retaken. i'm george howell. >> i'm fred pleitgen in england and this is cnn "newsroom." ♪ hello, everyone, a church service for british mp jo cox is set to begin any moment now. she will be remembered at st. peter's church here which you see behind me and cox's murder briefly halted the political back and forth that has enveloped this country for months. and now the campaigns are being resumed and we'll have a live report on this. a little bit more about the service here. it is the latest in a constant stream of events honoring the late jo cox and i was able to go inside the church you sigh behind me and there's an altar to honor her there. there were some letters put there by many children between 9 and 10 years old. apparently, she visited a school here in her district two days before she was murdered and the children there writing letters saying that even though she had this position of superiority as they called it, of course, being a member of parliament, they felt she was one of them. she gave them the impression she understood their worries and where they were coming from and she wasn't too big not to understand where they were coming from. certainly, a lot of outpouring from the local community. there are a lot of people coming to this search service and it's something we have seen a lot of over the past couple of days. you have these makeshift vigils that happen in many parts of the country. first and foremost right here where you had prime minister david cameron coming here and the opposition leader jeremy corbyn is here. cox's family joined the community in birstall. her parents laid flowers and heard from some of the people here to remember their daughter together. they shared stories and remembered a life tragically cut short. jo's sister spoke before the crowd. here's what she said. >> there are some things you should never have to do. last night i had to go and identify my sister's body. yes, this was jo cox, mp, and she was many things to many people in her too short life because she was my sister. my only sibling, my parents first born child, a wife and i amom. our family is broken, but we will mend over time, and we will never let jo leave our lives. she will live on through all of us. she will render to us and to her truly wonderful children who will always know what an utterly amazing woman their mother was. she was a human being, and she was perfect. >> so you have there an absolutely beautiful statement by jo cox's sister who also said that she believes that jo cox would be very happy to see the way that she's being remembered here, that people are coming with an outpouring of emotion. what happened to her is not something that has caused more divisions here in this country but much rather has brought people together and, of course, also that she is being remembered in a positive way for all the positive things that she's done. of course, she was someone who tirelessly campaigned not just in her own district but also around the world for the people of darfur, for the people of syria and probably not least for refugees where she said that britain should take in more than it is at this point in time. as we've said, the entire country has put aside its politics that were vicious for the past few days to mourn cox but official campaigning is back under way now as britain is just a few days away from a crucial referendum on its future within the european union. still, here in birstall the focus remains on the beloved mp murdered in the small town she meant so much to. later in the week, the u.k. will vote whether it will be a part of the group in which it has been for 40 years. and team leave is rallying in london. what is the mood like now at that rally? >> reporter: very good morning you joining us in the city of london, fred. as you suggest, the first planned event for the leave campaign since the death of jo cox on thursday, we are told by organizers here that they have ticketed for a thousand people to attend this event. they say they are expecting 1,600, the mood slightly somber here as they get ready for this event. it is expected to be attended by boris johnson, the former mayor of london, perhaps the leading voice so far as international community is concerned for the leave campaign. the character most people around the world would recognize and the justice minister for the government here, michael gove. quite a somber environment here. people haven't arrived yet and when they will arrive, they will have probably have seen this newspaper this morning, "the sunday times." this, as you see, no turn back warns cameron, the pm swipes at rivals. most people who attend this event are likely to have read this newspaper. they will be aware that the polls have been narrowing over the past couple of days now, a caveat here, fred you and i know that the polls in recent history here in the u.k. have been less than perfect, but the poll in this newspaper today suggesting that the remain camp is actually now one% ahead in the poll that they have conducted for this newspaper with the leave campaign at 43%. so it remains to be seen really what happens between now and thursday, the day of the referendum, but certainly as the events, these planned events get going once again in this week's lead-up, a very different atmosphere, i would suggest from that which we had last week before the death of jo cox. fred. >> reporter: you are absolutely right. it's interesting, at the same time of course you have the situation where you had this awful tragedy that took place and i think many people here in this country felt ashamed of some of the political rhetoric that was happening around the brexit vote. we have to keep in mind this is probably one of the most important decisions that this country will have to make over the past decades. have the arthd of the leave campaign shifted as well? is it about the immigration? is it about the faults of the eu? what are they telling people to convince them that leave is still the right way to go? >> reporter: i think what you will find this week and this is a guess at this point, but i think potentially what you'll find this week, and we'll hear from a lot of those who are leading this leave campaign, they will try and sort of skew it back to the economics to a certain extent. the tactic of immigration which is one that's been derided by so many people who want to remain in the eu, derided as violent, disgraceful as people said. the rhetoric not really what they would have expected to have seen from a country in 2016. at no turning back warns cameron from this page this today. it alludes to what david cameron says in this article and what we are expecting to hear from him in the sunday morning television programs today. he will say that there is no turning back. if the country votes to leave, were it to try and get back into the eu going forward, it would have to join shingham which is the border policy, it would have to join the euro which it doesn't have at the moment. there would be a whole lot of issues. what he's saying you don't get in a car that's already faulty. he's saying that boris johnson and the leave campaign are selling those who are looking to get out a faulty car. he says the mechanics have told you it's already not working properly, alluding to the fact that the imf to so many of the economic organizations around the world who have said the u.k. is better inside the eu, david cameron, the prime minister here of course is campaigning on the remain ticket saying why would you get in a car that is already faulty? why would you sign up to leaving the eu when you don't really know what happens on the other side, when the economics don't necessarily stack up, although his party or those on the remaining side have been accused of scare amongering. i don't think the economic argument on either side is being made because there's no precedent for this. your question will we continue to see the sort of rhetoric we've seen around immigration this week, i wouldn't be surprised if we see less of that and more on the economics. at this point, with