london newsroom. what exactly has been suggested? at the moment if you rent a house or flat you are eight out of ten te na nts we re flat you are eight out of ten tenants were almost called an assured short hold tenancy. they are usually a 12 month contract which, after that is up, roles for a month to month, giving a guarantee that the landlord will not ask you to leave or put up your rent. now the government is consulting on plans to change the way works are that the minimum contract available to te na nts minimum contract available to tenants is three years. the secretary of state for housing james brokenshire says the average tenancy at the moment last four years for many tenants, they live under a cloud of uncertainty. he says he wa nts to cloud of uncertainty. he says he wants to help people feel like the place that they rent is also their home and that they can put down roots. labour do point out that they had a proposalfor roots. labour do point out that they had a proposal for three—year minimum tenancies in their last

ma nifesto minimum tenancies in their last manifesto and they also said they would go much further. their proposals include a plan to rent increases which would stop landlords not only putting up the rent but from using rent increases as a way of forcing tenants out. -- cap rent increases. thank you, tom. seven out of 10 council leaders in england believe income tax needs to be raised to fund adult social care — that's according to research by the local government association, which says more money is needed now. the department of health and social care says it will publish its proposals in the autumn. the rail operator govia thameslink could lose its franchises unless it rapidly improves services in the south—east of england. hundreds of thousands of passengers have faced weeks of cancellations and delays following the introduction of new timetables in may. a government source said the process of removing franchises could start within weeks. thameslink has refused to comment but apologised for the disruption. tens of thousands of people have joined nationwide protests

across the us against president trump's immigration policies. more than 600 events were planned with major demonstrations in washington dc, new york and other cities. the marchers demanded that migrant children are reunited with their parents after being forcibly separated at the us border. 2,000 children are still being held in detention centres. let's talk holidays because lots of you will be going on them shortly, if you are not already. this is a bit of good news for you. millions of people who book their holidays online will be protected under new eu rules which come into force today. until now, trips booked via websites like expedia and on the beach did not have the same protection as traditional package holidays from travel agents. our business correspondent joe lynam has more. expedia, lastminute.com, ebookers and on the beach

are popular websites for booking holidays, but they are intermediaries. it means if things go wrong, they are not directly responsible. that ends today. more and more people are buying their holidays online but they don't get the same protection as they would have got from a traditional travel agent, so thanks to these changes today, anybody who buys a holiday and, for instance, there's an ash cloud or a hotel isn't up to standard or the airline goes bust, they will be protected, thanks to these new directives. 83% booked a holiday online last year. most of that was through booking sites. but only half of those holidays were financially protected if the hotel, airline or car rental company failed. that will change. but if you book each component part of your holiday separately, you won't get the new protections, as that's not considered a package holiday. when we book our holidays, we usually go online and just look for certain companies, making sure it's, like, atol protected.

there's a lot of websites where you get really good deals for holidays, i know we've been looking into, but ijust feel a bit cautious going forward with that because the deals are so good that we do not know if we're gonna get, like, say, protection. when i'm sort of looking protection for a holiday, i don't — i don't really think that much about it. ijust usually, you know, find a kind of cheap insurance deal. the new protections, which are eu—wide, only apply to holidays bought from today. so if you've purchased already online and haven't travelled yet, you won't be covered. in that respect, travel insurance always recommended. joe lynam, bbc news. some pretty funny pictures to show you now. a privately developed rocket has exploded and crashed to the ground just seconds after lift—off in japan. yes. it looks good as it is going up but then... 0h,

yes. it looks good as it is going up but then... oh, dear. hundreds of people were watching in shock as it fell from the sky in flames at a test site on the island of hokkaido. it was unmanned and there were no injuries reported. that is why we can laugh about it. the rocket was developed by a company which is hoping to provide affordable commercial space flights. yeah. it was japan's second attempt at sending a private rocket into space. i think the... did thatjust happened? did that just i think the... did thatjust happened? did thatjust happened? it did, yes. 0h, happened? did thatjust happened? it did, yes. oh, dear! lots of work to be done before they put passengers on those rockets! let's talk about holidays. millions of travellers are set to benefit from the biggest shake—up of holiday protection in a generation after new travel regulations came into force at midnight. the rules are designed to give holidaymakers who book through online travel agents the same safeguards as traditional package holidays. but will the new rules work, and could the cost of holidays increase? we'll discuss that in a moment but first, we asked people

