It's Friday, it's 9:00am, I'm Joanna Gosling.

It's the Queen's official birthday

celebrations this weekend - a national service of thanksgiving

will be held in St Paul's this morning to celebrate her 90th.

Also on the programme - the Euros get under way

in France today, with the country still

on the highest state of alert after last November's terror attacks

And Labour says the country will be hit by further spending cuts and tax

increases if Britain votes to leave the EU.

We'll bring you the details and look back at last night's TV debate

And from Boris, well, he's the life and soul of the party but he's not

the man you want driving you home at the end of the evening. There was a

contrast between this side of the argument, that is offering hope, and

that side of the argument, that is offering nothing but fear about life

outside. We're off a little early because of

special coverage of the Queen's birthday celebrations.

A little later in the programme, the boxing

promoter Kellie Maloney will talk about her friendship

with Muhammad Ali ahead of his funeral tonight.

As always, really keen to hear from you -

do get in touch on all the stories we're talking about this morning.

A national service of thanksgiving will be held at St Paul's Cathedral

today to mark the Queen's 90th birthday.

It will be attended by members of the Royal Family,

including the Duke of Edinburgh on his own 95th birthday.

This is the first of three days of celebrations to mark her official

birthday, after she turned 90 in April.

Tomorrow it's the annual Birthday Parade Trooping

the Colour and on Sunday, there'll be street

Final rehearsals for the choir of Saint Pauls. It is quite a

responsibility to perform in front of the first-ever British monarch to

reach their 90th birthday. Called I Love All Beauteous Things, the new

anthem is based on a poem by Robert Bridges, the poet Laureate at the

time of the Queen's birth in 1926. It has been composed by the current

master of the Queen's music. It is a really good poem for this occasion.

It is a good likeness and energy and it talks about how our lives pass

very quickly and that's very appropriate to the Queen, being 90,

but I think to everybody, religious or not, this poem will speak to

them? Although the anthem's Royal premiere will be at St Paul's

Cathedral, amateur choirs across the Commonwealth, including here in

the music in readiness for their own the music in readiness for their own

services this Sunday. Michael joined the choir in 1952, the year

Elizabeth became Queen. She's been a constant theme and when you think of

all the things that have happened over the years, she's always been

there. Being head of the church, there is that link with the Church

of England and being head of the Church of England means a great

deal. 12-year-old Kathryn Stone remember is meeting her when she was

just six. -- still remembers meeting her. It was a very fun experience to

meet her will my friends and she has got to be a very strong woman to be

able to lead a country for such a long time. And in the congregation

will be fellow nonagenarians Cathy and Barbara. She's been there all

the time for everything we've done. I don't know. I think we need her.

Very much. I just cannot imagine the country without her. That's right. A

sentiment which will no doubt be shared this weekend, from Solihull

to the farthest reaches of the Commonwealth. Later in the

programme, I will be speaking to someone who is turning 90 today for

her reminiscences about effectively growing up alongside the Queen.

Also, that special coverage on the BBC News Channel from 10:30am. Right

now, let's catch up with the rest of today's news with Annita McVeigh.

Leading figures from both the Leave and Remain campaigns

have been trading blows in a major televised debate.

Boris Johnson was accused of using the Leave campaign as part

He insisted his side were offering hope over fear.

Our political correspondent Vicki Young reports.

They lined up as if they were on a game show,

but this was a serious and, at times, acrimonious battle,

political foes standing side by side, ministerial colleagues

There were sharp exchanges over immigration.

We hear talk of high rates of immigration.

There's also, generally speaking, record high levels of employment

across the UK right now, because open, inclusive economies

If we stay in the EU, there is no chance of

The Remain camp have failed to answer that question.

Without control, what will happen is that our ability to plan

for schools, for housing and for hospitals is limited.

The Remain side demanded to know what would happen to British exports

You've said you'd come out of the single market,

but you haven't said what you'd replace it with.

There are millions of people whose livelihoods depend on answers

We would have access to the single market,

I mentioned just now there are 27 countries not in the EU that have

done better than us at exporting goods.

And it was clear who the Remain side were gunning for.

Boris, you don't seem to care about the millions of jobs that

I think you only care about one job, and that's your next one.

For Boris, well, he's the life and soul of the party,

but he is not the man you want driving you home at the end

But Boris Johnson ignored the personal jibes, and stuck

They say we have absolutely no choice.

We have no choice but to stay locked in the back of the EU car,

driven in the wrong direction, going to a destination we don't

Both sides are claiming victory in this debate.

In two weeks, we'll know who has won the contest that really matters.

Senior Labour figures will today tell the party's supporters

that there will be tax rises, spending cuts and a watering

down of workers' rights if Britain leaves the EU.

Deputy leader Tom Watson and shadow cabinet colleagues are suggesting up

At the same time, the shadow home secretary, Andy Burnham,

has criticised Labour's campaigning in the referendum.

He said it was failing to get through to the party's traditional

voters, and the Remain side could face defeat.

That's a summary of the latest BBC News - more at 9:30am.

We will bring you more on Muhammad Ali's funeral later in the

programme. Do get in touch with us

throughout the morning. And if you text, you will be charged

at the standard network rate. Now let's go to Paris for the sport

with Sally Nugent. Excitement rising, Sally?

Absolutely. Less than 11 hours now

until the tournament kicks off. There'll be thousands of fans

in the fan park here behind me, Massive security operations will be

taking place across France for the duration of the tournament,

but the fans are focusing And I chatted with a couple

Northern Ireland fans ahead of their opening

match against Poland. I can't wait. This is the first time

Northern Ireland have ever qualified for the Euros. The last time we

qualified for a major tournament was 1986 in the World Cup, so I've never

actually been alive to see Northern Ireland in a tournament so I can't

wait. We've got tickets for all the matches, so we just can't wait.

