With a Record Number of wildfires raging across the amazon, there is mounting alarm worldwide. The french president called the situation an International Crisis brazils president has said his government lacks the resources to fight the fires, and Jair Bolsonaro has accused other countries who give money to preserve the rainforest of doing so, not for charity, but to interfere with brazilian sovereignty. But conservationists have blamed his government for whats happening, saying the president has encouraged the clearing of land by loggers and farmers. The fires in brazils rainforest rage on. This year there have been a Record Number. Satellites have identified over 75,000, most of them located in the amazon basin. The situation has become increasingly worse over the last three weeks with smoke from the raging fire is now covering over half the country. Frances president Emmanuel Macron has labelled the situation in the amazon as an International Crisis that needs to be on top of the agenda at the g7 summit, kicking off on sunday in a french seaside town. But the brazilian president said the comment evokes a colonialist mindset and hit the International Criticism ina and hit the International Criticism in a facebook video. Translation those countries that send money here are not doing it for charity. I hope eve ryo ne are not doing it for charity. I hope everyone can understand that. They do it because they have a vested interest. They want to interfere with our sovereignty. They are looking for riches under the soil. The president has, for the first time, acknowledge that farmers in the is on us five clear the land. That he has also accused non Governmental Organisations to conversation is to blame his government saying they he has encouraged clearing. Translation actually, it is Jair Bolsonaro responsible for what is happening in the arm is on. He promotes policies that encourage environmental crime which make culprits feel co mforta ble.

Global warming. The british Prime Minister Boris Johnson will hold his first meeting this weekend with president donald trump. It comes after separate talks over the last two days with the german chancellor and the french president all part of mrjohnsons attempt to change the brexit deal negotiated by his predecessor, theresa may. So how has it all gone for the british Prime Minister and what can we expect at the g7 . With me in the studio is mark davies, ceo at strategy consultancy, camberton. Lets start with the week that was. He has been to germany and to france. How have those trips gone . How is it was received . As well as he could have hoped, really. He was well received and they gave him something to play with, throwing the ball back into his court and they have been positive. Borisjohnson is all about positivity and he has come away saying he likes a can do spirit. They gave him something to work with and i think that was all that could be expected at this stage. And throwing forward, it is the first meeting with donald trump who has expressed some view that there could be some trade deal in there could be some trade deal in the pipeline, a phenomenal deal he said at one point, between the uk and the us. How likely is it that we would see any breakthrough over the weekend . Unlikely. That is not in donald trump osma gift. And when he says that we should take it with a pinch of salt. That is within the gift of congress and it depends on what happens with the irish order. If there is a problem there in conflicts with the friday agreement that we will not get a trade deal through congress of any decent sort. There will not be a breakthrough on that. From a g7 perspective, they just hope that they will get to the end of the g7 in a better state than in the last one because then the issue with the communique and donald trump put out a statement saying that he did not agree with it. The entire thing dissolved quickly, didnt it . Lets talk about what the g7 is for. The one in canada was a bit of a disaster. Is this really the state of play in the International Order . They coalesce around aon agreement about inequality, trade or the environment . They are not about to make some major breakthrough there either. Much of the talk will be around brexit, for obvious reasons, and no one could make any progress on that until we get back into a parliamentary session and people get the chance to see what parliament is going to say to the Prime Minister because it is all very well for macron and merkel to have a view but if they think that parliament is going to throw out no deal, they will take a very different approach to it than what they would if they thought the contrary. So until we get to that first week in september and see how parliamentary to the month that borisjohnson has had in charge, were not going to be in position to move forward internationally. Thank you very much, come back with us to look through the papers later on. Lets brief you on some of the other stories making the news. The United Nations Security Council has held a special meeting to discuss what russia and china see as the threat posed by american medium range missiles. The pentagon has announced its first Cruise Missile test since it withdrew from the intermediate Nuclear Forces treaty, which dates from the cold war. South korea has terminated its intelligence sharing pact with japan the latest in a tit for tat dispute that has damaged the two countries trade and diplomatic relationship. Recently japan has removed south koreas favoured trade Partner Status and imposed export controls on its Important