8:01 am
and in sport... a warm reception for tyson fury as he makes a successful comeback in manchester — against the ‘less than testing' — sefer seferi who quit after four rounds. and alina jenkins has the weather... good morning, most of us will have a dry day, some warm spells of sunshine but, like yesterday, a chance of thunderstorms. i will tell you all about it in the next 15 minutes. see you later! 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. a joint 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,
8:02 am
defiant in the face of a clutch of world leaders still furious with america's unilateral trade tariffs. 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 it was the words of the canadian prime minister,
8:03 am
justin trudeau, who announced he had 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, "based onjustin‘s false statements...| have instructed our us reps not to endorse the communique". they worked hard to avoid this kind of meltdown — and they thought they had done just that. but in the space of two or three tweets, the divisions between these supposed allies are now as deep as ever. gary o'donoghue, bbc news, quebec. that is 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.
8:04 am
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, the summit was on, thenit good morning, the summit was on, then it was off, it is on again but 110w then it was off, it is on again but now 48 hours away... what is the atmosphere like there this morning? yes, president trump has left his allies angry at the g7 and now he is coming here to make peace with an enemy. that has everybody here very interested. there is a lot of anticipation that is unprecedented, there has never been a meeting between a north korean leader and a us president and it's the furthest back kim jong—un has us president and it's the furthest back kimjong—un has ever us president and it's the furthest back kim jong—un has ever travelled as leader. he has gone twice to china before but that's all. it will be interesting to see what happens in terms of the deal, we know that the americans want the north koreans to give up nuclear weapons, north korea wants actions and security guarantees if they give up their weapons. and whatever could come out
8:05 am
of that all could be able to be worked on will be decided in this kind of showdown between two powerful and unpredictable leaders. it's a highly unusual way to conduct high—stakes diplomacy. a lot of interest. there will be a lot of interest. there will be a lot of interest there in the next day or two. barbara plett usher, thank you. the millionaire brexit campaigner arran 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. we are seeing this on the front pages this morning, how are these allegations coming about and what can be made of them? yes, so this is the sunday times investigation,
8:06 am
reporting that arron banks had three meetings, we understand, with the russian ambassador to britain. it has been revealed in e—mails obtained by the former sunday times journalist isabel oakshott, alleging that banks may have potential business deals discussed at these meetings but in his own book on brexit, mr banks only admitted to having one meeting. this is important because mr banks was the biggest owner of leave.eu, the culture minister wants to question mr banks on potential links to russia. we understand that he wasn't going to give evidence, now that he is going to speak to the culture and media committee on tuesday. so far, mr banks has played down the meetings, describing them as two boozy lunches and a cup of tea but now says it is
8:07 am
and a cup of tea but now says it is a political witchhunt. and a cup of tea but now says it is a politicalwitchhunt. thank and a cup of tea but now says it is a political witchhunt. thank you very much for explaining that for us. 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 to ensure all hospitality workers receive 100—percent 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. 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. we will be talking more about that
8:08 am
and getting our colours absolutely right in the next few minutes! an earthquake with a magnitude of 3.9 has struck eastern england. the tremor, which happened at 23:15 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". you are up with all of the main stories this morning. as we mentioned moments ago... processions are taking place across the uk today to mark a 100 years since some women w011 the right to vote. those taking part will be wearing either green, white or violet — the colours of the suffrage movement. we can now speak to helen marriage, who is the director of the event — which is called, simply, "processions" — and jenny waldman who commissioned it. good morning to you both. tell us,
8:09 am
please, what you expect from today? well, we are expecting tens of thousands of women to gather in london, edinburgh, cardiff and belfast, to celebrate the first women getting the vote in the uk 100 yea rs women getting the vote in the uk 100 years ago. and everything that women have achieved in the last 100 years. it isa have achieved in the last 100 years. it is a fabulous day for women and girls everywhere, tojoin it is a fabulous day for women and girls everywhere, to join together. it is the culmination of months and months of work with 100 artists working with 100 communities all over the uk. it is a focus part of oui’ over the uk. it is a focus part of our 1418 programme this year. and how will this be a bit of art today, how will this be a bit of art today, how will this be a bit of art today, how will that transpire? how will this be a bit of art today, how will that transpire ?|j how will this be a bit of art today, how will that transpire? i think that normally, when people take to the streets in a demonstration or public event, it is alljust a bit random wearers what we are doing todayis random wearers what we are doing today is to try and make these moving stripes of colour, a sea of colour that marches through the
