6:02 am
altogether, he was off, defiant in the face of a clutch of world leaders still furious with america's unilateral trade tariffs. the warning signs came early when the president showed up late for a leader's breakfast on gender equality, one of the few areas where there had been hope of a meeting of minds. while officials worked towards a final agreement all the leaders could sign up to, the president was sticking to his position, blaming former american leaders for allowing the rest of the world to take advantage of america on trade. it's going to change, 100%. tariffs are going to come way down because we people can't continue to do that. we're like a piggy bank that everybody‘s robbing, and that ends. and it was clear the president didn't much like how he was being spoken to. a moment captured in this photograph, later posted on social media by the german chancellor herself. but when she faced the cameras, she said a common statement didn't
6:03 am
mean the differences had been taken off the table. translation: for us, it was important that we have a commitment to a rule—based trade order, that we continue to fight against protectionism, and that we want to reform the world trade organization. that led to a barrage of tweets from the president, on board air force one itself. in one he said, they worked hard to avoid this kind of meltdown ang they thought they had done just that. but in the space of two or three tweets, the divisions between these supposed allies are now as deep as ever. following his exit from the g7 summit, president trump flew straight to singapore, ahead of an historic meeting with the north korean
6:04 am
leader, kim jong—un. we can talk now to our correspondent barbara plett—usher, who is in singapore. good morning to you. what is the atmosphere like 48 hours out from this historic summit? well, anticipation and you could say there is going to be a coming showdown between two larger figures in an unprecedented meeting. so a lot of preparation here, many have descended into this small citystate. lots of security arrangements, the meeting will take place on a tourist island echoes that is an area that can be easily secured, it can be blocked off and at the hotel can be blocked off and at the hotel can be blocked off. we know kimjong—un doesn't trouble very much, he has only been out of north korea twice and both times to china. this is his first real international trip, he is quite concerned about assassination attempts. and then everybody of
6:05 am
course wanting to know whether mr trump is the real deal maker, whether he can actually come up with a deal with kim jong—un that will be the needs of the americans and the north koreans to peace. —— for peace. thank you very much indeed. big companies will soon have to justify the gap in salary between their highest paid executives and the average worker. business minister, greg clark, wants publicly listed companies with more than 250 employees to publish their pay gap every year. the tuc has welcomed the move, but says workers should also be appointed to boards. our business correspondent, joe lynam has more. three of the best paid executives in the uk last year, between them they earned £70 million. be announcing a bossis earned £70 million. be announcing a boss is get paid competitive stuff will be brought into sharp relief from january next year. the average earnings were eight ftse 100 chief
6:06 am
executive earnings were eight ftse100 chief executive were £4.5 million last year, that is 120 times more than what the average employee earned. in january, publicly listed firms must publish their pay ratios. but there will be no official cap on them. nobody is suggesting that successful is this leader ‘s should not get remunerated welcome but we do think there is an accountability. we do think by having this transparency and for the first time being able to see that ratio between the top pay in the boardroom and the average worker, that will mean that bosses will think twice about the decisions that they make and that will lead to better decisions and sarah decisions for everybody in turn. the cbi better decisions and sarah decisions for everybody in turn. the (81 said comparing pay ratios between different sectors was as meaningless as comparing apples with oranges. the tuc welcomes the new rules but called for workers to sit on company boards. the millionaire brexit campaigner, arron banks, has confirmed he will appear before mps this week to answer new allegations about his links with russia. it's being reported in the sunday times that he had more meetings with russian officials than previously disclosed.
