social distancing — dominic raab travels to washington to reassure us take your snake on the bus politicians government's plan to override parts of the brexit divorce deal. while four congressmen — write to borisjohnson saying with you — the full story coming up. the legislation could block a potential uk—us trade. we'll be speaking to a signatory. also in the programme. living through a pandemic mean the months are ticking by and uncertainty looms — we'll examine solutions for dealing hello, i'm katty kay in washington, when everythings up in the air. james reynolds is in london. the uk's foreign secretary dominic raab is in washington today but here's something to cheer you up — pressing for closer ties melania trump's statue has been with the united states. rebuilt in slovenia — this time his trip has become something of a rescue mission. in bronze to prevent arson. that's because four members of the us congress have written to prime minister borisjohnson — threatening to veto any trade deal between the two countries if the uk fails to uphold its commitments to northern ireland. the uk government admits that its proposed new bill — which addresses northern ireland — would breach the divorce from the moment donald trump agreement with the eu. came down the escalator in a concession designed to win over some of his own doubting mps, borisjohnson has now agreed to secure parliamentary approval if the government decides to go ahead with its plans.

speaking in washington — foreign secretary raab and secretary to launch his first bid of state mike pompeo insisted for the presidency, the issues he was going to run the countries were on the same page. on were clear and consistent —— to the good friday agreement immigration and the idea and to avoid any infrastructure of ‘draining the swamp'. but during this campaign on the border between north the political terrain has shifted. the coronavirus has dominated and south is absolute. the national conversation over yes, we trust united kingdom. the last six months, while the unrest following the death of geroge floyd has pushed policing i am confident they will get it right. and racialjustice to the forefront. we've made clear our new polling from the kaiser view of the importance foundation shows that of the good friday agreement. back in february, before the pandemic took hold, we know the complexity health care was the top of the situation, we've issue on voters's minds. what we can to provide assistance where we can. later on in the programme new polling from the kaiser foundation shows that we'll be speaking to back in february —— representative richard neal, before the pandemic took hold —— one of the congressmen urging borisjohnson to change tack. health care was the top issue on voters's minds. but in the months that followed, millions lost theirjobs, but first — we're joined by our and businesses closed. at last count, 32% of americans put the economy as their number one north america editorjon sopel. issue, with covid and criminal justice being second and third. those all important swing—voters reflect this trend. jump, north america editorjon sopel. they may be on th 35—percent cite the economy as their top issue. does jump, they may be on the same page does not mean that the us congress criminaljustice and covid come in well behind. we'll be looking into these is, right? yeah, and that was the issues one—by—one on this programme in the coming weeks, easy bet that dominic raab had but let's take a big—picture today. he's meeting with mike pompeo view right now. who made a very encouraging noise wa nts to who made a very encouraging noise wants to see a trade deal,

optimistic that it can be done. i think the british government would have been absolutely delighted with the response they got from mike for that we're joined now by glen borger, he's pompeo. and remember, making brexit a republican pollster. and mary anne marsh, a su ccess pompeo. and remember, making brexit a success is something the trump a democratic strategist. when you do your surveys and talks administration and has invested in. they wanted to succeed. that said, of focus groups, is there one issue the difficult task that dominic raab that dominates the conversation that has is happening about now. which is is dominated the election of voters his meeting with nancy pelosi. who is made clear in the most clear turn minds? there are a couple. and possible that there ain't going to bea possible that there ain't going to be a deal on trade that will pass the congress or any trade deal has another issues that are related to to go through congress. at the it as well and a big one besides moment the democrats have a majority there. if there is any tinkering that. glenn, we are having a problem with the good friday enter agreement. i think that nancy pelosi is going to take a good deal more with your line, we're going to reassurance than mike pompeo and switch to marianne. we will try to fix glenn's line in the meantime. just as you've got dominic raab the british foreign secretary here, you've got the irish ambassador on shore doing everything he can to for for the economy, but it is rally as much support against the really the pandemic. all roads lead british position. john, i don't know to the pandemic. the common if you watch this programme every denominator is covid—19, racial

