Good evening, welcome to bbc news. The fires which are currently ravaging the amazon rain forest in brazil are prompting the leaders of france and ireland that they wont support a major trade deal with south america unless the president of brazil does more to bring the situation under control. Campaigners have blamed Jair Bolsonaro for the spread of the fires, which are threatening a major source of the worlds oxygen. While the places which are scattered widely across the amazon, most notably in the north of brazil, are the most intense in the region for almost a decade. The issue is due to be discussed at the g7 summit this weekend in france. But bolsonaro has criticised foreign governments or interference. James robbins reports. The fires in the amazon forest continue to rage. And as more and more trees are lost, the threat to this great carbon capturing region of the world grows. Reports suggest there may be 2500 separate fires in the brazilian amazon. Farmers and loggers are being widely blamed for lighting many of them. There has been a sustained pattern of clearing forest for cultivation, part of a drive to expand agriculture, encouraged by the countrys controversial, right wing president. Translation actually it is bolsonaro who is responsible for what is happening in the amazon. He encourages environmental crime which makes criminals feel comfortable. Several World Leaders are about to travel to france for a summit hosted by president macron, and applaud his decision to put the amazon fires at the top of the agenda. He tweeted. I passionately share the view of Emmanuel Macron about what is happening in brazil. One of the things i am going to be raising at the g7 is the horrific loss of habitats and species around the world. With protests in london and other capitals, all this has gone down very badly with brazils president bolsonaro. He is accusing g7 leaders of a colonial mindset and climate charities of interference. Translation those countries that send money here, they are not doing it for charity. I hope everyone can understand that. They are doing it because they have a vested interest. They want to interfere with our sovereignty. They are looking for riches under the soil. The amazon rainforest is huge, not only in sheer geographical size, but also in its importance in sustaining life on earth. It covers about 2. 1 million square miles, about half the size of europe. It has billions of trees and is home to three million species of plants and animals. The amazon produces 20 of our planets oxygen and absorbs harmful c02 from the atmosphere. But the forest is under threat, with an average area the size of a football pitch being cleared every minute. And this year, the number of fires in the forest has jumped by 85 . My colleague is in the west of the country. Firefighters in the state, one of the most affected by the fires have been working here for the past two weeks using blowers and water trying to put out the flames. Resources are an issue here as it is a vast area with few people on the ground and a tight budget. It is the Indigenous People of the amazon who are suffering most. Some have been attacked and killed. They see the entire world under threat. That is increasingly the view of much of the rest of the world also. But is there enough political will to change things . James robbins, bbc news. Joining me now is an economy or to the economist from rio dejaneiro, as well as jonathan the economist from rio dejaneiro, as well asjonathan mizell from survival international. Thanks for joining us on bbc news. Jair bolsonaro argues that this land in the amazon needs to be destroyed so that farmers can use it, and it is important to the Country Economic debacle economically. What is the truth behind this claim . It sort of depends on what your view is. Bolsonaro thinks that this land needs to be developed for the economic benefit of brazilians that live in the area, as well as for mining. Theres lots of mineral rich soil in this area, so that is his stance. He sort of thinks that people on the outside, foreign governments, ngos need to get out of the way and let brazil develop this land in the way that they want to, because it is really a sovereignty issue for him. Jonathan, your organisation works close with the with Indigenous People will stopi Million People are in the amazon, 1 Million People are in the amazon, i million Indigenous People are in the amazon, what are they saying about their livelihood 7 the amazon, what are they saying about their livelihood . They are angry and defiant. Theyve been protesting bolsonaro and his policies, and is openly racist rhetoric since he was elected. There have been unprecedented protests across brazil by Indigenous Peoples since january, the start of the year when he came to power. Whats been happening the last few weeks is the scale of the fires this dry season in the amazon have become apparent. They have been very vociferous, especially the young generation of Indigenous Leaders who are savvy on social media and so on, and theyve been organising protest and vowing to resist. But they are facing a hell of a fight because the governments agencies that are responsible for