apparently cornered in one of

the bathrooms in the club, under a hail of gunfire. Dozens of people

then managed to escape. But the SWAT team that got in there to rescue

those people only gained entry by punching hole into the side of one

of the walls with an armoured vehicle. President Obama made it

clear today that he did not believe the evidence does not suggest that

this was part of a wider plot. Here's our North America editor,

Jon Sopel. At a former school turned old

people's home, the victims' families gathered. They came in their twos

and threes, clinging to each other, bracing themselves for the worst

possible news from the authorities. The process of identifying the

bodies goes on. For the families, an unbearable wait. Meanwhile,

survivors have been telling their stories. I want to say it lasted for

about eight minutes. Like, he wasn't stopping. He kept on shooting and

shooting and shooting and walking around. It was rapid fire. Then he'd

like change. Another ammunition, then change, put another ammunition.

I could smell the ammo in the air. I was like, this is a gun. This isn't

fireworks. We need to leave. New video has emerged from envied the

club. It's just after 2am and this reveller was filming on his

smartphone as the first shots rang out. These are pictures of some of

the young people who've been identified as having lost their

lives. This is Eddie Justice. Had was texting his mother as he was

trapped in the bathroom of the club. Christopher Linonen was unaccounted

for. His mother spoke as she waited for news. When he was in high

school, he started the gay-straight alliance. I've been so proud of him

for that. Please let's all just get along. We're on this earth for such

a short time. Today she found out that Christopher and his boyfriend

didn't survive. It's unclear how the gunman entered. The club was packed.

The main dance floor was hit first. On the patio area, the gunfire was

heard over the loud music sm, managed to escape through the fence,

even those badly injured. Others hid in the toilets, calling police and

texting friends and family for help. It was the last time some families

heard from their loved ones. Additional officers responded. Those

additional officers made entry while the suspect was shooting and gauged

in another -- engaged in a gun battle with the suspect, forced him

to stop shooting and retreat to the bathroom, where we believe he had

several hostages. At that time, we were able to save and rescue dozens

and dozens of people who were injured and not injured and get them

out of the club. So what of the killer, Omar Mateen? Today Barack

Obama said that it seems he was acting alone. At this stage, we see

no clear evidence that he was directed externally. It does appear

that at the last minute, he announced allegiance to Isil. But

there's no evidence, so far, that he was, in fact, directed. Mateen's

father said he had no idea his son had such hatred in his heart. I'm

very sad and I'm very mad and angry - why did he do that? To the

homeland, those people died. They are our family. They got affected.

The 52 people got injured. They're our family. The United States, my

mentality is the United States, we are a family. In Washington a gay

men's choir sang and vigils have been held across the country.

# Were so gallantly streaming... # The pain in the gay community is

acute and America's sense of insecurity and vulnerability has

intensified still further. As authorities gave more details

about the victims of the attacks, also emerging today were tales

of those who survived. We're hearing tales of bravery and

survival. Jon Sopel has been speaking

to one man, Ivory McNeal, who managed to escape the club

but lost six of his friends. All the music, just everything

stops. Everything stops. All you hear is this loud noise, pop, pop,

pop. Like one after another, like and it's just doesn't stop. It

doesn't stop. Like it just keeps going. And so, I run out to an

enclosed patio that was in the back. It's completely blocked off. You

can't just run outside. Like the fences are really high. So I hide

behind like patio furniture. How did you manage to get out? I hear like

people coming in, so I poked my head out and I see like this SWAT team of

people. So I come out, I'm seeing them. I put my hands up. They're all

like holding up guns like they want to shoot me. Hey, I'm not part of

this, like, please, help me. I guess after a second, they realised I'm

not a part of it. So they kind of like grabbed me and get me to

safety. And we're just like walking low and like, getting to safety. And

what about your friends? Did everyone get out? People from the

party died. People from the house warming party died. People from the

house warming party were shot. My friends were shot. Do you know how

many? No. You're still waiting to hear? I'm still waiting to hear. One

tale of survival there. The roads around the nightclub here

are cordoned off. There's a heavy police presence down there. They're

combing the crime scene still. This is a heavily, built-up residential

area. Some of those would died last night would be locals. Some would

have come from further afield. This atrocity has touched a whole nation.

America, once again, having to come together to mourn those who've died

in yet another mass shooting. George, back to you.

Several senior Labour Party figures have taken centre stage in the EU

With growing concern that the Remain campaign has yet to ignite support

among many Labour voters, the former Prime Minister,

Gordon Brown, said they have most to gain if Britain stayed

Here's our political editor, Laura Kuenssberg.

Clearing the stage, the campaign to persuade you to vote in wants Tories

out of the way, at least today. In place, the man who never quite

convinces the public as Prime Minister. Some of you, I gather,

were expecting David Cameron to be here. Can he persuade them now? You

cannot succeed in securing financial stability or dealing with pollution.

