it seems a little bit extreme, but that's the way i'm afraid now on bbc news, you have to play it. it's the travel show. time now for my departure, this week on the show... but please keep sending me your travel problems and i'll do my very face—to—face with mountain best to find you the answers. for now, from me, simon calder, goodbye, see you soon. lion table manners. and finally, with the opening of the world's largest underwater the intricate art of restaurant in norway's southern the chinese dumpling. region of lindesnes just a few weeks simon's in porto with my travel tips. ago, we visited to see what goes into creating a restaurant five metres underwater. and going under at europe's first my name is stig ubostad. underwater restaurant. i'm the part owner, together with my brother, of under. it's the world's largest underwater restaurant and the first in europe. but it's much more than just that. the three pillars which we divided

the project in is marine biology, first, last year, a series of devastating wildfires had a huge impact across california. architecture, and gastronomy. they were the state's worst on record, burning almost 2—million acres of land. those three together, but it wasn'tjust people that you don't build under if you don't were affected by the fires. have a passion. in greater los angeles, wild mountain lions live around it's not possible. popular hiking spots. the often man—made fires along with other human activities the challenge was really to find threaten their lives. a form and a shape and a location so i've headed north of la that could actually withstand these to the verdugo mountains. i'd heard that one mountain lion forces that we knew would happen. called p41, who became caught up in a fire there in 2017, so the solution was a pipe. helped turn around local understanding of these powerful animals. so it's one of the misconceptions that los angeles is just this concrete jungle without wildlife, and it was constructed on a barge, then transported to this site and carefully lifted off the barge, but there's so much to see here. onto its very precise foundation points, because a big despite attacks on people being very issue is of course not to ruin the place while you're

rare, occasional reports are constructing. so it had to be put down in a really of incidents have contributed to mountain lions being eradicated from north america's eastern states. careful manner in order to maintain their biggest threats still comes from human activity in the form not ruin the ecology of the place. of road traffic, animal so once that was done, poisons and fire. everyone was breathing out, the fires swept through a good that was the real most challenging amount of the verdugo range in 2017 but this spot in particular was hit pretty hard by the fires. part of the project. it's black. yeah. right now we're in a 16 square mile habitat and a mountain lion territory is anywhere from 150—250 square miles. we tried to show what this part of norway can be and is. so the fact they're even able to live and hunt here successfully is pretty astounding. they're doing ok here but they really need help from people and so i think we're at a critical time right now of are we going to coexist

with mountain lions or are we not? most people, they don't know it's thought there could be 30,000 what is under the water mountain lions in western in the nordic seas, it is totally north america but sightings different from tropical fishes are extremely rare. with the colours, it's different. now passionate locals are using modern technology to photograph the lions and broaden public understanding of them. my name is trond rafoss, johanna turner first discovered i work for the norwegian bioeconomy the verdugo lion p416 years ago with one of over a dozen camera research institute. traps she set up just on the outskirts of la. we had to document the species today, i'm joining her to check one showing up in the area out and see if a lion's been through here recently. before we dared to go on with a project like this. to come into this room under is that the... the water, it gave us that's the cougar—cam! new opportunities. did we just trigger the trap? there you go! it gives you a totally different setting where's the camera, in the bottom? yeah. so in one week, what would where you have time, you expect to find on this camera? you have plenty of time the lions will habitually come to do the observations. through about every 2—3 weeks. it depends where we fall in there and there's no telling

until we take a look. we have the brown, the green, that's a funny photo of the raccoon! the red seaweeds, so yeah, we think also in our cold waters we have spectacular colours. this one. the head chef, nikolai, this is what we're hoping to get. he's been working on the menu now for 1.5 years, just working with it and foraging and exploring this is the camera spot from about a month ago. new ways of using different variety this is a really big male. of the sea. he has eaten well very recently, a big burger baby there. in the mornings i like to go out so, let's see what was on this memory card. and forage for different kinds i hope we get to see him again. a couple of daytime shots. of things, right now at this time of year it's mostly seaweed. and yeah, that's i feel being out in nature the end of the roll. and foraging for two hours before all right so 264 photos... you have to go into the kitchen not a single mountain lion. and be there the rest butjohanna has often been much of the day is really nice. luckier catching lions on camera. i think it's so nice to tell she invited me to her la home to show me some of her favourite

