Trapped inside the Orlando nightclub - a man who was shot several times

:00:00.:00:09.

Lying wounded on the dance floor, unable to move, he'd been shot

:00:10.:00:14.

Speaking from hospital, Angel Colon described how he played

:00:15.:00:20.

dead when the gunman returned and started shooting again.

:00:21.:00:25.

I can hear the shot, the shotgun is closer and I look

:00:26.:00:28.

over and he shoots the girl next to me.

:00:29.:00:30.

And I'm just there, laying down and thinking,

:00:31.:00:33.

Six people are still critically ill in hospital. We will have the latest

Sportsday live from Paris at 6:30pm on BBC News,

:01:15.:01:16.

all the news from the tournament and some action as well,

:01:17.:01:20.

with four teams playing today. Good evening and welcome

:01:21.:01:45.

to the Six o'clock News. Today, we have been hearing one

:01:46.:01:55.

really quite incredible story of survival, after the game nightclub

:01:56.:01:57.

shootings, just down the road in Orlando. Angel Colon was shot three

:01:58.:02:04.

times but today, he was well enough to speak from his hospital bed and

:02:05.:02:10.

he described how he had to play dead in auditors of IV shootings while

:02:11.:02:14.

the killer, Omar Mateen, fired indiscriminately all around him. He

:02:15.:02:18.

was even shooting at bodies that had already fallen on the floor. Today

:02:19.:02:22.

it has emerged that Mateen was a frequent visitor to the club in

:02:23.:02:29.

Orlando. 49 people died in the shooting, six people are still in

:02:30.:02:33.

hospital, described as being in a critical condition. The first report

:02:34.:02:36.

comes from our North American editor, Jon Sopel.

:02:37.:02:40.

Stories of horror and survival don't come much more vivid than this. At

:02:41.:02:46.

the hospital news conference, Angel Colon, who was shot three times in

:02:47.:02:49.

the lead, was applauded from his wheelchair as he spoke about the

:02:50.:02:53.

nightmare that unfolded in the Pulse nightclub. Everyone started running

:02:54.:03:02.

everywhere, I got trampled over. I shattered and break my bones in my

:03:03.:03:08.

left leg. -- and broke. By this time, I could not walk at all, all I

:03:09.:03:11.

could do was lay down while everyone was running on top of me, trying to

:03:12.:03:17.

get to where they had to be. All I could hear was the shot gun. One

:03:18.:03:22.

after another. People screaming and yelling for help. He is shooting

:03:23.:03:26.

everyone that is already dead on the floor, making sure that... I was

:03:27.:03:30.

able to peek over and I can just see him shooting at everyone. I can hear

:03:31.:03:38.

the shot, the shot gun is closer and I look over and he shoots the girl

:03:39.:03:43.

next to me. I'm just there, laying down thinking, "I'm next, I'm dead".

:03:44.:03:50.

So I don't know how but by the glory of God, he shoots towards my head

:03:51.:03:55.

but it hits my hands. Then he shoots me again and it hits the side of my

:03:56.:04:02.

hip. I had no reaction, I was prepared to just stay there, laying

:04:03.:04:06.

down, so he won't know that I'm alive.

:04:07.:04:12.

# Let it be, let it be # Let it be, let it be. #

:04:13.:04:17.

In Orlando last night, sombre reflection as people from all walks

:04:18.:04:20.

of life came together to express their revulsion at what had

:04:21.:04:25.

happened. Let us take a moment in silence as we prepare for the

:04:26.:04:29.

ringing of the bells. The visual ended with a minute's silence but as

:04:30.:04:34.

the crowd dispersed, details were emerging about Omar Mateen that

:04:35.:04:38.

called into question whether this massacre was simply the act of an

:04:39.:04:41.

Islamic extremist. In the immediate aftermath of the shooting at the

:04:42.:04:46.

Pulse nightclub, a lot of people asked why here, why Orlando, when

:04:47.:04:49.

there was only other, bigger, better known clubs closer to where Omar

:04:50.:04:53.

