during a career which lasted more than 70 years he sold more than 100 million records around the world. lucy williamson reports. # you never know... he complained about his appearance, his personality and even his voice, but none of it stopped charles aznavourfrom being one of france's best—known stars. before aznavour, a fellow french artist said despair was unpopular. i'm dealing with sadness, and with melancholy, and with everyday‘s little trouble. with the problems of the ageing man with the young girl, or the lost love. # i'm still single but happy. charles aznavour was born in france to armenian parents. hejoined edith piaf

before world war two before his career took off. he knew that girls looked differently at him when he was on stage. # she may be the reason i survive... his 1973 recording of ‘she‘ topped the uk's single chart for several weeks. 45 years later, he was still performing, and last year he travelled to hollywood to unveil his star on the walk of fame. # la boheme... nowhere was he cherished as he was here in france. aznavour spanned a century of french life, and his song la boheme described how music had changed montmarte. how do people remember him? translation: he manages to translate the everyday life of ordinary people, their joys and their sorrows. like the great poets of france, his songs will never grow old. one of the many who marked his death on social media

was the french president, emmanuel macron. "charles aznavour‘s unique brilliance," he said, "will stay with long after he is gone." # la boheme... now on bbc news, the travel show. coming up on this week's programme, london's vanishing landmarks. it's something you have to see, because there are not that many any more. being teased in turkey. roaming without the bills. looking good! and cat learns the secrets of horse whispering. hello, and welcome to

the travel show, coming to you this week from the heart of central london. this place is known around the world for its red buses, red postboxes and these guys, the humble london red phone box. but time could soon be up for these iconic though now fairly little—used landmarks of street life in the capital. the red phone box is synonymous with london. when they were first introduced in the 1920s, they gave many poorer londoners access to a telephone for the very first time, and after countless appearances in films, tv shows and movie studios, they became something of an icon both here and around the world.

you come to london, you see the red telephone box. the first thing that comes into my mind when i think of britain, the queen or the red phone booth. although as more people got access to their own phone at home, the numbers of actual calls being made from them dropped. but it was the arrival of the mobile phone that really sounded the death knell for these pieces of london history. now, i can remember when i first came here 20 years ago, using a phone box was a really big event, it was like, "i have arrived in london." i probably took several dozen selfies in one of these things. these days it is just clear it isn't being used much. and frankly it isn't the nicest place to be. the smell is not ideal, either. i might get out of here. even though a lot of these phone

boxes are not in the best of shape now, there is a group of londoners who still take pride in them, and the postcard image they portray. i thinkjust because phone boxes are british icons, for them to look scruffy in the photos that are going back around the world with tourists after their holidays, i didn't like that idea. so i thought, why not clean them up? it's only polite. seeing one in a completely sorry state was almost like seeing an elderly relative in distress or something. we like to help her, we think it is a worthy cause and we are loyal friends. it looks nice when they are all scrubbed up. emily and her band of volunteers regularly spend their spare time sprucing up phone boxes like these for sightseers. but it looks like even their valiant efforts might not be enough to save them. they are difficult to keep clean

and they're not very easy for people with disabilities to use, and we are obliged to have a quite high percentage of payphones which can be used by people with disabilities. over the next couple of years, a new high—tech wi—fi enabled street phone is being unveiled across the streets of london. so how do they compare? well, this does not look like a phone booth. there is no booth! it looks like a smartphone, actually. all right, how does this work? just pop in my number. there is no receiver. hello? hello, it is me. i'm at a fancy new phone booth. can you hear me? yes, i can hear you. excellent. all right, see you later. well, it's not very private,

but it is free, so that's good. so the question is, what's going to happen to the old red phone boxes we've all come to know and love? some have been put up for sale, and some are being offered to local communities to turn into things like public libraries. others are already being rented out to businesses who see the beauty in keeping things small, like fouad, who now repairs phones inside a phone box. screen replacement, yes? closed, locked, secure. i am not claustrophobic at all. you work in the place, you are a comic too. —— and iconic place, you are iconic too.

