"king kenny" becomes "sir kenny", liverpool legend kenny dalglish is given a knighthood, while actress emma thompson is made a dame. but there's controversy too, network rail‘s boss gets an honour for "services to the rail industry", despite the recent chaos for passengers. and in sport, an honour too forjermaine defoe, and the former england striker dedicates his obe to bradley lowery, the young fan who died last year. defoe said it was the proudest moment of his life, but he'd trade everything, to have bradley back. good morning, it's saturday the 9th ofjune. also this morning: the queen's official birthday celebrations continue, we're live at buckingham palace ahead of the annual trooping the colour parade. tensions over trade,

as world leaders gather for the g7 summit in canada. and find out how i got on when i gave formula 2a a go, also known as green power racing. what does this do? oh! that the horn! and alina jenkins has the weather. good morning, for many, this weekend it will be mainly dry with warm spells of sunshine but once again, some showers in the forecast and they could be heavy and thundery, i'll tell you all about them in the next 15 minutes. thanks. good morning. first, our main story. 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. the list recognises the achievements of more than 1,000 people across the uk, many for work done in their communities. this year's honours have not been without controversy, the boss of network rail is made a cbe in the same week that the firm was criticised for railway disruption.

lizo mzimba reports. been a bit of a shambles, really. it'sjust been a bit of a nightmare. they were just stuck, because there were so many northern trains just sat at platforms, because they had no drivers. the decision to make network rail‘s chief executive mark carne a cbe for services to the rail industry was made many weeks ago, but is still being seen as controversial, following network rail‘s role in the recent and ongoing chaos affecting hundreds of thousands of passengers. the department for transport‘s acknowledged the timing was unfortunate. commentator: kenny dalglish! less controversially, player, manager and a figure who gave huge support to the hillsborough families, kenny dalglish, says he's hugely proud to receive a knighthood. for everybody that made a contribution, and maybe even had to tell one or two untruths about myself to get it this far, to come out and get the accolade i've been awarded is very humbling. imagine your husband bought a gold

necklace, and come christmas, gave it to somebody else. oscar—winning actress and writer emma thompson becomes a dame, for services to drama. the troops have been firing, indiscriminately... among the cbes, the award just below knight and damehoods, bbcjournalist, kate adie. announcer: asking the questions, bamber gascoigne. and author and broadcaster, bamber gascoigne. becoming an 0be, gold—medal winning winter 0lympian, lizzy yarnold. commentator: that is a gold—medal winning run. most honours have gone to people for work in communities, people like akeela ahmed, the founder of online forum she speaks we hear. i really wanted to elevate the everyday voices of muslim women, because i felt that more often than not they're spoken about in negative terms, but we didn't really get to hear their authentic voices. the oldest person recognised, becoming an mbe, 103—year—old rosemary powell, britain's longest—serving poppy seller,

who retired after 97 years earlier this month. lizo mzimba, bbc news. congratulations to all of them. you will speak to dame mary beard in a few minutes' time. indeed, we will talk to lots of people celebrating, that's great. the queen will celebrate her official birthday with the trooping the colour parade. notjust not just the notjust the honours list. crowds will be eager to see the duke and duchess of sussex, who married three weeks ago, joining other members of the royal family at the traditional summer spectacle. 0ur royal correspondent nicholas witchell is at buckingham palace. he might have a hint. it's lovely to see you. this looks like we will have a decent day but will the crowds get the spectacle they really wa nt to crowds get the spectacle they really want to see? i think they will, i think we will see harry and meghan

taking part in the carriage procession and later on the balcony. not confirmed, but i would be very surprised if they weren't there. in terms of weather, perfect conditions, dried, overcast, not too hot. remember, there are about 1000 troops taking part and the horses, good conditions. a good number of people already lining the streets outside the palace and down foul—mouthed. the queen will be leaving at around 10:a5am. —— and down pall mall. she had a cataract removed from one of her eyes and she has made a good recovery. the crowds will be watching out for her, the members of the royal family and will be watching out for her, the members of the royalfamily and in particular harry and meghan, who will probably be in the carriage procession. down to horse guards dating from the 18th century, the official marking of the sovereign‘s birthday. she was 90 to six weeks ago and they're back to buckingham palace on the balcony for the fly past. it never seems to does it?

