the us president donald trump has told reporters he could bring forward a new executive order to replace a proposed travel ban suspended by the courts. it banned entry to citizens of seven mainly—muslim nations. in a tweet he also said the american legal system is broken. clashes in the iraqi capital baghdad have left at least five people dead. the trouble broke out between the security forces and supporters of the shia cleric, muqtada al—sadr. tens of thousands of demonstrators at the rally denounced government corruption and demanded electoral reform. proposals for new official secrets legislation could see journalists and whistleblowers jailed for publishing leaked material, including documents related to brexit. under the plans, which were drafted for the government by the law commission, people who disclose official information that could harm the uk's economy would face prosecution. our business correspondent joe lynam has been looking at the proposals. they basically said that this 365—page document that they published is merely the start, a fact—finding mission.

basically there are four official secrets acts dating back to 1911. they are completely out of date, in the opinion of some legal experts, because they don't take into account the way information can now be moved instantaneously across borders, and photographs and all sorts of sensitive data can be moved rapidly in such speed, ie, the internet. so they are proposing a new act, an aspionage act, which would bring all of the existing rules together, plus add a few. in fact, widen the scope of what could be in breach of what is now the official secrets act. that is where the controversy could come in, with widening the scope to include economic damage to the uk. if someone leaks a document, acquires a document and publishers a document, ie, journalists doing theirjob, that the government had marked as an official secret, that could fall foul of the new act they could face between two

and ten years injail. it is worrying but potentially they wa nt to it is worrying but potentially they want to make no distinction between the leaker of the document and the acquirer of the leaked document and the publisher. if you look at the continuum of the snowdon revelations, you had snowden, who stole the information, gave it to david and there and it was published in the guardian. this would make no distinction between the guardian and edward snowden. the bbc‘sjoe lynam. now on bbc news it's time for the travel show. this week on the travel show, were looking for love on the west coast of ireland. is there anybody out there? yes! we're high in the alps at a french resort that's trying to turn its ski slopes green.

and in peru, we're cooking a dish with chilli peppers and raw fish. first this week, we're riding high in the french alps. skiing is one of the world's most exhilarating sports, but it's also one of the worst for the environment. so many mountain resorts are looking for ways to make winter sports greener. emma—jane kirby's on the trail in the legendary mountains above chamonix. it's been a popular leisure activity here since the early 1900s. these days, skiing is a mega—industry. some 18 million tourists visit the alps every year, generating about 50 billion euros for the local economy. chamonix, at the base of europe's

highest mountain, the mont blanc, is never short of thrill seekers. and when the snow gods smile favourably on this region, the slopes here are heavenly. i love skiing, but i have to admit, it's not the greenest of sports. but resorts like chamonix across the alps can do things to lessen my carbon footprint, and to lessen our impact on this beautiful environment. and chamonix is really serious about turning its prized white slopes green. leaving a lighter footprint on the environment is the key, from changing its transport infrastructure to its use of renewable energy. its reward...

well, it's become one ofjust four alpine ski stations to be awarded the prestigious and highly sought after label, ‘le flocon vert‘ — the green snowflake. a lot of people will say that, no, there is no such thing as green ski. but everybody in the mountain is trying to adapt to global warming. we already lost 40% of snow cover at 1300 metres, compared to the ‘60s. and what we have to know is that in 50 years from now, only 55 resorts of the 300 we have in france will survive. this man was pretty much born on skis. today, he earns his living teaching the sport. but stephan doesn'tjust show his clients how to bend the knees and slide. he also warns them

that ignoring climate change could send the ski industry, and his own livelihood, downhill fast. don't think too much speed. think all the time, skiing under control. let's go! so he's created an eco—friendly ski school. for every pole his clients plant on the mountain, he plants a tree in the peruvian amazon. it's all about instilling in visitors the same respect for the mountains that's innate in him. i grew up in chamonix mont blanc valley, and i saw the difference between i was young, and then a little bit older. i saw the difference, and the pollution take a lot of importance, bad importance. and i said, what can i do for my country?

the only way is to create my company, and try to be better. i'm sure i didn't save the world, but i'm trying to be an example. and to the eco—minded skier, anything that even partly offsets a guilty conscience is a bonus. the passion for it is a bit infectious. you get into this recycled gear, recycled skis, electric cars and all that stuff, and it really fires you up. so the glacier here at argentiere in chamonix might be melting, but the water isn't wasted. it's all captured in big tunnels, and it's pumped up again in the mountain to use in the snow cannons. and we've been given exclusive access to those tunnels, which are six kilometres long. you need to go slowly, that's all.

