three, town and city temperatures. three, four, 5 degrees. in the countryside, some spots will get a freezing. some spots might even get below. touch of frost for some of us tomorrow morning. mist patches as well but then a nice looking day, some good spells of sunshine and the odd affecting north—western areas with a showers not as heavy or plentiful as they have been today. and the temperatures nudging upwards touch. 14-16. temperatures nudging upwards touch. 14—16. now, high pressure stays with most of us as we get on into tuesday but you can see these frontal systems trying to make a return at the north—west. so, that is something of a split in our fortunes during tuesday. many of us starting off on during tuesday. many of us starting offona during tuesday. many of us starting off on a chilly note and then across much of england and wales and also used in scotland, we will hold onto for northern ireland and western scotla nd for northern ireland and western scotland it will cloud over. outbreaks of rain and winds will pick up during tuesday afternoon as well. with these winds coming from the south—west does temperatures just continued to climb. just a little bit. 14—17. a split in our fortu nes little bit. 14—17. a split in our fortunes continued during tuesday night. northern areas will be mild because they will keep more of a

breeze and cloud. for the south will be another chilly nights are chilly start wednesday in the south but actually over the middle part of the week things and southern areas will warm up week things and southern areas will warm up a week things and southern areas will warm up a little bit whereas further north and west extra cloud, rain at times and lost a little bit cooler. hello, this is bbc news. the headlines. labour leadership say they would be ready to back another eu referendum — if party members want one. sky shareholders are urged to accept us media giant comcast‘s takeover offer of more than £30 billion for the tv broadcaster. and an increase in fraud. a bbc investigation reveals almost 50,000 older people were victims of scams in the last year. now on bbc news, it's time for the travel show.

hello and welcome to the travel show with me, christa larwood, coming to you this week from the sunny thames riverside. this is the perfect place to watch the world go by. also a great place to catch up on some of our recent adventures here on the travel show. here's a taste of what's coming up. blows whistle. i'm actually scared!

it's incredible. let's kick off with just some of those trips. in a moment we will see mike in bulgaria, getting an exclusive look inside one of the most famous abandoned buildings in the world. and then we will head tojohannesburg with lucy to explore a once neglected and crime—ridden skyscraper that has been reborn to become a symbol of success in south africa. first up though, we will start here in london where tourists are discovering more and more vegan options on their menus. we sent ade out for a taste test. 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 sights. a fellow passenger onboard today is dominika, from the vegan society. how has veganism managed to attract the next generation, what is it that has changed, because it has been around for a while, hasn't it? yes, veganism has been around for about 70 years, which not many people are aware of. but i think we live in the digital age of information, where you log into your social media accounts and you are bound to see something about veganism at some point. i think a lot people are starting to understand that animals are not here for us, they are here with us on this planet that we share with them. as you can see we can have all the things that meat eaters have, which is cake and some sandwiches, you can basically veganise anything you want. all i heard then was cake.

i heard nothing else. it's cake, and that sounds good to me. vegans do cake, i am sold. so normally to make a cake you have milk, eggs, what will you do to replace that for a cake like this in veganism? vegan cake is all the normal ingredients you would expect a cake to contain, but for example instead of dairy milk, you may want to use almond or soy milk, and you might be surprised to hear that replacing eggs is as simple as mashing up a banana, because eggs are used as a binding product rather than for flavour. so the banana has a similar consistency to egg. this is good. this is good! a tour bus around london, eating food 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. 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 architect dora ivanova. she's an expert on the site. i'm excited. it has been a long time i have wanted to come here. wow, it is massive, isn't it? at 70 metres high and 60 metres wide, buzludzha looks out across the balkan mountains. completed in 1981, it was built as an iconic national monument to glorify the communist 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 of buzludzha. 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, and you can read in cyrillic around it, "workers from the world unite." towering over the skyline is the continent's largest residential skyscraper, ponte city. at more than 500 feet tall with an iconic circular design, ponte offers stunning views over jo'burg. now tourists can visit a converted apartment on the 52nd floor. all right, good morning, everyone. welcome, welcome, welcome. my name is frank. welcome to dlala nje. for those who don't know, dlala nje is a word that means "just play." before i get into the history of the building, what do you guys know about the building? what are some of the stories you guys heard of the building? quite a lot of poverty,

but fantastic views. also, through dlala nje, we heard there is a very cool tour to see the whole ofjohannesburg and understand a bit more. ok, cool. so what we do is pretty much provide context, and this building that we use, the reason we start here, this building played a huge part in the history ofjo'burg. dlala nje, the social enterprise that operates the tours, is run by a former resident. i spent three and a half years of my life in ponte city. i moved here in 2012 after doing a story on, what is this infamous landmark on the johannesburg skyline? ponte opened its doors in 1975. it was built for the top 1% of society. there were saunas, wine cellars. this actually was the first floor of a 3—storey apartment. berea, the specific suburb where this building finds itself, has always been very cosmopolitan. during apartheid the government

