Britain's rival EU camps battle into final stretch

Rival camps vied to seize momentum on Monday for the final stretch before Britain's referendum on European Union membership, after the shock killing of a lawmaker halted the campaign.

Politicians will return to parliament, which had been in recess, for a special sitting to pay tribute to Jo Cox, a pro-EU campaigner murdered on a village street last week.

Politicians on both sides of the debate sought to lay out their case to voters with just three days left until the ballot.

Prime Minister David Cameron called on voters to pick "Remain" in a sometimes heated BBC television appearance on Sunday evening in which an audience member accused him of appeasing an EU "dictatorship".