but in this dark labyrinth of tunnels, chamonix has a secret eco—weapon. some of it is used by us to produce snow for the ski resort. that's about 100,000 cubic metres. but overall, this place generates 60 million cubic metres, so we only use a tiny, tiny bit. the rest of the water is sent back to france or switzerland. it generates electricity through hydro energy. it's green. it's green, absolutely. and 70 metres under the glacier, the view and the quiet is certainly breathtaking. a major observatory means that chamonix's ski slopes steer well clear

of any wildlife habitats. the worst insult you can say to someone that lives in chamonix valley is he's damaging his environment. it's the worst thing you can say to him. so it's deep inside us, we want to make sure that we keep it as it is. 0ur choices matter, too. almost 75% of an average ski resort‘s carbon footprint is created by a visitor's mode of transport. that's because most of us take a budget airline, and then perhaps hire a car. but chamonix is determined to keep that mountain air pure. at one with nature, or against it, the speed of climate change means resorts like chamonix are being forced to find a harmonising rhythm to counter it. and with the industry trying to clean up its act, it leaves us free to ski with a clearer and

greener conscience. next on the travel show, we're off for lunch in lima. 0n the menu, one of peru's classic dishes in this week's global gourmet. today, i'm going to make a perfect ceviche. and this is a perfect ceviche! still to come on the travel show: we're tempting fate here in ireland. if you touch the book with both hands, you're going to be in love and married inside of six months. if you touch it with just one hand,

you're going to be in love. you want to touch it as well? no, i'm keeping well clear of that! the travel show, your essential guide, wherever you're heading. it's time now for trending travel, your monthly mash up of the best travel related stories, snaps and videos online. first up, who hasn't dreamt of packing it all in to explore the world? well, that's exactly what marina piro did with her dog 0die, and a converted minivan. she's turned the van into a home away from home, blogging a step—by—step guide on her website. i wanted to be an inspiration to people that maybe aren't happy with their current way of living. and having a dog, especially while travelling solo, it's a great company. you have to be very careful with vaccinations, and with papers

when you cross borders, but i wouldn't have it any other way. hundreds of wannabe travellers responded to this unique job advert. derek and mckenzie tillotson posted an appeal on facebook for a nanny to join them and their three children on an all expenses paid trip around the world. 0verall, we're looking for someone who's willing pitch in with cooking, cleaning, packing bags, pushing strollers. they hope to have chosen the lucky nanny by the end of the month. we're up for an adventure, and we hope you are, too. for those who want to chart new territory without crossing continents, you can get involved in missing maps. hell ofa it's a project part funded by doctors without borders and the red cross, designed to map remote regions of the developing world. at mapathon events, volunteers are taught how to read satellite imagery, and input the information into the crowd source mapping tool 0penstreetmap. it's hoped these detailed

maps will save lives in the event of disasters. you can find out more on their website. and finally, a new website is bringing to life the russian revolution, which happened at 100 years ago. 1917 free history uses social media feeds to tell the story day by day, building to the events of the october uprising. for many younger people, social networks is their natural way to learn the stories about those prominent historical figures as if they were contemporary celebrities. if visitors of our website would be inspired to visit russia to learn something more, probably we will be happy. thanks to everyone that sent us their pictures using the hashtag, #traveltuesday. here are some of my favourites. richard bates snapped this

in manama, the capital of bahrain. and i like this picture that matthew wilson took in marrakesh, morocco. very atmospheric. now let's look at the travel videos clocking up the views online. with ski season well underway in europe, we've selected some of the best videos shot on the slopes. see you at the lodge! i think that my number one tip for people who want to make their own ski videos would be to first and foremost master your own skiing or boarding skills in order to keep up with the guys you're shooting. you don't want to be left behind. you want to be there when they drop. group dynamics can be a big one to you. you really want to have a group of people out there that you can trust.

storms, weather and conditions, anything can go wrong. we're just always on the hunt for powder, and capturing moments. so we'll see what we get, and see how it all comes together. and you if you see anything you think we should know about, don't forget to get in touch. it's @bbctravelshow. now let's go to the rolling farmlands of county clare in the west of ireland. # 0h, lisdoonvarna # lisdoon...lisdoon...lisdoon # lisdonvarna. ..# it's a place that's quiet and peaceful for 47 weeks of the year. # lisdoon...lisdoon...lisdoon # lisdonvarna # but for five weekends in the early autumn, this little town is inundated with visitors from all over the world.

and they're all here looking for that special someone. the lisdonvarna matchmaking festival is europe's largest singles event, attracting up to 60,000 people each year. it's been a local tradition for over 160 years. the festival was originally designed to help find wives for lonely farmers at the end of the harvest season. for the past half—century, willie daly has been the town's matchmaker in chief, using skills passed down from his father and grandfather. these days, the matching is less about dowries and property, and more about finding true love. most of my matchmaking has been a little bit different from my grandfather and father. and i do enjoying it this way. when i introduce people, i try to have a little bit of magic there.