6:07 am

of the programme. is ten past six and you are watching bbc news. the main stories this morning: the g7 summit has ended with world leaders divided as president trump withdraws his support for a joint statement, accusing canada of "dishonesty". the president is now on his way to singapore for tuesday's historic first summit with north korea's kimjong—un. mr trump has described it as a mission of peace. here's alina with a look at this morning's weather. good morning to alina jenkins. how is it looking? there is some sunshine in the forecast today but like yesterday, some thunderstorms. this is taking yesterday afternoon in the scottish highlands, a very angry looking cloud and a fairly spectacular nimbus shortcoming up again in the scottish highlands. and and lightning not too far away when this photo was taken. still some thunderstorms in the forecast, especially across scotland, northern
6:12 am
england but otherwise, drive the many. some warm spells of sunshine and foremost, more sunshine than yesterday. a quick look at the pollen levels, very high again. mostly england and wales, moderate across the north—east of scotland, very— northern ireland and low for the final of scotland. and cloud across central and eastern parts of england, that will thin and break. west, a good deal of sunshine. a bit more clout across northern ireland and some showers across eastern parts of scotland and it is this pa rt parts of scotland and it is this part of scotland where we are likely to see showers through the day. to bridge a wise,19— 20 degrees celsius, 24— 25 in the south—east. that's put a bit more detail on those showers. compare to yesterday across scotland they are further east but still some gradual downpours, and and lightning and some of those will filter southwards into parts of northern england but the most, a largely dry day and spells of sunshine and fewer showers for northern ireland. it might catch
6:13 am
a scattering across the coast to south—west england, never too far from the channel islands where we saw a lot of rain yesterday. showers once again will lose some of their energy through this evening and in most energy through this evening and in m ost pla ces energy through this evening and in most places become dry and clear skies west but some mist and cloud forming. that cloud creeping back in into the east, ten bridges between 9- 14 into the east, ten bridges between 9— 14 celsius this topic still that monkey and humid feel across the south. we start the new week for many, largely dry. some good amounts of sunshine particularly across england and wales. more cloud for northern ireland. a cloudy day across scotland and here we could see patchy rain through the afternoon to. a cooler feel here, 15- 19 afternoon to. a cooler feel here, 15— 19 celsius across england and wales. a touch higher in the sunshine for the south and south—east. some changes to come from midweek onwards it. we lose the high—pressure, that athletic front of slipping its way south and eastwards, that will strengthen the
6:14 am
wind and bring outbreaks of rain. we will start next week warm and dry, but slowly it turns unsettled. some spells of rain for wednesday onwards to the north—west and for most of us it will feel more fresh towards the end of the week. later today, processions are taking place all over the uk to mark 100 years since some women won the right to vote. those taking part will be wearing either green, white or violet — the colours of the suffrage movement. among those getting involved are the staff at guys and st thomas's hospital. our reporter fiona lamdin‘s been to meet them. and behind—the—scenes at all the old est and behind—the—scenes at all the oldest hospitals in the country. upstairs, patients are waiting for operations. you will see a team of nhs staff doing something completely different. these women have been here for the last six weeks, remembering their
6:15 am
female heroes. i think it is really important that women vote and when we heard about the march as a reminder ofjust how far we we heard about the march as a reminder of just how far we have come within the uk, i thought it was something that was really worth celebrating. later today, these women with these banners willjoin thousands of others across the country as they march, remembering the suffragettes. one thing is it is an act of repair and joining things together. leading these medics is the artist in residence at kings couege the artist in residence at kings college london. in the river are floating the names of women that we have decided are significant women in terms of the history, they are pioneering women in hell. we are florence nightingale, we have got elizabeth garrett anderson, who is recognised as being the open —— first openly female physician to qualify in the country, and she was also a suffragette as well. the bottom corner, we have tested jowl,
6:16 am
andi bottom corner, we have tested jowl, and i stitched that on the day she died, because i wanted to recognised health much east stands the women and children particularly in healthcare. it is notjust about the historical nine women. there is also a place on the bannerfor the personal. even people have put the inspiring women, i put my grandma. i called her nano, i didn't know what her name was. i had to actually go and research with my own grandmother's name was. it was embarrassing, but i asked my mum. my mum and my grandma and my sister all have the same name. this experience has given me my grandmother's name. it is quite awesome. i had love i am showing a nurse out of thread needle. heatherwood has been nursing at this hospitalfor needle. heatherwood has been nursing at this hospital for decades. 40 yea rs at this hospital for decades. 40 years ago, women were in very traditional years ago, women were in very traditional roles within the health service, whereas now, a woman could be in any role, any role at all from
6:17 am
chief executive, nursing, doctors, physios, any role. the suffragettes campaigned from the healthcare for women will stop 100 years on, those in our help deliver it are stitching their names into history. fiona lambton, bbc news. talking about that during the course of the programme this morning. now on breakfast, it's time for the film review with jane hill and mark kermode. hello, and welcome to the film review on bbc news. to take us through this week's cinema releases, mark kermode is back with us. good to see you. what have you been watching, mark? a very mixed bag. we have jurassic world: fallen kingdom — the dinosaurs are back again. mcqueen, a documentary about the british designer,
6:18 am
and the boy downstairs, a rom—com with a difference. and i was horrified to read that the firstjurassic film was 25 years ago! a really long time ago. it was a really long time ago. ok, so, jurassic world: fallen kingdom, three years after the last film, jurassic world... yes, yes. keep up with it. so bryce dallas howard and chris pratt agree to re—team for a rescue mission. this time, they have to save the dinosaurs. that's the twist. the other way around. the dinosaurs are left on the island at the end of the last film. but the island is volcanic, the volcano is going to explode. they need to go and save the dinosaurs, otherwise they will go extinct for the second time. however, inevitably — this being jurassic park, jurassic world — the mission is not what they signed up for. here's a clip. do you remember the first time you saw a dinosaur? the first time you see them, it's like a miracle.