other businesses that have cropped up include cafes, coffee bars, and souvenir shops, all crammed inside a square metre of floor space. you think of all the conversations these four walls must have overheard, and declarations of love, cries of emergency or whispers of espionage. these walls have heard it all, every type of conversation. and i think it is sad to see they are now empty. as yet, there is no set date for when the last of the red phone boxes will be removed from the streets of london, but i for one really hope they remain part of the cityscape, even if it is just for the tourists to take selfies with. and if you're thinking of heading to london while we still have our red phone boxes, here are some travel show tips of things to see and do while you are here. the end of october marks the uk's museums at night week. they are weird and fascinating institutions, throwing open their doors late right across the country. if you are staying in the capital, though, you might want to check out the atmospheric sirjohn soane's museum, or an ‘80s—themed night

at the london transport museum. november 5 is bonfire night, marking the date when catholic conspirator guy fawkes was arrested for trying to blow up the houses of parliament. there are busy, fun fireworks displays everywhere. for some of the biggest, head to alexandra palace, where there is a beer festival, djs and skating rink. 0r head south of the river to blackheath, which is free of charge. if you're after something a bit more peaceful you will be able to see the autumn leaves at their best from the treat of walkways at kew gardens, and while you are there, kew‘s temperate house has just reopened after five years of renovation work. it's the world's largest victorian glasshouse and contains globally important collections of some of the world's rarest plants. finally, london begins to prepare itself for the frantic christmas period, with the opening of its ice rinks halfway through november.

it is probably best to go early, before the world's shoppers descend on the city in december. they are busy and can be expensive, but an hour spent skating in the splendour of the natural history museum or somerset house is plenty of fun. next this week, we're off to turkey for a little taste of ice cream. but it's not the flavours we have gone there for. 0rdering one in some parts of the country has become something of a test of your sense of humour. we went to istanbul to check it out. it is very fun, even when you know what is going to happen, you fall for it every time. it is really good, it is really fresh and the taste is really good. stay with us.

coming up on the travel show, lucy is back with the best tech for your travels. this time it's pain—free roaming. how to stay connected without paying the price. and cat is putting her horse whispering skills to the test, with the native marwari horses rarely seen outside india. this week we are talking about mobile wi—fi hotspots, and today i'll be putting three of them through their paces, except i'm not abroad right now. so i'll be switching my phone to aeroplane mode, using only the data from each device to essentially replicate what happens when you're away. 0ur challenge is to use three different roaming devices to find out what they've got. first up is the skyroam solis.

the company promises ag and lte coverage in more than 130 countries and uses a virtual sim, so you don't need a physical sim card. it offers unlimited data and the option to connect up to five devices do it. it also doubles up as a power bank as it has a 6000 milliamp battery. so, i am testing out the internet connection with a video call. let's see how it goes. scott, how are you going? i'm all good, thank you. i want to confirm where we are meeting later. regents park. i think i know where that is. i'll see you there. see you. so that was pretty pain—free. we connected almost instantly with no lag. thumbs up. the initial cost isn't cheap. at £135 to the device, and then £8 for 2h hours of roaming, or a flat fee of £79 a month.

next up is the glocalme g3. this offers 4g lte coverage in 100 countries. like the skyroam, it relies on cloud sim technology, as opposed to a local sim card. you can choose an amount to top up, or selected from the data packages. it doubles as a power back with a 5000 milliamp battery. i found that lasts around 15 hours. it doesn't look like your average hotspot. it is quite chunky. in fact, it kind of reminds me of an old gen smartphone. it is certainly bigger than any device i've used. expected it to way down your pocket. the initial upfront cost is £119.99. every device has one gig of free data, then the data packages start from as little as 1.50 euro. you can top all the way up to 100 euros. payment can be done via paypal, so it's pretty hasslefree. i have downloaded a bike sharing app. it seems pretty seamless as if i was connected

