:01:28. > :01:32.The husband of Jo Cox, the MP killed in West Yorkshire last week,
:01:33. > :01:36.has been paying tribute to his wife as a politician and as a mother.
:01:37. > :01:38.In his first interview since the attack, Brendan Cox
:01:39. > :01:42.said his wife had strong political views and believes she was killed
:01:43. > :01:48.He was talking to our political editor Laura Kuenssberg and said
:01:49. > :01:50.the huge public support and the outpouring of grief had
:01:51. > :01:58.The public reaction has been off the scale and the two things that
:01:59. > :02:05.I've been very focussed on is how do we support and protect the children
:02:06. > :02:11.and how do we make sure that something good comes out of this?
:02:12. > :02:17.And what the public support and outpouring of love around this
:02:18. > :02:24.does is also help the children see that what they're feeling
:02:25. > :02:37.That the grief they feel isn't abnormal, they feel it more
:02:38. > :02:38.acutely and more painfully and more personally,
:02:39. > :02:41.but that actually their mother was someone who was loved
:02:42. > :02:45.by lots of people and therefore it's OK to be upset and it's OK for them
:02:46. > :02:51.And the reason I wanted to speak today was just to thank the public
:02:52. > :02:53.who have been incredible in response to this.
:02:54. > :02:56.What will you tell your children about
:02:57. > :03:13.I think that one of the things from what's happened in terms
:03:14. > :03:18.of the public reaction is that she's being seen as a symbol
:03:19. > :03:27.for something that's much bigger, a sense of creating more compassion,
:03:28. > :03:33.And the thing that I don't want to lose is that she was also their mum.
:03:34. > :03:37.So I want to protect the personal memory as well as the more political
:03:38. > :03:39.memory and the symbolism that she's taken on.
:03:40. > :03:42.Was she worried about our current political culture, do you think?
:03:43. > :03:46.Yeah, very worried, and from left and right.
:03:47. > :03:50.I think she was very worried that the language was coarsening,
:03:51. > :03:55.that people were being driven to take more extreme positions.
:03:56. > :04:03.I think she worried that we were entering an age,
:04:04. > :04:11.that we haven't seen maybe since the 1930s, of people feeling
:04:12. > :04:17.insecure, for lots of different reasons, economic reasons
:04:18. > :04:21.or security reasons and then populist politicians,
:04:22. > :04:24.whether that's Trump in the US or whoever else, exploiting that
:04:25. > :04:29.and driving communities to hate each other.
:04:30. > :04:32.This, of course, has happened at a time when Britain is engaged
:04:33. > :04:36.in a big national conversation about our place in the world
:04:37. > :04:41.We know that she was clearly for staying in the European Union
:04:42. > :04:49.but what did she make of how the conversation's been conducted?
:04:50. > :04:52.I think as everybody knows Jo was a passionate pro-European
:04:53. > :04:55.and she definitely worried about the tone of the debate around
:04:56. > :04:58.this, not that it's not a legitimate debate to have and that there aren't
:04:59. > :05:01.completely legitimate views on both sides of the debate,
:05:02. > :05:10.but more about the tone of whipping up fears and whipping up hatred.
:05:11. > :05:14.Do you worry now about people using her in a political debate?
:05:15. > :05:17.She was a politician and she had very strong political views.
:05:18. > :05:25.I believe she was killed because of those views,
:05:26. > :05:32.And she would want to stand up for those in death as much
:05:33. > :05:43.I will remember somebody who had incredible energy,
:05:44. > :05:45.a joy about living life, somebody who would have no regrets
:05:46. > :06:01.Both love for her children, love in our family, but also love
:06:02. > :06:05.She just approached things with a spirit and she wasn't
:06:06. > :06:08.perfect at all, you know, but she just wanted to make
:06:09. > :06:12.the world a better place and to contribute and we love
:06:13. > :06:23.Brendan Cox talking to our political editor Laura Kuenssberg.
:06:24. > :06:26.With less than 48 hours to go until the country goes to the polls
:06:27. > :06:28.in the EU referendum, David Cameron has made
:06:29. > :06:31.a direct appeal to the older generation to vote to stay
:06:32. > :06:35.It comes after a former advisor to the Prime Minister says Mr Cameron
:06:36. > :06:38.had been told four years ago that it would be impossible to meet
:06:39. > :06:44.Our deputy political editor John Pienaar reports.
