A special report from the amazon on the vital role played by its trees as more and more are cut down. And the fairytales over for 15 year old coco gough but britainsJohanna Konta makes it to the quarterfinals. And coming up on sportsday on bbc news. No party for barty at wimbledon as the world number one is beaten by americas alison riske in the fourth round. Good evening. President trump has accused theresa may of making a mess of brexit as he gave a damning assessment of the uks government. In a series of tweets tonight he said he had told the Prime Minister what she should do on brexit and she had chosen to go another way. It comes after leaked emails from the uks ambassador to washington which described Donald Trumps adminstration as inept. The president said he would no longer deal with the ambassador Sir Kim Darroch and that thankfully the british people would soon have a new Prime Minister. Our north america correspondent, nick bryant, reports. Asa as a personal level it always looked like an awkward rather than a special relationship. The reserved vigorous daughter alongside the brash manhattan tycoon this is not the first time that donald trump has criticised two is a mate but it is his most brutal assault. Criticised theresa may. I have been very critical about the way the uk and Prime Minister theresa may handled brexit, he fumed on twitter. What a mess she and her representatives have created. I told her how it should be done but she decided to go another way. I do not know the ambassador but he is not liked a well thought of within the us. We will no longer deal with him. The good news for the wonderful United Kingdom is that they will soon have a new Prime Minister. While i thoroughly enjoyed the magnificent state visit last month, it was the queen who i was most impressed with. The ambassador he is referring to of course is Sir Kim Darroch, britains man in washington, whose leaked secret messages to london described donald trump and his administration as inept, insecure, and incompetent. Yesterday the president singled out the ambassador for criticism. Now he has broadened his attack. His terror raid came just hours after theresa may said she had full faith in Sir Kim Darroch but did not agree with his views. Her spokesman described the leak is just unacceptable and said that downing street had made contact with the white house. Meanwhile a whitehall whodunnit is the Foreign Office mounted an investigation to find out who leaked e mails and just as importantly, why. As for Sir Kim Darroch he seemed safe in a job that he will soon leave anyway after four yea rs he will soon leave anyway after four years in washington. Many people in this building do not agree with that view, it is a personal view and indeed i do not agree with some of the views that we saw in those letters. The Us Administration is highly effective and we have the warmest of relationships and a Partnership Based on standing up for shared values. During his state visit to london before tea at Clarence House with the prince of wales donald trump shook hands with the ambassador. He has now made him persona non grata. Clearly he still has fond memories of all the pageantry at the palace when he went out of his way to show respect for the british monarch but rarely has an american president displayed such public disdain for british Prime Minister. Tonight in washington britain has an ambassador who seemingly is unable to do hisjob. Cold shouldered by the white house. Donald trump signalled the Transatlantic Relations would improve with the new Prime Minister and clearly he favours Boris Johnson. But worth remembering perhaps his words from 2015, when he described donald trump as a man of stupefying ignorance over his comments about london crime that made him unfit to be president of the United States. Our Political EditorLaura Kuenssberg is in salford ahead of the tory Leaders Debate tomorrow night. An extraordinary attack on the Prime Ministerfrom the president how worried will the government be . Even by Donald Trumps standards this is a chore dropping affairfor that the government has not officially said much other than the foreign secretary pointing out that these were the personal views of Sir Kim Darroch. And downing street saying they had full confidence in Sir Kim Darroch. One level of government tell me tonight it is frustrating but they are sure that the relationship will be able to continue and they will be able to get over this but less officially a senior conservative said to me in no Uncertain Terms we cannot bow to this kind of lunacy. The suggestion that a serving president of a foreign country can give the p 45 to one of our senior diplomats with a few characters on social media but i think the reality is this government and the next government has tried to discount the most maverick parts and elements of donald trump, to put its teeth and get on with trying to have a good and effective working relationship with the Us Government asa relationship with the Us Government as a whole being rather than worrying about every detail on Donald Trumps twitter feed. And because theresa may is a soon to be leaving and Sir Kim Darroch already made it clear he would move on to his next post, in terms of what will actually happen as a direct result of this thai red tonight, the answer to that is probably not very much. But