other times it could be through mental health, it could be through poor health, physical disabilities. andy is part of one of the first specialist unit units set up to tackle county lines, using tactics to combat this highly organised form of crime. dedicated officers are stationed in towns where it becomes a problem. they carry out intelligence surveillance on drug gangs and thwart their efforts. that also identify vulnerable people in danger of being targeted and offer them support. even after that person has lost everything, it might be that they have their children taken away, they have lost their house, the drug gangs will continue to exploit them. the national crime agency estimate there are at least 1,500 other lines operating across england and wales. a serious problem new task forces want to end. sam everett, bbc news. now it's time for a look at the weather with darren bett. good evening. the weather this

weekend will look very different to last week. once storm deirdre has come through taking away the snow and freezing rain we have atlantic winds coming our way and more rain waiting in the wings and areas of cloud bringing rain for areas of england, wales and southern scotland and will head into the north sea in early hours and apart from one or two showers we will see clearing skies and it will turn a bit chilly as the winds will be light. a touch of frost here and there and one or two icy patches as well. for the eastern side of the uk, a decent day on monday, a fair bit of sunshine after the chilly start and further west the wind will pick up and introduce more clout and through the afternoon in particular we will see rain arriving as well. gales are more likely come the end of the day but a southerly wind we could see double fingers temperatures in

northern ireland and the central belt of scotland. this is bbc news. your headlines. theresa may's brexit deal. a senior minister suggest mps could have a free vote and reject further referendum. let me tell you that if there is a another referendum, and i don't think there will be, people like me will be immediately demanding it is best of three. five year boy becomes the third victim of a house fire in nottinghamshire. his mother and eight—year—old sister died yesterday. bad weather is blame for a fall yesterday. bad weather is blame for afall in yesterday. bad weather is blame for a fall in the number of high street shoppers on one of the busiest days before christmas. environmental groups criticised the deal struck at aun groups criticised the deal struck at a un climate conference in poland, saying it doesn't go far enough to curb greenhouse gas emissions. now, it is the 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 year's rugby world cup venues injapan. this time, she is in osaka. ferris wheel? it goes around. ok, she said it is straight ahead. arigato! our global guru simon gives us 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? its vast lakes and majestic mountains have inspired

generations of painters, poets and writers. the lake district is england's largest national park and that's where we are starting the 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 counts among wonders like the grand canyon in the us and machu pichu in peru. 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 prior 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 fells formed to tackle the erosion. every week, whatever the weather, volunteers gather 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 here that the original width of the path was about a metre wide, and yet now it stretches almost to three metres and that's been caused by erosion from footfall, people stepping on the path to walk around rocks, and rainfall off the mountain. making 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 this drain out a little bit to get a bit more flow when it gets into heavy rain. okie—dokie. 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 wet 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 camaraderie amongst the whole group. another reason is 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 volunteers to the hard work and take up liam's offer of a tour of up scafell pike. at 978 metres, it's england's highest mountain. i can't imagine how much labour must have gone into putting this pathway up the side of the mountain. there has been a team in footpath team in wasdale since 1988, so every year since then, work has gone into this path to create the sustainable line. 30 years of hard labour. more than 30 years of hard labour. it's more than a jail sentence. it's amazing. but here, the hard labour is rewarded by stunning views. it may not be the best of weather today, it's a bit misty out there, 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 and, after a couple of hours, we finally reach the top. well, the plateau

line just below it. so where is the peak? these crags, that is scafell pike with the summit just nestled in behind. and i believe there is some rockclimbing history. yeah, sure — it's the disputed home of rock climbing in england. a lot of people came and tested their skills on 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 servicemen and women to come and get away from it all, and we'd encourage everybody to show that respect when they're ascending scafell pike. conservation efforts in the lake district aren'tjust 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 phoenix. hello, phoenix. but you're not a phoenix. the golden eagle is really the icon of the lake district, in terms of its natural wilderness. sadly, the last golden eagle died about two or three years ago in the wild. so this little chap has is being trained up to fly, free—fly 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. and dee and daniel's ecotourism business introduces to animals that are or were once part of this region's wildlife, all with the hope of fostering further respect for these creatures and their habitat. another animal you're no longer 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 centuryjust up the road from here. but for dee'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. we want to show people that they are not the big bad wolf, the demonisation of hollywood and fairy stories isn't actually true, and 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

is a family bonding howl and this bond is for pack unity. it is our version of singing "we are family," and i've got all my wolf pack around me. howls wolves howl that was some good howling, boys. nicely done. time now to leave the lake district behind and find out about a tasty treat that is a traditional favourite over in iran. don't go anywhere, because coming up on the travel show: we head over to japan as carmen continues her challenge to explore one of the country's most famous cities in 90 minutes.

