this week i'm exploring whitby in the north—east of england. it's a pretty town, with a bit of a dark side. more than 120 years ago, this place inspired the creation of one of literature‘s most terrifying monsters. stay tuned to find out which one. but first... we are in new york as the city gears up to host 4 million visitors for world pride, perhaps the biggest event in the calendar for many in the community. this year will be especially pregnant though, as it marks the 50th anniversary of the stonewall riots, an event that marked the start of the struggle for recognition, rights and respect. we sent the bbc‘s lgbt correspondent, ben hunte, to find out more. new york, a city that has always

held a special place in my heart. i love the pace, the energy, and the excitement. but more than anything it's a city that i found inclusive, where people like me can be themselves. when i was growing up, i didn't really think about what had happened before i was alive to enable me to live such a free and open lie. it is something i think a lot of young people go through now. you just find yourself within a community that's really loving and accepting and you don't think about the history behind it. so it's so nice to come to new york and see that, actually, for the 50th anniversary of stonewall, we are celebrating the past, we looking into the people that really allowed us to be so free and open now. in the us, the 1960s was an era of activism and protests. it was the end of the counter—culture. 1960s, women were fighting for their rights, blacks were fighting for their rights, latinos were fighting for their rights,

and we just said, what about us? why not us? why not me!? onjune 28, 1969, the riots at the stonewall inn, on christopher street, would mark the birth of the modern gay rights movement. so this is where it's at. yes. it's where it all happened. mark segal was 18 at the time and had arrived in the cityjust a few weeks earlier. now you're seeing all the the rainbow flags on it. what is like to be back here? it is a sort of emotional. i think of the people who helped educate me, or what we needed to do to create a real movement, to create real equality. what was it like that night? just like any other normal night. we were inside, we were having a great time. i was standing in the back, near the dance floor. lights flickered on, then they came on, full force. i looked over to someone and said, "what's happening ? " they said, very casually, "it's a raid".

i had never been in a raid before so i was a little nervous. police barged in and just started pushing people around. and anybody looked like they were successful, they went up to them and said, "take out your wallet" and they took the money. it was, you know, it was out out graft right in front of everybody‘s face and they did not care because that's the way you got to treat gay men and lesbian women in those days. you treated them like trash. so they cornered me, i went out and i stood about right over there. 0ut here, somewhere between 50 and 100. police tried to disperse us. we would not disperse. it was the first time the gay people said to police, "no, this is our neighbourhood, you're not going to tell us to get off our street." we picked up stones, we picked up cans, and threw them. and that was the first riot. the protests raged for several nights and led to the first pride march in 1970.

the stonewall inn has since become a historic landmark and attracts visitors from across the globe, keen to learn about the struggles. was it legal to serve gay people alcohol? and it was awesome... it was not easy. many of us went to jail. many of us were beat. it has been a long 50 years but, guess what, we are further along than i would have ever expected. i can't really imagine what it must‘ve been like to be there, on that day when stonewall riots were kicking off. but i loved what he said about the fact the, for them, it was just a protest. they were sticking up for their rights and doing what they felt they needed to do, and it is only now that we realise what big impact they all made. many cultural institutions have embraced the opportunity to delve deeper into lgbt history and culture, highlighting the bravery of some of the less well—known figures. some of the most important people

are transgender people, and particularly sylvia rivera and marsha p johnson. a lot of people think of them just in terms of their participation in stonewall but they were really major activists at that time and were on the front lines of all of the demonstrations. so the whole community came together then? yeah, both this new generation of activists and also the older generation of activists, and lesbian activists, gay activists, and transgender activists. oh, yes, "lesbians unite", yeah. so here you see thousands of people we were willing to come out of the closet and be part of this political movement. it is hoped that exhibitions like this will help keep the memory of what happened alive and inspire a future generation. i'm 27, this is the first time i've seen many of these pieces. why should people my age, my generation, care about this exhibition? in this internet age of people liking things on facebook, and a kind of internet activism, i think it is very hard for people to realise the real oppression that people faced in the 1960s and 70s, and also that they were able to make a difference,

