this is bbc news, the headlines: russia's arctic north and far east are being ravaged by huge wildfires — with up to four million hectares ablaze, and vast areas engulfed by smoke. fires are common at this time of year, but record—breaking summer temperatures and strong winds have made this year particularly bad. us president donald trump has said his choice for the new director of national security, john ratcliffe, has withdrawn from considerationjust five days after he was nominated for the role. critics said that mr ratcliffe lacked the expertise and experience to take on the role. crowds in puerto rico are celebrating the formal resignation of the island's governor, ricardo rossello. he agreed to stand down as governor in the face of mass protests over vulgar text messages he shared with his advisers. he will be replaced by pedro pierluisi. the governor of the bank of england,

mark carney, has warned that many businesses could quickly find they are not viable, if the uk leaves the eu without a deal at the end of october. he also told the bbc that food and fuel prices could rise, and incomes could also be hit. andy verity reports. it isn't your usual halloween nightmare, but the fear is that come 31 october a no—deal brexit could lead to a slowdown in imports entering the country. this time it could also hit firms hard, making many of them unprofitable. mark carney says he's not playing up the scare. with no deal, the shock to the economy is instantaneous and that instantly you have the supply — notjust disruptions — so i'm not talking aboutjust the issues at the ports, which are real, but you actually have businesses that no longer are economic. the well—known risk is that a shift

to the world trade organisation regime means higher tariffs added to imported or exported goods. but what mark carney‘s saying is that it could also be inflationary in other ways. mark carney has highlighted two things that could happen in a no—deal brexit, one is that the pound gets weaker, so your pound buys you fewer dollars or euros to buy imported goods with, so those prices go up. the other thing that could happen is that the supply of goods from abroad going through our ports and airports slows down, and that too could push up prices. it may take a while to get to borisjohnson‘s vision of sunlit uplands after no—deal brexit, mr carney said, because the weaker pound expected on the markets may hit consumers‘ purses and wallets at petrol stations, forecourts, and grocery stores. but his own data shows most businesses are now as prepared as they can be. and mr carney‘s view isn't the only one. i think it's important to note there are different types

of no—deals. and mark carney seems to be talking about the worst possible type which i don't think is actually going to happen because some businesses have done some preparations. and it would actually be useful if rather than just throw us a few scary soundbites now and then, mark carney and his team at the bank could actually provide a full set of forecasts of what they actually think would happen. there's no sign yet that the bank of england is ready to do that. no need to really scare people — it's not halloween yet. andy verity, bbc news. it's 5:33, now on bbc news, it's time for the travel show. coming up on this week but my travel show, we are in the uk, a place that a tt ra cts show, we are in the uk, a place that attracts almost a0 million visitors attracts almost a0 million visitors a year. more than half of them will add the london, but this week we're going off the beaten path, exploring some of written‘s best kept secrets, now being discovered by travellers. we begin in northern ireland, where

forgotten places are being visited after it television programme. —— after it television programme. —— after a hit. before heading to england where cat is retracing the footsteps of the men who carved out the lake district's amazing landscape. my legs are shaking, either because i am older because i am nervous. “— either because i am older because i am nervous. —— cold or because. either because i am older because i am nervous. -- cold or because. then we are in scotland with a man who is ona we are in scotland with a man who is on a mission to walk the entire coastline of the uk. we start in northern ireland, in cou nty we start in northern ireland, in county down, because here in places once rarely visited, something unexpected is happening. now, people are coming from across the world,

and it is all because of one television programme. game of thrones. one of the biggest in history. in the fantasy series, of which the eighth and final season concluded this year, different houses battled to claim one ultimate throne. it was here in remote locations south of the busy capital of belfast that many of the programme's most iconic scenes were filmed. an where some of its cast can still be found. so i have a confession, i am a giant game of thrones geek. and i am super excited because this place has to be top of the list for any true super fan. welcome to castle water, or to what

