after the vote to leave the eu. the times claims a defence minister is threatening to quit, if the military is forced to impose more cost cutting measures, including reducing the army to below 70,000 soldiers. the mail headlines movement in the brexit negotiations, with the eu signalling it is willing to start talks on a possible trade—deal after the latest talks with theresa may. the telegraph cites a new report that says one in five women won't become a mother, as childlessness has doubled within a generation. and the express writes that winds from the arctic will descent on the uk this weekend, with temperatures hitting as low as minus six. now on bbc news, the travel show. 20 years ago dubai set out to become

one of the most talked about towns in the world. since then this young city state, one of seven emirates in the uae, has largely succeeded. it's become one of the fastest growing tourist destinations on the planet. synonymous with spectacular skyscrapers, gigantic shopping walls and high—end hospitality and also the occasional stories of tourists who fall foul of local customs. but scratch deeper and there much more to this place. no longer be brash new kid on the block, dubai is now an established hub and one of the world's truly global cities. and although the impulse to impress is still here, there's now a complex identity taking shape and i'm here

to see how that is changing the book and feel of dubai, its people and its future. aviation is at the very heart of dubai's growth. geographically blessed between east and west with the vast indian subcontinent on its doorstep and an ambitious national carrier, it is reckoned that over 40% of the world's population lives within four hours flying time of dubai. 20 years ago, dubai within four hours flying time of dubai. 20 years age, dubai airport was something of an aviation back water. today they say they handle more international passengers than anywhere else in the world. a couple of years back, we were

looking ahead and seeing the 5 million number. now we consider 5 million number. now we consider 5 million as very mild traffic. in august, we broke our record of more than 8 million per month. the numbers may have grown at an iowa watering rate, but this is basically a city airport and that's —— as that city has grown land has become scarce. so the usual solution of building bigger isn't an option. you could say the airport has become a victim of its own success. the solution? investing in new technology to cope with the project did 100 million passengers who they reckon will pass through here by 2020. all co—ordinated hearing this new airport operations centre, which they say is the largest in the world. we have infrared motion

sensors in the ceiling to detect any movement of passengers. and they can tell each individual person, separate them? they can separate. 0nce separate them? they can separate. once the passenger enters the queue, the white dot turns into a red dot. airport staff can access real—time data about passenger numbers everywhere in the terminals. the data helps predict potential surges that could shut the whole process down, but they insist it doesn't identify individual passengers. 0k it's going to be busy here in the next ten minutes. we need to get more desks open. how are you? go—ahead. more desks open. how are you? go-ahead. what is happening at the airport is symptomatic of the city. it has successes but there are challenges as the demands on dubai's

infrastructure has grown. congestion can be the bane of this city, where the car is king, but the solution lies through more innovation. following trials in america, dubai says it has plans to build a super fast hyperloop between here and abu dhabi and they reckon this could be the only place in the world where you will soon be able to hail your own flying taxi. there's also a drive you to encourage the use of sustainable energy, ikea on the public beach, with this futuristic looking solar palm trees. those other the panel soaking up the rays. more importantly there is free wi—fi and with this greed you can check the weather, exchange rates and really useful eon holiday you can ta ke really useful eon holiday you can take selfies. but what i like most of all is that you can just sit down

here, take in the views and charge your phone. check your e—mails and whatever else, all thanks to the power of the sun. with the massive world expo coming here in 2020, the language of developers has moved on from bigger is better to finding new ways to add value to their tall towers, by making many of them attractions in their own right. this complex of apartments, townhouses and a hotel is due to be finished by next year. it is being built by the same group who came up with the iconic burj khalifa nearby, which just happens to be the world's tallest structure. it's pretty early in the morning and it's already very hot. i can imagine 22 people in these things going up and down all these things going up and down all the time. it can't be easy and the

