Overwhelmed to be back. And in half an hour, focus on farming examines issues facing uk agriculture, including brexit and climate change. Good morning. A new plan to tackle huge wildfires in the amazon rainforest is expected to be agreed at the g7 summit of World Leaders today. Brazilian warplanes have already been dumping water on the burning woodland. This morning, borisjohnson has pledged £10 million in funding to help replace lost trees. Ros atkins is in biarritz now. Its day three, the final day of the g7 summit, and in the next few hours, we are going to find out what all of the work being done here adds up all of the work being done here adds up to. Emmanuel macron was quite deliberate in the months building up to this get together that he wants to this get together that he wants to do things differently. He said he wa nted to do things differently. He said he wanted the g7 to engage with more of the world, he didntjust want it to bea the world, he didntjust want it to be a behind the scenes conversation between a select few World Leaders. So the agenda is ambitious. He has invited eight additional leaders as well as the seven within the g7, and he has given it a quite different tone. All of that will count for nothing, though, if he cant offer the world concrete action on some of the world concrete action on some of the most pressing issues the world faces. Climate change arguably is the most important issue, and in the form of the fires in the amazon, he perhaps has an opportunity to reinforce the relevance of the g7. We are waiting for the details of what the g7 will offer brazil in the form of assistance. Here is what we have got to, here is james landale. The fires have been devastating, not just for those who live there, but for the world. For president macron of france, they are a crisis the g7 was designed to fix a Common Threat that requires collective action by the worlds major economies. So today, he and other leaders will discuss and potentially agree a new plan to help countries first with the fires, and then subsequent reforestation. Translation there are contacts that are being made with all the countries of the amazon by our teams so that we can finalise very concrete commitments of technical and financial means. The german chancellor Angela Merkel said the earths lung was being affected, so there had to be a common solution. Borisjohnson promised an immediate £10 million to help brazil with reforestation. But its still not clear what else may be agreed. President bolsonaro of brazil has accused foreign governments of interfering in the sovereignty of his country, and the g7 is divided over whether to block an eu trade deal with some south american countries if they do not take more action to tackle fires lit deliberately by loggers and farmers. James landale, bbc news, in biarritz. Now, one of the press conferences we are expecting in the next few minutes may involve emanuel macron and sebastien pinero, the chilean president , one of those eight leaders president obama and has invited as well as the g7. I spoke to president pinero earlier to ask what help he wants to help fight those fires. The amazon is a huge area. 7 million Square Kilometres. Every year they have fires. This year is worse than last year, but it is with in the average of the last 20 or 30 years. I dont think that president bolsonaro is responsible for this. I think he is trying to do his best to sort out these fires. But he is encouraging further mining and furtherfarming in but he is encouraging further mining and further farming in the amazon, and further farming in the amazon, and he sacked the head of the Space Research agency for releasing photographs saying how bad the fires were. Dont rely on impressions. He has already sent more than 115,000 soldiers to fight the fires, so i think that he is concerned about the health of the amazon. But at the same time, he is protecting brazilian sovereignty. But how do you protect brazilian sovereignty at the same time as dealing with the problem that clearly affects the whole world . Would you like to see a different approach in south america that takes a regional approach to this problem rather than a National Approach . We are taking a regional approach. Right now many countries help brazil to fight this fight, for insta nce help brazil to fight this fight, for instance chilly chile has sent help. But we have two recognise sovereignty as well as recognising that the amazon is the lungs of the world and we need to protect them. Now, there are going to be set piece press c0 nfe re nces a now, there are going to be set piece press conferences a little later, but already we have heard from donald trump a couple of times this morning in biarritz. He is earlier talking about iran. I am looking at a really good iran, we are not looking for regime change, we have seen how that worked, that hasnt been too good. We are looking to make irana been too good. We are looking to make iran a rich again, lets let them be rich. Lets let them do well, or they can be porous can be like they are now. And i tell you what, i dont think it is acceptable the way they are being forced to live in iran. And what we want is very simple, its got to be non nuclear. Very simple, its got to be nonnuclear. Lets remember the europeans and the americans do not agree over the iran nuclear deal. The europeans wanted to continue, as do the iranians. But the americans have already pulled out of it.

