[03:00:00] ROSEMARY CHURCH, CNN NEWSROOM SHOW HOST: In or out? The battle over Britain's place in the European Union enters its final days.

Redemption. LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers win game seven of the NBA finals, ending half a century of heartbreak for their fans.

And new security worries in France after a series of embarrassing lapses at the European Football Championship.

Hello and welcome to our viewers here in the United States and of course all around the world. I'm Rosemary Church. Thanks for joining us. This is CNN newsroom.

In a few days, the U.K. will hold a crucial vote on its future, deciding whether or not to stay in the European Union. Campaigning picked up Sunday, with rallies in London, this one pushing to stay in the E.U. British Prime Minister, David Cameron is leading the remain campaign.

He has stressed the economic impact of leaving, warning a vote for Bexit, will leave Britain permanently poorer.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

DAVID CAMERON, BRITISH PRIME MINISTER: It's proving for this referendum, right? That if Britain wants to leave this organization, we can. We are a sovereign country. We choose to join NATO. We choose to join the E.U. 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 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, our businesses. And I don't think Britain, at the end, is a quitter. I think we stay and fight.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

CHURCH: Across London, there was another rally for the other side of the Brexit debate. Former London Mayor, Boris Johnson, says taking back control of Britain's destiny is the issue not immigration.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP) BORIS JOHNSON , FORMER LONDON MAYOR: Yes, let's 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 -- I'm the proud descendant...

(APPLAUSE)

I'm the proud of Turkish immigrants. And let me stun you, perhaps, to say I'll go further. I'm not pro-immigration, pro-immigration, 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)

CHURCH: On the Brexit campaigning resumed after a three-day pause following the murder of British M.P. Jo Cox. We are covering all angles of this with Max Foster in London. And Nic Robertson in Birstall where Cox was killed.

So, let's start with you, Nic. And campaigning has resumed as we mentioned in this final week for those who want to leave and those to who want to remain in the E.U. But the tone has changed as a result of the murder of British M.P. Jo Cox. What impact is our tragic death having in voting and indeed on campaigning?

NIC ROBERTSON, CNN INTERNATIONAL DIPLOMATIC EDITOR: Yes, a lot of people we talked to here, Rosemary, are happy to hear that the tone has changed. They really felt that the nature of the debate was becoming very divisive.

And of course, what we saw earlier last week, was the leave campaign was beginning to edge ahead in the polls. They really had the momentum. But Jo Cox's murder put a stop to the campaigning. And it appears to, perhaps, put a stop to that momentum, for the leave campaign. This is what we found out talking to people around here over the weekend.

Genteel tearooms. Lines already forming. Yorkshire life in Harrogate, not far from where M.P. Jo Cox was killed, moves on towards the referendum. But not the same.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

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's possibly turning me more to voting in than out.

(END VIDEO CLIP) ROBERTSON: She is not alone.

[03:05:01] 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 is kind of made me think, you know what, maybe we best stay in.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

ROBERTSON: But men in this beautiful spa town seem less easily shaken by Cox's death.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

ROBERTSON: 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 don't think it will. I will think people have made up their minds before that happened, I'm afraid.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

ROBERTSON: And both convinced, leaving the E.U., an organization that has at the very least given this tourist town an award for its flowers, is still the right thing to do.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: My mind is made.

ROBERTSON: Would you tell us?

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: We're going out.

ROBERTSON: Why is that?

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Because the place is Harrogate it's not too bad, but there's places in the country that are overrun with too many immigrants, I'm afraid.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: I'm voting out.

ROBERTSON: Why is that?

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

(END VIDEO CLIP)

ROBERTSON: This Sunday, a 1940s remembrance day commemoration, a ready reminder of when Europe was last at war. Security and economy on people's minds.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: I've already voted in.

ROBERTSON: Why was that?

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

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: In.

ROBERTSON: Why is that?