Mateen lived? But now it has emerged he was a regular patron here and was

:04:54.:05:00.

using a gay dating app. He used to come in the bar, on the weekends

:05:01.:05:04.

sometimes, so he would be there sometimes, he would miss a couple of

:05:05.:05:09.

weeks and then be in again. He was a regular, we consider that regular.

:05:10.:05:13.

Irrespective of the motive, nothing changes the maths. 49 people dead

:05:14.:05:18.

and many others with life affecting injuries. Jon Sopel, BBC News,

:05:19.:05:21.

Orlando. President Obama has been speaking

:05:22.:05:30.

today, meeting members of the National Security Council. He

:05:31.:05:33.

reiterated this was being treated as a terror attack and also referred to

:05:34.:05:38.

some of the rhetoric that has been put out there, in response to what

:05:39.:05:42.

happened in Orlando, saying that the attempts to divide America would not

:05:43.:05:45.

succeed and the kind of rhetoric he has been hearing is the kind of

:05:46.:05:50.

thing that isolates the Muslim community. Of course, to add to what

:05:51.:05:53.

the president said, we have also heard today from Angel Colon, as you

:05:54.:05:57.

saw in the report and we also heard from the doctors who treated some of

:05:58.:06:00.

those who survived here about their professionalism. Talking to people

:06:01.:06:05.

in Orlando, they said what was exhibited on Saturday night, that

:06:06.:06:08.

grim night in Orlando were the two side of humanity, some of the worst

:06:09.:06:13.

sides and some of the bad in human beings, and they have been making it

:06:14.:06:17.

clear to me that as far as they are concerned, it is the best bits of

:06:18.:06:21.

humanity that will always prevail. Back to the studio. Clive, thank

:06:22.:06:22.

you. Thousands of extra police

:06:23.:06:24.

are being sent to the city of Lille in Northern France,

:06:25.:06:26.

amid fears of renewed clashes between Russian

:06:27.:06:29.

and England football fans. Today, European football's governing

:06:30.:06:31.

body Uefa fined Russia and warned that their team will be disqualified

:06:32.:06:33.

from Euro 2016 if there's any repeat of the violence seen at Saturday's

:06:34.:06:40.

game against England. Our correspondent Danny

:06:41.:06:42.

Savage is in Lille. A warning that his report contains

:06:43.:06:44.

some violent scenes. This camera is strapped to a Russian

:06:45.:06:51.

football thug, part of a gang In Marseille last weekend,

:06:52.:06:55.

anybody who got in the way of them This is believed to be him,

:06:56.:07:06.

the same distinctive shorts and you can see a camera

:07:07.:07:15.

strapped to his waist. He was also caught by a news crew

:07:16.:07:19.

at the same time, This man, Vladimir,

:07:20.:07:22.

claims he was involved. He says his gang have waited ten

:07:23.:07:28.

years for such a fight and the lack of intervention from the police

:07:29.:07:32.

meant they could do anything. A huge security operation

:07:33.:07:36.

is now underway in Lille where there are fears that Russian

:07:37.:07:40.

hooligans are heading for another The level of violence was absolutely

:07:41.:07:44.

unacceptable and they need How worried are you about them

:07:45.:07:48.

turning up here in Lille? We have got to be concerned,

:07:49.:07:52.

haven't we? Until they are dealt

:07:53.:07:54.

with and arrested and put before a court, they will remain

:07:55.:07:57.

a potential issue. Is there really people from Russia

:07:58.:07:59.

coming to cause trouble? And because the hooligans

:08:00.:08:02.

are still at large, England fans These guys could jump out of nowhere

:08:03.:08:09.

and that is the single point Mainstream Russian supporters

:08:10.:08:13.

believe the aggro isn't coming here. The way it was in Marseille,

:08:14.:08:20.

it was a competition with ultras. Here, it is just pure

:08:21.:08:25.

competition between the fans The ultras should be worried

:08:26.:08:28.

that the national team might be disqualified or lose some points

:08:29.:08:35.

