jermain defoe. taliban fighters have killed at least 65 afghan soldiers, despite declaring a ceasefire for the muslim holiday of eid. and, a spectacular display for the queen's 92nd birthday... crowds of spectators gather to watch the trooping of colour parade, with the duke and duchess of sussex joining the queen on the balcony at buckingham palace. good evening and welcome to bbc news. president trump has left the g7 summit in canada, insisting talks had been "extremely productive", despite sharp differences over his decision to impose tariffs
6:03 pm
on some imported goods. many leaders were furious over the move, which he said was necessary to protect us interests, but it's sparked concerns of a global trade war. mr trump left the summit early, ahead of his landmark meeting with north korea's leader kim jong—un. from quebec, gary o'donoghue reports. ladies and gentlemen, the president of the united states... not quite the grand entry the president is used to, but with the us isolated from many of its closest allies on trade, donald trump knew he'd be facing questions about america's new tariffs, and he showed little sign that any kind of compromise had been reached. it's going to change, 100%, and tariffs are going to come way down, because we people cannot continue to do that, we're like the piggy bank that everybody's robbing, and that ends. earlier, he'd showed up late for a leaders' breakfast on gender equality —
6:04 pm
one of the few areas where there'd been hope for some kind of meeting of minds at this summit. g7 officials are still trying to work out whether there is a form of words all seven countries can sign up to, and there are hopes that fresh discussions between the us and the eu can restart in the next two weeks. the french president was one of those leaders who got a face—to—face meeting with president trump — the two men enjoying a cordial, if not close relationship up till recently. but the tariffs have upset the french too, though president macron was clearly holding on tight to the hope that the rifts could be repaired. the smiles and handshakes are all there, but under the surface there are still real differences between the us and the other members of the g7. and that is notjust on trade — it's on a whole range of international global issues. donald trump considered skipping this summit entirely,
6:05 pm
and clearly his mind has been much more focused on his next stop — singapore, when he comes face to face with north korea's leader. gary o'donoghue, bbc news, quebec. joining me now from quebec is our chief political correspondent, vicki young. donald trump, the last to arrive here in the first to leave. he surprised a lot of the other leaders by saying as he left here that actually the talks on trade had been extremely productive, and surprised them by coming up with this idea of a tariff free zone. amongst the g7, no one very sure how that might work. but certainly the reports of the meetings on trade, described by one official bike as choppy, as
6:06 pm
donald trump went around the room pointing at each leader, laying out the trade deficit and the tariffs that they have with those country, the counterargument from the european leaders, is that there is this very large strong trading relationship between the us and the eu, if anything was done to hamper or hinder, that will cost people jobs. in the end, the message for people like theresa may is this will make people poorer. she is urging both sides to draw back from a full—blown trade war. but as the president left, he very much looked ahead to his, what is going on in singapore. it will take him a long time to get her, but he had this to say about the prospects of the deal with the north korean leader. this is probably rarely been done. it is unknown territory in the truest 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's never going to be there again, so i really believed
6:07 pm
that he is going to do something very positive for his people, for himself, his family, he's got an opportunity the likes of which i think, 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's a one—time, a one—time shot, and i think it would work out very well. that's why i feel positive, because it makes so much sense. cell in the coming days, all eyes will be on singapore. i think from the british point of view, they will be looking toward donald trump visit to the uk injuly, to get the relationship back on even keel. the prime minister did not have a one—on—one meeting with the
6:08 pm
president. neither did many of the other leaders. that meeting, that visit injuly other leaders. that meeting, that visit in july will other leaders. that meeting, that visit injuly will be crucial to see the uk - us visit injuly will be crucial to see the uk — us relationship will go. the queen's birthday honours list has been unveiled, recognising those who've undertaken outstanding work in their communities. alongside the celebrations there has been some controversy. mark carne, the boss of network rail has been made a cbe in the same week that his organisation's been severely criticised. joe lynam reports. what do they feel about the boss of network rail getting a cde? young it makes a mockery of the whole ward system. i like to believe in a kind of thing and the people who get them have done something to deserve it
6:09 pm
but this is not what you have done it is who you know. who ever the government give honest it is not my concern. government give honest it is not my concern. what can i say? hello everybody. this is a really exciting time to be part of the railway. the man at the centre of this was not talking about his gong today, but others are. i think packagers who has suffered disruption this week will be incredulous, possibly furious to see him being awarded a cbe. but i think it is really important to that we are not misdirected into thinking that the problems with the new introduction are all down to network rail. network well defended it, and say they should look at his entire career and his contribution to the railways. here a kings cross station, some services for passengers has seen disruption in
6:10 pm
recent weeks, as the new timetable is bedded down. things are improving, but some commuters may feel this public reward for the boss of network rail may be a bit premature, even if he has noted many yea rs of premature, even if he has noted many years of service to the railway industry. well the queen's birthday honours list recognises the achievements of more than a thousand people across the uk. among them, the former liverpool manager kenny dalglish who received a knighthood. lizo mzimba has more. 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 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,

presents and stuff like that, which we do ata presents and stuff like that, which we do at a football club. the headlines on bbc news: chief executive of network rail, despite chaos in the railways. taliban soldiers have killed at least 55, despite the cease—fire. 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 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.
