humanitarian aid enter the country. trucks carrying food and medicines donated by the us have arrived in a colombian border town but have been blocked from entering venezuela by soldiers. local authorities in rio dejaneiro say they have detected a series of irregularities at a training centre for one of brazil's most popular football clubs, flamengo, where a fire killed at least ten people. youth players aged between 1a and 17 are among the dead. the king of thailand has denounced his sister's candidacy for prime minister, saying that such a move is inappropriate and unconstitutional. he said his elder sister should not be allowed to run for office because it was against tradition, even if she'd given up her official royal title. lung cancer screening trucks will be appearing in supermarket carparks, under a new scheme across england. hundreds of thousands of people are to be tested in the next four years, as part of an nhs drive

to catch the disease early, and improve survival rates. the £70 million initiative will target areas with the highest lung cancer death rates. here's our health editor, hugh pym. maria's arriving for what they're calling an mot for her lungs and it's in the car park near some local shops. i'm going to get you to take a big breath in, in a moment. pop the tube in your mouth and then blow as hard and as fast as you can into it. keep going, keep going. there we go, that's it. i prefer this than the hospital. i don't like the whole hospital thing — i don't like going into hospital. it was easy enough to come here. i mean, i normally come shopping around here, so it's nice tojust come in here. if you've had your lung health check here and there is a potential area of concern, you don't have to wait very long or even go very far. in fact, you can go straight over here and have a scan.

sophisticated equipment usually in a hospital — in this case, accessible in a retail park. once inside, the scan takes place. the results and analysis come a few weeks later. 55— to 7a—year—olds at risk of lung cancer, including smokers, are invited to come along for a screening. the early pilot schemes that we ran showed that the detection of the earliest stage of lung cancer rose from about two in ten people up to about seven in ten. early detection means earlier and better treatment and ultimately leads to better survival and fewer deaths. the new investment in early detection of lung cancer has been welcomed, though some are arguing a lot more needs to be done to improve cancer care and survival rates. it's important because it's notjust about screening for lung cancer, it's all the other respiratory diseases that you might find. however, we have to have the right staff and the right services to be able to give patients what they need

for better outcomes. the scheme will cover areas of england with most patients at risk. it'll be the first lung health check programme of its kind in the uk. now on bbc news, it's time for the travel show. this week, on the show: i am in france to explore new ways of saving notre dame for generations to come. the riskier is the structural risk of the building itself. nt news we sit keath are —— could see their cathedral come down if we do nothing. mike is in mexico as the monarch butterflies start their migration north. we are about 3000

metres above sea level, the areas in and we are cold but we are beginning see butterflies. we have tips on how to travel and stay together if you area to travel and stay together if you are a couple. do you ever tire of each other‘s company? are a couple. do you ever tire of each other's company? yes. all the time. and we meet the grandmothers bringing a taste of their faraway home to native new yorkers. we are starting off this week in the french capital, and a masterpiece of gothic architecture like, lying in the heart of paris. notre dame cathedral is the city's most visited monuments. 13 million people walk through its gigantic doors every year. that is twice as many as head to the eiffel tower. the cathedral was damaged during the french revolution, and many of its figures we re revolution, and many of its figures were defaced. there are sections that still remain from before the revolution. they have been reconstructed since, like the last judgement here, right on the facade of the cathedral. although

successive of the cathedral. although su ccess ive waves of the cathedral. although successive waves of restoration have maintained the cathedral‘s main features, some of which date acted 12 century, maintaining the building is an ongoing challenge. pollution, acid rain and age and our eating up not only its fine details, but also this building's actual structure. and it is particularly striking when you go behind the scenes here. a pie at the back of the cathedral, a place that tourists do not usually get to see. notre dame looks so imposing from the street, towering down, this huge structure. when you get up close, it is amazing to see how much the old girl needs a helping hand. help is what michelle is trying to provide. his charity, friends of notre dame, has launched an appeal that asks private donors to help pay for some of the most needed and urgent repairs. --

michel. you can see here we have some parts of pinnacles, which were falling, so we removed and stored them here. if we don't want the cathedral to collapse, we have to rebuild, or the buttresses and the pinnacles need to be replaced as well. but repairing and preserving mediaeval architecture does not come cheap. the french state actually owns the building, and spends up to 4 million euros each year on the cathedral. but that is not enough, and a lot more money is needed. it is estimated that it will cost at least 150 million euros to carry out all of the essential structural work here, and it is a race against time. so how urgent are these repairs? they are very urgent. actually the risk here is a structural risk on the walls of the cathedral and the building itself. within ten years we could have the cathedral completely

down if we were to do nothing. that's incredible. although it is hoped that private funds might help to save notre dame, the country is full of other beautiful historic buildings that also need help. so the french government is trying out a new way to help save at risk churches, castles and chateaux is. and it starts with a trip to the local newsagent. 12 million of these special heritage scratchcards are on sale across france. you can win big money and save monuments in one go. at 15 euros this is not cheap, but 10% of the money from this will go to conservation projects. in total almost 270 historical sites, from ancient monuments to churches and castles will hopefully benefit from the 60 million euros raised so far. -- 16 the 60 million euros raised so far. —— 16 million. art, it is nothing.