maybe in this competition So I don't think there's any reason

:08:36.:08:37.

for further trouble. There has been trouble

:08:38.:08:41.

already here in Lille. These tables and chairs went

:08:42.:08:43.

flying on Sunday night. There is talk of an alcohol ban

:08:44.:08:47.

but bar owners here believe it will not apply to them

:08:48.:08:51.

in the city centre. Their only concession is to serve

:08:52.:08:53.

everything in plastic cups. Some bars will close but not

:08:54.:08:57.

until midnight tomorrow. Russia will be out of this

:08:58.:09:04.

competition if their fans cause any more trouble

:09:05.:09:06.

in a stadium. The race is now on to stop some

:09:07.:09:09.

supporters from getting anywhere Labour's intensified its attempts

:09:10.:09:12.

to get party supporters to throw their weight behind a vote

:09:13.:09:22.

to stay in the EU. Jeremy Corbyn claimed today a vote

:09:23.:09:37.

to leave would wreck the NHS. The party's deputy, Tom Watson said a

:09:38.:09:39.

future Labour government would have to do more to control immigration

:09:40.:09:43.

from the EU and would have to listen to voters' concerned as Laura

:09:44.:09:44.

Kuenssberg reports. If armies march on their stomachs,

:09:45.:09:51.

right now, Labour needs plenty of fuel. From top to bottom, there is

:09:52.:09:56.

panic that their supporters want out after record levels of immigration.

:09:57.:10:01.

The deputy leader, who few would take, in a political fight, thinks

:10:02.:10:06.

the party has to listen. -- take on in a. I've gone around the country

:10:07.:10:09.

and I'm concerned that too many are saying they are sick of the Cameron

:10:10.:10:13.

government and they are waiting Leave, I want to say to them, the

:10:14.:10:18.

stakes are too high, if you vote to punish David Cameron in this retro

:10:19.:10:20.

-- in this referendum, there is no comeback. In the last decade, I

:10:21.:10:26.

would say that immigration has been the backdrop to every election we

:10:27.:10:30.

have had in Britain. Wogan tied politicians that don't listen to

:10:31.:10:33.

what voters tell them. What we have to reassure people of is that if

:10:34.:10:38.

they vote to Remain on Thursday, 23rd of June, that is not the end of

:10:39.:10:42.

the reform package for Europe. You know, I think a future Europe will

:10:43.:10:46.

have to look at things like the free movement of labour rules. To be

:10:47.:10:50.

clear, you are saying that Labour have to look at a way of controlling

:10:51.:10:55.

freedom of movement? I think it's very likely that a Labour government

:10:56.:10:58.

would want to reform the European Union and yes, if we get to the

:10:59.:11:02.

general election in 2020, of course we would have to listen to our

:11:03.:11:07.

voters. They are giving us a pretty clear signal in this referendum. The

:11:08.:11:11.

campaign is hard going for Labour. Voters have been confused about

:11:12.:11:17.

whether it is for In or Out. A hastily planned get-together with

:11:18.:11:21.

union and party VIPs was meant to be Astro strength. -- a show of

:11:22.:11:28.

strength. But curbing freedom of movement is not necessarily what

:11:29.:11:32.

Jeremy Corbyn would support. The rest of the EU is unlikely to agree.

:11:33.:11:36.

Nearly all of labour, though, does agree that you should vote to

:11:37.:11:41.

Remain. From lands end to John O'Groats, from Norwich to North

:11:42.:11:44.

Wales, we are making the case to remain. This feels like it has been

:11:45.:11:50.

a last-minute scramble for the Labour Party. It has been. Despite

:11:51.:11:54.

many voters' concerns about immigration, many MPs do believe

:11:55.:11:58.

there are still enough undecided voters that this last-minute push

:11:59.:12:03.

could make the difference. Labour wanted to talk about the NHS today.

:12:04.:12:08.

A vote to Leave is a vote which will put the NHS in jeopardy, in the

:12:09.:12:11.

hands of those who want to break it up. APPLAUSE

:12:12.:12:15.

