11:01 pm
president trump has departed the g7 summit in canada leaving behind dispute and division as world leaders continue to disagree over global trade. theresa may has welcomed a statement by members of the g7 group of industrial relations which recognises the need to maintain sanctions on moscow. earlier, president trump suggested russia should be readmitted to the group. thejoint uk should be readmitted to the group. the joint uk said the nation were committed to fighting protectionism and would strive for free, fair and mutually beneficial trade. president trump departed the summit early, having been fiercely criticised for defending his decision to impose ta riffs defending his decision to impose tariffs on some imported goods to protect american interests. scarcely 24 protect american interests. scarcely 2a hours after the president arrived ata summit 2a hours after the president arrived at a summit he had thought about skipping altogether, he was off, defiant in the face of a group of world leaders still furious with america's unilateral trade tariffs.
11:02 pm
earlier, he had showed up late great leadership breakfast on gender equality, one of the few areas where there had been hoped for a meeting of minds. ladies and gentlemen, the president of the united states... while officials worked towards a final agreement is all the leaders could sign, the president was sticking to his position, blaming former american leaders for allowing the rest of the world to take advantage of america on trade. it's going to change, 100%. tariffs are going to change, 100%. tariffs are going to change, 100%. tariffs are going to come way down because we people cannot continue to do that. we're like a piggy bank that everybody is robbing, and that ends. but he wasn't the only one looking tough. the german chancellor, angela merkel, clearly didn't hold back posting this photo on her own social media. when she faced the cameras, she said a common statement didn't mean the differences had been taken off the table. translation: for us, it was important that we had a
11:03 pm
commitment to a rule—based trade order, that we continue to fight against protectionism, and that we wa nt to against protectionism, and that we want to reform the world trade organization. a day ago, it seemed possible this summit could end in com plete possible this summit could end in complete chaos, without any agreement at all. but while the differences remain stark and real, a full on confrontation does seem to have been avoided. it is something ofa have been avoided. it is something of a triumph for the host country that in the final moments of the summit, also the nations signed up to the communique. but the canadian prime minister made it clear that ta riffs prime minister made it clear that tariffs on the us would go a head. prime minister made it clear that tariffs on the us would go a headlj have made it very clear to the president that it is not something we relish doing, but it is something that we absolutely will do, because canadians are polite, we are reasonable, but we also will not be pushed around. the final communique talks about fighting protectionism, and ensuring free and mutually beneficial trade. in a nod to the united states, it also talks about looking at a new international rules, to ensure a level playing field. theresa may also said she and other
11:04 pm
leaders had a very frank discussion with president trump about trade. well, we have all been working around the table here at the g7 to achieve the agreements we have achieved, and we have had a very frank discussion with president trump about the issue of trade. and about where we stand, where we all stand, on this trade issue. we want to see free and fair trade around the world. we want to see opportunities being opened up through trade. because the uk certainly believes, as do others here, that it is actually through trade we can develop economies, see countries prosper, that competition is encouraged, but competition drives innovation, and that is to the overall good of people notjust actually very often in the two countries that are trading, but
11:05 pm
often that innovation leads to developments which are of benefit to people more widely. the prime minister also spoke about the threat posed by foreign interference in democratic institutions. foreign interference in our democratic institutions and processes and other forms of malign state activity poses a strategic threats to our shared values and interests. recent events have demonstrated the importance of a unified international response, to send a clear message that such malign activity will never be tolerated. we have agreed a new rapid response mechanism to tackle this growing threat. we have agreed we must maintain the global norm against the use of chemical weapons. and we have agreed to strengthen the ability of the organisation for the prohibition of chemical weapons, to a tribute responsibility for chemical weapons attacks. i also welcome the g7‘s recognition of the need to maintain sanctions on russia in light of russia's failure to
11:06 pm
fully implement the minsk agreements in ukraine. also, at the g7, president trump described his upcoming trip to singapore for a summit with kim jong—un as a "mission of peace." mr trump said he believed the north korean leader was "going to do something positive for his people" and that he was looking forward to the talks. this is probably rarely been done. —— has probably. it is unknown territory, in the truest sense. but i really feel confident, ifeel that kim jong—un wants to do something great for his people, and he has that opportunity, and he won't have that opportunity, and he won't have that opportunity, and he won't have that opportunity again. it is never going to be there again. so i've really believe that he is going to do something very positive for his people, for himself, his family. he has 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,
11:07 pm
with those great people, and truly make it great. so it is a one—time. .. make it great. so it is a one—time... it is a one—time shot, andi one—time... it is a one—time shot, and i think it's going to work out very well. that is why i feel positive, because it makes so much sense. 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 carn, the boss of network rail, has been made a cbe in the same week that his organisation's been severely criticised. joe lynam reports. protesters on the march in the lake district. there have been no trains to windermere for a week, and locals fear the damage caused to the tourist industry. it's a local issue caused by a wider shake—up of timetables in england. so what do they feel about the boss of network rail getting a cbe? itjust makes a mockery of the whole awards system, you know, it's something that... i'm a brit, i like to believe in that kind of thing, that the people who get them have done something to deserve it, but actually this is not what you've
11:08 pm
done, it's who you know. whoever the queen and the government give honours to is not my concern. i've no words! what can i say?! hello, everybody. this is a really exciting time to be a part of the railway... the man at the centre of this, mark carne, was not talking about his gong today, but others were. i think passengers who've 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're not misdirected into thinking that 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 seen disruption in recent weeks, as a new timetable is bedded down.
