gun control measures intended to lessen the odds of such a massacre happening again. democrats propose to expand background checks to cover purchases at gun shows and ban gun sales to anyone on a government terrorist watch list. republicans propose the f.b.i. be alerted when someone on a watch list buys a gun from a licensed firearm dealer, and letting the government delay a gun sale to someone on a watch list for three days while seeking a court order to stop it. today, the "national rifle association" said it supports only the republican bill with that due process provision. >> this notion that more gun control is going to prevent some jihadist who thinks he's going to obtain martyrdom by murdering innocent people really gets away from the serious nature of the problem that we're facing. >> sreenivasan: attorney general loretta lynch said today the ability to block a gun sale is an important tool, but three days may not be enough time to produce the evidence. >> what we think is more appropriate is the one that gives us the most flexibility-- the ability to stop that sale at

the beginning and the ability, again, if it's challenged, to protect sensitive and classified information. >> sreenivasan: today at 2:00 a.m., the time last week's rampage at the "pulse" nightclub began, an l.g.b.t. club down the street held a moment of silence for the victims. 18 of 53 people who survived gunshot wounds remain hospitalized. >> joining my now from oarltd for more of the investigation and mood of the city is paul brinkman. putting together a time line of exactly what happened in the last three hours, according to all the witnesses, survivors this there, one of the questions that people often have is what took the police so long, why did it take them three hours? what you did point out is they re there relatively quickly. >> there was an orlando police officer there on the scene as an off-duty security guard. he exchanged gun fire pretty quickly with the shooter, he

realized he was outgunned and had to retreat and call for backup. two other officers experience pretty much the same thing and the shooter retreated in the back of the bar. we were working on that for a period of days before we posted that. because obviously, you know, it took a little while to piece it all together. >> sreenivasan: this is also now a weekend where we see the beginning or the continuation of funerals of the victims. >> yes. you know right away, one of our first tasks in the newsroom was to cover every victim, find out who they were, and then we have kept up with that database, with when vigils are held for them, when their funerals are lapping now, several every day. >> sreenivasan: paul, sadly this is not the first sometime this has occurred and there is now a infrastructure of people who have survived from other mass shootings. who are those people and what are they planning on to help

orlando? >> it's not a formal group. they don't even have a formal name. but it is a network of family members of victims of other mass shootings. but they try to stay in touch with each other and provide whatever support they can, they are scheduled to fly here actually tonight, some of them will be arriving and then they will be here for two days and looking for opportunities to connect with victims and their families and they are going to be workin working with equalitya and some of the other lgbt organizations here. one of their causes that they're most passionate about is the fundraising. because many of them have actually seen millions of dollars raised in some of these other shootings, where victims and their families who were affected by them are still struggling to pay their bills and haven't gotten any money. there are some things they can

say you know watch out for fractured fundraising, watch out for groups that are trying to raise money for other groups. the problem is that the need for victims and their families is people who they're not able to pay their rent or not able to go to work. and they need help. >> sreenivasan: all right, paul brinkman of the orlando sentinel. thanks so much. >> sreenivasan: in the wake of the orlando massacre, presumptive republican presidential nominee donald trump called today for lawç enforcement to conduct surveillance of mosques and to consider profiling american muslims. he made the suggestions in a telephone interview with cbs news. >> well, i think profiling is something that we're going to have to start thinking about as a country. other countries do it, you look at israel and you look at others, they do it and they do it successfully. and i hate the concept of profiling but we have to start using common sense and we have to use our heads.

>> sreenivasan: dry conditions and high temperatures continue to aggravate wildfires fires in four western states. in southern california, firefighters braving temperatures in the high 90s have contained 45 percent of a four-day-old wildfire that has spread over 12 square miles. more than a thousand firefighters have worked on the fire since wednesday, which has come within two miles of coastal communities. in new mexico, a wildfire that began tuesday in the mountains southeast of albuquerque has burned 27 square miles and destroyed two dozen homes. that fire is only about ten percent contained. wildfires are also burning in arizona and utah. learn how one survivor of the orlando shooting is recovering after being held hostage at pulse nightclub. read the story online at pbs.org/newshour. on thursday, british voters decide whether to remain part of the european union, an economic and political bloc encompassing 28 nations and 500 million people.