the polls narrowing, i guess, you know, it remains to be seen exactly how these two campaigns really skew their rhetoric in the next four or five days. >> reporter: yeah. it's interesting, becky, that you say that, they have been talking a lot about the economic fallout of a possible brexit, although nobody can tell you what that fallout would be because there isn't a precedent for this happening before. thank you very much, becky anderson at a leave campaign rally in london. george as we've been saying we're outside the church service for jo cox that's part of the many vigils and memorialize taking place here in her home district in birstall. of course, other parts of britain as well. we noted the prime minister was here, the opposition leader was here, the speaker of particle men was here in her home district as well. at the same time that we see this big political context with the brexit vote looming, first and foremost, what most people are talking about is remembering jo cox who someone who was very important to this community, someone who was a wife and a mother and who, of course, will always be remembered here in this town in england, george. >> fred, let's talk just a bit about that as we're looking again at these live images coming from this service that is underwear -- under way this out. talk to us how jo cox was known in that community. it was a self-proclaimed proud yorkshire lass, very much revered in that working class community. talk to us about her presence in that community. what it meant for people there. >> reporter: yeah, yeah, and i think that's a very important question in all of this. i think she is someone where people here will tell i she had a lot of empathy. she was a local politician. someone who cared about what the people felt about their troubles, their woes who spoke to the people in her district quite frequently but also someone who was a very important figure on the international and national political stage here in england and around the world. she tried to help people in darfur. she very much campaigned to help people in syria. one of her big things was a no bomb zone which of course is something talk about in international politics for a very long time. she was very much for allowing more refugees into the country as well. so on the one hand they know her as a very important local politician here in the community but also someone who didn't shy away from international issues here, george. >> fred, co-anchoring this hour from england on this event, a church service that's under way. thank you so much. we'll stay in touch with you through the rest of the show. this is cnn "newsroom" at 4:13 on the u.s. east coast. still ahead, iraq says it has liberated fallujah from isis but as cnn saw firsthand, fighting continues in that city. the very latest from fallujah ahead. plus, more families are burying their loved ones, people killed in last weekend's shooting in orlando, florida. how some of the victims are being honored next. welcome back to cnn "newsroom." i'm george howell. the former president of egypt, mohammed morsi has been sentenced to live in prison following an espionage trial. an egyptian court convicted him of passing classified documents to qawt -- quatar, he was overthrown by the military in 2013. in iraq, in the battle to drive isis from fallujah, it continues, despite government claims that it has been liberated. iraq's prime minister said on television friday that the city has been retaken but admitted pockets of isis still remain. the u.n. says an estimated 50,000 people are in grave danger, trapped in that besieged city. our ben we'd he -- weideman is live there. yesterday when i read that government statement to you, that there are still pockets of resistance. you rightly pointed out that is quite to the contrary from what you've seen on the ground. >> reporter: yes, george. it's important to keep in mind that it is only a matter of time before iraqi forces are able to drive isis out of fallujah. at this point, we understand isis still only controls the northern sector of the city, but iraqi officials obviously would like to claim victory at this point. it is a significant accomplish many given the fact that two years ago the iraqi army was in full collapse and one city was falling to isis after another, but for fallujah it's clear at this point the battle is far from over. to save fallujah from isis, iraqi forces have destroyed vast expanses of this city, block after block, one flattened building after another. in military march lance, the -- parlance, the city was softened up by days of heavy bombardment from land and air. we're in this iraqi army humvee heading inside one of the neighborhoods in southeast fallujah. we've already heard small arms fire crackling inside and also heard the thud of incoming artillery rounds so we'll see what we find inside. i asked soldiers in the humvee if daesh, is still inside the city? >> no, responds the 12-year army veteran. there is no daesh. he qualifies his statement. there are pockets one or two here fighting here and there. the pockets, we soon discovered, were many and they seemed deep. this is a neighborhood in central fallujah. it was until day before yesterday under the control of isis. now we see lots of iraqi troops and humvees in this part of the town. what we're not seeing are any civilians. this officer asked to be called abu medlin, encountered isis in fighting. they were in a bad way, exhausted he says. they were suffering from lack of food and water. iraqi officials expected stiffer resistance in fallujah, the first major city seized by isis two and a half years ago. but iraqi forces have manage to push rapidly inside. officers insist resistance is at best scattered. there are still a few snipers and we're dealing with them says this man and soon we'll finish them off. one group of fighters did manage to liberate an isis banner, the liberation of the city, however, is still a work in progress. and, of course, as this operation seems to be winding down in fallujah, there's no clear idea when civilians will be able to move back into the city. at its height the population of fallujah was about 300,000. now officials say those remaining in the city, in the areas under isis control, are perhaps 30,000, george. >> and ben, do you get a sense on the ground, you say those pockets of resistance as described by the government, you do believe that that -- from what you've seen on the ground, the government is making major advances? >> reporter: yeah. what we saw in a period of about 48 hours was that the government forces which held two neighborhoods to the south of the city made a rapid and really dramatic push all the way up to the edges of those northern neighborhoods, so there's no question that they have been able to do something much quicker than was anticipated just a week ago. it looked like the strategy of the government was simply to cut off the city and wait until isis simply could no longer hold out for lack of food and water, but, no, in fact, they went into the city quite rapidly and now as i said, isis is cornered in the northern sector but they don't seem to be putting up the kind of fight anybody was expecting. it was expected that fallujah, because it was the first city that isis conquered back in january 2014, that this would be of importance, important symbolism. it appears their new void is losing their experienced fighters and save them to fight another day. >> the focus now on fallujah, the focus next would be on mosul. ben, thank you so much for your reporting there. on to belgium there, authorities say they have detain three suspects on terror-related charges after a series of police raids in that country. the raids came as possible threats to belgium football fans gathering to watch the euro 2016 games. the belgium prime minister says football-related events will go on as planned but with extra security. listen. >> translator: the message that we want to pass is one of determination. a message of ser rentity, a message of calm. all the scheduled events in the