this is bbc news. the headlines at 20:00: the prime minister says he's marginally more optimistic about striking a brexit deal after meeting g7 leaders in france — saying it's the job of everyone in parliament to deliver on time. i think people have just about had enough of this conversation and i think they're yearning for a moment when brexit comes off the front pages, but that can only happen when we come out of the eu on october the 31st. leaders at the summit pledge $22 million to help tackle the devastating fires in the amazon rainforest. the $22 million promised by the g7 nations to help tackle the fires here in brazil is welcomed by environmental campaigners in this country, but most would say it doesn't go anywhere near far enough. the largest earthquake thought to be caused by a fracking site in the uk has been felt in lancashire.

a 14—year—old boy has been arrested in connection with a fire at a high school in dunfermline. and... record—breaking weather — the hottest late august bank holiday sees temperatures hit 33 degrees celsius. and in half an hour, talking movies explores the role of the producer in both big hollywood productions and smaller independent films. good evening. the prime minister has told european leaders meeting at the g7 summit in biarritz not to listen to british politicians who say they can stop brexit. he told reporters at the close of the summit that he'd reminded the eu britain will leave

on october 31st, even if no agreement is reached, and he said ‘colossal‘ preparations have been made for a no—deal scenario. also at the summit, leaders agreed measures to try to help deal with the fires in the amazon — we'll hear more about that in a moment. first, our political correspondent vicki young reports on the mood around brexit in biarritz. it's not easy keeping world leaders in line. 0rder, order. boris! 0rder! there are deep divisions over international trade, security and the environment. borisjohnson has used his first summit to reinforce a familiar message on brexit — the uk is leaving with or without a deal at the end of october. and the prime minister doesn't want eu leaders to think that's an empty threat. i think it's time that we in the uk started to think about all the ways in which we can think of a post—brexit britain, doing things differently and doing things better. taking the opportunities to boost investment in our businesses and our industry, setting up freeports, doing free—trade deals. there are big, big

opportunities for this country. prime minister, you've been telling eu leaders not to listen to those mps who say they are going to block a no—deal brexit. how far are you willing to go to stop parliament doing that? i think that this is really a matter for parliamentarians to get right ourselves. we asked the people to vote on whether to stay in or to leave the eu and they voted overwhelmingly, voted very substantially, to leave, by a big majority. parliament vowed several times to reflect and respect that mandate. and i think people havejust about had enough of this conversation and they're yearning for the moment when brexit comes off the front pages, but that can only happen when we come out of the eu on october the 31st. and that is what i really call on all my fellow mps to deliver, and i hope and believe that they will. and mrjohnson is looking ahead to life beyond the eu.

congratulations on the ashes! we're not taking anything for granted. two to go. a friendly chat with the australian prime minister, despite england's victory in the cricket yesterday. they are hopeful of a trade deal within a year. this weekend has also been about developing ties with donald trump, hoping he'll sign off an ambitious post—brexit trade deal. president trump, boris johnson is very keen on a trade deal with the usa. you sound keen on it too. some of his critics, though, are worried that you're going to do over the uk. no, no. i love the uk. i own great property in the uk, i love the uk. i've no idea how my property is doing, because i don't care, but i own turnberry, and i own in aberdeen, and i own in ireland, as you know, doonbeg, and great stuff. and i'll be honest with you, i think... i think that... i think he's going tojust do a greatjob as prime minister. it takes a lot. it's so many different elements to being a great prime minister, and you needed him. ijust think his time is right.

this is the right time for boris. downing street thinks boris johnson's first summit has been a success. he's wooed donald trump and there have been friendly words with eu leaders. they're not expecting an imminent breakthrough on brexit, but they do feel that borisjohnson has brought a new energy to the whole negotiations. vicki young, bbc news, biarritz. 0ur europe editor katya adler is in biarritz, and said that although the prime minister believes eu leaders have ‘got the message‘ about removing the backstop, they still want more detail on the alternative options. eu leaders hear boris johnson loud and clear. he's asked them to get rid of the backstop. but the response i'm hearing is if they do that, then that would mean them abandoning member state ireland, risking the northern ireland peace process, they say, as well as exposing the european single market voluntarily. and for what? eu leaders ask. so they're sticking to their position that the door is open to get rid of the backstop if borisjohnson can find

