oui’ clear up some of the obstacles in our path. the uk's biggest airports will install sd baggage scanners to make security checks quicker. 40,000 troops begin a major operation to fight fires in the amazon. we report from above the brazillian rainforest. it's a huge task for the troops who are supposedly reaching this region. this is a global crisis because these are considered the lungs of the world. and ‘focus on farming' examines issues facing uk agriculture,s including brexit and climate change. that's in half an hour, here on bbc news. 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 to scrap the current withdrawal agreement. the prime minister, who this morning had his first face—to—face meeting as prime minister with president trump, also admitted it would take more than a year to negotiate any future trade deal with the united states. he was speaking to our chief political correspondent vicki young. side by side, the american president and the man he says is the right person to deliver brexit. borisjohnson says there are massive opportunities for british businesses if a trade deal can be done. but critics say that could take years. we are working on a fantastic deal. the us and british teams sat down for a working breakfast. donald trump promising a very big trade deal that could be done very quickly. a very big trade deal, bigger than we've ever had with the uk. when i spoke to the prime minister, he was optimistic.

well, the americans are very ambitious to get this done as fast as possible and they really want results you know, within a year i suppose 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's no point in having a deal injust agriculture, industrial goods and so on. that's not where the real advantages are for the uk. the experts say it can't be done in a year, it's going to take years? well, i think years and years is an exaggeration, but i think to do it all within a year is going to be tight. but what about a deal closer to home with the eu? mrjohnson also sat down with the president of the european council today. i think that all depends on our eu friends and partners. i think actually, the last few days, there has been a sort of dawning realisation in brussels and other european capitals, you know what the shape

of the problem is for the uk. have you detected more of a willingness? look, i think, i'm an optimist but i do think that they... it's going to take a bit more than optimism isn't it? i do think that they understand that there is an opportunity to do a deal. but they also understand... so is it more likely than it was, do you think? 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 is something that greatly assists us in a couple of ways, as you know. it means that it helps us to convince our friends and partners of the necessity to do a deal, but it also minimises any disruption that there may be on october the 315t. the main talks at the summit are focusing on the global economy and security. but brexit remains the most pressing issue for boris johnson.

in the past hour, we've received pictures from the meeting between boris johnson and the president of the european council. lets hear what they had to say. let's hear what they had to say. let me tell you that so far in this g7, i think it'd be fair to say donald, you and i have spent most of the conversations in completely glutinous agreement on most of the issues that have been raised. whether it was free trade, or russia, or iran, i can't think, what else? hong kong, the demonstration of the closeness of the uk to our european president which should assist beyond october the 31st whatever happens. yeah, i couldn't agree more. that's the spirit. thank you very much. vicky young is in biarritz for us. from your conversation with the

prime minister, vicky, what do you highlight? it is interesting he detects a shift in the conversations with emmanuel macron and angela merkel last week. that he and downing street do feel those conversations about a new brexit deal, they might be ready to start. they could be meaningful and that has obviously come from a position where, for a very long time eu, brussels have said we are not opening the withdrawal agreement. but borisjohnson thinks they can be a deal but wants to carry on preparing for no deal. that is still the interesting thing. we are talking about just the interesting thing. we are talking aboutjust over two months, borisjohnson made talking aboutjust over two months, boris johnson made it talking aboutjust over two months, borisjohnson made it clear he will leave with or without a deal at the end of october. the prospect of that no deal and what it means for people is still something that is hard to pin down. he wasn't really willing to explain what it might be. in the past he has talked about it being bumpy and about there being bumps on

the road. does that meanjob bumpy and about there being bumps on the road. does that mean job losses, does it mean fuel rationing, fuel shortages? it is very hard to know. idid shortages? it is very hard to know. i did manage to get a guarantee about medicines. lots of people concerned that if things are snarled up concerned that if things are snarled up at the border because of customs checks they won't be able to get the essential medicines they need. i said could he guarantee people will get a ccess said could he guarantee people will get access to them? he said it was a guarantee he could make, which is the first time he has done that. he believes the nhs and access to medicines will continue to run smoothly, even in the event of a no—deal brexit. smoothly, even in the event of a no-deal brexit. there are chances of a no—deal brexit, not so long ago, coming out of his mouth, it was a million to one chance but that has changed in his view? yes, going from a million to one, a deal will be incredibly easy to get, we are at the point where he says a deal is touch and go. he cannot be sure of that. some people think parliament will stop it from happening. it is

