against climate change your gender is scheduled to focus on the fight against inequality. us will go to the go season's final go image has a fine line between affection and frustration all to ok stop is coming up a new sport is because this want is a real cliffhanger. i'm headed home free glad you could join me international concern is mounting over the record number of wildfires in the amazon in brazil french president's money when a call has called it quote an international crisis tweeting our house is burning literally the amazon rain forest the lungs which produce 20 percent of all planet's oxygen is on fire but brazil's president. has slammed the remarks us quote

sensationalist saying mccall is trying to make postal political gains in what he calls an internal matter for brazil. also not always he says that his country knocks the resources to fight the fire as well controversially he's accused environmental groups to soften the fires in a bid to embarrass the government effects of the blazes be felt far beyond the areas on fire. the amazon a blaze thousands of hectares disappearing every day this map shows the extent nearly 40000 individual fires burning right now. there are competing explanations for why this is happening. brazil's president is defiant he blames foreign backed environmental groups for setting the blazes to discredit him or his bit of their budget n.g.o.s have lost money without money from norway and germany they're without jobs so what do they do they try to bring me down. who what about them.

there are strict laws in place but critics say president balsa narrow has failed to enforce them and encourage loggers and ranchers to claim the amazon basin as their own problem if you will then the problem is that the government abandoned policies abandoned know how and has an attitude of disgust towards environmental scientists and activists that means. the impact is felt most immediately by indigenous people who have made the rainforest their home for centuries. this is with each passing day we see the destruction and runs deforestation and logging. was sent because the forest dies a bit and at every moment we feel the climate changing. the world needs the forests we need it and no children need it. but both scenario made developing the

amazon into a campaign promise one he's not likely to give up easily. well german chancellor angela merkel has joined mccall in calling for brazil's finest to be on the agenda of the group of 7 summit that starts on saturday france is hosting the summit in the coastal city of bear it's an activist there drew a link between the blazes in the amazon and inequality saying global poverty is another kind of fire that threatens the world security is high in there it's what promises to be a challenging summit in addition to brazil's fires just g 7 leaders face a range of thorny issues including migration u.s. iran relations and international trade. or more what we can expect from the g. 7 summit i'm joined now from barrett's by my colleague a org matus good to see you georg now we know the french president of money way back on german chancellor angela merkel both want the brazil fires on the g 7 agenda could the summit's

realistically do anything to address this crisis. but it will be very interesting to see and the big question of course is will the summit speak with one voice one voice being really a big wad on the summit where there's so much disagreement now german chancellor on that subject make you she is concerned but the french president went a step further by saying that he would be ready to pluck a trade steel that the european commission hammered out for the whole of the e.u. the negotiators in 20 years with the so-called markets will states and brazil is one of them to make a trade deal with them now the friend of the french but also the irish government have set unless they see some more action against these wildfires from brazil they would be ready to pluck that straight steel is now you have to understand that the trade deal has been negotiate by the european commission but it needs to be ratified by each an individual of the 2080 you member states if one of the states

is not ratifying the deal the deal is practically dead so it's strong was from the french president and now of course inequality is the top male topic at is as it were that's what everyone is meant to be talking about oxfam says that there is a double problem of the well the climate crisis centrally compounding inequality how will leaders be getting to grips with that. well on this i have an eye on this the 7 summit the french president took took a precaution after donald trump on the last 2000 a meeting walked away not signing a comma common declaration of mutual declaration so there would not be a declaration but the french president does want some tangible results not just on the wildfires but to particularly on the inequality in africa so a number of subjects he's invited on a number of african leaders and a number of key subjects are on the agenda such as providing more credits more money for particularly female entrepreneurialism africa providing more support for educational and environmental projects now these are just

a few examples of the things that will happen but you can't help but absolve is that the effort by the french president to broaden the agenda is also sort of signifying that the problems of the world can noble longer be resolved by an exclusive club of of 7 states 7 states who do not agree on many things but they need other leaders to come along we're talking about that and in broadening agenda then the wall fails what else will be on that agenda where the french president met with the russian president putin so expect ukraine to be on the agenda as well and that will be an interesting discussion particularly seeing that trump wanted to readmit putin to the g. 7 something that all the others have ruled out basically and also the french president met with the iranian foreign minister so the iran nuclear deal another divisive subject will be on the agenda right carol matters in berets for us thank