laughter that said it all, i think. there's been no breakthrough at the g7 summit in canada between president trump and the other leaders over the trade tariffs recently imposed by the us. there's now concern on the second and final day that the countries won't be able to agree a joint statement. 0ur diplomatic correspondent, james robbins, reports from quebec. serious faces, as the leaders sat down to confront the collision course on trade, which so divides donald trump from america's traditional partners and friends. but once they were alone, the talking was apparently tough and one official described strong emotions around the table. the president apparently fired off his sets of numbers, showing america suffering from unfair treatment. other leaders fired back their very different figures. when canada's prime minister met the president separately, justin trudeau tried to sound upbeat. we both got elected on a commitment to grow the middle class and help those working hard to join

it, and that's exactly the kind of things we're going to stay focused on. it's a pleasure to have you here, donald. donald trump opted for a joke, at this host's expense. justin has agreed to cut all tariffs and all trade barriers between canada and the united states. so, i'm very happy. and i'd say nafta's in good shape! but we are actually 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 if an agreement can be achieved at the end of the day, will it be at the price of diluting fundamental principles simply to bring together president trump and america's traditional allies? it's notjust trade which isolates president trump from the other six nations. there are big divides over climate change, iran and the israel palestinian conflict. one thing is certain, weather this is g7 or g6+1, 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. james robbins, bbc news, quebec. 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 rows within the conservative party. she says when she gets back from quebec, she will be cracking on. let's speak to our political correspondent matt cole. hejoins us from he joins us from london. hejoins us from london. she is desperately trying to send out a signal that things are still on track, that she can get through this? that's right. good morning. trying to regain the initiative after a very difficult week on

brexit. not only has theresa may been under pressure from labour to publish this white paper, the document proposals for the next stage of brexit but theresa may has also been battling her own side. there were suggestions the brexit secretary, david davis, was threatening to resign their recording of boris johnson questioning the progress of the talks, suggesting they were heading for meltdown. theresa may is going to gather together her bickering cabinet colleagues, take them for an away day to chequers, her country residence and thrash out the details of that white paper. the british people want us to deliver brexit and lam doing people want us to deliver brexit and i am doing exactly that. i am doing it because there is a prize for us at the end of this, a brighter future for britain, in control of out future for britain, in control of our laws, money and borders. the release of that white paper and that gathering to discuss it, they are going to happen after a big meeting of the eu in a couple of weeks' time. it had been thought that the white paper, with its proposals and

supposed ambitious detailed plans for things like the customs union, would come out before that eu summit, helping to lead the talks. clearly, that is now not going to be the case. thanks. a man will appear before magistrates today charged with the manslaughter and robbery of a 100—year—old woman whose neck was broken when she was mugged. zofija kaczan died nine days after she was pushed to the ground and her bag stolen in derby. 39—year—old arthur waszkiewicz was arrested on thursday and charged yesterday. the food standards agency has opened an investigation into allegations that traces of meat were found in some vegan and vegetarian products at tesco and sainsburys. it follows an investigation by the daily telegraph newspaper, which says tests found traces of pork in sainsbury‘s meat—free meatballs, and traces of turkey in vegan macaroni from tesco. the supermarkets say they're investigating, and that early analysis had not raised any issues. a teenage boy has been charged with seven robberies

committed in north london in the space of an hour. scotland yard says the 1a—year—old, who cannot be named for legal reasons, was a passenger on a moped, during a series of attacks across three areas on thursday afternoon. police found 13 mobile phones in his possession. he's due to appear before magistrates today. it is 8:11am. let's talk some more about the queen's birthday honours, and hearfrom the historian and professor mary beard who's been made a dame. she's a well—known face on our tv screens thanks to her documentaries, and she's in cambridge this morning.... she isjoining us. good morning, mary beard, thank you for being with us mary beard, thank you for being with us and congratulations! hello. thanks a lot. how does it feel, how long have you known and what does it mean to you? i have known for weeks

that it has been absolute hell not telling anybody. it's really great that the news has been announced. i feel, you know, still a sense of disbelief, but also i'm dead chuffed. i'm dead chuffed, partly because it's for studying classical civilisation, you know, so i think it's an honour for me civilisation, you know, so i think it's an honourfor me but an honour for the ancient greeks and romans, too. and an honourfor all my colleagues, who work on classical civilisation. what's not to like? do you know who nominated you? civilisation. what's not to like? do you know who nominated you ?|j civilisation. what's not to like? do you know who nominated you? i have not a clue! but whoever it is, thank you very much. what happens next, now that you've got this? you are a dame! how does that feel? laughter well, i'm not quite sure quite how i'm going to take all the ribaldry. my i'm going to take all the ribaldry. my family i'm going to take all the ribaldry. myfamily are i'm going to take all the ribaldry. my family are already saying things like "pantomime dame" and my husband

has already said that i must be buttons. i've got to get through the joking first and then find out how it feels. indeed. we spoke to you in march about your latest book, takes a look at how powerful women have been treated in history. women in power. can you reflect on how things have changed over the past decade? we expect women like you, scholars, people who are investigating and pushing boundaries, to be on it, now. things are getting better. i haven't looked at the honours list very carefully. but it is showing that women are getting increasingly recognised. but i still think that there is progress, but we could make ita there is progress, but we could make it a bit quicker, honestly. 4996 of the honours list consists of women. what does that tell you? it tells me that, at last, at a

very, long last, women are getting theirjust deserts. i think that's something to be celebrated. it's taken a down long time. there is a very slow revolution going on. from the honours list to #metoo we should be pleased about that but there is still a way to go. it's interesting, i wonder if you have thought about how people relate to the honours list. you are an academic. we also see you on our television screens. we see celebrities, actors also being on it. it is often for work that isn't seen, directly, that comes into our homes. what does the honours list mean to everyday people who see people like you on the telly saying, what does that mean, those letters after her name? we need to think more about this, honestly.

