[01:00:15] PAULA NEWTON, CNN NEWSROOM ANCHOR: Counting down in Britain as the debate intensifies and both sides in the Brexit campaign try to sway voters at stake. Should the UK stay in or leave the European Union? And -- Party on. Celebrations in Cleveland as King James delivers, bringing the city its first major championship in more than 50 years plus. Thousands gathered to honor the memory of 49 people killed in last week's massacre in Orlando. Hello and welcome to our viewers around the world. I'm Paula Newton. And this is "CNN Newsroom."

British lawmakers are returning to parliament in a few hours to pay tribute to their colleague, Jo Cox, the 41-year-old who was killed Thursday in her electoral district in Northern England. Fifty-two year-old Tommy Mair is charged with her murder. He is due to appear at a bail hearing, Monday. Campaigning on the referendum, deciding whether Britain will remain in the European Union resumes Sunday after a three-day suspension, following Cox's killing. Now, both sides held rallies in London. Prime Minister David Cameron is leading the campaign to remain in the EU. He warns that the votes for Brexit will reduce Britain's global influence.

DAVID CAMERON, BRITISH PRIME MINISTER: Approving through this referendum, right? That if Britain wants to leave this organization, we can. We are a sovereign country. We choose to join NATO or choose to join the EU. And if we choose to leave, we can leave. But let's be clear, if we do leave, that's it. We're walking out of the door, we're quitting, we're giving up on this organization, which even if we leave, will have a huge effect on our lives, on our children, on our opportunities, on our businesses and I don't think Britain at the end is a quitter. I think we stay and fight.

NEWTON: Now, a leave event, former London Mayor, Boris Johnson, urged supporters to take back control of Britain's destiny.

BORIS JOHNSON, FORMER LONDON MAYOR: I want you to cast your minds forward to Friday morning. Very early on Friday morning. And you're slowly coming to conscious liber -- consciousness with a sense of being mildly, perhaps seriously hung over, and you've got around you, you can see half drunk cans of beer and scrambled up crisp packets and the television is still burbling faintly in the corner of the room. And you have a terrible sense that something momentous has happened in the lives of our country and of our -- of the whole of the European Union, my friends. And you're just trying to remember what it is, and then it hits you, with a terrible sense of shock and disappointment, to remain of narrowly one. Imagine that.

NEWTON: Now, the murder of British MP Jo Cox put the Brexit debate on hold for a few days. But campaigning, as you can see, is now under way. Our Nic Robertson is in Birstall where Cox was killed. Nic, you know, there is obviously still a prior debate, we just heard mo -- have heard a lot of it from yesterday evening and yet, how has the toned changed after this tragedy?

NIC ROBERTSON, CNN SENIOR INTERNATIONAL CORRESPONDENT: Yeah, the tone has changed. And both sides were doing talks about that yesterday when they restarted their campaigning. And that there was a real wish, I think, among many people that we've talked to here that that would be the case, and they do say people would told to say, they do feel that it was time for politicians to take a stock and realize just how divisive they were being. It's interesting to look at where the polls were this time last week where the Leave campaign had some momentum, but it was still a lot of people who were undecided about which way they were going to vote. We've been out to talk to people this weekend to get an idea of what sort of impact Jo Cox's murder might have had on their thinking. This is what we found out. Genteel Tearooms. Lines already forming. Yorkshire life in Harrogate not far from where MP Jo Cox was killed, moves on towards the referendum, but not the same.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: It has made me reconsider just because of the causes behind it and I think it should probably be called a racist attack. That was undecided, but it is possibly turning me more to, to vote in and then out.

[01:05:03] ROBERTSON: She is not alone.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: I was going for out before. Now I'm a bit unsure and I'm a bit nervous about doing something a bit different.

ROBERTSON: And yourself?

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: I was definitely going for out all the way and I don't, -- I think I was wavering, and I think this has kind of made me think, you know what? Maybe we best stay in.

ROBERTSON: But men in this beautiful small town seem less easily shaken by Cox's death. Do you think that the killing of Jo Cox is going to make a difference on the outcome?

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: No.

ROBERTSON: Why not?

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: I just don't think it will, I think people will have made up their mind before about how (inaudible).

ROBERTSON: And both convinced leaving the EU, an organization that has at the very least given this tourist town an award for its flowers, is still the right thing to do. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: My mind is in.

ROBERTSON: Would you tell us?

