around hollywood, its movie has told a court of the worst legacy is increasingly moment of his life being recognised and preserved. as he travelled to hospital with one of his girls, while leaving her sister to be at the warner bros studio tour hollywood, treated on the pitch. trevor hicks was giving evidence guides take you to the actual place at the trial of where so many movies, match police commander, david duckenfield. from casablanca to he denies causing the deaths of 95 people. la la land have been made. judith moritz reports. as people were being carried out of the pens at hillsborough, the lot has been here this photo captured since the mid 19205, it has been home to one father's plight. some of the most classic films, trevor hicks was standing but also contemporary films. in the corner of the ground. his teenage daughters were out of his reach, and he sensed something so ridley scott's science—fiction was badly wrong. epic blade runner, trevor was next to this is futuristic dystopian los angeles. the police control box. this was blade runner? he shouted up to right here. this street. the gantry for help. yeah, so it's any time period, it's any location, today, he told the jury that one it's all about set decoration. officer didn't respond. you keep redressing the sets, over and over again, another swore at him and it is whatever you want and told him to shut up. it to be. mr hicks told the court it was clear there were problems, and he could smell fear. movies have become one he knew his teenage daughters, of the dominant entertainment forms of our age. but it wasn't that long ago, victoria and sarah, in the 19205, that people like the four warner brothers were deciding to invest were at the front, in the new technology

and could see substantial crushing in the area where they were. of the time, known as talkies. he went onto the pitch and found the girls lying almost side by side. hollywood's golden age up until the late 1940s, trevor hicks told the jury... followed by countless blockbusters and international movie stars help put historic movie landmarks like this on the tourist map. the hickses had gone to the game as a family of four. fast forward to the 21st century, and in hollywood, trevor and his wife, jenni, almost anything is possible. went home that night as a bereaved couple. thejury also heard emotional words from another father whose family can i be honest for a second? was devastated by hillsborough. i don't know what's real or fake here. barry devonside had taken his son, that is totally fair. 18—year—old christopher, so fire hydrant? to the match. real orfake? it depends — that one's real, but sometimes they are fake. very clear answer. father and son were allocated 0k, are the trees real? tickets in separate parts of the ground. the trees are real. christopher was standing the leaves come and go. with his friends on the terraces. his dad, barry, this blows my mind. was sitting elsewhere. so yes, the trees are real, today, mr devonside told but in la we don't get true winters, the jury that he saw someone we don't get snow and very rarely get rain. being resuscitated but we do a lot of movies on the pitch and said, and tv shows that take what the bloody hell's going on? place on the east coast, a man next to him had where you get snowy winters. a transistor radio and told him, we have a greens department, there's two dead. and they take care of all barry devonside cried as he said...

the greenery on the lot, and they will go up and pluck all the leaves off of the trees and spray it down with flocking, like what you would cover a christmas tree in, to make it look like a real winter. but then say the next production coming in, they are filming springtime former chief superintendent 01’ summer scenes, the greens david duckenfield denies department will go back gross negligence manslaughter. in with branches of dead leaves, the trial continues. judith moritz, bbc news, preston. spraypaint them the appropriate colour and add those into the tree, until the real life comes back. now it's time for the travel show. it's all about maintaining this week on the travel show: the illusion. but head across town and building i'll be checking out work is well under way how film fans here can get closer for a new museum set to open later this year from the team to the movies they love. behind the oscars — the academy. simon's back with tips for luxury trains on a budget and crossing paraguay by bus. and japan in 90 minutes, it's carmen against the clock on the country's southern island. as the building takes shape, they have been busy gathering objects for exhibits to tell the story of the art and also the science of the movies. from old cinerama cameras to ruby

slippers and shirley temple's shoes. so this is definitely a head from alien, but i see a strap underneath too? that's right — so this is a headpiece that would have been worn by, we think the stunt person from the film, the design came from hr giger, the swiss surrealist artist. what's interesting actually is the actors in the film kept asking to see what the alien would look like, and he wouldn't show them. so the reaction that you see on film is their real reaction to seeing him for the first time. well, it's terrifying. it is a little terrifying. all these objects are very cool, but what's the value in keeping it to show people? i think it's really important. cinema is the greatest art form of the 20th century, leading into the 21st century. filmmakers always talk about how they stand on the shoulders of those that came before, so it is important to us that we are looking at the full continuum of moviemaking. from its very beginnings to today, a lot of filmmakers now talk about how they are using the same magic just with different tools.