at least is a good cause. but the internet has also opened up new opportunities for saving france's heritage. i am opportunities for saving france's heritage. iam heading opportunities for saving france's heritage. i am heading out about three hours from paris, to check out an experiment or conservation project powered by people. this romantic castle is from the 13th century, surrounded by water. it has lain in ruins the decades and has been reconquered by nature. but a crowdfunding start—up mightjust change its fateful good. you can see how nature has just taken over with huge trees coming out the window, is a cross huge trees coming out the window, is a cross between a classic french chateaux and something out of the

fairytale. when we came here it was crazy. when we came here we cleared it to crazy. when we came here we cleared ittoa crazy. when we came here we cleared it to a loud people to see the castle. last year to save this crumbling castle, romanced start—up imagined a new concept. the 50 euros each people from around the world could join forces online and buy it collectively. last. you feel like time has stopped. just watch the roots, they are very fragile just like the rest of the castle. roots, they are very fragile just like the rest of the castlelj roots, they are very fragile just like the rest of the castle. i will be very gentle with the trees, i promise. at the dream of owning part of french history agreed to many. -- appealed to many. and the crowdfunding operation was a huge success. we managed to be the biggest co—operative in the world with people from 125 countries to renew the castle. now we have many

owners, the biggest step is to secure the castle and have it not damaged more than it is now, and to have a sustainable economic modern site with a restaurant, maybe a hotel, and to have people come here and help us with the restoration project, being a choice. will this state and ruin or will you restore it back to its former glory? basically it will say a ruined at a more beautiful ruin and it is now. we don't want to take away this nature, we need to keep this magic with the trees, with the birds, with everything that you can see all around us, that has made people so amazed by the castle. thanks to a dedicated community of co—owners and volunteers, the castle will be open to the public next summer. and since we met, romanced start—up has launched another crowdfunding campaign and bought a second castle in the region. could this new model of collect ownership be part of the

solution and help to save thousands of historic buildings across france? it would be nice to think so. now we are off to mexico, where a truly remarked —— remarkable migration is getting ready to take place. next one, millions of monarch butterflies will start their long flight butterflies will start their long flight north as they repaired to spend this bring in some months over the border in the us and canada. but climate change is having a real effect on butterfly numbers and some people fear that within 20 years they could be extinct. a while back, mike headed to mexico to see these amazing monarchs close—up. you would not know it to look at, that these hills arejust a not know it to look at, that these hills are just a couple of hours' drive from mexico city, one of the

world's biggest conurbations. this is the transatlantic volcanic help, but we have not come to see volcanoes. —— belt. iam almost but we have not come to see volcanoes. —— belt. i am almost to the summit of bald peak and i am quite out of breath. we are about 3000 metres above sea level. the error is thin and it is cold but we are beginning to see monarch butterflies. every winter millions of butterflies fly for around two months from canada and the us, to a few patches of high altitude forest here in mexico. most are located in the state of michuacan, but most are in mexico state. here is where you can truly be alone with these creatures. we are not normally

allowed to get this close, but from this distance i had it can see. there are millions of monarchs clustered in black lumps on his third trees. what i find amazing about this insect is they travel 4000 kilometres from canada, the united states, down to this particular forest. it is the longest migration undertaken by any insect. scientists only recently discovered they use the sun to navigate to the same few reserves every year with a rest, eat and find a mate. in recent years the populations have dwindled thanks to the destruction of habitat in the us and canada, and deforestation here in mexico. 0ne and canada, and deforestation here in mexico. one study says numbers have gone down by 84% in the last 20 yea rs. have gone down by 84% in the last 20 years. the fear is this. one more bad winter, and the entire colony could be gone. mike reporting from

mexico, and good luck to all of those monarchs as they begin their long flight north next month. coming up, we have got news of a tribute to an 80s soft rock classic at a secret location in trending travel. and we had to new york to make the grandmothers bringing a taste of home cooking to staten island. when i opened this place, it was about trying to recreate that part of my life that i lost. when the grandmothers were in the kitchen and they were cooking, it was very comforting, and that is what it was about to me. troubleshoot all your essential guide wherever you are heading. it is now time the trend in

state in ireland. many people take the ferry across from manhattan just to get a view of the statue of liberty. there is another reason to make the trip. a restaurant staffed not by trained chefs, by a team of grandma ‘s serving a traditional dishes from all over the world. we have been to meet them. the concept behind the restaurant is simple and what it is about grandmothers. i was born in brooklyn and my grandmother was from the scene, cicely, my mother worked so i was raised by my grandmother, she was the sweetest kindest woman. in the world. and the best cook. this is spinach pie. i

