it has been a tense qualifying thank you, how are you? what have we got here then, gerhard? i'm good. campaignfor are you ready for a tour? it has been a tense qualifying campaign for them, but cameroon are yes please. through to the finals of the africa let's go. i like that. woo! cup of nations after winning their so what you see here is a part of the dubai turtle rehabilitation programme. the programme was formed in 200a. the whole city was built to cover all environmental, and since inception we have released last qualify. cameroon were stripped economic and social sustainability. 1576 turtles back into the ocean. of their right to host this year's so it's designed to use clean energy from solar but to get them to that stage tournament. they weren't ready, panels, and recycle 100% of water is a long and lengthy process basically, so they have been and waste, to encourage the use replaced by egypt. they had to and this is where they start. of electric buggies qualify the hard way, and they have, that sounds like an enormous amount of turtles that you have released. why are the turtles here? and electric shuttles. just... that means they are through i was going to say, i don't see many cars or buses here. to their first ever africa cup of yes. so the residential cluster was well, the turtles generally come designed to encourage walkability. to us they either because they're it is a no car zone, injured or because they it is designed with narrow streets nations. guinea—bissau have that to are sick in some way. to encourage people to walk so the bulk of the turtles coming and use their bikes to us are either from impact inside the community. happen to draw with mozambique. a and they have the electric buggies injuries, so they'll be turtles that which you see on the side. were stuck behind a boat propeller, late goal means they go through and look at this place! causing cracks to their carapace, mozambique don't. and namibia, at this is a three bedroom villa. cold stunning events, totals are reptiles, so especially the smaller ones, when they get too cold they get the bottom of the screen, they go this is something lethargic, strong winds and they get through despite that defeat. they i am intrigued about. washed up on the shore. you have got a flatscreen tv, are the results from the africa cup you have lights, i can see power points everywhere, even, of nations. meanwhile, switzerland is that air—conditioning? yes, of course.

have won their opening match at euro how does it all run? so like any other household you find all these appliances, another reason is when but the rooftop is covered they ingest plastic — that leads to infection. in solar, which produces 60% of the energy requirement for 2020 qualifying, 2—0 they beat plastic is a huge problem. georgia. sweden beat rumania 2—0. the republic of ireland had to the villa, and we use led lighting. i just felt its flipper touch me. squeeze past gibraltar. and some it's quite soft. latest scores for you. spain beating so is that less power? i've been told that it's ok it is less power, using less to handle the turtles so long norway 2—1 at the moment. italy are power than what you usually would with as you're really soft and gentle. an ordinary villa. in the appliances in the kitchen and itjust feels like two goals up against finland. that are all environmentally friendly. an amazing privilege. we try to reduce the need is what is going on in europe right for energy and when you do use it's so soft. now. the netherlands captain, virgil energy it is clean energy coming and the shell is beautiful. van dijk, insists his aside our directly from the solar panels on the rooftop. favourites going into their euro 2020 qualify in germany in rotterdam, that is on sunday. the dutch have been doing very well lately. they have lostjust two of the vibe here is all about smart so generally when the turtles arrive their past 11 games since ronald design and building they're dilapidated and often a sustainable community. covered in barnacles, there are classrooms on site to cut which is a sign that koeman took over as boss. they have down on the daily school run, all is not well. already won their opening qualify and there is a pet—friendly atmosphere. against belarus. the van dijk are although the houses scored in that much, making it four aren't cheap, the owners make savings on things goals in his last six in the wild, turtles often rest internationals. germany, who they under ledgers and they sleep under like electricity and water. ledges, they also use those ledges face, onejust one in internationals. germany, who they to scrape their shells clean, face, one just one in the internationals. germany, who they face, onejust one in the past internationals. germany, who they face, one just one in the past seven

games. i think we stick together at so when they're sick they don't do that. try that... that was eally cool! and then the barnacles start laughs. growing and proliferating all times. we work hard for each when i was told i was coming and becoming quite heavy. other. and i think that's a very big to dubai, the last thing i expected to be doing is pushing around a sustainable greenhouse full of home grown veg. it feels like i'm in a jungle here — thing to have been eating. we want to give everything for each other. it smells lovely! back in 2006, the world wildlife fund we obviously have a lot of quality said that people living in the united arab emirates had throughout the team, fantastic the biggest ecological so that's often the first sign. players. we can defend together, we footprint in the world. so the first we'll do is we'll put but with more and more of us can attack together. and i think in thinking about the environment the turtles in fresh water and the fresh water will kill when we choose our these external parasites the end of the day it is all about and they will just fall off eventually. holiday destinations, the total might be results. we have a pretty good, you severely dehydrated. we will then rehydrate the turtle. dubai has set a target of getting we will give a course know, period where we play well and of antibiotics. 75% of its energy from clean and thenjust monitor the turtle for a few days. and renewable sources by 2050. and then the next thing would be get results and hopefully we can do to put the turtle back in the seawater that tomorrow as well. serena williams as to old out of the miami and i'm off to visit a hotel that claims to see how it floats. open. she had made it through to the that sustainability makes good business sense too. some of the turtles might have third round. she is unable to now all the best hotels continue because a left knee injury. in the world really pride infections in their lungs themselves on their breakfast. and they will be positively buoyant, it means she has now withdrawn from which is a problem for a turtle, because that turtle needs to feed, two consecutive wta events after her so in the wild they need to be able retirement from last week's swim, dive down to the reef, tournament in indian wells. that is if they can't do that they can't all this by finau. so let's see what this place has got to offer. eat. i tell you what, i am starving. looking forward to some proper —— that is all the sport for now. breakfast, posh nosh. one of the things people like about big

