6:05 am
was apparently tough and one official described strong commercials at the table. the president apparently fired off this sets of numbers, showing america suffering from unfair treatment. 0ther suffering from unfair treatment. other leaders fired back their very different figures. when canada's prime minister met the president separately, justin trudeau try to sound upbeat. we both got elected on the commitment to grow the middle class and help those wanting to join it and that's what we'll be focused on. it's a pleasure to have you here, donald. donald trump opted for a joke at this host's expense. just in has agreed to cut all tariffs and all trade barriers between canada and the united states —— just in. nafta is in good shape! we're working on it. the big question for the second and final day of the summit is how much can be salvaged from the wreckage of the most divisive first day at a g7 anyone can remember. and is an agreement can remember. and is an agreement can be achieved at the end of the day, will it be at the price of thy
6:06 am
looting fundamental principles simply to bring together president trump and america's traditional allies. it's not just trump and america's traditional allies. it's notjust pray that isolates donald trump from the other six nations. there are big divides over climate change, iran and the israel palestinian conflict. 0ne thing is certain, weather this is g7 orgies explore swan, president trump will be long gone before the summit ends. last to arrive, first to leave. seeming to confirm this lack of appetite for this whole forum where he can't make the individual deals he much prefers —— g6 plus one. theresa may says her cabinet will hold another awayday at chequers as it tries to agree a final brexit position. the government hopes to complete its negotiations with the eu by october. mrs may insists that progress hasn't been hampered by internal conservative rows and that a lot of activity is planned for the coming weeks. the british people want us to

6:09 am
congratulations on the recognition you've received. 0bviously congratulations on the recognition you've received. obviously you would much rather have your brother here and not be in this position. very much so. when you got that phone call to tell you, all the letter, i don't know how it comes, what was your reaction when you were told there was an honour coming your way —— orthe there was an honour coming your way —— or the letter. there was an honour coming your way -- or the letter. complete disbelief. i had vaguely hoped that m, disbelief. i had vaguely hoped that in, sort of, ten years' time to maybe be honoured. but when a letter camei maybe be honoured. but when a letter came i was stunned. ijust couldn't believe it and my family couldn't believe it and my family couldn't believe it. it must be a very proud moment for you and the family, and to know... this is in your brother's honour and memory as well? very much so. honour and memory as well? very much so. all the work that's been done with the campaign global acts of unity is in the name of my brother
6:10 am
and his memory. what do you think david would think of this, make of your honour today? my late parents and david, wherever they are, would be having a good laugh at my expense andi be having a good laugh at my expense and i can feel my brother slap me on the back and say, nice one, bruv, now get the beers in! that would be a way of celebrating. i hope you'll enjoy a beer on his behalf today. to getan enjoy a beer on his behalf today. to get an honour like this, we've talked about big celebrities you've got, people from business and sport, but for you, as someone working in charity, in awareness, what does it mean for you to be up there with those more familiar faces and names? the honour comes to one man, but there's many people behind global acts of unity. there are my
6:11 am
collea g u es acts of unity. there are my colleagues i have worked with since the start who have become friends. my the start who have become friends. my family the start who have become friends. myfamily and the start who have become friends. my family and friends who have supported my work. and, most importantly, the students, students who have taken that choice not to hate, students who have taken up the wire and ambassador challenge. stu d e nts wire and ambassador challenge. students doing positive things in their communities and in their school community —— the global acts of unity ambassador challenge. the way we have seen these terror attacks. the people of london, the people of manchester, the way that they have come together to reject that hatred, this award goes to them as well. very special. when you go into schools, what do you tell stu d e nts into schools, what do you tell students about your brother and about what happened to him and how
6:12 am