didn't want black people to partake in certain sectors of the economy and imported a lot of skills. so what you had was a lot of german engineers mixing with portuguese artisans, anybody like immigrants, expats, coming here and just making a life for themselves. very, very diverse. what it resulted in was a lot of racial mixing as well. the foreign residents brought with them more liberal values and less regard for the apartheid laws. according to nickolaus, the government reacted by cutting off services to the building. as many white residents left for the suburbs, ponte‘s fortunes declined. no running water, no electricity. this is when you hear the really crazy stories that we were brought up on injohannesburg in the 80s and 90s, about this building being the place where angels fear to tread, you know? because quite literally, it was just a horrible place. no—go territory? exactly.

my parents moved in here before i was born. what year was that? my parents moved here in '94. '94 until '98. staying here was dangerous, whether you were staying in the building or if you were visiting. people would rob people in corridors, the lifts were not working. they were staying on the 23rd floor. it wasn't until the late 2000s that the building was cleared and renovated. how would you say things have improved now? truth be told, so when my friend told me that the building is nice and stuff, i would be like, nah, i'm not coming, not coming. the day i came and i visited him and i saw his apartment, i was like, damn, i want to come back here. now it is home to a diverse range of people, including migrants from all over africa. and dlala nje operate a community centre on the ground floor. lucy in johannesburg last month on the travel show. up next we are off tojordan

for the centenary of the culmination of the great arab revolt, when much of the middle east rose up against the ottoman empire. it was also the inspiration to the 1960s film lawrence of arabia. we sent rajan back injuly to see how the country is marking the anniversary. this is a reconstruction of one of the original trains on the hejaz railway, and it used to carry pilgrims and supplies to the ottoman troops. i'm going to take a trip now through the stunning landscape. it's baking hot out there. i hope it's cooler inside. check this out.

every little boy's dream. blows whistle. this is a glorious feeling. huge, vast arid desert around me, big granite mountains on either side. just how you imagined it. whoa. oh my god! horses! go low.

whoa! that is loud. and we cannot move. we have been well and truly hijacked. i tell you what, for a reenactment, it's pretty realistic. i'm actually scared. even though i know they're blanks. yeah, i'm coming. what the hell? hey! yep, hands are up. ok, i'm good, ok. i get it, i get it. yep, yep, ok. you can'tjust leave me here! i'm being abducted! dramatic music.

rajan in jordan there, trying to create a bit history on the travel show. up next we are off tojapan, taking a walk on the wild side and lower our blood pressure in the process. and ade meets some youtube sensations in cairo. one of the best parts about working on this programme is getting to do the strangest things in some of the most unexpected places. here are some stories that rather perfectly illustrate that point. in a moment, carmen goes back to nature in the middle of tokyo. and then mike heads to a cafe in manila where the menu is driven by your mood. but first, back in june, we sent ade to cairo to meet the young rappers who have become a youtube sensation.

music plays. mahraganat means festive. it means festival. it is very much a street music. it evolved from a previous genre called chaabi that means "of the people" or "popular". and it's very, very unique to egypt, specifically cairo. and it's loud and brash. and it has its roots that are quite similar to the way hip hop evolved in new york. mahraganat has launched the careers of a new generation of egyptian music stars. i'm about to meet a band who have had a hit that has — get this — 125 million youtube views. music plays. this is a 3—piece band from alexandria. hassan writes and composes the songs.

his friend and collaborator ahmed is one of the managers. and ahmed's cousin ferris is the singer. despite these defined roles, they still have some creative differences. what about your biggest hit single, what was it called? and what about abroad, are you going to play in other countries, will you come to the uk and play in some festivals?

music plays. to try and tap into my inner calm, i'm hitting the road and heading to okutama, a couple of hours‘ drive from the centre of tokyo, to indulge in a spot of forest bathing, or what the japanese call shinrinyoku. forest bathing tours like this are becoming hugely popular with stressed—out japanese office workers. the forest therapy society has certified 62 forest therapy sites across japan. it's beautiful. yeah, beautiful. masuzawa—san's tour includes meditation and deep breathing exercises. so, ok, let's practice breathing methods. inhale from nose and exhale mouth.

calming music plays. so, this isjust like hiking, isn't it? no! it's not hiking. it's completely different. so, uh, forest bathing is to feel nature. if you walk fast, you can't feel anything from nature. so, observing everything in the forests, plants, and listening to the sounds of the brook and birds and the smelling. so go slow and take it all in? yeah. the forest bathing movement is gathering momentum around the world as a hot new wellness trend. clinical studies show it can reduce blood pressure, stress levels, as well as diabetes.

