knife in a vehicle near the palace. simonjones reports. concerned crowds look on as police investigate a possible terror incident outside buckingham palace. the met says just after 8:30pm yesterday a man stopped his car near a police vehicle. officers then spotted a large bladed weapon in the car and went to arrest him. two police officers suffered minor injuries to their arms and were taken to hospital for treatment. the met has praised their brave and swift action that meant the suspect was detained very quickly. no members of the royalfamily were in buckingham palace at the time. cordons were quickly put up around the palace. the suspect, a 26—year—old man, was also taken to hospital and arrested on suspicion of grievous bodily harm and assault. during the night, he was further arrested under the terrorism act. no members of the public were hurt. the met‘s counter—terrorism command is now investigating. security remains tight in london for the bank holiday weekend. a ring of steel is being promised around the notting hill carnival to protect people from a barcelona style attack. a spokeswoman from buckingham palace said they would not comment on security issues.

the most powerful storm to strike mainland america in more than a decade has made landfall in texas. hurricane harvey has winds of up to 130 miles per hour and has battered the town of rockport. some residents are reported to be trapped inside collapsed buildings. the emergency services said it was too dangerous to respond to some calls. david willis reports. harvey hit texas hard overnight, bringing with it high winds and heavy rain. a category four hurricane, capable of causing catastrophic damage. deemed the most powerful storm to hit the us mainland in over a decade. this is going to be a very major disaster. this is harvey from above, a malevolent storm system ten miles wide, capable of dumping up to a0 inches of rain. corpus christi, a city

in the eye of the storm, has seen a rush to evacuate. fears of a power outage forcing the sickest babies at a children's hospital to be moved out of the hurricane's path. the national weather service warned of winds that could leave homes uninhabitable for weeks or even months. among those heeding the local mayor's advice to "get out of dodge", this woman and her three children. i try to be strong because i don't want my children to see. they get scared and i don't want to have them scared. i have to be a strong mother for that. briefed earlier by his advisers, president trump is facing the first national disaster of his term in office. the lessons of hurricane katrina i2 years ago still serve as an indelible reminder of the political past of underestimating a weather system such as this. the president urged texans to heed calls to evacuate,

but, with several days of storm force winds and rain ahead, it's likely many of those who leave may not have much to come back to. 0ur north america correspondent james cook is in the seaside town of corpus christi for us and sent this update. hurricane harvey smashed a short just a short time ago, not far from here, about 30 miles north—east of where we are standing. rockport is where we are standing. rockport is where it came ashore. the winds were said to be at 130 mph according to the national hurricane centre. it makes it a category four, most powerful storm to hit the mainland of the united states in more than a decade. there are reports of damage, i have seen parts of a building that was being constructed coming down, palm trees are coming down as well.

the real effect will only come to light as we get into the morning. the governor of texas has warned that this is going to be an extremely serious storm, and a potentially major disaster. that is certainly possible at the moment. you can get a real sense of the scale of the there in corpus christi. we will speak to a storm chaser later in the programme. millions of travellers taking to the road and rail network this weekend face disruption because of major engineering works. the south east of england will be badly affected with station closures at charing cross, euston and liverpool street. there will be limited services at other stations. in the north west of england engineering work will affect stations in manchester, preston, blackpool and bolton. jenny kumar is at king's cross station for us. it has been quite busy in the last

hour. i think people are heeding the advice and travelling early, avoiding peak periods. the combination of record levels of engineering works, station works, more people expected to stay at home rather than go on holiday could prove a transport headache this weekend. it is expected to be busy here this weekend, they are expecting more people to travel on services between here and scotland. the london euston station is close, affecting routes to the midlands and scotland. they are expecting high demand here instead. the edinburgh festival finishes this weekend as well. there is a massive engineering project across england, millions of pounds being spent on that and that

