:01:28. > :01:30.in Louisville, Kentucky. Today, thousands of fans gathered
:01:31. > :01:34.there for Muhamad Ali's funeral, celebrating the life
:01:35. > :01:35.of arguably the best-loved We can cross live now
:01:36. > :02:00.to Laura Trevelyan in Louisville. It's an emotional day he here, where
:02:01. > :02:07.thousands of people have lined the route of Muhammad Ali's final
:02:08. > :02:12.journey. People threw flowers, they cried, cheered, chanted. This is a
:02:13. > :02:17.day that Muhammad Ali himself happily choreographed, every detail,
:02:18. > :02:20.from the root of his final procession to the memorial service
:02:21. > :02:24.that will be held this afternoon. He wanted is like to be held in the way
:02:25. > :02:29.that he chose, his performance inside the ring and outside the ring
:02:30. > :02:36.as a civil rights advocate and a proud American Muslim. Here is my
:02:37. > :02:43.colleague John south. The man they call the Louisville lip
:02:44. > :02:53.on his final lap. At the funeral, pallbearers gather. Former world
:02:54. > :03:03.heavyweight Champion Mike Tyson, as his coughing is loaded into the
:03:04. > :03:10.hearse. A final journey that will take in the streets from around his
:03:11. > :03:16.home where he grew up, and where he fought the segregation of that time.
:03:17. > :03:20.Around him, the street I literally echoing to his name. Lining the
:03:21. > :03:28.route, those whose lives he touched and the people who knew him as a
:03:29. > :03:33.friend. What was he like as a man? Funny, he had a great sense of
:03:34. > :03:41.humour. He did the magical tricks. When you leave Ali, you always think
:03:42. > :03:47.because he has nothing to say to bring on wisdom. I was and still am
:03:48. > :03:53.very sad, but he left a legacy that will keep going. He has just gone
:03:54. > :04:00.very short time. He lives in us. Since his death was announced, the
:04:01. > :04:04.Muhammad Ali Centre has become a mini shrine, a people where people
:04:05. > :04:12.can come together. I spoke to his friend and fellow civil rights
:04:13. > :04:21.activist. They embrace his genius, the world, and I am sad because I
:04:22. > :04:27.will miss him. His life and legacy and music lives on. It may be over
:04:28. > :04:32.50 years since he fought his battles on race and the Vietnam War, and 50
:04:33. > :04:35.years since he became world Champion, but this is someone whose
:04:36. > :04:42.significance went way beyond sports and politics and he transcends the
:04:43. > :04:47.generations. There are young and old on the streets today, and to modern
:04:48. > :04:54.America, his fight against injustice and intolerance still resonates. He
:04:55. > :05:04.is a cultural icon, and to those on the streets, he was and still
:05:05. > :05:07.remains the greatest. Our North America editor reporting
:05:08. > :05:13.there. It feels as though the world has come to Louisville today, but
:05:14. > :05:17.one person who couldn't be here today was President Barack Obama,
:05:18. > :05:20.and that is because his daughters graduating from high school today
:05:21. > :05:26.and he wanted to be there. But he has paid tribute to Muhammad Ali.
:05:27. > :05:30.There have been times were I have been the underdog, just like the
:05:31. > :05:37.champ, and there were times when I got beat up a little bit and had to
:05:38. > :05:47.come back. That's what these boxing gloves represent. So I just want to
:05:48. > :05:50.say to you, not just all the fans around the world who drew such
:05:51. > :05:59.inspiration from Muhammad Ali, but most importantly to his family, to
:06:00. > :06:07.his wife and kids, to everybody who I know is celebrating a life this
:06:08. > :06:11.week, it's very rare where a figure captures the imagination of the
:06:12. > :06:25.entire world, and it even rarer when that figure does so by being open
:06:26. > :06:32.and funny and generous and courageous. He was one of a kind
:06:33. > :06:40.and, in my book, he will always be the greatest. President Obama there
:06:41. > :06:44.being tribute to Muhammad Ali. People have come from all corners of
:06:45. > :06:50.the world from across America to pay their respects to the boxing great.
:06:51. > :06:53.One of these people is the Reverend Jesse Jackson, the civil rights
:06:54. > :07:02.leader. Here's what he had to say earlier. He was the master of his
:07:03. > :07:14.skill, arguably the best boxer of all time, certainly in the world. He
:07:15. > :07:19.used that exalted platform to due two things, one was to reflect upon
:07:20. > :07:27.the painful past come he grew up in the racial apartheid, ... And he
:07:28. > :07:33.couldn't be served here in a restaurant in Louisville. His
:07:34. > :07:46.parents had to pay taxes and couldn't vote. He was pained by
:07:47. > :07:54.that. He chose to get better and not bitter. And I'm glad. He kept
:07:55. > :08:07.embracing all people and religions. It then became crunch time, to
:08:08. > :08:11.become killed... Said the US Government tried to draft him to the
:08:12. > :08:14.Vietnam War. But he said that he wouldn't fight in the Vietnam War.
