this is bbc news, the headlines: rescuers in the bahamas are searching the island of great abaco, for the bodies of people killed by hurricane dorian. hundreds are still missing. a relief operation is under way with un, us and british involvement. however, some communities haven't yet been reached — and are in desperate need. india's attempt to land a spacecraft on the moon appears to have failed. scientists lost contact with the landerjust as it was about to touch down on the lunar surface. the unmanned vikram probe was above the moon's south pole when data stopped transmitting from the spacecraft. the british prime minister's demand for an early general election looks set to be rejected, after opposition parties agreed to block it when it's put to mps on monday. they said that preventing the uk leaving the eu without a deal at the end of october is their priority.

the parents of a severely brain—damaged 5—year—old girl are going to the high court on monday to try to persuade judges to allow them to take their daughter abroad. tafida raqeeb is on a life—support machine at the royal london hospital. doctors there will argue that further treatment is futile. our medical correspondent fergus walsh reports. # here i am, here i am... tafida was a bright and lively girl until february, when she suffered a ruptured blood vessel due to a rare condition. now, she is kept alive on a ventilator and fed through a tube. barts nhs trust says she has very serious, permanent and irreversible brain damage, and there is no further treatment to help her. but tafida's mother believes video taken in intensive care shows that she is responsive, and simply needs more time to recover.

she and her husband want permission to transfer tafida to an italian hospital. it is my main argument that she continues to improve. why would you want end a child's life when she shows signs that she wants to live? she wants to continue with life. at the high court, barts nhs trust will ask permission to remove life support. a judge will have to decide what is in tafida's best interests. some will question how the courts can ever rule that it is in a child's best interests to die. surely that contradicts the sanctity of life. butjudges here must also consider potential pain and suffering, and whether simply prolonging a sick child's life will bring them any benefits. this case echoes those of charlie gard and alfie evans, which involved lengthy legal battles between parents and hospitals.

in each of those cases, the courts backed doctors and life support was withdrawn. this is the fifth high—profile case to come to court in as many years, and they're desperately sad and difficult cases. the problem is that, whilejudges have been recommending mediation, if there is no common ground between the parents and the doctors, then it has to be up to the courts to decide. once again, the courts are having to intervene between parents and doctors, and a judge decide whether a child should live or die. fergus walsh, bbc news. it's 5:33am. now on bbc news it's time for the travel show, which this week is in switzerland at the world's biggest wine festival. coming the world's biggest wine festival. up on this week\ programme, coming up on this week was my programme, iam coming up on this week was my programme, i am in switzerland at one of the world ‘s most colourful and crazy wine festivals. the sun is

blazing, i'm so hot, i'm melting, totally worth it. this atmosphere! we are in london with the city's longest serving waitress. we are in london with the city's longest serving waitresslj we are in london with the city's longest serving waitress. i have served the beatles, stones, freddie mercury, pete townsend, eric cla pton, mercury, pete townsend, eric clapton, so many, and jackie and joan collins, they were my favourite. we are in the philippines with people who risk their lives preserving a dangerous art. plus i will be finding out while the natural wine movement is on the rise. —— finding out why. that's really nice.

hello and welcome to the travel show, with me lucy hedges. this week iam in show, with me lucy hedges. this week i am in vevey, a small swiss town on the shores of lake geneva, as it hosts the world's biggest and perhaps most infrequent wine festival. as well as being home to unesco project did vineyards, equity was known for its living tradition, the fete des vignerons. three weeklong celebration of wine that transforms the town. while switzerland might not spring to mind when you think of wine, they actually produce about 100 million litres per year, exporting only 2% of it. it is said that during the fete des vignerons, visitors to this unsuspecting lakeside town work their way through, are you ready, over half a million bottles of wine. the festival itself began as a festival