6:19 am
you read about them in a book, you see the bones in museums, but you don't really believe it. they're like myths, and then you see...the first one alive. this is not your fault. but it is. no. this one's on me. i showed them the way. there is a question in that clip about, "do you remember the first time you saw a dinosaur?" do you remember the first time you sanurassic park? yeah, i remember going to the cinema. and do you remember being really overwhelmed by it? oh, it was terrific. everyone was talking about it. it was a huge thing. and moments of real terror. the moments when the velociraptors are chasing them into the kitchen, and the kids hiding in the sink, so really... the problem now is that it does feel like we have seen most of this before several times.
6:20 am
on the plus side, this is directed byja bayona, who made a monster calls, who made the orphanage, who made the impossible, who i think is a director who really can do special effects, but also make movies with heart. and there are moments in this film in which you see the film that you think he probably wanted to make. there's one particularly gripping scene in a child's bedroom which recalls an iconic scene from nosferatu. and you get a little bit of that, the thing that you got in the firstjurassic park — "this is scary, this is creepy, this is actually. yes. the rest of it feels a lot more mechanical. again, for something which started out as a film about fairground rides involving dinosaurs, it's perhaps unsurprising that it feels mechanical. they've swapped the central roles with the chris pratt and the bryce dallas howard characters. that's kind of an interesting reversal. and the characters are much more human this time. in the last movie, i did say that the dinosaurs seemed much more convincing than their human counterparts. this time, bryce dallas howard has got rid of the high heels, she's now got sensible shoes on, and you do feel there is human interest. but the best i can say is it's fine,
6:21 am
and there are moments in it that i think, "oh, yeah, ok, that's the movie i would like to have seen." but it's very much a mechanical blockbuster roller—coaster ride. i think it's better than jurassic world, which i felt was rather soulless. it is better than that. but if you think back to the first time you sanurassic park — that visceral thrill. there are moments injurassic park that are every bit as good as jaws, and we're not in that league any more. yes. plus, it's not the end. there's more to come. oh, i can't wait for the next one. she lied! mcqueen, however, a fascinating troubled man. does it make a good film, though? it does. and i should say at the beginning, i know nothing about fashion. i mean, literally nothing, which is why i dress like an old ted. and i didn't know this story. because i, you know, live in a bubble. if it's not in a movie, i don't know about it. it's the story about lee alexander mcqueen, who was this east end boy who grew up to be a ground—breaking designer. worked for givenchy.
6:22 am
he had his own label, caused a real stir. and this draws on taped interviews from throughout his life. he says that he was no good at school but he was always drawing clothes when he was in chemistry lessons. and from a very early age, he started apprenticing, and people immediately started to see that he had real, naturaltalent, real, naturalflair. an extraordinary amount of talent. and what this shows you is, yes, some of the early shows are shocking. and i'm pretty certain i would have been one of the naysayers saying, "oh, this is outrageous," because i don't really understand the fashion world. but what i loved this documentary — the best documentaries take you into a subject about which you know nothing. this talks about the way in which the darkness in his life is reflected in his work. it's got really, really candid interviews with those that were close to him. it looks at every side of his character. and it does... by the end of it, i thought, "ok, i can see this. i can see why some of these creations were really astonishing, i can see the sculptural quality of those." and also the shows — as pieces of theatre — looked quite breathtaking.
6:23 am
oh, so dramatic! yes! i was won over, and as i said, i went in from a position of complete ignorance. what i know about fashion would not fill the back of a postage stamp, and ifound this really, really emotionally engaging. and, therefore, if you love fashion, then there's even more in it for you. yes, absolutely! absolutely! fascinating, albeit with a desperate ending that we are, sadly, all aware of. but interesting documentary. and a newcomer, i think, for number three. so the boy downstairs, which is the first feature for writer—director sophie brooks. stars zosia mamet, who is in hbo's girls. and she plays somebody who lives in new york, she's gone away to london for a year. she's come back, she's moved into an apartment and she discovers that the boyfriend that she left, that she broke up with, is now living in the same apartment block. he is the boy downstairs, which is kind of difficult because, you know, should they be friends, should they talk to each other? and the film is about that awkwardness that they have now, and also flashing back to their past relationship.
