tracey emin, who rose to fame in the 1990s, when her artwork of an unmade bed was nominated for the turner prize has become a dame. there are also damehoods for the actor, imelda staunton, and the handbag designer, anya hindmarch. the cyclist, mark cavendish, has been awarded a knighthood, along with the composer, john rutter. our business correspondent emma simpson has been to speak with alan bates — a warning this report contains some flashing images. alan bates, congratulations. thank you. what was your reaction when you found out? it was all a bit of a surprise. it was a bit out of the blue. and, also, the time it was given. i think i received it on the lunchtime of the first day of paula vennells being at the enquiry, had a look at my emails and it was there.

i thought "this is weird." "is this a wind—up?" yeah! to me these things are just say no. but there are a lot of people who want me to have something and i think the paperwork said they wanted to know by end of that day whether i was prepared to accept it. so it was all a bit of a rush, but a very pleasant surprise all the same. what does this knighthood mean for you? well, i think it's another string to my bow to try and drive the rest of the campaign home for the group. we've got to get the funding for everybody, and that's been my priority now for some time. and if it helps there, then great. that's wonderful. you turned down an obe, didn't you? why? i turned down an obe at that time because i felt it was inappropriate. i mean, paula vennells was holding the cbe for her services to post office and i felt it

would have been such an insult to the group to accept something like that. and a lot of people applauded me for doing that at that time. the last time we sat down and had a chat like this, the tv drama was about to air and you spoke about how you hoped it would have an impact. it did that, didn't it? it's been an incredible six months. it certainly woke the nation up to what had been going on. paula vennells has got the cbe. you're joking! we are fighting a war against an enemy owned by the british government, while we're just skint little people. they've been really supportive and they've shown it in so many ways. i get hundreds of e—mails from all over the country and letters and cards and all sorts there and, i mean, i think it's also great for individuals in the group,

because it's explained what happened to them and what they've been through. i haven't got that money and i don't know where it's gone! but you're not finished, though, are you? no, it's not finished by a long way. we've still got to obtain monies for the groups in there, got to make sure they're resolved at the end of the day. i mean, that's still causing a big problem. it's still tied up in bureaucracy and we can't seem to get through it, no matter what we do. you still haven't got your compensation sorted, have you? no, no. my compensation's not resolved yet either. as well as fighting everyone else's battle, i'm still fighting mine as well. i mean, ijust don't know. there is always the potential that we may finish up back in court if that's what it takes to resolve it, at the end of the day. i was going to say, what's the next step? the next step definitely for us is to return to the courts again. and this time, i think

we can raise the funding, i think the nation will support us if we have to go ahead with another case.

have you ever thought ofjust giving up, letting it go? i could never do that. notjust for my own sake, but i couldn't do it

for everyone else's sake. we've all seen the horror stories, or all heard the horror stories of people, and there are so many, and i keep hearing from so many more these days who are coming out of the woodwork and stories that have never been told. i mean, they are absolutely — it's diabolical what has happened to people. it's very, very sad. you've spent, i think, more than 20 years now devoting all your time to this campaign, to fight forjustice. what's been the high point? was it that high court victory? i think the judgments were certainly a big turning point. and it's a comment i often take is that i think at that point, we broke post office's control of the narrative, which they'd had for many, many years and which they used to do all sorts of things — to influence mps, to influence the media and all the rest of it, but those judgments certainly broke that and that enabled us then to move forward. what's been the hardest bit of it all? it's been such a long road for you. i think the hardest thing would have been to put it down. i mean, you just couldn't put something like this down. and, in fairness, it's always been one day after the next and you never know what the following day's going to bring, but it normally brings another victim to light, and so if you needed encouragement

to carry on, it's there. this is the best unpaid job i've ever had. it's certainly the longest! but, erm... have you had a day off? i'm looking forward to a day off. there's a rumour i'm having a holiday shortly, so i'm looking forward to that. how are you going to celebrate? i don't know. probably a cup of tea, slice of cake, the usual way. steady! laughter alan bates, now sir alan bates, talking to our business correspondent, emma simpson. on sunday, two football teams will come together for a special charity match, and it's being held on father's day. new dads united is a group of players who've all recently had children — while sands united is a team of bereaved fathers, who've found friendship and solidarity. our reporterjames dunn has more. it's a coming together, a chance to swap stories — this is new dads united. and it's rory�*s first session. it would be great to make some new friends, who are just going through what i am going through, becoming a father again. i'm looking forward to it, so to share that experience and play some football in between, perfect. there's a training session once a week. the time just flies by. he's 18 months now, so it's more old dads united, but it's something to look forward to and 90 minutes to yourself with people that are in the same