protecting the amazon and those responsible for protecting indigenous territories have really been gutted by bolsonaro. So the odds are very much stacked against them at the moment. France and ireland have threatened to veto this huge eu trade deal with south american countries unless bolsonaro does something outwardly. Hes been very critical of this, unsurprisingly, but do you think that threat could cut through and forced him to do something . M that threat could cut through and forced him to do something . It sort of depends on if he wants to respond to the International Pressure. Bolsonaro has a really nationalist rhetoric, something that got him elected. The things he says about the amazon being hours, not yours really resonates with a lot of his base. So it is a really popular sentiment in brazil, and that is something where his nationalistic rhetoric and his rhetoric about the amazon has been present in his 30 year long political career. When push comes to shove, its hard to say whether he will give in to that pressure, the trade deal is something that has been in the works for a long time. There are other countries involved, its notjust with brazil but the whole south American Trading blocs. You may get pressure from other countries who area bit pressure from other countries who are a bit more globalist and into having this trade deal more than bolsonaro. He may get pressure from his neighbours for that, but in terms of bolsonaro himself, he actually is quite nationalistic and protectionist. So it is hard to say whether that threat will really affect him. You are saying there have been increasing numbers of protests by the Indigenous People there. What did they actually want to happen, have they managed to vocalize what they see as the solution to this . Firstly they want present bolsonaro to roback from his very open support for the destruction of the rain forest president bolsonaro. Hes been completely open and upfront about his backing for farmers and ranchers, and the agricultural lobby in generalto do ranchers, and the agricultural lobby in general to do for us the amazon. So they want that, but they also wa nt so they want that, but they also want theirland so they want that, but they also want their land rights protected because there is no question, if you look at the satellite photos, the biggest barrier to deforestation in the amazon is the recognition of indigenous territories, which are very often the only areas of rain fore st left very often the only areas of rain forest left in various brazilian states. According to the brazilian constitution, those territories should have been recognised and mapped out and protected years ago, but havent been. That above all is what they are pushing for. And i think the brazilian president has shown himself to be susceptible to both national and International Pressure. He is not immune to it, andl pressure. He is not immune to it, and i think that this is very much a situation where International Pressure from ordinary members of the public can actually make a difference. Lets pick up on that point with anna. A state of emergency has been declared in brazils largest state, amazonia. Smoke is travelled thousands of kilometres to sao paulo, how much of a local issue is this . Will this really make a difference to bolsonaro if people stand up and protest about it . It definitely has become a bigger topic more and more, and especially this week. Sao paulo is brazils biggest city, a population of 20 Million People. The sky went dark on monday it because of smoke from thousands of kilometres away, as well as other factors it brought this to the forefront in a way that i have not seen a lot in brazil. Its a really main topic in the news right now, so i think it is becoming much more of a household political issue, whereas during the election, which bolsonaro one, there was lots of talk about corruption and crime and topical issues that the large majority of the population. So i think that this outcry weve seen the last week is shifting attitude bit. There will be a protest this afternoon in some big in brazil, so i think its becoming more of an everyday topic and concern for people. And jonathan, thank you both very much for your thoughts on these fires on the amazon anna and jonathan. Police forces across the country have held a minutes silence in memory of pc Andrew Harper who was killed investigating a burglary in berkshire last week. His mother says their lives have been torn apart by his death. Daniel sanford reports. Pc Andrew Harpers family are still in the early days of coming to terms with his death.