i don't think that you should just get a gong for doing yourjob. increasingly it was about ordinary people who went beyond the ordinary. in helping the community. that's also something which is changing. i don't think i'm a celebrity, but some people are and it's good when they go beyond what you would expect to give them recognition. but it's not as more important to give people who don't get in the newspapers recognition —— it's much more important. that is what the honours list should be for. making sure that people who are below the radar get recognised. now it's out there, how are you going to celebrate? the truth is, i celebrated rather late last night! laughter

this is rather early for me to be talking to you! today i'm going to be marking exams, back to the day job. technical question from one of our viewers, if you are a professional who is made a dame, are you then dame professor mary beard or professor dame mary beard? this isa or professor dame mary beard? this is a tricky one that i had taken advice and is professor dame. in that order. but i didn't know that until yesterday. we are learning everyday! professor dame mary beard, thank you very much. very pleased that you got up after a late night celebrating and to join us. thank you. i'm going back to bed, now!|j you. i'm going back to bed, now!” don't blame you. take care. so are we! separately! yes, separately! here's alina with a look at this morning's weather. professor dame mary beard will miss

that as she goes back to bed. save us, please! i will try. that as she goes back to bed. save us, please! iwill try. iwill also go back to bed but separately as well! laughter the weather for many today is dry and sunny with sunshine already starting to come through in wales. medium and high level cloud turning things hazy. if you are heading off to the trooping of the colour, there is cloud in london but it will thin and break and there will be spells of sunshine, 20 celsius expected midday but probably a degree higher in the mid afternoon. weekend, most is going to be mainly dry, good spells of sunshine. however, some showers around and they might be heavy and boundary. more on those in a moment. very high pollen levels across england and wales but low for the far north—east of england and quite know in scotland in the far west and it is high in northern ireland. heavy and thundery showers at the moment in the channel islands, torrential rain and showers

for parts of pembrokeshire and gwyneth and some in parts of yorkshire. some showers developing across the far west of scotland. this part of the country we have a met office warning, some of the showers could bring lots of rain in a short amount of time. some will miss them and stay dry with some sunshine, such is the nature of showers. northern ireland is seeing some, the yellow warning extends. cumbria and yorkshire could be like but some sharp showers for wales and south—west england, the channel islands and some showers developing across south—east england, the east midlands, east anglia later on but very isolated. most will have a largely dry day. showers will fade away through this evening. some cloud continuing to linger across north—east coast, benny cool and that cloud pushing back westwards through the nice —— fairly cool. 9-14dc through the nice —— fairly cool. 9—14dc overnight low, muddy and humid particularly in southern england. high pressure is the dominating factor but a few features

are bringing some showers, not least the system across france. the channel islands still perhaps seeing heavy and thundery showers on sunday. that is as far north as they will come, south coast will be dry with spells of sunshine, more sunshine for most of us tomorrow. still some showers transferring east across scotland, filtering down into northern england, some in wales and south—west england. 0therwise northern england, some in wales and south—west england. otherwise a dry day with plenty of sunshine. temperatures in the sunshine 20, maybe even 25 celsius across east anglia and south—east england. monday, most will be dry with plenty of sunshine particularly across england and wales, fewer showers for northern ireland but still some in scotland. temperatures ranging between 18 and 24 celsius. if you prefer something fresher, that's probably on the cards as we head through the latter half of next week. if your garden is thirsty like mine, rain by thursday. thanks. have a snooze! not yet! you're watching breakfast from bbc news, it's time now for a look at the newspapers.

the writer and broadcaster simon fanshawe is here to tell us what's caught his eye. we'll speak to him in a minute. first, let's look at the front pages. let's have a look at the daily mirror. they are leading with the queen's birthday honours. sir kenny, kenny dalglish, always known as king kenny dalglish, always known as king kenny but now formally knighted today. off the rails, taking a look at the theme of honours. criticising the fa ct theme of honours. criticising the fact that mark carney, the chief of network rail has received one especially after all the chaos we have seen on the railways with new timetables of late. we will talk about that with simon in a moment. the front page of the sun claiming the back ‘s are furious that there is gossip online suggesting that they have marriage problems —— the beckhams. they have denied they are splitting up and getting a divorce.

