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 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,
9:03 am

9:06 am
bbc one of the trooping the colour then. i want to know if louis will be there. six weeks. 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
9:07 am
those working hard tojoin 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. so, 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+i,
9:08 am
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 away day at chequers as it tries to agree a final brexit position. when she returns from quebec. i wonder if they can all come together. that's the point. the government hopes to complete its negotiations with the eu by october. she is facing rows within the party, can she defuse them? let's speak to our political correspondent matt cole... this cabinet seems constantly divided with rumours of someone about to quit and then being offered an olive branch and some compromise.
9:09 am
this needs to be stamped out so the proper deal—making can get done. yes. theresa may needs to get on top of her bickering and quarrelling cabinet. a tough week on brexit for the prominence do. labour have been pressuring her to release this white paper, the document that contains the next proposals for brexit on customs arrangements in the future but battles within her own party. suggestions the brexit secretary david davis was threatening to resign and boris johnson david davis was threatening to resign and borisjohnson recording emerged of him suggesting the brexit talks were not going as well as he liked and could be heading for meltdown. theresa may trying to get on top as she has ordered this away day, take a cabinet colleagues to chequers, the prime ministerial country residence and they will try to come to an agreement on the detail of that white paper. the british people want us to deliver brexit and i'm doing exactly that. i'm doing it because there is a prize for us at the end of this, a brighter
9:10 am
future for britain, in control of our laws, money and borders. crucially, both this awayday and publication of the white paper won't actually happen until after a crucial eu summit in a couple of weeks' time in brussels. many thought the white paper with its proposals on things like customs arrangements, finally cabinet coming to an agreement, they thought those proposals would be out before that summit. to set the agenda for the debate to be based on that. clearly, that will not happen and it could be a long summer for discussion about what's next. it really good, couldn't it? 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. a teenage boy has been charged with seven robberies committed

in north london in the space of an hour. scotland yard says the iii—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. a holocaust survivor who became known as the "bride of belsen" after she married a british soldier who helped to free her from the nazi death camp, has died aged 95. gena turgel, who survived the krakow ghetto, auschwitz and bergen—belsen, spent much of her life teaching british schoolchildren about the horrors of the holocaust. gena reflected on her harrowing ordeal, when she spoke to bbc breakfast three years ago. early hours of the morning i woke up and i stood up, and i looked out and i could not believe my eyes.
9:12 am
i've seen walking skeletons, in every sense of the word. heaps of bodies, lying outside each barrack. mountains. you could not distinguish they were men or women. children bodies. it's impossible for anyone to comprehend. it was the most horrible, horrible time of my life. two thirds of people recognised are giving something back. one is recognised this morning. the founder
9:13 am
ofan recognised this morning. the founder of an online forum for muslim women called she speaks, we hear is now been made an mbe. congratulations, how does that feel? i still can't quite believe it. when i first received the letter i had to ask my husband i was reading it correctly. what have you been doing? you are nominated by someone. around 10,000 nominations come in each year. and it is whittled down. did you have any idea who it was? no. someone obviously appreciates the work you have been doing. a few years ago i was fed up of the way women were betrayed in some ways, especially marginalised women, portrayed in the media and especially muslim within. they were either portrayed as a threat or being oppressed. that wasn't reflective of the amazing women i was working with in my own
9:14 am