night. i'm assuming that you do. you might remember a little earlier this injustice, law enforcement, it is all been created by the pandemic. you have been the shutdown, year that eight republican congressmen almost sitting in the businesses shut down, kids and i same seat what you are said that he going to school, that is partisan might veto a trade bill because of economy that we have not seen the the uk's renewing renewal of huawei. great depression. health care and it seems like that this keeps coming the pandemic really laid bare the out. not to get an easy time for the racial inequities in our system and united states when these issues keep popping up. united states when these issues keep popping up. well, ijust think united states when these issues keep popping up. well, i just think there was a degree of naivety on the part people died a far higher rates than of somebody and west minister who white america, we saw law enforcement in the death of george floyd and the inequities there. in thought well, we will leave the many ways, you can pick these up in european union and easy as anything, we will get a free trade deal with individual topics, but they are all the united states was up they will related to the pandemic. glenn is be incredibly favourable to us. back and you get another stab at the look, who needs a trail deal more? answer. i'm trying to remember what the united states or britain? it has to be put in because so much trade was asked. those are the issues in from the uk goes to the us. and in those circumstances, do you think that donald trump is going to be a the all are covid—19 related. and in pushover and say don't worry, we won't worry about our agriculture

products. you can keep them out, pharmaceuticals and same, just do whatever you like with mike i think terms of the issue with... just as that's for the birds. i think it is going to be tough. yes, and wait and see if its president biden that the we we re terms of the issue with... just as we were getting somewhere. marianne, uk has to deal with. things could get even trickier. talking of success the president has been we were getting somewhere. marianne, we are bombarding you tonight, but saying that his treatment of the here we go. let's say want to go to coronavirus is a success. it's a pointjohn that you put to the press secretary kaylee mack and eric take america and not knowing whether or a listen. in the richest country in not the homeowner was republican or democrat and making sure that i did the world you have for percent of not get kicked out of the house, is the world you have for percent of the global population and 25% of the there a single issue that i could raise with anyone in america that coronavirus death. how is that a success story? yeah, when you look eve ryo ne raise with anyone in america that everyone in the country agrees on? no. there is not. even the pandemic at, europe has 28% higher access maturity rate rate. there are critical numbers which i'm giving itself. it is clear that there are you which is for percent of the parts of this country people do not population. 20 for percent of the believe it. they believe in donald debts of covid. how can that be trump. they believe it's a hoax, they believe you cannot get infected exercise? and i'm giving you the and die. and in other states where numbers that we feel are very people are being far more vigilant indicative as we stand to the rest of the world. yes, several times the about it. and there is no one common white house change the way they

denominator that brings everyone measure this. what did you make of together like it does, one thing her response, john? well, she files on. but, ithink thatis together like it does, one thing that is striking that affects the presidential race is the fact that her response, john? well, she files on. but, i think she does herjob very well. she is very well joe biden, because the pandemic, is prepared, she's got a brief, her talking points and she doesn't starting to pick up more support among white seniors were scared to straight 5 degrees in either direction. but when she talks about death of the pandemic and bob excess deaths as a calculation, that is kinda complicated. the much woodward steak coming out last week easier calculation for people to we re woodward steak coming out last week were donald trump admits that he was understand is what proportion of not honest the american people, the does do we have relative to our population? and i think that is a polling in the weeks to come, the very much more uncomfortable figure end of this week and next week, i for the united states to deal with. would love to hear what glenn has to and one that she clearly didn't want say, i think that will show even to entertain despite my persistent more. and the state like florida, the residents between winning and attem pts to entertain despite my persistent attempts at trying to question her on it. the persistent mr sobel. losing and that is acidic and decide the presidency. glenn? more of a thank you very much forjoining the programme john. challenge for the president than sticking with coronavirus — president trump claimed last night in a town hall with undecided voters they have been into the pandemic. that the country was ‘rounding the corner‘ of the crisis, and i feel and even raised the possibility of a vaccine being ready they have been into the pandemic. and ifeel like, are you within just a few weeks, they have been into the pandemic. and i feel like, are you still having problems. we are still having a timeline that vaccine researchers

say is ambitious. on his own track record tackling the virus the president problems. we love you for trying. it went on the defensive — insisting that he took regret to say goodbye to you and we the pandemic seriously enough when it was in its earlier stages. are going to have to hope the next here he was in philadelphia. and become back, will get a much better line. 0h and become back, will get a much better line. oh wait, let me ask you ididn't i didn't downplay her in many ways i one more question because we have a plated in terms of action. my action minute now. and that is, trying to was very strong. what i did was with ta ke minute now. and that is, trying to take off the democratic strategist china, i put a ban on, with europe had, if you're a candidate and about a ban on and we would've lost you're advising a candidate that was set on running one thing this thousands of more people had or not president trump was set on running but the ban on. so that was called on the economy and then having to action, not with the mouth but in actual fact. let's switch gears, how much your as a poster campaign? they think this is action, not with the mouth but in actualfact. let's speak action, not with the mouth but in actual fact. let's speak to jenna a very fixed election and for any senior legal adviser to trumps 20/20 campaign. campaign that is chasing an issue at shejoins us from this point, with only 48 is to go, adviser to trumps 20/20 campaign. she joins us from washington. thank you forjoining the program. do you but it's probably not the issue, get see why people are concerned about to be very disciplined the court defined this race and for democrats the president consistently saying we've turned the corner, this is just getting away, things are better and republicans, it is the pandemic, than they really are. because people have to make decisions about how to and republicans, it is the pandemic, and how you deal with it. thank you run their own lives. and if they

