but not all of them have survived in the archive. some of david attenborough's lectures from 1973 have gone missing. there are also gaps in ‘66, ‘67, ‘69, ‘70 and ‘71. the royal institution wants to put all of these televised lectures online, and is asking the public if they have copies of the missing programmes hidden in a loft or stored in a garage. they were television's first ever science programme, and they're hoping that some of their technologically inclined viewers might be able to help them complete the full collection. get in touch if you think you have one of those missing lectures. now it's time for a look at the weather with stav. it's going to be a chilly day for most of us. largely dry with the best of the sunshine across the west, but it will remain quite cloudy and wet across southern england. the good news is this evening it should start to turn a bit drier across the southern areas and for all it's going to be chilly with that easterly wind.

the rain begins to peter out across the south, it should turn a bit dry here towards the end of the night, though the channel islands remaining quite wet. elsewhere, variable cloud, a bit of mist and murk. temperatures no lower than around 3—4 degrees but when we get clear skies then we could see a patchy frost with temperatures dipping down to freezing. so for tomorrow it's pretty similar to today. a lot of dry weather around. maybe just a few showers across eastern scotland and eastern england. but a better—looking day across the south of the country. we could even see a little bit of brightness. but there is a chance of some rain across the near continent returning northwards into the south—east of england. it's going to be a chilly day. and it stays chilly into the start of the next week, too, but things gradually turning wetter, windier and milder midweek onwards. hello, this is bbc news. the headlines: theresa may is set to head to brussels for talks today with top eu officials ahead of sunday's crucial summit to formally sign off the brexit deal. spain has said it will not attend unless a last—minute disagreement over gibraltar is resolved. and french police fire

tear gas at fuel price protesters in central paris. the protest have been going on all week against plans by president macron to put up the tax on petrol. a man has been arrested after a police officer was stabbed outside a railway station in east london. the officer was taken to hospital but his injuries are not thought to be life—threatening. the white house has dismissed a government report that warns unchecked climate change will seriously damage the economy and effect human health and quality of life. the warning is at odds with the trump administration's fossilfuels agenda. i'll be back at 11am. now on bbc news, it's the travel show. they had a quieter time in the french capital. they had a quieter time in the french capital. this week on the show:

paris by tin snail. where is the gearstick? the gearstick is there. seeing seoul in a hurry, and the eu after brexit. take your place, get ready...go! this is so tough, my back is about to break. and there is gold in them there hills. we head to slovakia to find our fortune. i missed loads. our travels this week begin in a european capital very familiar to many of us.

a city that has become a market leader in cliches. i am here in the city of love, but also the city of cars. and plenty of them. one, though, in particular, stands out more than any other in the hearts of the french people. the citroen 2cv. and this year, she's turning 70. the 2cv was born in 1948, in the immediate aftermath of world war ii. the very first prototypes aa well as the very last model and all those in between are kept here in the citroen heritage centre in the north of paris. here they are, they've really got character. and this one, you can probably see from the bullet holes, must have been from a bond film.

for your eyes only. with its unique shape, the 2cv — short for "deux chevaux", or "two horses" — quickly came to fame, and not only in movies. within a few decades, the car became a common sight on france's roads. and in its countryside. the founding design principle of this car was four wheels under an umbrella. the idea of a light car with really good suspension, so you could drive over a field with four passengers and a basket of eggs on your lap. and by the end of yourjourney, none of the eggs would be broken. more than five million were produced until the last one in 1990. but fans and owners still gather annually to celebrate a car that has been used by generations of french motorists. i have caught the train out to a suburb on the outskirts of paris.

because i've heard out here there is a place where people... i think i have found it. bonjour! this must be the 2cv club. you must be christian. good to meet you. look at all these beautiful cars. christian presides over a fan club of over 100 members. it is one of dozens across france. they meet every weekend to repair and cherish their babies. so why is this car so popular? why do people love it so much? it is in the french way of life. it is different to all cars. it is the way you drive it. you're not looking for speed, you're not looking for anything fantastic. and then at the club, where we are here today, we'll work on our cars and have fun and go out on a little bit

of a rally or something like that. taking the 2cv on a rally is no easy matter. christian is currently preparing his for the club's rally trip to 0man next year. they plan to drive 3,000 kilometres through the desert. 0man won't be the club's first rally. in years gone by it has organised dozens around the world. how many miles in this car, do you think? wow, 50,000 kilometres?

and what about this? laughs. water, water. 0h, water, i bet. collectors now pay up to 170,000 euros for the rarest, but there are still plenty around. it's thought about 100,000 still drive on french roads. they're also a fine addition to any weekend in the capital. bonjour! vincent, good to meet you. this must be it. vincent takes guided tours around paris. i'm definitely going to need a lesson, vincent. he will even let you drive if you ask nicely. and once you get the hang of it, it's really good fun. where is the gear stick? the gear stick is just there. so you just turn that if you want to press the first one.