communities, who are making contributions at a local and national level and getting on with lives and contributing massively. working with them, what were you doing? it could be anything, working on campaigns, talking about issues that muslim women face, into sexuality issues including islamophobia —— intersectionality issues. as a speech therapist, donating to food banks, helping the homeless. i thought it would be great to hear the authentic voices of muslim women and in their own words. for you to be recognised for doing that, for doing what you set out to do, that must mean a lot. doing that, for doing what you set out to do, that must mean a lotm means so much. i am out to do, that must mean a lotm means so much. i am so out to do, that must mean a lotm means so much. i am so honoured. literally! i really feel this is an honourfor me but literally! i really feel this is an honour for me but all the muslim women that i have worked with. and any woman whose voice is not hurt
9:15 am
and whose story goes unheard and they are just and whose story goes unheard and they arejust doing and whose story goes unheard and they are just doing great stuff. —— whose voices not heard. the platform you work for is she speaks, we hear and you have been ministerial it appointed uk government adviser. you have laid down very much what you have laid down very much what you have been doing —— ministerial it appointed. you have also helped organise the women's march on london, you are determined their voices are heard. absolutely. -- that voices are heard. voices are heard. absolutely. -- that voices are heardlj voices are heard. absolutely. -- that voices are heard. i am about elevating and empowering and giving a platform to other women who wouldn't normally have that platform and making sure that not only issues are heard but also that we do something about it. we spoke to mary beard earlier. she wrote a book about women and women in power and the history and examine the history of women in power and how they have been portrayed in history. i asked her if she thinks times are changing. do you think that? women,
9:16 am
voices, being heard and acknowledged? this times are changing. we had the #metoo campaign and there is willingness to make sure that are represented equally across society that so much work to do on the gender pay gap. housing inequalities education and health inequalities education and health inequalities are many marginalised women face. there is still a lot to do. last year around the 2017 campaign, we did a view in mind that basically we were going to come up to 100 years since some women were given the right to vote. we ran a campaign about getting women involved in democracy and politics. that is one way that women can make sure they are empowered and their voices are heard. inevitably, when the queen's honours come out, we spot the famous names, the actors, celebrities, sports stars and they get most of the headlines. we have tried to talk to people like you who are maybe not as familiar but who
9:17 am
have also been rewarded. what do you say to people getting in touch saying this is old—fashioned? 0bes cbes, dame herds and knighthoods, what do you say to that being archaic? for someone who is a second—generation immigrant, it has such a profound meaning. when i think about the struggles my parents went through as immigrants, travelling across two continents to come to this countries with their hopes and dreams... my mother is originally from uganda, she is a british subject. my father is from india. it has huge meaning and is still relevant. it is nice to be recognised in this way. it has been delightful to talk to you. thank you. when do you go and pick up your award? i don't know. iwill find you. when do you go and pick up your award? i don't know. i will find out soon. waiting for another letter! congratulations. thoroughly recognised and well deserved for the work you are doing. thank you. you're watching breakfast from bbc news, it's time now for a look at the newspapers.
9:18 am
let's look at the front pages. mirror go with the honours. sir kenny dalglish, he's always been called king kenny on the kop but now he's officially going to be knighted. arise, sir kenny, they say. i've been enjoying remembering interviewing him on the sofa, a very humble man. many papers looking at him. daily mail, flip side of when it comes to the honours. controversy surrounding marc khan, the head of network rail. —— mark carne. the problems network rail has been facing, the timetable reaction. the backs, the main headline. —— the
9:19 am
beckhams. lots of gossip online within their marriage. they have denied there is any sort of split or divorce, they are said to be furious. two very sad stories on the front page of the guardian anthony bourdain, the chef who took his own life and died at the age of 61. criticism of the army. and its advertising campaign, recruitment campaign. criticism that it is targeting stressed teenagers as they said their exams. they are perhaps considered vulnerable and the advertising campaign being placed at the wrong time saying, if you don't do well in your exams and you are worried, joined the army. let's stay with teenagers, young people. the writer and broadcaster simon fanshawe is here to tell us what's caught his eye. mobile phone use in our schools?
