we are kicking off this week here in dubai, a place thatjust all tonnes of food, water, clothing, all manner of supplies that they need, over a0 years ago was and now a new emergency, an outbreak a sleepy trading town, but now is one of the most popular tourist destinations in the world — of cholera confirmed in one town, it up there with london, is going to be very difficult for paris and bangkok. the people who have survived the home to the world's tallest skyscrapers, biggest shopping malls cyclone, the devastating impact of that cyclone, i'm now having to deal and insane hotel suites, with an outbreak of disease. it has built its image on luxury, excess and world records. but i'm here to find out if the new trend in town two cyclones hu rtle could surprisingly two cyclones hurtle towards the western coast of australia. thousands of homes have been be sustainability. emasculated. i reckon veronica has strengthened and is now a category three storm. the mosque in new this is sustainable city. it is only 20 minutes away zealand has reopened after the from the heart of dubai where you'll find all those massive skyscrapers, shooting which occurred there. and over 500 families live here. thousands of people marched through and it is fast becoming a tourist christchurch last night in support attraction in its own right. of those affected. our correspondent hello, hadeel! hello, welcome to the city. earlier gave us this update from thank you, how are you? christchurch. eight days ago the i'm good.

are you ready for a tour? mosque was the scene of mass murder, yes please. let's go. i like that. woo! 42 of the 50 victims died at this the whole city was built mosque and today the police handed to cover all environmental, economic and social sustainability. it back to the muslim community. it so it's designed to use will remain the epicentre for the clean energy from solar panels, and recycle 100% of water community's grief but there is a and waste, to encourage the use sense that this is a very symbolic of electric buggies step forward, across the road at and electric shuttles. i was going to say, i don't see hagley park here in christchurch many cars or buses here. 5000 people marched in what is known yes. so the residential cluster was as the march for love. this event designed to encourage walkability. it is a no car zone, it is designed with narrow streets to encourage people to walk organised by 316—year—old high and use their bikes school students. another powerful inside the community. and they have the electric buggies act of solidarity eight days after the attack. further north than usual which you see on the side. in's biggest city, auckland, the look at this place! prime minister has addressed the country's biggest mosque and has this is a three bedroom villa. brushed aside global praise of her this is something i am intrigued about. you have got a flatscreen tv, compassionate and decisive you have lights, i can see power leadership during this tragedy here, points everywhere, even, is that air—conditioning? saying that she simply is echoing the humanity of all new zealanders. yes, of course.

how does it all run? so like any other household you find golden eagles in scotland have been all these appliances, but the rooftop is covered fitted with new tracking technology in solar, which produces 60% of the energy requirement for after six bridge disappeared in suspicious circumstances in the space of the year. the tank which the villa, and we use led lighting. has been trialled in the cairngorms so is that less power? national park sent a distress signal it is less power, using less if the eagle starts behaving power than what you usually would with unusually. scottish natural heritage says it hopes the initiative will an ordinary villa. tackle wildlife crime. as well as in the appliances in the kitchen are all environmentally friendly. we try to reduce the need better understanding where eagles for energy and when you do use are spending time we hope to shed energy it is clean energy coming more light on what happens to them directly from the solar panels if there is any persecutions and on the rooftop. welcomed the eagles are doing well in scotland we know they are still persecuted and that is something we hope this technology will help stamp the vibe here is all about smart out. lets take a look at the weather design and building a sustainable community. prospects. you bring tidings of there are classrooms on site to cut down on the daily school run, comfort and joy. i do if you want and there is a pet—friendly atmosphere. some dry acquired where through the although the houses aren't cheap, the owners make savings on things weekend. a little bit of nuisance like electricity and water. cloud around at the moment, going try that... down through the m4 corridor were that was really cool! laughs.

some of that is thickening with a spotter to have drizzle but behind when i was told i was coming to dubai, the last thing i expected it quite a clearance with some lovely spells of sunshine coming to be doing is pushing around a sustainable greenhouse full through. some showers and a nuisance of home grown veg. gale force gust of wind for a time across the north but that will ease it feels like i'm in a jungle here — through the morning and generally speaking that is where the best of it smells lovely! the sunshine is likely to be across back in 2006, scotland, northern ireland and the world wildlife fund said that people living northern england despite some isolated showers. the showers will in the united arab emirates had become more widespread through this the biggest ecological evening and overnight and become quite a feature for tomorrow. footprint in the world. further south we keep some cloud but sandwiched in between the two are clear skies with temperatures into but with more and more of us low single figures with a touch of thinking about the environment frost first thing. as we go through when we choose our holiday destinations, dubai has set a target of getting the day england and will stay dry and sunny after the chilly start in 75% of its energy from clean rain will its way steadily south and renewable sources by 2050. and i'm off to visit across the borders into the of a hotel that claims that sustainability makes england. some of the showers turning good business sense too. now all the best hotels in the world really pride windy and they warranty out there of themselves on their breakfast. 7-14d the windy and they warranty out there of 7—14d the overall high. so let's see what this place has got to offer. hello this is bbc news. the headlines: i tell you what, i am starving. american—backed kurdish forces