Staying in the amazon basin, bolivias president is facing criticism for what critics say is his slow response to fires in his country. More than 1 his slow response to fires in his country. More than1 million hectares of forest in bolivia but close to brazil have already been destroyed. Environmental campaigners say its a result of a decree allowing cattle farmers to clear the forest. Gareth barlow reports. Bolivias forests are burning. As helicopters hover overhead, volunteers and firefighters battle the flames on the ground. Its from the air that the true extent of the fires is apparent. More than 10,000 Square Kilometres have already been burnt. Now, the bolivian president , evo morales, who has been criticised for his slow response, has opened the door to international help. Translation i welcome telephone calls from the president s of paraguay, chile and spain. We welcome any cooperation. Since wednesday, we have been managing the operation. The Development Bank of latin america is donating about 500,000. Its not only the environment thats suffering. These families are just some of the many forced from their homes. Translation the plants are destroyed, all the plants, and now the water for us as well. The pipe has been burnt and we dont have water running from the pipe. Its all burnt. Translation there was intense smoke coming with fire. It was like a whirlwind. It was coming to the houses. It advances very fast. The fire came from the side of the mountains and into the village. As in neighbouring brazil, which is tackling a Record Number of fires, activists say tree clearing in bolivia, often for agriculture, is mostly to blame. While World Leaders discuss the fires at the g7 summit in france, on the ground in bolivia, bottled water and baskets of water are being used to tackle the blaze. Gareth barlow, bbc news. Lots more to come on the news channel, but now we say goodbye to viewers on bbc two. The bbc should cough up and pay for free tv licences for all over 75s. Thats the message from the Prime Minister whos suggested the corporation has gone back on a deal to fund the licences, but the bbc said there was no such guarantee. Injune it was announced that only low income households, where one person received pension credit, would be eligible for a free tv licence. Earlier i spoke to our Political Correspondent tom barton, whos been following the story for us. This all dates back to 2015, when the bbc last agreed a licence fee settlement with the government. Part of the terms of that was the responsibility for funding these free tv licences for over 75s, which was introduced by gordon brown a few years previously, passed from the government to the bbc. At the start ofjune, the bbc announced that it would start, from next year, only funding free licenses, as you say, for those pensioners who receive pension credit. That would mean about 3. 7 million extra pensioners would now have to pay for their tv licences. Unsurprisingly, that has been controversial. There have been protests and also been a political row brewing. This intervention from borisjohnson, saying that the bbc should cough up, is a blunt one. He says the deal that the bbc reached was conditional on the corporation continuing to fund those free licences. Thats really interesting, it is something where the bbc has come back and said wasnt true, so now we have a disagreement not just about how it should be handled, but about the basic facts of what the agreement was . Absolutely, on the one hand you have borisjohnson and downing street saying that the bbc should honour the agreement. The bbc say, actually, the government decided to stop funding those free licences back in 2015. There has been a period of transition. At the end of that transition period, the decision on what to do with them was passed to the bbc. In a statement, the bbc said that parliament gave the responsibility to the bbc to make the decision in the future of the scheme. So it could make a decision that some pensioners over 75 should actually pay for their licences. And the bbc maintains that actually it would have been within its rights to make a decision that it scrapped free tv licences altogether. It says it has reached what it sees as a compromise, partly for financial reasons, and said to carry on funding them in their entirety would cost a fifth of the bbcs annual budget, £750 million, and that essentially would mean closing a range of services, including bbc two, radio 5 live. Like i say, this is political. Tom watson, the shadow labour leader, has got involved as well. He says the blame for scrapping free tv licences lies with the government and he has asked ministers to step in and choose to fund them themselves again. So in terms of the party politics, labour is basically falling into the bbc camp, if you like, and what about on government benches . Is there a view that is different from the Prime Minister, or are they falling in line . As far as labour are concerned, their argument is that it is wrong for these free licenses to be scrapped, but they are pinning the blame for that decision on the government, rather than on the bbc. On the government benches, there is some dissent. John whittingdale, the former culture secretary, he was a culture secretary when the decision was taken, he says it was at the time the licence fee settlement was agreed, viewed as being within the bbcs remit to make whatever decision it chose on the future of this, when the transition period came to an end next year. He says that is what the bbc has done. Tom barton. Another earthquake has been felt close to the uks only fracking site in lancashire. The tremor struck at 8. 30 this morning and measured 2. 