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: I think it's a safer option. I have no evidence to suggest that we would be better out of it. So, in.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

ROBERTSON: It's really too soon to say if and how big an impact Jo Cox's death may impact the outcome of the referendum. But you're beginning to get an idea here that perhaps, perhaps her death really this time when the leave campaign was edging ahead, may actually shape the future of this country. Rosemary?

CHURCH: It's certainly going to be interesting to watch that. Nic, I do want to ask you about former London Mayor, Boris Johnson. Because he has adjusted his message as part of his campaign, to leave the E.U.

He's talking in terms of being pro-immigration. He's saying that he even supports an amnesty for illegal immigrants. What has been the response from other Brexit supporters to that message?

ROBERTSON: Well, I think there's a -- there's a sense that the message needed -- for the sort of Brexit supporters, the message needed to become more central. There's a real concern about the tone of the message that has been put out by some sort of more on the right side, if you will, of the Brexit camp.

The U.K. Independence Party had released a campaign poster, that had showed a large number of refugees, waiting to try and get into across the European border. And the slogan was breaking point. And it was really felt that that was a bit divisive.

Now Boris Johnson has said all along that he is and he does support immigration. Yet, just a week and a few days ago, he launched a new proposal for how to tackle immigration. A point system to control immigration. Really, the leave campaign have been having the immigration is one of their central issues, that become heated, become divisive.

But they seem to be shifting more and more, over the past week, even before Jo Cox's killing, towards the take back control. There's a sense that the take back control message, take back control from Europe is a winning message from them. That's what they see.

CHURCH: All right, Nic with that live report from Birstall, England.

I want to go to Max Foster now for more on the memorials being held for Jo Cox. Max, how are people responding to the circumstances leading up to her murder? And, of course, the impact it's having on how they're feeling and how they intend to vote.

MAX FOSTER, CNN LONDON CORRESPONDENT: Well, it's interesting. There's a remembrance is what they call it here at parliament. They had to recall parliament, and all of members parliament to come back here, which is very rare indeed, Rosemary.

But it shows the sense of feeling here amongst their colleagues in Westminster. Also, some talk about a new arrangement for seating just for today, so that all of the political parties can move between each other and sit wherever they like and mix it all up to show that this is not a partisan issue.

Everyone feels the same way on this one issue. This is a very contentious time in British politics. At the same time we're hearing from the Labour Party, where Jo Cox is a member, saying that actually they want to sit together because they're so affected by all of this.

[03:10:02] And after the remembrance there in parliament, they're going to go up to church. A small church for a smaller service. So, a very powerful sense of loss here in Westminster. The time of if that they really come.

And they're also talking about setting up a memorial, a permanent memorial here in Westminster. And there's a charity page is being set up for her. They're raising money. I don't know if they worked out exactly which cause it's going to go to yet. But in a just few days, they raised $1 million, Rosemary. So, that expresses how her death has affected everyone, from whatever political persuasion.

CHURCH: Yes. It certainly does, just shocking circumstances there. Max Foster, joining us live from London. Nic Robertson in Birstall, England. Many thanks to both of you.

Well, Cleveland Cavaliers captured their first NBA title Sunday. It was a thrilling game from start-to-finish. And the end result is history. It's the City of Cleveland's first major sports title in 52 years.

The Cavs are the first team to ever come back from a 3-1 deficit in the finals. And star, LeBron James, has now fulfilled his promise to bring a championship to his hometown. The fans in Cleveland are seizing the moment. Many wondered if the championship drought would ever end.

But now, that wait is lifted. And people are out and celebrating in the streets.

Our Andy Scholes talked to some ecstatic fans.

ANDY SCHOLES, CNN SPORTS CORRESPONDENT: After 52 years of sports misery, the fans in Cleveland, hoping, praying that this would finally be their year. And when the final buzzer sounded, the city erupted with pure joy.

(CROWD CHEERING)

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Fifty two years of frustration. I've been -- I've been in the drive and all the other stuff. This is what makes it. It's wonderful.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Finally, we did it. My City, Cleveland, is finally champions.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: If you look around at this city right now, this is what we've longing for, this is what we wanted. We deserve that 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. Cleveland needs nice things.

