world leaders at the g7 summit are expected to agree new plans to help countries tackling forest fires in the amazon. president macron of france said they were close to a deal providing technical and financial help. brazilian military plane have been dumping water on the burning areas after global concern that not enough was being done to tackle the fires. from biarritz, here's our diplomatic correspondent, james landale. the fires raging across the amazon in recent weeks have been devastating, not just in recent weeks have been devastating, notjust for in recent weeks have been devastating, not just for those in recent weeks have been devastating, notjust for those who live there, but also potentially for the global environment. for president macron in france, they are a crisis the g7 was designed to fix. a common thread that requires collective action by the well‘s major economies. so today he and other leaders will discuss and potentially agree on a new plan to help countries first battle of fires, then deal with subsequent reforestation. translation: there are reforestation. translation: there a re co nta cts reforestation. translation: there are contacts being made with all the countries of the amazon, so that we

can finalise concrete commitments of technical and financial means. german chancellor angela merkel said the earth was being affected, so they had to be a common solution. borisjohnson promised they had to be a common solution. boris johnson promised an they had to be a common solution. borisjohnson promised an immediate £10 million to help brazil with reforestation. but it is still not clear what else may be agreed. resident bolsonaro of brazil has accused foreign governments of interfering in the sovereignty of his country, and the g7 is divided over whether to block an eu trade deal with some south american countries if they do not take more action to tackle fires lit deliberately by loggers and farmers. and you can find lots more about the g7 summit on our website, including analysis and commentary from our correspondents in biarritz. that's all at bbc.com/news. or you can download the bbc news app. bolivia's president is facing criticism for his slow response to a series of forest fires in the country. more than a million hectares of land close to brazil have already been destroyed. environmental campaigners say it's a result of a decree allowing cattle farmers to clear the forest.

gareth barlow reports. bolivia's forests are burning. as helicopters hover overhead, volunteers and firefighters battle flames on the ground. it's from the air that the true extent of the fires is apparent. more than 10,000 square kilometres have already been burned. now the bolivian president, evo morales, who's been criticised for his slow response, has opened the door to international help. translation: i welcomed telephone calls from the presidents of paraguay, chile and spain. we welcome any cooperation. since wednesday, we've been managing the operation. the develop bank of latin america is donating about $500,000. it's not only the environment that's suffering. these families are just some of the many forced from their homes. translation: the plants are destroyed, all the plants, and now the water for us as well.

the pipe has been burned and we don't have water running from the pipe. it's all burned. translation: there was intense smoke coming with fire, it was like a whirlwind. it was coming to the houses. it advanced very fast. the fire came from the side of the mountains and into the village. as in neighbouring brazil, which is tackling a record number of fires, activists say tree clearing in bolivia, often for agriculture, is mostly to blame. while world leaders discuss the fires of the g7 summit in france, on the ground in bolivia, bottled water and baskets of water are being used to tackle the blaze. gareth barlow, bbc news. let's brief you on some of the other stories making the news. the interim government of sudan has declared a state of emergency in the east of the country after ethnic violence left at least 16 people dead. it also dismissed the governor of red sea state and the regional security chief.

a police officer fired a warning shot, in clashes with pro—democracy demonstrators in hong kong, marking an escalation in the unrest. earlier police used water cannon to disperse crowds and clear barricades for the first time since the demonstrations began in june. seven people, including two children, have been killed in a collision between a helicopter and a light aeroplane on the spanish island of majorca. local officials said there were no survivors from the crash. police in the california say a sheriff's deputy who claimed he was shot by a sniper made the whole attack up. a massive manhunt was launched in the city of lancaster last week after angel reinosa said he'd been wounded. but now the deputy has admitted the gunman never existed. tens of thousands of rohingya refugees have held a rally at a camp in bangladesh to mark two years since they were forced to flee a brutal military offensive in myanmar. the protestors gathered on what they described