coming days will go on with added security measures. so the message is the security council as well as the security services are extremely vigilant. we are monitoring the situation hour by hour, and we will continue to conduct this battle with great determination, this battle against extremism, radicalism and terrorism. >> belgium has been on alert since the deadly terror attack in brussels there three months ago. the u.n. secretary-general is calling on the international community to do more for thousands of refugees trapped in greece. on saturday ban ki-moon visited greek refugee camps. he urged euro to speed up the resettlement of refugees and also treat them more humaneely. >> the challenges are growing. ever day around the world, thousands of families continue to flee their homes. detention is the no the answer -- is not the answer. it should end immediately. let us work together to resettle more people, provide the legal pathways and better refugees. >> he also thank the people helping the hundreds of thousands of migrants who landed on their shoulders. the family of jo cox are sharing their tributes to her. and how the community is paying tribute to victims of the orlando nightclub shooting. stay with us. welcome back to our viewers in the united states and around the world. you are watching cnn "newsroom." i'm fred pleitge dwxt. >> and i'm george howell. in iraq, government forces push into the heart of fallujah. saturday morning, the battle was still on. iraq's prime minister said on television friday that the city has been liberated but added that pockets of resistance remain. the former president of egypt mohammed morsi has been sentenced to life in prison over charges of espionage. he was convicted of passing classified documents to qautar. he was over thrown by the military in 2013. donald trump and the united states fighting back against a movement calling for, anybody but trump. a group is trying to block the billionaire from becoming their party's nominee. it appears increasingly unlikely that russia's track and field will compete in the rio olympics. the world governing body for russia says -- it has not done enough to stop systematic doping. thank you, george. we're right back here in birstall, england. the past few days the murder of jo cox has overshadowed the campaigning for the brexit. right here, in birstall the folk is still very much on mourning, a devastating loss for this community and for this country as well. jo cox's family came out on saturday to share their love with jo with the community she faithfully served. st. peter's is hosting a service in her honor. that's going on right now. it's the latest of a series of tributes paid to cox. we've been coming here over the past couple of days since these awful events happened and you could see that the people here in this very small town are absolutely devastated that something like this could have happened inside their community. of course, jo cox was very important to them as their member of parliament, someone who even though she obviously spent a lot of time in london also spent a lot of time campaigning for international issues, was still very much a part of local politics here. and that's certainly something that is also reflected in that church service that is taking place, that's being led by vicar paul knight. he said he wanted to remember jo as someone who was very special, a mom, a wife, two children growing up without their mom. a difficult time for the family. you could see the outpouring of support inside st. peter's church that you see behind me and you also see from the live pictures that we have. there's people who paid tribute to her in letters that they placed on an altar. many of them children between the ages of nine and ten who wanted to express their feeling that she was a special person, that she was someone who understood them. she visited a school here in this district only a couple of days ago. there were letters from children of migrants who had come here who said that she specifically helped their families to come here and to be able to blossom here in this community, so that's the kind of outpouring of support that you are seeing here and that is certainly also, of course, at the root of this church service that is happening here right now and that really is one in a series of events that have been happening here throughout this country and indeed inside this community for the past couple of days. of course, you have that makeshift memorial, that is exactly in the place where jo cox was murdered, where you had a lot of political prominents from around the country come then of course you have the parents and sister of jo cox who made an emotional visit to this memorial here in birstall just yesterday. jo's sister read a statement from the family calling jo perfect and saying the young children will never forget who she was. >> yes, this was jo cox, mp, and she was many things to many people in her too short life because she was my sister. my only sibling, my parents first born child, a wife and i amom. our family is broken, but we will mend over time, and we will never let jo leave our lives. she will live on through all of us. our parents instilled in us a glassful of positivity. jo only saw the good. we know that there are some evil people in this world, but there are an awful lot of good people too. when jo would get abuse on facebook or twitter, we would talk and sometimes cry together. but she would still focus on the positive. and talk to about the silent majority who didn't always shout the loudest but who she knew were in her corner. i am somewhat embarrassed to say that i was at times part of that silent majority. i don't do social media and would shout at the tv or get upset at home instead. over the past 48 hours, people have not been silent. they have been vocal and passionate and have spoken from the heart, with genuine emotion and no hidden agendas. jo would have loved it. we have to continue with strength and solidarity in the days, months, and years to come. part of jo's legacy and to focus on as jo would say that which unites us and not which divides us. for now, our family is broken. but we will mend over time. and we will never let jo leave our lives. she will live on through all of that is beautiful in the world. to brendan, to us, and to her truly wonderful children who will always know what an utterly amazing woman their mother was. she was a human being, and she was perfect. thank you. >> thanks again. [ applause ] >> as you can see, very emotional statement that was made there by jo cox's sister. of course, a devastating loss for that family. very difficult times for that family ahead and what's so interesting, george, many times when something like this happens and you have a family statement that's written, it's very often sort of a scripted event. people come out, they read a statement, and then they leave, but in this case you could tell it was completely heart felt and afterwards, the parents of jo cox and her sister as well, they didn't just go away. they actually stayed there and spoke to other members of the community. you can tell that they were getting strength from this community that has shown so much support for the family in the wake of these tragic events, george. >> it wasn't scripted, and it was straight from the heart and her sister saying she will live on to all the people in the world. fred, thank you so much. this is cnn "newsroom." still ahead, donald trump, he is fighting back after a group of republicans launch a movement to dump trump at next month's convention. why he says he is confident of his nomination. still ahead. plus, we are less than 50 days away from the rio olympics but a funding emergency could slow down preparations there. stay with us. be the you who doesn't cover your moderate to severe plaque psoriasis. be the you who shows up in that dress. who hugs a friend. who is done with treatments that don't give you clearer skin. be the you who controls your psoriasis with stelara® just 4 doses a year after 2 starter doses. stelara® may