SCHOLES: Now any championship would have been special for Cleveland. But the way they won this one, is special. Coming back from 3-1. First team to ever do that in the NBA.

Beating the warriors that were 73-9, 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, CNN.

(APPLAUSE)

CHURCH: Very happy. And as you saw there the entire City of Cleveland, rallying around their champions. Here's a look at Monday's front page for "The Cleveland Plains Dealer newspaper urging a tortured fan base to finally to believe it.

In Iraq, the U.N. is warning of an exodus of people fleeing Fallujah. More on the embattles city, coming up.

Donald Trump isn't backing down on his stance on profiling. More about his reasons for isolating a very broad group of people. That's still ahead.

[03:15:00] (COMMERCIAL BREAK)

KATE RILEY, CNN WORLD SPORT ANCHOR: 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 n Sunday, while Albania made history by beating Romania, 1-nil and winning their first-ever major tournament game. They finished third to keep their chances alive for the round of 16.

In the other match, France and Switzerland playing for the top spot in the group (Inaudible). Paul Pogba and Dimitri Payer both hit the cross for the 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 by charges by EUFA. The Hungarian federation will have a case to answer on 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 yet to be set.

Some were predicting the first ever Formula 1 Grand Prix in Azerbaijan will a demolition derby in Baku street circuit. But in the end it was straightforward race for Rico Rosberg extending his lead of the driver standing. Rosberg had put his Mercedes on pole possession, after team mate Louis Hamilton crashed didn't qualify.

And he was in control on Sunday. The German claims his fifth win of the season and is now 25 points clear of Hamilton in the driver standings.

And that's a look at your all sports headlines. I'm Kate Riley.

CHURCH: Welcome back, everyone.

We want to turn to Iraq now. And the government's fight to drive ISIS from Fallujah, still raging. An operation to seize the key city west of Baghdad began in May.

Iraq's Prime Minister said Friday that the city was liberated. But a CNN crew saw firsthand the fighting continued through the weekend.

The United Nations says up to 84,000 people may have fled the city since the operation to retake it began in May.

Our Ben Wedeman joins us now from Baghdad with the very latest. And, Ben, you are just back from Fallujah. In fact, can you explain to us what civilians in the city are enduring at this time.

BEN WEDEMAN, CNN SENIOR INTERNATIONAL CORRESPONDENT: Well, the situation, Rosemary, is dire. There's no other way to describe it. There's an unknown number, perhaps 10,000 or more civilians, still stuck inside those northern neighborhoods of Fallujah, where ISIS is still in control but where the battle is still raging.

They're clearly in a very difficult condition. We spoke to one soldier who saw some of the civilians fleeing. He said they were clearly suffering from lack of food, lack of clean water. And they were obviously traumatized by the fact that they were fleeing their homes in the middle of a battle.

Now, if you just look at the statistics we're getting. The numbers are disturbing. The Norwegian Refugee Council, which has been active in trying to alleviate the situation around Fallujah, says that since Friday, in just three days, 30,000 people fled the city of Fallujah.

Now this is overwhelming. The facilities that have been set up by the Iraqi government and other NGO's. We're hearing of one camp where 1,800 people have been located. And it only has one latrine for women.

We've been to some of the camps and it's bare bones at best. Some of the people say they have enough to eat finally. They have some medical treatment. But that's about it, in terms of facilities or amenities.

And the expectation is that it's going to get worse. That there's, as I said, there is still people inside the city, desperate to flee. And it doesn't appear that the facilities that have been set up are enough at all for them.

CHURCH: Yes, indeed. And, Ben, I did want to ask you this, too. Because Iraq's Prime Minister, as we reported, was a little premature saying that Fallujah had been liberated. What benefit is there in making such an announcement? Why would he do that?

[03:19:58] WEDEMAN: Well, we should point out that much of the city has now a large Iraqi military presence in it. It's just those northern neighborhoods where the fighting continues. But of course, there are pockets of ISIS snipers and others, who are scattered around the city.

