and if you miss the programme any evening you can watch it later on bbc iplayer. thank you, lynn and ruth. coming up after the weather in a few minutes' time, it's the travel show. from us all, goodbye. she won the match will stop petra kvitova has four titles this year. our next day today. here is a tranquil scene. clear skies around. the satellite shows that much of the country is sitting underneath this clump of cloud. over the next few hours, rain across parts of norfolk on the lincolnshire, northumberland. elsewhere, it is mostly dry. any showers are clearing slowly. under

the clear skies, there could be missed and merck. a chilly morning and could be at touch of frost. sunday, another day of the east—west split. best of the sunshine towards the west. cloudier in the east but unimproved day to parts of the south—east of england and up towards the midlands. more sunshine than saturday. the rain pushes northwards and it will be confined to the far pa rt and it will be confined to the far part of england. a decent day on signed —— sunday. in the wind, it could feel pleasant enough. always that bit cooler around the north—east coast of england. looking forward into sunday night and into the working week, low pressure coming in from france but high pressure trying to move its way in. although there could be cloud and one or two although there could be cloud and one oi’ two showers although there could be cloud and one or two showers for east anglia

and the south—east, many places having a dry and fine day on monday. skies will cloud overfor having a dry and fine day on monday. skies will cloud over for the northwest safer northern ireland and western scotland, hazy later on. in the sunny spells, temperatures upto 20 degrees on monday and it should feel quite nice. on tuesday, that theme continues as high pressure builds for most of us. there is a front heading in from the north—west which will bring a line of more cloud and spots of rain for northern ireland and into northern and western scotland. england and wales hold onto the sunshine all day on tuesday and that will lift that averages nicely. we could see 22 or possibly 23 degrees in the warmest spots. looking ahead, as high pressure continues to be in charge, a lot of dry weather and as the spells of sunshine are on offer, it should feel pleasantly warm. this week in the show.

taking on manila's traffic hell. how the system works is, as the people come on the money starts to flow, and it all comes through me. you don't want a distracted driver, because the traffic here is a little bit crazy. the filipinos who feed your body and your soul. it is designed scientifically and nutritionally to make you happy and calm. and 300 years of new orleans. jazz music. ah, the lovely philippines. with thousands of pristine beachy islands and acres of virgin rainforest, i have had some very happy times here. but not many people come here for the attractions of the capital manila, the most densely populated city in the world. —— ah, the lovely philippines. with thousands of pristine beachy islands and acres of virgin rainforest, i have had some very happy times here. but not many people come here for the attractions

of the capital manila, the most densely populated city in the world. one of the first things you realise when you land in manila is the traffic is awful. hurry! with no metro and a very limited bus and train service, the backbone of its public transport is currently this — it's a jeepney. the design is modelled on the us jeeps that were abandoned here and repurposed after the second world war. to this day they are still the best way to get around. the problem is, the system is quite tricky for a newcomer to get to grips with. ok, as i weave my way through the traffic that is now on the sidewalk, i am looking for one that says libertad, and so there should be, in paint, on one of these, the place i'm looking for. libertad — this must be it. if you have a smartphone, it makes things a lot easier. there is an app called

sakay.ph where you can put in your origin and destination. so in this case, intramuros is where we are, we want to go to libertad, we are taking this journey on a weekend when the roads are quieter. during the week the jams can go on for miles. and i soon discover that if you sit right behind the driver, you're expected to help him out. ten pesos. so how the system seems to work is, as the people come on, the money starts to flow, and it all comes through me. because you don't want a distracted driver, especially in the streets of manila, because the traffic here is a little bit crazy. it is my first time on a jeepney today. i am wondering if you have any tips for me. it is better to sit beside the driver.

more fresh air. it is more fresh air, but at the same time, the whiplash effect of the long... it is like a fish tail, it is more stable in the front. keep your bag close. always here? if you want to stop, tap on the roof. so that is go... that is stop? and two is go. i can do that maybe about six times before my fingernail feels like it wants to pop right off. as if this wasn't complicated enough, these old workhorses are currently being phased out. around 200,000 of the most polluting vehicles are being replaced by cleaner models.

