show, coming to you this week from tokyo. a city to bed is gearing up to host the let the games in two yea rs to host the let the games in two years time and a place that i call home. but like the rest of the team, i spend a fair amount of my time on the road, bringing new stories from around the world. so let's have a look back at some of our most recent travels. here is a taste of what is coming up. it is crazy here. there gunshots, there are sirens. uluru is one of those muscly destinations if you are

heading to australia. not everybody manages the. it is remote and expensive to get there. despite all this, if you are still clean to climb the rock and then time could be running out as henry discovered when he headed there injanuary. the giant monolith attracts over a quarter of a million visitors each year. for many of them, climbing to the top is something of a rite of passage. as well as being an important place for tourist, uluru isa important place for tourist, uluru is a sacred site. at the moment, tourist are allowed to climb to the top but all of that is about to change. at the end of 2017, the people who manage uluru in conjunction with its traditional owners made a landmark scission to ban tourist from climbing to the

top. there are a couple of reasons. primarily because they do not want to see people climbing for culture reasons but there has also been a significant number of fatalities on the climb. the ban will not come into force until october 2019 and until then, tourists can continue to climb on days when the weather is not too extreme. later, the route has a number of signs asking tourists to respect the wishes of the traditional owners but many people ignore these. so will the closure of the climb have a negative impact on tourist numbers are visiting uluru? impact on tourist numbers are visiting uluru 7 well, impact on tourist numbers are visiting uluru? well, to keep visitors coming, local tourism bosses are working hard to show that there are other ways to experience there are other ways to experience the rock. outcome to take people out into the desert. they get a great travel experience and it is about connecting with the outback and with nature and doing it from the back of

a camel. relax from the waist down and let your body go with the motion. they are environmentally friendly, they have big flat feet so they don't drop the ground up. they area they don't drop the ground up. they are a low impact animal. and go for months without water so they do not need to hang around a water source. unbelievable. the views from the vantage point are pretty breathtaking. ina in a moment we are off to other derby to see an overload of horsepower to try and get to the top of one of the world ‘s highest sand dunes. first, here is a reminder of the time we went to reindeer power —— relied on reindeer power in the finals of the land. you can answer you have truly experienced the delights of lapland until you have

been on a reindeer safari. that is what i am about to do. i am told that if i am good, i may get to ride my own sleigh with my own reindeer. like many reindeer herdsmen here in lapland, eric laments his income with tourism. he takes small groups of tourists into the forest on a reindeer safari. —— eric supplements his income. it is a proper winter wonderland. so beautiful out here. everywhere you look is just a postcard. finally, it is my turn to have a go. if you want to go you just say go. as simple as that? ok. au! go! reindeer, go! he is not listening to me. go, reindeer! go!

maybe we will take the next one. ok. we will try the next one. for a set off, eric gives me a final few tips. just pull it. and then he will stop in an emergency. so this is my emergency brake? whoo—hoo! we are going! this is so spectacular. my first ever sleigh ride. let's go, sun let's go. it still may not be the fastest of rides but it seems to be the smoothest and most magical way to enjoy this landscape. 3.5 hours south—west of the big city

is the vast expanse of desert. it is the uae‘s driest region. it is remote but beautiful. it is a world apart from the big city. at this annual sports festival, there are camel and horse races. but, basically, this is party time for petrol heads, attracting tens of thousands from all over the region. and, truth be told, it is very much a male domain. boy racers and supposedly respectable grown—ups

bring their a—wheel drives and buggies for a romp on the dunes. and you do not get much bigger than this one. 300 metres high, at an incline of 50 degrees. it is crazy here! madness, anarchy almost. all of these boy racers and man of races. they need to get it out of their system. i am going to travel with a bit of a seasoned campaigner. hello. how are you? can you show me some skills if i hop in? show me a few of the things that you do. skills if i hop in? show me a few of the things that you dolj skills if i hop in? show me a few of the things that you do. i can. wow! this car is as it came from the factory. so from the factory and has around 250 horsepower. it will not be enough to take us to the top. but

i refuse to give up. rajan racing to the top earlier this year on the programme. to come on the travel show, we remember the time christer took on a surreal underwater challenge in denmark. 0ur near the got a gentle introduction