And oftentimes, you'll go into an area where it's thought it's secure and it's not. But why did the Prime Minister Haider el-Abadi make that announcement? Well, for one thing they have made progress. And certainly when it comes to clearing the city it's been much faster than anyone expected.

This is not an easy operation. It began on the 23rd of May. And the Iraqi forces methodically cleared the villages and towns around Fallujah. And then, once they had a clear sort of iron grip around the city, they started to go in.

So, it's partly for reasons of politics that he wanted to declare a victory. But Iraqi officials concede that there still fighting to be done. And they're doing it. Rosemary?

CHURCH: An important point, for sure. Ben Wedeman joining us there live from Baghdad, who just recently returned from Fallujah. Many thanks to you, Ben.

Monday is World Refugee Day. And the United Nations says the number of displaced people around the world has reached more than 65 million, a record high. That is equivalent to 1 out of every 113 people on earth.

The U.N. says on average, 24 people were fleeing war and persecution per minute in 2015. That's four-times more than the rate a decade earlier.

Well, four, young asylum-seekers told CNN how they survived their grueling journeys and what it's like to live stranded at a refugee camp in Greece.

(FOREIGN LANGUAGE)

CHURCH: In Florida, thousands came together in downtown Orlando Sunday to remember the victims of a mass shooting at a gay nightclub. There's been an outpouring of love and support from around the country.

[03:24:55] 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. That wasn't the only surprise at the event.

Our Ed Lavandera explains.

ED LAVANDERA, CNN CORRESPONDENT: When this event was organized a week ago, the organizer tells me he 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 that were killed and gunned down in the deadly shoot-out the at the Pulse Nightclub a week ago.

An unbelievable sight of outpouring of grief and public emotion here 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 victim's relatives, as well.

And Monday will also be a day where we learn much more about what happened inside of the Pulse Nightclub more than a week ago. Authorities plan on releasing transcripts, partial transcripts of the conversations they had with the killer souring the attack inside of the Pulse Nightclub. And so, that is news that will emerge here later on today.

CHURCH: Ed Lavandera there.

Donald Trump thinks profiling is needed in the wake of recent terror attacks. His reasons for the controversial stance, coming up.

The Euro 2016 football tournament is making headlines for all the wrong reasons. How security failures are overshadowing the games. That's next.

(COMMERCIAL BREAK)

And a warm welcome back to you all. You're watching CNN Newsroom. I'm Rosemary Church. I want to update you now on the stories we've been watching this hour.

[03:30:01] In Afghanistan, at least 14 people are dead after a suicide bomber struck a minibus carrying security guards. The attack happened in the capital Kabul. At least eight people were wounded.

Initial reports suggest most of the victims were Napoli nationals. The Taliban has claimed responsibility for the blast. An American man says he has found more possible plane pieces from the

Malaysian Airlines flight 370 on a Madagascar beach. Earlier this month, Blaine Gibson told CNN he found probable plane debris in the same location.

Gibson says he's also discovered what could be personal effects, including phone cases and a backpack.

The wait is finally over for the City of Cleveland. The Cavaliers won the NBA championship Sunday, bringing the city its first title in any sport in 52 years. LeBron James led the way as they won a rematch of last years' finals against the Golden State Warriors.

Donald Trump is sparking controversy yet again, with calls for profiling. The presumptive republican nominee says profiling Muslims should be a consideration after the recent terror attack on a gay nightclub in Orlando.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

DONALD TRUMP, (R) U.S. PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE: Well, I think profiling is something that we're going to have to start thinking about as a country. And other countries do it.

We really have to look at profiling. We have to look at it seriously. And other countries do it. And it's not the worst thing to do. I hate the concept of profiling. But we have to use common sense. We're not using common sense.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

CHURCH: Meantime, Trump is facing a possible mutiny within his own party from a group of anti-Trump republicans. But the presumptive presidential nominee is calling the effort to stop him illegal.

Chris Frates has the details.