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Hey, I'm -- We're going out. We're going out.

ROBERTSON: Why so?

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Because the place is -- I think it's not too bad, but this place is in the country that's just overrun with too many immigrants, I'm afraid.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: So, I'm voting out.

ROBERTSON: And why is that?

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Because it's good to have a change. It's good to mix the pot a little.

ROBERTSON: This Sunday, a 1940s Remembrance Day Commemoration, a ready reminder when Europe was lost at war. Security and economy on people's minds.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: I've already voted in.

ROBERTSON: And why was that?

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Because of the possibility of the financial impact afterwards.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: In.

ROBERTSON: Why is that?

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: I just think it's a safer option. I've got no evidence to suggest with you better off of it, so.

ROBERTSON: Yeah, it's still not clear if and by how much Jo Cox's horrific killing may impact the outcome of the referendum but you can really begin to see here, there's a possibility that her death may, in fact, significantly now shape the future of this country. Paula?

NEWTON: You know Nic and as you point out, we may never know the truth, no matter how they vote, how this incident impacted the campaign, except to say it's clearly changed the tone. And yet, do you think in a way, the way it's shaken Britain that no matter the outcome, that it will help the country come together, whether they vote to leave, whether they vote to remain, that it will help in a way heal those divisions in Britain?

ROBERTSON: You know, that debate really hasn't begun to happen at the moment. With so much focus on the referendum, which has really heightened the divisions and as we saw until last week, Brit -- brought out and raised the passions with which people view this debate and issue. You know, you have David Cameron criticizing Nigel Farage from the UK independence party for a campaign poster that is even a Leave campaign poster that is even sort of turned off, if you will, some of the other Leave campaigners themselves. So this is a divisive issue, the issue of immigration is perhaps one of the most divisive at the moment. So, the debate about how the country sort of puts that or, or puts that issue to bed after this isn't clear. And I think that this is, it is certainly put into the spotlight how divisive this issue has become over how people see it and feel that the country should deal with the issue. So I think there's a long way to go before, you know, before people are comfortable, sort of coming together and finding a common way for this to absolutely show that it is an issue. Paula?

NEWTON: Yeah, it will be interesting and a lot to mull over as we say no matter what happens on Friday morning. Our Nic Robertson will continue to guide us through with those insights as this debate intensifies the next few days. Our Nic Robertson, thank you.

Now, one image is grabbing a lot of attention from the air. It shows hundred of supporters of the Remain campaign coming together to spell out the word "IN." The image was formed on Sunday when a huge crowd turned up in London's Hyde Park for a rally. And you can learn much more about the issues, including the possible economic impact of the referendum at cnn.com. Now the Cleveland Cavaliers are the 2016 NBA champions. They won a decisive showdown with the defending champs, the Golden State Warriors, that was just hours ago. The game couldn't have been much closer from start to finish. Kate Riley, world sport is here to explain the drama of this. I couldn't take my eyes off the television set and I'm sure a lot of other people were like me. I mean, honestly, if it was in a movie, you would have said, nah, it couldn't have happened that way.

[01:10:04] KATE RILEY, CNN SPORTS ANCHOR AND CORRESPONDENT: Yeah, it was truly incredible. Yeah, absolutely no fingernails left over in "sport," I can tell you that Paula. Yeah, what a fantastic conclusion to this NBA finals that we've seen very rare to even go to game seven. So, to have a game seven and to win it in this manner, yeah, congratulations to the Cleveland Cavaliers. A huge win, because of course, this is their first trophy in 52 years. So yeah, another fine accolade. So, we'll bring in the action now. Game seven, like I said, winner takes all. Cavaliers on the road of course, in offend against the Warriors. Now, like we said, Paula, this game, oh, so tight. You can see here late in the fourth, Cav's down one. It was Lebron who would find the ball and then the game really would come down to the wire, and then in the final minute of the fourth, the game tied at '89. You can see Kyrie Irving, they are making the Cleveland fans very proud indeed. The Cav's would win this one. Fantastic. Look at it. They are the champions of the NBA finals.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: So it's once again --

RILEY: 2016.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE:...the win, NBA champions.

NEWTON: Look at him.

RILEY: Yeah and then amazing scenes there. Our Andy Scholes is in Cleveland for a giant watch party, which are cool, turned into a giant celebration party.