not entirely clear they are sure they can do that. his argument and downing street's argument is we continue to prepare for no deal firstly, because they feel that as a negotiating position, it helps convince the eu that we are serious about it so if we are ready to do it, it will give a similar average. we have to be ready for the disruption. he said at some point we will disentangle ourselves from the eu, even if we get a deal so we need to make the preparations anyway and they won't be wasted. the meeting with donald tusk, we played the clip ina with donald tusk, we played the clip in a moment ago and the emphasis on that was all the areas we agree on, but clearly the one they don't agree on is arguably more important? yes, it is. this is donald tusk, a man who said there was a special place in hell for those who have put forward the idea brexit without a plan to do it safely. at the time, eve ryo ne plan to do it safely. at the time, everyone really thought he was

aiming that people like boris johnson. so there was some tension there yesterday, another spot where donald tusk said surely mrjohnson didn't want to go down as mr no deal. what you can see is a preparation of the blame in case no deal happens and you can hear mr johnson is saying, it is up to the eu. they know parliament has rejected the withdrawal agreement and the northern ireland backstop, it is completely unacceptable to the uk, it has been rejected three times and something will have to change. if they don't compromise, they will be blamed for no deal. that is not how the eu sees it. they think this isa uk how the eu sees it. they think this is a uk problem and they have compromised on things, the backstop was a compromise for the eu, it was something the uk government wanted. but it was a different regime and prime minister. things have changed, but in the end someone will have to compromise. no one thinks there will be any kind of breakthrough and the date in the diary some are looking

at in downing street is the 17th of october which is an eu summit, which is also pretty close to the departure date. vicki young, thank you very much. a line breaking news, not a great deal of detail but this is coming in from majorca being reported by the government of the balearic islands, official confirmation nowjust after 1:30pm there had been an air accident between a helicopter and what is described as an ultralightweight aircraft in inca in majorca. five people are now confirmed dead. one of them a child. emergency services it says, acting, so emergency services it says, acting, so assuming they are heading to the scene all at the scene dealing with the aftermath of that. but an accident between a helicopter and an ultralightweight plane in majorca, five people confirmed dead. we will bring you more on that when we have it. 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. joining me now from ringwood in hampshire is caroline payne. caroline, tell us your situation. the situation was that we got an e—mail, i think it came to in the early hours of the morning saying oui’ early hours of the morning saying ourflight had early hours of the morning saying our flight had been cancelled. that was it. so you know, we thought my goodness, what are we going to do? tried to phone ba, couldn't get through. nojoy, tried to phone ba, couldn't get through. no joy, so tried to phone ba, couldn't get through. nojoy, so we tried to phone ba, couldn't get through. no joy, so we thought we had better rebook because otherwise we have a lot of arrangements to alter. so we rebooked to air canada at great expense. where where you due to be going? to seattle on the 8th of september. he rebooked with air canada at significant cost, so where do you stand now?|j

air canada at significant cost, so where do you stand now? i would like to speak to ba, but it is virtually impossible because every time you ring, it is either you cannot get through. we managed to get through and press number one, whatever it was we had to press and then the phone went dead. we have still got to co nta ct phone went dead. we have still got to contact ba oh them to contact us, would be nice. you are now under the impression, am i right in saying, the flight you thought was cancelled is now back on? yes, then in the evening we got another e—mail saying the flight is back on. ok, you now have got potentially the ba flight that you had originally and an air canada flight and you are how much out of pocket? 2500. any word on what might happen to that 2500? no. what would you like from ba at this point? i would like a flight and a

refund. the efforts to do that are involving what, from your point of view? i would like ba to phone me, why should i have to be on the phone all the time trying to get hold of them. we are their customers, they should be phoning us, apologising and sorting it out one way or another. when you first heard the strikes were going to happen, whether any question in your mind at that point as to whether you might be affected? with the cancellation? yes. all the pilot's strike. the pilot strike, when it was announced, did you have doubts it would happen? no, the pilot strike was supposed to be on the ninth, ourflight no, the pilot strike was supposed to be on the ninth, our flight was no, the pilot strike was supposed to be on the ninth, ourflight was on the eighth, so we thought it was fine. the flight coming back was going to miss the strike, so we thought great, we are going to miss this. then the early hours of the

next morning we got the e—mail. saying the flight was cancelled. listen, you are not alone, i am sure thatis listen, you are not alone, i am sure that is no consolation, plenty of others in the same boat. i hope you get somejoy in others in the same boat. i hope you get some joy in the next 2a hours or so get some joy in the next 2a hours or so and things pan out for you. get some joy in the next 2a hours or so and things pan out for youlj so and things pan out for you.” would like ba to contact us. so and things pan out for you.” would like ba to contact usm so and things pan out for you.” would like ba to contact us. if you are watching, ba, there is caroline, she would like a call. let's stay with matters of aviation... 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 site 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 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 and a separate tray.

