turkey has promised to reveal every detail about the killing of the journalist, jamal khashoggi, who died inside the saudi consulate in istanbul. there's been international condemnation after riyadh said mr khashoggi died as a result of a fist—fight. hundreds of central american migrants have used boats to cross the border between what a mother and mexico —— between what amal —— guatemala. one report though says dozens of women and children among the migrants, who are mostly from honduras, will now be allowed into mexico. several million afghans have voted in parliamentary elections, the first to be organised entirely by the government since 2001. polling stations which could not open on saturday plan to do so on sunday. on the fourth day of their tour of australia, prince harry and his wife meghan have attended

the opening of the invictus games. the prince set up the games for injured military personnel in 2014. he praised the dedication of those taking part describing them as ‘a symbol of honour and optimism for a new generation'. 0ur royal correspondentjonny dymond reports from sydney. in sydney's olympic park, the scars of war. the wounded of 18 nations‘ militaries have come together for this year's invictus games. after losing all feeling in his feet on a military exercise, andy white's road to recovery was a long one. invictus gave him a goal to ride for. the invictus games, for me, is about wearing the unionjack on my chest again. and being around like—minded people. we're all here for a reason and we've all got that common goal of getting better and getting on our road to recovery, whether this is the start or the finish of our recovery. the duke and duchess of sussex. in the shadow of sydney opera house

with the eyes of australia on him, the duke of sussex came to open the games that he created. 500 competitors from 18 different nations have come to this, the largest games yet. the duke spoke of a new generation of warriors — an invictus generation. their struggle for too long unrecognised. and he told the competitors here that they are an example to all. when all of you compete over the next week, remember that you do so not just for yourselves, not just for your families, not just for your nations. you are competing with different flags on your chests, but you are competing together for one invictus generation. tonight in sydney, a triumphant celebration of life and perseverance. a week of fierce competition

and even greater inspiration begins. jonny dymond, bbc news, sydney. now on bbc news, the travel show. this week... free entry into london's best buildings. some are little unusual. the vanishing language on the faroe islands. seeing the deep south by car. and the black forest by train. and this scottish porridge wars. it's purists against hipsters in the land of milk and honey. no prizes for guessing where i am this week. london has some of europe's most recognisable

architecture, even when it is covered in scaffolding. each year, many of the capital's most magnificent buildings open their doors to the public for the annual open house. 2018 is their biggest event yet with over 800 venues to explore. i have come to fix rosier to visit one of the most striking. from the top of this tower of technology you get the view of london that has ever been. the bt tower was opened in 1965, and for over a decade it was london's tallest building. standing at more than 600 feet, it was built to carry

telecommunications all across the uk. and in true 1960s fashion, the top doubled as a revolving restau ra nt. when you eat here we give you a certificate of orbit to say you have been above and around the houses two and a half times every hour. it's actual been closed since the ‘80s, so the open house weekend is one of the only times that the likes of you and i are allowed in. access to the tower is in high demand. today's visitors have had to enter an online ballot to get a place. it's not that often you get this high up over london, but the view is incredible, and there are famous landmarks you can see from here.

we have the shard, the london eye, the british museum. it's amazing. it's a shame it isn't available all year round. this year's open houses the biggest we have overdone. we have every london borough participating. we had that last year as well for 25th anniversary and we have that again, is a real achievement. what were the origins of the idea? the first open house was literally a bus tour for 100 people, enthusiasts who wanted to see contemporary architecture. it was so oversubscribed that the following year a number of london boroughs participated and opened their doors. and today in 2018 we expect a quarter of a million people, even despite the weather. what are your top tips for getting the best out of an open house? maybe focus on the outer boroughs. london has some amazing secrets tucked

away on the fringes of the city. you don't always have to go into the centre. the other tip i would give is pick one borough and concentrate on that. there is always magic on your doorstep. all of the venues are listed on the app, and it is not just the big venues you can visit. you can see inside people's private homes as well! it's amazing that this house is sitting in the middle of a suburban street. an amazing feat of imagination. this project sits within a much larger debate about the value of architecture. it seems to me there is a responsibility that each new building, or each new environment that is made, must be better than the preceding one. and if this can encourage people to do that, then i think that is really valuable.

meanwhile, this is also on the list. i'm headed into the bowels of queen mary hospital, to the pathology museum. it is a maze in here. endless corridors. hopefully i'm heading in the right direction. it's one of the very first chances for the public to see inside. it is fascinating, but it's not really for the faint—hearted. the curator here has been captivating visitors with stories about some of the specimens. i think we should start with probably the most iconic specimen in the museum, and this is the famous sword swallower's sword and oesophagus and heart. can you explain

the logistics of this? this is your ultimate health and safety failure. but we can see here is this person's food pipe, and if you can see there is a little bit of plastic going down here. that shows where the sword went in and tore through the oesophagus and then hit the heart. this person's heart was beating at the time. if you can imagine the heart beating, the heart beating against the sword is what pierced the heart. let's move onto this one. it is still all the fun of the fairground. these are tattoos from a man who was, unsurprisingly, a tattooed man in a circus. that is how he made his living. everything apart from the palms of his hand, the soles of his feet and everything from the neck up, the rest of them was completely covered in ink. completely covered, of which these are... his skin is preserved here. it is remarkably well preserved.