as "genocide remembrance day." over 700,000 fled their native rakhine state in myanmar in august 2017 after the violent crackdown. our correspondent akbar hossain spent the day at the rally. they turned in their tens of thousands — rohingya muslims calling for justice. they prayed for those killed by the myanmar military. this is their rohingya genocide day. the refugees living in this bangladesh camp want the myanmar government to ensure their citizenship and human rights. translation: our mothers and sisters were tortured in myanmar and we came here two years ago. with this rally, we want to show to the whole world that we are victims of genocide and torture. this is called the largest refugee camp in the world. one million rohingya muslims live here. the camp is cramped and people live in unhygienic conditions. when i walked around the camp, i saw anxious faces,

but they say they cannot go back. translation: we are suffering from different kinds of diseases. we are suffocating because of high temperature. still, we are living here. how will we go back? we want justice. translation: they will kill us again if we go back. i'm not willing to go back. if they recognise us as rohingya, we will go back. if we go back without justice, they would again kill us. the military crackdown in myanmar since 2012 has resulted in many fleeing their country. more than 700,000 rohingya fled to bangladesh in 2017 alone. the united nations described it as a textbook example of ethnic cleansing. bangladesh ministers say that refugees cannot go back because myanmar is not letting them. but bangladesh is one of the world's poorest countries

and struggles to cope. many bangladeshis believe that rohingya should be repatriated soon. neighbouring myanmar is reluctant to change their policies. the solution remains elusive for the rohingya muslims. akbar hossain, bbc news, dhaka. and let's get more on events at the g7 summit, and discuss some of the other headlines that came out of the meeting in biarritz. eileen burbidge, partner at passion capital and technology entrepreneur. boris johnson's first performance, if you like, on the world stage as prime minister. how do you think he has done? i think it has really been interesting to watch, and that is what the british media has been focusing on, because i think the first objective was to not screw up. it seems like he has succeeded, although there is one more day. he

really went in, probably with a pretty straightforward mandate from his team, right? make sure it looks like you are getting on, there is not going to be a whole lot of decisions coming out of the g7, it is really just an decisions coming out of the g7, it is reallyjust an opportunity for people to clarify positions. some of the biggest topics were obviously going to be easy to rally around, supporting what is happening in the amazon rainforest, potentially to make sure that everybody was still committed in trying to get trump onside, to get back to the iran nuclear deal, for example. and obviously, just as he would have said, learned a couple of messages about brexit. but again, they were not going to get into any detail, so he did just going to be a diplomat and tried to get on with those, and establish that he is different from his predecessor. what about his relationship with donald trump? we are looking at pictures of them there. he seems to have been more forceful tha n there. he seems to have been more forceful than many might have expected and saying, i have got my red lines when it comes to a trade deal. this is what we want is a country, not just what deal. this is what we want is a country, notjust what is it that

you want, donald trump.|j country, notjust what is it that you want, donald trump. i think he realises... i mean, i don't know, but i think he realises trump is not going to be coming up with much detail. trump is going to be all about soundbites. he is saying things like, we will get to a trade deal very quickly. it is boris am, actually, it is unlikely we are going to get anything done before the end of the year. so for once he is the one who is a sort of tampering voice behind it, and i think he realises trump is just going to be all about, oh, you are a great guy for thejob, going to be all about, oh, you are a great guy for the job, and going to be all about, oh, you are a great guy for thejob, and he can just look humble and say, i don't know about that. it is very superficial. i think it suits both of their personalities, just to keep soundbites and have reallyjovial, hearty laughter and things around the table. leaving the details of the table. leaving the details of the millions behind the scenes. —— to the millions. what about brexit? donald tusk was there, they have had a conversation and a meeting. boris johnson and donald tusk. not much seems to have come out of it. donald tusk seems frustrated but there has

