And coming up on bbc news the clock ticks at bury. The club will be expelled from the efl at midnight, unless a last minute deal can be struck to save it. Hello, good afternoon, welcome to the bbc news at one oclock. The Record Number of wildfires in the amazon rainforest has been described as an International Crisis by the french president Emmanuel Macron hes called for them to be top of the agenda at this weekends g7 summit. There have been 75,000 fires this year in the Worlds Largest rainforest, which is home to about 3 million species of plants and animals, and a million indigenous people. Brazils president Jair Bolsonaro has accused mr macron of using the issue for political gain. Naomi grimley has this report. As the flames raged, their majesty of the amazon rainforest is under threat more than ever before. These fires have been growing rapidly in number over the last year. Bit by bit, singeing away the lush vegetation. Climate campaigners are worried that brazils president , Jair Bolsonaro, is allowing small farm holders to start the fires in order to clear land without facing penalties. Translation actually, its Jair Bolsonaro who is responsible for what is happening in the amazon. He promotes policies that encourage environmental crime, which make culprits feel co mforta ble. Which make culprits feel comfortable. The queue for the french president Emmanuel Macron to put this right at the top of the agenda at the forthcoming g7 summit in france. In a tweet, he said. Our house is burning, literally. The amazon, the lungs which produce 20 of our planets oxygen is on fire. It is an International Crisis. Members of the g7 summit, lets discuss this emergency. But, that hasnt gone down well with president bolsonaro, who is not invited to the g7. He has accused Emmanuel Macron ofa g7. He has accused Emmanuel Macron of a misplaced colonialist mindset and he doesnt like the interference of climate charities either. 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. So, whats at sta ke riches under the soil. So, whats at stake behind this diplomatic row . Well, the amazon rain forest covers an estimated 2. 1 million square miles. That is about half the size of europe. According to the World Wide Fund for nature, it produces 20 of the worlds oxygen and freshwater. There has been an 85 increase in fires this year. The indigenous mirror tribe has been living here for generations and their leader is vowing to oppose president bolsonaros policies. Translation its destruction, plain and simple. For this forest, i will go on until my last drop of blood. Emmanuel macron is hoping that others will nowjoin that fight against deforestation. Whether they live in brazil or the other side of the world. Lets speak to Hugh Schofield who is in biarritz where the g7 summit will take place this weekend. Is Emmanuel Macron going to get what he wants, will it be high up on the agenda do you think . The official agenda do you think . The official agenda of these events is always written months in advance and teams of sherpas have been slaving over it for a very long time. But, every time there does tend to be one of these news events that creeps onto these news events that creeps onto the agenda and this is undoubtably one of those. It will be of course discussed at the weekend. At the talks here. President macron has also said he wants the whole g7 meeting to have a much looser structure. He feels its been slightly hijacked by what he calls manoeuvrings of international bureaucrats. He wants there to be much looser and freer torque between the leaders. I think for that reason also the item will get on the agenda. But also something that could form a consensus. We already had borisjohnson say he is com pletely had borisjohnson say he is completely in agreement with mr macron. Its very hard for anyone to argue that the burning of the amazon ra i nfo rest argue that the burning of the amazon ra i nforest is argue that the burning of the amazon rainforest is a good thing and it may be the calculation is on this subject even President Donald Trump will come on board. We will see this weekend, thank you for now. And if you want to read more about the extent of the fires, theres Background Information on our website bbc. Co. Uk news.