luxury hotels like this is that you can pretty much order whatever many of the turtles are rescued now on bbc news the travel show you want, whenever you want. following alerts from local people are in dubai, a place which has set on social media and education plays a big part of the programme ambitious targets for a more "mortadella foccacia." sustainable future — here at the hotel. we meet the people working so i'm off tojoin a group of local in the travel industry hoping schoolkids who are here to meet some to help make that happen. turtles that will soon be coming up this week on the travel show: i am in dubai to find out how they my italian is terrible. released back into the wild. are trying hard to make holidays laughs. more sustainable here. but having so much choice so that goes back into the land, available inevitably can lead we fix the satellite back into the system to a lot of food waste. tracker to the turtle and release herfrom here. to help create food? correct, one big cycle. we named the turtle. sustainability in a bag, i like it. what is the name of the turtle? plus i meet the turtles who have become temporary residents at an iconic seven star hotel. little tiny! and then there is a serious drop this is a tough crowd. in temperature as we travel to russia to meet the man who hasjust completed his own incredible journey across siberia. i have gloves on because it's time to feed the turtles. the siberian people who live there, they would say "karolis, are you ready, guys? you will lose your face on the first day." 00:04:42,580 --> 2147483051:39:06,005 we are kicking off this week 2147483051:39:06,005 --> 00:00:03,140 here in dubai, a place thatjust and that is something that this hotel is tackling. one, two, three, go! here at the buffet for example, they display smaller platters of food and only replace them once they are eaten. feed the turtles! oh, it's all gunky and smelly. but it is back of house that the real serious work is going on to cut down on food waste. it's just behind the rock. can you tell me how this system works? can you see it? of course, let me show you. here we have trimmings, yeah. yeah, it's call, isn't it? trimmings are what is left over from the chef when he is gerhard, this seems preparing the dishes. like a pretty cool place

they are still very much food waste for a turtle to rehabilitate. and we want to identify and categorise these in order to be what happens next from here? able to plan better with our menus. as you have said, it's a very nice let's give it a try. we will throw it into the bin. place for them to spend the last few the system now is showing us months of their rehabilitation. that the weight has been added from here they'll get released to the scales, we will categorise it now, we say yes, and then back into the ocean. it is going to come up with trimmings... and i will identify trimmings, and it is as simple as that. we found that the instincts and the weight is coming up there... kick in straightaway, once we put them on the beach yeah. what we're going to do is we're in a box, and the boxes tilted over, actually the food that's on the guest plates into the trough, they make a beeline for the water. it will wash down into the machine itself, the composting machine, like that. they're off! there we go. this is now segregating it to allow us to they never forget that. actually take out anything that is soluble, and then the food will then go through to the next stage which is composting. ah, that's better. we can hear each other now. 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 as the machine takes ever flight with their two severely away all the solubles, autistic twins, heading it will go off to the composting room, all the food that has been left over goes off for the world's first—ever theme to the composting room, park for special the composting room then takes all of the final solubles out of the food and dries it, needs kids in texas. and this is the end product, this is what you end up with. crying. oh, oh, i'm so sorry! i'm so sorry!

this is what it turns into. but will they make it there? it is so heavy, how i'm so relieved that much food is this? that part is over. this is a day's room service. now let's just get to the gate. a whole day's worth of room service waste is squeezed into a bag like this. make sure you join us it is amazing isn't it, for that, if you can. this will go on to be used but in the meantime, as farming compost, you can follow us in all the usual back into the land. this goes back into the system ways on social media. to help create food. that's right, one big cycle. sustainability in a bag, i like it. but for now, from me, ade adepitan, and all the travel show team, 00:06:20,519 --> 4294966103:13:29,430 it's goodbye from dubai. 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 ok, 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. 00:13:46,537 --> 2147483051:43:37,983 the last thing left 2147483051:43:37,983 --> 4294966103:13:29,430 is to have a swim in the river.