the guardian, a picture of anthony bore down on the front page. he has died at the age of 61. the lead story is arming advertisements. —— anthony bourdain. targeting stressed teenagers offered after taking gcse exams. the army accused of targeting them an times. simon fanshawe, good morning. the death of anthony bourdain. something you were looking at.” didn't spot that on the front page. the stress connection. 0bviously kate spade killing herself earlier on this week, the famous handbag designer. anthony bourdain, my nephew is a chef. he gave me kitchen confidential when it came out, the book that anthony bourdain made him famous. the thing about him, if you read the book, he is a trailblazing,

standing on tables, shouting, kind of... he was a mad drunk with cocaine! he was eight swashbuckler. the friendships he made in the kitchens and the people he worked with and what happened, it was made glamorous in that awful way. at the same time, he exposed the dreadful conditions that people actually work on that in kitchens. he had an attitude to food that was fun and... sort of disrespectful... not disrespectful but kind of a bit devil may care. i absolutely loved him,i devil may care. i absolutely loved him, i thought he was a fantastic advocate for better conditions for people in food but also for the sheer love of it. it's tragic. just tragic. another message about, it may all look marvellous on the outside... but you don't know what's going on behind closed doors.” outside... but you don't know what's going on behind closed doors. i have talked about this before, i suffer from mild depression. there's nothing you can do about it,

that's the worst thing about it. if you are massively depressed, then you are massively depressed, then you don't see any point. absolutely terrible. simon, a lot of reaction from viewers this morning to the honours list, not least to the fact that the chief executive of network rail is getting a cbe in the week that rail timetables have caused chaos for passengers and there seems to bea chaos for passengers and there seems to be a mismatch between public perception and royal approval. you could say ok, these things don't work quite like that because you get asked. you get a bizarre letter that says, "we are minded to, and would you, if we offered, i accept?" you have in 0bes. 2013. you get this letter months before. this will have been decided ages ago and he would have said yes. but network rail has been like this for ever! i live in

brighton and i spent my entire life on the train is going to london and then all over the country to work. it drives us mental. the thing that really drives us mental, passengers, it doesn't matter who you talk to, it's not their fault. it doesn't matter who you talk to, it's not theirfault. network it doesn't matter who you talk to, it's not their fault. network rail owns the track, and then some other people own the rolling stock and then you've got the franchise who operate the rolling stock. it doesn't matter who you ask. fundamentally, the infrastructure is run by network rail. the department for transport has said while the timing of this announcement is clearly u nfortu nate, given timing of this announcement is clearly unfortunate, given the current timetabling issues... most people will share the point, train travel has obviously got room to improve and has done for years. but however, he has performed at the head of the country's most important bodies. this shouldn't detract from him serving at the top of the important public body or from his work in improving safety and modernising our rail network." i'm

no expert on the rail network, i am just a passenger but if there's another signalfailure just a passenger but if there's another signal failure at bwlch, i will hurl myself in front of the next train! don't do that. infuriating they can't run the infrastructure properly. what he is being rewarded, i'm not sure. one of the biggest media jobs, most influentialjobs in the country perhaps, editor of the daily mail has come up this week. geordie greg. the guardian saying he has quite a job ahead of him. two sides to this story. what people think of the daily mail under paul dacre. he was never one for fax to create the story, he created the story and then the facts, he had that ability to orchestrate prejudice. he could put his finger on people's worst feelings and drive that home. not to

say he couldn't use that skilled in relation to stephen lawrence's murder and he was the editor who put on the front page, "murderers", and then he said sue me if i'm wrong. and the plastics campaign. but the key thing about him, he was always a campaigning journalist. it is about the story creating the facts, driving an idea that he thinks is important and marshalling facts to support that. the question will be, will that stop? undoubtedly it will not change the daily mail's view an brexit. i thought they were... there we re brexit. i thought they were... there were contrasting views. geordie greg is pro—european, he ran the mail on sunday. but there is no way... it was when the express decided to support gordon brown. you couldn't be pro—european, the daily mail

can't beat pro—european comet stakes its reputation on being a brexit paper. —— on b. but he will soften some of that other toxic stuff stop thatis some of that other toxic stuff stop that is not the point. but when you putjudges on the front page who have made a judgment according to the law, but because it's not a judgment you like, you call them traitors, that is not the way in which responsible papers should behave. the owners have clearly stepped in and said, actually, editors need to be softened. the appeal against brexit, that is the story? it was gina miller's case to the supreme court that parliament ought to have the final decision and thejudges agreed ought to have the final decision and the judges agreed and said parliament should have the final decision and the headline in the daily mail painted the judges are somehow being patriotic. paul dacre's supported said he reflected the country rather than created the culture. this is a conversation that can carry on for a long time before