Bury football it could be expeued silence. Bury football it could be expelled from the English Football League unless the club shows it has Adequate Funding by midnight tonight. Football club. Donald trump has waited deep into the us china trade war on twitter. This time, the president said he was ordering us companies to look at ways to close their operations in china and make more products in america. He said our Great American companies are hereby ordered to immediately start looking for an alternative to china. He went on to say. The comments came hours after china announced it will impose additional tariffs on us imports, worth about 75 billion. This in retaliation to a us decision to increase tariffs on chinese goods. Lets go live to washington where chris butler is following this story. The us china trade war deepens, what has been the reaction there to this order . You can imagine that donald trump is furious about the way that this trade battle is turning out. Both sides put in place damaging tariffs, and a potentially could damage both countriess economies. It can also cause real problems for the global economy. As a result, he is now trying to ratchet it out of dashed up a level, trying to force china into a deal. But certainly if you took a look at those posts on twitter, it gave you a sense of a president who is furious. The white house is sitting there, saying as far as it is concerned, it will continue this battle. There is an indicator that there will be a response sometime soon. Trump was back tariffs of 10 go on another 300 billion of chinese goods by 15 december. Some question whether he will try to bring that forward again because theyre initially had been plans to go on from first september, giving you a sense that this trade war will only deepen further. Chris buckler in washington, thank you. Bury football clu b in washington, thank you. Bury Football Club will be expelled from the English Football League at midnight tonight unless a last minute deal can be struck to save it. The league1 last minute deal can be struck to save it. The league 1 side has not played a match this season because of financial problems. 0wner steve dale has just hours to prove they have the funding to continue. Judith moretz is in bury for us. It is the photo stunt they would rather not be posing for, but these supporters have a point to make. The club was founded more than 130 years ago but they know this could be its last day. Across the generations, the fans are feeling desperate. Amongst them, anthony and peter, both season Ticket Holders since childhood. Its in the family. You know, i can only describe it to losing a relative. It sounds silly but thats really what it feels like. Tough for you, as well . Definitely, berry is a place that every saturday, you dont have to get in touch with your friends, you know they are going to be here. It is organic socialisation, meeting up with people and it is killing us losing this club, it is killing us. Its a big contrast to the highs of last season when they won promotion from league 2. But the club has been dogged by rumours of financial trouble. It was bought for £1 in december, 12 points were docked and the team is yet to play a game this season. 0wner steve dale has been given until midnight to provide proof of funds or sale. This afternoon, he was touring tv and radio stations doing a series of interviews, saying he regrets the day he bought the club. Worst thing i ever did. I have never been in industry where you get vilified for saving something that you did i didnt create this mess. All i have done is save and reduce that debt. Never taken a penny and all this, you are an asset stripper. How can you strip assets of something that you dont own a stick in there . But the fans are unanimous the fans want him out. He says he has a buyer but the Football League says there has been limited progress with any deal. If no solution is found by midnight, bury be the first club to be injected from the league since 1992. Others are watching on anxiously. Other clubs with 2500, costs them money to put games on and they lose money putting a game on. This is now endemic right through the league. It is not even the championship with the money in there, they are overspending. They are getting themselves in trouble. Bury is a club with a proud history, twice winners of the fa cup, it has had its glory days. Its faithful followers are praying it will have them again. Judith moritz, bbc news, bury. Joining me now is the chairman of the 0mara football supporters association. Thanks very much for joining us, tom. Just a few months ago, bury was celebrating promotion. How did they get to this point . You heard in that report that these issues are not new, the financial problems last year despite that problem, none of the players were paid february onwards. The owner seems to be taunting bury fans from studios across the country. How to be get into a position where he was with no proof of any money, and able to ta ke with no proof of any money, and able to take over this Historic Club . 