ANDY SCHOLES, SPORTS ANCHOR BASED OUT OF ATLANTA FOR CNN: After 52 years of sports misery, the fans here in Cleveland, hoping, praying, that this would finally be their year and when the final buzzer sounded, the city erupted with pure joy.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: 52 years of frustration. I've been that -- I've been to know that pride and all those stuff, this is what makes it. This is wonderful.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Finally, we did it. My city, Cleveland is finally champion. If you look around at this city right now, this is what we've been longing for. This is what we wanted. We deserve it. We got the greatest fans. We got the greatest player on the planet.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Oh my god, I can't even describe like, Cleveland deserves this. We've been waiting so long. Like, Cleveland needs nice things.

SCHOLES: Now, any championship would have been special for Cleveland but the way they won this one made it extra-special. Coming back from 3-1. First team to ever do that in the NBA finals. Beating the Warriors that were 73 and 9, in the regular season and then having their hometown hero, Lebron James, come back and erase all of those sports tears from over the years. In Cleveland, Ohio. Andy Scholes. Yeah.

RILEY: Yeah, Andy Scholes, but I thank you so much. Looks so much fun and what did we learn, Paula tonight? Cleveland deserves nice things.

NEWTON: Things. Apparently. Go, Cleveland. They don't have any nice things there, they tell us and they wanted really that sports title and they got it. And it was talking about those Cleveland tears. I mean, tears of joy from Lebron Lames tonight. He could not stop crying. It was a man who --

RILEY: Yeah.

NEWTON: -- transform and it was just so emotional. And nice to see that story in sports when these players are paid so much money now, to see, as Lebron said himself, something coming from the heart.

RILEY: Yeah, exactly, and he's a once-in-a-generation player so, fantastic for him to get yet another trophy in his hand.

NEWTON: A good night for basketball fans. Thanks for bringing it to us, Kate. I appreciate it. Now, thousands of people were in Downtown Orlando, Sunday, commemorating the victims of a deadly shooting. We'll show you the stunning sight that made the memorial all the more special plus the effort to contain massive wildfires that are raging in several US states. We'll get the detail, next.

(COMMERCIAL BREAK)

[01:15:44] RILEY: I'm Kate Riley with your CNN world sport headlines. We're into the final matches of the group stages at the Euro 2016 competition. Group "a" in action on Sunday where Albania made history by defeating Romania one-nil and winning their first ever major tournament game. They finished third to keep their chances alike to the round of 16. In the other match, France and Switzerland played the top spot in the group Les Bleus, Paul Pogba. And Dimitri Payet both hit the crossbar, for the he match would finish nil-nil. France topped the group while the Swiss finished second.

Meanwhile, the tournament continues to be marred by crowd trouble. Three more teams have been hit with charges by UEFA. The Hungarian federation will have a case on for Tuesday after their supporters created chaos during the game on Saturday with Iceland. Belgium and Portugal are also in trouble with the tournament organizer. A date for their hearings is to yet be set.

Some were predicting the first ever formula-one grand prix announced by John will be a demolition derby in buckle tight street circuit, but in the end, it was a straightforward race with Nico Rosberg extending his lead at the drivers standing. Rosberg handed his Mercedes on pole position, after his teammate Louis Hamilton crashed and qualify, and he was in control. On Sunday, the German claims his fifth win of the season and it's now 25 points play of Hamilton in the driver standings. And that's a look at all your sports headlines. I'm Kate Riley.

NEWTON: In Afghanistan, a suicide bomber struck a minibus carrying security guards in the capital Kabul. The Afghan interior ministry says the blast killed at least 14 people and wounded 8. The passengers were mainly Nepali nationals. Taliban claimed responsibility for the blast in a message to media outlets.

In Florida, thousands came together in downtown Orlando Sunday, to remember the tragedy that struck the city a week ago. Forty-nine people were killed in a mass shooting at the gay nightclub, Pulse. There's been an outpouring of love and support from around the country. But in Orlando, a simple coincidence proved to be the most poignant memorial yet. A rainbow, a universal symbol for LGBT rights appeared above the crowd, wow, look at that. And the moment wasn't the only surprise at the event. Our Ed Lavandera has the details.

