This is just a small part of the many tributes that have been laid at the scene of andrews death and also received by the force from both police colleagues, fire, ambulance, military and members of the public as well, and a true reflection of how andrews passing has been felt by us locally, but also by the rest of the country. Thank you for coming andi of the country. Thank you for coming and i wish you well for the rest of the day. Thank you. The scene at sulhamstead in berkshire where that minutes silence has been held to mark pc Andrew Harper who died while responding to a reported crime, this time last week, you saw the chief co nsta ble time last week, you saw the chief constablejohn time last week, you saw the chief constable John Campbell speaking before him introducing the silence, the Thames ValleyPolice Chaplain helen arnold.

Words as well from pc Andrew Harpers mother today, debbie, among family members paying tribute to her son after thanking Police Officers, paramedics and the public. She said this, going on to my nearest and dearest Andrew Harper, our lives have been torn apart, and his closest family of late, lissie. He was always the most balanced, calm, caring but loving and hilariously funny character. Adding everything he did was with a smile. Weirdly, she says i cant even remember a time that he was angry or in a bad mood. She finished her tribute by saying, we are devastated and bereft and andrew has always lived with dignity, honour and calmness and we intend to grieve in this way. A big part of me has gone with you. I cant imagine our lives Going Forward but we will do so with you in our hearts. The words of Andrew Harpers mother in tribute to her son.

But we were so, so lucky to all be together for the wedding just four weeks ago, which was perfect. You always brought us together. And of course, those scenes that you are witnessing in sulhamstead go a few miles away to wallingford in oxfordshire which is where pc Andrew Harper comes from, and you will have seen coverage in harper comes from, and you will have seen coverage in recent days of the various tributes people in that town have been paying to him led by a close friend who put a blue ribbon up close friend who put a blue ribbon up outside his plant nursery. That idea caught on. So many others in shop windows, round street lamps, in just ordinary houses have put thin blue ribbons up to acknowledge their support for pc Andrew Harpers family might people continue to stand in silence there at sulhamstead, which is the Police Training centre close to where he was killed. Just one other line of tribute, and this is a reference to what his widow lissie harper has said of him, that he was the kindest, loveliest, most selfless person you will ever meet. She said, you were brave, funny and always there for anyone who needed it. And she added as well that her husband loved being a Police Officer and a lwa ys loved being a Police Officer and always wanted to keep everyone safe, especially me, she said. You went the extra mile whenever you could and genuinely cared for everyone. The lights have dimmed on all of our lives now that you are no longer here but its no surprise that even when you are gone you are still keeping us all going, the words of pc harpers widow lissie, is that minutes silence is held at sulhamstead and marked, as you saw, by other forces around the country. World leaders have expressed concern at the Record Number of wildfires continuing to blaze in brazils amazon rainforest. The french president , Emmanuel Macron, tweeted our house is burning, and has called for the issue to be discussed as a matter of International Concern at this weekends g7 summit in biarritz. Brazils president Jair Bolsonaro responded by accusing mr macron of a misplaced colonialist mindset and using the issue for political gain. This map shows the extent of the problem, with more than 2,500 active fires currently in the brazilian amazon which is a vital carbon store that slows down the pace of global warming. Data from brazils Space Agency Says there have been more than 75,000 wildfires so far this year double the total number in 2013. Thats an 85 increase on the same period last year. Conservationists have blamed mr bolsonaros government for the amazons plight, saying that he has encouraged loggers and farmers to clear the land. Ramzan kamali reports. The fires in brazils rainforest rage on. This year, theres been a Record Number. Satellites have identified over 75,000, most of them located in the amazon basin. The situation has become increasingly worse over the past three weeks, with smoke from the raging fires now covering more than half the country. Frances president , Emmanuel Macron, has labelled the situation in the amazon an International Crisis that needs to be on top of the agenda at the g7 summit, which kicks off saturday, in the french seaside town of biarritz. But the brazilian president said the comment evokes a colonialist mindset, and hit out at the International Criticism in a facebook video. Translation those countries that send money here, theyre not doing it for charity. I hope everyone can understand that. Theyre doing it because they have a vested interest. They want to interfere with our sovereignty. The president has, for the first time, acknowledged that farmers in the amazon are starting fires to clear the land. But hes also accused non governmental organisations. Conservationists blame his government, saying he has encouraged uncontrolled logging and clearings. Translation actually, its bolsonaro who is responsible for what is happening in the amazon. He promotes policies that encourage environmental crime, which make culprits feel comfortable. Worryingly, president bolsonaro admitted brazil doesnt have the resources to fight the flames. With the amazon being home to the Worlds Largest tropical forest, its seen as a vital tool to counter global warming. Ramzan kamarli, bbc news. Angela merkel has described the wildfires as an acute emergency and says it belongs on the g7 agenda. Ive been discussing the possible Environment Impact of the wildfires in brazils amazon with richard george, head of forests at greenpeace. Whats really alarming is that this isnt an accident. It said deliberate result of the president s policies. Hes been encouraging farmers to go and clear the amazon to grow crops like soya and cattle. Hes saying that there is insufficient help for brazil to counter this problem, leaving the politics of this aside for a moment. Do you accept that that is at least part of the story . I think the fires at the scale they are at now its almost impossible to put out so we have a real Global Crisis on our hands. President macron last night was tweeting that the g7 should be discussing this but bolsonaro immediately rejected those advances. Something has to be done. We cannot allow the amazon to go up in flames. When you look at the political approach, particularly president macrons, the response to that has been dont talk about my country if im not part of the discussions. Would that engagement have been a better way . Until very recently