a warm reception for tyson fury, as he makes a successful comeback in manchester against the less—than—testing sefer seferi, who quit after 4 rounds. and alina jenkins has the weather. most of us are going to have a dry day, some warm spells of sunshine but like yesterday there is a chance we could see thunderstorms. i will tell you all about it in the next 15 minute. —— minutes. good morning. first, our main story. president trump has accused the canadian prime ministerjustin trudeau of being "dishonest and weak" after the g7 summit ended with world leaders divided. ajoint statement was released vowing to fight the us‘s decision to impose trade tariffs. mr trudeau claimed there had been a consensus, among all those taking part, to fight protectionism. from quebec, our correspondent gary o'donoghue reports. scarcely 2a hours after the president arrived at a summit he had thought about skipping altogether, he was off, defiant in the face of a clutch of world leaders still furious with america's unilateral trade tariffs.
7:02 am
the warning signs came early when the president showed up late for a leader's breakfast on gender equality, one of the few areas where there had been hope of a meeting of minds. while officials worked towards a final agreement all the leaders could sign up to, 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 come way down because we people can't continue to do that. we're like a piggy bank that everybody‘s robbing, and that ends. and it was clear the president didn't much like how he was being spoken to. a moment captured in this photograph, later posted on social media by the german chancellor herself. but when she faced the cameras, she said a common statement didn't mean the differences had been taken off the table. but it was the words of the canadian prime minister, justin trudeau, who announced he had
7:03 am
got all seven countries to sign up to the final agreement, that seems to have tipped the president over the edge. i 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, reasonable but we also will not be pushed around. that led to a barrage of tweets from the president, on board air force one itself. in one he said: they worked hard to avoid this kind of meltdown ang they thought they had done just that. —— and. but in the space of two or three tweets, the divisions between these supposed allies are now as deep as ever. donald trump is due to land in singapore later ahead of an historic meeting with the north korean leader kim jong—un. it'll be the first time top—level talks have been held between the two countries following years of hostility over north korea's
7:04 am
pursuit of nuclear weapons and its record on human rights. the millionaire brexit campaigner arron banks has confirmed he will appear before mps this week to answer new allegations about his links with russia. it's being reported in the sundy times newspaper that he had more meetings with russian officials than previously disclosed. the allegations have raised fresh questions about whether the kremlin sought to influence the outcome of the eu referendum in 2016. our political correspondent susana mendonca is in our london newsroom this morning. susana, how have the allegations played out on the front pages of the papers this morning? give us an overview of exactly what is being said. this is a sunday times investigation, saying that aaron banks had three meetings with the russian ambassador —— ambassador to britain and there were e—mails obtained by the sunday times journalist isabel oakeshott and it is alleged he potentially discussed
7:05 am
business deals. in his own book on brexit, he only said that he met with the russian ambassador once. why is this important? well, he is a former, the biggest donor to old man of hoy, the biggest campaign group that supported leaving the eu during the referendum campaign. it was very influential. so the culture and media committee has wanted to speak to vista banks at our best. it wasn't clear whether he was going to give and now it appears he will be giving evidence on tuesday. he has described this as two boozy lunches and has called this a political witch—hunt. and has called this a political witch-hunt. thank you very much indeed. a man in his 30s has died after being stabbed in north london. it happened near turnpike lane tube station in haringey. police have launched a murder investigation, the 74th in the capital so far this year. the labour leader, jeremy corbyn, will announce new proposals
7:06 am
to ensure all hospitality workers receive 100% of their tips if his party comes to power. he'll call on the owners of restaurants and bars to stop taking a cut from the money given to staff by customers. he claims any eventual changes could affect around 2 million people across the uk. lian will have the weather for us shortly and of course, the sport. it's 100 years since some women won the right to vote, and to mark the centenary, hundreds are taking part in processions across the uk today. they'll be wearing either green, white or violet — the colours of the suffrage movement. our reporterjane francis kelly is in parliament square for us this morning where one of the events is taking place. aptly dressed as well. what is the idea behind this much today? —— march. it is a mass participation,
7:07 am
living, breathing work of art. it will encourage women from all over the country to come to london, edinburgh, belfast and cardiff. they will be given wraps in which they will be given wraps in which they will have the suffragettes colours of violet, white and green and they will be encouraged to walk in blocks of colour is. so they will resemble giant suffragette banners which will reflect the hopes and the achievements of women over the past 100 years and what it is like to be a 21st century woman's. fittingly, i am infront a 21st century woman's. fittingly, i am in front of the statue of suffragettes who campaigned for women and is seen as a feminist icon. it is really celebrating the