you would probably expect to see that kind of tattooed on somebody‘s arm. i think that one is really attractive. they liked flying things. we have butterflies on one side, and flying fish, and the fly as well. this can't be real. this cannot be to scale. that is only what it is. it is not a real hand, but it is a scale of one to one. this is a plaster cast of a hand. we can see just about what is left of the painted label on the cast, and it tells us it is the hand of the man had a condition, acromegaly, meaning that he was eight tall. it is the condition of one of the most famous medical bodies in any museum, michael charles byrne, the irish giant, that is preserved at the college of surgeons. we don't have him, but i feel the need to point out that this gentleman was at least a foot taller.

i suppose with macabre objects like this there is the possibility that an exhibition like this could become almost a sideshow in itself. how do you stop that from happening? people will think what they think. i will not control what people's reactions or ways of thinking are. it is a gift that we have them, and i want to share it with a wider audience. hopefully in a way that is respectful to the people involved. next, we're off to the remote faroe islands, and archipelago of 18 volcanic islands in the atlantic 0cean where locals are doing what they can to preserve their language. they chant. still to come on the travel show...

the deep south by car, and the black forest by train. and the scottish porridge wars. it is purists against hipsters in the land of milk and honey. welcome to the part of the show that tackles your questions for getting the best out of travel. coming up... but first, 0ctober marks the official opening of the qe2 as a floating hotel in to buy. floating hotel in dubai. since she first set sail nearly half a century ago, the qe2 has circled the globe 25 times.

for the past decade she has been languishing at port in dubai after several false starts to refit her. finally the work is done and she is welcoming guests on board once again. next, christine evans has a lovely idea to celebrate her son's 50th birthday. she says he has never been to italy, and she wonders... a number ofairlines sell gift vouchers, but i am not in favour of them because they restrict the flights you can take. similarly, hotel chains sell gift cards, but again you are restricting choice. instead i suggest you find a friendly travel agent, ask them to write a letter to your son saying you have a weekend in the italian city of your choice. you can set a budget

if you want, maybe £500, and once he has chosen the dates and the flights, the travel agent can then work out the best place to stay. peter freeman is often new orleans and is keen to add on a few days of driving through the state of louisiana and mississippi. louisiana and mississippi are big states. together they are larger than the uk. so pick a few highlights. head west from new orleans along the river road winds beside the mississippi. going to the bayou, a native american word meaning tranquil waters. take a boat trip, keeping a close eye out for alligators. visit the quintessential greek revival plantation house, then continue upstream. the mississippi forms the state border between louisiana and the state of mississippi, where the highlight is the town founded in

1790 by the spanish. it claims to be the home of the friendliest folks you will ever meet, and it also tells the story of the deep south from the perspective of slaves and native americans. in october robert is heading for lake constance, surrounded by austria, germany and switzerland. what's the best way to get there from london, where should we stay? you could fly into germany or zurich, but i recommend the real trip, it is far more rewarding. -- rail. go via paris are strasberg to the german town of hoffenberg which is where the beautiful line through the black forest to the lake begins. i suggest you stay in the town in germany just beside the austrian border.

even in october you should be able to dine alfresco on the elegant main boulevard. if you want to get your travel plans in order, i'm here to help. get in touch and i will do my best to find you an answer. goodbye for now, see you next time. we finished this week in scotland, and with the very best porridge the world has to offer. the 0scars of the old world, the golden spurtles has just been handed out. first prize was won by a pair of swedish men. that's not the local since 2014. is the country losing its taste for its own national breakfast? we sent raj to edinburgh to find out.

people come to edinburgh largely for the history, the drama of the castle, or the grandeur of holyroodhouse. but we've come here for the food. haggis, porridge, deep—fried mars bar. all absolutely delicious in their own right, of course, but in recent years it is how you eat your porridge that has taken on an importance all of its own. purists will always tell you that the only properly scottish way to eat porridge was with a little salt and water. the trouble is, isjust not that nice, is it? and these days if you ask most scots they will tell you they like to jazz it up a little bit. what do you have an? food and milk. i quite like dark sugar. i like it with treacle and milk. ido! honestly! you make an island 's... but it has to be the traditional

porridge, none of this english rubbish. how do you have your porridge? with salt. i'm scottish, you see. in the age of social media, all that great group just doesn't look pretty enough on instagram. but there is one place in the student area of march but that is looking to restore the reputation for total porridge supremacy. can i try peach melba please? the problem! elaine opened at‘s first porridge cafe a few years ago. traditionalists would be appalled by this very 21st—century twist on their national dish. isn't this sacrilege? porridge should be salt, water, oats? absolutely not. this is preserving porridge for the next generation. i think there is a bit of a porridge movement. there is a porridge cafe in new york, in copenhagen, in london. i think we are the first one

