on travellers from seven mainly—muslim countries. president trump said the judge who suspended his executive order was undermining homeland security — he also said "had and dangerous people" could be entering the united states. the romanian government has withdrawn a draft decree which would have reduced some penalties for corruption following days of huge protests. the prime minister, said that he did not want to divide the country. demonstrators said they would continue the protests until the decree was actually repealed. france's presidential candidates have set out their plans. emmanuel macron, said he wanted to strengthen the relations with germany and boost defence spending. marine le pen has promised to leave the eurozone and hold a referendum labour is calling for a change in the law to stop energy companies putting up their prices.

the shadow chancellorjohn mcdonnell said legislation was needed to end years of excessive profits. it follows widespread criticism of npower — who have announced price rises of up to 15% for some customers. our political correspondent iain watson reports. labour has not exactly been cooking with gas in the opinion polls, but, with npower increasing some of its energy prices by 9%, the party sees an opportunity to appeal to people struggling to get by. people's wages have largely been frozen since 2007—2008 in the economic crash. since then that inflation has began to hit them as i know they are being hit by massive increases in energy prices. it is unacceptable, so in the short and we will have a cap and introduce legislation to do that. the competition and markets authority last year poured cold water on the idea of price caps, but labour say this will be a temporary measure until the market is reformed. and haven't we been here before? the next labour government will freeze gas and electricity prices until the start of 2017.

ed miliband's pledge to freeze energy prices was popular at first, but didn't win labour an election. immediately after the last election, labour's former policy chief said the party had been reduced to what he described as "small—scale bribes", in other words simply giving consumers money off their energy bills wasn't enough to convince them labour could be trusted with the wider economy. government maintains it is prepared to do more for consumers. they say... in the meantime, the government says that customers should be prepared to switch between an average —— energy providers. all the back with the latest headlines at the top of the hour.

--i will headlines at the top of the hour. ——i will be back. ade is in london to find out why so many nightclubs are closing down. bingo. i'm it kind of looks like a spare part that has fallen off a stormtrooper. and tommy plays around with the latest in travel gadgets. for many, london is a dream destination. it is a city steeped in a rich history and maybe that is why it's the most visited city in europe. but is it still top when it comes to it's nightlife? in the last five years, an estimated a0 club venues have closed their doors in london and that has got promoters worried. some of the most iconic nightspots have simply gone. so, is london even up there any more when it comes to number one clubbing destinations worldwide? i would describe as the most diverse clubbing scene in the world, as opposed to the leading

or the best. i think the reason for that is you have other cities in the world, for example, berlin, where clubbing is supported by the local authorities a little bit more positively, you could say the same for amsterdam as well. however, saying that, there is still a very strong dance music scene in london. ministry of sound is celebrating 25 years. i can't believe it. i came here in the early days. this place started off as a small club in a derelict garage and it has since become a massive global brand. in fact, at one stage, it owned the biggest independent record label in the world, selling over 70 million records. hey! ministry of sound was london's first ever super club. it has survived a number of attempts to shut it down. justin berkman is one of the founders. he is also one of its resident djs. i am in good hands with this dj lesson. you have got your volume controls

here, you have got your highs, mids and lows, your base knob. give it a little bit of sibilance. strip that out, bring that down. with the technology today, it gives you much more flexibility to take risks and do things you could not deal in the old days with vinyl. could you put a classic opera track with some hip—hop? yes. beethoven wrote most of his music in 120 bpm. he was one of the first house djs. he knew what he was talking about, he dropped beats. a lot of his stuff was dance music speed. all right, let's do this then. one, two, three, four. two, two, three, four. bingo. i'm

now time to see if all that training has worked. it is the moment of truth. i tell you what i will say, it is very loud in here. i am in a dj box with gavin mitchell, he is the resident dj and promoter for the gallery, which takes place every friday night at the club. now, fortunately, it is still early, so the pressure is off a little bit and i am getting the hang of things. by the end of the night, i've got the house rocking. ministry of sound almost closed following the development of a 41 story tower of flats just yards from the entrance. but thanks to the power of the ministry brand and its finances, the club has been saved to rave another day. i think all clubs have their nemesis moment where there comes something and its finances, the club has been saved to rave another day. i think all clubs have their nemesis moment where there comes something along that wants to close it.

