this is bbc news. the headlines: president trump's state visit to japan continues with a round of golf with prime minister shinzo abe. the two leaders are also due to tackle the issue of trade imbalances, but the japanese economy minister says he doesn't expect talks to lead to an agreement. ukraine's new president, volodymyr zelensky, has called on russia to comply with an order by an international tribunal to release naval personnel and vessels seized last year off the coast of crimea. russia said the court in germany had no jurisdiction in the case. with nearly all the results now in, voters in a referendum in ireland have backed liberalising the country's divorce laws. it would give politicians the power to reduce the time that couples must spend apart before they can secure a divorce.

some sports news, and neil lennon has been offered the celtic manager's job permanently after the completion of an historic treble—treble. celtic beat hearts 2—1 to win the scottish cup. here is chris mclaughlin. the 134th scottish cup final. for celtic, though, three was the magic number. their prize — a treble for the third year in a row. for the men in maroon, a single—single would do just fine. the first half was pretty much like the mid—may glasgow weather — all a little bit dull. hearts sat in to soak up what celtic could offer, and despite this edouard chance, the champions offered up very little. but, shortly after the break, the goal the game was crying out for. this could be a big moment. it could be a very big moment! first blood to the underdogs, but their lead didn't last long. celtic pushed, hearts

tripped, penalty given. edouard's leveller providing relief for those in green and white. it all got a little bit stodgy again until ten minutes before the end. with history in their sights, edouard once again made hampden roar. a victory, silverware, and enough for neil lennon to be offered the job on a permanent basis. it wasn't their best performance. these supporters won't care about that, but celtic have made world football history. the treble—treble is theirs. chris mclaughlin, bbc news, hampden park. now on bbc news, the travel show. this week, on the travel show, it's ladies‘ night in the atlas mountains. wejoin the historic cavalcade of pancho villa.

and i'm stepping up to the plate in new york. i'll never be able to hit it that hard, but i'm going to give it my best shot. no pressure at all. well, there's a little bit of pressure. we're starting this week by heading off to morocco, tojoin a high country that's on trend.

around the world, some tour companies have been reporting that bookings for women's only adventure trips up by whopping a0%, so we sent cat moh to the atlas mountains to join a trekking group run for and by women. the berber tribes have lived in the atlas mountains for thousands of years, in villages and towns dotted across the slopes and valleys. i've been to morocco before but this is the first time i'm actually making it out into the mountains, and i'm super excited about it. but it's also the first time i'm going to take part in a women's only expedition, so let's see how that goes.

most of the women helping us on our two—day trip are berber, and trusted members of the community. today we're walking through some of the clay villages in valley. leading us is hafida hdoubane, morocco‘s first female mountain guide. she qualified 25 years ago. very much a pioneer of the time. how old's this place? we don't really know the age, but it is probably 11th century. wow. so, we havejust stopped for some mint tea in this castle—like building. that's our host. 80% of women here cannot read and earn very little, but a rise in these women—only tours are starting to provide an income for those who can host us on their own terms, without men present.

the henna is notjust for beauty. these people work very hard, and if you know, henna is antiseptic. to have women in the expedition and to have women hiking and helping other women, i love this idea, to have the new women coming in from far away, western women, to share in the life of the berber women. in honour of our arrival, some of the locals are throwing us a party. but there's one rule. the berber women often gather in the evenings to sing, dance and chat. they don't always dress up in their traditional outfits, but they wanted us to have little experience, and they have kindly lent us their clothes.

i am actually wearing someone‘s bridal dress. so i've been wedged in the middle. and apparently the male musicians don't count as men, so it's also considered aboveboard. over breakfast, i catch up with zina. she has long been an advocate for women's rights in morocco and worked hard to launch these women's only tours. what do women get out of this rather thanjoining a regular mixed group?

in a country like morocco, where especially in places that are a bit conservative like here, it's really hard to be able to interact with the locals, especially when you come with a group of mixed tourists. in a group with women only, we can actually break some barriers and get to learn about the customs, the tradition, they open up, the headscarves fall down when you're in their homes, and they start to talk to you woman to woman. how much difference does it make to their lives? a lot, when you consider it is notjust a trend, it is something that is fast growing, women only trips in the world. it is a big business now. that means there is a need, and if we can supply this need, in a sense, we can help women and empower them and provide them with an income.

it's a longer walk today, way off the beaten track, deep into the high atlas mountains. we are on our way to join a nomad family for the afternoon. they are part of the eit ata tribe of south—east morocco. how many times have you come here to this bit? i have lost count, 200 times? the altitude is really starting to hit now, plus it is so hot.