temperatures gets hotter, the humidity gets worse as the day goes on. look at that view. that's just incredible. look at that. i've got to say, i'm feeling a little bit dd. it's quite high up. you get accustomed to it. you get used to it? do you want us to look down? on floors 52 and 53 is the showpiece of this project. it is quite astounding to think that this bridge section which connects the two towers started life on the ground and was then hoisted 200 metres up into the air. just give you an idea of the scale of that, this section weighs more than fully laden a380 super jumbojet. more than fully laden a380 super jumbo jet. what a feat of

engineering at! and for the super adventurous you will be able to harness up and get views from the air. you will experience walking all the way out with unhindered views over to the harbour. so it's a new addition, a new visitor observation experience that we don't have in dubai or even in the region. 4000 people are working on this site on 12 hour shifts. construction here is 20 47 and if an internationally stuffed project. but as ever be dubai construction industry relies heavily on migrant labour from dubai construction industry relies heavily on migrant labourfrom south asia, brought in from living quarters outside the city. it is

ha rd to quarters outside the city. it is hard to believe that 15 years ago this downtown area was pretty well empty. today they like to think of it as the most prestigious square kilometre in the world. but isn't there a limit to this boulder, bigger and better aspirations? you buy is famous for being the city of superlatives. the tallest, the biggest. is there any more to it than that? yes, there is that perception, however we as developers a lwa ys perception, however we as developers always look to show, where it can be always look to show, where it can be a value? what is unique? it's not just about bragging rights, it's about the quality. there's a lot of thought going into the developments we choose. all of this may never convince those who think of dubai as a vapid shrine to consumption and u nfettered a vapid shrine to consumption and unfettered growth. but whatever your views on its addiction to record—breaking construction, it's

also a calling carfor the emirate. the very reason why many people come here in the first place, which gives ita here in the first place, which gives it a business rationale too. and if you think you've seen it all, think again. the so—called city of superlatives is about to surpass itself with this massive project. and the centrepiece? this incredible construction which will become the tallest tower in the world. as ever, the scale of ambition is breathtaking, but subtlety and understatement has never been dubai's strong suit. and for the ultimate proof of that, what about atla nta's resort ultimate proof of that, what about atlanta's resort on the palm island, where, if you can afford it, you will get an on—call at low 24 hours a day and a luxurious room with a unique view. hello! nice to meet

you. but like? please, show me around. —— my butler? iam presuming i am presuming he doesn't live there permanently. mind you, it does sound like it has to be on standby at all times, like danesh himself. to be honest, the guests to stay in this kind of sweet are rich and wealthy and they just kind of sweet are rich and wealthy and theyjust don't want kind of sweet are rich and wealthy and they just don't want to kind of sweet are rich and wealthy and theyjust don't want to wait for

things to delay. for example, sometimes they might ask you, 0k, things to delay. for example, sometimes they might ask you, ok, i wa nt to sometimes they might ask you, ok, i want to see the diver coming when i have breakfast. because when she wa kes have breakfast. because when she wakes up, the first thing is she wa nts to wakes up, the first thing is she wants to see it, so we have to wait until she wakes up. so we will make it happen somehow. but not everyone can it happen somehow. but not everyone ca n afford it happen somehow. but not everyone can afford to or indeed wants to enjoy this level of indulgence. just maybe bigger, better and boulder isn't everyone's cup of tea, which ta kes isn't everyone's cup of tea, which takes us to paradigms shift i think is taking in dubai. away from mega— luxury towards more authentic pleasures, which may help in changing the perception of the emirate as a mere three—day stopover destination, or even blinged up blow out for the world's rich and famous.

this is the creek, the real heart of old dubai, and gorgeous in this light. this used to be a real trading hub for the city and the kind of boat you see behind me bring in spices and other goods from countries like india, iran and much further afield. this is my personal favourite this is my personalfavourite part of dubai, the old town. you get a real sense of the past. as a contrast to the skyscrapers and shopping maul downtown. what is this? cinnamon. this is tymrak. ——

turmeric. for the face massage. this isa turmeric. for the face massage. this is a long piece of wood, what is it? scissors. what is the difference, thatis scissors. what is the difference, that is bigger. frankly, if i hadn't stopped him i think he would take me through every single spice in the shop. this is for smoking and this soup. of course if you are into bullying you have to go too far to find that here. —— bling. but to find that here. —— bling. but to find authentic art and craft 21st century style, you will need to head to be flourishing al-qus district.

