security in the city of love. there has not been at time when we have felt u nsafe. has not been at time when we have felt unsafe. birthday celebrations in the basket country. we are ready for the future. and how to stay in london for a tenner a night. first today we are in paris. the decades, the french capital has been one of the most popular travel destinations in the world. the city tops many people's travel bucket list and there are no shortage of

reasons why people are drawn here. you have to visit paris, the river, everything, the history. romance, the atmosphere, the history, the culture. the food, the people, the culture, the arts. it is really not difficult to see why people all in love with paris, the city is spectacular and crammed with iconic sites but last year the french capital saw a drop of around 1.5 million visitors. the decline in numbers of was mostly blamed on high profile terrorist issues including the attacks at bataclan and across the attacks at bataclan and across the city. and the charlie hebdo incidents. a staggering a1% fewer

japanese tourists took trips last year, according to official statistics. all these has had a real impact on the local economy, particularly the businesses in the areas near the attacks. i have come to meet the manager of this bistro, a short distance from the restaurant we re a short distance from the restaurant were 19 and diners were killed during the attack. what happened here on the night of the attack? being so close to the attacks has

had a long—lasting impact on his business. was there a noticeable deepin business. was there a noticeable deep in tourist numbers are you? —— dip. have you changed anything about your business, your approach, since that time? high—profile headlines about the

city have led some tourists to take extreme measures to help them feel safe when visiting. i have come to the triangle door, one of the most exclusive areas in paris to meet george, managing of a company that offers personal bodyguards for clients in cities around the world. what kind of people gear have on your client list? eu range from foreign royals to corporate business to music and film stars. do you ever get your averagejoe to music and film stars. do you ever get your average joe wanting to music and film stars. do you ever get your averagejoe wanting your services? that has happened. terrorism is in the forefront of

everyone's mind so it is something people react to and consequently they require our services. it is not cheap what we are very competitive asa cheap what we are very competitive as a company within the sector and you very much get what you pay for. why has your company recently opened a new office in paris? we were experiencing a high volume of enquiries, all the way back to the charlie hebdo incident and things that were shown in the media. charlie hebdo incident and things that were shown in the medial personal bodyguard is clearly beyond most of our travel budget and statistically the chance of being involved in a terrorist incident is extremely low but the city is going to great efforts to make tourists feel safe. the mayor has published a 59 point plan to lure back tourists. the reverse falling numbers but to become the most visited city in the

world. it is currently in third place hide bangkok and london. as well as improvements such as better lighting and clean the streets, measures are put in place to improve security across the city. the most high profile project is at the eiffel tower. access is currently restricted by these pretty ugly barriers but construction on a 2.5 metre glass high ball to protect tourists with bullet proof walls stopping vehicles from being able to drive onto the site as well. other cities are following suit, to protect tourists and hear attractions. temporary areas were installed on bridges in london and the spanish government promised to mmp the spanish government promised to ramp up protection in barcelona. it really does not take long to spot an increased police presence here in paris. are these measures are

helping to reassure tourists about their safety? there has not been a time where we failed unsafe and we have seen the green berets. time where we failed unsafe and we have seen the green beretsm affects the way i see masses so i tried to avoid them. in the street i have been a uci lot of military which helps you come down. —— you see. as i walk, i feel more comfortable though it is at the back of your mind. millions of euros are being invested in the battle to become the number one tourist attraction. renovations and new attractions. these will become a state—of—the—art theme park. so far improve it and investments seem to be working. statistics for the first

two decades since the guggenheim museum appeared in the spanish port city of bilbao. its arrival kickstarted the transformation of a declining industrial town into the home of nickname art and and people started coming into hundreds of thousands every year. but first and foremost they came to the guggenheim. from titanium limestone and class, the building is supposed to look completely different from whichever angle you see it. part of the reason the building looks so striking is that they have —— clad in these titanium sheets and we're only half a millimetre which creates the kind of rumpled organic effect. they say it looks white fish scales but it also looks like they have cracked the building in tinfoil. it looks like a rounded sandwich. inside, the permanent collection now host works from artists like andy warhol, sean michel basquiat and pycroft. —— gene. this is an

adventure. i wasn't expecting this. where are you taking me. —— mark rothko. but the favourite of the man who was from this place from the beginning is this. it reflects very well the spirit of this museum. it isa well the spirit of this museum. it is a work which was done specifically for the space. it is also, it gives you the possibility of experience in time as you walk through them. described to me what it was like in 97 when this was opening. how are you feeling? an exciting moment to see the museum was finally going to be opened to the public and be visited. the port was already living this piece because they were expanding into the harbour this is mostly marginal space, not really open, but it was really open to the city centre and thought of a scar in the middle of the city. what would bilbao be like if you suck the guggenheim out? difficult to say, a different city

