public sympathy. but whether the debate is emotional or intellectual, the reality is the uk is a big trader in fur. sima kotecha, bbc news. with 75% of votes counted now in slovenia's parliamentary election the anti—immigration slovenian democratic party is well in the lead with 25% of the vote. this means the sds led by janes jansa will be given the mandate to form a government. but they may struggle to form a coalition as the other four leading parties have all said they would refuse to join in. three crew members from the international space station have made the journey safely back down to earth. russian cosmonaut anton shkaplerov was accompanied by astronauts scott tingle from the us and norishige kanai from japan. the three landed in kazakhstan this afternoon, having spent 168 days in space. the russian was out of the capsule first, met by support crew

who checked him over ahead of his journey back to moscow. now the weather — with darren bett. there have been a few storms today mostly for the northern half of scotla nd mostly for the northern half of scotland but it's becoming dry overnight and any early showers decaying and we are seeing cloud heading our way, lots of cloud in the north sea drifting further inland across the eastern side of the uk bringing some very misty weather, some patches of folk, especially around coasts and hills. further west we have clearer skies and a one night, 1a degrees. quite a cloudy day for south—eastern parts of scotla nd cloudy day for south—eastern parts of scotland and north east england again, but this time cloudy and misty and significantly cooler for the east midlands all the way down to east anglia as well. in the south—east, north and west across the uk it will be warm in the low to

mid 20s but that could trigger some thundery downpours especially for western scotland and northern ireland. quite a range of temperatures, cool in the east but more sunshine for eastern areas on tuesday and still generally try on wednesday with typical temperatures into the low 20s. goodbye. —— generally drive. —— dry. this is bbc news — our latest headlines. one year on from the london bridge attack — a special service takes place at southwark cathedral to remember the victims.

eight people lost their lives and 48 others were injured after three attackers drove into pedestrians — then stabbed people in nearby borough market. in other news — the home secretary, sajid javid, has said he'll look again at key parts of immigration policy — including foreign students and doctors coming to the uk. doctors say new research means thousands of women with early stage breast cancer could be spared chemotherapy. now on bbc news, it's the travel show. this week we are in the netherlands‘ capital amsterdam, battling the city's monster crowds. the streets are really small, the canals are really narrow and those areas are completely overcrowded. we have lentils, chickpeas, these fried onions... chomping our way around cairo. all in this one dish?

yes! and listen up — the best tech for your ears to take on holiday. if you say mandarin, it will play in my ear in english. i'm excited. it has long been known as venice of the north. with its colourful i7th—century houses, network of canals and bridges, and picturesque old city centre, it is not surprising that amsterdam has become a favourite with tourists. it is an explosion of tourists. we have our quiet times in the past, but now we don't have

quiet times any more, tourists are the whole year round. one study claims that numbers have shot up from 11 million in 2005 to around 18 million annual visitors. that is a lot of people in a city ofjust 850,000 residents. so how do locals feel about this constant influx of tourists? we have seen that it has really risen in popularity in the last few years, and the streets are small, the canals are narrow, when there are new tourist they tend to be around the same areas, and those areas get overcrowded. people who come here for the first time want to go to the anne frank house, they stay around the red light district, they may not realise we have so many other nice areas and things to offer. cities across europe have seen similar rises, sparking a wave of anti—tourist protests. in reaction, the amsterdam

authorities have introduced new laws restricting the number of tourist shops in the city centre and enforcing tougher rules on hotels and airbnb lets. measures have also been taken at popular sites like the van gogh museum. this used to be full of tourists. people would queue here for up to three hours to buy tickets. but as of recently tickets are now only available online, meaning far less crowding during the day and a much more on the day and a much more pleasant experience for visitors. the tourist board have also been looking for modern ways to keep tourists and locals happy. we think first of all the city is a city of the inhabitants. they own the city. and visitors are welcome, but it should not be an open—air attraction park. within the last year, frans and his team trialled