0ne of the early members of the Football League, and potentially now at the 11th hour close to ceasing to exist . What impact will have on the fans . In his defence, he says these issues are historic and he inherited them, didnt he . He should not have been allowed to inherent them, thats the point. How was somebody with no financial backing, whose history of buying companies that are insolvent and selling the assets, how was he able to take over in the first place . That is a big problem for regulation overall, because effectively the efl goaded him to ta ke effectively the efl goaded him to take over from the previous owner without processing whether he would be the right person to take over and runa be the right person to take over and run a Football Club. The football clu b run a Football Club. The Football Club is not like any other business, you heard from that report, the impact it will have on the community and the town of bury. What is happening with bury is there are many other towns who are in precarious and similar positions, blackpool recently had problems, charlton as well because of ownership and stewardship of clubs. The real root of the problem is that the regulation of who owns and runs football clu bs the regulation of who owns and runs Football Clubs in this country is different from the rest of europe and not Strong Enough or good enough for the efl, which is owned by all the owners of the clubs and set their own rules, marks their own homework, and allows us to happen. I hope this situation with bury gives a wake up call to the football authorities to deal with this properly in the future so we dont have this happen again with other club. Hours to go before the club can be saved, and if not it will disappear, 134 years of football history. What needs to happen in the coming hours to save it . |j com pletely coming hours to save it . |j completely appreciate the pressure of the efl is under because they have a competition to run, theres already been 5 6 games postponed which affects the integrity of the competition. But i hope they can enable the potential offers which we know there are potential offers, to be able to come forward and enable them to take over the ownership of running the bury Football Club to allow it to survive and effectively get its house in order. Thats what i hope will happen. But im hoping, i have no certainty, and we shouldnt have got to this place. The real point about this is it should not have allowed to get to this position, and after this is dealt with, i think the efl and other football authorities need to look at the way football is regulated in this country, and why this has been able to happen and prevent it happening ever again. As far as prevent it happening ever again. As faras timing goes, prevent it happening ever again. As far as timing goes, at what point will be no weather there has been any movement . Could it come as close to midnight . The deadline is 11 55pm, but the chair of the efl has set a couple times that it may be 2448 has set a couple times that it may be 24 48 hours. Bury appears to be calling for more time. There will be more time, it may be 1 2 days rather than extending it for long periods. We may hear something late tonight, or it could be in the next day or two. I hope we get to a point where we can find a point for bury to continue. It is an Historic Club and it is important in the history of english football itself, but is also a Real Community accent and has a big impact on the community. We cant see that happening to one club, because if it happens to one, it could happen to others. Good to get your thoughts this evening, tom, thanks for updating us on the situation regarding bury fc. Glasgow university is to make £20 million of reparations after finding out it benefited by tens of millions of pounds from the slave trade. Earlier today a memorandum of understanding was signed in partnership with the university of the west indies. The money to be raised over the next 20 yea rs money to be raised over the next 20 years will be spent on setting up and running the glasgow Caribbean Centre for development research. Joining me now is sirjeff palmer, Professor Emeritus at the university of edinburgh. As he can see, he joins mina from glasgow. Thanks very much for being with us. Now you are involved in making this happen, how do you feel today . Im feeling wonderful. I think i was there today, and the faces of those who attended reassured me that this was absolutely the right thing to do, that the university has done. How did you help make this happen . What needed to be recognised and who need to be aware, and a shift in attitudes . Well what the university alot attitudes . Well what the university a lot of people have been doing research on this topic for years, and we know that in glasgow, if we look at certain buildings and street names, like the Central Building in the centre of glasgow, the enormous building was a slave masters house. Therefore what the university did was to check back its own history and found that it received £200 million in legacies. We had a situation where a notorious slave master was a director of the university, so the university did the research, came up with the results, found that they had been involved and decided to set up a Reparation Programme between the university of the west indies and themselves, and also to form relationships with organisations in britain. How did they come up with this £20 million . Im not party to that, but i think that it is probably a figure that they know they can afford. And this reparation is not just about they can afford. And this reparation is notjust about money, but about they can afford. And this reparation is not just about money, but about a frame of mind, about admission which has a greater impact than the money that has been announced. There are those who