in manchester how they book their summer breaks. when we book our holidays we usually go online and look for certain companies making sure it is atol protect it. if i am companies making sure it is atol protect it. ifi am feeling really lazier might offer a package deal or i will do the different bits individually so i might book the flights and spend the airbnb. there are a lot of websites where you can get really good deals for holidays. i know we have been looking into. i feel cautious going forward with that because the deals are so good that because the deals are so good that we do not know if we are going to get protection. to be honest when lam to get protection. to be honest when i am looking at protection for a holiday i don't think much about it, ijust usually find a kind of cheap insurance deal. let's discuss this with simon calder, travel editor at the independent. he joins us from central london. good morning to you. from now on, what will they have to provide? well, the whole idea is that we are

in the 21st century but the regulations open till this morning we very much still in the 1990s. the gold standard of holiday protection isa gold standard of holiday protection is a proper package holiday, basically anything goes wrong, your flight basically anything goes wrong, your flight does not take off because of ek traffic—control strikes were you turn up and the hotel is not open, you just call the two operator and ta ke you just call the two operator and take sorted out. —— air traffic. many people do something different, they go to an online travel agent, make their booking and it looks like a package holiday because they are buying flights and accommodation in the same transaction, that they are not. a couple of days ago a couple from preps you got in touch with me, they were in croatia and the hotel has been closed since christmas! we call the people who sold us the trip and they said read the terms and conditions —— croatia. sort it out with the hotel. all bookings made today, that changes. if you've made a booking and it hasn't happened, you are on your own as i'm afraid

millions of people will be this summer. millions of people will be this summer. why are you worried, simon, this may cost us more? well, i am not, the travel industry is a bit grumpy about it. mind you, they are grumpy about it. mind you, they are grumpy anyway because who wants to go abroad when it is beautiful weather here? and england are in the world cups they are not selling as well as they might. they say providing the kind of help that these regulations require to find alternative flights, to rebook you ina alternative flights, to rebook you in a hotel, to pay compensation if it goes wrong, but will push up costs a nd it goes wrong, but will push up costs and we will have to pass that on in the form of higher prices. of course, the existing package travel companies say actually, this is levelling out the playing field, we are generally in favour with it but they are annoyed because they only get ten weeks warning of what the new rules would be and worth pointing out christian but if you are one of the people who books their own holders of —— accommodation, a lady in manchester

said ibook with airbnb and saw my flight said ibook with airbnb and saw my flight out, nothing changes, whether independent arrangements, if anything goes out you are on your own, talk to your travel insurance. victoria here. do you think that means more people will be pushed to these sites that do provide flights and cars and hotels and the rest of it because they think they will get more protection, because we are quite used to shopping around these days. it really is addressing a problem that most people probably haven't been aware of because if your holiday goes normally and you are booked through one of these travel agents online, it is cheaper than the travel agent down the road, you have been blissfully unaware that things are not as good as they might be. so i don't know that it will drive an increase in business to online travel agents and of course real human travel agent in your high street still deliver excellent service generally and sell very good package holidays but hopefully, it will mean that if you

are hopefully, it will mean that if you a re left hopefully, it will mean that if you are left high and dry abroad, you actually have somebody who will pick up actually have somebody who will pick up the pieces and you do not have to spend a fortune and get very stressed out sorting it out yourself. 0k, we it there, simon calder, thank you. he has a point, it is glorious here with england still in the world cup. exactly, go to cornwall, watch it in a pub, why would you need to go anywhere? where are you going, chris? i was hoping this hot spell of weather outlasts england's spell in the world cup. all the other way round. this is the winter hill fire with a plume of smoke extending from the fire out towards the irish sea. what is interesting, it is not producing as much smoke now so it looks like the army and the firefighters have done a good job in subduing blazers will stop hopefully keeping them under control. yesterday's highs, we saw it the