ED LAVENDERA, CNN CORRESPONDENT: When this event was organized a week ago, the organizer tells me that she expected maybe 100 people to show up. But on Sunday night here in downtown Orlando, on the banks of the lake, some 50,000 people turned out for this memorial service and candlelight vigil for those who were killed and gunned down in the deadly shoot-out there at the Pulse nightclub a week ago. An unbelievable sight outpouring of grief and public emotion appeared at this vigil. It's staggering to see the numbers of people who have come out here to show their support for the survivors and the victims and the victim's relatives, as well. But Monday will also be a day where we learn so much more about what happened inside of the Pulse nightclub more than a week ago. The authorities plan on releasing transcripts, partial transcripts of the conversations they had with the killer during the attack inside of the pulse nightclub. They said that is news that will emerge later on today.

NEWTON: There's Ed Lavandera.

Oakland, California, police department, is now under civilian control. This is after three police chiefs have been fired or resigned in the span of just nine days. CNN Nick Valencia has the details on the scandals rocking the department.

NICK VALENCIA, CNN CORRESPONDENT: The message this week outside of Oakland police Department Headquarters was clear and deliberate.

UNIDENTIFEID FEMALE: We're here saying that OPD is rotten to its core.

VALENCIA: Rocked by two separate scandals, members of the public and city officials are fast losing faith in the department.

[01:20:01] LIBBY SCHAAF, MAYOR OF OAKLAND: As mayor of Oakland, I am here to run a police department, not a frat house.

VALENCIA: On Friday, Mayor Libby Schaaf addressed allegations of wide spread police misconduct including a sex scandal, involving the exploitation of a teenager and racist text messages sent within the Oakland P.D.

SCHAAF: I want to ensure the citizens of Oakland, that we are hell- bent on rooting out this disgusting culture and holding those accountable, responsible for their misdeeds.

VALENCIA: It all started last fall with the suicide of an officer. Officials say an investigation into his death uncovered disturbing allegations. Within months, an 18-year-old allegedly had sex with him, as well as a number of other officers from Oakland P.D. and surrounding police departments.

NOEL GALLO, OAKLAND CITY COUNCILMAN: We may have to go do this complete federal oversight of our police department.

VALENCIA: Oakland City Councilman Noel Gallo has watched the fallout. In just nine days, three police chiefs have been fired or resigned. One chief lasted only five days. Meanwhile, there are also reports that African-American officers within the OPD, exchange racist text messages with each other. The content of the messages had not made public.

SCHAAF: We not only hold people accountable for engaging in unacceptable hate speech but also for tolerating it.

VALENCIA: The department is already on a short leash with the Feds over police misconduct, dating back to 2003. It's now under civilian leadership.

SCHAAF: I feel that this is an appropriate time to place civilian oversight over this police department. And to send a very clear message about how serious we are of not tolerating misconduct, unethical behavior and to root out what is clearly a toxic, macho culture.

VALENCIA: The mayor of Oakland would not offer a timeline into the sexual assault investigation but said that the investigation into the racist texts could be wrapped up as soon as this week. Nick Valencia, CNN, Atlanta.

NEWTON: A revolt is growing within the Republican Party as some members launch an effort to dump presumptive presidential nominee, Donald Trump. Chris Fates tells us how they hope to do that.

CHRIS FRATES, CNN CORRESPONDENT: A small of group of Republican delegates is pushing through the party to adopt this so-called, Conscience Clause that would allow delegates to vote against Donald Trump. Now a convention coup has a little shot at success for a couple of reasons. Number 1, Trump has installed his own loyalists on the convention's most important committee, so he has got a lot of influence there. And perhaps, more importantly, there's no alternative candidate to Trump. The Never-Trumpers had been unable to find someone to find anyone to challenge Donald Trump. But the groups and top Republicans who have been critical of Trump have gotten the billionaire's attention.

DONALD TRUMP, AMERICAN BUSIMAN: They shouldn't be talking so much. They should go out and do their job. Let me do my job. I have tremendous support from both politicians and the people. Tremendous support. Unfortunately, the media just likes to cover really a small number of people that maybe have something to say. I think they should go about their work. Let me run for president, I think I'm going to do very well.

VALENCIA: Still, it's Trump's own rhetoric that has helped keep the Dump Trump movement alive. He's commented a judge hearing a lawsuit against him at a conflict of interest because he was of Mexican descent, were called a racist by members of his own party. And when he double-downed on his policy to ban Muslim immigration in the wake of the Orlando shootings, top Republicans again opposed that idea with House Speaker Paul Ryan even suggesting the House might sue a President Trump to stop that ban. And with the general election under way, Republicans that hoped Trump would tone it down a little bit and act more presidential, something Trump had said he'll do as soon as he is president. And many Republicans worry that if he doesn't do it sooner, he'll never get that chance.