9:20 am
network rail garden mark carne. did i say mark carney? you did! tim farron was staying the different pronunciation, there are two ways of saying it. i have been fudging it in between. like chilli con carne. that is french for ticket, that would work carnet! buying mobile phones in schools. they are about to introduce a law in france, so—called detox law, kids won't be able to take mobile phones into schools under the age of 15. an absolute ban. the french are quite good at banning things, they quite like a ban in france. there is a yes, no. yes, absolutely, they should be reading books and climbing trees and doing that kind of stuff! essentially inordinate from the daily mail and the mirror columnist said... it is
9:21 am
out of control. the guy on the right, this guide, professor of education at the open university has said, ifound education at the open university has said, i found myself education at the open university has said, ifound myself swayed, the point is, that is where kids live, in this technological world. the key thing is that schools should use it. it reminded me of a wonderful woman who i met a few times and know a bit. dame wendy hall. she should be as famous as tom tim berners—lee who invented the internet. she was the first person to get moving images on the internet and she says, they are in their infancy, mobile phones and intranet. we need a much better set of rules, a highway code. i was won around that banning it is not the answer, the key thing is the way in which you help kids to understand and regulate. but children have access to technology in the classroom and often a lot of it is screen —based learning. classroom and often a lot of it is screen -based learning. yes. when it comes to phones, it is about the
9:22 am
social media platform used. facebook, snapchat, instagram. being distracting and not a learning tool. that's fair enough. but the point he is making, this is a reality, you've really got to get kids to understand the advantages and disadvantages and set up rules and norms around it, i bought into it. interesting. donald trump referred to on every news programme around the world. the focus of so much attention at the g7. his deal—making. focus of so much attention at the g7. his deal-making. jonathan freedland, one of the great columnists around at the moment, the guardian. he says that trump's pitch, he is the guy that wrote the art of the deal. he says he's no good deals. look at the deal that was done on that book, the ghost was paid an unheard—of 50% fee. that never happened. he asked for $1 million per episode on the
9:23 am
apprentice up from $50,000 and they gave him $60,000. but the really serious point is this summit between korea and america. friedman is arguing and it makes sense, 0bama could have done it, they could have had a summit. but having a summit is giving away the key bargaining tool. what kim jong—un wants is to be seen as an equivalent on the world stage to the president of the united states and donald trump has just handed it to him. the same with jerusalem becoming the capital of israel, hejust jerusalem becoming the capital of israel, he just handed jerusalem becoming the capital of israel, hejust handed it to benjamin netanyahu israel, hejust handed it to benjamin neta nyahu without israel, hejust handed it to benjamin netanyahu without saying, this is a bargaining chip, i can get something in return. if you put ego at the centre of negotiations, you are always going to lose because people see your desperation. he won't get anything out of this, if he doesn't, what is he going to do? how is he going to spin it and pretend... a lot of the time it is about the way he sells his deals
9:24 am
that achievement rather than the content. i am not saying he is a fantastic conman, but this is dangerous for those of us. kim jong—un runs a slave economy. they have got handles on nuclear weapons. this is dangerous. thank you. here's alina with a look at this morning's weather. it's looking good out there? it is. this picture was taken a few years ago and we will see more sunshine in this picture for the trooping of the colour getting under way shortly. 20 celsius by lunchtime, spells of sunshine coming through the cloud. wherever you are this weekend, there will be some sunshine around. for many places, largely drive. however, when you talk about the showers, there will still be some of those, heavy and potentially thundery if you get them. we will talk about those in a moment. today's pollen levels high for most of england and wales, on the low side for north—east england, high in northern ireland and generally low in
9:25 am