high 20s widely. the lowest temperature we have had for the uk in the last six days. on the satellite, an area of cloud extends from france. a line of thunderstorms working in across the english channel. 0ne working in across the english channel. one or two pushing into dorset at the moment but the bulk of the showers might get into southern wales but most likely across pembrokeshire. a bit more in the way of cloud from northern ireland and we have weak weather front moving into the far north—west of scotland, bringing a little bit of rain. ten bridges up to 27 in edinburgh. it

will feel hot. the humidity locks some heat in as we start to get into the evening time. temperatures still up the evening time. temperatures still up to 23 in london and birmingham not far behind. it will be an uncomfortable night's sleep ahead. generally, pressure is still higher across the country. an area of cloud across the country. an area of cloud across scotland. it will be producing lower temperatures to scotland. temperatures are still above average. tomorrow, we are looking at highs. the heatwave looks set to continue for much of the week

ahead. for most areas, a dry week ahead. for most areas, a dry week ahead. currently see an end to the hot spell of weather. it might be with us for the next couple of weeks but one of two thunderstorms knocking around as well. not widespread rain. nothing i can see for the time being. beret and telling everyone to go to cornwall. we could all go to blackpool where the top temperatures are. —— phair —— there i am. it is 717 at the moment. it's more than a0 years since a play called the elephant man — about the appalling treatment of a man with a serious physical disfigurement — was first performed on stage. but while the theme of the play was arguably ahead of its time, the casting was not. joseph merrick, the lead character, has never been played by a disabled

person — until now. amanda parr reports. step in and see! stand up, you bloody donkey, up! roll up, roll up, to see the elephant man. the star of victorian freak shows. a figure of keen interest to the medical community. in this production, an iconic disabled role reclaimed. it isa iconic disabled role reclaimed. it is a strident step beyond what jamie better at calls the lazy and offensive casting of the past. —— jamie beddard. i don't think. maybe, i really hope.

it will be a bit more meaningful. i need to do a good job. jamie says working with drama school graduates like this will normalise inclusion and exciting approaches to casting. not having that strange feeling that you are approaching a subject matter that you don't have a right to talk about, now that jamie is here, we can explore that and thatis is here, we can explore that and that is a huge experience for so many people and it's nice to put it into a big stage. it is amazing to be doing this at this stage of our careers. i don't know. what we are doing is, if you open up theatre to everyone, the possibilities are kind of internet and i think it's time that we saw more people represented

on stage from everywhere, i guess. and you know, that's where things are going. a feel we are on a roll and it's nice to be part of that, actually. stick. stick. the show includes integrated captioning in sign language, relaxed performances and better wheelchair positions in the auditorium. it is a groundbreaking project with a clear proof —— clear mission. to embrace the fact that differences and rich. both in easter show and the world beyond. —— both in the easter show. —— this show. time now for a look at the newspapers. prince william has been in the

middle east this week and is telling the mera it has affected him quite deeply. he wants a just and lasting peace inglis. —— the mirror. he says he will never forget his time in palestine and israel. —— lasting peace in the middle east. a few stories here. a picture of maradona in the middle. where is the hand of god when you need it? thameslink might lose its source. if it doesn't up might lose its source. if it doesn't up its game. the cracking goals that

on dementia crisis. it could leave 100,000 people suffering from dementia with no beds by 2035. we know we have a shortage of beds in the hospital system. it is difficult for hospitals to get patients found accommodation in social care. you need specialist social care for people with dementia. what the society is now saying is, specialist ca re society is now saying is, specialist care homes will be cherry picking the patients they want to take, leaving many others with no accommodation whatsoever. it won't be picked up by families because families are not always geared up all capable of actually looking after people with dementia. all capable of actually looking after people with dementiam all capable of actually looking after people with dementia. is that the way it will have to go? we will have to look again, in britain,

