also coming up on this week's show: it looks incredible... we're dangling over new york in virtual reality. it's the superman experience. doo—doo—doo! and meeting the man who's attempting to bagpipe his way around the world. italian police started sprinting towards me and said, "never come back! but before you go, can i have a photo?" the long coastline of chile is the point of collision between two tectonic plates, so large magnitude earthquakes are part of chilean history. no alarm sounded, some people fled to higher ground but many didn't escape in time. 0n the night of the 27th of february, 2010, the central coast of chile was hit by one of the biggest earthquakes ever recorded. the magnitude was 8.8 and the city of constitucion was sitting at the epicentre.

but that was not the only deadly force of nature to strike at night. to strike that night. about 18 minutes after the earthquake, a massive tsunami engulfed constitucion. the waves were as high as 15 metres. the remains of the city were washed away. exploring this area you don't have to scratch very far below the surface to see evidence of the tsunami still here seven years on. more than 500 people

lost their lives all over chile to the earthquake and the tsunami of 2010. this family had made a living from their boats for generations, but they'd never experienced a tsunami before. when the earthquake began, they ran to their boats to head into the ocean trying to escape from collapsing buildings. they didn't know they were heading straight into the tsunami. after the tsunami, sofia and her husband found the strength to grow a business with three boats that offered visitors tours around this beautiful estuary. all over constitucion there are stories of bravery

and reconstruction. so this is the place. the first restaurant to be rebuilt kept its former name, the wavebrea ker. this is incredible. in two years... it must have been so tempting after the disaster to just cut your losses and run and go somewhere else, but you stayed. in two years...

it must have been so tempting after the disaster to just cut your losses and run and go somewhere else, but you stayed. constitucion was historically a popular seaside resort, but tourism almost disappeared with the arrival of a woodpulp mill. after the tsunami, the pulp mill was reconstructed as it provided manyjobs. but the city also woke up to a new opportunity for bringing back the tourists. so constitucion has

not just been rebuilt but is enjoying a tourism revival. local businesses have popped up trying to draw tourists to the area in new and innovative ways, like this one. oh, man, this is so much fun!

i do feel a bit like i've swallowed most of the sand that you see around here and might die at any second, but it's incredible fun! 0k! but can this region ever really recover 100% from the trauma of 2010? the people of constitucion are an inspiration. not only have they overcome the most unthinkable tragedies, but now they're ready to bring joy

to the people that come to visit. next up on the travel show, the latest in our series of films about the people of london who keep the city running 2a/7. we meet someone who keeps londoners looking good round—the—clock. new bond street is like probably one of the busiest streets in london. and it's really interesting to see the difference between the daytime and nighttime. the street‘s dead at night. it's peaceful, you've got the whole place to yourself so you can really enjoy it. and you're in london, you're in the centre london. most people work between the hours of nine to five, so i don't know how the hell they can

get their hair done. the salon, how can i help you? we actually offer a 24—hour service so you can actually come in whenever you like. it's really difficult to say without seeing your hair so it's really best if you come in for a consultation. thank you, sure, let's get you booked in. there's no difference between hairdressers and binmen, we provide a service. hairdressing went through a phase where hairdressers were like prima donnas. when the recession kicked in, the hairdressers needed the clients more than the clients needed those hairdressers. for me it's probably kept me in business by offering 24—hour service. because there's no contrast in your colour. whatever you say, will, you know how best to do it. you're right, sexy mumsy. because their phones are not ringing, people let go and they tell you the most intimate things.

the last time i saw you you were going on a date. i mean, it went well for a bit and then we went on this holiday to prague and it was an absolute disaster. some want to come in and they see the lights on and they want a haircut and they'll be drunk. a couple of times we did it it was cool until the next day and he said, "i'm going to sue you!" he asked for it to be cut to there. so now we don't take any drunks, no drunks! however people see me, i still love my clients, even, like, the nightmare clients! i mean, they're the ones that challenge you. it's not about money, i don't do what i do for money, i do it because i love the people. the travel show, your essential guide wherever you're heading. time now for trending travel,

your monthly mash—up of the best travel—related stories, snaps and videos online. it might not be everyone's favourite instrument... but one hardy musician hopes to be the first to play the bagpipes in every country in the world. ross 0'connelljennings set off in april, 2014 and has visited 60 countries so far. i like the idea of being the first person to do something, but also bagpipes aren'tjust scottish, they are an international instrument. there are over 130 bagpipes from countries around the world. mostly it's been positive responses. i was in the vatican city three years ago and i had a feeling that wasn't going to go too well. an italian policeman sprinted towards me and they dragged me towards me and they grabbed me