shinrinyoku is effective in preventive medicine. it's very effective for anti—ageing. anti—ageing? sure. oh, really? so, what do you think? how old am i? how old are you? oh, dear. um... this is tricky — i don't want to offend. 40, 45? no. no, i'm 62. what?! you're 62? yes. wow! ok, so i should go home, throw away all my creams, and just come back here. yeah. before you even think of picking up a menu here,

you're encouraged to get involved. hi, welcome. hi. i am dining alone tonight, yes. 0k. first, i have to give you a map for you to look around the place. step one, take off your footwear. step two, you are the server. i am the life server. i will be serving you tonight. step three, pick a hat and wear it. it is like a performance in which you play a part. choose a hat, make yourself a tea to match your mood, and write a message on the wall. i am writing my deepest, darkest secrets on the wall for everyone to see. privacy, please. come on, guys. van gogh is bipolar is the brainchild of this man. jetro rafael is himself bipolar. it's a condition that used to be known as manic depression and can make your mood swing from one extreme to the other.

jetro says this place is his therapy. mike, welcome to my kitchen. i call it the cuckoo kitchen. why? because i am crazy. it is what i have learned and what i am still learning in life. you have to somehow embrace your being, your authentic being. and with no shame. it has to be with grace, and unconditional love. for main course, this will make you calm. and this is the main, the chicken, and fresh lamb from the farm ofjetro. here is your rice, black mountain rice, one of the healthiest rices in the philippines. all topped off with an alcoholic eggshell. no pressure, here we go! 0h!

ok, young man. how are you? good. how was your experience? it was delicious. you've come a long way. this restaurant, for you, has done what, what have you achieved? life is more simple now, that is a big change. now i see me, hear me, ifeel me. the space serves as a safe haven for the community, for people who are lowest, who are abandoned, and also we give them that sacred space that they needed, where they feel accepted, celebrated, and unconditionally loved. well, that's it for this week. i do hope you have enjoyed our look back at our recent

travels on the show. join us next week if you can, when... i'll be finding out how one of london's most iconic but humble tourist attractions could soon be disappearing. if you say london, it's the telephone box. the first thing that comes into my mind, whenever i hear something about britain, is either the queen or the red phone booths. so dojoin us then if you can. in the meantime, don't forget you can keep up with us in real—time by signing up to our social media feeds. details are on the screen. but for now, from me, christa larwood, and the rest of the travel show team, it's goodbye. and, good afternoon. last week has

brought no shortage of wind and rain across the uk. let us look at the satellite picture, you can see this pipeline of cloud which delivered heavy downpours and strong winds. now there is a bit of a break in the cloud, allowing high pressure to have its to settle things down to go to the next couple of days. still some rain for the south—east through today and then the week ahead is looking drive for many. the knights will be chilly and still the potential for some wind and rain across northern regions. this is what brought a sunday soak for the south. pushing away to the south—east, some rain clinging essex and kent. gusty winds across the

south—east as well. easy elsewhere with a mixture of sunshine and showers. temperatures are around 12 in aberdeen, 15 in cardiff and plymouth. the evening times are quite dry. overnight, one or two showers in scotland and western fringes. otherwise we will have clear skies overhead. it will get chilly, not just clear skies overhead. it will get chilly, notjust in the north, even in the south, temperatures reaching freezing. in the countryside down to freezing. in the countryside down to freezing or below for some. a touch of frost to start tomorrow morning and perhaps mist patches. then we are looking at a lovely day, lots of sunshine, not as many showers are today. one or two in the northwest. temperatures not impressive but they are starting to nudge up a little bit. during monday night and tuesday, high—pressure holds on towards the south and south—east but in the north—west vcds weather fronts pushing end. but the split

develops during tuesday. a cool start across england and wales in eastern scotland but we hold onto spells of sunshine but for northern ireland in western scotland, outbreaks of rain. the wind will start to strengthen as well. temperatures nudging up by a degree 01’ temperatures nudging up by a degree or two, 1a to 17 degrees. through tuesday night, southern regions will have the coldest of the weather. further north, northern ireland and scotla nd further north, northern ireland and scotland will get more cloud so temperatures will hold up. one of the breeze as well. generally towards the middle of the week, temperatures will start to climb especially in the south. further north and west always cooler with cloud and rain at times. that's all for now. this is bbc news. the headlines. labour's leadership team say they 'would back members‘ on another brexit vote. i am there elected as the leader in order to bring greater democracy to this party.

there will be a clear vote in conference, i don't know what is going to come out of that. asjeremy as jeremy corbyn asjeremy corbyn comes under pressure to back another referendum, the leader of unite, len mccluskey, says any second referendum must not include the option of staying in the eu. could the brexit talks lead to a snap election this autumn? reports that plans are being drawn up. meanwhile the brexit secretary says he won't let the eu dictate negotiations. this is a bump in the road.
