this is bbc news, the headlines: one of the biggest football matches in argentina's history — the copa libertadores final — has been postponed after the boca juniors team bus was attacked by rival fans in buenos aires. they were due to play river plate. theresa may has written an open letter to the british public, urging people to back her brexit deal. the plan was finalised with the european commission president, jean—claude juncker, in brussels ahead of a historic summit on sunday. but it faces widespread opposition in the british parliament. police in paris have used tear gas and water cannon to disperse tens—of—thousands of protesters calling for an end to fuel tax rises. protests by a grassroots movement identified by their hi—vizjackets have been held across france for the second weekend running. the search is on for missing footage of sir david attenborough first aired on the bbc almost 50 years ago. staff at the royal institution are asking the public to look in their attics for any recordings of their christmas science lectures

— including those by sir david — after realising 31 broadcasts are missing from their collection. our media and arts correspondent, david sillito, reports. we will have a little protein dance. carl sagan, in1977, doing the protein dance. very good. can you get a different note on it? christopher zeeman and the science of music. heart rate 126 — you must be calming down, robert. how do you feel now, compared to before? great. these lectures have been a christmas tradition since 1825, and were first broadcast on the bbc in 1936. 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 was 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 are hoping that some of their technologically inclined viewers might be able to help them complete the full collection. now on bbc news — the travel show. 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 and 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 froma 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 5 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—round and games. and paris fashion week is in mid—january. but the most of us mere 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 a 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. mac the tricky business of taking medicines into dubai. in florida, the high—speed rail link running

between miami and west palm beach has increased the frequency to ones are now. the train takes about 45 minutes to reach west palm beach and the train operator has also launched a select ticket which promises curated a food and beverage items. next, canada's taking his family to asia. he is it is a 24—hour stopover in the south korean capital seoul. good question? to answer it, i thought we should hear from someone who knows is all really well full top halley bradley who writes a blog about the city. there is a time you can see in 2a hours. head down to the main palace in korea. from there, you can check out the

traditional korean homes and the traditional korean homes and the traditional asian markets that has over 100 years of history here and serves up over 100 years of history here and serves up delicious noodle soups lunch. check out the plaza, a great modern edition. next, someone wants toa modern edition. next, someone wants to a holiday in the european union after the uk has left. she says she can't find the answer to question online. much more significantly for most travellers from britain, the package

travellers from britain, the package travel regulations enshrined in uk law require companies to deliver the holiday as a booked or provide appropriate assistance or recompense. booking a package holiday is a wise plan. if whatever reason the trip is not go ahead, you should get a full refund. 0ur reason the trip is not go ahead, you should get a full refund. our final question... i am not quite sure what medication can be taken into dubai. the rules are taking medication into the uae have not changed. to bring in medicines on the controlled lists, you need to apply in advance for permission. the registration and drug control department ministry of

health has a new website where you can apply for permission. you can bring up to three months supply for other medicine if you have a prescription or letter for your doctor. carry on bringing me your travel problems. see you soon. last year, slovakia welcomed a number of visitors. the mountains there are stunning at any time of year but they also hide a shiny secret. we went to the mountain resort of hodrusa—hamre to find out more. take your place, get ready, go! 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 sand and hide tiny specks of gold in it, flown all the way from california. now that i am up so close to the gold flakes, i realise how difficult it must be, because they are tiny. and some of these sand pieces are just as small. it sounds like an impossible project. no, it's not impossible. then competitors race to find all the flakes. each bucket will contain the same number. for every one you miss, five minutes is added to your time. eager to try it myself, i have signed up for a lesson with british world champion daisy thurkettle. first thing you need to do is pour that into the centre of the pan and make a bit ofa mountain.

and then you are going to do big, flat circles, yes, right under the water like that, perfect. what is going to help with this is the specific gravity of gold, it is about six times heavier than everything else in your pan, so the gold really wants to hit the bottom of your pan and stay there like a rock. bit more power, give it some welly! that looks like championship panning. i really hope there is some gold in here. shuffle and flatten and get everything in a semicircle like that. i think i can see some gold sparkles. yes, it absolutely shines like a beacon, doesn't it. 0n yourfirst go! brilliant! cap on, you don't want to lose those babies. thanks so much, daisy. just beyond the championship site, there is plenty of evidence we are in a traditional mining town. it is hard to believe, but i have been told there is an estimated 70,000 euros worth of gold

hidden within these piles of rocks here. itjust shows how important gold is to the area. richard is a local gold mine owner as well as a panning enthusiasts. richard is a local gold mine owner as well as a panning enthusiast. how extensive are all the mines here? but life was hard underground. up until recently, the average miner lived to a0 years of age. very cold, richard. yes. it was often said women would marry three husbands in one lifetime. over at the championship site, the race is back on.