9 on the richter scale. Its the fourth tremor to hit the region in past few days. The British Geological survey have plotted the epicentre just metres from the site at little plumpton. Our correspondent katy austinjoins me now. Fracking is controversial in some quarters. What are those responsible for the fracking saying about this . Cuadrilla has confirmed that this seismic event happened within the vicinity of its site near blackpool. A residents reported being woken up in some cases by the strength of the tremor at about half past eight this morning. There is a limit of 0. 5 on the richter scale, and above that fracking is meant to stop for 18 hours. The magnitude of this one was initially put at 2. 6, and then it was revised up by the British Geological survey to 2. 9. That is significantly more than other tremors we have seen over significantly more than other tremors we have seen over the last few days, and cuadrilla has confirmed it is investigating what happened. It has said that fracking wasnt taking place at the time and hasnt been taking place over this whole weekend. Are they providing an explanation of why the tremors might increase in scale . Because of course 2. 9 is notjust kind of a gradient like that, it is exponentially larger than the earlier ones. Exactly. They havent provided any explanation for that yet. We will of course be putting more questions to them over the course of today. They have said regulators are also investigating the incident, so they will be questions about their operation and i dont know what it will mean for their fracking operation going forward. Talking about the operation going forward, last year when there were many tremors, the fracking was suspended, so tremors, the fracking was suspended, soi tremors, the fracking was suspended, so i suppose that will be the question in the minds of many people in lancashire, what are you going to do now . Suspend or not . That will be the question in many peoples mines, and fracking is controversial in many quarters, but at this point in time, they have confirmed it was on their site. It does appear to be the biggest tremor ever recorded at that blackpool site during fracking activities, though. Katy austin, thank you. The headlines on bbc news the International Response to the devastating amazon fires the g7 looks to make an emergency deal to tackle the crisis. As the fires continue to spread, brazil steps up its Emergency Response and deploys its military after concern that not enough was being done.

Sport, and for a full roundup, from the bbc sport centre, heres jayne. Yes, hello, carrie. An heroic performance from ben stokes helped england to win the third test of the ashes at headingley. It had looked unlikely with england facing their highest ever run chase. But an unbeaten 135 from stokes means the series is now drawn 1 1 with two more tests to play and hopes of winning the ashes are still alive. Walking off at the end, time to take everything in and realise what wed just done as a team, notjust as an individual. I think bouncing back from being bowled out for 67 to having to chase down 300 and something, it was brilliant. We have a few days off here before the next test starts, so when we return to manchester we have to put everything behind us what we have managed to achieve and start again in manchester. Because this will all be forgotten if we lose the next test match, because then the ashes have gone. The run chase was 359, we remember it a deal to sell Bolton Wanderers has collapsed and, unless a new one can be struck, the clubs administrators say the process of closing down of closing down the company will commence on wednesday. Wanderers had been given until 5pm tomorrow by the English Football League for a takeover to be completed or face expulsion from the league. A tentative deal had been in place but, according to the administrator paul appleton, it collapsed over the weekend and has not been salvaged. Appleton claims the company will be liquidated with the loss of more than 150 jobs. Steve bruce says his first win as newcastle manager will hopefully shut a few people up. His side beat tottenham 1 0 away from home. Club record signing joe linton with the only goal of the game.

Sergio aguero scoring twice for the champions. Rory mcilroy won the tour championship last night in atlanta, the final event in the fedex cup, earning him more than £12 million in prize money. He finished with a birdie on the last hole to win by 4 shots. Its the second time that the northern irishman has ta ken the tournament. Nice work if you can get it thats all the sport for now. Ill have more for you in the next hour. Thank you. The warm weather means its likely to have been a busy weekend for Garden Centres, but theres growing concern about one of their most popular products. Campaigners are calling for a legally enforced ban on the sale of peat compost, because of the damage the production process does to the environment. Samantha fenwick reports. They say we are a nation of gardeners, but at what cost . Weve been digging up peat to use in compost for 70 years, and we get through a lot. Every year, uk gardeners and commercial growers use enough to fill nearly 1,500 olympic sized swimming pools. Its great for growing things, but peatlands take thousands of years to form, and theyre really important for the environment because they store vast amounts of carbon. It worries me to know that the compost we buy from the local Garden Centres has peat in, because were concerned for the environment. Id usuallyjust buy the cheapest basically if im honest. So i dont really think about it. I thought peat was different than compost, and i never buy peat. I didnt know they was mixed. If id known that i might not have bought it. Ten years ago the government told the horticulture industry that they had to reduce the amount of peat in compost, and they gave them until 2020 to do that. Today, a bag of compost like this will contain about 56 peat. Some will have more, some will have less. That figure has dropped by 2 in eight years. The industry say they are working hard to reduce the use of peat and come up with alternatives. Peat is a very, very