CHRIS FRATES, CNN INVESTIGATIVE CORRESPONDENT: A small of republican delegates is pushing for the party to adopt this co-called conscience class that would allow delegate to vote against Donald Trump.

Now a convention coup has little shot a success for a couple of reasons. Number one, Trump has installed his own loyalists on the convention's most important committee. So, he's got a lot of influence there.

And perhaps more importantly, there's no alternative candidate to Trump. The never-Trumpers has never been unable to find someone to find someone, to find anyone to challenge Donald Trump.

But the group in top republicans who have been critical of Trump have gotten the billionaire's attention.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

TRUMP: 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.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

FRATES: So, it's Trump's own rhetoric that has helped keep the dump Trump movement alive. His comments that a judge hearing a lawsuit against him had a conflict of interest because he was of Mexican descent, were called racist by members of his party.

And when he doubled down on his policy to ban Muslim immigration in the wake of the Orlando shootings, top republicans again oppose that idea. With House Speaker Ryan even suggesting, the House might sue a president Trump to stop that ban.

And with the general election underway, republicans hoped that Trump would tone it down and act more presidential. Something that Trump says he will do as soon as he is president. But many republicans worry that if he doesn't do it sooner, he will never get that chance.

CHURCH: All right. Let's turn to weather now.

And heavy rains have been battering Indonesia, triggering floods and landslides in central Java province. Many homes were buried. Others were submerged in floodwaters. At least 35 people have lost their lives. Another 25 are missing.

West Sumatra was also hit with unusually heavy rains. Thousands more were displaced there.

Officials in three U.S. States are battling wildfires. This one is near the U.S. border with Mexico just east of San Diego in Southern California. Officials tell us the fire doubled in size in just a matter of hours. Scorching 1,500 acres, pr more than 500 hectares, and forcing residents to evacuate.

Another even bigger wildfire is also burning in Southern California. Authorities say it may be several more days before it's fully contained. Wildfires are also burning in New Mexico and in Arizona.

So, we want to get more on this situation, of course, in California. Our Pedram Javaheri joins us, our resident meteorologist. So, this is a problem that these temperatures are just extraordinarily high.

PEDRAM JAVAHERI, CNN METEOROLOGIST: Yes.

CHURCH: Unusually high, in fact. And then of course, you got these fires out of control. The worst combination.

[03:35:00] JAVAHERI: It's exacerbating the problem, absolutely. And of course, today is the first official day of the summer in the northern hemisphere. So, you think about that and this is happening in the late spring. It makes a very ominous for what's ahead of us potentially when it

comes to the length of this summer and the problems that we could see.

And, Rosemary, what's fascinating, you take a look at this graphic just comparing this from 2016 to 2015, not unusual. Of course we're talking about massive flames right now across the western U.S.

But look at 2015 in particular. There were actually more fires as of today's date last year and also more acreas consumed versus 2016. Of course, the heat in place right now in the latter portion of June 2016 is something that we've never seen for the first day of summer.

But you take a look at the amount of acreage consumed here from portions of New Mexico on to Arizona and into California, you take that since, you measure it into a square-mile area, that is actually larger than the city of San Francisco.

So, again, an expansive area that's been consumed by fires in recent days. And a massive of high pressure that's in palce here, a heat dome, as we call it, essentially a bubble of dry, hot air in place here. That's causing the air to sink beneath it. This area of high pressure, o course that compresses the area that warms it up across this region.

And some 30 million people under heat warnings and heat advisories from L.A. towards Vegas onto Phoenix as well. And often talk about this seriousness of this sort of an event. Because weather -- as far as weather fatalities in the United States, heat is the number one killer in the United States every single year.

It takes over 100 lives per year. You think of other places in the world that is typically flooding that is the deadliest. But in the U.S., it is much more related to heat. And these sort of temperatures certainly could become a life-threatening situation.

I know in Phoenix, in the past 24 hours, several fatalities have taken place. Some people losing their lives as it was reported because they were hiking on Sunday afternoon, Rosemary, when temperatures were in the 100s, as we're talking well into the 40s Celsius. And folks were out hiking and it's very, very of course.

