freezing so crisp fresh start to sunday morning, quite the breeze blowing especially in the south—west, showers of scotland and northern ireland gradually easing, showers will be fewer in number, some afternoon showers in the far east of england but full many a lovely but cold autumn day. hello. this is bbc news with me, shaun ley. the headlines. the conservative mp for dover, charlie elphicke, has been suspended by the party after it said "serious allegations" had been passed to the police. he denies any wrongdoing. political parties are considering how to strengthen codes of conduct for mps, as the westminster harassment scandal deepens. one conservative backbencher has likened the current atmosphere to a "witch hunt". police in new york say they have a viable case against the hollywood producer, harvey weinstein. an actress has accused him of raping her seven years ago.

the white house has downplayed a major report on climate change compiled by us government scientists. the report says it is "extremely likely" that human activity is the "dominant cause" of global warming. and only half of the fixed speed cameras in the uk are actually switched on, according to data obtained by a freedom of information request. road safety campaigners have described the situation as "co more about those stories at the top of the hour. now on bbc news, it's time for the travel show. this week on the show: beefed up security in the city of love. i don't think there has been a time when we have felt u nsafe. birthday celebrations in the basque country. bilbao is beautiful, bilbao is ready for the future. and how to stay in london for a tenner a night. first today we are in paris.

for 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 is 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 fall in love with paris, the city is spectacular and is crammed with iconic sites but last year the french capital saw a drop in visitor numbers of around 1.5 million. the decline in numbers was mostly blamed on high profile terror incidents, including charlie hebdo and the november 2015 attacks at the bataclan and across the city. visits from italians fell by over a quarter in 2016. and a staggering 41% fewerjapanese tourists took trips last year, according to official statistics. all this has had a real impact on the local economy, particularly for businesses in the areas near the attacks. i have come to meet robin greiner, the manager of l'ami pierre. his bistro is a short distance from la belle equipe, the restaurant where 19 diners were killed during the attack two years ago.

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 dip in tourist numbers for you? 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 d'or, one of the most exclusive areas in paris, to meet george foster, managing of a company that offers personal bodyguards for clients in cities around the world. what kinds of people do you have on your client list? that can range from foreign royals to individuals from the corporate business to music and film stars. do you ever get your average joe wanting your services? it does happen. terrorism is in the forefront of

everyone's mind so it is something people react to and consequently it is not a cheap service but 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 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 the mayor's office has published a 50—point plan to lure back tourists.

to reverse falling numbers but to become the most visited city in the it is currently in third place behind 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 temporary barriers but construction on a 2.5 metre glass high wall to protect tourists. the walls will be bullet proof and will stop vehicles from being able to drive onto the site as well. other cities are following suit, to protect tourists and other attractions. temporary areas were installed on bridges in london and

the spanish government promised to ramp up protection in barcelona. it really does not take long to spot an increased police presence here in are these measures helping to reassure tourists about there has not been a time where we felt unsafe and we have seen the green berets.m affects the way i see masses so i in the street i have been, you see a lot of military which helps you calm down. 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. older attractions renovated and new attractions. these will become a so far improvements

and investments seem to be working. statistics for the first half of 2017 showed paris is on track to reverse the downward statistics. will this be enough to take the title of most visited city in the world? you can bet bangkok and london will be watching very closely. we are heading to the middle east next where this week we are heading to the middle east next where this week's global gourmet is cooking up something spicy in bahrain. i am the chef and owner of the cafe of the national museum. today i will cook something dear to my heart, a local dish, a curry which is basically a distillation of all the cultures of that have met through different trade routes on the island. it is usually made

with many things but today we are focusing on seafood and i have chosen a very local white fish that everybody loves and we cook in a variety of ways but this is my way. i'm going to add the ghee, clarified butter, to make the masala i'm going to prepare the spice mix, add a local spice mix, tumeric, some cumin,

some madras curry powder, an import that is a favourite here. give it a quick mix, a little bit of ghee, some chilli powder, a nice bright red. i'm adding in the spice mix to the pace. i will pour some stock. this is a traditional cooking pot. the fish is a local fish. there you have it, a local dish. still to the fish is a local fish.