this time it's osaka. i've got to walk there? no, that way. 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 though, in belgium, the africa museum has reopened almost five years to 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. the aim of the fresh museum, to present a contemporary and decolonised vision of africa. next, samih alalawi from bahrain sends an email with the heading, "a hospitable place to visit?" samih, an american professor of psychology has done the work for you by researching the most friendly cities on the planet. the top placed cities are in latin america. rio in brazil and san jose in costa rica. more conveniently from your starting point in bahrain, lilongwe in malawi and kolkata in india are third and fourth respectively. but personally i find your part of the world, the middle east, is the region on earth where i have felt most warmly welcomed. next, andrew moger 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 for 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 want to focus on strength training, cardiovascular training, and endurance training. finally, gillian craigie wants to arrive at new‘sjfk airport at four in the afternoon and has an appointment in central manhattan at 7:30 pm. she wants to know: with new york's

jfk airportjust 12 miles from manhattan, on paper there should be no problem covering that distance in over three hours. but a recent snapshot of wait times for us customs and border protection at the airport's international arrivals terminal shows that the average wait for non—americans between 4—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, all the immigration checks take place on foreign soil. next, getting to manhattan — the evening rush hour will be building on the roads, so i suggest you go to the rail option. even with a long wait at border checks you should reach penn station by around 6pm. if you are running short of time you may want to check your bags into left luggage and grab a bite

to eat before the gig. that's all for now, but please keep sending me your travel questions and i'll do my best to find you solutions. bye for now. to finish the week, we are injapan to see carmen take on another challenge as she prepares to take on the sights and sounds of osaka against the clock. for 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 in what is also a dry run for the olympic 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 isn't always deserved. to show you why, i will be exploring six ofthe host cities against the clock.

today we are in osaka. it used to be the logistical hub for the ancient capital which was kyoto. it has a very distinct culture of its own, it has its own food and its own dialect. so much so that it is competing a lot with tokyo. some say it is the western capital of japan. so there is that east versus west thing going on. i have to walk there. no, that way. the challenge is 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 right now. the umeda sky building 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 are going up. so this is the famous midair escalator. what a magnificent view. the view is even more spectacular at the rooftop observatory. but unfortunately it's currently closed due to the damage from the recent typhoon which was the biggest in recent decades. is this the famous highway that runs through the building? i have seen this. like, it is world famous. ok, so to get to the next location i have got to catch a train. there is nothing worse

than arriving at a japanese train station in a panic. i have got to calm down, look at these lines. oh my goodness. so umeda station has a few stations by the same name, which goes different places. also there aren't many signages, lots of people there at any different time and there are so many exits and entrances, which makes it a really difficult challenge. we are good, we are good. we are here, at umeda station. and i need to get to namba. 0k. so 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, 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, called ta koyaki, which are octopus balls. i think i see the giant octopus, this must be it. oh my goodness, look at the line, it's huge. it must be good. i think they have their own theme song. takoyaki is a quintessentially osa kan food. it was invented here in osaka. it's made of bits of octopus inside a batter. i have got my takoyaki, what an experience just lining up and waiting for the ta koyaki. laughs. i think ijust burnt my tongue. it was worth it though!

so now onto 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. laughs. is that it? i think we found it. we were really, really close. this wheel, mounted onto the outside of a discount store is a local landmark.

it is thought to be the world's only oval ferris wheel. it has been out of action for almost the last ten years and has onlyjust been restored to its former glory. i am here. i made it. that's my whistlestop tour of osaka, with 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. wow, look at that! oh my goodness, what a view. dojoin us then, and in the meantime you can sign up 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, christa larwood, and the rest of the travel show team here in the lake district, it's goodbye.

what a difference a day makes. we won't see a return to the snowy and icy conditions once storm deirdre brought us the dangerous conditions yesterday but it has pushed away on the colder air has left our shores and everything is coming in from the atlantic. a couple of areas of cloud will bring rain as well and we have an area of rain heading across the uk now. not really troubling central and northern parts of scotland where we had a beautiful sunset in the highlands but a different story here in warwickshire in the midlands with wet weather for the drive during the evening and heading eastwards across

england, that will head into the early hours and apart from one or two showers we should have clearing skies and light winds as well. it will be chilly overnight and those temperatures are not far away from freezing. temperatures in rural areas might see patches as well. tomorrow looks a decent day for the east of the uk but misty over the snowfields in scotland and we have the wind picking up in the west and a bit of rain arriving as well. it isa a bit of rain arriving as well. it is a southerly winds and by the end of the day we will see the same in belfast. the rain will be a feature of the rain moving into tuesday and that will come into play later in the week. let's focus on the rain first of all which is moving slowly across the east and the wind is picking up again overnight so a windy start to tuesday with gales around the western coasts and you can see how slowly and staggers

eastwards with snow and may be some flooding issues by the end of the day and it takes all day for the rain to reach east anglia and temperatures on the mild side. the weather front does move away and then that will move its way towards oui’ then that will move its way towards our shores which will be focusing the showers. there will be sunshine around on wednesday and showers clipping the south—east for a while but most showers arriving in northern ireland and into the irish sea and into western parts of england and wales. maybe some longer spells of rain and temperatures will be lower on wednesday with highs of seven or 10 celsius. this is bbc world news today. i'm karin giannone. our top stories... a huge explosion at a restaurant in northern japan leaves at least 41 people injured — the cause is still unclear. jubilation after two weeks of climate talks finally result in a deal over how to put the paris accord into action — environmental groups though —

say it ‘lacks ambition‘. thousands march in hungary's capital budapest, in more protests at the government of viktor orban. what makes this one look and feel different is the sheer unity of the people here. protesters from the left and right of the political spectrum in hungary. sworn in — again. two months after he was sacked, sri lanka's ousted prime minister is back in thejob.