6:16 pm
afghanistan had eight war and peace, with this quite big number of security forces killed across the country, and for major attacks, followed by telegram surprising and quite unexpected announcement of three date cease—fire, i now think they will halt or in the attacks on afg ha n they will halt or in the attacks on afghan security forces. this is celebrated, hailed very high here on the ground, with locals who are suffering violence every day across the country, because this is the first time the group has been fighting the us backs government for the past 17 years nonstop. this is the past 17 years nonstop. this is the very first practical measure, the very first practical measure, the very first gesture, towards any reduction of violence or peace
6:17 pm
talks, with the afghan government. do we know how this was achieved? what sort of work was put into us arriving at this point? it is not just an ordinary announcement or maybe just a holiday announcement, this, in the mass nine days, we have been following quite some big developments towards what is happening today. top american, and afghanistan announced last week that afg ha n afghanistan announced last week that afghan security, afghan officials have managed to hold talks with mid—to high—level taliban officials, about peace talks and that was followed by a grand governing of afghanistan religious clergy, and quite seriously and directly called on the taliban to stop fighting, which was followed by last thursday
6:18 pm
afg ha n which was followed by last thursday afghan government, a week—long cease—fire that would be triggered on the 12th ofjune. the afghan government cease—fire says it will not attack taliban forces, but they will continue to attack it as an foreign militants in the country and the taliban also says it will continue to attack international forces, although the small numbers, they have emphasised they will attack and in fact, it is the first time they are addressing the forces as internal opposition, and in the past, they used to call them the puppet regime, so this is, we see a soft tone and a very practical measure, all they're very small, there may be some developments for all this. just very quickly, i want to ask you, will all the actors in the region, in the country,
6:19 pm
neighbouring countries, will they all be happy with this development? the neighbouring countries, in the past few months, there have been some talks going on outside of afghanistan. saudi have been behind some talks and is expected that early next month, it will be another big event on peace talks in afghanistan, so definitely, the countries, pakistan, iran, and russia have some sort of stake in the conflict, and obviously, afghanistan, being located in an imported geopolitical location, it appears that the piece with the taliban and will be for the better of the country and neighbours of afghanistan who have some sort of sta ke afghanistan who have some sort of stake in the current conflict. theresa may has said the government's white paper

6:21 pm
leaders at the end of this month. we have been told that at that summit, we will likely, or sometime before, get a white paper from the government, a proposal, outlining how it saw the future relationship that it would have with the european union will stop we now learned from mrs may that it is not going to come out and what is more, although swirling problems that have been illustrated by borisjohnson and david davis, she has to try and sort all of this out at and away, at checkers, that premise to retreat in the countryside, behind those doors, but it will not be in time for that meeting of the eu leaders. theresa may determined she is getting ahead of the agenda. people like boris have strong views on brexit, but so do it. i want to deliver brexit for the people. that is what they want and i'm going to get on doing it. the people. that is what they want and i'm going to get on doing it] times can we get to this position where you have to have these clashes on your own side? at every stage of
6:22 pm
these negotiations, we have seen people casting doubt on whether or not we could achieve what we want to achieve. we are not 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 going to be another easy week for the prime minister. on tuesday, the brexit bill, to withdraw from the eu legislation returns to the commons. when it was away in the house of lords, 15th amendment got made to it. the government has now got to see how many of those it can unpick in the commons, it has made concessions on one thus far, and there could be some difficult nervous boats. we note the chief whip, the rallying mp for discipline in the party has told the conservatives did not go far from the parliamentary estate. they are going to be needed for votes. but all of this i think now, eyes will perhaps be look at, once they get beyond that, to the summit in a
