:01:21. > :01:45.with four teams playing today. Good evening and welcome
:01:46. > :01:55.to the Six o'clock News. Today, we have been hearing one
:01:56. > :01:57.really quite incredible story of survival, after the game nightclub
:01:58. > :02:04.shootings, just down the road in Orlando. Angel Colon was shot three
:02:05. > :02:10.times but today, he was well enough to speak from his hospital bed and
:02:11. > :02:14.he described how he had to play dead in auditors of IV shootings while
:02:15. > :02:18.the killer, Omar Mateen, fired indiscriminately all around him. He
:02:19. > :02:22.was even shooting at bodies that had already fallen on the floor. Today
:02:23. > :02:29.it has emerged that Mateen was a frequent visitor to the club in
:02:30. > :02:33.Orlando. 49 people died in the shooting, six people are still in
:02:34. > :02:36.hospital, described as being in a critical condition. The first report
:02:37. > :02:40.comes from our North American editor, Jon Sopel.
:02:41. > :02:46.Stories of horror and survival don't come much more vivid than this. At
:02:47. > :02:49.the hospital news conference, Angel Colon, who was shot three times in
:02:50. > :02:53.the lead, was applauded from his wheelchair as he spoke about the
:02:54. > :03:02.nightmare that unfolded in the Pulse nightclub. Everyone started running
:03:03. > :03:08.everywhere, I got trampled over. I shattered and break my bones in my
:03:09. > :03:11.left leg. -- and broke. By this time, I could not walk at all, all I
:03:12. > :03:17.could do was lay down while everyone was running on top of me, trying to
:03:18. > :03:22.get to where they had to be. All I could hear was the shot gun. One
:03:23. > :03:26.after another. People screaming and yelling for help. He is shooting
:03:27. > :03:30.everyone that is already dead on the floor, making sure that... I was
:03:31. > :03:38.able to peek over and I can just see him shooting at everyone. I can hear
:03:39. > :03:43.the shot, the shot gun is closer and I look over and he shoots the girl
:03:44. > :03:50.next to me. I'm just there, laying down thinking, "I'm next, I'm dead".
:03:51. > :03:55.So I don't know how but by the glory of God, he shoots towards my head
:03:56. > :04:02.but it hits my hands. Then he shoots me again and it hits the side of my
:04:03. > :04:06.hip. I had no reaction, I was prepared to just stay there, laying
:04:07. > :04:12.down, so he won't know that I'm alive.

:04:18. > :04:20.In Orlando last night, sombre reflection as people from all walks
:04:21. > :04:25.of life came together to express their revulsion at what had
:04:26. > :04:29.happened. Let us take a moment in silence as we prepare for the
:04:30. > :04:34.ringing of the bells. The visual ended with a minute's silence but as
:04:35. > :04:38.the crowd dispersed, details were emerging about Omar Mateen that
:04:39. > :04:41.called into question whether this massacre was simply the act of an
:04:42. > :04:46.Islamic extremist. In the immediate aftermath of the shooting at the
:04:47. > :04:49.Pulse nightclub, a lot of people asked why here, why Orlando, when
:04:50. > :04:53.there was only other, bigger, better known clubs closer to where Omar
:04:54. > :05:00.Mateen lived? But now it has emerged he was a regular patron here and was
:05:01. > :05:04.using a gay dating app. He used to come in the bar, on the weekends
:05:05. > :05:09.sometimes, so he would be there sometimes, he would miss a couple of
:05:10. > :05:13.weeks and then be in again. He was a regular, we consider that regular.
