of the royal family have taken part in her official birthday celebrations, during which they saw a fly—past by the royal air force. good afternoon and welcome to bbc news. president trump has described the g—7 summit in canada as "very successful". he said there'd been productive discussions, on his demand for what he called fair and reciprocal trade. the summit has been dominated by tension over mr trump's decision to impose new tarrifs on other g—7 nations. our chief political correspondent, vicki young is at the summit in quebec. it has been one of the more tense affairs in summits of this kind, and as you say, that is because of this issue of trade and donald trump's decision to put tariffs on steel and aluminium imports has caused a lot of disconcernation among
5:02 pm
the eu leaders, who just the end, it is going to lead to everyone being poorer. what they're trying to avoid is an all—out trade war. the message from the uk prime minister, theresa may, to donald trump, was really to say pull—back from this. focus on china and they're very cheap imports. do not take it out on everyone else. well, just before he left, donald trump did take questions from journalists. his message really to the leaders here and to everyone else is to say that he believes that the us has been taken advantage of for years. i blame our past leaders. there was no reason that this should have happened. last year, they lost 800... we as a nation, over the years, but the latest numbers, $817 billion on trade. that's ridiculous and it's unacceptable. everybody was told that.
5:03 pm
so i don't blame them. i blame our leaders. in fact, i congratulate the leaders of other countries for so crazily being able to make these trade deals that were so good for their country and so bad for the united states. but those days are over. interestingly, donald trump is also put forward the suggestion of a tariff free zone across the g7, so effectively, the eu, alongside canada and japan. it has to be said, that no one is entirely clear how this could possibly work, as some people pointing out the irony that he is suggesting this tariff free zone just as he slaps tariffs on those other countries. the thing now is going to be the retaliation from the eu. they are suggesting this £2.5 billion package of tariff retaliation. theresa may's message is to the eu is we need to make this proportionate.
5:04 pm
everyone really trying to pull back from the brink on all of this, but it has not been the only source of tension at this summit. tension, too, about russia and mr trump's suggestion that russia should be allowed back in to what was the g—8. other countries saying that is fine, but russia was kicked out for a reason. they really have to change their ways before they are allowed back in. the queen's birthday honours list has been unveiled and it's generated some controversy. the boss of network rail, mark carne, has been made a cbe in the same week that network rail itself was criticised for railway disruption. some have called mr carne's honour, a ‘slap in the face', passengers have faced delays and cancellations since an overhaul of train timetables three weeks ago. joe lynam reports. it's been a bit of a shambles, really. it's just been a nightmare. we were just stuck because there were so many northern trains just sat at platforms because they had no drivers. take the train to work everyday?
5:05 pm
you'll be aware of some of the issues over the past fortnight. thousands of trains cancelled or delayed. innumerable journeys ruined. and all because of new timetables from network rail. hello, everybody. this is a really exciting time to be a part of the railway... and now mark carne has been rewarded for his services to the rail industry with a cbe. he's not talking about his gong today, but others are. i think passengers who have suffered enormous disruption this week will be incredulous, possibly furious, to see mark carne being awarded a cbe. but i think it's really important that we are not misdirected into thinking the problems with the introduction of the new timetable are all down to network rail. network rail defended the gong and said people should look at mr carne's entire career, and his tremendous contribution to the railways. here at king's cross station, some services for thameslink and great northern passengers have
5:06 pm
seen disruption in recent weeks, as a new timetable is bedded down. things are improving, but some commuters may feel that this public reward for the boss of network rail might be a bit premature, even if he has devoted many years of service to the railway industry. joe lynam, bbc news. people across the uk. among those to be recognised was the former liverpool manager kenny dalglish, who received a knighthood. emma thompson, the oscar—winning actor, has been appointed a dame. lizo mzimba reports. commentator: dalglish! player, manager and a figure who gave huge support to the hillsborough families, kenny dalglish says he's hugely proud to receive a knighthood. to get this far and to come out and get the accolade i've been awarded is very humbling. imagine your husband bought a gold
5:07 pm
necklace and come christmas, gave it to somebody else. oscar—winning actress and writer emma thompson becomes a dame for services to drama. 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 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. 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 for 17 years. the militants said foreign forces would be excluded from the ceasefire. violence in the country
5:08 pm
has continued today, with more than 65 members of the security forces killed in taliban attacks. our correspondent sho—eib sharifi is following developments from kabul. afghanistan had a war and peace start today with a big number of security forces killed. that is followed by the taliban's unexpected announcement of a three—day ceasefire. halting attacks on afghan security forces. this is hailed on the ground from locals who are suffering violence every day because this is the first time the group that has been fighting for the last 17 years, this is the very first practical measure, the very first gesture towards any peace talks
5:09 pm
with the afghan government. do we know how this was achieved? what work was put in to arrive at this point? it is notjust an ordinary announcement. or notjust a eid holiday announcement. this followed... in the last nine days we have been following some big developments towards what is happening today. the top american general in afghanistan announced last week that afghan officials have managed to hold talks with mid to high—level taliban officials, about peace talks, and that was followed by a grand gathering of afghanistan's religious clergy in the capital, kabul, which called on taliban and the afghan government to stop fighting.