will have a massive impact. the advice is, if you are going to travel, check before you do so and expect delays. you may be wondering why it is happening now, network rail said there is never an ideal time. if you are thinking of avoiding the trains and getting in your car, they are warning that a record 15,000 motorists are expected to hit the roads this weekend. north korea has fired three short—range ballistic missiles, according to the american military. two of the missiles failed in flight, the third blew up almost immediately after it was launched. the latest firings come during a joint us—south korea military exercise, which has been strongly criticised by pyongyang. england are set to take on new zealand in the women's rugby world cup final in belfast tonight. the red roses will attempt to defend their title against the black ferns, who have never lost a world cup

final. the sides last met injune when england scored five tries to win 29—21 and end a five—game winning streak for the kiwis. good luck to them. conor mcgregor, the mixed martial arts star claimed he has never seen champion boxer, floyd mayweather in worse physical shape as the pair exchanged words at a raucous weigh—in in las vegas last night. ahead of tonight's clash in what is being billed as the richest fight of all time let's look at the other reasons it has gained so much attention. the clash of two men at the top of their game. floyd mayweather has come out to meet a man making his debut. conor mcgregor is an ultimate fighting champion from ireland. he is 11 years younger than his

opponent. mcgregor has had 13 first—round knockout is in usc, but if he wins, it could be the greatest shockin if he wins, it could be the greatest shock in a —— the history of sport. he would pass a record of 49 fights without defeat —— floyd mayweather would. there is also a huge payday at stake. the fight is expected to break the record of 4.6 million pay—per—view viewers. let's speak now to steve bunce who is in las vegas as part of the 5live commentary team for tonight's clash. you are very much looking the part this morning. what is the mood there? what are the expert saying? the experts are divided. the boxing experts think it is a mismatch. they

think it is a 1—horse race and that there is no way that floyd mayweather could lose. it is even suggested he won't even get hit. there at 900 mixed martial artists, and all of those men and women, they think that conor mcgregor has got a great chance. there is a very divided opinion here in this city. whether you think it is pantomime or not, there is always a what if around that boxing match. 0nce two men getting the ring, you just don't know might happen. yes, we have no idea what is going to happen with conor mcgregor. the "what if" here is capital letters. i don't think i

have ever looked forward to the opening round quite as much as this, because we absolutely have no idea how this kung fu and ju—jitsu expert, we have no idea how mcgregor will react once the first bell sounds. 20,000 people, one referee and an unbeaten opponent. the first 20 seconds, i have never looked forward to an opening round like this one. how has conor mcgregor have been preparing? you must have had some expertise? he is a brilliant ufc fighter. is there a danger that in the heat of the moment, he might forget what discipline he is fighting in? think about this. you might want to close your eyes. if you were to lash out, and style, and gets disqualified, he

will lose 75% of his guaranteed $1 million. he has prepared in private. he has done some fairly public spiring which he leaked onto social media, which he has done in private —— sparring. he is trying to change the way he fight, from mixed martial a rts the way he fight, from mixed martial arts to boxing. he hired one of the world's most famous rocks in referees to work in the gym. he did it, with a bow tie on like a real referee. even sometimes when it was just in the bag, this referee would coach him in boxing etiquette, telling him what he could all couldn't do. we were seeing earlier that the images of the way in happened overnight. you have seen

many of these over the years, there isa many of these over the years, there is a bit of nonsense to do with this. we saw mcgregor are screaming in the face of his opponent. floyd mayweather looking very calm. can we read anything into those moments? absolutely not. that is what mayweather does. weighing in before a fight, mayweather does. weighing in before afight, in mayweather does. weighing in before a fight, in his underpants, he has had it before. ten years ago, there we re had it before. ten years ago, there were about 12,000 brits swearing at him. the majority of the crowd, you can see the building over my right shoulder, most of those people were irish fans. did conor mcgregor lose his cool? definitely. i don't think we can read too much into the way in. before the way in, there were some telling shot. conor mcgregor