think it's better than it is, they could put themselves at risk. while, for trying. weathering all those i think the president have been very straightforward with the american technological storms. people every step of the way. the anything that anyone had planned reality is is that you're always this year has been totally disrupted by coronavirus. going to have a risk analysis personally. and here in america we in the early days — value our freedom and liberty and we individual events and plans wa nt value our freedom and liberty and we want to return to normal. i think were crossed off in the diary — that's been expressed even from a as though march and april didn't federaljudge in that's been expressed even from a federal judge in pennsylvania just happen. this week talking about some of the then it seemed as though the entire summer was cancelled. health orders that are now the return to schools unconstitutional by our american is up in the air — metric. which is to recognise that will kids return, will they be safe? health risk safety is not the only and what's going to measurement to determine what our happen to halloween — life choices should be. and so, when can people go door to door — you look at something like that and we're already wearing masks. you look at something like that and will people be able you look at the lockdown orders that to travel for thanksgiving? are right away from a democrat led state. you look at that you compare and will coronavirus cap off 2020 by being the grinch that... state. you look at that you compare that. . . are state. you look at that you compare that... are you saying that you that stole christmas? would rather lose lives and take preventative measures? is not at all here to help us navigate to say there is no preventative measures. of these uncertain times — to say there is no preventative we're joined by dr elissa epel measures. of course to say there is no preventative measures. of course people are, especially those who are in the at from the department of psychiatry, risk and highest at risk categories at university of california,

that have come... they could take san francisco. other steps to prevent for themselves. and for those of us you will need to pick us both up unlike myself, i have no after the ground after that first comorbidities i'm a 35—year—old, i segment and reading that really long can go and choose to maybe introduction. going to my last six participate in some activities that months, i have not managed to do any someone who is above 68 has of the following, compose concerto, comorbidities. may choose to stay at home. that isn't to say that there learn the musical instrument, run a marathon on my balcony. and i'll should be a widespread lockdown like what a lot of these democrat led know if kathy is to be able to do states are trying to do. and our anything, how can you stop me from courts are starting to recognise feeling like a failure? just cross that under our us constitution there is no power that's given to the those off the list, that is state level governments to restrict productivity pawn and some implanted the freedom that americans enjoy to the idea that this should be a time decide for ourselves what types of of personal achievement. this is a time to get through together and so risk analysis we want to choose for ourselves and our family. drug companies have said they won't release any vaccines that do not especially now, with so much follow rigorous efficacy measures. unpredictability around us, we need for that theyv trials they also need a different mindset and embrace a different set of coping skills.|j time. including the oxford astrazeneca project which is did not realise were going to have a

currently stop. how does that square therapy session on the programme, my with the presidents promise at the turn now. i am a bit of a control rally, the town hall that they are freak and i'd like to know what only given —— within weeks of the likes to happen when it's going to happen and i like to have things vaccine? i think president trump has planned. iam really been very clear that the happen and i like to have things administration is been working very planned. i am really struggling with letting go of control and that seems ha rd administration is been working very hard and there are three different to be the epitome of this pandemic, vaccines that our fias three trials was up but he said within three or we cannot control anything. you and four weeks. that's not what the drug pretty much everyone else relies on companies at all are saying. well i a future that we can plan in. our think that's that's gonna be something that we will see within the next couple of weeks. how these future seems certain this is a vaccines will continue through the phases of trials. and hopefully we extreme psychological challenge to make this change but we have to. he will get there sooner rather than later. this should be rather than decides not just by make this change but we have to. he decides notjust by getting through this year and this pandemic in the such a politically divisive question they should be something that all of selection, we are in a new era of us are championing. getting a return to normal and making sure that we do uncertainty with more climate have a safe and effective vaccine as disasters. we really need to look at soon as possible. i think we can all agree on that. yeah, i think how we view the future and realise, eve ryo ne agree on that. yeah, i think everyone wants that. a safe and effective vaccine. i do want to ask it has always been uncertain, but about evangelical voters. there is a new poll out suggesting that the especially now. what that means is president support among evangelical when we are expecting things to be