it informed you, the message you wa nt to it informed you, the message you want to put on in his name? the first part of my presentation is talking about what actually happened. the second part of the presentation is all about showing that hatred is a choice. every singlepoint. .. that hatred is a choice. every singlepoint... at every point when we are faced with hatred we can take a choice to not take that path downwards. you see, there is so many... so many positive things that we can do. hatred divides, hatred destroys, hatred does not build. if people can take that choice not to hate them they are doing something positive and they become heroes. very powerful message, mike. a lot of people i think here about the
6:13 am
honours system and they hear about honours system and they hear about honours lists and they think it all sounds a bit old—fashioned and archaic in this day and age. what would you say to them today from where you're sitting having received this honour about its relevance and what it says about the uk today?|j think what it says about the uk today?” think the honours system is very releva nt. think the honours system is very relevant. it's quite wonderful to receive the recognition that positive work has been done. it means a great deal to me. i know it means a great deal to me. i know it means a great deal to my team. i've already received hundreds of m essa 9 es already received hundreds of messages in support. it's quite fantastic. hopefully it will build more, it will shine the light on other organisations, people doing positive work in their communities in all shapes and manners. mike
6:14 am
haines, ato in all shapes and manners. mike haines, a to b, that must take some getting used to, doesn't it? —— obes. getting used to, doesn't it? —— 0bes. thanks very much and we are loving the bowtie. very fitting on a morning like this. congratulations. thank you. here's alina with a look at this morning's weather. a picture, if we had that weather today for the trooping the colour, it would be marvellous, wouldn't it? good morning. we very well might because it's looking mainly dry with spells of sunshine for trooping the colour this morning, 20 is the expected high through the early part of the afternoon and it might get to 2! or 22 with longer spells of sunshine. that's the theme for many this weekend, mainly dry, spells of sunshine, one slight fly in the ointment if you have those heavy and thundery showers around, we will look at those in a moment. very high
6:15 am
pollen levels in most of england and wales. low for north—east england, high for northern ireland, mainly low in much of scotland. here's how it is looking today. some showers around across wales, one or two across yorkshire as will. some heavy, thundery showers across the channel islands and they are likely to continue. for some of the country, spells of sunshine. 0nce again, across western and central parts of scotland, slow—moving and giving a lot of rain in a short amount of time. northern ireland also in the firing line and maybe those showers popping up across cumbria. can't rule out wales, south—west england and one or two later in the afternoon across the south—east and parts of east anglia. 0therwise, south—east and parts of east anglia. otherwise, for many, it is a dry day. some spells of sunshine and any showers will slowly start to fade away throughout the evening and most places dry overnight. some clear
6:16 am
spells, once again we see that cloud creeping back in. temperatures on par with last night between 9— 11! celsius. let's have a look at the rest of the weekend. high pressure is dominating the scene across the uk, keeping an eye over friends and heavy showers, those likely to play over the channel islands through the weekend. there will be some sunshine too. and sunshine will probably be the order of the day for sunday, cloud around north—eastern coast and chances of showers again across eastern parts of scotland, but northern ireland should have a dry day. in the sunshine, 22— 2a celsius. across england and wales, cooler on the east coast. we start the new week with a good deal of sunshine. likely more clout around scotla nd sunshine. likely more clout around scotland and still the chancellors showers here. but for many, a dry start the week, keep an eye on the showers over france but certainly a
6:17 am
warm feel to the start of the week. there are signs as we get the latter half of week, picking up that atla ntic half of week, picking up that atlantic influence, in steyning pressured again. i willjust i will just pay i willjust pay attention to monday, feeling warm. now on breakfast, it's time for the film review with jane hill and mark kermode. hello and welcome to the film review on bbc news. to take us through this week ‘s cinema release is mark kermode. we have drastic world, fallen kingdom. mclean, a documentary about the british
6:18 am
designer. and the bully downstairs, a wrong com with a different.” designer. and the bully downstairs, a wrong com with a different. i was horrified to read that the first jurassic film was to be five years ago. —— 25. jurassic world fallen kingdom is after the last film, afterjurassic world. bryce dallas howard and chris pratt agreed to rea p howard and chris pratt agreed to reap him fora howard and chris pratt agreed to reap him for a rescue mission, this time they have to say the dinosaurs. the dinosaurs are left on the island at the end of the last one but it is all can it, they need to see the dinosaurs otherwise they will go extinct for the second time. however, inevitably, this being jurassic world, the mission is not what they signed up for. do you remember the first time you saw a dinosaur? the first time you see