this is first. and back to neutral. and push, and second. this is unusual. it is unique. please excuse me if we bunny hop up the street. driving a 2cv feels very different to any kind of modern car. you can feel the engine under your foot and the noise of the car, and it is very physical. it is not a car that goes very fast. but that is not the goal. it's a very active experience. there is no sitting back and letting the car do its work. you have to be involved. exactly. 0n the left, this is le louvre. do you think this is part of french identity?

yes, with the baguette and with the stripes. laughs. you are very brave, because driving a 2cv car is not very easy. driving in paris is not very easy. driving a 2cv for the first time in paris is really brave. there are no airbags, the windows are not electric, and as for ac? let's say that it is pretty rudimentary. but for some reason the french really seem to love the 2cv. as long as that remains the case, the car that they call the "tin snail" will keep ploughing its own furrow on slow lanes everywhere. and if you are thinking of heading here any time soon, here are some are things we think you should watch out for in paris this winter.

like many european cities, paris abounds with christmas markets in december. the biggest is in the la defense business district, where you'll find 300 stalls selling food to decorations, and crafts. keep your eyes on the shop windows, too. some of the big department stores lay on some really stunning displays at this time of year. if you want something a bit different, the museum of fairground arts opens its 12—day annual festival on 26th of december. you will be able to see live shows and have a go on an old—fashioned merry—go—rounds and games. and paris fashion week is in mid—january. but for most of us mortals, the winter sales will be the closest thing we get to being part of it. they kick off on the 10th, and you can get pretty big discounts. you might want to get the sharp elbows out for the best deals, though. competition can be fierce. still to come on the travel show:

0ur global guru is back with his pearls of wisdom. this week, seeing the us by train. and seoul in a hurry. and going for gold deep in the hills of central europe. this week i have been exploring the french capital. this is the 7th arrondissement, familiar to those of us who have been to the eiffel tower. but that is not my destination this time. so there is a place i really want to show you in paris. i have heard a lot about it but have never had a chance to see myself. so i'm going to go check it out. bonjour! this way? this is deyrolle, a taxidermist which for almost 190 years

has specialised in very high—end stuffing. this is insane! how did they even get this up the stairs? it is so odd to be able to see creatures like this so close, and they are beautifully done. it is obviously taxidermy, but the artistry, even on such close inspection, isjust, it is perfect. these animals, all of which you can buy, came mainly from zoos, circuses, and farms, and weren't hunted to order. in fact, the hope is that seeing how beautiful these creatures are up close will inspire people to care more about the natural world. all these animals, of course, are well—kept, to be a testimony to what is the global beauty

of the living animal. this place for the last 200 years is one of the steps towards human amazement, amazing sights for people to realise that observation is the key to preservation. hello from malaga. this week and have advice on how to spend 2a hours in seoul on to the tricky business of taking medicine into dubai. first, though, in florida, the new high—speed rail link running between

miami and west palm beach has increased the frequency to once an hour. the train takes about half an hour. the train takes about half an hour between miami and fort lauderdale and another 45 minutes to reach west palm beach. and the train operator has also launched a ticket which promises curated food and beverage items. next, from canada's largest city, toronto, a family is going to a stopover in the south korean capital, seoul. good question, and to answer it, i thought we should hear from someone who knows seoul really well. hi, simon. there's a time you can see in 2a hours. head to the main palace and a collection of

traditional great homes and easily check out the market, a traditional asian market that has over 100 years of history and serves up some traditional noodle soups and dumplings for lunch. then check out the design plaza, a great modern addition to the architecture here in seoul. and it however you can watch the sunset. i hope you have a great trip. next, gemma from leamington monster book a holiday in the european union after the uk has left on the 29th of march 2019. she says she can't find the answer to her question online. the consumer protection offered by the air travel organisers licence and travel association remains in effect whatever the uk geopolitical statuses. but much more significantly for most travellers from britain, the package travel

regulations enshrined in uk law require companies selling transport and accommodation in a single transaction to deliver the holiday as booked or provide appropriate assistance or recompense. in uncertain times, booking a package holiday to the wise plan. if for whatever reason the chip doesn't go ahead, you should get a full refund. 0ur ahead, you should get a full refund. our final question ahead, you should get a full refund. 0urfinal question is ahead, you should get a full refund. our final question is from someone travelling to the uae with her peers, both in their 80s. travelling to the uae with her peers, both in their 805. i'm not peers, both in their 80s. i'm not quite sure what medication can i can't be ta ken quite sure what medication can i can't be taken into the buy. can you help, please? the royals were taking medication into the united arab emirates haven't changed. to bring on medicines on the controlled list, which includes some drugs such as codeine which are available over—the—counter in other countries, you need to apply in advance for permission. the registration and drug control department of the uae ministry of health has a new website

where you can apply for permission. for perception medicines which are not on the control list, you can bring up to three months' supply at the visitor if you have the original prescription or a letter from your doctor. that said for now but please carry on bringing me your travel problems and i'll do my best to bring you the answers. last year, slovakia in central europe will come to a record number of visitors, attracted chiefly by the breathtaking landscapes and excellent skiing. the mountains there are stunning at any time of year but they also hired a shiny secret. we said kate hardy buckley toa secret. we said kate hardy buckley to a resort to find out more. welcome to the 2018 gold panning