that sense of history is important to filmmakers and is important to us, and we want to share that with the public. so basically this is the 19th century moving picture entertainment industry. so the mutoscopes came in, and they would go into arcades around the country. the way this works is a little akin to a flip book. so there are about 850 photographs in here that work in a rotary system, you hand crank the film, and inside you would see the motion picture move. and it is working right now? you're welcome to try it. "mutoscope pictures presents a wild west adventure." put a dime in? put a dime in the slot. but it is free? for you, it is free. thank you so much. here we go, i am ready for the adventure.

while there are other types of film museum in los angeles, the academy museum of motion pictures is the first here on this scale, taking a global look at the history of the medium. 0riginally suggested 90 years ago and in development for eight years, at a projected cost of close to $400 million, the museum has had support from the likes of steven spielberg and tom hanks. film is made up of all kinds of other art forms. and so i think to understand it, you have to approach it in many different ways. so we have theatres where films can be seen in their original format, as they were meant to be seen. we have exhibition spaces on three different floors, and project spaces for new work that actually takes cinema into the future. so the whole thing just flows together. covering six storeys

and 300,000 square feet, the building's focal point will be a striking rooftop terrace. the building is still under construction, but the view — definitely ready to go. amazing, we are at the top now, on the dolby terrace, and we are looking out over hollywood. in 1929, when douglas fairbanks and mary pickford were just starting the academy, they said it's already time for us to start thinking about a film museum. and here we are 90 years later, it took a while but here we are at the top, looking over the hollywood that they saw. it is opening night, the first guests walk in, they have their experience and they leave — what do you hope they say to each other? the first is, i hope they understand and talk about film history. i feel like it is disappearing a little from our memory. and now is the time to really save it, to save the legacy of film forfuture generations. and maybe one of them that is here will be inspired

to become a filmmaker of the future themselves. and if you're planning to come to los angeles, here is our list of things we think you should see and do. if you want something to get your pulse racing, universal studios hollywood has a movie—based theme park covering some of hollywood's biggest blockbusters. and for fans ofjurassic world, a new ride for the movie will be coming later this year. but don't forget, los angeles sits right on the coast. venice beach and santa monica pier are free to explore and a great way to experience california's more laid—back lifestyle. and finally, if you want to get away from the la buzz and see some stars of a different

kind, griffith 0bservatory claims to be southern california's gateway to the cosmos. either day or night, the views over la are well worth a walk up the hill, but get there early because it fills up very quick. still to come on the travel show: simon is back with your e—mails. this week, cutting the cost of luxury trains and seeing south america by bus. i'm looking for the smell museum. plus, it is carmen versus kumamoto. can she see the city's three highlights in less than 90 minutes? 0k, level four, smelly socks. ew! so stick with us for that.

this week, i have advice on a cut—price great rail journey through canada. and the best day trips from dubrovnik. first, though, the railway line between the two biggest cities in greece has been transformed, with passengers between athens and thessaloniki set to experience faster, more comfortable journeys. until now, trains on this spectacular route have taken nearly six hours, but the journey should soon be two hours faster. brian 0'reilly is spending four days in the fine croatian city of dubrovnik. he asks... brian, to help you, i've called in some specialist advice. i think, for your particular interests, i would recommend visiting ston, on the peljesac peninsula.

