the un secretary general, antonio guterres, has told an international climate summit that the world is way off—course in its plan to prevent catastrophic climate change. he warned heads of state and government at the un climate conference in poland that they were still not doing enough or moving fast enough. president trump and first lady melania have paid their respects at the rotunda of the us capitol, where the body of former president george hw bush is lying in state. mr bush, the 41st president, died on friday aged 94. he will be buried on thursday. mexico's new president, andres manuel lopez obrador, has signed a decree creating a truth commission to investigate the kidnapping and killing of 43 student—teachers four years ago. it sparked weeks of protests, and prosecutors have accused the security forces of involvement. the number of working people living in relative poverty is the highest in 20 years.

that's according to a new report by thejoseph rowntree foundation. relative poverty‘s defined as an income less than 60% of the average of people living in similar circumstances. four million workers in the uk now fall into this group. danny savage reports. i open the curtains in the morning and hope for the best. sue prince constantly worries about money. every day, i check my bank. i need to know what's coming in and going out of my account. she has three part—timejobs, but it still leaves her with precious little to live on after paying her overheads. my rent is £495 a month, plus there's other household bills as well. i'm still only left with about £80 a month. that goes to buy my food and top up my gas and electrical. buxton‘s a bit out in the sticks, it and does get cold. on a tuesday, the day ends with a visit to an informal food bank... how important is getting this food to you each week? very.

it is to me, anyway. ..where sue collects a few days‘ worth of supplies. i was embarrassed at first, quite embarrassed. but now... i don't know, it's become a way of life for me. and i know i need it. i wouldn't do it if i didn't need it. for £1.50 a visit... food which is donated, damaged or nearly out of date is handed out. they can't afford to buy it, so need this. they then return to their homes on this estate in rural derbyshire, just a handful of the four million people in the uk it's claimed are in work, but living below the poverty line. keeping the rent going, keeping a roof over your head, is often a really high priority. we also then find that they're trying to pay the water bill, the electricity, the heating and council tax, so a lot of people will be rotating between those different bills and each week working out, "which one don't i pay?" the government, though, says far fewer people are living

in poverty and household incomes have never been higher. sue is getting a little more money now that she's moved on to universal credit, but is still reliant on food hand—outs and doesn't see that changing. danny savage, bbc news, buxton. you are up to date on the headlines. now on bbc news — the travel show. this week on the travel show we are in tokyo, hosts of the 2020 paralympics. finding out what it will be like for disabled visitors travelling to the city. no elevator. soiam travelling to the city. no elevator. so i amjust travelling to the city. no elevator. so i am just going to have to brave the stairs. also coming up, catching waves at hawaii's adaptive surf school. and travelling with autism.

how one family prepares for their first flight together. instead of having them down, we put this little solution on them. i'm so sorry! i'm so solution on them. i'm so sorry! i'm so sorry! first up we are off to tokyo, where thousands of disabled athletes and spectators will show up for the 16th summer paralympic games in 2020. paul carter has gone to find out how the city is preparing. tokyo, a sprawling metropolis where historic monuments rest alongside futuristic skyscrapers. my name is paul carter, i'm a journalist, and this is my first time in tokyo. i've come here to find out what life is like for disabled people, not only visiting here, but also who call this place their home. i was born

without any lower arms or legs, and as you can probably see, i use short prosthetics get around. so i am just off to try to find something to eat. 0bviously off to try to find something to eat. obviously it does pose some challenges, particularly with my height, anywhere with high stools like this is actually out of bounds to me. and in terms of fatigue, i can't walk for the very long distances. sometimes people thingy and have a perception of who i am and have a perception of who i am and what they might be able to do and what they might be able to do and what they might be able to do and what my limitations are —— cini. and i don't always think that is their expectations beat my reality. 0ne their expectations beat my reality. one thing that is always a particular challenge at home is soupe. —— soup. but here it is not considered rude to drink from the bowl. bon appetit. i'm in the most populated city in the world and i am heading to its tallest tower to see