5:10 pm
which was followed by last thursday's afghan government, a week—long ceasefire which will be triggered on the 12th ofjune. the afghan government's ceasefire conditions, it will not attack taliban forces but they will continue to attack is and foreign militants in the country. the taliban also says they will continue to attack international forces, although small numbers, they have emphasised. in fact this is the first time they are talking about afghan forces as the internal opposition, because in the past they used to call them the puppet regime soldiers, but this is a soft tone and a very practical measure, although very small. it looks like there may be some developments followed by this. very quickly.
5:11 pm
will all the actors in the country and the neighbouring countries, will they be happy with this development? the neighbouring countries in the past few months, there have been efforts going on outside afghanistan. the uae and saudi have been behind some talks and it is expected early next month there will be another big event on peace talks. so definitely the countries, pakistan, iran and russia, they have some sort of stake in the afghan conflict, and clearly afghanistan being located in an important geopolitical location, it appears a peace deal with the taliban will be better for the immediate neighbours of afghanistan that have some sort of stake in the current conflict.

a man has appeared in court, charged with the manslaughter and robbery of a ioo—year—old woman, whose neck was broken when she was mugged. zofija kacznn died nine days after she was pushed to the ground and her bag stolen in derby. 39—year—old arthur waszkiewicz has been remanded in custody and will appear at derby crown court next month. 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. 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 a report by the daily telegraph newspaper,

5:14 pm
brexit secretary, thursday rather, he might resign if he did not get what he wanted. that seems to get sorted for theresa may for her to giovanna plane, and by the time she had landed in canada, to discover a recording had emerged a boris johnson, deriding that the state of the talks, suggesting it could be heading for meltdown. all this of course had been building up and building up to a summit, it eu leaders at the end of this month. we had been told that at the summit, we would likely or sometime before, get a white paper from the government, would likely or sometime before, get a white paperfrom the government, a proposal, a document, outlining how it saw the future relationship that it saw the future relationship that it would have with the european union. we don't learn from mrs may thatis union. we don't learn from mrs may that is not going to come out and what is more, all the swirling problems that had been illustrated by borisjohnson problems that had been illustrated by boris johnson and problems that had been illustrated by borisjohnson and david davis this week, she is going to try and sort all this out at in a way day it checkers, the retreat in the countryside, behind closed doors to
5:15 pm
try to press this out. but it will not be in time for the meeting. theresa may, determined that she is getting ahead of the agenda. people like boris have strong views on brexit, but so do it. that is what people want. i am getting on doing it. how mccain can get this position where we have to have these clashes oi'i where we have to have these clashes on your own side? at every stage of 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. what is coming up future relationship. what is coming up this week? is not necessarily going to be another easy week. on tuesday, the brexit bill, to withdraw from the eu, legislation returns to the commons. when it was away and now is in the house of lords, 15 amendments got made to it. the government has now got to try and see how many of those it can't
5:16 pm
unpick in the commons will stop it has made concessions on one thus far, there could be said difficult nervous votes. we note the chief whip, the rallying mp for discipline in the party was told the conservatives did not go far from the parliamentary estate this week. they are clearly going to be needed for votes. but all of this i think now, eyes will be looking, once they get beyond that to the summit in a couple of weeks' time in brussels, and really, that way day afterwards, it really has the difficulties this week, never mind those underlined, and the clock is ticking. by october, all this will be done. our future relationship figured out, and put the parliament. for them to sign off their side of the deal as well. the pressure clearly building, because we have not got this white paper yet, and we are not going to get it soon. the headlines on bbc news: donald trump leaves the g7 summit, saying the us wants fair

