Than previously thought. And as brazil bans setting fires to clear land for 60 days we report from deep in the rainforest. All that remains is the flat, black land of deforestation and this has happened in more than 80,000 places across the amazon this year alone. And coming up on sportsday on bbc news a big blow for england in the ashes Bowlerjames Anderson has been ruled out of the rest of the series. Good evening. Schools in england are being promised billions more in spending over the next three years, in an announcement by borisjohnson. It will amount to just over £7 billion more than at present by 2023. The spending pledge follows warnings by heads and teachers of a worsening Funding Crisis in schools and colleges. Its unclear where the money is coming from, but with a Spending Review due next week, its another indication that an early general election may be on the cards. Heres our Political Correspondent, alex forsyth. The Prime Minister hosted a press Conference Today with a younger crowd than usual. Convenient, then, that number ten had some news for this group of budding journalists more money for schools. It is £14 billion over three years, and thats both for primary schools and secondary schools. Thats if you add up the spending over the three years, but the key question. Where is this money going to come from . Are you going to have to cut money from other things . No, we are not cutting money from other things. But, for years, ministers have been Holding Tight to the countrys Purse Strings despite schools crying out for more cash, so is all this part of spending ahead of a possible election . He says not. It simply isnt fair if you have kids in schools where funding has fallen so far behind. We are lifting up, we are levelling up across the country. Thats the right thing to do now. The money is there and we will make sure that we pursue economic policies supporting business, supporting enterprise, so that we grow the economy further to pay for further such investments. Everyone. Snap, snap in leicestershire, its the first week back at school after summer. Danemill primary, like many, has been struggling to balance the books. It even considered closing for half a day a week but decided not to, after talking to parents. But across the Country Schools have had to cut staff and, in some cases, asked parents to contribute towards costs. Here, the head of this Academy Trust gave a cautious welcome to the new funding. I think it will make an enormous difference. I think the devil will be in the detail. It will be interesting to see how much money we get next year or now, when we really need it, not knowing that more moneys coming. We need that money as soon as possible back in schools. In fact, it all starts from next year. In secondary schools, funding for each pupil will go up from the minimum of £4,800 to £5,000. The year after, in primary schools, it will increase from at least £3,500 to £4,000 per pupil. In total, schools in england will have an extra £7. 1 billion to spend in 2022, compared to this year, all adding up to some £14 billion more over three years. This is a significant increase over three years for schools. It will relieve some of the pressures on their budgets. It will mean that their funding per pupil returns to its level back in 2010. After years of austerity, this isnt the only spending commitment this government has made, fuelling speculation that its preparing for a possible early general election. So, while this money for schools like this one has broadly been welcomed, some teaching unions want more detail about when it will be delivered in full. Schools and colleges are having to make staffing cuts, and im not sure that the announcement is going to help with the immediate, and of course what we know is that there is a general election in the offing, and therefore some of the promises being made today, well have to wait and see how they materialise and whether the people making the promises are the people who are going to be able to deliver on them. But, for now, a significant boost is on the way for schools, many of which have been struggling with their sums for a while. Alex forsyth, bbc news, leicestershire. The Prime Minister has hit back at politicians attempting to block a no deal brexit. He accused them of undermining brexit negotiations, claiming the eu would only grant concessions if it took the threat of britain leaving without an agreement seriously. Criticism of mrjohnsons decision to suspend parliament next month has intensified, with the former conservative Prime Minister, sirjohn major, joining a legal case at the high court to halt the suspension. 