what tokyo looks like from high. this modern icon was built in 2012 and stands at a whopping 634 metres high. my my ears just my earsjust popped. i am told it can withstand earthquakes of up to seven magnitude, as well as handle 10,000 visitors a day. it looks like a lego cityscape, it does not look real. you get a sense of not only a scale of how massive this place is, but had densely populated it is, how everything is so tightly packed together. i think usually on a clear day, you should be able to see mount fuji in the distance, i think the weather gods have not smiled on us today. me and tall things don't usually go together, to be honest with you, but it is actually nice to feel i am looking down on something for once. you cannot come to the skytree tower and not have your photo taken

at the own my god. i have just realised there is a glass floor. that makes me feel a little bit sick. i really don't like it! i love it! it's got my best side. that was so cool. if you can cope with the crowds is pretty easy to get around, could have done without the glass floor, to be honest with you. not the biggest fan of heights, didn't realise that was there. but absolutely cracking fun, really good place to come. but away from the modernity, i wanted to find out how tokyo's historic monuments measure out for accessibility. canadian bornjosh has lived here for more than a decade and runs a website offering advice to disabled visitors. let's go. i don't know where to look

first. sites everywhere. this is tokyo's oldest and most famous town. it was founded in the seventh century but was rebuilt after the second world war. the building is not original any more. i was saying it does not look like 1400 years old. what is most impressive about this place is that at a have done a lot to make it will check assessable but they have done it in a way that doesn't affect the general feeling of the place. that's the lift. yes, it is well hidden, a lot of people do not know where it was, they had to put a sign on it. as we enter the main pagoda, i started taking some of the traditions of japanese buddhist culture. what is happening over here? people are throwing... they are making prayers. the first thing that strikes me is the scale of it. it's much bigger than i was expecting and it is a lot more gold. yes... laughter. everyone here seems very deferential and get a sense of reverence. it is very important

to the older people injapan. in the past ten years, 11 years, since you have been here, have you seen things change? for sure. for example, along with infrastructure improvements i think people's attitudes have begun to change a lot more. before they will be barely anyone else in a wheelchair and it would be fairly strange. people are able to go out more often, they are going out more often and because of that people around them are getting used to the different colours of society. with the olympics coming up i think that is getting even better. so far, i have been genuinely impressed by the efforts that have been made to improve access to the city's tourist attractions, but what's it like getting around? i'm told that the subway system is 80—90% assessable, so in theory, troubleshooting fairly straightforward. is this the entrance?

no elevator? i am going to have to brave the stairs because i don't know where the elevator is. exit, toilet. information. find a lift. 0k, downstairs. 0k, thank you. so there is not an elevator on this floor. it is stairs again. shibuya's new subway station was designed over three levels with lots of steps. there are lifts and escalators, but there is a lack of information and i had to walk long distances to find them. there is a signed therefore a train. ok, this looks more like it.

the button says international languages, it is too high to me to reach. could i buy a ticket? 0k. i have no idea if i am in the right place, but we will soon find out. by the time i reached the platform on the bottom level, i am pretty tired. but it seems i'm not the only one, even locals find it confusing. how do you find the access to the subway? eventually, i reach my destination. we made it! to a side street.

oh well, we're sort of there. i'm curious about current attitudes to disability is here injapan. there are over 6 million people registered disabled in this country and i'm off to an event where nondisabled people get to find something out about what life is like for them. so, tell me a little bit about what is going on here. we have a paralympic sport awareness event. you can try out anything you want a. it is hoped that events like this will not only help educate public on how to behave, but actually changed society. people treat me like a special person. i am a person with an impairment, but i am not a special person. paralympics has the power to change society. it has been changing little by little and in two years, it will change society.