Electronics sector. The tensions date back to a dispute over reparations for japans occupation of korea. Interpol has issued a red notice, asking governments around the world to help find and detain a former colombian rebel leader charged in the us with Drug Trafficking offences. Jesus santrich went into hiding at the end ofjune. Colombian authorities believe he fled into neighbouring venezuela. He helped negotiate a historic peace deal between the farc and the colombian government. A second attempt by bangladeshi officials to repatriate Rohingya Refugees to myanmar has failed no one turned up to board the vehicles to take them back across the border. In recent years thousands have sought refuge in bangladesh, fleeing violence by the military in myanmar. The government there had approved the return of more than 3,000 but what hapens next is unclear. Leigh milner reports. There were buses waiting to take people back to me and mark but no rush to board them. Back to myanmar. Translation until now of the families interviewed we have not found anybody willing to go but we expect at any moment they may change their mind to go. This is the second attempt to repatriate some of the wreckage of refugees. The first was just as unsuccessful. Rohingya myanmar refuses to recognise them as an ethnic group and denies them citizenship. Translation mac we will not go back. We want to go along with armed forces from other countries. I am still cared as they scared as they tortured thousands of people and killed many of my relatives and iam and killed many of my relatives and i am scared to go back. I am scared. If they release all our people now in jail then if they release all our people now injail then we will go if they release all our people now in jail then we will go back, otherwise we will not go back. If we get back our homes, land and belongings then we will go. We are ready to go back. The failed repatriation efforts, is a un report revealed the extent to which the appointment military system used Sexual Violence including gang rape as part of a strategy to intimidate the rohingya in 2016 and 2017. And the rohingya in 2016 and 2017. And the un themselves have doubt that womack is ready for the return of the refugees. We do not think that the refugees. We do not think that the situation is yet ready for any significant return. But i think we need to work to make it ready. We need to work to make it ready. We need to work so that the situation can be conducive for the rohingya, that there can be safety. Failed effo rts that there can be safety. Failed efforts this week coincide with the second anniversary of the 2017 crackdown in rakhine state. For the majority, the prospect of returning home still remains an unlikely outcome. This weekend, the one year countdown to the 2020 tokyo paralympics takes place. Its the second times that japan has hosted the games, and this time organisers are hoping there will be a fundamental change in how disability is viewed in the country. Nikki fox has been to tokyo to see how accessible the city is. In a years time, this city will be hosting the Paralympic Games so not only will we see 4,000 odd athletes arriving with all kinds of disabilities, there will also be disabled media, spectators. Josh josh has lived here for 12 years. Hes now a japanese citizen and runs the website accessible japan so who better to give me a tour . Hajimemashite, josh. Ive lost you now. Its really busy, isnt it . It can be, especially during rush hour but if you avoid those peak times, its still pretty easy to get around. Ive always wanted to try this crossing. This is the famous crossing, isnt it . Yes, this is the shibuya scramble. Josh, were going to die. Come on, josh. I wondered if i would survive the crossing. I dont think im ever seen a street this busy in my entire life. Im going to follow you. So theres steps there. If would be good if you had a ramp. But there is no ramp at all, there is just a step to get in. Is there anything you think i will have a problem with . Yes, a couple of issues, i think. Definitely hotels is one of the big ones. Right now, there are only 0. 4 of hotel rooms injapan that are accessible. Restaurants, traditionally a lot of restaurants will have a step into them. It divides the house from the area and its important culturally injapan but its a big barrier for people with disabilities. Is getting around ok . I generally only use Public Transportation and buses and subways are over 90 accessible. So weve arrived at the station. Is that station . Is that the lift you would use . Yeah. You just tell them where you want to go and they will put something down for you and when you get to your destination, there is someone waiting for you. If it was like that in london, i wouldnt drive everywhere. Where are we going now . I am absolutely starving but we cant find anywhere to actually go. Ok, were going to miss out on a sandwich there. There is starbucks but we cant get into starbucks because there is a step. On the right hand side, there is a Department Store. If in doubt, Department Store food. Ok, on it. I sort of always wanted to live in japan and come to japan. With paralympics coming, its a great idea for tokyo to learn about accessibility ideas and ways of doing things from other areas around the world, for people coming with disabilities so it will be a Good Opportunity for tokyo to expand. But you must absolutely love it here. Oh, forsure, yeah. Stay with us on bbc news still to come 75 years on a Museum Dedicated to the war time liberation of paris prepares to open its doors.

