about the number of young people who've died after taking diet pills containing a highly toxic substance. dinitrophenol — known as dnp — is sold online as a fat burning slimming aid — but in the uk it's illegal to sell for human consumption. adina campbell reports. it's a poisonous substance mainly used as a pesticide, but dnp is growing in popularity as a quick fix weight loss aid — with dangerous health effects. in 2018, there were six deaths linked to dnp in the uk. 21—year—old bethany shipsey had complex body image issues after being raped and emotionally abused by an ex—boyfriend, which led to a number of suicide attempts. in 2017 she took her own life. overdosing on pills containing dnp that she bought online. since his daughter's death,

doug shipsey has been trying to trace the source of the dnp. bethany ordered the pills from ukraine. police raided this flat and found a stash of chemical substances. a man was arrested and later released without charge. dnp is not illegal to produce or sell in ukraine. in the uk, it is legal for industrial purposes. doug shipsey has come to ukraine to find out more about his daughter's death. i haven't had time to grieve beth yet, and i'm trying to getjustice for her and trying to prevent this happening to other young people, which is what will give myself, my wife and my family closure. doug is here to meet the man who he believes is responsible for his daughter's death. who is this? yeah, you sold her the dnp that killed her. i watched her die,

in hospital, in four hours. i'm really sorry. if i could do anything... if i knew... he admits selling the dnp, but said he never intended the substance to be used for suicide, and is not responsible for betha ny‘s death. all i want to say is i really feel sad. it just was a small business idea. it was just for money. i hope you remember these eyes for the rest of your life. that's what we needed to hear. is this the end of the journey for you? certainly not. dnp is still freely available on the internet. adina campbell, bbc news, in ukraine. now on bbc news it's time for the travel show, which this week is in switzerland at the world's biggest wine festival. i'm in switzerland at one of the countries most famous wine festival.

plus, i will find out why the natural white movement is on the rise. i'm in a small swiss town celebrating a wine festival. plus, i will find out why the natural white movement is on the rise.

i'm in a small swiss town celebrating a wine festival. as well as being home to vineyards, this city is known for its living tradition. a three week celebration of wine that transforms the town. they produce 100 million litres a year. visitors to this lakeside town worked their way through over half a million bottles of wine.

the festival itself began as a one—day feast hosted by an brotherhood. as a way to reward the best way make in the region. it clearly takes the locals a while to recover as a festival only takes place once every 20 to 25 years. this began in 1797, as a small parade through the streets. but because of unrest in the region, the next couple of decades, the next event wasn't organised for another 22 years. a cycle that has remained ever since. unbelievably, this year's fate is only the 12 festival since then, with each year's so —— show growing in silence pedicle. today, the climax of the celebration of the daily show that takes place in

a stadium and features over 5000 volunteers and this year the show has been created by the man behind cirque du soleil. i'm loving the vibe back here. there are people in costumes, props everywhere. as the creator of this incredible show, what is it like creating something that only happens once every 20 yea rs 7 it is something very unusual. it is like a theatre show but with 5000 actors, may be more, 6000, something like that. you can be very precise and tell the story about the people, or you can try to find a different form, to bring them like in a strange journey. using your imagination, not doing things conventionally, doing things a little bit outside the box, having fun, basically. yes. with 5000 people in your show, do you think

you've got room for one more? dance with your hands. dance with my hands? do this. yes. am i in? you are in. iam in. the show represents a year in the life of the vineyard and in order to have enough else for that many volunteers, even the bugs and birds get their moment in the spotlight. you are going to be a dancer. your upper body is completely separated from the lower body. you are definitely getting it, i am believing you. i've i feel like i'm a little bit stiff, especially in the left—hand side, i've got time to perfect my wing movement, i am looking forward to getting involved in the show so bring it on.

i've got my moves, time to get my costume. these are huge. how do i look? am i working it? then, the three hour extravaganza began. it had a capacity of 2000 people. showtime.