and those plans have sparked protests and strikes from the drivers who worry that, despite schemes designed to help them, many will not be able to afford to replace their current vehicle. some are concerned for theirjobs. this is going to be like christmas and springtime for you. so i take nel to meet the source of his worries face—to—face. are you ready, for, your newjeepney! this, we are told, is the future of public transport in manila. this is the e—jeepney, the modernjeepney. it is all—electric which is why it is quiet, it has no emissions, no pollution, no smoke. so no noise, no smoke, no problem. the other difference is that it will have automatic fare collection system machines, so that the payment system is cashless.

so you don't have to worry about the one, two, three. passing the money? i do like how it is in the same location as the guy who passes the money. you don't have to worry about people going for freebies. people will be caught. he said that sometimes people look at his cashbox funny, sometimes they take it. so it is very dangerous. as well as a card reader it will have wi—fi and air conditioning which will make life much more comfortable for its passengers. how about the music radio? of course! that is the number one concern of the driver

and passenger, is the music. we have a stereo system and speakers also, not installed right now but that is the number one thing that drivers and the passengers want. but there is really only one way to convince nel once and for all. we're taking this baby for a spin. here we go! yeah! laughs. you're smiling. why are you smiling? are you having fun? i'm happy. no sounds, no engine sound. very quiet. you can focus on driving and listening to your music. yeah. whoa, whoa, ok, ok, that was close. ok, so it is more minibus then jeepney, but what it lacks in the charm that its ancestor had, it makes up for in green credentials. it's thought the process of replacing the older vehicles will start later this year.

with that rollout, and a new underground under construction right now, manila's roads could be a very different place in just a few years‘ time. so now you know how to get around, here is our guide of things that you can see and do the next time you find yourself in manila. intramuros, or the walled city, is the most obvious attraction, especially for history fans. it used to be the seat of government when the philippines was ruled by spain. these days you can see the best of what it has to offer on a guided walking tour. let me welcome you all to... intramuros! the best known is carlos celdran‘s "walk this way" tour, which is part history lesson... this flag did not exist yet, because this flag was a symbol of our rebellion against spain. and part performance art. the black nazarene is the philippines‘ most revered holy

relic, and it is kept in the central quiapo church. it is a lifesize statue ofjesus on his way to crucifixion, and it is regarded by some filipinos to be miraculous. just a touch of it can cure disease, they say. everyjanuary up to 12 million worshippers turn up to carry the nazarene through the streets, in an event called the translacion, a truly spectacular sight. when you're ready to eat, we can heartily recommend one of these dampa markets dotted around the city. it's quite strange how this works. you can pick any of this fresh seafood you want. it's not a normalfish market, that's not where it ends. you take it over to the restaurant over here and they cook it for you, fresh. it is reasonably priced and it is incredibly quick. # this is a man's world...

# this is a man's world #. finally, it's a stereotype that filipinos are born entertainers, but one thing is for sure, they definitely like their karaoke. you will find singing opportunities right across the city, everywhere from bars to hotels to department stores. but if that's not hard—core enough, try your hand at videoke, a slightly more competitive version that scores your performance. # total eclipse of the heart #. still to come on the travel show. tasting the smog of some of the world's dirtiest cities. we weren't allowed to use the real pollution within the domes, because if we pumped in carbon monoxide and nitric oxide we would actually kill people.

hello. and i eat at the manila restaurant that aims to make me a calmer, happier, better person. so don't go away. this week i am exploring the filipino capital manila. noisy, busy, bustling, but full of character. it smells good! like jasmine, almost. this is quiapo church, and around is its eccentric market. the biggest religion in the philippines is christianity thanks to the arrival of the spanish in the 16th century, but what is really fascinating is how that has kind of meshed together with the indigenous religions to create a unique mix. there is a service happening at quiapo church today which is why the square is very busy. it is filled with stalls selling everything — altars, relics, folk medicine, and wishing candles! so each colour means a different wish? travel, love, money...

love, do i need love? laughs. sure. so tess recommended pink for love. i wanted travel or success but she seemed to think i needed the pink one. more from manila in a moment. as air pollution continues to make headlines, visitors to london recently had the chance to sample the smog of other world cities, courtesy of these pollution pods installed at somerset house. within each pod there is the pollution from different cities. notjust a question of the pollution being greater or lesser,
