this is bbc news — our latest headlines. 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. but there's anger too as the chief executive of network rail, mark carne — is made a cbe — despite the recent chaos on the railways. the second and final day of the g7 summit begins — in quebec in canada, after negotiations failed to resolve divisions over us trade tariffs yesterday. speaking in quebec theresa may said the government ‘s white paper on its brexit position won't be published until after the eu summit until after the eu summit at the end of this month. this is the scene on the balcony

outside buckingham palace after trooping the colour as her majesty celebrates the 92nd official birthday today. she is waiting for the raf fly past which will take place. joining her on the balcony, the duke and duchess of sussex and other members of the royal family. we will be live back at buckingham palace just before quarter to one. before that click, and right now the sports news with mike. good afternoon, they may be world champions but england's women in the cricket are struggling in the first one—day international against south africa at worcester. they lost the toss and chose to bat first, amy jones went first 19 and she is the top with sarah taylor, heather knight and natalie sciver falling cheaply. 69—6 at the moment after 23

overs. it is their first match on home soil since they won the world cup if year ago but they are not looking like world champions right 110w. looking like world champions right now. in sydney six nations championship ireland playing australia in sydney on the opening match of the summer tour and looking strong. they are leading now. johnny sexton kicking them in front in a very tight match, they are 28 minutes from the end and australia are one man down, one man has been sent to the sin bin. last time ireland beat australia on the own turf was in 1979. can they hold on to make history in the next 20 minutes? england head coach eddie jones says today's first test against south africa is the perfect development chance for younger players and a once—in—a—lifetime chance. england haven't won a game atjohannesburg since 1972 but eddie jones says the pressure will be good for the newcomers to the squad. it's

great for us particularly as we build towards the world cup, this tour is so important, the young guys, they will get great experience in high—pressure games. guys, they will get great experience in high-pressure games. he may be known as king kenny but from now on footballing legend kenny dalglish will be sir kenny after receiving a knighthood in the queens birthday honours list in recognition of his services to charity and to the city of liverpool. this special report. and liverpool fc and kenny dalglish have become only the third team this century to win the first division championship and the fa cup. 1986 was a famously of the kenny dalglish, this 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 that came through the door! and i didn't

open it, i looked at it, it was brown and i thought another tax bill! perhaps it is anfield where he is most fondly thought of that before he arrived in 1977 celtic was his home and there were many titles in glasgow as well, playing for the scottish national team his record of 102 caps still stands today. commentator: is equalled his record! and is a great reflection on every pa rt and is a great reflection on every part of your life for when you're growing up with your thumb mum and your dad, growing up with your thumb mum and yourdad, —— growing up with your thumb mum and your dad, —— with your mum added out, the morals of the ethics and the way to behave that they give you and then you move your own family through the footballing family as well. i've just been fortunate that i've come across a lot of great people. he is well versed in hearing his name chanted from the stands. he will have to get used to being known

as kenny from —as — as sir kenny from now on. simona halep has for the chance to win a grand slam title chasing the american sloane stephens. it's a great chance but i lost three times until now and no one died! it will be ok but i think i will be more confident because i have a lot of experience but you never know so i will stay chilled. that's coming later today. your up—to—date with the sport, now it's time for click. the new adidas telstar 18.

i wanted to find out what goes into the design behind this, so i've come to loughborough university to find out. this year's design is a model re—version of the iconic adidas ball from the 1970 world cup, the telstar. but if you thought this was a case of aesthetics, think again. loughborough university have been researching for adidas for almost 20 years, and their rigorous testing facilities offer findings on how the ball moves and reacts in different situations. hi, andy. hi, kat. first up, the team use roboleg to recreate the kicks players make over and over again at different speeds and powers. we have a compromise here between the fluidity and the flexibility of a human player and the repeatability of a machine. it needs to be a robot because even the best player in the world cannot kick a ball the same twice. yeah. so if we want to understand how a ball‘s going to respond to a particular kick,

we need the robot. let's see it in action then. i'm intrigued already that the foot seems to be in front of the ball. three, two, one... woah! ok, so it's fast. so, from our point of view, it would be understanding how long the boot is in contact with the ball, how the ball deforms, how it stores the energy, how it recovers that energy, and then that results in this sort of forward velocity and the spin that's imparted onto the ball into its flight. but what we've just seen on the roboleg really has to make sense in terms of the players. and so, capturing what a player does when they kick a ball in a lot of detail, to give us the inputs that we need to control the kicking leg is absolutely vital. so down here, we have a motion capture space where we can actually capture a player kicking a ball in all the detail that we need. as well as robotic legs and motion capture technology, the team here work on computer

simulations of footballs to try and figure out how they will respond before they're physically made. we are simulating certain aspects of the ball. in this particular case, it's the mechanical properties of the ball, it's the way that it deforms under different kicks or collisions against different surfaces. perhaps modelling the flight might be possible at some point in the future, but, for now, the way we do that is to look in the wind tunnel and actually do experimental aerodynamic studies on real prototype balls. if i first show you something of the scale of what's involved in a tunnel like this. so, if we come outside, and you get a sense of the scale. so this is the air inlet, and then expelled out through this vent here to pass the air over at the sorts of speeds that the player will kick at. wow, i was not expecting this. two goalkeepers who have played friendlies with the new telstar 18 have already complained about the design.