a pilot called rijenradar. it monitors the size of crowds at popular sites. when crowds get too big it warns the user of less popular sites. it ties into another campaign to encourage tourists to venture outside the old town into the wider metropolitan area. we can influence them to go into the neighbourhoods. we still have to address the challenge in the city centre. and this can help. new regulations and visitor initiatives can only go so far. so the amsterdam institute for metropolitan solutions have proposed a rather more radical solution, one that seems torn from the pages of a science—fiction novel. robot boats. self driving vessels moving passengers and goods around amsterdam's canals. you have these canals which is, 25% of the surface of amsterdam is water.

it is not roads, it is water. so why don't you use that infrastructure that is already there again for moving people and goods in and out of the city. at the same time, we saw a lot of development in autonomous driving on the road, and they came up with the idea that autonomous boats, we call them roboats could be employed in the city. deployed in the city. so far only miniature versions of the roboats have been tested on the canals. but stefan is certain their full—size counterpart will enhance the visitors‘ experience. one idea sees passengers hail the boats with a uber—style app. in the city you can get everywhere by boat. for tourists it is a nice way, not the fastest way but you can get around, you can go to your favourite museum or hotel. stefan says the roboats could be up and running within the next

three orfour years. providing tourists with fewer crowds and a new futuristic draw to this historic city. and if you are thinking of taking a trip here, here are our tips on what to know before you go. the rijksmuseum is home to rembrandt‘s night watch and other works from the dutch old masters. you might have fight to see them though, is one of the netherlands‘ though, it‘s one of the netherlands‘ most popular museums, attracting over two million visitors last year. the busiest days are friday through sunday so get there for opening at 9am, early in the week, to beat the crowds. if you don‘t want to see great works of art, how about the tiny wonders of micropia. it is the world‘s first museum dedicated to microbes,

single—cell organisms which live all around us, and includes this body scanner which will give you an intimate look at the microbes living inside you. look at all those! let‘s look in the large intestine. there is a lot. nearly 99% of all bacteria in the body live in your intestines. and every august, there is the grachtenfestival, running for more than 20 years, which is a ten—day event staging classical music around the canals. you will have your pick of 250 performances in 90 venues with the highlight being a free concert staged on a pontoon. next this week, our travels take us to north africa, to one city more famous for its hats than anything else. but fez in morocco has another claim to fame which makes places like oxford and cambridge seem like relative newbies. she dedicated all her wealth

for building this institution. and during that time, she was devoted and she fasted a long time, at the time of ending the building. she dedicated all her wealth for building this institution. it is the oldest university around the world, because it is recorded in the guinness world records, that is the oldest from the past to be operating and really working as a university, that is giving the chance for anyone who wants to study to have its curricula in this university. still to come on the travel show: the best tech to make yourself understood wherever you are.

hello, how are you today? what is your name? yes, we have translation! and busting the myths about egyptian food. so gooey that i have to put on some gloves to eat it. adi takes his tummy on a culinary tour of cairo. the proof is in the pudding. you might have noticed more and more people walking seemingly talking to themselves. that is because there has been a lot of development in these things, hearables. the idea is that earbuds aren‘tjust headphones but in—ear computers, that go beyond music listening, that can help with everything

from directions to translating foreign languages and even keeping you fit while on your travels. the google pixel buds operate via touch and voice control. 0nce connected to your phone by bluetooth you can listen to music, have your notifications red to you and even translate on—the—fly. like a lot of this kind of tech, the pixel buds are reliant on the tech behind it which is google assistant, which you trigger by saying "0k google" or pressing the right earbud. how do i get to oxford street? head south—west and turn right. the sound quality is loud and clear but because they sit on the outside your ear canal you get a lot of outside noise. and as is the case with any hearable, you will need to get over the fact that you will look like you are talking to yourself. next up is the bragi dash pro. the buds are wireless and can be activated with touch, voice control and gestures. i can tap my cheek to access different functionalities or nod

