good afternoon. borisjohnson has told the bbc that it's now "touch and go" whether the uk will leave the eu with a deal on october the 31st. speaking at the g7 summit in biarritz, the prime minister said he had to be prepared to leave without a deal in order to convince brussels that scrapping the current withdrawal agreement, and seeking new arrangements, is a necessity. the prime minister also admitted it would take more than a year to negotiate any future trade with the united states. he was speaking to our chief political correspondent vicki young who's in biarritz for us now.

this was the meeting that boris johnson wanted and downing street will be delighted president trump chose the british prime ministerfor his first set of bilateral talks. the big question is whether there is anything more than warm words and friendship, especially when it comes to clinching a trade deal. side by side to the american president and the man he says is the right person to deliver brexit. borisjohnson right person to deliver brexit. boris johnson says right person to deliver brexit. borisjohnson says there are massive opportunities for british business ifa opportunities for british business if a trade deal can be done but critics say it could take years. the us and british team sat down for a working breakfast with donald trump promising a big trade deal that could be done quickly. a very big trade deal, bigger than we have had with the uk. when i spoke to the prime minister he was optimistic.

the americans are ambitious to get this done and they want results, within a year i suppose, by next june orjuly. we are keen to go as fast as we can but we want this to bea fast as we can but we want this to be a really big comprehensive trade deal. there is no point having a deal. there is no point having a dealjust on agriculture, industrial goods and so on. that is not where the real advantages are for the uk. experts say it cannot be done in a year. years and years is an exaggeration but to do it all within a year is going to be tight. what about a deal closer to home with the eu? boris johnson sat about a deal closer to home with the eu? borisjohnson sat down with the president of the european council today. i think it depends on eu friends and partners and i think in the last few days that there has been a sort of dawning realisation, in brussels and other european capitals, the shape of the problem is for the uk. have you detected

willingness? i am an optimist, but i do think they understand it. i think they understand that there is an opportunity to do a deal, but they also understand. i think it's going to be touch and go, but the important thing is to get ready to come out without a deal. i was going to ask you about that. that assists us. to ask you about that. that assists us. as you know it means that it helps us to convince our friends and partners of the necessity to do a deal but also minimises any disruption there may be on october the 31st. the main talks at the summit focus on the global economy and security, but brexit remains the most pressing issue for boris johnson. on that a no—deal brexit could be just over two months away. there has

not been much explanation from boris johnson or other ministers about what no deal will mean. people are concerned about fuel rationing, food shortages and access to medicines which i tried to pin down the prime minister about, asking if he could guarantee in a no deal scenario people would get access to medicines even with problems at the ports with imports and he said it was a guarantee he could make, the first time he has said that. brazilian troops are tackling the record number of wildfires in the amazon rainforest, with planes dropping water and chemicals in an attempt to extinguish the flames. president bolsonaro's government is promising to ease austerity measures in order to find extra money to tackle the emergency. our correspondent will grant has been on board a greenpeace plane and flown over some of the affected area. from this vantage point, you get a sense of the scale of the disaster facing this region of the amazon.

hectare after hectare of pristine forestjust going up in smoke. there must be thousands of hectares already, and it is a huge task for the troops who are supposedly reaching this region and who are going to try to tackle the problem, sent by president bolsonaro. this is the reason for the protests taking place in the large cities of brazil — in sao paulo, brasilia, in rio. and it's also caused the international outcry. this is a global crisis, because these are considered the lungs of the world. and, just on a human level, on an emotional level almost, it is extremely upsetting, extremely disturbing, to see this kind of devastation unfolding in front of you. will grant reporting there. riot police have fired tear gas and baton—charged protesters in hong kong. the latest clashes

come as the protests enter their twelth week. enter their twelfth week. they began in response to a controversial extradition bill but have since grown into broader anti—government demonstrations. new 3d baggage scanners will be introduced at all major airports in the uk by 2022, under government plans announced today. ministers say the technology will cut queues, boost security and will mean passengers will no longer have to remove laptops and liquids from their luggage as it's screened. our business correspondent katy austin has more. a familiar sight to air travellers — clear plastic bags to put your small liquids in while you go through airport security. laptops must be put in a separate tray. airports in some countries, particularly america, are already starting to use new, high—tech scanners for hand luggage. heathrow in london is investing £50 million in similar equipment, saying it could remove the needs for liquids and electricals to be taken out. it will be much quicker,

less disruptive, not having to take things out of bags, and people will be able to get on their way much more quickly. but it will also bring more security, which is really important. now, all major uk airports are being told they must have advanced 3d scanners by 2022. it is important we are using the best technology, we will have the best in the world once this is rolled out. one travel expert says passengers will notice a difference. imagine this — you are at security, you have forgotten to take out all your stuff, so that means your bag full of liquids, then you have your computer, and maybe a telephone. you have to take it all out and put each one in a separate tray. all of that takes time. even though we say to ourselves, "i'm ready", by the time we get to security most of us realise that we are not ready and there is a lot of faffing that takes place. heathrow believes the new technology could make going through security up to 60 times faster.