6:19 am
them, it is like a miracle. you read about them in books and see them in museums, but you don't really believe it. they are like this. —— myths. and then you see the first one live. —— a live. myths. and then you see the first one live. -- a live. this is not your fault. but it is. this one is on me. i showed them the way. there isa on me. i showed them the way. there is a question in that clip about remembering the first time you saw a dinosaur, given the first time you sawjurassic park was active member being really overwhelmed? everyone went to see it and was talking about it. and moments of real terror, the velociraptor is it. and moments of real terror, the velocira ptor is chasing it. and moments of real terror, the velociraptor is chasing them into the kitchen. the problem now is that it does feel like we have seen most of this before, several times a. 0n the plus side it is directed by the director of the orphanage, the
6:20 am
impossible, who is a director who really ca n impossible, who is a director who really can do special effects that make movies with parts. there are moments in this film in which you see the film, you think he probably wa nted see the film, you think he probably wanted to make. there is one gripping scene in the child's bedroom which recalls an iconic scene from last hurrah to and you get a little bit of that, what you get a little bit of that, what you get in the first. this is scary and creepy. the rest feels a lot more mechanical. starting out about a film about fairground rides about dinosaur. they have swapped the central roles of the characters, thatis central roles of the characters, that is an interesting reversal and the characters are much more human. in the last movie i thought that the dinosaurs seemed much more convincing than the humans are. this time, the director got rid of the high heels and you do feel there is human interest. but the best i can say about it is that it is fine and there are moments in it that i
6:21 am
think, 0k there are moments in it that i think, ok that is the movie i would have liked to have seen. but it is very much a mechanical blockbuster rollercoaster. i think it is better thanjurassic rollercoaster. i think it is better than jurassic world, which felt rather soulless. is better than that. but if you think back to the first time you sawjurassic park, that visceral feel. there are moments in that film that are every as good as the jaws and we are not in that league. yes. there is more to come! can't wake for -- can't wait for the next one! acra two, a fascinating troubled man. does it make a good film? it does. i should start by saying i know nothing about fashion. i didn't know the story because i live in a bubble, if it is not ina because i live in a bubble, if it is not in a movie i don't know about it. is the story about alexander mcqueen, who went on to have a groundbreaking career. this draws on
6:22 am
tapes and interviews throughout his life. he said he was no good at school but was always drawing clothes when he was in chemistry lesson. 0n clothes when he was in chemistry lesson. on a very early age people immediately started to see that he had real natural talent and an extraordinary amount of talent. what the shoji is that yes, some of the early shows are shocking and i am pretty certain, i would have been the naysayers is that this is outrageous because i don't understand the fashion world. that i loved about this, the best take it into a subject about which you know nothing and this talks about the way in which the darkness in his life is reflected in his work. it has really candid interviews with those who are close to him and it looks at every side of his character and by the end of it side of his character and by the end ofiti side of his character and by the end of it i thought i could see this, i could see why these creations were astonishing and the sculptural quality and also the shows as pieces of theatre, looked quite breathtaking. so dramatic. iwas of theatre, looked quite breathtaking. so dramatic. i was won over and i went in a position of
6:23 am
com plete over and i went in a position of complete ignorance. what i know about fashion wouldn't fill the back ofa about fashion wouldn't fill the back of a postage stamp but i found this really emotionally engaging. therefore if you love fashion there is even more in it for you. fascinating, albeit with a desperate ending that we are all sadly aware of. interesting documentary. and a new,. yeah, the boy downstairs, stars and actress in hbo's girls. she has gone away to london for a year, comes back to her apartment and discovers the boyfriend that she broke up with is now living in the same apartment. he is acra three. which is kind of difficult. —— the boy downstairs. should they be friends, the film is about the awkwardness and also flashing back to their past relationship. here is a clip. so how are you? and good.