7:08 am
achievements of women and what a dream forand achievements of women and what a dream for and what they strive for in the future. good to talk to you, thank you. an earthquake with a magnitude of 3.9 has struck eastern england. the tremor, which happened at 11:15 last night, was centred on grimsby, but was felt up to 66 miles away. the british geological survey said it had received reports from residents including one who told how "the whole house shook for a couple of seconds," and someone who "thought it was a lorry crashing outside." an 8—year—old boy has become the youngest person ever to climb one of britain's tallest sea stacks off the coast of orkney. edward mills scaled the 450—foot old man of hoy in aid of the charity climbers against cancer after his mum was diagnosed with the illness. donations have already reached more than £20,000. he spoke to us alongside his trainer a bit earlier. i wanted to do it again. but when i was up there,
7:09 am
it was like, i didn't want to do it again because, like, up on the top it felt really high. it was very, very tough. speaking to us earlier after his terrific achievement. back now to one of our top stories this morning, president trump's on in his way to singapore for his historic meeting with the north korean leader, kim jong—un. it follows his early exit from the g7 summit. we can talk now to our correspondent barbara plett—usher who is in singapore. good morning to you. 48 hours out from this eagerly anticipated summit. it is now going ahead, on and off and now on again. what is the atmosphere like there? you are right, it is on again. neither man has set foot in singapore yet so i suppose there is always room for last—minute changes, but it looks as if it will happen. the atmosphere is
7:10 am
a dish certainly security preparations because you have kim jong—un coming as well as the us president and we do know that mr kim is quite anxious about his security and any assassination attempt. the place where the meetings will take place where the meetings will take place on an island nearby is going to be blocked off, with a high security presence to make sure that eve ryo ne security presence to make sure that everyone feels safe. in terms of what is go to happen, we don't exactly know. president trump has made clear that he will be improvising, he will know as soon as he gets in the room whether he will get a positive outcome not the casino is how to read people. we will see it soon whether it is you're making view of himself as a dealmaker is something that will pay off the. —— off here. dealmaker is something that will pay off the. -- off here. barbara, thank you. big companies in the uk will soon have to publish and justify the pay difference between chief executives and their staff. the new rules are part of the government's modern industrial strategy and have been welcomed by the tuc. we'rejoined now by luke hildyard, director of the high pay centre think tank which published
7:11 am
a report in january looking into the uk pay gap. thanks very much forjoining us on brea kfast. thanks very much forjoining us on breakfast. so what exactly is the plan here? what will we know when it comes to pay? firstly i think it is important to look at the context of these new regulations. payee for top executives in britain's biggest companies has gone from being about 40 or 50 times the average uk work in the late 19905 to something more like 150 times today. now there is no good reason for that. executives haven't become any better over that period and ordinary workers have become any worse. but very high top pay has made the uk one of the most unequal economies in the developed world and these new regulations are about making busine55e5 explain how they are going to have to contribute to that. so what they are going to
7:12 am
be asked to do is compare the pay of their chief executives to the average worker of their company and to the top quarter and bottom quarter of earners to the top quarter and bottom quarter of earner5 at their company. and we think by putting that information in the public domain it will create a bit of pressure to close the gap a bit. what is an a cce pta ble close the gap a bit. what is an acceptable gap? becau5e close the gap a bit. what is an acceptable gap? because i don't think there are many people who would argue that if you are the chief executive of a company that employ5 ten5 chief executive of a company that employ5 tens of thousands of people, you should be on a multiple of the average worker. i think that is true, but equally, the bigger the company are more dependent you are on your fellow workers. you see it time and time again when there are big scandals, for example relating to the big banks, some of the oil companies we see, some british companies we see, some british companies with international operations have had to settle bribery cases out of court. on each occasion they say, the chief
7:13 am
executive will say that they run a big company and they can't have everything that is going on. at the back shows that while they have a lot of responsibility, they are also very fallible individuals and shouldn't be treated like god5 or paid as such. to go back to the western, what is acceptable? what multiple i5 western, what is acceptable? what multiple is acceptable and when does it come ridiculous and who decides that? i think it is something that, you wouldn't want to put a single crude figure for every different company. i think it is more the case that there should be more stakeholder involvement in the pacesetting process. at the moment it is only, away executive pay is set is that a committee of other executives come up with a policy and a figure and that is signed off by the company shareholders, who are also very wealthy individuals, very co mforta ble
