will take Muhammad Ali through the streets, to allow anyone who was | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
there from the world to say goodbye. Welcome to our look ahead | :00:00. | :00:14. | |
to what the the papers will With me are the Mirror columnist, | :00:15. | :00:19. | |
Susie Boniface and Philippa Kennedy, The digital Independent carries | :00:20. | :00:28. | |
an image of the man who's on the front of virtually every | :00:29. | :00:34. | |
paper tomorrow morning. He died on Friday night. That is a | :00:35. | :00:44. | |
rather humourous image. 20 by the serious ones. | :00:45. | :00:46. | |
The Express on Sunday shows a picture of Muhammad Ali in his later | :00:47. | :00:54. | |
years, with the quote, "Don't count the days, make the days count". | :00:55. | :00:57. | |
The Sun on Sunday shows a picture of a young Muhammad Ali back | :00:58. | :01:01. | |
when he was still known as Cassius Clay. | :01:02. | :01:04. | |
The Observer also shows a picture of Ali and | :01:05. | :01:06. | |
in the corner has a poignant quote from President Obama and his wife. | :01:07. | :01:13. | |
The Sunday times also has a picture of Ali but leads on reports that the | :01:14. | :01:17. | |
Royal Navy have been asked to patrol the english channel to look for | :01:18. | :01:20. | |
The Daily Mail leads with claims that the the campaign for Britain to | :01:21. | :01:25. | |
leave the EU has been infiltrated by dozens of far-Right extremists. | :01:26. | :01:36. | |
Inevitably it is Muhammad Ali pretty much all the way. What do you make | :01:37. | :01:44. | |
of the coverage? Well, he has always been absolutely beautiful. I think | :01:45. | :01:51. | |
they are trying to outdo each other to find the best picture. Many I | :01:52. | :01:56. | |
haven't seen before. The Sun on Sunday has chosen one when he was | :01:57. | :02:03. | |
very young. The Observer is featuring one when he looks a little | :02:04. | :02:06. | |
bit older. The physical presence is what comes out. He loses -- oozes | :02:07. | :02:19. | |
charisma. He really grabs the lens. Absolutely. He was one of the first | :02:20. | :02:23. | |
sports men really to create this as a credible... Reaching out to | :02:24. | :02:36. | |
teenage girls. I never knew one single boxer before he came along. | :02:37. | :02:47. | |
He became so much more than that. The papers have given him a very | :02:48. | :02:52. | |
good sendoff. Just look at the number of pages the Sun on Sunday | :02:53. | :02:59. | |
has given to it. Extraordinary. I think his whole legacy, the whole | :03:00. | :03:07. | |
idea of him being a black icon at a time when racism was rife in | :03:08. | :03:13. | |
America, he actually reached right across the world. Why was that? It | :03:14. | :03:18. | |
has got to be because of his total charm, as well as his skill and | :03:19. | :03:23. | |
beauty. For UN died we are not really old enough to remember him at | :03:24. | :03:27. | |
the peak of his powers as a boxer. -- for you and I. Probably most of | :03:28. | :03:36. | |
us remember him at the Atlanta Olympics. I have been as fascinated | :03:37. | :03:42. | |
about Muhammad Ali as somebody who has actually seen him fight. And it | :03:43. | :03:46. | |
does make a difference. The fact that this is someone who is no | :03:47. | :03:51. | |
longer with us, his impact and the effect he has had is still affecting | :03:52. | :03:58. | |
young people is-- young people, who have never seen him box. He was the | :03:59. | :04:02. | |
first sports a megastar, certainly the first black megastar, who was | :04:03. | :04:08. | |
crossing cultural boundaries. He was young, handsome, witty, clever, fast | :04:09. | :04:14. | |
on his feet, beautiful to look at. Opting vans, people who weren't | :04:15. | :04:19. | |
boxing fans, everybody wants to see him. -- boxing fans. That's what | :04:20. | :04:27. | |
enabled him, when he did become criticised, he could have this | :04:28. | :04:31. | |
massive impact. Had he not been a boxer, had he stayed in Louisville, | :04:32. | :04:37. | |
I do think the American Civil Rights Movement would have looked very | :04:38. | :04:39. | |
different and may not have had the success when it did. Certainly for | :04:40. | :04:44. | |
the times when he came to Britain, to Brixton, the impact he had on | :04:45. | :04:48. | |
