four young men aged between 15 and 18 have been arrested on suspicion of robbery and previous bodily harm. it follows the assault on two women ona it follows the assault on two women on a bus. the assault took place as the two women were travelling in the early hours. the attackers us a couple to guess while making sexual gestures. covered in blood on a london bus. after holding hands, a group of men asked the couple to kiss, and began harassing them. they got up out of their seats and walked over to where we were and started very aggressively harassing us. after asking the men to stop they were left with black eyes, a cracked jaw and a suspected broken nose. i don't know how we got from fighting on the top of the bus down to the lower deck, but in that timeframe, they took my phone, her bag, and they ran off the bus.

summer marks pride season across the world. in just a few weeks, lesbian, gay, bisexual and tra nsgender people, as well as their allies, will be out celebrating one of the country's biggest events, pride in london. these streets will be filled with proud lgbt people celebrating their visibility. butjust to this time last year, research found more than two—thirds of lgbt people were too scared to hold their same—sex partner's hand in public. this attack will serve as a reality check as to why more awareness is needed today. we are hoping the government is going to do more in terms of legislation. we want to have equaljustice, so that when somebody is being sentenced for a crime against lg bt people, it is the same as if it were a crime based on racism, or against somebody because of their faith. chris and melania want some good to come from this incident. i want people to take away that they should stand up for themselves and stand up for each other. but they say they won't be changing their behaviour because of it.

other cultural thing is we eat together, this local food we feed each other. it is a sign of respect and care. like a motherfeeding a child. it is the culture we do here. that is interesting. 0pen child. it is the culture we do here. that is interesting. open your mouth and you have your first... that is interesting. open your mouth and you have your first. .. nice. this is incredible food. people have to come to ethiopia and eat this food. you like it? it is delicious, it's tasty, spicy, reg. at least four or five different textures i could feel my tongue. now it is your turn to give me a bite of that. here

it comes. you are like a professional. having this little ceremony, with a lovely person, it isa ceremony, with a lovely person, it is a wonderful experience. very humbling. to be able to share and exchange cultures is so wonderful. it is hard to describe, really. it is very emotional. i cannot pick up a book and so, let's go to this place or that place. i had to have the research and knowledge beforehand and i have and knowledge beforehand and i have a very, very good memory so i plan i read before i travel. i don't know who i am going to meet and what is going to happen but that is part of

the adventure, it is exciting. many people say i could not do that. but me, i don't worry about it because it is the unknown and that is what i love and enjoy. trying to find people that can help me with on line. this guy called mike, a local quy: line. this guy called mike, a local guy, who seemed interesting and good fun. i told the others coming to addis ababa. made up for a coffee to chat about ethiopian culture. tony? mike, good to meet you. thanks are coming. welcome to ethiopian. have a seat. i just really coming. welcome to ethiopian. have a seat. ijust really wanted to meet you and find out a bit of about ethiopian and what is going on in addis ababa. likewise, i really wa nted addis ababa. likewise, i really wanted to meet you. we have recently had a change in government so it was

not an election but by popular demand a new government has come up to power. it is a new government, a young leader, a kind of visionary. the first time most people would have heard about if the over would have heard about if the over would have be 1985, the band—aid live aid. but there is more than that, more to ethiopian? that image stayed in people's mind and shuttered everything else. in the famine was over and we were back to safe times, nobody was reporting on data. like, if you take the farming side, if you beer is the fifth largest country in the world with the number of livestock. —— ethiopian. it is not as depicted. ok, mike, where are we

going? now we are going to the headquarters of the african union. so there, we are going to see a statue, a new statute that was just inaugurated and it is a statue of haile selassie, our last emperor. i've heard of him. if you do this, you are getting a nice picture, and if you turn the camera sideways, because it is... vertical, yeah. tony, you are a nice photographer. thanks. yeah. awesome. yeah, yeah. you have a talent for pictures. yeah, just you don't point, hopefully something comes out. how important is haile selassie to ethiopian people. for some, he was a hero, for others he was a villain. because whenever you occupy a throne, those other things, the two balls you juggle. he tried to

modernise the country. so he did work a lot on education, but was one of his main interests. my grandfather was a big fan of him. he said, he used to come to their school, randomly, just to check on what the students were being fed. every time he would come, he would bring them grapes, apples, oranges. and how was he viewed by young ethiopian people today? haile selassie is immortalised, he is iconic. if you bring your hand, and interla ce iconic. if you bring your hand, and interlace it here, and you do this... yeah, yeah. it goes back to unity. yeah, yeah, of course. so, we are heading into north addis. we are going to see an art gallery, an art gallery for blind and

visually impaired people. i am assuming some kind of tactile art exhibition. different textures to make a picture or pictures. but what i'm assuming. we will find out when we get there. thank you. the entrance? hi, tony. welcome. i. welcome to my studio. thank you, i'm really looking forward to it. let me show you one of the art pieces. while. so, we are touching a piece of art. these are people, who are

laughing. this is their mouths. ok. this is their nose. this is their eyes. these are like buttons, are they? yes. so it is a face. you can see their hands, they are screaming, happy, expressing themselves. do you like it? it's really good, it's really interesting. it really gives a blind person a better understanding of expression of people. it is amazing. it is really inspiring. so many times you go to art galleries with your friends, and you sort of feel excluded. touching this made me feel included.