this will put a giant microscope onto the choice of who is sent to be the next ambassador from this country to the United States under a new Prime Minister and just how will jeremy hunt Boris Johnson new Prime Minister and just how will jeremy hunt borisjohnson cope with donald trump as their closest international ally. When they try to get close to him, to try to bend to his will or will they show a determination not to be pushed around whatever he says when the mood takes him and he picks up his phone to send a tweet. And perhaps when the candidates for downing street appear in the north west tomorrow night the question of how they will handle that relationship may be something they will have to answer. Its feared that tens of millions of pounds of public money has been lost to fraudsters who are targeting the governments universal credit benefits system. The bbc has learnt that the scammers often pretend to be from the localjob centre. They offer to get money on behalf of claimants in return for a fee. Their victims often only realise theyve been duped when their current benefits stop, theyre left in debt and have to repay the money to the government. Around 100,000 requests for universal credit loans are made each month its thought about 10 per cent are fraudulent according to a government source, with a typical illegal loan totalling around 15 hundred pounds. It means fraud with universal credit is potentially four times higher than with other benefits. With this exclusive report, heres our social Affairs Correspondent michael buchanan. Universal credit is a new service that helps ensure youre better off in work than you are on benefits. Its the welfare benefit that has become the fraudsters friend. And how much did you get . Er, in my bank account was £1,525. And how much did you have to pay in . £1,000. Exploiting an online loophole, to leave people in debt. He told me to put in for universal credit. And that was the first you knew of it . And that was the first i knew. Tens of millions of pounds stolen from taxpayers. To see that its happening on this extent is an absolute scandal. Jade thomas is a victim of the fraudsters. She was offered £500 by a man who said he could access government grants. Unbeknown to her, the mum of five was signed up online for universal credit. The first she knew was when her other benefits were stopped and she went to thejob centre. They told me that theyd signed up for five children with different names, children i dont have, with different ages. They told me that id been signed up with a five bedroom house, when im only in a three. The fraudster took two thirds of the £1,500 hed claimed on her behalf. The money was a loan. She has to pay it all back to the government. But she wasnt the only one. Id say altogether, theres one before me, me and my friend, and four to five others. So, about seven, eight people. And he was signing you all up fraudulently for universal credit . Yes. In an hourortwo . Mm hmm. So, over those couple of hours, he made thousands of pounds. Yep. Job Centre Officials say the extent of the fraud is staggering, that money is pouring out of the public purse. Messages on an internal government online forum, seen by the bbc, highlight the extent of the problems. How many more times can claimants add children named ha, ha and ha to their uc claims or add a landlord called harry kane . This is a massive issue. They are literally making up street names and children. I had lisa, bartand homer recently, simpsons cartoon characters. A lot of what we see is uni students being approached to make a claim for a fee. 19 years old with six blind children. The loss of taxpayers money could be in the region of £20 million. This is absolutely a slap in the face to people who are struggling and in poverty that the government are wasting money on fraud that they should be stopping and preventing, before this roll out goes any further. Angela parry is now paying the cost of being scammed. Shes being investigated forfraud, after a man claimed he could offer her a payday loan but, instead, signed her up for universal credit. So, are you going to have to pay £60 a month until you repay the 1,500 . Yeah. And youve lost the benefits you were on . Yep. What have the past few weeks been like . A bit daunting, thinking about my rent, council tax and things. Where im going to get the food, where im going to get gas and leccy, and theyve told me to go to a food bank. One irony of these problems is that universal credit was actually designed to save £1 billion in fraud and error. Tonight the department for work and pensions say they were aware of the scam and had a team working to identify cases and they say in the context of around 2 Million People on universal credit only a small number of people are being affected. It isa number of people are being affected. It is a problem is to do with the design of universal credit, by paying people in arrears and then making them wait weeks for the first payment we found some people could not cope and decided to speed up the process and make these advance loans easier to get but in doing so it seems they have allowed fraudsters to make off with tens of millions of pounds. Heather mills, the campaigner and former wife of sir Paul Mccartney, has settled her legal action for phone hacking against the former newspaper news of the world. It