this is bbc news, the headlines. the 620 summit in hamburg has closed, with a failure by world leaders to bridge the divide over climate change. angela merkel said she deplored ameria's decision to withdraw from the paris agreement. president trump said his first summit was a success for his policies on trade and energy. state television in iraq say security forces are on the verge of retaking the city of mosul, which has been under the control of the so—called islamic state. some soldiers were celebrating on the streets but there's still no official word of victory from the iraqi government. injapan sixteen people are thought to have been killed after heavy flooding destroyed many homes. search and rescue teams are still looking for the missing . the national weather agency said some places have seen more rain in a matter of hours than they usually get injuly. a tea towel collection and the complete works of writer dick francis — perhaps not exactly the items that make you think

of the british poet philip larkin. but they're all part of a new exhibition of his belongings. our entertainment correspondent colin paterson reports. when getting my nose in a book cured most things, short of school, it was worth ruining my eyes to know i could still keep cool... philip larkin‘s poem a study of reading habits. now we know more about his own reading habits, because his personal book collection has gone on display, and there is a lot of agatha christie, billy bunter and beatrix potter. so here we've got 3,700 of philip larkin‘s own books... they are part of an exhibition of his personal objects at the university of hull library, where he worked for more than 30 years. but what do ties, a lawnmower, and his tiny animal figurine collection tell people about one of the nation's greatest—ever poets? well, what they will learn is what they cannot learn in books. lots and lots of words have been written about larkin,

but what you can see here are the things he surrounded himself with in his life. because he's a librarian, he catalogues everything. he's even catalogued who he has received christmas cards from, and who is sending them to. if he sends one, but does not get one back? he will be gone. in 1979, he received a christmas card from andrew motion, but he has not set one. his biographer and literary executor. in 1980, yes, larkin sent a christmas card back. he sent one in 1979, he doesn't get one, he writes down, he sent one back the next year. the exhibition also includes super 8 film from the 1960s and ‘70s. it is clear why philip larkin became a poet and not an actor. now on bbc news, the travel show. on this week's travel show, we're in a surfing community trying to hold back the tide of development

on the chilean coast. also coming up... we go looking for lost ships beaneath the canadian waves. we discover a novel way to make a cake in rural france. and our global guru, simon calder, tackles the biggest question in travel... where next? let's start this week's programme on the stunning pacific

coastline of central chile. punta de lobos is best known for its dramatic high cliffs, with views over black sandy beaches and rocky outcrops, where sea lions gather. and it's also become famous as one of the best places to surf in south america. this is insane. wow! with a consistent swell and regular runs of huge waves, punta de lobos is considered one of the best breaks in south america. and it's become a paradise for big wave surfers. i've arrived in punta de lobos at a particularly good time, because word has gone around that this morning's swell will be unusually strong, with waves of up to 30 feet. these huge waves have been tracked

all the way from antarctica, and have drawn out locals and people from across the world to watch them come in and crash against these rocks. if you look really carefully out there, what looks like little birds bobbing on the surface of the water, are surfers taking on these gargantuan waves, at the risk of their lives.. it's pretty incredible. one of the servers out there is kohl kristensen, who flew here yesterday from hawaii just to catch these waves. the forecasting these days is so good that we can actually see these big storms forming, and it gives us enough time to jump on a plane and come down here. punta de lobos, for me, is, you know, a pretty magical place. it has a special place in my heart. the point itself is one of the more beautiful places i've ever been, and people travel from all over the world to come here

for a good reason, because the waves are so good. and, it turns out, the surfing bug is contagious. everyone keeps talking about how amazing these waves are, so i've got my wet suit, about tojump on a surfboard and try and find out for myself. my teacher is a local who introduces novices to the art of surfing every day. i suspect, however, that he's used a rather more coordinated students. looking... laughter. it turns out surfing is definitely not as easy as it looks. i got whacked in the face with about ten waves in a row, so i swallowed most of that water, i think.

it was super fun, thank you. 0k. gracias. luckily, punta de lobos has plenty of beautiful views to enjoy for those who aren't the most gifted of surfers. but despite its idyllic appearance, this place is not all paradise. in fact, it's been the site of a battle between local private interests and conservationalists. until recently, punta de lobos was relatively unknown, but over the past couple of decades its popularity has soared, as a surfing and a tourist destination. these days, 5000 visitors arrive to the point daily during summertime. perhaps not surprisingly, this has attracted developers, keen to capitalise on the area's

new—found popularity. much of the coast is in the hands of private owners, and plans were made for extensive building along the cliffs. a lot of private projects are real estate projects, big ones, were wanting to be developed here. where we're standing here, there will be houses hanging on the cliffs, four buildings seven storeys high, like a surf resort, or not even a surf resort, but huge density of construction and people coming here. we have a real threatening situation for such a special place like this. matias is a director of the punta de lobos foundation — a nonprofit organisation created among locals to fight the development plans. along with other conservation bodies, such as save the waves, they've worked to halt shore—side construction and to keep the cliffs open to the public.