many tv new is will know as winterfell. —— there was. and when in winterfell. .. winterfell. —— there was. and when in winterfell... hello my lady, where do you hell from? from london. london. and which has to you represent? of larwood. never heard of them, something that sounds like something the night watch would have dragged in. i believe you are here to do archery. i need people to hunt oi’ to do archery. i need people to hunt or to fight. are you up to the task? i hope so. i hope so too, otherwise there is a penalty. beheading... that seems measured. absolutely, you are no good to me here at winterfell if you can't hunt fight. are no good to me here at winterfell if you can't hunt fightli are no good to me here at winterfell if you can't hunt fight. i will do my best. in this series, no character is safe from a grisly end,

so character is safe from a grisly end, so it never hurts to know what you are doing with a bow and arrow. select your arrows by the tip, never by the fellows are never by the shaft. give it coming out of a quiver, three fingers on the string and then draw back... so that it brings to your right arm. all right! i hit the thing! your first arrow and you hit the target. ok. archer ready. draw! hold... loose! look at that. yes! well done. so this place is to be a farm and yet now it is a huge tourist attraction. out of that happen? when game of thrones it started, it is your perfect place to started, it is your perfect place to start your journey, yes started, it is your perfect place to start yourjourney, yes they have gone off to iceland, yes they went to morocco and so on, and that's fine, but most of it is shot here. and it has turned into what we know

as screen tours, we are a unesco world heritage site and it is beautiful, but people used to go there alone, and it would never take off. now they have come to see many other parts of our province. and we'll be finding out more about these sites later in the programme. but first we had across the irish sea to england's lake district where cat moh reports. here in the uk's biggest national park, in the mountainous rugged lake district, you will find a green and beautiful landscape this country is known for. but there is also something else. scars to the mountainsides tell the story of the defining industrial area for the country and the communities in this region. at the uk's last working slate mind, travellers can come to walk in the

treacherous footsteps mining workers used to take up the mountain. they call it the via ferrata. but first i wa nted call it the via ferrata. but first i wanted to see what life was like for these miners working deep within the network of mining tiles before modern machinery transformed the practice of extracting slate. it's a bit low down here. wow! look at this! it's absolutely amazing space... i can hear my voice echoing off the rocks. it represents a huge area where they found an off a huge area where they found an off a lot of good rock, and it also represents something i! a lot of good rock, and it also represents something 11 miles of tunnels and caverns. i can't imagine how long it would have taken to carve out a space this union here. it's a huge amount of time. paint a picture for me of what it would have been like back in its heyday. one

was that? back in its heyday after the first world war when production was getting going again and had built up some 2000 tons of roofing slate produced per year, and that would have been in places like this, let by early carbide lamps which is the next generation of lamps after using just candlelight, we would have the dust of the rock in their lungs, and they always have the potential, when you are working the rock, for it to come down to your head which would have been covered ina head which would have been covered in a cloth. back out of the mine it is time to head up to the via ferrata. the old minor‘s roots start way over here, and the only way to get there is in this narrow bridge. my my mouth has gone really dry. and it gets worse. it is me first. here we

go... this is where it gets interesting. you are doing really well. ok... how high are we? we are 3000 feet above sea level, approximately. we are quite high up from the road, the cars i like micro machines from here. these cars look tinier. probably is in the best conversation to be having while we go over this. —— isn't. at over 150 metres, this bridge is the longest of its kind in britain, and as i creep my way across, i could not he w0 re creep my way across, i could not he wore aware of every remaining step to go. —— not be more aware of every remaining step ago. ok, i can do this, about eight feet. just keep

breathing... ok, all right. this is really ha rd. breathing... ok, all right. this is really hard. oh gosh. with the wind alleging the bridge from side to side, i have to be so careful when i put my feet. oh my gosh! this winter! ok? yeah, just waiting for the wind blow past me. if i actually stop and think about it, the view is amazing up here. but to be honest, i haven't really been concentrating on the view so much as my feet in my arms so i don't fall into the view. actually it is really quite long. now i can appreciate the view. it is so pretty! well done.

