of its kind in the country, and the 46th time it's been held. but according to figures from the metropolitan police, attacks against the lgbt community have doubled over the last four years. paul murphy—kasp has the details. attacked outside a nightclub. two men set upon during a bus journey on a night out. just two of the growing number of hate crimes against london's growing lgbtq+ community. will was attacked on the tube last october. they grabbed hold of me and got me in a headlock, they threatened to stab me and told me to apologise for being gay. my friends tried to get them off me. they held me in such a tight headlock i couldn't breath. really awful abuse they were shouting at us. many consider london to be one of the safest cities in the world to be gay, but according to a recent yougov and pride poll, half of lgbtq+ londoners have been victims of abuse over sexuality or gender identity, and according to figures from the met, that number is on the rise.
5:32 am
in 2014, just over 1,100 hate crimes were reported in london against the lgbtq+ community. that has increased steadily and last year had doubled to 2,094. there is a spike in the summer months, but police say it is hard to attribute that to pride season. we do patrols in any areas where we think there might be people looking to abuse other people, homophobically. we have specially trained officers, hate crime liaison officers. 0ur our main objective is to increase reporting from the lgbt community. and that is exactly what will did. in may, his attackers were given referral orders and had to pay compensation. that is a punishment he believes is too lenient. i don't feel like justice was served. i don't feel it sets a very good example that homophobia is completely unacceptable. although will wasn't physically injured in the attacks, eight months on, mental scars remain. there are times when you do get nerves, you get concerns when you are on public transport. for me, i am not going to let it,
5:33 am
you know, completely change the way i am, because that's letting other people win. and also, i am still a proud gay man and i'm not going to change in that way. coming up at 6:00 breakfast with naga munchetty and rogerjohnson, but first on bbc news, the travel show. this week on the travel show, we are in my hometown of london. i will be finding out how meat—free has gone mainstream. this is good, a tour bus around london eating foods that will help us live forever. also coming up on this week's show, we are heading underground to meet a man with a passion for public art in new york. and we eat more than is good for us in naples, as wejoined thejudging panel in search of the world was
5:34 am
make most perfect pizza. slice number seven. mario has had over a0 slices. let's kick off in london, where we are looking at the latest food trend to sweep the united kingdom. veganism. it's changed. with hundreds of dishes to choose from, people packing here at vigo nights in fashionable shoreditch in the east of the city. —— vegan
5:35 am
night. i have only been vegans for maybe six months, and even compared to where i started, the amount of the game and been wonders of food in supermarkets is crazy. —— amount of vegan abundance of food. supermarkets is crazy. —— amount of vegan abundance of foodlj supermarkets is crazy. —— amount of vegan abundance of food. i was eating lots of chicken dips and chicken kievs, i didn't feel that so i started eating more fruit and vegetables and i felt energy i'd never really felt before. vegan in london in 2018 is really, really easy fiow. london in 2018 is really, really easy now. there are so many cool places to eat, you can getjunk food, you can get healthy food, you can eat anywhere. it is super easy. the vegan market is growing, it is incredible. it is so exciting, what is happening. according to the vegan
5:36 am
society, the number of vegans in the uk went up by 350% in ten years, and that was before the huge trend in the last two mackie is kicked in. it is particularly here in london were lots of the change has been happening. which might make this one of the best places in the world to travel to as a vegan. so, i am going to ta ke travel to as a vegan. so, i am going to take a fresh look at a london as a tourist for the day and i'm going to enjoy some of those classic london travel experiences, but with a vegan twist. it all starts with a bus tour, of course, on one of these. and it's no order marray bus tour. this is a vegans afternoon tea bus tour, offering a vegan version of the traditional british afternoon tea on an iconic red routemaster bus. what a way to see those sites.
5:37 am
a fellow passenger on board today is dominica, from the vegan society. how has veganism managed to attract the next generation? what is it that has changed ? the next generation? what is it that has changed? because it has been around for a long time. veganism has been around for 70 years, which not many people are aware of. but i think in the digital age of information, you log into your social media accounts, you are bound to see something about a veganism at some point, so i pick a lot of people sort of started to understand that animals are not here for us, they are here with us on this planet, and we share it with them. and as you can see, we can have all the things that meat eaters have, which is cake and sam burgess, you can basically veganise anything that you want. all i heard was the word cake, nothing else. cake, that sounds good to me. vegans decay, i'm
5:38 am
sold. normally to make a cake, you need milk and eggs, what would you replace that with? vegan cake has all the normal ingredients you'd expect cake to contain, but for example, dairy milk, you can use on and milk or soy milk. replacing eggs is as simple as mashing up a banana, because eggs are used as a binding product, rather than full flavour. so the banana has a similar consistency. this is good. this is good, a tour bus around london eating foods that will help us live forever. that is well said. ok, maybe not live forever. but a plant —based diet can have some health benefits. which you might not make the most out of if you get involved
5:39 am
in the latest vegan trend, fast food veganism. and what could be more british than a classic fish and chips supper. danny sutton‘s chip shop is about as traditional as a chippy gets. well, it smells like a classic fish and chips shop. i can smell the vinegar aromas and the chips and the fish. there you go. grilled fish. pies. some alloy. —— saveloy. even here, danny has come up saveloy. even here, danny has come up with a vegans are to be traditionalfish and up with a vegans are to be traditional fish and chips. up with a vegans are to be traditionalfish and chips. —— vegan answer. he uses marinated banana blossom. 0f answer. he uses marinated banana blossom. of all the things that i could think of that would substitute
5:40 am