6:24 am
good. eight eu have been making music and it is going really well. still a struggle, but it is going pretty well. —— i hear you. still a struggle, but it is going pretty well. -- i hear you. i'm on the road. you are touring? the figurative road. i the road. you are touring? the figurative road. lam the road. you are touring? the figurative road. i am working the road. you are touring? the figurative road. lam working in commercials. that's great. then, that's great. i'm really happy for you. thank you. you are touring? i'm on the road. the film has that kind of turned to it and what really like is, the director is also —— obviously a fan of nora ephron but the thing it really reminded me of, there was a movie years ago called walking and talking. and it had that same sort of loose wind intimacy, it isa
6:25 am
same sort of loose wind intimacy, it is a way of making something that looks very casual, that looks very, these characters have just turned up and they are having this conversation is, that takes real precision to do. after the screening, a couple of people who i saw it with found that the characters really annoying. said thatis characters really annoying. said that is not the point, the point is you understand their lives and believe in their relationship. i thought it was funny, charming, moving from really well put together and it moved me to tears at one point. i was really surprised by how much it charmed me. and i love laura ephron and that awkwardness we saw there, that is such a human reaction. i don't know what to do here! it is that lovely thing about not quite being able to say the things they want to say, addressing the fact that they had been in a relationship. i think it was great, i thought you would really like it, seek it out. you saved the best one and you thought it was the breadwinner. circa retix. it seems
6:26 am
to have done pretty well at the box office, outperforming expectations of. it is a hard sell, a story about a young girl in afghanistan, the animation is beautiful. is from a book and he has done a brilliantjob of putting it on the screen. he talks about subject that but does it ina way talks about subject that but does it in a way that younger audiences could watch and appreciate.” in a way that younger audiences could watch and appreciate. i think you could almost use this as a history lesson in schools. this was life under the caliban and how difficult it was, we think of it as difficult it was, we think of it as difficult for women, but also difficult for women, but also difficult for women, but also difficult for an awful what a man. animation is so vast, you can do things that you perhaps cannot do in live action films, telling a story ina way live action films, telling a story in a way that makes it a sensible to a really wide audience of. the animation is absolutely beautiful. i loved this film. it is such a treat andi loved this film. it is such a treat and i advise everybody to seek it out. i thought it was a wonderful piece of work. and beautiful to look
6:27 am
at despite difficult subject matter is. and 80 quick thought about dvd. the new version ofjourneys and, about the play and taking elements from the novel. i thought it really ca ptu res from the novel. i thought it really captures the camaraderie of the trenches, a brilliant performance in there, but when you have a text that you know as well as this, you think what can you possibly bring to this? then you watch this and think oh, 0k, then you watch this and think oh, ok, that. it made it alive, contemporary. it is a very dark story but i think it is told with real compassion. i really loved it. does it work on the small screen? this can be a hesitation with big scenes like that. you feel a bit bad, actually. i will say scenes like that. you feel a bit bad, actually. iwill say yes because an awful lot of this takes place in a small, enclosed space. to
6:28 am
be honest, i think it would work watching it on an iphone because i think the performances are that good. not enough people have seen it. it needs to be seen. fair point and are therefore available on dvd. thank you very much a. a really interesting week. see you again next week. a reminder that you can find all the film news and reviews from across the bbc online. and all our previous programmes are on the website as well. that is it for this week. see you. thanks to being with us. “— week. see you. thanks to being with us. —— see you. —— see you next time. hello, this is breakfast with jon kay and naga munchetty. good morning, here's a summary of today's main stories from bbc news. the queen's birthday honours list has been announced, with a knighthood for the former liverpool manager kenny dalglish, while oscar—winning actress emma thompson is made a dame. footballerjermain defoe has been made an 0be for work with underprivileged children. he dedicated the honour