0ur chief Political Correspondent vicki young reports from westminster. All save our democracy. When it comes to brexit, feelings run high. While many in the country welcomed the announcement that parliament wont sit for five weeks, thousands took to the streets in protest. The government insists mps still have plenty of time to express their views. Critics say borisjohnson is behaving like a tinpot dictator. When you became Prime Minister you talked about uniting the country, but now youre talking about forcing through a no deal brexit, something that you know democratically elected parliament does not agree with. Youre being deliberately divisive, arent you . We want to do a deal, ive talked over the last few days to lots of leaders around the eu. Everybody can see the rough shape of what needs to be done. Its going to take work, its going to take a lot of energy for us to get there and the best way to do that is if our friends and partners over the channel dont think that brexit can be somehow blocked by parliament. The weird thing is. But theyre trying to block no deal, theyre not trying to block brexit, theyre trying to block a no deal brexit. The weird thing is that the more the parliamentarians try to block the no deal brexit, the more likely it is that well end up in that situation. But now this former conservative Prime Minister says he will challenge mrjohnson in court. Sirjohn major knows all about tory fights over europe, they plagued his time in office. Today he offered to help campaigners make their case that the government is breaking the law. Thats one battle, the other will be fought in parliament. Theyll have less time, but opposition parties and some tories will try to change the law to force the government to delay brexit again. I hope that parliament will take a series of actions in a proper, orderly way that by the end of the week mean, that borisjohnson knows that as Prime Minister, he has the backing of many, many of us to get a deal, but if he doesnt get a deal, hes going to have to seek an extension. To succeed, mps from several parties will need to work together, so are they confident . Im always hopeful and i dont want to make predictions. All i know is that what we are trying to do is the right thing to do and i believe a majority of mps recognise that a no deal exit is very damaging to our economy. Meanwhile, ministers have promised to step up the tempo on talks with the eu, but irelandss deputy Prime Minister isnt sounding optimistic. At the moment, nothing credible has come from the British Government in the context of an alternative to the backstop. You know, if that changes, great. Borisjohnson is being asked searching questions from many sides. Did you always have the ambition of being Prime Minister . No, iwanted, i had various ambitions. I briefly thought that i could be a rock star but then i had a plan, i wanted to make kitchen tiles and that was a total flop. Hell hope his Brexit Strategy doesnt end up at the same way. Vicki young, bbc news, westminster. A judge at scotlands highest civil court has refused to order an immediate halt to borisjohnsons plan to shut down parliament. The court will instead hear full arguments next week. 0ur scotland editor, sarah smith, is outside the court. So whos celebrating here . Well, the Cross Party Group of mps and peers who brought this case are very pleased tonight, even though they didnt persuade the judge to grant that immediate ban on Boris Johnsons plans that they were asking for. They are happy because the case has now been fast tracked and next week the court will give a full ruling on whether or not the Prime Minister is acting within the law. Thejudge said it Prime Minister is acting within the law. The judge said it was Prime Minister is acting within the law. Thejudge said it was in Prime Minister is acting within the law. The judge said it was in the Public Interest for the case to be heard as soon as possible so expect the hearing on tuesday with a ruling on wednesday. And parliament cannot be suspended until next friday. There was one surprising thing that happened in court today, the lawyer acting for these anti brexit politicians, suggested that Boris Johnson should be asked to give a sworn statement under oath explaining to the court why he wants to prorogue parliament. He even suggested he might call the Prime Minister to give evidence. While the uk government, who opposed this case say they welcomed the judges ruling today and insist they are not trying today and insist they are not trying to stop mps from scrutinising the withdrawal plans from the eu. Sarah, many thanks. Sarah smith there. One of the chancellor sajid javids advisers has been sacked by downing street. Sonia khan was questioned about government lea ks by borisjohnsons senior adviser, dominic cummings. There was no evidence that ms khan had put Sensitive Information in the public domain. After her meeting with mr cummings, sonia khan was escorted from number 10 by a police officer. Its believed that the chancellor was not told in advance that his key aide was being dismissed. 0ur chief Political Correspondent, vicki young, is in westminster. And there have been more developments on this this evening . Yes, i understand the chancellor was so angry yes, i understand the chancellor was so angry about this, he did confront the Prime Minister about it. I dont think sajid javid could sit by and let people think he was so weak he couldnt defend his own staff. It is the second of his advisers to lose theirjob in recent weeks. Whitehall sources say this is a row about personnel, it is not a policy difference, they stress the two men have a very close working relationship. They have agreed a complex Spending Review in a matter of days and they say this row will not disrupt how the two work together. But it does put the spotlight on dominic cummings. He is a controversial figure with a controversial style. He has come into number ten downing st, determined to keep everyone on message. He is bringing some much needed discipline to