frost for many days most of the ground is pretty frozen in some areas. tomorrow the snow will settle in areas in the eastern part of the country and some snow will come inland but tuesday is not a bad day, still bright and cold for many. not used it, this is monday. on tuesday we have an amber warning for some central parts of the uk and there is more disruptive snow on the way for the rest of the week, so it will be a rough week of whether for some of us. this is bbc news, our latest headlines: a shift of policy on europe by labour — shadow brexit secretary sir kier starmer confirms the party would keep britain in a customs union. syrian warplanes are reported to have attacked the besieged rebel area of eastern ghouta

despite the un security council voting unanimously for a ceasefire. one of bollywood's most famous actresses, sridevi kapoor, who starred in around 300 films has died suddenly at the age of 5a. now it's time for the travel show. coming up on this week's show... we dig in for the night on a snow—covered mountain in scotland. so we've been digging for a couple of hours now and the camera is finally starting to completely freeze over, and i am also freezing. there's tips on the best place to honeymoon. and i'm enjoying my own company at a new korean restaurant for solo diners here in seoul. that was really bad chopstick etiquette! first up this week, we're

in the cairngorms national park in the heart of the scottish highlands. the frozen landscape is beautiful at this time of year but conditions can be brutal, and recently, a number of hikers have found themselves in trouble there after reaching higher terrain. the advice is never to attempt this on your own in bad weather conditions without an experienced mountaineer, so we sentjo whalley on an overnight tour with a guided group to learn some winter survival skills. this is the snowiest place in the uk. over 1700 square miles of glistening icecapped peaks. the snow makes it a popular

spot for winter sports, but at this time of year, the weather in the mountains can also be unpredictable and extreme. if you find yourself lost in a blizzard like this, one of the best survival techniques is to dig a hole to shelter from the elements. i've scaled mount cairngorm with a tour group led by expert guide, andy bateman. he's going to teach us how to safely construct a snow hole. one of the best places to dig is this small valley, 1100 metres up the mountain. it's nicknamed the snow house because of the drifts that collect here. i'm so cold. yes. it's so snowy. i can't actually imagine how we're going to stay here tonnight. well, the big killer in terms of your own temperature is the wind,

and when we get in the snow hole, we are totally out of the wind. what is the windchill now? what's the sort of wind speed? we are in quite a sheltered hollow now, so it's probably only sort of five, ten, 15 miles an hour, something like that. when we came over the top, it was considerably more than that, as you very well experienced, but once we're in the snow hole, we'll be very sheltered. so we're going to get you warmed up, ok? so there's your shovel. while we've been preparing the equipment, three of the team, lorna, gregor and dave, have made a start on the hole by digging tunnels into the snowdrift. when they're deep enough, we'll connect them to form a cavern. we're just tunnelling into the snow at the moment. we've got to go in a good metre from the top here. do you want to come in and have a dig? yes. i'm just chopping away at this face here.

and then how long does it take to do this normally, andy? it very much depends on the snow conditions. we've got relatively soft snow, but certainly three hours plus, sometimes as much as five hours. five hours, ok. half three now, is it? so it's going to go dark not so long away. this is a snow saw, designed to be able to cut through ice and snow, and by using this, we can often remove the snow far more efficiently, inasmuch as we can cut blocks out, rather than chipping away. and are we ok under here, this isn't gonna collapse? no. no, i mean the strength is in the thickness of the snow. this is a well — it's quite narrow so it's well supported, but when we actually make the living space, we want to make sure that that's narrow as well so it's well supported.

there we go. oh, that was a good bit in the middle. i'll now get in there with a shovel. what is it about pushing yourself out of the comfort zone that people enjoy? i suppose it goes back to, it very much engages the brain. you forget about all the worries, you know, you are concerned about keeping warm, surviving. it takes life back to the elemental, you know, it's about survival. but surviving in style, we hope. so we've been digging for a comple of hours now and the camera is finally starting to completely freeze over and i am also freezing over. so we're going to focus on digging. otherwise, we might not have anywhere to stay tonight. we chip and carve away at the ice until eventually, it starts to take shape. we've finally reached one of the most satisfying parts of digging, when the tunnels start to connect and we can reach through to each other.

andy's built over 50 snow holes with groups of tourists, and shows us how to sculpt the roof with a saw to stop collapse and prevent drips. he assures me he's never had one fall down before. keep going. it's hard work but it is finally starting to warm up in here. the average temperature in a snow hole hovers around zero degrees, toasty compared to the freezing winds outside. we're making the hole big enough for six people and all our stuff, but in an emergency, even a small snow shelter can provide vital protection from hypothermia. we heave the biggest pieces of snow to the exit and use them to block up two of the doors,