fatima is a widow. normally women would give up this lifestyle as it's considered a man'sjob. she lives in a cave with her daughter and has begun hosting female tourists to supplement her income. they also help out with the daily tasks, some staying for up to a week. this afternoon it's getting the goats back into the pen to milk. sounds simple enough. what do i do? yells. that's a faster way to do it. there we are.

i'm not sure i was the most effective goat herder. this is not why i came. i can't even get a drop of milk. fatima and her daughter often spend time with other nomads in the area. they have come to help her this afternoon. everybody is happy, dancing, making fun. what type of dancing? i can see why these trips are becoming so popular. we've met some wonderful women who have welcomed us into their world. and, although i'd been to morocco before, it sometimes felt like i was only experiencing half

the story, half its people. but now, i'm leaving with maybe more of an understanding of the country and its customs, and an appreciation for the women who live here in these challenging but stunning mountains. cat moh reporting there from morocco. and if you're planning on heading there, here are the travel show‘s top tips for what to know before you go. if it's more of a city exploration you are looking for in morocco, why not go beyond marrakesh and try fes? step inside its beautiful walled city medina, and alongside the colourful tanneries associated with morocco, you'll find the city alive with culture, especially in latejune during the fes festival of world sacred music, showcasing spiritual music from around the globe. further afield, every september, the village of imilchil

in morocco‘s midelt mountains celebrates moussem. 30,000 people from the surrounding berber tribes gather for the three—day marriage festival. it's a spectacle of romance, with couples meeting and marrying. 0r pack your running shoes for something more active. the morocco trail race is also happening this september. at distances ranging from 10 km to 144, it's for a range of levels. but unlike most races, the idea is to meet local people and get a taste of berber mountain life at the same time. still to come on the travel show, we travel stateside to visit a town which enjoys a cross—border celebration with mexico for one day a year. and i discover the street sport that has entertained generations

of new yorkers. keep your eye on the ball. don't say it, don't say it! laughter. needs a bit more practice. so don't go away. this week i am in new york city outside the legendary yankee stadium. now each year around three and half million locals and tourists come here to enjoy one of america's favourite sports, baseball. the first recorded baseball match in the united states was played in the 1840s just over the river in newjersey. its saw new york square off against knickerbockers. and since then, the sport has become a way of life for many. what do you think new york would be without baseball?

boring. just how many baseball themed items do you have in here? we have probably close to 10,000 pieces on show. 10,000! recently we added the holy grail of baseballs, this is signed by popejohn paul ii. he is actually a saint so as i like to tell people, i've got one baseball signed by an actual saint and almost 4000 signed by sinners. later i'll be trying my hand at a street version of baseball that has entertained generations of new yorkers. but first, we're heading to the mexican border with the united states. where in 1916, a raid led by the mexican revolutionary general pancho villa on the american town of columbus, new mexico, escalated into a full—blown battle with the us army. today, the event brings the two communities together.

i am one of the founders of the cabalgata that approaches and joins with columbus. in a celebration and remembrance of the pancho villa raid in 1916.

many americans that get on their horses, they come down and they meet them at the border. and they kind of co—mingle at that time. then they all come up together. the march, the three miles march from the border to here is symbolic. everybodyjust enjoys it, to see those people come here and remember that this was part of their history.

we have speeches, singing, dancing. you go around and you walk around and shake hands with pancho villa, which is a lot of fun. we never celebrated the raid, per se. we acknowledge that it happened. but this is 100 years later. nobody alive now was in that raid or had any part to do with it so this is strictly for friendship with people that live below the border and people that live on this side of the border. and to finish off, i'm heading north

to new york where a street version of baseball has been played for decades. it's called stickball. if you come to the bronx in spring or summer there is a street called stickball boulevard where most sundays, the emperors stickball league keep the tradition alive. ok, so as far as i can tell, each player has three attempts to serve the ball, one attempt to hit it. if they miss the ball, they're out. if they hit it, it's about getting to first base, second base et cetera. to keep the game going the street is closed off to traffic. shouting. there is a lot of smack talk as well. a lot of smack talk.

in fact i'm told that smack talk accounts for 90% of the game. there is also a lot of camaraderie. everyone is just having fun. it is just about a bunch of friends getting together and hanging out. how did you get into it? we are washed up baseball players. that is part of it. the other thing is that it is a tradition. stickball is a tradition that always happened in new york city and a lot of our parents put us into the game. my family has been playing over 50 years. i remember a young kid going to see my uncles play downtown. it was really cool. how about you, young man, are you into it? nope. the popularity of stickball continued throughout the 1950s and ‘60s. and tourists can revisit that in manhattan's tenement museum that recreates a typical apartment from the time.