hosted by an ancient brotherhood to reward the best winemaking in the region and it takes locals a to recover as the festival only takes place once every 20—25 years. the fete des vignerons began in 1797 as a small parade through the streets of vevey. but because of unrest in the region over the next couple of decades, the next event was not organised for another 22 years. a cycle that has remained ever since. unbelievably, this yea r‘s cycle that has remained ever since. unbelievably, this year's fate is only that 12 festival since then, with each year's show growing in size and spectacle. today the climax of the celebration is a daily show that takes place in a specially built stadium, and features over 5000 volunteers. and this year, the show has been created by the man behind cirque du soleil. i am loving

the vibe out here, there are people in costumes, props everywhere. as the creator of this incredible show, what will be an incredible show, what will be an incredible show, what is it like creating something that only happens once every 20 yea rs 7 that only happens once every 20 years? it is something very unusual, and it is like really a theatre show, but with 5000 actors, maybe 6000, something like that. you can be very precise and tell the story, or you can try to find a different thing to bring them like in a strange journey. it is about using your imagination, not doing things conventionally, doing things outside the box, having fun with it, basically? yeah. so with 5000 people in your show, do you think you have room for one more? dance with your

hands, do this... yeah (laughs). does that mean i am in?! hands, do this... yeah (laughs). does that mean i am in? i mean! the show itself represents a year life ofa show itself represents a year life of a vineyard, and in order to have enough roles for that many volunteers, it means even the bugs and birds get their moment in the spotlight. so took me through what i'm going to be doing. you will be a starling dancer. the idea is that your upper body is completely separated from your lower body, and that your arms feel like wings. you make that look really easy. i think iam make that look really easy. i think i am getting it. you are looking great. i am i am getting it. you are looking great. iam being honest, you are getting it. iam believing great. iam being honest, you are getting it. i am believing you. at the minute, i feel like getting it. i am believing you. at the minute, ifeel like i am a bit stiff, especially on the left—hand side, but i have time to perfect my wingspan movement. i am quite looking forward to getting involved in the show, so bring it on. i have

my moves, now it is time to get my costu me. my moves, now it is time to get my costume. these are huge! how do i look? you are amazing! (laughs). then the three—hour extravaganza began. the crowd sounds huge. a little bit scary. the first—ever festival for this held a capacity of 2000 people, iam about this held a capacity of 2000 people, i am about to perform in front of almost 20,000 people! showtime! it was not until i ran out into the stadium that the olympic scale of the show truly sank in. the sun is

blazing, it is so hot, i am melting. totally worth it! look at this atmosphere! i can't think of another place where multiple generations from one family get the chance to be involved in such an epic experience together. this really means a lot to a lot of people, a lot of emotions running high, and i can see why. (applause). the choreography was not as important in the end, everyone was restyling, but it looks really good and what an honour to take part in some thing that only happens once every 20 year. i won't be this limber in 20 years i tell you that now! now to london, and a tradition that

does not go back quite as far as the swiss event, but nevertheless has become a bit of an institution. attracting celebrities from across the globe. the city's original hard rock cafe opened its doors in 1971, and we caught up with its longest serving waitress, who started on day one and never left good morning, how are you today, come insert. my name is rita billington gilligan, i am 78 yea rs is rita billington gilligan, i am 78 years old, and i have been here for the past 48 years. i have a gold leaf burger and it is absolutely fabulous. i was in the back garden with my husband in 1971, and he spotted an advert on the evening standard paper, and they were looking for a waitress with a boundless personality. i came down and as! boundless personality. i came down and as i approached there was a guy in the door, long hair and a pair of jeans, and!

