the prime minister arrives in canada for talks at the g7, but can't shake off the ongoing row over brexit. as she meets world leaders, she is forced to defend herself against comments by borisjohnson that her brexit strategy lacks guts. people like boris have strong views on brexit, but so do i. i want to deliver brexit for the british people. that's what people want. and i'm getting on and doing it. donald trump has also arrived at the talks in canada, threatening to increase unpopular trade tariffs before the summit‘s even begun. we'll bring you the latest from what is shaping up to be a spiky summit, with world leaders set to clash with the us. also tonight... the 90—year—old woman now seriously ill in hospital after being viciously attacked while lying in bed in her own home. he's lost eight stone and his personal demons. tyson fury gets back in the ring after two and a half years. and... laughing all the way to the football world cup. why russians are being taught to smile. and coming up on bbc news, for some

it has been a long time coming, but the fa have announced that the premier league will have a winter break. it will happen over two weeks in february from the 2019—20 season. welcome to the bbc news at six. theresa may has arrived at a meeting of world leaders in canada, but she's been followed there by a continuing cabinet row over her handling of the brexit negotiations. just a day after she fended off the possible resignation of the brexit secretary, the foreign secretary has now stirred things up after he said the government needs more guts in its brexit strategy and that the negotiations may be heading for a meltdown. his comments were recorded during a speech at a private dinner last night.

the prime minister has acknowledged there are strong views about brexit in the cabinet, but says she is the one who will deliver it. she was speaking to our political correspondent vicky young. pressing her case on the world stage, theresa may has flown thousands of miles to chat with presidents and prime ministers. the questions for her stay the same. is brexit on track? is she in charge? these are complex negotiations, but the british people want us to deliver brexit and i am determined to do that. she might not expect eu leaders to give her a helping hand, but surely she could rely on her foreign secretary. back home, though, boris johnson has been secretly recorded suggesting theresa may could learn something from the american president. so did the prime ministerfeel undermined by those remarks?

people like borisjohnson have strong views on brexit, but so do i. i want to deliver brexit for the british people. that is what people want and i am getting on and doing it. how many times can we get to this position, where you have to have these clashes with those on your own side? at every stage in these negotiations, we have seen people casting doubt on whether or not we could achieve what we want to achieve. they said that prior to the december joint report being agreed. they said it prior to us delivering the implementation period in march. we are now moving on to finalise the withdrawal issues and also to move on to discuss our future relationship. phillip hammond, making a speech today in berlin, thinks the way to make more progress is through cooperation. my experience has been that a collaborative approach is generally more productive than a confrontational approach and certainly, my advice to my colleagues is

that the way to address the challenges that there undoubtedly are of reaching a good brexit solution is to engage with our european partners. and brussels certainly does have concerns. the latest wrangle is over a so—called backstop plan for trade with the eu after brexit, if a long—term solution is not ready. the uk is suggesting it could match eu tariffs to avoid a hard irish border, but only temporarily. backstop means backstop. translation: backstop means backstop. now, why do i say that? because this has to be a backstop which provides a guarantee under all circumstances. so, the temporary backstop is not in line with what we want or what ireland or northern ireland want or need. as theresa may said again today, these are complex negotiations. it is not going to be easy.

mrs may obviously wants to talk about britain's future relationship with the other european leaders? is she going to be able to put the brexit controversy behind her? this does chime to some extent with the anxieties of brexiteers like boris johnson, who are concerned that with the way things might be going, the uk will end up so closely allied with the eu that it is unable to ta ke with the eu that it is unable to take advantage of, as they see it, the opportunities that are out there. so it was interesting today that theresa may did choose to talk about the big prize, the bright future for britain, controlling not just our own money and our own borders but crucially, trade deals. so here, as she meets and sits along people like the prime minister of japan and donald trump, those huge global economies which britain will have to do these trade deals with