woohoo! iamso i am so proud! i would jump forjoy but it is a bit windy still. we did it! while cat catches her breath we are headed to the very north tip of scotla nd are headed to the very north tip of scotland where one man has taken on an even bigger challenge. i have seen the land and the

landscape completely different, i feel more connection now with the uk now has a hole than i ever have in my entire life. my name is krista lewis, and this is my dog, and we are working the entire coastline of the united kingdom. —— walking. i started in swansea, united kingdom isn't just one started in swansea, united kingdom isn'tjust one island, there is loads of separate islands of the united in fact 700 of the west coast of scotland, so we have tackled those as well, so we're the north—west coast of scotland, just about to turn the corner and having been a move now for two years, so i reckon about another 1.5 years until we finish. we are on the mall of kintyre now heading... you would be very surprised to hear that the uk coast, including the islands in northern ireland is about 18,000 miles. to put that into perspective, if you were to fly around the world

as the current lies, that is around 25,000 miles. —— as the crow flies. before i started as i suffered really badly with depression, i had anxiety and this went on for a long time. i said to myself one day, are becoming out and looking down the cliffs and i thought to myself, walking. i started walking along the coast, and i have been going for two yea rs coast, and i have been going for two years now. i have got a lot to think this place for. there is no plan, really is the simple, i keep the seat to my left—hand side and eventually that will take me around where i need to be. i go as far as my legs can take each day, and a camp wheni my legs can take each day, and a camp when i think it's time to camp, andi camp when i think it's time to camp, and i repeat the process the next day. i show you where i slept last night, not complaining at all. jeff, my dog, rescued her on their

way. she wasn't in the best when i had her. very thin, very skinny. there was immediate connection between us. they felt that kind of brokenness in her. that may be i had felt before. we bonded immediately. some of the stuff she tackles on this coast i wouldn't ask another human to do. we have such complete trust for one another if ida guehai do something anai don't claim something before inu which is shooting past me me ——if i don't know and claim. i havejust arrived in gretna. which means scotland. stupidly happy. the wonderful thing about the united kingdom is that every single part of the united kingdom that you go to there is a change and it's not subtle, it's there in yourface. mother of zeus. good afternoon, guys. if a really wet one today. nice to have the scottish weather back. oh my goodness.

hailstones and they hurt like hell. some of my favourite moments on this walk have been when i was getting smashed from side to side and i have watched the seas and the waters and they see how powerful it is. oh my word. they feel so old and haggard. yeah, obviously i'm not feeling well at all... i started this work with £10 in two days worth of rations. i've pretty much relied on foraging and this kind of stuff. on anglesey are realised they did not know enough. they ended up doing the full 126 miles with nothing to eat. they have been coming around anglesey since sunday, monday, it's a cracker. i'm a bit annoyed at myself that day smashed around. but they had my reasons. yeah, that was a big mistake. they lost a lot of weight

and was very ill after that week. lesson learned. making my way up the west coast. good afternoon, folks. look at this. i am on an island on my own and this family came up and brought me christmas dinner by vote. iam going brought me christmas dinner by vote. i am going to see if they will have dinner with me. i am going from one of the most isolated people, scared to go to the shops, to be one of the most confident, outgoing, happiest person you will ever meet. why do think this is a lifestyle now. so this will never end for me. —— i do thing. now it is a great lifestyle. i don't have tvs or anything. they don't need one, do i? welcome back. as we continue our look into the far—flung corners of the uk, i'm back with the game of throws fa ns the uk, i'm back with the game of throws fans in county down. it's

amazing as we're through here how many people will are wearing the big case for game of thrones, clearly because game of thrones was filmed here. it is such a big area. did you come to this part of the world because of game of thrones? here. northern ireland is a fascinating country. lots of history. if not for game of thrones are probably would not have come all this way. really argue like a big fan? on a scale of one to ten like an 11. i'm 2a, travelling alone, my father grab during the troubles so he thought it was absolutely insane. but he has seen all my photos and it has been a great trip stop over three decades up great trip stop over three decades up until 1998 northern ireland enjoyed a violent and deadly conflict known as the troubles. since then a kind of dark tourism

exploring the locations and rules of the conflict now a more positive story to tell about that. you are going to go meet him later on. he is not a copy anymore. it is stilljust as cute. the runt anymore. it is stilljust as cute. the ru nt of anymore. it is stilljust as cute. the runt of the litter. that one is yours. the big draw behind my coach tour were local celebrities. william played a walk in the programme, but it is two dogs that people come from around the world to me. who do we have here? this is and is thor. aren't you beautiful. so fluffy. shall we take them for a walk? it has changed from being only a couple of dogs to suddenly you have a tourism operator now. well, you