there you have it, a local dish. still to come... have it, a local dish. simon is back having a look through his travel inbox. this time how to stay in london for less. and can you take your own booze on a cruise? and we are in northern spain as one of its best—known landmarks celebrates its 20th birthday. cannot believe this. i do not i cannot believe this. i do not believe i've seen so many people in one place. the travel show, your essential guide wherever you are headed. welcome to the slice of the show that tackles your questions about travel. coming up, a place to stay in london

for less than £10 per person per night and the tricky business of bringing your alcohol on board a cruise ship. firstly travel to the chinese capital. beijing giant chinese capital is becoming easier. beijing giant shanghai in offering a transit permit that allows visitors to stay 144 hours so long as they meet the right conditions. you must fly in or arrive by train from a country directly outside china. surprisingly, hong kong is allowed. you are not allowed to stray too far from the capital although a stretch on the great wall is allowed. next, . .. where can i go that has decent weather?

one country stands out, tunisia is where you will find winter sunshine and a deep and fascinating history and friendly welcoming people. since the terrorist attack in the south in 2015, this nation was a no—go list for tourists but it is now open for business once more. base yourself at a resort and use the excellent rail system. you may want to explore the desert landscape so consider signing up for a trip into the sahara as well as a visit to one of the holiest islamic shrines but check the latest advice before you book and travel. next... from india, vijay asks... accommodation is the big problem, central london is one of the world's more expensive places to find a hotel. but happily, at some hostels, a family of six can

stay for less than £10 per person per night which try to stay close to a tube station you can travel on the world's oldest underground railway to explore the capital with the benefit of up to four children under 11 can travel in with a farepaying travel across or not. london has some of the world's most family friendly museums and the majority are free. doug is planning a cruise with p and o and wants to know, can you take alcohol on board. cruise lines make very good profits from selling alcohol on board and therefore many are like reluctant to let you bring more than a single bottle of wine. happily, some of them are more relaxed,

including p and o cruises. they say: so what constitutes a small, reasonable amount? a case may encounter problems. but picking up a bottle or two at ports of call is perfectly acceptable. you can even take wine into the restaurant and pay a corkage fee of £15. which can work out a good deal compared with on board prices. whether you are contemplating a trip to the nation next door or the ends of the earth, i'm here to help. so e—mail your question. i will do my best to find you an answer. from me, simon calder, the guru, see you next time. to spain next and bilbao on its northern coast is celebrating something of an anniversary this year. 20 years ago, one controversial building appeared that would utterly change the town's fortu nes forever. we sent keith wallace to the basque country to see the birthday celebrations. it's been

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 big name art and architecture, and people started coming into hundreds of thousands every year. but first and foremost they came to the from titanium limestone and glass, 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 it in these titanium sheets and we're only half a millimetre which creates a kind of rumpled organic effect. they say it looks white fish scales but it also looks like they have wrapped the building in tinfoil. it looks like a round of sandwiches.

inside, the permanent collection now jean michel basquiat and 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 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 how were you feeling? it was an exciting moment to see the museum was finally going to be opened to the port was already leaving this space 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 sort of a scar in the middle of the city.

what would bilbao be like if you sucked the guggenheim out? difficult to say, a different city for sure, we know who displayed the city and more cosmopolitan and open city. bilbao actually has two big landmarks and the other one tells a this is the vizcaya 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 of... that is the port of bilbao and that is the bay of biscay and in 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. maria worked in a factory in the pre— guggenheim years but these days she runs free tours around places like the old quarter for no other reason than her love for her city. are you going to do this? i am feeding the this is the game of the frog, a basque thing. on its mouth, don't last one. what did you make of the plans of the guggenheim when you first saw them more those years ago? well, we were told that 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 how is a museum going to drive the 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 here, 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 all in one place. it demonstrates how big a deal this has been. they estimate around half a million people turned out over the four days and in a city of 350,000, that is quite a few extra bodies. come on, let's get settled and get the best seats in the house. 0k, 0k. 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 did the show make you feel about bilbao now? i am really 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 the city is much more than the guggenheim, especially the people. impressive stuff from bilbao where the guggenheim is marking its 20th anniversary. that's all we have time for, but coming up next week: 100 years

since the united states entered the world war i, ade travels south of washington, dc and discovers 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 were involved in saving the world from totalitarianism. so dojoin us 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 signing up to our from me and the rest of the team here in paris, goodbye. hello, a sulky start but brighter