The transport company, eddie stobart, has suspended trading in its shares, and announced that its chief executive will stand down with immediate effect. Last month, the firm, known for its green and red lorries, revealed a £2 million discrepancy in its accounts. Our economics correspondent andy verity is with me. A very recognisable brand and lots of us know it . You see them on the motorway, the big green trucks with red edges with personal names like dolly or tammy. That is their distinctive style. They transport goods from pepsi to walkers crisps but eddie stowe but logistics is in a bit of trouble according to the announcement we had this morning. What they have done is suspended their shares, so they cant be bought and sold, after an accounting review. Their chief executive is standing down with immediate effect and they are saying they are looking at the recoverability of certain receivables, which is jargon for whether they will get the money they expected to and whether certain provisions should or should not have been made. They cannot tell yet how that will affect their earnings but it is going to be, quite likely they will be significantly lower than anticipated a month ago. And some involvement here by neil woodford, and name some people will be familiar with as well . Thats right. People should distinguish this company from stoba rt people should distinguish this company from stobart group, which was split off from the other company a while ago. What they have in common is their shareholders, which ran intoa common is their shareholders, which ran into a bit of trouble a few months ago because so many people wa nted months ago because so many people wanted to take their money out of the firm because they had lost confidence in how well they were managing their money, that they couldnt any longer afford to pay them. So they didnt have enough cash. What happened, they froze the funds and since then the celebrity funds and since then the celebrity fund manager who runs it, neil woodford, has been busy selling of sta kes woodford, has been busy selling of stakes in some of his biggest investments to get the cash to pay people their money back. This wont be welcome news because if the shares are suspended, there is no way he can sell the shares and they are worth roughly half what they we re are worth roughly half what they were a year ago. 0k andy, thank you.

Time is ticking to save Bury Football Club from being expelled by the english league. The shakers have until midnight to prove they can pay off debts and have the necessary funding to make it through the league one season. Theyve already had six matches postponed this season because of financial problems. Our Sports Correspondent john watson reports. After 134 years of history, bury face a desperate fight for theirfuture. They have until midnight tonight to prove the club has the funds to continue, or they must find a buyer. Or for these fans, the unthinkable could become a reality. Ijust think its one big shame. That we are going to lose a lovely club. A community club. It always is the fans, especially with this owner and he has one agenda, sell. And i dont think hes bought it as a football club. I dont think he had any interest in the football. Owner steve dale but the club for £1 back in december. But despite the club winning promotion from league 2 last season, there are rumours of bills going unpaid. Since then the club have been docked 12 points and been prevented from playing by the efl forfailing to provide proof of funds. Today, dale called on fans to step in. Weve gone to the public and weve said to them, look, we dont need this money, but if you want to save the football club, make a pledge. Once were up to the amount that the efl say that we need, with projections, then we can go back to them and say, right, its nothing to do with me, there you go, theres 2 million, 3 million, whatever it is, from genuine people what will pledge to the club this money, so what can you boot the club out for, now . Protests continued at the club this week, with fans frustrated at the Football League for allowing decembers takeover to go ahead. Something the league say will be looked at. We need to sit back and look at it and understand how we got in this situation, and make sure this doesnt happen again, 100 . For a club with such a proud history, an uncertain afternoon lies ahead, with the clock now counting down to tonights deadline. And lets speak to our Sports Correspondentjohn watson in bury. Is there any chance the deadline might be extended . The english Football League has said they would consider extending the deadline for perhaps 2a, 48 hours consider extending the deadline for perhaps 24, 48 hours if a viable deal, take a bow was in the offing. Noidea deal, take a bow was in the offing. No idea whether that is the case at this stage. They had said that a longer extension simply isnt viable, with five League Matches already postponed, they cannot risk postponing any more. The integrity of the league is at stake. Of course, bury fans will be hopeful that a deal can be struck at this stage although steve dales please on the radio this morning will not fill them with much hope. We hear so much about the riches and money on offer in the premier league, but certainly for bury and their league 1 neighbours when they find themselves in administration, it is a stark reminder of the dangers of living outside your means. The Great British bake offjudge, prue leith, has been brought in as an adviser on a major government review into the quality of hospitalfood in england. Six people died earlier this year after an outbreak of listeria linked to pre packaged sandwiches and salads. The review will set new quality standards for the 140 million meals served every year in hospitals. Our 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 offjudge, 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. 