after brexit, of course she wants to be talking about that and trying to set the base for what is to come in the future. instead of having to talk about what is going on within her cabinet and what her foreign secretary might be saying behind closed doors. vicky, thank you. there have been sharp exchanges between president trump and other members of the g7 even before the summit had officially begun. president macron of france says the six other countries in the group will be sticking together in their opposition to us tariffs, while president trump has warned the eu and canada that if they don't remove their tariffs, the us "will more than match you." he's also suggested that russia be allowed back into the summit — it's been banned since 2014. our north america editorjon sopel is at the summit in quebec. the reluctant visitor has arrived. donald trump is the last one into quebec, and he'll be the first one out, missing all tomorrow's discussion on climate change and the environment. it is as bad—tempered a start to a g7 as there's ever been. before leaving washington this morning, he was in no

mood for compromise. they understand, and, you know, they're trying to act like, well, we fought with you in the wars... they don't mention the fact that they have trade barriers against ourfarmers. they don't mention the fact that they're charging almost 300% tariffs. when it all straightens out, we'll all be in love again. though it's a little bit chilly at the moment in quebec, the other g7 leaders are enraged that the us has imposed tariffs on steel and aluminium, citing national security. it brought this brisk tweet from emmanuel macron. .. such is the president's isolation, this should perhaps more properly be called "the g6 plus one". donald trump seriously considered not coming at all. he feels he gets lectured

by the other foreign leaders — on iran, on climate change, and, of course, on trade. and he's not a big fan of being lectured. one area where he's doing the lecturing is his call today for russia to be readmitted to the group. they were booted out after the annexation of crimea. not so fast, says theresa may. we've seen malign activity from russia in a whole variety of ways including, of course, on the streets of salisbury in the united kingdom. so we need to say that i think before any such conversations can take place, russia needs to change its approach. the quebecois are trying to go about their daily lives as if it's business as usual. and without much optimism, so too are the other members of the g7. but it's not. there's a tough decision to make. roll over and accept american tariffs, or retaliate and risk an all—out trade war. jon sopel, bbc news, quebec. a 90—year—old woman is seriously ill in hospital after being attacked

while she was in bed in northwest london. iris warner was discovered by her son at her home in brent. she has told police a man hit her several times in the face. it's unclear if anything was stolen. june kelly is in brent in northwest london for us this evening. june, this is a horrific attack on a defenceless elderly woman. absolutely. there is a realfocus at the moment on violent crime and in recent days, we have seen some terrible crimes against pensioners. there was a lady in derby and another lady in birmingham who both suffered broken necks during attacks on them. the lady in derby, who was 100 years old, sadly died. in this case, the family of iris warner want the pictures of her shocking injuries to be shown. so a very strong warning to viewers that this report coming up begins with these highly distressing images. this is what someone did tho iris warner in the bedroom

of her semi—detached house which has been her home for decades. her family have released these pictures in the hope that it leads to information about who was responsible. police say the bedroom of the house in north—west london had been ransacked, but it hasn't yet been established whether anything was stolen. all she's been able to say is that she believes it was a male that has leaned over her while she was in bed and has hit her three times with some sort of instrument. iris believes it was once to the face and a few times to the back of the head. this 90—year—old is described as highly independent and is often seen out and about in her neighbourhood. she used to go down to the sweet shop and buy a newspaper. i used to see her almost every other day. but i'm just shocked. i'm horrified. i would like to see more police, you know, around this area, greater safety.

you do get all types of things here, especially at night time. mrs warner was found injured on monday this week. it's believed the attack happened in the previous 48 hours. this is a barbaric attack. it is staggering to believe anybody could think anything can justify attacking this woman in her home. iris warner is said to be drifting in and out of consciousness as doctors treat her multiple injuries. june kelly, bbc news. she died nine days after suffering a broken neck when she was pushed to the ground and her bag stolen in derby. 39—year—old arthur who was first held on suspicion of robbery — has now been arrested over her death. more than a million nhs workers in england are to receive a pay rise of at least 6.5% after staff voted in favour of the offer. some of the lowest paid