people who helped him get power in certain, we are very stressed out, 2016, lucky got 81% of evangelical traumatised when bad things happen. voters. this is a according to pew, and we feel victimized and so, if we very reliable. now according to fox, change or expectation, the future really is unknown and there will be also reliable. 66% in 2020 for some climate crisis and there will be that are declined. help me with my some unexpected things happening and mouth, of 15 points. yeah, i don't what that assumption, it changes think that that's... that's a everything and all of a sudden, what problem is in a? people who are self can we control and what can we do to identified evangelicals, of course feel safe and not feel anxious all the time? i was going to ask you president trumps basis fully supportive of him. i think you get a look and see that margin of 81% actually go up. that's because we that, because of the beginning of are seeing in 2020 how much the that, because of the beginning of that, i thought 0k that, because of the beginning of president has come out and has been that, i thought ok the ceiling rather down and what team we do very supportive of church being respect what would you tell your essential. and we're talking about patients? there is one universal the coronavirus pandemic... so you are saying foxes got it wrong. the that we all live with. we can poll is wrong? i don't think that's accurately reflected. i'm part of the evangelical community. i look at a lot of this data. i know a lot of control now. we can control our day people who are very engaged in this and what is in front of us and community and i don't think that's planninguk a sustainable day is

an accurate poll. i think that you're going to see actual or delete not actually a stronger self critical, of balance day and we have identified in general delete not evangelicals because trump is so committed to religious liberties, some plans we can look forward to, pro—life and also make a short trip charge is essential. that is social distance plans once in a something that even ship eight while and we can still try to go on intelligence buy into. notjust other political consideration. 0kay. with our lives, with the short term thank you very much forjoining the program. goals and we can certainly make very hurricane sally has made tentative plans but the future and, landfall on the gulf coast of the united states we do not know the exact dates and and the slow—moving storm is battering alabama and florida. when it is a little bit tentative. these images come from so for controlling today and our pensecola, florida — and the national weather service has issued — what it calls — current moment, we still may feel a historic, life—threatening anxious. so, there's one more thing flash flooding warning — for the panhandle part we can control now and that is our of the state of florida. we're joined now by skyler henry — physiological anxiety. i believe from cbs news — in mobile alabama. that we all need something, even i want to start with the picture we just for a few minutes because it is have. it's not just i want to start with the picture we have. it's notjust salary that natural to them feel anxiety right i want to start with the picture we have. it's not just salary that they are dealing with potentially on the gulf coast, looked out into the now and scope and it helps us feel safe, but our body needs a break in doing things like taking five ocean, there are five separate big

storms stacked up. ted is out there, minutes to do deep breathing or yoga is just minutes to do deep breathing or yoga isjust going to minutes to do deep breathing or yoga vicki is out there, paulette is out is just going to be minutes to do deep breathing or yoga isjust going to be part minutes to do deep breathing or yoga is just going to be part of her every day now. i feel better. there. how are they coping down there. how are they coping down there on the gulf coast? it's funny is just going to be part of her every day now. i feel betterlj is just going to be part of her every day now. i feel better. i feel that you ask that. i think that as better already. one more thing i we've been here in this region for the last few days, several people wa nt to better already. one more thing i want to say, if we're going to that we spoke with him said that accept that there is an uncertain future, we also need to grasp the while there aren't necessarily worried about where harrick doing optimism and see the glass is that hurricane sally is going, it's half—full so we can plan and control kind of shifted east on the part of a better future where we have more the united states. they are still climate control and less destruction concerned about those other tropical of the climate. thank you very much. storms in that area for that reason. 0bviously, cities like new orleans or biloxi mississippi are all in that kind of projected area that could be impacted by these hurricanes. i think you're starting to see a lot of people particular officials take the necessary precautions in terms of warning stay with us on bbc news, still to come: more on our top story — citizens to either evacuate or we speak to congressman richard neel prepare their buildings. whether about the chances that sandbanks in front of buildings of a uk us trade deal or board up their windows to try to (james) demand for covid—19 tests in the uk has gone up. board up as much storm damage as demand for covid—19 tests possible. we are here in mobile in the uk has gone up. alabama that saw a significant but does that account

