11:32 pm
hello. this is bbc news with samantha simmonds. we'll be taking a look at tomorrow mornings papers in a moment — first the headlines. international dismay as the amazon rainforest burns. on the ground, the battle to stop the fires continue. low humidity and strong wind adds to the challenge as sometimes the fire can spread as fast 30 or a0 kilometres an hour. a minute's silence for pc andrew harper — who died in the line of duty. tributes to the thames valley officer who'd been married just 4 weeks when he died. president trump vows to retaliate after china announces plans to escalate the trade war. a possible reprieve for bury. its owner says he's accepted a takeover bid, just hours before the deadline which could have seen the club expelled from
11:33 pm
the english football league. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are olivia utley who's deputy editor of the news website the article — and the guardian columnist dawn foster. many of tomorrow's front pages are already in. world leaders are to hold emergency talks this weekend on the wildfires engulfing the amazon rainforest — that's on the front page of the guardian. the ‘i' leads with the prime minister boris johnson calling on action from the g7 members to tackle the amazon fires. borisjohnson will lay down his red lines for a post—brexit trade agreement with america when he meets the president at the g7 this weekend, that's according to the telegraph. on the same story, the times says borisjohnson will tell donald trump
11:34 pm
that a post—brexit deal with the us must be "right" for britain, and will warn that the nhs will not be on the table in any circumstances. women have been forced into buying hormone replacement therapy from abroad as it has become almost impossible to get in parts of the uk, that's according to the mail. chief constables will hold a crisis meeting next month after an alarming rise in violence against members of the police force says the express. the mirror reports on more allegations surrounding prince andrew. and the sun also gives its take on the prince andrew story. let's start with the daily telegraph. boris johnson to let's start with the daily telegraph. borisjohnson to lay down a red line in talks. what is your ta ke a red line in talks. what is your take on those redlines? boris johnson has said that he is going to turn to mrtrump johnson has said that he is going to turn to mr trump and say that the nhs is off the table and will not be
11:35 pm
touched but also talking about animal welfare and that will address many concerns that people have about chlorinated chicken and animal welfare basically meaning that we have, you know, properly safe food so have, you know, properly safe food so that leaving the eu does not mean we leave behind safety measures that affect our food. the we leave behind safety measures that affect ourfood. the nhs is something we all old quite dearly and there are fears about what that means but again many people will be concerned about the fact that when he talks about redlines, boris johnson may give the impression of repeating history. theresa may's redlines down her entirely and saw the end of her reign in downing street. so he can go ahead and tell donald trump that he will not cross this but, again, he may then end up appetising more than he hopes.” agree with dawn. in the use of the phrase redlines. it is a bit strange and we know where that leads. but it
11:36 pm
is interesting, particularly, that he focuses on animal welfare here as many people... that is something that people are really quite worried about at the moment. and as well as the chlorinated chicken. about at the moment. and as well as the chlorinated chickenli about at the moment. and as well as the chlorinated chicken. i don't understand why chlorinated chicken was such an issue. i thought and i think many people i spoke to thought the same, thought it was an issue because remain as were saying that we would be people who consume chlorinated chicken. the reason why people are opposed is because the chickens in the us are treated in appalling conditions and they have to be chlorinated to be safe for human consumption because they are boxed up so closely together. i think it is good that borisjohnson is properly intervening on this and i think he will stake —— stick to that. he does have a force that theresa may never did and i trust him a little more on the redlines.