6:34 am
opened it... i never opened it, i looked at it and it was brown, and i thought, another tax bill here! perhaps it is anfield where he is most fondly thought of but before he arrived in 1977, celtic was his home, and there were titles aplenty in glasgow too. as a player for the scottish national team, his record of 102 caps still stands today. dalglish makes it 3—1 and equals the scottish scoring record. it's a great reflection on every pa rt of it's a great reflection on every part of your life, when you were young growing up with your mum and dad, the way that they set you up and the morals and the ethics and the way to behave that they did. and then you move onto your own family then you move onto your own family the footballing family as well. i've just been fortunate that i've come across an awful lot of great people. dalglish's well versed in hearing his name chanted from the stands. he'll have to go get used to being

says today's first test against south africa is the perfect development oportunity for younger players and a once—in—a—lifetime opportunity. england haven't won a game at ellis park injohannesburg, since 1972, butjones says the pressure will be good for the newcomers to the squad. it's great, particularly as we build towards the world cup, and the south african tour is so important for us, for some young guys to get some great experience in high—pressure games. there was an incredibly tight game in rugby league's super league with oliver holmes touching down as castleford beat warrington by 34—30 to earn their first win of the season against a top four side. even more surprising! a great performance. british cyclist geraint thomas is the new leader of the criterium du dauphine. he's over a minute clear, with two stages to go, after ireland's dan martin won stage five in the french alps. but thomas said it would be hard to hold on to the yellowjersey on today's tough climb. two and a half years after he defeated wladimir klitschko to become the heavyweight champion of the world,

tyson fury returns to boxing tonight in manchester. he's a foot taller and nearly 5st heavier than his opponent, the little known albanian sefer seferi. the pair were in good mood at yesterday's weigh—in, fury showing off his strength. not to be undone by seferi, though, who showed he's a strong lad too. are they boxing against each other? yes. it is like me going up against anthonyjoshua, dan walker or tyson fury! why are they allowed to box against each other if there is such against each other if there is such a difference in their size? they made the right weights for that particular contest and it is tyson's return. it's not a title fight but a chance for him to show that he's back. one more question, is anyone betting on the little guy winning? i'm sure there are, yeah, it's not
6:39 am
all about size in this life! that's true, mike, that's true! never underestimate the little guy, 0k? as we know! in formula 1, which is in canada this weekend, the cars hit speeds of 200mph. but in formula 2a, it's a very different story. it's called greenpower racing and encourages high school students to combine sport with science and engineering. there are 42 finals around the country and this week i went to the one at mallory park in leicestershire. there on the starting grid reading their motors. if this was formula 1 you wouldn't be able to hear me now but it's green power. not to say the racing might be any less intense once the lights go out at the start of this huge test of speed and endurance. and the lights are out and their off! what a moment for these 1a drivers
6:40 am
and in all each year more than 10,000 students are involved in the greenpower education trust which aims to get teenagers more enthusiastic about science and engineering by designing, building and racing their own electric cars with local firms in each region helping to drive the initiative. these young people have the chance to feel like lewis hamilton, being on the grid, being on the start line, being on the front line and obviously being able to win. these young kids have torn up the rule book by designing and building their own cars. from the pit lane to the classroom because behind every car in the race nine months of hard work, it started in september. mackenzie, how are things going? all right, we are under control.” mackenzie, how are things going? all right, we are under control. i will watch and learn them. a bit of a learning curve, all the designing that goes into the engineering of the carand that goes into the engineering of the car and the aerodynamics.”