a very media conversation. a very long conversation. we will talk again. we will do it in an hour. this is breakfast. we're on bbc one until 9am this morning, when michel rouxjunior takes over in the saturday kitchen. as pa rt of as part of the chef community, you would have meant anthony bourdain as well, many thoughts with him this morning obviously? absolutely. it is a sad loss and i had the honour and privilege to meet anthony bourdain once. it is dreadful, dreadful. but, yeah... it's a tough one. loss for words. he was such a leading light and a true gent, trailblazer, rock and a true gent, trailblazer, rock and roll but a true gent. nice to hit other chefs talk about other chefs so kindly. what is on the programme today? we have a cracking programme. special guest today is aid edmundson. welcome. thank you. it is nice to be had.”

have been genuinely excited this morning. we have a really good show. you are facing food heaven or food health. as you can see, it nearly everything! at the minute i am partial to halibut and notjust because it is a lovely fish but it isa because it is a lovely fish but it is a nice word to say. halibut, asparagus, those kinds of things. i am bored of chicken. i can't think anyone can make chicken interesting anyone can make chicken interesting any more. and pulses come i don't know how to cook them. i think of myself as a bit of a cook, but i can never get right. we shall see. all will be revealed later. we've got two brilliant chefs. marianne, what is on the menu? today i am doing a froze n is on the menu? today i am doing a frozen tomato consummate. that sounds like breakfast. jamie? we are

going to make home—made meatballs. some herbs, home—made morbidelli, and a summer tomato sauce. on the drinks duty? we have gin cocktails, a nice italian bread forjamie's recipe and some classic french wines. can i have a pint of pale ale? laughter you at home are in charge of whether he eats his food heaven or hell later. see you at 9am. stay with us, headlines coming up. hello, this is breakfast withjon kay and naga munchetty.

coming up before nine we'll get the weather with alina, but first, a summary of this morning's main news. the queen's birthday honours list has been announced, with more than one thousand people being recognised. there's a knighthood for the former liverpool manager kenny dalglish, while oscar—winning actress emma thompson is made a dame. but this year's list is not without controversy — the boss of network rail, mark carne, has been made a cbe in the same week that the firm was criticised for railway disruption. earlier the westmorland and lonsdale mp tim farron, whose constituency has been affected by northern rail cancellations, said it brings the system into disrepute. we can't be having a situation, if

the awards and honours system means anything, you mustn't be awarding and three awarding and honouring leaders of an industry that is colossally failing. chris grayling should not get an honour, the head of the rail operating system should not be getting honours, neither should the head of network rail, he does not need a gong to celebrate what is collective failure. he is pa rt what is collective failure. he is part of that collective leadership. there's been no breakthrough at the g7 summit in canada between president trump and the other leaders over the trade tariffs recently imposed by the us. the us president is attending the summit in quebec alongside other world leaders including theresa may and angela merkel. there's now concern that the countries won't be able to agree a joint statement on the second and final day. 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 rows

within the conservative party and that a lot of activity is planned for the coming weeks. a man will appear before magistrates today charged with the manslaughter and robbery of a 100—year—old woman whose neck was broken when she was mugged. zofija kaczan died nine days after she was pushed to the ground and her bag stolen in derby. 39—year—old arthur waszkiewicz was arrested on thursday and charged yesterday. the food standards agency has opened an investigation into allegations that traces of meat were found in some vegan and vegetarian products at tesco and sainsburys. it follows an investigation by the daily telegraph newspaper, which says tests found traces of pork in sainsbury‘s meat—free meatballs, and traces of turkey in vegan macaroni from tesco. the supermarkets say they're investigating, and that early analysis had not raised any issues. chester zoo has

welcomed the birth of a rare greater one horned rhino. akeno is only the second of his breed to be born at the zoo as part of a programme to increase their population. it's thought only three—and—a—half thousand remain in the wild in their native india and nepal. your assessment of nico is that he looks like a what was it? a shrunken, wrinkled dinosaur.” imagine they are closely related. really cute. those are the main stories this morning. let's get the sport. did you like the rainaud? —— the rainaud? really cute. how could you

not like her? a gentleman, we have had on the sofa. very fair to call him a gentleman, humbly spoken, kenny dalglish. very understated in all he does. when you get in on a like this, it's notjust the football, it's all the work he does away from the pitch for the city of liverpool and in particular all the work and support is given to the families and victims of the hillsborough disaster, something he doesn't go around shouting about but talk to any of those families and he will say how incredibly strong he's been for them. it may have to be sir kenny, not chess king kenny from now on. football legend kenny dalglish has been knighted in the queen's birthday honours list, in recognition of his services to football, charity and the city of liverpool. james burford reports... commentator: and liverpool football club, under their player—manager, kenny dalglish, have become only the third team this century to win the first division championship and the fa cup. 1986 was a famous year