8:10 am
streets of our politically devolved capitals. if you want to come, there is still time to get on the bus, you will be given a scarf like jenny is wearing in one of the three colours. we have worked it out so that as the women move through the streets, you will get a moving artwork, which is a living banner, if you like, in the colours of the suffragettes. we should make sure that people are aware of the locations, you have belfast, the titanic let ways, cardiff, that is the cardiff city football ground, meadow walk in edinburgh, and london park lane to abingdon street. you have invited women and those who identify as women and those who identify as women to participate, there will not be any men or those who identify as men in the march? we love that men are, for this one afternoon in 100 years, are standing by in solidarity. so what do you think, now, 100 years and since some women
8:11 am
have been given the right to vote, how far do you think we have come? we have been looking at me too and various events in the celebrity world where inequality is highlighted, are we moving on?” think we are moving very fast, if you look at the wonderful statue by gillian wearing behind as of millicent fawcett, her birthday is tomorrow and i think she would be pretty pleased with what has happened to date. there's plenty more to do and that is one of the things that we would to mark, to celebrate and pay tribute to those who came before us and inspire young women today to use their vote and use their voice to ensure that women get represented in public life and really make a difference. there is plenty more to do. how important do you think it is that women, such as
8:12 am
millicent fawcett, are remembered and are names that we can recall to mind immediately for the new generation? i think what has happened over the years is that the women who have campaigned are not really identified as individuals. if you look at their extraordinary stories, and the links that they we nt stories, and the links that they went to to campaign for people like us went to to campaign for people like us to have the right to vote, it is really inspiring. we have been running education programmes in schools, part of the banner making workshops that we have been doing with these 100 communities is about teaching and the history, discovering amazing things from the girls group of young and pregnant women in hull, and prisoners in scottish prisons saying they have never voted or never been eligible to vote, but they are never not going to. we are trying to inspire people by teaching them about how
8:13 am
important it is that women stand up and be counted. thank you to both of you very much forjoining us this morning. thank you. coverage of those processions later this afternoon on bbc one. you're watching breakfast from bbc news. 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 kim jong—un. mr trump has described it as a mission of peace. while most of the uk was enjoying warm weather yesterday, parts of scotland were struck by extreme, unseasonal conditions, including hailstorms and torrential rain. lightning set fire to a house in wooddilee

again. studio: thank you. no escaping it, thatis studio: thank you. no escaping it, that is for sure! 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. he spoke to us earlier alongside his trainer ben west. i feel very ifeel very proud, i feel very proud, and ifeel very proud, and ifeel... very, very happy. i want to do it again. but when i was up there, it was like i didn't want to do it again, because, like, up on the top, it felt really high. we have seen pictures of you climbing, as you are
8:18 am
talking. edward, tell me how tough it was? it was very, very tough. ben, you must be very proud of him, to have achieved this. looking at these pictures, it is a phenomenal achievement isn't it? yes, you did amazing. he climbed every pitch without resting. sitting on the rope or using any points of aid or anything like that. he was incredible. it was amazing to watch. edward, tell me, wide eu enjoy climbing? what is it that makes you enjoy it? —— why do you enjoy it? well, i enjoyed it, because, like, so when i climb it makes me, like, wa nt to so when i climb it makes me, like, want to do something but i don't
8:19 am

8:20 am
to people that don't find that it has some really challenging moves, especially for his height, there we re especially for his height, there were certain sections i was following him on where i am standing on good hands and with footholds and he is having to find these corners with no holds whatsoever, because he could not reach them. they are basically blank walls on some of the pictures. he coped so well. you did brilliantly, edward. and you did it for your brilliantly, edward. and you did it foryour mum. it brilliantly, edward. and you did it for your mum. it was nice because she was able to watch? yeah, she was on the boat and she told the captain to beat the horn! do you know what, edward, i bet she is really proud of you and it is a phenomenal achievement. well done, the youngest person to climb up the old man of hoy. then west and eight—year—old edward
8:21 am
mills talking to us there —— ben west. you're watching breakfast from bbc news, it's time now for a look at the newspapers. music producer steve levine is here to tell us what's caught their eye. we'll speak to steve in a minute, but first let's look at the front pages. the sunday times the sunday times with the sunday times with this the sunday times with this big the sunday times with this big story the sunday times with this big story about arron banks on the front page, he will appear before mps in parliament, all kinds of suggestions in the article about possible kremlin involvement in the eu referendum in 2016. and on the front page of the mail on sunday, this is the headline. some claims of russian meddling in the referendum emerged last night after it was revealed that arron banks had three meetings with the russian ambassador alexander yacob.
