a us federaljudge in texas has ruled that barack obama's signatu re healthca re reforms are unconstitutional. thejudge said obamacare had been invalidated by a change in tax law last year which removed a penalty for not having health insurance. president trump said the ruling was great news for america. cities across france are preparing for a fifth consecutive weekend of anti—government protests. the so—called yellow vest movement began as opposition to fuel duty rises but has grown into protests against president macron‘s administration. he has announced a series of tax and other concessions in a bid to end the unrest. britain's prime minister has insisted talks with the rest of the european union will continue over further clarification of arrangements for the northern ireland border. theresa may said she had held robust talks with the european commission president, jean—claude juncker, after he had complained the debate was nebulous and imprecise. now would you change the way you eat if you knew the impact your food

was having on the environment? scientists are calling for mandatory labels that spell out food's carbon footprint. and that includes everything from meat to chocolate. they say it would help consumers to make more informed choices. danny savage has been to bury market to see what they make of the idea there. food, glorious food. and at this time of year, we're stocking up big—time. but do we think about the environmental impact of its production and getting it here? i think when you mention carbon footprint, i'm pretty vague on that, and i think a lot of people are, to be honest. how often do you eat chicken? once a week. one to two times a week. we showed john and helen new calendar. tofu, would you be prepared to eat more vegetarian food like tofu instead of meat? i think we'd probably need persuading on that. at the cheesemonger next door, local delicacies were in demand. details about their carbon footprint, though, weren't. do you look at all this cheese

and think, "what's the carbon footprint of what i sell?" absolutely not. and do you think you customers think that? absolutely not. at the fruit and veg stall, there's stuff from all over the world. the idea of in—season local produce only doesn't fly. at this time of the year i reckon the fruit is all imported. it's only the vegetables that are local and seasonal. but sue and dan do think about the environmental impact and want to see labels. if it was on there showing up it was red for carbon or green then ithink, yeah, it would make a difference, people would start looking. and dan and sue are typical of many people we've talked to here today. they'd like more information about the carbon footprint of their food. labels would create the information about greenhouse gas emissions, about bio—diversity loss, and put that on products. that means consumers can change what they're purchasing. a coffee a day over the course of a year uses as much c02 as heating an average home for 2h days. farmed fish a couple of times a week

emits the same as driving a petrol car 373 miles. and if you eat beef once or twice a week, it's the annual equivalent of a return flight from london to malaga. although this butcher isn't too worried. when the weather gets cold, you know, the colder days draw in, i think the sunday roast is always going to be very popular. will we change our habits? maybe, but not without more easily—available information. danny savage, bbc news, bury. now on bbc news, it's time for the travel show. hello, and welcome to the travel show coming to you this week from the beautiful lake district in northern england. we are here to discover all the hard work that goes into conserving the region but also coming up... carmen continues her

whistlestop tour of next you's rugby world cup venues injapan. this time, she is in osaka. there is wheel? it goes around. ok, she said it is straight ahead. our global guru simon as with tips on how to make it to base camp on mount everest. and we find out where ice cream is said to have originated. new york? italy? it's a vast lakes and majestic

mountains have inspired generations of painters, poets and writers. the la ke of painters, poets and writers. the lake district is england's largest national park and that's where we are starting a show this week. and we are not on our are starting a show this week. and we are not on oui’ own. are starting a show this week. and we are not on our own. almost 20 million people annually visit this region and last year the lake district was awarded unesco world heritage status which means it now cou nts heritage status which means it now counts among wonders like the grand ca nyon counts among wonders like the grand canyon in the us and machu picchu in the room. that's pretty good company for a region whose steep mountains and picturesque valleys and lakes have been attracting tourists for over 200 years, come rain or shine. so the great thing about coming to this place at this time of year is the beautiful autumnal colours filling up the landscape. the bad thing is the autumn weather. liam pryor is a local ranger. unesco‘s recognition is filling people like him with great pride but this will inevitably add to an existing

concern. in total, we are talking hundreds of thousands of people each year coming to these mountains? it must have an impact on the land. every footfall causes a bit of erosion and the landscape would be a much different place if that erosion wasn't happening. thankfully, fix the bells formed to tackle the erosion. every week, whatever the weather, volunteers gathered to maintain and repairthe weather, volunteers gathered to maintain and repair the mountain paths, fix walls and protect the unique landscape and there is plenty to keep them busy. you can actually see hair that the original width of the path was about a metre wide and yet now it stretches almost to three metres and that been caused by erosion from footfall, people stepping on the path to walk around rocks and rainfall of the mountain. making the present mac —— the preservation work all the more urgent. and it's tough work, cleaning the drains and building the