7:14 am
also very wealthy individuals, very comfortable with the typical pay awards that we are seeing for the average of a ftse100 ceo is 5 million. we think there should be more involvement of the company ‘s workforce to introduce a bit of real—world perspective into it. as i say, that wouldn't mean a cut figure of ten times or 20 times or whatever, but it just of ten times or 20 times or whatever, but itjust me that we would see pay—outs little bit more a cce pta ble would see pay—outs little bit more acceptable to a company ‘s would see pay—outs little bit more acceptable to a company '5 whole range of stakeholders. do you think if this fair range is seen that the average worker will get more money? because that is ultimately what this comes down to. if people are upset with those at the top team paid what they see as an exorbitant amount, then somebody has got to benefit. you see that transpiring, transcending down to the average worker? it is not going to turn the uk into some sort of egalitarian utopia. but when you think about a low—paid worker or a campaigner or
7:15 am
trade union on their behalf asks for a pay rise, it is very easy to tell them it is unaffordable. with these disclosures they will have access to the pay of the median worker at the organisation, the top owners and the chief executive. it is much harder to lavish millions on a handful of top executives while denying the wider workforce a much more meagre pay rise when everyone can see the disparity in how you're treating the two different groups. thank you to write forjoining us. thank you. most of the uk has been enjoying decent weather lately, parts of scotla nd decent weather lately, parts of scotland were struck by extreme unseasonal conditions, including hailstorms in torrential rain. like things set fire to a house inwardly in east dumbarton sheer, and that is shocking. aylestone is stopped traffic on the nine motorway. the
7:16 am
net office has issued a yellow weather warning. it is such a contrast. yesterday was absolutely glorious in manchester. lots of the country had grey weather. it have pictures like that. i looked at the pictures like that. i looked at the picture on a poor person's house on fire. it is fair to say that is frea ky fire. it is fair to say that is freaky weather? we are in storm season, to some extent. when it you get thunderstorms, you will get lightning and hail and get thunderstorms, you will get lightning and hailand it get thunderstorms, you will get lightning and hail and it is so severe. lightning and hail and it is so severe. it is the contrast as well as somewhere down the road is bathed in sunshine. further north, we had torrential rain. this is one of the pictures sent in by our weather watchers in the highlands yesterday, some angry looking clouds, lots of thunderstorms. around 20 millimetres of rain. the channel islands had 25 millimetres of rain. here is a cumulonimbus cloud. under an
7:17 am
lightning associated with that. there are still some thunderstorms in the forecast today. we have no warnings in place today. there are some warm spells of sunshine. levels very high across most of england and wales, moderate in north—east england, very— ireland. we have some extent patchy fog further west. further east, more cloud that will fit in and break. most of us will see some sunshine, probably more than yesterday. we have showers across eastern parts of scotland. temperatures generally 18 to 21 celsius, but it will be warm of the central and south—east england. get up central and south—east england. get up to 24 or 25 for example in london. here are some details on the showers. they are slightly further east, not quite as prevalent but still some torrential rain. they will filter further south into parts
7:18 am
of northern england, a few showers for wales and a couple around south—west england, but most places will be largely dry. the channel islands still not immune from a heavy thundery shower. there will still be showers around through this evening and overnight. otherwise it isa mainly evening and overnight. otherwise it is a mainly dry night. the cloud will start to creep akin, directors oi'i will start to creep akin, directors on par with last night between nine and 14 degrees. we start the week mostly dry. there will be some good spells of sunshine around, critically across england and wales. still another cloudy day for northern ireland, but mainly dry. a cloudy day across much of scotland, that italy central and eastern areas. perhapsjust that italy central and eastern areas. perhaps just a few showers in northern england. most places dry, still quite warm in the sunshine, but some changes to come as it turns fresher and more unsettled as the go through the week, because we haven't an atlantic front that is slipping
7:19 am
southwards. after a warm, dry start, things turn more unsettled. some rain at times and starting to feel a bit fresher again. it will only beef area bit fresher again. it will only beef are a couple of days, isn't it? summer is not over them. later today, processions are taking place all over the uk to mark 100 years since some women won the right to vote. those taking part will be wearing either green, white or violet — the colours of the suffrage movement. among those getting involved are the staff at guys and st thomas's hospital. our reporter fiona lamdin‘s been to meet them. i am behind the scenes at one of the oldest hospitals in the country. upstairs, patients are waiting for operations. but come through here and you will see a team of nhs staff doing something completely different. these women have been
7:20 am
