Donald Trump sacks his controversial campaign manager.

:00:00.:00:09.

Corey Lewandowski was by Mr Trump's side from the start -

:00:10.:00:12.

why was he dropped at such a critical point?

:00:13.:00:17.

Authorities in Florida release details of conversations they had

:00:18.:00:20.

with the Orlando gunman during his attack on a nightclub.

:00:21.:00:26.

Also coming up, the UK parliament pays tribute to the MP Jo Cox,

:00:27.:00:29.

who was killed in her constituency last week.

:00:30.:00:31.

Just three days left before the UK votes to decide whether or not

:00:32.:00:37.

The US Republican Presidential candidate, Donald Trump, has dropped

:00:38.:00:58.

Corey Lewandowski had been working for Mr Trump ever

:00:59.:01:01.

since the wealthy New York developer began his White House

:01:02.:01:04.

The exact reason for his departure isn't clear yet.

:01:05.:01:07.

But a spokesman for Mr Trump's campaign said they were grateful

:01:08.:01:09.

for his "hard work and dedication" and "wished him

:01:10.:01:12.

The decision comes as Mr Trump faces strong resistance from senior

:01:13.:01:24.

members in his own party over his strident tone

:01:25.:01:26.

Let's get more from our correspondent in Washington,

:01:27.:01:31.

What does this say about the direction the campaign is taking? On

:01:32.:01:49.

the one hand, it is not unusual to have people that are very involved

:01:50.:01:55.

in one phase of the campaign to have a lesser role when you move to a new

:01:56.:01:58.

phase, which is the general election. It is a bit unusual for

:01:59.:02:05.

this very abrupt notice that Corey Lewandowski has been fired as he was

:02:06.:02:09.

so close to Donald Trump and he has come to his defence many times in

:02:10.:02:14.

the past. But what we have seen is that as Donald Trump was trying to

:02:15.:02:25.

make this transition from the primary is to the general election

:02:26.:02:29.

where you have to court the party, get more donors, face Hilary Clinton

:02:30.:02:36.

's world machine, this approach that Lewandowski was operating from was

:02:37.:02:42.

not appropriate. He brought in advisers to help him make that shift

:02:43.:02:44.

and there was a power struggle within the campaign that was making

:02:45.:02:48.

it quite dysfunctional and then in the last week the campaign had a

:02:49.:02:54.

really bad week. Trump made a number of statements that saw his figures

:02:55.:03:00.

dropping the polls. His own family members are involved in the campaign

:03:01.:03:06.

and they came to him and said you have to get rid of Corey Lewandowski

:03:07.:03:14.

and focus on the new advisers that are going to get us through the

:03:15.:03:18.

general election. It is the most public admission so far from Donald

:03:19.:03:21.

Trump at his campaign was in trouble and that he is trying to move

:03:22.:03:24.

towards a more conventional campaign. Briefly, tell us more

:03:25.:03:31.

about Corey Lewandowski and his more memorable moments during his time

:03:32.:03:34.

with Donald Trump. He has always been a controversial figure. Quite

:03:35.:03:42.

an aggressive approach, at one point he was charged with mild battery for

:03:43.:03:46.

grabbing onto a female correspondent, although those

:03:47.:03:50.

charges were dropped later. He was able to push Donald Trump forward

:03:51.:03:55.

but at the same time, he made a lot of enemies and he has just been on

:03:56.:03:58.

television now defending himself. He said that he was proud of his work

:03:59.:04:02.

in the primaries and achieving what I been achieved and he would still

:04:03.:04:06.

be supporting Donald Trump and downplayed all the criticism and

:04:07.:04:09.

speculation. He said this was a transition in the campaign and it

:04:10.:04:14.

was natural for the focus to go elsewhere. Staying in the United

:04:15.:04:19.