a credible, immediately operable alternative. he received an invitation here at the g7, just like last week in paris and berlin, saying that — we're ready to hear you, if you have that alternative. and in the meantime, we are no further with this backstop issue than we were months ago when theresa may was prime minister. something, though, has changed, because borisjohnson used to be dismissed by many in europe as a bit of a chancer, a populist without a plan. now eu leaders do take him very seriously on two particular issues. they believe him now that he will pursue a no—deal brexit if he doesn't get a new deal with the eu, and they also believe him that he would rather leave with a deal. but this new eu understanding of the prime minister really doesn't bring the two sides any closer to agreement and so, for now, the eu believe that a no—deal brexit is still the most likely scenario. with me now is our political correspondent nick eardley. we have had to borisjohnson in berlin and in paris and then more recently at the g7 summit. where do

you think we are left now after all these talks that he has had with various leaders on brexit? to broadly sum up i think borisjohnson will be fairly encouraged by some of the conversations he has had, but under no illusions that this is far from easy to solve. downing street before boris johnson made from easy to solve. downing street before borisjohnson made his first trip to paris were playing down the prospect of any imminent breakthrough because they knewjust how much had to be done. boris johnson will be happy that the conversation, conversations he has had seem to have gone fairly well, everybody has got on, europe has said to the prime minister, come up with something, tell us what it is that you think could replace the backstop. but at the same time, nothing fundamental has changed. the fundamental problem still there, which is the uk will not sign to anything that had the backstop and europe will not countenance anything that doesn't have it. so in terms of

genuine concrete progress, i am not sure things have moved that much further forward. perhaps a sure things have moved that much furtherforward. perhaps a door sure things have moved that much further forward. perhaps a door has been ever so slightly left ajar, rather than slammed shut completely. and we have been concentrating on europe this week, but very shortly, the prime minister will be back in london and facing political opposition at home. fascinating, westminster doesn't go back for another ten days, mps are still on their summer holidays, but a group will return to westminster tomorrow to plot how to try and stop mr johnson leaving the eu without a deal at the end of october if that is the situation we are in. jeremy corbyn, the labour leader, will have a meeting in his office with all the other opposition leaders apart from the dup, talking about strategy. we have heard over the last couple of weeks they don't completely agree, weeks they don't completely agree, we have differences about how to do that. i think that is starting to change. i think increasingly, the different sites realise that the best way they can stop no—deal is not by bringing down the government and making mr corbyn prime minister

but by passing a law that would force the prime minister to ask for an extension at the end of october, again, if that is the situation the uk is in. it is farfrom clear if that will work, you heard boris johnson refusing to rule out the prospect of sending mps home, packing the place up to stop them blocking no—deal. there is a huge parliamentary battle about to happen and boris johnson parliamentary battle about to happen and borisjohnson knows at the moment the numbers are against him. really interesting, thank you so much. president donald trump says he is open to meeting iran's president hassan rouhani, under the right circumstances. it comes after iran's foreign minister made a brief and unannounced visit to the g7 summit in france on sunday. relations between iran and the us have deteriorated since washington withdrew from a 2015 deal to limit iran's nuclear activities last year. mr trump said he had "good feelings" about the prospect of a new nuclear deal with iran

g7 leaders did manage to agree measures to help tackle the devastating fires in the amazon rainforest. more than £18 million was promised in emergency funding forfirefighting equipment and military assistance. earlier, borisjohnson pledged £10 million to help with re—forestation. 0ur correspondent will grant is in brazil and sent us this. the $22 million promised by the g7 nations to help tackle the fires here in brazil is welcomed by environmental campaigners in this country. but most would say it doesn't go anywhere nearfar enough in terms of the scale of the problem. there are still somewhere around 75,000 fires raging across brazil. and if that is to be dealt with properly, there will have to be a well funded operation.

there has been a joint operation launched here by the brazilian government. the government ofjair bolsonaro. and that involves the military, the firefighters, and the environment ministry. but protesters say it is woefully undermanned and it is late and slow. and as you can see, the situation around me continues to be devastating in terms of the devastation it has caught. this is outside the capital and the ground has just been scorched around me. this is scores of hectares that have been destroyed as the fire rages through. of course, jair bolsonaro himself has not welcomed the money. he continues to be in confrontation with g7 leaders, saying, why do they want to help the amazon? why have they got their eyes on the amazon. what do they want out of it? no—one helps anyone except a poor person unless they want something in return.