boat as you, and even after the 90 minutes of peace and quiet, you walk in the door and he smiles and it's just great. this isn't football, it's family — and here, there's no such thing as letting the side down. what we were trying to create is something where you don't| necessarily need to commit to playing — if you can play, great, if you can't. becoming a dad is a huge thing that nothing can prepare you for, - and it's really important that you can share how you're - feeling and the challengesj you are having with people who are going through the same thing. - but in their monthly match this father's day, they will face a team who have gone through something very different. sands united are based in raynham and every one of their team has dealt with baby loss. but what the two squads have in common is support. these lads saved me, they really did. they helped keep my marriage together, helped me get through work, planning the funeral. joe's wife had a miscarriage, then months later, a stillbirth. he joined sands three days later. when it's very raw, work cares, friends care, family cares. but three months, six months down the line, it's never mentioned, it's never brought up — their birthdays don't count for anything, you're the only one blowing candles on a cake. blowing candles out on a cake. that's the one good thing about this club, we are an unapologetic outfit

where you can say seven days a week your child's name and almost scream it from the heavens. we had lost baby mia during the original lockdown. i say, never suffer in silence, you do need a real sort of support network that will completely understand you and be there during notjust the dark days, but through good times. opportunities to remember theirangels' names, really. all we want to do is just something for them. we don't get to read them bedtime stories or pick them up from school or teach them how to ride a bike, it sounds silly, but this is what we do, it's the only thing we can do as dads, is just raise awareness and be there and try to be the best man i can in memory of my boys. the game is at faversham town this sunday, and tickets raise money for sands and dads unlimited, a support service for fathers. on the sidelines will be dozens of children — including amira, niz�*s ten—month—old healthy baby girl, and joe's son abel, now 18 months old. with help from the group, both men found the courage to try again. i love you! james dunn, bbc news, faversham. we are going to stay with football, and some sad news. the former arsenal and everton striker kevin campbell has died at the age of 5a after a short illness. he scored 148 goals across spells with eight clubs during his illustrious career.

been taking place in italy. it's winding down today after migration, chinese trade policy, and artificial intelligence were discussed on friday. pope francis made a historic address, championing talks on al. it's the first time a pope has participated in a g7 summit. mark lowen has more from the g7. i think the headline achievement was this decision to agree on a loan of $50 billion to ukraine, which they hope will be delivered by the end of the year, and which will be secured against the interest on frozen russian assets. russia has about 300 billion euros of assets frozen in europe, generating interest, the interest every year will be used to secure this $50 billion loan with several parties contributing to the money. that is the key concrete achievement of the g7. there is also achievement of the g7. there is also a ten year security deal that has been struck between ukraine and the us, with the united states committed to assisting ukraine with defence

and security over the next ten years. then there were harsh words against china. there is an unequivocal condemnation of china freezing trade subsidies to flood the market, basically, to saturate the market, basically, to saturate the market, basically, to saturate the market and overproduction of chinese goods on the market, which g7 leaders feel is stifling competition from other countries and creating a trade imbalance. they also hit out at china for its financial institutions continuing to fund russia's arms industries, threatening to take action against chinese banks on that respect, and also they hit out at china for what they called coercive and intimidation actions in the south china sea around taiwan. finally, as you pointed out, the session on artificial intelligence, attended by the pope, for the first time ever, discuss the opportunities and possibilities provided by ai, but

also the possible threat it poses to human rights and dignity and ethics. and it wraps up today. what can we expect are the final issues to be discussed?— expect are the final issues to be discussed? ., ,., , ., ., discussed? there are some bilateral meetinas discussed? there are some bilateral meetings going _ discussed? there are some bilateral meetings going on _ discussed? there are some bilateral meetings going on today, _ discussed? there are some bilateral meetings going on today, and - discussed? there are some bilateral i meetings going on today, and georgia maloney, the prime minister of italy, and has chaired the summit, she delicately has presided over this year, she will be praising the achievements of it, but there have been a few disagreements between some leaders and her on the issue of abortion. they talked about commitment to ensuring fair reproductive rights, a commitment to reproductive rights, a commitment to reproductive rights, a commitment to reproductive rights in all countries, but the word abortion, free access to free and fair abortion did not appear in that communicate. why? because giorgia meloni leads a far—right party, one which is a little bit less soft,