closed eight years ago. She received a substantial but undisclosed sum and an apology. Our special correspondent lucy manning has more. Congratulations, both of you. The appearance of Heather Mills in the newspapers increased with her engagement to sir Paul Mccartney in 2001. She was already a campaigner and charity worker, but the stories in the news of the world obtained by phone hacking ruined, she said, her charity, her reputation, and family life. At the high court today, she got an apology and a significant pay out from the former publisher of the newspaper. The feeling i have is one of joy and vindication. My motivation to win this decade long fight stemmed from a desire to obtain justice. Not only for my family, my charities and myself, but for the thousands of innocent members of the public who, like me, have suffered similar ignominious criminal treatment, at the hands of one of the worlds most powerful media groups. Ms mills was around one of 90 people, including sir eltonjohn, who agreed a pay out over phone hacking. While the company admitted phone hacking was used at news of the world, they didnt admit it had happened at one of their other newspapers, the sun. A lawyer for news Group Newspapers, which published the news of the world, said it offered its sincere apologies to Heather Mills and to her sister for the distress caused by the invasion of privacy, that it shouldnt have happened, and it had no right to intrude into their private lives in this way. With millions of pounds of pay outs for phone hacking continuing, and other publishers like mirror Group Newspapers also settling cases, there are calls for reinstating the inquiry into the media, which the government cancelled. Im sure theres more settlements to come. This is just one of many that weve already had. But what we really need is part two of the leveson inquiry, which was set up to take place after all the criminal investigations had finished, to actually uncover these stories. Victims of phone hacking included politicians, celebrities, royalty, the murdered schoolgirl milly dowler, and other ordinary people caught up in news events. I am very confident that the newspaper industry has changed its ways and things like this do not happen, certainly not on any significant scale. Heather mills wont be the last hacking victim. At least 200 more claims against newspapers are in the pipeline. Lucy manning, bbc news. British airways says it will challenge a record fine imposed by regulators after a major data breach last year. Some of the largest fines imposed by the information commissioner before today had been to Companies Like yahoo, facebook and uber. But a change in the law means bas fine now dwarfs previous ones. The company says it will appeal the decision. Hundreds, possibly thousands ofjobs are at risk at deutsche banks uk operations as part of a company reorganisation. Some workers appeared to be leaving the firms offices in london with their belongings earlier today. The bank is beginning a Restructuring Programme to cut 18,000 jobs around the world, amounting to a fifth of its global workforce. The biggest labour supporting trade unions have agreed a common position on brexit. They say theyd back a referendum on any deal brokered by a conservative government, or on a no deal brexit, and they would expect labour to campaign to remain in the eu. It clears the way for labours shadow cabinet to change policy tomorrow afterjeremy corbyn said he would listen to the unions before making a move. Lets speak to our Political Correspondent iain watson. How significant is this . I think it is very significant actually because put quite simply, where the unions that fund the labour party go today, the labour leadership is likely to go tomorrow. Jeremy corbyn has been under huge pressure to shift his position on brexit following the poor European Election results so the unions are now saying the party should not simply campaignfora now saying the party should not simply campaign for a referendum on the conservative deal, it should explicitly back remain in that referendum. It is not a complete u turn because they are also saying if there is a snap election and labour wins, they would expect a labour wins, they would expect a Labour Government to negotiate a brexit deal of its own and then put that to a referendum. In a sign they havent found a Silver Bullet to kill off labour divisions on this issue, deputy leader tom watson thinks this policy doesnt go far enough, whereas a prominent labour mp said tonight she thinks the whole idea is stupid. Thank you. Over the last week weve been looking at the threat deforestation poses to the amazon rainforest. It represents one of the biggest sources for capturing Carbon Dioxide on the planet. Butjust how significant is the rainforest in helping to limit the rise in Global Temperatures . Our science editor David Shukman reports. This must be the hardest way to investigate why the trees of the amazon are so important. Climbing right up into them. Down on the ground a scientist, erica boehringer, is asking for samples of the leaves. Her assistant, way up above, cuts away a few branches and throws them down. According to erica, understanding the forest is vital. For me it is really important because the amazon cannot speak up, the trees cannot speak up. They cannot say that they are worth it