:08:15. > :08:28.He said that he had no quarrel with them. 3 million people were killed
:08:29. > :08:36.in that war. He refused to go, but huge criticism by the press, by his
:08:37. > :08:42.own religion and friends, yet he lived to go from being reviled, he
:08:43. > :08:54.outlived the criticism of his and Taiwan position -- anti-war. He made
:08:55. > :09:02.such a sacrifice. He was banned from boxing for three years. Yes, and
:09:03. > :09:10.willing to go to jail for five years. That level of sacrifice takes
:09:11. > :09:16.him to a level of seriousness and authenticity beyond the average. He
:09:17. > :09:20.is a Champion in the boxing ring but a hero outside the ring. And that
:09:21. > :09:23.was the Reverend Jesse Jackson talking to me little earlier.
:09:24. > :09:31.Joining me to reflect on everything we have seen so far and what to come
:09:32. > :09:35.is BBC corresponded. It feels at the world is here. People have come from
:09:36. > :09:41.across the world and America. What have people been seen to you about
:09:42. > :09:48.what Muhammad Ali meant to them? They keep saying, he is one of us. I
:09:49. > :09:52.got here at seven o'clock in the morning and the queues were snaking
:09:53. > :09:58.around the building, three lanes deep. I spoke to someone who had
:09:59. > :10:03.stayed up all night to get a ticket for this. Another person had come
:10:04. > :10:10.all the way from Los Angeles, someone named after Muhammad Ali. He
:10:11. > :10:14.always made a point to himself that if you outlived Muhammad Ali, he
:10:15. > :10:20.would go to the funeral wherever it was because he Muhammad Ali was a
:10:21. > :10:26.beacon of hope for him. And what is your feeling about what Muhammad Ali
:10:27. > :10:30.stood for? What is driving people? I think it goes bigger than that.
:10:31. > :10:36.You're talking about a man who was willing to stand up and say, I had
:10:37. > :10:39.the greatest, at a time when America was racially divided. It was
:10:40. > :10:45.empowering, it made you feel proud to be black. A lot of people talk
:10:46. > :10:52.about how America was racially divided at the time, and they took a
:10:53. > :10:59.lot of inspiration about someone if you stayed strong in this adversity.
:11:00. > :11:05.Fighting for the biggest prize in boxing, that helped to cement his
:11:06. > :11:11.legacy. In the next hour or so, that star-studded memorial service is due
:11:12. > :11:15.to begin. What can we expect there? It was very carefully planned by the
:11:16. > :11:23.Muhammad Ali himself. Yes, it was a ten year plan. He signed off on its
:11:24. > :11:35.years ago. He wanted a demon, he wanted Bill Clinton to be given
:11:36. > :11:40.eulogies -- a theme. There are so many layers to him, which is why I
:11:41. > :11:49.think it will be so difficult to replace him in the future. It gave
:11:50. > :11:54.people courage to stand up and be antiestablishment. The fact that he
:11:55. > :11:57.was willing to risk it all shows how his influence goes way beyond that.
:11:58. > :12:02.I have spoken to people from all over the world and that shows the
:12:03. > :12:07.impact this man had. Thank you very much for joining us. That's memorial
:12:08. > :12:12.service will be carried live here on BBC news when it happens. We are
:12:13. > :12:17.expecting it to happen in about an hour. An extraordinary day here in
:12:18. > :12:30.Louisville, Kentucky, as their city remembers its a bit son Muhammad
:12:31. > :12:37.Ali. A National Service of thanksgiving has taken place at St
:12:38. > :12:41.Paul's Cathedral to mark the Queen's 90th birthday. The service was
:12:42. > :12:51.attended by members of the Royal family, including the Duke of
:12:52. > :12:56.Edinburgh on his own 95th birthday. Between them, they've known 185
:12:57. > :13:03.years of life's experiences, 90 years in the case of the Queen, 95
:13:04. > :13:06.years in the case of the Duke. He celebrates his birthday today. But
:13:07. > :13:19.if the long life of a monarch which brings together people in St Paul's
:13:20. > :13:24.Cathedral. For her faithful devotion, dutiful commitment, loving
:13:25. > :13:31.leadership, gentle constancy, royal dignity and kindly humanity. She's
:13:32. > :13:37.been known to tell clergyman not to overdo the praise on occasions like
:13:38. > :13:40.this, but as family members who will follow in her footsteps and
:13:41. > :13:48.politicians whose time on the national stage comes and goes
:13:49. > :13:52.listened, the Archbishop of Canterbury to find a contribution to
:13:53. > :13:57.national life, the likes of which we won't see again. We look back at Her
:13:58. > :14:02.Majesty's time in our nation with deep wonder and profound gratitude.