for kenny dalglish. his truly was a trophy—laden career. 29 major titles as a player, 14 as a manager. so how did you find out the news of his knighthood? there was a letter come through the door and i went and i opened it... well, 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. commentator: dalglish makes it 3—1 and equals the scottish scoring record. 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 through 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 get used to being known as sir kenny from now on. james burford, bbc news. also in the sporting honours, defoe may have played 57 times for england, but it's his charitable work, most notably, his friendship with terminally ill, bradley lowery, that has helped him become an, 0.b.e. it was while defoe was playing for sunderland that he became a friend and support for little bradley, who died lastjuly, aged just 6, but by then thanks to the striker, he had captured the nation's hearts. you can see what it means to jermaine. 0n social media he said "it's the proudest moment of my life to be awarded the 0.b.e.

i'm blessed to have received the honour, but it isn't for me, or about me. it's for bradley and all he loved. i'd trade it all, for him to be back in our lives. forget the goals and awards, it's the memories i'll cherish." england's women, are back on top of their world cup qualifying group, after beating russia 3—1 in moscow. manchester city's jill scott, scored twice on her return from injury, taking phil neville's team, two points clear of wales, with two games to play. only the top placed teams automatically qualify for france 2019. northern ireland, can't reach the finals now though, after they were thrashed 5—0, by the netherlands. the republic of ireland also lost last night, to norway. it was all about the tyres in second practice for the canadian grand prix lewis hamilton's mercedes appeared to be quickest because although he finished fourth, he was using a slower tyre. red bull's max verstappen set the fastest time, as the teams tried to work out their best strategy for using the new hyper—soft tyres, which give greater speed but break down quicker. great britain and ireland trail the usa 4—2 going into the second day of the curtis cup in new york state — this is the golf tournament

for elite amateur women. they're looking to repeat their stunning victory of two years ago in ireland, and win on american soil for only the second time, but they took just one full point yesterday, thanks to 0livia mehaffey and sophie lamb in the foursomes. world number one simona halep says she'll "stay chilled" in today's french open final, even though, it's her fourth attempt, to win a maiden grand slam. she faces the american, sloane stephens. it's a big opportunity, it's a big chance, but you never know. i lost three times until now. no—one died! it will be ok. i think i will be more confident because i have a lot of experience. but in tennis you never know so i will stay chilled. and rafael nadal is on track to break his own record, of 10 french open titles, after sailing through to the final with a straight sets win over, huan martin del potro. nadal has lostjust twice, in 87 matches at roland garros. he faces dominic thiem tomorrow.

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 five stone 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. in the heavyweight division there's no limit on height or weight. earlier bbc boxing pundit, steve bunce told us, he thinks fury should be fighting someone taller. in formula one, which is in canada this weekend, the cars hit speeds of 200 miles an hour. but in formula 24, 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.

they're on the starting grid revving their motors. if this was formula 1 you wouldn't be able to hear me now, but it's electric car racing. it's greenpower. not to say, though, that the racing will be any less intense once those lights go out at the start of this huge test of speed and endurance. and the lights are out! they are off! what a moment for these 14—year—olds, 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 opportunity to feel like lewis hamilton.

being on the grid, being on the start line, being on the front line and then obviously being able to win. these young kids have torn up the rule book. they've designed and built their own cars. from the pit lane to the classroom, because behind every car in the race nine months of hard work. it started back in september. mackenzie, you're in charge. how can i help? i've got a spanner. we're all right, thank you. i think we're under control. are you? i'll watch and learn them. a bit of a learning curve, all the designing that goes into the engineering of the car. all the aerodynamics for it. i always thought it was more of a boy's type thing to do, so i wanted to try it out. i want to be an engineer when i'm older, like, computer engineer, so i wanted to progarrme the car and make it work and stuff like that. and fiona got her chance as the first driver for her team, and most do include as many girls as boys. a lot can happen in a 90—minute endurance race,

anxious faces here in the mario brothers camp. teams change drivers every half an hour and they were even brave enough to let me have a go. what does this do? horn sounds oh, that's the horn! just think, all that hard work, months and months of hard work going into building this car, so no pressure to make sure it arrives back safely. oh! went off course a bit there but we've still got the line. it's notjust about speed in this race, it's also about endurance. so if you go too quickly, too much, you'll run the battery down. but despite my best efforts at 30mph, this staffordshire school final was won by a team who went farthest and furthest. what was it like when you realised you'd won? excitement. go back home, enjoy the victory. have a barbecue i guess. and this is only the starting grid for those youngsters hoping there's a whole career on the road ahead.