6:41 am
thought it was a boy's type thing to do so thought it was a boy's type thing to dosoi thought it was a boy's type thing to do so i wanted to try this out. want to be an engineer when i'm older, like, computerengineer to be an engineer when i'm older, like, computer engineer so i want to make a car work through programming it and stuff like that. and fiona got her chance as the first driver for and fiona got her chance as the first driverfor her and fiona got her chance as the first driver for her team, and and fiona got her chance as the first driverfor her team, and most do include as many boys as girls —— as many girls as boys. a lot can happen in a 90 minute endurance race, lots of nervous faces in the mario camp. teams trained drivers every half an hour and they were even brave enough to let me have a go. —— teams change. what does this do? oh, that's the horn! just think, all those months of ha rd horn! just think, all those months of hard work going into building this car so no pressure to make sure it arrives back safely. 0ff this car so no pressure to make sure it arrives back safely. off course is there a little bit but we still
6:42 am
got the line. it's notjust about speedin got the line. it's notjust about speed in this race, it's also about injuries. if you go too quickly, too much, you will run the battery down. -- injure much, you will run the battery down. —— injure and is. what was it like when you realised you had won —— endurance. go back home and have a barbecue i guess! this is only the starting grid for those youngsters hoping there's a whole career on the road ahead. fantastic opportunity for over 10,000 students around the country every year and what a career if you can make it, canada this weekend, you might not be driving, but there are so manyjobs supporting. designing, maintaining the cars, working behind—the—scenes and you can go worldwide. great job. oche boxing, talking about can tyson lose to someone fivest lighter, steve
6:43 am
bunce will be here, he's a heavyweight of the boxing world, not size, but in terms of his knowledge, he will be answering our questions. see you later on. it's nearly quarter to 7 and you're watching breakfast from bbc news. the main stories this morning: 0ver over a thousand people have been recognised in the queen's birthday honours list, including kenny dalglish and the actor emma thompson. talks at the g7 summit in canada have failed to resolve tensions with president trump over trade tariffs imposed by the united states. it isa it is a saturday, lots of people with plans to get out and about. let's see if we can make those happen. it looks like the queen will have a nice day at least. warning to you both, it looks like the colour will be fine and dry, a little bit misty, more in the way of sunshine, helping to riches up to a0 celsius
6:44 am
around lunchtime and horribly higher over the afternoon. if you have outdoor plans this weekend, for a weekend in june it outdoor plans this weekend, for a weekend injune it is not looking too bad. dry for many, some spells of sunshine however, some heavy and thundery showers in place. if you are sniffling like i'm it a bit counter that poland levels, very high across england and wales. loaf of the north—east and scotland and highly full northern ireland. let's try to put some detail on the day. some spells of sunshine, at but at the moment we have heavy showers across the channel islands, some showers and also through the day some heavy, thundery slow—moving showers developing across parts of central and western scotland. there will also be sunshine, can be a bit hit and will also be sunshine, can be a bit hitand miss, will also be sunshine, can be a bit hit and miss, some torrential downpours and others staying dry. northern ireland could see showers, a queue of those coming into cumbria, showers across wales and maybe south—west england perhaps
6:45 am
later in the day, across east anglia and south—east england. for most, it is dry, sunshine and temperatures around 18— 22 celsius and most showers fading away to this evening. that leaves the night dry, clear skies but that missed and low crowd creeping back in again the north—east coast. temperatures on par with last night. still quite humid across southern parts of england. isis humid across southern parts of england. is is how the rest of the weekend shapes up. this area of high pressure influencing most of the uk, a little features close by bringing their showers keeping an eye on what is happening over northern france because some thundery showers could affect the channel islands through sunday. foremost, it is mainly dry, of sunshine. that little bit cloudier and cool work across the east coast. this time tomorrow it looks like they will transfer eastwards a cross looks like they will transfer eastwards across scotland, a better day for northern ireland but still showers for wales and south—west england. in the sunshine, 20— 25
6:46 am
celsius, a warm and to the weak and. it stays warm on monday that it more clout around for parts of scotland and seal a if you showers of. some sunny spells across northern ireland and elsewhere a dry day and plenty of sunshine, temperatures between 21- 25 of sunshine, temperatures between 21— 25 celsius across the south—east. it looks so choose they will continue in the same vein but later next week ‘s will turn more fresh. the wind coming off the atla ntic fresh. the wind coming off the atlantic so some changes by those they probably. thanks so much, we will see you later. now on breakfast, it's time for click. the new adidas telstar 18. i wanted to find out what goes
6:47 am
into the design behind this, so i've come to loughborough university to find out. this year's design is a model re—version of the iconic adidas ball from the 1970 world cup, the telstar. but if you thought this was a case of aesthetics, think again. loughborough university have been researching for adidas for almost 20 years, and their rigorous testing facilities offer findings on how the ball moves and reacts in different situations. hi, andy. hi, kat. first up, the team use roboleg to recreate the kicks players make over and over again at different speeds and powers. we have a compromise here between the fluidity and flexibility of a human player but the repeatability of a machine. it needs to be a robot because even the best player in the world cannot kick a ball the same twice. yeah. so if we want to know how a ball‘s going to respond to a particular kick, we need the robot. let's see it in action then.