family looking after family. it happens abroad. specialist care is required for dementia that 30% of people in hospital beds at the moment shouldn't be there. there is no accommodation for them. we will have to look at families taking their loved ones back home. in the yea rs their loved ones back home. in the years to come, it will also be talking about income tax for the nhs and social care. when i worked in france, you got a pay slip that was split into various columns. you knew what you are paying to the nhs. you t what you are paying to the nhs. you opt out of some, you get tax relief on others. you are not going to get, in the years ahead, just as staff salary without allocations to certain parts of society. it is predicted that tax will have to go up predicted that tax will have to go up to paper the increase in costs the nhs. that you want to know where it goes. the other make you want to know it is being spent efficiently.

with christian fraser and victoria fritz. good morning. here's a summary of today's main stories from bbc news: firefighters are continuing to tackle a major blaze which has engulfed moorland above bolton. strong winds yesterday fanned the flames on winter hill and firefighters say it will take days to extinguish. around 30 miles away on saddleworth moor, crews are continuing to fight a fire which started a week ago. seven out of 10 council leaders in england believe income tax needs to be raised to fund adult social care, according to research by the local government association. the department of health and social care says it will publish its proposals in the autumn but care providers are warning that more money is needed now. we have plenty of stories of people

being left stuck in hospital and they are medically fit to go home or return to a care home but actually, a struggling to get services organised for them and i think that isa organised for them and i think that is a result of a really underfunded sector. millions of people who book their holidays online will be protected under new eu rules which come into force today. from now on, websites like expedia and on the beach will be held financially responsible when things go wrong. the government estimates that 10 million holidaymakers will benefit from the changes. people who rent their homes could be given more security under government proposals to introduce a minimum tenancy term of three years. figures show that eight out of 10 tenants currently have contracts of six or 12 months and ministers say longer agreements would allow them to put down more roots in their communities. the rail operator govia thameslink could lose its franchises unless it rapidly improves services in the south—east of england. hundreds of thousands of passengers

have faced weeks of cancellations and delays following the introduction of new timetables in may. a government source said the process of removing franchises could start within weeks. thameslink has refused to comment but apologised for the disruption. a great white shark has been spotted in spanish waters for the first time in more than a0 years. this footage was captured by scientists and volunteers aboard a research ship operated by the spanish conservation organisation, alnitak. that was a dolphin! yes, that at one isa that was a dolphin! yes, that at one is a shark, i can spot a shark from miles off. great whites are normally associated with south africa and australia but are, in fact, native to the mediterranean. we normally snorkelled there. who knew? do not put that the brochure. we may not be snorkelling there any

more. they will not mention that. watch out for your toes. what a game yesterday. i love the france— argentina game. brilliant, two brilliant games. uhrig ray knocking portable out as well. —— uruguay. —— portugal. and lionel messi and christian emeril do —— cristiano ronaldo will not be there any more. neither has scored a goal in the knockout stages of a world cup so they are both on their way home. france were the first team to make it through to the quarter—finals. a 11—3 win over lionel messi's argentina. france went ahead before an absolute stunnerfrom angel di maria made it 1—1 and argentina then took the lead, but france levelled through benjamin pavard. kylian mbappe then showed the world what he's capable of. he scored two goals, becoming the only teenager to do so in a world cup knock—out game since pele in 1958. a brilliant performance.