got some great cheers ringing out. he looked to me like he was suddenly realising that, oh, gosh, i'm the style. he looked a little bit nervous. “— style. he looked a little bit nervous. —— star. what about the atmosphere? will it make a difference? it might. i was speaking to someone who will work with me on the show. he said don't expect 19,000 irish fans. the tickets are simply too expensive. half of the arena will be people coming from the casinos. and then another quarter in the box. then the irish. they wheel outsing anybody,

sure, they always do, but they won't be as intimidating as they were at the way in. there is only the two in the way in. there is only the two in the ring and the ref, none of the fans. you will be in the commentary box. will you be wearing the hawaiian shirt? for this fight, i can exclusively reveal this, i have acquired a brand—new shirt sent to me from honolulu. it has coconut husk buttons. don't am i wife, it cost nearly $300. —— don't tell my wife. i will be wearing an exclusively. we go live at four o'clock. it is radio. you can wear

whatever you want on radio. thank you so much. my pleasure. i will speak to you soon. you will get no better commentary anywhere for that fight. that is the information. the buildup starts at half past three. the fight started four o'clock this morning. it will be huge. we have a lot of fun but it is dangerous. you can give some thoughts this morning. let us know. i want to know if anyone thinks colin mcgregor stands anyone thinks colin mcgregor stands a chance at all, if you are on his side. you can tweet or e—mail. and 110w side. you can tweet or e—mail. and now for the weather. we have been keeping an eye on taxes. we saw this

morning what it looks like on the grounds that the —— texas. morning what it looks like on the grounds that the -- texas. we will start with the satellite image behind me. stunning. buta terrifying image. a category 4 storm. this is the centre. the winds have wrapped around it. 130 miles per hour. areas in its path will get two separate punches. winds and rain. a storm surge at the moment as well. 0nes rain. a storm surge at the moment as well. ones that comes in, the winds will ease, but the rain will be devastating. it is in shifting on. it is staying in the same areas. 14 months of rainfall in birmingham, imagine that, squeezed into three

days. that is why we will see catastrophic flooding in texas. it will go on through the week. thankfully, for us, much more quiet. a bank holiday weekend. 0ne thankfully, for us, much more quiet. a bank holiday weekend. one or two this weekend. many will stay com pletely this weekend. many will stay completely dry. it will feel warm under the sun as well. today is a better day for scotland and northern ireland compared to yesterday. the heaviest in eastern scotland today. thunder cannot be ruled out. more cloud in southern parts of england and wales compared to yesterday producing rain in the midlands and east anglia. mostly dry into the afternoon. sunny spells once the cloud breaks. looking good for those of those heading to headingley. a second test between england and the west indies taking place. dry until late on monday. this evening,

belfast, the women's world cup final in the rugby. a great day in the weather for you as well. dry this evening with clear skies. mist and fog patches forming the night. cool in the countryside. down to single figures. double—figure temperatures for sunday. cloud the western scotland. isolated showers in the west of england and wales to begin with. the vast majority, dry on sunday. more sunshine compared to today. temperatures just a little bit higher. crucially, most of you will stay dry. sunday night. changes taking place. monday, bank holiday for most people. wet weather pushing into northern ireland in scotland. dry to begin with but turning wet and windy through the day. a lovely start for the north and west and

wales. rain by the evening. that will impact temperatures for the north of the uk. 18 degrees is not bad for this time of year. further south, increased sunshine. we could see temperatures on monday, bank holiday, across england, peaking at 28. that will be in the south—east. thank you. around 700,000 people in the uk are on the autism spectrum. getting a formal diagnosis can sometimes be difficult. that was the experience of patrick samuel, who was diagnosed with asperger syndrome at 38. prior to that, he self—harmed and once had to be driven home by the police following a violent outburst. since his diagnosis, he says his life has been turned around by art therapy. it saved my life. there is no other way to put it than that. without

art, i would way to put it than that. without art, iwould not way to put it than that. without art, i would not be here today. the life i had before art, i was incredibly frustrated, angry, depressed. i became non—verbal. i was not talking about my problems, the things that were troubling me of the things that were troubling me of the incidents that were occurring quite frequently, the meltdowns, the self injury. my carer put an a3 pad in front of me and said draw. every day for years i have painted as a form of therapy. my first drawing is one that i am fond of. it means a lot to me. a self—portrait with half of my face being normal and the other half being skill —— skeletal.