here for the last six weeks, remembering their female heroes. i think it's really important that women vote, and when we heard about the march as a reminder ofjust how far we've come within the uk, with respect to women, i thought it was something that was really worth celebrating. later today, these women with this banner will join thousands of others across the country as they march, remembering the suffragettes. one thing about sewing that i think is really important is it is an act of repair and joining things together. leading these medics is the artist in residence at kings college london. in the river are floating the names of women that we have decided are significant women in terms of the history, they are pioneering women in health. we have got florence nightingale, we have got elizabeth garrett anderson,
7:21 am
who is recognised as being the first openly female physician to qualify in the country, and she was also a suffragette as well. the bottom corner, we have tessa jowell, and i stitched that on the day she died, because i wanted to recognised much she's done for women and children particularly in healthcare. but this is notjust about the historical known women. there is also a place on the bannerfor the personal. different people have put the inspiring women, i put my grandma. but i call her nanna, i didn't know what her name was. so i had to actually go and research what my own grandma's name was. it was embarrassing, but i asked my mum. it is quite interesting because my mum and my grandma and my sister all have the same name. this experience has given me my grandmother's name, which is quite awesome, actually! and i love that i am showing a nurse how to thread a needle! heather wood has been nursing at this hospital for decades.
7:22 am
40 years ago, women were in very traditional roles within the health service, whereas now, a woman could be in any role, any role at all from chief executive, nursing, doctors, physios, any role. the suffragettes campaigned from better healthcare for women. 100 years on, those who now help deliver it are stitching their names into history. fiona lamdin, bbc news. we will talk more about that during the course of the programme this morning. lots of those martyrs taking place. they are calling them processions —— marchers. you're watching breakfast from bbc news. time now for a look at the newspapers. music producer steve levine is here to tell us what's caught his eye. good morning. are you well? yes,
7:23 am
very well indeed. a new system, i presume you are not talking about this as an advert. no, generally speaking, voice activated control is moving forward, and at a show last week in san francisco, the latest generation of soundbites, one in particular is worth that debated. for those that don't have a sound bite, please get one. the audio quality of the television is so much better, or films. i have a hand—me—down from my uncle. better, or films. i have a hand—me—down from my unclem better, or films. i have a hand-me-down from my uncle. it is fantastic. it is a long thing that normally sits down under the television, but it has much higher quality audio. with movies, buchanan decode the 5.1 to get the surround sound. what this article says, which i fully endorse, is that the son of sir george martin has been brought in as sir george martin has been brought inasa sir george martin has been brought in as a consultant. a great side is
7:24 am
the audio quality goes up, so the audience suddenly then he is detail and resolution that perhaps wearing ear buds, they have failed to realise how great music is. having re cord realise how great music is. having record producer consultants, we are spoilt. we have great audio in the studio. we are used to hearing detail. with sound operated equipment, it is much, much more... you can say, turn up the volume. indeed. turn up a base, turn up the frequency. it takes the technology up, but the interface very easily. if you are listening on the sound by this morning, good morning. it will echo all around the living room. let's look at this. this is yesterday's buckingham palace. savannah, the one in the pink dress, she is definitely feisty, because
7:25 am
you could see her conducting. it is funny. where the plan, it cannot... you know what i like? it shows that these kids are all quite comfortable with each other. they are cousins, they muck about with each other, and she is the oldest. the oldest one ta kes she is the oldest. the oldest one takes charge. their life is very different from most kids lives. the fa ct different from most kids lives. the fact they have that relationship is quite sweet, really. meghan was there for the first time. i wonder what she made of it. her head must still be spinning with everything going on. in the sunday times -- this is really interesting. steve hackett doesn't do that many interviews. that is rare. what this looks at. he was in genesis. sorry, can't in genesis for the younger generation. yet many solo records himself will stop what this looks
7:26 am
thatis himself will stop what this looks that is the nuts and bolts of it is the band split the royalties, which meant you hear so many tragic situations of members of bands from the 605 and 705 who are finding it very, very difficult in this modern world with streaming, record sales are down perse. world with streaming, record sales are down per se. yes, vinyl is up, but the level of royalty income has diminished enormously. and often, the person who writes the song in the person who writes the song in the band is the one who gets the share. it could be a member of the band isa share. it could be a member of the band is a songwriter, but for many, the songwriter may not have even been part of the ban anyway. he or she could have been a professional songwriter. genesis split the royalties equally and consequently in later life, they are having a reasonably good living. that is something i advise to many. just look at it. it is much better to have an equitable situation all around and enjoy the fruits of your labour but also keep the bounty.