this all looks really great. would you like to try some? let's give it a crack. yes. are you ready? i don't think so, but 0k. that was genuinely terrifying. quite refreshing to see so many people engaging with the events and with the trials. i must admit i was a little bit cynical this kind of thing coming into it. nondisabled people doing para sports, sometimes it is a bit naff. you know what, people are really engaging with it and if that is what it takes to expose people to this sport and engage with disability, then it is only a good thing. still to come, we meet the twins

with autism about to embark on their first family holiday. i am so sorry! so stick with us for that. welcome to trend in travel. your rundown of the best travel stories ticked and clips happening online. this month we are focusing on the world of disabled travelling. 0ne sport making its debut at the tokyo 2020 olympics is surfing. but disabled surfers are still waiting for their chance to compete at the paralympics. here in hawaii, one of the world's top surfing destinations, an organisation helps people of all abilities to catch some waves. adaptive surfing is a term that

means either the equipment or the person surfs has been modified. there are a lot of ways people can surf. in a laydown position, they might have a bit of a ramp on their board for their chests or some handles. there is also something called a way you've ski, sitting on top of the surfboard and they have a paddle. and of course there is also standard surfing. the word we hear all the time, why it is important, is that freedom. true empowerment and we are working towards hopefully the paralympics. the international surfing association and programmes like access surf were all built the sport of competitive surfing. take my word for it, camping in a wheelchair can be an absolute nightmare. it's not my idea of fun. i am more of a hotel person myself.

but a company based out of the uk claims to have the solution. the 0mnipod. it is a luxury, prefab with extra space, ramps and specially adapted kitchen and washroom. the manufacturer claims all it takes is a single day to install. a few have gone up already and it is hoped that these pods can open up the great outdoors, as well as britain's many summer festivals. thanks to all of you that got in touch about the challenges that you faced on your travels. we have asked some of the internet‘s top disability travel bloggers for their favourite trips and tips for anyone wanting to follow them around the world. ed is a profoundly deaf traveller who has ticked off six continents injust seven years. the biggest issue i probably face is awareness. whether it is a tour company, trains, buses, or even fellow

travellers on the road, it is not their fault, really, because they need to be educated. that is what thedeaftraveller.com is all about. when you come to another country and nobody knows exactly what your disability is, it's your chance to educate them on what your disability is and what you should expect of the other person to treat you how you would want to be treated. the best experience has be the first time i went out to colorado. i was really apprehensive. it was the first time following my spinal cord injury when i realised what was possible with a disability and of course i met my partner, beth. don't forget to share your adventures with us. travelling with kids can be pretty stressful at the best of times

but the sights and sounds can be overwhelming for some children with autism. we are following the ellis family and the autistic we live outside birmingham, alabama. let's head over to america to meet them. i mand the and my husband is frank. —— i'm amber. we have four beautiful boys. frankie, i7. stephen, i4. and then we have a set of boy twins who are four years old. alex and will. we are the ellis family.

we have known each other since high school. we were friends the whole time. we dated in high school and married in college and this is our 20th wedding anniversary. because we have issues with the boys, we have not been on a trip in a long time. not effective at communication. it takes a lot of intuition to figure out what they need. we have a lot of meltdowns. when there are two autistic non—verbal children, the behaviour can be exponential. sometimes they play off each other. we have had a lot of emotional turmoil the past year. we have lost some family members, there has been a lot of grief. we talked about taking a trip. this is our 20th anniversary. we wanted to go as a family and just enjoy each other. we felt like it was

time to go on a trip. it's taken a long time to come to the point where we were ready. we have never flown with the twins before. we are nervous and excited about getting on a plane. because they are autistic non—verbal, they function on the level of about an 18—year—old. they are a lot of work. we went to the beach for a couple of days a few years ago. but they were very small. this will give us a good sense of how it will be. how are we going to do an airplane? somebody is always got to take care of one of the twins. another person has to take care of the other one and who will take care of all of the things that we take with us? what do we need to take?