5:18 pm
appeared, with the queen's birthday parade, writing in the carriage from buckingham palace down to horse guards, taking in the sunshine and enjoying the crowd. followed a few months later by the queen, writing alone in her carriage, for at this annual parade. the marking of her 92nd birthday, a few weeks ago. the parade went smoothly, a display of precision and skill by the cards on or scars. and then as they returned to buckingham palace, just as the queen putt carriage was entering the palace, one of the senior officers on horseback riding just behind her, the kernel of the lifeguards, he fell from his horse will stop he is now receiving hospital attention. the balcony appearance went ahead, a large number of the members of the royalfamily, including large number of the members of the royal family, including its large number of the members of the royalfamily, including its younger members. prince george and princess charlotte appeared on the balcony to watch i find it, marking its 100th

5:20 pm
positive for his people' and that he was looking forward to the talks. this is probably rarely been done. it is unknown territory in a sense. but i really feel confident, i feel that kim jong—un wants to do something great for his people and he has the opportunity and he will not have the opportunity again. it is never going to be there again. i really believe that he is going to do something very positive for his people, for his self, for his family, he has got an opportunity, the likes of which almost, if you look into history, very few people have ever had. he can take that nation, with those great people, and truly make it great. so it is a one—time, a one—time shot. i think it is going to work out. very well.
5:21 pm
that is why i feel positive, because it makes so much sense. well the world's media have already started to descend on singapore, ahead of the talks. hotels are booked out, and security is on high alert. both leaders are expected to bring big delegations, and singapore has said it, will foot the bill for the summit‘s security. karishma vaswani takes a look at the cost for world peace. this is why most tourists come to singapore putt resort island of sa nta singapore putt resort island of santa rosa. it is known as the island of peace and tranquility, but next week, it will host of the most volatile leaders on the planet. donald trump and kim jong—un. volatile leaders on the planet. donald trump and kimjong—un. this is where the summit is going to be held. you can see why this hotel has been chosen as the menu. it is sealed off, isolated and tucked away from the rest of the island. the perfect spot for the summit of the century. but at $500 a night, it is
5:22 pm
not cheap, and this is just for the summit venue. imagine the total bill. and then there is the media madness. 2500 journalists dissenting on singapore for the event, american television networks are flying out of d oze ns television networks are flying out of dozens of staff to cover it. we will leave it in for all of our platforms. cbs, our morning show, digital platform, and anything associated on the web. it will be quite busy for us. it is a logistical nightmare. many of singapore putt busiest spots will be affected. data this is the oxford street of singapore. the main shopping district where tourists generally come. police have told us they will be securing some parts of this area for the summit, and they will have the power to conduct searches and spot checks on anyone if they want to. copping the bill
5:23 pm
for security and it is very high level security. people in the sky, people on the streets, in the water and everywhere. it is 2a seven. people on the streets, in the water and everywhere. it is 24 seven. for the south korean community, that is money well spent. they are excited about the prospect of hope for their homeland. how exciting? so so happy news for us. but nobody knows, but we hope the best of the best week. there is a sense of exciting about the summit, concerns that maybe everything will not go to plan. which is why for many here, the high cost of hosting this event may well be worth a shot at peace. guatemala has asked for more aid from the international community after the volcanic eruption, which has claimed more than 100 lives.