christian cross. actually part i can appreciate. i felt equal. christian cross. actually part i can appreciate. ifelt equal. it was really nice, really positive. ifeel just like anyone else looking at heart. ethiopian's number one station for news, music and entertainment? that's asked, 105.3 afro fm. driving through addis one afternoon, got a bit hungry, so got afternoon, got a bit hungry, so got a taxi to stop at a food stall on the street. i went in and talked to the street. i went in and talked to the guy there. i was talking to him

and telling him my story, i travel around the world and i am blind,. we are about to go live on our, are you ready? he said, do you want to come on my breakfast show? i said, yeah, that would be cool. talk to the people, share my story, may inspire a few people. good morning, good morning, good morning, ladies and gentlemen. how are you doing? it is the best breakfast in town, your voice of motivation and inspiration every single day. i'm sitting here with an amazing person, tony giles is here in the studio. he has a blind person, but also partially deaf, but he has managed to travel 138 countries around the world. good morning, everyone. the question i have for you right now, i'm sure a lot of the listeners are wondering as well, what are the main challenges you face doing this project you've been doing? one of the most difficult ones is getting money out of atm machines, cash machines. i have to find somebody i can trust. i have to check them out, listen to their story, how they are sounding, figure out that i can trust them and go to the cash machine with them. they help to help

me read the screen, i can press the buttons and put my information on, and once i get the money, i have to ask them, what denomination are these. i can't read a menu in a restau ra nt, these. i can't read a menu in a restaurant, so i have to have an idea of the national dish of each country i visit. in ethiopian it is quite easy. probably one of the other biggest challenges for me as crossing borders. i have to hand my passport over to someone, and i don't know where that passport goes, andi don't know where that passport goes, and i have to hope it is going to get back to me. what keeps you going, when you are faced with challenges? how do you keep your chin up? when i get tired and i think i can't do it anymore, i think about my best friend. he died when i was young. he had a serious disability, and he couldn't move most of his body. i always think of him, he inspired me. i've got it easy compared to what he has. just keep going, yeah. ladies and gentlemen, value habit. the one and only tony giles here in the studio. it was such an amazing, inspirational story. yeah, i have

dark days. not so many now. one of the main reasons i started travelling was escapism, escapism from my emotions. i can do things physically, that's easy. i run away from my emotions. i couldn't deal with relationships for a long time. because i thought an everyday relationship would end the same way as my relationship with my friend, i thought. people would go away. i thought. people would go away. i thought that's what would happen with a relationship. and for a long time, it did. i realised that there's more to life. i could stop grieving. i still occasionally gets dark days. but the way you overcome them, the way i overcome them, is, i think, when i get up tomorrow, i think, when i get up tomorrow, i think, what's the next challenge? i know people love me. so that's

enough. some people might say i am on the extreme edge of travel, and the extreme edge of disabled people. ido the extreme edge of disabled people. i do worry sometimes, when i'm giving talks, doing interviews, by going to put people off? am by going to make people think, wow, that's incredible, nutso out there, i couldn't do i couldn't possibly. i wonder if in a weird way, maybe i discourage people. i guess ijust thought i'd have to tell it and let people take from it what they will. without people, i wouldn't be able to travel. i think it isa wouldn't be able to travel. i think it is a 2—way thing. people help me, andi

it is a 2—way thing. people help me, and i am given something back. i show them there is an alternative way. they say, how do you travel, how can you see? why have you come to my country, your blind. i told them, well, i come to eat the food and meet the people and hear the music and walk on the train up and down the mountains. i can feel it all through my skin and my feet and thatis all through my skin and my feet and that is how i see a country. the terrain around the churches on the outside is up there with some of the toughest places and terrain i have visited. i just want to be toughest places and terrain i have visited. ijust want to be normal. it is just so frustrating. got to be strong all the time. it is the only way i can travel, the only way i can cope.

hello there. the atmosphere on friday was in an extremely lively mood. a lot of rain for some of us, thunder and lightning, and even reports of one or two funnel clouds. these pictures came from somerset. this certainly looks like a funnel cloud. a funnel cloud is very similar to a tornado, itjust doesn't touch the ground. this is the radar picture from friday evening. showers and thunderstorms developed across the west country, south—east wales, drifted up into the midlands. still some hefty showers around through the first part of saturday morning.

the thunder and lightning risk much lower at this stage. 0utbrea ks of persistent rain drifting into southern scotland, northern ireland, certainly affecting northern england and there's some very windy weather down towards the south. it all comes courtesy of this, an area of low pressure, only slowly drifting north through the day ahead. it will bring some unseasonably windy weather and some outbreaks of rain at times. the rain is likely to be sitting across the south and east of scotland, into northern england, wales, the midlands, east anglia, nudging to the south—east. really, the spiral of rain sits in the same place throughout the day. elsewhere we see some spells of sunshine but also showers breaking out, and those winds will be brisk indeed, especially for southern and eastern parts of england, which could see gusts of 40 or 50 miles an hour, which could well have an impact on some outdoor events. those temperatures really disappointing. 14 in newcastle, maybe 17 in cardiff. the weather will start to come down during saturday night. that area of low pressure finally spins away to the north—east, taking much of the rain with it.

clear spells, it's going to be a bit chilly in one or two places, and as the winds fall lighter, i would not be surprised to see the odd mist and fog patch here and there sunday morning. sunday's weather still dominated by dutch low pressure, but it's moving away. not as many lines on the chart, not as many isobars. a day of sunshine and showers. the showers most plentiful across northern ireland and scotland. fringes of western england and northern wales. eastern england should not see too many showers, it was a largely dry with some sunshine, and those winds will be noticeably lighter especially in southern areas. it will feel a bit warmer, 15 in belfast, 19 in london. but the week ahead looks very unsettled. outbreaks of rain at times. it will often be quite windy, and for a while at least it will feel very cool indeed.
