it'sjust been 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,

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. writer and teacher kate

people and bringing their voices into poetry and literature. how important do you think not only that work is, because it is clearly a passion for you, but the recognition of it? it's hugely important. it's about being heard. i have a popular twitter account and when i tweet out poems that have been written by my stu d e nts poems that have been written by my students and then people who are people in the world read them, they feel so validated. we got our book published. hold it up, because we can't see it. so those are poems by children, many of them do not have english as theirfirst children, many of them do not have english as their first language? none of them have english as their first language. they are all migrants. some of them are refugees and others are migrants of other sorts. it is valuable to them to be ina sorts. it is valuable to them to be in a probable. it is valuable to them to be heard. and i think the

mba doubles that for me. it makes me feel heard and recognised and just very warm. it is lovely. they will have to reprint it now to put mbe next to your name. i am not so bothered about that. well, you should be, because it is a tribute to the work you have been doing. i presume you now have to go into the classroom and tell the children. presume you now have to go into the classroom and tell the childrenlj will classroom and tell the children.” will do that, and i will say what is mbe, miss? do you think you might get into that discussion about what the initials stand for as well? that has always been a debate and for some people, it has put them off accepting honours. i can see that and obviously, the british empire was a long time ago. it is one of those things that is known by its acronym , those things that is known by its acronym, really, and it means we and oui’ acronym, really, and it means we and our country recognise you, that is a nice thing. i have no good negative feelings about it. how are you going

to celebrate? coming in to talk to me is not the way of celebrating.” hope to have a cup of tea after this! i hope the bbc studio might stretch to that. i know our collea g u es stretch to that. i know our colleagues opened things up to let you in. thank you for coming in. congratulations. kate clancy mbe, author and teacher —— kate clanchy. 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. the two narratives on who is bullying who can't easily be squared but there are suggestions that limited progress has been made. 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 his 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 this 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. germany's chancellor angela merkel is one of those suggesting it may be impossible to agree a final summit communique. it's more honest, she said, to name the differing views and try to overcome them than try to pretend everything is ok. one thing is certain, whether this is g7 or g6+i, president trump will be long gone before the summit ends. last to arrive, first to leave, seeming to confirm his 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 and that a lot of activity is planned for the coming weeks. as our political correspondent matt cole explained, theresa may has endured another testing week over britain's departure from the eu. she's been under pressure on wednesday at prime minister's questions. labour leaderjeremy corbyn once again asked, when are we going to get this white paper, the proposals document on the next stage of brexit, including that controversial issue of what plan for our customs arrangements in future thatis our customs arrangements in future that is so dividing the cabinet? and

some of those cabinet divisions then made things harderfor some of those cabinet divisions then made things harder for mrs may, some of those cabinet divisions then made things harderfor mrs may, with rumours that the brexit secretary david davis was threatening to resign if he didn't get a particular thing as part of that pushed through. that seemed to just about go away, some suggesting that theresa may had done well. then a recording emerges of borisjohnson, the foreign secretary, saying he didn't think the talks were going well and that they could even go into meltdown. so theresa may disappeared off to the g7 summit in canada, but by the time she landed, all of the boris johnson canada, but by the time she landed, all of the borisjohnson recordings had emerged. so she is now talking tough, trying to regain some of the initiative. people like boris have strong views on brexit, but so do i. i want to deliver brexit for the british people. that is what people wa nt british people. that is what people want and! british people. that is what people want and i am doing it. how many times can we get to this position where you have to have these clashes with those on your insight? at every stage in these negotiations, we have

seen stage in these negotiations, we have seen people casting doubt on whether or not we could achieve what we want to achieve. we are now moving on to finalise those withdrawal issues and also to move on to discuss our future relationship. that has been a difficult week and it is going to be a difficult weekend with the divisions over trade at the g7. she is back at the start of next week for a big parliamentary week on brexit. indeed. we have the withdrawal from the eu bill, the brexit bill, which returns to the commons on tuesday. some 15 amendments were made to it by the house of lords in 26—hour sessions. there was going to be one and a session on tuesday, but they have now broken it up. but theresa may only has a working majority of 13. trying to keep everybody on side to make sure that none of those amendments stay in could be difficult. all of these things are putting huge pressure on her, with a big eu summit at the end of the

month. and we now know that the white paper, with all the plans that we re white paper, with all the plans that were meant to come out before that summit, now won't be. how confident do you think ministers are privately that things are on track? there is this deadline that the eu has imposed, saying we have to get this signed off by october because the ratification process, which is required by individual member countries, will take most of six months before you walk out of the door. not least ratification by the parliament here. one of the amendments being discussed next week is what happens if parliament get a meaningful vote and they know. does it go back to the government to have 28 days of thinking if the king get the revised amendment through, who knows? the taliban in afghanistan has announced a three—day ceasefire to take place over the muslim holiday of eid at the end of next week. it's the first offer of its kind