cooked spinach with onion and put in feta cheese. i'm from greece. i came here because my husband is here. i have now 49 years. when i opened this place, it was about trying to recreate that part of my life but i lost, when the

grandmothers were in the kitchen and they were cooking, it was very comforting, and that is what it was about for me. i'm glad to have this opportunity to work here. it is such a brilliant idea that he had to have this grandmother service. the we can all share our speciality is passed along from the other generation. 2016, i lost my husband. i am cry, i am stay home, the daughter maria she said to me" mum, let's go to a re sta u ra nt said to me" mum, let's go to a restaurant and it has all ladies, old ladies, look over there. you come with me." i said ok.

iam i am ready to drain these out. the what i'm going to do, i will do it. isaid time i said time to start this restau ra nt, i said time to start this restaurant, nobody knows me. now everybody loves me, i have a lot of people, 2000 people, and the facebook, instagram, iam people, 2000 people, and the facebook, instagram, i am very

happy, bambridge, ilove facebook, instagram, i am very happy, bambridge, i love everybody. ——iam happy, bambridge, i love everybody. —— i am great. thank you so much. you are welcome. so, one of the things about concept is that kind of introduces people to different cultures. and it really pulls back the veil of ignorance and you really, when you are sitting down and you are eating the food that a woman from a culture that you have no idea anything about it and fewer meeting that woman, it really ta kes you fewer meeting that woman, it really takes you across the border without you even knowing it and i think that music will do that and art will do that and food does that as well. but

is it this week but coming out next week, we are in rock are exploring marrakesh and finding out why it is making a big name for it self on the international art scene. and let just say things get a little out of hand. i am getting accustomed to this and this is how he will have to treat me all the time of the travel show. don't forget we are all over social media and you can follow our feeds by clicking through from: until next time, from me christa larwood and until next time, from me christa la rwood and the until next time, from me christa larwood and the rest of the travel show team here in paris, it is goodbye. hello there. storm erik still not done with us yet. there is more wind to come. in fact, it looks like we could see some very gusty conditions through the early part of this morning.

storm erik passes to the north of the uk with a swathe of 60—70mph gusts likely for northern ireland, southern scotland and northern england first thing on saturday. gradually, those winds will turn light into this afternoon. this swathe of potentially damaging and disruptive winds will affect the northern half of the country for a while this morning. some heavy rain and snow on the tops of the pennines and the scottish hills. further south, some blustery showers. we will start the day with temperatures of around 6—8 degrees. a windy start this morning, further heavy pulses of rain, but eventually the rain becomes confined to the north—east of scotland and the northern isles as storm erik continues to pull away into the north sea. further south, there will be plenty of sunshine. a few showers across western areas. a good deal of dry weather across eastern areas. it will be a gusty day, those winds gradually easing down into the afternoon. temperature—wise, england and wales are seeing double figures again —10—11 celsius. closer to 7—9 across scotland

and northern ireland. something a little bit fresher there. there could be some disruption from the winds through today, particularly early on. keep tuned in to the latest weather forecasts and bbc local radio for the latest updates. storm erik pushes off in towards scandinavia. we look to the south. this next feature could bring a spell of very wet weather to southern parts of the country on saturday night. maybe on sunday, some strong winds, but the strongest winds will be across the channel into the near continent. we could see some snow over the higher ground of wales for a while but slowly, this rain will ease away. through sunday, it could hang back to east anglia and the south—east. colder air will be pouring south—eastwards behind it. these showers across northern areas will be turning increasingly wintry as temperatures back into single figures for all of us. we will have a showery burst of rain through saturday into sunday night and then we see a ridge of high pressure building in which will settle things down, but it will feel cold as we start monday off on a cold note. a little bit of frost around. but we have this ridge of high pressure which should see a good

deal of dry weather. winds lighter than we have had for the past few days. temperatures 5—9 degrees, so it will feel a little chilly to how it has felt at the start of the weekend. high pressure building in next week, temperatures will come down considerably, with dry weather and the return of chilly nights. good morning. welcome to breakfast with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. 0ur headlines today: new allegations of sexual and racial harassment by former employees of the retail tycoon, sir philip green are published in the telegraph. he denies any crime or misconduct. a controversial contract to prevent delays to sea cargo in case of a no—deal brexit is scrapped — seaborne freight had no ships and had never run a ferry service. counting the cost of knife crime — the number of young victims admitted to hospitals in england has risen by more than 50% in the past five years. it's a big six nations weekend. scotland are top of the table at the moment, but can they stay there?

ireland are heading to murrayfield this afternoon.