to my mobile data. it is now telling me where the closest bike is. let's go and find it. so i've found my bike. it means it's time to put away the glocalme g3 and start using my third device, the tp-link m7450. it relies on a micro sim card rather than a virtual sim like the other two devices. basically you pay in full upfront. that means you can choose from a number of data packages for superfast 4g access. i'm using google maps to go and find scott in the park. so far, so good. it is £149.99 upfront. and then it's up to the user to purchase sim and data deals from network operators at home or locally. hi. how's it going? good. nice to meet you. scott, connecting to mobile wi—fi hotspots is a convenient way to access the internet abroad. but if you don't have one of those devices,

i guess hopping onto a public wi—fi hotspot is the next best option, would you say? yeah, pretty much. it's the only real thing left you have if you do not have a data package on your phone. when you're on a network like that, anyone around you can see what you're doing. connecting to a coffee shop here, and we are both on the same network in the same location, i can see what other people around me are doing. for me, when i travel, i usually use the data on my phone, so it is great for us in europe because we now have european data roaming. but i appreciate for a lot of people, and for me in other countries, it's not an option. so if i have to use a wi—fi network in a pub or a restaurant when i'm travelling, i always use my vpn. for those who don't know what a vpn is, could you briefly explain what that is? it's a virtual private network by its proper name. your install it on your phone or whatever your device is and then usually it is a subscription—based service. they are cheap now. you can get them for pounds a month. it makes a secure connection from your device to whoever you choose as your vpn provider. they are very cheap and easy to install and offer you a lot

of protection for minimal effort. and not as scary as they sound. they're not, they're really not. and finally, we are in gurugram in india, where cat moh gets to grips with the country's first natural horsemanship course, and learns about the native marawi horses that can only be seen in this part of the world. horses have played a vital part in indian culture — from helping labourers in the field, to being part of ceremonial activities, such as weddings. but this is stable is the only place in the country that runs a natural horsemanship course, also known as horse whispering. and i'm here to find out exactly what that is. hi! hi. i'm cat. when you find the sweet spot of the horse...

yes... manjeev and charlotte are a husband and wife team that have a special interest in the marawi breed, characterised by their curved pointy ears. it is rare to see them outside of india because they are banned from export. natural horsemanship is a way where we understand psychology of the horses. 0k. enjoy yourfreedom. wait, what you doing to make herturn? i'm crossing her shoulders in. yeah. so that creates a barrier the horse. right. if i stay behind, i increase her speed. 0h, interesting. but the moment i block her, here — so that's how they understand in the wild. the alpha male works according to these formulas. so you have established yourself as the alpha. yes. they are a herd animal. they need one leader. 0k. either you become leader or they become leader. right.

this horse was rescued from a brick factory two weeks ago. its leg was injured and the owner was struggling to take care of her. manjeev and charlotte have been looking after her using this method. looking good. my turn now. she is questioning the authority. just a little bit more. she turned! 0k. stay in the circle. manjeev says their courses have become popular with companies from delhi sending their employees here for team—building exercises. in the office, you won't see what team member has what kind of potential. but when they come across the horses, horses try and pinch all your nerves. they don't let you clot, because they don't give you time to think about it. you will see out of ten people one will become a natural leader. or one who is just trying to control everybody. so you can see what kind of personality every team member has, which makes it easier on a day—to—day basis

to run your business. 0k, to her back. keep her in view. you don't want the horse to run you over. sorry i was not quite the fearless leader. laughter. most of their foreign visitors come from the uk, switzerland, and dubai — mainly travellers looking to learn more about the special breed, and also about natural horsemanship, staying from two hours to two weeks. so it is lunchtime for the horses. yummy, yummy. lunch is served. dozens of horses live at these stables, located at la pegasus polo centre by the aravalli hills. it is a big operation with lots of people involved. most are polo ponies. it is hoped that these marawi horses will be up to play polo too. their gentle temperament