But the handful of Labour MPs who want out believe they have the

:12:16.:12:20.

public's here. Labour's leadership cannot face up to the big issue, and

:12:21.:12:25.

that is about immigration. This has been wonderful, this globalisation

:12:26.:12:28.

moved round the world, for the rich. But if you are at the bottom of the

:12:29.:12:33.

pile, you have paid the price. But many on the left believe exit would

:12:34.:12:38.

be the far greater cost. The morning after the referendum, if we have

:12:39.:12:42.

voted to leave, who's going to be happiest? Nigel Farage, Boris

:12:43.:12:46.

Johnson and a resurgent Right that I think would spell disaster for the

:12:47.:12:52.

trade union members I represent and working-class communities across the

:12:53.:12:55.

UK. It is late but Labour is facing up to this difficult fight. This

:12:56.:12:59.

party, as well as the government, is waiting to be judged. Laura

:13:00.:13:00.

Kuenssberg, BBC News. Britain has won a European court

:13:01.:13:02.

case upholding its right to withhold child benefit and tax credit

:13:03.:13:17.

from some EU nationals. Remain campaigners say

:13:18.:13:19.

the European Court of Justice ruling shows the UK can act to prevent

:13:20.:13:22.

benefit tourism while staying But Vote Leave said it was "absurd"

:13:23.:13:24.

that the UK had had to engage in lengthy legal battles

:13:25.:13:28.

with the Luxembourg court. The Leave campaign has

:13:29.:13:30.

insisted that sectors which currently receive EU funds,

:13:31.:13:32.

such as farming and universities, won't lose out in the event of

:13:33.:13:34.

a vote to leave the European Union. But their claims have been dismissed

:13:35.:13:38.

as fantasy by Remain campaigners. Our deputy political editor

:13:39.:13:41.

John Pienaar is here. Who is right? Every day, the Leave

:13:42.:13:50.

side ministers are looking more like a government in exile. There's a

:13:51.:13:52.

spending promise almost every day and today we are told that the

:13:53.:13:56.

billions we sent Brussels, which comeback in grants and the like,

:13:57.:13:59.

would keep on flowing even if we leave the European Union. That is

:14:00.:14:03.

nearly ?6 billion for farms, culture, construction and science,

:14:04.:14:08.

which they said would be paid directly. They have no authority to

:14:09.:14:11.

make any spending promises. They are not the government and the

:14:12.:14:14.

government policy is to Remain but they are saying it anyway.

:14:15.:14:16.

We have been very clear today that those farmers,

:14:17.:14:19.

universities, scientists, will not lose out when we choose

:14:20.:14:21.

to vote Leave on June 23rd, and that we can spend the money that

:14:22.:14:24.

currently goes to Brussels on them and on our priorities.

:14:25.:14:28.

How can you promise what you are promising?

:14:29.:14:32.

Our economy will grow when we leave Europe because of course

:14:33.:14:38.

we will have new business opportunities, new

:14:39.:14:40.

That is Priti Patel, who is obviously optimistic that the

:14:41.:14:49.

economy would grow and not shrink if we left the European Union and so

:14:50.:14:54.

are the Levers but many experts like the Institute for Fiscal Studies say

:14:55.:14:57.

the weight of opinion is that the economy could slow down which could

:14:58.:15:01.

mean if you do this, tax rises or spending cuts. That is their pitch.

:15:02.:15:06.

The Remain campaign is calling it fantasy economics. I think healing

:15:07.:15:09.

this rift in the government is going to be very, very tough now, whoever

:15:10.:15:11.

wins. A man shot several times

by a man who'd pledged allegiance Their three-year-old child was also

:18:21.:18:23.

held hostage before the attacker And the French government is now

:18:24.:18:26.

saying this was a terrorist attack? That's right, the interior minister

:18:27.:18:42.

has called it an appalling terrorist act, the president has described it

:18:43.:18:47.

as cowardly. It does have some of the hallmarks that we have seen here

:18:48.:18:51.

before. This was apparently an individual attack which was followed

:18:52.:18:55.

by a hostage situation and the attacker was then killed by police.