since the us—led invasion in 2001. the militants said foreign forces would be excluded from the ceasefire and that they would defend themselves from attack. afg hanistan's ambassador to neighbouring pakistan described the move as an important step towards prospects for peace. joining us now from kabul is our correspondent shoaib sharifi. filibustering on the background to this. there has been —— fill us in on the ground. there has been a long process to get to a permanent peace, but this is just a pause process to get to a permanent peace, but this isjust a pause in process to get to a permanent peace, but this is just a pause in the fighting? yes indeed. since february this year, there have been more affairs going on about bringing the taliban to the negotiating table. the president announced an unconditional peace deal with the taliban which a few weeks down the line, the taliban responded by launching a very fierce spring

offensive. and less than a week ago, top american military officials announced that they and the afghan officials have managed to reach some mid to high level taliban in order to make them sit at the negotiation table and finally take practical steps towards ending violence in afghanistan. two days ago, the afg ha n afghanistan. two days ago, the afghan government announced a week—long ceasefire which it said was in response to religious scholars‘ demand. they asked both sides to stop violence. this morning, the taliban‘s announcement surprised everyone in afghanistan. a group which has fought the us backed

afg ha n group which has fought the us backed afghan government for 17 years has announced that it. for three days. it is only three days, but for the first time, the country will be experiencing a bilateral ceasefire, which is hopefully happening in six days‘ time from now. which is hopefully happening in six days' time from now. there is obviously a great symbolic importance. but when the taliban say, we will carry on fighting the foreign forces, in truth, are there now many clashes international troops or has it been the case that they have stepped back and the afg ha n they have stepped back and the afghan military has stepped forward? in fact, since the exit of foreign forces in 2014, afghan forces are in the driving seat and front line. so the driving seat and front line. so the foreign forces are mostly training and advising. they have

significantly dropped from over 100,000 to about 10,000 foreign forces, mostly in the bases. so it is the afghan forces who are facing the fighting of the taliban. so it isa the fighting of the taliban. so it is a big step. it is the first time the taliban are at least saying that they are not attacking afghan security forces. in the past, they used to say there would only engage with americans in the peace talks. they were not recognising the afghan government. this is the first time they are saying they will not engage afg ha n they are saying they will not engage afghan security forces. practically, it isa afghan security forces. practically, it is a big step forward towards peace talks in afghanistan. many thanks. the headlines on bbc news: the queen‘s birthday honours are announced — former liverpool manager kenny dalglish is knighted, and actress emma thompson is made a dame. but there‘s anger too as the chief executive of network rail, mark carne —

is made a cbe. the second and final day of the g7 summit begins — after negotiations failed to resolve divisions over us trade tariffs yesterday. theresa may says the government‘s white paper on its brexit position won‘t be published until after the eu summit at the end of this month. the queen is celebrating her official birthday this morning with the trooping the colour parade. 22—year—old coldstream guardsman, chranpreet singh lall, will become the first to wear a turban during the annual summer spectacle. crowds will be eager to see the duke and duchess of sussex, who married three weeks ago, joining other members of the royal family. joining us now from buckingham palace is our royal correspondent, nicholas witchell. yes, the parade is in full swing on

horse guards. the ranks of the footguards are drawn up. the colour of the 1st battalion, the coldstream guards, is being trooped. we are at the central feature of the whole parade as they start to prepare to trip before the queen. she made her way down from buckingham palace in her small courage, looking intently. —— in her carriage. no signs of the after—effects of that operation a month ago to remove the cataract from one of her eyes. and in one of the other carriages from buckingham palace down to horse guards were the duke and duchess of sussex. three weeks now after their marriage, we assume that they have been away on their honeymoon, back in london. this is their first major formal occasion. we saw harry pointing to some of the features of the parade and as they made their way down the mall, meghan was very interested by all of this. quite what she makes of the ceremony on horse guards, he

will doubtlessly be explaining it all. we can see the racks of the footguards, presenting arms and getting ready for the trooping of the colour with the bands of the guards‘ division. after the parade, which goes on for another 40 minutes, they will make their way back to buckingham palace and that we have the balcony appearance of all the members of the royal family, including some of the younger ones. we can it be to see prince george and princess charlotte. they will be there to watch a fly—past by the raf, 23 aircraft marking the 100th anniversary of the raf this year. that will take place at about one o‘clock. that will be the culmination of this queen‘s birthday parade, the official recognition of her 92nd birthday. nick which are at buckingham palace, thanks very much. at 12.45, we willjoin the bbc one coverage of trooping the colour to