i'm about to perform in front of almost 20,000 people! showtime! it wasn't until i ran out into the stadium that the olympic scale of the show truly sank in. the sun is blazing, it's 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 wasn't as important in the end, everyone was restyling, but it looked really good and what an honour to take part in some thing that only happens once every 20 year. i ain't going to 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, rita gilligan, who started on day one and never left. good morning, sir, how are you today? just come in, sir. my name is rita gilligan mbe, i am 78 years old, and i'm working here at the hard rock for the past 48 years. i tell you, i've got the gold leaf burger and it is absolutely fabulous. i was in the back garden with my husband, 1971, and he spotted an advert on the evening standard paper, and they were looking for waitresses

with bundles of personality. so i came down, i'd worked in every hotel along here and, as i approached, there was a guy standing at the door, long hair and a pair ofjeans, and i said i was looking for the headwaiter or the manager? my name's peter morton and i'm the founder, he said. you know what, you're great but you're too young, so i said to him, listen, i'm the best you're going to bloody get, you better take me, i said. so he went back in his chair, put his hand up — i didn't know what he was doing — gave me a high—5, i want you to start now. now, my darling, this is the world's best steak burger, gold leaf. i want you to enjoy it. i'll be back to double check, 0k, enjoy. if you came in and wanted a cup of coffee at my tables, it's not a lot, it's £1.50 whatever of that, you know, but i'm going to make it — when you walk out that door with a memory. and life is all about memories. i want people to know that they are in london, and whether they are spending £1 of £500, i treat every customer the same. now, my darling, this is the sparkling blue hawaiian. you enjoy it, ok? i have served the beatles, the stones, freddie mercury, eric clapton, pete townsend, take that, carnabys —

um, god, so many — and jackie and joan collins, they were my favourite, they were fantastic to serve. now, eric clapton, he came in a few years ago, because he gave the first guitar to the hard rock. of course, pete townsend heard about this, and a week or so later, he sent his down with a note saying, "mine‘s asjust as his — get it up." what does hard rock mean to me? well, they gave me a job in 1971, a job that i've walked in every day and every second, minute, hour of the day, i've enjoyed every second of it. there you are, my darling, whenever you're ready, you pay me, and come back, and bring yourfriends, 0k? great to see you. well, stay with us here on the travel show, because coming up: we'll be meeting the filipino islanders keeping a perilous tradition alive.

plus, i'll be asking just what goes into natural wine? madam, for you today, the cheese fondue! oh, my god! pepperman. merci. bye. i was not expecting that...at all. i think, as far as entrances go, that was quite extravagant. now you might not know this about me but i absolute the love fondue. so i'm in heaven right now. and usually this is the kind of meal that is communal, but clearly, i'm billy no—mates right now, but honestly i have no problem consuming all of this by myself. now, if you have never had the pleasure of having fondue, what you've got here is a burner at the bottom that keeps the cheese consistently melted and smooth and delicious and cheesy, and what you do is you grab some bread, or you can use it with meat, eat it with meat or vegetables, whack it on your fork,

dip it in the cheesy goodness, oh, and let heaven take over. that is delicious. next up, we head to the philippines to meet islanders of pabellon, who have maintained a unique art for generations. nest gatherers risk their lives climbing up cliff faces with their bare hands. we went to find out why this dangerous tradition continues.

now, i'm heading to the swiss alps to meet a winemaker who is doing things a little bit differently. peter hans—schmidt set up mythopia when the natural wine movement was taking off. today, the consumption of natural wine is on the rise, with emerging names creeping onto wine 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 chemicals or additives. and i've heard peter's vineyard is a pretty good example of this. that was quite the trek. i am used to vineyards being a bit more — a bit tidier. there's a lot going on, there's brambles, there's bushes, there's loads of wild plants — this is not your typical vineyard, is it? the thing is to have really a living space for nature. there is a method behind the wildness? there is definitely a method. we do not need any fertiliser, so it only comes from the greens that we have planted here. there's a beehive! not really a beehive. this is for wild bees and we put these holes and they put their eggs into the holes. so not only are you making natural wine, with bees on the decline, you're actually doing something for the planet as well. that's brilliant. yeah, we have increased

biodiversity, in fact, this area here is one of the places with the highest biodiversity in the whole country. i'm starting to see what you are talking about. this is definitely your patch, this isn't. no. it looks quite barren, there's no undergrowth. you look this way, it's wildflowers, bees, butterflies. there's a lot going on on this side. i mean, this is the traditional way, like winegrowing was done here for the last 50 years and more. and all our vineyards, they looked exactly like this. very dense 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 vines as wild as possible. apparently his vineyards are home to 64 species of butterfly. but having never tried natural wine, i'm looking forward to tasting how it differs from the wine i'm used to. so, peter, what are we tasting? the disobedience is a white wine.