all of that takes time. even though we say to ourselves, "i'm ready", by the time we get the 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. airport as operators say introducing it could be a challenge for smaller airports. joining me now is the independent‘s travel editor simon calder. we will talk about security in a minute, but let's talk about british airways and use of the conversation i had with caroline, what should ba have done in this situation? the omnishambles is the only way to describe it. friday afternoon, the british airline pilots association called a strike, they had had an overwhelming vote in favour of strike action. on the ninth and 10th

of september and also the 27th of september. british airways had lots of warning that there could be a strike so they worked out exactly the flights they were going to cancel. in the summer they run a lot of holiday flights from heathrow to parma in majorca, and to greece. immediately, those holiday flights we re immediately, those holiday flights were cancelled and some of the multifrequency flights they have two north america. unfortunately, while they had everything set up to press they had everything set up to press the button to say, we are going to cancel these, something had gone wrong. they obviously had to fill in the dates and that went wrong. that wouldn't have mattered at all if ba had said to other people whose flights are cancelled, don't worry, we have to book your flight on an alternative airline. instead, they sent a message saying you can have your money back, which wouldn't suit many passengers and you can't rebook

on another ba flight. but what they missed out was the european passenger rights rules which say is if you cancel a flight, then you must offer, on the same day, if a seat is available, and at the flight. it seat is available, and at the flight. it is a significant omission? it is, they said the e—mail to people and said it is very likely you will not be able to travel on that date. what they should have said, it is very likely you will be able to travel on that date. so people who forked out, caroline, people in her situation, will they get their money back in the end? british airways says they will talk to anybody who has been inconvenienced by us cancelling and bent on cancelling it. the short a nswer bent on cancelling it. the short answer is, they are dealing with it ona answer is, they are dealing with it on a case—by—case basis. anybody who spent a fortune will be able to go to british airways under the

consumer rights act of 2015 and said, i don't think you did this with reasonable care and skill and say i want my extra expenses back. she will be watching no doubt. a word about the possible security changes, what do you make about that? we knew about the heathrow scanners because that was announced some time ago. it will be interesting to see if it spreads to other airports but where do you draw the line? the big four, they can easily afford it, but belfast city, inverness and cardiff, not sure they have the passenger numbers to justify it. the fact you can leave your liquids and your laptop in your bag in your flight out from heathrow but it doesn't help you very much when you are flying back from athens. but it will speed things up a little? it will speed things up, that will be useful. it will mean that will be useful. it will mean that perhaps we will be a bit safer because they can look more closely at what is in your baggage. but a lot of people in aviation security say we are taking too long to king

lis, have you got anything dangerous in your bag? we should be concentrating on the individual traveller, how are they behaving, when did they book. because i would expect to be pulled over quite a lot because i do have some unusual travel habits. but we know you are entirely blameless, simon. thank you for coming in. 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.

the latest clashes come as the protests enter their 12th week. they began in response to a controversial extradition bill but have since grown into broader anti—government demonstrations. our correspondent stephen mcdonell has sent this report from where some of the worst clashes have been happening. we are back at the situation of having these large pitch battles between protesters and riot police. i'm not sure if you can see the riot police through all of the tear gas. and over this side, the protesters have built a barricade, they are all ducking down. every now and then, you'll see something on fire over the other side. we have molotov cocktails going off on the street. some protesters are certainly upping the ante, in terms of the weapons they're using against police. police have warned them they are going to clear them out. but it hasn't deterred these protesters, perhaps

there are not enough riot police to clear them out. because certainly we have what seems like thousands of hardcore protesters here. in the pro—democracy movement. and... probably only dozens of riot police. stephen mcdonell in hong kong. one 01’ stephen mcdonell in hong kong. one or two lines coming out of the g7 summit with regards to relations between the united states and japan. talk of a future trade pack of some description and shinzo abe reported as saying he would like to set a goal of signing a pact with the united states in september. some work, he says, on the content remains to be done. a line from donald trump talking about the deal being signed probably in september around the date of the united nations general assembly. so some