cristiano's ronaldo's portugal were also sent home with a 2—1 defeat against uruguay. edinson cavani scored both goals for the south americans, who'll face france in the quarterfinals on friday. we'll take a look at the impact of those results from a south american perspective injust a minute. but first, let's check in with our correspondent at the england camp, david 0rnstein. gareth southgate has a full squad to choose from but we pretty much know who'll be starting against colombia on tuesday, don't we? we do, richard, welcome to the gulf of finland, england's based on a short distance from here, they will be waking up in their hotel on the penultimate day's preparation before the big match against colombia. we think that gareth south date will revert to his first choice team after making eight changes to the defeat by belgium in england's final

group game. if it doesjordan pickford would be in goal, harry maguire, john stones and kyle walker in back with wingbacks kieran trippier and ashley young, if he can keep danny rose out of the team, jordan henderson holding in midfield, in front of him, jesse lingard, raheem sterling and dele alli and then of course that main man harry kane upfront, the top scorer in the competition so far. lots of speculation as to whether england made the right decision are changing so many players in the match. yesterday we heard from dele alli and here was his view on the subject. we have to approach every game but we are playing the best team in the world. there are some topsides. —— we have to approach every game like we are playing the best team in the world. you know, there are some top sides, no international game is easy, so for us, we are not focusing on the next games, we want to get through colombia. they are dangerous side and they have got a lot of great

talent, so we have to be switched on to that and not look into into the future, into the next game. i suppose those changes that gareth southgate made against belgium in the defeat, that has been the main talking point. do you think the resista nce talking point. do you think the resistance at all but any loss of momentum has been in the england camp. —— do you get a sense at all? from seeing them in training yesterday, the media was allowed into the first 15 minutes, it was a sharp and intensity and focus on from the players we have spoken to it seems not think the wind has been taken out of their sails by the defeat against belgium. but the truth will be on tuesday night against colombia because there is no marginfor against colombia because there is no margin for error now, england simply has to win or they are going home. they have not won a knockout match ata they have not won a knockout match at a major competition since 2006, they have only won two of those in they have only won two of those in the 1990, and only six since 1966, so the 1990, and only six since 1966, so they have a huge task on their hands but also a great opportunity for the young exciting squad. they will train again today behind closed

doors and then it is full steam ahead for colombia, one more training session on monday morning and then they fly in the afternoon and then they fly in the afternoon and play the game on tuesday evening. if i focus quickly on colombia, they are no sort of pushovers really, they really have a reputation at the level having reached the quarter—finals four yea rs reached the quarter—finals four years ago in brazil. they have a strong attack and defence but perhaps not such a strong midfield. the key question for them is will rodriguez, their best player, the top scorer in brazil in the competition, the available because he limped out of their last match, he limped out of their last match, he was an injury doubt before the last match, and was the only player in the squad who did not train yesterday. england are ranked for places above colombia in the world, they also have never lost to them, they also have never lost to them, the england will have some confidence going into the match but colombia have a huge support behind them and england will lead to cou ntera ct them and england will lead to counteract that because their fans will be outnumbered so it should be a brilliant match, not long to go

now. ochi forward to that, david, thank you. —— looking forward. let's talk about the south american teams then. argentina are on their way home, uruguay safely through to the quarterfinals. and, of course, colombia take on england on tuesday. tim vickery is an expert on south american football and joins us from rio dejaneiro. hello. good morning. let's talk about lionel messi and argentina, also on their way home, what is the reaction been to that in that part of south america? do you like my wallcha rt of south america? do you like my wallchart behind me, i have a brazil shirt i have an england shirt, i have uruguay shirt, no surprises there whatsoever. really, if you hadn't seen this coming with argentina, you need to consult your optician. the headline in one of argentina's leading newspapers, the end of the messi generation, no

miracle but at least we were eliminated with dignity and i think that tells you a lot. from the reaction of the players at the end, they knew. this argentina side, if you have followed them over the last 18 months, they have been something ofa 18 months, they have been something of a shambles. it cannot defend, they are totally dependent on flashes of individual problems from lionel messi and one of the golden rules of football is that the stars shine when the collective balance of the site is correct and argentina never had that collective balance so for some time now their defence has been held together by a combination of duct tape and javier masha rhino, and he is not capable of doing that any more so and he is not capable of doing that any more so they collapsed against mbappe and really i think the difference between the two sides was much wider than 4—3. difference between the two sides was much wider than 4-3. absolutely. you mentioned have yet there, he announced his retirement, do you think we will see lionel messi is 31 now will he be in the world cup again. -- javier. ithink now will he be in the world cup again. -- javier. i think you will

