10:30 am
they came back and challenge, that they came back and then we had to worry about a lifetime of consequences of those injuries. in a historian really wounding are not of death, in a way death is a quick thing to deal with, wounding as a lifetime. a lifetime beyond survival. people are improvising beyond the battlefield and when people get home and recognising that people will need a lifetime of care. that is still our biggest challenge. in terms of the treatment available, how extensive was it? if you are an average tommy what were your chances of getting this treatment? your chances are pretty good, you people out there who has a lot of experience wanted to deliver the care they knew how to do to give, and a system that was ready for them. from 1917. we had the very first fatal repair hospital in britain from 1917. they are doing really pioneering work and repairing soft tissue and hard tissue and the surgeons understand that if they don't do this people's lives are going to be ruined, it is not a question of you can go outside,
10:31 am
because your face has been blown to pieces, but also how you breathe, how we can close your rise, the kind of food you going to be able to eat, how he will be able to get married in dental work. they know what the sta kes a re. in dental work. they know what the stakes are. to everybody who has a big hole blown in theirface whether the officer on ordinary tommy is going to get the same level of treatment. and finally when you reflect on this, the commemorations to the cause of the weekend, what is the optimistic message you hope people will take from these terrible toiam people will take from these terrible to i am partly optimistic because i see this issue that we were less good at lamenting that all of these consequences, there is a life beyond survival, that survival in itself is remarkable but securing life beyond survival is the most important thing is quite often it is about chronic pain. i know that every pay attention to the military then there isa attention to the military then there is a lot of things we can solve. there is a lot of things we can do there. that is what gives me hope.
10:32 am
so we know that for each of the wars in the —— we learn from each of war and experience. thank you. we have brisk south—westerly winds. the showers will become widespread today. the best are very dry weather probably for much of northern ireland, england, but otherwise, each area will see a downpour or two during the day. the showers continue overnight across scotland and wet weather for the southern counties of england, and pretty wet in wales. the brisk winds, the rain and the cloud keeping temperatures up, 10 degrees in london, coolerfor the north, temperatures at four degrees in edinburgh, five for aberdeen.
10:33 am
remembrance sunday, similar weather, brisk winds dragging in the showers and because of the winds the showers will affect the southend west, many heavy and sundry, but little pressure moving towards northern ireland, this is a greater risk of showers working in here tomorrow. that is your weather. hello, this is bbc news. the headlines... after his shock resignation, former transport ministerjo johnson insists he's not seeking the removal of theresa may, but takes another swipe at the prospective brexit deal. president trump meets emmanuel macron for talks in paris ahead of events to mark the centenary of the end of the first world war. at least nine people are killed and a quarter of a million forced to flee their homes as wildfires burn out of control across california. now on bbc news, the travel show. coming up on this week's programme...
10:34 am
diving into the northernmost reaches of the british isles. scapa flow has to be up there among the top few wreck diving destinations in the world. archaeologists revive an ancient roman recipe. we follow the travelling moon. and it's the fashion revolution that's taking india by storm. the goal is to have something sartorial and feminine. hello and welcome to the travel show, coming to you this week from england's lake district, which is beautiful all year round, even in november.
10:35 am
it's here that you'll find england's highest mountain, and a series of monuments that were erected at the end of the first world war to honour those who died in that terrible conflict. all over europe and the wider world this weekend, people will be marking the 100th anniversary of the end of the great war, when the guns finally fell silent. 0ne element of the conflict that's often overlooked is the war at sea, but if you travel to the far north of scotland, you can now have a deep dive into one of the most famous chapters of that story. my name's emily turton. i am the skipper of one of the dive boats up in scapa flow. my boat's called huskyan. and what we're really interested in is the first world war german
10:36 am
naval fleet that was scuttled in scapa flow onjune 21,1919. scapa flow itself is a big bit of water surrounded by an island of 0rkney, and it was strategically best for our british naval fleet for both world war i and world war two, world war i and world war ii, and then also big enough to put the german navy when it was interned after the armistice at the end of november, 1918. just before the treaty of versailles was signed, which officially ended world war i, the german fleet was scuttled. it was the last remaining act of war open to the commanding officer there, admiral von reuter, and essentially, what he did is made sure that nobody could have his fleet. ok, let's have a look at what she looks like underwater. now, this is the deepest part of the german fleet here.