for the problems in the testing portion of the storm damage. from regime across the uk? hurricane sally for supper if you health editor, hugh can look behind me you can see pym has this report. several toppled over trees and long waits and frustration for things like that. this is one of the people in south bend at a virus historic parks right in the middle of the city here. basically, what testing centre, further evidence of the immense strain on the whole has been going on so far is showers, system. beth has been trying heavy winds all throughout the day repeatedly since yesterday to book a today. we had officials earlier test, but cannot. she and two of her today. we had officials earlier today rope off all of this park here children as symptoms. is extremely just to try to get people from coming inside of the park. because stressful a nd children as symptoms. is extremely stressful and adding stress to it is there are still several dozen trees already an upsetting time for us and here that could fall at any moment just because of how wet and windy it is here in alabama. schuyler, our the government says that it is testing more than any of the leading european countries and that is the people used to do this every year? to be prepared to evacuate? yeah, case the number expressed relative to the population. there are some smaller european nations doing more. this is hurricane season. i think but laboratories analysing the tests from sometime in the middle of the you're struggling to keep up with summer time all the way up until the workload, the government as new late october, early november. people la bs the workload, the government as new labs are coming on stream, but for a really kind of batten down the hatches and prepare for things like few weeks. cares how much community this. it's always a crossing your fingers kind of thing hoping that testing has gone up in recent weeks. the hurricane doesn't hit your area, so to speak. if you just take a look 0n testing has gone up in recent weeks. on september the 1st, there does

at what's going on this hurricane hundred 19,000 tests processed, that season with all those tropical they lacked capacity, the ability to storms forming as well as the other handle those tests, was 156,000. hurricanes that are formed in recent yea rs, hurricanes that are formed in recent years, you know how significant that of the next couple of weeks, these storms can be and how demand soared with her hundred consequential they can be for these low—lying cities. particularly here 63,000 tests processed in one day. 0n 63,000 tests processed in one day. on september the 10th, capacity was in the united states. in the warnings where if you look a few yea rs warnings where if you look a few years ago with hurricane harvey, hundred 61000 and it would've gone up hundred 61000 and it would've gone upa bit that impacted houston, texas hundred 61000 and it would've gone up a bit over the next few days, but still shows how to type things have significantly. that was a storm that sat there right over texas for become. back in july, several days, flooding that area and still shows how to type things have become. back injuly, people were being actively encouraged to get bringing several dozen inches of tests. if you're just worried, you rain here. what's happening now here have a temperature, you've got a is that you have a lot of people cough, which is not quite sure that arguing about things like climate change and things like that saying you feel right, the sensible thing that those things are importantjust to do in this covid—19 world is to to make sure that everybody is as go and get a test. now it is very prepared as possible should hurricane season impact them. different, capacity is much tighter and the messages that only those 0kay. thank you very much for with symptoms like high temperature should book a test. confusion over what to do may add to the recent joining us wow. those people watching the storms are about to hit search. their way. look at this image, this shows sally hitting the us. that

others storm i think his paulette out there. look at that smoking stuff. there are three more but look a bbc undercover investigation has exposed suppliers from the uk selling bleach at the smoking stuff coming over as a remedy for coronavirus. from california. that great band of as the pandemic raged, secret recording by the bbc has revealed sales of potentially smoke, that's all now covering, dangerous mixtures to supposedly treat those suffering from covid 19. drifting over to the east coast from the west coast. i think this picture 0ne even claimed sales had surged in the wake of controversial for me, apocalyptic. what else can be battering this country? what else comments made by us does mother nature have in store for president donald trump on the potential use us? was the pandemic not an? please. of disinfectant as a treatment. katharine carpenter reports let's just get through this one. for those watching on bbc world news is the best medical minds still work to fully understand covid—19 and — we'll be right back. scientists race to find a vaccine, british airways says it is facing here in north kensington, a woman in the worst crisis in its history. here in north kensington, a woman in her 70s among those that have been the airline has been in a dispute with unions profiting from the crisis of this overjob and pay cuts, pandemic. by selling a dangerous as the demand for air travel collapses. concoction of chemicals as a its chief executive, alex cruz, treatment for coronavirus. this is told the transport select committee that the airline is taking every measure possible to make it through the winter. and, after tip—offs, we found her this is indeed the worst crisis that charging £30 for a bleach based

that charge that carries a maximum sentence of five years in prison. keep in mind — ms kolesnikova is actually a flautist and she has said she does not even consider herself to be a politician. last week she thwarted an attempt by security agents to forcibly this was described as it, sludgy deport her by tearing up her passport on the border with ukraine. sodium chloride. he tested the we arejoined by hanna liubakova — bottles. these were not sure a belarussian journalist and fellow at the atlantic council. some opposition figures that are in coronavirus, it will certainly help disinfect surfaces and would kill the virus, but if you consumed it, excel. how difficult it is sly for it would do you more harm than it belarus now? i can say that it's would good. sending this is not only really hard. firstly for the people because not only she has been dangerous, it is legal. but she told arrested and charged, there is a us her sales went up after these criminal case opened against her. but also a .net criminal cases have controversial comments by president trump. and i see the disinfectant that knocks it out in a minute, one been opened against people all over the country. many activists, women minute and is there a way we could whojoin protests also people do something like that. but the us