scotland. some torrential rain at the moment from thunderstorms across the moment from thunderstorms across the channel island, sharp showers in wales, yorkshire fizzling out but recently sharp showers in western scotland. it could turn thundery here for the rest of the day, lots of rain in a short amount of time. met office warning for heavy rain and heavy thunderstorms in northern ireland. east in scotland, dry and cloudy and cool on eastern coasts and north east england. some sharp showers in cumbria and yorkshire. continuing through wales and maybe south—west england in the afternoon. later, you could catch scattered showers in east anglia and south—east england. most will be largely dry. spells of sunshine as the cloud fins and breaks through this morning. 0vernight, clear spells before the cloud slowly sta rts spells before the cloud slowly starts to come back in. maggie and humid. particularly in southern england, cabbage is no lower than 1a celsius. 9—13. this is the setup
9:26 am
through the weekend. high pressure which is pretty much in charge. that being affected by different features. northern france continuing to generate thunderstorms. the channel islands could catch some of those tomorrow. that's about as far north as they go. i mainly dry start for many, more sunshine in england and wales tomorrow. showers for wales, south—west england, northern england and in the afternoon transferring east into eastern parts of scotland. mainly dry for northern ireland. tomorrow in the sunshine, 24 ireland. tomorrow in the sunshine, 2a celsius. the new week mainly largely dry. a good deal of sunshine, showers never too far away from the south coast. showers for scotla nd from the south coast. showers for scotland but in the sunshine temper get about 2k on monday. —— temperatures up around. thanks. tyson fury‘s stunning world heavyweight victory against wladimir klitschko in 2015 should have been the start of something special. instead, he's attracted controversy for outspoken remarks, and fallen into a cycle of drink,
9:27 am
drugs and depression. he starts his comeback tonight, against albanian sefer seferi. the good news is he's coming back out of it. mike's come back and we're also joined by tyson fury‘s promoter, frank warren. how difficult has this rode been for him to come back? before we talk about who he is fighting, how is tyson fury? at the moment he is in a good place. he came from a dark place, rock bottom as he set himself. he was suicidal. he was having therapy will stop —— as he said will stop some of the things we re said will stop some of the things were self—inflicted but some outside his control. he has got his life together and boxing will be his salvation. did you think he would? i wasn't too sure in the beginning. we we re wasn't too sure in the beginning. we were talking seven months ago, you could feel he was getting some enthusiasm back and getting mentally
9:28 am
back into the right place. that has been good for him and giving him the will to do it. he has lost almost eight stone in the last few months. he still has a way to go but he has done fantastically well. credit to him. forget about boxing, from where he was. when you came in just now i said this will be fun to night and you said it's a bit mad. let's look at the pictures of yesterday. does this explain it? the difference between these two is extraordinary. four stone ten. about six feet difference! 0nly four stone ten. about six feet difference! only a foot! 11 inches. it looks like david and goliath!m does. a bit like david haye when he fought the guy, the beast from the east. there was a head difference, he was a seven foot tall. size is not about... if it is always the biggest guy always wins it would be a foregone conclusion but look at mike tyson, vander holyfield. they
9:29 am
we re mike tyson, vander holyfield. they were all about six foot, six foot one. he is an exceptionally big man, tyson fury. he has a bit of weight to do but he is getting himself back into fight mode. how much of a contest cannot be with that height difference which our bbc boxing pundit was saying, the weight is a big thing, but the height will make the difference. he couldn't see it going more than three roundabouts, he watched to see more. i would like to see him get rounds under his belt. this guy has never been stopped. 0nly lost one fight against the wba regular champion and he went the distance. i don't know, from that point of view. he is favourite to win, tyson fury but as i said from the beginning, we are ina but as i said from the beginning, we are in a position with him that it isa are in a position with him that it is a comeback. if he was a footballer he would be playing in the reserves for a few games. you would gradually ease him back in. where does the ego coming? tyson fury is a big name, still a where does the ego coming? tyson fury is a big name, stilla name that we know even though he hasn't fought recently. you want to come back big? he is big! may be too big?