into life here on the programme. there gunshots, there are sirens... this is totally unstable. and i hit the streets of tokyo, dressed like this. how do i look? ifeel like mechelen mario. injanuary in january we welcomed injanuary we welcomed mike to the travel show team. i'm not sure if he realised what he had signed up for when we sent him to mexico. he was there tojoin a when we sent him to mexico. he was there to join a group that run regular events designed to put locals off the idea of attending an illegal border crossing into the usa by recreating body would be like. the pay per —— experience is open to tourists as well so we sent him along tojoin in. were told to meet inside the main gate. and even though these guys are playing a part, they really mean business. he

is yelling at the top of his lungs. his cordiality, someone who brings you across the border. he's playing this character extremely seriously. —— he is playing a cop peyote —— coyote. there gunshots, there are sirens. this bridge is totally unstable. and there are people crawling on the ground. i don't know what is going on but the group is slowly... you 0k? yes. unsure footing i can deal with. but things get much scarier when you are forced to the ground by these very authentic looking armed bandits. actually freaked out —— afraid to

make too much noise. we have to go. we have to go. look at this. i have a cactus stuck in the bottom of my shoe. look at

that! that went all the way through the side of my shoe. this is the moment. hopefully we cross the border. al coyote is stressing out as soon as the next truck comes we are dumping in the back —— jumping in the back. sirens in the distance. illegal crossings are currently at the lowest they have been for 17 yea rs. the lowest they have been for 17 years. although the journey still kills hundreds of people annually. here at the park they hope that this experience will save lives. it has given many of the guests here tonight pause for thought. mike staying firmly south of the

border there in mexico back in january. we will see more of him on the show as he heads to the philippines in the next month or so. we sat christer to denmark to try her hand at playing some musical instruments i'm not sure we warned her she would be playing them underwater. this is the group between music, their latest show is a 4—part series which aims to explore who we are as human beings and it begins with our time in the womb. we are so often divided by hugh and me, and if religious, different cultures but

here is something that we all know something about. we have our first nine months covered by this water filter and somehow i think the audience at least on an unconscious level have flashbacks to hearing those sounds. so here goes. one deep dress and... well, actually, this is quite nice. it's lovely and warm. it is great. so if you take this micro phone that is hanging and then you hit this. and then you take the microphone and put it towards it. de here that affect? and then you can sort of play with it. playing music

in water has two sides, on one side it is terrifying because when you are singing into the water, you have to have watered down your throat and if you open a picket water in your lungs so that is quite terrifying. so how on earth you get musical instruments to play underwater was back it took a stand — in 11 years to create this project. it is that we needed to really research and sit at other people have done and try other instruments and most instruments did not sound really good but somehow we saw the potential in this but also we realise we had to build instruments to work underwater so without collaborators around the world to help us build our instruments for the project. i am beginning to think iama bit of the project. i am beginning to think iamabitofa the project. i am beginning to think i am a bit of a natural. you can pull that to the front window and if you hit it with a hammer you can

close the sound with your hand. another thing, there is a small stick on top... exactly, he can use that for the rink over there, with the holes in it. —— ring. that for the rink over there, with the holes in it. -- ring. that is so cool the holes in it. -- ring. that is so cool. you are making music. and to finish a look back at some of our most finish a look back at some of our m ost rece nt finish a look back at some of our most recent travel stories, last month took one of the most surreal sight seem to us ever in that in a while it might be popular with tourists in tokyo, it seems some of the locals are not so keen. i guess

the locals are not so keen. i guess the best way to describe what i am about to experience is a self drive videogame simulation with some sightseeing thrown in. welcome. nice to meet you. gosh, this brings back memories from my childhood. it has to be mario. how do i look? ifeel like michelle and mario. i had not the best driver, you know, and of right now this costume is the least of my worries. i have got my foot on the brake. where is the key? john,

where is the key? this is ridiculous. 0h, where is the key? this is ridiculous. oh, my god. even though it isa ridiculous. oh, my god. even though it is a sunday morning and the traffic is lighter, it takes a while to get used to drink that is so low and expos. slightly vulnerable but i think i am getting the hang of driving this car right now. did you see how close i came to the taxi? we are going through the most fashionable part of tokyo and i am dressed as a fact plumber. little chance of anyone wanting to copy my

