:00:00. > :00:00.individual apparatus finals later today, you could see it from 4pm on
:00:00. > :00:14.BBC Two. Now, the papers. Hello and welcome to our Sunday
:00:15. > :00:18.morning edition of The Papers. With me Ian Birrell,
:00:19. > :00:20.Contributing Editor of the Mail on Sunday and author
:00:21. > :00:22.and Foreign Correspondent, Today's front pages? The digital
:00:23. > :00:29.Independent carries an image of the man who's on the front
:00:30. > :00:40.of virtually every paper - The Express on Sunday shows
:00:41. > :00:44.a picture of Muhammad Ali in his later years, with the quote
:00:45. > :00:46."Don't count the days, The Sun on Sunday shows a picture
:00:47. > :00:50.of a young Muhammad Ali back when he was still
:00:51. > :00:52.known as Cassius Clay. The Observer also shows a picture
:00:53. > :00:55.of Ali and in the corner has a poignant quote
:00:56. > :00:57.from President Obama and his wife. The Sunday Times also has a picture
:00:58. > :01:01.of Ali but leads on reports that the Royal Navy have been asked
:01:02. > :01:04.to patrol the English Channel to look for migrants
:01:05. > :01:08.trying to get to the UK. The Mail on Sunday leads with claims
:01:09. > :01:11.that the campaign for Britain to leave the EU has been infiltrated
:01:12. > :01:20.by dozens of far-right extremists. A look at the pictures first. We
:01:21. > :01:30.have spoken a lot about Muhammad Ali of the West 24 hours. -- over the
:01:31. > :01:37.last 24 hours. Clinton said he did not know if he was a boxer on a
:01:38. > :01:43.ballerina, and you get a sense of the Grace from the pictures. All the
:01:44. > :01:48.papers have a stunning array of pictures, including some of the
:01:49. > :01:54.greatest sports shots I have ever seen. Also, his dignity, political
:01:55. > :01:58.power and importance comes across. The writing reflects it. There are
:01:59. > :02:02.wonderful pieces about why he was the greatest sports person, what he
:02:03. > :02:05.was like to see, his extraordinary stop- start career, winning the
:02:06. > :02:10.title three times. And the incredible political legacy. A man
:02:11. > :02:14.at the peak of his ambitions and career, a world title holder,
:02:15. > :02:19.stepped back and said, I will not accept the draft, and took on the
:02:20. > :02:24.forces of the United States Establishment, successfully. And for
:02:25. > :02:27.such noble reasons. It is incredible, when you sit back and
:02:28. > :02:32.consider that, today, could somebody really do that? They would be a
:02:33. > :02:38.product for corporations. They would be savaged in the media. And it is
:02:39. > :02:43.important to reflect how important he was in the history of the
:02:44. > :02:49.century. This is a guy from the age of 25-29, the peak of a sportsman is
:02:50. > :02:53.career, everybody knows that, was out. And he did not have too. He
:02:54. > :02:59.could have gone to the Army and got a soft option. But he just refused.
