the g7 summit has ended in disarray, with a war of words between president trump and the canadian prime ministerjustin trudeau. mr trump then accused him of being "dishonest and weak". and president trump is on his way to singapore, where north korea's leader kim jong—un has arrived. the two men will hold historic talks on denuclearisation. companies are to be forced to justify the pay gap between their highest and lowest earners. the tuc has welcomed the move, but says workers should also be appointed to boards. the millionaire brexit campaigner arron banks reportedly had undisclosed meetings with russian officials and discussed a deal involving six russian gold mines. he will appear before mps on tuesday. 100 years after the first british women won the right to vote, women across the uk are set to march together. they will don the colours of the suffragette movement — green, white and purple — and join a mass procession. coming up in a few minutes our sunday morning

edition of the papers — this mornings reviewers are anne ashworth and james millar. before the papers — sport and for a full round up, from the bbc sport centre, here's lizzie. good morning. well it wasn't boxing at its best but tyson fury won his comeback fight in manchester last night after two and a half years out of the sport — and he won it fairly comfortably. the former unified world champion has dropped seven stone and battled depression during his break. 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
9:32 am
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. 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 — and the boxing commentator steve bunce 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 turned serious and he said i realise now, after four rounds of clowning 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.
9:33 am
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 toui’s — and england's wait for a win continues after they were on the wrong end of a io—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 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.
9:34 am
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 ten in edmonton. this was a really encouraging win for a scotland side full of fairly inexperienced players. 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 i2 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 a0 years — but they'll get another chance next weekend in melbourne. rafael nadal will be looking
9:35 am
to stretch his record of french open titles to ii 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 gave the american tennis press a polite ticking off. 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 for eight 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
9:36 am
on pole, just ahead of hamilton's mercedes team—mate valterri bottas. hamilton leads vettel in the standings by 1a 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 one and a half 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's all the sport for now. hello and welcome to our look ahead
9:37 am
to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are the associate editor at the times anne ashworth and political commentator james millar. let's have a look at some of today's front pages. the sunday times is focused on suspected links between the russian state and leave dot eu's top donor arron banks. they say he had undisclosed meetings with the russian ambassador and was offered a business deal involving six russian goldmines. the mail on sunday also leads on the same story — saying mr banks met with russian state representatives, passing on details of trump's transition team after his election before he had been installed
9:38 am
in the white house. staying on a brexit theme, the observer reports that rebel tory mps who want to stay in the eu customs union and single market appear to be backing away from voting down government legislation next week — for fear that a defeat for theresa may could see boris johnson installed in number ten instead. similarly the telegraph says senior tories are warning the party to back the prime minister in next week's vote — for fear of letting jeremy corbyn into downing street. and finally the mirror has an interview with coronation street star bill roache, who plays ken barlow in the soap — talking about his dash to see his daughter before she died. that is just a flavour, let's discuss things in more detail, aaron
9:39 am
banks dominating quite a few things, revealed, the brexit backers golden kremlin connection, suspected russian spy linked to the top donor during the referendum. this story has everything, brexit, russia, putin, trump, all mixed together in a glorious soup of what might be true and what might not be true because these are just allegations but it seems as if aaron banks, who was the head of one of the most super syphilis pro brexit bodies had more extensive links and meetings with the russian ambassador and the kremlin it is alleged with the offer of business deals than he has ever let on before. he is quoted in the papers as pretty much dismissing
9:40 am
these allegations as overblown. papers as pretty much dismissing these allegations as overblownm truly complex in the sense that he wrote a book in which he claimed he had one boozy lunch with the russians to put it simply will stop it turns out and he admitted them the comment, he had two and a cup of tea. typically dismissive and aggressive. 0n the face of it you can understand where he's coming from, so what? i had more meetings thanl from, so what? i had more meetings than i said. but he published a book with his name on it, offered by isabel 0akshott claiming he had one lunch and it turns out he had more so lunch and it turns out he had more so why was that not in the book? the headline is clever, golden kremlin connection does not really mean anything but there is slightly suspicious. business links to russian gold mines. it's a typical russian gold mines. it's a typical russian approach, we will make you richer and give you better
9:41 am
connections and support you. but there is a strange element, did nobody in russia have any telephone numbers of anybody on the trump team that they were having to ask aaron banks for them? or did they not have them in the contacts? it seems as if trump acolytes and supporters, key people on the team, their numbers we re people on the team, their numbers were passed by aaron banks and his people to the kremlin. also the front page of the mail on sunday. pretty much effectively the same story. we'll be hearing more from aaron banks, he has agreed to go before mp's on the culture committee next week. maybe. he said he wasn't but now he's suggesting he will. personally i would not bet any money on him turning up. he says he will but i would not like to see which way it's going to fall. the committee meeting i think on tuesday will be box office because they have been looking into all this fake news
9:42 am
stuff. damian collins is the chair and he has been quite strong in his questioning of witnesses. the person from cambridge analytica last year was given no quarter. i suspect aaron banks will come out all guns blazing. some people will say why does this matter and others will say that this shows the russians had a hand in brexit, that's the basic allegation. i have been in switzerland all week riding through fabulous swiss landscapes, reading swiss and german newspapers and like us swiss and german newspapers and like us they are talking about is the idea that we have all the west unravelling and is this more just signs of the western world, that packed we have seen since the end of world war ii coming to an end, the structures and the relationships that we always understood would continue, breaking up. we've seen more of that at the montreal summit, this idea that there were countries