10:37 am
using digital imagery to help break down the ships to my divers before they get in the water really helps them have more of a mental image of what they're trying to see before they see it. so this scan image was done by a team at dundee university, headed up by professor chris rowland. i'm professor chris rowland from the university of dundee and i run the 3—d visualisation research lab, particularly interested in historic shipwrecks. i'm involved with a small team who are looking at bringing images of the shipwrecks of the german fleet to the general public, so that people who can't dive or don't get the opportunity to dive on them will actually see what's there, and this huge legacy from world war i isjust under the waves here. myself and professor carey, we dive as a team. i'll carry about 60,000 lumens of light, so that's a lot of light, and carey will carry his camera with extra lighting,
10:38 am
and between the two of us, we basically record high resolution video around the wrecks and the features of the wrecks. when we bring that back to the surface, we can then use software to produce a 3—d image from those images. the german fleet are in quite silty conditions. so when you first get in the water and you're going down this line, you're diving on something that can be 145 metres long, but the mystery of it, you discover in ten metre chunks, 15 metre chunks. that's something that some people find a little bit spooky but i find really exciting. so this ship, sms markgraf‘s one of four konig class battleships built for the first world war german
10:39 am
navy. thsi ship's1a5 metres long, it's 30 metres wide, and if you picked her up and put her on the bathroom scales, her displacement is around about 26,000 tons. they are the vanguard of germany's navy during that war, and to have three of them here is really quite — well, it's unique. the wreck that we were diving today is the site of the bayern turrets. so the bayern battleship, when it was salvaged, the four turrets were left on the seabead, and they're pretty remarkable to see. this was the last military action of world war i, and any time we see the wreck or any of the wrecks, we're reminded exactly what that means in history. my name isjames and i'm a scuba—diving instructor here in orkney. snorkels in and let's go out... it is maybe one of the best sites in the world to come and dive these types of ships and be this
10:40 am
accessible at this depth as well/ accessible at this depth as well. you can come to the scapa flow and visit the churchill barriers, having never dived before, and complete your first ever dive on world war i and world war ii ships that were sunk as part of the war. scapa flow allows us to dive the whole year round more or less. it's a natural harbour, it's protected on many sides by land. you could spend weeks and weeks and weeks diving the wrecks here, they're that big, and you'd still get a reward every single time you jumped in the water. i amjanette park and i'm the curator for stromness museum. some of the items that we have in the collection that have come from the german fleet, we have the bailfrom the dresden and we have the bail from the friedrich der grosse also. some of my favourite things
10:41 am
are the more domestic or the more social history things. we have a china beer mug that has survived, that has the inscription: "music and beer, that is my pleasure", and that's something that we also share with germany. so the diving industry in orkney is booming for us, it's really busy at the moment, it's really popular to come and take a guided dive. to have such history surrounding those shipwrecks, to be able to dive on what was the biggest scuttle ever, is quite something. next up, we're in cadiz in spain, where chefs are bringing back an ancient recipe to modern menus. still to come on the travel show: what's trending in the way of travel? and it's a fusion of cultures
10:42 am
styling visitors in delhi. keep going... like you are stirring a cup of coffee . a cup of coffee. it's time now for trending travel, your monthly mashup of the best travel—related stories, snaps and videos online. as the 50th anniversary of the first moon landing approaches, space tourism seems to be getting closer. but if you can't wait that long, artist lukejerram has brought the moon to earth, touring his giant replica around the globe. i'm touring it into different contexts, so placed it in a cathedral, but also in swimming pools and science museums and a whole range of different contexts. i try to create artworks that can be appreciated by everybody, so a four—year—old child will get very excited about seeing the moon

10:46 am
we should know about, don't forget to get in touch, it's at @bbctravelshow. next up, we are in delhi, where a fashion revolution is afoot. it's a trend that is being driven by social media around the world, and drawing more people into indian culture, as cat moh went to find out. walk around the streets and it's clear — one thing india doesn't lack is colour. hit the right areas, and it's textiles and tailors around every corner. and buying at least one traditional outfit is the ultimate souvenir. the clothing retail market in india is huge, with not always the best reputation when it comes to labour practices. however, more people are taking
10:47 am
things into their own hands with a trend that is revolutionising the indian fashion market and drawing visitors to delhi — and that is fusion wear. it is basically a mash—up of traditional asian and western clothing, and some bloggers like sukhneet are very good at it. there is so much inspiration, you can mix—and—match so many things and the kind of sensibility india has, the kind of textiles and embroidery they have, you can mix it with anything. when you add a bit of western and fusion, it becomes so modern, you give the outfit a personality of its own. we just walked through a very crazy street to get here, there are so many textiles everywhere... oh, this is cute. yeah, it's the bolero jacket. do you find people are coming here to get textiles and then taking them to the tailors to get their own outfits, because sometimes buying ready—made
10:48 am
pieces can be quite expensive, and you don't need to do that. having a local tailor is the coolest thing we have here, because you can get anything customised. if you see something on instagram and you come to me and show me ‘i want to get this made,‘ and i take you to the tailor, he will make an exact copy of it. some of it is bad but some of it is really good. so off to the tailors we go. no trip to delhi is complete without hopping in one of these tuk—tuks. they're everywhere. this is fun. this is fun! how often do you take one of these then? i used to take one a lot when i was in college, not any more... they are quite cheap? it depends if you can bargain well. tucked away in a little corner in new delhi is mehfooz.