that is how i felt, useless and dead. now i feel like i have paint in my veins. it is how i breathe and live. it was a very long flight to get my diagnosis. it costs a lot for the local ccg, the clinical commissioning group, to find it. i remember the psychiatrists putting a box of tissues in front of me. i sat there with a huge grin on my face because i felt vindicated. stories like mine sadly are very, very common. a diagnosis up to a lot of services and support that can help

you. as for the label of the syndrome, i wear it proudly because it explains a lot of know i am and why i am the way i am. i have never had an experience like that before of seeing my work on display and people actually stopping, looking, and that is when they would talk to me as well. i hope that my work and the story that hotel my work inspires and motivates others who are looking for a way to express themselves. ——i tell. are looking for a way to express themselves. --i tell. stunning pictures. thank you to him for sharing his story. to discuss the value of art therapy for people on the autism spectrum we are joined by tom purser from the national autistic society. thank you very much for being with us thank you very much for being with us this morning. it is hard to

believe he did no art before his diagnosis and then explored it through art therapy. all of that talent laid untouched for so many yea rs. talent laid untouched for so many years. that is correct. think about what stopped him, experiences of meltdowns in public, self injury, angen meltdowns in public, self injury, anger. he was struggling to process the world around him. he found it quite overwhelming. many have told us quite overwhelming. many have told us that is there experience of finding a world overwhelming and getting in the way of what they want to do. very moving hearing him explain his own condition and how he looks at himself. the issue of diagnosis was one of the ones he highlighted, how important it is to get it so that you can make the next steps. it is important. yes. we have autism crisis in this country. it

took him years to access that diagnosis. he needed help from his mp to actually get that. that story is too common. people tell us they are awaiting years. research has shown adults are waiting up to two and a half years to get help and even five years from first raising that. why is it happening? in the last10— that. why is it happening? in the last 10— 15 years we have seen an awareness increase regarding autism. since 2009, adult diagnostic services appeared for the first time. they have been overwhelmed. u nfortu nately time. they have been overwhelmed. unfortunately they do not keep data over who was waiting for diagnosis and how long they are waiting for. there is no national picture of how much investment needs to go into these services. some adult individuals might be concerned about getting a diagnosis. you can see the

relief, the pride, and his ability to understand the world that he gained. it was critical for him. to understand the world that he gained. it was criticalfor him. it won't be the right method for everyone, though. that is correct. he clearly had a transformative effect from art on his life. for other autistic people, it can be finding a way to process the world around them, whether it is art, whether it is other things that they wa nt whether it is other things that they want like trampolining, music, horse riding, anything that gives them joy and focus in life can have that same effect. i think it is about removing that experience of getting too much information in public places in finding a way of unlocking potential in people and talent that is

important. what has been the experience in your own family? it affected you. i have a 15-year-old son, charlie, diagnosed at age two. he draws incessantly and is a great artist as well. it is that attention to detail that makes him a good artist. you don't have to be great either. you don't need to be a savant either. you don't need to be a sava nt to either. you don't need to be a savant to justify exploring these creative outlet. not at all. it is about using creativity in whatever form to find joy in life. thank you so much. stay with us. headlines coming up next. hello, this is breakfast with charlie stayt and rachel burden. coming up before eight, matt will have the weather. but first, a summary of this morning's main news.