this is calligraphiti, a mixture of calligraphy and graffiti, and is the trademark of a artist who has taken... taken his artform to world including this project in cairo. so what is he doing in dubai? for me, dubai isa what is he doing in dubai? for me, dubai is a new city, i look at it, i try to get a different view to it, a lot of people come from outside say it is fake, you are an artist, how could you be here? thermae there is this kind of growing art scene, there is a growing art community. as an artist it is good to see that i am part of this, i am an artist it is good to see that i am part of this, iam part an artist it is good to see that i am part of this, i am part of making am part of this, i am part of making a change and making this movement.

ifi a change and making this movement. if i can question you won that, it is also a place that is glamorous and wealthy, you have a big expat population, you have some very rich people here. is that inspiring for you? we are here in the middle of the industrial zone that has been turned into this culture and art community. when you cross the street you are near a steel factory. this is the dubai that i want to see. i am not interested in the shiny thing, but some people that they wanted. i think at some point now there is a switch, dubai will show people, this is what we do. some people love paris, i love paris, some people hate paris. some people love new york, some people hate new york. for me it is too

naive. what has been done here in less tha n naive. what has been done here in less than 30 years is exquisite, and i think people should salute that. while the artists are busy feeding the soul, many locals and expats here in dubai are also now keen to exercise their bodies. some of them in the most quintessential emirati locations. you would not normally associate dubai with cycling. writing through the dubai rush hour isa writing through the dubai rush hour is a no—no. but the sport is becoming more popular here, thanks to facilities like this are cycling track. it is long, smooth, purpose built and flat. in a country not famed for its exercise culture, these days many locals are getting into a whole range of sports. and in

case you are wondering, i will leave this to the experts. hi, i am awake border in dubai. —— weight wake board. iam border in dubai. —— weight wake board. i am all about sports a snowboarding, wake boarding, kite surfing, all accessible in dubai. living in the desert, the closest mountain is in lebanon or georgia or something, —— jordan. you mountain is in lebanon or georgia or something, ——jordan. you have the best instructors, you learn how to snowboard here and when you go into any mountain from the alps to colorado, is simple. the younger generation is actually crazy here in dubai. they are crazy when it comes to extreme sports, they are trying to compete more

internationally. it is very nice to see. the vibe of the city is all about working hard, playing hard. you put in so many hours at work, so the little time you have left, you wa nt to the little time you have left, you want to waste it, just lolling around. keen to get another fix of the great outdoors, i am keen to get another fix of the great outdoors, iam heading keen to get another fix of the great outdoors, i am heading out to the desert early in the morning to experience something new, but i am told there could only see here in dubai. —— that i am told you can only see here in dubai. it isa it is a new twist on traditional arabian falconry. but i hear it is

truly breathtaking. 2500 years ago, people relied on falcon is the way we rely on the supermarket. falcons put food on the table. additionally how it worked, birds from europe and asia migrate from the middle east to africa. the migration would be when people capped their falcons and use them for the winter months. at the end of winter they would untie them and released into the wild. it is a beautiful system of borrowing a bird from a and giving them back. —— from the wild. we are about to release 0beron from the basket and i will untie him, he is wearing a transmitter on his tail, that is so icanfind transmitter on his tail, that is so i can find him transmitter on his tail, that is so i canfind him if he transmitter on his tail, that is so i can find him if he flies away, and i will pop his hood off in a second, this device is called the hood, and this device is called the hood, and this good is keeping him calm and relaxed. that comes off, 0k. reddy,