what a career it could be. not necessarily as a formula! driver that so many jobs necessarily as a formula! driver that so manyjobs in engineering especially for women. it gives you a chance to travel, formula! in canada this weekend. why wasn't school like that when we were there? would love to build a car and race it. more than 200,000 people with mental health conditions will have to wait until the end of the summer to be paid thousands of pounds they are owed by the department for work and pensions. the courts said they should have the money in december, when it was ruled some claimants were discriminated against. paul lewis from radio 4's money box programme has been studying the case. let's be clear, what payments are we talking about and who is affected? they are payments called mobility

components, it's they are payments called mobility components, its is a component of another benefit to help people who can't get around by themselves. most of the people who get it have a physical disability, that is fairly straightforward in many cases. the group we're talking about have a mental disability, where journeying by themselves, planning it, executing a journey would cause them what's called distress. those people, the government wanted to exclude from this benefit. after lots of back and forth with the courts, last december the courts said they definitely should have this. it was blatant discrimination, not to give it to them. the benefit itself is £22 for nearly £60 a week. that helps people with the cost of transport whether its taxis or in some places buying a car. it's now june, if people thought they were getting back in december, that's a lot of money to wait for. it is, and by the time it's paid it's not even going to begin to be paid to anyone

until the end of the summer. that's the date we've been given mummy asked the department is what that meant, said late summer. if you are talking the end of december, that's £5,000 back payment. a significant amount of money. they should have had this back to november 20 16. certainly after the court case was finished last december. why the delay? the government says it's all very complicated. they must look at thejudgment, very complicated. they must look at the judgment, change the guidelines, discuss it as they often say with stakeholders. eventually they will find a formula to say who is and is not entitled. meanwhile, people are waiting. a lady i spoke to yesterday said this £22 a week would have meant she could get a taxi to urgent medical appointments or see her grandchildren. now she must rely on friends of transport which may not a lwa ys friends of transport which may not always be possible. it's important

amounts of money, it's been delayed, really and unconscionably long time. what does the dwp say about why the delay is happening and how they are trying to put it right? they say they're supporting people with mental health conditions, that remains a top priority. to implement thejudgment, new remains a top priority. to implement the judgment, new guidance remains a top priority. to implement thejudgment, new guidance is required. they are working at pace to do that and ensure everyone gets the support they need as soon as possible. that's all they will say, i'm afraid, that they are doing it as quickly as they can but certainly people in the field, experts and campaigners, say it's taking a very long time to do what should be a fairly straightforward job. no doubt you will hear from some people affected on the money box today. and from the former pensions minister who says the department really should get a move on with this. thank you very much. money box will be on bbc radio 4 at 12pm today. i wonder what the weather will be

like at 12... i think it is good for most of us. alina can tell us more. that's a lovely picture. it is. taken in the last hour at bradford—on—avon. many of us will see scenes like this, not on the river but dry throughout the day. trooping the colour starts soon and will be dry, with increasing amounts of sunshine. temperatures around 20 by the afternoon, a degree or so higher and for most of us some sunshine in the forecast. it will be mainly dry, however there is ill some heavy and potentially thundery showers around. detail on those in a moment. a quick look at the pollen levels, very high across england and wales. low for much of scotland and— northern ireland. some heavy, thundery showers across the channel island is bringing torrential rain. showers across parts of rails, some

rumbling yorkshire. —— parts of wales. across scotland and northern ireland we have a warning from the met office, heavy showers, not eve ryo ne met office, heavy showers, not everyone will see them but if you do it will be a lot of rain in a short amount of time. cool along the north—eastern coast of england, there is heavy showers likely to crop up across northern ireland, a across cumbria. could see a view across cumbria. could see a view across wales, south—west england some thundery showers continuing to the channel islands, otherwise much of the country mainly dry with spells of sunshine, and warm, up to 2223 degrees. the showers will lose their energy this evening, myspace evening, most places dry overnight. —— two 22,20 evening, most places dry overnight. —— two 22, 20 three degrees. temperatures on a par with last night, quite muddy and humid. particularly across the south. high pressure the dominating feature to this weekend but keeping an eye on

if few things which are generating showers, not least the system over france. the channel islands could see heavy, thundery showers tomorrow but that's as far north as it north is go. largely drive for much of england, showers cropping up across wales through the afternoon but few and far between. for scotland, the showers go further east, filtering down to northern parts of england. northern ireland has dry day, and for most a lot more sunshine tomorrow. temperatures up to 24. sunshine on monday as well, cloudy from northern ireland but mainly dry and a chance of showers across scotland. almost a largely dry and sunny start to the new week. in the sunshine, temperatures up to 19 and 24. for football—mad children living in some of the poorest parts of the world, playing in a world cup is just a pipedream. but ahead of friday's big kick off in russia, for some that dream has come true. more than 200 young people from 21 countries took part

in the street child world cup in moscow, as part of a global campaign to protect children's rights. let's take a look at some of the action. just like the real thing. the street child world cup in russia. we're joined now by team england players jasmin and shawna, and coach jack badu from the charity centrepoint which got the team together. thank you for coming in. how was it, guys? it was amazing. just exciting, so guys? it was amazing. just exciting, so many different emotions to be in another country surrounded by people from different backgrounds, so overwhelming that such a good time. what was the atmosphere? lots of different backgrounds, how did you all behave amongst the teams? watching that it feels more friendly than competitive. it was so positive out there. even though there were language barriers, it didn't matter. we all found a way to communicate.