9:43 am
who would have small disagreements but would always resolve those. trump walks out of the g—7 saying the relationship is ten but failing to put his name to the statement on the conclusions of the summit. i think these are very big stories unravelling in weird ways. bother is 110 unravelling in weird ways. bother is no smoking gun, it's always like maybe the russians are after something but if they wanted to cause trouble with the russians go through nigel farage and aaron banks? the cartoon has the russian ambassador alert saying our let's hope are links to ukip don't ruin out hope are links to ukip don't ruin our reputation. let's talk about these boats coming up in the commons which will be very important, very important for the brexit process. all sorts of pressure on rebel tory mps. the sunday telegraph has backed
9:44 am
theresa may, or getjeremy corbyn. another one saying if you don't backed theresa may you will get borisjohnson. either way backed theresa may you will get boris johnson. either way a backed theresa may you will get borisjohnson. either way a lot of pressure. it is and a lot of it is aimed at tory mp's. did not aimed at us as aimed at tory mp's. did not aimed at us as readers, it's winding up the pressure and leading tory mp's think there is a genuine threat. is the really? the telegraph story is a highly unusual show of unity across the brexit divide. amber rudd who was in four remain writing a piece with iain duncan smith, is that across the brexit remain? amber rudd has a very pro brexit seat with a tiny majority so you might see why she is fairly pro brexit. also a close ally of the prime minister. at the end of the date she relies on votes to get back, its constituents she needs to think about. i'm not
9:45 am
sure it is as big a deal as they making out. i wonder if theresa may reads all the stories and thanks i will survive. she is humming it to herself as she reads these. isn't the substance, you start to read the story and you think it's great possibility. let's show you the front page of the observer which as i mentioned, not to muchjeremy corbyn coming into downing street if you vote the wrong way, but boris johnson. which do the tories fear most? there are odd stories because they are old—fashioned in the idea that the prime minister could fall and you either have an election or someone and you either have an election or someone taking over. in reality having another election is quite tricky because of the fixed—term parliaments act and who would replace theresa may is also not straight forward because of the maths in parliament. it is a hung parliament which we've not had since
9:46 am
the 70s and i think a lot of the cove rage the 70s and i think a lot of the coverage harks back to simpler times. people have been predicting her downfall for quite a while and she is still there. she is. ithink something is building. those mortal plotting at the moment. it might just be the heat, the annual summer planning. debates around the withdrawal bill will be did i think. yeah but i don't think she will lose many votes. talking of theresa may, she's been in canada at the g—7 summit, an extraordinary summit which ended in absolute disarray as we have been saying, with donald trump pretty much tearing up or rescinding his signature on the final communique. this is the story in the mail0n final communique. this is the story in the mail on sunday that theresa may was effectively snubbed a couple of times by donald trump. it's
9:47 am
becoming a badge of honour to be snubbed by trump. it shows that he doesn't really perhaps mean it. i think one of the most fascinating things in this story is the pantomime of handshakes between emmanuel macron and donald trump as to who is going to win the handshake war. you think crucial things being discussed here... is the idea he has snubbed theresa may but he has snubbed theresa may but he has snubbed all of them to go and the north korean leaders. you want to be snubbed by the sort of person...m you are a manual macron and you have this amazing bromance, then it explodes in yourface. this amazing bromance, then it explodes in your face. yes, they are over, macron and justin trudeau who are a young, suave leaders who thought they could somehow control trump, it turns out nobody can.
9:48 am
there are standing in their own countries will be higher as a result. they will be better liked. when things keep going slightly wrong for theresa may she starts talking about we, like the queen. we have a good relationship. there is no evidence of that. donald trump heading to another summit as we said. which is arguably more important. this is combining both, he tells the g—7 i will win 1000 trade wars by then also saying he will take 60 seconds to suss out kim jong—un when they are talking about denuclearisation, this is his style. you walk into a summit, you don't need the preparation, you know in a few seconds if this guy means business. the problem picking out the crazy stuff from the not crazy stuff. saying within a minute he
9:49 am
will know if he likes emma not is not no more shall we say. the stuff about winning a thousand trade wars is true. the will, that is the problem for everybody else. but he says so much staff are trying to pick out the sensible stuff is difficult. he was supposing the g-7 ba tariff free zone, that they become a special community in which there are no tariffs then there are talking about more tariffs. cars are important. if he really starts addressing foreign car imports into the us... he's not afraid to insult other leaders. to calljustin trudeau and dishonest is quite an insult. it's a problem between knowing who his friends and who is not friends are, we're not sure if kim is an enemy are not. it's all very well, you can see what he does,
9:50 am
he tries to destabilise everyone, nobody knows what he's going to do. you don't do that with your friends and there might come a time he needs them. he is more of a businessman and a political leader, the idea that you would wrong—foot your opponents in a deal in order that you have a strong position and then make it up with them later once the deal is done. is that a good way to do business? it seems to have been successful in the new york real estate game whether on the world stage or not is a different idea. we will wait and see. let's move the sunday telegraph, they have got a story about gagging orders, no point in gagging orders if names are already online. that is what a top judge says. another story about the influence of social media. the topjudge is stepping down and
9:51 am
you can see which he means. social media is ahead of the game now, people's names, that thing of having, halfway around the world for the truth has a chance to get its trousers on but you think there is a wider issue around social media. when newspapers comply with all these injunctions to not mean people you should see how many e—mails we get every day coming through, these names must not be mentioned, these are the rules of how the case may not be covered. people are dissatisfied, they go to social media and decry the press for playing by the rules. i wonder if, this is an interesting question as to whether anybody, have we entirely surrendered privacy and attempting to obtain it in the courts where it's available in any other platform is perhaps going to be difficult. it's a good discussion have started.