it is usually residents and it is the balance between a city and the fact that it needs some form of entertainment. you cannot have one without the other, because a city full of bedrooms is no fun. you have to have nightclubs, you have to have restaurants, you have to have bars, you have to have entertainments. last year, fabric nightclub, one of the biggest in london, was forced to shut down. it was stripped of its licence and faced permanent closure after the drug—related deaths of two teenagers. it has since reopened after the local council agreed to strict new licensing conditions, including an over 19s policy and id scanners at the entry to the venue. when fabric was temporarily closed, a lot of people saw that

as a very worrying sign. it looked like the authorities were not classifying dance music and nightlife culture as something of a priority. when they changed their mind following the public response, not only did it show how important this culture is to people, it also showed that the authorities are actually beginning to take that seriously. fabric‘s survival has been seen as a boost to the london clubbing scene and while development isn't the only factor why so many clubs are closing down, there are other things to contend with, like lifestyle changes, high entry prices, inflated costs of drinks inside nightclubs and early closing times. but one london underground club is aiming to diversify its brand. the boiler room are turning to technology by creating the first virtual reality nightclub. this is the oculus rift. kevin molloy is from a company called inception vr. they are one of only a few companies in the capital at the forefront of virtual reality content. he is bringing club nights to your living room war, or in my case, an office in north london.

going to one of these super clubs in ibiza is something that maybe you get to do on an occasional holiday, but it is not something anyone can just do at any moment. we identified it as one of the places where it could be great if you could go there even when you weren't able. if we can take people and put them in the middle of amnesia in ibiza, in the middle of a dj set and have them experience what that is like... sally from basingstoke can end up going to amnesia and having it large in herfront room. absolutely, that is the plan. i will put this on. the way it works, you put on a vr headset and, depending on how good it is, your brain will be tricked into believing you are in a 3—d world. there are loads of things floating in front of me. now, i'm told it is all about the stereoscopic display, which is ultimately 360 degree

views, which allows you to move left, right, up or down, as if you were there. iam in ibiza now, ithink. it feels that you can touch... oh yes. right now, i am in a club on the beach in ibiza. i am loving this. she's am dancing with spaceships in the air. ah!!! i love this. it's too freaky, it's too freaky. that is such a bizarre experience. you really feel like you're there and ibiza has changed. since when has there been aliens in ibiza. the question is, can virtual reality clubbing be something that will ever overtake the real clubbing experience? everything has got these potential positives and negatives. if you look injapan, there are hundreds of thousands of kids living at home, never gone out of the house, because they can experience life from their computer. that is the first step toward the matrix. it is both a good thing and a bad thing. ade exploring the changing face

of the london club scene. here is a rundown of some other great clubbing destinations around the world. green valley is a brazilian clubbing landmark. the south american mega— club in santa catarina has come a long way since its early days when it started life as a rave tent. fit-354 9 geezig; —a—~~5"; £22; ibiza has been tang—knew. holiday hotspots for partygoers. amnesia is perhaps the most famous venue on the island, founded back in the 70s

on the site of an old farm, the historic venue hasn't lost any of its magic. finally, on the other side of the world, to the gangnam district in seoul, where 0ctagon has gained a reputation as the place to party in south korea. this nightclub is now pulling big name international djs and fashionable millenials with its upfront house vibe. next up on the travel show, we are trying a delicacy found in the finest of restaurants. native oysters from the british isles are some of the best in the world. we have tracked down where many of them come from, galway bay on the west coast of ireland. this is the heart of the oyster bed. the wild oysters here, you see them

here, the native flat oyster, they have come from the wild oyster fishery out here. there are 800 acres of wild oyster fishery. the fishermen go out there in the winter months, november and december and fish them off the beds. we buy them and we put them in our own bed here, where they develop their own unique flavour and they get that from the fresh water coming in from the fields of athenry and we have the burren to the south and we have connemara to the north, so you have wonderful textures and flavours in the oysters when they develop. so, these oysters, we are taking them up and they will be brought over to the packing shed where they will be sorted and graded and packed into the baskets and they are heading off to london.