the country. many activists, women who join protests also people who are just holding, white flags authorities have been cracking down on those selling this as a treatment protesting in the neighbourhood have for coronavirus and other diseases, been arrested. have been detained saying that it's consumption there for days but also the rise against has let the hospitalizations, life—threatening conditions and death. we don't know how many people criminal case against them. also journalists have been detained. have taken this here in the uk and adverse reaction to it or not yeah, i would say there is this thought to be widespread, but she atmosphere of fear at the moment. was not the only person we found everything, whenever people do selling mms to treat covid—19 in this country and we will be at the firstly, they are trying to protest will alerting the authorities to the obviously for stopped there trying illegal activities that we haven't to protest their discontents. this covered she only supplied health—related products, she claims, repressions are escalating. it's increasing. so people just are asa health—related products, she claims, as a personal supply to friends and acquaintances, which did not cause harms. she denies profiting from the frightened, are scared. hannah, we operator that she offered mms as a are watching the amazing pictures of remedy. she refuted that this was a women trying to grab the security, business that she was not linked to the genesis two church. with the bala clava women trying to grab the security, balaclava sub security people of what you're referring to. these pandemic farfrom the genesis two church. with the pandemic far from over, they women confronting security and the genesis two church. with the pandemic farfrom over, they have warned us to be vigilant and wary of trying to grab their balaclava so those offering false hope at a time they can see who they are. the

of crisis. coverage of the protesters to keep coming out weekend after weekend as a norm is. how much longer do you think they are going to keep going? there is indeed a lot of courage. because people are just angry. they are demands were not met and they the amazon seems to be damaged when have all the reasons to keep shocking images caught the attention protesting. at the same time, the of international leaders and celebrities. scale of repression isjust very dry season on record, high. it is just south america s fires are spiraling scale of repression isjust very out of control ? the amazon this high. it isjust huge. let's remember that. hundreds, thousands year looks set to be at least of people have already left the as damaging as last year, country because they just when shocking images of rainforest fires caught the attention of people have already left the country because theyjust fearing prosecution and criminal cases. any of international leaders and celebrities. but its notjust the iconic amazon ? the world s largest wetlands, also in brazil ? is suffering a similar fate. protests even if hundreds of people 0ur south america correspondent katy watson now reports from para, join in, not mentioning hundreds of the amazonian state worst—affected thousands of people who come out by the fires. every sunday still amazes me. for above the canopy, unmissable signs that the amazon is burning. but it is on the ground where the damage has been done. this virgin forest how long this is going to continue? gone forever. this is one of dozens it's hard to say. but people are very motivated, people are very of fires you have seen while driving through the forest and this is mobilized. again, no demand was met. so they have all the reasons to keep protected area. clearly few people

are paying attention to the fact protesting. hannah, are you scared? that this is been put in place after the international outcry that we saw myself, well i am a journalist. sol last year. if you and would hope think i do have, safety concerns, there is in the government says that fires don't even exist. the fires obviously. i am scared myself but at are all too real. a cocoa producer, the same time i feel protected he shows me where a neighbouring because you know, there is this cattle farm burned its land a few power of information. and it weeks ago. it nearly destroyed his protects me. i think ordinary livelihood. they set fire to the citizens and activists, they have fields after the decree was all reasons to be scared. again, introduced. i don't know why they did not comply with the law. we they keep protesting, they keep coming out to the streets even though they are threatened. there often ask that. they must‘ve special contacts. they know they can commit are criminal cases opened against the crimes and they are not afraid them. and let's just are criminal cases opened against of anything. small farmers face them. and let'sjust remember that them. and let'sjust remember that the scale of repression is very huge. any kind of sunday that people come out to the streets isjust worth remembering and worth paying powerful opposition though. with attention to to what's happening in backing from the president, the the country and belarus. agricultural lobby is more hannah thank you so much. formidable than ever. this part of brazil has become a deforestation stay safe. hotspot and then comes the burning