:03:00. > :03:05.Exactly, it was Muhammad Ali being himself. He showed you can just be
:03:06. > :03:09.your own person. That was what gave him such an iconic status. His
:03:10. > :03:15.refusal to do what he was told. And it was not just at that time, he was
:03:16. > :03:19.obviously a polarising figure and then, but in later life he was a
:03:20. > :03:25.hero of the Grace who brought to confronting Parkinson's disease. An
:03:26. > :03:30.extremely difficult and debilitating illness. He lit the Olympic torch in
:03:31. > :03:33.Atlanta in very moving scenes. It was that grace he brought to that
:03:34. > :03:38.struggle as well which rounded out his legacy. Extraordinary man. All
:03:39. > :03:52.of the papers have done well in that. Some of the other content. The
:03:53. > :03:57.Sun, and this is part of our Brexit section which will go on for weeks,
:03:58. > :04:01.Boris Johnson, you cannot trust the Prime Minister. You have got people
:04:02. > :04:06.who sit down in Cabinet, the very top of the government. And they do
:04:07. > :04:11.not trust each other. And they say it publicly. We go from a story of a
:04:12. > :04:18.man of incredible ability and integrity... To talk about Boris
:04:19. > :04:24.Johnson. Behaving in the Ashley opposite way with shameless, self
:04:25. > :04:27.serving attempts. Attacking the Prime Minister first on immigration,
:04:28. > :04:33.now on the economy. And this is a man who wrote two versions of his
:04:34. > :04:37.column, reportedly, because he could not decide whether he wanted to go
:04:38. > :04:42.in or out. He was once pro-immigration and now sounds like
:04:43. > :04:45.Nigel Farage. Saying that the government which she is a part of
:04:46. > :04:54.cannot be trusted on newcomer. Bottomley shameless. -- cannot be
:04:55. > :05:02.trusted on the economy, utterly shameless. He is saying that we
:05:03. > :05:06.cannot avoid further bailouts down-the-line particularly if the EU
:05:07. > :05:09.brings in new members. But you are right, it is hard to take him
:05:10. > :05:17.seriously on any of these issues now. Your own paper has much on
:05:18. > :05:20.Brexit, or otherwise, including David Cameron suggesting that those
:05:21. > :05:27.who wish to leave have got it all wrong and are living in cloud cuckoo
:05:28. > :05:35.land. Looking at the splash, far right in plot to hijack Brexit. And
:05:36. > :05:40.on the inside pages... If I can get a bit, where are we? Here we are. A
:05:41. > :05:47.double page spread. The neo-Nazi Brexit supporter, and a number of
:05:48. > :05:54.stories about various individuals with far right connections who are
:05:55. > :06:01.part of the Brexit campaign. This is an important story. We had Michael
:06:02. > :06:05.Gove talking about a campaign of hope and optimism. And today he is
:06:06. > :06:11.talking about a one nation campaign, a progressive cause. Yet the reality
:06:12. > :06:14.is he has sided with, unfortunately, people like Ian Boris Johnson, they
:06:15. > :06:20.have sided with some of the most malevolent forces in populist
:06:21. > :06:25.politics today -- he and Boris Johnson. That is why it is supported
:06:26. > :06:31.on board by the head of the National front in France. Far right leaders
:06:32. > :06:34.in Holland. And now we see here that it is also supported by a host of
:06:35. > :06:43.very unpleasant people. Not just ultra conservatives. People jailed
:06:44. > :06:48.for thuggery. Out and out Nazis. This is not just about smearing
:06:49. > :06:55.people. You need to sit back and ask, why do people like this support
:06:56. > :06:59.the idea of Brexit? Cause, as Michael Gove says, they want a fair
:07:00. > :07:05.immigration system? That is unlikely. This is a divisive group
:07:06. > :07:10.of people pushing an isolationist, Little England cause, and that is
:07:11. > :07:16.the reality, people who I respect, who are moderate, pushing for noble
:07:17. > :07:19.reasons for a Brexit, still need to consider why these sorts of people
:07:20. > :07:25.also backed the same cause. Unfortunately they are divisive,
:07:26. > :07:32.attempting to stop immigration, and to withdraw Britain, not about
:07:33. > :07:38.sovereignty, but to pull back from and become isolationist in the
:07:39. > :07:45.world. When you see a woman with a swastika on her breast supporting
:07:46. > :07:49.this, yes, it is only a small part of it and there are plenty of good
:07:50. > :07:57.reasons not to want to be in Europe... Yes, and the campaign can
:07:58. > :08:01.say, we can help it if some people on the fringes give out leaflets and
:08:02. > :08:06.set up stalls. Yet this rogues gallery assembled by the newspaper
:08:07. > :08:11.is pretty shocking, isn't it? This chap sitting with his we want our
:08:12. > :08:18.country back sign between the graves of the Kray twins, that is pretty
:08:19. > :08:25.disturbing. This guy went to jail for several months for violence.