not been any offering of some new suggestions on how to deal with the backstop which borisjohnson has hinted he would have. of course. i think it is reasonable eu leaders arejust silly think it is reasonable eu leaders are just silly and wait—and—see mode. again, there are all the soundbites, what will the distinction be? boris johnson soundbites, what will the distinction be? borisjohnson has made a clear effort to say, listen, the current withdrawal agreement is dead. one of the messages he wanted to learn was that the divorce bill is upfor to learn was that the divorce bill is up for contention, he is not necessarily going to follow through with that £39 billion bill. obviously this perplexes european leaders, because they are saying, what is the alternative? what are you suggesting instead ? what is the alternative? what are you suggesting instead? what is interesting, i found, it you suggesting instead? what is interesting, ifound, it was the first time i have heard in recent weeks or days, boris is saying it seems reasonably likely we will still be exiting by october 31, whereas really, until the g7, he was adamant in saying, with or without a deal. we are going out on october 31. to me this feels like he is putting in some cushioning. but i might be reading too much into it, given there is not much detail coming out of any of these

conversations. eileen, thank you. eileen will be back later with a look at the papers. stay with us on bbc news. still to come, england's cricketers turn on the style to keep their ashes hopes alive. more on one of the most amazing cricketing comebacks of all time. he's the first african—american to win the presidential nomination of a major party, and he accepts exactly 45 years ago to the day that martin luther king declared, "i have a dream." as darkness falls, an unfamiliar light will appear in the south—eastern sky. an orange glowing disc that's brighter than anything save the moon — our neighbouring planet mars. horn toots there is no doubt that this election is an important milestone in the birth of east timor as the world's newest nation. it will take months and billions of dollars to repair what katrina achieved injust hours. three weeks is the longest the great

clock has been off duty in 117 years. so it was with great satisfaction that clockmakerjohn vernon swung the pendulum to set the clock going again. big ben bongs you're watching the briefing. our headlines: g7 leaders are set to unveil a new plan to protect the amazon, offering technical and financial support to fight fires in the rainforest. it comes as record numbers of wildfires sweep the region. in bolivia, more than 10,000 square kilometres have been destroyed in days. billions of people could lack access to clean water over the next decade according to the united nations, but what should be done to tackle the problem? nadeem shad from our reality check team takes a look at five things we can do to help stop water shortages.

water is our most valuable resource, but over 1 water is our most valuable resource, but over1 billion people currently lack but over1 billion people currently la ck a ccess but over1 billion people currently lack access to clean sources of it and our demand is growing every year. if we don't act now, the consequences could be catastrophic. by consequences could be catastrophic. by 2025, over 2 billion people could be facing severe water shortages. it's not that there isn't enough water on earth. over two—thirds is covered by ocean. but if we look at all the water on the planet, only about 3% is freshwater. at least 90% of that water is used for agriculture. the rest is for industrial use or for drinking. so if we're going to avoid running out of water, here's a view things we can do. we can conserve water by using more efficient appliances and by managing our daily usage better,

but also we need to fundamentally rethink agriculture by growing crops that use less water, and using group irrigation two survives in efficiency. another option is we can c0 nse rve efficiency. another option is we can conserve new sources of groundwater. deep underground often far from la kes deep underground often far from lakes or rivers there are vast reserves of water, but overuse can cause them to run dry. they can be a vital resource for many people. knew often vital resource for many people. knew ofte n large vital resource for many people. knew often large sources have been found in africa and elsewhere, but drilling can be costly and inefficient. it can often harm the environment and the drilling process uses a lot of energy. however responsible management... protecting our rivers and lakes from industrial contamination is also a huge challenge, as is making sure water diversion products like dams don't destroy large freshwater, like we've seen destroy large freshwater, like we've seenin destroy large freshwater, like we've seen in places like the aral sea. water recycling or reclamation can also greatly increase water efficiency by using treated