7:27 am
around and enjoy the fruits of your labour but also keep the bountym is interesting. it stopped them all falling out. it is always over money. someone is going to sit there and going, actually, i do the lion's share of the work. without me... here is the thing. it when you are in the studio, it can be the tiniest detail that makes a huge difference. i was detail that makes a huge difference. iwas in detail that makes a huge difference. i was in the studio yesterday with a band than we did one small thing and it made such a big difference to the way the end, the chorus came in because it is kind of crescendo. a small detail, but it really has elevated the track and they think in the studio you can'tjust say, i did ten minutes work so therefore... i think the equitable situation all around. give us a quick snapshot of this one. green parrots in south—west london. there is a room about how they got there. the story is that when the african queen is filmed with humphrey bogart, they had to create africa and had parrots, and towards the end, they we re parrots, and towards the end, they were let go. i used to live in full
7:28 am
and one of the reasons the mean moving up here was my studio was consta ntly moving up here was my studio was constantly garaged by the noise that they make. these parakeets are really loud, and they are high in the food chain. if you have any other birds in the garden, they swooped down. someone has done research and proven it was actually true, there generations of current parakeets are related to the original birds. parakeets drove you out of london? it was a small part. to liverpool. the noise... it is unbelievable. the noise through the studio... the noise in spring and summer studio... the noise in spring and summerfrom studio... the noise in spring and summer from five o'clock in the morning. if they are in a crabtree outside your window... plus the flight outside your window... plus the flight path. it was intolerable. all too much. thank you very much. we will talk to you in a now. andrew marr‘s on bbc one at 9:00 this morning. andrew, what have you got in store? i will talk to david liddington, and
7:29 am
labour mac spokesman. a lot to talk about their. scotland public first minister and i will also be talking to arron banks, i beg your pardon, not arron banks. those are your key guests. you're watching breakfast from bbc news. stay with us. headlines coming up. hello, this is breakfast with naga munchetty and rogerjohnson. good morning. here's a summary of today's main stories from bbc news. president trump has accused the canadian prime ministerjustin trudeau of being "dishonest and weak" after the g7 summit ended with world leaders divided. ajoint statement was released vowing to fight the us's decision to impose trade tariffs. mr trudeau claimed there had been a consensus, among all those taking part, to fight protectionism. but mr trump has asked his representatives not to endorse the statement. donald trump is due to land in singapore later ahead of an historic meeting with the north korean leader kimjong un.
7:30 am
it'll be the first time top level talks have been held between the two countries, following years of hostility over north korea's pursuit of nuclear weapons and its record on human rights. big companies will soon have to publish and justify, the pay gap between high paid executives and their average worker. under new laws to be laid out in parliament tomorrow, uk listed companies with more than 250 employees will have to disclose the so—called "pay ratios" in their organisation every year. the tuc welcomed the move, but says workers should also be appointed to boards. nobody is suggesting that successful business leaders should not get remunerated well, but we do think there is a accountability and by having this kind of transparency and for the first time being able to see that ratio between the top pay in the boardroom and the average worker, that will mean that losses
7:31 am
will think twice about the decisions that they make and that will deliver better decisions and fairer decisions for everybody concerned. amber rudd joint iain duncan smith to call for unity as the government tries to overturn a dozen changes to the eu withdrawal bill put forward by the house of lords. the millionaire brexit campaigner, arron banks, has confirmed he will appear before mp5 this week to answer new allegations about his links with russia. it's being reported in the sunday times that he had more meetings with russian officials than previously disclosed. this new information has raised fresh questions about whether the kremlin sought to influence the outcome of the eu referendum in 2016. thousands of people are expected to take part in processions across the uk today to mark 100 years since some women won the right to vote. it's part of a uk—wide event that will see participants wearing either green, white or violet — the colours

of the suffrage movement. organisers hope the colours will create a mass artwork showing a striped banner. an earthquake with a magnitude of 3.9 has struck eastern england. the tremor, which happened at 10:15pm last night, was centred on grimsby but was felt up to 66 miles away. the british geological survey said it had received reports from residents including one who told how "the whole house shook for a couple of seconds", and someone who "thought it was a lorry crashing outside". an eight—year old boy has become the youngest person ever to climb one of britain's tallest sea—stacks off the coast of orkney. edward mills scaled the 450 foot old man of hoy in aid of the charity ‘climbers against cancer', after his mum was diagnosed with the illness. donations have already reached more than £20,000. let's move on to sport. talking