:05:14. > :05:18.Irrespective of the motive, nothing changes the maths. 49 people dead
:05:19. > :05:21.and many others with life affecting injuries. Jon Sopel, BBC News,

:05:31. > :05:33.today, meeting members of the National Security Council. He
:05:34. > :05:38.reiterated this was being treated as a terror attack and also referred to
:05:39. > :05:42.some of the rhetoric that has been put out there, in response to what
:05:43. > :05:45.happened in Orlando, saying that the attempts to divide America would not
:05:46. > :05:50.succeed and the kind of rhetoric he has been hearing is the kind of
:05:51. > :05:53.thing that isolates the Muslim community. Of course, to add to what
:05:54. > :05:57.the president said, we have also heard today from Angel Colon, as you
:05:58. > :06:00.saw in the report and we also heard from the doctors who treated some of
:06:01. > :06:05.those who survived here about their professionalism. Talking to people
:06:06. > :06:08.in Orlando, they said what was exhibited on Saturday night, that
:06:09. > :06:13.grim night in Orlando were the two side of humanity, some of the worst
:06:14. > :06:17.sides and some of the bad in human beings, and they have been making it
:06:18. > :06:21.clear to me that as far as they are concerned, it is the best bits of
:06:22. > :06:22.humanity that will always prevail. Back to the studio. Clive, thank
:06:23. > :06:24.you. Thousands of extra police
:06:25. > :06:26.are being sent to the city of Lille in Northern France,
:06:27. > :06:29.amid fears of renewed clashes between Russian
:06:30. > :06:31.and England football fans. Today, European football's governing
:06:32. > :06:33.body Uefa fined Russia and warned that their team will be disqualified
:06:34. > :06:40.from Euro 2016 if there's any repeat of the violence seen at Saturday's
:06:41. > :06:42.game against England. Our correspondent Danny
:06:43. > :06:44.Savage is in Lille. A warning that his report contains
:06:45. > :06:51.some violent scenes. This camera is strapped to a Russian
:06:52. > :06:55.football thug, part of a gang In Marseille last weekend,
:06:56. > :07:06.anybody who got in the way of them This is believed to be him,
:07:07. > :07:15.the same distinctive shorts and you can see a camera
:07:16. > :07:19.strapped to his waist. He was also caught by a news crew
:07:20. > :07:22.at the same time, This man, Vladimir,
:07:23. > :07:28.claims he was involved. He says his gang have waited ten
:07:29. > :07:32.years for such a fight and the lack of intervention from the police
:07:33. > :07:36.meant they could do anything. A huge security operation
:07:37. > :07:40.is now underway in Lille where there are fears that Russian
:07:41. > :07:44.hooligans are heading for another The level of violence was absolutely
:07:45. > :07:48.unacceptable and they need How worried are you about them
:07:49. > :07:52.turning up here in Lille? We have got to be concerned,
:07:53. > :07:54.haven't we? Until they are dealt
:07:55. > :07:57.with and arrested and put before a court, they will remain
:07:58. > :07:59.a potential issue. Is there really people from Russia
:08:00. > :08:02.coming to cause trouble? And because the hooligans
:08:03. > :08:09.are still at large, England fans These guys could jump out of nowhere
:08:10. > :08:13.and that is the single point Mainstream Russian supporters
:08:14. > :08:20.believe the aggro isn't coming here. The way it was in Marseille,
:08:21. > :08:25.it was a competition with ultras. Here, it is just pure
:08:26. > :08:28.competition between the fans The ultras should be worried
:08:29. > :08:35.that the national team might be disqualified or lose some points
:08:36. > :08:37.maybe in this competition So I don't think there's any reason
:08:38. > :08:41.for further trouble. There has been trouble
:08:42. > :08:43.already here in Lille. These tables and chairs went
:08:44. > :08:47.flying on Sunday night. There is talk of an alcohol ban
:08:48. > :08:51.but bar owners here believe it will not apply to them
:08:52. > :08:53.in the city centre. Their only concession is to serve
:08:54. > :08:57.everything in plastic cups. Some bars will close but not
:08:58. > :09:04.until midnight tomorrow. Russia will be out of this
:09:05. > :09:06.competition if their fans cause any more trouble
:09:07. > :09:09.in a stadium. The race is now on to stop some
:09:10. > :09:12.supporters from getting anywhere Labour's intensified its attempts
:09:13. > :09:22.to get party supporters to throw their weight behind a vote
:09:23. > :09:37.to stay in the EU. Jeremy Corbyn claimed today a vote
:09:38. > :09:39.to leave would wreck the NHS. The party's deputy, Tom Watson said a
:09:40. > :09:43.future Labour government would have to do more to control immigration
:09:44. > :09:44.from the EU and would have to listen to voters' concerned as Laura
:09:45. > :09:51.Kuenssberg reports. If armies march on their stomachs,
:09:52. > :09:56.right now, Labour needs plenty of fuel. From top to bottom, there is
:09:57. > :10:01.panic that their supporters want out after record levels of immigration.
:10:02. > :10:06.The deputy leader, who few would take, in a political fight, thinks
:10:07. > :10:09.the party has to listen. -- take on in a. I've gone around the country
:10:10. > :10:13.and I'm concerned that too many are saying they are sick of the Cameron
:10:14. > :10:18.government and they are waiting Leave, I want to say to them, the
:10:19. > :10:20.stakes are too high, if you vote to punish David Cameron in this retro
:10:21. > :10:26.-- in this referendum, there is no comeback. In the last decade, I
:10:27. > :10:30.would say that immigration has been the backdrop to every election we
:10:31. > :10:33.have had in Britain. Wogan tied politicians that don't listen to
:10:34. > :10:38.what voters tell them. What we have to reassure people of is that if
:10:39. > :10:42.they vote to Remain on Thursday, 23rd of June, that is not the end of
:10:43. > :10:46.the reform package for Europe. You know, I think a future Europe will
:10:47. > :10:50.have to look at things like the free movement of labour rules. To be
:10:51. > :10:55.clear, you are saying that Labour have to look at a way of controlling
:10:56. > :10:58.freedom of movement? I think it's very likely that a Labour government
:10:59. > :11:02.would want to reform the European Union and yes, if we get to the
:11:03. > :11:07.general election in 2020, of course we would have to listen to our
:11:08. > :11:11.voters. They are giving us a pretty clear signal in this referendum. The
:11:12. > :11:17.campaign is hard going for Labour. Voters have been confused about
:11:18. > :11:21.whether it is for In or Out. A hastily planned get-together with
:11:22. > :11:28.union and party VIPs was meant to be Astro strength. -- a show of
:11:29. > :11:32.strength. But curbing freedom of movement is not necessarily what
:11:33. > :11:36.Jeremy Corbyn would support. The rest of the EU is unlikely to agree.
