hello, and welcome to the travel show with me, lucy hedges. this the military to help fight the devastating fires week, we're looking back at some of in the amazon rainforest. several european leaders have said the amazing trips and awesome they are prepared to scrap a huge adventures we've had so far on the trade agreement with south america show this year. there is just a unless brazil takes action to curb the forest fires. taste of what's coming up. you been president trump has announced further increases to trade real good to me if you can't fight. tariffs against china. in a series of angry tweets, he said a planned 25% i will do my best. are you ready to tax on billions of dollars of chinese goods would be increased to 30% from october. go now? i am ready to go now. this the move comes after beijing places like the chelsea flower show unveiled new duties on us goods. on steroids. there you go, run out, a worker at britain's consulate in hong kong who was detained by the chinese authorities run out. well, if if you enjoyed has been released. simon cheng went missing on august that will stick around and relive some of our favourite moments with the eighth during a business trip to mainland china. us. some of our favourite moments with us. we're kicking off at one of a statement on his facebook page world's favourite tv shows apart says that he will not be talking to the media at present. from this one. game of thrones ended good morning. welcome to breakfast backin from this one. game of thrones ended with rogerjohnson and tina daheley. back in may, much to the disappointment of millions of fans our headlines today: all over the world but its legacy police chiefs call an unprecedented summit lives on in northern ireland as to discuss officer safety in the wake of the murder

artificial intelligence is transforming many sectors crystal found out last month. of pc andrew hunter, of the economy and who was killed in berkshire farming is one of them. ok, so i have a confession — last week. it's hoped that precision farming i am a giant game of thrones geek. will help to reduce waste rail passengers are advised and improve welfare — and i'm super excited, to try not to travel, for example, using technology or check before they do, to track the mental health of because this place has to be top as more than 400 engineering works livestock as well as their physical of the list for any true superfan. health and also helping to decide take place across the uk. which crops are ready to harvest. welcome to castle ward, our environment correspondent claire marshall takes a closer look or to what many tv viewers is there salvation for bury? at farming's future. owner steve dale tells the bbc will know as winterfell. that the league one club has been sold. and well, when in winterfell... what are these pigs thinking? good morning. in weather, we how do they feel? this scanner acts as an eye for a machine that is analysing their expressions. arrrgh! evening my lady, where do you hail from? soon, it should allow us from london. london. to understand the pigs emotions. this technology, in its research phase, was conceived in the west country. and which house do you represent? the vision of the future of farming oh, i'm not sure i have a house. house of larwood. is one where the well—being house of larwood, never heard of them, sounds like something of the animals and their the night's watch comfort is the priority. would have dragged in. just look at the facilities here. i believe you are here to learn how to do archery. i need people to hunt or to fight. the cow's movement is monitored to check its health. 0k. are you up to the task?

i hope so. this tech is already on the market. i hope so too, otherwise the facial recognition there is a penalty. 0h. 0h, a beheading... is coming next. that seems measured. absolutely, because you are no good we will be able to see to me here at winterfell whether or not an animal if you can't hunt and you can't fight. that is lame, you can infer that i will do my best. it's going to be an unhappy animal, thank you. and whether that animal has a different face to an animal that isn't in pain. in this series, no character is safe from a grisly end, so it never hurts to know what you're doing with a bow and arrow. this select your arrows by the tip, never by the feathers and never so we are looking to further down the shaft. try to tease out those 0k? differences between the faces. think of it coming out of a quiver, here's another glimpse three fingers on the drawing string into the future. watch this disease spore. and then draw back it enters a sensor biologically so that it brings to your right eye. engineered to mimic the crop. like a kind of fire alarm, loose! all right. the sensor sets off an early alert. they can all be linked up, warning otherfarmers weeks before i hit actual thing! any damage is visible. your first arrow ever and they can be sd printed. and you hit the target. we've got some very clever, cutting edge engineering. but at the same time, 0k. there's cutting edge biology as well. and only by bringing those two archer ready. together can we actually start draw! hold... addressing what will need loose! look at that. to be done in the future. 1.3 million broccoli plants are growing on this land near doncaster. we were given exclusive access to field trials of a scouting device that gathers data yes! well done you.