11:09 pm
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. earlier i spoke to nigel harris, managing editor of rail magazine, about the controversy over mark carne's cbe. he told me network rail are not the only ones to blame for the delays and cancellations. to blame mark carne for everyone that has gone wrong, it is a bit like blaming heathrow airport when easyjet go wrong. there has been a wholesale letdown of the travelling public by everybody here. in a major way, by the government, which is not admitting it. let me give you a simplistic view. to blame mark carne for everyone that has gone wrong, it is a bit like blaming heathrow airport when easyjet go wrong. everybody has let the travelling public down, and until everybody
11:10 pm
is honest about it, we will not get that trust back, and the government is not being honest. stripping franchises for resignations, it satisfies the headline writer of the daily mail or people's desire for blood, and i understand that, and it solves nothing. we can't magic trains out of thin air. for example, network rail did screw up in the north with the electrification of the line at bolton, they are responsible for that, excuse me, and they have held their hands up for it. but in scotland the late delivery of new trains for scotland has prevented what is called a cascade of diesel units, which were due to go to northern, so these trains have not appeared. now, you can't blame network railfor that, nor can you get a magic wand to make all the trains appear. what we need is a period of cool reflection, get some stability into the timetables, then start phasing things through to get the increase in surfaces which this is all about.
11:11 pm
how much better or worse with the situation be the railways were re—nationalised, which some will continue to argue for? network rail is nationalised, so if you go along with a view that it is their fault, the nationalised railway is to blame. the government, in its decision—making, and it's late decision making for thameslink, for example it delayed a decision on producing their timetable for five months until november. they needed the timetable ready, so they lost five months, had to rip it up. while it is true that network rail did not deliver the timetable on time, the five—month delay in the government decision was what lay behind it. if you go along with the view that government decisions have caused a problem, how is it going to make it better to hand the whole lot over to the people who delayed the decisions? nigel harris from rail magazine.
11:12 pm
well, the birthday honours list has recognises the achievements of more than 1,000 other people across the uk. among them, the former liverpool manager kenny dalglish who received a knighthood. emma thompson, the oscar—winning actor, has been appointed a dame. lizo mzimba has more. commentator: kenny daglish! 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 was being 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, and businesswoman jo malone, for services to the british economy.

nicholas witchell has been following the day's events. three weeks to the day since their wedding, and harry and meghan, the duke and duchess of sussex, were once again taking a carriage ride in bright sunshine, this time as part of the queen's birthday parade, trooping the colour, as it is better known. with the duke of edinburgh's retirement, the queen road in the carriage alone to the horse guards parade, and the annual demonstration of parade ground precision by the five regiments of foot guards. no eye on the parade ground has more experience of this event than the queen's. she first attended it in 1947, and notwithstanding the operation a month ago to remove a cataract, the queen's gaze appeared as sharp as ever as the colour of the first battalion, the coldstream guards, was tripped. —— trooped. the

singh lal, who became the first person to wear a turban during the trooping the colour ceremony. earlier i spoke to jay singh—sohal, writer, filmmaker and chairman of the world war one sikh memorial about how it could inspire the sikh community. it will be inspiring for notjust the sikh community but the wider community to see who somebody‘s faith is so important to them and they are able to progress and ca ptu re they are able to progress and capture everybody‘s attention at such an occasion in britain. what it means and what it does certainly shows a younger generation that anything is possible and living at her majesty's armed forces, any career 01’ her majesty's armed forces, any career or anything you would want to achieve which the armed forces can enable you to, is certainly something within your grasp. all it ta kes something within your grasp. all it takes is talent and dedication and he has shown great enthusiasm and dedication in getting where he had got to. the headlines on bbc news — theresa may admits members of the g7
