Man accused of murdering British MP Jo Cox appears in court
The man accused of murdering British lawmaker Jo Cox made a brief appearance via videolink at London's Old Bailey criminal court on Monday, speaking only to confirm his name.
Thomas Mair was remanded in custody and will appear at the Old Bailey again on Thursday.
At an initial hearing in a lower court on Saturday, Mair said his name was "death to traitors, freedom for Britain". At Monday's hearing, asked if he was Thomas Mair, he said "yes I am".
The murder of Cox, a 41-year-old mother of two young children, has shocked Britain, elicited condolences from leaders around the world and raised questions about the tone of campaigning before Britain's referendum on EU membership which takes place on Thursday.

Global stocks gain and safe havens retreat as Brexit worries lessen:
Global stocks rose today and sterling strengthened broadly while safe-havens including the yen and gold retreated
This comes after polls showed support for Britain staying in the EU regaining momentum before Thursday's referendum.
Sterling has been at the sharp end of worries Britons will vote to leave the EU, and the slightly diminished Brexit fears pushed the pound up 1.5 percent against the dollar and more than 2 percent versus the yen.
Share prices, which fell globally in recent days on the prospect of Britain quitting the bloc as some polls showed the "Leave" campaign ahead, rose strongly.
The pan-European FTSEurofirst 300 index added 2.9 percent, led by banks, while Britain's blue-chip FTSE 100 index chalked up a similar gain.