have to think long and hard and two yea rs have to think long and hard and two years ago after losing in the final in newjersey, messi announced his retirement from international football in the heat of the moment, straight after the game, he has not done at this time and i think you will want to think a little bit more about this. it is difficult for a south american player based in europe, playing to their national team, it involves sacrifices, a lot of travelling, and at the end of it, if all you get his criticism, you wonder why he will want to do it, and he could well decide that the best way to prolong his career at top level with barcelona is to retire from international football or at least take a break from it. we could well have seen the end of lionel messi with argentina and i think perhaps some of their recent results, they take a little bit of the wait of him because so much of the wait of him because so much of the discourse, the media discourse, over the past years has been about messi under achieving with argentina. we have seen that all of

their defensive deficiencies and also an ageing side and we have seen yet has to be a little mini hercules to carry this lot on his shoulders for as long as he has said the idea of messi not doing it argentina has to be put to bed a little bit, we have seen other context in which he has operated and it hasn't been a good one. let's put uruguay to one side, probably no surprise there, through it souare is up front, but england's next opponents colombia, we we re england's next opponents colombia, we were talking about it before, what is the latest on rodriguez, will he play? how crucial is if the colombians? colombia contenders close to their chest, as you would expect. i think he is important indeed. with him, colombia have a frightful a very dangerous people, if you use them supply, they will find gaps. front of goal in the england back three. they have a fly down the right wing, they have the

lovely playmaker, this remake of two decades ago, a lovely put your foot on the ball playmaker, but they are at their best when rodriguez links up at their best when rodriguez links up with quintero. their outstanding performance was against poland when they were in harness. you take one out and he strides the field like a prince. they are not the same side. my prince. they are not the same side. my reading, for what it is worth, would be that with rodriguez fit, firing on all cylinders, colombia a narrow favourites at without him, perhaps england are narrow favourites. we shall see whether he plays or not. thank you indeed, much appreciated. here's what's going on today — bbc one is the place to find spain versus russia at 3 o'clock. then at 7, it's croatia against denmark. commentary on that one on radio 5 live. valtteri bottas set a new track record to claim pole position for today's austrian grand prix. he finished just ahead of his mercedes team—mate, world championship leader lewis hamilton, and ferrari's sebastian vettel in qualifying. it's bottas' first

pole of the season. wimbledon starts tomorrow, of course, and caroline wozniacki has plenty of momentum, after winning the warm—up event at eastbourne. the world number two beat aryna sabalenka in straight sets to take the title for the second time, nine years after the first. and germany's mischa zverev beat lukas lacko to win his first ever atp title. that means he and alexander zverev are the first brothers to win a singles event in the same season for 29 years. a talented family! dina asher—smith set a new british championship record to win the 100 metres in birmingham. she ran it in 10.97 seconds. she's still the only british woman to break the 11—second mark. asher—smith is building up to the defence of her european 200 metres title in berlin in august. great performance from her and of

course with wimbledon, you know, all of the talk is about andy murray, how will he go after all of his injury problems. he starts on monday. we will see how he goes. i am more nervous now about the england game, having watched timber career. i thought we were the favourites. no! it is interesting his perspective. we think that the colombians as we mentioned have superstars —— tim vickery. notjust rodriguez but plenty of other players. that is kind of the problem with south american football, they have these kind of totemic players and they built all of their teams around it. if the player does not perform all they have an off day or they cannot play, the team can just fall apart. having said that, victoria, harry kane... it may be the same for us! see you shortly. here's chris with a look at this morning's weather.