6:24 am
here's a clip. so how are you? oh, i'm good. thanks. yeah. i hear you've been making music and that it's going really well. stilla struggle, but, yeah, i mean, it's going pretty well. i'm on the road. wait, you're touring? oh, no, sorry. i meant the figurative road. i see how that would be misleading. i'm working in commercials. that's great. yeah. ben, that's great. thanks. yeah. i'm really happy for you. i love it when zosia mamet says, "you're touring?" "just on the road to —" and that's...the whole film has that kind of tone to it. and what i really like is, the writer—director is obviously a fan of nora ephron. she captures the awkward intimacies and sort of alienations of relationships, but the thing this really reminded me of... there was a movie many years ago by nicole holofcener called walking and talking. it was the first film which i ever
6:25 am
saw catherine keener. and it had that same sort of loose limbed intimacy. it's a way of making something that looks very casual, that looks like these characters have just turned up and they‘ re just having these conversations. that takes real precision to do. and although, it was weird. after the screening, a couple of people who i had seen it with, found the characters really annoying. i said, "that's not the point. you understand their lives and you believe in their relationship." i thought it was funny, i thought it was charming, it was moving. i thought it was really well put together. it moved me to tears at one point. i was really surprised by how much it charmed me, but it did very much. and i love nora ephron, and that awkwardness that we saw there is such a human reaction, isn't it? "i don't know what to do here!" it's that lovely thing about not quite being able to say the thing they want to say. not being able to address the fact that they've been in a relationship before. i thought it is great. i think you'll really like it. if you can seek it out, it is worth seeing. and you still think the best one this week is the breadwinner. yeah.
6:26 am
it's terrific, isn't it? it's so great. it actually seems to have done pretty well at the box office. i think it's outperformed expectations, which is great, because it's a hard sell, you know, a story about a young girl in afghanistan, the taliban. it's not an easy sell. but i think the animation is beautiful. i think nora twomey‘s done such a good job with this. it's adapted from a book, and i think it's done a brilliant job of putting that on the screen. and the best thing about it is it talks about a really difficult subject matter, but it does it in a way that i think younger audiences could watch and appreciate. oh, i think you could almost use this as a history lesson in schools. "this was life under the taliban and how difficult it was." we think of it is difficult for women, but it shows that it's also difficult for an awful lot of men. and this is one of the great things about animation. i mean, animation is such an extraordinary, vast giant, but you can do things in animated movies that perhaps you couldn't do in a live action film — tell a story in a way that makes it sort of comprehensible to a really, really wide audience. you can see from the clips we're looking at now, i mean, the animation is absolutely beautiful. i love this film. it's such a treat and, you know,
6:27 am
i'd advise everybody to seek it out. i thought it was such a wonderful piece of work. it is. it's terrific. and beautiful to look at, despite very difficult subject matter. despite some very dark subject matter, absolutely. yes. and a quick thought about dvds for anybody staying in this weekend. so i talked about this when it came out in the summer. the new version ofjourney‘s end, which is a brilliant adaptation of the play — and also the subsequent novel, taking on elements from that as well. i thought it really captures the camaraderie of the trenches. it's a brilliant performance by paul betta ny, who i've always been a huge fan of. but, you know, when you have a text that you know as well asjourney‘s end — and everybody‘s seenjourney‘s end — and you think, "what can you possibly bring to this that's new?" and then you watched an adaptation like this and you go, "0h, 0k. that." itjust made it come alive, it made it contemporary, it made it, you know... it's a very dark story, but i think it's told with real compassion. i really loved it. but does it work on a small screen? because this can be our hesitation with big, big scenes like that. you sort of feel a bit bad, actually — guilt — watching it on a small screen.
