5:36 am
they set for now they're not looking for anyone else in connection to the death of jo cox. molly: solange mougin reporting. tributes have been pouring in to jo cox, the 41-year-old mother of two. we do know she is a former aide worker known for her advocacy for syrian refugees as well as other immigrants. sheespondent: indeed, worked there for a decade, also conflict to two zones. she created and shared a parliamentary group on syria. very strongly, passionately arguing that the u.k. with step in and do more to end the conflict in syria and open the doors to the child refugees from .hat conflict righ definitely outspoken on those issues or she also said that the immigrants were beneficial to
5:37 am
the u.k., very pro-open borders. what we also saw in that report is eyewitnesses saying that the attacker shouted "britain first." that has not been confirmed. it is a far right political party in the u.k. analysts are asking how outside influences can impact people. this is a constant question to be sent that foreigners are to be feared, that they are stealing your job. it is understandable that every known again someone will act with hate. a referendum can also make people a little more touchy than a general election, for example, because in a general election, parties to be elected, but they do not last too long. referendum, this referendum in particular, seemed to be all
5:38 am
about immigration in the latest debates. let's give a quick reminder of jo cox speaking in parliament. cox: desperate syrian families have been forced to make an impossible decision -- stay in face rape, persecution, and death, or make a perilous journey to find things worry elsewhere. who can blame desperate parents for wanting to escape the horror that their families are experiencing? the reality in which children are being killed on their way to school. they are being recruited to the front line. one and three syrian children have grown up knowing nothing but fear and war. these children have been exposed to things no child should ever witnessed, and i know i personally would risk life and limb to get my two precious babies out of that hellhole.
5:39 am
eve: so we are hearing from jo cox herself speaking on behalf of syrian refugees, focusing on children, as you mentioned, and immigration, a key factor for her, a main component for her. comes with very unfortunate timing, if we can say that, yesterday, the unveiling of the extreme right's new poster that has caused a lot of controversy there in the u.k., saying it has certainly whipped up a lot of perhaps racial hatred and incitement in the country. eve: indeed. the backlash from politicians and even the british public on this poster itself, and then you said, given the date it was revealed, it adds to the question how far you can go, conveying to stir up emotion. , they say it actually is a direct and
5:40 am
incitement to hatred because it shows nonwhite people, hundreds of them, with a breaking point, slow going over the top. you can add leader nigel farage. he says the photo has not doctored, that it is a genuine photo. he says they are not really anti-refugees, if you like, they say it is economic migrants and even some terrorists. and basically, you know, again, they are playing up into that idea that the eu has immigration problems. let's take a quick look to nigel farage's dissent. nigel: it is a breaking point, and it says "the eu has failed us all." it is worth remembering that they are going right across the continent, and why? because the eu is making a mess of everything.
5:41 am
first we have the eurozone, then we have the asylum policy, compounded hugely by angela merkel, and we see a huge stream of people coming into europe over the force of last year. no secured he checks donna -- no security checks done on anybody. molly: we heard him say no security checks are done on anyone care security and migration are at stake in the eu . eve: yes, but one thing the u.k. needs to be reminded of is it has control of its own borders. nigel did admit that yes, in order to increase security and get national results, the government and u.k. needs to change its openness to the immigration question, which can be a misleading one for voters in the u.k. let's take a quick look at both sides of the argument. there are already 2 million ,rits in the rest of the union siesta take them into consideration with reciprocal