9:52 am
i good sunday newspaper story, get you talking over lunch i think. and it's not even lunchtime! the sunday telegraph, this is my favourite picture of the day. prince william are looking down on prince george, a very cheeky chappie yesterday, giggling during the national anthem. it's a cracking picture, it looks good, does not matter who they are but you got the uniform and children and everything. i hope he wasn't looking down too long because the flying past is the best part. it's the side eye, if you do not be quiet now i will have to intervene. this is savannah phillips with her hand over naughty prince george's mouth who was playing up a little bit. he does not look bothered does he? she is the boss of the cousins, you can tell. you would not want to mess
9:53 am
with her. it's a glorious picture of a glorious day because on the second royal occasion the sun came out and it looked glorious, the royals, you wa nt to it looked glorious, the royals, you want to plan a barbecue do it on a royal weekend. it want to plan a barbecue do it on a royalweekend. it points want to plan a barbecue do it on a royal weekend. it points to the popularity that they've got a big front page. and if you want a barbecue timed around the world cup which is coming up very soon and we are all very excited, i know you both are. yeah... the mail on sunday have a rather different take. it's called the very beautiful game, with the emphasis on beautiful and what we have displayed is the best looking participants in this contest, the footballers and their wives. it's interesting, it's an interesting approach... a lot of flesh. the women have got their and
9:54 am
their accomplishments are emphasised rather than their role as wags. we we re rather than their role as wags. we were talking about this outside and wondered if it is the new editor of the daily mail who is currently the editor of the mail on sunday setting out his stall for what life could be like under that regime because it's a clever piece. also it's good, let people start talking about the world cup, all those who want to watch the football and those who like the ads looks around. for people who are not that interested and want to look at pictures of good—looking men and women there is an opportunity. exactly. we did not pick this because we wanted to local men and women but people will be pouring through the mail on sunday today because it's the first since the editor has been named as the new editor has been named as the new editor of the daily mail which has a huge influence on the politics and the general discussion in the nation. do you think it will change
9:55 am
tack in any way politically are just changed tone? they've got us talking about the paper which is a good thing. interestingly younger demographic, it's all about engaging younger generation in your product and how you do that, the way you reflect on the nuanced views of readers because people have very much more complicated views on social phenomenon than you imagine and how you reflect that for a new generation will be the people who win the newspaper war. looking forward to the world cup or do you not care? i am a football fan so i am. do you think england will do well? no... i am looking forward to it, i don't think england will do well but there is or was part of your brain thinking just maybe... you can dream. great to have you
9:56 am
both with us. that's it for the papers this morning, you can see the front pages online on our bbc news website, seven days a week. if you happen to miss the newspaper review any day of the week you can watch it later on the iplayer. thanks again and goodbye for now. for many it's a fairly sunny sunday and most places are going to be largely dry, however there are still some thunderstorms in the forecast, those most likely to see them will be the channel islands, eastern parts of scotland and some filtering south to parts of northern england. the pollen level today very high once again across much of wales and england, north—east england it is moderate, moderate or high for

northern ireland here is the forecast this afternoon and much of the country is dry, plenty of sunshine, more than yesterday across much of england and wales but wales could pick up a few showers and speaking of showers the heavier ones will be further north. the top temperature 19—24, maybe higher across parts of london and the south—east, here is some detail, further east than yesterday, not quite as prevalent but still the chance of heavy rain, some of the storms creeping south. light showers scooted across parts of wales in south—west england, thunderstorms nearby for the channel islands, elsewhere dry with plenty warm sunshine. fine end to the day for many, parts of northern england, eastern parts of scotland where a few could go overnight, showers may play, creeping west as the night wears on, otherwise clear spells and

9:59 am
o'clock. .. the g7 summit ends in disarray over trade tariffs — president trump lashes out at the canadian prime minister calling him dishonest and weak. 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, we are polite, we are reasonable but we also will not be pushed around. and president trump is on his way to singapore, where north korea's leader kim jong un has arrived. the two men will hold historic talks on denuclearisation. companies are to be forced to justify the pay gap between their highest and lowest earners. also: 100 years since some women won the right to vote. processions are taking place all over the uk, women will don the colours of the suffragette movement —