10:49 am
indo—western dress. the family business has been tailoring for 50 years with both westerners and indians walking through its doors. by 2020, the indian fusion wear market is expected to be worth $3.4 billion, doubling what it was last year, and indian couture designers have taken it from the streets to the runway. fashion house shantanu & nikhil run tours for visitors interested in a behind—the—scenes experience of its atelier. i think i'm in the right place. this one can be slightly more dramatic... hi! hello! i am cat.
10:50 am
nice to see you, cat, welcome to india, and welcome to shantanu & nikhil. it is fascinating just walking up the stairs just now, seeing everyone hard at work. it is crazy right now, it is so chaotic outside the building, and inside it is creative chaos. which is what we love. i love it. fusion wear is becoming increasingly popular around the world, and this design house is prepping for its first show in london. and you offer these tours as well for people to come behind the scenes, to see what goes on. are you not worried that some of your secrets are going to be spilt out to the rest of the world? we are happy for people to come and see the process, because the process comes from great intent of purity and clarity. and why not? if people feel they can connect to this, and they might want to do something, something new might come out of it. will you help me create something then? of course. i hope you have a lot of patience. i am...the teacher. the goal is to have something
10:51 am
sartorial and feminine. this is the moment of truth. ta—da! 0k. am i holding this correctly? yeah, yeah. keep playing it, like you are stirring a cup of coffee. this is the real thing, isn't it? this is the real thing. probably should have had a practice first. this is your practice sheet, go for it. it is like starting the accelerator of a car. that is... that is a disaster. that is... i'm going to leave the rest of this to the professionals as clearly i cannot be trusted to sew in a straight line. in their workshop, 90%
10:52 am
of the sewers are men, carrying on trade skills passed down the generations. all the requirement of men in our business is only to produce beautiful clothes. the rest, the ideation, the sales, the marketing, all happens by women. with the final touches added, it is the moment of truth. what you think? oh, my good lord. it fits really well! this is fantastic on you! you made this by the way, you know that? well... you draped it. you can't see where i screwed up. well, you can't, but i can. but they probably can't either. it's probably just somewhere underneath. it's fine. cat moh reporting there from delhi. unfortunately that is all we have time for on this week's programme, but coming up next week:
10:53 am
ade's in lebanon as the country marks 75 years of independence. and finds out how the people of beirut are shaking off the scars of civil war, to restore the city's reputation as a centre of entertainment and nightlife. that is good! so dojoin us then if you can, and in the meantime, don't forget you can sign up for our social media feeds, see where we are in the world, and share some of your own travel stories. but now from me, christa larwood, and the rest of the travel show team here in the lake district, it is goodbye. hello. this weekend it is sunny

ireland, a greater chance of some downpours working in here through the day, particularly to affect western counties. it remains mild, temperatures between ten and 14 degrees once again. the blustery winds will ensure the showers move across these guys pretty quickly and there will be sunshine for all of us at some point. showery weather continues until next week. it remains mild, 16 degrees in london possible by thursday, and should be 11 at this time of year. that is your weather. this is bbc news. the headlines at 11: after his shock resignation, former transport ministerjo johnson insists he's not seeking the removal of theresa may — but takes another swipe at the prospective brexit deal. we're not going to get greater sovereignty, we're going to cede sovereignty, we're going to lose control over how rules affecting swathes of our economy are shaped. it's not the british parliament that's going to gain control from this, it's the french, german, and european parliaments. heavenly father, please help us.
