'do they avoid so good. how do they avoid losing money on these? they don't. normally, three months of the summer is when all the tour operators make money and more and for much of the year many sell at a loss so this is worrying. a leading analyst said yesterday we are quite worried and the further england progress, the more the heat wave goes on, the lower the share price of people like thomas cook and tui. how long to people have to check these deals? depending on the score, it might be five o'clock this afternoon, there may be a surge in bookings. that is what the travel industry is very much hoping for. schools break up in a couple of weeks in england for most families. and then the price is u nfortu nately most families. and then the price is unfortunately will go to their normal sky—high levels. unfortunately will go to their normal sky-high levels. leaving aside the deals you have seen, as you look across the piece, what are the prospective areas that are

looking most attractive for anyone who does not want to go on holiday in russia? russia is looking very good indeed. great value to turkey, bulgaria, greece. and of course spain remains very, very popular. just returning this year, first proper summer, tunisia is going to be good value as well. the travel operators have lifted restrictions. yes, people are returning and by all accounts, having a fantastic time. thank you very much. now it is time for a look at the weather. it is shaping up to be yet another sunny saturday in most places. throughout the weekend, the forecast is for mostly dry weather and lots of hot sunshine. there is a bit of cloud lingering in some coastal areas. sea breezes developing also.

clouding over four bits of northern ireland and western scotland. maybe some drizzle later in the day. a small chance of a shower in the south—east. temperatures lifting to 31 degrees. this evening, staying dry with long clear spells. extra cloud into the far north—west. but look at the overnight lows. 13—16d. we go on into sunday. we do bring this band of cloud in. the odd spot of rain but some fresh air behind it. the further south and east, long spells of sunshine and those temperatures again perhaps into the low 30s. hello, this is bbc news.

the headlines: theresa may warns her cabinet any further dissention over brexit won't be tolerated, as ministers agree on a plan for the uk's future relationship with the eu. england play sweden in samara this afternoon for the chance to reach their first world cup semifinal in 28 years. 12 thai boys trapped in a cave write letters to their parents telling them their strong and not to worry. police investigating the poisoning of a couple in wiltshire last weekend warn the operation will take months to complete. now on bbc news, the travel show. this week on the travel show, we're 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 we join the judging panel in search of the world's 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 flock to vegan nights in fashionable shoreditch in the east of the city. i have only been vegan for maybe six months, and even compared to where i started, the amount of vegan abundance of food in supermarkets is crazy. i was eating lots of chicken dips and chicken kievs, i didn't feel that great, 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 i'iow. there are so many cool places to eat, you can getjunk food, you can get healthy food, you can eat anywhere. it's super easy. the vegan market is growing, it's incredible. it's so exciting, what's happening. according to the vegan society, the number of vegans in the uk went up by 350% in 10 years, and that was before the huge trend in the last two years kicked in. it's particularly here in london where 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'm going to take a fresh look at 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 ordinary bus tour.

this is a vegan 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. 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? because it's 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 think 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, like cake, you can basically veganise anything that you want. all i heard was the word cake, nothing else. cake, that sounds good to me. vegans do cake, i'm 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 almond 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's 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 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 chippie 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. saveloy. even here, danny has come up with a vegans answer to the traditional fish and chips. he uses marinated banana blossom. of all the things that i 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 i come up 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 banana tinge. and the secret is all in the marinade. going to use some sapphire grass. where is this from? from essex from the estuary. seriously? a bit of essex. followed by some spices to bring out that sea flavour. pour some water over the top, give it a mix. we boil it for 15 minutes, it goes into the marinade overnight, then it comes out and goes on there to dry. that's basically it, before we batter it.

what we've all been waiting for. your vegan fish and chips. do you know what? if i had not gone through all of the stuff of making it with you and you haven't told me this was vegan, i would think that is proper fish. there you go. smells like it, as well. we have tricked you with your eyes, let's see if we can trick you with your tongue. there we go, get some of this on there. imagine you're by the seaside. imagine you're in southend. that's good. i wasn't expecting that. the texture is definitely there. do you know what?

you don't have to worry about any bones. a no bone guarantee. i can't give you that with the cod or the haddock. cheers. cheers, enjoy. every year, nearly 20 million people come to london. it is one of the world's most visited cities, and no doubt many come to see the big landmarks. but who knows? if this trend 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 vegan central? i think so, yeah. i think a lot of people go to london because it's a cool city, there's 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's super easy, but most of all it's tasty. the travel show, your essential guide, wherever you are heading. next, we had 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 sketching the intricate mosaics, plaques and artwork on the city's subway system back in 1978. a0 year 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 study of the subway really began years ago when i was eight years ago and my father told me that down in the subway stations in europe there were pictures on the walls. i thought that was curious. but what got me going deeper was the 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 wanted to establish new york as noble and attractive a 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 can be found at borough hall and brooklyn — the first subway station and the first subway line into brooklyn. it is one of the dozens of designs created just for this station alone. but it is worth it.

what i do when i do my project, 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 are there, what colour they are, a general description of the station. this station is named forjothacob astor. astor place, his library is nearby, and he was a very shrewd businessman and and made several fortunes in his lifetime. one of them was with the beavers because in the early 1800s a top hat with beaver fur was the height of fashion. i have been self publishing my work ever since i began. this year, however, a lot has changed.