path edges needs stamina, plenty of elbow grease and good shovel skills. all right, chaps, what's happening? basically what we want to do is extend the strain out a little bit to get a bit more flow when it gets into heavy rain. herky-jerky. let's do it. i think this is the first time i've used a shovel. barry and his dog hamish have also been volunteering for the past ten years. looking a bit matted and miserable. hamish has been doing it since he was a pup. the things that keep me coming back, firstly, there is a huge amount of, rather read amongst the whole group. another reason is i've walked on these fells for yea rs, i've walked on these fells for years, all my life basically, and it's a way of putting something back. as the sky clears, i leave the volu nteers back. as the sky clears, i leave the volunteers to the hard work and take a liam's offer of a tour of up

scuffle pike. at 978 metres, it is england's highest mountain. i can't imagine how much labour must have gone into putting this pathway at the side of the mountain. there has been a team in well stale since 1988 to every, workers have gone into this path to create a sustainable. but years of hard labour. more than 30 years of hard labour. it is more than a 30 years of hard labour. it is more thanajail 30 years of hard labour. it is more than a jail sentence. it's amazing. but here, the hard work is rewarded by stunning views. it may not be the best of weather today, it's a bit misty, but you can still see at this incredible view over the lake and it's not surprising that so many people are drawn here all year round. we march on after a couple of hours we finally reach the top. well, the plateau linejust below it. so where is the peak? these crags, that is scafell pike with a summit nestled behind. and i believe

there is some rockclimbing history. sure, it's the disputed home of rock climbing in england. a lot of people came and tested these crags in the late 1800s. but these seemingly eternal rocks have also lived through world events. after the climbers came the soldiers. after the first world war, scafell pike was gifted to the national trust as a war memorial and as a place for returning service men and women to come and get away from it and we show everybody to encourage —— encourage everybody to show that respect when they climb scafell pike. conservation efforts in the la ke pike. conservation efforts in the lake district are just focused on the landscape. up until a few years ago you could catch glimpses of large golden eagles towering over these summits but now the only place you find them is here at dee and daniel's place. this is the next. hello, phoenix. but you're not at the next. the golden eagle is really the next. the golden eagle is really

theicon the next. the golden eagle is really the icon of the lake district, the natural wilderness. sadly, the last golden eagle died about two or three yea rs golden eagle died about two or three years ago in the wild. so this little chap has been trained up to fly, little chap has been trained up to fly, free flight in the lakes so people can still see a wild golden eagle in its natural environment. the lake district is not immune to the global decline in biodiversity. dee and daniel's ecotourism business, people are introduced to animals that were once part of this region's wildlife. all the of fostering further respect for these creatures and their habitat. another animal you're not able to spot in the wild any longer in the lake district is the wolf. in fact, the last one is believed to have been killed way back in the 13th century just up the road from here. but for

d's hybrid wolves whose pedigree is pa rt d's hybrid wolves whose pedigree is part wolf, part dog, it's time for walkies. put your hand in the grip of the leash like this and we will go for a walk. taking your wolf for a walk. who want to show people that they are not the big bad wolf, the demonisation of hollywood and fairy tales isn't actually true and although it's not a place in the la ke although it's not a place in the lake district to have wolves any more, we can use that to show people that actually, coexistence with the predators we've got left is really, really vitally important. and as the sun goes down, my time here is up. but the details mean there is one thing up to take part into become a true member of the pack. there is lots of different wolf howls. the one that we are going to do as a family bonding power and this bond is the pack unity. it is our version of singing "we are family". howls.

wolves how. that was a nice howling boys. time natalie the lake district behind and find out about a tasty treat that is traditional favourite overin treat that is traditional favourite over in iran. —— time now to leave.

don't go anywhere, because coming up on the travel show: we head to japan as carmen continues her challenge to explore one of the country's most famous cities in 90 minutes. this time it is osaka. i've got to lock there? no, that way. —— walk. hello from malaga. this week i have advice on trekking to everest base camp, and the friendliest places on the planet, according to a californian professor of psychology. first, in belgium, the africa museum has reopened almost five years to

the day after it closed for a com plete the day after it closed for a complete renovation. the grand venue, originally known as the palace of the colonies is set in parkland in the south of the belgian capital brussels. the original name was the museum of the belgian congo, and much of the contents were brought from what is now the democratic republic of congo will stop their aim of the fresh museum, to present a contemporary and decolonised vision of africa. next, sami from decolonised vision of africa. next, samifrom bahrain decolonised vision of africa. next, sami from bahrain sends an e—mail with the heading, a hospitable place to visit? an american professor of psychology has done the work for you by researching the most friendly cities on the planet. the top place to cities are in latin america. rio in brazil and san jose in cities are in latin america. rio in brazil and sanjose in costa rica.