people here... They probably loved him or hear at one point. -- more | :04:49. | :04:57. | |
here. There was one time when I was terribly disappointed, when he | :04:58. | :05:04. | |
wouldn't join the army. We were close enough, I wasn't born during | :05:05. | :05:08. | |
the Second World War, but I am close enough to remember the legacy. You | :05:09. | :05:13. | |
hear your parents talking about conscientious objectors. He took a | :05:14. | :05:20. | |
big risk. Effectively he was stripped of his boxing title. Very | :05:21. | :05:26. | |
crucial years, yes. Never mind that a lot of Americans would have been | :05:27. | :05:31. | |
angry and resentful. But he was right. Look how everything has | :05:32. | :05:34. | |
changed in America and how they view the Vietnam War now. He was a hero. | :05:35. | :05:40. | |
But he was absolutely denigrated by a lot of people in America, and all | :05:41. | :05:46. | |
over the world, for draft dodging or whatever it was called. I suppose he | :05:47. | :05:52. | |
didn't even dodge it, he was upfront about it. The Independent, the | :05:53. | :06:00. | |
digital Independent as it is now, I dearly wish they were still | :06:01. | :06:03. | |
publishing. You can imagine these pictures on the news stands. They | :06:04. | :06:07. | |
would catch your eye. I mentioned the comic on, the one in black and | :06:08. | :06:14. | |
white. Impossible is a big name thrown around by small people. That | :06:15. | :06:23. | |
picture of him looming over someone after he has floored him. No | :06:24. | :06:32. | |
shortage of pictures of him. Let's move on to another story. Also in | :06:33. | :06:38. | |
the Sun. This is, well, quite a bold headline. 'Dangerous Dave. PM can't | :06:39. | :06:50. | |
protect Brits'. There is some reason to say this when you look further | :06:51. | :06:58. | |
in. It's a slight stretch... You might have to make a judgement next | :06:59. | :07:03. | |
week about it. It says you can't trust the Prime Minister, you can't | :07:04. | :07:06. | |
protect Britain's money. Boris has written an open letter, saying, we | :07:07. | :07:12. | |
are not sure whether in the future Britain might have to bail out other | :07:13. | :07:16. | |
governments in the eurozone, because we are not members of them and we | :07:17. | :07:27. | |
don't have to bail them out at the moment. Boris basically says he | :07:28. | :07:35. | |
doesn't trust and the public can't trust the EU. The government | :07:36. | :07:38. | |
promises we might have to pay at some point in the future. You don't | :07:39. | :07:44. | |
think it is such a stretch? I don't. The third paragraph of the letter | :07:45. | :07:49. | |
says the public can't trust the EU or government promises that we will | :07:50. | :07:51. | |
pay for the eurozone bailout, given the history of how we have been | :07:52. | :07:58. | |
outvoted. That's fair enough. You can't trust Boris or the EU. It is | :07:59. | :08:04. | |
the same letter! It leaves you wondering what will happen after the | :08:05. | :08:09. | |
referendum. The day after when they have to sit around the table again. | :08:10. | :08:14. | |
Exactly. Boris will be given the department of... Of paperclips or | :08:15. | :08:22. | |
something when he is back. An award for his loyalty to the Prime | :08:23. | :08:26. | |
Minister! Quite. It is very confusing. We were talking earlier | :08:27. | :08:31. | |
about how in the end when we go to the ballot boxes we are going to | :08:32. | :08:35. | |
vote the way we thought about this six months ago. You don't think it | :08:36. | :08:41. | |
will change very much? David Cameron must be regretting calling a | :08:42. | :08:49. | |
referendum. A referendum he didn't need to call and was done purely to | :08:50. | :08:53. | |
try... A couple of use ago, to keep UKIP in its box. Now UKIP isn't much | :08:54. | :09:01. | |
to be seen, it isn't such a worry, as much as the fact as the Tory | :09:02. | :09:04. | |
party is stabbing each other in the face. Meanwhile, there is a far | :09:05. | :09:08. | |
right plot to hijack wrecks it, according to the Mail on Sunday. Who | :09:09. | :09:14. | |
thought racist would want to join a campaign where you don't want | :09:15. | :09:16. | |
racists in the -- immigrants in the country? What is interesting is that | :09:17. | :09:23. | |