the shore, we know who displayed the city and more cosmopolitan and open city. bilbao actually has two big landmarks and the other one tells a story about what the city used to be. this is the sky bridge which was completed in 1893 and was the world's first transporter bridge, designed to use a hanging gondola to get you across the river. the results are a great view from the top. it is considered the most important industrial monument in spain. it is unesco listed because of its beauty and functionality. but from the top, from this walkway, you get a sense that that is the port of bilbao that is the bay of biscay and the old days, the port used to run all the way down this bankside to several miles long. it was the biggest port in spain, the big spain of its day. very different bilbao

from what we have today. this lady worked in a factory in the pre— guggenheim years but these days she runs tours around places like the old quarter are no other reason than her love for her city. are you going to do this? i am feeding the frog. this is the game of the frog, a busk thing. on its mouth, don't spin it. that's one. what did you make of the plans of the guggenheim when you first saw the more those yea rs when you first saw the more those years ago? well, we were told that the guggenheim was going to drive the guggenheim was going to drive the economy of the place. at that time, we couldn't understand what they meant by that. and we said it was a museum going to drive the economy of a place? no way! so we we re

economy of a place? no way! so we were demonstrating against the construction of the museum, but the reality after 20 years is that the city is much better. we are happy. and, yes, the museum put the name of bilbao on the map. as a thank you to the people hear the museum has been putting on something of a show during its anniversary week. i don't think i've ever seen so many people in one place. it demonstrates how big of a deal this has been. they estimate around half a million people turned out over the four days and in the city of 350,000, but is quite a few extra bodies. come on, let's get settled and get the best seats in the house. ok, ok. the show traces two decades of the town's history from the end of its industry to its rebirth as a centre of creativity and it features one of

its most famous residents. the spider! the mother! the spider! what the scene that make you feel about bilbao now? over a proud of my city and i think that with this kind of show, it is proving that the difficult times... throw—in all the factories were closed, right now i can tell you that bilbao is beautiful, bilbao is ready for the future, but it isn't only the guggenheim, the one is much more than the guggenheim, especially the people. impressive stuff from bilbao we re people. impressive stuff from bilbao were the guggenheim is marking its 20th anniversary. that's all we have time for a coming up next week: 100

yea rs time for a coming up next week: 100 years since the united states and the world war i, which rebel south of washington, dc and discover the ghost fleet of the potomac. and the remains of the ships that helped win the war. it's pretty cool to be able to touch something that is a part of american history and this wreck is nearly 100 years old. these ships we re nearly 100 years old. these ships were involved in saving the world from totalitarianism. so do the onus thenif from totalitarianism. so do the onus then if you can and in the meantime don't forget you can keep up with us while we are out on the world in real—time by searching up to our social media feeds. details are on the screen. from me and off the rest of the team here in paris, goodbye. hello once again.

the weekend is upon us, let us see if the weather is going to fit in with your plans, whatever they may be. the weekend certainly turning colder eventually across all parts of the british isles. eventually many of us will get to sunny spells and showers, but for some we'll have to contend with a rather wet start to the weekend, especially so across england and wales because yes we have the weather front getting in across scotland and northern ireland, but i suspect it's this cloud coming in from the south that will be the thing that many of you notice first up as the two weather systems combine to produce just a lot of rain across a good part of england and wales to start off the day. especially here concentrated down through lincolnshire, east anglia and into the east midlands, parts of the south—east and away across the channel. further to the west, the rain becoming a wee bit more patchy and you've really got to get up into scotland or northern ireland to see a brighter start to the day,

a glorious start i would have thought in the eastern side of scotland but from the word go, showers aplenty in northern and western parts of scotland and into the western side of northern ireland. slowly, oh, so slowly, as we get on through the morning towards lunchtime, into the early part of the afternoon, yes, it will be that late until we see the last of that persistent rain getting towards the east anglia coast and getting away from kent. with somewhat brighter skies following in towards the midlands and across the south—west as well, where we will keep a peppering of showers for a good portion of the evening, so if you've got plans for bonfires and fireworks, across many northern and western parts, you'll have to contend with quite a noticeable wind, so safety first of course, and the peppering of showers, drier i would think further east and this is how we start sunday.

the showers there in northern and western parts but you get the sense there are fewer of them. if you're holding off with your firework plans until sunday evening, many more of you i think will be dry by this stage although there will be a few showers flirting with the eastern shores. underneath the clearing skies, a widespread frost to start the new day on monday, certainly in the countryside, but there is a sign of a change. after that dry enough start for many parts of the british isles, eventually we”ll bring weather systems in from the atlantic so it's a combination not only of wet weather but also quite windy weather getting into northern and western scotland through northern ireland. generally speaking the further south and east you are the drier, finer and brighter the day will be. hello, this is breakfast, with naga munchetty and jon kay. new claims about the conduct of mps swirl around westminster. the conservatives suspend charlie elphicke and refer what are described as serious allegations about him to the police. the mp says he's done nothing wrong. and three labour mps all dispute complaints made about their behaviour