:14:03. > :14:08.Through war and hardship, through turmoil and change, your Majesty,
:14:09. > :14:14.today we rejoice with a way in which God's loving care has sustained you.
:14:15. > :14:21.As well as Prince Philip marking his 95th birthday today. Reflections on
:14:22. > :14:25.the passing of the year is written by 119-year-old comedy Paddington
:14:26. > :14:34.Bear creator Michael Bond, read by another 19-year-old Sir David
:14:35. > :14:38.Attenborough, used words written by the Queen's father. Truly, if you
:14:39. > :14:48.put your hand into the hand of God, that shall be to you better than
:14:49. > :14:52.light and safer than in own way. Members of different faith groups
:14:53. > :14:56.joined an act of thanksgiving, a reminder of how Britain has changed
:14:57. > :15:04.during the course of the Queen's rain. One feature that has remained
:15:05. > :15:07.constant and for that person on this day, the congregation sang the
:15:08. > :15:20.national anthem with more than usual feeling. The Queen left Saint Pauls,
:15:21. > :15:27.steadying herself on a specially installed handrail. At 90, a head of

:16:44. > :16:47.It all starts with the host nation France against Romania
:16:48. > :17:02.these pictures show the cloud arriving ahead of that big opening
:17:03. > :17:07.game. And unsurprisingly it is mostly French fans. Most seem to be
:17:08. > :17:11.in good spirits despite a very stringent security checks.
:17:12. > :17:13.A massive security operation is underway with the country
:17:14. > :17:33.More trouble with English fans down south.
:17:34. > :17:36.Yes, given everything that you have just said, the French authorities
:17:37. > :17:41.have got plenty to concern themselves with opt on the security
:17:42. > :17:46.front given everything that happened last year. Once again, some English
:17:47. > :17:54.fans are living up to very old stereotypes. Last night, just before
:17:55. > :17:59.midnight, we saw clashes between fans and French police. Tear gas was
:18:00. > :18:04.fired, we know two fans were arrested. Today, we understand a
:18:05. > :18:08.group of fans has been drinking in the area all day long and again we
:18:09. > :18:13.have had violent clashes between these English men and French riot
:18:14. > :18:20.police. We have got a whole lot of detail on what sparked the violence,
:18:21. > :18:26.or how many people were involved -- we don't have a lot of detail, but
:18:27. > :18:29.once again English fans are making headlines for the wrong reasons. I
:18:30. > :18:35.think there is particular frustration that given the huge
:18:36. > :18:41.efforts the bench security are taking -- French security, there are
:18:42. > :18:43.also having to focus on keeping an eye on a group of drunken
:18:44. > :18:51.Englishmen. And what is the industrial action
:18:52. > :18:54.that has paralysed in France at the moment, is that good to interrupt
:18:55. > :18:59.the tournament? It is a big question, certainly it
:19:00. > :19:05.has been at the front of political discussions today. It has been
:19:06. > :19:10.forcefully said that no French people should try to undermine what
:19:11. > :19:15.should be a successful celebration. Union leaders have said that they
:19:16. > :19:18.didn't pick the date of this tournament, there is a social
:19:19. > :19:23.movement going on and it shouldn't stop. But we are talking about
:19:24. > :19:26.potential large-scale disruption, rather than actual large-scale
:19:27. > :19:30.disruption. There has been a rolling rail strike going on for a number of
:19:31. > :19:37.weeks. That doesn't seem to be having a huge impact on rail
:19:38. > :19:41.services. It could affect fans get into certain games, but that doesn't
:19:42. > :19:46.appear to have manifested itself in a certain way. Although the
:19:47. > :19:50.Government has focused on those protests not getting in the way of
:19:51. > :19:56.the fans' experience, and some are suggesting that they may use this as
:19:57. > :19:59.a way of getting leverage with the government, at the moment that is
:20:00. > :20:05.more of a potential disruption that a real one.