operators say introducing it could be a challenge for smaller airports. cricket now and england continues to fight back in the third test of the ashes series. the team began the day chasing just over 200 runs to win. from headingley, our sports correspondent andy swiss reports. they couldn't, could they? england's batsmen emerged to a wave of headingley hope, needing 203 runs for one of cricket's greatest comebacks. australia, though, were soon ramping up the pressure. ben stokes struck by a bouncer, dislodging his neck guard, he was cleared to continue but with the tension building, england finally cracked. joe root gone for 77 to a quite spectacular catch from david warner, the wicket australia so sorely needed had england's hopes departed with their captain. well, runs were certainly hard to come by, stokes, normally such

an aggressive player, rarely coming out of his shell. but new batsmanjonny bairstow was more positive, at last, breaking the australian shackles and giving the england fans something to cheer. it wasn't always entirely convincing, but as long as the total kept rising, they didn't mind. the 200 greeted with a deafening ovation, headingley clearly still believed. and this made them even happier as australia's bowlers started to toil, a six from stokes, there is still a long way to go but england supporters will be hoping that miracles really do happen. the latest is that at lunch, england are 238—4, which means they need another 121 runs to win with six wickets remaining. if they can do it, it would be a record—breaking run chase and they have a real

chance. we are in for a nerve—racking afternoon. let's hope they will do it on a full stomach! thank you. you can see more on all of today's stories on the bbc news channel. the next news on bbc one is at 6:30 — bye for now. hello. you're watching the bbc news channel with me, shaun ley. let's return to the g7 meeting in biarritz. in the last few minutes we've received pictures from the meeting between boris johnson and the president of the european council. let's hear what they had to say. let me tell you that so far in this g7,

i think it would be fair to say, donald, you and i have spent most of those conversations income fleet agreement on most of the issues raised, whether it is free trade, or russia, or iran. hong kong. a demonstration of the closeness of the uk to our european friends which will persist beyond october the sist, will persist beyond october the 31st, whatever happens. yeah, i couldn't agree more. that's the spirit! thank you very much. at least a agree on something. —— at least a agree on something. —— at least they agree on something. earlier the prime minister told the bbc that the chances of the uk striking a brexit deal with the eu before october 3! are ‘touch and go'.

he's been speaking to our chief political correspondent vicki young and she began by asking him what the timeline was for a trade deal, between the uk and the united states. the americans want this done as fast as possible and they want results within a year, by nextjune orjuly. we are keen to go as fast as we can, but we want this to be a really big, thoroughgoing, comprehensive trade deal. there is no point in having a deal just in agriculture, industrial goods and so on. that's not where the real advantages are for the uk. i have been telling donald trump about some of the barriers that british service industries experience, whether transportation, shipping, lawyers, architects. they face all sorts of nontariff barriers getting into the uk market, to say nothing of the restrictions that america still has on british lamb, british beef, pork pies, cauliflower. getting it done in one year, that's not realistic, is it?

i will be honest, i have watched america's trade negotiations over many years and these are tough guys. i have a great deal of respect for the way the americans do it. have you made any further steps towards this apart from a meeting this morning? there is a group up and running already, but we will accelerate that massively. when will we see the first fruits of this? something concrete? you are pushing me to make a commitment to a date, which i am reluctant to do because i have bitter experience. the experts say it can't be done in a year. years and years is an exaggeration, but to do it in a year will be tight. five years? we will do it faster than that. to get it all than a year will be a big ask.

lets turn to a possible deal closer to home with the eu. do you think now that leaving without a deal is more likely than it was? i think that it all depends on our eu friends and partners. actually, in the last few days, i think there has been a dawning realisation in brussels and other european capitals that... what the shape of the problem is for the uk. i think everybody gets it by now. it's to do with that withdrawal agreement, to do with the fact that under the current terms we would be kept locked in the eu legal order, locked in the trading system, and without any say on those things. that can't work for an economy in a great country like the uk. you said repeatedly, a million to one. it depends on their willingness to cooperate and the common sense of our partners. have you detected more willingness?