there was extensive engagement from European Countries with president bolsonaro and with brazil. There was an amazon fund set up as part of the global fight against Climate Change to pay brazil for amazon protection. Just last week germany and norway pulled out because of the way that bolsonaro was undermining that fund, so yes, we do need to be engaging brazil, but unfortunately president bolsonaro continues to reject any effort by World Leaders to support him in preventing this crisis, and lets not forget he is the one fueling the crisis. He is the one encouraging farmers to destroy forests. He is creating a situation that the world needs to respond to. If the destruction continues at this speed, what are we talking about in terms of the wider implications of that . Nothing less than any serious climate catastrophe. The amazon rainforest, if it is unable to continue to function as the lungs of the planet, means that any chance of preventing climate breakdown will be out the window, really. Thats why its so urgent that we act. The lungs of the planet comment my understanding of that is your argument would be that you get to a certain point in terms of the level of destruction and then a cycle tends to follow and its very hard to reverse that. Thats right, and were already seeing this in the amazon at the moment, so normally rainforest is very wet, even in the dry season. It does not burn like this. But steady degradation, logging and development to make way for farms, clearance of the forest, leaves the forest vulnerable to fire. Unfortunately it isnt just the amazon. We are seeing exactly the same situation in indonesia, russia and many other forests all over the world, so the amazon is very iconic. It is one of the worlds most im porta nt forests and we have a global forests crisis. Our estimate is about 50 million hectares of forest, an area twice the size of the uk has been lost in the last ten years alone so we really need to get to grips with us. A young boy has died after becoming unwell at a Holiday Resort in wiltshire. Emergency services were called to center parcs in longleat on saturday afternoon. A spokeswoman for center parcs said it was deeply saddened by the tragic news and that their thoughts were with the childs family. Great british bake Offjudge Prue leith will advise the government on how to improve the quality of food served at nhs hospitals in england. The review aims to set new standards for the 140 million meals served every year. It follows the deaths of six people due to an outbreak of listeria, linked to pre packaged sandwiches and salads in some hospitals. What we want this review to do is actually to look at where these best practices are happening. We need to learn from those, we want to actually understand where the gaps in the system are, so that we can help people eat a healthy diet in hospital so that they can get their path to recovery is much quicker and we can keep our vital hospital staff healthy and well by giving them access to great food as well. Heres celebrity chef prue leith explaining why she got involved with this review. Ive spent most of my working career, and thats sort of 50 years, worrying about public food. I just think the whole world should eat well and have access to healthy food and so on. So, its sort of natural, so over the years ive campaigned quite often with different organisations about hospital food because it seems to me so obvious that if youre in a hospital you need to be fed healthily, food is medicine. But its notjust about health, its about pleasure. I mean, why not take the opportunity of lunch or supper to give patients, who are not having a joyous time in hospital, no ones there voluntarily, a bit of pleasure in their lives . You know, to put a smile on their face. We can speak now to professorjohn ashton, who is the former north west regional director of Public Health he joins us via webcam. If you had the chance to prioritise one thing that would make a big difference to hospital food what would it be . We need to bring back some kitchens. A hospital without a kitchen is like a hospital without an operating theatre. It is correct to say that food as medicine. It is grotesque that we have had a situation that has allowed to develop where kitchens have been closed down and we are buying food and from outside and sandwiches, for goodness sake, most people in hospital are elderly or frail, their immune systems may be compromised, they probably havent been eating particularly well at home, having good but safe food is absolutely pa rt good but safe food is absolutely part of their treatment. I cannot understand why we have a celebrity chef looking at best. What we need isa chef looking at best. What we need is a Public Health review and way it has been possible for savages to be contaminated in the food chain. Part of this is the privatisation of the third supply to hospitals but a big pa rt third supply to hospitals but a big part of it as well is what has happened to local Public Health system since 2013. We are told there is going to be a root and branch review. Does that encourage you . Root and branch celebrity chef. Goodness me. What root and branch means ten years to get the Environmental Health departments back up to strength, to give local directors of Health Freedom to speak out on these matters. Many of them are being lined managed by local directors of social service. It is bizarre the situation we now have in local authorities. This country established a model for Public Health throughout the world for 150 yea rs health throughout the world for 150 years and we have taken it apart in the last six years. This is a wake up call. It is like the canary in the coal mine. It is telling us the system is fragile and vulnerable and these things will continue to happen until we put Public Health back on a proper fitting at the local level. How much of this is an argument about money . Some of it is about money but a lot of it is about the way we completely messed up the arrangements. They have created National Agencies like the Food Standards Agency and the Environment Agency and they have enough trouble talking to each other at the national level. They have no idea what is happening on the ground. The local level is being weakened. The clinical side of Public Health has been whittled away from local authorities because local authorities because local authorities will not pay medical salaries to people employed in local government. The medical Public Health people have been moving into jobs in Public Health england that they can get the chance and they have much more of a nationalfocus, supposedly keeping ministers safe, but this has made ministers very vulnerable, this episode. Thank you. Today marks the start of the big getaway, as millions of people travel to make the most of the Bank Holiday Weekend, so what can they expect and what should they be watching out for . I am joined in the studio by our correspondent, andy moore. A couple of factors that may make it trickier this weekend. One is the good weather. We might have the hottest ba n k good weather.