11:37 pm
interesting that the nhs is not on the table. a few months ago donald trump was tweeting about a deal involving the nhs and it was unclear whether the importing some sort of us system to the uk, some us healthcare system us system to the uk, some us healthca re system to us system to the uk, some us healthcare system to the uk or whether that was about supply chains and the uk would be purchasing drugs from the us. so it is interesting that boris has set a firm redline there because many conservatives would think that there is an argument for the uk buying in drugs from the us and doesn't counter the nhs being on the table? they are firm redlines and interesting to pick. the article also talks about borisjohnson pick. the article also talks about boris johnson and pick. the article also talks about borisjohnson and potential meeting with donald tusk saying he will urge him to reopen talks. that is not the message he has gotten from the past few days from angela merkel and emmanuel macron, they do not wish to reopen talks. this is another strong line. absolutely. and its does not seem that much has changed. the
11:38 pm
number 10 may have changed but the attitudes of the eu have not changed attitudes of the eu have not changed at all. and one of the reasons the backstop is in play is because many people sat around a table and they looked at how ireland functions and they looked at how the eu functions and how britain wishes to function after leaving a decided that this was the best possible way forward. so unless borisjohnson can come up with a brand—new idea that is better than the backstop that protects the rights of people as well as the free movement of goods and the worries about tariffs, it simply will not reopen. let's talk more about donald trump and boris johnson reopen. let's talk more about donald trump and borisjohnson and their meeting at the g7, the first face—to—face since boris became prime minister. the times inside has an analysis talking about how many times i have spoken since he became prime minister. it is quite staggering. breakfast time on sunday
11:39 pm
morning he will have spoken to donald trump on the phone more than theresa may did in her entire time as prime minister which quite as an impressive statistic. again, a tricky position for boris to be in. he wants to foster a relationship for donald trump that is important for donald trump that is important for britain to have, a close relationship with the us. on the other hand, jeremy corbyn's momentum and labour's attack on boris, their favourite line of attack is that boris is the british donald trump which is incredibly damning. donald trump said that himself. it is a very good attack line from jeremy corbyn because donald trump is unbelievably unpopular in the uk and tarring him with the trump brush, it really works. so boris needs to tread a line of fostering a relationship and showing that he is willing to work with donald trump but on the other hand you cannot be
11:40 pm
too willing to work with him because he will be crushed at the ballot. and given the opposition that there was from a vocal sector of society when he had a state visit a few months ago he must be careful about how this relationship with donald trump affect his own popularity. absolutely. it is quite risky. it remains to be seen whether or not borisjohnson, like theresa may, will hold hands with donald trump but even if he does spend a lot of time talking to him, a, he almost certainly takes a hit on boris's own popularity but also if donald trump then turns around and says no, we cannot have that all you have been intractable or you will not leave the nhs open for business and therefore you are out of here, that is lose— lose. therefore you are out of here, that is lose- lose. on the other hand, donald trump does have a lot to gain here by having a good relationship with boris. he is failing so badly in iran at the moment and he his
11:41 pm
diplomatic record has not been great. if he could build a good relationship with boris it will look good for him as well. they both have something to gain here but, as we know, you cannot predict anything. there were lines of the table about a run in the nuclear deal. that appears to have gone by the wayside. a lot will come out of the g7 summit this weekend. moving on now to the guardian and this dramatic front page picture here of the fires raging across the amazon on in rozelle and just how devastating the world is woken up to this in the past few days and it could now be top of the agenda at the g7. past few days and it could now be top of the agenda at the 67m seems to boil down to a question of how should world leaders, european leaders react. should they try to work with bolsonaro, a conservative right wing president, or should they ta ke right wing president, or should they take a hard line, harder than they ta ke take a hard line, harder than they take at the moment. at the moment they are raising a question of how to respond to this when you have
11:42 pm
this sort of a leader in brazil. france and ireland have said that they will block a free trade agreement unless bolsonaro ats. it is undeniable according to experts, that this does land on his doorstep. the deforestation that bolsonaro talked about, a, when he was trying to get elected but also sends, that has been to blame. was trying to get elected but also sends, that has been to blamelj agree with that. and from an ideological perspective, yes. from a primate term —— from a pragmatic term, what is the best way to move forward 7 term, what is the best way to move forward? the summit will be interesting and emmanuel macron wa nts interesting and emmanuel macron wants this at the top of the summit. again, the big problem is that unlike most things, the clock is ticking far faster on this than on anything else. experts say that unless something happens in the next 48, 72 hours then unless something happens in the next 48,72 hours then there is no coming
11:43 pm