and the way they changed our society by getting personally involved in politics, injoining organisations, creating newsletters, and putting their bodies on the line in demonstrations. i think we need to appreciate today and also be inspired by today, to know that we can make a difference again. and decades on, with millions of people descending on new york for world pride, art is still playing a central role in celebrations. but there are concerns that the events are becoming too corporate. what are some of the big things happening in new york then? well, one of the really cool things that's happening, the lisa project which is a local group of artists, who is working with macy's and the hsbc bank, and they are putting 50 murals all around new york city, and kind of letting people know about 50 years of pride. some people would say that that is kind of like the over—commercialisation of pride, right? well, and that's the double—edged sword, really. you know, we need money to be able to do the programmes, represent marginalised people within the lgbt community,

but we also want to make sure that community's interests are being met first and foremost. but is there still a need for pride? ‘cause it used to be a protest and now we've got straight people that are coming into our own spaces, we're going into their space, so everything is kind of mixing and blending so do we still need like segregated space and things like that? as we gain more acceptance in mainstream society, we're going to be accepted more in straight spaces, but we also want to preserve our culture and i think that is the future of the queer community is being able to use corporate money to build the spaces we need, rather than using corporate money to build bad advertising. and back at stonewall, a chance encounter with a group of students provides an emotional reminder ofjust how far the movement has come. i am proud of what happened there. it makes me proud to see you're all here today because it says the work that we did is filtering through. i think any of us who were there that night would have never expected

we would have come as far as we have. i'm shocked. i never thought i would be able to get married, i never thought i'd be able to express that publicly. me saying that i have a husband... sorry, i'm really emotional. it is something i really never thought i could do. wow. so thank you, guys. if you can't make it to new york this year, there are plenty of other lgbt events happening worldwide. taipei pride is one of the largest pride celebrations in asia. this year's celebration comes months after this island became the first asian country to legalise same—sex marriage. for a newer tradition, on the 20th ofjuly,

head to brighton on the south—east coast of england for one of the largest international trans—focused events. the city's marlborough theatre will run a programme showcasing performances from a range of artists who all exist under the transgender or non—binary umbrella. if you would rather swap the city for the great outdoors, then canyons river company will be hosting the annual river pride on idaho's famous middle fork salmon river in late august. they offer specially—designed tours that will take you through the heart of one of the largest—designated wilderness areas in america. still to come on the travel show: packing two islands into one holiday — simon calder tells us how in global guru. and i get in touch with my dark side at whitby‘s infamous goth festival. wow, some of these costumes

are just so impressive. they really make an effort. i'm exploring the english seaside town of whitby, once a fishing hub famous for its herring. today, one family smokes herring the old —fashioned way, to create a time—honoured breakfast classic — kippers. hello. good morning. how are you doing, barry? very well, thanks. good to see you. so i hear this is one of the oldest businesses here in whitby? yeah, we established in 1872. wow. my great—great—grandfather established the business. we use the same method has been brought through. basically we get the raw herring, we split it up and take its inside out, wash it, and it's brined for about a0 minutes in saltwater, and then we smoke it for about 20, 22, 2a hours, until it's ready basically. in the late 1800s, early 1900s, it was done like this so the kippers

would keep weeks, let's say a week. could i try one, actually? of course, we will need to cook it, two minutes we'll have it ready for you. great. this is what i like, service with a smile. that's your kipper. thank you. what do i do, just to lift this up? let's get in there. no messing about. look at these bones! they're fine, they're just hair—bones, they're really soft. you'll not notice. i'll be all right, yeah? i'm sure you'll survive it. that's good. i can get that smoky taste. that is really lovely. i'm going to have another bit. cheers, barry. you're welcome, thank you. hello! this week i have advice on combining two great mediterranean islands