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. The time is 1 18. Our top story this lunchtime french president Emmanuel Macron calls for the fires in the amazon rainforest to be discussed at this weekends g7 summit. Borisjohnson says britain is also deeply concerned. And coming up, a year until the paralympics in tokyo, but how accessible is the city to those with disabilities . Coming up on bbc news another batting collapse for england, losing three wickets in quick succession, including captain joe root, on the second day of the third ashes test at headingley. Farming is one of the uks biggest and most important industries, but its an ageing one. The average owner is 60, and most farms are passed to the next generation within families. Now the National Federation of Young Farmers clubs says more needs to be done to bring new workers into the industry. Gareth barlow has been looking at the challenges. Cattle lowing farming can be a tough business, not just battling against the weather, but also working long hours and trading in a challenging market. But life in the open air, working with animals and growing food for a living, is a dream for many. We do get to live in a beautiful part of the world and do what we enjoy. David and becca are beef farmers in cumbria. Neither of them come from a farming background, and it was their initial lack of finance and farmland that were the biggest hurdles to overcome. We actually sat down with the bank a couple of times and. They literally laughed at us, didnt they . Theyjust didnt get it. We were out there competing with people whod been farming all their lives, people who had quite a lot of money and they could just go out and borrow a bit more to take on more land or anotherfarm. Shes going to be a beautiful colour. So the pair got creative. They lived in a yurt for years and even crowd funded their cattle, all to get where they are today running their own farm. Their story is one of the more extreme examples of getting into agriculture. The National Federation of Young Farmers clubs says the industrys future depends not just on innovation, but also on more opportunities within biggerfarm businesses. We need new, excited young blood coming in, working as part of a business and as they progress, progressing through the business structure, and there are opportunities for those people with their knowledge and experience who want to take on their own unit. Tom rawson milks 2,500 cattle on six farms across the uk. He says if the industry doesnt welcome new workers, farming will falter. We need people right across the spectrum. We dont want everybody to retire on the same day. Likewise, we dont want everybody thats inexperienced. Its a really good career for an awful lot of people. That calf over there, we need to go get that one and bring that one back in here. Jessica is 22. She traded a life pulling pints for a job on a dairy farm. Its life changing. I wouldnt ever change my life now. Just so much motivation for the job and its probably the best thing ive ever done. And thats the message farmers are keen to promote that the uks farmland is notjust pretty but a Perfect Place to work. Gareth barlow, bbc news. For more go to our website. Thats at bbc. Co.

Congestion is expected to build until 6 30 this evening as millions take to the roads to take advantage of temperatures that could reach 33 celsius. Rail travellers have also been warned to expect delays, with the closure of london kings cross and reduced services on parts of the rail network. Thousands of accountants have become the latest group to hold a pro democracy rally in hong kong. A human chain is also being formed across hong kong island. The protests started earlier this year over over a proposed extradition bill and have now extended into calls for democratic reform. Google has shut down more than 200 Youtube Channels it says were part of a coordinated campaign against the pro democracy protesters in hong kong. Stephen mcdonnell is in hong kong. How would you describe the mood and these continuing protests . Based on an action across the Baltic States during the soviet period these pro democracy activists are forming what they call a human chain. The idea is on both sides of the harbour to form these long lines that you can see, hand in hand, as they make the chain and to draw global attention to their pro democracy cause using peaceful means like this. There has been a lot of attention to those running street battles we saw. The idea is to try and get the protest movement back onto a more peaceful sort of Hong Kong Style protest as they put it. The