We're playing Germany in Paris. They are the best team in the world, so

I'm on cloud nine! This is the best feeling of my life. I've been

watching Northern Ireland matches with my dad, going to all the

matches. When we beat England 1-0 at Belfast, I was there, but to

actually qualify for the European Championships, I never thought it

was going to happen but here we are. I'm sorry to mention this but you

are in a terribly difficult group. How optimistic are you that you will

get out of it? We have 14 games going into the competition so

anything can happen. We have the players to do so. It is a tough

group with the likes of Poland and Germany but anything can happen. How

far can your team go? Fu if we can get a last 16, we will take it from

there. As long as we get out of the group, I will be happy.

So that's the fans - and there'll be plenty

more on the show shortly from the supporters.

Wales are in a major tournament for the first time since 1958.

They can boast the world's most expensive player in their side,

so has Gareth Bale been involved in anything like this before?

It's been a bit surreal, I think, especially with Wales having been

there so long. I think every time when a major championship went on, I

was always at home watching on TV, and to actually be involved now is

amazing. I think for us, we want to take it all in and enjoy it. It's a

new experience, one we want to enjoy, play good football. It's nice

to be involved in everything for a change and hopefully now we can do

the nation proud. So Wales play Slovakia

on Saturday, and then it's England's turn -

they play Russia. Alan Shearer knows what it's

like to take a leading role at a tournament,

following England's path to the semifinals of this

tournament 20 years ago. Two decades on, he expects the

current crop of players to play beyond their years.

I think he knows his 11, I think he has known his 11 for the last couple

of weeks, probably paying his cards close to his chest. Game against

Portugal at Wembley was disappointing, the system didn't

really work that he was trying out, so I'm assuming he's going to do

something different about, but all the preparation will have been done

now and it's now over to the players. So France play tonight. A

win and a good tournament for that team would help reset the mood in

this country. Back to you, Joanna. Thank you Raymond, Sally. Much more

to come with Sally. -- thank you very much, Sally.

So, after 50 years of hurt, could it finally be

triumph for England, or, perhaps more likely an early

The 2016 Euros football tournament gets under way today in France

Over the next month there will be 51 matches involving 24 nations to be

crowned the champions of European football.

We don't have long to wait to see our home nation teams,

because England, Wales and Northern Ireland

So who are the favourites, and who are the dark horses?

When a tournament comes to France, the trophy doesn't leave. For

believers in patterns, is this deja vu? For the French are here with

strength, led from the back by Hugo Clarice. There are potential threats

everywhere. The skill of West Ham's Dimitri Payet, the electricity of

Anthony Martial, when to stay and I too's saving grace. But because they

qualified, this is a squad kept out of the heat of competition for two

years now. Will pressure break its bonds? It has happened before,

publicly in 2010. What about the champions of the world? Two years

ago, everyone looked up to Germany but perhaps their crown has slipped

slightly. Two players have gone and the Germans have been

uncharacteristically patchy since returning to Brazil. With the likes

of Mesut Ozil and Toni Kroos conducting the orchestra, this

remains a team of skill and experience which can never be

written off. The Spanish, so recently world football's

trendsetters, across the Pyrenees as the holders. Four years ago, their

victory prompted big claims. Is this pain inside the best football team

ever? But there is a sense that the wheel has turned away from Spain and

their game has become somewhat slack at. Still silk threads through the

squad, Cesc Fabregas and Pedro, backed up by the brilliance of David

de Gea, if he is chosen. Italy by tradition specialised in shutting

out. Defences key. The Black and Whites of Juventus runs through it.

For some time, Belgium have been the insiders outsider but now their

strength is no secret. The camouflage has robbed off. From

Romelu Lukaky to the front to Toby Alderweireld and Jan Vertonghen at

the rear, excellence props of expectation. So who are the real

long shots? Who might do a Leicester? There is a challenge from

the North. Iceland on Europe's very fringe overcame the Netherlands to

reach France, built around a team of equals.

From the east of Albania, noisy off the pitch and expert spoilers on it.

From the east of Albania, noisy off the pitch and expert spoilers on it.

The Alpine powers of Austria and Switzerland sends stars. The Swiss

boast an Arsenal player. Might this be a celebration of individuals?

Cristiano Ronaldo at Portugal, even Robert Lewandowski of Poland. The

biggest European Championship yet could confound everyone.

Overnight England football fans have been involved

in violence in Marseille, ahead of their game

They clashed with locals before riot police used teargas

Let's talk to football manager Peter Taylor,

who has been in charge of England at under 20 and 21 level,

and was caretaker manager for the full side.

He has coached five of the current England squad.

It is a young squad? It is a good, young squad and we have approached

tournaments in the past with players being tired from a hard season, but

this time they look fresher. How much pressure is there on the

manager when he is bringing through young players who won't have come

together in a team like this before? The great thing about Roy Hodgson

is, he has encouraged young players and that is what the nation wanted.

I want the nation to be a bit more patient even if we don't get the

right results. Sometimes, younger players with less experience are a

bit more inconsistent. Remember when Theo Walcott was picked, the

spotlight is on someone young and experience, which brings inevitable

pressure, but performing at this level, it must be quite hard?

Looking at the group, they seem confident. When we played Germany

and we beat them, we were confident group. They showed enough respect

for the opposition, but they weren't afraid of them. They have confidence

about their own ability and that is why they are playing at the level

they are playing at. What about Wayne Rooney? You need that

experience, there will be a couple of situations where a player needs

to calm down or told what to do and you need that experience. If we

didn't have Wayne Rooney, we would be too young. We need that

experience. Would you have him in the starting line-up? Absolutely,

but Harry Kane is the Centre forward position, he deserves that. Wayne

Rooney will play a big deeper, but he will still use his experience and

intelligence to cause problems. What are your best hopes? We all have

high hopes, but realistic hopes for England? You would always fancy

France because the tournament is in France and they always turn out good

players. It is all about England, if we can start well and get some

momentum going it is an amazing thing, momentum. You believe you

will win every game and every tackle. I can see is starting well,

we will be fit and quicker than Russia, that is why we will win

tomorrow night. And with a good win at the start of the tournament, it

breeds confidence and spirit. You have been there, you know what the

mood in the dressing room will be like, so close to the match kicking

off for the England team, how will they be preparing? It wouldn't be

surprising if Roy has told them the team. You don't want to give

anything away and that is what has happened in previous tournaments. I

imagine they know what they are doing. How far before the team being

revealed to everyone else do the players know West remark ideally,

Roy will have told the players as quickly as he knows it. Alan Shearer

reckons he would have known it for weeks. He will have had some idea, I

think the players will know a couple of days before. Sometimes if you let

them know too early, the other 11, 12 players know they are not playing

and it is not good for the spirit. If you keep everybody on their toes,

tell them they have a chance of playing, it keeps the interest going

longer. It would not surprise me if he named the team yesterday gave

them some idea. With the training sessions they would have had an idea

what would be the starting 11. Marcus Rushford, 18, talking to one

of his teachers later. I was reading about how when he first went into

the dressing room he was overawed to be the players alongside him with

their names on the back of their shirts. What do you think about him?