lower your ability to fight infections and may increase your risk of infections and cancer. some serious infections require hospitalization. before treatment, get tested for tuberculosis. before starting stelara® tell your doctor if you think you have an infection or have symptoms such as: fever, sweats, chills, muscle aches or cough. always tell your doctor if you have any signs of infection, have had cancer, if you develop any new skin growths or if anyone in your house needs or has recently received a vaccine. alert your doctor of new or worsening problems, including headaches, seizures, confusion and vision problems these may be signs of a rare, potentially fatal brain condition. some serious allergic reactions can occur. do not take stelara® if you are allergic to stelara® or any of its ingredients. most people using stelara® saw 75% clearer skin and the majority were rated as cleared or minimal at 12 weeks. be the you who talks to your dermatologist about stelara®. the city of orlando is planning a candelight vigil sunday night remembering the 49 people killed in last weekend's shooting at the pulse nightclub. five families buried their loved ones on saturday. one victim, corey connell had planned to become a firefighter so the orange county fire department named him an honorary firefighter. people in berlin are playing tribute to victims of that nightclub massacre as well. several thousand people gathered for a vigil in berlin to pay their respects to the victims and to show solidarity with the lgbt community. the gate was illuminated in rainbow colors there as you see to commemorate the victims. some republican delegates are trying to block donald trump from becoming that party's presidential nominee. they are part of a coalition that wants to dump trump at the party's convention in july but trump doesn't seem too worried about it. listen. >> there's an insurgent group, the same group that i beat is insurgent. there are a couple of guys that are trying to go -- they are trying to get delegates. i thought they already tried that. i could give you names but i won't because it's meaningless. first of all, it's illegal, second of all, you can't do it, and third of all, we, not me, we got 14, almost 14 million votes. 14 million votes in the primary system. [ cheers and applause ] so that's more votes than ever received in the primaries in the history of the republican party. >> and outside that rally, in arizona saturday, look at that, protesters blew up a giant inflatable mock-up of trump. the trump you see right here is wearing what appears to be a ku klux klan style robe standing next to a sign that says, quote, make america hate again." cnn's john king explains. >> crooked hillary. >> temperamentally unfit. >> if you listen to the candidates, it's rock em, sock em, donald trump and crooked hillary. >> when millions couldn't get health care, this first lady work with republicans and democrats to fix it. >> why is hillary clinton doing that? both donald trump and hillary clinton have sky-high unfavorability ratings. 54% of americans say they view hillary clinton unfavorably. they don't like her. 66% said they view donald trump unfavorably. both of these candidates, five months to election day, you need to change this. she's on the air with these soft ads saying hillary clinton cares about children, fighting for you. she's doing it in places like colorado, nevada, ohio, interestingly, north carolina, romney won it in 2012. obama in 2008. hillary clinton with her early advertising trying to stretch the map. donald trump is not running any ads and that has republicans frustrated. 55% of americans right now say they have a favorable view of president obama. he's above water if you will. above 50%. if you put him on this chart it would be 43% have an unfavorable view of president obama. these are the two people who want to replace this guy. he's doing okay. that tells you these two have a lot of work to do. so if you are watching this election, one of questions you get a lot is when you travel the country, what about the libertarians, third party candidacy, is that possible? it's a problem for her. it's a crisis for him. we're in that critical phase right now and the clinton campaign has unity in the party, has resources in the bank, is beginning to use those resources to try to change these bad numbers and a lot of republicans are saying mr. trump, mr. trump, you have to do things differently. his answer has been i did it this way in the primaries and it work for me. >> john king there for us. speaking of trump, his campaign released an emergency fundraising email on saturday after hillary clinton's campaign aired its first general election attack ad earlier this week. the message reads as follow. right now, we're facing an emergency goal of $100,000 to help get our ads on the air. we need your contributions by 11:59 p.m. tonight. crooked hillary is about to invade your tv with ads attacking mr. trump but we're preparing to fight back. end that quote. the urgent email is particularly notable since trump has repeatedly insisted that he is self-funding his campaign. i want to tell you about a situation in santa barbara, california right now, a large wildfire forcing mandatory evacuations with nearly 2,000 firefighters called in to fight this fire. our meteorologist is here to tell us more. >> there's been a significant improvement in the containment of this sherpa fire known locally in that area. we'll talk about the details in a second. look at the footage new to the region. some of the firefighters battling that blaze. mandatory evacuations remain for many canyon areas north of santa barbara. this order includes about 270 structures. the officials around the area expect or estimate june 23rd to be the date of full containment of this fire but it's not only the sherpa fire. there's the cedar fire in navajo county, california. in new mexico, there's also the dog head fire, over 1,700 acres burning across that area and only 9% containment. look at this. i came across this image from santa barbara, california, of a fire tornado or a firenado. unbelievable image. you can see the motion here. quite a sight and very rare to pick one of those on camera. by the way, this is the details over 7,800 acres burned so far in the santa barbara county fire. sherpa fire, 45% contain many. it's so large, the smoke is visible from one of the satellites. you can see it drifting across the pacific ocean. we've got the she werea fire -- sherpa fire and cedar fire still burning, over new mexico, of course. this dc-10 trying to put out the fire with fire retardant. we've had an active wildfire season. we have heat advisories and warnings in effect and we can break longstanding records for temperatures today. especially into the phoenix, arizona area. 117 on monday, 120 today. in brazil, rio is declaring a state of emergency, a state of financial emergency. organizers of the olympics say they aren't worried. the mayor is calling it a state of ka lality -- clamity. how do you square that circle? that's next. wannwith sodastream®er? you turn plain water into sparkling water in seconds. and because it's so delicious, you'll drink 43% more water every day. sodastream®. love your water. "you don't want to live with mom and dad forever, do you?" "well...i'm not changing." "how do i check my credit score?" "credit karma. don't worry, it's free." "credit karma. give yourself some credit." in less than seven week, the world will turn its attention to the rio olympics, but the host nation brazil is in the middle of a political crisis. south america's largest economy is also facing its worst recession in more than 80 years. our senior international correspondent nick payton walsh has more. >> reporter: rio state authorities declared a state of emergency, a financial calamity quote when they put a declaration out in an official publicly indication. at the end of the day appealing to the federal government of brazil for extra money, potentially a billion dollars worth according to media reports here to help them