spain's david de gea said it was "strange," and his teammate, pepe reina, called for it to be changed. whether the world cup is the right time to focus on technological changes has been suggested, when players just want to perform at the top of their game. whether fans have anything to say about it will be seen when games start on the 14th. that was kat. 0k, ball done! but it's not just about what we kick. like many sports these days, data and technology are seeping into every element of the game. now, fifa has been notoriously slow at allowing technology into football, but this will be the first world cup where teams are given tablets to access data and analytics in—game. does that mean the data analysts will become the new star players? well, we sent paul carter to fifa to find out. at this year's world cup finals in russia, data is set to play

a bigger role than ever before. like it or not, data is already an integral part of modern football. you can't watch a televised game without being bombarded by all kinds of statistics. for the first time, fifa are providing an all—in—one technical package allowing coaching staff and analysts to communicate throughout matches in real—time. the snappily titled electronic performance and tracking system — epts — will provide data on player metrics, such as distances run, speed and positional information.

crucially, each of the 32 countries competing in the tournament will be provided with two tablets. one for a data analyst in the stands, who'll be able to communicate with the second device user on the bench, possibly a coach or assistant manager. we're using an optical tracking system. so we have optical tracking cameras in all of the stadiums. we know where the players and the ball are at any time of the match. we have different metrics available to the analysts, and it's up to them to decide how they want to use it. with resources available for technology differing between countries, fifa hopes this technology will bridge the data divide. a lot of the teams already use data. we're expecting a lot of the teams coming to russia to bring their own setup. but we want to at least offer the same to all of the teams. in fifa's system, the teams' data analysts will have access to a tactical app, enabling them to add drawings over a live video feed. stills can then be sent to the dugout. with goalline technology, video assistant referees, and now etps, this year's world cup looks set to be the most technologically advanced ever. but with the technology, how big is the risk that we lose the real spirit of the game?

the role of the data analyst is simplyjust to again support those coaching decisions. i think there are some key insights they can be found in the data. but the football will always be those 22 players on the pitch, and the coach is always going to be the person making the decisions. at the end, what technology really is for is only to support. but at the end, you're a big football fan, i'm a big football fan, at the end, the 22 players plus the referee, they are the main actors. 90 minutes, maybe penalty shootout, germany— england maybe! so that's the excitement. i think technology can only add additional help, optimise processes, optimise or providing additional information, that's what technology is about. well, i'm certainly nowhere near ready to head to a football pitch, i need some sort of training first. but luckily we've come across this robotic leg which aims to help. but i can see what

the first problem is. this ur3 robot, originally built forfactory work, has already got its footy boot on. the idea is it can repeat a human's movement so they can be watched back and learned from, or it could be copying and teaching the kick of a star player from anywhere in the world. so here we have the setup. a kinect which will track the human's movements, and then the robot should be able to replicate them, and, of course, we've a goal, and we couldn't do it without one of these. that's the theory anyway, but it didn't gauge the angle of my foot very well, and even i know you're not meant to kick the ball with your toes. but i did still need a little help from a human expert to understand what else it was suggesting i did wrong. if we look closer to the robotic legs, we can... the leg, we can see that ankle here is very flexible. so it's actually copying every movement you were doing.

so the first problem you've got is, when you're kicking a football, you have to open your arch. i followed the advice, it went for the right point of the net, i'm almost a professional! i've made it to an actual football pitch, albeit a five—a—side one, and i'm joined by the click team. what do you think of our kits? good, aren't they? so i need to do a bit more practice. they're kicking the ball around the old —fashioned way, but i've a smart football here, and i've got an app with some augmented reality built in. i've never done this before in my entire life. how am i meant to to speed it up? 0k, toe—taps. dribbleup runs you through drills and training suitable for your ability. after placing the football in position, the app will scan it, then track

and assess your every move. it's all gone red, i think i'm doing it wrong. i'm sure this isn't playing footbal! i've never seen anyone train for football like this before! strangely, it didn't seem to think i'd done too badly. i'm assuming these grades are just for trying hard, because clearly i was absolutely ridiculous. it was quite fun, but i'm not sure that i actually really exercised any