7:33 am
about tyson fury and we have a guest in the studio to bring expert analyses. steve bunce was at the manchester arena commentating for 5live and hejoins us now. this is obviously the only thing we wa nt to this is obviously the only thing we want to talk about. tyson fury making his comeback, it was fair to say it wasn't the showdown that we we re say it wasn't the showdown that we were hoping for with his comeback. it was the kind of showmanship that we expected. we expected fun, laughs and to look a little bit. —— a little bit big. he was a bit rusty. his timing wasn't great and he made up his timing wasn't great and he made up for that with antiques, putting his hands above his head, leading the crowd and looking out. talking to people at ringside, laughing and joking and kissing his opponent on the head. what all of the showmanship did was that it masked, in my opinion, just how rusty he
7:34 am
felt. because he was, i can assure you, he was out of sort. even though it has only been a couple of years, i think his timing should have been better and it wasn't. he was missing punches but he got away with it against this guy who was a lot shorter because he was having a laugh. i tell you what i found odd, was we were talking about this yesterday, about what was in it for the opponent in terms of fighting this guy? was tyson fury disrespectful to him? this guy? was tyson fury disrespectful to him ? what this guy? was tyson fury disrespectful to him? what does seferi have to gain? was he disrespectful? no. that is what he does. if you rememberwhen disrespectful? no. that is what he does. if you remember when he fought vladimir klitschko, unbeaten in four years. in the second round of that fight front of wladimir klitschko's people, 50,000 people, tyson moved around him, smiled and patted him on
7:35 am
the bottom. so actually, seferi, so good they didn't name his twice. i can assure you there is no frank sinatra thing going on. that isjust what he does. he doesn't seem to be little, although you could say that. what seferi got out of that, quite simply, is a payday. probably the best payday of his career. but he was a fall guy, what was the point? what was the point of it? yes he was making a comeback and wants to remain undefeated. but other than that what did it improve? what do we know about him after last night? quite simply is that had he comeback against a better and bigger opponent, a live opponent, there is just a chance with his timing being
7:36 am
so just a chance with his timing being so bad and his distance being so bad and his shape being so bad, there is and his shape being so bad, there is a chance of it would have gotten interesting. if he loses in this comeback, it is all off, all the 70, 80, $90 million fights. they are out there. that is why the guy had to be, the expression you might say, it had to be that add. can he get into good enough shape and is he good enough to fight anthonyjoshua? good enough shape and is he good enough to fight anthony joshua? the tyson fury from 2015, when he beat vladimir klitschko, that guy beats anthonyjoshua. actor was not in manchester last night. he hasn't been anywhere near lancashire for the past three years. can he get back to shape? i don't know. there we re back to shape? i don't know. there were a couple of moments where he turned serious and there was an interview he was doing on television la st interview he was doing on television last night, where he had turned serious and said i realise now after
7:37 am
four rounds of clowning and joking, just how hard it is going to be. i think he has come back, made a few quid, entertained 18,000 people, got people talking but now he is back in the gym. he is going away on monday for training camp. i tell you what, fa ns for training camp. i tell you what, fans meet the give this fight as a bit of a show about, the fans want entertainment. if you are a boxing fan you want to see a proper fight. that was not good enough in terms of entertainment. even if you are a casual fan and coming out for that event with your partner, a staggering amount of women there la st staggering amount of women there last night, even coming outjust for fun, ican last night, even coming outjust for fun, i can assure you you want to see a fight. that was the last of the comedy fight. i would not be on this sofa again talking about a joke fight. it is interesting you talk about a lot of women and celebrities. is he rehabilitated our? have we all forgiven him because he sets a pretty outrageous stuff in the past. he has said and
7:38 am
done some pretty outrageous things. we have to remember is that he has also talked about openly about those dark places, drugs and depression. i think people have warmed to that and found in this giant guy that has got a dark side, they found someone they can associate with. i think people like him. i do think they liked him when he won the world title against wladimir klitschko, i think they like in our. it is fascinating to hear you say that if you can get to his best he can beatjoshua. heavyweights come into their prime much later and he is only heavyweight terms, he is a baby. moving on to rugby union now. on to the start of the rugby union summer tours — and england's wait for a win continues after they were on the wrong end of a 10—try thriller against south africa injohannesburg. ben croucher was watching. seeing the opposition celebrate has become as hard to watch for england as it has become a habit.