claim they have captured islamic state's last remaining looking forward to some proper breakfast, posh nosh. one of the things stronghold in eastern syria. people like about big luxury hotels like this is that theresa may writes a letter you can pretty much order whatever to mps — warning a third meaningful you want, whenever you want. vote won't take place next week without ‘sufficient support‘ for her brexit deal. "mortadella foccacia." my italian is terrible. us special counsel, robert mueller submits his report laughs. into alleged russian collusion with president trump's campaign during the 2016 but having so much choice available inevitably can lead presidential election. to a lot of food waste. a 17—year—old is stabbed to death following a fight outside and that is something that this hotel is tackling. a block of flats in west london. here at the buffet for example, they display smaller platters of food and only replace the al noor mosque them once they are eaten. in christchurch reopens one week on from a mass shooting, but it is back of house that the real serious work is going on to cut down on food waste. which killed 42 people there. can you tell me how this system works? of course, let me show you. now on bbc news here we have trimmings, trimmings are what is left over the travel show are in dubai, from the chef when he is a place which has set ambitious targets for a more preparing the dishes. sustainable future — they are still very much food waste we meet the people working in the travel industry hoping and we want to identify and categorise these in order to be to help make that happen. able to plan better with our menus. coming up this week let's give it a try. on the travel show: we will throw it into the bin. i am in dubai the system now is showing us to find out how they are trying hard to make holidays that the weight has been added

more sustainable here. so that goes back into the land, to the scales, we will categorise it back into the system now, we say yes, and then to help create food? it is going to come correct, one big cycle. up with trimmings... and i will identify trimmings, sustainability in a bag, i like it. and it is as simple as that. and the weight is coming up there... plus i meet the turtles who have yeah. become temporary residents at an iconic seven star hotel. what we're going to do is we're actually the food that's and then there is a serious drop on the guest plates into the trough, in temperature as we travel to russia to meet it will wash down into the machine the man who hasjust itself, the composting completed his own incredible machine, like that. there we go. journey across siberia. this is now segregating the siberian people who live there, it to allow us to they would say "karolis, actually take out anything you will lose your face that is soluble, and then the food will then go through to the next stage which on the first day." is composting. ah, that's better. we can hear each other now. as the machine takes away all the solubles, it will go off to the composting room, all the food that has been left over goes off to the composting room, the composting room then takes all of the final solubles out of the food and dries it, and this is the end product, this is what you end up with. this is what it turns into. it is so heavy, how

much food is this? this is a day's room service. a whole day's worth of room service waste is squeezed into a bag like this. it is amazing isn't it, this will go on to be used as farming compost, back into the land. this goes back into the system to help create food. that's right, one big cycle. sustainability in a bag, i like it. so far through smart monitoring of its menu and waste, this hotel reckons it is preventing the equivalent of around 120,000 meals being simply thrown away every year. but it's notjust food that's being looked at in more sustainable ways in dubai. it is estimated that each year over 150 million empty glass bottles are discarded here, with a lot of them coming from hotels and restaurants. but now there is a move to do something else with them. anjali srinivasan is

an award—winning glass blower. and her studio here in dubai has joined forces with a local waste management company to put lots of that unwanted glass to good use. so you don't call this recycled glass anymore, you call it upcycled — why? we try to take the glass in the bottle in its originalform, and try to make it something having a lot more value, and that is what makes it different from recycling. hence "upcycling." but it is all sustainable? it is absolutely, so what happens is if we had not made a candle stand out of this bottle it would have probably ended up in the landfill, and it takes a million years for a glass bottle... a million years? absolutely, for a glass bottle to decompose in a natural environment. one of the things i notice here in dubai is everything is bling, everything is flash, it is all about new. and old and second—hand doesn't seem to

me to be something that people here in dubai are into. the reason you see a lot of things here which are new and bling is because it's a young country, a lot of the things and structures that you see here have probably come up only in the past few years. but having said that, the uae and dubai have set themselves a target of 75% of recycling and waste diversion by 2021. wow, 75%. where are they at at the moment in terms of recycling, or upcycling? we are about 25—30%. we are talking about doubling? absolutely. and initiatives like this are a step in the right direction. while there are some who say that the very idea of building a city in the desert is pretty unsustainable in itself, dubai has never been a place that has been short on ambition, and it has set some impressive targets in terms of clean energy and waste.