9:30 am
i wouldn't tell that to him! i wouldn't, either. but you want to come back and say, i am back, i am not fighting a little man who eve ryo ne not fighting a little man who everyone said i could easily beat, i have proven i am back in the ring and back in the game. he is actually fighting a big man, he is six foot two. but he is six but... it is not about height. as i said. if it is all about somebody being a freak of nature, the tallest guy in the world would be the heavyweight champion. it's about size, and boxing ability. asi it's about size, and boxing ability. as i said, to get it right, we are trying to get rounds for him, we are easing him back in. rb punters going to get value for money? they will do. -- are all of the punters going to get. terry flanagan he is fighting. that is on radio five tonight. you have got a great fight with those two. we are getting value. it's very difficult to say. can
9:31 am
tyson proved us he's learned his lessons and get back to the amazing thing he did in 2015 when he beat wladimir klitschko?” thing he did in 2015 when he beat wladimir klitschko? i hope so. mentally, he's in a great place and much better physically than he was over the past couple of years. he's been out the ring nearly 1000 days, it's a. he will hopefully come through tonight and we can get him out again quickly, then he will be ina out again quickly, then he will be in a position where he can challenge one of the world champions. —— he's been out the ring nearly 1000 days, it isa been out the ring nearly 1000 days, it is a process. and you can hear commentary of the fight this evening live on bbc radio 5 live. stay with us, headlines coming up. hello, this is breakfast withjon kay and naga munchetty. coming up before ten 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
9:32 am
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. half of those recognised this year are women. one of them is the historian professor mary beard, who's been made a dame. at last, at very long last, women are getting theirjust deserts. i think that's something to be celebrated. it's taken a down a long but there is a very slow revolution going on. from the honours list to me too, we should be pleased about that. there is still a way to go. professor dame mary beard. there's been no breakthrough at the g7 summit in canada between president trump
9:33 am
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. chester zoo has welcomed the birth of a rare greater one horned rhino.
9:34 am
he has not got a horn yet. but he will in time. 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. and now, in their native chester as. we have been talking about the honours list, and kenny dalglish is on that as well. it may have to be sir kenny from now on. he is such an understated, humble man. he's not a showman. never seeking publicity saying controversial things. despite all he achieved on the football pitch, it's more what he's done since the charity and for liverpool, especially the survivors and victims
9:35 am
of the hillsborough disaster. quietly working away with them. when we interviewed him, he almost gruffly kind of pushes that way. he doesn't want to take any of that praise. it's not about me. he's quite shy. lovely man. it may have to be sir 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, 1a as a manager. so how did he find out the news of his knighthood? there was a letter come through the door and i went
9:36 am
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 is well versed
9:37 am
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... the gold medal—winning winter pa ralympian, visually impaired menna fitzpatrick is another of the sporting stars recognised with an mbe, in this years queen's birthday honours list. the 20—year—old skier won a gold,

9:42 am
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. 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. and 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,
9:43 am
huan martin del potro. nadal has lostjust twice, in 87 matches at roland garros. he faces dominic thiem tomorrow. there was an incredibly tight game in rugby league's super league with oliver holmes touching down, as castleford beat warrington by 3a points to 30, to earn their first win of the season, against a top four side. i'm going to go and have a look at menna's medals. they aren't listening. i wonder if the sun will be doing the same this weekend... it's bound to be. it's always lovely in the weekend. where do you live?! there will be some sunshine around and most of us will stay largely dry. however, there will be potentially thundery showers in the
9:44 am
forecast. a quick look at what's happening very shortly, trooping the colour will be dry. spells of sunshine, temperatures around 20. through the afternoon they could climb higher. if like me you you are rather sneezy at the moment, it's probably down to the high pollen. high levels for northern ireland, low in scotland. thundery showers heavy at the moment, continuing for a few more hours. 0n heavy at the moment, continuing for a few more hours. on and off through wales. already showers getting going across western parts of scotland. northern ireland will see heavy and thundery showers through the day, a yellow warning from the met office to cover torrential rain. some will miss the rain entirely, more cloud along the coast. showers perhaps for cumbria, continuing for wales and parts of south—east england and east anglia later in the day. could catch one across central southern england
9:45 am
but most places will be largely dry. in the sunshine, temperatures up to 18 or 22. looks like the showers will lose their energy this evening and overnight, most bases become dry. that cloud plaguing some eastern, north—east coast is wishing westward. temperatures on a par with last night. quite a muddy field, particularly for southern parts of england. high—pressure influencing our weather through the weekend, because of things like this across northern france. thundery showers, the channel islands and nine this heavy showers tomorrow but also sunshine in between. in terms of showers elsewhere, fewer across northern ireland and the ones across scotla nd northern ireland and the ones across scotland will push further east. some affecting northern england drew the day and wales and south—west england could cease and showers otherwise dry, plenty of sunshine. quite a warm feeling day tomorrow. that will will continue into the