a university has published a book of my drawings. my drawings and my notebooks, the real things, the originals have been on display in grand central terminal. this made us stop and appreciate. 137 street. look at that. we don't do that any more. no, we don't. we don't have time to look at it and we don't have the money to produce it. since i started this study, being the thorough person i am, i intend to finish at which means i really need to visit all the stations in the system.

i have quite a long road in front of me. i have done 110 stations so far and i have many more to go. 360 or more. god knows. because i have started ifeel i have to finish it. to finish, today we are off to naples in the south of italy. this historic city claims to be the birthplace of pizza and for ten days every year, chefs from all over the world head there to take part in a competition to find the world ‘s best slice. and this year, the travel show‘s jo whalley was asked to be one of the judging panel. has she bitten off more than she can chew?

i'm about to do a masterclass with some of the best pizza makers in all of naples. i am a little apprehensive. davide is a world champion pizza maker. to be a true neapolitan pizza, the dough needs to be prepared in a special way. and here at the festival, tourists can give it a go. scoop and press. the first step is shaping the dough into balls. seamless.

the dough was left for at least six hours to leaven and then is pressed out by hand. some pizzaiuolos spin the dough in the air to stretch and oxygenate it. and the festival is a chance for these masters to show off their skills. it is really quite tricky. there is not much of a spin. with our pizza bases sorted, we spiral on tomato sauce and add mozzarella and basil. the margherita pizza is the symbol of naples, invented in 1889 in honour of queen margherita. the colours represent the italian flag. now we are making pizza! finally, we bake it. it is beautiful. that is a good—looking pizza. that is so good. it was worth me taking three hours to make it.

it is emotional. now that i fully appreciate exactly what it takes to make a proper neapolitan margherita pizza, i am told that tomorrow i can join the judging panel of the caputo cup, the pizza world championships. pizza chefs from all over the world have travelled here and are nervously waiting to cook for thejudges. this is the big competition. who has the best margherita pizza. i have my secret voting sheet here. this is my voting form. i have the name of the chef, my name and the different categories of marks that i can give each pizza. 500 is the best, ten is the worst. my fellowjudge mario shows me how to inspect all aspects of the slice to check the crust is bouncy and i can taste

all distinct ingredients. there are nine categories of pizza tojudge and it is a gruelling pace. oh, gosh. i have to eat speed eat because i am being too slow with my marking. some of thejudges have been here tasting for hours. they are only swapped out when they are too full to continue. so i am on slice number seven. mario has had over a0 slices. this is 1a. still going strong. i have been here for just over three hours. there are so many people queued up outside waiting to cook for us. when will it end? so i have had 38 slices of pizza

and i have just seen that they have started to clear off the tables. so the end may be in sight. then we get word that the final pizza is being sliced. number 52. the last one. it is an unusual flavour. kind of mustardy. i kind of like it. go out with a bang. while the votes are being counted, the award for pizza acrobatics is being judged. it is seriously skilful. the award ceremony goes on into the night and there are winners from across the globe.

the organisers here hope to take the napoli pizza village festival to cities like london and new york and spread the message around the world that neapolitan pizza is notjust food, it is a way of life. jo reporting there from naples. and something tells me she will not be ordering takeaway any time soon. that's your lot for this week and coming up next week... christa heads to amsterdam to find out how boats, once crammed with migrants making death—defying voyages across the mediterranean, are now being used to show tourists the city's world—famous canals. it is written that there was more than 76 person on the last trip of this boat. make sure you join us for that if you can and don't forget you can follow us on social media.

all the details are on the screen. but for now, from all of us here in trafalgar square, it is goodbye. hello. it is shaping up to be yet another sunny saturday for most of us. another sunny saturday for most of us. in fact, the weekend as a whole brings plenty more dry weather with lots of hot sunshine. there is a bit of cloud around. some coastal cloud. sea breezes developing coaster the close. —— close to the coast. the

odd spot of drizzle in scotland and northern ireland but for most of us, a semi—story for the rest of the day. from aberdeen down to edinburgh, lots of sunshine. two bridges in glasgow upto 2a degrees. a bit more cloud creeping into northern ireland. further east, hot sunshine. 31 degrees in london. a small chance of shower. big england match this afternoon. we dive under the clouds towards the arena and there are some areas blue sky likely to be overhead. kick off at three o'clock. temperatures around about 26 degrees. what about the forecast for wimbledon through the rest of the day? lots of hot sunshine. top temperature 30 degrees. 0nly cooling off very slowly as we head on into the evening. that is the story for most of us this evening. relate

sunshine. the small chance for a shower across the south—east. the vast majority will be dry. lots of clear skies overhead. a bit more cloud creeping in across western scotla nd cloud creeping in across western scotland and northern ireland. the odd spot of rain. lots of muggy weather. but behind that and of cloud, there is some slightly cooler air trying to move in from the north—west. it is not going to make progress during sunday. this dragging its heels across northern parts of scotland with the odd spot of rain. ahead of it, long spells of sunshine once again and real heat to be had. notice the deep orange colours on the temperature chart. not much will change as we head to next week. it will turn a little cooler for a next week. it will turn a little coolerfor a time but next week. it will turn a little cooler for a time but there will still be lots of dry weather and plenty of strong sunshine. this is bbc news i'm shaun ley.