8:22 am
this is the story in the sunday express, you cannot escape brexit on the front pages. peers have been accused of abusing their position on the referendum vote. the front page of the sunday mirror focuses on the soap star bill roache, it has an exclusive but the gentleman, it talks about the death of his daughter saying he lapsed into his car after he got a text saying his daughter was close to death after a terrifying car crash. let's look at the stories, you picked up one about tommy nutter. tell us about him? he is a famous taylor on supple row. i once had a suit made by him and a shared ——
8:23 am
saville row. this is a book i have two get myself, telling the story of setting up the fashion empire. what is interesting about these great fashion designers, you may not know it but their designs become incredibly iconic in the correct sense of the world. for example, the white suits thatjohn lennon sense of the world. for example, the white suits that john lennon wore, he designed them. the famous soups that they wore on that zebra crossing, they were his suits as well. they shape the music industry in an interesting way. of course, people want to look like the beatles. and apparently brian epstein and cilla black put money into the original company to set it up. carnaby street in the late 19605, up. carnaby street in the late 1960s, early 1970s, it up. carnaby street in the late 1960s, early1970s, it was up. carnaby street in the late 1960s, early 1970s, it was a real change in design. i strongly believe
8:24 am
in hell day iconography has a mainstream effect, this was a gay man talking about how they looked so goodin man talking about how they looked so good in the suits —— i strongly believe in how they iconography has a mainstream effect. bianca jagger and twiggy wore these suits, you said he would charge women extra because he could never get on with their breasts. i once got him to design a shirt for me. i wanted a copy of one of those incredibly iconic stripy shirts, he made me one of those shirts with a button down, which i wore to a show with brian wilson committee had asked where i got back shirt. tommy nutter! i must admit that i did not watch this, and
8:25 am
i wish that i had... he is unbelievable in this comic you grant. incredibly brilliant. the following documentary that tom mangle did is also great, there's an incredible twist in that documentary. essentially there was another plot going on but what is fascinating is david knapp late, or sir david norgrove, the famous lawyer, defended jeremy thorpe but also my father. my father who was a street trader, he had a street stall outside ofjohn lewis, westminster council wanted to take the licenses from anyone selling fruit and vegetables that had historic licences, my grandfather had before my father and david discovered that queen's father, king george, had a license that was above westminster council, so david knapp lee became a seller after that.