and they have a value, they are really important. So i made this my life. Erica has studied the same batch of trees for ten years now, measuring exactly how they are growing and how they affect the climate. They are helping us, forfree, to remove carbon from the atmosphere and put it in the forest and lock it up in here. This matters to the whole world because of the sheer size of this forest. We have used graphics to show how the billions of leaves are breathing in Carbon Dioxide, a gas which is heating up the planet. As human activity keeps adding more and more Carbon Dioxide into the air, Magnificent Trees like this pull a lot of it in. But chop it down and burn it, and all the carbon that has been stored inside over the many years is suddenly released back to the atmosphere, which of course increases the speed of global warming. In the last few months, the rate of deforestation here has suddenly increased. The new government of brazil wants to encourage development. Creating fields where there used to be forest. So ericas research is all the more urgent. In this lab she studies the leaves collected from the forest. To work out how much carbon the amazon holds. It is the equivalent of america burning fossil fuels for nearly a century. 97 years of the us fossil fuel emissions, that is how much carbon there is in this place. Because a big tree might store three tonnes of carbon, four tonnes of carbon. Its a lot of carbon. But the forest is about more than carbon and climate change. It is home to an extraordinary variety of creatures and it is unique. It is so wonderful, it is so full of life, it is so full. Just so beautiful. And to lose it, its never going to come back again, we are never going to be able to build an amazon. Its going to be gone forever. So once it has gone, it hasjust gone. All that is left where forest once stood, a stark reminder of what is vanishing and of consequences for the rest of the world. David shukman, bbc news, in the amazon. Voting is now under way for more than 160,000 conservative Party Members who are choosing the next Prime Minister. Whoever wins will have to try to win over the whole country, notjust their own party. Our Political EditorLaura Kuenssberg is in the north west of england to see what people make of borisjohnson and jeremy hunt. Enjoying the spectacle . Or wishing the tories would just stop their games . Trafford is a conservative seat but the front runner borisjohnson wont persuade gail. Mr hunt. Why do you say that . Dont like borisjohnson. Just something about him. Did you vote in the European Election . I did. I voted for mr farage sorry. Im not a fan of boris. And then, yeah, jeremy hunts fox hunting comment just. I definitely wouldnt be able to vote for him after that. This is remain territory but laura statham, who runs this business, prefers the chief brexiteer. I think boris is a character and i think hes strong willed, and in that respect i think he would be quite good. But whoever wins, what do families actually want the new Prime Minister to concentrate on . Obviously more police and obviously more budget for the nhs would be best, yeah. And from what youve heard so far, have you heard anything that makes you think, oh, i know who i would like it to be . No idea. Both men hoping to be Prime Minister have clocked up the miles talking to tory members, though, not most of us. Remember, in theory this is a purely conservative contest, but in practice borisjohnson orjeremy hunt will have to govern for us all. Notjust stitching together the two warring sides of the tory party, but leave or remain, north or south, town and country. In labour warrington, there was a strong vote to leave in 2016. I voted to come out. So for many like margaret and frank, its straightforward now. Definitely borisjohnson. Why . Well, hes natural the way he comes over explaining things on television. He is definitely the next Prime Minister, definitely. Id sack them. Youd sack both of them . I would. Why do you say that . None of them are worth the money. They shouldnt be where they are. Why do you say that . Theyre disgusting. Why do you think theyre disgusting . Theyre not fighting for us. Theyre only looking after themselves. Boris is saying, yes, we will be out, deal or no deal. Jeremy hunt isnt giving a direct answer on that, i dont think. And why does that matter to you . Well, weve had that much indecision over the last two, three years weve had to get out. I think we should be out. He is a character. He can maybe get what he wants, but is it what britain want . Thats the question. Like you said, is he reliable . I dont know. I cant stand borisjohnson, but thatsjust me. You know, but. So its the other one. Whats the other ones name did you say . Jeremy hunt. Wholl be the chosen one, though . Only two weeks left for the tories to make up their minds. Laura kuenssberg, bbc news, cheshire.

But the crowds ovation spoke volumes. The fans here have found a new star. It blows my mind, how people kind of stood beside me and helped me. I mean, definitely in my last match, they definitely made an influence on me winning or losing the match. Even when i was down match point, they were cheering me on. And even after the match, they were cheering. So that was crazy. And while her tournament might be over, for tennis, this could be just the start of something very special.