the government machine that had completely broken down under theresa may, but he is ruffling feathers along the way. Vicki young, thanks. Vicki young there. Thereve been a series of arrests of prominent pro democracy activists and politicians in hong kong, in a sign the authorities are taking an increasingly tough line. Theyve banned more street protests, due tomorrow. Demonstrators first took to the streets three months ago, demanding an end to plans to allow people to be extradited to face trial in mainland china. Since then, huge numbers have joined the protests, calling also for free elections and for charges to be dropped against protesters. From hong kong, John Sudworth reports and there are some flashing images from the start. Past the waiting press pack, two of the best known figures in hong kongs Pro Democracy Movement were swept into court. Hundreds have already been detained in this summer of fury, as fears over chinese rule have led to increasingly violent clashes. But, with prominent members of the citys parliament also picked up, these latest high profile arrests are being seen as much more political, a point made on the steps of the court after a successful bail hearing. The level of media interest here speaks for itself. Far from de escalating the crisis, the arrest of this young man and others is only likely to fuel concern about the erosion of hong kongs freedoms and legal protections. We are strongly aware of how president xijinping and the beijing government are the ones who back and endorse Hong Kong Police to conduct such mass arrests and prosecution. We hong kong people wont give up and wont be scared by these injustices. Today, the police insisted that they are just following the law, threatening further arrests for anyone joining unauthorised protests this weekend. And heres another warning more video of chinese Paramilitary Forces conducting anti riot drills, although some pro beijing voices say intervention is farfrom imminent. When law and order has absolutely lost control and the Hong Kong Government cannot deal with it, that will be the triggering point. As ive said, weve got a few more steps to go. I hope we dont have to reach that. Few protesters appear troubled by threats. The tougher the authorities, the more enraged they become. John sudworth, bbc news, hong kong. Lets take a look at some of todays other news. The Australian Government says the Great Barrier reef is continuing to deteriorate because of climate change. It says rising sea temperatures, caused by global warming, have caused two major events of coral bleaching. Fertilisers and pesticides getting in the water have also had an impact. The reefs prospects have been downgraded to very poor, jeopardising its World Heritage status. Professor hans rausing, the head of the family that became britains richest thanks to his fathers invention of tetra pak food containers, has died aged 93. Mr rausings children said in a statement that the industrialist and entrepreneur died in his sleep at home, with his wife marit at his side. Women who have hrt for the menopause have an increased risk of developing Breast Cancer for more than a decade after treatment ends, according to a major study. Researchers from Oxford University looked at more than 100,000 women from around the world, and say the results mean the risk of Breast Cancer is double what women are currently being told. Heres james gallagher. You think why am i suddenly feeling like this . Three women, nikki, andrea and diane, talking freely and openly about the menopause. Its a conversation thats often been seen as taboo. So what unites all of you is experiences of the menopause and hrt, and imjust wondering, how bad were some of those symptoms . Brain fog and memory problems and lack of patience. I was losing my temper over ridiculous things, really rage filled anger. One of the most scary things is the fear of dementia, thinking, why cant i remember what thats called . Why cant i remember where i have been . And the result for me was that i got very close to taking my own life, so it made me feel suicidal. 0n the decision about whether to start hrt, there are known risks, there are obvious benefits. How did you come to that decision . Was it easy, difficult . Before i started the menopause, i was determined i was going to do it naturally because i had only heard the Horror Stories about it. Then when the symptoms started i thought, actually, this is really difficult. I can honestly say i would not be here today without it. It has saved my life there is no doubt about it. With hindsight, do any of you regret the decision . Absolutely not. No, not at all. A major new study says the risk of Breast Cancer from hormone therapy is twice as high as previously thought, but what does that really mean . For every 50 women taking daily oestrogen and progestogen therapy for five years, three would have developed Breast Cancer anyway, and one would get Breast Cancer as a direct result of their hormone therapy. I think this is new data, new information we did not know before about hrt, and it is extremely important that this information is taken into account in new guidelines. I could not stop taking hrt now and go back to how i was. The Royal College of gps says patients should not panic and that hormone therapy is an effective treatment for menopausal