States. Transcripts of phone calls have been

:04:20.:04:22.

released between police and the Orlando gunman Omar Mateen

:04:23.:04:24.

who killed 49 people in a nightclub. Mateen spoke in Arabic and called

:04:25.:04:27.

himself an Islamic soldier. The FBI said he had spoken

:04:28.:04:29.

in a chilling, calm manner and appeared to have been

:04:30.:04:32.

radicalised within together in its grief, more

:04:33.:04:50.

information is coming to light about the horrific events that led to so

:04:51.:04:54.

much loss of life at the nightclub. The night of the attack, it is now

:04:55.:04:59.

known police were negotiating for nearly half an hour over three

:05:00.:05:02.

different phone calls with the killer. Omar Mateen. The FBI has

:05:03.:05:08.

released partial transcript of those calls. He identifies himself as an

:05:09.:05:12.

Islamic soldier, saying America had to stop bombing Iraq and Syria. As

:05:13.:05:19.

one battered one point, you says he has a suicide vest and threatens to

:05:20.:05:22.

detonate explosives in a vehicle outside the club. Not releasing the

:05:23.:05:28.

audio but I can tell you that while the killer made these murderous

:05:29.:05:34.

statements, he did so in a chilling, calm and deliberate manner. The FBI

:05:35.:05:39.

says it is still looking into the motives of the killer, including

:05:40.:05:44.

issues surrounding his mental health, his own sexual orientation

:05:45.:05:47.

and the means by which he may have been radicalised.

:05:48.:05:50.

The husband and two young children of the murdered British MP, Jo Cox,

:05:51.:05:53.

were invited to the British parliament on Monday to hear

:05:54.:05:56.

tributes to her from a packed House of Commons, which had been recalled

:05:57.:05:59.

On her empty seat on the famous green benches - two roses -

:06:00.:06:03.

a red one representing the Labour party and a white one for her home

:06:04.:06:06.

Our Deputy Political Editor, John Pienaar, was there.

:06:07.:06:13.

Two roses - white for Yorkshire and Labour red either side.

:06:14.:06:17.

For a single unforgettable hour, Parliament was no place

:06:18.:06:19.

One young MP's shocking death had moved many.

:06:20.:06:27.

With a rose on every chest, MPs high and low hoped that Jo Cox

:06:28.:06:30.

would leave a better politics behind.

:06:31.:06:34.

We need a kinder and gentler politics.

:06:35.:06:36.

We all have a responsibility in this House and beyond not to whip up

:06:37.:06:39.

David Cameron caught the mood, too.

:06:40.:06:52.

Most politicians try to improve lives.

:06:53.:06:54.

Jo Cox and her work for refugees had saved them.

:06:55.:06:57.

A passionate and brilliant campaigner whose grit

:06:58.:07:00.

and determination to fight for justice saw her time and time

:07:01.:07:03.

again driving issues up the agenda and making people listen,

:07:04.:07:05.

Quite simply, there are people on our planet today only

:07:06.:07:14.

But it was the closest friends who hit home.

:07:15.:07:21.

I remember worrying I had drunk too much wine earlier in the evening

:07:22.:07:34.

when I remembered it was the boat that was swaying and not me!

:07:35.:07:37.

To combat and guard against hatred, intolerance and injustice.

:07:38.:07:46.

To serve others with dignity and love.

:07:47.:07:47.

And that's the best way we can remember her and all she stood for.

:07:48.:07:51.

Her constituency will go on to elect a new MP but no-one

:07:52.:07:55.

And this was a loss felt across party lines.

:07:56.:08:08.

A Conservative not widely thought of as soft-centred

:08:09.:08:09.

Making common cause with a crusty old Tory, she and I became co-chairs

:08:10.:08:15.

There was just one moment more political.

:08:16.:08:26.

Another friend voiced what he believed would be Jo Cox's

:08:27.:08:28.

feeling about the Ukip anti-mass-migration poster.

:08:29.:08:35.

She would have responded with outrage and about the calculated

:08:36.:08:37.

narrative of cynicism and despair that it represents,

:08:38.:08:39.

because she understood that rhetoric has consequences.

:08:40.:08:41.

And when insecurity, fear and anger are used to light a fuse,

:08:42.:08:44.

Perhaps most moving, an MP who was another

:08:45.:08:55.

Children are being killed on their way to school.

:08:56.:09:05.

One in three children have grown up knowing nothing but fear and war.

:09:06.:09:08.

Those children have been exposed to things nobody should witness

:09:09.:09:10.

and I know I would risk life and limb to get my

:09:11.:09:14.

Applause is against the rules but they did it anyway.