NEWTON: That was Chris Frates reporting from Washington. Massive wildfires are burning in three U.S. States. The fire in Southern California has charred more than 3,000 hectares of land that started on Wednesday. And officials think it may be another four days at least before it's fully contained. In New Mexico, the so-called Dog Head Fire has grown to more than 7,000 hectares of flames that destroyed several dozen homes. Another large wildfire is also burning in the State of Arizona. We want to get the latest on these fires as Pedram Javaheri joins me now here in studio. You know, it is depressing when you say this is what's going on with these wildfire and this is the beginning of the hot --

PEDRAM JAVAHERI, METEOROLOGIST AND WEATHER ANCHOR, CNN: Absolute beginning. Yeah, you know, summer hasn't officially started yet. The first day of summer, later today, so this kind of tells you where we have ahead of us potentially when it comes to extreme heat and it's the hottest start ever to have the summer season as well, Paula, so.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Hottest start.

[01:25:02] JAVAHERI: Hot, it's incredible, yeah. We start that over and over with the other parts of the year. And now, summer is starting on a hot note, hotter than what they would expect and the record now of the temperature is remarkable when you think about what is potentially in store here. Some of these records have been standing for decades. Cities like Phoenix, Las Vegas, Winslow, down towards Los Angeles, could set record temperatures over the next of about 24 so hours. In some of these cities, and again, we touched on the seasons changing over the next several hours, 22:34 UTC if you're keeping track along this day of the year across the Northern Hemisphere, summer begins and across the southern hemisphere, the opposite perspective of course. The shortest day of the year is winter arrives as well. But the image is just staggering from this region and the fire, Paula, touched on the amount of Atlanta's which consumed across portions of California. You noticed the next door in the State of Arizona and they're next door from them in the State of New Mexico.

When you combine the amount of land consumed, it's actually greater than the size of the city of Paris. So again, incredible area when it comes to who has been impacted by. You look at the satellite perspective in parts of California, the smoke that's actually drifting offshore. That's good news for the vast majority of the population there. On into Arizona, we've had air quality alerts that have been in place across this region. About 30 million people underneath hot, excessive heat advisories, as well. Most of these temperatures, well above the average, and places like Phoenix at 47 degrees. That would be among the top five hottest temperatures ever observed in Las Vegas. Here's your first week of summer, it cools off. But it cools off to 43 degrees. So this is again, a big-time concern for that region of the United States. Opposite end of the spectrum, we talked about summer starting, a cool start across parts of Europe. But Paula, what happens in the next couple of days, the temperature is just flying rapidly into the 30s across places like Paris.

NEWTON: Oh so finally, summer.

JAVAHERI: Summer got it right.

NEWTON: You're better right. I know they've been waiting for it in Europe. So thanks so much for updating us. I appreciate it.

Now, refugees in Greece have to use Skype to apply for asylum. But it's a routine some families go through daily without reaching anyone on the other side.

(COMMERCIAL BREAK)

[01:30:19] NEWTON: Welcome back to our viewers around the world. You're watching CNN NEWSROOM. I'm Paula Newton. Our top stories this hour --

(HEADLINES)

NEWTON: South Korea's National Intelligence Service warns ISIS may be targeting the U.S. military in their country. The NIS says the terror group released information about U.S. Air Force bases in South Korea and is encouraging attacks on those facilities.

Our Paula Hancocks joins us now with more from Seoul, South Korea.

Paula, is there an indication -- of course, they're going to alert people to this. But is there an indication of how credible the threat is?

PAULA HANCOCKS, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Well, at this point, Paula, we have the statement from the NIS. What they have said is that they believe that ISIS is actually targeting 77 U.S. and NATO Air Force facilities around the world. They say there are individuals, as well, that personal information has been published from about 21 different countries. And the NIS certainly feels that this information is credible enough to come out with this public statement. The intelligence agency doesn't often come out with public statements but certainly feels that there's a need in this case.

So, we have about 28,500 U.S. troops here in South Korea. And it's something the U.S. military will be concerned about. We are expecting a statement from them regarding this later today. But we know from the NIS they believe the hacking department of ISIS has hacked in to the U.S. Air Force bases and other individuals. They mentioned there was one individual, South Korean, from a welfare organization. No other details at this point. It's very confusing as to why one individual would be targeted in that way. But they say that individual is now under protection.

