Leaders of most of the Worlds Largest economies make up the g7, the uk, canada, france, germany, italy, japan and the us all take part in the summit. Issues on the agenda in the coming days include the global economy, tackling inequality, and responding to the challenges of the digital age and the rise of artificial intelligence. Yesterday, french president , Emmanuel Macron, who is hosting the summit, and german chancellor Angela Merkel said the fires in brazils amazon rainforest must be part of discussions. Leaders have been touching down at biarritz airport ahead of the g7 summit. One of the first to arrive was the japanese Prime Minister shinzo abe, who landed this morning with his wife akie. Shortly after, us President Donald Trump arrived aboard air force one, together with his wife melania. Before leaving the us, he had repeated his threat to impose tariffs on french wine. However the issue did not come up when the pair spoke to the cameras ahead of a lunch meeting a short time later. The pair reiterated that they get on well but have had their differences. Donald trump added he hoped the summit would accomplish a lot. Brexit is likely to be a key issue at the summit and a little earlier European Council president donald tusk, who will meet Boris Johnson on sunday, said that the eu is willing to listen to the Prime Ministers ideas for brexit the one thing i will not cooperate on, is no deal. And i still hope that mrjohnson would not like to go down in history as mr no deal. We continue to pictures of Boris Johnson arriving in biarritz. His First International summit as uk Prime Minister. He isjust touching down, being metand Prime Minister. He isjust touching down, being met and shaking hands. He has insisted before this summit started that this was not a moment for the uk to be withdrawing from the international stage. Despite his pledge that the uk will be withdrawing from the European Union on 31st of october. He is just speaking to reporters in press, just getting off the plane life. He has already been mentioned by donald tusk. Donald tusk, president of the European Council, who he will be meeting on sunday, has said that this is now the third by minister, the third british by minister they have had talks with about brexit. The absolutely want cooperate on an issue of no deal. That is the uk withdrawing without any kind of deal. He added that he hopes that mr johnson does not go down as mr no deal. He said he hopes the british Prime Minister would not be remembered as the Prime Minister who withdrew the uk without any kind of deal in place. You can see him speaking to reporters. Let us take a listen and see if we can hear them at all. You want to see you want to preserve biodiversity. Can there be any hope of a trade deal with brazil, brazil seems to be taking steps. We will do everything we can to support the brazilians, to. Trade deal, at thisjuncture . Are all sorts of people who will take any excuse at all to interfere with free trade. And i dont want to. You could just about hear some other words from him, it was a bit difficult to hear as you can understand. The wind and the aeroplane noise and the cameras clicking. He will make his way from the airport where he has just touched down in biarritz to the g7 summit where he will be meeting fellow leaders from the us, donald trump, who we have already seen. Canada, france, japan and italy are expected as borisjohnson makes his way to the car for the summit this weekend. Lots of big issues for all the big leaders to be discussing. The idea of these g7 summits is to try and find solutions to international problems. And solutions are tricky to come by. The last g7 didnt exactly end well. Donald trump left that one early without much resolution. And this time, this is being hosted by Emmanuel Macron who has already admitted that he wont even attempt admitted that he wont even attempt a joint communique at the end. That isa a joint communique at the end. That is a joint statement where the leader releases what they have agreed on and this time it does not seem agreed on and this time it does not seem like it will be attempted. Let alone see anything. But there is still optimism, they will be talking about a range of issues. The fires in the amazon had been dominating the headlines. They have been will be talking about the economy. The ways in which big economies can come together to try and sort some issues. But of course, china notable by its omission. Russia as well. The british by minister being escorted away from the airport as we have seen away from the airport as we have seen from other World Leaders so far. The summit will kick off with a meal this evening, hosted by Emmanuel Macron. Our diplomatic correspondent, James Landale is in biarritz. Heres his analyis of the chance of agreement on anything at this summit. Well, president macron certainly hopes so. He wants to use the summit to, in his words, revive the spirit of multilateralism. And so he wants to see if he can come up with some kind of collective action on tackling the forest fires in the amazon, or more broadly on the climate change. On trade, global trade wars, that are taking place at the moment and maybe on iran, as well. And the tensions in the gulf at the moment. The problem is i think you will find it very he will find it very difficult to achieve any agreement on all those issues, there is disagreement between the united states, and some european nations. And so i think it will be very hard for him to get something over the line that is unanimous with all seven members. That is why, for example, he has already admitted he is not going to have a communique at the end of this particular summit. Donald tusk, the eu Council President said the summit will be a difficult test of solidarity and unity for the world. Mr tusk, as you said, also had a pretty clear message for Boris Johnson, who he is going to be meeting for the first time tomorrow. When mrjohnson comes here later this afternoon, his first big moment, his first big steps on the international stage, as Prime Minister, he is going to be meeting mr tusk to discuss brexit. Mr tusk said very clearly, look, the eu will listen to any ideas the british have that are acceptable, operational and realistic. But he said there will be absolutely no cooperation on no deal. So mrjohnson, i think, has a pretty tough ask here. He has got to try and reach out to the americans, to give the sense that some kind of uk us trade deal is possible in the future. But at the same time, he cant go so far that he upsets a lot of his european allies. On whom he is actually on the same page on all of the other issues. Anti globalisation and climate activists have teamed up with yellow vest protesters and basque nationalists in what theyre calling a counter g7 summit. Theyve gathered in cities in france and irun in spain, on the french spanish border. Theyre protesting at economic and Climate Policies pursued by the worlds leading industrial countries and to promote alternatives. Well, as james was saying, the fate of the amazon rainforest is high on the g7s agenda. Late last night, in the face of growing international pressure, the president of brazil, jair bolsonaro, ordered the countrys armed forces to help tackle them. The fires are scattered widely across the amazon, most notably in the north of brazil. Andy moore has the story. There have been angry protests outside brazilian embassies across south america. In mexico city. In santiago in chile. And in colombia, where Indigenous People were among the demonstrators. Translation i feel very sad, because the earth is our mother and what is happening in brazil. The president of brazil needs to stop the fires. We live from the earth because she is the one who gives us food. At the g7 summit, there was an offer of european financial help to fight the fires. The burning amazon rainforest has become another depressing sign of our times. And mr tusk warned a trade treaty with south american countries was at risk. It is hard to imagine a harmonious process of ratification by the European Countries as long as the brazilian government allows for the destruction of the green lungs of planet earth. The pressure from europe and the protesters has persuaded the brazilian president to change course. In a televised address last night, he said he would send in the troops to help fight the fires and crack down on illegal deforestation. Translation all the countries have expressed solidarity with brazil. They have offered to help tackle the wildfires and have also offered to take brazils position to the g7 meeting. Wildfires can happen anywhere and they should not be used as a pretext for international sanctions. More than 700 new fires have started in brazil this week alone. Has mr bolsonaro done enough to persuade the International Community he is taking the problem seriously . Andy moore, bbc news.

Its the start of a contactless id system designed by a group of companies and academics to speed up our transition across borders.

Whereas the rest of the passengers who have to be seen can go to the normal control. The security of our data has never been under such scrutiny. The designers of protect insist safeguards are in place and information is encrypted. But other questions remain. What if your battery dies . What if you have brought the wrong smartphone .