the consequences of a so-called "brexit"-- or british exit from the e.u.-- on the nation's economy and sovereignty deeply divide british voters, with polls showing a slight edge for the leave movement. for tonight's signature segment, newshour special correspondent patricia sabga went to the u.k. to explore both sides of the debate. >> reporter: at the cap 'n' gown pub in worcestershire, england, pints go hand in hand with politics. on tap tonight, the upcoming referendum when british voters will decide whether to stay in or leave the european union. which way are you thinking of voting? >> i'm not sure yet. i'm waiting to be educated. >> i'm thinking in, but i still need to get more education on it. >> reporter: famous for the lea and perrins sauce that bears its name, the county of worcestershire, 136 miles west of london, has been at the epicenter of defining moments in british history, like the 1651 battle of worcester that ended the english civil war.

still largely rural, its cathedral and cricket clubs are quintessentially british. with 92 percent of its roughly 600,000 residents white, it is more ethnically homogenous than the national average. in the battle over britain's future ties to the european union, the county of worcestershire is a bellwether. and right now voters here are pretty evenly divided between those who want to stay in the e.u. and those who feel britain would be better off going it alone. to woo the undecided, both sides have unleashed a media blitz. >> if we left, independent experts estimate 950,000 jobs would be lost. >> the euro is broke, and the e.u. plans to let in another five countries. >> reporter: so cap ¡n' gown owner ted marshall is trying to cut through the noise. he's organized seven debates in the run-up to the referendum. >> i would ask the people don't heckle too much.

>> reporter: this gathering tackled perhaps the most divisive issue: the "freedom of movement" rule that allows citizens of the e.u.'s 27 other member states to move to britain, work here, and receive generous government benefits, including free health care for themselves and their families. >> donald trump has talked a lot about migration-- you call it immigration-- and that's the biggest issue here for this e.u. referendum, no question at all. >> this house believes... >> reporter: since 2004, when the e.u. expanded to include countries from eastern europe, the number of non-british, e.u.- born citizens working in the u.k. has quadrupled from around half a million to nearly two million. an influx that's pushed 21-year- old worcestershire native ellis tustin to the leave camp. >> interested in leaving the union? >> reporter: the first person in

his family to go to university, tustin says e.u. membership has fueled immigration that's harmed working class communities like his. >> the entire culture of the town is totally shifted, into you know, it's almost for many people in this town they feel it's an eastern european town now. >> reporter: that's one reason why tustin joined the euro- skeptic ukip-- the uk independence party. described by critics as far right, tustin says the party has been derided for a platform many brits are too afraid to voice. >> people are afraid of saying i'm tired of, you know, doctor's appointments becoming longer, i'm worried about my children not getting that place in school. because as soon as someone says something like this in this country, they are immediately cast as racist or xenophobic. >> reporter: tustin is not afraid to argue e.u. membership has hurt british workers, because, he says, immigrants

willing to work for less posh jobs. >> a lot of the work that people are doing is low paid jobs, and those are the jobs where the value is being undercut. those are the jobs where people will say to the employers, "i will happily work for five pounds less than him and still do the same job." >> reporter: on the other side of the debate is 23-year-old worcestershire-born richard fulloway, a member of the youth wing of britain's conservative party, fulloway is applying to become a royal naval officer, a career goal that informs his views. >> what i'm looking at is the sort of bigger picture around britain's influence in the world where britain stands in the world. >> reporter: for fulloway, that means not swimming away from europe. >> the world is joining into power blocks, so you've got china, you've got russia pushing its weight around over in the ukraine, you've got china in the

south china sea. you've got japan looking to rearm. you've got the u.s. trying to find its place in the world. i think as a country we are much better off as a group of 500 million people than we are on our own as 67 million people. >> reporter: it's a group that's given britain access to the world's largest trade barrier- free single market without having to adopt europe's troubled single currency, the euro, or bailout struggling euro-economies like greece. >> we are in such a special position. >> the remain argument is we are better off. >> a chorus of voices >> reporter: a chorus of voices is warning that leaving the e.u. would harm britain's economy, and that negotiating a new trade deal with europe could be difficult. but some small business owners