good natural product for growing plants. So theres been a lot of time and money spent in the last ten years researching the alternative, creating a new, viable and sustainable products that can replace peat. The amount of peat in compost has only reduced by 2 in eight years. Yes, theres been a variation in that. There have been years when theres been less peat has been used, but we have to find something that is viably as good. The Actual Research takes time. It takes time to actually identify if a plant flourishes as well in an alternative source of compost. But there are some in the industry who say its really not that difficult. The National Trust has been peat free for the last 20 years. We buy in peat free compost to use in the garden. We pot everything up, we use 1,000 dahlia cuttings every year, they go into peat free compost. Its in every aspect of what we do. Commercial gardeners say that they cant get enough peat free compost to be able to grow all the plants that they have to sell all year round. We can. We need commitment from the compost producers, from the people that are making it. We need to force the hand of the people in the middle of the chain. The government says they will review what peat alternatives there are on the market at the end of the year. If they think progress has been too slow, they will consider legislation. It was a big night in manchester last night, with Ariana Grande headlining the pride festival. It was the first time shed performed in the city since a memorial concert for those killed in the arena bombing two years ago. In the crowd were fans whod attended arianas show on the night of the attack in may 2017. Two of them met up with our entertainment correspondent, Colin Paterson to explain why it was so important for them to be there. So one last time i need to be the one who takes you home one more time. An emotional Ariana Grande, back on stage in manchester for the First Time Since the one love concert more than two years ago. This was not a full performance, but rather a 35 minute set to headline the Manchester Pride festival, an lgbt celebration. In may, 2017, 22 people were killed in a terrorist attack at her Manchester Arena show. Last night, security was tight, with only see through bags allowed and many of the fans who had been there on the night of the attack were back, including mollie and alex. My anxiety has been at an all time high, lets put it that way. Its been kinda screwing with my stomach a little bit, but its the sort of thing when i have something presented to me like this, im determined. Im, like, i want to do this. Im not going to lie, it did take a lot of time to think about it because of what happened last time, but ijust thought it was a brilliant chance for everybody to get together and show solidarity in the best way. On this tour, Ariana Grande is playing arena shows in london, birmingham, sheffield and glasgow but for manchester, shes done something different. This is pride. I came from italy especially for Ariana Grande. Im here only for her. So proud of her. Shes amazing. We saw her last week and we told her weve got so much love to give her and that itsjust going to blow her away. But pride is for over 18s only, meaning that her younger fans missed out. Her set consisted of only nine songs, and the likes of thank u, next and no tears left to cry prompted huge sing alongs. And mollie and alex clearly enjoyed themselves. I was just so grateful i was able to do it and ijust feel so happy and so relieved. It was emotional, as i expected, but i had a really good time. It was amazing. Its better than every other act thats ever come to pride. Im happy with that. Shes phenomenal. Absolutely phenomenal shes the biggest name ever to come to pride. The set wasnt long enough, we need more. Im not crying, because it took too long, but im emotional on the inside. Many fans thought there would be an onstage announcement from Ariana Grande about her putting on her own Manchester Show in the future, but there wasnt, meaning her performance at pride could be her last in the city for quite a while. Colin paterson, bbc news, manchester. Cheering a clear night in manchester, and the met office has just tweeted to say that the temperature in norfolk has just reached 28. 6 degrees celsius, which surpasses the previous august Bank Holiday Record of 28. 2 which was in lincolnshire two years ago.

It is going to feel a lot cooler, noticeably in scotland, wales and northern ireland, cloud and Western Areas continuing to break, showers in devon and cornwall and some rain edging into the western isles, but temperatures generally lower apart from the south east of england and central and southern england, 32 or 30 degrees celsius once more. Overnight tonight, the showers will continue to track west, uncomfortable for sleeping under clear skies, keeping that heat from today, with lows of 16 or 17 degrees.

Now on bbc news, focus on farmimg a special report on the big issues facing uk agriculture,including the possible effects of brexit and climate change. Hi there and welcome to this special programme putting the focus on farming. Bbc news has just spent a week looking at the industry that of course feeds us, shapes our countryside, and is an important contributor to the national economy. And weve been talking to farmers around the uk about their hopes and fears for the future. Well start by looking at brexit. The uks farming unions have warned that with no deal there could be severe disruption to the industry. The Farm Business consultancy andersons says that in the event of no deal, up to £850 million a year could be lost in profits. But could there be opportunities too . As a former sheep farmer myself, i was keen to find out and i started myjourney on the border in northern ireland. Brexit has brought uncertainty to agriculture, but nowhere more so than here, on the irish border. Owen martins family have farmed dairy cattle