9:46 am
start of the new week, plenty of sunshine per most in england and wales on monday. mainly dry for northern ireland but more cloud here and generally across scotland. maybe and generally across scotland. maybe a few showers through the afternoon but in the sunshine, temperatures 19 to 24. a similar story on tuesday and wednesday but if you prefer something fresher, maybe a more general spell of rain, that will perhaps, our way through thursday. what ever you are doing, have a great weekend. are we roughly right in terms of average temperatures are we are probablyjust a bit above. southern england, probably looking at 21, so if we get 24 or 25, it's a bit above average. three degrees doesn't feel like much though, does it? really! it does for me, above 22 it's really warm. 20 to me, perfect. iam it's really warm. 20 to me, perfect. i am with you. perfect golfing
9:47 am
weather. give us a smile. really big smile. we are going to talk smiles now. over a million people are expected to travel to the football world cup, which starts on thursday. russia wants to put on a good show, and a warm welcome, which is why training is underway to teach russians how to smile. 0h, oh, i 0h, isee! here's our moscow correspondent steve rosenberg. at the russian railways, they are studying hard. today's lesson is how to smile. you see, russians didn't do much of that in public. russian people usually don't smile, that's why when other people come to russia, they think russian people aren't friendly. we need to teach
9:48 am
them how to smile, how to change their attitude. but aware. in russia, smiling in public can get you into trouble.|j got stopped by police men and i was quite angry about it. he asked me to show my id. afterwards i asked him why he stopped me, and he said to me, because you were smiling. that's what he said, literally. because it's strange, person walking on the street and smiling. it looked alien and suspicious. laughter here are some russians bucking the trend. this is laughter yoga. it gives me i0y. this is laughter yoga. it gives me joy, energy. anything is possible. i can do everything. laughter itjust goes to show that despite their frosty exterior,
9:49 am
russians have what it takes to put a smile on yourface. laughter do russians really need to learn to smile?! we arejoined now by olga makarenko, who is the founder of the russian language centre in manchester. give us a smile. big smile. my best smile! is that really true? i think it is. we have a slightly different culture about smiling. if we categorise very broadly, smiles, into two categories. 0ne categorise very broadly, smiles, into two categories. one is appropriate, a polite smile, and the other is a genuine smile when you feel like smiling. the first category is frowned upon because we have lots of sayings like if you frown for no reason, you might seem like a fool. that lady in the piece saying she was suspected by the police force smiling. i have never
9:50 am
had that experience but i can understand it. the second kind of smile is absolutely fine, if you feel like smiling, you like somebody or you like smiling to that person, it's fine and it's not frowned upon. we actually mock question is a bit because we say, gosh, they always smile. why are they always happy? it seems artificial to us, or we think it is artificial. in a way, we do smile, we do laugh, we can do it but we do it privately. with people we know. these guys are making up for lost time. this looks a little strange if i'm honest. it looks strange to me, this whole affair. when you meet someone new for the first time, and you did this when you came into the studio and you met us, you smile. you don't naturally feel happy just and you met us, you smile. you don't naturally feel happyjust because you have met us but you smile because it is polite and welcoming. why do you think i am not happy?! i
9:51 am
am happy this morning! but it's a social niceties. does that not happen in russia? he would naturally smile if you met a stranger? happen in russia? he would naturally smile if you met a stranger7m would not be perhaps like all 32 teeth, know what i mean? it's considered a little vulgar to smile too much, to show too much of a fools smile. equally, smiles mean a lot in russia. if a british tourist finds themselves on a bus and a girl smiles at him, that's pretty much an invitation for an sacked for conversation at least. if an old lady smiles on a bus for example, may you've got a bit of breakfast stuck on your nose or something. maybe you have to look in the why is she smiling at you? do you smile at people in the street? i willjust smile passing strangers and say a good afternoon or whatever. especially if they have got a bit of brea kfast especially if they have got a bit of breakfast on their teeth. would you
9:52 am
smile if they had breakfast or...?lj would ignore it and tell them later! in russia you would know straightaway because everybody would be looking at you and smiling. we had a dream trials the bbc presenter in hague he has done a podcast on a russian culture and history. he said he's been amazed at how little we as brits really know and understand about a country like russia which is so much in the headlines. yet we don't really get it. is that true as a russian living in the uk?|j don't really get it. is that true as a russian living in the uk? i think it's partly true. if you go to moscow, you probably would not notice much difference. you would see a wonderful city, beautiful architectural buildings. western looking people, but if you go further afield, outside moscow or go to small towns, then probably you would see a different picture.