It is a lovely story, we have all been there where you have walked

into a changing room and the players are more experienced than you.

Experienced players will be understanding how he's feeling as

well. I went to see United under 21 play and he was a substitute. It is

an amazing situation where he is in the senior squad for a great

tournament. I am sure he is a bit different, he looks a very, very

good player, very confident player. I think he will be used as a

substitute, but he is different and the opposition don't know too much

about him. The other home nations, great for Wales and Northern Ireland

to have qualified, what you think their chances are? I think England

will win the group, Wales will be seconds, but the Republic of Ireland

and Northern Ireland have done great. They have more difficult

groups than England. It will be tough, but the spirit they have

shown qualifying gives them every chance. Thank you very much, Peter.

The last time France hosted a major football tournament was the World

Cup in 1998 and they want it. The team was a diverse group of players

and many of the players, their parents were born outside of France.

Since then, support for the far right has grown and last year's

attacks in Paris have boosted that support. What is it like to be

French, football and the son of Muslim immigrants to the country?

Louis Saha played in the Premier League and for the French national

side and has been showing up reporter Matthew Price, around

Paris. Paris, I was born here in 1978. It

is my town, this is Paris. Played for a few clubs in England,

Manchester United, Fulham, Everton I hope that England go well in the

competition. I hope France win it. Paris means a lot to me because it

is where I grew up, it is a beautiful city. Suicide bombers

attacked Paris and 130 people were killed. When the attacks happened,

several attacks last year, as someone who was born in Paris and

loves Paris, what did you feel in your heart? It hurt me a lot. I was

scared for my family and my friends. I was scared for the French people.

Not only physically, mentally it was really hard. It was so sad. It was a

disaster. It took us a few months to go back to work without it may be

thinking about that. The attackers were Islamists extremists and has

led some to Blaydon Muslims in general and it is hard on people

like Louis Zaha from a Muslim background. This is the suburb of

Paris where he grew up and this is his first football club. I started

here when I was very young. I was sitting on this bench waiting for

hours to decide to go to see the chairman of the President and say, I

want to join. Look at your hair style. Strange. That is you? I was a

bit fitter here. Your parents came from Guadeloupe. When did they come?

1977, I was born a year after in 1978. Your parents came from? Congo.

What was it like, perhaps you can discuss what it was like, what was

it like in the 1980s growing up in Paris, children of parents born

outside? TRANSLATION: When you are a kid, you

don't feel any racism. But when you grow up, you do see differences

between people. When you were little, you just enjoy yourself,

that is it. The first moment when I realised this thing existed is when

I had a special moment when me and my best friends and my dad, we went

to a game and we were attacked verbally by the fans. Is France

getting more or less racist? It is hard to say. But basically, anyone

in this situation would say, we are behind a few countries with racism

and the way to fight it. TRANSLATION: We all have older or

younger brothers who are very well qualified but are working in

McDonald's because the name doesn't fit anywhere. We have known we would

have to work harder than anyone else, just to make it. We were

always told that as well. We just didn't understand why. You can see

countries doing more. In Great Britain, we were safer, we

integrated, maybe we were in living in a bubble because of football. But

I could see... Even now, with your status and the fact people know you,

you feel there is a difference the way people view the colour of your

skin in England, as opposed to France? Yes, definitely. Staggering

differences. TRANSLATION: Look at London's new Lord Mayor. He is a

Muslim, son of an immigrant. He has got the position on merit. In

France, it is nothing to do with merit, there are religious arias,

barriers because of your colour, your agenda of course. Loads of

barriers. I was here in Paris after the

Charlie Hebdo attacks and after the attacks in November. On both those

occasions, people said we must be stronger, this must bring us

together, we must live together as a society. But, in many ways

everything seems to be going opposite and in the other direction,

people are more suspicious of the other. If you ask me the question,

you already have the answer. Pretty much everybody will see a Muslim as

a threat. When you see someone who is dressed a certain way, it is like

someone dressed in a tracksuit with a hood, you think he cannot talk

properly. This is our society now. It goes to the extreme with some

people doing horrible things. It is very unpleasant to be put in the

same basket when you haven't done anything wrong and you try to

behave. This is Paris. If I'm born here, if

I am French, you have the possibility to come every time to be

surprised, by the beauty, by the spirit that you can find only hear.

It's special. We've talked a lot about division, about the attacks of

last year and everything. You've got this football tournament. People

talk about football uniting people. Is this an important tournament for

France in terms of uniting people? Yes, it is. I think we have a great

opportunity to show to the world that we are here to enjoy, we are

able to have drinks together, to have emotion together, without

thinking about anything else, because people who are in

Afghanistan or whatever, in Iraq or in Syria, people are staying in

camps. There are other places where it is a struggle. We will have more

coverage ahead of Euro 2016 kicking off later.