And they are saying that ISIS has called through the telegram messaging service, for attacks against these facilities. Certainly, it's as much of a concern for the NIS to publicize this.

ISIS is not a threat in South Korea and hasn't been in the past. It's not necessarily something many South Koreans have considered when they consider possible attacks. They're looking north. They're considering what pressure North Korea can put on them.

Certainly, over recent months, we've seen the NIS mentioning ISIS more. They say 50 individuals over the past five years have been deported because they have links to terrorist organizations. And also, two South Korean citizens were found to try and join ISIS. They were caught -- Paula?

NEWTON: And yet, this statement is quite dramatic. You said we were going to get reaction from the U.S. government shortly, but if there's any indication, obviously, the U.S. is in a significant security posture already in South Korea for obvious reasons. Any indication of what can be done about this kind of hacking? HANCOCKS: Well, certainly, it's not just a South Korean problem. The

intelligence agency here is the one that's publicizing this. They're not just pointing to U.S. air bases here in South Korea being targeted. It's across the world. We know one in particular the NIS mentioned, Osana Air Base, about 50 kilometers, 40 miles south of Seoul. Certainly, they believe they have some specific threats against specific targets. That's something that the U.S. military will be looking at closely.

But this cyber terrorism is a growing concern, when it comes to ISIS and to trying to protect against this terrorism -- Paula?

[01:35:00] NEWTON: Our Paula Hancocks following that story of a potential ISIS threat in South Korea. Paula, appreciate it.

To Iraq now. The government's fight to drive ISIS from Fallujah continues. This, despite officials' claims that the city has been retaken. Iraqi troops raised the national flag over the Fallujah mayor's office on Friday. And the country's prime minister said on TV the city was liberated. But as a CNN crew saw firsthand, pockets of ISIS resistance remained throughout the weekend.

And as the conflict draws on, some are warning of a humanitarian disaster in Fallujah. The Norwegian Refugee Council says an estimated 30,000 people have been displaced in just three days. We're looking at images of some of those people now, those internally displaced. They're being held by Iraqi government forces to make sure they don't have ISIS sympathies.

Our Ben Wedeman explains.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

BEN WEDEMAN, CNN SENIOR INTERNATIONAL CORRESPONDENT: As the battle winds down, Iraqi officials are increasingly concerned about the possibility of what they describe as a humanitarian catastrophe. Tens of thousands of people are still inside those parts of Fallujah under ISIS control. Many more have fled to camps around Fallujah, where facilities are, at best, minimal.

One of the worries, of course, is the outbreak of disease. Keep in mind that under ISIS control in Fallujah, there were no vaccination campaigns. Therefore, Iraqi officials are worried about the potential outbreak of cholera and typhoid.

I'm Ben Wedeman, CNN, reporting from Baghdad.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

NEWTON: The number of displaced citizens in Fallujah is just a fraction of those displaced worldwide.

Coming up, more on the alarming statistics released by the United Nations, as it prepares to mark World Refugee Day.

And the fate of families stranded in Greece hinges on Skype. There's only one hour a day to get the call through. That story just ahead.

(COMMERCIAL BREAK)

[01:40:07] NEWTON: Returning now to Britain's upcoming referendum on whether to remain in the European Union, campaigning is back on after a pause following the murder of lawmaker, Jo Cox. Both sides held rallies in London on Sunday. While the tone was muted, the focus returned to immigration.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

DAVID CAMERON, BRITISH PRIME MINISTER: There's good ways of controlling immigration. And these welfare changes I think are good ways. There are bad ways of controlling immigration. And that I think would be leaving the single market, damaging our economy, costing jobs, and hurting British working families in the process.

(CROSSTALK)

CAMERON: That's not the right way to control immigration.