out with what is already a $5 billion debt they have manage to accrue. we've seen how it's impacting hospitals here and universities, the police who are struggling to find the money they need to go through the security programs in rio to get it ready for the games, but this declaration proved that things are significantly worse than anybody necessarily thought. it's brought a sense of shock to many longer term observers here. the broader question is where it will come from. the billion dollars, it may come from the federal government. is it using the olympic games as leverage to get money out of the federal government to improve local services here. possibly yes. we don't know if that proves successful here. but it's added another hurdle or moment of concern when it comes to the olympics, under 50 days away from now. we know there's a political and economic crisis. a zika outbreak that has many athletes debating whether they will attend. we also know the financial crisis in rio has gotten to the point where they are making public declarations of calamity. there's a risk it may sour the climate and also the one thing, we don't know the ability for the infrastructure of the games to be ready. all promises have been kept that things will be there on time but one example, the subway that's supposed to take people from the beaches behind me to the olympic park itself, that's only going to be ready four days before the games begin. a lot cutting it tight. great concerns only mounting here in rio. >> economic problems, the zika issue, and then political problems and the olympics just around the corner in brazil. that wraps up this hour of cnn "newsroom." i'm george howell

brexit vote looming, the leave and remain campaigns are due to hit the campaign trail once again. we'll have live reports from both the remain and leave rallies set to take place later on this sunday. first i am join by reverend paul knight who just led the church service inside the church here, sir. good to see you, first of all. >> and you as well. >> tell me what sort of emphasis were you trying to make during this church service. we've been here for the past couple of days and it's been such a hard time for this community and the family as well. >> it has. we rejoice what jo was able to accomplish during her short time as a member of parliament. there is always hope and what she was was a shining example of the way that we can work together and should work together, and so we've been thinking this morning about the story of the good samaritan and out of that extraordinary circumstance, we get the story that jesus told, gives us that way of helping each other whatever their creed and nationality, that's what jo did. >> that's interesting. that's the gist we've been getting as well and i saw the letters from children of nine and ten years old wrote, saying they came to our school and she was someone they felt spoke to them from the heart and could really feel their problems. >> the letters were written by muslim children. i don't know if you picked that up. the leaders came the other day and left those with us and they are a lovely tribute and the community sees our working together for unity which is one of her great passions and that's the christian message that god wants us to be one, he created us to be one and we come up against these silly separations. we create anger which hurts when really we should be caring and loving each other. >> how is her family dealing with all this? we saw them yesterday. they were in a great deal of pain obviously but at the same time they seemed quite happy with the way this community was remembering her as well. >> indeed. i was able to talk to them at the square in birstall a little bit and offer them condolences. there was a tension. they were disturbed because this should never have happened and the craziness of the occasion. but at the same time they were bouyed up and people were there to support them and all people around the world, and i am sure they are aware of the prayers being said in this church and i suspect around the world this morning for them. >> how shocked is this community? the fact that it happened here in this community is really something that seems to have taken a lot of people aback, thinking that this kind of violence would happen, thinking -- from all appearances, this kind of hey dread would have been here. >> yes, sure, because this is a noble kind of country, village, town, whatever it is. everybody says nothing ever happens here, but it did, so from shock, we're getting into a period of talking about it, of sharing with each other some of the good things that jo did and i've heard those stories from individuals who have been helped through her work and perhaps we're finding out what the real jo was like in that. >> what's going to continue today? this wasn't the last church service today that also remembers her. >> no, no. of course, churches all over this area are doing much the same as we are. this is our normal service but we're recognizing the contribution that jo has made in it as we also pray for her. the first service was a traditional service. we had the organ, the hymns and a sing. we're going to remember jo and give thanks to her life. >> as a member of parliament, she played a role with the local church here as well. how do you remember her? >> she spoke to a meeting that i organized just after her election from the churches from this area and she was so bubbly and enthusiastic and she -- already just a couple days after the election, was wanting -- clearly wanting to help the community. after all, it was her community. she grew up just over the hill here, and that's how i remember her, somebody who was determined and passionate about helping people. >> certainly. thank you very much, reverend paul knight for speaking with us. thank you very much, sir. and later this week, the u.k. will vote on whether to leave the 28-member group that is, of course, the european union and campaigners from the leave campaign are already getting ready in london. that rally is set to kick off very soon. of course, you have the rally of the remain campaign, which is taking place in london today as well. we're going to get live reports from those rallies later on in this hour, but first of all, political tensions have erupted over the debate in the u.k. the past couple of months and on the surroundings of all of this, the tone that currently is taking place, we are seeing that the country now has really moved into a different stage. you can feel that there's a lot of people here who were almost ashamed at some of the political rhetoric that had been taking place over the past couple of months as the brexit vote was coming closer and it really seems as though the murder of jo cox, this terrible event that took place, is something that that's really brought people together again. a lot of them now are speaking very differently, and i am joined now by joe molhall in our london office. how do you think that the rhetoric here in this country has change with the mur of jo cox? >> it's difficult to say at the moment as we're just about to see the relaunch of the campaigns around the referendum. all we can home is that the rhetoric that we see going forward in the next few days is much, much more elevated than what we've been seeing in the last few months. we just have to hope in the next few days we have a debate that's more around about ideas and talks about the issues and keeps away from some of the really ugly toxic rhetoric that we've seen over the last few months. >> it's interesting. because one of things that we're looking out for, especially when we look at the rallies of leave campaign leading up to the brexit vote is are some of the issues going to change as well? over the past couple of weeks, the last couple of months, it's been that toxic issue we've seen around the world, which is immigration, refugees coming to countries like this one, and, of course, also, border protection as well. do you think that is going to change? that we're going to be talking more