back from the others on. the amazon is responsible for 20% of the global air. it is a horrific situation. also what is concerning many people is that bolsonaro has said, look, a, this is not my problem, b even if it we re this is not my problem, b even if it were my problem, i do not have the resources to deal with it. it raises the point that the g7 office can threaten pulling out of trade deals but, actually, firm action is needed so you wonder what kind of possible scenarios they could come up with to try and help here. again, we will see and there is a lot to come this weekend. let's look at this story. on the times, not actually a story as much, it is a sidebar. the 12 favourite vegan recipes. this is about the rise and rise of vegan isms. now it seems as if
11:44 pm
there is an unstoppable rise in vegan isms. the times, on the front page, are talking about vegan recipes. and even more conservative times readers say they are going for it. and some company has announced today that their profits have boomed due to a vigor and sausage roll and i'm sure their advertising team were thrilled, but they are now moving in an effort to use profits even more to create a vigor inversion of every one of their best sellers. they are close on a vegan doughnut, apparently, and they are looking at apparently, and they are looking at a vigor and steak. the times is going for it, greg is... they are doing this because this is what the people want. it is funny to see. there are some conservative anti— vigo and sue hate the company for reneging on their principles or
11:45 pm
something by selling vigor and food. —— vegan food. the figures are still pretty low a nd —— vegan food. the figures are still pretty low and the rest of the country compared to london. so you are not a total vegan? no, country compared to london. so you are not a totalvegan? no, i am not. maybe you will be convinced when a vigor and steak arrives. let's have a look —— when a vegan steak. soaring crime against police co nsta bles. soaring crime against police constables. an alarming rise in violence against the police after the tragic death last week of pc andrew harper, killed trying to stop a robbery. often obviously there will be more ideas coming out but there was one very senior police constable today on radio. but also talking on
11:46 pm
twitter. trying to encourage the public if they saw police officers in trouble, to try and stop it from escalating. i'm not convinced it is a safe idea. also the first time, we can argue about heroes bit of a police officer is trying to stop a crime, they are professionals, they understand how to defuse situations. the public much more likely to get hurt. also, i had that advice as well but i've also had opposite advice from other people higher up in the police. sometimes i think these emergency summits are a way of showing the issues being taken seriously but i think this one is urgent and important, the people sit down and hire people and the police can talk about this and decide what is the way forward to combat rising
11:47 pm
police violence because it is a massive issue and there are no clear guidelines. it is all over britain as well. people claiming it'sjust a london issue, or a knife crime issue, it's all over the country. there is a lot of knife crime in london at the moment. we are seeing more and more violence and part of it is because increasingly police office rs it is because increasingly police officers are having to act alone because there are lower numbers but also in northern ireland, increasing attacks on police, often involving devices, police getting targeted. there is rising crime everywhere. there is rising crime everywhere. there are increasing threats to police constables. also, increasing threats to us because there is a rise in violence. prosecutions of violence are going down as well which is terrifying. not quite sure why. we will see what comes out of that summit. the front page of the
11:48 pm
daily mail. hrt crisis as patches run out on the high street. it seemed to be there is some sort of supply chain issues somewhere down the line. it's not the problem might extend to china. thousands of women in huge pockets of the country are unable to in huge pockets of the country are u na ble to access in huge pockets of the country are unable to access hrt treatment in the uk and are having to go abroad for it. it doesn't seem to be anything to do with brexit although in spain, a lot of people seem to be going to spain. there clearly isn't a problem there. it seems to be there is some supply chain problem and a knock—on effect. thatjust exacerbates the problem. it's having terrifying effect. there are huge problems the many people with accessing drugs. . the epilepsy
11:49 pm
society have a regular list they update daily with a talk about which pills this week for instance are running low. there are lots of problems with all paraphernalia associated with diabetes. it's a lot easier for me to get my epilepsy tablets and parts of london but i have friends who can't get hold of things like medication used for very heavy periods in the problem is the nhs side desperately trying to get hold of enough drugs, make sure they have a stockpile for a couple of months. like an ideal brexit, they've already been told to stop pile. but there are risks of a factory catches fire, all sorts of problems. they desperately trying to stop pile too much. these things
11:50 pm
fluctuate too much. if you need to fly to spain for hrt, good for you. but what about the majority of people who can't afford it? this lady said she was actually on holiday and the pharmacy which didn't have the exact brand. if the shortages continue. thank you for taking us through. don't forget, you considerfront pages of taking us through. don't forget, you consider front pages of the papers on line on the bbc news website. it's all there for you — 7 days a week at bbc.co.uk/papers. and if you miss the programme any evening you can watch it later on bbc iplayer. thank you olivia and dawn.