i hadn't realised because your head was in the way, the smoke is going out to the irish sea. is the winter hill fire burning at the momentjust to the north of bolton. the plume of smoke is extending across into the irish sea. the red dots are whether wildfires are themselves. it is difficult to make out because they arejust there. difficult to make out because they are just there. —— difficult to make out because they arejust there. —— but difficult to make out because they are just there. —— but they are just there. there is not much smoke coming from these, the firefighters and the army have done a good job in subduing perhaps the worst of the fires here. hopefully keep them under control. yesterday, another hot day. temperatures were widely a again into the high 20s. the top ten bridges in a number of locations across england and wales. more of the same to come to most. down towards the south—west, an area of cloud with thunderstorms working in

across the english channel. they will be arriving across south—west england. 0ne will be arriving across south—west england. one of two into dorset that the bulk of them are further west and particularly in cornwall in devon. they will edge up towards wales stop if they get there, it it is most likely the will see them around pembrokeshire. we are looking at more hot and sunny weather. northern ireland, a bit more in the way of cloud than recent days. a hot one. temperatures in edinburgh up to 30. to which probably topping out at 31 and 32 later on this afternoon. another hot and increasingly humid day. because there is more humidity in the atmosphere, the temperatures will be slower to fall overnight. it will be slower to fall overnight. it will be slower to fall overnight. it will be added at a stinker, really. at 11 o'clock when you are thinking of god to bed in london and

birmingham, —— thinking of going to bed. it will be our hot night. thurlow near france is continuing to bring isolated showers across southern areas. —— at low. there is a cold front with just a lump of cloud and it will knock the temperatures back a little bit. not a cold day by any stretch. still warm in the sunshine. further south, the highest to bridges again for england and wales. topping out at about 31 degrees. this incredible he wave is set to continue for much of the week ahead. a few isolated storms knocking around from time to time but the bulk of us will have a dry week with plenty of hot spells of sunshine. in the warmest places, we will see the temperatures envelope that is. —— temperatures. i can't see any big changes on the horizon. brilliant. more hot weather. he

a lwa ys brilliant. more hot weather. he always has the good news. we'll have the headlines at 8:00. time now for the travel show. this week on the show: i'm in bulgaria to get an exclusive look inside one of the most extraordinary abandoned buildings in the world. dora, it's... it's incredible. and uncover treasures near the black sea coast. 0h! there is an ongoing debate about how to make bulgaria's communist era buildings relevant for the 20th century. and today, i'm travelling

to the centre of bulgaria to a place that's lain forgotten for decades that could become one of the most popular tourists draws in the entire country. with me is dora, an architect. she's an expert on the site. i'm excited. it has been a long time i have wanted to come here. wow, it's massive, isn't it? at 70 metres high and 60 metres wide, buzludzha looks out over the balkan mountains. completed in 1981, it was built as an iconic national monument to glorify the nationalist party. it's here because this was the birthplace of the bulgarian socialist movement. this is powerful, powerful architecture. following the collapse of the regime, the building was abandoned, and later shut off to the public as it fell into disrepair. recently, the only people to have seen inside are a select group of photo—hungry urban explorers who have broken in illegally.

this is a really big deal today. the travel show is the first international tv crew to be allowed in the front doors. we are very excited and lucky to be able to do so. are you ready? oh, wow. here it is. me first? welcome. it's seen better days, hasn't it? definitely. it cost the equivalent of $35 million in today's money to build buzludzha. since it was abandoned, the years, they haven't been kind. dora, it's... it's incredible. there's some work to do, obviously, but it's still very impressive. look at this. 50 square metres of mosaic inscribed on top. there is the symbol of communism, actually, the hammer and sickle, you can see the workers below it.

so there is a mosaic on the ceiling, but the entire perimeter is also covered in a mosaic. we have actually more than a thousand square metres of mosaic inside buzludzha. out of all of these, which one is your favourite? 0ver there, the people defeating a dragon. and the dragon represents capitalism, the monarchy, and fascism, all the enemies, and it's defeated by the communist people. when the monument opened, thousands came from all over the country to marvel at it beauty. there were sound and light shows and talks from well—known communist artists and poets. one person who remembers that time well is bedros. he and his father were the official photographers for the building. bedros, you were here and you saw this room and this building at its best. what was that like?