:06:45. > :06:46.When this thing comes out, you know it's serious.
:06:47. > :06:48.The campaign's been called a battle between hearts that say leave
:06:49. > :06:53.Today, David Cameron played on both, saying don't risk the economy,
:06:54. > :07:01.It will just be you in that polling booth, just you, taking a decision
:07:02. > :07:03.that will affect your future, your children's future,
:07:04. > :07:16.And it's not just about future years.
:07:17. > :07:19.Remainers say Black Friday could see the pound and shares tumble
:07:20. > :07:27.But a former Cameron advisor says he's struggling and claims
:07:28. > :07:30.he was warned years ago he'd never get migration below 100,000
:07:31. > :07:36.It's amazing to see the Prime Minister wheeled out
:07:37. > :07:38.like that by panicky spin doctors as an admission really that they've
:07:39. > :07:43.They've lost the argument on immigration.
:07:44. > :07:46.I think that's why they're losing overall because,
:07:47. > :07:49.as we were warned in Government many years ago, it was impossible
:07:50. > :07:53.for the British Government to meet its targets on immigration
:07:54. > :08:00.And Leavers believe they're the ones who draw the crowd.
:08:01. > :08:02.Nigel Farage's attack on migration strike a sour note with opponents
:08:03. > :08:06.but he doesn't care, warning today of strain on schools.
:08:07. > :08:08.This is what people are going to vote on in the referendum.
:08:09. > :08:10.Getting back control of our borders, easing
:08:11. > :08:19.Labour's leader is more supportive of migration in this campaign
:08:20. > :08:23.Frankly, I don't care where the doctor or nurse has come from.
:08:24. > :08:28.I value their skills, dedication and professionalism.
:08:29. > :08:31.Our NHS is an example of what people working together can achieve.
:08:32. > :08:34.Tonight, the rivals have arrived at Wembley Arena for the last big
:08:35. > :08:37.set-piece of the campaign, the BBC's Great Debate.
:08:38. > :08:42.Boris Johnson may be the Leavers' best hope of a winning moment.
:08:43. > :08:46.And London Mayor Sadiq Khan in team Remain.
:08:47. > :08:48.We have heard their arguments - fear for the economy,
:08:49. > :08:52.Now it's about who can reach the most hearts and minds
:08:53. > :09:02.here tonight and in the final hours of campaigning.
:09:03. > :09:07.Tonight's TV debate will be the biggest event of its kind ever seen
:09:08. > :09:12.in Britain. Politics as a performing art. After a campaign that's been
:09:13. > :09:16.fierce, dramatic from the start, and touched by tragedy. A truly telling
:09:17. > :09:18.moment could help decide the outcome and with it Britain's future for a
:09:19. > :09:23.generation. A father has been jailed
:09:24. > :09:25.for a minimum of 23 years after he was found guilty
:09:26. > :09:28.of murdering his six-year-old Ellie Butler died less than a year

:09:32. > :09:33.following a custody battle. Her mother, Jennie Gray,
:09:34. > :09:36.has been jailed for child cruelty. A warning that you may find some
:09:37. > :09:39.of the details in this report from our social affairs
:09:40. > :09:40.correspondent This is the family life
:09:41. > :09:45.Ben Butler fought for. And the life he destroyed
:09:46. > :09:53.in a fit of rage. Six-year-old Ellie was living
:09:54. > :09:56.with a man on a short fuse, as an accidentally recorded
:09:57. > :10:00.phone call demonstrated. Don't ask me to do something
:10:01. > :10:05.which you ain't BLEEP done The film also shows Ellie
:10:06. > :10:11.with a black eye which Butler Weeks later in October 2013

:10:23. > :10:26.to Sutton where they tried to stage things to look like an accident
:10:27. > :10:29.before sending their younger child to find Ellie
:10:30. > :10:35.and finally calling 999. Jennie Gray is shouting
:10:36. > :10:51.with Ben Butler in the background. It's a 15-minute call
:10:52. > :10:53.in which Jennie Gray is also instructed in how to resuscitate
:10:54. > :11:02.Ellie. The court was told Ellie had
:11:03. > :11:06.been dead for two hours. Describing Ben Butler as violent,
:11:07. > :11:10.ill-tempered and domineering, the judge, Mr Justice Wilkie,
:11:11. > :11:12.said his performance during the 999 In 2007, Ben Butler was convicted
:11:13. > :11:19.of shaking six-week-old Ellie. That was quashed on a legal
