How Orlando is playing into the US presidential election

The killings seem to mark a turning point in US politics.

Was it religion, terrorism, hate or guns that led to the deaths of 49 people in a gay nightclub in Florida? Or all of them? Whatever the answer, it's having a big impact on the presidential campaign. Also in this programme/podcast: Russia's sporting crisis; religious advisers in Pakistan ban 'honour killings'; Microsoft buys LinkedIn; and a sombre final week to the British referendum campaign on whether or not to leave the EU.
