diversity advisor, omarosa manigault newman, after she released a recording she says proves that mr trump didn't approve of her being sacked. the president said everybody had hated her, and he only kept her on because she flattered him. there are still conflicting reports about the situation in the afghan city of ghazni. nato has described a four—day taliban attack on the city as a failed one, but bbc sources on the ground say the fighting is still going on and nearly a hundred soldiers have died in the violence. the turkish lira has kept on plunging in value, the white house has denied new american tariffs on turkish metals have caused the crisis. dam has accused the us of stabbing turkey, a us ally, in the back —— president erdogan —— a nato ally. police investigating a shooting in the moss side area of manchester on sunday morning

are treating it as a case of attempted murder. ten people, including two children, were taken to hospital for treatment, mostly for pellet wounds to their legs. a carnival had been taking place nearby, but had finished some time before the attack took place. police said it was a reckless act that could have had devastating consequences. from moss side, megan paterson reports. thousands of people enjoying manchester's caribbean carnival every year. yesterday was no exception. but after the event finished, a few streets away shots were fired. officers arrived around 2:30am, some we re officers arrived around 2:30am, some were armed. ten people including two children were admitted to hospital immediately. throughout the day, another two people sought medical help for minor injuries. it was all laughing and joking and then all of a sudden you hear pop, pop and around two seconds later you hear p0p: p°p around two seconds later you hear pop, pop and then everybodyjust scattered around, you know? there

we re scattered around, you know? there were just screams and everything, eve ryo ne were just screams and everything, everyone went hysterical. it scared everyone, it was a big crowd so it could have hit anybody, anybody! officers believe this is an isolated incident and that a shotgun was probably used. they said the impact could have been far worse. while the injuries are serious, they're not life—threatening. i think it's more by luck that that's occurred and actually discharging a firearm ina occurred and actually discharging a firearm in a crowded a crowded place like that, we could be investigating here a murder enquiry as opposed to an attempted murder investigation. over the last 30 years, this area has changed dramatically. guns and violence were once commonplace here. this incident has caused anger and frustration for the community leaders that have worked hard to change this neighbourhood's reputation. i love moss side, been here for a long time, i'll continue to spread the good word about this community but situations like this don't help and it's about sending

the message to the people. as the community in moss side comes together to clean up, an attempted murder investigation continues this evening. everyone is keen to find out what happened here and work out who is responsible. meagan patterson, bbc news. now on bbc news, the travel show. this week on the show, skyhigh in sarajevo. jet—powered in london. this technology is not stopping here. we're in the air. and above the english channel, using the power of your phone. like a flying car. we're starting out travels this week in sarajevo,

the capital city of bosnia and herzegovina. it's fascinating and genuinely beautiful, and it feels more turkish, more islamic than much of the rest of the balkans. these shops are filled with jewels and silverware. and with that comes different architecture and a distinct food culture. the small city centre lies in a valley surrounded by hills, so there are wonderful views almost everywhere. but, of course, we don't know sarajevo primarily for its beauty. we know it for the terrible siege which ended with more than 10,000 people losing their lives in the 1990s. for 3.5 years, bosnian serbs rained rockets down on the city.

a quarter of a century later, the scars are still visible. this used to be a holiday inn, and it's where the world's press was stationed during the siege. it became a symbol of the war, and you might remember its distinctive yellow cladding on the outside, which has been kept to this day. the hotel's onlyjust changed hands. it's had extensive renovation work and it's recently reopened under a different name. you would never know that for years, it was subject to frequent shelling and gunfire. normally you might pay extra for a beautiful view of these hills, but for that very same reason, it was one of the most dangerous spots to be in this hotel. artillery fire was being blasted from the top of those hills and actually lit this building on fire above the fifth floor multiple times. i'm given a tour by hajro. during the war, he ran catering for the journalists stationed here. these days, he's the executive director. who'd normally win,

the staff or journalists? and so these were the goals, right? this is a piece of nostalgia right here. yes, yes. priceless. he's got a leg on him. ok, this time you're keeper. 1-1, 1-1. he's got tricks. through the legs! see, that's why canadians don't play. can you tell us what role the hotel played during the war? and the hotel went through some recent renovations and the average person walking in would not see anything that reminded them of the war? hajro's very keen to emphasise how the hotel is looking forward

to the future these days. but it's not the only bosnian icon getting a shiny makeover. this long—abandoned cable car network finally reopened just a few months ago. it had been out of use since the war began. this is one of the old cable cars, built for the olympics in 1984. it was left abandoned and fell into ruin during the siege, but they still have one here on display. ajla here is deeply in love with sarajevo, and she has agreed to take me up into the hills. so you can see all of sarajevo, every little bit? everything, all of its glory and beauty. the renovation of the cable car seems like a big deal for the city.

