this is bbc news, the headlines: the democratic presidential frontrunner, joe biden, has accused donald trump of an overwhelming abuse of power. if follows reports that the president tried to pressure ukraine to investigate mr biden and his son. mr trump insisted his talks with foreign leaders were "always appropriate." saudi arabia has vowed to take appropriate action once the investigation into last week's attack on its oil installations is complete. the saudi foreign minister has insisted iranian weapons were used, and has rejected the claim by houthi rebels in yemen that they carried out the attack. and commemorations have been held to mark the 75th anniversary of the largest airborne assault in history. the battle or arnhem in world war ii saw around 35,000 allied soldiers land behind enemy lines.

to indonesia now, and the struggle that some people have to get clean water. in one village, during the summer drought, people had to venture deep into a remote cave and climb down ten metres to fill their buckets. now, to tackle rising demand and help ease the pressures on local people, the government has made plans to provide 10 million homes with running water.

the struggle for clean water in indonesia. it is currently 1:32am. now on bbc news, the travel show. this week on the travel show: i take to the sky here injapan to check out one of the country's latest world heritage sites. our global guru has tips on how to help fund your travels while you're away. and alex goes on board a unique tall ship that's been adapted so everyone can be part of the crew. they're so close! theme music plays.

we start this week in osaka. a modern city totally rebuilt after the devastation of the second world war. but among the street crossings and skyscrapers, you can still find artefacts from its past. you mightjust not be able to spot them from the ground. made it to the top. it's a little bit of a view, it's not bad, a lot of trees here. not really that much to see. to get the best view of these historic wonders, you really have to take to the sky. taking off... let's go. dotted across the city,

there are nearly 50 grassy hills, some of them built in a distinctive keyhole shape. the japanese call them kofun, burial mounds built over 1,500 years ago. these man—made structures hold the remains of some of ancient 0sa ka's most powerful figures. and this summer, these memorials were recognised as the city's first unesco world heritage site. yoshizawa san has been studying the tombs for decades and was involve in the

successful unesco bid. ah, i see, we're standing here right now. wow, this is so big. 425 metres. the size and shape of a burial mounds depend on the person's status. the sites were decorated with haniwa, clay figurines that were used in the funeral ceremony. ok, let's go.

so once they're cleaned, what's the next step? like a jigsaw puzzle? yeah. haniwa take on a lot of different forms and meanings. a house like this is thought to have symbolised the person's lifestyle. reassembling these figures can take as long as a year. wow, i wouldn't know where to start with a puzzle like this. i guess...maybe? no. here? maybe.

tourists visiting the mounds can also have a go of crafting their very own haniwa. a nearby arts centre called 0kuraya offers classes.

he looks a bit surprised, doesn't he, this guy? is that all right? ah, 0k, even down there. wow, your attention to detail is amazing. i couldn't really tell you what my haniwa is supposed to represent. laughter. they're just being kind.

and when you compare it to the ancient figurines that yoshizawa san and his team are restoring, it's a humbling reminder of the craft and skill that went into building 0saka's extraordinary burial mounds. next, we're off to spain where a railway station high in the pyrenees holds a secret that stretches back to the dark days of the second world war.

still to come on this week's travel show: simon has tips on the best way to earn money while you're abroad. and alex heads off to sea on a specially—adapted tall ship. how are they going to get us up there? i'll be on that mast, are you serious? so don't go away. now, while i've been in osaka, i've noticed that the burial mounds that we featured earlier in the show are just about everywhere and i'm notjust talking underground. check out this place. wow! well, i have never had a burial mound—shaped quiche before. let's hope it doesn't taste any different. here goes. it's very thick. looking good inside.

tastes good, just like a regular quiche. thank goodness! hello again, this week the theme is southeast asia on a budget. i've advice on some hidden gems in singapore and kuala lumpur. and the prospects for picking up casual work as you travel around the region. but first, it's 500 years since leonardo da vinci died and to mark the visionary and artist, a new blockbuster exhibition is opening at the louvre in paris on the 24th of october.

