complained about not having enough money and the defence secretary has always had to ask for more money than the chancellor. it actually, —— but actually the national security adviser is saying that the extra money is needed to tackle cyber terrorism which is true, there is a huge threat from russia and elsewhere. except if we are asking for trips elsewhere. this is the issue being raised and it is a big test, just a few weeks into the tenure of gavin williams, the new defence secretary, more interestingly, michael fallon of erstwhile defence secretary, has already said he will speak up about this. didn't have the opportunity for the previous two years, you may ask, but there you go. there are issues and the funding of the defence forces is a big one. that is it for the papers. please observe the conveyor belt. we got their path the conveyor belt. we got their path the midpoint of the circle. don't forget, you can see the front pages of the papers online on the bbc news website. it's all there for you, seven days a week, at bbc.co.uk/papers, and if you miss the programme any

evening, you can watch it later on bbc iplayer. thank you, martin and jane. each 20 years ago to set out to be one of the most talked about towns in the world. since then, this young city states, one of seven emirates in the uae has largely succeeded. it has become one of the fastest—growing tourist destinations the planet. it is synonymous with spectacular skyscrapers, gigantic shopping mall, and high—end hospitality. and also occasional stories of tourists who fall foul of local customs. but

scratch deeper and there is much more to this place. no longer the brash new kid on the block, dubai is an established hub and one of the world's first truly global cities. and although the impulse to impress is still here, there is now a more complex identity taking shape. i am yet to see how it is changing the look and shape of dubai, its people and future. this is the real heart of old dubai. this is to be a trading heart for the city. now, this used to be a real trading hub for the city and the kinds

of boats you can see behind me bring in spices and other goods from countries like india, iran and much further afield. this is my personalfavourite part of dubai, the old town, where you get a real sense of the past. as it's a contrast to the skyscrapers and shopping malls downtown. what is this? this is cinnamon. cinnamon, yeah, i recognised that. very good. this one is turmeric. turmeric, yeah, very good for cooking. this one is for cooking, and this is for the face massage. for the face massage? 0k. and what is this? this is a long piece of wood, what is it? this is more cinnamon! very good! you're testing me, aren't you! tell me the difference, that is bigger? this is bigger and this is smaller. is that it?! laughs frankly, if i hadn't stopped him i think he would've taken me through every single spice in the shop. this one is for smoking and for soup. of course if you're into bling you don't have to go too far to find

that here too. but to find authentic arts and crafts 21st century style, then you'll need to venture even further from the glitz and skyscrapers, and head to be gritty al quoz industrial area, where a flourishing warehouse—based community arts scene has sprung up. this is "calligraffiti", a mixture of traditional arabic calligraphy and graffiti, and it's the signature style of a french—born artist of tunisian origin, who goes by the name of el seed. he'd taken his unique approach to street art around the world with astonishing results, including this monumental project he created in a working—class district of cairo. so what's he doing in dubai? for me, dubai is like, a new city.

i look at it, i try to have a different view to it. a lot of people coming from outside say, "oh, it is fake, you are an artist, how could you be here?" for me, there is this kind of growing art scene, there is a growing art community. as an artist it's always good to see that i am part of this, i am part of making a change and making this movement. if i can question you on 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 cultural and art community. like, when you cross the road you have still factories. this is the dubai that i want to see. i am not interested in the shiny things, that's not for me. but some people that they want it. i think at some point 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 others hate new york. you cannot compare. for me it's too naive. but what i look? yes, what has been done here in less than 30 years is crazy. i think people should just salute that. while the artists there 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. now, you wouldn't normally associate dubai with cycling. in fact, riding through the dubai rush hour is definitely a no—no. but the sport is becoming increasingly popular here, thanks to facilities like this, a cycling track. it's long, smooth, purpose built and flat as a pancake. in a country not famed for its exercise culture, these days many locals are now getting into a whole range of sports. and in case you're wondering, i'm going to leave this one to the experts. hi, i am a wakeboarder in dubai.

i'm all about board sports, so snowboarding, wakeboarding, kite surfing, all accessible in dubai. living in the desert, the closest mountain is in lebanon or georgia or something. you have the best instructors, you learn how to snowboard here and when you go into any mountain from the alps to colorado, it's simple. the younger generation is actually crazy here in dubai. they're crazy when it comes to extreme sports. they're trying to compete more internationally. it's actually really nice to see. the vibe of the city

is all about work hard, play hard. you put in so many hours at work, so the little time you have left, you don't want to waste it just lolling around. keen to get another fix of the great outdoors, i'm now heading out to the desert early in the morning to experience something new, that i am told you can only see here in dubai. it's a new twist on traditional arabian falconry. i hear it's going to be truly breathtaking. 2,500 years ago, people relied on the falcon the way

you and i rely on the supermarket. falcons put food on the table. traditionally the way it worked, birds from europe and asia migrated from the middle east to africa. on that migration they would trap them from the wild and then use them in the winter months. at the end of winter they would untie them and release them into the wild. it is a beautiful system of borrowing a bird from the wild and then giving them back. we are about to release oberon from the basket and i'll untie him. you'll see he's wearing a transmitter on his tail, that's so i can find him if he flies away. i'll pop his hood off in a second. this device is called a hood, and this is keeping him calm and relaxed. that comes off. 0k. ready, guys? five, four, three, two, one... wow!

amazing. hey! good boy. do you want to have a go? i would love to, let's try. oh, yes. peter has helped to hand rear these birds from birth and the bond of trust between them is vital. it's clear that to him the falcon's welfare is paramount, and months go into training the birds to get them used to the sights and sounds of the baloon and its passengers. it's practised.

these birds are in good shape. so the bird is not suffering. absolutely not. what more could you ask for? a unique experience and a beautiful animal. are the ones again. the balloon will be going up to britain in the next day or two. it is increasingly wet and windy across the british isles. that wet and windy weather will be all over the southern counties. a tricky commute there. elsewhere it isa mix tricky commute there. elsewhere it is a mix of sunny spells and blustery showers. the winter in as i am showing you, mainly on the higher ground. ido am showing you, mainly on the higher ground. i do not think we will see it at low levels. this will be one of the milder days i can offer you in the forthcoming week. eventually that rentals await and new rain from the south—west and because of the evening. once that is where the skies were clear and these temperatures will begin to get. we are beginning to see the first signs of the importation of pretty cold airfrom the north of the importation of pretty cold air from the north and across all parts during the course of tuesday. she was wintry across the hills of wales, down the walls and into the
