indigenous tribes are first settled here, it was the abundance of nature which provided it. it is quite surprising to think walking around the city back when it had its first non—native settlers in the 1850s, much of what we now know to be seattle was basicallyjust what we now know to be seattle was basically just forest. what we now know to be seattle was basicallyjust forest. a huge lumber industry started, but it isn't the only aspect of nature that drew people to settle here. seattle was built on the shores of the puget sound waters, and inlet from the pacific and part of the sailors see, from where local fishermen would bring in a catch the market. pike place

and arguably its biggest boom came about as a result of the natural world again which revolutionised the place with the gold rush. at the turn of the gold rush. at the turn of the 19th century the population in this place doubled injust ten years, as it billed itself as the gateway to the goldfields up north in canada and alaska. it's the biggest state in the union, bigger than texas and california combined. and just like those early gold prospectors, myjourney takes prospectors, my journey takes me 1000 prospectors, myjourney takes me 1000 miles north of seattle, to alaska's state capital juneau. but with just around 30,000 residents, it still feels like a town not vastly changed from its gold rush roots. i think it's coming now, is this him? i have come to

hey, i'mjulia with the catch up. tonight, big news for liverpool fc, bristol's new drugs scheme and yorkshire's baby miracle. but we'll start with liverpool managerjurgen klopp, who's calling it quits after nine years in charge. his win rate is higher than any other liverpool manager in history, and he even won the champions league in 2019 — but he says he is running out of energy. fans in liverpool are gobsmacked by the news. we won't ever have a champions league night at anfield with klopp ever again. ijust think that'sjust a bit sad, like how far we've come. it's hard, always difficult to see where we go from here. not just a manager. he's a man - for the city as well. he just brings. everything to the city, to the club. some other stories now. the un's top court has decided that israel doesn't have to stop the war in gaza,

but it must take all measures to prevent genocidal acts there. the un describes genocide is a crime committed to deliberately destroy a national, ethnic, racial or religious group. the uk's first regular drug checking service will open in bristol this weekend. people will be able to drop off illegal substances to be tested, and the goal is to reduce medical problems and overdoses. and two identical twins, amy and anna, were separated at birth, but they been reunited after amy posted this video on tiktok. they are two of thousands in georgia that were stolen and offered for adoption on the black market. and we'll leave you with ten seconds of baby leopard. yes, this is auckley. shejust made herfirst appearance at the yorkshire wildlife park. she is from a very rare and endangered species called amur leopards, and there are less than 100 of them in the wild. you're all caught up now. see you.

the weekend's weather is looking relatively quiet, certainly quieter than we started the week with all that stormy weather. still quite breezy with a few showers, particularly across parts of scotland. but for most of us, a dry weekend in store and things turning milder, particularly by the time we get to sunday. so to start off saturday, i think temperatures will be around about one or two degrees in the south and south—east of england. quite a chilly start here, a touch of frost, perhaps a few mist and fog patches around. they should clear away pretty quickly. windiest weather will be in the north and north—west. we could see gusts 60, even 70 miles an hour up towards the northern isles through saturday morning. some rain lingering mainly to the north of the great glen, i think for scotland, perhaps the odd, light spot of rain for northern ireland as well. but i think for southern scotland, england and wales we're looking at a dry day with some long spells of sunshine, areas of cloud drifting around, particularly towards the west, and highs around nine or ten degrees. into saturday evening then, it's again going to turn quite chilly in the south

and the east for a time with those lighter winds. but more cloud rolling in towards the west, could be the odd spot of drizzle coming out of this cloud as well. and it will be turning milder. belfast, plymouth, eight or nine degrees first thing sunday, but only round about three there in norwich. and through the day on sunday then, we've got a high pressure sitting out towards the near continent. this frontal system moving its way in from the atlantic that is going to draw in these southerly winds all the way from north africa. could be some dusty conditions in the skies as well as the mild air that we're going to be seeing. so things, i think, a little bit hazy with all that saharan dust around on sunday for some of us, some of it coming down in this rain that will arrive across northern ireland and western scotland later on in the afternoon. but a good deal of dry weather before that arrives, perhaps a little bit more cloud through parts of the midlands, south—west england as well. sunny spells either side of that and the top temperatures in the west up to around about 13 for the likes of glasgow and belfast. into monday, that frontal system has slipped its way a little bit further southwards and eastward, so it's likely

to bring some rain across much of northern england. i think wales perhaps down towards the far south—west, just across parts of scotland, it'll turn to snow for a time, perhaps over the highest ground of the southern uplands and to the north and the cooler air we're looking at single figures, seven or eight degrees, still not particularly cold, but 11i, possibly 15 in that warmer air down towards the south—east. so the week ahead still fairly unsettled in the north and west. showers at times, drier conditions further south and east. and for all of us, it's a mild week ahead.