and chucks me out and says, "never come back, never come back! but before you go, can i have a photo?" in paris a new project gives visitors the chance to see through time. look through the binoculars of the timescope terminaljust installed near the pont d'arcole bridge and you'll see an immersive 360—degree digital representation of life in the middle ages. it's the latest landmark to use vr technology to attract visitors, with other timescope terminals at charles de gaulle airport and the bastille. a solar—powered catamaran has just embarked on an incredible round the world voyage. with plastic pollution in the world's oceans at unprecedented levels, the race for water foundation hopes the voyage will help promote new, innovative ways of tackling the problem. it's expected to last five years, stopping off at the tokyo olympics and dubai's 2020 universal exposition. exhibition and a social media

campaign helped spark an unlikely reunion. marathon runner dion leonard encountered a stray dog on a six—day race across the gobi desert, but after sticking together for the entire journey he lost track of his companion. she actually went missing in urumqi, which is a city of 3 million people in north—west china. they have their own social media platforms, weibo and wechat, so we had the whole of china posting it on their social media. it was just the best moment in my life to actually have her back in my arms again, i never thought we were ever going to find her. dion has penned a book about his search with a feature film adaptation in the works. now let's look at the travel videos clocking up the views online. join us as we take to the skies with some of the internet‘s highflying drone filmmakers. drone photography, for me, started as a kind of backyard hobby, but now it's taken me all over the world for hobby and employment.

i was doing underwater photography. i took that same concept of filming in three—dimensional movement and took it to the air. my three top tips for getting the best shots: don't fly nearairports, congested areas or helicopters. try and fly smoothly. if you have smooth shots, it won't pull the viewer out of the experience. and film and fly when the light is beautiful. and if you see anything you think we should know about, don't forget to get in touch. now, playing in the arcades at the seaside has been a rite of passage for many a young holidaymaker. but times change and so do the games. and this year, we're told, will usher in a whole new generation of amusements. we sent lucy hedges deep into an alternate

universe to find out more. some of the tech involved in virtual reality is awesome, but the cost is still way out of reach for most of us to have in our homes. which is why pay—by—the—hour arcades mightjust be the future. in north america and the far east they've been a fixture for a while now. and europe is slowly beginning to catch up. around the uk, in the second half of last year, very small independent arcades began springing up all over the place. small vr centres have begun opening sporadically in towns around the country — lincoln, penzance, edinburgh and liverpool were among the first to set up shop. but here in the capital, nothing. at least nothing permanent.

the odd pop up in trendy parts of town might be doing brisk business, but a long—term multi—game facility is still to open. continue firing... and there does seem to be an appetite. this is a gaming bar in north london. i believe the competition is happening right now. would you visit a vr arcade? yeah, definitely. definitely, yeah. it's something that's so new and something everyone is talking about. you'd definitely do it. the thing is not everyone could afford a games console in their house, now everyone can, but they can't afford vr, so now vr is the new thing that you can't

afford so you go and rent it for a bit. the market leader is htc, whose centres have been opening across china and taiwan and this is the year it's looking to spread its ambitions to europe. in europe we are launching next quarter. we'll have about 300 centres ranging from hard—core gaming, as you would say, to education and culture. we are ambitioning to have about 1,000 locations before the end of the year, so it's a fairly dynamic market. and of course speed is the essence. they come from the back and from the front. but they got me! and across the english channel there's a glimpse of what the future may very well look like. this is the 13th

district in east paris. it might not look like anything now, i can see building sites and a lot of noise, but in the next few years this is going to really be something. in fact, there's something inside that i'm going to check out. this is slated to become paris's new tech district and at its heart lies europe's largest permanent vr facility. wow! i think this is probably the best vr space i've ever seen. it definitely doesn't scream arcade. it's nothing like the arcades from back in the day. but that's the great thing about virtual reality, it's a new technology and therefore it's bringing a whole new experience. and, like the old—fashioned arcades, they deliver a gaming experience you would never be able to afford in your own home. you put your hand on the wing.