have found life under the e.u. too difficult. >> i heard it described recently as a stitch-up between big global corporations and the big banks. >> reporter: mike humm owns the holywell water company, which bottles and sells water from the holywell spring nestled in worcestershire's malvern hills. how long has this spring been going? >> oh, i don't know. it first came into history in 1558. >> reporter: but according to e.u. rules, humm couldn't label his water "spring" water, because he passes it through ultraviolet light to kill off potential viruses or bacteria. >> it goes through the u.v. filter, which is that stainless steel tube with the red end. >> reporter: that's the one that's causing all the problems with the e.u.? >> yes. >> reporter: because humm sells his product only in britain, the u.k. government allows him to call it "spring water." still, he spent months fighting an e.u. regulation, he says, was based on guidelines drafted by big corporations.

>> danon, coca cola, nestle. what they're doing is protecting their market, and the inference is that malvern water is not as good as theirs. that it's not a fine water. and that's rubbish. >> reporter: but some british small business owners have thrived in the e.u. >> i passionately want to stay. it's very important to our business. >> reporter: richard boorn owns bondtech, which manufactures specialty adhesives for bonding metal and horse hooves. how does being a part of the e.u. facilitate your business? >> it enables us to bring goods in without trade barriers. >> reporter: which means boorn doesn't pay import taxes on the raw materials he sources from other european countries. but if britain were to leave the eu... >> we will pay more for our goods, because there will be important tariffs. this belief that we can stand alone-- that boat sailed many years ago.

we need to be part of the biggest trading group in the world. >> reporter: many of the issues at play in the british referendum will resonate with american voters. like the impact of immigration on jobs and the economy, or isolationism versus internationalism. and like the u.s. presidential election, the politics of identity are shaping voter attitudes on this side of the pond. >> my grandfather he has stories going back 80, 70 years on this street. now he did not stand as a kid in the center of the street there, looking at german bombers going over the top of us, for then 70 years later to have his sovereignty dictated by the same country that then tried to do it then. >> reporter: for leave campaigner ellis tustin, that identity includes a britain which emerged from the ashes of world war ii to remain a world power. >> we are the fifth largest economy in the world. we have the fourth largest military budget.

we hold a seat on the security council. we are a member founder of the g-8. we are worth more than a star on somebody else's map. >> reporter: but stay campaigner richard fulloway believes the nation should take pride in its e.u. standing. >> when i see our prime minister sit at the table as equal with every other european nation, i don't understand why you would not feel proud to be at that table. >> reporter: at the cap ¡n' gown, the stay camp won this debate by a show of hands, but the arguments rage on. >> why can't we see my doctor then? >> this country... >> let's move on, please! >> reporter: if britain votes to leave, it will start a two year clock to officially exit the e.u. and if it votes to stay... >> if we stay, let's get in there. let's make europe great as well as great britain. if we leave, we've got a lot of work to do, we've got a lot work to do. but we are great britain.

>> sreenivasan: donald trump has never held elective office, but if the new york businessman secures his nomination at the republican national convention in cleveland next month, he will not be the first outsider to lead a major party. in the critically acclaimed 2005 book "five days in philadelphia," journalist and historian charles peters examined how outsider wendell willkie became the republican nominee 76 years ago. newshour special correspondent jeff greenfield explains how instructive that history lesson is today. >> reporter: our presidential nominees have come from many places. they've been governors-- both roosevelts, carter, reagan, bill clinton, george w. bush, mitt romney. they've been senators-- warren harding, jfk, bob dole, kerry, mccain, obama. and they've been generals-- washington, both harrisons,

andrew jackson, zachary taylor, grant, and eisenhower. >> the 22nd convention of the republican party will now come to order! >> reporter: but until now, for more than 200 years, only one genuine outsider has ever won a major party presidential nomination: republican wendell willkie, in 1940. >> i pledge myself to you and i ask each of you to join with me in this great crusade. >> reporter: willkie's success offers some lessons for 2016. willkie was a child of heartland america, born and raised in small town indiana. his blend of intelligence and discipline brought him to the peak of business success as president of a major public utility holding company, where he gained fame as a sharp critic of f.d.r.'s new deal regulations and as an advocate for social reform. that proved an appealing package for what was then a dominant