i'm an optimist. i do think they understand that there is an opportunity to do a deal,... so it's more likely than it was, do you think? i think it's going to be touch and go. you are meeting donald tusk. will you say to his face that you will not hand over the billions of pounds that have already been agreed i think you know is that the reality is, if we come out without a deal, then clearly the 39 billion is, is, is part of that deal. are you willing to pay any of it? what i have said repeatedly is that we will have substantial sums from the 39 billion, a substantial residue... you are willing to pay some? eight billion? a substantial residue to pay, whether to support our farming businesses or all types of investments to get britain ready

for the world beyond brexit. the other thing about the world beyond brexit that we don't talk enough about are the opportunities to do things differently, to regulate in a different way, to have free ports and do free trade deals. to put our country on a different path, a less bureaucratic path. we have been talking about growth and what is wrong with the global economy, and so much of it is to do with overregulation, the economies that don't have high productivity, that aren't focusing on the real opportunities, and if we get brexit done properly, i think it will be a big, big chance for us in the uk to have a change of direction and to boost growth and prosperity. british airways has apologised after admitting it mistakenly told some passengers their flights were cancelled. pilots are going on strike on the 9th, 10th and 27th next month, but some customers with flights on other days were wrongly asked to re—book, or get a refund. ben waell was told on friday his honeymoon flights were cancelled, and has been unable to speak

to anyone at the company. we are flying out on the ninth, one of the strike days, first thing in the morning, to naples. my fiance andi the morning, to naples. my fiance and i get married on the friday before, and we've basically been told that flight has been cancelled. we tried to go online to change the booking, that didn't work, so i called up the line, and i think i've called up the line, and i think i've called over 200 times now and basically they are not even putting you on hold. you're getting disconnected. that is ben pai well, shortly to be a groom but currently without a honeymoon. katie austin is here. we were talking about this story yesterday, and it seemed relatively straightforward but has now got very complicated. the tale of confusion developed over the course of yesterday. there was the initial problem that lots of people we re initial problem that lots of people were trying to get in touch with ba

and finding it incredibly hard to do so. and finding it incredibly hard to do so. one lady told me she had called more than 67 times and only got through briefly. others haven't been able to book online as they thought they had to do. in the afternoon and evening, some people given a cancellation e—mail were sent another e—mail saying, your flight hasn't been cancelled and it is going ahead. some people watched with alarm and watched as other —— some people watched with alarm as other flights got booked up. people we re other flights got booked up. people were left wondering, i know going to... they shelled out for two flights? two flights with different airlines. british airways apologised for what it calls an error. it says that anyone who incurred additional expenses as a direct result should get in touch and will be dealt with on an individual basis. in other

words, it is not a blanket guarantee? they will on other cases caused by them, which is good news for customers. that's right. yesterday, they said it was on an individual basis. people got in touch with us today concerned about whether they would get a refund on either one of these flights. british airways have confirmed that if you have booked an alternative flight, they will refund you provided you provide receipts. british airways is also keen to give statistics on how busy its customer lines were. they say there were 38,000 phone calls in 24 say there were 38,000 phone calls in 2a hours as people try to get clarification. it looks like a mess of ba's own making. they are keen to apologise, but customers won't be happy until they have a flight definitely booked and a refund if one is due. and frustration at the

inability to talk to people. they say they have had people working all weekend and all the rest, but given the scale of the problem, it has not been enough to give people the reassurance of personal service. communication does appear to have been the issue. ba said on friday that the strike that the pilots' union has called that it will cause disruption to tens of thousands of passengers, but it seems the communication problems have caused earlier disruption and it will hope to get on top of that as soon as it can. police in hong kong have used tear gas and water cannons to try to disperse pro—democracy protesters. it's been reported that demonstrators refused to move on at the end of a planned march and have been throwing petrol bombs from behind makeshift barricades. our china correspondent stephen mcdonell spoke to us from the scene in hong kong. the truce, if there was one, between hardline pro—democracy activists and the riot police, whom you can probably see forming behind me, is now well and truly over.

there are dozens of riot police and now more coming. i can see them filling in the ranks. we've had a large pitched battle here for a round about an hour. molotov cocktails, bricks, metal poles, and the police are responding with non—lethal projectiles of their own. and it is not deterring them. you can see they keep charging in, these protesters. firing their own projectiles at the police and the police then responding with tear gas, with rubber bullets, and the strange thing is, it has taken them so long to clear these protesters. this sort of thing was happening weeks ago but hadn't been recently, and we are now back to something like the pitched battles we were seeing.

there are thousands of protesters here and it gives you an idea of how many of the city's youth have been radicalised by this process. they are prepared to come out with the threat of arrest and the police firing rubber bullets and tear gas at them, and still you can see how they are preparing here for battle. there is talk that the reason the police have taken so long to clear them is that they are preparing to use water cannon. they have acquired water cannon vehicles that they haven't used yet, and that is a possibility. there is an attempt by some in the pro—democracy movement to return to peaceful protest. there are a majority,

i would say, in the pro—democracy camp sticking to that, but there is a very solid hardcore here who think peace is not the way to go. they say hong kong's leader, carrie lam, has done nothing to meet any of their demands, including fully withdrawing this very unpopular bill allowing extradition to mainland chinese courts, including having an enquiry into all of this, into the police, the protesters, and funnily enough, we had another rally today, family members of the police, strangely you might think, also calling for an enquiry. the police force and the unions have been distancing themselves from these families, in their hundreds. they feel that the police have been caught in a sandwich of this crisis. they want a political solution, much like these protesters.