8:26 am
—— —— david david napley became a seller after that. and the first question in this was did you try to kill me? that was the plan. the drama versus the documentary, if you compare and contrast the characters in the drama against the documentary footage, the likenesses and the portrayals are breathtaking! it is fantastic. it is on iplayer and it is fantastic. we've been talking about art this morning, we have these processions taking place across the country, marking 100 yea rs across the country, marking 100 years since some women got the vote, they will wear violet, green or white scarfs, it will be a huge piece of art. it's all about interpretation. these two men, the artists gilbert and george are doing
8:27 am
what now? personally, i love them, my daughter has done history of art and not them, they have used £9 million of their own money to set up a gallery that what is so brilliant is that they will showcase new talents that they believe could be the next and subsequent generations. gilbert and george, many people want to see their own work. they will have a collection of their greatest hits to bring people through the door. side by side, they are going to effectively highlight certain people they feel are... they have an eye for it, of course! it is bringing people through the door so they are exposed to this new talent. they were a little unhappy with the establishment. they say they are modern artists but their work is in the tate britain and they should be in the modern, they almost feel shunned, why? those who know their work, some of their work is quite shocking. we mentioned tommy nutter
8:28 am
with gay iconography. that is the whole thing about art, it should be shocking and open discussion, it should provoke and stimulate. i'm a bit of a philistine, probably, but what is art? to me it is a picture. i know that it is two—dimensional. but there is a whole world. my daughter did a history of art at university, so consequently i've gone to galleries with her. we went to the tate last week. i am learning about art in a way i never did through her, she is an expert in certain areas. we look at it with that detail, when you look at some of the great pictures from gilbert and george and you have someone who studied at explaining it to you, you go, aah, this is fantastic! you never stop learning. thank you. i'm my pleasure. —— never stop learning. thank you. i'm my pleasure. -- it is my pleasure. you're watching
8:29 am
breakfast from bbc news. still to come this morning... the image of emily davison being killed by the king's horse at epsom became synonomous with the suffrage movement. until now it was thought to be the only moving footage of her that existed. but now, a hundred years after some women won the right to vote, we'll see new pictures of one of britain's most famous suffragettes. hello, this is breakfast with naga munchetty and rogerjohnson. here's a summary of this morning's main 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 kim jong—un. kim jong—un has arrived. a
8:30 am
kimjong—un has arrived. a picture has been issued of him shaking hands. we will bringing them as soon as we get them. 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 successful business leaders should not get
8:31 am
remunerated well. but we think there is an accountability and we think by having this kind of transparency and for the first time been able to see the ratio between the top pay in the boardroom and the average worker will mean that bosses will think twice about the decisions they make and it will deliver better decisions and it will deliver better decisions and more fairer decisions for everybody concerned. the former home secretary amber rudd has led calls for conservative party rebels to back the prime minister on brexit ahead of a crucial commons vote next week. writing in the sunday telegraph, ms rudd, who backed remain, joined the former party leader iain duncan smith to call for unity, as the government tries to overturn more than 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 mps 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
8:32 am
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 11:15pm 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
8:33 am
"climbers against cancer", after his mum was diagnosed with the illness. donations have already reached more than £20,000. what makes a good boxing bout? not last night's fight. you want people around the same weight and height, same sort of talent would be a good start. it was fair to say that tyson fury‘s fight last night was not a good fight but when you ta ke was not a good fight but when you take into consideration he had been out of the sport for 924 days during which time he lost his licence, battled his depression and had disputed the doping violations and got up to something like 26 stones.
8:34 am
this was tyson fury‘s comeback fight and he won it fairly comfortably — needing only four rounds to beat sefer seferi. he spent the first two rounds posturing and he was warned for playing—up to the crowd — but when they did get down to fighting, an uppercut seemed to do the damage, and his opponent retired just before the start of the fifth round. i enjoyed it. it was about coming back, getting some ring rust off, getting under the lights again. and having a little dance under the lights, getting used to being back in the ring. it's been a long time. if i am brutally honest, i could knocked him out in ten seconds. i could have done him in the first round, that is being honest. but what would that have done me? i got four rounds instead of 30 seconds, basically. and i enjoyed it. i got a good little four rounds in. tv exposure, baby! laughter. and fury will be back in the ring on 18th august in belfast — no word yet on who his opponent will be, but it's likely to be a much stiffer test than seferi —
8:35 am
and we were talking to the boxing commentator steve bunce an hour ago and he says fury has a long way to go to get back to his best. can he get back to shape, i don't know, there were a couple of moments last night where it turned serious. an interview he was doing on tv last night, where he just an interview he was doing on tv last night, where hejust turned an interview he was doing on tv last night, where he just turned serious and he said i realise now, after four rent of cloning and joking, just how hard it's going to be. i think he's come back, made a few quid, he's entertained 15,000 people. he's got people talking. and now he's back in the gym, he's going away on monday to training camp. 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. 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
8:36 am
disorientated defence. in the same time as it took to score three, 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 straight 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 points to 10 in edmonton. this was a really encouraging win for a scotland side full of fairly inexperienced players.