wing of the republican party. the republican party of 1940 was very different from today's version. its power center was here in the east and especially in new york, where the financial and media titans embraced more moderate and liberal ideas than their midwestern conservative rivals. they also were much more inclined to help european nations besieged by hitler's germany. more and more, these power brokers saw willkie as their ideal candidate. "time" magazine, the widely-read new york-based newsweekly, put him on the cover in 1939. "fortune," "life" and other mass magazines followed. and while there was no twitter or instagram for willkie to polish his own image, his witty appearance on the popular radio quiz show "information please" dramatically raised his public profile. >> mr. willkie. he entered world war i as a private and how did you come out, mr. willkie? >> i was a first lieutenant throughout the war. i was recommended for a promotion at the end, when they knew i was through. >> reporter: as the 1940

campaign approached, three republicans appeared to be the leading choices for president-- the senior republican in the u.s. senate, arthur vandenberg, of michigan; senator robert taft, of ohio, the symbol of midwest conservatism and son of a former president; and the 37- year-old organized crime-busting district attorney of manhattan, tom dewey. all three espoused isolationism and avoiding any u.s. involvement in brewing european conflicts. but that view became increasingly hard to sustain by the spring of 1940, as hitler's armies had conquered denmark, the netherlands, belgium, norway, and france. as the convention began, willkie was the only republican presidential hopeful embracing the idea of american aid to europe. the eastern media redoubled its support for willkie as the convention balloting drew near. its semi-official voice, "the new york herald tribune," ran a front page editorial urging his nomination, the first in its history. the galleries, packed with willkie supporters, filled philadelphia's convention hall

with a chant that dominated the proceedings. >> we want willkie! >> reporter: a united opposition might have prevailed over willkie, but just as in this year's republican race, that opposition did not unite. on the sixth ballot, willkie won. >> anyone in favor of making the nomination of wendell willkie unanimous. >> reporter: willkie couldn't stop f.d.r. from winning an unprecedented third term that november. more importantly, willkie supported the president on two critical policies-- the first peacetime military draft in u.s. history and leasing war equipment to britain. a more partisan republican nominee would never have done that. after the election, willkie became one of roosevelt's strongest allies in mobilizing the country for the war that was to come. now, three quarters of a century later, another outside appears to have captured the republican nomination. but unlike willkie, trump's victory came not from riding the forces of the republican establishment, but by vanquishing them.

>> sreenivasan: iraq's government says their soldiers have retaken most of fallujah, the city 40 miles west of baghdad occupied by isis for the past two-and-half years. an iraqi commander said today government troops control 80 percent of the city, but are hampered by isis bombs, booby traps, and snipers. the united nations says more than 80,000 civilians have evacuated fallujah, overwhelming camps run by the iraqi government and aid groups. the largest protest in 20 years against american military presence in japan happened in okinawa today. an estimated 65,000 came out to protest the 50,000 u.s. military personnel and civilian contractors based there. the protesters also oppose a plan to build a new marine airfield in the less populated northern part of the island. the demonstrations follow the arrest last month of a former marine working as a contractor

who is suspected of the recent rape and murder of a local woman. the japanese base is of growing strategic importance to u.s. defense officials concerned about china's expanding influence in the region. and, singer-songwriter melissa etheridge has a new song honoring the victims of last week's mass shooting. it's called "pulse"-- after the nightclub where the attack occurred-- and etheridge performed it this week on the public television program" infinity hall live." >> ♪ i am human, i am love and my heart beats with my blood ♪ love will always win underneath the skin ♪ everybody's got a pulse ♪ who you gonna hate now when there's no one left but you ♪ who you gonna gun down if you can't kill the truth

>> finally online tomorrow at pbs.org/newshour we'll hear from latinos in orlando on how they're handling the aftermath of the gay shooting in orlando that took so many latino lives. >> it's urgent that we don't give up on soacialsing and -- sociallyizing and being with people who understand you. >> sreenivasan: that's all for this edition of pbs newshour weekend, i'm hari sreenivasan, have a good flight. captioning sponsored by wnet captioned by media access group at wgbh access.wgbh.org >> pbs newshour weekend is made possible by: lewis b. and louise hirschfeld cullman.