but that was only their first challenge. it was a mess here. if you put a thousand or 1500 cars here, you could take an hour, an hour and a half tojust go a mile out back to the highway. and the second thing is that there were no bathrooms here, so people would do their needs in the cliffs, in wherever, and this would be very dirty. the foundation responded by regulating the traffic with a roundabout and installing eco—bathroom facilities. along with a recycled fence along the cliff line, to protect it from the erosion of visitors‘ feet. community involvement has been a vital ingredient in the success of the conservation project, and some local businesses are adopting a low impact philosophy.

this hotel overlooks the punta de lobos beach and was built with the aim of causing as little impact as possible on the surrounding area. unlike earlier hotel plans, it's designed to be camouflaged into the hillside and it's built with local and recycled materials. it's all in the architecture. we don't want it to be like a big hotel, five storeys tall. we have 12 rooms, we could have had 40, 50, but we wanted to offer something different, something special. this is a very sensitive and special place and spot for us, so we wanted to protect it. many involved in the efforts here see punta de lobos

as a landmark conservation case for chile, one that could have a much broader impact than just protecting one favoured surfing spot. we are very eager that punta de lobos is successful, because it's the example in order to scale this project throughout chile. there's a need for conservation in chile, we are a developing country, we're just getting started, and we can learn from so many mistakes. punta de lobos could set the example for future developments along the coast. from south america to europe next, and the village of arreau, set high in the french pyrenees. they're big on tradition when it comes to cooking here, and they've got a novel approach

to making cakes that dates back over 200 years. still to come on this week's travel show... looking for a long haul in october? 0ur global guru simon calder has some seasonal suggestions. and we go to the canadian islands, where the sea can bite. the travel show — your essential guide, wherever you're heading. welcome to the slice of the show that tackles your questions about getting the best out of travel. coming up shortly, ideas for a great 0ctober escape, and managing money for mexico. but first, peak tourist season

in europe is underway and so i've asked britain's biggest airports for the days this summer when they expect to be busiest. here at gatwick, it's sunday 13th august, with travellers passing through at a rate of two per second. at manchester, friday 18th august is the key day, and at heathrow airport — the busiest in europe — the peak will be on sunday 6th august, with over 250,000 passengers arriving and departing. jane wants to know... what's your top long haul recommendation in october? at that time of year it's hard to go wrong with a trip along either the east or the west coast of the usa, from washington, dc, south to florida, or on the californian coast, from san francisco to the mexican border. the climate is benign, apart from the odd storm on the east coast, and if you like to swim in the ocean, it's about as warm as it gets. 0n the east coast, spend a few

days in the us capital and then fly to florida, pick up a rental car and call in at cape canaveral for the space coast and miami beach. 0r, on the west coast, explore san francisco then hire a car for the trip south along california state route 1, with some of the best coastal scenery in the world; spectacular cliffs and marine life, which may include sea lions. highlights include hearst castle, the hilltop mansion of a newspaper magnate, the hollywood hills, offering genuine urban wilderness, and at the deep south of california, san diego — the ideal city in which to end an adventure. next, pauline and rob stannard followed my advice to visit nicaragua and simply want to know, where next? well, if you enjoyed the landscapes and elements of hard—core travel in central america's largest country, let me recommend a couple of other alluring latin american destinations...

cuba and ecuador. both of them are a little frayed around the edges, with unpredictable but entertaining transport, and have plenty of beautiful towns. in the capitals, havana and quito, you'll find echoes of the colonial atmosphere you appreciated in granada and leon in nicaragua. finally, fran wants to know... is it best to take us dollars or pesos to mexico? take dollars. in my experience, the very best rates for mexican pesos are to be found inside the country. so take in cash and change it at one of the many casas de cambio.