on the same trip, and combating altitude sickness in peru. first, though, this summer sees the opening of a new tourist itinerary in north iceland. the arctic coast way embroiders 21 villages and four islands into an itinerary that includes 800 kilometres of roads and tracks. the aim is to introduce visitors to the pure nature, vibrant culture and daily lives of people living close to the arctic circle. next, pam thackeray wants to combine two great mediterranean islands. we want to explore corsica and sardinia in a two—week break, and we are wondering how best to do this. there's a clear geographical logic in combining corsica and sardinia, because the two islands are barely 10 kilometres apart. fly into bastia in the north of corsica, a gem of a town, set around an elegant harbour.

take the train to the capital, ajaccio, which has ancient roots and a sunny disposition. frequent ferries sale from the southern tip of corsica to sardinia in about one hour. consider renting a car for exploring the much bigger island of sardinia, three times larger and five times more populous than corsica. plan an almost circular trip, cutting down the eastern shore to cagliari, the capital, spanning carthaginian, roman, byzantine, spanish and italian eras. then head north and a bit west to alghero, a pretty a waterside town that will make an excellent end to your holiday, with beaches, history and natural good looks. russell kennedy is heading for peru. we've had conflicting suggestions about how to combat altitude sickness. what is your advice? russell, i have managed to get to a500 metres in peru without any ill effects, but perhaps i have just been lucky.

so i have called in some expert advice for you. ok, so if you arrive in peru at a high altitude village, it is important to make sure you prepare your body for the altitude. you need to make sure that you hydrate regularly, drink a lot of fluids to excrete the waste, to help your body acclimatise more quickly. also be able to recognise the signs and symptoms of high altitude illness — headaches, nausea, vomiting, disorientation. those can all be prevented by going at a slower pace, concentrating on your breathing, and making sure that you hydrate well during your entire journey. that's all for now, but do keep sending me your travel problems and i will do my best to come up with some solutions. for now, from me, simon calder, goodbye. and to finish this week, i'm in whitby. a coastal town in the

north—east of england that is also the spiritual home to one of literature‘s most terrifying monsters. legend has it that a holiday in whitby provided author, bram stoker, with the inspiration for his most famous creation, dracula. and both the town and its ruined abbey feature in the novel. twice a year, as many as 10,000 visitors come here for an event that pays tribute to the town's eerie reputation. this is the whitby goth festival, and this year it's celebrating its 25th anniversary. wow, some of these costumes are just so impressive, they really make an effort.

thatjacket looks incredible! tell me about the story behind this? well, this is what i call wearable sculpture. i took reference from sort of old mansion houses and cathedrals, and took the architecture, and thought about, you know, applying it to fabric. could you give us a little spin? of course, mate. oh, my days. look at the intricacy on the back! the stained glass panels actually are backlit, so at night—time we flick on and they actually illuminate. oh, wow, looking around here, i'm feeling really underdressed. i reckon i could sort you out with a sort of nice jacket and a nice hat. think goth, and most people think of dark clothing, a gloomy attitude, and the post—punk music of the 1980s. is goth still a big thing, then? huge, it's getting bigger and bigger all the time. and what about all this stuff?

this is really cool, isn't it? that's a clock! look at that. this is it, this is clever stuff. is that not cool? that is cool. not sure if i will get past customs with that. whoa, let's see this. yeah. is that not cool, or is that not cool? it is cool. a lot of people, including myself, are guilty of having a stereotypical view of the goth movement, but do you think you get recognised for the quality of the art? because what i am seeing here is amazing. yeah, well, the craftsmanship in some cases is extraordinary, worthy of standing in any art gallery anywhere. the event has come a long way since it started “119911, when founderjo hampshire