BBC News - more at ten. Most of us have just one

birthday every year - Her actual birthday is in April,

where she turned 90, and an official one in the summer

so that people can celebrate It's her official birthday tomorrow

but celebrations begin today with a service of thanksgiving

at St Paul's Cathedral. She'll be joined by Price Philip,

the Duke of Edinburgh, Here's some of the

highlights of her reign. And Epoque in British political life

came to an end when the Queen received the resignation of Sir

Winston Churchill, premiered through one of the most Google periods of

our history. For the last time, he entertained Her Majesty and the Duke

of Edinburgh at ten Downing St. These are the first pictures in

colour taken of the infant Prince. Even black-and-white films would be

how -- heart-warming. As we watch the pictures, we almost seemed to be

at Balmoral ourselves. To be here as winners of the FA Cup has often been

described as the summit of a footballer's ambition. How much

greater Wilber triumph they enjoyed now. It was appropriate that the

Queen's day on the river should begin here, where the first

Elizabeth was born, and where there are so many royal connections. The

Duke of Edinburgh and the Prince of Wales studied at the Royal Naval

College. 1992 is not a year on which I shall look back with undiluted

pleasure. In the words of one of my more sympathetic correspondence, it

has turned out to be a annus horribilis. At Buckingham Palace,

which has become a shrine, the Queen led other members of the Royal

Family to pay their respects at the side of the road, just like

thousands of her subjects were doing. This afternoon, the president

and his wife, Michelle, chopped in 40 and a chat at the palace with Her

Majesty and Prince Philip. She wondered whether their jet-lagged

meant it was hard to stay awake. I had meetings with the Chinese, the

Russian... CHEERING

And today the Thames provided the setting for this tribute to the

nation's monarch. The Queen has seen many spectacular sights in the 60

years of her reign but never anything quite such as this on the

Thames. I will continue to treasure and draw inspiration from the

countless kindnesses shown to me in this country and throughout the

Commonwealth. Thank you all. Let's go now to Sarah Campbell at St

Paul's Cathedral. What's happening there today? Well, the service

itself starts at 11 but you can probably see behind be that some of

the 2000 strong congregation... They started arriving around half an hour

ago and they are making their way in. They are the usual collection of

VIPs, dignitaries, people from around the world. The Prime Minister

will give a reading but also government departments have been

asked to nominate people, from the health sector, sport sector,

education sector, that have given service over the last few years, so

they will be participating in the service and that's the theme of this

entire weekend, one of service. The Queen has given service to the

country as the Queen for the last 64 years but it's also reflecting other

people in the community that have done the same. Let's find out more

about the service and what we can expect from 11, from the Dean. Take

me through what we're expecting today. It is in some ways a fairly

straightforward church service but with some extra bits in it to

reflect the nature of the occasion. There will be some fantastic music

and singing. There will be a reflection by Michael Bond, the

Paddington Bear creator, Paddington being the only other character with

two official birthday is. Michael Bond also born in 1926. Yes, and

David Attenborough, also born in 1926, will be reading a reflection.

There will be music by Judith Weir, the master of the Queen's music,

which can be sung by any choir, not just a professional choir like ours.

That was part of the commission. Wires around the world have been

able to download the music and will be playing it in their own services

this Sunday. -- quires. That is a way of bringing people to be part of

this aberration. We've been here since 6am and the crowds have been

building. Some people have been spending time overnight. Inside the

church there will be Prez, reflections, things which reflect

the Queen's life and interests to dock we have Clare Balding for

racing, a young lawyer reflecting the law in the city, a young cadet

who is going to be reading. There is a theme of both people who are 90

taking part, so Hilda Price, whose birthday is today, born the same day

as the Queen. She will be helping lead our prayers today and the idea

is bringing together people of all ages and backgrounds from across the

country and when the Queen was born, the country was very different. We

are much more diverse nation that we were but all of us can come together

to talk Thank you very much indeed. Hope the service goes well. This is

the start of a weekend celebrations. There is truth in the colour

tomorrow and a lunch on Sunday where 10,000 people will sit down on the

Mall and share a picnic. And street parties in towns and cities. And we

should mention it is the Duke of Edinburgh's 95th birthday today, so

happy birthday. In a moment we will talk to someone

who has met the Queen but first let's talk to Sheila Hall, who is 90

today. Thank you for joining us. Congratulations. How does it feel to

be 90? Er, all right. You've grown up at the same time as the Queen.

Have you always been aware of your lives in parallel but obviously very

different lives? Oh, yes, yes, I was always interested in the Royal

Family and watching them grow up. And looking at somebody growing up

through the same times as you but with such a very different

experience, did you ever looked at her life and contemplate what things

would be like for her compared to you growing up at particular periods

in history? Yes, oh, yes. Yes, it was nice to watch the family growing

up and when they got married, the Duke and the Queen. I suppose I'm

thinking particularly of when she ascended to the throne at 25, a

young woman. You were a young woman at exactly the same stage, looking

to a life of freedom and she was facing a life of duty. What did you

think that that stage? I don't really know. I don't think I've

thought a lot about it at all. She became Our Queen and that was it. Do

you admire her? Oh, yes, I think she's marvellous. What is it that

you would admire about her? Well, she remembers everything. She can

speak to anyone and travel a lot across the world and speak there to

all these different people. And to be still going strong at 90 in the

way that she is, and is still carrying out official duties, that's

quite something, isn't it? It is. Oh, it is, yes. Well, as a little

birthday celebration for you, we'd like to give you a birthday cake to

wish you a very happy birthday, so here it is, just coming in behind

you. Oh! Oh, that's beautiful act of thank you very much. That's lovely.

Thank you for joining us and enjoy the date it happy birthday. Thank

you. Claire Ward is a former Vice

Chamberlain and has met the Queen. Thanks for joining us. Tell us what

that role means. What were your duties? Well, the Vice Chamberlain

to Her Majesty's household is a position that an MP has in the

Government's whips' office and you are there to report on behalf of

Parliament to the Queen, so I used to have to write a letter every day

that the house was sitting to Her Majesty, telling her what we'd been

discussing the House of Commons, what we'd been doing, and also the

other main events for the Vice Chamberlain is when the Queen goes

to Parliament for the State opening to make the Queen's Speech,

Parliament has to give up one of its own as a hostage to guarantee the

safe return of Her Majesty, and that was my role, so I had to go to

Buckingham Palace in and France before the Queen could leave to go

to the houses of Parliament to make a speech. -- in advance. How funny.