the most powerful storm to strike mainland america in more than a decade has made landfall in texas. hurricane harvey has winds of up to 130 miles per hour and has battered the town of rockport. some residents are reported to be trapped inside collapsed buildings. tens of thousands of people have lost power. the emergency services said it was too dangerous to respond to some calls. earlier we spoke to the cbs news reporter weijiajiang who is in corpus christi where residents were advised to evacuate as hurricane harvey approached. right now, state officials don't have any hard numbers for how many people have evacuated the area. but there were seven coastal areas that had mandatorily evacuations. that happened already on thursday evening and into friday. many people in the other areas chose to stay in the path of hurricane harvey. they didn't want to abandon their homes

or they were worried about transporting their children. frankly, i don't think anyone expected this storm to get this bad. it only became a category four hurricane aimed on friday, even a category three was a surprise. so people will be waking up very shocked to see the damage. the building where we are is shaking, so ican imagine building where we are is shaking, so i can imagine people inside their homes are very frightened and then made not be able to sleep —— on friday. you have the winds, you have the storm surge plus haavi is expected to just hang out in the area and dump a tremendous amount of maine, up to three feet —— rain.

there are flooding concerns, there are trees down, power lines down, all the worse things of a bad storm coming together to make this quite historic. this is just coming together to make this quite historic. this isjust the beginning. we are not going to understand the devastation for days to come, once we see all the flooding here and in major cities such as houston. they are already bracing for a lot of water. since we spoke to her, conditions have worsened significantly. we are not able to go to our live correspondence because the conditions are so bad, but we will keep you updated. a man found with a large blade in a car outside buckingham palace is being questioned by counter—terror police. two officers were injured after tackling the 26—year—old last night and have been praised

for their quick reactions. it is understood that no members of the royal family were in the palace at the time. millions of travellers taking to the road and rail network this weekend face disruption because of major engineering works. the south east of england will be most affected with stations closures at charing cross, euston and liverpool street — as well as limited service from others. in the north west of england, engineering works will affect manchester, preston, blackpool and bolton. the disruption is because of work involving around 17,000 engineering staff. north korea has fired three short—range ballistic missiles, according to the american military. two of the missiles failed in flight, the third blew up almost immediately after it was launched. the latest firings come during a joint us—south korea military exercise, which has been strongly criticised by pyongyang. those are the main stories this morning. nearly half a million pounds will be

given to community projects in england to help develop new technology to tackle littering. it's hoped the money will go towards creating new apps and smart bins which will alert rubbish collectors when they're full. we are full of sports news today, actually. this isn't happening tonight... it is happening, finally. it has been in the making for months, years even. there is no title on the line. you had a great chat in the last 20 minutes. but it is all about selling? yes, if floyd mayweather remains undefeated, will it still count? will the boxing purists regard this as a wind?m it still count? will the boxing purists regard this as a wind? it is sanctioned by the boxing regulators,

this is where the debate is. can conor mcgregor actually box? it will be his first fight. has floyd mayweather still got it? he is a lot older. this belt says it all, it is actually cold the money belt. here's actually cold the money belt. here's a few years younger than you. the thing around this fight, even if you ta ke thing around this fight, even if you take it has a bit of a pantomime or whatever, there is still a big question. before we get into it, everyone is underestimating the irish spirit. they have amazing spirit in warfare. i felt it. i believe with you. they have weighed in overnight for the fight that everyone

is talking about, and most of the talk has been about whether the mixed martial arts superstar connor mcgregor can actually beat the greatest boxer of his generation, floyd mayweather. the purse is eye—watering, with the final paycheck to be determined by pay—per view sales. that is expected to break all records. after a relatively low key build—up in las vegas, the weigh—in, for the junior heavyweight contest, was raucous. thousands of irish fans have travelled to get behind their man. mayweather at 40 is 11 years older and has come out of retirement and mcgregor has vowed to knock him out. that's the worst shape i've ever seen him. he looks blown out of shape. trust me on that. there was a lot of talk about you having trouble making weight, but you did not?|j lot of talk about you having trouble making weight, but you did not? i am a professional, it is sacrificed,