and that alone, i think, shows the degree to which the two sides are at odds. 0ver over this issue. will grant reporting. and we'll find out how all the stories from the g7 — and many others — are covered in tomorrow's front pages at 11:30 this evening in the papers. 0ur guestsjoining me tonight are editor of politics home kevin schofield, and broadcaster daisy mcandrew. the mother of four children killed in a petrol bomb attack on their home in greater manchester has died more than a year and a half on from the fire. the blaze happened in december of 2017 in walkden, and it killed demi, brandon, lacie and lia pearson. in april, ms pearson came out of the coma she had been in since the fire and was told of her children's deaths. zak bolland and david worrall were both given four life sentences for the children's murder in may last year. police have charged a 14—year—old boy in connection with a fire at a secondary school in fife. firefighters worked overnight to tackle the blaze at woodmill high school in dunfermline.

the school has been forced to close — just four days into the start of term. 0ur correspondent james shaw reports. this was a substantial fire, which needed 80 firefighters and 15 fire engines to tackle it. they worked in the heat and smoke through a long, hot night. it's a large school. it's over many levels. it has a number of different buildings constructed during different periods, so our firefighters had to find safe ways to hit the fire, to make entry to the building, identify the seat of the fire and then extinguish it. the fire appears to have started in a part of the school for children with extra educational needs, but it spread quickly. there has been extremely substantial damage to this building. it looks as though about a third of the main block has been completely burnt out. the question now, what happens to the 1,400 pupils who should be getting their education here? there are a number of

options being explored for the short term, which includes e—learning, and making sure that cohorts of pupils are able to access their learning. and then, looking at the more medium to longer term about where to house these 1,400 pupils. a 14—year—old boy arrested and charged in connection with the fire is expected to appear in court tomorrow. the impact on the education of the 1,400 pupils at woodmill high school is hard to judge at this point. but that could be the most important long—term concern after this devastating fire. james shaw, bbc news, dunfermline. it is coming up to past eight. the headlines on bbc news: the prime minister says he's marginally more optimistic about striking a brexit deal after meeting g7 leaders in france — saying it's the job of everyone in parliament to deliver on time.

leaders at the summit pledge $22 million to help tackle the devastating fires in the amazon rainforest. the largest earthquake thought to be caused by a fracking site in the uk has been felt in lancashire. sport, and for a full round—up, from the bbc sport centre, here's eleanor roper. hello, good evening. johanna konta is through to the second round of the us open. she beat russia's daria kasat—keena over three sets. nick parrott was watching the action at flushing medows. since losing in the quarterfinals at wimbledon, johanna konta's form has gone missing. new york isn't the easiest place for her to try and find it — she's lost in the opening round at flushing meadows for the last two years. at first, it looked like it would be third

time lucky quite quickly against captain tina, the british number one was dominant, aggressive, and consistent. she powered her way to the first set in 24 minutes. but thenjohanna konta imploded. the first of many errors that allowed her russian opponents back in. then johanna konta exploded in a row with the umpire, she was not happy about him overruling calls. while she was angry and frustrated, her opponent kept her cool until the second set. she had time to compose herself and a couple of breaks serve followed, as she reinstated her authority. ultimately, this match was decided by unforced errors. a double fault handed her victory and confidence that she has the resilience to succeed. britain's harriet dart lost on her us open debut — she was beaten in straight sets, 6—3 6—1, by ana bogdan. dan evans looks to be faring better in the men's draw. the british number two is currently leading frenchman adrian mannarino

by 2 sets to 1. not much between these two, as they're next to each other in the world rankings. mannarino has won their only previous encounter. it's seven years since andy murray won the us open, but despite not making this year's compeition, he's just picked up his first singles win since hip surgery. he dropped just one game, as he beat the 17—year old imran sibille at the challenger tour event in majorca. sibille is a trainee at the rafa nadal academy which is hosting the tournament. in less than 24 hours, two of the football league's most famous clubs could be thrown out of the competition. a deal to buy bolton wanderers fell through over the weekend and administrators say the "process of closing down the company will begin on wednesday". the fate of neighbours bury will be decided at the same time. wanderers have until 5 o'clock tomorrow for the takeover to be completed, orface the process of expulsion. after their takeover collapsed, administrator paul appleton says they can't carry on trading. and if they go into liquidation,

then more than 150 jobs would be lost. nothing would surprise me any more, there's been so many twists and turns in this whole fiasco, that nothing would surprise me so i could not even make any predictions. but i hope if the main protagonist here, if they've got any shred of decency and compassion, they won't see this club go under and they'll do the right thing and get the deal done. the scotland manager steve clarke believes rangers having to shut part of their ground this week could be a good thing, in the battle to beat sectarianism. the ibrox club were punished by uefa for the sectarian behaviour of fans at a previous game. clarke wants both rangers and celtic to do more to stamp it out. the sectarian singing, you don't need. you don't need. if it happens in the street, it is a crime. if it happens in a football stadium, there are so many happens in a football stadium, there are so many people doing it, then suddenly, it is not a crime. that cannot be correct. so it is