wastewater for farming, industry and to replenish groundwater. it can also help protect natural systems of sensitive freshwater. but what about all that seawater, about 90 97% of all that seawater, about 90 97% of all the water on earth, surely that's a resource we should be taking advantage of? desalination helps. its not as easy as it might sound. it's both very expensive and requires a great deal of energy. but investment in more efficient methods of desalination is being carried out and its global use has greatly increased. many national or local governments are already using or exploring these options because of the growing human population, but it's clear that if we don't manage our precious water resources more wisely, the consequences could be very serious. here's our briefing on some of the key events happening later. london's famous notting hill carnival winds its way round three and a half miles of the capital. after yesterday's children's parade, today it's the turn of the adults, featuring bands, floats, and dancers. to manhattan now

where harvey weinstein is to appear in court on a new indictment in connection with his upcoming criminal trial. and staying in new york, the us open tennis champtionships begin, with two big hitters, novak djokovic and roger federer, starting their campaigns. now it's time to get all the latest from the bbc sports centre. hello, i'm tulsen tollet and this is your monday sport briefing, where we start with the cricketing news that ben stokes scored an unbeaten century to lead england to an historic win over australia in the third ashes test at headingley. england looked down and out when they lost their ninth wicket, still more than 75 runs short of the second innings target of 359. but stokes stepped up and delivered, scoring 135 not out as england won the test match by one wicket to level the five—match series at 1—1. we knew if we lost this game then

the ashes were gone. so to be sat here especially after being bowled out for 67, is to still be within a chance of getting the urn back is an amazing feeling. walking off at the end was a time to take it in what we've done as a team, notjust an individual. now to golf, and rory mcilroy has won the tour championship in atlanta meaning he also claims the fed ex cup and the $15 million prize that comes with it. the northern irishman finished on 18—under par to win by four shots from xander schauffele after carding a final round of li—under 66. world number one brooks koepka led heading into the final 18 holes but his challenge faltered and he finished tied for third with justin thomas on 13—under as mcilroy won his second fed ex cup in four years. tough coming in stop either to birdies on 1a and 15 and a huge

it's been a great season for me and i'll look back on this season and there's been a lot of good things that i've done. i'll try and improve for next year again. antoine griezmann scored twice as barcelona bounced back from last week's opening day defeat with an emphatic 5—2 win over real betis at camp nou. the reigning champions went behind early on but griezmann's double either side of half—time, his first league goals for the catalans, saw them take the lead and three more, the last from arturo vidal takes them up to ninth in the table the final grand slam of the tennis season begins at flushing meadows in new york later. no doubt as to the main attraction in the first round as serena williams plays maria sharapova. while in the men's draw, novak djokovic is bidding to win back—to—back us open titles for the first time. iam 32, i am 32, so, you iam 32, so, you know, things are

i am 32, so, you know, things are a little bit different than they were ten yea rs little bit different than they were ten years ago, but i still feel young inside and outside. i still am very motivated to keep going, especially at this stage. i mean, it has always been the case but especially now, more or less everything's about grand slams in terms of how i see tennis and how i approach it because, you know, they matter the most. ireland's nicholas roche leads the vuelta a espana heading into monday's stage three which is a flat 188km finishing in alicante. on sunday's stage two it was nairo quintana who took it. the colombian is looking for his second win in the final of the year's three grand tours, having won this in 2016, and he won by five seconds holding off roche and primoz roglic. and before we go, how about this for endurance running that's been doing well on social media? what you're looking at here is the finish line for the red bull 400 uphill challenge.

the athletes race up a ski slope, fastest to the top wins. this race took place in the austrian town of bischofs—hofen and is part of a wider series. you can get all the latest sports news at our website, that's bbc.com/sport. but from me and the rest of the team, that's your monday sport briefing. thanks, tulsen. ariana grande has performed in manchester two years after a suicide bomber killed 22 people leaving her concert in the city. armed police patrolled outside the gay pride event. our entertainment correspondent colin paterson reports. an emotional ariana grande, back