argue that true restitution really comes only in the form of paying some financial compensation to the relatives of those who have been born since slavery, those who were directly impacted. Do you think there is an argument for that . People have different views about this. My view is that education and reparation go together. I think it is completely unrealistic that money will be doled out to individuals. I think if money we re out to individuals. I think if money were to be doled out, it should be to the governments of the colonial countries. But glasgow has taken this responsibility and i think it isa this responsibility and i think it is a wonderful decision. And i think if people want to question it, they should just sit and see what glasgow will achieve. I can assure that achievement will be significant. Glasgow is the First University to do this, do you think others will follow . I think so. Do this, do you think others will follow . Ithink so. Ithink do this, do you think others will follow . I think so. I think other universities are concerned about public perception. About if they we re public perception. About if they were associated with slavery, then it might affect their funding, and individuals may not want to fund them. I think if that is the case, thatis them. I think if that is the case, that is shameful. Glasgow should be applauded that they held their hand up applauded that they held their hand up and said, we were involved and has really done something about it, and they have put up a plaque, which other institutions do not want to put upa other institutions do not want to put up a plaque. But glasgow is putting up a plaque pointing out exactly what it was so that their stu d e nts exactly what it was so that their students can see that this is a university who has moral principles. Sirjeff palmer, thank you very much for joining sirjeff palmer, thank you very much forjoining us and telling us more about those reparations to be told like paid by glasgow university. Some sport now, england faced a huge challenge to regain the ashes after being bowled out forjust 67 in their first being bowled out forjust 67 in theirfirst innings at being bowled out forjust 67 in their first innings at the third test at headingley. Three days left to play australia already lead by 250 runs. Any swiss reports. So much hope, so much promise. After a good first day, england fans had arrived with a spring in their step, only to watch their ashes chances seemingly vanish before their eyes. Jason roys wickets sparking even by englands standards a jaw dropping collapse. Joe root gone for a duck and every time we thought it couldnt get any worse, somehow it did. Ben stokes horrible swish perhaps the low point. Dire, desperate you could pretty much pick your adjective. And when top scorerjoe denly went for a mighty 12, what followed was grimly inevitable as australia ripped through the rest a case of blink and you missed it. England blown away for 67. Their lowest test score against australia since 1948. Surely there was no way back . Trailing by a whopping 112 runs, their bowlers now needed something special. And they did their best with stuart broad and thenjack leach making early breakthroughs. Could there be another twist . They would need to take every chance and they didnt. Root the culprit, and although stokes spectacularly accounted for travis head, australias lead was growing all the time. A chastening day for england. Their ashes hopes are fast slipping away. Sunny for the rest of the weekend, heres chris with the details. Hello again, weve had some fine spells of sunshine around today, and more of the same to come over the weekend. But it is set to get a bit hotter. 0vernight tonight, its notjust dry for all of us, we have weather fronts across northWestern Areas bringing rain to the northwest of scotland. Not far away from western parts of northern ireland. 0therwise it is dry with mist patches but nothing too cold. 11 15dc. High pressure steering winds from the near continent across the uk, boosting temperatures, but the weather fronts across Western Areas will bring cloudier skies and threats of a few showers working into these northWestern Areas, particularly for the highlands and islands. Any Morning Cloud breaking up islands. Any Morning Cloud breaking up the sunshine coming through. It bea up the sunshine coming through. It be a warm one, temperatures up to 24 celsius in edinburgh and newcastle, heights reaching 30 celsius towards london in southeast england. More of the same on sunday, hot for most of us. Monday could be a bit cloudy with temperatures easing of it, perhaps a few showers. Hello this is bbc news with samantha simmonds. The headlines. International leaders express their horror at the fires raging in the region. And they accuse the president if brazilfor region. And they accuse the president if brazil for addressing the issue. Firefighters in the state, one of the most affected by the fires have been working here for the past two weeks using blowers and water trying to put out the flames. Tributes and a minutes silence for pc Andrew Harper who died in the line of duty. Bury Football Club could be expelled from the English Football League, for lack of funding. The club has until midnight to show it has the funds to survive. Glasgow university is to make £20 million of reparations after it found out that it benefited from tens of millions of pounds from the slave trade. Borisjohnson says hes deeply concerned about the Record Number of fires in the amazon rainforest. The Prime Minister will use this weekends g7 summit to call for a renewed focus on protecting the environment. 