Did you see her on that day? Yes, my roll-up Buckingham Palace was to

first of all be greeted by Her Majesty with others and also I had

an opportunity to view all of the royal jewellery that was laid out

and was to be used on the day, and the various items that were taken

with the Queen as part of a visit to Parliament on that day, together

with the royal jeweller. And with the Lord Chamberlain, who is

somebody that is effectively the head of household for the Queen, I

was able to wave off Her Majesty and Prince Philip as they headed off in

the carriage to the houses of parliament to make a speech. And

then I was taken to one of the rooms at the back of the building, into

one of the offices, and had an opportunity to sit with the Lord

some of the Duchess of Cornwall some of the Duchess of Cornwall

biscuits that were available, before we moved on to a few other alcoholic

drinks. Obviously on days like that that is

the Queen on ceremonial duty, but you have met her behind closed

doors, what is she like in that environment? She is incredibly well

aware of all the things going on. She has amazing insight to a lot of

of the issues. Quite often when I had to go and get something signed

by Her Majesty for a Parliamentary piece of paper, she would be talking

about the day's vents and what happened. A couple of times I

remember it was during the summer months, there was racing on and we

talked about whatever had been going on in terms of horse racing. I am

not really that knowledgeable about horse racing but I made sure when I

was doing that role, to know what she was interested in should the

conversation arise. And an opportunity to stroke the dogs and

talk to her about the corgis as well. We are looking at some of the

pictures done to mark her birthday. She has taken some pasta and --

fantastic one of the Queen and her corgis. Breaking news on the Old

Bailey, Albert Simpson Kent, has pleaded guilty to the murder of his

partner, actress Sian Blake and two children. We were told he would be

pleading guilty but he was yet to enter a formal plea. That is what

has happened at the Old Bailey, him admitting the murders of Sian Blake

and their two children. Zachary who was eight, and amen he was four

years old. The family had been reported missing last December. He

was arrested at Heathrow Airport after being extradited from Ghana.

The Labour Party is claiming there will be more spending cuts and tax

increases in the event of a leave vote. But John man and Dennis

Skinner announced they will be voting to leave. Let's go to our

political correspondence Ben Wright at an event, it is all cross-party

when it comes to the EU referendum, but the focus is on Labour? Yes, it

is dawning on Labour this referendum could hinge on what happens in their

constituencies. There is a sense of panic, some trepidation this could

be slipping away from the Remain campaign and these last two weeks,

Labour has to do something to galvanise its traditional vote and

get them out to vote for remain macro. Tom Watson, the deputy leader

of the party will be at an event and setting out what will be needed if

Britain leaves the European Union. He says it will require an emergency

budget which will mean more spending cuts and tax rises. But a whole

Battalion of senior Labour figures warning of the consequences. Andy

Burnham has warned about fragmentation. Siddique Khan has

said there is too much conservatives attacking each other and that is

maybe one reason Labour voters are being put off voting for the Remain.

There are other voices in the Labour Party, John man, Dennis Skinner,

veteran left-wing Labour MP coming out today saying they will be

backing Brexit. As far as John man is concerned, because in his view

immigration is harming traditional working-class Labour constituencies.

That is what he is saying today. Thank you very much.

The United Nations says up to 90,000 civilians could be trapped

inside the Iraqi city of Falluja, which has been under so-called

Islamic State control for more than two years.

Access to water, food and medical supplies are limited

and as the fighting continues, many have tried to escape,

often risking their lives for their freedom.

We've heard stories about people being shot at whilst trying to leave

the besieged city and being used as human shields in the battle

between so-called IS and government forces.

It's rare to get an insight into life inside Falluja but one man

in the city has spoken to us on a poor quality phone line.

He didn't want to be identified but this is his story.

I am more than 50 years old. I have lived through lots of walls. There

has always been bombing and shelling. That is nothing new. But

it has never been like this. -- walls. There has been no electricity

for two years. No wages for a year. No food has come in for six months.

People have been chopping up their bedroom furniture to use it as fuel.

We can talk now to some Iraqis living in this country

who are all from Falluja and still have family

Omar Aldhaibani, who is with us from our Liverpool newsroom, has

family who escaped the fighting a month ago.

Bilal Al-Obaidi is in our Nottingham studio -

his family left Falluja last year when the fighting intensified.

And Alaa Ahmed Ajobory's father fled Falluja just two weeks ago.

Omar, your uncle escaped a month ago, what has he said life was like

inside Falluja? The situation there is miserable. Unfortunately, they

are still stuck in there, more than 90,000 people. There is a lack of

food, medicine and everything. 50 grams of flour is now ?750. This

expires. All the food expires. They are struggling to eat. The problem

is, people are surrounded by death from everywhere. They get one from

the sky. Isis will not let them escape. There is no safety corridor,

because if they escape, they will catch them or arrest them. Until

now, we have 750 people missing when they tried to escape. They go to the

Army, unfortunately. If they go from the Riverside, people tried to

escape from the river, they die by the river or they are getting shot

by Isis. The frustration is really miserable. People dying from hunger,

people dying from bombs, everything. We are trying to raise money to help

these people. ?30, can help more than 65 people, feeding more than 65

people. It is better than building schools. I am going next week to Al

Hadi city, 15 minutes from Falluja and thousands of people escaping and

displaced people from Falluja escaping to the city. They have no

food or medicine and they need your help. The government cannot do

everything. Sorry to interrupt, what you are talking about, somewhere

outside of Falluja, which is presumably easier to get into to

help. What about getting help to people inside Falluja, who have not

got supplies to survive on? Unfortunately, Falluja was blocked

more than six months ago, to be honest. To get there is so

difficult. I don't know how to explain it, it is blocked from the

Army and militia and Isis, you cannot compromise with them to let

any food going there. There is no safe way to let the people escape. I

don't know if there is a way to send food in. People need help. More than

90,000 people stuck in there. A lot of children, a lot of old people and

sick people. I wish there was a way to send the food but it is so

difficult to get inside. Bilal, you are originally from Falluja, your

siblings only managed to flee last year, you have been here for four

years, how difficult was it for them to escape? It is very difficult for

them to escape. Falluja is the nearest city to Baghdad. Because

most of the other cities, the neighbour cities are already taken

by Isis, people decided to go to Baghdad when they wanted to run away

from Falluja. The government, they didn't let them go to Baghdad and

they put them in a camp, which doesn't have any infrastructure. All

essential stuff like clean Walker, food or any other medical devices

and medical staff. People have suffered a lot and the government

didn't let them go to Baghdad, so they are stuck. Because of that,

most of them decided to go back to Falluja or stay in the camp. Only a

few people had the chance to go to Baghdad and they settled there. And

the Kurdistan area because the government didn't let them stay in

Baghdad. The excuse they used is all those people might be terrorists

themselves because they have come from a city controlled by Isis. Can

anyone living in Falluja have foreseen what would happen when Isis

first arrived? What was it like when Isis first arrived? Isis came and

took the city without fighting because all of the government forces

just withdrew from the city and left the building and most of their

weapons. So Isis fighters came in easily and took control of the city.

For the first few weeks and months, people, they didn't, you know, feel

like a very big change, because there was no fighting. Isis, they

didn't try to put their extremist rules in, in the first few weeks.

People stayed home. Because the government started bombarding the

city, even the hospitals, only one hospital in the city that everybody

uses, just been bombarded more than 20 times. So people, after that,

started thinking they have to go. To leave the city.

It is not easy to go anywhere out of the city, to Baghdad, order of the

safe areas of the country, so many people just stayed there and only

the lucky people that could run away in the few early months, they had

the chance to go and settle in Kurdistan areas. Thank you both very

much for joining us. Omar, you mentioned that you will be heading

off to Iraq. To stay in touch, both of you, and let us know how things

unfold. We will have all the latest news for you in a few moments. Don't

forget, you can get in touch with us any time on everything we're talking

about on the programme but right now let's catch up with the weather with

Ben. What a week it's been. We had some

really warm sunshine and some hefty downpours but things have slowly

begun to change today. We've seen a lot more cloud working in, as you

can see from this picture from one of our Weather Watchers in

Yorkshire, and at some places, sometimes, that will bring outbreaks

of rain but not all of the time. There is still a fair amount of dry

weather, particularly in parts of East Anglia and the south-east, and

northern Scotland should stay dry with some brightness but elsewhere,

fair amount of cloud, some showers, particularly through parts of

northern and then, North West Scotland, showery rain into the

North West. Temperatures down on where they have been but still loved

and -- muggy and humid. Some showery rain here and there but some lengthy

dry spells two, temperature is not falling far, 11 to 16, so quite ugly

start to tomorrow. Some dry spells, some bright spells, across eastern

areas and the far north-east of Scotland, some showers in places and

some of those could be heavy. Quite a muddy field across the south-east.

Gradually something a bit fresher rushing in towards western areas and

as we get to Sunday, a similar date it up some dry spells, some showers,

longer spells at times but it went been raining all the time.

Hello it's Friday, I'm Joanna Gosling.

Welcome to the programme if you've just joined us.

In less than an hour, the Queen will arrive

at St Paul's Cathedral in London for a thanksgiving service

I will continue to treasure and draw inspiration from the countless

kindnesses shown to me in this country and throughout the

Commonwealth. Thank you all. It's countdown to kick-off for Euro

2016 - with England, Wales and Northern Ireland

all hoping for success. I personally think England are

winning the group and Wales are second but I think Northern Ireland

and the Republic of Ireland have both done brilliantly to get to

where they've got. And a final farewell

to one of the greatest Muhammad Ali's funeral takes place

in his hometown of Louisville I'm the champion, I'm the real

champion. There will never be one like me.

Here's Annita in the BBC Newsroom with a summay of today's news.

-- summary. Thanks, Joanna, and good morning.

A national service of thanksgiving is being held this morning

at St Paul's Cathedral at the start of a weekend of events

marking the Queen's official 90th Birthday.

It will be attended by members of the Royal Family,

including the Duke of Edinburgh on his own 95th birthday.

This is the first of three days of celebrations to mark her official

birthday after she turned 90 in April.

Tomorrow it's the annual birthday parade Trooping

the Colour and on Sunday, there'll be street

We'll be live from St Paul's Cathedral in half an hour with full

The ex-partner of former EastEnders actress Sian Blake has

admitted murdering her and their two children.

Arthur Simpson-Kent, who's 49, pleaded guilty

The bodies of the actress and their two sons were found

at the family's south-east London home in January.

The family were reported missing in December.

Arthur Simpson Kemp was arrested at Heathrow Airport after being

extradited from Ghana. -- Simpson- Kent.

We can cross now to our reporter who is outside the court. Tell us what

has been happening. This morning was a very short

hearing. The victim's mother and sister read out as each of the

charges were read out to Arthur Simpson-Kent. He appeared wearing a

red T-shirt and greater houses and he simply answered guilty to each of

the three charges of murder for Sian Blake, the former EastEnders

actress, and her two sons, aged eight and four. Many will remember

this international manhunt for Arthur Simpson-Kent earlier this

year, after their bodies, the three bodies, were found in their back

garden in Erith in Kent. We were told by the judge today that Arthur

Simpson-Kent will appear here for sentencing on the 4th of October.

Thank you for that update. Leading figures from both the Leave

and Remain campaigns have been trading blows in a major

televised debate. Boris Johnson, was accused

of joining the Leave campaign solely But he insisted his side

were offering hope over fear. Senior Labour figures will today

tell the party's supporters that there will be tax rises,

spending cuts and a watering down of workers' rights

if Britain leaves the EU. Deputy leader Tom Watson and shadow

cabinet colleagues are suggesting up At the same time, the shadow home

secretary, Andy Burnham, has criticised Labour's campaigning

in the referendum. He said it was failing to get

through to the party's traditional voters, and the Remain

side could face defeat. The European football

championship gets under way in France today,

with the country still on the highest state of alert

after last November's terror England football fans have been

involved in violence in the southern city of Marseille, where their team

face Russia tomorrow. They clashed with locals before riot

police used tear gas That's a summary of the latest BBC

News - more at 10.30. The European Championship kicks off

in less than ten hours, And Sally is here with

the Sport and a look There'll be thousands of fans

in the fan park here behind me, Massive security operations will be

taking place across France for the duration of the tournament,

but the fans are focusing And I chatted with a couple

Northern Ireland fans ahead of their opening

match against Poland. This is the first time

Northern Ireland have ever qualified The last time we qualified

for a major tournament was 1986 in the World Cup,

so I've never actually been alive to see Northern Ireland

in a tournament so I can't wait. We've got tickets for all

the matches, so we just can't wait. They are the best

team in the world, so I've been watching

Northern Ireland matches with my dad, going

to all the matches. When we beat England 1-0

at Belfast, I was there, but to

actually qualify for the European Championships, I never

thought it was going I'm sorry to mention this but you

are in a terribly difficult group. How optimistic are you that

you will get out of it? We have 14 games going

into the competition so It is a tough group

with the likes of Poland and If we can get in the last 16,

we will take it from As long as we get out

of the group, I will be happy. So that's the fans -

and there'll be plenty more on the show shortly

from the supporters. Wales are in a major tournament

for the first time since 1958. They can boast the world's most

expensive player in their side, so has Gareth Bale been involved

in anything like this before? It's been a bit surreal,

I think, especially I think every time when a major

championship went on, I was always at home watching on TV,

and to actually be involved now is I think for us, we want to take it

all in and enjoy it. It's a new experience,

one we want to It's nice to be involved

in everything for a change and hopefully now we can

do the nation proud. So Wales play Slovakia

on Saturday, and then it's England's turn -

they play Russia. Alan Shearer knows what it's

like to take a leading role at a tournament,

following England's path to the semifinals of this

tournament 20 years ago. Two decades on, he expects

the current crop of players to play I think he knows his 11,

I think he has known his 11 for the last couple of weeks,

probably paying his cards Game against Portugal at Wembley

was disappointing, the system didn't really work that he was trying out,

so I'm assuming he's going to do something different about,

but all the preparation will have been done now and it's now over

to the A win and a good tournament for that

team would help reset Thanks, Sally. As Sally was

saying... The Euros get under way in France

today, with the country still on the highest state of alert

after last November's Seven million football fans

are expected to visit the ten host cities over the next few weeks,

against a background of industrial action by rail workers

and airline pilots.. Scotland aren't at the tournament,

but England, Wales and What are their chances? What is the

latest team news and good 18-year-old Marcus Rashford get to

start the first match? England's Marcus Rashford

as a five-year-old at A lot of hope on his young

shoulders. As you think of him today at the age of 18, what do you think?

Well, I think he's basically like Wayne Rooney when he was 18,

breaking through for England. I think he's got no fear, he's got

great movement on the football, and I think he'll serve us well and

he'll score goals for us if he gets played. He's got that hunger inside

him? You spotted him when he was just five, did new? Yeah, he was

just five and I took him on this particular game. What made me think

he was special is that in this particular game he only played for

either ten minutes each half or 15 minutes and he scored 12 goals and

he was doing spins and everything on the ball, and then started to set

all his team-mates up and we won the game 20-0 and it had never been done

at that age. That is absolutely incredible, so clearly his talent

marked him out. And determination, presumably, at that age, to keep on

going? Lui I think he was just naturally gifted. I don't even think

he realised how gifted he was as a youngster because he just stood out

over all the players and all the teams that he played against. So did

he become aware of that talent and get an ego at any stage? I'm sure he

did become aware of his talent but he's a very, very humble lad, as you

can see from his performances, what he puts on the field. To make it to

the top of anything, you don't just need raw talent, you do need that

determination as well. What do you see in him? Oh, definitely. What I

spotted in him was that he had everything, he had awareness,

determination. He was such a hard worker. He'd be at City as a

youngster, at United as a youngster and with me at Fletcher Moss, so he

would be having about four training sessions a week at that age. I saw a

lovely story about him saying about the first time he went into the

England dressing room and saw the other players wearing their shirt is

with their names on their backs and he just didn't believe it was real.

Of his free, it is very real, he is out there. What are your hopes for

him and the team? My hopes for him and the team are that Roy Hodgson

plays him and that he's got nothing to lose and that Marcus excels and

shines like Rooney did when he was a youngster because he's not got that

fear factor and he's got great movement off the ball and great

skill and he'll give Roy Hodgson everything that he's got in his

locker, so I think he should play him. Lets wait and see. Lets hope.

Thank you very much. Fingers crossed. Thank you very much.

Today, the world will say goodbye to the Greatest.

Muhammad Ali is being laid to rest later in his home town

In a moment, we will hear from someone who knew him, but first

let's hear his own words. This is Sam Cooke, as you can see,

like me he's pretty. A lot of people may think this

is an act or a show, but He learned to talk before

he was one-year-old. I want the world to know,

I'm so great this I'm the greatest thing

that ever lived. The trainer looked at him

at the beginning of the seventh

round and he said, get up, Sonny, get up

and Sonny said, "I'm no fool,

I'm staying on the stool." He will be in a bad fix

because I will knock him out Working on a record called

The Game Is All Here. Would you like to give us

a preview of this disc? Oh if he starts talking jive,

I'll get him in five. Well, number one, he is too ugly

to be the World Heavyweight Joe Frazier is so ugly,

his face should be donated to If he makes me sore,

he'll fall in four. He can't write no poems,

he can't predict no rounds and let me tell you, I'm not

conceited, and just convinced. If you keep talking about me,

Al get him in three. When he is fighting,

if you ever watch him in the ring, he drags

like that after his opponent. If that don't do, I will get him in

two. He talks too much, he is ugly. I am the true champion and they make

me the underdog. I will show them wrong, I am the champion, the real

champion, nobody like me. If you run, I will get him in one. I am

going to eat some raw meat, I am going to train. If don't want to

fight, he should stay home that night. I would like to say you are

not as dumb as you look. You saw me reveal the Ali shuffle. It is my new

dance to the world. How do you like that? I like that

very much. The girls tell me I am too pretty to be a fighter, I will

have to go into the recording world. Let's talk now to Kellie Maloney,

boxing manager and promoter, who met Muhammad Ali

a number of times. The greatest of all time? He

transcended boxing because of his personality. He transcended boxing

when he took on the American government. He was alone as a

fighter who insulted his opponents. He did it in a nice way, not like

they do it today. He brought intelligence and great humour.