:08:26. > :08:29.Yes, and several others are associated with the BNP, the English
:08:30. > :08:32.Defence League, this woman has a Nazi swastika tattooed on her
:08:33. > :08:37.breast, and is out there handing out leaflets. At the very least the
:08:38. > :08:42.campaign should do something to distance themselves from these
:08:43. > :08:51.people in a more strident way. There is an old phrase, you are judged by
:08:52. > :08:55.your friends. Let's move on to the Observer. It has some interesting
:08:56. > :09:00.analysis on North versus South, young versus old, the new fault
:09:01. > :09:07.lines of the UK political map. A bar chart, even I can understand that,
:09:08. > :09:23.where you can see that Labour supporters mostly support Remain,
:09:24. > :09:31.Ukip supporters support Brexit, if you are university educated you are
:09:32. > :09:37.more likely to support Remain, and so on. This is a very divided
:09:38. > :09:42.country. Across the West we are seeing it. We see it in Austria, we
:09:43. > :09:49.see it with Donald Trump, and we see it in Britain, a division in
:09:50. > :09:59.attitudes. Although I would love to find the 3% of Ukip supporters who
:10:00. > :10:06.will vote to stay! That could be a statistical error, I am not sure!
:10:07. > :10:12.Over 60s are most likely to vote, which is alarming for those who want
:10:13. > :10:18.to Remain, but also, those with a higher level of education are also
:10:19. > :10:21.more likely to vote Remain, so we must be careful not to judge too
:10:22. > :10:28.much from this, but it does show a division, and why the future of the
:10:29. > :10:31.country, the young people, 18-39, are so strongly in favour of
:10:32. > :10:36.staying. It is interesting, I was told by a key campaigner wishing to
:10:37. > :10:41.stay that the most powerful message delivered to those who want to go,
:10:42. > :10:46.and who tend to be older, is, think about your grandchildren. And we can
:10:47. > :10:49.see why. Because there is an age divide. And the future of the
:10:50. > :10:54.country is with people who wish to stay in Europe. That is such a
:10:55. > :10:58.problem if we go out from Europe, when the next generation so clearly
:10:59. > :11:08.want to stay. The interesting thing is the correlation between the Leave
:11:09. > :11:12.voters and areas of economic decline. There is a growing gulf
:11:13. > :11:16.between London and the rest of the country. Whichever way the vote goes
:11:17. > :11:27.that is a real priority for the government to address. London should
:11:28. > :11:36.Brexit from the UK? In many ways it already has! I did argue that in the
:11:37. > :11:40.FT! Many places have just been abandoned to their fate and no
:11:41. > :11:45.government has come up with an effective solution. It is
:11:46. > :11:53.understandable, why people feel so angry, when they have been
:11:54. > :11:56.abandoned. Exactly, yes. Royal Marines may be called into the
:11:57. > :12:01.English Channel. I must declare an interest. I live in Kent and see
:12:02. > :12:05.frigates going up and down the channel quite often. Maybe they are
:12:06. > :12:08.just fishing, I don't know. They have not actually found anybody
:12:09. > :12:11.landing, one or two boats as you know have been rescued over the past
:12:12. > :12:19.year but the MoD say there is currently no request for a presence,
:12:20. > :12:23.so if you have that as your splash, and get that response by 10am the
:12:24. > :12:28.next morning, you cannot be pleased. That is not what you want, on a
:12:29. > :12:32.Sunday morning, only getting one go a week, to have your splash
:12:33. > :12:35.demolished in that way. The truth is there had been a few attempts to
:12:36. > :12:40.cross the Channel by some people but this story is very overinflated. The
:12:41. > :12:43.idea there is an invasion of people waiting to come across by boats, I
:12:44. > :12:48.speak to people and places like Jordan and Turkey, if you have the
:12:49. > :12:53.money you just fly over. You don't need to risk your life in the
:12:54. > :13:01.world's is used maritime area. -- busiest. It is very busy and
:13:02. > :13:04.dangerous. There is an interesting story about a former French
:13:05. > :13:08.paratrooper who took across 12 Albanians on his yacht, simply
:13:09. > :13:13.cruised up a river in heaven and dropped them off at the key and then
:13:14. > :13:19.went to a point after. This was a few years ago and he could court and
:13:20. > :13:24.fined of course. -- Devon. Whether the Royal Marines would catch him I
:13:25. > :13:29.am not so sure. The headline is perhaps the problem with this story.