0ur bbc brazil reporter camilla mota has been following the effort to contain the fires. Shes in the humaita district of the amazon rainforest. She says low humidity and strong winds are adding to the challenge. We spotted this area from the highway and we came to take a closer work. A local resident told us that this fire has been going on for days and it destroyed part of his property. There is a conservancy area 2km from here in the direction actually where the fire is heading. The state of rondonia is one of the most affected by the fires, fire brigades have been working here for the past two weeks to try to put down the flames, to put out the flames that have been caused by human activity. But low humidity and strong winds make the job way tougher. Brazils environmental policy has been heavily criticised inside and outside the country for discrediting Scientific Data and blaming ngos for the current situation. Local agencies here have been under a gag order and they cant speak to the press. Amid growing pressure, president Jair Bolsonaro has said that brazil lacks the amount of resources to properly address the situation. But its important to remember that the president said brazil didnt need International Money to protect its own territory, refusing donations from norway and germany, the main supporters of the amazon fund which here help to buy the aeroplane that has been used in oversight operations. Camilla veras mota, bbc news, rondonia. Artificial intelligence is transforming many sectors of the economy and farming is one of them. It is hoped that precision farming will help to reduce waste and help welfare using the technology to track the Mental Health of livestock and physical health. And help you to decide which crops to harvest. 0n the conclusion of our focus on farming week, Claire Marshall takes a look at farming. What are these pigs thinking . How do they feel . This scanner acts as an eye for a machine analysing their expressions. Soon it should allow us to understand the bigs emotions. This technology in its Research Phase was conceived in the west country. The vision of the future of farming is one mould in the amna moles in comfort. Look at the facilities here. The cows movement is monitored to check its health. This techis monitored to check its health. This tech is already on the market. The facial recognition is coming next. We will be able to see whether or not an we will be able to see whether or notan animal we will be able to see whether or not an animal that is lame and you can infer whether it is unhappy and whether that animal has a different face to an animal that isnt in pain. We are trying to find those differences between the faces. Here is another glance into the future. Watch this disease is poor. And enters a sensor biologically engineered to mimic the crop. Like a kind of fire alarm, the sensor sets off an early alert. They can all be linked up warning otherfarmers weeks before any damage is visible. And they can be 3d printed. We have got some very clever cutting edge engineering but at the same time there is cutting edge biology as well. And only by bringing those two together can we actually start addressing what will need to be done in the future. 1. 3 million broccoli crops are growing on the slender doncaster. We were given exclusive access of field trials of a scouting device that gathers data about each specific implant in the latest in position farming. Most of us as consumers we dont buy wonky veg. If it is too big or too small or misshapen, the supermarkets wont accept it. We can know which plants are of saleable quality directly and if it is too small we can leave it behind, if it isjust right if it is too small we can leave it behind, if it is just right we if it is too small we can leave it behind, if it isjust right we can harvest it. This could save millions of tonnes of food from being wasted and cut pesticide use. As the claimant grows more unstable, scientists warned humans do need to ta ke scientists warned humans do need to take more care of the land. Claimant grows more unstable. All week long weve been focusing on the issues affecting farming from new technology has you heard there to climate change. To conclude our series we arejoined climate change. To conclude our series we are joined by three farmers across the uk who are all working to change the landscape of the industry in the uk. With me is Richard Bauer, chairman of the Nationalfarmers Union Richard Bauer, chairman of the National Farmers union in staffordshire, emily duff from the agricultural Science Union which educates and inspires the next generation of farmers and i am joined by duncan hall. Thanks for all of you being here in bbc