outfits here but nintendo are reportedly unhappy with their trademarks the news by the tour is. there has been talk of legal action but the subtle name change and the inclusion of some other cartoon nvidia characters seem to be keeping the lawyers at bay. —— other cartoon characters. we are coming up to the crossing! 0h, characters. we are coming up to the crossing! oh, my goodness. 0h, characters. we are coming up to the crossing! oh, my goodness. oh, my gosh, i can't believe we are going through this. although some of tokyo's taxi drivers say that to us can be deep and dangerous, johnny tells me he has supervised over the rows and tours without any serious accident but several cab drivers we re

accident but several cab drivers were met still have some concerns. new regulations now mean that modifications will have to be made to the go—karts and it is hoped repositioning talents and feeding it back and head protection will provide safety for car drivers and other road users and pedestrians. that's it for a look back at some of the best bits on the travel show so far. coming up next week... there is

another chance to see our blind back packer make his way around jerusalem and bethlehem. my name is tony giles, iam and bethlehem. my name is tony giles, i am from england and bethlehem. my name is tony giles, iam from england i and bethlehem. my name is tony giles, i am from england i am totally blind and severely deaf in both ears and i travelling around the world, trying to visit every country. the response to those fields featuring tony has been amazing so thank you for all your m essa g es amazing so thank you for all your messages and we hope to have from tony in the programme sometime soon. science up on social media and you can share your travels. prone tokyo, it is good buys. —— from tokyo it is a good buy. hello there.

this weekend is looking better than last weekend. certainly much warmer and on sunday, we should see good spells of sunshine. a bit cloudy on saturday, and the reason for the cloud through saturday is because of this feature — this deep area of low pressure running into the south of the uk. further north, though, it should be clearer and as a result, it's going to be a colder start to saturday. the cloud will be thick enough, outbreaks of rain across england and wales. the odd heavier bursts across wales, central southern parts of england with quite a breeze blowing there for cornwall and devon. so where we have the cloud to start saturday morning, it should be milder — 5—7 degrees, but cold. scotland, northern ireland with clear skies and a touch of frost. so for the weekend, then, we should see some good spells of sunshine, especially on sunday. there will be some showers around and temperatures will be around the seasonal average. so this is the picture then through saturday morning. a grey start for england and wales

as that area of low pressure continues to move south—eastwards. for scotland and northern ireland, though, you will have the best of the sunshine. a few showers pushing into the north—west of scotland. these will be wintry over the high ground and the cloud will be thick enough crossing wales for the odd spot of light rain or drizzle, and some mist and murk, too. temperature—wise, 9—11 celsius across the south. during saturday night as that area of low pressure starts to pull away, it will take the cloud with it, too. it'll become confined to the south—east corner of england. so here where we have the cloud, by the end of the night, it should still be fairly mild — temperatures above freezing, certainly. elsewhere, it's going to be a chilly night with a touch of frost around. we start sunday, then, on a really chilly note for many. a touch of frost around but bright, crisp sunshine across many central and northern areas. eventually, the cloud will clear away from east anglia and the south—east, so the sunshine will make an appearance here later in the morning and into the afternoon. so a better—looking day across the board. again, a few showers for the north and the west of scotland, these will be wintry over the hills.

but with more sunshine around, and light winds, too, temperatures a bit higher there — 12 or 13 celsius. now, a ridge of high pressure which brings the fine weather on sunday moves away eastwards, and then we look at this feature running in off the atlantic into western areas. it will bring stronger winds, too, as the day wears on. monday starts off again cold but bright. plenty of sunshine. central and eastern areas stay dry all day but then the cloud begins to increase and outbreaks of rain pushing to northern ireland and into western parts of britain, along with the strengthening breeze as well. some rain could be quite heavy. temperature—wise, again, nine to 11 or 12 degrees celsius. again, fairly mild where we have some sunshine. things are set to change as we move deep on into the week. colder air moves down from the north and the run—up to easter looks like we could see a little bit of sleet and snow. hello this is breakfast, with naga munchetty and rachel burden. a police officer hailed as a hero during the french terror attack has died of his injuries. arnaud beltrame swapped himself for a hostage

during the supermarket siege — and secretly recorded what happened on his mobile phone. good morning, it's saturday the 24th of march. also this morning: investigators work through the night, searching the offices of the company at the centre of the facebook data row. labour mps react angrily to the sacking of the shadow northern ireland secretary for saying he wants a second brexit referendum.