will see their wages increase by far more as part of the deal. 01:14 unions balloted, only the gmb — which represents many ambulance drivers — rejected the deal. they still have to decide if they'll take further action. the first minister of scotland, nicola sturgeon, has said she hopes to open a new chapter on independence at the party's conference in aberdeen this weekend, but says she is still not ready to set a date for a second referendum. 0ur scotland editor sarah smith reports. what do we want? independence! when do we want it? now! the message was loud and clear, as thousands marched through dumfries last week. at the snp conference in aberdeen, delegates are hearing a rather more cautious refrain. nicola sturgeon is not about to announce a date for a new referendum any time soon. so now she needs to persuade her supporters to be patient, telling them that they need to build more support for independence before they go for another vote. the snp leader wants to reach far beyond her party faithful, to sceptics. i think it is important

that we reassure people who might have been open—minded to independence in 2014 but felt they couldn't vote for it because they didn't have that assurance. but it's also really important that we inspire people as well. that's a difficult balance to strike. of course it is. but it's one i think we can do, because people... people are not stupid. and this was shown so vividly in the independence referendum. people are capable of weighing up the arguments, weighing up the evidence and coming to their own decisions about things. but that's prompted internal arguments about new plans for the economics of independence. my basic worry is that by being too conservative on the economic front in order to win over people — and actually, i don't disagree with that as a kind of strategy, to win over folk support independence — but you don't do that if you start risking people at the other end, the poor. if you don't provide something for them from independence,

then what is independence for? true believers like to think they'd win another vote tomorrow, and want one as early as possible. i want independence, always have. so, the sooner, the better. we'll call it in september or october and we're going to have it sometime in the new year. quite soon, i would say, before brexit gets too scary. the grassroots are raring to go. but having marched her troops halfway up the hill, ms sturgeon now has to work out how to get them halfway down again while still keeping them on her side. sarah smith, bbc news, aberdeen. our top story this evening: the prime minister arrives in canada for talks at the g7, but is followed by the ongoing row over brexit. and still to come... hell hath no fury — tyson determined to make a comeback in the ring after two and a half years in the wilderness.

coming up on sportsday on bbc news, just how do you beat this man on clay? juan martin del potro is the latest to attempt that against rafa nadal in the french open semifinals. we'll have the best of the action. bbc news has been investigating local, regional and national identity this week across england, wales and scotland — and tonight our series ends in northern ireland. our northern ireland political editor mark devenport has been talking to people from different traditions about their connection to the uk — how the past has shaped what they wish for in years to come and whether brexit has caused a shift in their allegiances. you don't have to look far to see the symbols of clashing cultures in northern ireland. the dispute between those proud of their irish and british identities underpinned decades of violence. these days, there's peace, and the old divides are more nuanced. i also want to wish you "adh mor" — good luck — with your exam. here in strongly unionist east

belfast, ijoined an irish class attended by both protestants and catholics. linda irvine came late to her love of the irish language. she's a protestant whose brother—in—law was a loyalist leader. many of the words that we now use in everyday speech, many of our surnames come from the language. we're surrounded by things that are irish. the clue is in the name, northern ireland. so we are part of the uk, we are british. but we're the irish part of the uk. almost a third of those with a protestant background defined themselves as irish, but only 4% of those with a catholic background identified as british. 83% of protestants described themselves as british and 82% as northern irish. 96% of catholics said they were irish, and 82% of catholics considered themselves european.

training on a beach in county antrim, connell stewart is preparing to compete in a couple of european marathons. connell studied in europe and strongly opposed brexit. he used to favour staying in the uk, but now wonders if a united ireland could be a better option. where we were ten years ago was that being in the uk was the best bet. now, i'm open to persuasion. it looks like the stability is in the european union now, whereas it was reversed ten years ago. it looks like there's uncertainty and no one knows where we're going with this. for me and for peace in northern ireland, i think we have to choose stability. it's the logical thing to do. in the bbc survey, 45% of people wanted to stay in the uk, whilst 42% said they would vote for a united ireland. that suggests the don't knows, at 13%, could prove decisive. 28% said brexit had changed their mind, making them more likely