:13:30. > :13:34.Royal Navy called in to hold migrants makes it sound like there
:13:35. > :13:46.will be destroyers and battleships. Where would we them actually? The
:13:47. > :13:50.new aircraft carriers! There are a few boats the Royal Navy users to
:13:51. > :13:56.control fishing grounds... As we know, it is not about physical
:13:57. > :14:02.action, it is about intelligence and... Much bigger forces are at
:14:03. > :14:11.work than can be held back by a few boats. The easiest way to stop
:14:12. > :14:14.immigration is to crash the economy! The Chilcott report. It says
:14:15. > :14:22.Alistair Campbell is in the clear but Tony Blair will, Cropper, that
:14:23. > :14:30.is basically what they say. I am wary of these stories, there are a
:14:31. > :14:34.lot of leaks from people attempting to protect themselves. We are
:14:35. > :14:39.getting a semblance but we will not know until the report comes out in
:14:40. > :14:45.July so we need to be wary. I'm in the excitement before Hutton, all
:14:46. > :14:49.these stories breaking out, then it was the biggest whitewashing
:14:50. > :14:52.history. So we need to be cautious. But many people will be very happy
:14:53. > :15:00.if that does have his reputation trashed. -- if Tony Blair has his
:15:01. > :15:06.reputation trashed. I am not so sure Alistair Campbell should escape
:15:07. > :15:09.scot-free given his own activities. From the story it does sound like
:15:10. > :15:15.the Tony Blair camp is in crisis mode, thinking about how they will
:15:16. > :15:24.respond. But not the Campbell camp! Exactly. Walking away, Whistling!
:15:25. > :15:29.For me one of the stories of the week is this awful story in the
:15:30. > :15:32.Observer, the billion-dollar trade behind the scandal of the Asian
:15:33. > :15:38.Tiger Temple. We were wondering, what on earth are similar tigers,
:15:39. > :15:45.these dead tiger cubs, doing in the fridge in this... An extraordinary
:15:46. > :15:49.story. I recommend reading this. It shows the way that conservation and
:15:50. > :15:55.tourism and what seems to be a trade in wildlife parks, have all been
:15:56. > :15:59.blurred. 250,000 people a year visit to see these beautiful animals, they
:16:00. > :16:03.thought they were seeing a conservation project, actually it
:16:04. > :16:07.seems to be some kind of factory to exploit tiger parts and sell them.
:16:08. > :16:12.And they are saying it is not even that rare, it happens elsewhere. The
:16:13. > :16:19.statistics are horrific. Not just the legality, but also these
:16:20. > :16:24.creatures are endangered... The many things we cannot do anything about,
:16:25. > :16:29.but we should be able to do something about this, shouldn't we?
:16:30. > :16:32.We would think so, and that is why so many law-enforcement officials
:16:33. > :16:37.raided this temple and found these awful scenes of tiger carcasses in
:16:38. > :16:42.freezers. Yet the story points out that happens in many places. And
:16:43. > :16:49.there are only 3000 tigers left in the wild. Which is why the price
:16:50. > :16:52.they command in China is so high. ?40,000 for tiger skin. It is that
:16:53. > :16:58.the demand which is driving the trade. The only way to stop it is to
:16:59. > :17:04.try to persuade Chinese and other countries, in Asia, to stop seeking
:17:05. > :17:08.out that these products. Again, interestingly, it is environmental
:17:09. > :17:13.groups, environmental investigation issues, they actually stopped this,
:17:14. > :17:17.not the authorities. We hear that time and again, actually the
:17:18. > :17:23.authorities do not do much until forced. Now we are seeing the same
:17:24. > :17:30.trade with lines, also endangered, and all sorts of other animals. --
:17:31. > :17:35.lions. The authorities need to take a tougher line on this. Thank you,
:17:36. > :17:38.Ian and Matthew. We take a look at the front pages every evening at
:17:39. > :17:42.10:30pm and 11:30pm here on BBC News.