about economic issues and we're going to be talking more about -- more about substance rather than emotional politics? >> i would love to think so. i would really like to see -- we shift toward that. i don't have complete confidence in that. if we look at some of the tactic that we've seen over the last few months, both sides of this campaign, in some senses, have played on fear and it's been a pretty toxic debate. i mean, there are aspects of the leave campaign over the last few months that have been genuinely toxic. i think that peaked last week with the whole pan banner of refugees saying breaking point. i would hope that's as bad as it gets. now we see after this terrible, terrible tragedy, hopefully we see the dbility moved in a more progressive manner. every time we've seen it get as bad as it would get, it's gone and got worse. i think we'll see continuing issues with immigration. it's a card people are playing. hopefully it will shift toward other issues. absolutely. >> we know we're still in the very early stages of the investigation into the suspect who possibly did all this, but do you think that a vile campaign like the ones that were being run or the rhetoric that was being spewed before this murder took place, do you think that that could have had an effect to bring someone over the top to move from, you know, political anger to actually doing something very bad, to actually, you know, hurting someone, harming someone? >> it's very difficult. there's very little we can say right now that he's been arrested. he's going through the court system. there's very little we're allowed to say. i'm cautious on what may have motivated him. what we can say is there was no surprise when we see rhetoric that we've seen the last few months, we're reaching a breaking point is what we keep hearing, we have to take britain back. we have to take it back. we have seen reactions from the traditional far right, aspects of the far right which have talk about this being the last opportunity we have to take control of brit an. we have seen very parts of the far right talking about violence over the last two or three months. we've seen various groups, just two week ago, we saw various far right group engaging in knife training, for example. we've seen them generally become more fractured and violent. the rhetoric we would expect to hear from the far right we've heard from the voices. i can't comment on the motives of the murder of jo cox, but what we can say that the rhetoric has been deeply deeply irresponsible. >> yeah, it certainly has on really almost all sides of the equation. thank you very much, joe mulhall for joining us. we are talking about the fact that both the leave and the remain campaign has restarted their campaigning today after freezing their campaigns over the past couple of days, after these tragic events with the murder of jo cox, and we are now able to go to our own becky anderson who is at a rally for the leave campaign and tell me, becky, what is the mood like, of course, in this very difficult time in the wake of this jo cox murder. what is the mood look at that rally? >> reporter: it's an interesting question, isn't it and you've been discussing that with your guests, this fairly somber mood after the death of jo cox last thursday. we've been speaking to people who are now going into this event, the first planned event for the leave campaign since jo's death. we've been speaking to those who are on their way in, and you get this sense that people here are hoping to see the narrative to swing back to talk of the economy and why they believe a brexit or leaving the eu would be better for britain. those who are leading this campaign and most famously perhaps the name that many of our viewers would recognize, the former mayor of london, boris johnson will be speaking here within the next hour or so. this, by the way, is a ticketed event. the organizers have told us that they ticketed for a thousand people. they say they are expecting something like 1,600. this is in the city of london. i'm watching the qoous as they stand in the hoemt. we're only seeing 150 people here but it's about 45 minutes to go before the start of this event. we're expecting to hear from boris johnson and from the justice minister for the government here, a man by the name of michael gove. he sits in a cabinet run by the prime minister in the u.k., david cameron who is the leading campaigner on the stay in the eu campaign, and this morning an oped if you will by david cameron no turning back warns david cameron, he says this would be an irreversible decision. it would be awful for the u.k., nothing he's written in this newspaper today would surprise you. it's what he's been saying for some time. ramming home the idea that britain is better in than out according to the prime minister and there is no turning back should the u.k. vote to leave the european union on thursday this week. he says, there will be no opportunity to get back in and were europe to accept britain back in or britain to decide that it's actually made a mistake going forward, well then we have -- the u.k. would have to join the euro and various other things that the u.k. hasn't had to do in the past, so, i mean, a massive argument being made by the prime minister and his colleagues this morning to stay. on the leave side and those you'll be hearing from on this campaign have also been speaking ton the television shows this morning and once again making the argument that britain is best economically out of the eu and i think what is important this morning is to see very little talk, to be honest, about immigration. a lot more talk about the economy and that's no real surprise given that the rhetoric had been so divisive in the run-up to jo cox's death. i think this sense that the far right had sort of taken over the leave campaigns rhetoric which as you've been describing fred has been quite vile and disgraceful at times according to many people, i think you will see it today and tomorrow focused on the economy rather than perhaps other issues. two polls just important to note this morning. the sunday times has a poll showing the poll very much narrowing at the moment and showing actually remaining one point ahead of the leave campaign but another leading newspaper putting the leave dpan a couple of points ahead with 9% undivide -- decided. caveat, of late, election polling in the u.k. has been less than successful as it were. it hasn't been calling the vote correct. so i'm not sure how much credence we can put in these polls but certainly we are seeing this race narrowing once again with five days to go, fred. >> thank you very much, becky anderson, for thap analysis. of course, you are absolutely right. very important time in britain. it's very difficult for these campaigns to move forward now because on the one hand, of course, you have these tragic events that took place here only a couple of days ago. you have the mourning that still is very much ongoing for jo cox, the remembrance of anything she did for this local community, for politics in britain, some of the things she did her short time. in particle men, you have a very real criminal investigation ongoing as well and at the same time you have arguably one of most important political decisions that this country will have made over the past decade, only a couple of days away, george. certainly a very complex situation here in this country right now, where this campaigning is now picking up, while at the same time, of course, the remembrance is still going on, george. >> it is an interesting moment in this debate, fred as you point out. the focus right now on jo cox, less talk about immigration, more talk about the economy as becky just pointed out and the polls narrowing. iraq says it has dealt a major blow to isis. the very latest from fallujah as we return, plus belgium authorities arrested several suspects in an anti terror operation that spanned the country. we'll hear from one expert on why some belgians may be drawn to groups like isis. stay with us. hmmmmmm..... hmmmmm...