had the idea to bring together goths from all over the uk. i thought that whitby was quite central in the country, but i also made the mistake of thinking there must be lots of dracula conventions here, and they would see goths all the time. because of the bram stoker thing? yeah, but in fact that wasn't true. all these black—clad people turned up at the town was like, whoa, satanists visited the town! and so there was a bit of an uproar, the police came around and everything. seriously? yeah, totally, and then people asked me if i would do it again, and then the town sort of got into it then. they kind of quite liked us to come. and how proud do you feel to have turned this tiny festival into this big event now? i think that for me, it's great, this is where all those people who are maybe alone, or kind of in little pockets in their own town, get to be the big fish in the pond forjust a weekend, and the group of punky alternative

people have formed this little kind of allegiance and affinity with a little local community. the goth weekend also hosts other events that share its welcoming tone. so we're here today for the first audition in our 2019 model contest. so, this model contest aims to promote and celebrate diversity within the modelling industry. goths, punks, people with tattoos, piercings, body modifications. so it really is a wide range of individuals. this competition really is sort of allowing people to say, this is who i am, i'm proud of who i am, i'm an individual and i stand out. it's making me look like a mugshot, like i'm in prison. take it away!

some people might find the goth style a little intimidating but, i have to say, the whitby goth festival is a fun, inclusive event where everyone is made to feel welcome. their next weekend takes place from october 25—27. well, it's been an amazing day here in whitby. make sure you join us next week, when... three, two, one! this is really... 0h! i am knee deep and i'm still sinking further. mike is getting muddy in thailand, as he visits a community threatened by climate change that has been helped by some green—fingered travellers.

and don't forget to check out our social media, where you'll find extra pics and clips from all of our travels. but until next time, from me, ade adepitan, and the rest of the travel show team here in whitby, it's goodbye.

if you have been holding out for some proper summer if you have been holding out for some proper summer weather, you could be in for some luck this weekend coming. the cloud has been increasing from the south—west today. we have a fair amount is applied across the sky and we have some rare moving in, too. that is courtesy of this area of low pressure that is pushing into the south—west through the rest of the afternoon. if you look at where we have had the cloud and rain, you can see the rain moving into devon, corner, temperature and up towards northern ireland. further north and east, dry conditions for the next few hours. a lot of brightness for the north of scotland and these depend on, as well. one or two showers in central and northern scotland. temperatures doing pretty well out there. a little bit cooler in the far north and west of scotland. into this evening, our attention turns to the wet weather in the south—west. initially for south—west england and wales, but

tonight it will push into northern england and northern ireland, between 20 and 50 millimetres of rain, and some thunderstorms. during the early hours of monday, the rain will push across the eastern half of scotla nd will push across the eastern half of scotland where it will be happy and persistent. up to 80 millimetres on the highest ground, enough to cause some disruption. quite a lot of blank surface water on the roads on monday. the rain will persist across northern and eastern scotland. elsewhere, some brighter or sunny spells, but the chance of seeing a hit and miss happy shower and thunderstorm. it will feel warm and humid, temperatures up to 25 in the south—east, but typically the high teen are low 20s elsewhere. enter monday evening, more rain to come for the eastern half of scotland. then the next batch of wet weather moves on from the site, bringing some pretty heavy downpours. also, a

warm, muggy feeling dates, it will be sticky and uncomfortable for sleeping, with the lowest temperature in london 18 degrees. after the thunderstorms of the next few days, high pressure will build, quieting things down. we are expecting some drier weather later this week from mid week onwards, and temperatures up to the low 30s in the south and south—west. things are hotting up, but watch out for some thunderstorms over the next few days.

this is bbc news. the headlines. there is continued focus on boris johnson's private life after he failed to answer questions about why police were called to his flat among reports of a row. it is always easier to give an explanation. i think again, the key thing is how you get onto the issues. what we cannot have a set being a distraction. the united states reportedly launched an attack on iran -- reportedly launched an attack on iran —— cyber attack. reportedly launched an attack on iran -- cyber attack. now that iran orany iran -- cyber attack. now that iran or any other hostile actor should mistake the us's couldn't for weakness. five