11:51 pm
from us all, goodbye and goodnight. good evening. i'm ben croucher with your latest from the bbc sport centre. the owner of bury football club has told the bbc this evening that the club have been sold. for weeks now, uncertainty has surrounded their future, they've had to postponed all their matches this season with the football league seeking assurances over their financial stability. bbc radio manchester's mike minay has more. steve dale has told me that the club has been sold at the 11th hour. bury was in potential of being lost, a clu b was in potential of being lost, a club that is so vital to the community. steve dale has texted me saying it's been sold and his agreed a deal with a company called cnn
11:52 pm
analytics, a football analytics company headed by henry newman and rory campbell and this deal, they agreed in principle, relies solely on the esl agreeing to an extension on the esl agreeing to an extension on the esl agreeing to an extension on the deadline to get it done. aston villa picked up their first points of the season and their first win in the premier league since february 2016. they beat everton 2—nil this evening as nick parrott report. so far this season, aston villa have failed to deliver. this was a plea heard by those watching on tv and the players on the pitch. despite everton dominating the opening 20 minutes, the home side survived a penalty claim before answering the call. wesley became villa's record signing in the summer. this was the start of his payback and the brazilian could have got his second for the club. a win for everton would see them leapfrog local rivals liverpool to go to the top of the
11:53 pm
premier league for the first time in 12 years but with shots like that and passes like this, it didn't look likely. the manager with work to do. his tactical changes and substitutions didn't pay off, though. alex soave had his chance after his transfer from muscle, as did theo walcott. villa's first points were secured for the season, leaving everton to wonder where they went wrong. x mac arsenal. —— arsenal. england will be needing saturday to go a lot better than friday if they are to have any hope of regaining the ashes. they crumbled to 67 all out on the second day of the third test in leeds — and trail australia by 283 runs. watching another english batting failure at headingley was andy swiss. well, was this the day that england's hopes of regaining the ashes finally slipped away? they'd
11:54 pm
arrived here with such high hopes after an impressive performance on the first day but instead, what a nightmare batting display they provided. jason roy was the first man out, quickly followed by the captain,joe man out, quickly followed by the captain, joe root, for a duck and from there, that wickets tumbled. joe denley, the only man to make it into double figures, he top scored with just 12. yes, into double figures, he top scored withjust 12. yes, australia bowled very well, particularlyjosh hazelwood who took five wickets but there was some pretty dire england batting shots in there as well. all out for just batting shots in there as well. all out forjust 67, their worst average total since 1948. it really let them a mountain to climb. to their credit, their bowlers did make some inroads. david warner was out for a duck. an unbeaten half century the labuschagne, taking australia's lead
11:55 pm
to 123 for the close. if england lose this match, their hopes of regaining the ashes are over. we have seen a few miracles here at headingley over the years. people will think back to 1981 and famously ian both in bob willis guided england to an unlikely bit three. they are going to need something similar now if they are to keep their hopes of regaining the ashes alive. plenty more on the website including details of golf‘s fedex cup and a crushing defeat for england's hockey players. that's all from now. from me and the team — have a great weekend. friday was the hottest day of august so far but it could be a record raking bank holiday weekend. most places remain hot and sunny but the risk of one or two showers. not only are we drawing in the heat from the near continent around that high pressure, also increasing humidity and in the north—west, an area of low pressure and that when the front is hanging around. quite breezy near that overnight. winds dropping by