9:53 am
people not used so much to outsiders from other countries. having said that, lots of people are starting to travel in the last 20 years, russian people. you see russians everywhere in europe or all over the world. we have started abiding by your rules, if you like, of etiquettes. smiling when you have to smile. they tend to be the wealthier ones though. not necessarily. lots of my friends, normal people, have been abroad at least once. i have noticed that european and westerners smile a lot more and they kind of becoming aware that you guys are making fun of us for being so severe and strict looking. things are changing i i think. if i am a restaurant owner, you would want to cater to westerners and you would want your customers to be happy and smile. the world cup, we that's why we aren't
9:54 am
talking about this today. lots of smiley people heading to russia for the world cup. that's why some of the world cup. that's why some of the volunteers are being taught to be welcoming. good an event like this may be create cultural change in russia? —— could an event like this? i think things will be changing. the more globalised world becomes, the more all these etiquettes and rules become united. i think it will definitely change. bit by bit, things will change eventually to be very similar. it's happening already in moscow and it will happen and the rest of russia, but maybe not in our lifetime even. how open russians in terms of adapting to visitors? remember when the olympics were held in china, lots of stuff about spitting and that culturally, there cultural changes, the fact that lots of europeans queue and in china you don't tend to see much queueing. the
9:55 am
chinese try to embrace it and the government made a real effort to say, we need to work on this, and encourage tourism. do you think this will be similar, we'll russians welcome this? 0h, will be similar, we'll russians welcome this? oh, yes, i think russia will put the best foot forward. they will try their best. i think british people certainly will be surprised how friendly russians are. without the fools miles and —— without the false smiles. they are welcoming, i think people will be happy at the end of the day. she says with a big smile across her face! i've been here a long time. how long? 12 years. have you found yourself getting more smiley? definitely. well, i'm happy. i don't know if it comes with age or that i live in the uk, where there are
9:56 am
different rules. the older you become, generally the happier you are. with age, was makes you happy. that's a good life lesson. -- with age, wisdom makes you happy. thank you so much forjoining us. smiling all the way through even at this time in the morning. the makeup artist and entrepreneur charlotte tilbury has been made an mbe in the queen's birthday honours for services to the beauty and cosmetics industry. she was just a teenager when she first started experimenting with make—up. today her award—winning cosmetics brand is available worldwide. shejoins us now from our studio in new york. thanks very much forjoining us. but you just at the end of the programme, we are pleased to say. how do you feel about this? i'm ecstatic. it's 5pm here in new york. iamjust die ecstatic. it's 5pm here in new york. i am just die jesting getting this

9:59 am
d'etre. in this brand was really all about the empowerment of women, and the employee 110 people, 85% of which are women. championing women in business is fantastic and i would love to see more of it, it's wonderful to be able to do that. charlotte tilbury, congratulations, mbe. have a good day, bye—bye. this is bbc news. the headlines at 10am: the queen's birthday honours are announced. amongst the names on this year's list are former liverpool manager kenny dalglish, who is knighted, and actress emma thompson, who is made a dame. to get it this far and to come out and getting the accolade that's been awarded is very humbling.
