Our chief Political Correspondent vicki young is in biarritz her report contains flashing images. Landing for his first summit, and it could be a tense one. Borisjohnson is determined to leave the eu but says britain wont be walking off the world stage. The Prime Minister wants to show hes got an Important Role to play and has strong views on global trade. Im very worried about the way its going, the growth of protections, of tariffs that we are seeing. The uk thrives mightily on being an open, outward looking, free trading nation. Thats what were going to be promoting because i think its good for the world. There is a lot on the g7 agenda here in biarritz, but right now for borisjohnson nothing is more important than brexit. Can he persuade eu leaders to give him a new brexit deal . Thats something brussels has said it wont do, even though parliament rejected the Withdrawal Agreement that theresa may negotiated. So is this man likely to help the Prime Minister . Donald tusk famously said there was a special place in hell for those who promoted brexit without a plan. Most saw that as an attack on mrjohnson. He will be the third british conservative Prime Minister with whom i will discuss brexit. The one thing i will not co operate on is no deal. And i still hope that Prime Ministerjohnson will not like to go down in history as mr no deal. And i still hope that Prime Minister johnson would not like to go down in history as mr no deal. All sides say they want a deal and everyones keen to avoid the blame if it doesnt happen. Downing streets playing down the chances of a breakthrough here in biarritz, but think Angela Merkel and Emmanuel Macron are ready for some meaningful conversations. Borisjohnson insisted again today that the so called backstop to avoid checks at the irish border must go, and donald tusk should remember that if he doesnt want to go down as mr no deal brexit. Mrjohnson hopes he can depend on the american president for support. Donald trump has said that brussels hasnt treated the uk very well over brexit.

Prince andrew has released a statement about his friendship with the disgraced financier jeffrey epstein, the first time the prince has spoken directly about his links since epstein took his own life in a new york prison cell earlier this month. Prince andrew said at no stage did he see or suspect any criminal behaviour. Epstein had been awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges when he killed himself. Heres our royal correspondent nicholas witchell. What was Prince Andrew doing at the home of a convicted paedophile in new york in 2010, peering out through the door as young women came and went . The questions about andrews friendship withjeffrey epstein have shown no sign of abating and so, from the prince today, a statement in which he says he is eager to clarify the facts. He states. I met mr epstein in 1999. The prince goes on. Andrew does acknowledge that it was, in his words, a mistake and an error to see epstein after his release from prison. This photograph of them together was taken in 2010. Andrew expresses regret that what he knew of epstein was not, as he puts it, the real person. And yet epsteins behaviour was a matter of public record. Two years earlier, in 2008, he had been prosecuted for procuring an underage girl for prostitution. He was sentenced to 18 months in prison. But andrew was one of his friends, emerged, when this photo was published. It had been taken at one of epsteins parties in 2001. It showed andrew with a then 17 Year Old Girl virginia roberts. Andrew has always emphatically denied any impropriety. In todays statement, the queens second son expresses tremendous sympathy for all those affected by the actions and behaviour of his former friend, jeffrey epstein. And nicholas explains that Prince Andrew will be hoping that his statement clarifies his version of events. He will be hoping that this establishes his version of events. I think it leaves him still with some difficulty. Lets look at what he says. He asserts that between 1999 when he says he met epstein, and 2018 the macro 2008, when he was convicted, that there was no reason to suspect his behaviour. We have to take that at face value. Paedophiles are notoriously secretive. What is difficult for andrew izzy continued to see epstein after he was from prison. Their art photographs, the video of him in 2010. He acknowledges it was a mistake and an eric to do that, he regrets he did not realise what kind of a man epstein really was. He also says in a statement that his suicide has left many unanswered questions. Well, that is undoubtedly true stuff and i acknowledge and sympathise with everyone who has been affected and wants some form of closure. What andrew does not say is whether he is now prepared to co operate with the lawyers in america who are trying to get to those answers. 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 feelvery 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. Breaking news from the g7 summit in france, we are hearing that there has been a clash with several hundred protesters and police which is the town next to the summit, several hundred people clashed with police and writers have chanted anti Police Slogans and throwing stones and bottles, please have responded with tear gas and flash bank cloud disperses crowd to disperse hers. But to the latest live from this now. Welcome to you, ross. You are inside not enjoying the beautiful sunshine of the World Leaders are in that photo call, they are all gathered there and donald trump arriving the past few minutes. A busy day even though the summit has not officially gotten under way yet. We know that President Trump and president macron met for an impromptu lunch. What came out of that meeting . I think what they were trying to do especially the host president , macron, was convey a friendly tone because every simple person is well aware that on very big policy issues there is not agreement among the big western nations to make up the g7 along with japan. As such both the president s have said we have our differences and a Good Relationship and across these three days we are going to work hard to try and progress on the number of issues. They may try to set that tone it and it might work. But one photo opportunity and a lunch trying to set