You would think for some it's common sense, for others maybe not and they may be like to challenge. But heat is the number one killer in the U.S. And it seems of course it happens in a couple month period. It doesn't happen all year when it comes to heat-related fatalities. So, it happens in these months.

CHURCH: Yes. Definitely something to keep in mind.

JAVAHERI: Yes.

CHURCH: Thanks so much, Pedram.

JAVAHERI: Thank you.

CHURCH: Well, the Euro 2016 football tournament has seen a number of violent fan incidents already barely a week after it got under way. In one instance, Croatia fans tossed flares on to the pitch. And that's exposing some gaps in security.

Our Will Ripley has more now from Paris.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

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

(END VIDEO CLIP)

WILL RIPLEY, CNN INTERNATIONAL 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.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

ANTE CACIC, HEAD COACH: Just a terrorist act.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

RIPLEY: Croatia's coach called them sports terrorists. But how can at least dozen flares get past multiple layers of security? We've come to another stadium the Park de France here in Paris to see how it works. The first security point is all the way down there. The second and third, right through here.

You can see the fans of Austria and Portugal being patted down. And 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?

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 is extremely difficult to completely eliminate the risk that fireworks are brought into the stadium."

For some fans that's not good enough.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: If someone can bring firecrackers in, then anybody could just bring, you know, something in more sinister in like other with dementia, but you know, it could be a lot worse.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

RIPLEY: Last November, it nearly was a lot worse. When ISIS suicide bombers targeted the national stadium of France. They never made it inside. Only killing themselves but badly injuring others. Fans at Euro 2016 say they're aware of the risk.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP) UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: I think it scares everyone a little bit. But to

see you caught in it, to let the fear get to you, otherwise you just stop living.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

RIPLEY: One of the man accused in November's attacks, Mohammed Abrini, told Belgium investigators, Euro 2016 was their ultimate target. French journalist Joachim Barbier has attended many of the games. He says some security officers are newly hired, inexperienced.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

JOACHIM BARBIER, 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.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

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 arrest, 20 Russian fans deported. Heightened security and extra 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's change the game. And with three weeks and with more than 30 matches ahead, Euro 2016 hasn't even hit halftime.

[03:40:08] Will Ripley, CNN, Paris.

CHURCH: In Istanbul, Turkey, authorities are cracking down on demonstrations. A transcribe rally in the city's Taxon Square was shut down Sunday. Riot police fired rubber bullets and tear gas to broke up a gathering of about 50 people. Officials reportedly did not want the LGBT event to go on during the holy month of Ramadan.

In Hong Kong, a book seller who went missing in mainland China last year is speaking out. And his assertions about what happened to him have triggered anger and protest.

CNN's Kristie Lu Stout reports.

KRISTIE LU STOUT, CNN HONG KONG CORRESPONDENT: Outrage in Hong Kong, after explosive claims from a local book seller about his abduction in mainland China.

Lam Wing-kee, manager of the Causeway Bay bookstore went missing in the mainland in late 2015, and reappeared in Hong Kong this week. Lam says he was kidnapped by Chinese special forces.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

LAM WING-KEE, BOOKSTORE OWNER (TRANSLATED): When they brought me across the border, it was dark. They blindfolded me and put a cap in my head and basically bungled me up.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

STOUT: He claims he spent months in solitary containment. And he was forced to confess on state TV to buying and selling banned books in mainland China. Lam's allegations have not been independently verified.

But the Hong Kong government says it attaches great importance to the incident. Meanwhile, China's ministry of foreign affairs says any issues having to do with Hong Kong are China's.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

HUA CHUNYING, CHINESE MINISTRY OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS DEPUTY DIRECTOR: He is a Chinese citizen. He violated Chinese law in the mainland. Therefore, the law enforcement authorities here have the right to deal with relevance case in accordance with law.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

STOUT: Lam's account shattered a narrative put forward by Chinese authorities that lam and his four colleagues voluntarily traveled to the mainland to help with the police investigation.