to make way for fields of capital. microplastics the size of a grain of sand are hidden there is nothing natural about these in everything from fabric conditioner to cosmetics. millions of tonnes gets washed fires. in the key burning and yet he into our seas every year. now, a spin—out company from cambridge university has become the first in the world to make single use plastic out of peas. remains defiant. he slashed the richard westcott reports. budgets of brazil's environmental agencies and instead put the army in everyone in this lab charge of protecting the rain is full of plastic. forest. in earlier this month, he well, their lab coats are, anyway. publicly called environmental people a lot of our clothes are full of tiny little balls with fragrance inside. a cancer. the president has problems it's what makes them smell so nice. of democracy. he cannot deal with now, normally, they're made of plastic, which washes into the environment and stays there for decades. people that have different opinions what if you could make them out of something that's better for the planet? like peas? than him. this is really bad for the this is the first company democracy. in my opinion, the chancellor against the future of in the world to engineer plant protein into a material that does brazil is the government action. the same job as single—use plastic. things like the micro capsules you often get inside a fabric conditioner or cosmetics. at the moment the micro capsules chancellor against the future of brazil is the government actionm is not just brazil is the government actionm contain plastic which will not is notjust the amazon that is

degrade and last for ages burning, further south, the worlds in the ocean. largest wetlands, is also a blaze. 0ur capsules were made out of protein which would be exacerbated by the worst drought for eaten by fish eventually. almost half a century. it is home to it has taken 15 years rare species like jack wyers. those to perfect the process. here, they are using peas, who have survived or badly injured, but you can use other common plants, including potatoes. so many more didn't even stand a chance. bolsa naro sees eventually, it comes out as a liquid that could be made into plastic—like sheets. so many more didn't even stand a chance. bolsanaro sees the amazon as a cash cow, a from resilience to prosper, but the way it's going, this is what the future will be. the so, after the coating has been dried in the oven, it turns into a lovely film, slow death of the worlds biggest which we can then turn forest and time is running out for into a label like that, that's on your apple there. one of the most unique on earth. so, basically, that's the equivalent of a plastic label but i can eat it? yes, it's100% pea protein. 0k. crunching. let s get some of the day s other news very nice! united nations investigators have accused the venezuelan government of committing crimes against humanity to suppress it's hard to eat an apple the political opposition. their report details extrajudicial killings, nicely on camera. enforced disappearance and torture. dishwasher tablets, sandwich the un team also say president nicolas maduro and his interior and defence packets, sweet wrappers, ministers were aware of the crimes and in many cases ordered them. all made of something that

biodegrades naturally in a matter of days. is there a danger that you're just a french court has sentenced replacing one problem with another, so farmers who should be growing the former head of world athletics to four years in prison — food are actually going to grow two of them suspended — peas to make plastic for accepting bribes to cover and we don't have enough food? up evidence of doping. lamine diack was also found guilty there are a lot of waste products of accepting russian money to delay anti—doping procedures. already in the farming process that have got very low value or even are ploughed straight back into the field that can be sold on and used to make our kind of materials. if you're a controversial public single—use plastics and micro plastics don't need to be figure, a good rule of thumb made from fossil fuels. is to make sure that any statues there is something very wrong commisisoned of you are built about making something of non—flammable materials. from materials made from oil that just last for a minute or two. that's the lesson learned it is thought that the average by the artist behind this statue of melania trump. family washes around a0 million family washes around 1a million after the first one made of wood— tiny plastic balls down unveiled in her slovenian the drain every week. several countries are in hometown of sevnica — was burnt down last year. the process of banning them. here is the bronze, and fire proof replacement, now, there is a process of swapping you might be forgiven for not immediatly recognising that harmful plastic the first lady's likeness. for something made from peas. richard westcott, bbc news. that is what the future looks like,

my goodness. why is it not green? i have no idea. maybe pea soup fog. we are maybe pea soup fog. here in the uk we are all told to wear a face covering on public transport or risk a fine. well, katty we thought we'd anything will do as long as it test your powers of recognition with a couple of other questionable covers you nose and mouth. so maybe this passenger on a bus likenessness....we can start in manchester thought with this one. he was abiding by the letter of the lawwhen he used his pet snake. yes. here's another one, numbertwo. a fellow passenger said she thought he it was a ‘funky‘ facecovering until it started moving. no idea. the film star. the final the transport authorites in manchester have confirmed one. the best one and you have to that a snake is not get this one. tv show, 1970s, he's a valid face covering. i'm glad they had to say that. how very cool. the fonz. he always sends dare come people. obviously. did the snake by a bus ticket? all these me quizzes that i never get a single questions. those are your questions? answer. thank you for watching and we will see you back there tomorrow. my questions. those are your questions? my question is how unbelievably stupid is this guy to think that a snake will do. and then he canjust wander around on a bus in manchester with a snake on him. and make sure thank you forjoining me. he had a that nobody sat next to him. oh, my brief burst of summer heat and let