is suited for beginners. this groom comes from a village injodphur, hundreds of miles away. for him, helping to rehabilitate these horses and training them to play polo is his passion. do you think people's ideas are changing about the sport in india? for decades, it was only feasible to play polo if you belonged to the army. but in recent years it has become more accessible to civilians in india. this polo centre is one of the biggest in the country. tarun sirohi, who runs it,

learnt to play in the army and captained india forfour years, but he wants to promote the sport outside of army circles. so are you trying to equestrian sports more popular? because at the moment everyone is so obsessed with cricket here. absolutely right. it has become a religion here. everyone eats, sleeps, breathes cricket. so what's the strategy for getting more people interested ? the idea is that la pegasus becomes a place where anyone who wants to come and learn the sport can come and do that. we have a variety of memberships from kids to adults. i have 14, 15, 16—year—old kids learning. but on the other side, i also have a lot of 40—year—olds learning, when they're trying to rediscover their lives when a midlife crisis hits. it's never too late. yes, i keep saying when the midlife crisis hits, it is time to either get a new girlfriend or learn polo. the marawi horses manjeev

and charlotte are training aren't quite ready to play. and people still prefer to use thoroughbreds, but they're hoping to find a place of on the field. they also plan to open a groom school to train up more people in the way of natural horsemanship as equestrian sport in india increases in popularity. well that is all we have time for on this week's show. join us next week if you can, when... mike corey travels to kazakhstan, where he'll be finding out how important nature continues to be to the traditionally nomadic people of the world's ninth largest country, as well as for travellers who visit there. all that and a lot more on next week's travel show. in the meantime, you can catch up with us on social media and share your travel stories

with us in the world. until next time, though, from me, christa larwood, and the rest of the team in london, it's goodbye. hello. after a rather chilly start to october, it will feel a bit warmer for many of us in the day ahead. there's an area of milder, warmer air that's been moving into the uk between these two weather fronts. initially two weather fronts. during tuesday between these initially during tuesday between these two weather fronts, you can see the warmer colours moving in. we have because the weather fronts are close by, cloud to begin the day,

stretching into a large part of england and wales with patchy rain and drizzle to begin tuesday with the best of the sunshine from north—east england into scotland. scotla nd north—east england into scotland. scotland will have the lion's share of the sunshine, rattling through the north with a strong wind and, well, where we start with cloud, it should brighten up a little bit but further south through north wales into north—west england and the west midlands there is the chance of patchy rain even at this stage of the day at 4pm. it will be blustery wherever you are, white arrows indicating average wind speeds, although it is stronger in northern england, especially into scotland, the black arrows showing some of the gusts and northern scotland and the northern isles could see some gusts around 60 miles an hour or so and the showers rattle through very quickly on that win. as we go on through tuesday evening, we will turn things a little bit more chilly three eastern spots, under the clear skies. but the cloud moving in the

west with patchy rain and drizzle will serve to keep up temperatures. so an east—west split as wednesday begins. 0n so an east—west split as wednesday begins. on wednesday this next weather system coming in from the atla ntic weather system coming in from the atlantic around the area of high pressure pushing this weather front i’ow one way pressure pushing this weather front row one way will be the source of a fairamount of row one way will be the source of a fair amount of cloud and particularly through parts of northern ireland but mostly into western scotland, some patchy rain. and in north—west golden late in the day the rain will start to turn heavier. so on through the day and a lot of cloud around wherever you are. some bright or sunny spells. the lion's share will be across eastern parts of england. let's have a look at how thursday is shaping up. there could be some fog to begin the day where the wind is light in southern england. it could be slow to clear and dense in places and some rain in northern ireland and scotla nd some rain in northern ireland and scotland turning heavier during the day. moving into northern england later. it looks like it will turn cooler over the weekend, low pressu re" cooler over the weekend, low pressure". some of us but not all could see some heavy rain. we will