guys? five, four, three, two, one... amazing. good boy. do you want to go? i would love to, amazing. good boy. do you want to go? iwould love to, let's amazing. good boy. do you want to go? i would love to, let's try. 0h, oh, yes. peter has helped to hendry at these birds from birth top and the bond of trust between them is vital. it is clear that to him the falcon's were felt —— welfare is paramount, and months go into training the birds to get them used

to this sights and sounds of the berlin and its passengers. these birds are in good shape... so the birds are in good shape... so the bird is not suffering. absolutely not. what more could you ask for? unique experience, and a beautiful animal. and that ride over dubai's ancient landscape marks the end of my trippier. where i have seen the sharply contrasting old and new worlds of this citystate. i have witnessed again first—hand how the limitless desire to press and amaze the world has not diminished, with expo twenty20 a big incentive for yet more development. this is still a relatively young destination,

almost an ongoing experiment that continues to grab headlines and polarised reaction in equal measure. but i sense that dubai is developing into a complex and intriguing mix of cultures and attitudes, of experiences old and new and forging its own unique personality. that is not to say its reputation as a haven of luxury and access is going to disappear any time soon. let's go! —— xs. disappear any time soon. let's go! __ xs_ __ disappear any time soon. let's go! —— xs. —— excess. hello, there. it's going to be cold this weekend, that's for sure, but many places will stay dry and see plenty

of sunshine, so if you wrap up it won't be that bad. plenty of showers though in the north and west. certainly overnight plenty of showers across the north—west of the uk, with wintriness mixed in, some cumulating snow over the hills, and that will lead to an ice problem in many northern and western areas to start saturday morning. it really will be a cold and frosty start. the wind will be a feature on saturday. that will make it feel colder than it actually is, and there'll be plenty of showers to start saturday morning. even longer spells of rain perhaps across the north and north—east of scotland and into the northern isles, here with gale force winds as well. wintry showers across the west of scotland, into northern ireland and down on the north—west england. snow again on the hills. some of these showers running through the cheshire gap, in towards the midlands already at 9am on saturday morning. plenty of sunshine in the east and south—east, but still a few showers running into west wales, cornwall and devon, so you get the picture. it really will be a cold start, but some areas seeing lots of sunshine. in fact, central, southern and eastern parts of the country will stay dry all day.

lots of sunshine, where showers continue in the northern and western areas, again with snow on the hills. quite blustery as well with those strong north—west winds. we'll see values of 3—7 celsius. add on the wind and it will feel even colder than that. but at least you have the sunshine to compensate further south and east. that's the area of low pressure bringing the gale force winds to the far north—east of the uk. that slowly moves away and we start to see the influence of this area of high pressure from the west, before this weather system moves in during sunday night. so it looks like with that influence of high pressure the showers will ease down somewhat. fewer showers in western areas on sunday. again, there will be a few, with wintriness over high ground, but emphasis on dry and bright weather in northern, central and eastern areas before things turn cloudier across the west, with the arrival of the weather system. so again, it will be another cold day. this weather system is hurtling across the uk on sunday night and by monday morning it will be across southern and eastern part of the uk.

a brief surge of milder air with the rain as it runs across southern areas. behind it, though, sunshine and showers follow on, and again turning cold as arctic air begins to push down from the north. double—figure values for a time on monday morning. you can see the orange colours move away and then a surge of arctic air returns across the uk pretty much throughout the rest of the week. hello, this is breakfast, with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. egypt strikes back after the deadliest terror attack in the country's recent history. at least 235 people were killed at the mosque in north sinai. the military say they've carried out air strikes on those behind the killings. good morning, it's saturday the 25th of november. also this morning:

panic on the streets of central london leaves 16 people injured. police issue pictures of two people they think may have sparked the confusion. a rise in vandalism on cars in england and wales, the rac says its latest figures could be just the tip of the iceberg. in sport, a captain's innings gives australia the edge. steve smith shows why he's the world's number one batsman