:09:15.:09:25.

Every eye on Jo Cox's two children and her family who had watched it

:09:26.:09:28.

Afterwards, in Parliament Square, her parents, Gordon and Jean,

:09:29.:09:31.

The man charged with murdering Jo Cox, Thomas Mair,

:09:32.:09:49.

appeared before a judge at the Old Bailey in London

:09:50.:09:52.

on Monday, via videolink from the top security

:09:53.:09:54.

Belmarsh prison. The 52-year-old was

:09:55.:09:55.

He is charged murder, grievous bodily harm and possession

:09:56.:09:58.

He is due to appear before the same court for a preliminary

:09:59.:10:02.

After a pause in campaigning ahead of Thursday's EU referendum,

:10:03.:10:14.

following the death of Jo Cox, both sides have been back out

:10:15.:10:16.

Ukip leader, Nigel Farage, accused Prime Minister David Cameron

:10:17.:10:20.

and Chancellor George Osborne of implying that there was a link

:10:21.:10:22.

between the killing of the MP and the Leave campaign.

:10:23.:10:25.

Mr Farage said there was a "clear implication" from their remarks

:10:26.:10:27.

that the Leave campaign was responsible for creating

:10:28.:10:29.

Here's our political correspondent Alex Forsyth.

:10:30.:10:33.

A loss that left a country numb, an event so awful, it forced a pause

:10:34.:10:37.

Both sides called for more respect, left venom.

:10:38.:10:40.

But as the tributes keep coming, so too did the accusations.

:10:41.:10:43.

The political truce set aside, with one figure claiming rivals

:10:44.:10:45.

are making political capital out of tragedy.

:10:46.:10:53.

The Remain camp are using awful circumstances to try to say

:10:54.:10:56.

that the motives of one deranged, dangerous individual was similar

:10:57.:10:58.

of half the country, perhaps more, who believe we should leave the EU.

:10:59.:11:11.

Provoking reaction is no rare thing for Nigel Farage.

:11:12.:11:13.

This, the poster about immigration that caused such controversy.

:11:14.:11:16.

His latest accusations have been flatly denied by the Remain campaign

:11:17.:11:18.

and called for some, the tone for those arguing

:11:19.:11:20.

for Leave, for them to rethink and back Remain.

:11:21.:11:31.

Unfortunately, those of us at the outset with that very clear,

:11:32.:11:34.

inclusive, moderate vision for Brexit have, over

:11:35.:11:35.

time, been taken over by a message which is

:11:36.:11:37.

divisive, inward-looking, xenophobic.

:11:38.:11:38.

Unfortunately, it is creating deep divide and hate on our streets.

:11:39.:11:48.

The official Leave campaign maintains its message

:11:49.:11:50.

Today, invoking past battles for Britain, making

:11:51.:11:52.

the case of sovreignty with Second World War servicemen.

:11:53.:12:00.

We welcome them, we would love to have a union but built

:12:01.:12:04.

on a proper structure, not pencil pushers and

:12:05.:12:06.

This is a very different fight from the ones these veterans knew

:12:07.:12:13.

but the country's future is still on the line

:12:14.:12:15.

and with so much at stake, Leave campaigners say it is no time

:12:16.:12:18.

The public voicing their concerns and anxieties around not

:12:19.:12:25.

being in control of our immigration policy, about the impact

:12:26.:12:27.

of immigration on our public services and it is right that

:12:28.:12:30.

politicians of the day find the right ways in which to

:12:31.:12:33.

How does that make you feel when you are being accused

:12:34.:12:36.

as a campaigner of sowing the seeds of division and hatred?

:12:37.:12:45.

Well, that is not the situation or the position of Vote Leave.

:12:46.:12:48.

We have been clear during this campaign in terms of the case

:12:49.:12:51.

we have been making to the British public.

:12:52.:12:53.

Our case is about democracy, taking back control,

:12:54.:12:55.

when it comes to decision-making, away from those institutions

:12:56.:12:57.

of the European Union and putting power back in the hands

:12:58.:13:00.

The campaign teams know that with just a few days to go,

:13:01.:13:07.

there is a limit to the impact facts and figures will have.

:13:08.:13:09.