it's about an hour's drive outside of dubrovnik, but it's also easily accessible by bus. the town is known for its seaside landscape, oysters and regional wines. the entire peninsula is known for having many hidden beaches but if you only have a day, i recommend checking out prapratno beach, less than 5km outside of ston. next, dinip bajaj from toronto in canada wants to take a great adventure in his home country. i too have been daunted by the prices of luxury tourist trains around the world but often you can find much cheaper, regular passenger trains which cover some of the same ground. i too have been daunted by the prices of luxury tourist trains around the world but often you can find much cheaper, regular passenger trains which cover some of the same ground. canada's flagship train, the canadian, runs from your home city of toronto to vancouver, and the final stretch from

jasper through british columbia duplicates part of the route of the rocky mountaineer. but i recommend a side trip on the skeena train betweenjasper and prince rupert on the pacific coast. this train, which charges regular rather than luxury fares, threads through some extraordinary scenery on a line once known as the grand trunk pacific. next, peter cooper is planning a visit to the heart of south america. lucky man! puerto iguazu is the town on argentina's side of the miraculous iguazu falls. to reach the paraguayan capital, asuncion, there's two possibilities. the first is to travel across to cuidad del este in paraguay. from here, you can board one of the frequent buses,

taking as little as five hours. but if you have time to spare, i recommend you follow the river valley south—west through argentina to the town of posadas, from which there's a bridge across to encarnacion in paraguay — another beautiful place to visit. from here, a bus along highway1 will take you to asuncion, and you'll have had a much more scenic and enlightening journey. finally, lucinda wright says... in this age of trying to reduce plastic, i have invested in a refillable drinking bottle. however, many of the european airports that i've visited recently don't seem to have any facility for refilling this once i'm through security. i also carry a refillable water bottle, and i've never had any problem getting it refilled at catering outlets at uk airports. at north american airports, too, there's never a problem because of the abundance of water fountains. the only time i have had problems is in some foreign airports where there's a general distaste for tap water, and the practice is not known.

but if you and i keep asking, maybe things will change. that's all for now, but keep sending me your travel problems and i'll do my best to bring you the answers. for the first time ever, the rugby world cup heads to asia this 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, though, will be worried about japan's reputation as a place that's tricky to get around if you don't speak the language. and it's a myth that i think is not always deserved. and to show you why, i'll be exploring six of the host cities against the clock. kumamoto lies in the middle ofjapan‘s southern island, kyushu. it's surrounded by a stunning landscape dotted with volcanoes and is popular with hikers in the summer months.

so i've got 90 minutes — the time it takes to play a game of rugby plus ten minutes for half—time — to see three of kumamoto‘s highlights. straight. and then... my friend ryuzo has been making a plan for me. so kumamoto is the third most populous city in kyushu, which is the southernmost island of japan. it is well—known for its castle in the city centre, which is beautiful. also the aso mountain on the east. and also, it suffered a great earthquake in 2016, and everything is being slowly rebuilt. so how easy is it to get around? actually, kumamoto doesn't have a subway system. really? yeah. instead, it has a good old—fashioned tram running around the city, so you're going to be getting on one of those for your challenges. kumamoto is not that big of a city — it's very easy to get around — so this might be the easiest challenge yet. so i've got 90 minutes on the clock, starting from now. look both ways. i'm starting out at the jewel in kumamoto‘s crown. ok, i have a man meeting me

here at kumamoto castle. konnichiwa! arigato. kumamoto castle was heavily damaged in the 2016 earthquake and is now closed to the public, but restoration is now under way, and they have plans to reopen parts of it by the time the world cup arrives this autumn. how bad was the damage from 2016? it's such a beautiful castle, you can see from this side, but i can't believe how much damage there was. as you can see from the other side, it's basically stripped back bare. this is one of the most famous castles injapan. it's such a beautiful castle, you can see from this side,

but i can't believe how much damage there was. as you can see from the other side, it's basically stripped back bare. this is one of the most famous castles injapan. it was built in the middle of the 15th century. its black, sloping walls were specifically designed to stop enemies from getting in. arigato gozaimasu. doitashimashite. down there. thanks. bye! kumamoto‘s speciality is the ikinari dango you can find served in the street. it's a steamed bun full of sweet potato and bean paste. so this is ikinari dango. yes. which one's the most popular? actually, the purple one is very popular for women.