filling in the gaps to stop drafts getting through. there we go. thank you so much. that is amazing! so, we made it. this is our beautiful snow hole, with a nice vaulted ceiling up there. and andy's very kindly cooking up a round of tea for everyone. you canjust see lorna and gregor are all the way down there. i can't believe we made it! cheers, everyone. cheers. woohoo! after a hot meal from the stove, we all try to settle down for the night. even with layers of clothing and a specialist sleeping bag, it does feel pretty chilly, but it's completely silent, we're hidden away from the gales outside. so, i survived the night. i've just been woken up, andy

was outside chipping the ice away, all this snow that's fallen overnight has sort of blocked us in, so he's just dug us out and now he's making us a cup of tea. i slept a little bit but it's been very, very cold. the thought of heading back outside is daunting, but andy helps me to pack up and clamber out of the hole into a blizzard of white. getting back down the mountain is a mammoth effort because of the swirling snowstorm, but that feeling of knowing we survived the night is exhilarating. still to come on this week's travel show... our global guru's here with advice

on and april honeymoon and the best ideas for a big family day in france. and i'm keeping conversation to a minimum at a new restaurant for solo diners here in south korea. your destination inspiration every week, here on the travel show. welcome to the slice of the show that tackles your questions about getting the best out of travel. coming up, singapore to italy overland. and the best location for a family celebration in france. first though, welcome to valletta, capital of malta, and for this year only, european capital of culture.

the cultural programme for 2018 has a strong travel aspect, key themes include routes, cities and islands. its twin capital is the northern dutch city of leeuwarden, where the artistic highlight in september and october involves 100 friesian horses performing in a drama about the perpetual struggle against the sea. next, matt taylor from stafford in the english midlands is getting married in april, and he still hasn't decided on a honeymoon location. the bahamas are expensive to reach and to stay in, and not renowned for their depth of culture or great sightseeing. there's more on offer in dubai and the maldives, but that involves a long and expensive flight,

at a time of year when the southern mediterranean is at its best. whether you are on the island of sicily, or here in malta, you can expect temptingly empty beaches, beautiful, clearskies, and feast on thousands of years of history, as well as heavenly cuisine. next, rita from verina in italy, is currently in singapore, where she's recovering from a serious infection, and she wants to get home. as i am not fit to fly, are there any other options for me to travel via sea or land? turn your homeward journey into a two week overland adventure. you can get the train from singapore through malaysia, to the thai capital, bangkok. take another overnight train and that will get you across the border into laos. from the capital, vientiane, take a sleeper bus into vietnam,

to the capital, hanoi. from there, it's a two night overland journey to the chinese capital, beijing. then, for the next six nights, you can relax aboard the trans—mongolian train all the way to moscow. and would you believe, there's a direct train from the russian capital straight to verona, taking a0 hours? and finally, ann buckingham asks... montpellier is my recommendation, with a colourful, compact old town that reflects everything we find enticing about southern france. sunlight dappling on terracotta roofs and ancient honey—coloured stones, cafe culture spilling out across beautiful squares, and chic restaurants, shops and hotels. there's a fine beach close by and plenty of opportunities for exploring inland,

or along the coast, and all in less than two hours‘ flying time from gatwick. whether you're heading for the deep south or the far north, the travel show is here to help. so just e—mail the travel show at bbc.co.uk, and i'll do my very best to find you an answer. from me, simon calder, the global guru, here on the island of malta, bye for now and see you next time. korean food is becoming famous the world over and it is here in seoul that you will find the best. i have come to discover a unique way to enjoy it. first, i am off to a market to pick up a warm snack or two along the way. it is cold out here right now.

feels like it is well below zero. but look at this place! it is bustling. you would think people would be at home with their heating on full blast, but no. you cannot keep people away from korean street food. i like it. it is a good atmosphere. i don't know if you can see me through the steam but this looks interesting. i have never seen anything like this before. it's egg on bread and if you look inside you can see it baking in the oven. let's give it a try. let's give it a go... that is quite good. it is egg with a very sweet bread. a nice combination. although many koreans enjoy eating on the go, when it comes to sitting down to a proper meal it is usually done with a large group

of friends and family. so i am eating a group of local foodies and bloggers who will give me the lowdown on how to share a meal korean style. hi, guys. how are you doing? sorry i'm late. let's eat. i was laughing about the scissors. you know western people just find this concept strange. why is it so important for koreans to eat communally? food is a social activity, however in korea it plays a role in terms of... for example, if i am with someone younger i feel the need to feed them. i will cut something up and put it on their plate. like, here, enjoy. give me your plate. 0k. for me this is very common.