>> reporter: they have made significant progress. what we've seen in the last 48 to 72 hours is a rapid advance by iraqi forces from the south. they have basically cornered isis in the northern neighborhoods of fallujah, and what has surprised a lot of people, certainly the soldiers on the ground, they expected more resistance from isis. this was a city isis took control of in january 2014. it's highly important for them in terms of symbolism, but it seems that they may have taken a decision to preserve their resources, to avoid all of their fighters dying in the process of defending a city that is for all intents and purposes on the verge of falling completely to the iraqi government. nonetheless, as the iraqi forces go forward, push ahead in street-to-street fighting, clearly this battle is not over yet. to save fallujah from isis, iraqi forces have destroyed vast expanses of this city, block after block, one flattened building after another. in military parlance, the city was offended up before the push into the center of fallujah by days of heavy bombardment from land and air. we're in this iraqi army humvee heading inside one of the neighborhoods in southeast fallujah. we've already heard small arms fire crackling inside and also heard the thud of incoming artillery rounds so we'll see what we find inside. i asked soldiers in the humvee if daesh, the arabic acronym for isis, is still inside the city? no, responds the 12-year army veteran. there is no daesh. he qualifies his statement. there are pockets one or two here fighting here and there. the pockets, we soon discovered, were many and they seemed deep. this is a neighborhood in central fallujah. it was until day before yesterday under the control of isis. now we see lots of iraqi troops and humvees in this part of the town. what we're not seeing are any civilians. this officer asked to be called abu encountered civilians fleeing the fighting. they were in a bad way, exhausted he says. they were suffering from lack of food and water. iraqi officials expected stiffer resistance in fallujah, the first major city seized by isis two and a half years ago. but iraqi forces have managed to push rapidly inside. officers insist resistance is at best scattered. there are still a few snipers and we're dealing with them says this man and soon we'll finish them off. one group of fighters did manage to liberate an isis banner, the liberation of the city, however, is still a work in progress. and, of course, as this one of the concerns at the moment is as the battle winds down, is the humanitarian situation, the iraqi prime minister put out a statement last night, saying that the government is going to mobilize resources to try to attend to the needs of these people. keep in mind, for instance, george, over the 2 1/2 years that isis ran fallujah, they never had a campaign of basic vaccinations, the iraqi government is trying to scramble to get thing such typhoid injections. the former president of egypt, mohammed morsi has been sentenced to life in prison following an espionage trial. he was sentenced in an egyptian court of passing classified documents to quatar, six of his co-defendants were sentenced to death. a defense attorney says he expected to appeal that verdict. morsi was overthrown by the military in 2013. and on to belgium, raids came after possible threats to belgian fans that were gathering to watch the euro 2016 games. nine other people were later questioned. football-related events will go on as planned but with extra security. >> translator: the message that we want to pass is one of determination. a message of serenity, a message of calm. all the scheduled events in the coming days will go on with added security measures. so the message is the security council as well as the security services are extremely vigilant. we are monitoring the situation hour by hour, and we will continue to conduct this battle with great determination, this battle against extremism, radicalism and terrorism. people are remembering british mp jo cox with a moving church service. we will have the very latest from birstall, england, ahead. plus an impatient driver caused tensions during the funeral procession of the one of the orlando victim's funeral. details next. s your toughest stuck-on food. so let your dishwasher be the dishwasher. this turned out great. cascade. they keep telling me "drink more water."