about each specific plant. yeah! so this place used to be it's the latest in precision farming. most of us as consumers, a farm and yet now it's a huge tourist attraction. we don't buy wonky veg. how did that happen? if it's too big or too we are where game of thrones small or misshapen, started, so it's the perfect place the supermarkets won't accept it. we can know which plants to start your journey, are of saleable quality directly, to go on and do some of the other and then if it's too small we can sites that are around. leave it behind and if it's just yes, they have gone off to croatia, right we can harvest it. yes, they have gone off to iceland, yes, they have gone off to morocco and so on, and that's fine, but most of it is shot here. this could save millions of tonnes and it has turned into what we now know as screen tourism, something we have never had before. yes we have the giant's causeway, a unesco world heritage site of food from being wasted and it is beautiful, and all that, but people used to go there and there alone, and then they would take off. and cut pesticide use. now they come to see many other as the climate grows more unstable, scientists warn humans do need to take more care of the land. parts of our province. claire marshall, bbc news. 00:03:54,966 --> 2147483051:38:42,197 now on bbc news, 2147483051:38:42,197 --> 4294966103:13:29,430 the travel show. crystal having an epic time in northern ireland exploring game of thrones country. on the anniversary of the apollo moon landings could not pass without marking it so we went to the kennedy space center in florida to find out how it felt to be there back in 1969.

the exhibits here are authentic space—ready vehicles that in the end didn't make the into orbit, including this command service module. and this is the centrepiece. a magnificent saturn v rocketjust like the one that went to the moon. now upright, it's taller than the statue of liberty, with 7.5 million of thrust. now it's comprised of three stages, two of which were jettisoned before the astronauts returned to the earth's atmosphere. it's incredible. between 1967 and 1974, 13 missions launched using a saturn v rocket, including the ten apollo trips. this is one of only three of these rockets left in the world today. i've got to say, all that wiring and cabling, it looks really exposed and raw.

but i guess it worked. this is a lunar module for apollo 11. in charge of the engineering of the module was the aptly named charlie mars, and he says the atmosphere was electric. we were in the operations and control building at kennedy, it's where we made all the vehicles and did our tests. i can still remember to this day hearing the count from buzz aldrin, hearing what was going on, so much fuel, move so far, and the complete silence. when "the eagle has landed" you could hear the sigh in the complete room, you could hear people take a breath. tranquillity base here. the eagle has landed are words that every schoolboy of the coming generation are going to have to learn and pass on to succeeding generations.

the whole moon programme itself was all a part of politics. you know? what are we going to do to get away from this disaster in cuba and what are we going to do about all this integration activity and what are we going to do about the furore over there? we need something different for people to latch onto. well, let's go to the moon. mission control: oh, it's beautiful mike. it really is. we came from all over the world, literally, you know, into this environment and we worked our tails off for as many years. to get to the moon in the decade, you know, it required a lot of personal sacrifice. john tribes says the astronauts knew they were going to be in the public eye, but didn't quite realise how much scrutiny there would be. neil armstrong was a quiet guy but he always was a gentleman. he was always polite. that's you and neil armstrong? yep. when you've spent 50 years of your life in the public eye, neil backed away. he didn't want to sign anything, he didn't want photos taken, he just wanted to be private

person neil armstrong. at this museum in nearby titusville, consoles and various space mission memorabilia donated by astronauts and space workers are lovingly showcased. this week is very much about honouring the achievements of the past, but at the kennedy space centre, one eye is are firmly fixed on producing astronauts and technicians for the future with hands—on training experiences for younger visitors. they'll be needed. we are in a real renaissance now. the nation is building three capsules to return to the moon, two of them are being built here. we're building big rockets, state—of—the—art satellite facilities, it's a good time. because the birthplace of american spaceflight is now reinventing itself as america's spaceport. our long—term vision is to make central florida are the gateway to all of the economic activity that's going to be occurring in the solar system over the next 50—100 years.