leader of Hong Kong Carrie lam has promised some dialogue. We dont know what that is going to mean. Lots of people here are sceptical about this promised dialogue with the leader of hong kong so it remains to be seen whether that will bring about some sort of change. Given that the government in hong kong and in beijing is not adhering to any of the demands of the protesters including the full withdrawal of this extradition bill and even an inquiry into the police, they are bracing for potentially more street violence over the weekend, as these protests on thought. Some have been given approval, some not, and we have those unapproved protests in the past, and that has led to violence. The russian opposition leader, alexei navalny, has been released from 30 days detention in moscow, during which he said he had been poisoned. The critic of the kremlin was jailed last month after calling for people to protest about the exclusion of opposition candidates from local elections in moscow. Alexei navalny accused the russian government of using terror tactics, and said the movement against president Vladimir Putin would only grow. Now the cricket. Its been a disastrous start to the day for englands batsmen in the third ashes test at headingly. A top order collapse means theyre currently 54 6 at lunch. Andy swiss is there for us. Yes, welcome to headingley. And a day which had promised so much for england. They were in a strong position after bowling out australia yesterday, but instead they have had an utter nightmare. A horrible batting collapse, even by their standards, and it is australia now firmly in control. Sunshine over headingley, and englands fans arrived with a spring in their step. Perfect conditions for batting, it seemed, so could the hosts make the most of them . Well, notjudging by this. As australia soon struck. Another failure forjason roy, gone for nine, as his ashes woes continued. Moments later, an action replay. A second catch for david warner and a duck forjoe root. England already in deep trouble. It could have been even deeper. Joe denly given out leg before, only for it to be overturned, as replays showed the ball was missing. But any relief didnt last long. Rory burns next to go. England 20 3. That early optimism vanishing before their eyes. Surely it couldnt get any worse . Oh, yes, it could as ben stokesjoined the painful procession. In a situation which called for restraint, the less said about his wild swish the better. Englands batting in total meltdown. Could someone, anyone, stick around . Apparently not. Denly the next to go. By the time Jonny Bairstow followed him england were in tatters. A stunning morning for australia. A quite desperate one for the hosts. Yes, england at lunch 54 6. A quite awful morning for them. Remember if they lose this match, their hopes of winning back the ashes are over, so they need Something Special and quickly, jane. Thank you, andy swiss at headingley. Sunday marks one year to go to the opening of the Paralympic Games in tokyo. More than 4,000 athletes will be competing over 12 days so just how accessible is the city, both for competitors and spectators . Our disability correspondent, nikki fox, in a years time, this city will be hosting the Paralympic Games, so not only will we see 4,000 odd athletes arriving with all kinds of disabilities, therell also be disabled media, spectators. Josh josh has lived here for 12 years. Hes now a japanese citizen and runs the website accessible japan, so who better to give me a tour . Watashiwa nikki desu. Oh, hajimemashite, josh. Irasshaimase. Ive lost you now. Its really busy, isnt it . Yeah, it can be a bit difficult, especially during rush hour but if you avoid those peak times, its still pretty easy to get around. Right, go on, ive always wanted to try this crossing. This is the famous crossing, isnt it . Yeah, this is the shibuya scramble. Josh, were going to die come on, josh. I did wonder whether id survive the crossing is there anything you think i will have a problem with when im here . Yeah, theres a couple of issues, i think. Definitely hotels is one of the big ones. Right now, there are only about 0. 4 of the hotel rooms in japan are accessible. Restaurants, traditionally a lot of restaurants will have a step into them. It sort of divides the house from the outside area, and its sort of an important cultural part of japan, but its a big barrier for people with disabilities. Yeah. I usually only use public transportation. The buses and subways are over 90 accessible. So, weve arrived at the station. Oh, is that station . 0k. Is that the lift you would use . Yeah. You just tell them where you want to go and they will put a slope down for you. When you get to your destination, theres someone waiting for you. If it was like that in london, i wouldnt drive everywhere. Ive always wanted to live injapan and come tojapan. I think with paralympics coming, its going to be a real opportunity for tokyo to learn. You must absolutely love it here. Oh, yeah, forsure, yeah time for a look at the weather. Heres stav da naos. It is hotting up as we head into the weekend and for many it is a Bank Holiday Weekend as well. You can see sunny skies over the continent. That will be heading our way, pushing west and slowly north