Our headlines brazils president says his government doesnt have the resources to fight the Record Number of wildfires raging across the amazon rainforest. After talks with the leaders of germany and france Boris Johnson looks forward to a meeting with donald trump. Over 2,000 young people in denmark havejust started their conscription, which is legally required for danish men. But this year, the danish army has welcomed a significant number of female recruits. The bbcs catherine karelli reports. In denmark as soon as they turn 18, men are called on to do their military service. Women dont have the same obligation. This is marie, she says shejoined the same obligation. This is marie, she says she joined the army because she says she joined the army because she wanted to try something new. Im here to challenge myself, i came has golf i was in a glass only with girls soi golf i was in a glass only with girls so i thought this might be fun. And she is by no means the only one intrigued by the prospect of joining the army. The proportion of women in the danish army has risen rapidly 17 last year to over 24 this year. This airbase in particular has reported a significant rise in women serving this year. Officers say this hasnt been any difference to the training programme. Everyone he has slipped together, its together and bates babes together which raises boundaries. There is no us and then relationship between men and women because they all spent 2a hours a day with each other. The danish military has been trying to encourage women tojoin military has been trying to encourage women to join its ranks for a long time. At first it reduces the height requirement for the world god. Then it launch a recruitment drive and less inspiration day specifically aimed at women. And judging by the numbers, it looks like its working. In the second part of series on how to help with housing crisis around the world, we are in amsterdam. During the economic crisis, the city began encouraging more self building, thats when citizens plan or sometimes build their homes themselves. So how has it affected the way the citys homes are built . Caroline davies has been to discover more. Amsterdam, a city of over 800000 and growing. It had difficulties building and up homes, the city started charging its citizens to finance and planet themselves. Only a few years ago this area was full of warehouses until it was sold cheaply to self elders like thomas. If we are going to do this adventure, we want to go experimental so it was never meant to bea experimental so it was never meant to be a standard house. It may look beautiful but its not been easy. We moved in three is ago, and it was finished. So we didnt have electricity, toilet, water, whatever. We had a moment where friends only ask us how is the house doing . Until the financial crash, absent and didnt happen so building, now it encourages it saying it can be cheaper, helps build communities and by hd architecture. Since 2011, there have been plots about 2000 440 plots. About 70 of this land is just was a building. The city in cystic and before anyone. Funny thing is, so building is notjust before anyone. Funny thing is, so building is not just for one before anyone. Funny thing is, so building is notjust for one group. It is scattered all over the different incomes so you have very rich river, there is an island over there i think it starts with 1 million euros, but you also have his housing cooperatives were people organise themselves in rent at social housing to themselves. Just outside the city, it has been done ona outside the city, it has been done on a much bigger scale. This is farmer that has now been set aside for 15,000 self build homes. This is a much more extreme form of self building. Of you can pretty much design whatever you like matthew have to put in your own water, your own overtures to, you even have to work with your neighbours to build the road. Here, that hasnt scared off new residents. Advocates of self build say one of the biggest hurdles to encouraging use of builders is to getting use to the idea of getting doing it themselves. The architect behind this project says he sees the way the world is looking at building homes, changing. He sees the way the world is looking at building homes, changinglj he sees the way the world is looking at building homes, changing. I see an upcoming market or critical people that people are critical of their environment, who have more ideals. It has to do with the a cce pta nce ideals. It has to do with the acceptance of the Younger Generation to do what themselves. More complex than buying off the shelf, self build is not for everyone. It can be an important part of the city s housing allowing the public to take building homes