see that fly—past by the raf. but now we fly up to the bbc sport centre. yes, good morning. england‘s women have made a steady start to the first one—day international against south africa in worcester — they won the toss and chose to bat first and they‘re 13 without loss in the fourth over, with amyjones and tammy beaumont opening the batting. it‘s england‘s first match on home soil since they won the world cup... he may be known as king kenny, but from now on, the footballing legend that is kenny daglish can also be called sir kenny after he was knighted in the queen‘s birthday honours list, in recognition of his services to football, charity and the city of liverpool. james burford reports. 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 daglish. his truly was a trophy laden career. 29 major titles as a player, 14 as a manager. so how did he find out the news of his knighthood? a letter came through the door. 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. there we re 1977, celtic was his home. there were titles aplenty in glasgow as well. as a playerfor the were titles aplenty in glasgow as well. as a player for the scottish national party, his record of 102 cats still stands today. dalglish makes it 3—1 and equals a scottish scoring record. it's a great reflection on every part of your

life, when you‘re young and growing up life, when you‘re young and growing up with your mum and dad, the way they set you up and the morals and they set you up and the morals and the ethics and the way to behave like they did. then you move onto own family with footballing family as well. i have come across a lot of great people. dalglish is well versed in hearing his name chanted from the stands. he will have to get used to being known as sir kenny from now on. 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

it‘s a big opportunity, but you never know. i lost three times until now and no one died, so it will be 0k. now and no one died, so it will be ok. but i think i will be more confident because i have a lot of experience. but in tennis, you never know. i will stay chilled. england‘s rugby union head coach, eddiejones, says today‘s first test against south africa, is the perfect development oportunity, for younger players, and a "once—in—a—lifetime opportunity" england haven‘t won a game at ellis park injohannesburg, since 1972, butjones says the pressure, will be good for the newcomers to the squad. it's it‘s great, particularly as we build towards the world cup. this south africa tour is important for us to get experience in high pressure games. and first test is under way.

england‘s women are still 23—1, amy jones the bat woman out. that‘s all the sport for now. now for the weather with alina. for a weekend in june, fora weekend injune, many for a weekend injune, many of us will not fare badly over the next few days. most places will be largely dry, butterfly in the ointment is that there are still heavy and potentially thundery showers in the forecast. a quick look at today‘s pollen levels, very high across much of england and wales save for the far north—east of england, where it is low. — northern ireland and low for most of scotland. for the rest of saturday, heavy and thundery showers. it is scotla nd heavy and thundery showers. it is scotland and northern ireland that will see the heaviest and potentially thundery showers. these blobs of blue and green give you an

idea of the areas which could be affected, bringing a lot of rain in affected, bringing a lot of rain in a short space of time. the met 0ffice warning also extends to northern ireland, and some of the showers could get into cumbria and yorkshire. maybe one or two later in the day across parts of the midlands and east anglia. but most places i‘ve largely dry. still some heavy and thundery showers for the channel islands. they should tend to fade overnight, as will most of the showers elsewhere. many places will be dry with clear spells, but more cloud is creeping back in. temperatures are on a path with last night, coolest across scotland and the north of england. high pressure is generally in charge of our weather through the weekend. but a few features are generating showers, particularly this one in france. the channel islands are in the firing line or showers on sunday. northern ireland should have a better day.

fewer showers around. a few showers for south—west england. 0therwise, most for south—west england. 0therwise, m ost pla ces for south—west england. 0therwise, most places are dry. allow for a few showers across the north of england in the afternoon. feeling very warm in the afternoon. feeling very warm in the sunshine across parts of south—east england and east anglia. we start the new week and a mainly dry note, a lot of sunshine across much of the country. more cloud across scotland, where you have the greatest chance of seeing some showers, but still feeling warm in the sunshine. hello and welcome to dateline, where each week some of the uk‘s best known columnists debate the week‘s big stories with journalists whose dateline is london, as they report those events to the world beyond. this week, theresa may averts the resignation of her brexit negotiatior — but is itjust crisis delayed? as donald trump delights the russians and alienates long standing allies, is it g7 minus one? and the me too movement: has it

moved too far, or not far enough? with me: agnes poirier, who writes for marianne in france; the portuguese academic and journalist eunice goes. yasmin alibhai—brown, political commentator in british newspapers, and maria margaronis, who writes for the nation but also makes time to translate modern greek poetry. iam i am amazed you find the time, good morning to you all, thank you for being with us. for brexiteers, membership of the european union must feel like the gordian knot. two years ago this month, the majority of those voting in a referendum said they wanted to leave. the uk will be out of the union at the end of next march. the biggest problem, though, is how to trade with the eu after the uk has left. new mechanisms are supposed to ensure that goods can cross the border without economically damaging delays; in the case of the land border between northern ireland — out — and the republic of ireland — in — the damage could be political. in december, theresa may, the uk‘s prime minister agreed a fall back position in the absence of customs arrangements acceptable to both sides.

the eu and the uk said northern ireland would have to remain compliant with eu standards. this week, mrs may‘s cabinet colleague, david davis, her chief negotiator with brussels, threatened to quit, if she accepted a back stop without an end date. i hope you are following all of this! she satisfied him but that only served to alienate the eu further. alexander the great, according to legend, didn‘t worry about the niceties involved in untying his knot by negotiation.