more conveniently from your starting point in bahrain, malawi and col katter in india are third and fourth respectively. but i find your part of the world, the middle east, is the region on earth where i have felt most warmly welcomed. next, andrew from west yorkshire has an adventure in mind. it has always been my ambition to trek to the everest base camp. what would you recommend to me to achieve this? this is a real trip of a lifetime, andrew, and required some specialist advice. it is a very achievable goal for someone in their mid— even late 60s into their 70s with a well thought out plan. get your gear list, start to accumulate the gear because that will probably take a bit of time. you want to start to physically prepare yourself, you wa nt to physically prepare yourself, you want to focus on strength training, cardiovascular training, and endurance training. finally jenny

and craig pitt wants to arrive at new‘s jfk airport as four and craig pitt wants to arrive at new‘sjfk airport as four in and craig pitt wants to arrive at new‘s jfk airport as four in the afternoon and has an appointment in central manhattan at 7:30 p.m.. she wa nts to central manhattan at 7:30 p.m.. she wants to know: with new york's jfk airport just 12 miles from manhattan, on paper there should be no problem covering that distance in over three hours. at the recent snapshot of weight times for us customs and border protection at the airport's international arrivals terminal shows that the average wait for non— americans between four and 5pm was 33 minutes with a maximum of 70 minutes. you can avoid such problems by choosing a departure airport in europe, such as dublin, which has us preclearance, or the immigration checks take place on foreign soil. —— all. next, getting

to manhattan, at the evening rush hour will be building on the roads, soi hour will be building on the roads, so i suggest you go to the rail option. even with a long way to border checks you should reach penn state —— penn station by around six p.m.. if you are running short of time you may want to check your bags into left luggage and at a bite to eat before the gig. that's also now but please keep sending me your travel questions and i'll do my best to find new solutions. — hour. —— by one hour. to finish the week we are injapan to see come and take on another challenge as she prepares to take on the sights and sounds of osaka against the clock. to the first time ever, the rugby world cup heads to asia next year. 400,000 sports fans will go and see their teams at ten host cities around japan. their teams at ten host cities aroundjapan. in their teams at ten host cities around japan. in what is also a dry run for the link the games in tokyo

in 2020. some will be worried about japan's reputation as a place that is tricky to get around if you don't speak the language. it's a myth that i think is always deserved. to show you why i will be exploring six of the host cities against the clock. today we are in osaka. it used to be the logistical hub for the age and capital which was kyoto. it has a distinct culture of its own, it has more of its own food and its own dialect. so much so that it is competing a lot with tokyo. some say it is the west and capital ofjapan. so there is that east versus west thing going on. i have to walk there. no, that way. challenge is this. i have 90 minutes, the length ofa this. i have 90 minutes, the length of a rugby match plus half—time to see its three big highlights. what have you got in store for me today.

what is my challenge. today you are going to go three places. we have something to see, something to eat, and then a little curveball at the end. my first stop is a building that dominates the skyline here. this is it, this is where my challenge starts. let's start the clock now. the building is a landmark tower here in osaka. it has a 40th floor observatory where you can enjoy the view of the city. the escalator itself is between two buildings, so you can enjoy the city view while you can enjoy the city view while you are going up. this is the famous midair escalator. what a magnificent view. the view is even more spectacular at the rooftop observatory. unfortunately it's currently closed due to the damage from the recent typhoon which was

the biggest in recent decades. from the recent typhoon which was the biggest in recent decadesm this the famous highway that runs through the building? i have seen this. it is world famous. so to get to the next location i have to catch a train. there is nothing worse than arriving ata there is nothing worse than arriving at a japanese train station in a panic. i have to calm down, look at these lines. 0h panic. i have to calm down, look at these lines. oh my goodness. the station has a few stations by the same name which goes different places. also there are many signage is, lots of people there any different time and there are so many that and entrances, which makes it a really difficult challenge stop we are good, we are good. we are here, at umeda station. it is easier than you might think