They are now appealing to emotion, to people's sense of national

:13:10.:13:12.

identity, to what they see as the UK's place in the world

:13:13.:13:15.

and that is why the tone is so important.

:13:16.:13:17.

And as this turbulent campaign takes off again for its crucial,

:13:18.:13:20.

final push, some fear of what has been said by both sides

:13:21.:13:23.

would be forgotten, even after Thursday's vote.

:13:24.:13:40.

British Prime Minister David Cameron has told the BBC he won't hold back

:13:41.:13:43.

He insisted he'd fought a positive campaign, despite

:13:44.:13:46.

On the campaign trail on Monday, he said he didn't want to wake up

:13:47.:13:51.

on Friday having not warned people of the risks, as our Political

:13:52.:13:54.

It's easier to get around when police motorbikes clear the way.

:13:55.:14:03.

But the Prime Minister's path has not been as smooth

:14:04.:14:05.

It's a race helped by some Labour faces.

:14:06.:14:09.

Does he have any time he can repeat the mantras?

:14:10.:14:11.

I think we put a very clear argument, a positive argument

:14:12.:14:25.

There's nothing more positive than having a strong

:14:26.:14:28.

economy and more jobs, and that's the heart of our case.

:14:29.:14:31.

But has it been positive to tell pensioners they might

:14:32.:14:33.

To say that the leader of so-called Islamic State would be happy

:14:34.:14:38.

if we used our democratic right to leave?

:14:39.:14:40.

I don't want to be the Prime Minister who wakes up on 24th June,

:14:41.:14:50.

having not warned people of the risks of leaving

:14:51.:14:53.

Do you think this debate has gone too far?

:14:54.:14:58.

You've been calling colleagues liars.

:14:59.:14:59.

Today we have Nigel Farage accusing you of using the terrible death

:15:00.:15:02.

I would defend the points I've made about the Leave campaign's leaflets

:15:03.:15:11.

because I'm very concerned people are being asked to leave

:15:12.:15:13.

the European Union and the single market, costing jobs,

:15:14.:15:16.

and they are being asked to do that on the basis of some

:15:17.:15:19.

He is not so keen to sell you a car but very keen to sell

:15:20.:15:27.

you the single market, with this going from one factory,

:15:28.:15:29.

to another, to another, and then going around the Continent.

:15:30.:15:32.

The question you are being asked, stay or go, is not just

:15:33.:15:35.

Even in the EU, we can't put a cap on immigration.

:15:36.:15:51.

But we can make sure people are free to go and work in France, Germany,

:15:52.:15:54.

Italy, and EU nationals are able to come and work here,

:15:55.:15:57.

If people come here and can't support themselves, we can ask

:15:58.:16:01.

But it is true to say if somebody doesn't break the law

:16:02.:16:11.

and they are not making a claim on the state,

:16:12.:16:13.

they can come here in as many numbers as they want

:16:14.:16:16.

from the EU, we cannot limit it?

:16:17.:16:19.

There are 2 million Britons who live abroad and whose

:16:20.:16:23.

If Europeans want to come and live here, they can.

:16:24.:16:26.

And let's celebrate that there are 50,000 EU nationals working

:16:27.:16:29.

Do you wish you had made a more positive case for immigration?

:16:30.:16:40.

I feel we have made a positive case for our country being in.

:16:41.:16:45.

This last dash is for his future, too.

:16:46.:16:47.

Every mile and every minute still matters.

:16:48.:16:54.

This is about our future, our families' futures.

:16:55.:16:56.

If we walk out of that exit door, there is no way back in.

:16:57.:17:00.

It is not a decision for five or ten years,

:17:01.:17:02.

And I am really concerned we get it right.

:17:03.:17:06.

Our children are old enough to talk about it and Nancy stole some

:17:07.:17:09.

In badges to take them into school for the In campaign.

:17:10.:17:19.

But will the results surprise him on Thursday?

:17:20.:17:39.

Of course we've got lots more on this story online.

including one that looks at which European Union country has

the most British people living abroad there.

:17:57.:17:58.

Now a look at some of the day's other news.

:17:59.:18:00.

The number of people displaced by conflict is at the highest level

:18:01.:18:03.

So says the United Nations refugee agency.