stay with us because still to come, mike is on a mission to explore the great barrier reef. adi goes behind the scenes at a gigantic garden in dubai and! the scenes at a gigantic garden in dubai and i try my hand at a common street game in new york. run out, run out! funny how they never ask me back. let go, go back. australia's great barrier reef must be on many traveller's bucket lists but is there a sustainable way to get to explore its fragile ecosystem? well, the designers behind an innovative new sub they found the answer so we sent mike tojump on board and go for a dive. scuba—diving is an amazing way to see what's hiding underneath these waves, but if you can't scuba—dive, there are other ways you can do that too. you can snorkel, you can take a glass—bottomed boat, but there's a new kid in town. something quite exciting. this sub belongs to harvey.

he's teamed up with a rideshare app and has been hiring it out for short trips. they're just getting it ready for us now. it's still not cheap though, at a$3,000 for two passengers. what an incredible thing. that's just over us$2,000 or about £1600. this is it, the submersible. but harvey thinks this is the future. now so many more people can get underwater. you've got a tonne of people that can't for various reasons. you have a tonne of people who can't scu ba—dive. this gives people that ability to get underwater and explore and see what there is under the water. the submarine industry is still in its infancy. currently there are no other operators on this reef. many deep sea adventures in other parts of the world require you have very deep pockets. it's a small industry but it is growing and expanding. submarines are inherently expensive, the rides are fairly expensive, but it is changing and costs are coming down, price

points, things like that. aquatica is working very hard to come to market with lower cost submersibles to be able to get more of them in operation. getting into the sub. this is usually the tricky... fun and games it might be, but in the safety briefing, you are under no illusions that this is a serious piece of kit. do listen closely to the staff. do inform us of any pre—existing health conditions. do bring your camera. you've got your camera? check. i've got my camera. don't wear excessive perfume. want to smell? you smell great, we're good to go. don't bring any matches or lighters. no. don't drink lots of fluids before you dive. no bathrooms! there is no toilet! ok, i think we're good then. if you wouldn't mind hopping on the scale for me. guess my weight. i'm going to say 86. 85! dude! not bad. you win the prize. there you go, so if you wouldn't mind hopping on here. this is for trimming the submarine, we weigh all passengers, kind of like a helicopter ride. 86! i knew it. it's a tight squeeze in the three—man sub. it's actually a repurposed research vehicle and after these tourist trips it's off

to the british virgin islands to survey some of the damage left by hurricane irma. all right, are you ready to go down? i am ready to go down! here we go. we have just started the descent under the water to the great barrier reef. look at this. the water is slowly coming up and about to engulf us. ifeel a little bit nervous. once you're fully submerged i have a feeling you're going to completely forget. wow. the sub can dive to a maximum depth of 125 metres. we're just a few metres under the surface but there's still great marine life at these depths. here we have some chromis in the front, the little blue ones. in the coral. yeah, i believe those are chromis.

and we have scissor tailed sergeants or something like that, the striped ones? golden damsel, those are the yellow guys. you're good at this game. i'm getting really good. i got a chi chi. i actually this is incredible. i can see how if you were a bit scared to scu ba—dive, or maybe you have claustrophobia... i was thinking it was going to be much more claustrophobic, but it's not. the acrylicjust opens it right up. topside, please advise us when the dive boat has passed. over. can you tell us a bit about how this is powered? the submarine is fully electric. we have a 240 volt dc electrical system, electric thrusters powered by batteries. and that's about it, it's very simple. so no emissions? no, no emissions, no gas, no oil, no diesel, no nothing. it's incredibly environmentally safe.

