it was the daring wartime prison breakout that inspired cheerier across england and wales. a hit hollywood film, and today marks the 75th anniversary of the great escape. glorious outside at the moment. in the north, scotland and northern ireland we are seeing plenty of showers, more than yesterday and they are moving southwards. they now on bbc news, the travel show will spread into the north of england and reach north wales before are in dubai, a place which has the end of the day. still in the set ambitious targets for a more sustainable future. best at the sunshine further south. the team meet the people working overnight we will keep patchy cloud at times across western areas. that in the travel industry hoping to help make that happen. should keep the temperatures falling coming up this week too far here. with clearer skies on the travel show: i am in dubai to find out how they are trying hard further east we will have chilly air to make holidays more by the end of the night. sustainable here. so that goes back into the land, back into the system to help create food? correct, one big cycle. temperatures down one or two degrees sustainability in a bag, i like it. plus i meet the turtles who have become temporary residents at an iconic seven star hotel. in edinburgh and newcastle. a chilly and then there is a serious drop start to monday but gloriously sunny in temperature as we travel bad thing. more clout in the north a to russia to meet the man who has few showers in the north—west of just completed his own incredible scotland. the eastern coast of england and scotland will be a bit journey across siberia.

low—power. in 13 degrees, similar to the weather today. that is the the siberian people who live there, they would say "karolis, you will lose your face on the first day." forecast. we are kicking off this week here in dubai, a place thatjust over a0 years ago was a sleepy trading town, but now is one of the most popular tourist destinations in the world — up there with london, paris and bangkok. home to the world's tallest skyscrapers, biggest shopping malls and insane hotel suites,

it has built its image on luxury, excess and world records. but i'm here to find out if the new trend in town could surprisingly be sustainability. this is sustainable city. it is only 20 minutes away from the heart of dubai where you'll find all those massive skyscrapers, and over 500 families live here. and it is fast becoming a tourist attraction in its own right. hello, hadeel! hello, welcome to the city. thank you, how are you? i'm good. are you ready for a tour? yes please. let's go. i like that. woo! the whole city was built to cover all environmental, economic and social sustainability. so it's designed to use clean energy from solar panels, and recycle 100% of water and waste, to encourage the use of electric

buggies and electric shuttles. i was going to say, i don't see many cars or buses here. yes. so the residential cluster was designed to encourage walkability. it is a no car zone, it is designed with narrow streets to encourage people to walk and use their bikes inside the community. and they have the electric buggies which you see on the side. look at this place! this is a three bedroom villa. this is something i am intrigued about. you have got a flatscreen tv, you have lights, i can see power points everywhere, even, is that air—conditioning? yes, of course. how does it all run? so, like any other household you find all these appliances, but the rooftop is covered in solar, which produces 60% of the energy requirement for the villa, and we use led lighting. so, is that less power? it is less power, using less power than what you usually would with an ordinary villa.

and the appliances in the kitchen are all environmentally friendly. we try to reduce the need for energy and when you do use energy it is clean energy coming directly from the solar panels on the rooftop. the vibe here is all about smart design and building a sustainable community. there are classrooms on site to cut down on the daily school run, and there is a pet—friendly atmosphere. although the houses aren't cheap, the owners make savings on things like electricity and water. try that... that was eally cool! laughs. when i was told i was coming 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 — it smells lovely! back in 2006, the world wildlife fund said that people living in the united arab emirates had

the biggest ecological footprint in the world. but, with more and more of us thinking about the environment when we choose our holiday destinations, dubai has set a target of getting 75% of its energy from clean and renewable sources by 2050. and i'm off to visit a hotel that claims that sustainability makes good business sense too. now, all the best hotels in the world really pride themselves on their breakfast. so, let's see what this place has got to offer. i tell you what, i am starving. looking forward to some proper breakfast, posh nosh. one of the things people like about big luxury hotels like this is that you can pretty much order whatever you want, whenever you want. "mortadella foccacia." my italian is terrible. laughs. but having so much choice available inevitably can lead to a lot of food waste.

and that is something that this hotel is tackling. here at the buffet, for example, they display smaller platters of food and only replace them once they are eaten. but it is back of house that the real serious work is going on to cut down on food waste. can you tell me how this system works? of course, let me show you. here we have trimmings, trimmings are what is left over from the chef when he is preparing the dishes. they are still very much food waste and we want to identify and categorise these in order to be able to plan better with our menus. let's give it a try. we will throw it into the bin. the system now is showing us that the weight has been added to the scales, we will categorise it now, we say yes, and then it is going to come up with trimmings... and i will identify trimmings, and it is as simple as that. and the weight is coming up there... yeah.

what we're going to do is we're actually put the food that's on the guests‘ plates into the trough, it will wash down into the machine itself, the composting machine, like that. there we go. this is now segregating it to allow us to 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. 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 at 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 oymya kon, 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 one and a half 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, ya kutian 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 it is 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, lam 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 project going on. time to investigate. you must be gerhard. lam. 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 ledges 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 thing 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 turtle 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 cool, 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 their instincts kick in straightaway, once we put them on the beach in a box, and the box is 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. hello, good afternoon. a lot of dry weather coming up—to—date with the

best of the samsung across england and wales. as the week goes by we will see the weather turning a little bit milder. temperatures could reach 18 degrees at the end of the week across parts of england and wales, a lot of dry weather for the vast majority of the uk. the best sunshine is in the southern part of the uk. fort northern ireland and scotla nd the uk. fort northern ireland and scotland we have a number of showers coming in which have been heavy with a bit of hail mixed in and some winteriness over the highest ground and they are marching southwards. likely to move into northern england and perhaps north wales before the end of the afternoon leaving the best sunshine further south. there is much more sunshine than yesterday for southern england and wales, temperatures up to 1a degrees but it feels a bit warmer than the sunnier skies. looking at the picture through this evening and overnight, we will see some patchy cloud at times across western areas of the uk whereas further east the skies will stay clearest longest and with light winds it will be quite chilly

tonight. temperatures down to one or 2 degrees in edinburgh and newcastle, always a bit milder further west with the cloudy conditions. on monday, high—pressure continues to edge closer to the country. the winds will be lighter for scotland but a warm front is moving in bringing more cloud. after a sunny start and a cold start, it will turn cloudierfrom a sunny start and a cold start, it will turn cloudier from the north and west as the days go by, northerly winds on the north sea coast making some eastern coastal towns and cities feeling a little cool towns and cities feeling a little cool, 10 degrees in norwich, not particularly special at this time of year. but the winds change direction and become more of a north—westerly on tuesday and that should lift the temperatures across some eastern areas a bit. still a lot of dry weather on tuesday, still some spells of sunshine around but across the far north of scotland we have a weather front that will bring some wet weather particularly to the northern isles but also at times the highlands. that rain is never too

far away on wednesday. further southwards, plenty of dry weather again and spells of sunshine with temperatures beginning to edge up a little bit. that is something of a trend we will see in the week ahead because towards the end of the week the high—pressure continues to move closer and we pull in some warmer airfrom the near closer and we pull in some warmer air from the near continent which circulates across england and wales where was in northern ireland and scotla nd where was in northern ireland and scotland there is more of an atla ntic scotland there is more of an atlantic influence so that it produced change too much but in england and wales we could have 18 degrees by the time we get to friday. that's your latest weather.