:18:56.:19:01.

These kinds of so-called lone wolf attacks show the scale of the

:19:02.:19:05.

security problem facing France. It is a country under a heavy state of

:19:06.:19:10.

emergency with high security in many of its cities, partly because the

:19:11.:19:17.

European Championships are on here this month and yet in this quiet

:19:18.:19:20.

commuter town outside Paris comes this attack in a normal suburban

:19:21.:19:23.

street. It really shows the diversity of the threat and also the

:19:24.:19:27.

difficulty protecting France. Thank you.

Over the next week, we'll be gauging opinion from all around the UK.

We start in Cornwall - a county which receives hundreds

:19:35.:19:36.

But as Martyn Oates, the BBC political editor

:19:37.:19:40.

for the South West of England, has discovered,

:19:41.:19:42.

that doesn't necessarily mean Cornish citizens

:19:43.:19:43.

Known for sea, sand, pasties and Padstow,

:19:44.:19:49.

Cornwall is officially defined by poverty which means it gets

Nowhere in England is bankrolled by the European Union the way

:19:52.:19:58.

Cornwall is and it runs to hundreds of millions of pounds.

:19:59.:20:04.

Hefty hand-outs include ?50 million for the iconic Eden Project,

?53 million to roll out superfast broadband and ?173 million

But Cornwall's economy remains on a par with Transylvania and it

:20:13.:20:20.

doesn't get any poorer than this part of Penzance.

:20:21.:20:26.

There is little sign of recovery on the Treneere Estate and not much

:20:27.:20:29.

enthusiasm for Cornwall's benefactors in Brussels.

:20:30.:20:32.

I am voting and it will be Out.

:20:33.:20:34.

Because I think we would save an awful lot of money

:20:35.:20:39.

We don't really need to be in the EU.

:20:40.:20:42.

Right, I've got to go and get some electric.

:20:43.:20:45.

At the estate's community kitchen, though, these volunteers are firmly

:20:46.:20:48.

for Remain and say the county's EU funding is hugely important.

:20:49.:20:55.

The local college is completely EU funded, I didn't know that,

:20:56.:20:58.

And I wouldn't be there at the moment if it wasn't

:20:59.:21:02.

I'm very aware that Cornwall has been a beneficiary

:21:03.:21:06.

Many here feel they have been neglected by successive governments

:21:07.:21:13.

in London but in this Penzance pub at least,

:21:14.:21:16.

it doesn't seem to make the flow of EU money any more welcome.

:21:17.:21:20.

So the British government doesn't invest in Cornwall, the EU does,

:21:21.:21:24.

Well, I want to see, if we leave it, it can't get any worse

:21:25.:21:31.

My gut instinct is Out because I think nobody is giving us

:21:32.:21:37.

the information we need to know, it's all smoke and mirrors, people

:21:38.:21:40.

It no longer the EU, it's the United States of Germany.

:21:41.:21:47.

If Cornwall's complicated relationship with the EU tells us

:21:48.:21:50.

anything, perhaps it's that money really can't buy you love.

:21:51.:21:53.

Martyn Oates, BBC News, Penzance.

:21:54.:21:58.

She was supposed to be even more unsinkable than the Titanic.

:21:59.:22:05.

But, like her sister ship, she ended up at the bottom

:22:06.:22:09.

of the sea after she was destroyed during the First World War off

:22:10.:22:13.

100 years later, our correspondent Andrew Bomford has

:22:14.:22:16.

been given exclusive access to her wreck.

:22:17.:22:23.

120 metres down, on the Aegean seabed, a forgotten secret has been

:22:24.:22:26.

Looming in the dark-blue depths is the grave of the gigantic ship

:22:27.:22:34.

Britannic, Titanic's bigger and better sister,

:22:35.:22:37.

Up above, on the ship U Boat Navigator, deep divers

:22:38.:22:42.

At 400 feet down it is a challenging and dangerous dive.

:22:43.:22:48.