let's say on abortion. she passed a bill earlier this year allowing anti—abortion activists to be able to enter inside abortion clinics in order to, to enter inside abortion clinics in orderto, critics to enter inside abortion clinics in order to, critics say, to enter inside abortion clinics in orderto, critics say, put to enter inside abortion clinics in order to, critics say, put pressure on women who are thinking about aborting. france, for example, earlier this year, enshrined the right of abortion in its constitution. emmanuel macron of france are said to have criticised italy's decision to leave the word out. she hit back saying france campaigning on this issue at the g7. a bit of tension between the members on this issue. i went to take it as live pictures of giorgia meloni, who has been holding a press conference at the event. that has come up. giorgia meloni said there was no controversy over abortion during the g7 statement negotiations. she said that she was blown out of proportion at the g seven. she is answering journalist questions, so let's

a circular net of bubbles corrals and traps the whales' prey. it's a glimpse into the lives of these huge marine mammals that scientists captured while we were filming with them in the antarctic peninsula. the researchers get close to the whales to study their health. to observe them and to measure the whales' bodies, they use a drone. humpbacks migrate thousands of miles to these rich icy waters. oh, my word. scientists want to pinpoint and protect their most important feeding sites. they bulk up for three to five months, then they turn around and go back to the tropics to breed. now, that requires a lot of energy and we need to look at strategies to conserve whales. the drones have revealed just how the whales use their entire 40—tonne bodies when they feed. it's using its pectoralfin as a tool, to sweep the prey in. it's using its pectoralfin as a tool, to sweep the krill in. yeah, amazing. they've also revealed how whales

have recovered in the four decades since commercial whaling was banned. this blue whale mother and calf were filmed this year, close to a former whaling station in south georgia. drones have even captured playful moments. and watching whales from above and studying them up close lets scientists delve into their lives like never before. so beautiful! this might be the most beautiful thing i've ever seen. victoria gill, bbc news, in the antarctic peninsula. to saudi arabia, and there are extreme temperatures at the annual hajj. temperatures are forecast to reach into the 40s in celsius. saudi authorities have warned that climate change is making the hajj almost 0.5 of a degree warmer each decade. finally, this have her, i want to

show you pictures from san francisco in the us. this is the moment that dozens of california pelicans were released into the bay after a mysterious illness led to hundreds of the birds starving and getting sick all over the state. nearly 400 were rescued and have been nursed back to health in wildlife centres. there's still no conclusive proof on what caused them to get sick. let's get a check on the weather here in the uk, with elizabeth. hello. the unsettled, rather cool theme is set to continue this weekend. more sunny spells and showers to come in the forecast. it is june, so showers to come in the forecast. it isjune, so in the best of sunshine feels pleasantly warm, plenty of shows around, heavy and thundery at times too. across the north of england and southern scotland in particular, very light winds, the shares could last for some time and may be lead to some flooding. really quite blustery in the south, across south wales, the midlands, east anglia, south coast of england in

particular. gusts of wind here could reach a0 mph to 50 mph. these are average wind speeds, of course. sunny spells and temperatures very much sun sign dependent, so 1a to 18 celsius is below the seasonal average. as we head through this evening and overnight, a lot of the showers will fade away. winds will ease a bit towards the south, but some heavy, persistent rangers tracking westwards across northern scotland, eventually sinking southwards into northern ireland in time for tomorrow morning. it is milder here than it was last night. for most, seven to 10 celsius. low—pressure sticks around through the day, though showers swirled around it. for many, there will still be showers around. it is a drier, warmerfeeling they still be showers around. it is a drier, warmer feeling they come up with some dry and sunny spells. that is to stay away from the north and the west. this heavy rain will sink southwards across into central scotland, and also away from northern ireland by the time we get

tomorrow afternoon. turning more showery in the north and west, still some showers further south, with lighter rents. they can be slow—moving, but further of them. 19 or 20 celsius in the south of england tomorrow afternoon. the cemeteries could improve a little further on monday. a general improvement, most of the showers across eastern scotland down through north—eastern england, but further showers south this time. temperatures tend to peak between 15 and 21 celsius. into tuesday, and high pressure starts to try to edge in from the south and the west, but low pressure still towards the north, and then another system across europe needs watching on tuesday and wednesday, because that could produce more showers in the south of the east as we head through the middle of the week. otherwise, a little drier, a little warmer too.