what snacks are we going to have? do we take the blankets, do we take the toys, the ipad? things to keep them entertained. and then, are we going to have meltdowns? if they melt down, how do we deal with the people around us? how do we let them know that it is really 0k? and that we are actually ok with meltdowns. just keeping them calm as much as possible. you worry about the people around you, that you are offending people, and you worry about being judged. just that somebody understands is so helpful. you don't feel so crazy. they are autistic, so they come with their own needs. we are going to take the whole family for the first time

to a special park called wonderland in san antonio, texas. it is a special needs park and they have a lot of fun things for specifically special—needs children, very wheelchair accessible. there is a lot of different ways it could go. they are very strict routines that they have to have, going outside about a little bit. it will stress them a little bit. you just kind of have to roll with it. i'm looking forward to it primarily because it's a new thing that we haven't done before so it's kind ofjust like, challenge accepted, let's do it. the fun for him is, let's do this, let's see if we can accomplish it. it's just his personality. it's a lot of fun! i played too many strategy games.

everything is pretty ready. finishing up any last details. we will be ready for tomorrow. so we are going to fly out of birmingham and fly to houston. the flight from birmingham to houston is relatively short, only two hours. from there, we will rent a truck or some kind of vehicle and drive the rest of the way to san antonio. i might be getting a little nervous now. we are at the airport and we are pulling into the parking deck so it's a really real, we are going to do it. frank senior, frank junior. stephen, alex. you and will.

look at that lens. one more time, look at the lens. it's kind of a healing time for our family, its redemptive. we can go on this trip together. the older boys have such a sweet dynamic with the little boys. is that 0k? instead of packing them down, they put this little solution on them. —— patting. two toddlers is difficult. when you add non—verbal autistic, itjust makes it exponential. i always feel like this sense to rush. we are plenty of time. i have to emotionally prepare myself. i am so relieved that part is over. let's just get to the gate. you kind of carry that anxiety in the back of the mind.

how is it going to go? just kind of be ready to roll with the punches. whatever happens, just be ready for anything. and we will find out how the family get on next week as they head to that theme park in america, designed for children with special needs. while carmen spends 90 minutes in nagoya injapan, attempting to see three of the cities highlights in the time it takes to watch a rugby match. i'm definitely in the right place. nagoya castle. and my time starts now. 0k, well, that's your lot this week and don't forget, you can keep up with all our travels online, but for now, from me, and all the travel show team here at london's 0lympic park, it's bye bye. hello.

a quieter, colder spell of weather for tuesday, but then the weather gets more active again from midweek. yes, it'll get milder, but it'll also turn wetter and windier once again. but at least for tuesday, we are in a gap between weather systems. here's the next one coming in, really isn't much of an issue though until we get to tuesday night and wednesday. but in that gap between weather systems, temperatures dropping away to give a widespread frost for tuesday morning, as low as —6 in highland scotland. a few mist and fog patches around as well, and ice a potential hazard across northern and western parts of scotland, where we've seen a few showers overnight, wintry on hills, some continuing. but for many for much of the day,

it is dry, it is sunny, but yes, it's cold. cloud from the south—west giving rein in the far south—west of england and into tuesday evening and overnight this is moving northwards across more of england, wales and into northern ireland. ahead of that weather system to the north of it, temperatures will drop away again for a frost or fog patches, again the coldest in highlands of scotland. less cold when you get that reigned moving in. it continues at advancing northwards, still some uncertainty about how final. cauldron off for snow into the pennines, maybe the higher ground north of the central belt, should it get that far north, northern scotla nd get that far north, northern scotland staying dry on sunday, rain query for northern ireland but hanging around england and wales as it is like its way eastwards and a big range of beverages north to south. turning milder across parts of england and wales once again. further weather fronts close by on

thursday, expected to deal of cloud, outbreaks of rain. to end the week, a deepening error of low pressure on friday running across. looks like the northern half of the uk and that's where we will see shortlist wind more with severe gales affecting parts of scotland, northern ireland, northern england and the irish sea coast. we'll keep you updated on that. still quite mild, into the weekend behind that weather system things will turn colder once again. for the rest of the week after the cold and quite interlude, wet and windy at times, potentially stormy to end the week but it will be turning milder for a time. is your latest forecast. —— that is. welcome to bbc news, broadcasting to viewers in north america and around the globe. my name is mike embley. our top stories: a crucial summit on climate change, a warning and a call to action from the naturalist and bbc presenter david attenborough. if we don't take action, the collapse of our civilisations and the extinction of much of the natural world is on the horizon.