:20:06. > :20:21.The online company Gawker Media has been fined. We are joined by our
:20:22. > :20:32.business corresponded to joined us from New York. The auction process
:20:33. > :20:37.has been filed. -- they are being auctioned off. They have decided
:20:38. > :20:41.that they are going to continue to fight this case. There is a bit of a
:20:42. > :20:47.legal loophole in which a judge has said that they will have to pay a
:20:48. > :20:50.$15 million bond. But bilingual chapter 11 allows them that some
:20:51. > :21:04.protections, at least from starting to pay some big chapter 11s in this
:21:05. > :21:11.case. Especially since Gawker Media have said that they are going to be
:21:12. > :21:15.fighting this case. If you listen to the CEO of Gawker Media, he is very
:21:16. > :21:18.confident that they will be able to win on the appeal. And when it comes
:21:19. > :21:30.to the value of this company, there is one bid of 100 million, is that
:21:31. > :21:37.an right price? The company that is now being rumoured to at least put
:21:38. > :21:40.in a bid for it, it is a company that has been struggling in the
:21:41. > :21:46.computer space. They were really good at computer magazines, they are
:21:47. > :21:50.no longer in that space because print is very difficult, so that
:21:51. > :21:52.could be a good acquisition for them.
:21:53. > :21:54.A BBC investigation has found young migrants,
:21:55. > :21:55.including teenagers, are resorting to prostitution
:21:56. > :21:59.The authorities say nearly 60,000 migrants are currently in Greece
:22:00. > :22:01.scattered in various camps across the Aegean islands
:22:02. > :22:09.They imagined Europe as a place where they would
:22:10. > :22:12.rebuild their lives, but the borders have closed
:22:13. > :22:17.and the nearly 60,000 migrants in Greece are stranded.
:22:18. > :22:19.The sanctuary they sought has become a dead end.
:22:20. > :22:25.In Athens, beyond the isolation of the camps,
:22:26. > :22:33.This park is in the centre of the city, where young men face
:22:34. > :22:42.choices they couldn't have imagined before starting their journey.
:22:43. > :22:45.Walk along the path and you discover a world of open drug use
:22:46. > :22:47.and male prostitution, a place of lawlessness where young
:22:48. > :22:49.migrants resort to selling sex for a few euros.
:22:50. > :23:00.His hope to reach Germany has vanished, but he needs 400 euros,
:23:01. > :23:08.around ?300, to pay the smugglers who will take him home.
:23:09. > :23:10.TRANSLATION: I have no other way to make money,
:23:11. > :23:14.so I have sex with old men here for five or 10 euros.
:23:15. > :23:17.How did you feel the first time you do it?
:23:18. > :23:19.TRANSLATION: I had never done this before.
:23:20. > :23:30.This may just look like rubbish, but if you look closely at these
:23:31. > :23:33.places, it is littered with used condoms, paper tissues, evidence
:23:34. > :23:37.The migrants and their clients don't go very far to conduct
:23:38. > :23:42.They just step into the bushes and do it right here.
:23:43. > :23:44.Young men are effectively trapped behind these railings,
:23:45. > :23:51.often lured by a stranger pretending to offer help.
:23:52. > :23:53.Somebody approaches them, they say to them, OK,
:23:54. > :23:56.I'm here, I can help you, or you can earn some money
:23:57. > :24:10.We saw teenagers waiting for clients in the park.
:24:11. > :24:16.Amir, an Afghan, who says he is 20 but looks much younger,
:24:17. > :24:21.has told us boys as young as 15 are selling themselves.
:24:22. > :24:23.Astonishingly, Amir said he was grateful to find all the men
:24:24. > :24:36.so he could earn money, but he's also scared and ashamed.
:24:37. > :24:38.TRANSLATION: I've thought of suicide several times,
:24:39. > :24:45.but then I think of my mother and the pain she would go through.
:24:46. > :24:48.So you now regret to have come to Europe?
:24:49. > :24:50.TRANSLATION: Yes, I'd rather be home with my family.
:24:51. > :24:52.Hopelessness has parked a mass movement of people into Europe.
:24:53. > :24:54.The closing of borders has created a desperation,
:24:55. > :24:56.which is pushing young men into a world
:24:57. > :25:24.Just before we leave you, let's take you back to France, to the Stade de
:25:25. > :25:28.France, the game between France and Firmino beginning in about an hour.
:25:29. > :25:40.A different story in the south, however. There was clashes between
:25:41. > :25:46.youths. Police fired tear gas. Hearing that English fans had been
:25:47. > :25:49.drinking all day long and had been involved in skirmishes all day long.
:25:50. > :25:59.A very different story here in Paris, there's the gaining of the
:26:00. > :26:01.euro 2016, police on the streets ensuring the safety of the players
:26:02. > :26:14.and the fans. Goodbye. Difficult to put detail on the
:26:15. > :26:15.weather as we will see a lot of