know, people started wanting to meet them. they contacted us through social media and we decided that instead of them coming to our house we had to make it more official. so my brothers and i started up are intracompany. tell us a little bit about the impact game of thrones has had on your community. county down, thing, was one of the least visited tourist ways counties in ireland. now we think it is one of the highest because of game of thrones. -- i think. you look like a game of thrones extra. i was contracted to keep this while filming. my whole family have long hair. i am a massive game of thrones fan. well, while a finish my walk with odin and thor, we end with cat who is getting hands—on. so, apparently, the traditional practice of splitting slate has barely changed in generations. in

the workshop they now split 100 tons of ita the workshop they now split 100 tons of it a year. paul here is arriving at the rock, that is our word for splitting. and the beauty of this rock is that it doesn't split so beautifully into roofing slates. now, i have an idea would you like to have a go yourself? sure. we'll have to pay for this later by roorda? absolutely! -- pay for this late if they ruin it. i am told it ta kes a late if they ruin it. i am told it takes a lifetime to learn a skill. they start anywhere in the middle rather than anywhere on the edge? you didn't see that! love. you want to have it dead straight. more? you just want to make a line. just keep going. it's actually quite tricky

keeping the chisel straight. can you hear that change? yes. again feel it in my hands as well. they can hear it. there you are. give it a little twist and make there you go. you have just split a slate. it looks absolutely glorious. if you like they have done a workout. we have not actually started, have we? back with my guide, jenny, it is time to continue on to the old miners route up continue on to the old miners route up the mountain. they can see why you love climbing around her. up the mountain. they can see why you love climbing around henm up the mountain. they can see why you love climbing around her. it is pretty fa ntastic you love climbing around her. it is pretty fantastic and it is always changing some of the lake district stop it was changing just then. the miners route goes all the way up there. is that actually what they did? this incline that you can see there is basically following the footsteps of the miners that they used to take to work. these but

admits that we have only fell side as well. i think! admits that we have only fell side as well. i think i emirati. admits that we have only fell side as well. ithinki emirati. -- admits that we have only fell side as well. i think! emirati. -- these battered bits. shall we do this? turn it down. ok. i don't know if my legs are shaking because i'm cold, because i'm nervous, or because they're because i'm nervous, or because they‘ re really because i‘m nervous, or because they‘ re really exhausted because i‘m nervous, or because they‘re really exhausted from the bridge still. just watch that clip there. ok. things are getting real now. while i‘m safe and hooked on, i know that one wrong step on these thenit know that one wrong step on these then it metal bars could see me test my harness much more than i would like. the miners wouldn‘t have claimed the wall this way. this isjust the miners wouldn‘t have claimed the wall this way. this is just for fun. but i am told this section does help

travellers get a sense of the type of dangerous terrain they faced every day. make sure you leave a bit of space again for your next foot. that was make it. then step up. how doido that was make it. then step up. how do i do this next bit? you can use the rock again. just a big step. here we go. and, finally, i‘m up and onto the miners footpath. that's it! just making our way up the incline now. so this is part of the well trodden route they used to take? indeed. walking the miners foot path it is amazing to think what this must have been like four generations of people working this incredible landscape. 0k, it landscape. ok, it sounds good. and as my time in northern ireland comes to a

close, i know it is thanks to amazing people like the ones we met along the way that so many people —— hidden places this country has to offer will continue to be revealed. wow. what a view. look at that. the bottom of the world. is that scotla nd bottom of the world. is that scotland over there? it is! it is scotla nd scotland over there? it is! it is scotland you can see. the severe flood warning remains in force for whaley bridge dam, and the showers that developed faded through the night replaced by mr local over the east coast, mist and fog inland which were clear quite quickly and for the vast

majority is a dry, bright day with bright spells of sunshine. but there will be showers around for northern ireland today, compared with recent days, and they could be the odd one developing the north wales, northern england, even the odd heavy thundery one across the hills of scotland. but the most, it is dry and warm, we could see 25 again in southern and eastern areas. by sunday however, the chances are we will see some heavy downpours, initially northern ireland but moving across into north wales, northern england and scotland, from the midlands, lincolnshire northwood is where the met office have a warning for the heavy rain, or slow—moving thundery downpours, largely fine and very warm in the south and east.