if you're heading for cancun and the riviera maya area, then euros or pound sterling are recognised and accepted at all the resorts. for the rest of mexico, though, us dollars are the only universally recognised currency. other foreign funds may be regarded with suspicion. whether you're travelling on a shoestring or a gold—plated credit card, i'm here to help, so e—mail your question to thetravelshow@co.uk and i'll do my very best to find you an answer. from me, simon calder, the global guru, bye for now and see you next time. and to finish this week's programme, we're off to canada and the magdalen islands in the gulf of saint lawrence. the waters can be treacherous and many ships have run aground on the rocks here, meaning that lots of people who live in the area now are descendants of shipwrecked sailors, who were washed ashore when their ships went down, giving them a unique respect for the sea. ethereal music. my name's nancy clark.

i was born and raised on this island. as an islander, when we say "home", it's something very strong and something very rooted, because our ancestry is like all in one island, so our sense of belonging is very strong. most island families have..

it affects them in some way or another. my uncle, her brother, drowned and my father's brother also drowned, so i've two uncles that have drowned. my father's brother actually drowned just over there, right across the road. this is where robert best, he would be my grandmother's grandfather, and he shipwrecked from the channel islands on a ship called the perry around 1875. we have very strong ties to the sea, because it's generational. so my family, it's like six generations of fishermen and also my brother's fifth—generation boat builder, so these things are handed down through the families. i feel so comfortable

here and i've never felt that feeling anywhere else. like knowing every little nook and cranny, and the beach and the cape and just feeling completely at ease. well, unfortunately that's all we've got time for on this week's travel show. coming up next week... continuing the shipwrecked theme, ade‘s in bermuda, where he'll be meeting the team who are digitally mapping the hundreds of underwater lost ships there, for everyone to be able to see online around the world. that was quite literally breathtaking! so dojoin us then, if you can, and in the meantime,

don't forget you can keep up with us while we're out on the road in real—time, 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 in chile, it's goodbye. hello there. after a warm, muggy night, sunday should bring us some more warm weather, with some sunshine. not dry everywhere, though, some rain in the forecast too. during saturday, there were scenes a bit like this. a lot of sunshine around, this is ceredigion, in wales. and now, and as we move

through the day on sunday, similar day for many of us, blue sky and sunshine, but there will be some rain around across northern parts of the country. we have got quite a slow—moving front, and that is bringing outbreaks of rain across parts of scotland and northern ireland through the day on sunday. whereas further south, across england and wales, higher pressure is holding onto the warm weather. not a lot of isobars on the map, so just a very light breeze around. a pleasant enough day across most parts of the country. as we move through the day, we've got that front bringing cloud and patchy outbreaks of rain for northern ireland, intermittently to southern and western scotland. northern scotland, though, should brighten up, and england and wales should have quite a lot of dry weather, too. so this is a:00pm in the afternoon. some sunshine for stornoway and inverness.

cloudier for aberdeen, with somerain across northern parts of northern ireland, sinking its way south into parts of dumfries and galloway, for example, too. as we move into england and wales, mostly sustained dry, with some good spells of sunshine, but there is just the odd chance of catching one or two of these light, passing showers, particularly across the east of wales, the midlands, down towards the south—west of england. fewer showers, i think, reaching eastern parts of england. it is likely to stay dry at lord's for the fourth day of the test match. england continue to play south africa. 26 degrees or so, perhaps a bit more cloud around than we have seen over recent days. moving into sunday evening, still that rain in northern ireland, central and southern scotland, pepping up for a time, in fact, and then drifting its way eastwards overnight. fairly cloudy skies further south, with a few showers around. could get the odd thunderstorm across the far south—east, as well. but still muggy, 17 degrees or so in the south, although slightly fresher conditions moving into scotland and northern ireland. after that fairly cloudy start for some of us, i think it should brighten up on monday, and then we're set to see a day of sunny spells and scattered showers bubbling up through central and eastern areas, in particular,

through the course of the afternoon. the odd heavy one, but certainly not a washout. some good spells of sunshine in between any showers. highs between about 16 to 25 degrees or so. into tuesday, further showers across northern parts of the country, and more persistent rain moving its way east, across southern parts of england, south wales, as well. more comfortable for sleeping as we head through into the middle part of the week, with a few showers in the north. bye for now. welcome to bbc news, broadcasting to viewers in north america and around the globe. my name is duncan golestani. our top stories: the g20 summit has ended with world leaders failing to bridge the divide over climate change — president trump called it a "wonderful success". after two days of violent protests — hamburg starts to recover from the havoc caused by demonstrators at the summit. edging closer to victory in mosul — some iraqi government forces begin celebrating the defeat of so—called islamic state.