people gathered to remember the life of jo cox. she was murdered on thursday. in iraq, defenses in place for isis, collapsed in fallujah friday as government forces pushed into the heart of that city, but by saturday morning the battle was still on. iraq's prime minister said on television friday the city has been liberated but added that pockets of resistance still remain. the former president of egypt, mohammed morsi has been sentenced to life in prison over charges of spawdges. he was -- espionage. he was egypt's first democratically elected president but was overthrown by the military in 2013. and welcome back to our viewers. i'm fred pleitgen. we're at the st. peter's church. the outpouring of support has been a constant fixture in this country since jo cox's death on thursday. every day, makeshift memorials and vigils are popping up throughout the entire nation. there's been a sizeable crowd here as well all gathered for the same purpose to remember a woman who meant a great deal to this community. now, lisa holmes knew jo cox personally. she joins me now. madam, thank you for joining us this morning. you were a friend of jo cox. tell me how you remember her. >> i knew jo through my work as a counseller maybe. she was great. easy to get along that. she was so warm and very kind to everyone and we're destroyed. >> one of things that people have been telling us was special about her was that in this fast world of national politics, and also, you know, with some heated rhetoric, she was someone who had a great deal of empathy for the people of this community and could feel the way that they do. >> yeah, definitely because i think jo grew up here. she went to school in the area, i think it was always a home, although she had lived in london and indeed around the world but jo's heart was with us and i think that was shown when she was elected as our mp. >> tell us about some of the international things that she did. she was very much rooted in this community but very much active on an international level as well. >> sure. jo work for ox-pham. she had a strong voice for refugees. she wanted to speak for those who couldn't speak for themselves. >> what was your first emotion when you heard that this happened? i know it's horrible for this community, it's horrible for everybody who knew her. what was her first reaction? >> we didn't believe that. we couldn't believe that somebody would do that to jo. we are still -- i've just been to lay flowers, it's heart breaking. >> i'm sure it is. it's very difficult. do you know how her family is coping with it? >> yeah, my ward colleague, david hall went to school with jo and he went to see her parents yesterday and it hasn't sunk in yet, but they are coping together. >> we've been talking about how -- a lot about how she would want to be remembered and how she would feel about the way that she's being remembered right now. what do you think would be important to her to, you know, what sort of message she would want the world to take away from all of this, as horrible as it is, of course? >> she would have wanted everybody to still carry on, probably be more careful, but she wouldn't have anybody, counselors, mps to stop being part of the communities and stop seeing people because that's what she did so well and she wanted to be accessible and i think she would really not want that change but maybe a bit safer. >> that's the thing. was anything like this, did anybody see this coming? is the safety of mps and politicians an issue here? >> i've been concerned for some time. i think we have a lot of members of the community who maybe have mental health issues and, unfortunately, i think that is something we do need to now consider seriously. we're surprised to what happened to jo. unfortunately, i wasn't surprised that something like this could happen. >> lisa holmes, thank you for joining us today. as you can see, george, there is still obviously a lot of grief here in this community, not just among the immediate family of jo cox, not just among the people who are coming here. we also have richard quest who is at a rally for the remain campaign i believe. what is the mod like there after these tragic events? >> good morning to you from hyde park in central london. the rally is due to start in just about an hour or so, fred, maybe just a little bit longer, and the significance of this rally is it will be the first major event that has taken place for the campaigning since campaigning restarted this morning. on the sunday morning television shows, all of the protagonists for both remain and leave were on tv this morning putting their arguments, so campaigning has restarted in the referendum. there's going to be -- there's a rally for leave in london which becky anderson is covering. i'm here in hyde park. look, at the moment, we just don't know, fred, how big this is going to be. they say perhaps up to a thousand people will gather. there will be some local dignitaries, there will be some speeches, and the idea is that the goal ultimately is to create a big word in, spell the word in, i-i and take a picture from the air. it's anybody's guess if they will get a hundred or a thousand, but the significance is it's in central london, in hyde park, and that campaigning for the referendum is now well and truly back under way. >> richard, i was talking to becky a little earlier about this. you say campaigning is under way but at the same time it happens in the wake of these tragic events that have taken place. does that change the nature of the issues that are being discussed? for instance, on the leave side, they talk more about economic issues rather than, for instance, immigration, you know those very divisive issues. are you seeing a more knew answered appropriate there on the remain side as well? >> firstly, and you quite rightly remind me to mention there will be a memo of silence at midday here for the late jo cox, and, you know, this is the difficult part. to some extent, and the british prime minister david cameron writing in the "sunday telegraph" talked about how jo cox embodied and was emblem attic of the spirit of great britain and democracy. the question is how do they manage to mention jo cox without being crass and vulgar and appearing to have -- if you like -- use her murder in the cause of remain or leave, and that's -- that is, you know, let's be honest about it -- that is the difficulty that both sides face to some extent because the revulsion that will follow if either side overtly uses the murder to promote their cause, will be being, the electorate will be brutal in response. now, to your question, how does the tone change? we don't know. both sides say it will become more respectful, more issue-oriented, less personality-driven, let's v vitriolic. on the question of immigration, that's leave's biggest card to play. i suspect you are not going to hear much talk about migrants and immigrants. instead, you are going to hear them talking about taking back control, keeping their borders. you are going to hear less about the people and more about the policy. >> thank you very much for that, richard quest, and indeed that is going to be the fine line that campaigners on both sides are going to have to walk across because on the one hand, you have the terrible and tragic events that happened here, the aftermath still very much going on, the mourning still very much going on, but at the same time we have to keep in mind that this country is about to make arguably the most important political decision in its history in the past couple of decades. so all of that leads to some very interesting days that are going to be ahead here for england, for britain, and we'll remain on top of all of those events as they unfold, george. >> interesting, indeed, to see how the tone of this debate will change given what happened to jo cox and the polls narrowing at the same time. fred live for us. this is cnn "newsroom." still ahead in orlando, florida, more families are burying their loved ones killed in last weekend's shooting at the pulse

rampage. some of them shared their very emotional stories. >> it was a great night. no drama. just smiles. just laughter. >> shots are going all over the place. you start feeling. you can tell at that moment it felt like a war room. there was a lady who was shot next to me and i started to duck and i'm turning around and as i'm turning around, i see the gun. i don't see the guy. i see the gun because of all the flare that's coming out. >> it went with the beat until you heard too many shots. it was like bang, bang, bang. >> we started running and unfortunately, i was shot about three times in my leg, so i had fallen down. i tried to get back up, but everyone started running everywhere. i got trampled over, and i shattered and broke my bones on my left leg. >> we all like kind of rushed into the bathroom, there was maybe 40, 50 people in that one bathroom and he told us -- he said everybody must come out because everybody is going to die. so people started running out frantically and