oh, look at this. ifeel a little bit nervous. and with more and more of us looking for that eco—friendly element to our holidays, we will be keen to know if they manage to reach them. yeah, look at that! laughs. i'm making glass cups! coming up, there is more from us here in dubai, as i am off to see the turtles who have checked in at one of the world's most iconic hotels. so stay with us for that. for this month's incrediblejourney, we meet a man who motorcycled 1000 kilometres through subzero temperatures, to oymyakon, which claims to be the coldest town on earth. in siberia it can get to —60 celsius. when you receive frostbite it takes

may 2—3 minutes to lose your skin in that area. and literally my nose is one centimetre from all that cold, so it was really, really something that i was very afraid of. the project took maybe 1.5 years. preparation took different stages, one is technical, one is physical, another is mental. i live in a wonderful town, druskininkai, which is my hometown, and i was preparing my body through different temperature exercises. we have cold rivers, so i go and jump into water, normally i don't swim, ijust put my body in and head especially. between yakutsk and oymyakon

is 100 kilometres. so i travel 200 kilometres per day. so remote, nothing around, just mountains, forest, tiger and cold. it is a permafrost land. when i started on the first day, yakutian siberian people who live there say please, don't do that. you will lose your face on the first day, frostbite will eat you. even though i had a helmet and you know, some protection, motorcycling in winter on the road of bones does not promise a safe ride. normally i travel alone. in this situation i had two vehicles with me, one was for my support team and another one served as garage. i didn't want to have coffee in the middle of the day, i was travelling for hours alone. what is happening inside my

head, i call it active meditation. riding in such harsh conditions, so cold, i have to be only now and here, because if i get a chance to myself to think 0k, there will be warmer, i am hungry, i will get food and so on, then it becomes so cold that itis impossible to ride. i have to accept all this cold, completely relaxed, otherwise it doesn't work. on the third day of my ride, i really had a feeling of, oh, i am home. there is no hotel at night, i received a simple tent with a little stove inside. that night was 48 degrees below, and inside the tent we measured —13. (bleep) cold, you know! inside the tent you want to relax, but we said, ok guys,

let's get out and see the night. most of us said, i have never seen sky like this. actually feeling like you are in space somewhere. the last 30 kilometres, it was so mentally tough for me. in one moment i opened the throttle more, you know, 100—120 kilometres per hour, the steering started to freeze. so it means i see i cannot move it. i started to look for the straight lines, not to use it too much. and then i arrived and i saw the sign. oymya kon, you know. no thoughts. emptiness. ok, i'm here. when it's —55, the town it looks pretty empty. and then maybe one hour later, ah, it's done. the last thing left

is to have a swim in the river. to finish this week, i'm back in dubai to check out an iconic seven star hotel, where you'll find some unexpected guests checked in. ha! wow! this place is so grand. it's like gold everywhere. i've never seen a lobby like it. now, most people normally use this lift to go up, but i'm going to go down to the basement.

the burj al arab is the hotel which, almost 20 years ago, really put dubai on the map. but i've been told that behind—the—scenes they've got a groundbreaking wildlife conservation projects going on. time to investigate. you must be gerhard. iam. welcome. nice to meet you. it looks a bit different down here. it certainly is. do you want to follow me? yeah, yeah, ok. it is not quite as blingy, is it? what have we got here then, gerhard? so what you see here is a part of the dubai turtle rehabilitation programme. the programme was formed in 200a. and since inception we have released 1576 turtles back into the ocean. but to get them to that stage is a long and lengthy process and this is where they start. that sounds like an enormous amount of turtles that you have released. why are the turtles here? well, the turtles generally come to us they either because they're injured or because they are sick in some way. so the bulk of the turtles coming

to us are either from impact injuries, so they'll be turtles that were stuck behind a boat propeller, causing cracks to their carapace, cold stunning events, totals are reptiles, so especially the smaller ones, when they get too cold they get lethargic, strong winds and they get washed up on the shore. another reason is when they ingest plastic — that leads to infection. plastic is a huge problem. i just felt its flipper touch me. it's quite soft. i've been told that it's ok to handle the turtles so long as you're really soft and gentle. and itjust feels like an amazing privilege. it's so soft. and the shell is beautiful.