and shake by head to play music and take calls. pretty handy if you are nervous about pulling your phone out in a crowded place. and you can translate up to a0 languages by connecting to the itranslate app. and we are going to see how well they work. in theory that should play in my ear, if you say mandarin, it will play in english. speaks chinese. app: hello, how are you today. what is your name. we have translation! i‘m going to try to speak back to you. tap the left bud to trigger that. hello i am having a wonderful day, loving the sunshine and my name is lucy. app: speaks chinese. it comes out to me. perfect? i understood lucy! i thought that was quite seamless, it was quite nice, i had a translation in my hear, it was on point, it was accurate.

the app is expensive, £4.99 a month, that‘s its downside, but this is a wonderful insight into the future of cross—language communication. i‘m impressed. to find out just what we can expect from this sort of tech in the future i am meeting with mike who is an expert in wearables. what have you got? this has a special feature which is augmented. you can be picky about the sounds you hear in your environment. there‘s different profiles. whether you are in a restaurant, whether you are in a busy street or even on a plane, you can take more control. can i have a listen? yes. it‘s quite noisty in there. it‘s quite noisy in here.

they are in, nice and comfortable. you can controlled if you want a more noise. you can dial it back. the difference in that. when you speak it‘s really loud. these are sports headphones. they will coach you whatever level you are at, it‘s great if you are having withdrawal symptoms from the gym on holiday. yes. must work out. i'm going to try them in the real world to see how they fare. she‘s telling me to add music in quite an excitable tone. music is a great accompaniment when running hell for leather. it‘s a little bit weird having someone this excitable in

your ear but that‘s what she is here for, to offer motivation. let‘s start this run. she‘s telling me to move so start this run. she‘s telling me to move so that‘s what i will do. and finally this week we go to egypt, a country to which travellers are just starting to return after several bad years. we sent adi to the capital, cairo, to see how foodies there are trying to stir interest in dishes which until now have not been widely celebrated. egypt, a country blessed with a wealth of attractions. if you come here as a tourist there is no shortage of things to see and do.

most people come on holiday to egypt for the ancient history. last time i came here, it was for the beautiful beaches and the lovely weather. you wouldn‘t normally put food at the top of your list of reasons to be here. but there is a new group of people who are working really hard to make us all fall in love with egyptian cuisine. i am in the capital, cairo, where street food is visible everywhere you turn. typical local cuisine is dominated by beans, grains, and lots of rich flavours. now, up until recently it has not received as much international recognition as other middle eastern styles. we were like, 0k, we are going to do a food blog. local entrepreneur mia is hoping to change that. she and her foodie friend founded what they claimed to be the first tour of its kind in the capital. it all started off with lyna, my business partner. she was in italy, she was hungry, she found this pasta restaurant on the internet. she went there and had the worst lasagne of her life! a waste of tummy space, who wants that? back on home soil the pair spotted a gap in the market. there are no food tour

companies here in egypt. but it is very popular in other parts of the world. egyptian cuisine is so underrated. it is always overshadowed by the monuments and by all the historical tours. that is really the reason why a lot of people come here but nobody really comes here for the food. the tours were launched just one year ago and include the area that borders tahrir square, the site of the 2011 uprising. prior to the revolution this place was very popular as the area where students from the american university, on the right, used to hang out and have their coffee. the aim is to offer small groups a genuine and perhaps grittier cairo experience through walking, history, culture and food. first on my tour is a family—owned

business which specialises in the country‘s most ubiquitous dish. so, this is koshary. koshary is the national dish of egypt. you can get a very gourmet one, you can get a deconstructed one. you have lentils, chickpeas, fried onions, rice, macaroni. all in this one dish! yes. it is typical of middle eastern food. a melting pot of influences from former rulers such as the ottomans, to mediterranean countries and beyond. ok, i am going to give it a go. it is very rich. i can get the kick as well, from the spice and the peppers and the garlic as well.