ikinari dango itself is like a soul food for kumamoto people. and so when you miss home, you're going to miss ikinari dango as well. it's nice and warm and very sweet. but also very sticky. you are welcome! my pleasure, thank you! ok, i'm now heading for the tram. jeez. maybe it was over the bridge, yeah. 0h! wejust made it! so ryuzo said to get on the back. it's quite busy. arigato gozaimasu. i'm looking for the smell museum. so apparently, i got on at the wrong station, and now i got off at the wrong station because i was told it was only one stop! so let's get back on that tram! why didn't you tell me not to get off? oh, no, this is the... this is helpful — it's written in english here. arigato.

i'm a bit confused as to how i'm going to cross the road. i need to get over there. i think they're waiting for the green man. 0k. you can cross the tram lines! i think it's in the basement. let me see what this sign says. disaster control centre. i think this is it. look, there's a sign with big noses. arigato gozaimasu. 0k. next, a treat for your nose. you can find the museum of smell in a basement in a kumamoto department store. there are dozens of different aromas to try out, ranging from the really quite lovely to the deeply unpleasant. 0k, level four. smelly socks. 0h! ew!

something's really rank in here. i guess i should be worried because this one's in a metal canister. 0h! ugh. various faeces and bacteria smell of nature. hmm. you can even test your own smell with this little machine here. so 0—39 is very good. 40—199 is you're a bit on the nose. 290 is the benchmark for you smell like a public toilet. ok, i think i'm 90 today. i don't quite need to do my laundryjust yet, but it's getting dangerously close. stupid machine! and we're done! one hour and 15 minutes. bags of time to spare! i'm getting good at this!

well, that's all for this week, but coming up next week... christa scores points in riga as she delves into latvia's soviet past. so make sure not to miss it. remember, you canjoin our adventures by following us on social media. but for now, from me, mike corey, and the rest of the travel show team here in beautiful california, it's goodbye. hello there. on monday, the temperature reached 20.6 celsius in western

parts of wales. and today, the temperatures are going to be very similar. basically, the record warmth is going to continue for one more day. and it's all due to this static weather pattern. it's been unusually warm for quite some time, this blocking weather pattern, there's the undulations in the jet stream. there's always winners and losers, of course. and on the warm side of the jet, it was 20 degrees on monday in london. 0n the cold side of the jet, for example, in athens, it was only 7. the average temperatures at this time of the year in london is 10 degrees. the average temperature in athens is 15. and as you can see, over the week ahead, things are going to get a little bit back to normal, if you like. it's going to turn cooler in london and warmer in athens as the jet stream changes. we will look at that in a moment. while it is warm in sunshine in the day, it's cold at night and into rural parts

across the south, temperatures could be down to —3 once again. some mist and fog patches in the valleys to lift in the morning. plenty of sunshine on the way again on tuesday. away from the far north of scotland, where we have a band of cloud. it will feel warm and the sunshine and 19, 20 with western parts of wales and around the london area too. we've still got our blocking area of high pressure close to our shores, that's feeding warmer air around that towards the uk. pushing down colder airfor eastern europe and into the eastern med. wednesday we start to see some changes, more mist and fog around the southern parts of england and wales slowly lifting. a lot more low cloud coming into the south—west approaches through the irish sea into northern ireland in western scotland. sunshine elsewhere, well above average. not as warm as they have been. on thursday, the changes are more significant. because we've got a lot more cloud around on thursday. some weather systems to bring some showery rain. perhaps getting as far north as north—west england or northern ireland.

even some bursts of rain in the south—east. brightening up in the south—west later but on the whole, much more cloud in temperatures will be quite a bit lower as well. we saw the position of the jet stream earlier on. this is how it looks toward the end of the week. a much strongerjet coming across the atlantic. more of a westerly influence. we're losing the warmer air that's coming in from the south, so temperatures are lower, 11 or 12 degrees. more cloud, a bit of sunshine at times, but likely to see some rain coming in from the west.