nothing to leak into the ocean, battery powered, and we could charge her up and away we go. we all know the coral is quite fragile. is there any issue in bringing something so big down under the water? not at all. as you can see, she has tremendous control of the sub. buoyancy control and whatnot and manipulation with the thrusters. she can park it anywhere you want, can keep it nice and high off the reef and with the view you have, all travelling around, it works out very well and incredibly in control. do you want to try it? can i drive it? yeah. i mightjust grab it back if things go a little bit... wow, ok. just hold it level. i'lljust do the vertical for you, you're just going to drive. why don't you take us a little bit closer. soido... just forward. this is forward? yeah. whoa! just don't touch those ones. i'll do a little bit back, not too much. you don't want to run into the reef. that's a bad idea. i'm not qualified for this. actually, it's very much

like a playstation controller, like a video game. copy that. perfect. over. we are right in line with the jetty. we have made our whole round trip so we will pop up to the surface and head back to the dock. and it's all over. that was fun, though. some say we know more about the surface of the moon than we do the bottom of the ocean. what an opportunity this is to glimpse a world that so few people get a chance to see. well, we are off to do by now. not a place that always gives good press when it comes to sustainability.

they are making serious attempts to readd ress they are making serious attempts to readdress that. back injune we paid a trip to the most enormous garden you are likely to see that claims it ta kes you are likely to see that claims it takes sustainability very seriously. heading for the entrance here at the miracle garden, three things immediately strike you. first, the smell, then it's the colour, and then, there's the scale. this place is enormous! since it opened on valentine's day back in 2013, almost 8 million people have come to take a look around the miracle garden. and i'm off to meet the man whose idea it all was. dubai's full of surprises. where did you get your inspiration from? actually, my inspiration, first of all, i am a landscaping engineer. and since i was a child, always reading about heaven, paradise, and it is filled with flowers, so always this idea in my brain, and always when i see my kids

playing, you know, games on screens, on tv, i always... it comes to my mind, really, i need something for people to go out. so this has inspired me to create something to take people outside, to take people to nature. and it's on such a grand scale! so many flowers here! how many flowers do you have in this park? we are always sustaining above 50 million flowers. 50 million flowers?! yes. this place must take a lot of water. where do you get it from and how do you keep it sustainable? actually, we are using the recycled water from dubai municipality, so all the grey water over the city, the municipality recycle it and pump it to us, and from our side we refilter this water and convert

it to very high—quality water. and what about your challenges? what is the biggest challenge for you? actually, the biggest challenge is just the wind. if we have strong wind, it is really our best challenge. we can't control it. we can control pests, we can control irrigation, temperature, everything can be controlled but not the wind. this place is like the chelsea flower show on steroids. but you know what i'm looking forward to? to finish off, like to consider myself pretty sporty, but when it comes to a ballgame that is legendary in new york, clearly had

some things to learn. this is a bit embarrassing. if you come to the bronx in spring or summer they either tradition alive. ok, so far as they can tell, each player has three attempts to serve the ball, one attempt to edit, if they miss the ball they are out. if they hit it is about getting to first base, second base, et cetera. to keep the game going the street is closed off to traffic. there is a lot of smack talk as well. a lot of smack talk. i have been told that's my talk accou nts have been told that's my talk accounts for 90% of the game. but there is also a lot of, artery.

everyone is just having fun. it is about a barden ridge of friends getting together and hanging out —— camaraderie. how did you get into it? we all watched our baseball players. that is part of it. the other thing is it is a tradition. stickball is a tradition that has always happened in new york city. stickball is a tradition that has always happened in new york city! lot of our parents brought us into the game. my family has been playing, well, over 50 years. i remember young kid going to see my u ncles remember young kid going to see my uncles play downtown. what brought you into it? laughter. new york empress stickball league was established in the mid 805. we have got approximately 100 members playing stick ball. one of the league ‘5 founders were steve makgatho, he died in the 9/11 attacks. it was his vision to push this advanced league. us wanted it