in 36 hours they will be on restaurant tables over there. you really have very fresh, good quality from the west of ireland. some people like to eat them, they love to put a drop of tabasco or a squeeze of lemon or a crack of black pepper or even horseradish and tomato sauce, but because they are so good here and the flavours are so good, we just eat them naturally. squeeze the knife in here, we pop the shell and we slide it back and cut the muscle to release the top shell. there we have a beautiful native wild flat oyster from galway bay. take a nice smell and savour the flavour and the taste and a sip of thejuice. slide it in. delicious. plus, tommy tries on some

of the latest travel must haves with his global gadgets. so, stick with us. tommy here with your global gadgets round—up and today we are in hertfordshire at the snow centre just outside london. people often ask me, tommy, what have you done for me recently? what have you done for me? i tell you what i am about to do, i am about to potentially

save your life with this. enter the enter the mammut ultralight, with its removable airbag system in a backpack. without the air canister, this pack is nearly race weight and it comes in under two kilograms when all topped up, this means you might not have the sacrifice much speed for the additional avalanche safety. the compressed air system is the third model mammut have made and they say it is a proven design that has been credited with saving lives in the field. this is obviously the kind of case made for people who are going to be visiting extreme conditions, but here is the problem, the canister inside here that blows up the air to save you in an avalanche, cannot be taken on planes because of regulations and, on top of that, it takes up so much space inside the bag that it leaves very little room for shovel blades or a pickaxe. if that is not a problem for you then you will love the design, you can feel it is really robust and a potential life—saver. so, as well as potentially being here to save your life, i'm also here to make sure you can

be both hot and cool when ever you want to be. and you can, with this. it is the gzt. this odd and futuristic looking contraption is ultimately an electric scarf. its makers claim by directing warmt onto your neck that it helps moderate the temperature of your entire body. i know, it kind of looks like a spare part that has fallen off a stormtrooper, but what this is trying to do is actually really good. it warns you up when you are on the slopes and cools you down if you are in a hotter climate. it is the way it does it that doesn't work for me. having it round your neck feels really restrictive and it is rather bulky and that is the last thing you want when you are out and about and being active. pretty little smart watches are everywhere, but the makers of this one claim it is the daddy of smart watches, because it is chunky and robust and it can also save your life if you are stranded at sea or on the side of a mountain. this is ultimately a smart watch that looks like a high end runner‘s watch.

the makers say they wanted to create something a bit different for the seurf and ski fans with its design which comes in three different colours. the big sell here is the fact that this watch has gps tracking. it can also track all your ski sessions and will even update the weather forecast for you via the android app. there are lots of smart watches to choose from, you know that. this one isn't sleek, it isn't slim and that is why it can receive a fair bit of criticism, but that is what i like about it, it is big, bold. it is a bit like me. you know what i really like? people with warm souls. i have a warm soul, in fact i have two of them, because i have the digit soles in my shoes right now which not only keep my feet warm, they also track my steps and tell me how many calories i am burning. i am burning right now. the digit sole uses bluetooth to connect to an app on ios or android. from there, you can adjust the temperature on each foot and see statistics on your walking. it is not the most elegant aap in the world but you probably won't care much as you walk around

just thinking about how toasty your toes are. it takes about three hours to charge these in full and from that you'll get six to nine hours worth of use. perfect for a whole day on the slopes. the only thing is it is just another thing to plug in, so before you go to bed you have to plug in your phone, your tablet, your laptop, your camera and now your insoles, obviously. and finally, i'm off to visit one of the largest floating villages in the world. houses built on stilts can be found across southeast asia, raised if few feet from the ground to protect them from flooding. but the village i am about to see is on a scale that is hard to match. the capital of bandar seri begawan has all the trappings

of your average modern city. but if you venture a little bit further out of town, you will come across a way of life that is a lot more traditional. along the brunei river lies kampong ayer. it is made up of 4000 stilted buildings and over 18 miles of walkways. to get over to the floating village over there you have to take these water taxis which only cost one bruneian dollar and it is very choppy this little body of water, it is a channel almost, there is a lot of wind. a lot of these whitecaps, as you can see. bruneians have been living on the water for over 1000 years. kampong ayer itself goes back

at least six centuries. as head villager, haji ahmed haji bujang is an authority on the community. do you see a new generation of bruneians coming to live here, to keep up the traditions? kampong ayer is said to be home to 30,000 people, most of whom are fishermen and craftspeople, but if the community is going to survive it is going to have to attract a new generation.