i like it a lot. egyptians love social media almost as much as their grub. and that has led to increased awareness of the latest culinary trends and fusions. since 2011, some 6000 new restaurants have opened in cairo. young people in the country, lots of them want to be their own bosses, they want to be entrepreneurs and give back to the community somehow. what better way to do that than with food? restaurants are coming up with more and more unique concepts to fuel demand. but it has also meant that places serving traditional dishes with a twist are now on trend. this unassuming eatery specialises in a local favourite called hawawshi. can you tell me what these guys are doing now?

for thousands of years, bread has held a special place in egyptian diets. their word for bread actually means life. ancient workers were even paid in the stable. it is a food you will find with every meal. hawawshi is a bit like an egyptian version of a hamburger. but here it has been upgraded. when would you eat this? that is what i like!

every time. i love this. so gooey i have to put on gloves to eat it. serious. as we say in the uk, the proof is in the pudding. that‘s good! it is really tasty, very rich. tell him not to give away too many secrets, otherwise people will steal your recipe. there is no doubt that this tour has shown me a completely new experience. i would never have tried these dishes if i had been eating in my hotel. this trip has definitely given me a genuine taste of cairo. that is it from this week‘s show.

coming up next week... i will be here to guide you through some of our best bits from the last few months on the road. 0h, hi! we have had some pretty special times. from an encounter with some of the scariest beasts in mauritius... i can‘t believe it! to michael‘s breakneck trip around manila on one of its iconic vehicles. the traffic here is crazy. dojoin us then. in the meantime, from me and everybody here in amsterdam, it is goodbye. hello, good evening. 0verthe

weekend they will be fewer thundery showers, more warm sunshine, bit like today, we have had temperatures in the mid—20s, lots of blue skies, but not everywhere. we needed artificial light for the test match at headingley in leeds but i‘m sure julia, one of our weather watchers, had a great day. cloud over northwest storms in the north will fade away, any showers to the south across england and wales will decay, instead we are looking out of the north sea filling in with cloud and the misty and murky weather will filter inland overnight. clearer skies to the west, generally dry by the morning, quite warm, 11—14d. cloud could prove stubborn in the south and towards the midlands and

east anglia. sunshine in the south—east but more especially to the western side of the uk where we get a lift of the temperatures could lead to slow—moving and perhaps heavy thundery downpours. we are seeing a range of temperatures, much cooler than today, in many eastern parts of the uk, heading into the afternoon we pick out some storms across the south west of scotland, that will be the main area of wet weather on monday. not far away from northern ireland, south—east scotla nd northern ireland, south—east scotland much cooler and grey, this time into the midlands and east anglia temperatures will be low on monday. maybe the odd shower for wales and the south—west slow—moving, but equally some sunshine. the really wet weather is not far away from the near continent. we are seeing heavy rain moving northwards across france, high pressure to the north of the uk, easterly flow again as we have seen uk, easterly flow again as we have seen for the past couple of weeks. this time no two days are over the same from introducing drier airfrom the north sea for tuesday. the low cloud, misty and murky pushed away

towards the south—west so a cooler day here but the sunnier arriving in eastern scotland on the warm and sunny conditions across northern england towards east and east anglia. sunny spells and perhaps one or two showers for northern ireland. generally it will be dry on tuesday and into wednesday. we have an increasing chance of catching some showers on thursday but again most places will be dry with some warm sunshine. this is bbc world news today. i‘m krupa padhy. our top story — china adds its voice to concerns about us tariffs. behind the smiles and handshakes — beijing warns washington that their trade talks could fail, if president trump goes ahead with his tariff plans. north korea‘s leader wants to stay at a luxurious hotel suite for his summit with donald trump in singapore — but who‘s going to foot the bill? remembering the victims of the london bridge terror attacks one year on — with a special service in london. also in the programme —