:11:20. > :11:22.technicality and Ellie eventually The couple even went on television
:11:23. > :11:32.to complain of the injustice. It took pretty much last
:11:33. > :11:35.month to clear my name. Jennie, had you ever any
:11:36. > :11:37.doubts about Ben? It was Mrs Justice Hogg,
:11:38. > :11:44.who retired in March, who exonerated Ben Butler
:11:45. > :11:46.in the Family Court saying it was her joy to return
:11:47. > :11:50.Ellie to her parents. But Ellie's maternal grandfather,
:11:51. > :11:53.who cared for her for years, I always said to the judge,
:11:54. > :12:00.one day you all may have blood on your hands with regards
:12:01. > :12:02.to my granddaughter Ellie A Serious Case Review says the court
:12:03. > :12:09.ruling gave Ben Butler the upper hand, making it difficult for others
:12:10. > :12:13.to protect a little girl described by her school
:12:14. > :12:32.as gentle and thoughtful. Tim taekwondo says he would go back
:12:33. > :12:37.to space in a heartbeat after his six-month mission. In carried out a
:12:38. > :12:41.range of activities to inspire children and had this nation for the
:12:42. > :12:45.next generation. You are looking at a boy who went to WestBourne primary
:12:46. > :12:49.school, who left school at the age of 19 with three below average
:12:50. > :12:53.A-levels and I have just got back from a six-month mission to space.
:12:54. > :12:55.My message to them is don't let anybody tell you you can't do
:12:56. > :13:01.anything. Tim Peake.
:13:02. > :13:05.Football, and in the last half hour Northern Ireland have lost 1-0 to
:13:06. > :13:09.Germany in their Euro 2016 tournament. It was their final match
:13:10. > :13:12.in Group C. Northern Ireland had its heart set
:13:13. > :13:18.on something special in Paris, the romance of their story has already
:13:19. > :13:21.made an impression. Win or draw against the world champions and they
:13:22. > :13:26.would be certain of staying. Early on it became clear how difficult
:13:27. > :13:30.that would be. But Michael McGovern was solid. If Michael O'Neill felt
:13:31. > :13:34.the noise was relentless, so was the pressure. Eventually something had
:13:35. > :13:49.to give and after half an hour Gomez gave Germany the goal they deserved.
:13:50. > :13:52.Northern Ireland was almost mesmerised by their movement, almost
:13:53. > :13:56.everyone but McGovern. Northern Ireland gave every ounce of effort
:13:57. > :13:59.to hold on to a narrow defeat. O'Neill's side have come a long way
:14:00. > :14:05.in this tournament and their everisn't over just yet.
:14:06. > :14:07.-- their journey isn't over just yet. It was the fairytale upset
:14:08. > :14:12.Northern Ireland fans would have dreamt of here but when you consider
:14:13. > :14:15.Germany thrashed Brazil 7-1 on the way to winning the World Cup, their
:14:16. > :14:19.team and particularly their goalkeeper, emerges from this with a
:14:20. > :14:23.huge amount of credit and defeat doesn't mean it's over for Northern
:14:24. > :14:25.Ireland. They're reliant on results elsewhere if they're to join England
:14:26. > :14:28.and Wales in the last 16. Thank you.
:14:29. > :14:35.Time now for a look at the weather. Thank you. Good evening. A fine end
:14:36. > :14:38.to the day for many. Most dry into the night but a few showers
:14:39. > :14:45.continuing in western Scotland and Northern Ireland and then later
:14:46. > :14:48.thicker cloud pushes in from the south-west to bring rain and coastal
:14:49. > :14:55.fog. Wales and Midlands will see some of that cloud and rain by dawn
:14:56. > :14:58.on Wednesday. Fresher further north but here we see the best of the
:14:59. > :15:02.sunshine throughout Wednesday. One or two passing showers. Morning
:15:03. > :15:06.cloud in the north of England should break up. From south-west England
:15:07. > :15:10.and Wales to the Midlands and parts of Lincolnshire is where we could
:15:11. > :15:14.see rain through the day. North and west of that pleasant enough in the
:15:15. > :15:17.sunshine. Feeling very muggy to the south and
:15:18. > :15:21.east, especially if you see the sunshine. Late day storms Channel
:15:22. > :15:24.Islands and northern France could push to south-east and East Anglia
:15:25. > :15:27.for the rest of this week. They could be torrential in places and