into their own hands. Now its time to get all the latest from the bbc sports centre. Hello, im Gavin Ramjaun, and this is your friday sport briefing. We start with the cricket, wherejofra archer made the headlines at headingley, taking six australian wickets, on a rain affected opening day of the 3rd ashes test in leeds. Archer took six wickets for 45 runs as australia were bowled out forjust 179 on day one. Their plight would have been a lot worse, if it wasnt for a Century Partnership between david warner and marnus labuschagne. Joe won the toss and looked upstairs and wanted to borrow and we use that very well. They put the ball in the right areas, youre going to challenge of stumbled, train create that right, same as was bold, its a bit like with a new ball, trying to use that because just those conditions and rub it up on the need to. That was world class bowling at its best. And rain also prevented a full days play on the opening day of the first test between west indies and india in antigua. India batted first after west indies won the toss, and the tourists were soon in trouble on 25 for 3. Among the early wickets to fall virat kohli, who was caught by sharmarh brooks, off the bowing of Shannon Gabriel forjust 9. Ajinkya rahane led the fightback, with useful contributions from rahul, vihari and pant. Rahane top scored with 81 before he was bowled by gabriel. India 203 for 6 when rain stopped play. World cup winner Fernando Torres is a few hours away from playing the final match of his professional career. The 35 year old spaniard has been playing in japan for sagan tosu since leaving Atletico Madrid last year. His glittering career includes winning the world cup and European Championship with spain, the Champions League with chelsea, the Europa League twice with different clubs, and a four year, goal laden spell at liverpool. Its going to be really special game for me, but is not going to change the way i feel about my career. It has been fantastic, much better than i could expect when i was a kid, so im in the grateful for what i i could expect when i was a kid, so im in the gratefulfor what i did, and with the grateful to all my fans around the world.

This weekend, france will mark 75 years since the liberation of paris. Ceremonies will be held to remember the moment when the free french, and their allies, entered the city, after four years of nazi occupation. A new museum will open to tell the dramatic story. The bbcs tim allman reports. A dark symbol of the past, a reminder of pariss occupation. Around 7000 items are on display, gas masks, pistols, flags, the lessons of the war still relevant today. Democracy is something you have to actually discuss, protect, and take care of. So this museum is absolutely necessary for the knowledge and the history of paris. As allied troops move onwards towards paris, a three word announcement from the capital brings the great news, paris is liberated. Millions took to the streets when the allies entered the city in august, 1944. Years of nazi rule were over, paris was finally free. The museum is built above the bunker used by resistance leaders during the war. In some ways, this is almost like hallowed ground. Translation in fact, there is an emotional aspect because we try to tell the story of how deep underground, the resistance succeeded in organising the liberations. Little by little, undercover, in the days before this great historic event. The museum will officially open on sunday, the date german soldiers finally surrendered. The day when occupation became liberation. Let me know what you think about talking point today, would you that your child be a kid influencer because apparently a third of all youngsters would like to be a u tube broadcaster when they grow up. Ive been asking for your con met comments. Its quite divided here, people are saying no, not at all, perhaps this is not the children and pa rent perhaps this is not the children and parent power using resource. Using a child to make a living in a social media driven world, as long as the child is being used and they are benefiting than why not . If people are seven secure they need influences and they feel are very worrying gap. Get in touch with me on twitter.

But for those authentic visas thats why were seeing all the cloud around early in the morning and it is low enough to bring some mist and drizzle around some of those western hills. That should tend to left and the crowd then, and the rain initially happy towards a North West Quadrant record of scotland will head to the northern isles. Sunny skies coming across all in england, to wales, midlands, across lincolnshire and east anglia in the afternoon. Thatll boost the temperature is too high of 27 also in the south east defendant.