:11:37. > :11:41.Nearly all of labour, though, does agree that you should vote to
:11:42. > :11:44.Remain. From lands end to John O'Groats, from Norwich to North
:11:45. > :11:50.Wales, we are making the case to remain. This feels like it has been
:11:51. > :11:54.a last-minute scramble for the Labour Party. It has been. Despite
:11:55. > :11:58.many voters' concerns about immigration, many MPs do believe
:11:59. > :12:03.there are still enough undecided voters that this last-minute push
:12:04. > :12:08.could make the difference. Labour wanted to talk about the NHS today.
:12:09. > :12:11.A vote to Leave is a vote which will put the NHS in jeopardy, in the
:12:12. > :12:15.hands of those who want to break it up. APPLAUSE
:12:16. > :12:20.But the handful of Labour MPs who want out believe they have the
:12:21. > :12:25.public's here. Labour's leadership cannot face up to the big issue, and
:12:26. > :12:28.that is about immigration. This has been wonderful, this globalisation
:12:29. > :12:33.moved round the world, for the rich. But if you are at the bottom of the
:12:34. > :12:38.pile, you have paid the price. But many on the left believe exit would
:12:39. > :12:42.be the far greater cost. The morning after the referendum, if we have
:12:43. > :12:46.voted to leave, who's going to be happiest? Nigel Farage, Boris
:12:47. > :12:52.Johnson and a resurgent Right that I think would spell disaster for the
:12:53. > :12:55.trade union members I represent and working-class communities across the
:12:56. > :12:59.UK. It is late but Labour is facing up to this difficult fight. This
:13:00. > :13:00.party, as well as the government, is waiting to be judged. Laura
:13:01. > :13:02.Kuenssberg, BBC News. Britain has won a European court
:13:03. > :13:17.case upholding its right to withhold child benefit and tax credit
:13:18. > :13:19.from some EU nationals. Remain campaigners say
:13:20. > :13:22.the European Court of Justice ruling shows the UK can act to prevent
:13:23. > :13:24.benefit tourism while staying But Vote Leave said it was "absurd"
:13:25. > :13:28.that the UK had had to engage in lengthy legal battles
:13:29. > :13:30.with the Luxembourg court. The Leave campaign has
:13:31. > :13:32.insisted that sectors which currently receive EU funds,
:13:33. > :13:34.such as farming and universities, won't lose out in the event of
:13:35. > :13:38.a vote to leave the European Union. But their claims have been dismissed
:13:39. > :13:41.as fantasy by Remain campaigners. Our deputy political editor
:13:42. > :13:50.John Pienaar is here. Who is right? Every day, the Leave
:13:51. > :13:52.side ministers are looking more like a government in exile. There's a
:13:53. > :13:56.spending promise almost every day and today we are told that the
:13:57. > :13:59.billions we sent Brussels, which comeback in grants and the like,
:14:00. > :14:03.would keep on flowing even if we leave the European Union. That is
:14:04. > :14:08.nearly ?6 billion for farms, culture, construction and science,
:14:09. > :14:11.which they said would be paid directly. They have no authority to
:14:12. > :14:14.make any spending promises. They are not the government and the
:14:15. > :14:16.government policy is to Remain but they are saying it anyway.
:14:17. > :14:19.We have been very clear today that those farmers,
:14:20. > :14:21.universities, scientists, will not lose out when we choose
:14:22. > :14:24.to vote Leave on June 23rd, and that we can spend the money that
:14:25. > :14:28.currently goes to Brussels on them and on our priorities.
:14:29. > :14:32.How can you promise what you are promising?
:14:33. > :14:38.Our economy will grow when we leave Europe because of course
:14:39. > :14:40.we will have new business opportunities, new
:14:41. > :14:49.That is Priti Patel, who is obviously optimistic that the
:14:50. > :14:54.economy would grow and not shrink if we left the European Union and so
:14:55. > :14:57.are the Levers but many experts like the Institute for Fiscal Studies say
:14:58. > :15:01.the weight of opinion is that the economy could slow down which could
:15:02. > :15:06.mean if you do this, tax rises or spending cuts. That is their pitch.
:15:07. > :15:09.The Remain campaign is calling it fantasy economics. I think healing
:15:10. > :15:11.this rift in the government is going to be very, very tough now, whoever

:18:48. > :18:51.as cowardly. It does have some of the hallmarks that we have seen here
:18:52. > :18:55.before. This was apparently an individual attack which was followed