Two state-of-the-art submersibles will join them in the deep

:22:49.:22:51.

The divers call her the Everest of the dive world, the biggest ship

:22:52.:22:56.

Can you imagine the ship crashing to the seabed,

:22:57.:23:01.

We are 120 metres deep, the thing was longer than that,

:23:02.:23:07.

so when it sank, the bow was hitting the seabed and the stern

:23:08.:23:10.

Poking your head inside to have a look, lots

:23:11.:23:13.

and lots of things, glassware intact, beautiful lamps inside,

:23:14.:23:16.

Keeping watch is the British owner of the wreck, who bought it

:23:17.:23:24.

It's a very unusual thing to say that you own a shipwreck.

:23:25.:23:31.

It just draws people in and you are looking at a far

:23:32.:23:37.

better preserved version of the Olympic class liners

:23:38.:23:39.

Diving down in the submersible, the light slowly fades,

:23:40.:23:42.

turning everything the deepest blue and then, out of the dark,

:23:43.:23:45.

It's the most awe-inspiring sight I have ever seen.

:23:46.:23:50.

This truly titanic sleeping beauty lying here on her side

:23:51.:24:00.

But the detail - you can see everything, down here,

:24:01.:24:10.

It's amazing, it's interesting, it's cool, it's dangerous.

:24:11.:24:14.

Divers swim through a giant tear in the hull.

:24:15.:24:16.

Now the divers are working into the entrance,

:24:17.:24:18.

Britannic was a luxury liner refitted as a hospital ship

:24:19.:24:24.

for the First World War Battle of Gallipoli when disaster struck.

:24:25.:24:27.

But miraculously, unlike Titanic, only 30 people died.

:24:28.:24:31.

Still down here are the handrails, glass windows, floor tiles,

:24:32.:24:33.

Andrew Bomford, BBC News, Kea, in Greece.

:24:34.:24:49.

Time now for a look at the weather. We have had some pretty dramatic

:24:50.:24:56.

weather today, heavy downpours, thunderstorm that have led to flash

:24:57.:25:02.

flooding in some areas. This is from the West Midlands Fire Service in

:25:03.:25:06.

Birmingham and you can exceed the extent of the lying water and Flash

:25:07.:25:10.

flooding and several areas have had similar scenes and we have also had

:25:11.:25:14.

several of these funnel clouds. This was in Warwickshire. We will keep

:25:15.:25:20.

those big storms heading to the evening particularly across much of

:25:21.:25:24.

England and Wales where we have most of the storms. Some late brightness

:25:25.:25:28.

in Northern Ireland and north-west England and overnight the rain will

:25:29.:25:33.

move in across northern and eastern Scotland and further south, still

:25:34.:25:36.

some heavy showers in parts of England and Wales. We start tomorrow

:25:37.:25:41.

on a fairly cloudy note with another unsettled day and outbreaks of

:25:42.:25:46.

persistent rain in northern and eastern Scotland, low cloud around

:25:47.:25:51.

the east coast. Some brightness in Northern Ireland and north-west

:25:52.:26:04.

England but further south those scattered showers will build through

:26:05.:26:07.

the day, particularly in South Wales and the south-west of England where

:26:08.:26:09.

they will be pretty heavy. There will be drier and brighter weather

:26:10.:26:12.

in the south-east and some areas should stay dry, avoiding the

:26:13.:26:13.

showers, particularly the far south-east and parts of north-west

:26:14.:26:15.

England and Northern Ireland. But the rain comes in across Scotland

:26:16.:26:18.

and there will be similar heavy downpours with hail and lightning

:26:19.:26:24.

mixed in. 20 degrees or so between the showers. Thursday should be

:26:25.:26:28.

another day of sunshine and scattered showers. Heavy showers in

:26:29.:26:32.

England and Wales, more persistent rain in eastern parts of Scotland.

:26:33.:26:37.

Things improved heading to the weekend but in the next few days

:26:38.:26:40.

heavy downpours are likely to lead to further flooding.

:26:41.:26:42.