dedication, focus. i make it. i am in peak physical condition. as eve ryo ne in peak physical condition. as everyone can tell, i am ready. dark my words. ijust everyone can tell, i am ready. dark my words. i just want to everyone can tell, i am ready. dark my words. ijust want to thank everyone can tell, i am ready. dark my words. i just want to thank the fans. i my words. i just want to thank the fans. lam my words. i just want to thank the fans. i am not really worried about the scale, all the last time. this will be conor mcgregor's last fight. we will see that fight live. england won the women's cricket world cup last month, this evening in belfast the red roses play in the final of the rugby world cup. but standing in the way are new zealand, the number one ranked team in the world. the black ferns are four time champions and beat england in three finals in a row between 2002 and 2010. england are champions though, which makes tonight's match at the kingspan stadium a fitting climax to the tournament. yes, iam pretty yes, i am pretty excited by the goal that we have waited for for so long.

the ambition for three years. to get this far north going, it has been our goal all season. it is finally here. it's a big day in ruby league as hull fc take on wigan warriors at wembley in the challenge cup final. when the two teams met under the wembley arches in 2013, wigan ground out a 16—0 victory. but today could spell history in the making for both sides. hull are looking to retain the trophy, while wigan are aiming to secure it for the 20th time. we can talk now to former leeds rhinos and england captain kevin sinfield, who's in our london newsroom. you won back—to—back cup not so long ago, what is it going to take? -- cups. two teams steeped in history in the challenge. 23 winds between them. hull heartbeat them. hull —— in the challenge. 23 winds between them. hull —— have beaten wigan twice. it is going to be an absolute

cracker. hull were seeminglyjinxed at wembley. they won't have to worry about that now? i think they might have been... i have lost five far north myself, hull will be free today. they will be relaxed and looking forward to it. i think we have got some really big game experience in there, guys who have won the trophy a number of times. i am really looking forward to getting out there. the fans are going to come out and make a real spectacle and a real occasion for the players. two key players are the captains, gareth bale retires at the end of the year, one of the most respected players in the world. sean 0'loughlin, very similar, very decorated and well respected. that will have a huge bearing on where

the trophy ends up. yes, it has a huge bearing on a play‘s career to do well at wembley. wigan's identity asa do well at wembley. wigan's identity as a club has been really tied up in this? yes, they have won 19 of the challenge cup trophy before. there is something about wembley and wigan, itjust is something about wembley and wigan, it just seems is something about wembley and wigan, itjust seems to is something about wembley and wigan, it just seems to fit. is something about wembley and wigan, itjust seems to fit. we had an absolutely magnificent player in his wigan career. there is a lot of history here, a lot of great things working in wigan's says. it is an intriguing far north. two teams on the top of the game, there will both be looking to get some silverware. yes, it should be an intriguing far

north. it will be across —— you can watch the challenge cup final on bbc1. all the build up from 2. the second test between england and the west indies looks a much tighter affair. england won by an innings in the first test but were bowled out for just 258 at headingly. the windies shannon gabriel took four wickets, including alastair cook for just 11. kemar roach also took four wickets. the skipper, joe root, was dropped early on, but went on to make another half century before being caught out on 59. ben stokes was also dropped a couple of times too but held the england innings together with a century before he too fell. they took one windies wicket before the close though, the tourists will resume on 19—1 later this morning. jimmy said there was a lot on offer

for him. we got a few chances tonight. we were really good out there, playing attacking shots. looking just to get through the night. when tomorrow comes around, hopefully we will get a few more chances. after the summer break, formula one is back and lewis hamilton, in his 200th grand prix, looks like the man to beat in belgium. the three time world champion was fastest in second practice at spa yesterday in his mercedes, nearly half a second quicker than championship leader sebastian vettel. if hamilton seals pole this afternoon — he'll equal the record of 68 set by michael schumacher. england's men have lost their semi—final at the euro hockey championship in amsterdam. they were beaten 3—1 against the netherlands. the hosts will now go on to face belgium in sundays final, whilst england play germany in the third place playoff. england's women face the same opposition in their bronze medal match this afternoon. plenty of football over the weekeknd of course, manchester united and huddersfield will be looking to make it three wqins out of three. united are at home to leicester,