you are going to go down to the ground and up to the sky. ok, i'm ready. it looks incredible! just soaring through new york. it takes a bit of practice, usually, with me. i'm no longer plummeting into the side of buildings, that's the good thing. if you flap your wings you'll go up. oh, you can flap your wings too — i did not know that! 0h! i could spend hours on that. it's like the superman experience. doo—doo—doo! it just takes your mind off the fact that you are actually doing exercise, doesn't it? i'm staring at a beautiful blue sky and birds and beautiful tropical surroundings.

they don't like the word ‘arcade' here because they claim it's an experience notjust about gaming but also about documentary, art and physical fitness. how much does it cost? a 20 minute pass is 12 euros and a0 minutes is 20 euros. that's quite expensive. you have 12 experiences, you have all the best headsets, the best computers, it's a beautiful venue. where's mk2 vr going to go in the future? we are looking forward to opening in major european cities and hopefully in the us, so we are looking for partners in london, berlin, lisbon, new york and los angeles. it feels more silicon valley than paris, but 2017 is definitely the year that vr is making its presence known, with spaces like this popping up all over europe. so if you want to step into a virtual world, now you can. well, that's all we've got time for this week.

coming up next week... ade's at one of the world's biggest sporting events, the america's cup, in bermuda... bermuda's just been amazing. the people have been fantastic. ..finding out how top sports men and women are turning the spotlight onto the island's marine conservation. so this is the thing causing all the trouble. so dojoin us then if you can and, in the meantime, don't forget you can keep up with us while we're out having adventures on the road by signing up to our social media feeds. details are on the screen now. from me, christa larwood, and the rest of the travel show team here in chile, it's goodbye. good afternoon. we start with a look

at the satellite sequence which shows a big swirl of cloud to the west of the uk. that is at the centre of low pressure which is driving weather fronts across the uk. it's never got to the south—east corner so we have uk. it's never got to the south—east corner so we have had a good deal of sunshine here all day. that's been confirmed by one of our weather—watchers. it's not like that across—the—board. in weather—watchers. it's not like that across—the—boa rd. in cornwall, ledden skies and fairly rough seas. we have also got rain in the air and on the windows there in wales too. so yes we do have the line of rain from the south—west of england, through wales up to the north of

england. scattered showers in scotla nd england. scattered showers in scotland and northern ireland. through the early evening, it's fine and dryfor through the early evening, it's fine and dry for glasgow for the big football match. in eastern scotland, variable amounts of cloud and sunshine. there is the rain turning increasingly light and patchy. northern ireland, maybe a shower or two. there's the rain into wales and the south—west. grey underneath that with fog on the hills. a lovely evening in the east. quite warm at 23 or 24. always a little fresher along the south coast. no problems at hampden park for this evening and none eitherfor at hampden park for this evening and none either for the northern at hampden park for this evening and none eitherfor the northern ireland match against azerbaijan in baku. the rain drifts southwards, mostly light and patchy at this stage. we'll see a few showers in scotland and northern ireland. it will be a breezy night. temperatures no lower than 14 or breezy night. temperatures no lower than14 orso, breezy night. temperatures no lower than 14 or so, but could be no lower than 14 or so, but could be no lower than 16 or 17 than 14 or so, but could be no lower than16 or17 in than 14 or so, but could be no lower than 16 or 17 in some parts of east anglia and the south—east. 0n

sunday, scattered showers towards the north and west of the uk in closer proximity to the low pressure. it will be a breezy day. fairly cloudy for east anglia and the south—east. a bit of light rain and drizzle on and off. sunny and scattered showers. not as warm as today. the early part of next week, still a fair number of isobars and it will bea fair number of isobars and it will be a breezy day on monday and the pressure is rising all the while from the west. a shower or two in the north and west but a lot of fine and dry weather to be had on monday. quite breezy. upper teens or low 20s for the temperatures. plenty more information on the bbc weather website. this is bbc news. the headlines at three. i'm jane hill at westminster, where the prime minister's top advisers —

nick timothy and fiona hill — have resigned. nick timothy sad he regretted not including a pledge to cap total social care costs — and that the party hadn't talked to the people who decided to vote labour. nick has been a very good servant of the conservative party and of course of theresa may, and he's worked very hard. but politics is a rough business, and these things happen. they went following what the bbc understands were demands from some conservative mps that mrs may would face a leadership challenge if they didn't go by this weekend. mrs may is preparing for talks with the democratic unionist party next week. i want to make this clear.