there's an order for people to be served, as well. really? what is the order to be served in? age? you are the guest of honour so you get it first. wow. seniority! i heard in korea that if you pour your own drink you will have an ugly spouse. is that right? it is different for every group. you can give the other person a bad one. so i have to pourfor you. and then i should receive it with two hands. 0k. i will pour it with two hands. what happens if you spill it?! because korea went through such a long time of poverty, i think that food is so symbolic of what we have now. being able to watch someone eat or share food

together is more meaningful than just giving nutrition. i like to watch people eat. it is a korean girl thing. really? you watch them eat on social media? people do that here as well. you can live stream people eating. it seems that all koreans enjoy company whether they are eating together or tucking in online. but in a country where family ties and traditions are strong i have heard there is still something of a taboo about actually going out to enjoy korean food on your own. although life here in south korea is changing and with more young people choosing to live alone, a couple of new restaurants have opened up for those who enjoy their own company and traditionalfood. i am off to check one out. i am eagerly awaiting my meat and my

barbecue for one to be delivered. it is very exciting. you see the vent here? that will suck up the fumes so i don't smell like a barbecue when i walk out of here. there is a guy next door who does not seem to be keen to have a chat. she laughs gosh, it is really quiet here. do i get scissors? wow. there is a lot of heat coming off this. it is such a strange concept. normally when i come to a korean barbecue i am with a huge group of people, friends, family, or even work colleagues. and usually other people do the grilling. i don't know if it is a good place

to come if you are single. you are surrounded by single people, but everyone is on their phones, there is a partition between the walls and no—one wants to talk to each other. oops, i am burning this now! that was bad chopstick etiquette. you are not meant to go like that with your chopsticks. it shows that i am not very good. see, this is the thing where you miss having other people with you. i am not the best barbecue grill person so this is not the most relaxing. i feel like i'm trying to multitask a lot of things at once. i could do with another set of hands, really. but it is quite nice to not feel pressured to talk to anybody. delicious.

compliments to the chef. if you are thinking of heading to south korea any time soon, here are some travel show tips on things you could see and do. seoullo 7017 is the south korean capital's version of the high line in new york. this former innercity highway has been turned into the biggest green space in the city with 211,000 trees and plants lining the route along with cafes and performance spaces. it is all part of efforts to make seoul more pedestrian friendly. a three—hour high speed train ride from seoul is the second city of korea, busan, and the gamcehon cultural village. this former rundown area overlooking the coast has been renovated and repainted and you will find murals and sculptures created by the locals here as well, making it a big attraction for tourists. and if you did not manage to catch the winter olympics, do not despair.

there are dozens of annual winter themed festivals here in south korea. one to look out for is the yearly ice fishing festival close to the olympic site in pyeonchang where thousands of tourists and locals use rods, traditional lures and even their bare hands to catch trout from the icy river. it runs every year throughout february so wrap up warm. that is it for this week, but i hope you can join us next week on the travel show when... christa is in norway as she takes a journey along one of the world's most spectacular rail lines in search of the roots of norwegian music. it is kind of the sound of nature. fiddle plays. this is great. and don't forget, if you want to follow us on the road you can sign up to our social media feed.

until next time, from me carmen roberts, and the rest of the travel show team here in seoul, it is goodbye. the advice is to keep track of the forecast because you may be surprised how much snow is heading your way over the next few days, and for some of us it will be troublesome week. the main message from yesterday and the last few days has not changed. disruptive snow is on the way, different parts will get it on different days. the cold air

from russia is establishing itself across the uk as i speak, so temperatures are tumbling. it is starting to feel cold in the south in bitter winds and eight snow might settle across eastern areas, a covering of snow in some eastern counties first thing on monday morning, the ground frozen solid so the snow will have no problem settling. on monday morning we will see scenes like this, nothing to significant yet, but snow showers could be on the heavy side across some eastern counties, and some will blow right across the country towards the west coast. some of the major towns and cities through monday will get at least a dusting of snow. a bit more in the east. and it feels cold with strong winds in the south that could feel like — three, that is what it feels like, not the actual value on the thermometer. on monday evening these clouds over the north sea could

become a problem as we head into the early hours of monday and tuesday. a warning of snow for tuesday, we could see persistent heavy snow from lincolnshire and parts of the midlands down towards central areas, possibly birmingham as well. elsewhere there will be snow showers around and they will continue through the course of tuesday evening into the early hours of wednesday, this is wednesday morning and you can see the snow showers. again, a very cold day. these are daytime temperatures, subzero during the afternoon. this isjust daytime temperatures, subzero during the afternoon. this is just a daytime temperatures, subzero during the afternoon. this isjust a rough estimate of how much snow by the end of wednesday could be lying. large variation across the rest of the country. some areas will have no snow, others could have 5—10 centimetres. the real problem arises

towards the end of the week. this low— pressure towards the end of the week. this low—pressure get stuck in this easterly wind and we could be heading for a full—blown blizzard across the south towards the end of the week. this is bbc news. the headlines at 2... a shift of policy on europe by labour — shadow brexit secretary sir kier starmer, confirms the party would keep britain in a customs union. we have long championed being in a customs union with the eu and the benefits of that. it is the only way we are listed lead to get tariff free access and is really important for our manufacturing base. —— realistically to get. the winter olympic games has ended in pyeongchang. syrian warplanes are reported

to have attacked the besieged rebel area of eastern ghouta despite the un security council voting unanimously for a ceasefire.