BORIS JOHNSON, "LEAVE" CAMPAIGNER & FORMER LONDON MAYOR: Yes. Let us take back control of our borders with a sensible, fair and impartial system. And let me take on this issue absolutely directly because I am pro-immigration, my friends. I am the proud descendant --

(APPLAUSE)

JOHNSON: I'm the proud descendant of Turkish immigrants. And let me stun you, perhaps, by saying I'll go further. I'm not only pro- immigration, I'm pro-immigration (ph), and I'm in favor of an amnesty for illegal immigrants who have been here more than 12 years, unable to contribute -- unable to contribute to this economy, unable to pay taxes, unable to take proper part in society. And I'll tell you why. Because it is the humane thing to do. It is the economically rational thing to do. And it means taking back control of a system that is at the moment completely out of control.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

NEWTON: Now, aside from the fiery words about Brexit, there's emotionally loaded images, as well. A group supporting Britain leaving the E.U. produced a poster entitled "Breaking Point." It shows crowds of immigrants queuing up to enter Great Britain. Brexit opponents decried the image, saying it's reminiscent of anti-refugee Nazi propaganda from the 1930s.

Monday is World Refugee Day, and the United Nations has released a new report with some alarming statistics on refugees around the world. About 65 million people around the world are refugees, asylum seekers or internally displaced in their own countries. Of those, about 21 million were refugees who were forced from their home country. Half of all refugees are children. And many are separated from their parents or traveling alone.

CNN's Atika Shubert spoke to one refugee family stranded in Greece about their daily struggle to apply for asylum.

(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)

ATIKA SHUBERT, CNN CORRESPONDENT (voice-over): Imagine the fate of your family hinges on Skype. You've just got one hour a day to get this critical call through. And every family member must be there and visible. You call and call and call.

Welcome to the life of the Halla family, refugees from Aleppo, now stranded in Greece.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: (SPEAKING FOREIGN LANGUAGE)

SHUBERT: I've been calling for two months and seven days. It's just tough. I just dialed again. You can hear the response," he says. "There's only that noise."

That noise is the sound of the family trying to apply for asylum in Europe. Greece's asylum relocation service only takes appointments via Skype. And the service is only open for one hour a day.

"Of course, it's a ploy, says Annis' (ph) wife, Mara (ph). "Is it possible that they could answer the phone calls of so many thousands of people?"

For one hour, we sat with the family in their spotlessly-clean tent, with their two young children, parents and sister. In that time, Annis (ph) tried to call 36 times. No one answered.

The Greek government says an in-person registration service is slowly being rolled out in camps. But for many, Skype is the only option.

While they Skype, they try to keep the kids busy with drawings and books. But it's the same routine, every day for the last 67 days, with no answer.

UNIDENTIFIED CHILD: (SPEAKING FOREIGN LANGUAGE)

SHUBERT: This 6-year-old asks us, "Do you want to know where I want to go?"

(on camera): Where do you want to go?

But to go to Germany, his family must first get through on Skype. And no one knows when that will be.

(WEATHER REPORT)

(COMMERCIAL BREAK)

NEWTON: Euro 2016 has had a string of disastrous moments since the tournament started. Fights between fans have been the biggest problems so far. But the latest incident may be even more concerning.

Our Will Ripley has the details.

(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)

ANNOUNCER: There's more ignition in that flare. We don't know if he's injured.

WILL RIPLEY, CNN CORRESPONDENT: They threw flares on the field and punches at each other. A handful of Croatian fans disrupted their team's game against the Czech Republic.

UNIDENTIFIED CROATIAN COACH: (SPEAKING FOREIGN LANGUAGE)

RIPLEY: Croatia's coach called them sports terrorists.

But how can at least a dozen flares get past multiple layers of security?

(on camera): We've come to another stadium in Paris, France, to see how it works. The first security point is all the way down there. And the second and third, right through here. You see the fans of Austria and Portugal being patted down. It really makes you wonder if flares can make it through these layers of security into a packed stadium, could explosives also be smuggled inside?

(voice-over): Checking 40,000 or even 60,000 people as they converge on a stadium is a huge task.

European football's governing body tells CNN, "Despite thorough body and bag searches at the stadium entrances, it's extremely difficult to completely eliminate the risk that fireworks are brought into the stadium."

For some fans, that's not good enough.

UNIDENTIFIED FAN: If someone can bring firecrackers in, someone could bring something in a lot more sinister. I don't wish to mention it but, you know, it could be a lot worse.

[01:50:00] RIPLEY: Last November, it nearly was a lot worse, when ISIS suicide bombers targeted the National Stadium of France.

(EXPLOSION)

RIPLEY: They never made it inside, killing only themselves but badly injuring others. Fans at Euro 2016 say they're aware of the risk.

UNIDENTIFIED FAN: It scares everyone a little bit. Also, you can't let the fear get to you, or you stop living.

RIPLEY: One of men accused in November attacks told Belgium investigators, Euro 2016 was their ultimate target.