The Daily Mail during the week said, you need to leave the EU. It | :09:24. | :09:28. | |
is dreadful. And then the Mail on Sunday, with a different editor, | :09:29. | :09:34. | |
said something different. I would be interested to see how The Daily Mail | :09:35. | :09:37. | |
responds on Sunday. I bet they will save Remain campaign has a line of | :09:38. | :09:45. | |
extremism as well. It will shake up middle England. Should we really be | :09:46. | :09:55. | |
voting for a Brexit? I was struck by what you said, that you think people | :09:56. | :09:58. | |
may vote how they would have voted before the campaign began. But one | :09:59. | :10:05. | |
of the opinion polls published today suggests there has been a shift of | :10:06. | :10:09. | |
one percentage point. It is within the margin of error, it is only one | :10:10. | :10:12. | |
poll and you have to look at the trend. It does make you wonder how | :10:13. | :10:18. | |
much is being achieved by all of the effort, or the campaigning and | :10:19. | :10:26. | |
publicity. When did you ever believe anything an opinion poll actually | :10:27. | :10:30. | |
said? They are very seldom write about general elections. This feels | :10:31. | :10:34. | |
like a general election. It is turning very nasty. People are | :10:35. | :10:39. | |
becoming quite personal about air attacks and who they trust. I think | :10:40. | :10:45. | |
we will just look at the people who are actually fronting these | :10:46. | :10:47. | |
campaigns and think, who do you trust? Tony Blair? Iain Duncan | :10:48. | :10:54. | |
Smith? They've got horrible people on both sides! They are all equally | :10:55. | :10:59. | |
loathsome. George Galloway or George Osborne? Or Boris? Let's go for some | :11:00. | :11:09. | |
other news. The Sunday Times. As well is a terrific picture of | :11:10. | :11:11. | |
Muhammad Ali at the height of his powers, to the right of that, the | :11:12. | :11:15. | |
navy called into Control Panel for migrants. This is a reaction to the | :11:16. | :11:20. | |
revelation of a boat that was found to be sinking in the English | :11:21. | :11:22. | |
Channel, with migrants clutched to it. They were duly rescued by the | :11:23. | :11:33. | |
coastguard. Here now that all of these little boats will go from the | :11:34. | :11:38. | |
French coast to the English coast. The navy is not about to patrol the | :11:39. | :11:44. | |
channel. It is a bit of a stretch. What has happened is the Border | :11:45. | :11:50. | |
Force, which has three rubber armbands and a little polystyrene | :11:51. | :11:55. | |
float has asked the Royal Navy for help unsurprisingly and the Royal | :11:56. | :12:00. | |
Navy are proposing to offer several offshore boats, by which Royal | :12:01. | :12:11. | |
Marines can go up the beach. They can reach certain speeds and they | :12:12. | :12:16. | |
will have machine guns and so on taken. -- taken off. The media has | :12:17. | :12:24. | |
been asked for help because nobody else has ships. -- the needy. -- | :12:25. | :12:34. | |
navy. Moving on to a little story at the bottom left. This is intriguing. | :12:35. | :12:41. | |
Alastair Campbell in the clear, it says, in the Chilcott report. This | :12:42. | :12:45. | |
is interesting. If you read this carefully it looks like something | :12:46. | :12:49. | |
that has been leaked by the Tony Blair camp. He hasn't received an | :12:50. | :13:01. | |
e-mail, outlining where he will be ticked. This maximisation process. | :13:02. | :13:06. | |
You get a chance to fight it. That's probably why it has taken so long, | :13:07. | :13:12. | |
so far. Anybody who is going to be criticised has had their more years | :13:13. | :13:21. | |
poring over this for years now. The dodgy dossier was so deep at the | :13:22. | :13:31. | |
time. It seems only wish all to me that Alastair will not be censored | :13:32. | :13:38. | |
in some way. I can't believe in 2.6 million words, that John Chilcot | :13:39. | :13:44. | |
hasn't found a future say about Alastair Campbell. Sadly we don't | :13:45. | :13:49. | |
have that many words left. Thank you both very much for being here | :13:50. | :13:55. | |
tonight. We have The Film Review coming up next. We will be back with | :13:56. | :14:01. | |
more news at the top of the hour. | :14:02. | :14:02. |