in the door, long hair and a pair of jeans, and i said are you the headwaiter of the manager? he said i am the founder, peter walk peter morgan. i said am the founder, peter walk peter morgan. isaid i am the founder, peter walk peter morgan. i said i am the best you will get, he sat back in his chair, gave me a high—5, want you to start now full now my darling, this is the world's best steak, gold leaf. i will be back to double check, enjoy. if you came in and wanted a cup of coffee, you walk out the door with a memory. life is all about memories. i want people to know that they are in london, and whether they are spending £1 in london, and whether they are spending e1 of £500, i in london, and whether they are spending £1 of £500, i treat every customer the same. now my darling, this is the sparkling blue hawaii. you enjoy it, ok? i have served the beatles, the stones, freddie mercury, eric clapton, pete townsend, take that, god, jackie and joan collins, they were my

favourite, they were fantastic deserves. eric clapton came in a few yea rs deserves. eric clapton came in a few years ago, deserves. eric clapton came in a few yea rs ago, because deserves. eric clapton came in a few years ago, because he gave his first guitar the hard rock, print —— pecans and had about this and he sent his down with a note a week later saying that mine is just as good. they gave me a job in 1971, a job that i have walked in and every second minute, hour of the day i have enjoyed every second of it. they were my darling, whenever you are ready to pay me, come back, and bring yourfriends, great are ready to pay me, come back, and bring your friends, great to see you. well, stay with us here on the travel show, because coming up: we will be meeting the filipino islanders keeping a perilous tradition alive. plus i will be asking just what goes into natural wine? hello, would you like... oh my

god! i was not expecting that! at all. i think as far as entrances go, that was quite extravagant. now you might not notice about me but i absolute the love fondue. i am in heaven right now, and usually this is a kind of meal that is communal, but honestly i have no problem consuming all of this by myself. if you have never had the pleasure of having fondue, what you have here is a burner at the bottom that keeps it is consistently melted and smooth and delicious and cheesy, and what you do is grab some bread, or eat it with meat or vegetables, whack it on yourfork, dip it in the with meat or vegetables, whack it on your fork, dip it in the cheesy goodness, and let heaven take over.

that is delicious. next up, we headed to the philippines to meet islanders who have maintained a unique art for generations. they risk their lives climbing up cliff faces with their bare hands. we went to find out why this dangerous tradition continues.

now, iam heading now, i am heading to the swiss alps to meet a winemaker who is doing things a little bit differently. peter set up his vineyard when the natural wine movement was taking. but now it is creeping into wine lists in most of the world ‘s best restau ra nts. lists in most of the world ‘s best restaurants. there is no official definition as to what makes a natural wine but it is all about low intervention, letting nature do the work without using any additives and

chemicals. peter is a good example of this. that was quite the track. i am used to vineyard being more tidy. there are rambles, bushes, more going on. this is not your typical vineyard. the thing is to have living space for nature. there is a method behind the wildness? there is definitely a method. we do not need any fertiliser, it comes from the greens we have planted you. it is a beehive. this is for wild bees and we put these holes and they put their eggs into the holes. but you're actually doing something for the planet as well. we have increased biodiversity and in this area is one of the most by diverse

areas in the country. i am starting to see what you are talking about. this is definitely your patch, this isn't. it looks quite barren. this way, wildflowers, bees, butterflies. this is the traditional way of winegrowing, for the last 50 years and more. and while our opinions looked exactly like this, and production. we took out half the wines to make space and to give light. peter has clearly put a lot of effort into making his wines as wild as possible. they are home to 64 species of butterflies, his vineyard. but having never tried natural wine, i looking forward to tasting how it differs from the wine iam tasting how it differs from the wine i am used to. this is a white wine.

if you seek, the colour is more like golden. they call it like orange. not what you would expect when someone says not what you would expect when someone says white wine. in the old days there were four colours, red, white, rose and orange. when we did this wine we broke all the rules. it is like doing it all in the wrong way and it comes down to this. that is really nice. it is quite tangy but really flavoursome and very different to the white wines i'm used to. i have never heard of orange wine before. i did not know it existed so i am learning something also. you can only make this type of natural wine is a continuation of your work in the vineyard. you need a stable system where you do not interfere. every bottle is made by billions of