news. Richard if i can start for you, you are the third of bowers to rear crops on yourfarms. Are the third of bowers to rear crops on your farms. What change of you seen an expense during your lifetime there . Good evening and thank you for inviting me on this evening. From my point of view i think farmers have always been pushing new boundaries. Granddad used to farm with horses and mechanization using tractors. My father then use more technology. But now an environmental focus in the work. It is notjust about producing food,it work. It is notjust about producing food, it is about looking out for the environment. And thats beneficial for us as well. Emily duff from the agricultural science unit, tell us about the work you do there stop what we do a whole range of fridays of education and mainly pushing the livestock sector. For the future farming. Tell us more about that, what is being done to address recruitment for the future of farmers. Wejust address recruitment for the future of farmers. We just heard from Richard Bauer bucking the trend under 60. The average age is 60 in this country . I think so. Studies have shown that the youngest age for managers are 35 now. We are pushing for education in schools to integrate farming back into gcse six there. And we are pushing every area that we possibly can. Duncan lets turn to you. You run a Small Agricultural contracting business but you were brought up on a 160 acre family farm. What are you doing to look into sustainability and current farming methods reducing waste, that kind of thing . We have about 400 breeding. I am waste, that kind of thing . We have about 400 breeding. Lam in waste, that kind of thing . We have about 400 breeding. I am in the process of looking at different technologies that we can use to improve breeding so that we are improving all the time better, Getting Better at lambs for the markets. Can you give us an example or two . Yeah, eid for example is compulsory right across europe. We have just invested heavily with eid. We have an automatic weighing machine weighing our lambs straight from when they are born to when they are ready for the market. So that we make sure that we are producing the right annable with the right way to gains for the marketplace. The right animal. Richard bauer whats go back to you. What work are you doing to look into sustainability of current farming methods to make sure you have a viable business for the future . The one thing we have embraces strip tillage. We started, we always inverted or plough the soil but now it looks cosmetically beautiful but actually it uses a lot of burn diesel to create it. So now we only cultivate the soil where the seed is to be placed. It saves a lot of fewer and its betterfor the structure of the soil as well and leaving the trash of last years crop on the surface and stops the erosion. A second thing we are doing is using as many manoeuvres as possible to grow our crops. Rather than using in organic fertiliser produced in a factory, and burning fossil fuels to make the, we use as much manure as possible. We use five loads of organic fertiliser, and now we only use one load and the rest is replaced with manure. Emily duff how does Technology Pay part in the work you do . It plays a part and what we do massively. We encourage students to use upcoming a new technology so when they go into the Agricultural Sector and they have newjobs that they are up to date and still.

Duncan hawley, weve been talking this week about farming post brexit. With or without a deal. We dont know what is going to happen in the coming weeks. But how do you see the future of farming in the coming years . but how do you see the future of farming in the coming years . I think that farming has got a strong place. I think the way that we are going to be doing things over the next 5 10 years is going to change dramatically because of the climate change. Everything going on in the moment. Ijust think that post brexit, the world will still need feeding. We have a growing worldwide population. And we have a growing population. And we have a growing population here in the uk. And i think that if the general public can back us by buying british, buying red tractor and sourced meat, then that will go a long way to supporting agriculture in britain. Richard are you optimistic about the future farming in this country . Absolutely, that is why i am in this career. It is the bestjob in the world. We need to remember all the benefits farming brings to the economy. Yes Food Production but also we can produce food, fuel, energy, manage the environment and Public Engagement is an area. We have invited the public onto torpharm. We offer Mental Health and wealth being classes. It is useful for society. It is very good. We can help the nhs, we can help trade, we can help education as well. Farmers are here to be part of the answer. Emily duff, final thought to you. What are your hopes for the future and concerns with mac i absolutely hope that british farming continues as it does and it only gets better. My concern at the moment is probably just the marketing and pushing side of getting farmers or people into farming that arent necessarily from a farming background but we would just keep trying and hoping and educating the students that we have. Thanks you all forjoining ourfinal debate about the future of farming. Richard bower, emily duff, and duncan hawley. Thanks to you all, have a good evening.