in scotland, i think if not certainly edinburgh. please! for the hard—core fan, there are plenty of opportunities to sample the very best, which led the tourist board to create this book porridge tours, ticking you all over the country. luckily, one of the key stops is only an hour's train ride outside edinburgh. auchtermuchty milik like a small, unassuming little is the' scottish town, but what it has is the king of porridge. neil robertson, the only man to hold to golden spurtles awards runs this

traditional tearoom, and it is where you come if you're after real salt and water porridge with absolutely no adornment. this is the puritan's porridge, and actually, you have to order ahead for this because it takes six hours for the oats to soak before they are ready. let's give it a go. yes, it is kind of what you expect. it is edible, it's quite bland. the texture is definitely quite natty full stop. i can certainly eat a whole bowl, and it is supposed to be very good for you. however, i've also ordered some of neal's slightly sweeter porridge, made of roasted spices, creme fraiche and blueberry compost. this won him his second award back in 2010. i thought would be a fun day out cooking porridge in a hall, i was amazed it was international competition.

i won the title back from america. i thought i should commemorate the event by having it tattooed. look at this! in scotland the traditional porridge is the one that everyone swears by anna goes back a long time. but it is dying out is that right? yes, people seem to be in such a hurry that they don't fit it into their day. they grab and go, so the instant porridge is a quick porridge, which is a bit of a shame, but i can understand that. ready to taste it? icertainly am. have yourself to a spoonful of it — will be hot. they go well together, really well. you might call me a bit of a softy, but i've got to be honest, this is far, far nicer. i could have this regularly. i think i will! sadly that's all we have time for on this week's show.

coming up next week... carmen will travel around taiwan. she will sample the acoustics of a brand—new concert hall. learning how to pick tea, and making a wish while releasing a skyline during a traditional festival. dojoin us then, and in the meantime you can keep up with us in real time if you sign up to our social media feeds. but from me and the rest of the travel show team, goodbye. hello.

for much of england and wales, saturday was a day of blue skies and sunshine. barely a cloud in the sky here in north yorkshire on saturday afternoon. as ever, there were some differences. western parts of scotland saw some mist, hill fog, patchy light rain and drizzle, and here's yet another contrast. with the help of the fern effect and some sunshine, aberdeenshire and moray saw temperatures around 20 celsius. now, through sunday, we've got a cold front slipping its way south and eastwards, some persistent rain across northern and western scotland, northern ireland through the morning. as it moves into northern england, the midlands and wales, the rain tends to fizzle out. so we're just left with really a band of cloud and the odd spot of rain. some sunshine following on behind.a few showers for the far north of scotland, where it

will be increasingly windy. ahead of our band of cloud, light winds, still some sunshine across southern and south—eastern england. and so here, we'll see temperatures up to 18 or 19 celsius, one last day of autumn warmth, and quite widely, 1a to 17 celsius on sunday. now, through sunday evening, here's our band of cloud continuing to weaken as itjourneys south and eastwards, we'll see some clearer skies developing as we go into monday morning. more of a breeze, some drier air, so mist and fog shouldn't be too much of a problem first thing on monday morning. and we'll all notice a dip in the temperature, particularly across northern ireland, northern england and scotland where temperatures will be getting closer to freezing. so, as we start the new working week, we've got this area of high pressure building, but notice this squeeze in the isobars. that's going to continue to bring some very strong winds to northern and western scotland, gusts of 50 to 60 miles an hour through the early hours of monday morning. further outbreaks of rain. but away from here, further south across scotland into northern ireland, much of england and wales, we're going to start the new week with plenty of sunshine. a cooler feel, though. we've got a brisker northerly wind.

so, compared to the highs of 19 or 20 celsius, it's going to be more like 12 to 1a celsius on monday afternoon. it's a similar sort of day on tuesday. we've still got this area of high pressure, it's a really dominant feature through much of next week. still some windy conditions to the far north of scotland and some outbreaks of rain, and it looks like some of that rain could just filter a little bit further southwards down towards the central belt, maybe towards the borders on thursday. more cloud around for northern ireland and the far north of england. but elsewhere, further south across england and wales, once again, there'll be a good deal of sunshine, but a brisker north or north—westerly wind with temperatures again just 12 to 1a celsius. so, to sum up the week ahead, away from the far north of scotland, it's looking mainly dry, there'll be some sunshine, but it is likely to turn colder by next weekend. bye— bye. welcome to bbc news, broadcasting to viewers in north america and around the globe. my name is duncan golestani. our top stories: international condemnation after saudi arabia admits the missing journalist jamal khashoggi was killed in its consulate in turkey.