newly promoted huddersfield host southampton. the lunchtime kick—off is on the south coast, bournemouth are one of the five teams that have lost both their games so far this season, and they have got a tough match against manchester city. as long as the team can play the football they want to play, they had a fantastic season last season. defeats sometimes can happen. but thatis defeats sometimes can happen. but that is just in the beginning. defeats sometimes can happen. but that isjust in the beginning. i know it will be complicated. all the fixtures and match previews are on the bbc sport website including all the scottish prmiership news, champions celtic are at home to stjohnstone. the vuelta espana, the tour of spain continues with chris froome in the leader's red jersey. the four—time tour de france winner finished safely in the peleton in yesterday's seventh stage into the city of cuenca. he holds a slender 11 second lead in the general classification as he aims to win the race for the first time and become only

the third man to complete the tour de frnace and vuelta double in the same year. later today, chris and gabby adcock will play for a place in the final of the world badminton championships in glasgow. the fifth seeds came from a set down to beat their opponents from hong kong yesterday. with no bronze medal match though, the british pair know that whatever happens in their semi final against the world number ones from china, they'll be guaranteed a medal. and finally congratulations to laura and jason kenny — who are celebrating the arrival of theirfirst child. the olympic champions shared a picture of their new family on social media saying, "welcome to the world little albert louie kenny. you kept us waiting a week, but it was all worth it." that is great news.

you see all walks of life coming in to get a tattoo, bankers, lawyers, doctors. we're making a lasting mark in singapore. it's art, and it's beautiful art at that. first this week, we're visiting this small country with a big history and sites stating all the way back to the bronze age. people there are hoping that ancient past will pull in today's tourists. we sent amanda ruggieri to lake 0hrid in macedonia to find out more. this mostly rural country has drawn people and empires for thousands of years. the ancient persians conquered this area, so did alexander the great. so i arrived into macedonia late last night. it is a landlocked little

country in the balkans, so i drove 3.5 hours through mountains and forests. but i didn't see a single body of water. until i drove over a hill and found myself here at lake 0hrid, one of the most beautiful lakes i think i've ever seen. this is the oldest lake in europe. the area around it is old as well. even the town of 0hrid even was a town at the time that king alexander the great was king in the fourth century bc. that ancient history is one of the main reasons visitors love to come here. most of the tourists want to experience the engine thing, to see the culture here. what about as a local, as a macedonian, what does the history here mean to you? the history, i actually love the history. in the same time i'm feeling

so proud about my history. i've got a sense of this lake's extraordinary history from its surface. hello! hi, nice to meet you. nice to meet you! a little diving today? yes, please. come on. but to really go in search of lake 0hrid's ancient roots, i have to get a little wet. you are ready? come on, follow me. so we're going to be diving on an archaeological site? yeah, exactly. underwater? exactly, exactly. so it's notjust your normal typical everyday dive, it's like something more on top of that. including a lot of interesting artefacts and objects which are more than 3000 years old. we don't have to go far to find traces of 0hrid's ancient history underwater. with the water so still and clear, diving here is so relaxing,

but i almost swim right by without even noticing the first artefacts. jovan has to point them out to me. but when i look, i see they look like the stumps of trees. these are wooden pylons that in a stroke of bronze age ingenuity, once held up houses built on a platforms over the water. in fact, archaeologists have found 6000 remains of these wooden pylons in the lake. jovan also points out some other object and it's obvious they aren't just the normal debris that you would expect to see in the lake bottom. this artefact is probably something used to drink from, all right, so as you can see there is a really small handle right here, ergonomically made, right? sojudging by this,