All five were involved with this bookstore, Causeway books as well as the publisher, Mighty Current which produced these books, rumor- filled, racy books about the political elite in China. Books that are banned in the mainland.

Lam and three other booksellers were allowed to return to Hong Kong, with orders to return back to the mainland with evidence, but Lam refuses to do so.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

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. CHURCH: And coming up, for those who ever wondered what a powerful

household glue might do to a stomach, you can stick around for an amazing dog story. Back with that.

JAVAHERI: Meteorologist Pedram Javaheri, with you on this shortest night of the year, the longest day of the year of course.

It is Monday, the 20th of June, summer solstice. Some thunderstorms across the Great Lakes region of the United States. The heat again wants to build back, especially around the Southwestern United States, where we had a lot of heat in place in recent days.

In fact, look at the forecast, going into your Monday across parts of the southwest. Could break some historic temperatures there in places like Las Vegas, Phoenix, Winslow, Los Angeles, all of them are going to be challenging some record temperatures.

Some areas poised to break them in the next 24 or so hours. But again, you notice it really doesn't want to cool off much in places like Phoenix, where it should of course be very hot this time of year around 39, and in should be into the lower 40s the next coming couple of days.

And here is the pattern down towards say Dallas, Texas, it should into the mid-30s. Miami, gets on a few showers. One of the cooler spots. About 29 degrees there.

And watching some areas of interest across the Bay of Campeche. A tropical depression in the works. The model indicate at this point, this storm has what it takes to become a tropical storm right for landfall.

And we think Tampico, towards Vera Cruz, that is where we have the highest of interest there for tropical storm like conditions as the storm move the shore. But again the vast majority of the concern here is not going to be related to wind, but it's going to be related to rain around Tampico where it could pick up some dangerous flash flooding, 150 to 250 millimeters of rainfall over the next coming days.

CHURCH: A private company hoping to carry customers into space has completed a fourth successful test run. This is the unmanned Blue Shepherd rocket as it launched from Texas. It's successfully landed a short time later. The rocket is built by Blue Origin, a space tourism firm headed by Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos.

A dog in the United States got himself in a very sticky situation and needed surgery to get out of it.

Jeanne Moos had story of Lake, the dog who ate glue.

JEANNE MOOS, CNN CORRESPONDENT: You've never know where they stuck their noses like the sign says, I eat everything, including the sign. From the lovable goof ball who swallowed golf balls...

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Seven, eight, nine.

MOOS: ... to the golden retriever who manage to pass a light buld to the dog, who ate its owner's bra, that's the clasp. To the pooch who swallowed five rubber ducky's.

[03:55:00] But rubber ducky's are child's play compared to gorilla glue. Just ask this six-month-old Weimar owner named Lake. Imagine this in your stomach.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Seriously hard.

MOOS: Gorilla glue says it's for the toughest jobs on planet earth that getting it out of the dog is tough, too.

Oklahoma City resident, Crystal Wilson says a family member left the glue where the dog could get it. Pooches seem to like the taste. But gorilla glue expands when it comes into contact with water. So, when it meets stomach juices...

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: If a small amount had swollen up until a size of a (Inaudible) I mean, it was huge.

MOOS: It pretty filled up the dog's entire stomach, says the vet who surgically removed it.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: And you'll just see here is the perfect shape of the stock so you get a mold.

MOOS: Dogs ingest gorilla glue so often, that one veterinarian group posted a simulation of what happens in the stomach as the glue hardens. This can be deadly. Go to a vet immediately if you suspect your dog has eaten a polyurethane glue.

Though, it bonds virtually everything, the lump doesn't stick to the stomach lining. And Lake is recovering nicely.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Back to his crazy cell.

MOOS: But at least Lake didn't ruin 43.5 socks. They had to be surgically removed from this great Dane in 2013. And you think you have trouble finding matched pairs when you do your laundry.

Jeanne Moos, CNN, New York.

CHURCH: That's a warning to all of you dog lovers out there.