when the person is coming towards you, you think, that's the man i want to spend the rest of my life with. it's very much an irish thing, maybe. but certainly people from other parts of the world do join with me. we have a lot of people from england, a certain amount from germany, quite a lot from america. willie says his secret is the book he carries with him, where the details of potential matches have been kept for generations. this book looks like it's seen better days. oh, it has, yeah. it's approximately about 150 or 160 years old, like. you know, when you come to that, you can't be counting! it's a love but, and it's a lucky book. if you touch the book with both hands, you're going to be in love and married inside of six months. if you touch it with just one hand, you're going to be in love. willie claims his book has helped him spark 3000 marriages. and with statistics like that, it's perhaps not surprisingly his

services draw hopefuls from far and wide. back in town, the crowds are rising. and a little after 11:00 in the morning, the alcohol‘s already in full flow. events are held up and down the village, but the main centre of matchmaking activity is here at the aptly named matchmaker bar. this is where willie sets out his stall. the process is this. would you like to have children if all goes well? i think so, eventually. yeah. punters fill out their details, and tell willie about themselves, and what they'd like in a partner. then once the 20 euros fee is paid, willie will attempt to find them a match. joel's a little farmer.

hes his own farm. but in the days when many people meet their future partner online, why do people still put their faith in willie and his traditional ways? i had my doubts. i might still have doubts. but i thought i would give it a whirl. why not? the festival may boost the number of locals finding partners, but it's also a serious boost for the local economy, bringing in 3 million euros each year. this festival is the lifeblood of lisdoonvarna. it's like the one month of the year when all the businesses gear towards towards this festival. in september, it's like the whole place is just transformed. so a lot of the b&bs would be very, very quiet during the year. there'd be nobody here. they would make enough money in september to keep them going for the whole year, so it has a massive effect, and it's only getting bigger.

not everyone attending the festival is single. many couples who met here in years past return to celebrate and dance the night, and day, away. but most of the folk here are looking for love. we want to find the one. so far we haven't found it. but do you know what, it is such a good buzz around us, a great atmosphere. a fantastic community, it's brilliant. so we would like to find someone with a bit of land, a nice personality, not bad looking. not bad looking. we will have to find the right man. he's not bad. there is no shortage of options for the ladies here. is there anybody out there?! yes! lisdoonvarna provides plenty of opportunity for some drunken fun.

but finding love is far from guaranteed. and willie's success isn't guaranteed. after a few minutes, the first couple's eyes have already wondered. but here in the matchmaking capital, lisdoonvarna, hope springs eternal. so i'm hoping that by the time i leave here, he'll keep his word and i'll meet someone. because that was the whole reason for me coming here. well, that's all we've got time for on this week's travel show. coming up next week...

carmen's in peru to find out about a 500—year—old tradition called scissor dancing. so dojoin us then if you can. and in the meantime, you don't forget you can catch up with us while we are out on the road by signing up to our social media feeds. details are on the screen now. but for now, from me, christa larwood, and the rest of the travel show team here on the emerald isle, it's goodbye. most of the snow that we've seen build up so far over the last 2a hours has been over high ground. for example, near the pennines and west yorkshire, a good covering of snow in the last 2a hours.

thanks to that weather watcher for sending that picture. generally a fine line between rain and snow. you can see rain coming in, but there is the prospect of seeing a centimetre or two of snow maybe in east anglia and maybe across the hills of central and southern england through the night. the chilterns and downs at risk of seeing that. for most of us it will be another cloudy and cold start to the day, with outbreaks of rain at lower levels. across the pennines there will be ongoing heavy snow through sunday morning. we could see up to ten centimetres of snow above 300 metres of elevation. there is the potential to see some disruptive weather. further west a lot of cloud around. we will have patches of rain. in the hills of east wales it's more likely we will see a bit of snow here.

in west wales it's a largely dry start, perhaps with a few glimmers of brightness. patches of rain and sleet over the hills. through the rest of sunday it stays grey and gloomy. the cold gloom with us again. the snowiest weather is continuing to affect the pennines, but elsewhere there will be a transition from snow back to rain as we go into the afternoon. the temperature just begin to rise a little bit. highs between 4—6, feeling colder than that due to the easterly winds. rugby union takes place again on sunday. the match between france and scotland probably dry. it should be warmer in france than it is here in the uk. things will get a little bit milder over the next few days, as the wind changes to a south—easterly direction. the wind is not as cold. 0vernight sunday night the temperature is not as cold for some of us, 3—4 typically for england and wales. cold enough for a sharp frost in northern scotland. perhaps down to minus five, minus seven.

monday will be especially windy around some of our western coasts and hills. something to watch out for. but there should be more sunshine across england and wales. temperatures climbing, but feeling cold in that easterly wind. further north, grey and gloomy with rain and drizzle. it turns milder towards the middle part of the week until we lose the easterly winds. temperatures in london, 12 by wednesday. welcome to bbc news, broadcasting to viewers in north america and around the globe. i'm ben bland. our top stories: the south korean defence ministry says north korea has fired a missile into the sea of japan. in his latest attack on judges, president trump says the american legal system is broken, as he fights with them over his travel ban. first, some breaking news.

north korea has test—fired another ballistic missile, its first since donald trump became us president. it was launched just before 8am local time from an air base in panghyon province, and flew about 500 kilometres east into the sea of japan.