the show is running until february next year but it is expecting to prove so popular that admission is only by timed tickets — you must book ahead. back to southeast asia and on instagram, @passedport asks: hi simon. i'm looking for some hidden gems in singapore or kuala lumpur, especially cultural sites or museums. in singapore i have two favourites, both of which seem to be under visited. the first is fort siloso, on sentosa island, now a military museum, including the surrender chamber, depicting the events when british defenders surrendered to the japanese in 1942, and three years later, when the occupying army itself surrendered. the other is the treetop walk, which takes you high above the tropical rainforest

of the heart of the island. kuala lumpur also has urban rainforest with high altitude access, the forest eco park. miraculously preserved in the heart of the urban jungle, gives splendid views of the skyscrapers. my other highlight is the capital's old railway station, which when the current building opened in 1910, was one of the most spectacular buildings in the young city. fred nurgles is off to thailand and vietnam in november and december. fred, i've not much experience of renting wheelchairs on sand, so i've sought some expert advice. in terms of the swimming, there are actually equipment available in some beaches, like where i was last week. they have the amphibian chair. so that's actually a chair with much bigger wheels that can go over both the sand and then it can go on the sea and float.

definitely look out for amphibian chairs. as you know, fred, they're difficult to find so i think your best bet is to contact one of the specialist accessible travel companies, in terms of thailand and vietnam, i've been asking around and come up with phuket as an option for you. patong beach in particular, has been recommended. and a quick search shows there are hotels nearby with good wheelchair access. an alternative on phuket might be karon beach. it's got a pavement running along its length that allows easy access onto the sand. finally, simon lusted wonders: i have been working my way around the world intermittently for a number of decades — picking fruit in australia, making radio commercials in california. but finding unskilled work in a reasonable rate of pay in a country with relatively low wages and a large supply of labour, is both difficult and morally questionable. earn at home, spend abroad.

i think that's the best way to go. do keep sending in your questions and i will do my very best to find you the answers. from me, simon calder, the global guru, bye for now and see you next time! now, finally this week we're heading to the port city of cardiff in the united kingdom. the welsh capital was once one of the largest docklands in the world, made up of a bustling community of seafarers. and now, it the starting point for the travel show‘s alex taylor, who's in for a unique sailing experience. this is tenacious, the only tall ship of its kind in the world, designed and built so it can be sailed by a truly mixed—ability crew. wow, how are they going to get us up there? i will be on that mast?

are you serious? this was the largest wooden ship to be built in the uk for over a century when it was completed in 2000. the jubilee sailing trust is a registered charity running the ship, which focuses on people can do instead of what they can't. with my ginger biscuits in my bag i was hauled aboard to spend a week with my new shipmates. on board i will be part of the ship's watch, hoisting the sails, and getting stuck in. what you've got here is — you've got your bunk. 0k. and you've also got lockers. right. i think we are expecting some pretty choppy weather as we leave here, down to land's end. fun. but i guess the captain will explain it. ginger biscuits are good, right? you got it!

you are the crew, not guests or passengers or any of that nonsense, you guys are here as crew, you are the ones that are going to do all the bits and pieces to move the ship, to make it all happen. now, to do that, we have to do a little bit of training. these are permanently rigged in position. we've got two evacuation routes, this is one of them, and all that we ask for our wheelchair users or those people that are with them, is that for an emergency, the wheelchair user is in their wheelchair. nice and gently, guys, hand over hand. south—westerly, four or five, occasionally six at first. heave!

two, six! it's lovely, actually it's part of a team already. learning things, so yeah, it's a really new experience, really. i got mark imprints from where all of the ropes were, i bought these. because otherwise your hands would be in pieces. a final destination will be poole in dorset. chris, my watch leader for the journey, tells me how he started. i came along with no experience with disability. i came on board and i was buddied up

with a guy who'd had a stroke when he was in his 20s. and he was such a lovely guy, we had such a really good time, it was just a nice atmosphere on board. everyone kind of pitches in and it's a great equalising environment. i don't like the distinction of able—bodied and disabled. i don't either. i hate it. and the more time is spend with a wider range of people, the more i dislike it. because you come on ships and you suddenly find that people have got all sorts of strengths and weaknesses, talents and abilities. irrespective of the way they are. wow, that is amazing! look! that's beautiful!