something that i feel strongly about. i spoke about it at the time. and i would love to think that in the in years to come, that it won't be an issue in scotland. and hopefully, with time, we can get better and it will become a thing of the past. that's all the sport for now. eleanor, many thanks. hundreds of people have joined a protest at a fracking site in lancashire, after homes were shaken by the strongest earthquake ever recorded at a british shale gas site. the quake struck the preston new road facility, near blackpool, at 8:30 this morning, measuring a magnitude of 2.9. fiona trott reports. car horns beep concerned, angry, and gaining support. stop cuadrilla, they have no social licence. campaigners here have spent years trying to put a stop to fracking but, today, they're joined by a new group of residents who, this morning,

felt the tremor in their own homes. the whole house rocked. i was frightened. i thought, oh, my gosh, this is a real earthquake! or an explosion or something. i've never had the same feeling that my house is in trouble. my home is, my family, pets, everybody is. and it's not ok. on a normal day, there would be about ten protesters here. today, there have been up to 400. because this is the third and strongest tremor since wednesday. cuadrilla, not for the first time, is trying to put these people's minds at rest. i'm sorry if there has been any concern or anxiety created by this. but again, i would reiterate, if you look at it in context, the actual scale of the event at 2 or 3 seconds and the ground motion vibration typically of a construction site is not something that could possibly, or even near to cause harm to people or material damage to property. fracking was suspended here after the first tremor on wednesday. today's was almost six times

as strong as the agreed limit. the operating company, cuadrilla, has said minor tremors are to be expected during fracking. here's why. the first stage is to drill straight down. the drill is then turned horizontally. water, sand and chemicals are pumped at high pressure into shale rock to release gas. the gas is then brought to the surface, but the process has been linked to earth tremors. today, the debate around fracking has intensified and, while the government has given it the green light, the local conservative mp is now calling for it to be stopped. fiona trott, bbc news, lancashire. let's speak now to professor peter styles, a specialist in applied and environmental geophysics at keele university, who has advised the government on fracking. thank you so much for speaking to us.

thank you so much for speaking to us. what do you think should happen now? well, can ijust say that us. what do you think should happen now? well, can i just say that the actual event at 2.9 compared to the limit, the threshold of 2.5, it is some 100 or more times grated than the 0.5limit, not some 100 or more times grated than the 0.5 limit, not several times, it is four times bigger than the event we had two days ago. so this is energetically a reasonable event, which is why people are recording it. so what you think should happen now, given that this has occurred? well, we need to relook at this because in actual fact, well, we need to relook at this because in actualfact, in well, we need to relook at this because in actual fact, in 2012, well, we need to relook at this because in actualfact, in 2012, i am some colleagues we wrote a report for the government and established a traffic light system which would have dealt with some of these issues. at the time, it was thought to be too complex, despite it being a complex process, and simplified the traffic light system. and they didn't take into account these events which happen when fracking is not in process. but they are still associated very clearly and very

strongly with the events of fracking. and we need to look at this. we have had 1.1 or 2.1 and 2.9. that is quite close to the maximum, i would 2.9. that is quite close to the maximum, iwould have 2.9. that is quite close to the maximum, i would have expected. 2.9. that is quite close to the maximum, iwould have expected. so it is very important to see what happens over the next couple of days, i would happens over the next couple of days, iwould hope happens over the next couple of days, i would hope these events die down to lower magnitudes, but we do need to look at that and to analyse the data in some detail to try to understand what is going on. the process has been suspended for a while, hasn't it? while the authorities can look at the effect it is having on the earth. but at what stage do you think the authorities can say, yes, this can go ahead because we don't anticipate this will happen again? remember, fracking stopped several days ago, four days ago. these events are caused by changes in the fluid pressure working its way out from where the fracture took place. so in

actualfact, we where the fracture took place. so in actual fact, we need where the fracture took place. so in actualfact, we need to where the fracture took place. so in actual fact, we need to understand that it actual fact, we need to understand thatitis actual fact, we need to understand that it is notjust the fracking itself, it is how it influences the strut around about. we have not had that many fracks and i spent time with claire perry the previous energy minister talking about whether the threshold should be raised, but we have a threshold of 0.5 and we still had a magnitude 2.9 quake, so we need to understand this. i have recommended we should have tried this offshore first. the bowland shale exists in the irish sea. we could have done this offshore. sorry to interrupt, are you suggesting that to a certain extent, what is happening is experimental on the mainland? well, i have been monitoring activity for 40 yea rs i have been monitoring activity for 40 years and i monitored fracking in 1988 experimentally with bp so it is not that new. but the geology of the