if you can see... can i hold it? please do, careful. wow. you can see some shells around it. still wet from our dive. that's the most perfect little handle! so, it's kind of interesting to see how they used to do these things. you think this would have been a cup to drink out of? most probably, yes, yes. wow. and the last one is the stone axe. this is the front part. as fascinating as it is to discover, and even touch artefacts from 0hrid's ancient past, it is still difficult to picture what life would have been like here some 3000 years ago. this is where this reconstructed bronze age settlement comes in. called the bay of the bones, the settlement has 24 houses built on a wooden platform over the lake.

lake 0hrid and the area are considered so special, they even have been listed as a world heritage site by unesco. and 0hrid has another big draw for visitors around the world, too. the annual 0hrid summer festival has hosted musicians, actors and singers from more than 60 different countries. 0ur concerts are full and this year we have more than 350 artists playing and acting here. we have 33 concerts, ballet performances, and nine drama shows. the venues used for the 0hrid summer festival are all historic sites. that includes this ancient roman amphitheatre. we have this marvellous stage also in the amphitheatre, made 2000 years before our era. is there is something really special about performing in an amphitheatre like this or in an 11th century church? possibly dating all the way back to the ninth century, 0hrid's church of saint sofia is one of the most important buildings in all of macedonia.

today, its interior is covered with glorious byzantine frescoes, painted between the 11th and 13th centuries. on a night like this, when a pianist is performing here for the festival, the combination of 0hrid's history, art and music is intoxicating. it is easy to see why locals are hopeful that more and more visitors will fall in love with this area and its history. you know, it's rare that a lot of our local tattoo community comes together, congregated in one area in one spot. these are very talented individuals and, you know, it's art, and it's beautiful art at that. i guess i'm one of the most

well—known tattooists in the world. i've been travelling for about ten years now, tattooing just anybody that i can. it's so intimate. tattooing is really intimate, because you're dealing with touching people and it is one—on—one for so long, it's just an intimate thing. it's overwhelming getting a lot of attention, you know what i mean? this is a very significant event for the tattooing community, especially in singapore. we've come up from an era of back in the day where tattoos might have had a bit of negative connotation. there are still a few barriers and the stigma is still kind of there. so doing an event like this is reallyjust trying to remove all that. the people in singapore associate

tattooing with negativity like being a triad and mostly bad stuff. but now we are opening up, you see all walks of life coming in to get a tattoo, bankers, lawyers, doctors, you know. people are opening up to it quite a lot more and i think that's a good thing. we are looking for the quality of work. the points are given in each individual details. for example, for colours, we make sure they are bright and solid and the blends are smooth. for black and grey, of course we're looking at the design,

the depth, the detail. the individual creation from the artist. a good tattoo on the individual body, you're not only going to attract more people looking at you, you will also help the wearer to have a better self—confidence. unfortunately, i have never been satisfied for the things i've done. as long as my client likes it, they are happy about it for many years, it is fine with me. the greatest part of going to conventions is i am able to draw tattoos all over the world, my name, and a piece of myself, my soul, and it lives there until the person passes, you know. and that's it for this week's

travel show, but coming up next week: carmen begins becoming a journey through japan. tackling the flavours that locals love but visitors might find a bit of a challenge. a bit like an oyster, really salty but the consistency... bleugh! join us next week for that if you can, but if you can't wait until then, sign up to our social media feeds. the details are on the screen now. but from me, henry golding, and the rest of the travel show team here in singapore, it is goodbye. hello this is breakfast, with charlie stayt and rachel burden. hurricane harvey hits land as the texas coast takes a battering. it's the biggest storm the us has

faced in more than a decade. winds of up to 130 miles an hour have forced thousands of residents to flee. there are downed trees, downed power lines, all the worst things of a bad storm coming together to make this historic. in the past few hours president trump has officially