netting around on the metro or the subway here. a lot of the signs are now in japanese, korean, subway here. a lot of the signs are now injapanese, korean, english, even chinese. particularly in big cities like tokyo and osaka. carmen is going to come out in the dontonbori district, and she is going to try a local delicacy, octopus balls. it must be good. look at the line. i think they have their own theme song. takoyaki is went essentially a sucker food. it was invented here in osaka. bits of octopus inside a batter. invented here in osaka. bits of octopus inside a batterlj invented here in osaka. bits of octopus inside a batter. i have got my ta koyaki, what octopus inside a batter. i have got my takoyaki, what an experience just lining up and waiting for the

takoyaki. (laughs). ithink lining up and waiting for the takoyaki. (laughs). i think i do burnt my tongue. it was worth it though! now i am the next task. i am looking for a ferris wheel. time is ticking. an hour and seven minutes have passed so i have 21 minutes. ferris wheel? speaks japanese. arigato! she said it is straight ahead. is that it? i think we found it. we were really close. this wheel, mounted under the outside of a discount store is a local

landmark. it is thought to be the world's only oval ferris world. —— ferris wheel. it has been out of action for almost the last ten years and has only just action for almost the last ten years and has onlyjust been restored to its former glory. i am here. and has onlyjust been restored to its former glory. iam here. i made it. that's my whistlestop tour of osaka. in roughly ten minutes to spare. what a way to finish the day. that was carmen reporting from japan. we will be back there next week when: she embarks on another 90 minute challenge, this time in the japanese port city of kobe. look at that! oh my goodness, what have you. dojoin us then, and in the meantime you can signup to our social media feeds and see where we are in the

world, as well as sharing some of your travel stories. but now from me and the rest of the travel show team here in the lake district, it's goodbye. hello. after a fairly quiet day on friday, the weather is about to turn much more lively as we head through the course of the weekend. we've got a named storm, storm dierdre, it's been named by met eireann. that is bringing some very disruptive weather this weekend with warnings, amber warnings from the met office for ice and snow, and there will also be freezing rain which will bring widespread ice on any roads and untreated surfaces too. here is where we've got the amber warnings out through saturday and early into sunday as well. ice warnings across much of northern england and southern scotland and we'll also have snow and freezing rain here. heavy snow across many

central parts of scotland, mainly to the north of the central belt. the reason for all this disruptive weather is milder air moving in from the atlantic, with these weather fronts which are which are packing in and bumping into this cold air, so a cold saturday dawn, temperatures sub—zero for many of us. that milder air works in from the west along with the rain, the freezing rain and ice and snow too. notjust the rain, freezing rain, ice and snow, but also some strong winds which will cause some disruption too. so you can see the rain edging its way gradually eastwards across the country, bumping into that cold air in place, and it will be turning to snow, mostly over the higher ground for the north of wales, the pennines too but even to the south we could get one or two flakes of snow earlier on before it turns back to rain, i think, during the middle part of the afternoon. could be about 2—5 centimetres of snow, even to low levels across northern england. to the north of the central belt, 10—20 centimetres of snow and the freezing rain really will be quite dangerous. that's rain droplets that willjust freeze instantly on impact with the cold ground,

bringing a real instant ice rink effect. so some pretty disruptive weather through the course of saturday, all down to storm dierdre. it's going to cause disruption to travel through saturday night and on into sunday too. with that mix of freezing rain, snow and ice and strong winds too, your bbc local radio stations will keep you up—to—date with any disruption to travel. so heading on into the second half of the weekend, we start off sunday still with some rain and snow to the north—east which should slowly clear away. it will be a drier day compared to saturday, not as windy. more sunshine in the east but there will be some lying snow and still the risk of ice. further rain showers then packing in from the west later on in the day. it won't be quite as cold, so those temperatures starting to nudge up about 6—10 degrees through the day on sunday and then things turn a bit milder into the new working week, still unsettled with further showers for monday and tuesday too. bye for now. good morning.

welcome to breakfast, with naga munchetty and jon kay. 0ur headlines today: brexit is in danger of getting stuck — that's the warning from a senior cabinet minister who urges mps from all parties to come together. crucial talks to tackle global warming continue through the night as officials from 200 countries struggle to agree a deal. a british sailor, rescued after her boat capsized during a round the world race, says she would do it all again in a heartbeat. crazy high—five living in scotland. livignston score five in just 14 minutes to thrash hearts late in the game, and there was a red card too in a match that had been rather dull. good morning. amber warnings are