yes, it is. it's a symbol of the city, lots of people like that from the city centre you could go up the mountain in ten minutes, enjoy the fresh air, beautiful nature, and then, again, you are in the heart of the old town. the hills up here were positions for serbian snipers and for artillery. there's a perfect view of most of sarajevo. only in recent times have the landmines been cleared, but you can still see the odd military bunker. once at the top, there's one more repurposed relic. the bobsled track. built for sarajevo's moment in the sun, the winter olympics in 1984. it's been richly decorated, and the colour and nature up here makes a wonderful ride. action! ready, steady, go. ready, not so steady. i think i might need more practice at this. we did quite a slow version i think.

i want to make sure the brakes work because you pick our speed really fast. that's the whole point, right? it is supposed to be a bobsled shooting down this. yeah, in the war it was a shelter for the serbian army, that they used to shoot the city and everything. so unfortunately it had that sad purpose. but i think we remade things, to repaint it and everything, to make it morejoyful. with interesting activities like this do you think it is a step away from the memories of the war? yes, definitely. i think that people are urging to go forward, not to think any more about war, to have a normal life, to have a decent life, next february we have the winter olympic games for young ones.

i think it's a good way to show over here we are more than what happened 20 years ago. sarajevo feels very lightly touristed these days, particularly given its beauty. that's partly because the bigger budget airlines have yet to appear here. the moment they do, it all may change. but for now, exploring somewhere like stari grad, the old town, is a total delight. as you wander around you can hear people, ting, bending copper into coffee sets. you can smell the cevapi, the local meat dishes. and you wouldn't really expect there was a war here just 25 years ago. there are churches, mosques, synagogues. there's actually so much to see in this beautiful valley with these giant mountains. it's gorgeous. and there's a lot more to see here than just things that remind you of war. so, if you're thinking you might

come to bosnia and herzegovina, here are some things we think you should do. this year's sarajevo film festival is now under way in the capital and is the highlight of bosnia's culture calendar. in just over 20 years it has grown from a modest post—war reconstruction effort to one of the most important film festivals in europe. if you're not interested in the movies themselves, go for the atmosphere. the whole city becomes alive with concerts and parties. it all happens mid—august every year. mostar‘s 16th century stari most bridge is a stunning site to just go and behold, but if you're in for an added thrill, you can go and see the diving championships on september 8th. outside official competition times, tours can have a go themselves, rbut you will have to pay 25 euros to the mostar diving club and be fully trained beforehand. people are injured and even die attempting this 24m jump. it's not something to be taken lightly. aokm south of mostar are the

jaw—dropping kravica falls, you can picnic, swim in the lake, all for less than us $4. around three year rose. there are caves and grottoes to explore. there are canoeing options as well. even in the peak months, the falls never feel overcrowded. still to come on the travel show: jetpower is coming to a place near you. it could be seen as a first step to a new form of human mobility. and how ridesharing isn't just for the roads. look at this. this is tiny. so don't go away. this week i'm exploring sarajevo, the picturesque capital of bosnia herzegovina.

there is one little cultural quirk i am keen to get to grips with while i am here. bosnians love coffee. it's a little bit like turkish coffee, but there is a special trick to drink it. when it's served you might find it all arranged like this. and at first it's honestly a little bit intimidating. wait, hold on, hold on. this looks like a mediaeval chemistry set. i have no idea what to do. ok, so the deal is, you have some sherbet here, which is like ottoman, it comes with almost every food or drink, rose sherbet. like a rosewater. taste it, taste it. a little bit sweet, just to sort of quench the coffee. yeah. put the coffee in like that. now, mike, before you go, right, you have to hit one of these turkish delights, lokum, they‘ re called lokum.

i eat it or i dunk it? no, no, you don't dunk it. it's actually really good. the hot coffee melds the turkish delight in your mouth. that's right, that's right. it's really nice. you can also do it with the sugar. dunk the sugar in, and you canjust dunk a little bit and it starts spreading up and you put the sugar in and the sugar will stay in your mouth. it is that sort of thing. it's the same sort of thing. that's old time. if you do that in a cafe here they will think you have bosnian roots or something. and this all goes in, orjust the bite. all in! a lots of sugar in this region. that's a lost of sugar. bosnian coffee. enjoy. thanks. still chewing. it's crunchy. good though. it's now time for trending travel, our regular pick of the top photos, videos, and stories all happening online this week. if you're in london this summer you can experience the world's longest zip—line.