uk is more complicated than the geology of the american base where this has been going on. we have had many more tectonic episodes which have affected these rocks and to some extent, the faults which are being rejuvenated have been formed then. that is what we are doing, we are stimulating features which are probably several hundred million yea rs old by probably several hundred million years old by actually influencing them either by the frack or the later injection of fluid. can i ask if you could answerjust briefly, there are many people who are not convinced by fracking and fear it, what would you say to them, given the events, given what has happened here near blackpool? well, technically, it is possible to do this, it has been done in the uk for various other processes and probably will be done for geothermal energy which people don't realise, but we need a system which allows us to make controlled fracking without causing the events of this magnitude. and it is partly to do with having a traffic light system

which is appropriate and fracture plans which deal with this. 0k, we had to leave it there, thank you for your time. breaking news now. had to leave it there, thank you for yourtime. breaking news now. coming from jet2, the airlines, are very lucky escape, a pilot was taken ill on one of their flights from manchester to madeira and had to be diverted to porto. but the flight was helped to be brought down by an off duty pilot, he just happens to be on board. and that pilot went into the cockpit and helped the co—pilot to land the plane. thejet2 aircraft carried over 200 passengers and the company says that a member of the flight crew became unwell. so a happy ending to something that could have been something of an

emergency. now, children who go hungry during the school holidays because parents can't afford meals are being trapped in a ‘cycle of despair‘, according to charities. a cross—party group of mps estimates that three million children are at risk of hunger during the summer break. the government says it‘s spent more than £9 million on schemes to provide meals outside term time. 0ur correspondent judith moritz reports. i think about it 24/7. 24/7. money is on demi‘s mind all the time, especially when it comes to feeding her son. it‘s even worse in the summer holidays, when he doesn‘t get free school meals. so this is a real lifeline. a mini—market at the gateway centre in bradford, where you only pay what you can afford. it‘s about that little boy. i don‘t need to eat. my son does. i don‘t want to bury my son.

have you ever had to go without food so he can eat? yeah, i don‘t eat at all. why is that? because my son comes first. i don‘t need to, it‘s not about me. i‘ve lived my life. he‘s only six years old. how old are you, demi? 25. it‘s not about me. i‘m a mother. all right, guys, who wants sandwiches? the centre has seen a surge in demand this summer. for families who can‘t afford a holiday, this is the next best thing. packed lunches for 50p. and a couple of coaches to take them off the estate and to the seaside for the day. welcome to blackpool! this is the only chance for some on the trip to experience anything like a summer holiday. they‘ve got their children at home, they‘re not getting their free school meals, so they‘ve got to find extra money to feed them. and a luxury like a day out to blackpool? that is an absolute luxury, that would not happen. you know, most of the children,

if you ask them where they‘ve been, a lot of them have not even been off the estate. the six—weeks holidays is a case of, what are we going to do with the kids? how can we afford it? even for working families like the towlers, it‘s difficult. dad david has a full—time job, but they still struggle to get by. is this your summer holiday? yeah, this is our summer holiday, it's our day away to relax and sort of get away from things. we barely buy anything for ourselves, clothes—wise, unless we absolutely need it. it all goes towards the kids. we've been lucky this last year, a lot of family and friends have donated clothes, school clothes for them, so that's a little money we don't have to spend right now. back at the centre, every family is offered a free meal every day of the holidays. vital for parents who are forced to make stark choices. basically, my gas and electric are getting paid and i‘m putting food in my cupboards, but everything else isjust on hold, i‘ll have to catch up after the holidays. it‘s taken courage for these families to talk about

something so personal. but they speak from the heart to make people understand how hard it is. walk in our shoes. walk in our shoes, and then you‘ll know what it‘s like. judith moritz, bbc news, bradford. a vast "raft" of volcanic rocks stretching over one hundred and fifty square kilometers is drifting through the pacific ocean, scientists say. the sea of pumice — the size of 20,000 football fields — was first reported by australian sailors earlier this month. experts say the mass likely came from an underwater volcano near tonga, which erupted around the seventh of august. this has been the hottest late august bank holiday on record — though it is not a holiday in scotland. temperatures rose to more than 33 degrees celsius in west london — beating the previous record of 28 degrees two years ago. richard lister has more details.