symptoms. James gallagher, bbc news. Prince andrew has been seen in public for the First Time Since the death of his formerfriend, the convicted sex offender jeffrey epstein. His appearance at dartmouth royal regatta today was his first since video emerged two weeks ago of him at the door of epsteins house in 2010. At the weekend, the prince issued a personal statement, acknowledging that maintaining his friendship with mr epstein after his conviction was a mistake. The president of brazil, jair bolsonaro, has banned setting fires to clear land for 60 days, in response to the massive increase in the number of fires in the amazon rainforest. Mr bolsonaro has faced intense criticism at home and abroad for failing to protect the rainforest. The amazon, which helps to slow down the pace of global warming, has seen more than 80,000 fires break out so far this year. Right now, there are close to 2,000 burning in the region. Sophie long reports now from Novo Progresso, in para state, deep in the amazon. The landscape along the road that takes us deep into the amazon bears the scars of the blazes that sparked International Outrage and are now threatening a whole way of life. This is the bau indigenous village. Children here are happily oblivious to the fact that the forest they live off is getting smaller. In the central meeting hut, the men are preparing for a naming ceremony to welcome a newborn, the latest addition to this tight knit, traditional community. But, as they prepare to celebrate new life, the village chief tells me the threat to his people is increasing with every day of Jair Bolsonaros presidency. Translation if the president continues with his policies, he will diminish Indigenous Lands so that he can confine us and exterminate us. That is what will happen. Next year, the burning will be even bigger, but we will be here fighting and resisting. We are prepared to die fighting for our land because we are warriors that are not afraid of the brazilian government. As the fires continue to burn, the smoke continues to rise from the forest. In Novo Progresso there is a heavy haze all around. It is smothering the city and its choking its children. Carla tais silvas two year old daughter has pneumonia. She is convinced she contracted it because of the smoke. She says, if she doesnt get the right treatment, she could die. Translation the lives of our children are being jeopardised by people that dont have any sense. They are doing harm to other people, they are just thinking about themselves. It is something i dont have words for. They do the damage and we are the ones who suffer, the children and their mothers. I asked the nurse on duty, dhelly pratis, if childrens lives are being put at risk. Yes, she tells me, not just the children its dangerous for everyone. Translation this is a huge problem. If things keep going like this, unfortunately the consequences will be even worse than the ones we are already witnessing. President bolsonaro has issued a 60 day ban on burning land, but few here believe that will make any difference. Even when the fires have been put out, this is what remains scorched earth, charred skeletons of trees. The dense rainforest that once stood here is no more, the species that lived in it are gone. All that remains is the flat, black land of deforestation, and this has happened in more than 80,000 places across the amazon this year alone. Sophie long, bbc news, Novo Progresso in the amazon. There are reports tonight of disturbances at a march in glasgow. Police said trouble flared at a march by the irish unity group in the govan area of the city. They say the march was met by hundreds of disru ptive counter demonstrators, leading to significant disorder. Is the process of becoming a british citizen too complicated and costly . Thats the question a Cross Party Group of mps is asking, as the government reviews how the process works. Currently, people hoping to become uk nationals have to pass a test about life in the uk, but is it too difficult . Our home editor, mark easton, has been to wakefield to find out. God save our gracious queen. Around 150,000 foreigners are turned into british citizens every year, often at a ceremonies like this one in wakefield. But becoming british takes at least six years and, typically, can cost between £5,000 and £10,000, making it among the most laborious and expensive in the world. I will be faithful and bear true allegiance. The home office even charges an extra fiver to take the oath . To her majesty the queen, elizabeth ii. The government is reviewing parts of the citizenship process so a good time to ask, how difficult should it be to become british . What does a good british citizen look like . And what does it mean to be british . With the help of Research Company britain thinks, weve assembled a jury of british citizens in the old courtroom at wakefield town hall. Six born and bred here and six who havejust become british. All new citizens must pass a life in the uk test so we thought we would test ourjurys knowledge of britain. First, simply colour in the union flag. Ive got the right colours but maybe not in the right places i quite like that as a flag. Completely wrong but quite nice would be uk citizens are also tested on their knowledge of british history. The repeal of the corn laws in 1846 was designed to do what . And geography. Can