to be an olympian event. on memorial day weekend we have teams from california coming we have teams from florida, orlando, miami, tampa, we try to uphold the vision for him. his two sons play in a league now. it is his two sons play in a league now. it i5a his two sons play in a league now. it is a legacy won't want to continue for him. ——we want to. it is a legacy won't want to continue for him. --we want to. the power of some of these swing5, you can hear it. i don't know if i am going to hit it that hard but i am going to hit it that hard but i am going to hit it that hard but i am going to give it my best shot. all right, let's go. just grab a stick. there is one right there. bit of encouragement there. all right. let it bounce once. step into the bowl. 0k! it bounce once. step into the bowl. ok! i feel like the ball clipped the back. i'm going for a clean hit this time. this time you get around the first base. now they are going to talk trash though. keep an eye on

the ball. laughter. don't 5ate! don't say it! the ball. laughter. don't sate! don't say it! ok. just to55 don't sate! don't say it! ok. just toss it out. that's good. do you go. run out! run out! let go of your bat. laughter. i think bat. laughter. ithinki bat. laughter. i think i am going to leave it to the professionals. they need a bit more practice. well, that it for this week. catch u5 more practice. well, that it for this week. catch us if you can next week when krista i5 this week. catch us if you can next week when krista is off to scotland to ta ke week when krista is off to scotland to take in some ancient buildings that are older than the pyramids. what do you think top speed is for the really accomplished oracle padlock? don't forget, you can follow us on social media where you can show your travel stories with the rest of the world. until next time though, from e, lucy hedges,

and the rest of the travel show team, it's goodbye. —— from hello there. on friday, the temperature reached 28 celsius in hull but it could be a record—breaking bank holiday weekend. we've got a lot of heat and 5un5hine to come this weekend but there is the risk still of one or two showers because not only are we drawing in the heat from the near continent around that area of high pressure, we are also increasing the humidity. and we've still got low pressure sitting towards the north—west of the uk and this weather front is hanging around too. for a while, it'll be quite breezy in the north—west corner of the uk but away from here, it looks like we'll have clearer skies and those temperatures will dip away to 11—14 degrees. now, we've still got more cloud for the north—west of scotland and northern ireland on saturday and maybe a few showers to come for the highlands and islands, as well as fermanagh and tyrone but away from here, lots of sunshine acro55 other parts of scotland

and across england and wales and that heat will build very quickly in the light wind5 and strong 5un5hine so warming up across the eastern parts of northern ireland, the central belt of scotland, highest temperatures for england and wales widely the high 205, peaking at 30 or so in the south—east of england. very warm for the ashes day three at headingley. 27 degrees or so in the afternoon in the blue skies and light wind5, and it'll be lovely end to the day for many parts of the country. a fine evening to come. the showers in the north—west and across northern ireland, probably tending to fade away overnight. some of the cloud will drift its way into western parts of england and wales, mind you. probably not producing any showers and temperatures again, 1144. there is the risk of one or two showers popping off from this cloud, for west wales and south—west of england and northern ireland but it's a lower risk and you can 5ee elsewhere there should be a lot of sunshine again, light wind5, that heat building further north into scotland with the sunshine in the north—west as well but again, the higher temperatures probably in the midlands, eastern england, 30 or 31 around the london area. on monday, while we've got the risk of a shower, that too is reduced. still, a lot of uncertainty about monday. there could be one or two showers around but on the whole it looks

like it's going to be dry and sunny. not quite as warm perhaps acro55 western scotland and northern ireland, western fringes of england and wales, but the heat is still there towards the east and south—east and again, we could be close to 30 degrees. some uncertainty then through monday and into the beginning of next week. the threat of showers coming up from the south reduced. this weather front is going to bring rain into scotland and northern ireland 5lowly but surely, but still largely dry 00:24:21,652 --> 4294966103:13:29,430 and warm in the south—east.