that's ridiculous! they're so close! as the sun sets on my watch and the dolphins, it was my turn to take the helm of the 700 ton ship. a bit more to the right. you're actually spot—on at the moment. absolutely spot on. only on camera. 0ff camera i'm terrible. you're doing what you should be doing which is stop, look at it, what's it doing? which way do i need to turn the wheel? and you turn it exactly the right way. my first time ever behind the wheel of a tall ship like this, it's huge and it's quite powerful and big. as night falls i finally get time to reflect on today's challenges

and look ahead to tomorrow. i don't know how everything started and where it ended so i'm a bit lost. look at that! it's been a good time. i've been seeing things which i would never see. dolphins especially, i never thought i'd see them. we're gonna go up a mast hopefully, and met people which is amazing, who i wouldn't normally have met. we've all got on well as a team, so yeah — it's been a bonding moment i think for everyone. well, that's all we've got time for this week. coming up next week: cat is in iceland learning about the effect climate change is having

on the country's glaciers and ice fields. ifeel like i'm dancing here. and we rejoin alex as he takes on another tall ship challenge at sea. hang on, i'm stuck! well, i hope you canjoin us for that if you can, and don't forget — if you want to follow the travel show team on theirjourneys on the road in real time, you can catch us on social media. but until next time, from me, carmen roberts, and the rest of the travel show team in japan, it's goodbye. hello there. while saturday brought us another warm, dry september day across much of the uk, things are now changing

from sunday and through the course of this coming week it's a more unsettled picture. rain or showers at times through the day on sunday and things will start to feel a little bit cooler than they have done recently, too. the reason for that is that we've got low pressure out towards the north—west of the uk. and that's going to be driving in some weather fronts through the day. and we've got further low pressure systems waiting out in the wings for later on in the week. so we start off sunday morning with some heavy showers, particularly across south—west england, the midlands, wales, northern ireland, too. some thunderstorms likely with some of those showers. they drift their way northwards and eastwards across the uk, followed by another band of rain. some drier and brighter whether working in from the south—west in the day. so a bit of sunshine around. and i think northern and eastern scotland probably holding onto the sunshine for a good part of the day. 18—23 degrees, so cooler than it has been, but still reasonably warm for some eastern areas where you do see the sunshine at times. now that showery rain should start to clear away towards the north and the north—east as we move through sunday night

and into the early hours of monday morning. there could be some mist and fog patches around first thing monday. and it will be a slightly resonate sunday night compared to this current night. but still frost free around 11—13 degrees. now heading on into monday, and this next area of low pressure moving in, that's associated with the remnants of ex—hurricane humberto, so it will bring some wet and some windy weather eventually to the uk, but nothing unseasonable here. in fact, much of monday looks dry and fine with some sunshine, still a bit cloudy and damp across the north of scotland. late in the day that is where we see the wind speaking up in the rain arriving across south—western england and wales and northern ireland, too. central and eastern england should keep the sunshine through much of monday, 20 degrees also here. typically the high teens for most of us. certainly cooler than it has been recently. more blue on them up for tuesday. more rain.

some of it could be quite and thundery, too. also still quite breezy, especially towards the south. but some sunny spells in between the showers, so not a washout on tuesday. but it's certainly feeling cooler than it has done recently, with most of us seeing temperatures at 17—18 degrees also on tuesday. and then with low pressure not far away as we look through the rest of the week, plenty of showers symbols on the outlook chart for the capital cities of the next five days or so. showers around, particularly across parts of scotland, and northern ireland, too. some sunnier spells for the south and east, but an unsettled story for much of the week ahead. bye— bye.