it's all the way from the uae. wearing a pair of goggles, visitors to zip now are transported to ras al khaimah. it's billed as a world first, so we sent along rajan, who was there three years ago. it's very strange. i'm now in a completely different universe. three, two, one. whoa! and if you want to test it out, it is open until september 9. all right. it is like being on another planet. security lines at the airport can be one of the most frustrating parts of a trip. but things could be getting a lot easier with the new 3—d baggage scanners being trialled at heathrow and new york's jfk. with trials expected to last at least six more months it will be a while before they become commonplace. so for now now you'll just have to keep on waiting. and superhero fans, meet

the real—life iron man, adventurer richard browning whose science fiction made realityjet suit hasjust gone on sale in the uk. with only nine suits available we ask if it is the future of travel. we started this journey, really, for the thrill of the challenge of doing something that was supposed to be impossible. however, it's been so successful and been seen by millions all over the world that we don't now discount the potential that it could be seen as one of the first steps down a road towards a whole new from of human mobility. the first motor car was considered completely impractical and inefficient, and look what's happened with that. this technology is not stopping here. moving on now to online travel videos. here are some great ones racking up the likes this month. last week the travel show took lucy to south africa, where they're celebrating 100 years since the birth of nelson mandela. now we meet two filmmakers, george and roth to find out more about their experiences in the rainbow nation. i don't like to set up shots or try and capture specific things.

i think, with a country like south africa, it's all there in front of you. if you have a camera and the right tools you will capture amazing things. i was just blown away at what i was able to see and the beauty of the countryside and also ijust admired a lot of the people i met there, they were nice and welcoming. if you're planning on travelling to south africa always have your camera ready. it is also full of experiences that you can't quite prepare for. make sure to keep sending us your stories and photos

of the places you live and the places you love. and, who knows, maybe next time you will be trending in travel. in the 1920s and 30s, le touquet, on france's north coast was the glitzy destination of choice for wealthy british socialites. the birth of the jet age and longhaul travel means it has been overlooked ever since. but now innovations in flight sharing could put it back on your radar. we sent cat moh to try it out. just outside of london, not far from heathrow, is blackbushe airport. this isn't quite what i was expecting, but i'm told this is the airport. hi, paul. hi, cat, how are you? good. lovely sunny day. hardly any wind, as you can see the windsock is completely pointing downwards.

it should be a very smooth flight. i'm sharing a flight with paul. he got his private pilot's license 25 years ago. i don't know how you can fit four people. two in the front, two in the back. it's quite simple. oh my goodness. this is tiny. i found paul through a website, wingly, think uber of the skies, sort of. you pick a date, destination, request a seat, and pay. it's one of a number of flight sharing platforms out there flying between general aviation airfields, which are often closer to town so i've chosen a day trip to le touquet in france. we are in the air. like a flying car. my god. what do you love about flying? i love getting out. i love the freedom.

you get to fly to little airports in the middle of nowhere that would not normally get to go to. paul's dayjob is in it. being able to share flights helps to pay for this rather expensive hobby and keep his flying hours up. the cost is a major thing. so we get to fly at a third or a quarter of the costs we normally do because we split that with our passengers. how do you work out how much to charge passengers? there are only certain costs we can include, the hire of the plane, the fuel, landing fees, things like that, not fixed costs, but they get divided by the number of passengers in the plane. because you are not allowed to make any money out of this, are you? no, i'm not a commercial pilot, so i'm not allowed to make any profit. so i pay for this flight the same as you are. my plane seat cost £150, but unlike a commercial flight it's very weather dependent and could have been cancelled at a moment's notice if paulfelt it wasn't safe to fly. flying over the channel now, french radio signals are coming through. welcome to france.

yay! my legs definitely feel a bit wobbly. i tell you what, i'm glad i didn't have breakfast this morning. le touquet was once a busy international hub, but now you need a private plane to fly here, so flight sharing is a great way to visit without blowing the budget. plus the airport is practically in town, so all you need is a bike, once you clear customs, of course. pilot paul to tour guide paul. ready to go? i think so. i have got to remember which side of the road to be on. yes. it's a quiet seaside town on france's northern opal coast. the majority of visitors these days are french with some internationals. but that has not always been the case. le touquet, more and more

they are going there, those endowed with more worldly goods than sense. from the 1920s until the 19505 it was this stomping ground for rich brits and the fashionable flying in. these days, if you want to go to the devil, you can go there for £10. it's a bit more now. i met up with alice, a local tour guide and historian. i recognise this guy. yes. sean connery. he went here in 1962, he signed his contract. it is also believed to le touquet inspired ian fleming to write his first james bond novel here, casino royale. have you noticed a shift in the type of people who come here? i think i have noticed, for the last one or two years, people coming from further these days. before regular people

were coming from paris, great britain as well, belgium. and now we get more and more people coming from further. it is getting more and more attractive. the town is now a mix of old british charm and french leisure, with hints of its bygone days. this 116—year—old chocolate shop is an institution here. confession time, i may have gotten carried away in there. but it smelled so good. but all good things come to an end. we have to be back before sunset because the airfield in britain has no runway lights to land. it looks like we made itjust in time. well, that's all for this week. but coming up next week... rajan in is travelling

through hokkaido, japan's northern island, where he gets hands—on with the striking local food culture, and has the dubious honour of meeting one of its hungriest residents. in the meantime, don't forget you can follow us on social media, the links to those accounts are found on our website. from me, mike corey, and the rest of the travel show team here in sarajevo, it's goodbye. hello. in the outbreak of the given