it was amazing. you would think we we re it was amazing. you would think we were technically all strangers and there might be a bit of attention but that was not even the case, everyone wanted to know your name. what it was like in your country, what you was interested in. they we re what you was interested in. they were so what you was interested in. they were so interested in what you do back home. it was nice to be welcomed by that. did you make loads of new friends? we did actually. in particular america because it was easy to get along with them and also brazil and india. how did you do, importantly? how did you finish? we came third overall, which was amazing. it was a good experience, though like you say it was in competitive, it was amazing to get that far. what was the thinking behind the competition, jack? the street child world cup gives street

connected young people an opportunity to showcase an aspect of their life, an interest in football. it's an opportunity to really inspire people and to really engage in competition. also the congress aspect gives you the opportunity to go back and educate people within our nation about some of the issues you may face. with the legacy project, the girls are going to be able to come back to centrepoint and implement some of the things they learned in russia and from some of the other teams. how did you select them? we go through a process where we look at some of the clubs we work with, but also people that go through some of our training centres at centrepoint. get an application process , at centrepoint. get an application process, look at everybody‘s journey, and see who will get the most impact out of it. these girls have obviously gone way beyond that. big smiles on your faces. do you feel that you got lots out of it?

definitely. before hand, there's the nervous because you have never been to that country, you don't know what it will be like, then on the first day it's like, getting to know everybody, you are still a bit, do you really want to open up will be as friendly? how they will react. 0n the second day it was like we was all a family, we had known each other ages. it wasjust great, great experience. can we talk about the actual football? like you said, experience. can we talk about the actualfootball? like you said, it was more friendly than competitive. but you still had to take some skills there. do you play...? it but you still had to take some skills there. do you play. . . ? it was interesting, because our first match against india was the first time we had played a match together as a team. our had played a match together as a team. 0urtraining, it's good, but not everyone can get there every week. it was good to get to know our team and get to know how each player plays in different situations. it clearly paid plays in different situations. it clearly pa id off plays in different situations. it clearly paid off in the end. 0bviously clearly paid off in the end. obviously you gelled together really well if you finished third. we were

talking about the messages you would bring them back from the people you met, the friendships you made and the lessons are learned. what have you been telling your mates back here about how different you see the world now? from the stories i have heard from countries such as bolivia and india, when i got home it was more a thing where i appreciated what i personally had. the things they was telling us, they were at such a disadvantage, like, there are people that live on the streets and it really have anywhere to feel safe like we have as a home. it made me appreciate what i have. and not take anything for granted. that's a real message to get through. whatever country you're from, having a safe place to play football, be it a child, a girl, a woman, that's a safe place which is quite rare...? it's really important. 0ne safe place which is quite rare...? it's really important. one of the things we looked at the team usa was

there were different social issues we all face as young people, but also to be aware of other people'ssituations and to think how we can impact the lives of the people we work with. and how can you quys people we work with. and how can you guys take that legacy of what you've bought from russia and implement it backin bought from russia and implement it back in the uk so that in four yea rs' back in the uk so that in four years' time for the next world cup... what will be done? the girls have loads of different ideas, one isa have loads of different ideas, one is a participant progression programme, so hopefully these girls will be part of the next team, coming back as volunteers. 0ne will be part of the next team, coming back as volunteers. one of our participants wanted to make a book of poems from all the nations and translate that back into english. also there is a football association initiative called wildcats, getting girls and a football. we'll be looking at implementing that over the summer to get more young girls playing football. when two next game? laughter we have just had training at the moment. —— laughter we have just had training at the moment. -- when is your next

game? we are playing against a unique team, we will have our training session then play against them. —— uni team. i love you say it's not competitive, but then your faces in those pictures! so competitive! laughter all that to come on the bbc news channel. but this is where we say goodbye to viewers on bbc one. bye for now. 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 thompson is made a dame. but there's controversy too, network rail‘s boss gets an honour for "services to the rail industry", despite the recent chaos for passengers. and in sport, an honour too forjermaine defoe, and the former england striker dedicates his 0be to bradley lowery, the young fan who died last year. defoe said it was the proudest

moment of his life, but he'd trade everything, to have bradley back.