6:48 am
i'm intrigued already that the foot appears to be in front of the ball. three, two, one... woah! ok, so it's fast. so, from our point of view, it would be understanding how long the boot is in contact with the ball, how the ball deforms, how it stores the energy, how it recovers that energy, and then that results in this sort of forward velocity and the spin that's imparted onto the ball into its flight. but what we've just seen in the roboleg really has to make sense in terms of the players. and so capturing what a player does when they kick a ball in a lot of detail to give us the inputs that we need to control the kicking leg is absolutely vital. so down here, we have a motion capture space where we can actually capture a player kicking a ball in all the detail that we need. as well as robotic legs and motion capture technology, the team here work on computer simulations of footballs to try
6:49 am
and figure out how they will respond before they're physically made. we are simulating certain aspects of the ball. in this particular case, it's the mechanical properties of the ball, it's the way that it deforms under different kicks or collisions against different surfaces. perhaps modelling the flight might be possible at some point in the future, but, for now, the way we do that is to look in the wind tunnel and actually do experimental aerodynamic studies on real prototype balls. if i first show you something of the scale of what's involved in a tunnel like this. so, if we come outside, and you get a sense of the scale. so this is the air inlet, and then expelled out through this vent here to pass the air over at the sorts of speeds that the player will kick at. wow, i was not expecting this. two goalkeepers who have played friendlies with the new telstar 18
6:50 am
have already complained about the design. spain's david de gea said it was "strange," and his teammate, pepe reina, called for it to be changed. whether the world cup is the right time to focus on technological changes has been suggested, when players just want to perform at the top of their game. whether fans have anything to say about it will be seen when games start on the 1ath. that was kat. 0k, ball done! but it's not just about what we kick. like many sports these days, data and technology are seeping into every element of the game. now, fifa has been notoriously slow at allowing technology into football, but this will be the first world cup where teams are given tablets to access data and analytics in—game. does that mean the data analysts will become the new star players? well, we sent paul carter to fifa to find out. at this year's world cup finals in russia, data is set to play a bigger role than ever before. like it or not, data is already an integral part of modern football.
6:51 am
you can't watch a televised game without being bombarded by all kinds of statistics. for the first time, fifa are providing an all—in—one technical package allowing coaching staff and analysts to communicate throughout matches in real—time. the snappily titled electronic tracking and performance system — or etps — will provide data on player metrics, such as distances run, speed and positional information. crucially, each of the 32 countries competing in the tournament will be provided with two tablets. one for a data analyst in the stands, who'll be able to communicate with the second device user on the bench, possibly a coach or assistant manager. we're using an optical tracking system. so we have optical tracking cameras in all of the stadiums. we know where the players and the ball are at any time of the match.