to entice people, the government has built these stilted houses from concrete. this, a new bridge, which will dramatically cutjourney times into the capital. these houses kind of overlook the old kampong, the old village, all made of old timber and that metal grate on top. i think i'm more interested in heading over there and seeing buildings and walkways, it is not as pristine as the modern section, but it has its own charm. i'm going to learn about one of the crafts that have been practised here for centuries.

this little boat builder has been going at it for a few generation is now. i am keen to see exactly what kind of techniques he uses and how he does it. hello. wow. what a beautiful boat. you made this? so big. so, is there anything i can do to help you finish the boat? 0k. how many generations of your family have been in the industry? just like that, fits perfectly.

after spending a day here at kampong ayer, i can actually see a lot of change happening in the nearfuture. i do hope they keep some of this old world charm, it is such an attraction for people who have never seen a floating village of this size. well, that's it for this week. join us next week if you can, when in the run—up to saint valentine's day... if you touch it with both hands, you're going to be in love go to be swept off their feet. if you can't wait a whole week for your next travel fix then you canjoin as in real time by sending to our

social media feeds. all of the details are on the bottom of your screens 110w. from me, henry golding, and the rest of the travel show team here in brunei, it is goodbye. hello, there, good morning. we are continuing to miss the very worst of the weather this weekend. we've seen this area of cloud here run just to the south of the uk, bringing with it some damaging winds and very heavy rain across northern spain and france. another area of cloud following in behind, another area of low pressure. again, it is steering to the south of the uk. some of that rain though clipping the south coast and the south—east of england. we've got different sort of issues early sunday — where the cloud breaks,

there will be a touch of frost, some icy patches, particularly across wales and the south—west of england. some patchy fog through the midlands, towards the south—east and also northern ireland. that will be a little slow to lift. a fair bit of cloud around. that rainjust clipping the south—east of england. many place bright, anding up with some sunshine and drier through the afternoon. justne of two showers, mainly across coastal areas, perhaps across northern ireland and western scotland. more showers though later in the day along the eastern side of scotland and maybe the north—east of england but mainly inland areas enjoying some sunshine. a better day for northern scotland than it was on actually on saturday. a chilly sort of look to the temperatures — 5—7 being fairly typical. some sunshine around across england and wales. that area of cloud and rain in the south—east corner pulls away and with light winds, clear skies inland, we're going to find temperatures falling away fairly quickly. later on the night, increasing cloud and wind coming

in to northern ireland, far south—west of england and wales. but frost likely for many areas, particularly in the country side, and we will find some patchy fog around as well. particularly across the eastern side of the uk to begin with on monday. up, the cloud giving way to rain in northern ireland, wales and the south—west. that pushing very slowly into scotland, towards the midlands, central and southern england in the afternoon. a bit of snow over the scottish hills. quite chilly for eastern areas after that cold and frosty start. but at least it should be dry and bright after that early fog. we'll get the rain though overnight, and that will struggle to clear away on tuesday. that weather front moving its way very slowly eastwards and then getting blocked off by those easterly winds so damp and dreary for the eastern side of the uk on tuesday. further west, there will be some sunshine around, maybe a few showers, particulalrly towards the south—west. here temperatures 9—10 degrees, under the rain struggling at 6 celsius or so. as we head through the rest opf the week, a real battle taking place between these milder south to south—westerly winds that we will get for a while in the west and colder winds

from the east that will eventually win out towards the end of the week. welcome to bbc news, broadcasting at home and around the globe. i'm chris rogers. our top stories: a race against time, as thousands of travellers head to the us, thejustice department launches an appeal to enforce donald trump's travel ban on seven countries. president trump said the decision to reject his executive order was "ridiculous," and tweeted that bad and dangerous people could enter the country. the us government has made a formal appeal against the legal ruling suspending president trump's ban on travellers from seven mainly—muslim countries. the announcement followed a series