6:28 am
i'm going to say yes, because an awful lot of it takes place in a small, enclosed space. yeah, i'll be honest with you. i think it would work watching it on an iphone, because i think the performances are that good. although actually, the cinematography is very good. butjust not enough people have seen it. it needs to be seen. ok, fair point! and, therefore, available on dvd, and entirely valid. entirely valid. thank you very much. really interesting week, actually. thank you very much. thanks, mark. see you again next week. a reminder that you can find all the film news and reviews from across the bbc online at the website, bbc.co.uk/markkermode. and all our previous programmes are on the bbc iplayer, as well, of course. that's it for this week. see you next time. thanks for being with us. bye— bye. hello. this is breakfast with naga munchetty and rogerjohnson. here's a summary of today's main stories from bbc news. president trump has accused the canadian prime ministerjustin trudeau of being "dishonest and weak" after the g7 summit ended with world leaders divided. ajoint statement was released vowing to fight the us's decision to

6:32 am
remain undefeated. barnha rt important for him to come back and remain undefeated. barnhart and 20 foot days was the last time he fought. —— minehunter and 24. q -- 924. iam not i am not sure it was good value if you are one of the people watching that. fury won his comeback fight fairly comfortably — needing only four rounds to beat sefer seferi. he spent the first two rounds posturing and he was warned for playing—up to the crowd, but when they did get down to fighting, an uppercut seemed to do the damage and his opponent retired just before the start of the fifth round. i enjoyed it, it was about coming back, getting under the light again. and having a little dance under the lights on getting used to being back in the ring. if i am brutally honest, i could have not been out in ten seconds. i could have done him in the first round, that is being honest. but i got for my grounds instead of 30 seconds, basically.
6:33 am
and i enjoyed it, i got a good little forearm in the. tv explosion, baby! and fury will be back in the ring on 18th august in belfast. no word yet on who his opponent will be, but it's likely to be a stiffer test. on to the start of the rugby union summer tours and england's wait for a win continues after they were on the wrong end of a 10—try thriller against south africa in johannesburg. ben croucher was watching. seen the opposition celebrate has become as hard to watch for england as it has become a habit. although it again gave entertainment, it gave few a nswers it again gave entertainment, it gave few answers to england's problems. for 20 minutes at least, they didn't have any, spotting space is. but the springboks or left in with four of their own to take a stunning half—time lead. test rugby's highest ground, this game was breathless. but it was england who are winded when south africa got fresh air
6:34 am

cloud again, the scottish highlands, taking by our weather watchers yesterday afternoon. still some thunderstorms in the forecast today. mainly for eastern scotland and filtering to northern england, but for many, it is dry. more sunshine than we saw yesterday, pollen levels very similarto than we saw yesterday, pollen levels very similar to yesterday. very high across much of england and wales and northern ireland, moderate for the north—east and moderate for the southern half of scotland and lower for the north. this morning, the best of the sunshine are the west, more cloud across the east and south—east but that will thin and break. some mist and fog left, but ple nty of break. some mist and fog left, but plenty of sunshine and take a look at this and chow was developing across eastern parts of scotland. some of those will filter down into northern england stop it again, torrential downpours, a flash of lightning not out of the question. a bit more detail on the way that these showers look. compare to yesterday, they are a bit further east across scotland. a better day for the west but nowhere in unit from a shower. if you catch one or
6:43 am
two across northern ireland but a dry day and cloudier. some showers across northern england and a bit further east than they were. cumbria having a better day, some showers but not to sunbury across wales, maybe for south—east england but thunderstorms never too far away from the channel islands are. 0r much of england and wales it is warm and dry and good villas and shine. saw some showers come across scotland and maybe a view from south—west england but otherwise it is dry and will be cloud creeps westwards. cabbages on par for last night, 9— 14 degrees, mudgee and kimi -- unit night, 9— 14 degrees, mudgee and kimi —— unit across the south—west. we start the week mainly dry and good spells of sunshine across england and wales, a cloudy affair for northern ireland and also scotland where we can see some patchy rain to the afternoon. for most it is a dry start to the week, some showers filtering into northern england. in the sunshine, 19— 23 degrees. as we go through next week,
6:44 am
some changes. atlantic weather front firstly affecting northern ireland and scotland through wednesday and gradually slipping its weight southwards and eastwards. after a warm and dry start it will turn and settled next week, windy at times with rain and it will feel a bit more fresh. back to you. some of the gardeners will be pleased to hear that! thank you very much. back with the headlines at 7:00. but now on breakfast, it's time for the travel show. hello and welcome to the travel show, coming to you this week from the symphony of the seas, the world's largest ever cruise ship. in april, i was aboard for the ship's maiden voyage, so what better place to look back at some of our favourite recent
6:45 am
stories on the programme. here's a taste of what's to come. wow! let's kick off with a trip ade took back in march, to egypt, where he got his first—ever glimpse of the pyramids at giza. he also went to a new museum that's due to open later this year, that houses the world's largest archaeological collection. so here's 5,000 years of history condensed into five minutes. here in the shadow of the pyramids, a new ambitious project is entering the final stages of construction. the grand egyptian museum will be equipped to take the country's ancient treasures way into the future. this place is absolutely enormous. the footprint is 500,000 square metres.