that tone is not going to change the fundamentals because donald tusk lee electrified the summit bite set standing up at lunch and listing them for it. He said in the issue of iran and russia during the g7 and on the issue of trade wars europe does not agree with americas approach. Of course that feeling is mutual, President Trump is convinced that he is right on all of those issues and others thatis on all of those issues and others that is likely to give ground, so what president macron is trying to do is say but it hoping we can get all of the countries in the same page, lets see where we can find common ground. On one issue some countries may join common ground. On one issue some countries mayjoin together but another issue a Different Group of countries may join another issue a Different Group of countries mayjoin together. A different approach to previous g7 and they are part convinced they can deliver results. We will see if it does by monday afternoon. For sponsor does by monday afternoon. For sponsor and under pressure to deliver results what is already gotten deliver results what is already gotte n to deliver results what is already gotten to a spat with donald tusk, the European Council president , hasnt he . I dont know if i would use the word spats, both men are known to use petty phrases to get the point across, mr tusk famously used that special place in hell phrase a couple of months back in the same said mrjohnson does not wa nt the same said mrjohnson does not want be known as mr no deal brags that. His point being the uk government needs to take getting the deal very seriously those comments we re deal very seriously those comments were made while borisjohnson was making his way here, i skipped down the stairs of the Royal Air Force plane he arrived on and went straight up to the press and said i would push that back to mr tusk could said he will does not want to be known as mr no deal brexit. The point both of them are making is that they want to find a deal and disagree on how to get there and disagree on how to get there and disagree and how to resolve the issue of the irish borderfrom disagree and how to resolve the issue of the irish border from the second thing is they are both aware and no deal brexit at the end of 0ctober and no deal brexit at the end of october is a distinct possibility and they know that if it happens is going to be a blame game so traversing here as both getting early shots in as we end up in a no deal scenario both sides will say its not their fault they got there. Talking about the fires something president macron would be passionate about yesterday, is there a sense there that they could be progress on that and he will bring the armed forces into try and do something . He thinks that europes flexing of their muscles with france and ireland saying they are not signing the huge new free trade deal between south america and europe unless he does more, the europeans feel that threat which came to the end of the week has delivered some results with mr Jair Bolsonaro announcing some things he would not do. In the medium term they want to see to what degree those announcements will actually translate into these fires being brought under control. Theres been domestic context here and a particular free trade deal with these south american countries in europe and some people like the deal not to be ratified anyway and he is also playing a domestic political game. I think for the moment they all feel they said take these fires seriously and president Jair Bolsonaro has. Thank you.

In finnmark, at the northernmost tip of norway, the warmer temperatures pose a challenge for indigenous saa mi reindeer herders. But one solution may make things even worse as our correspondent james cook has been finding out. A saa mi chief at the top of the world. Neil herds reindeer like his ancestors before him. But now, the chief and his daughter are worried about the future, a copper mine which they say will disrupt their animals and damage the environment. Translation this is life changing. If this mind becomes a reality, that makes the chance of survival impossible. Both economically and mentally. At my age, we can manage somehow, but the young, they are in a dark, dark time. But exploration is already under way. The norwegian government has approved the mine, and the minister in charge of the size of the need for copper outweighs the disruption it will bring. Its true that the arctic is beautiful. But for us, for norwegians, its also a place where we actually live. And if the world doesnt have more copper, we wont be able to build more windmills. We want to be able to have the huge shift to electrical cars for example that we need. The government says marine life here will be protected by strict environmental standards. This is only a half size they grow up to be. But the fishermen in the fjord, where the mines debris will be dumped, those assurances do not hold water. If they start mining, we cannot eat the crab, if we can catch it. I think all the crab will die in this area. There was a mine here once before, but that was many years ago, and it to divided opinion. This time, the boss argues that his company will revitalise an area thats been struggling economically. We estimate that the mining itself, with people working every day on site, so contractors and us, will be 150 employees, and then there we estimate that the mining itself, with people working every day on site, so contractors and us, will be 150 employees, and then there will be additional employees in society. Teachers, kindergarten, etc. But for the saa mi reindeer herders, that does not sound like a future full of promise. Its like, ijust. They are just taking more and more land. Its mining, its power lines, its wind power. We are so attached to lands and nature, and when you just cut that contact, whats left . The fight for this land and this fjord may be a taste of whats to come for all of us, as the world realises that shifting to new technology to tackle Climate Change does come with a cost. James cook, bbc news, norway. Glorious weather for most of us coming here is been the look ahead for the rest of the weekend. Yes, a glorious day if you like warmth and sunshine, 30. 7 degrees for their highest temperature today just to the west of london.
