BBC World Service - BBC OS, Macron on Brexit: Terms can be tweaked

The French president says Brexit terms can be tweaked but not rewritten.

We'll hear about British Prime Minister's talks on Brexit with the French President in Paris. Boris Johnson was told by Emmanuel Macron that UK's vote to quit the EU must be respected but the Ireland-Northern Ireland backstop plan was "indispensable" to preserving political stability and the single market.

We look at the fires in the Amazon rainforest in Brazil and hear from people there. President Jair Bolsonaro has suggested the fires have been set by NGOs trying to embarrass his administration.

The BBC’s LGBT correspondent Ben Hunte talks about the stories he’s been covering since he started in the role in March, and about the hate he himself has received online.