The European Union is not the cause of the problem. The European Union

can be part of the solution. With the Tories divided, it's what almost

every Labour MP would say are good reasons to stay. What sort of

message would we send to the world on June 23? If we, Britain, decided

to walk away from our nearest neighbours? This is not the Britain

I know. This is not the Britain I believe in. This is not the Britain

we should aspire to be. We should be a leader in Europe and not leaving

it. It was meant to be David Cameron up there this afternoon. Instead

it's the former Prime Minister, Gordon Brown. That tells you

everything you need to know. The Remain camp is worried, deeply

worried that their weeks of warnings have fallen on deaf ears with Labour

voters. This week, different faces, different voices and a different

message. What about immigration that troubles so many? Many Labour voters

feel simply, when you were in power, too many people came here from other

parts of Europe, that's why they think you lost touch. That's why

many of them might vote to leave. You've got to get the balance right.

We manage immigration. In the main, the immigrants who've come to our

country are making a good contribution to our economy. What

we've got to make sure is areas under pressure have public services

properly provided for. Do you think you can make a difference in this

vote? I'm not claiming I have any ability to make a huge difference on

my own. Together we can show that we can get things done. The occasional

Labour MP is enjoying being on the other side, sharing the trail with

Boris Johnson. And with new predictions today that immigration

will go up and up for decades, Outers claimed Gordon Brown's

appearance shows they might win. I can tell what the Remain side are a

bit rattled, my friends, because they had a re-launch this morning.

They decided to use Gordon Brown to inject some dynamism into

proceedings, which shows the measure of the panic they're in. They're

resorting to more and more scare stories, more and more misery, more

and more discussion of the end of civilisation as we know it. Do we

believe this doom mongering? Absolutely not. All David Cameron's

warnings seem not enough. You'll see more of him and more of them. This

was not Remain's plan. Football now, and six England fans

have been jailed in Marseilles, following the violence

during the opening But a French official has described

some of the Russians involved Today the England manager,

Roy Hodgson, and captain, Wayne Rooney, have appealed to fans

to stay out of trouble. England have been trying

to focus on their football, but with their threat of expulsion

from Euro 2016 hanging over them, today coach and captain had this

message for the supporters: I'd like to ask the fans, please, if

you don't And for the fans with tickets,

be safe, be sensible and continue with your great support

for the players. I'm obviously very concerned

about the threat which is now hanging over us and the sanctions

that could possibly be imposed We worked very hard to get here,

and we really desperately I'm appealing therefore

to all of our fans - and we appreciate your support

at the matches, of course - but I'm appealing to you to

stay out of trouble. UEFA's warned England and Russia

they'll both be thrown out of the tournament if there's any

repeat of the scenes in Marseille. The French authorities say

a hard-core group of Russian thugs TRANSLATION: There are 100,

150 people who have a reputation They were very quick

and very violent. The weekend's violence has cast

a shadow over a tournament The trouble is raising serious

questions about the effectiveness of the policing, the segregation

of fans and stewarding inside the stadium and UEFA's

scheduling of certain matches England came close to being kicked

out of Euro 2000 after fans went on the rampage in Charleroi,

but some believe they're now In my view, a team has never been

as close as it is today of being thrown out a major

football tournament. UEFA are under huge pressure

because of the threat of terrorism, which has only grown over the past

20 years, to be seen Yesterday, more disorder

for the authorities to contend with, With Russia playing there

on Wednesday, and England fans using it as a base for the match

against Wales in nearby Lens the following day, the trouble

could be far from over. The weather is stuck on repeat for

some, but not for all. A beautiful day today across the Northern Isles

and up into Aberdeenshire, not a cloud in the sky. That really was

the exception. Most of us had this leaden looking skies. We waited for

the showers and when they arrived they lingered. Across south-west

Scotland, stretching into north-west England, through the Peaks and East

Midlands, East Anglia. In the last hour thundery down pours across the

south-east as well. They're going to linger through the night. Some of

them pretty slow moving. There'll be a lot of surface water and spray and

some poor visibility, particularly to higher ground, mist and fog to

greet us first thing. Clearer skies in the far west of Scotland. Maybe a

little fresher here. That's where we're likely to see the best of the

sunshine tomorrow. Different story into Aberdeenshire - cloud and rain

arrives. Some of that is persistent into the afternoon. For England and

Wales, it's same old, same old - sunny spells, scattered showers,

some heavy and thundery. If you dodge the showers, you are keep the

sunshine, highs of around 20 degrees. Aer feel into the

north-east. Low pressure remains in the driving seat. Little change

through this week. Actually, we could see some persistent rain

lingering across certain tral and southern Scotland with a

north-easterly flow making it feel chilly. Scattered showers again,

some of those potent if you catch them. If you dodge them you keep the

sunshine. Temperatures peaking at 19 degrees. Cooler to the north-east

with that north-easterly flow. A reminder of our main story:

Survivors of the Orlando mass -- President Obama says the killer

responsible for the mass shooting in Orlando was not part of a larger

plot. Some families are still waiting for news of their retifrz.

Tonight, cities around the world are demonstrating their solidarity.

This was Glasgow, where 600 people gathered to remember those who died.

And this was Soho in Central London, where people released balloons