:18:04.:18:06.

In a report to mark World Refugee Day, the agency said

:18:07.:18:09.

the total is now 65 million people - that's more than the

:18:10.:18:11.

It's an increase of nearly six million in just one year.

:18:12.:18:15.

And it means one in every 113 people on the planet is now either

:18:16.:18:19.

displaced, a refugee or asylum seeker, with half

:18:20.:18:20.

of all refugees children. In Iraq, the ongoing war

:18:21.:18:23.

on the so-called Islamic State displaced nearly 3.5 million people.

:18:24.:18:25.

The battle for Fallujah alone has made at least 80,000 people

:18:26.:18:28.

Many of these civilians have ended up in camps that lack basic

:18:29.:18:32.

necessities like drinking water, electricity and sewerage.

:18:33.:18:33.

Several camps have been subject to disease outbreaks in the past

:18:34.:18:36.

like measles and cholera due to poor hygiene conditions.

The BBC's Ahmed Maher visited one camp in Baghdad

We used to have a big house and a farm, with cattle and sheep but now

when his car rolled towards him on his steep driveway.

:22:14.:22:24.

2015 was the "most dangerous year on record" for people

:22:25.:22:27.

around the world trying to protect their land

:22:28.:22:29.

That's the conclusion of a new report from the campaign

:22:30.:22:32.

It says Brazil was particularly badly affected, with at least 50

:22:33.:22:36.

people killed protecting forests and land from illegal

:22:37.:22:38.

From the Amazon, Wyre Davies reports.

:22:39.:22:44.

Brazil's indigenous tribes are as diverse as they are numerous.

:22:45.:22:46.

One thing they have in common today, perhaps above all else,

:22:47.:22:49.

is the relentless, insatiable pressure on their land

:22:50.:22:51.

The Ka'apor people of the eastern Amazon are fewer

:22:52.:22:54.

The jungle is their home, source of food and they have minimal

:22:55.:23:03.

But their lives and lands are under constant threat.

:23:04.:23:11.

"This is our land and we will fight to defend it,"

:23:12.:23:14.

says village chief Osmar Ka'apor, as the tribal council meets

:23:15.:23:16.

Since 2008, six Ka'apor leaders have been killed for trying

:23:17.:23:26.

to protect their land from illegal loggers and miners.

:23:27.:23:28.

For the Ka'apor, maintaining a traditional way of life,

:23:29.:23:30.

living in and off the forest, is what their existence is all about.

:23:31.:23:33.

They are prepared to defend this at all costs.

:23:34.:23:35.

But it puts them in direct conflict with others from the outside,

:23:36.:23:38.

who want access to the Amazon's precious resources as well.

:23:39.:23:41.

More than 5000 square kilometres of the Brazilian Amazon Rainforest

:23:42.:23:43.

80% of that is thought to be illegally cut and exported timber.

:23:44.:23:48.

Brazil's environmental agencies are fighting back

:23:49.:23:49.

but they are often up against powerful and corrupt

:23:50.:23:51.

TRANSLATION: We are facing a situation of organised crime,

:23:52.:24:15.

well structured and supported by people with money,

:24:16.:24:19.

using poor people to do their dirty work.

:24:20.:24:27.

A new report says that at least 50 environmental defenders,

:24:28.:24:30.

indigenous leaders and rural campaigners, were murdered

:24:31.:24:31.

The perpetrators are rarely, if ever, caught.

:24:32.:24:34.

The men who shot Dona Marina's husband have never been arrested.

:24:35.:24:40.

She says everyone knows who they are.

:24:41.:24:41.

A broken cross marks where Raimundo fell.

:24:42.:24:51.

The family have since fled their home and their land.

:24:52.:24:53.

"My life has no value now. Nothing," says Dona Marina.

:24:54.:25:02.

"My husband was threatened day and night but refused

:25:03.:25:04.

"I wanted to stay where he died but my son would not let me."

:25:05.:25:13.

While threats and intimidation have forced some communities

:25:14.:25:15.

to give up the struggle, it is not an option for the Ka'apor.

:25:16.:25:18.

Small in number, with their own language and traditions,

:25:19.:25:20.

this is more than a fight for their land.

:25:21.:25:22.