forfish, a could think of that would substitute for fish, a banana could think of that would substitute forfish, a banana plant, or banana leaf, is the last thing that would come to my mind. how did you come up with that? well, i was fishing one day, in the sea, and in my lunchbox... how did they come up with it? i just lunchbox... how did they come up with it? ijust did lots of research, and i found with it? ijust did lots of research, and ifound that with it? ijust did lots of research, and i found that it is about the texture more than anything else. it had the right texture. so with a little seasoning going on, we could get close to the flavour and texture of the fish. so, time for a lesson from the master. first, stripping the banana blossom. nothing there! one more. that said, perfect. now, start in the centre. whittle it down and try to slice it straight down the middle. yes, of course. straight down there. exactly. you've got it. see, i can smell it, actually. yeah, there is a slight nana tinge. —— banana. and
5:41 am
the secret is all in the marinade. going to use some sapphire grass. where is this from? from sx, from the estuary. seriously? a bit of sx. followed by some spices to bring out that sea flavour. for some water over the top, give it a mix. —— pour. we boil it for 15 minutes, it goes into the marinade overnight, thenit goes into the marinade overnight, then it comes out and goes on there to dry. that is basically it, before we rather it. —— batter. what we've all been waiting for. your vegans fish and chips. do you

5:43 am
continues, then one of its big draws mightjust become continues, then one of its big draws might just become its continues, then one of its big draws mightjust become its vegan offerings. could it be a thing for london, one of its strengths, that we are vegans central?” london, one of its strengths, that we are vegans central? i think so, yeah. i think a lot of people go to london because it is a cool city, there is always something exciting going on, and i think we are that kind of city where veganism is really cool and you can have all the foods that you want. it is super easy, but most of all it is tasty. via travel show, your essential guide, wherever you are heading. next, we had to new york, and one man's love affair with the underground art most commuters don't even realise is there. artist and printer philip copler began
5:44 am
sketching the intricate mosaics, plaques and artwork on the city's subway system back in 1978. a0—year ‘s and 110 stations later, he is still going strong. when i began my study a voice inside my head said why don't you see how conscious people are of the subway? i would ask them if they were aware of the art in the subway. half of them said what art? they had no idea at all. i have some pens here. red, green and blue. here we go. my my study of the subway really began yea rs my study of the subway really began years ago when i was eight years ago
5:45 am
and my father told me that down in the subway stations in europe there we re the subway stations in europe there were pictures on the walls. i thought that was curious. but what got me going deeper, besides the fa ct got me going deeper, besides the fact that i realised some stations we re fact that i realised some stations were losing their decor so they had to be recorded and realising this i got concerned and thought, well, somebody had to preserve a record of what we have now. it became a cause for me to record the embellishments of the station. so it turned into a long project, years in the making and not done yet. at that time there was a great movement called the city beautiful movement when the mayor and his council decided that they wa nted
5:46 am
and his council decided that they wanted to establish new york as an attractive city as the old european capitals are which americans and new yorkers look up to and the mayor decided we can do that right here in new york as well. a good example of the very high design elements in the subway station a borough hall and brookland,. it is one of the dozens of designs created just for this station along and. but it is worth it. -- this station along and. but it is worth it. —— this station alone. i have to do my project at night and weekends. you will often find me at the library or on the subway drawing pictures of what is on the wall and taking notes on how many mosaics that, what colour they are, a general description of the station.

5:56 am
temperatures are going to exceed 30 degrees across the south. we had temperatures up to 31 on friday. we'll easily make that on saturday. having said that, there will be a little bit more cloud around during the course of the weekend. in fact, some areas may even be a little bit of overcast, at least from time to time. now, the atlantic weather systems away towards the north of us, they're still closer to iceland than they are to the uk. so that's why we're in this predominantly dry weather. there's no changes absolutely as far as the eye can see, at least through the weekend, into most of next week, in fact, the whole of next week. bad news for the gardens and parks. a lot of scorched grass about at the moment. anyway, these are the temperatures first thing in the morning. 17 in london. 13 in newcastle. and then those temperatures are going to do one thing in the morning, theyjust shoot up and up and up very rapidly.
5:57 am
so lots of sun around, but it will be cloudy from time to time, particularly around some north—western areas, may be eastern areas picking up a bit of cloud. cloud's also developing across the midlands. 30 at least in london. i suspect temperatures could get up to around 31 or so. northern parts of the country will be closer to the mid—teens. high pressure's with us pretty much all through the weekend, however, there is this one little cool front that nudges into scotland, and that means basically a little bit more cloud here for the north—west of scotland, the western isles in general, and maybe some spots of rain and these atlantic fresher winds win. so across the north—west here, it is going to be quite a bit cooler on sunday. temperatures perhaps only in the teens. whereas to the south of that, it's just going to be hot. very hot in fact. temperatures across the south could peak at around 32 celsius on sunday, hitting 90 fahrenheit. newcastle will be at a very pleasant 2a celsius. now, i already mentioned, not much change on the way next week. in fact, staying dry.
5:58 am
but it won't be quite as hot. looks as though the heat is going to be pushed back into europe, and we'll see slightly cooler air riding around this high pressure because the winds around the high pressure blow in a clockwise fashion like so. so any air here will be basically be pushed back into the uk. so that means that we'll see more and more northern parts of the country into the slightly fresher air. still most into the 20s. we're not talking about it necessarily cooling off a great deal. in fact, on monday, it's still in the high 20s across the south. it's only when we get to around tuesday or wednesday, maybe back down to the mid—twenties. and in the north you can see here, closer to the teens. that's it from me, bye—bye. good morning. welcome to breakfast, with rogerjohnson and naga munchetty. 0ur headlines today: at stake, a place in the world cup semi—finals for england for the first time since 1990. we are one of the youngest teams in