7:39 am
although johanessburg's glorious game gave entertainment, it gave few answers to england's problems. for 20 minutes at least, england didn't have any, spotting spaces in the disorientated defence. in the same time as it took to score 3, the springboks leapt in with four of their own to take a stunning half—time lead. s'busiso nkosi the opportunist and the finisher. at test rugby's highest ground, this game was breathless. but it was england who were winded when south africa put fresh air between the two. and with back lines gasping and lungs bursting, johnny may bursting for one last time to put england within three, but no closer. despite a fourth test defeat, eddiejones says fans should be excited with what they saw, they mayjust have as much cause for concern, though. george turner became the first scotsman to score an international hat—trick for more than a decade, as they beat canada by 48—10 in edmonton. this was a really encouraging win for a scotland side full of fairly inexperienced players.
7:40 am
wales also got off to a winning start, in their two—test series against argentina. flanker james davies scored his first try on only his second international appearance, as they won 23—10 in san juan. but ireland's 12 match unbeaten run came to an end with a 18—9 defeat to australia in brisbane. the irish haven't beaten the wallabies down under in nearly 40 years, but they'll get another chance next weekend in melbourne. rafael nadal will be looking to stretch his record of french open titles to 11 when he takes on dominic thiem in the final in paris this afternoon. and simona halep has a grand slam to her name at last after coming from a set down to beat the us open winner sloane stephens, who afterwards had a good—natured dig at the american tennis press. cani can ijust can i just state for the record can ijust state for the record that all of you guys in here were
7:41 am
tweeting that i had a boozing record for everybody but the inner states. i think for everybody but the inner states. ithinki for everybody but the inner states. i think i have done very well, if you would like to tweak that i would be very happy and give you a light because you seem be very happy and give you a light because you seem to only want to say she is 0—8 in the other countries and blah blah blah. a lot of you. i just wanted to, for the record, i don't know what i am now but it is better than what i was. england's women may be cricket world champions, but they were well beaten by south africa in their first match of the summer. they were in all sorts of trouble at 97/8, before katherine brunt‘s unbeaten 72 at least set a reasonable target of 190. but south africa got there comfortably, to win by seven wickets with almost five overs to spare. lewis hamilton has work to do in the canadian grand prix if he's to extend his lead at the top of the f1 world championship. he'll start from fourth on the grid in montreal tonight, with title rival sebastian vettel on pole, just ahead of hamilton's mercedes
7:42 am
team—mate valterri bottas. hamilton leads vettel in the standings by 14 points. northern ireland'sjonathan rea has won his 60th world superbike race, breaking the record carl fogarty has held for 19 years. rea's latest victory came in brno, in the czech republic. he's attempting to win the world title for the fourth year in a row and said, "i want to keep living this dream and winning is my motivation. sorry, foggy!" welsh cyclist geraint thomas is on the brink of winning the biggest race of his career. he has a 1.5—minute lead going into today's final stage of the criterium du dauphine in france. fellow british rider adam yates is second in the overall standings. that is some achievement,. it is, and it seems to go under the radar. he isjust
7:43 am
and it seems to go under the radar. he is just incredibly successful, he has done brilliantly. i don't know how you could be sniffy about the stuff that they do. thanks to joining us on breakfast today. the main stories this morning — the g7 summit has ended with world leaders divided as president trump withdraws his support for a joint statement, accusing canada of "dishonesty". the president is now on his way to singapore for tuesday's historic first summit with north korea's kimjong—un. mr trump has described it as a mission of peace. he has this hat on. here's alina with a look at this morning's weather. some very severe thunderstorms across the channel islands and scotland. a good example of a cumulonimbus cloud. under an likely not far away. this is the same spot an houror so not far away. this is the same spot an hour or so later. you can see the
7:44 am
contrast. then he had brilliant sunshine. today, a lot of people will be mainly dry. still some thunder riche hours, not quite as prevalent as they were yesterday. a quick look at the pollen, very high across most of england and wales. moderate across north—east england and southern parts of scotland. back to this morning, we had some this download cloud further west. plenty of sunshine developing here. some sunshine coming through as that cloud falls away further east. more to come through the day and some will filter down into parts of northern england as well stop very few showers and northern ireland. a colder feel that it was yesterday. let's put more detail on those showers. you can see how they are further east than they were yesterday, but a flash of lightning, a rumble of lightning. not quite as severe a rumble of lightning. not quite as severe as yesterday. we might see some developing in two parts of
