The canadian broadcaster jeffrey kofman, suzanne lynch, who writes from washington for the irish times, and catherine pepinster, a commentator on religious affairs, and former editor of the tablet. The amazon, the lung of our planet, is burning. So tweeted emmanuel macron, the president of france, late thursday. Hes the host of the g7 summit, in biarritz this weekend, and proposed putting it on the agenda. Which, to jair bolsonaro, brazils president , is just so much hot air. After all, burning forest to clear land for cattle and the growing of soya is to meet a global demand, not least from western nations. Brazil exports more soya than any other country. Still, on friday, he bowed to the pressure and sent in the military to tackle the fires. Brazil isnt one of the self described advanced economies that make up the g7. China isnt either, but it lobbed an economic hand grenade on the eve of the summit, announcing fresh tariffs on american goods. Its all very well
This is the reason for the protests taking place in the large cities of brazil, in sao paulo, brasilia, and rio. This has also caused the international outcry. This is a global crisis, because these are considered the lungs of the world. And just on a human level, and an emotional level almost, it is extremely upsetting, extremely disturbing, to see this kind of devastation unfolding in front of you. Now its time for a look at the weather with nick miller. Plenty of hazy sunshine to be had. A lot of sunshine compared to yesterday. Cloud for the Channel Islands, west wales and may be edging towards the coast of north west england to the afternoon. It is going to feel a bit hotter than yesterday. Where you have cloud temperatures may be a couple of degrees lower but for many of us adding a few degrees to these temperatures. More of us creeping to 30 or even 32 in parts of south east england.

Wednesday in parliament. The news from westminster the labour leader accuses the government of neglecting ordinary people. A conservative Prime Minister once told britain, youve never had it so good. Now tory mps tell each other, weve never had it so good. But the Prime Minister says voters cant trust labour. He promised voters he would deliver on brexit. And hes let them down.