they locate glasgow, cardiff and norwich on a map . All of which poses another question is the life in the uk test a good measure of someones suitability as a citizen . Thats horrendous that was harder than my o level in history we cant answer half of the questions and weve lived here all our lives. Anyone disagree with that . Yes, i do. I do disagree because if you want to live among certain people, you have to know something about them. Next we challenged our two groups, citizens new. Its a little too brewed, i think. And long standing, to make what they regarded as a traditional british cup of tea. Always add the sugar in afterwards and the milk in afterwards as well. Is that important . Yeah, it tastes different. Some people say put the milk in first. No. If they dont have a spoon, they put it in first cunning its been suggested that new citizens should feel a sense of responsibility to volunteer in their local community. Do you think thats right . No. No . No. Why . Because they dont even know the place, theyre not familiar with it. What makes you better than me that i have to do it and you cant . It should be an option, if you want to do it. There is one british attribute often mentioned. How important is it to know how to queue in britain . Very. Vary. Very. I think its the most important thing out of the whole thing weve discussed as soon as they come out of the airport, lets teach them how to queue queueing is key how should a british citizen behave . Among the governments official suggestions introduce yourself to your neighbours, keep your garden tidy, and only put your dustbins out if they are due to be collected. Now, advice like that does seem, well, very british. Mark easton, bbc news, wakefield. And, if you want to know more about whats involved in the citizenship test, theres a quiz on the bbc news website at bbc. Co. Uk news. Thats it. Now on bbc one, time for the news where you are. Have a very good night. Hello, and welcome to sportsday. Im gavin ramjaun. Englands record wicket taker is out of the ashes. James andersons calf injury means hell play no further part. British number one Johanna Konta comfortably beats chinas zhang shuai to reach the us open fourth round. And we meet the man standing between british fighter Luke Campbell and a world title. The three weight World Champion on his dreams and the inspirations that drive him. Hello and welcome to sportsday, im gavin ramjaun. England have been dealt a big blow, in the ashes against australia. Fast Bowlerjames Anderson has been ruled out for the rest of the series. He had been playing for lancashires second 11 in a bid to prove his fitness, but he felt a pain in his calf yesterday. Following that, medical teams have ruled him out for the final two tests. Earlier this week, there had been some positive noises from anderson. He said he felt like he was getting somewhere and seemed hopeful of playing in the fourth test next week. Hell be replaced by somerset seamer craig overton. With the ashes series tied at one all, the momentum is with england after that sensational win at headingley last week. This is as worse as it gets for an athlete. The one thing you want to do is play on your home ground. He will be feeling his pain, i know he will be gutted. And it might give him a bit more steel to come back to us for another little stent, just to remind himself that he has achieved so much in his career. This will be frustrating, but we all know what a bowler he is. British number one Johanna Konta was in devastating form, to beat chinas zhang shuai and reach the us open fourth round. The 28 year old won 6 2, 6 3 in 71 minutes to reach the last 16 for the third grand slam in a row. Konta will face czech third seed Karolina Pliskova for a place in the quarter finals. Not such good news for Britains Dan Evans he was totally outclassed by roger federer. The five time champion won in straight sets, 6 2, 6 2, 6 1 to ease into the fourth round. Evans was playing his second match in 24 hours, after the weather delayed his match from the previous round. After that match, dan evans expressed his disappointment at being scheduled as the first match on arthur ashe on friday, having played a gruelling four setter against Lucas Pouille less than 24 hours earlier. He was asked if he thought federer had intentionally asked for the early start time. If that is the case, that is tough on me, isnt it . That would not be the first time a player has has had pull, so to speak. But for these guys, pull, so to speak. But for these guys, they want the tournament, the wood rather roger be going through that match than me. To football now. And two huge british derbys this weekend first up is the old firm match, between rangers and celtic. But once again, sectarian chanting has overshadowed build up to the fixture. With uefa charging rangers with racism for a second time. The club have been ordered to close a 3,000 seat section for theirfirst Europa League group game at ibrox. As punishment for sectarian chanting against legia warsaw last week. Chris mclaughlin reports. In terms of football, rangers are moving on. Through to the Europa League group stages after a win over legia warsaw. This is a club that cannot escape the dark cloud of sectarianism. Last week, it was ordered to leave 3000 seats free for last nights game against legia warsaw