us see what is in store for the next lord. that's a way to get space. see few days and it is not towards you later. eastern parts of europe and it will be in the process and south across the coming days as this court front spreads across western and central parts of europe and certainly cooled the heat of the last few days has off the uk and that will include well and truly gone now. the biggest drop in temperatures was across northern other parts of the continent as parts of the uk today. well. for the rest of the week, it tomorrow, it's going to be will stay settled and not as warm as pleasantly warm across the uk, but best of all, light winds it has been. he was the forecast for and lots of sunshine on the way. really a fabulous day on the way. thursday and spot the clouds in the this is what it looks sky across much of the country, like on the weather map, high pressure centred certainly england and wales, clear blue skies, beautiful weather across scotla nd across scotland, and this cool front blue skies, beautiful weather across scotland with just a few scattered clouds or in the northwest, plus here is responsible for bringing fresher conditions from the north. temperatures ranging from around 16 you can see where the winds blowing to 21 degrees and so closer to where from, from straight out of norway they should be at this time of the there across the north sea, year. not much change from on friday and you can see the cool front here moving across denmark and just but the breezes would be picking up grazing the east coast of england, across more southern parts of the so it has been a little more cloudy here. uk, so it will take the edge across and hence, those temperatures have been quite a bit lower too. some of these north sea coast, but in the south, still pretty warm, the evening's been fairly warm still a very pleasant day wherever

and the night's going to stay fairly you are, in fact in glasgow and mild as well, particularly across the south and edinburgh, it will be around 20 degrees and that is because there is the south west of the uk. here, despite clear spells, a high—pressure care and is keeping temperatures will probably hold around the mid—teens. things calm and subtle but notice so, early on thursday morning, i suspect around 15, that towards the south, there was a 16 degrees, for example, plymouth and also low pressure looming and that will the channel islands. see this increase in breeze, the wind is trying to spin itself into to the north east, it's going to be that low, which is just quite a bit fresher. wind is trying to spin itself into that low, which isjust off wind is trying to spin itself into that low, which is just off the edge of the screen here you can see these in the highlands, around single figures, and the north east of england as well. blobs of blue indicating the possibility of a few showers coming so, tomorrow morning might start off through and they‘ re possibility of a few showers coming through and they're going to be very cloudy in one or two places, hit and miss across uk but the but the sun will be out. it really is going to be a beautiful thinking is that they will arrive just in time for the weekend and we day right across the uk, know it looks like there's a lot of with the exception of the extreme northwest here. maybe a bit more cloud, rainfall here, but this is going to be very hidden this, some of us will but i think in the lowlands of scotland, through lancashire, get the showers in the south and the midlands, down towards the south others will miss them altogether and coast of england, it's mostly sunny in fact, as we head towards the skies and temperatures around normal second half of sunday, certainly for the time of the year. into monday, those showers will fade here's friday's forecast. again, much of the same, a lot of fine weather across the uk, and so overall, for most of us, the but the breeze is going to be outlook is looking drive. sunday and picking upjust a bit monday, we will see that the weather front and the low pressure finally fade from the south and across the south of the country.

in fact, it might take the edge of the temperatures closer to the north sea coasts, and that's because low—pressure is forming just to the south of us, around the bay of biscay. high pressure still in charge of the weather across the bulk of the country, but notice there is a weather front hugging the south coast of england and there's just the possibility of some showers. now, the blue here indicates showers and showers can be very hit—and—miss, so the chances are, for any one location in the south, pretty low to catch a shower, so that's why we've got predominately dry weather here in our forecast. but overall, i'm sure you'll agree, it's not looking bad 00:28:34,653 --> 4294966103:13:29,430 at all for most of us. right at us next week so that doesn't mean low pressure systems will be forming and bringing us some spells of wind and rain. you can see that well into next week. but it does look as though monday and

tuesday. this isn't this week this is the following week so well into the future you can see that the weather turns a little bit more u nsettled weather turns a little bit more unsettled than let's summarise the next ten days. this week is looking fine, they'll probably be some showers in the south probably this weekend and then next weekend gradually is going to turn a little more unsettled. bye— bye.

tonight at ten — more evidence of the severe difficulties faced

by adults and children needing tests for coronavirus. as the queues grow longer ministers admit there's still a lack of capacity as they promise improvement within weeks. everybody can see, just in the last few days, a colossal spike in the number of people who want tests. they've had six months, mr speaker, to get this right, and yet the prime minister still can't deliver on his promises. i'm ina i'm in a bolton town with the highest covid infection rate in the whole of the uk but where residents are still struggling to access testing. we'll have more on the uk's hotspots — including the north—east of england, which is facing new