so generally when the turtles arrive they're dilapidated and often covered in barnacles, which is a sign that all is not well. in the wild, turtles often rest under ledgers and they sleep under ledges, they also use those ledges to scrape their shells clean, so when they're sick they don't do that. and then the barnacles start growing and proliferating and becoming quite heavy. so that's often the first sign. so the first we'll do is we'll put the turtles in fresh water and the fresh water will kill these external parasites and they will just fall off eventually. the total might be severely dehydrated. we will then rehydrate the turtle. we will give a course of antibiotics. and thenjust monitor the turtle for a few days. and then the next thing would be

to put the turtle back in the seawater to see how it floats. some of the turtles might have infections in their lungs and they will be positively buoyant, which is a problem for a turtle, because that turtle needs to feed, so in the wild they need to be able swim, dive down to the reef, if they can't do that they can't eat. many of the turtles are rescued following alerts from local people on social media and education plays a big part of the programme here at the hotel. so i'm off tojoin a group of local schoolkids who are here to meet some turtles that will soon be released back into the wild. we fix the satellite tracker to the turtle and release herfrom here. we named the turtle. what is the name of the turtle? little tiny! this is a tough crowd.

i have gloves on because it's time to feed the turtles. are you ready, guys? one, two, three, go! feed the turtles! oh, it's all gunky and smelly. it's just behind the rock. can you see it? yeah. yeah, it's call, isn't it? gerhard, this seems like a pretty cool place for a turtle to rehabilitate. what happens next from here? as you have said, it's a very nice place for them to spend the last few months of their rehabilitation. from here they'll get released back into the ocean. we found that the instincts kick in straightaway, once we put them on the beach in a box, and the boxes tilted over, they make a beeline for the water. they're off! they never forget that. they're like, see you later, seven star hotel. see you later! i'll see you again. yeah. hopefully won't see you again.

well, that's it for this week. join us next week when we follow the ellis family from america as they prepare to take their first ever flight with their two severely autistic twins, heading for the world's first—ever theme park for special needs kids in texas. crying. oh, oh, i'm so sorry! i'm so sorry! but will they make it there? i'm so relieved that that part is over. now let's just get to the gate. make sure you join us for that, if you can. but in the meantime, you can follow us in all the usual ways on social media. but for now, from me, ade adepitan, and all the travel show team, it's goodbye from dubai.

looks likely we are heading for quite a quiet weekend, that is grey news if you have outdoor plans but you will need a couple of extra layers because it is just going to be that little bit cooler than of late particularly at night but we will see some sunny spells. most of the showers this weekend are going to be into the far north and west. the reason for the change and emphasis for the story is that this weather front a sweeping southwards introducing cooler air, you can see tightly packed isoba rs introducing cooler air, you can see tightly packed isobars to the north thatis tightly packed isobars to the north that is where the strongest winds will be. claro clear its way south and east in the cloud will pick up the odd spot or two of drizzle but you can see it as well broken further north and we will have a scattering of showers into the far north. the winds gusting to gale

force for a time, using slowly as we go through the day in scotland. elsewhere we see some sunshine coming through, a dry story, perhaps the cloud is lingering into the four —— far south—west. not as warm as it has been, 9—13d the overall high. as we go through the overnight picture we go through the overnight picture we see the clouds thicken up for a future was across cornwall and devon, perhaps clearer skies elsewhere. and frequent showers continue and gathering strength into the far north—west by the end of the night. but sandwiched in between the two, well with those clear skies we can see some blue tones and that emphasises the temperatures are low enough for a touch of frost so low single figures, perhaps lower still in sheltered rural areas first thing on sunday morning. it will be a chilly start but again the emphasis is with this dry settled story. the only exception up into the far north—west, a line of more organised showers will continue to drop their way through scotland is turning increasingly wintry into higher ground. they will push their way across the borders and into the

north of england perhaps just friending with northern ireland for a time as well. elsewhere it is dry, settled, with some sunshine and highs of 90 degrees. although we have a few showers to content with across the north of england the main emphasis will continue with this dry settled theme with high pressure building across the country. a good deal of dry weather in the forecast. if we see any charity could be into the far north—west. if you have outdoor plans this is your week ahead, dry and settled, a little warmer in the south—east by friday.

this is bbc news, i'm shaun ley. the headlines at 11am... american—backed kurdish forces claim they have captured islamic state's last remaining stronghold in eastern syria. these are live pictures from northern syria where a news conference is due to be take place shortly. the countdown to brexit — theresa may warns mps a third meaningful vote may not take place next week if it doesn't get sufficient support. a 17—year—old is stabbed to death following a fight outside a block of flats in west london. us special counsel robert mueller submits his report into alleged russian collusion with president trump's campaign during the 2016 presidential election. the al—noor mosque in christchurch reopens one week on from a mass shooting, which killed 42 people there.