to back a united ireland. commentator: it's an irish driver in the lead! trevor england was a rugby star back in the 1980s. trevor ringland was a rugby star back in the 1980s. he's proud he wears the irish shirt, but when it comes to politics, he believes it's too soon to consider a united ireland. what we have to do is appreciate what we have. we live in a beautiful place. the people are fantastic when you press the right buttons, and the challenge is to make this place work whatever our constitutional preference and enjoy what we have and build relationships here, first and foremost. then, hopefully in a0 or 50 years, our children will be better friends. and in that scenario, they can take whatever constitutional decision they want to take. whatever choices these children make will be helped by their parents‘ confidence in the future. nearly 70% think northern ireland's best years are yet to come.

that's a more optimistic outlook than anywhere else in the uk. mark devenport, bbc news, belfast. eight people have been arrested on suspicion of laundering millions of pounds through high street banks in and around the city of london. police say the suspects — who are all chinese citizens — are part of an organised crime network. six hundred thousand pounds in cash has been seized. three palestinians have been killed by israeli troops, during protests in gaza, according to the authorities there. a 15 year old boy was among those shot dead today. israel's government claims the protesters are attempting to carry out attacks across the border. at least 128 palestinians have been killed in recent weeks. bmw and the government's driving agency have been heavily criticised by a coroner after an electrical fault in a bmw car caused the death of a pensioner. following the death of narayan gurung after a car lost all power, bmw recalled more than 300,000 vehicles. an inquest in surrey heard the car

maker knew of 19 previous cases of electrical faults. the driving agency knew about the risk and admitted its procedures forforcing bmw to recall cars were not ‘robust‘ enough. the queen has had surgery on her eye to remove a cataract. a spokesperson from buckingham palace said the short, planned procedure last month was a success. our royal correspondent nicholas witchell is at buckingham palace. this was kept quiet by the palace until today... the palace i think would regard this asa the palace i think would regard this as a comparatively routine procedure and certainly in medical terms it is one of the most commonplace operations. it was described by the palace as a small, planned procedure. the queen went into hospital about one month ago as the day patient, have the procedure, evidently successfully. no engagements cancelled. the only

visible sign has been that she was seen wearing a dark glasses. she will be extremely visible tomorrow, it is trooping of the colour, the marker of her 92nd birthday. she will be in a carriage parading down the mall and she will want the sharpest of vision so that she can inspect the footguards and the cavalry down there. thank you. the premier league has confirmed there will be a two—week mid—season break every february, starting in the 2019—20 season. the football association has agreed to move the fa cup fifth round to midweek, and scrap replays, to make room. the break will be staggered across two weekends to accommodate broadcasters — with five matches rather than the normal ten being played on both weekends. he's lost more than eight stone in preparation. boxer tyson fury launches his comeback tomorrow, after an absence of over two and a half years and well publicised battles with drugs and depression. fury will be fighting the albanian sefer seferi and insists he's not nervous , but that it's been a "rollercoaster of a few yea rs".

andy swiss reports. tyson fury! the weigh—in after the waiting. in manchester today, tyson fury, fighting fit once more after a lay—off in which his only battles had been outside the ring. from the highs of his 2015 world title, fury‘s life unravelled. drink, drugs and depression. his weight ballooned, his titles disappeared. after losing some eight stone, he says he's now back from very brink. there was moments there when i thought i'd never, ever box again. i had mental health problems, depression. i'd been heavy hitting the drink. almost got divorced. you know, i lost everything. i was as high as any man could go, i was as low as any man could go. but look at me now, i'm back. well, for tyson fury, this fight has certainly been a long time coming. but after 2.5 years away,

can he recapture his old success ? back then, fury was also a showman — dressing up as batman... even head—butting watermelons. but he courted controversy, too. accusations of homophobia, which he denied. one man who's helped fury back to fitness, though, feels he is now transformed in every way. you've seen some of the interviews tyson's done in the past where he's not come out smelling of roses, shall we say. but, no, i think he's been a little bit more ok for the build—up to this fight. you know why that is, that's because he's happy. in the long—term, he'll be hoping for an all—british showdown with anthonyjoshua. but first he has to beat sefer seferi. the albanian‘s nearly a foot shorter and five stone lighter. for fury, a chance to pick up where he left off, and rekindle his sporting career. andy swiss, bbc news, manchester. over a million people are expected to travel to the football world cup which starts in just under a week.