6:46 am
there are over 3,000 labourers working here 24/7, and it cost over us$1 billion to construct. now, this is the main atrium, it's the entrance, and when you arrive, you will be greeted by this imposing statue of ramses ii, one of the greatest egyptian pharaohs. i think even he would have been impressed by the scale of this place. it's fit for a king. now, this state—of—the—art monument will be the new home for tutankhamen's treasures. and for the first time, over 5,000 objects discovered in the boy king's tomb will be on display to the public. but now, they'll be better protected by modern security, shedding new light on the lives of the ancient egyptians. so tell me about this piece here. this is one of my favourite pieces. it's one of the chariots of king tutankhamen. so we are pretty much looking
6:47 am
at a 3,500—year—old artefact, but in perfect condition, intact, as it was? if we consider the 3,500 years, it is in a perfect condition. restorers in these specially built labs are using the most advanced technology in the world to prepare the artefacts for display. it is very convenient now that we can use modern x—raying, we can determine the composition of the materials that were used, the original colours, the nature of the gilding, all of these new, valuable information, is being disclosed to us in a non—destructive way. tourism here has really suffered over recent years. not just because of political unrest, but also through acts of terrorism.
6:48 am
with assurances of increased security, it is hoped that this new centre dedicated to egypt's unique history will finally help to encourage tourists to come back. off to australia next, where henry visited the iconic outback town of alice springs, which has begun to slide off the tourist map in recent years, with low—cost airlines pulling out and several backpacker hostels closing down. but could pedal power be the answer? yes, alice springs has launched a plan to turn itself into a world—class mountain biking hub. the combination of beautiful landscapes and fantastic weather has made the trails around alice springs a local favourite for years, but the town wants to attract more international visitors. the territory hopes to bring
6:49 am
in nearly $70 million a year through biking tourism. clarke petrick from outback cycling leads tours throughout the trails here. well, in the winter, the weather is absolutely perfect. so we don't have the storms, the rain, the cold, it's just beautiful 25—degree days, really consistent weather. it means the riding never gets rained out, the trails can be quite interesting and they don't get washed away. so the environment is really cool for natural style mountain bike trails. and then in the summer, when it's hot, you get the amazing experience of riding at night, with high—quality lights, you see wildlife, beautiful temperatures, it is a unique experience probably for australia. and helping tourists understand more about the unique outback environment is another way the town is shaking up its image. the earth sanctuary was set up by former neighbours star dan falzon and with his family, he teaches
6:50 am
visitors about the outback. sam, what are we doing? ijoined dan to make some damper, a traditional aboriginal bush recipe for bread. that's made with their new recipe for beer, the red centre devil. the recipe for making damper is incredibly simple. bit of beer in first, some self—raising flour and some raisins. that looks good, that's perfect. as long as there's enough flour and it stops it getting burnt in there... that is lovely, mate, well done. after 45 minutes in the fire, the damper was ready to eat. and dan and his team prepared a feast of bush tucker to me to enjoy, including camel, kangaroo and croc. dip it in some beautiful virgin olive oil, and with some wattle seed dukkah, some outback wattle seed dukkah. this is amazing. it's fantastic. it is really good. it is lovely to be in a place like central australia, a very, very ancient environment
6:51 am
that can draw on the beautiful, rare and exotic foods here, that can help you along the way and add to a wonderfuljourney around this great country. for sure, good on you. cheers. great effort! now, for many of us, taking selfies in exotic locations and posting them online has taken the place of writing postcards and sending them home whilst on holiday. but if you are ever tempted to grab a selfie with some of the local wildlife, you could be helping to fund a sinister trade in animal exploitation, as carmen found out when she headed to thailand in may. infant animals are particularly vulnerable to the photo prop trade. here in the wildlife hospital, babies that have been rescued or abandoned are cared for in the nursery. this vet takes me behind the scenes to meet them. oh, he's hungry! oh, hi!