and what do you feel seeing what it has become? time could be running out for buzludzha. if the roof collapses, the walls will go too, and the building will be lost. there is now an urgent debate about what exactly to do with the monument. those who remember the repression and hardships of the communist era would like to see it destroyed. others want it restored to its former glory. but dora is working on a proposal to preserve it as a museum to discuss the past. it was built to glorify the communist idea. we do not want to do that nowadays.

we just want to know the history and to understand why it was built. but if we keep it intact and leave the symbols in their present condition, i think it will be much more powerful and meaningful for the next generation to understand. it'll be a symbol of much more than what it was. communism was a symbol of the ups and downs and rollecoasters of bulgaria and what it went through. there is no doubt it is a controversial but very powerful and iconic building, and so it feels worthy of preservation in whatever form for me. but it ultimatley is down to bulgaria itself to decide how it remembers its past going into the future. welcome to varna on the bulgaria's beautiful black sea coast. this is the bulgaria's summer playground. but besides enjoy the beach, if you are a little bit more

adventurous, you can go beneath the surface and discover what is hiding. we're meeting a group of divers here today and they're taking us out on the boat. hey! nice to meet you. you too, you too. welcome on board. i'm happy to be here. today i'm heading out with diver svetlo ivanov and his team. he's promised to show me a shipwreck just a few miles off the coast. the black sea got its name not from its colour but by its reputation for being a very dangerous sea to cross. below us there is an uncountable number of ship tracks, and that's a draw for divers and tourists from around the world. the water here in the black sea can be very cold, so a thick wetsuit is vital. it's a magical experience descending down and suddenly seeing the shipwreck appearing. this particular ship is a cargo

ship called the swift. it's thought that it was british made in 1884 and sank in unknown circumstances in 1933. ships in the black sea are far better preserved than in other seas like a mediterranean. the black sea is actually more like an enormous lake that funnels into the mediterranean through the bosphorus, creating conditions that keep the wrecks intact. it is incredible down there. you first go under and you see all these incredible moonjellies, the white jellyfish, just floating around you. and that is all you see for about the first minute as you are pulling yourself down along the line. and then all of a sudden the shipwreck looms out of the green depths. but it was incredible down there.

there are countless shipwrecks to explore along the black sea coast. mostly they are from the last 100 years or so. but i have arranged to meet a group of bulgarian underwater archaeologists who are making some ground—breaking discoveries that are farfar older. nayden prahov is part of the centre of underwater archaeology in bulgaria. they have been working all across the black sea, but today they are planning to explore a site at the bottom of lake varna, just inland. it is thought that in this unlikely location was a bronze age settlement. today, the team is looking for evidence. the team here, together with the centre for maritime archaeology at the university of southampton, and experts from across the world,

have recently made some groundbreaking discoveries thousands of metres under the sea. they have uncovered what is thought to be the world's biggest cache of artefacts from a greek, roman, 0ttoman and byzantine periods. thanks to the conditions here, incredible details have been preserved, even coils of rope. it goes to show howjust to make just how important the black sea has been for seafaring over the ages. after almost an hour underwater, the divers resurface. they have found something special. wow. so we have bone. this is like rock, though. this is really old. maybe bronze age, early bronze age. but we found big posts, some 30 centimetres in diameter. which means people did live here in the bronze age. yes. that is a big find, then. we were not sure if we would find something and i was so happy when i saw this wooden posts protruding from the silt, from the mud.

some of the team's other findings are shown museums along the black sea coast. we are just arriving back to shore. when i woke up this morning i did not think i would be able to hold something that normally belongs in a museum in my hands. that is it for this week, but next week we have a food fiesta for you asjo tries her best to beat the italians at their own game at a pizza eating contest in naples. and ade goes vegan in london for a day. this is good. a tour bus around london eating food that will keep us around forever. so try to catch that again if you can. a reminder that you can follow us on social media. but from me and the team here bulgaria, goodbye. good morning, welcome to breakfast with christian fraser and victoria fritz.