7:45 am
northern england, perhaps as far northern england, perhaps as far north as the midlands. many places are largely dry. still some thunder never too far away from the channel islands. most places, it is dry, good spells of sunshine. the temperatures up to 24,20 good spells of sunshine. the temperatures up to 24, 20 five celsius through south—west england. 12 showers across scotland and south—west england, clear spells at first, but cloud creeping westwards as the night wears on. still quite muqqy as the night wears on. still quite muggy and humid, perfectly across southern england. most places will start the week dry. scotland could see patchy light rain at times, but further south some good spells of sunshine. they can't rule out a few showers and northern england throughout the afternoon. temperatures tomorrow, and to agree also higher in south—east england and east anglia. a warm start to the week. some changes wednesday. with
7:46 am
the an atlantic front pushing its way across. some outbreaks of rain that will slowly slip south and east towards the end of the week. restart lawmen dry monday and tuesday, and the central and southern england and wales on wednesday it should be largely dry. then it starts to turn more unsettled with welcome rain at times. we will be back with headlines at eight o'clock. now on breakfast, 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 modern
7:47 am
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 a 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 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 the ball the same twice. yeah. so if we want to know how a ball‘s going to respond to a particular kick, we need the robot. ok, 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... whoa!
7:48 am
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,
7:49 am
it's the mechanical properties of the ball, it's the way that it deforms under different kicks or with 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 it 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 team—mate, pepe reina, called for it to be changed. whether the world cup is the right time to focus on technological
7:50 am
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. ok, 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
7:51 am
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 tracking and performance system — or etps — 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,
7:52 am
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 use — 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 field. 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 all this technology, how big is the risk that we lose the real spirit of the game? the role of the data analyst is simply just to, again, just to support those coaching decisions. i think there are some key insights that can be found in the data.
7:53 am
but football will always be those 22 players on the pitch, and the coach is always going to be the person one 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
7:54 am
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,
7:55 am
it went to 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 you think of our kits? good, aren't they? so i need to do a bit more practice. now, 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? ok, 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 not 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.
7:56 am
i'm assuming these grades arejust for trying hard, because, clearly, i was absolutely ridiculous. it was quite fun, but i'm not sure that i actually really exercised any proper sort of skill. the app worked beautifully, it was lovely to look at, great instructions, but i don't think i was born to play football. well, now i've got the moves, or not, it's time to learn some tactics. i need to actually be able to play the game. so some mixed reality‘s here to help. this is soccer training on the microsoft hololens, teaching the rules through a mixed reality game, a lot of words, and questions to check you've been paying attention. there's some text, but i can't actually read the text properly. it's not in quite the right position. there we go, there's the goalkeeper, and it explains offside position. well, the premise is good, i like the virtual players running about, but it does feel slightly hard work to watch, because, naturally, you want to watch the people, but you actually need to be reading the words.
7:57 am
so i tried to kick a ball around, thinking about everything a robotic leg, a smart football and microsoft hololens experience had taught me. but through no fault of the tech, i'm still monumentally useless. stephen, look over there! 0h! i had to find some way! that's it for the shortcut of our world cup show. the full—length version is up on iplayer right now. next week, we're going to be in the united states for the e3 video game show in los angeles, and elsewhere in the country too. in fact, by the time you see this, we'll already be there tweeting @bbcclick, sojoin us there and see what we're up to. thanks for watching. see you in the states. hello — this is breakfast, with naga munchetty and rogerjohnson. the g7 summit ends with world leaders divided. donald trump withdraws his support for a joint statement — tweeting from air force one he accuses the canadian prime minister of being "dishonest and wea k". the us president is now on his way to singapore for historic