8:37 am

8:40 am
leaderjeremy corbyn claims it will benefit as many two million people. with us now is actor and restaurant ownerjennie mcalpine. good morning. morning. lovely to have you here, you have got a restau ra nt, have you here, you have got a restaurant, what is your policy on tips? it's quite frightening to think that whenever i go to these big chains i do think, will they get the money? in our restaurant everybody shares the tips, so not just the waiter you give it to, and we collect the money... we being the management, and we divvy it up, the waiter will get it and put it in a pot. we counted out and it's this tribute it amongst all staff, the waiting staff but also the kitchen, the cleaning staff we have, which is
8:41 am
a smaller team which i think is fair enough. not the management. not the management, definitely not. and it is given to them in their wages so they pay tax on it because there is a another side of it which if you keep your own tips you're supposed to pay tax... you say you collected in but if somebody put it on a credit card? the same, it's compensated for the restaurant not that i'm saying that's why chains don't do it, but you have to work it out so at the end of each week when the balance sheet is done the money thatis the balance sheet is done the money that is paid as tips on cards, we work that out and put that into the cap on and so we can divvy it amongst the staff. if i am leaving a tip ina amongst the staff. if i am leaving a tip in a restaurant i ask who gets it. if i am told if you pay by card we don't get it i will leave it in cash, do you get many customers
8:42 am
asking? i think people assume, i don't know, but they are right to a seminar case that it's bigger chains that do that but i don't know why because we don't speak for them, but we've got a small team of 20 people who actually, 20 give or take, who wa nt who actually, 20 give or take, who want everyone to share the tips because we all work for each other so the waiter once the kitchen staff to get it and vice versa and so i think hopefully our customers get in the our sand now we will be doing that. some asked but considering we area that. some asked but considering we are a city centre restaurant we get quite a lot of regular customers so hopefully they have got to know us andi hopefully they have got to know us and i am sure they know we will give the tips. do you think some places use it as an excuse to pay less in the basic wage? in might be but it used to be. i was always a waitress,
8:43 am
iama used to be. i was always a waitress, i am a waitress slash actress, they are the only qualifications i ever got and are the only qualifications i ever gotandi are the only qualifications i ever got and i was not even a very good waitress to be honest! i was just thinking about this, when i was 15, at school, which are still there is no law about the minimum wage for people under 16 but i was paid £10 for a day working between people under 16 but i was paid £10 fora day working between edm— people under 16 but i was paid £10 for a day working between edm— 5am —— eight in the morning until 5pm, but then i would get tips so i would have about 20 quid in the end so it's just things have changed. have about 20 quid in the end so it'sjust things have changed. do you think there is a justification in terms of these, you said for example it's not easy, you have to spend time taking the money and counting it up and adding to the wages, redistributing it are thinking about credit cards. that does cost you to do it. and time. do
8:44 am
you think there is an argument to say we are taking a percentage of this, as devils advocate? for us, no. because we are a small team and we have been open for five years and most of our staff, we have got stu d e nts most of our staff, we have got students who have come and gone and worked for us while they have been at university and left but most of the staff have stayed with us and all players because we look after them. i guess, all players because we look after them. iguess, i all players because we look after them. i guess, i don't know, but i guess that the big chains do it, i don't think they probably do do it to keep the money because i think it's relatively small for a big i will not name checked them but i think it will be clerical reasons to be honest. i worked in a pub and it was new year ‘s eve and everyone was collecting their tips, and because i was such a misery i did not get any, i got 50 members of pe, pitted in a
8:45 am
pint pot than someone else pinched it. that is my bugbear as a restau ra nt it. that is my bugbear as a restaurant owner, they never have this but you see it all the time, i don't think it's ok to have a tip jar, maybe on new year's eve there isa jar, maybe on new year's eve there is a exception but when you see it i think you should not be expecting a tip and when you go to other countries in the world where if you don't give 20%, you know, i think it is wrong to expect it. but we are on the culture where we think it's if it's deserved. which is why i never got any! it was so nice to see you, thank you for coming in. you're watching breakfast from bbc news. the main stories this morning. north korean leader kim jong and north korean leader kimjong and has arrived in singapore, ahead of a historic meeting with president trump, the two due to meet injust historic meeting with president trump, the two due to meet in just a couple of days after years of