but if you see, the colour is more like golden. they call it like orange. yeah, it's a nice colour. not one you would expect when someone says white wine. in the old days the wine had four colours — there was red and white, and it was rose and orange. when we did this wine we broke all the rules. it is like doing all in the wrong way so in the end it comes to this. that is really nice. it is quite tangy but really flavoursome but very different to the white wines i'm used to. i've never had orange wine before, i've never heard of orange wine before. i did not actually know that it existed so i am learning something too. you only can only make this type of natural wines a continuation

of your work in the vineyard. you need the stable system where you do not interfere. every bottle is made by billions of microorganisms that's why we call it also living fine. they're still inside. peter's clearly not one to shy away from a memorable name. next up, his red wine — illusion. it definitely tastes like red, and red is my favourite. it is difficult to describe just with adjectives what happens inside your mouth. a lot of young people never drinking wine, they come to natural wines and say, oh, i like it. it's steep here, yeah. speaking to peter has made me realise that natural winemaking is as much a philosophy as it is a process. that part of the excitement within the movement is the unpredictability of nature that helps make each bottle different from the last, something traditional winemakers have spent centuries trying to avoid. he has also made it clear that even the wildest of vineyards need taming.

so he's agreed to let me have a go on his little red tractor. from the outside, it looks wild, but if you do not manage it, it is just all overgrown and after a three years there is nothing to harvest anymore. so it is controlled wildness. yes. it is myjob to manoeuvre the roller backwards, down the hill, flattening the grass that will then act as a natural fertiliser for the soil underneath. but i've 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, right.

i think it is fair to say that a lot of us have got expectations of how wine should taste based on what we have been told so it is quite a refreshing and fascinating to see people like peter refusing to conform and it's easy to see that, by using more natural methods, not only is he doing his bit for the environment, but he's shaking up the wine industry a little bit too. and that's it for this week's travel show. but coming up next week: ade‘s in amsterdam to see researchers prepare to restore rembrandt‘s the night watch in full view of the paying public. wow. oh, man, so that's it? all of this scrutiny and all of this work for one artist. i really think that he would think we are crazy. so make sure you catch that and, in the meantime, don't forget, you can check us out on social media. but for now, from me, lucy hedges, and the rest of the travel show team, here in switzerland, it's goodbye.

a after a fine start to the weekend sunday will continue on a similar note but there are some changes on the way. this view from northern ireland came during saturday. some sunshine but we will expect more cloud on sunday. most of us down beneath this finger of high pressure will get sunny spells, this weather front is moving into it into northern and western scotland and northern ireland. but most will start sunday clear and chilly. temperatures in single figures, though single figures in the countryside and close to freezing in the coldest parts of eastern scotla nd the coldest parts of eastern scotland and north—east england

where a touch of frost is possible to begin the day. so it is chilly on the start line of the great north run in the morning but after that, with a mixture of cloud and sunshine, temperatures not giving up too far too quickly, perfect conditions for running and good luck to everyone taking part. light winds, too. for the rest of the sunday is looking like theirs. england, wales, eastern scotland, lots of sunshine. patchy cloud around it may be an isolated shower. more towards the coast of east anglia and kent but most stay dry. in northern ireland, northern and western scotland because of that weather front we saw earlier it is a cloudy day and you may encounter a bit of light rain and drizzle not amounting to too much. temperatures ina amounting to too much. temperatures in a patchy saturday but feeling a little bit warmer. parts of eastern scotla nd little bit warmer. parts of eastern scotland in the north sea coast of england despite the to the start. anyone hoping for rain in the final day of the test match at old trafford will be disappointed. and on about the on the way. but there is some rain moving in but it is

coming in on sunday night and into monday as the system comes in from the atlantic. as it comes brings in more cloud so there will be a milder start on monday morning with the exception of eastern most parts of england, staying clear of they are still quite to be here to begin the day. during monday outbreaks of rain a little further east but more persistent and heavier into wales, south—west england and not much reaching eastern parts of england. as for temperatures, found about the mid—teens. it is going to be a cooler feed in day. mid—teens. it is going to be a coolerfeed in day. that mid—teens. it is going to be a cooler feed in day. that weather system dies a death as we go into tuesday and this is what is left of hurricane dorian getting close to iceland but with trailing weather fronts coming into the uk nothing to worry about from that. yes, there will be some rain. the winds will start to pick up as well and there will be further weather systems coming on as we go deeper into the week. wetter times were not all the time, turning windier and perhaps a little bit warmer towards the end of