you can see how many of them are here. they want a political solution, but their version of a solution is full democracy, one person, one vote democracy, universal suffrage, and it is not something beijing is going to give to them in a hurry. if anybody thought this movement was going to peter out before coming to an end, that is certainly not the case. a man in his 30s remains in hospital under police guard after being arrested on suspicion of murder. it follows the fatal stabbing of a man in his 60s in southall this evening. police and paramedics were called to st mary's avenue at around 6.40pm. the victim was initially treated for a stab wound — but died at the scene. multiple road closures remain in force. the uk's only active fracking site has experienced its second earthquake in a week. the tremor last night was the largest recorded at the lancashire site,

measuring 2.1 on the richter scale. the previous record was 1.5, set on wednesday. energy firm cuadrilla say last night's tremor lasted around a second and happened at eleven o clock, while fracking was not taking place. over a million people are expected at the notting hill carnival in west london over the next two days. a 72—second silence will be held today to remember those who died in the fire at nearby g re nfell tower. greg mckenzie is in notting hill now. greg, we can hear the music behind you. the atmosphere is kicking in. it is children's day today, usually quite a it is children's day today, usually quiteafun it is children's day today, usually quite a fun day. good afternoon. it is indeed children's day at the notting hill carnival. full swing, it started a few hours ago, and many people simply enjoying the sunshine, the caribbean music, the food, and of course, lots and lots of dancing.

the carnival started here more than 50 yea rs the carnival started here more than 50 years ago. it was introduced by the windrush generation, so many of them here today to celebrate all things caribbean. as you mentioned earlier, there was a 72—2nd silence held to remember the 72 people who lost their lives during the grenfell fire disaster that happened two yea rs fire disaster that happened two years ago. the building itself is literally about half a mile from the carnival route. many of the families of the victims who i've spoken to over the years have told me many of them did attend the carnival regularly. today is really about remembering them on this day, and it is children's day, so the floats will go past behind me, and there are will go past behind me, and there a re lots of will go past behind me, and there are lots of children dancing. they are lots of children dancing. they are competing to be named best

dressed costume. there are about 15,000 costumes you can see across the two days. carnival will wrap up at about 8pm this evening, and tomorrow, that is when the adults come out to play, and we are expecting another record—breaking bank holiday weekend in terms of the weather. are you getting your costu me weather. are you getting your costume out later, then? i've got my costu me costume out later, then? i've got my costume in my bag, so i'm going to change a bit later. it's way too hot for the shot, so i will have to go and buy a t—shirt for later on. i'm going to be here right through till 10pm tonight. greg, have a great time. we look forward to seeing you later. a change of costume — that is something to stay tuned for. it is all changing on the bbc news channel. the weather is changing.

the met office has announced it has reached a new record for the bank holiday weekend. 31.6 celsius was recorded at heathrow earlier. forecasters expect temperatures to rise further on monday with a top temperature of 33 celsius in the south—east of england. this summer, the uk has hit its highest ever temperature, at cambridge injuly. not always good news for everyone when it gets that hot, so if you don't like those temperatures, i hope you can find somewhere to shelter. let's get the latest on how it is looking from chris, who is at the weather map. you are not overd ressed the weather map. you are not overdressed for being in a cold studio, but looking at greg there, it is obvious that the weather is getting warmer as the afternoon progresses. you were talking about the record at heathrow. you can get temperatures increasing up to 4pm and 5pm at this

time of year, because temperatures are still rising. it is all about the heat, a hot and sunny day for the heat, a hot and sunny day for the vast majority of us, with blue sunny skies like these adorning the derbyshire peak district. there are a few exceptions to the sunny story, a few exceptions to the sunny story, a little cloud coming into western wales and towards some of the coast of south—west england, keeping things a little fresher here. otherwise, hot and sunny, temperatures of 32 and 33 celsius around london before the end of the afternoon. overnight, we will have temperatures that will be slow to fall. a warm night for sleeping, temperatures in townsend cities of 18-21dc. temperatures in townsend cities of 18—21dc. tomorrow, subtle changes, more cloud in western areas, moving into scotland, and that is a weak cold front. temperatures will ease in northern and western areas throughout the day. edinburgh, 21

celsius with sunny spells. still hot and sunny across central and eastern england, temperatures even higher — 33 celsius on the charts through monday afternoon. but your weather. —— that's your weather.