The Great British bake offjudge monitoring the situation. The Great British bake off judge ruiz monitoring the situation. The Great British bake offjudge ruiz has been brought in as an adviser into the major government review of hospital food. Six people died this year after a outbreak of listeria. The review will set new quality standards of the hundred 40 million meals served every year for some or Health Correspondent Dominic Hughes reports. In england alone. The nhs produces around 140 million meals a year, so getting catering in hospitals right is clearly a challenge. For years, campaigners have argued the quality of hospital meals needs to be improved. Now, the bake 0ffjudge, restauranteur and chef, prue leith, is to advise whats being billed as a root and branch review of hospital catering. 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 . But other famous chefs have been down this road before. 25 years ago, albert roux was asked to do much the same thing. He was followed by loyd grossman, and, more recently, james martin was given a similar task. Yet in 2013, a report found that more than £50 million had been wasted not on poorfood, but on failed schemes to improve quality. Im a bit cynical. Weve seen different reviews over the last ten, 15 years, that have looked into improving hospital food and nothing really has happened. And we hear from patients every day, providing pictures of fairly disgusting food. The deaths of six nhs patients, linked to a listeria outbreak connected to pre packaged sandwiches and salads supplied to a number of hospitals, gives this review added weight. The quality of the meals is too variable, and so what we want to do is drive up standards across the board, and so we are having a review by philip shelley, he is going to be assisted from a culinary point of view by prue leith. Bringing more catering in house, using fresh and seasonal ingredients and sourcing produce locally all sounds good. Thats likely to mean costs go up, and thats the point where previous efforts to improve hospital food have come unstuck. Dominic hughes, bbc news. Tokyois tokyo is preparing to hold the 0lympic tokyo is preparing to hold the olympic and Paralympic Games next year and much of what will be the lipid park is still under construction. But the british paralytic Association Says it has heres concerns about the number of Accessible Hotel Rooms available for athletes, spectators, and the media. The city public governor says took your is short 300 suitable rooms that has pledged to adapt accommodation for those with disabilities. 0ur Disability Affairs correspondent nikki is in tokyo. Tokyos famous shibuya crossing. Its as crowded as the city itself, which will, next year, see thousands of athletes plus disabled spectators and media all arrive for the 2020 Paralympic Games. In the build up, many of the 4,500 paralympians will come here to train and to acclimatise. But during that time theres no fully accessible athletes village. They will have to stay in the city. You want to Stay Together as a team. Canadian born and now japanese citizen josh grisdale, who runs the website accessible japan, says thats a problem. There are really not enough rooms for people with disabilities. Right now there are only about 0. 4 of hotel rooms in japan are accessible. This is one of the busiest hotels in tokyo. It has more than 1,400 rooms butjust 13 are accessible. As it stands legally, a hotel this size is only required to have one accessible room. The law is changing to 1 for all new hotels, but the rooms themselves might not suit everyone. Only this space. Why is there a bath and not a shower . Its the japanese bathroom style. Yes, absolutely. That room was beautiful and beauty and accessibility dont always go hand in hand. Ive also never stayed in hotel with a height adjustable bed, so that was fancy. But that bathroom would be out of bounds for many wheelchair users. Theyll try but it would be difficult. This week, olympic and paralympic judo hopefuls have been getting used to their Training Facilities in tokyo. These are just a few of the more than 300 british athletes as well as support staff coming to japan ahead of the games. The paralympic Association Says they underestimated just how challenging it would be to find accessible accommodation. 0ur athletes are used to living independently and the last thing they want is to revert back to having to be helped in and out of a bath. Whats the situation like now with regards to Accessible Hotel Rooms . The tokyo government is giving subsidies to the Hotel Industry right now to arrange the rooms very free. So i hope people from all over the world can stay without problem. With a year to go, tokyo 2020 is on track. The organisers are hoping the problem with rooms will be sorted soon so that the focus can return to sporting achievement and changing attitudes. Nikki fox, bbc news, tokyo. Lets look at the weather.