photos and tell me more about p41 the guests that this food we foraged who was named as part of research just out here, 150 metres work on local mountain lions. from the restaurant, when i started this, or this fish the chef if a lion wandered into suburbia and was seen by people, was diving for this morning. they would call lapd, there are so many things not getting they would call animal control used, everybody wants only the best ingredients, but why can't and they would instantly send people out to find it and shoot it to kill. ling roe not be good? it's definitely better for the environment if people eat the things next door instead they were scared of it? of having it flown—in foie gras yeah. and truffle every day. and once i started showing pictures of a lion that is calm, i think it's going to bring people it went from shoot on—site to, well, we can tranquillize and relocate closer to who they actually and then at least it has a chance, or... now the ultimate step is, are and in relationship to nature you don't have to do anything. and the borderline that we have here between water and land. after years of monitoring p41, oh, i'm feeling a lot of pressure. he was tragically found dead following a wildfire in 2017. a lot of people have spent so much time, energy, when p41 was found dead to make this restaurant

and i had friends calling me, so beautiful, and dramatic. so now it's open is you know, nearly in tears, over it. when the fun starts. that's sort of when i realised, we started this only a few years ago some days you will get a lot of fish, and some days to where he would be shot, it's not that good. to people realising that they've that's how nature is. lost an animal that they came to know. but the story for p41 nothing more, nothing less. doesn't end quite there. it's nature at its best. a short drive from los angeles is animazonia, a charitable organisation staffed by volunteers to look after animals in need. people can visit here by appointment. it's here where they're looking that's it for this week. after one lion who was found next to a car in la, separated coming up next week: rafa from its parents atjust a few is in spain's capital madrid months old following wildfire. where transport revolution is transforming the way people are getting around. so, this is leno. this is like being a kid again, woohoo! so make sure not to miss it. ohh, is that a hiss? remember you can join our adventures that is a hiss! by following us on social media,

it's ok, it's ok... but for now from me, mike corey, this is his normal greeting. and the rest of the travel show team here in california, it's goodbye. he doesn't look very happy. he's not too happy yet but he'll get a little more comfortable as we're here a bit longer. you know who his parents were? well, we know for sure p41 was his father and that's been genetically tested. why is he still here and not released back into the wild? well, so, at three months old, he wouldn't have learned the hunting skills that he needed. we have some holiday weather on the they usually stay with their mothers way later on in the week as between 1—2 years of age temperatures are set to exceed 20 and so he had to come to be in a sanctuary setting celsius. turning much warmer, and where he would be protected. the weather turns milder from tomorrow. we probably won't feel it the fact is, these sanctuaries until around wednesday, but anything are really needed. we have to be able to provide thatis until around wednesday, but anything that is higher than the last few for the animals that we've daysis that is higher than the last few displaced as humans. days is better. western areas a lot

it seems like people are getting more excited about living so close of cloud, eastern parts have been to an animal like this. clearer. there is high pressure across sweden and norway right now, and within this high pressure we they are, i think the awareness have a lot of cold air, it is of the need to be more mindful in the city planning, following the shape of the high putting corridors and all of that type of work, people are behind it now, they understand that we've done pressure in the colder air has been this and we need to fix it coming across the north sea in reaching our shores. coastal areas and we need to do well for the wildlife. will continue to struggle today. that's a big show but i feel like he's not as mean as he's showing right now. well, i wouldn't want to see you go in there. with clear skies in central and laughter. eastern areas once again it will turn cold. different weather pattern oh, man. in the west, it is milder, and we're best friends, leno, we're best friends! closer to the weather front meaning big cats, small cats, more cloud and some rain. this is the case for tomorrow for cornwall everybody loves jerky. and maybe parts of wales, northern ireland getting some rain. to the west we have winds coming out of the south. that means the sunshine it

will feel better. 14 with london, 30 around merseyside. 14 in edinburgh. now, we are off to taiwan's capital city of taipei for this month's global gourmet — where the chefs colder air on tuesday, look what at din tai fung have taken the art of making dumplings happens later in the week, that air onto a whole new level. coming from the south. on tuesday, cloud around, spots of rain from this old weather front. warrior arrives from the south of the time we get a wednesday. a southerly wind, lots of dry weather across the country, maybe not clear blue skies but bright enough. 18 degrees by thursday and by friday we are around 20 degrees not just thursday and by friday we are around 20 degrees notjust in the south but widely. and into the easter weekend,

the weather will look something like this. this is bbc news. the headlines at 2pm: the cabinet office minister, david lidington, says the government and labour will both have to compromise as they look to break the deadlock over brexit. a leaked recording ofjeremy corbyn reveals that the labour party lost, mislaid or ignored evidence of anti—semitism in the party. the labour mp who made the recording says the handling of anti—semitic complaints should be taken away from the party altogether.

there is no alternative but to have that independent investigation of complaints, otherwise there will not be an opportunity to start rebuilding the trust that we have lost.