microorganisms which is why collett living fine. —— a living wine. microorganisms which is why collett living fine. -- a living wine. the next one is illusion. it tastes like red and red is my favourite. next one is illusion. it tastes like red and red is my favouritem next one is illusion. it tastes like red and red is my favourite. it is difficult to describe with adjectives that happens inside your mouth. a lot of young people never drink wine but they come to natural wines and say, i like it. speaking to peter has made me realise that natural winemaking is as much a philosophy as it is a process. that pa rt philosophy as it is a process. that part of the excitement within the movement is the unpredictability of nature which makes it possible different from the last, something traditional winemakers have spent centuries trying to avoid. he has also made it clear that even the wildness of venus need taming —— vineyards. if you do not manage it,

it is all overgrown and after a few yea rs it is all overgrown and after a few years there is nothing there. so it is controlled wildness. it is myjob to manoeuvre the rover backwards, to flatten the grass which would then act as fertiliser but i have never been that good at reversing. this is a lot harder to manoeuvre than i thought. i have done many things for the travel show but driving a tractor backwards down the swiss alps, definitely was not in the original job description but i think i nailed it. i think it is meant to say that a lot of us have expectations of how

wine should taste based on what we have been told so it is quite a refreshing and fascinating experience to meet people like peter and to see that by using different methods, not only is he helping the environment but also shaking up the wine industry. coming up next week: we go to amsterdam to see researchers restoring rembrandt in front of the public. all of this scrutiny and all of this work for one artist. i really think he would think we are crazy. make sure you catch that and, in the meantime, check us out on social media but for now from me and the rest of the team, it is goodbye.

hello there. for many of us the weekend is fair, it will be mostly dry with some sunshine but there will also be a few showers. we have one or two around at the moment, north scotland, northern ireland, north wales and north—west england. if you are heading outside here, might be worth taking an umbrella with you. showers will be fleeting in nature so they won't last very long in any one place. for some of us then it will be a chilly start to the weekend, particularly across north—eastern areas, but it is a mostly dry prospect, those showers will continue for a time, northern ireland, north wales, north—west england, perhaps sneaking into the midlands. we may well see a few light showers pop up later in the day across east anglia and south—east england. but still for the vast majority it is a dry day with sunny spells — that said we have a cool northerly wind so temperatures just 13 degrees

in aberdeen, the highest temperatures towards the south—west, where 19 in cardiff and plymouth should feel pretty pleasant throughout the afternoon. saturday night is going to turn to be quite a cold night, with clear skies, light winds, temperatures will get down to about 3 celsius or so in newcastle, perhaps a few patches of frost in eastern scotland and north—east england, in the very coldest areas. so sunday does promise to be a cold start for this time of year. for most of us a lovely start today, plenty of sunshine, a bit of cloud will bubble up, but across the north—west wuite a change here for northern ireland and west scotland as a warm front moves in, that cloud will bring the threat of a bit of light, patchy drizzle for a time, quite misty around some of our western hills and coasts. temperatures coming up a bit across north—east england, so not quite as chilly but the highest temperatures further south. monday's weather dominated by this area of low pressure, the low pressure itself is forming really across england and wales, so there is quite a degree of uncertainty exactly where the heaviest rain will be

and how far east it gets. the forecast could change but the general idea is that monday is going to be quite an unsettled day for many of us, rain at times and temperatures not too impressive, highs of 14—16 degrees. that's our weather, but take a quick look now at hurricane dorian, this is the last port of call, dorian is going to make another landfall, this time in canada's nova scotia. gusts about 100mph. that's the last you'll hear of dorian, it will spin up to iceland where it will be an area of low pressure, it is not coming to the uk — but this might. this is expected to be hurricane dorian. it will turn into a normal area of low pressure, but later in the week that could effect our weather.

good morning. welcome to breakfast with rogerjohnson and sally nugent. our headlines today: a call for schools in england to open at evenings and weekends. the children's commissioner says they'll be safe spaces to keep pupils away from gangs and violence. hundreds of people could be trapped as floodwaters rise after hurricane dorian lashes north carolina. mps from across the political divide are ready to go to court to force the prime minister to seek a delay to brexit. late wickets leave england in trouble in the fourth ashes test. they're still nearly 300 runs behind australia,

so they face a battle to save the match and the series.