6:52 am
we have different metrics available to the analysts, and it's up to them to decide how they want to use it. with resources available for technology differing between countries, fifa hopes this technology will bridge the data divide. a lot of the teams already use data. we're expecting a lot of the teams coming to russia to bring their own setup. but we want to at least offer the same to all of the teams. in fifa's system, the teams' data analysts will have access to a tactical app, enabling them to add drawings over a live video field. stills can then be sent to the dugout. with goalline technology, video assistant referees, and now etps, this year's world cup looks set to be the most technologically advanced ever. but with the technology, how big is the risk that we lose the real spirit of the game? the role of the data analyst is simply just to again support those coaching decisions. i think there are some key
6:53 am
insights they can be found in the data. but football will always be those 22 players on the pitch, and the coach is always going to be the person one making the decisions. at the end, what technology really is for is only to support. but at the end, you're a big football fan, i'm a big football fan, at the end, the 22 players plus the referee, they are the main actors. 90 minutes, maybe penalty shootout, germany— england maybe! so that's the excitement. i think technology can only add additional help, optimise processes, optimise or providing additional information, that's what technology is about. well, i'm certainly nowhere near ready to head to a football pitch, i need some sort of training first. but luckily we've come across this robotic leg which aims to help. but i can see what the first problem is. this ur3 robot, originally
6:54 am
built forfactory work, has already got its footy boot on. the idea is it can repeat a human's movement so they can be watched back and learned from, or it could be copying and teaching the kick of a star player from anywhere in the world. so here we have the setup. a kinect which will track the human's movements, and the robot should be able to replicate them, and, of course, we've a goal, and we couldn't do it without one of these. that's the theory anyway, but it didn't gauge the angle of my foot very well, and even i know you're not meant to kick the ball with your toes. but i did still need a little help from a human expert to understand what else it was suggesting i did wrong. if we look closer to the robotic legs, we can... the leg, we can see that ankle here is very flexible. so it's actually copying every
6:55 am
movement you were doing. so the first problem you've got is, when you're kicking a football, you have to open your arch. i followed the advice, it went to the right point of the net, i'm almost a professional! i've made it to an actual football pitch, albeit a five—a—side one, and i'm joined by the click team. what you think of our kits? good, aren't they? so i need to do a bit more practice. they're kicking the ball around the old —fashioned way, but i've a smart football here, and i've got an app with some augmented reality built in. i've never done this before in my entire life. how am i meant to to speed it up? 0k, toe—taps. dribbleup runs you through drills and training suitable for your ability. after placing the football in position, the app will scan it
6:56 am
then track and assess your every move. it's all gone red, i think i'm doing it wrong. i'm not sure this isn't playing footbal! i've never seen anyone train for football like this before! strangely, it didn't seem to think i'd done too badly. i'm assuming these grades arejust for trying hard, because clearly i was absolutely ridiculous. it was quite fun, but i'm not sure that i actually really exercised any proper sort of skill. the app worked beautifully, it was lovely to look at, great instructions, but i don't think i was born to play football. now i've got the moves, or not, it's time to learn some tactics. i need to actually be able to play the game. so some mixed reality is here to help. this is soccer training on the microsoft hololens, teaching the rules through a mixed reality game, a lot of words, and questions to check you've been paying attention. there's some text but i can't actually read the text properly. it's not in quite the right position. there we go, there's the goalkeeper, and it explains the offside position.
6:57 am
the premise is good, i like the virtual players running about, but it does feel slightly hard work to watch, because naturally you want to watch the people, but you actually need to be reading the words. so i tried to kick a ball around, thinking about everything a robotic leg, a smart football and microsoft hololens experience had taught me. but through no fault of the tech, i'm still monumentally useless. stephen, look over there! 0h! i had to find some way! that's it for the shortcut of our world cup show. the full—length version is up on iplayer right now. next week, we're going to be in the united states for the e3 video game show in los angeles, and elsewhere in the country too. in fact, by the time you see this, we'll already be there tweeting @bbcclick, sojoin us there and see what we're up to. thanks for watching, see you in the states. hello, this is breakfast, withjon kay and naga munchetty. the queen's birthday honours are announced. king kenny becomes sir kenny. liverpool legend kenny dalglish is given a knighthood, while actress emma thomson is made a dame. but there's controversy too.