championships. a highly competitive gathering where emotions are running high. more than 500 competitors from 30 countries are here, hoping to strike gold. so, how does it all work? 0rganisers fill a bucket with sound and hide tiny specks of gold innards, flown all the way from california. now that i'm so close to the gold flakes, i realise how difficult it must be because they are tiny and some of these sound pieces arejust as are tiny and some of these sound pieces are just as small. it sounds like an impossible project. it's not impossible. then competitors race to find all the flakes. each bucket was contain the same number. for every one units, five minutes is added to your time. eager to try it myself, i send up for a listen with the british world champion. the first

thing you're going to need to do is poor that right into the centre of the pan and make a bit of a mountain. and then do big, flat circles. under the water like that. what will help you as the specific nature of gold, it is six times heavier than anything else in the pan so it wants to this hit the bottom of the pan and stay there like a rock. that looks like championship panning. so, shuffle and flattened and get everything in and flattened and get everything in a semicircle like that. i think i can see some gold sparkles. a semicircle like that. i think i can see some gold sparklesm absolutely shines like a beacon. i'm delighted. brilliant on your first ago. thanks so much, daisy. just beyond the championship side there is plenty of evidence we are ina there is plenty of evidence we are in a traditional mining town. it's

ha rd to in a traditional mining town. it's hard to believe i've been told there's an 70,000 euros worth of gold head and within these piles of rocks here. it just gold head and within these piles of rocks here. itjust shows how important gold as to the area. it's a very beautiful. richard is a local gold mine owner as well as a panning enthusiast. how extensive are all domains here? but life was hard underground. up until recently, the average miner lifter to a0 years of age. it's very cold, richard. yes. it was often said women would marry three husbands in one lifetime. 0ver

over at the championship side, the race is back on. it is that women's final and the place is heaving with excitement. and some of these women are so fast they found their specks within a minute. with all the flakes counted, i met the new world champion. how do you feel right now? really good. it has been a long week. it's a tough competition as well. it's good. but just when i thought it was all over blocked kate from bbc. i've been roped into competing and i'm

absolutely terrified. take your place. get ready. go! it looks like i've got a fan club. thank you for the encouragement. 0h, this is so tough. my back is about to break. but the adrenaline is keeping me going. 0k, i've got some gold. i would keeping me going. 0k, i've got some gold. iwould have keeping me going. 0k, i've got some gold. i would have thought gold panning was a rather relaxed, chilled sport. this is anything but. i think chilled sport. this is anything but. ithink i'm chilled sport. this is anything but. i think i'm done. thank you! so, i haven't done too badly for my first ago. ifound

haven't done too badly for my first ago. i found it haven't done too badly for my first ago. ifound it inflicts. u nfortu nately, ago. ifound it inflicts. unfortunately, there is a beautiful sparkly one just here that i have missed. but i didn't finish last, so maybe a bit of beginner's locker. no! you've missed those. i later found out i actually came second last. so, ithink last. so, i think i've got what they call gold fever and i'm often a stream to cfi can pin for some out here. it's grant what's wonderful about gold panning is usually about all that excitement and rivalry and noise, the competition. then you can come out here and it's just you, the river, and hopefully a few flakes of gold. sadly that's all we have time for

one this week's show. but coming up next week at... we are in tokyo, a confusing enough place if you able—bodied. but how well will it look after the disabled sports fans likely to arrive in big numbers for the olympics and paralympics of 2020? we are also on social media so you can follow our feeds from clicking through from the website. until next time, from us, it's goodbye. it's going to be a chilly day for most of us.

largely dry with the best of the sunshine across the west, but it will remain quite cloudy and wet across southern england. the good news is this evening it should start to turn a bit drier across the southern areas and for all it's going to be chilly with that easterly wind. the rain begins to peter out across the south, it should turn a bit dry here towards the end of the night, though the channel islands remaining quite wet. elsewhere, variable cloud, a bit of mist and murk. temperatures no lower than around 3—a degrees but when we get clear skies then we could see a patchy frost with temperatures dipping down to freezing. so for tomorrow it's pretty similar to today. a lot of dry weather around. maybe just a few showers across eastern scotland and eastern england. but a better—looking day across the south of the country. we could even see a little bit of brightness. but there is a chance of some rain across the near continent returning northwards into the south—east of england. it's going to be a chilly day. and it stays chilly into the start of the next week, too, but things gradually turning wetter, windier and milder midweek onwards. this is bbc news.

theresa may is set to head to brussels for talks today with top eu officials ahead of sunday's crucial summit to formally sign off the brexit deal. the dup's leader arlene foster is expected to reaffirm her opposition to the eu withdrawal deal at her party's annual conference. the dup's chief whip has insisted the withdrawal agreement is only the first phase of negotiations. if anyone believes this is the end of the road that we had in the last chance saloon, i don't think they understand the process at all. french police use water cannon and tear gas against protesters in central paris demanding a cut in the price of fuel. a man has been arrested after a police officer was stabbed outside a railway station in east london. the white house has dismissed a government report that warns