russia wants to put on a good show and a warm welcome which is why training is under way to teach russians how to smile, something that's often frowned upon in public. steve rosenberg has more. at the russian railways training centre, they are studying hard. today's lesson is how to smile. you see, russians don't do much of that. in public. but with more than a million foreign football fans heading here for the world cup, russia is keen to make a good impression. russian people usually don't smile. that is why when other people come to russia, they think that russian people are not friendly. we need to teach them how to smile. we need to change their attitude. he is doing well! look at his teeth, cries the teacher, they are shining. but beware. in russia, smiling in public can get you into trouble. i got stopped by a policeman

and i was quite angry about it and he asked me to show my id. afterwards i asked him why did he stop me? and he said to me, because you were smiling. that is what he said. literally. because it is strange. a russian person walking on the street and smiling. it looks alien and suspicious. laughter. talking of suspicious... here are some russians who are bucking the trend. this is laughter yoga. it gives me joy. energy. energy, and a feeling that anything is possible. and i can do everything. it is highly infectious. but a little bit scary! itjust goes to show that despite their frosty exterior,

russians have what it takes to put a smile on your face. steve rosenberg, bbc news, moscow. time for a look at the weather... here's tomasz schafernaker. (duration:0'10") beautiful weather on the way. i will start with this lovely picture.|j think it is a retriever. there is another one. look at them, aren't they lovely? let us get on to forecast. it is looking fine for most of us. not completely dry. not 100% dry because there are showers in the forecast and some of them could be heavy, perhaps even some thunder. this is what the weather looks like now, still pleasantly warm in the south, 20 degrees in. a few showers lingering, but overnight, quiet on the weather

front, like last night and the night before. clear spells and a bit of patchy cloud, temperatures around ten or 11 degrees. fresher in the north. tomorrow morning starts off cloudy. another fine day. north. tomorrow morning starts off cloudy. anotherfine day. the north sea coast will be on the cool side. i mentioned the possibility of showers. this is in scotland, around three o'clock in the afternoon. difficult to pinpoint where the showers will be, some around in the central west of scotland. in northern ireland, the possibility of other spreaders south. the ones that do brew across scotland could be heavy, thunder and lightning and the possibility of flash flooding. hopefully most of us will escape that, but bear in mind there is that risk in scotland and northern ireland. saturday is looking fine for most of us. to the south of the uk, some rougher weather, thunder

storms brewing but for most of us across the country on sunday it is fine. the possibility of showers but look at the temperatures in the south, possibly getting up to 2a degrees. fresher in aberdeen around 16 degrees. that is it. enjoy your weekend. a reminder of our main story... theresa may is in canada for talks with other world leaders — but her ongoing cabinet row over brexit follows her there as her foreign secretary says her brexit strategy lacks guts. that's all from the bbc news at six. so it's goodbye from me — and on bbc one we nowjoin the bbc‘s this is bbc news, the latest headlines. the prime minister moves to assert their authority after suggestions from the foreign secretary that her government lacks guts in negotiations with the eu. people like boris have strong views

on brexit but so do i. i want to deliver brexit for the british people and i am getting on and doing it. boris johnson was people and i am getting on and doing it. borisjohnson was recorded at people and i am getting on and doing it. boris johnson was recorded at a private dinner thing leave voters might not get the deal they want and he hinted that donald trump could do a betterjob. he would go in bloody hard. there would be all sorts of chaos. everyone would think he had gone mad but you might get somewhere. donald trump says russia should be readmitted to the g7 as he arrives at the summit in canada. a 90—year—old woman is seriously ill in hospital after being attacked in her bed in london. in a moment, it will