it is the women's final and the place is heaving with excitement. some of these women are so fast, they found their specks within under a minute. applause. with all the flakes counted i met the new world champion. how do you feel right now? pretty good! it has been a long week. it is a tough competition, so... it is good. butjust that i thought it was all over,... number22, kate from bbc! so i have been roped in to competing, and i am absolutely terrified. take your place...

get ready... go! chanting: bbc! bbc! it looks like i have got a fan club. thank you for the encouragement! 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 have thought gold panning was a rather relaxed, chilled sport but this is anything but. i think i am done. cheering and applause. thank you! i haven't done too bad for my first go. i found 18 flakes, unfortunately there is a beautiful

sparkly one just here that i have missed, but i did not finish last. so maybe a bit of beginner's luck. oh no! i missed loads. i later found out i actually came second last. so i think i've got what they call gold fever, and i'm off to find a stream to see if i can pan for some out here. what is wonderful about gold panning is you can have all the excitement and rivalry and noise of competition, but then you can come out here and it is just you, the river, and hopefully a few flakes of gold. sadly that is all we have time for on this week's show, but coming up next week: sadly that is all we have time for on this week's show,

but coming up next week: we are in tokyo, a confusing enough place if you are able—bodied, how well will it look after the disabled sports fans likely to arrive in big numbers for the olympics and paralympics of 2020? don't forget we are also all over social media, so you can follow any of our feeds by clicking through from bbc.com/travelshow. until next time, from me, christa larwood, and the rest of the travel show team in paris, it is goodbye. hello, thanks forjoining me.

in the short term, no big changes to our weather. that will come, but it won't arrive until the middle part of the week. as far as sunday's concerned, actually, for most of us, it's looking decent enough, and pretty good as well across the south of the country, where recently we've had a lot of cloud and some rain too. now, here's the big picture across the continent. a lot of blue, so that means that the air‘s still cold, and it's coming out of eastern parts of europe and also scandinavia. but that will change, as i say. by the time we get to around about tuesday, wednesday, milder air starts to arrive off the atlantic. here's the early hours of sunday morning. temperatures will be above freezing in bigger towns and cities, two degrees, say, in edinburgh, around about 6 or 7 in the south. but we will have pockets of frost here and there, especially where we have seen

clearer skies overnight, and that's probably across western scotland and northern ireland. now, sunday itself at times will be cloudy, so not promising clear blue skies, and in fact you might even need your umbrella from time to time in the north—west of the country. there could be a few showers here, carried by that easterly wind, but in the south a better day. temperatures will get up to about eight degrees in london, so still pretty chilly, and only six celsius expected in edinburgh. now, here's the big picture on monday. you'll notice a big low pressure sitting out there in the atlantic. it is heading our way, but it won't reach us until monday night, early hours of tuesday it'll reach western parts of the uk. so monday still a quiet day — in fact, very little wind first thing in the morning on monday. there'll be some mist and fog around. quite tricky driving conditions, maybe, out in the countryside, first thing on monday, particularly around say western and central areas of the uk. but the day itself is going to be fairly decent, and still chilly. temperatures will be no higher than around six again in edinburgh, seven maybe in liverpool, possibly getting up to around 10 degrees in plymouth. and then monday night into tuesday, we start to see a change. that big low in the atlantic starts

whooshing in much milder air, much, much milder air, in our direction. but with that, you can see a lot of arrows here, so that means stronger winds — in fact, risk of gails on the way. and it is a big area of low pressure, with smaller lows even running around it, and these could be responsible for bringing some very strong winds to some parts of the country during the course of the week. so we're keeping an eye on next week. there'll be a fair bit of rain on our way, but look at that, look at those temperatures — 1a degrees celsius. but remember, gale—force winds, potentially, almost anywhere in the uk. that's it from me, bye—bye. hello and welcome to bbc news. i'm reged ahmad. officials have postponed one of the biggest football matches in argentina's history after a bus carrying one of the teams was attacked by rival fans, injuring several of the players. the final of the south american club championship, the copa libertadores, was due to take place between two rival clubs from buenos aires. lebo diseko has this report.