there were tons of tenements which were cheap places for people to live. sometimes even nine or ten people per apartment in the space we are in right now. it was overcrowded and cramped but also fun because everyone would have been out on the street. people would be socialising, people would be shopping. stickall was a game with a low cost of entry. all you needed was a broom handle which most households had, and some sort of ball. and if you did not have one, they only cost a couple of cents. as you can see, they are made of a cheap rubber or leather, really you can use anything to play this game. it was very ad hoc. and that rough and ready home—made approach continues today. all of you have customised your bats. what are they made from? wood. closet poles from the home depot. closet rods, poles, whatever. new york emperors stickball league was established in the mid—80s. we have approximately 100 members playing stickball.

one of the league's founders was called steve mercado. he was a fireman in engine company 40 who died in the 9/11 attacks. it was his vision to advance the league. he always wanted it to be an 0lympian event. so on memorial day weekend we have teams from california come. we have teams from florida, 0rlando, miami tampa. we constantly try to uphold the vision for him. his two sons, as a matter of fact, play in the league right now and it is a legacy we want to continue. the power of some of these swings. you can hear it. whoosh! i don't know if i will be able to hit that hard that i will give it my best shot. ok, let's go. let's do it. grab a stick for you. this one right here. 0k. let it bounce once, step into the ball. 0k. i feel like the ball clipped the bat.

i'm aiming for a clean hit this time. this time, you've got to run to first base. but now they going to talk trash, though. keep your eye on the ball. don't say it... don't say it. just toss it up. that's good. there you go. run it out, run it out! let go of the bat! they laugh. i think i'm gonna leave it to the professionals. i need a bit more practice. i might be done but if you want to catch some stickball, the emperors league big blowup memorial day competition takes place next weekend.

well, that's your lot for this week. coming up on next week's travel show... i'm going to be looking back at a white—knuckle start to the year on the programme. like when ade experience life in the fast lane in dubai. wowee. that was incredible. so much raw power. we are about to set off. 100 kilometres down a very icy hill. and christa took on a bobsled ride in latvia. oh, man. i think that's one of the most intense experiences of my entire life. that was completely insane. don't forget, you can keep track of us wherever we are in the world on our social media. but for now from me, lucy hedges, and the rest of the travel show team

here in the bronx, it's goodbye. hello. for some, it's been a sunny start to the bank holiday weekend. we saw a high of 25 celsius in london on saturday afternoon. this is herne bay, in kent, around about the same time. for others, a very different story. cloudy, outbreaks of rain across parts of northern ireland, northern england and scotland, and many of us will see some rain over the next few days. it will be turning cool and breezy, as well, but also some spells of sunshine. but the rain and the strengthening breeze comes courtesy of an atlantic front working its way eastwards, likely to stall through much

of the weekend across the far north of scotland. it's certainly scotland which will see the lion's share of the rain through the early hours of sunday morning, and northern scotland will keep that rain through much of the day on sunday. rain initially across northern ireland, clearing its way eastwards and turning more showery on its journey across england and wales. the rain quite patchy across east anglia and south—east england. some may stay mainly dry. behind that band of rain, a few showers, but also some sunshine. a fine afternoon across northern ireland, north—west england and wales, but quite breezy. some gusty winds coupled with that rain across northern scotland, so temperatures here just nine or 10 celsius. elsewhere, we're looking at 14—19 celsius, maybe 20 or 21 across east anglia and south—east england. any rain here will pull away through the evening. behind it, some clear skies. still that rain continuing across scotland overnight, but slowly starting to become more showery. a slightly cooler night as we go into the early hours of bank holiday monday. we're looking at lows between about 7—11 celsius. so here's bank holiday monday.

still some rain across scotland, sinking its way further southwards, becoming slightly more showery. elsewhere, it is sunshine and showers, and the showers most frequent the further north and west you are. not so many getting across to east anglia and south—east england, but nowhere immune on bank holiday monday from a shower, in between some spells of sunshine. that will help temperatures up to between 14 and 18 celsius, but certainly a cooler feeling day. we keep that cooler feel as we go into wednesday. 0urwinds are coming from the north and the north—west. that's always going to continue to feed some showers across, probably not quite as many as what we'll see on bank holiday monday, but some of those showers could lingerfor a time through tuesday across south—east england and east anglia. fewer showers actually on tuesday the further west you are, potentially, but again, anywhere could catch a shower. temperature—wise we're looking at 11—17 celsius on tuesday. little change, really, wednesday and thursday. sunny spells and showers, the showers most frequent the further north and west you are, driest further south. bye— bye.