French journalist, Jaquin Barbiet (ph) has attended many of the games. He says some security officers are newly hired, inexperienced.

JAQUIN BARBIET (ph), FRENCH JOURNALIST: Because it's a big threat, the major threat of terrorism, you have to think about reducing the tension and being competent and friendly. They just don't know what to do.

RIPLEY: French authorities insist everyone has been properly trained, including these anti-terror drills ahead of the tournament. Helicopters, nearly 80,000 armed police officers and metal detectors, so far, so good.

The main problem, hooligans, the majority of them English and Russian. More than 300 arrests, 20 Russian fans deported, heightened security and increased police for Monday's Russia-versus-Wales game.

Football violence is nothing new. It's the risk that terrorists will find a chink in security that will change the game. And with three weeks and more than 30 matches ahead --

ANNOUNCER: Very aware how serious this is.

RIPLEY: -- Euro 2016 hasn't even hit halftime.

NEWTON: Now, for a quick recap of what happened on the pitch Sunday. Albania made history with the country's first-ever win at a major tournament. It wasn't enough to advance. France and Switzerland's scoreless draw was enough to see both teams into the round of 16. Monday sees two matches to decide group "B." England can win the group with three-points against Slovakia. But in theory, all four teams can still advance.

The Summer Olympic Games in Rio are weeks away. Brazil is already battling the Zika Virus, political troubles and infrastructure challenges, but now there are growing concerns about street crime.

CNN's Nick Paton Walsh has the latest warning for tourists heading to the games.

(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)

NICK PATON WALSH, CNN SENIOR INTERNATIONAL CORRESPONDENT (voice-over): The 5:00 p.m. rush, sundown empties the beeches, fills rum glasses and streets in Copacabana where Olympic tourists will be lured by volleyball and hot sand. Their phones, jewelry sparkle, a sea of opportunity for this man, one of Rio's army of street robbers.

UNIDENTIFIED STREET ROBBER (through translation): More or less five phones stolen, that's a good work.

PATON WALSH: His crimes aren't sins, he says, just a way to make a living. And the Olympics will be boom time.

UNIDENTIFIED STREET ROBBER (through translation): Very, very busy time. It's going to be good. At the same time, you'll have a lot of tourists, a lot of thieves, as well. With jewelry, watches, people might go to the police station. But when it's just a phone, many don't even go to the police. They get on a ship, on a plane, and they leave.

PATON WALSH: He prefers to work in a pair, approach from behind. And shows me his move. While the other partner bumped into my front, he shows us where he immediately takes a stolen phone. He snaps and throws the SIM card, not touching the phone's buttons. It's market, mostly legal resellers, brims with traders hawking very cheap phones on the corner.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: (SPEAKING FOREIGN LANGUAGE)

PATON WALSH: And some, he says, can wipe and reset a phone for him for about $10.

In fact, one told me they don't need passwords to reset a phone at all. Pedro then sells the clean phone on.

UNIDENTIFIED STREET ROBBER (through translation): If you get the new launch, a 6S, all of the iPhones are guaranteed money. You don't have it at home for even a day. You can steal it in an hour. Two hours later, you will already have the money in your pocket and it's far away.

PATON WALSH: It's a brazen industry, caught on amateur camera here in the center. Opportunism and thuggery combined. The broken phone, no use here and returned.

Rio police have set up a high-tech CCTV center they hope will encourage people to report crimes and maybe let them see culprits in action. A grainy view of a beautiful city's hardened trade.

(on camera): You do realize you're potentially ruining someone's holiday, right?

UNIDENTIFIED STREET ROBBER (through translation): I don't really think about that because, if I did, no one would do it. When it's time to go and steal, you always think these are the people with more money than those here.

PATON WALSH (voice-over): Pedro's advice to not get robbed by him, put your phone in your front pocket, pay attention when you use it, check it if someone bumps into you. Now it's up to you to decide if he's left something out.

NEWTON: Would you get on Board? A company hoping to carry customer into space has completed a fourth successful test run. That's the unmanned Blue Sheppard rocket there launching from Texas. It successfully landed a short time later. The rocket is built by Blue Origin, a space tourism firm headed by Amazon's CEO. In addition to the launch and recovery, the spacecraft's passenger section was intentionally crash-landed back to earth. Blue Origin says it's all part of this successful test. It could take a lot of courage to get me on there.