6:52 am
hi, little guy! can you tell me a bit about langurs, why are they so popular in the photo prop industry? because when they was born, their fur is completely full of orange, and with the pinky face, they are so, so cute, they are very popular to be appealing people who want to take a photo. he's still cute now! how old is vincent now? for now, he is around six months old. looking after animals like vincent is painstaking work. some have complex needs, like slow loris tien. he was previously kept as a pet, and vets here say a poor diet and lack of sunlight caused him to develop bone disease. hi! sorry to wake you. so, the loris is on the endangered list, isn't it? yes, poachers hunt them in the forest because they are quite cute, they have the big eyes. they are quite popular to bring them
6:53 am
to take a photo to the tourist, and pay money for them. oh, you poor little guy! in the wild, these animals would hold on to their mothers throughout infancy, so they instinctively cling on to each other to try and recreate the warmth and security they would normally get from their parents. this is our baby macaque, boonma and pearl, one male and one female. hi, boonma. hi, pearl. boonma! why does he want that one? don't try and steal pearl's! so, the owner brought her from night market, this means her mother was killed by a poacher. so sad. it's nice they have got each other now. they know they have each other, and that is a good thing for them. here at the foundation, tourists are encouraged to roll
6:54 am
up their sleeves, get dirty and help care for the rescued animals. and that's far more rewarding than taking a selfie to share with your friends. i think she's enjoying it. i might be getting a bath too! to finish of this episode of the travel show, this enormous cruise ship, the world's largest, had its maiden voyage in march. i got the chance to jump aboard free sneak preview. the scale of this ship is truly vast. she can carry close to 9,000 passengers and crew. she is longer than four football pitches laid end to end, weighs over 220,000 tons, and she has a staggering 18 decks and 23 swimming pools. i'm jumping on board a special 2—night cruise between the spanish ports of malaga and barcelona, before she welcomes her first paying passengers.
6:55 am
this is mine i think, 592. most rooms here in the ship are a pretty standard size, although you will pay extra for a balcony and sea view, and if you really want to push the boat out, there is a whole range of upscale suites with a suitably enormous pricetag to match. but it's the seemingly endlessly array of dining options, entertainment and attractions on board that really sets this ship apart. i am at the bionic bar where there is no human bartending staff, but we do have two robots, rockem and shockem, who will make my drink for me. and all i need to do is just press this button and the robots will go to work. so...off we go. there we go! now, i think is going to be the shaking bit... there we go!
6:56 am
hey! laughs. a little bit of spillage, some dripping, he is a bit messy, this robot bartender. and here we go! the finished product. ohh, look at this! my drink. thank you, shockem! the following morning, it's up early to try some of those on—boa rd attractions aimed at making this ship as family friendly as possible. first stop, the abyss. at 100 feet, it's the longest tubular slide at sea, and sends you plummeting a full ten decks in as many seconds. woo—hoo! and if all that activity builds up your appetite, then there's 22 restaurants, cafes and bars on board, some of them open around the clock. all operated under the watchful eye of gary thomas. i guess you have to provide a really wide array of food to people who will have very different tastes? absolutely, of course, and that is where my knowledge comes in, we do have fixed restaurants,
6:57 am
we have mexican themed, seafood themed restaurants. everything i do is about the guest demographics, and i have all this information prior to the voyages, so i can adjust a lot of what we do based on the guests that we carry. what are some of the challenges you face when you are out at sea? if you run out of food at sea, there is no running down the road. you have to get it right all the time. i have to order up my food, so if i miss a particular item, a popular item, i go from the most popular man on the ship to very quickly the most unpopular. that is all we have time for on this week's show. coming up next week... carmen heads back to thailand tojoin a beach clean—up with the help of a rubbish collecting robot. wow, look at all this. and we pay a visit to an island off the coast of columbia where not getting on with your neighbours really is not an option. so dojoin us then if you can.
6:58 am
and you can keep up with us while we are on the road by keeping up to date with our social media feeds, where you can share your travel stories with the world. but from me and all the travel show team, it is goodbye. hello this is breakfast, with naga munchetty and rogerjohnson. the g7 summit ends with world leaders divided. donald trump withdraws his support for a joint statement. tweeting from air force one, he accuses the canadian prime minister of being "dishonest and wea k". the us president is now on his way to singapore for historic talks with north korea's kim jong—un. good morning, it's sunday the 10th of june. also this morning:
