this is bbc news, i'm lewis vaughan jones. the headlines at 2pm. donald tusk warns borisjohnson against forever being known as "mr no deal", and says the eu will not co—operate with leaving europe without an agreement. i still hope that prime minsiter johnson would not like to go down in history as mr no deal. president trump joins other world leaders in the french resort of biarritz for the g7 summit. the fires burning in the amazon are among the issues to be discussed by g7 leaders, as brazil's president orders troops to be sent in, to help fight the blazes. tens of thousands of british airways passengers could be affected as pilots are to strike next month, in a dispute over pay. medical leaders call for more to be done

about the ongoing shortage of hormone replacement therapy. it's not looking good for england's hopes of regaining the ashes, they need 359 in the third test at headingley. and coming up talking movies explores the role of the producer in both big hollywood productions and smaller independent films. the european council president, donald tusk, has warned that the eu will not co—operate with boris johnson on a no—deal brexit. speaking in biarritz, where the g7 summit is being held, mr tusk said this weekend may be the last chance to restore unity among the world's main industrial nations.

leaders of most of the world's largest economies make up the g7, the uk, canada, france, germany, italy, japan and the us all take part in the summit. issues on the agenda in the coming days include the global economy, tackling inequality, and responding to the challenges of the digital age and the rise of artificial intelligence. yesterday, french president, emmanuel macron, who is hosting the summit, and german chancellor angela merkel said the fires in brazil's amazon rainforest must be part of discussions. leaders have been touching down at biarritz airport ahead of the g7 summit. one of the first to arrive was the japanese prime minister shinzo abe, who landed this morning with his wife akie. shortly after, us president donald trump arrived aboard air force one, together with his wife melania. before leaving the us, he had repeated his threat to impose tariffs on french wine.

however the issue did not come up when the pair spoke to the cameras ahead of a lunch meeting a short time later. the pair reiterated that they get on well but have had their differences. donald trump added he hoped the summit would accomplish a lot. brexit is likely to be a key issue at the summit and a little earlier european council president donald tusk, who will meet boris johnson on sunday, said that the eu is "willing to listen" to the prime minister's ideas for brexit — the one thing i will not cooperate on, is no deal. and i still hope that mrjohnson would not like to go down in history as mr no deal.

we continue to pictures of boris johnson arriving in biarritz. his first international summit as uk prime minister. he isjust touching down, being metand prime minister. he isjust touching down, being met and shaking hands. he has insisted before this summit started that this was not a moment for the uk to be withdrawing from the international stage. despite his pledge that the uk will be withdrawing from the european union on 31st of october. he is just speaking to reporters in press, just getting off the plane life. he has already been mentioned by donald tusk. donald tusk, president of the

european council, who he will be meeting on sunday, has said that this is now the third by minister, the third british by minister they have had talks with about brexit. the absolutely want cooperate on an issue of no deal. that is the uk withdrawing without any kind of deal. he added that he hopes that mr johnson does not go down as mr no deal. he said he hopes the british prime minister would not be remembered as the prime minister who withdrew the uk without any kind of deal in place. you can see him speaking to reporters. let us take a listen and see if we can hear them at all. you want to see you want to preserve biodiversity. can there be any hope of a trade deal with brazil, brazil seems to be taking

steps... we will do everything we can to support the brazilians, to... trade deal, at thisjuncture? are all sorts of people who will take any excuse at all to interfere with free trade. and i don't want to... you could just about hear some other words from him, it was a bit difficult to hear as you can understand. the wind and the aeroplane noise and the cameras clicking. he will make his way from the airport where he has just touched down in biarritz to the g7 summit where he will be meeting fellow leaders from the us, donald trump, who we have already seen. canada, france, japan and italy are expected as borisjohnson makes his way to the car for the summit this

weekend. lots of big issues for all the big leaders to be discussing. the idea of these g7 summits is to try and find solutions to international problems. and solutions are tricky to come by. the last g7 didn't exactly end well. donald trump left that one early without much resolution. and this time, this is being hosted by emmanuel macron who has already admitted that he won't even attempt admitted that he won't even attempt a joint communique at the end. that isa a joint communique at the end. that is a joint statement where the leader releases what they have agreed on and this time it does not seem agreed on and this time it does not seem like it will be attempted. let alone see anything. but there is still optimism, they will be talking about a range of issues. the fires in the amazon had been dominating the headlines. they have been —— will be talking about the economy. the ways in which big economies can

come together to try and sort some issues. but of course, china notable by its omission. russia as well. the british by minister being escorted away from the airport as we have seen away from the airport as we have seen from other world leaders so far. the summit will kick off with a meal this evening, hosted by emmanuel macron. our diplomatic correspondent, james landale is in biarritz. here's his analyis of the chance of agreement on anything at this summit. well, president macron certainly hopes so. he wants to use the summit to, in his words, revive the spirit of multilateralism. and so he wants to see if he can come up with some kind of collective action on tackling the forest fires in the amazon, or more broadly on the climate change. on trade, global trade wars, that are taking place at the moment and maybe

on iran, as well. and the tensions in the gulf at the moment. the problem is i think you will find it very he will find it very difficult to achieve any agreement on all those issues, there is disagreement between the united states, and some european nations. and so i think it will be very hard for him to get something over the line that is unanimous with all seven members. that is why, for example, he has already admitted he is not going to have a communique at the end of this particular summit. donald tusk, the eu council president said the summit will be a difficult test of solidarity and unity for the world. mr tusk, as you said, also had a pretty clear message for boris johnson, who he is going to be meeting for the first time tomorrow. when mrjohnson comes here later this afternoon, his first big moment, his first big steps on the international stage, as prime minister, he is going to be meeting mr tusk to discuss brexit. mr tusk said very clearly, look, the eu will listen to any ideas the british have that are acceptable, operational and realistic. but he said there will be absolutely no cooperation on no deal. so mrjohnson, i think,

has a pretty tough ask here. he has got to try and reach out to the americans, to give the sense that some kind of uk—us trade deal is possible in the future. but at the same time, he can't go so far that he upsets a lot of his european allies. on whom he is actually on the same page on all of the other issues. anti—globalisation and climate activists have teamed up with yellow vest protesters and basque nationalists in what they're calling a counter g7 summit. they've gathered in cities in france and irun in spain, on the french—spanish border. they're protesting at economic and climate policies pursued by the world's leading industrial countries and to promote alternatives. well, as james was saying, the fate of the amazon rainforest is high on the g7‘s agenda. late last night, in the face of growing international pressure, the president of brazil, jair bolsonaro, ordered the country's armed forces

to help tackle them. the fires are scattered widely across the amazon, most notably in the north of brazil. andy moore has the story. there have been angry protests outside brazilian embassies across south america. in mexico city... in santiago in chile... and in colombia, where indigenous people were among the demonstrators. translation: i feel very sad, because the earth is our mother and what is happening in brazil. the president of brazil needs to stop the fires. we live from the earth because she is the one who gives us food. at the g7 summit, there was an offer of european financial help to fight the fires. the burning amazon rainforest has become another depressing sign of our times. and mr tusk warned a trade treaty with south american countries was at risk. it is hard to imagine a harmonious

process of ratification by the european countries as long as the brazilian government allows for the destruction of the green lungs of planet earth. the pressure from europe and the protesters has persuaded the brazilian president to change course. in a televised address last night, he said he would send in the troops to help fight the fires and crack down on illegal deforestation. translation: all the countries have expressed solidarity with brazil. they have offered to help tackle the wildfires and have also offered to take brazil's position to the g7 meeting. wildfires can happen anywhere and they should not be used as a pretext for international sanctions. more than 700 new fires have started in brazil this week alone. has mr bolsonaro done enough to persuade the international community he is taking the problem seriously? andy moore, bbc news.

and there can be lots of waiting around. now, we all know what it's like to arrive on holiday at your destination, to arrive in the passport hall and be greeted by queues to get your passport scanned. they're a nightmare, 30 minutes, an hour. well, new technology means that could be the thing of the past when our passports go onto our phones. this kiosk is called protect. it's the start of a contactless id system designed by a group of companies and academics to speed up our transition across borders. after downloading an app to your phone, you register your passport with itjust once. now it's going to ask you just to look into the camera and this is just simply to make a match between the passport photo and your live image. so your identity has been now verified, so that's been — the link has been established. in a moment, this will be confirmed on the screen. this has now been done. and your mobile phone now says you've been enrolled.

140 million passengers arrived at the uk border in 2017 and that is expected to double by 2050. but airports cannot double in size, so they need to process us faster so we arrive and leave much quicker. the advantage of this is that passengers can choose to use it, and if they are low—risk and eligible — that's to say you can come through too much examination — then they can go through and not stop — they canjust keep walking. whereas the rest of the passengers who have to be seen can go to the normal control. the security of our data has never been under such scrutiny. the designers of protect insist safeguards are in place and information is encrypted. but other questions remain. what if your battery dies? what if you have brought the wrong smartphone? and can the biometric tunnel be fooled ? i'm going to test whether the passport application works, but i'm going to try and trick it with this mask. the developers say the system

is ready for implementation, and the home office says it continues to investigate the application of new and emerging technologies at uk borders. we'rejust gonna see. i'm hoping it did not recognise me. that's right. it is a big negative. none of us like to queue, even though we are so good at it. but are we ready to replace them with a hassle—free biometric future? simon browning, bbc news. now, let's have a look at the raf display team flying over new york city. the red arrows have joined their us counterparts in a historic flight down new york's hudson river and around the statue of liberty. it was the first time the combination ofjets had been brought together in such a way. the team, based at raf scampton, near lincoln, are on a tour of north america to promote the uk. the english football league has agreed to work with bury football club and a potential

the agenda. a big task ahead to find any agreement. that gets under way this evening, hosted by emmanuel macron. now it's time for a look at the weather with chris fawkes. continuing with the theme of very hot weather through much of the weekend for most parts of the uk. today, no exception. most of us seeing sunny skies that we have a strip of cloud out of the north and west, bringing a few occasional showers into the far north and west of scotland. for most of us, it is dry and very warm. temperatures pushing on into the low 30s in the very hottest parts. overnight tonight after such a warm day, temperatures will be slow to fall away and indeed around ten or 11 o'clock, we are looking at temperatures still around 18 or 20 degrees so it will be a warm night for sleeping. not to humid for many of us. as we look at the weather into sunday, it is a repeat