People try to take him off, they are all impostors. He stood up for his

rights in the Vietnam War. That is the start of his legacy and legend.

The things he has done people don't know about our fantastic. You, at

the age of 14 went to see him, tell us about that. I bunked off school,

he was on the Old Kent Road. What stage was he in in his career? He

was still Cassius Clay, he was getting ready to fight Henry Cooper.

He could talk the hind legs off a donkey. The place was packed and I

knew Danny Hollands who used to work with him and he let me in to watch

him train because I always used to be there. It was amazing watching

him work. He was working hard and he was talking as much as he was

training. Everyone was in awe of him. It was unbelievable. I was

lucky to meet him later in life, unfortunately when he was ill. I met

him with Lennox Lewis when he was world champion. We went to a

function. It was unbelievable, the respect he paid two Lennox. He is

going to be a pallbearer? He had so much love and respect for Mohamed

Elneny, it was his idol. Tell us about the relationship he had. They

had a very special relationship. I had Lennox on the radio and how they

continued the friendship and he went to see Muhammad Ali with his wife.

He said he would joke about stealing Lennox's Y. And they would laugh and

joke. It was fantastic. He talked to anybody. The stories people don't

even know about him. In America he was training for a certain fight in

New York. He heard about a home in New York that was an old Jewish home

that was going to be closed down and the poor people were going to put

out on the street. After training, he got into his car, went down with

an American journalist who was always following him. He told the

journalist he wasn't allowed to write this story or print it, and he

handed over a 6-figure cheque so the home stayed open. Let's ring in Tony

Bellew, just crowned cruiserweight champion. Thank you for joining us.

What was Muhammad Ali to you? In my opinion, he is the greatest

sportsman that has ever graced the planet. One amazing humanitarian,

somebody who means a lot to everybody. I don't think there is a

place in the world Muhammad Ali hasn't touched or inspired, in my

opinion. His stand-up against the government and onto his sporting

achievements. You have to understand this is uncommon the height of his

fame walked away from everything because he believed in his own

rights and believed in staying away from the Vietnam War. You will never

see something like that again, it will be asking -- like asking Floyd

Mayweather to walk away from his fortunes because he believed in

something. It has never been seen or done before and it will never be

done again. An amazing man. For you growing up, was he part of the

inspiration for you that made you want to be a boxer? He is the

inspiration for every fighter, whether it is boxing, martial arts

or judo. Everybody looks up to Muhammad Ali, everybody idolises him

for what he did, what he stood for. If it wasn't for Muhammad Ali,

boxing with the an underground sport. He made it special. He put us

amongst the stars and the other celebrities, all because he was

outspoken. He was an amazing individual. The greatest sportsman

ever lived on one of the greatest humanitarians. I put him alongside

Mother Teresa and Martin Luther King, and then I would say Muhammad

Ali. He showed anybody, he wasn't even interested in boxing, it wasn't

about who can throw the hardest punches, but a mind game and about

the psychology? What Tony said, he was an absolute icon inside and

outside boxing. As people who was the greatest sportsman in the world

and they will say Muhammad Ali. He took boxing from the back pages. He

changed the whole face of boxing and I think he changed the way people

started thinking about boxing. He was a great person, a great civil

rights campaigner. He did so much for everyone in the world, no matter

what colour, creed or nationality. The whole game around the match that

Muhammad Ali enjoyed, Tony? It was all part of the fight, the pre-match

stuff? It was, he made it fashionable. Before Muhammad Ali,

nobody had ever heard of being loud at press conferences are winding

people up or public media workouts. It was unseen. Now when you see

these fighters doing these things, everybody says he is trying to be

like Muhammad Ali. There can only ever be one Muhammad Ali, he is the

greatest sportsman ever. I cannot say it enough, he is one of the

greatest individuals to have graced the sporting field because he stood

for so many different things. He took sport from the back pages and

made so much sense in what he said, the things he did. I feel Muhammad

Ali invented sarcasm. When you look back at the things he said and done,

he was hilarious, and man before his time. Thank you both for your

thoughts on Muhammad Ali, ahead of his funeral.

In a moment, we'll be handing over to Sarah Campbell

at St Paul's Cathedral for live coverage of the Queen's

Before that, we've just got time to hear about some of the many

The Queen has owned more than 30 corgis. The first was called Susan.

She has received animals as gifts or so, including two beavers from

Canada and an elephant from Cameroon. The Queen has also given

gifts, including over 90,000 Christmas puddings to her staff. But

beware, if you ever have dinner with her, if she places her handbag on

the table, the event must end within five minutes. The Queen has launched

21 ships during her lifetime. Send around 110,000 telegrams and

messages to centenarians, proved more than 3500 acts of Parliament

and sat for 129 portraits. The Queen sent her first e-mail in 1976 and

sent her first tweet in 2014. She has visited over 116 different

countries. But has never needed a British passport. She is said to be

worth around ?350 million. But Prince Philip reportedly has pet

names for her, including Cabbage and Sausage.

Steve Morely is planning a street party in Leeds tomorrow,

and Gugsy Ahmed is headteacher at a school in Halifax which is marking

Are you a big fan of the Queen? I have do admit to be a royalist. How

big is this street party going to be? Hopefully it will be bigger and

better. It is the third one, we are hoping to get 500 people on the

street tomorrow. Why did you want to organise this? Due to the success of

the previous two. They have been such great fun and everybody has had

a magnificent time. They seemed like the perfect opportunity to do the

one tomorrow. The weather doesn't look that great, are you hoping for

a good day tomorrow? Two hours ago it was pouring down. We are a bit

soaked, but it is getting better. We're hoping and praying for some

nice sunshine tomorrow. Fingers crossed, hope you have a great day

for it. Hope you have a lovely weekend, whatever you are doing. If

you are at a street party, have a relaxing weekend.

Victoria's back on Monday and she'll be looking at the gambling industry.
