one of the pre—race favourites philip gilbert couldn't the ground lost in this crash. others fell away including the defending champion. of the british riders, adam yates and ben swift fought hard fought hard to stay in it, but the race was being stretched by a series of exhausting attacks. the final duel was between the italian matteo and danish mads pedersen. a riveting race had a final twist. what a race and what a victory for mads pedersen, the new world the new world champion roared home in the rain. the weather has been awful, but the enthusiasm of the crowd right along the route has made this a day of celebration as well as saturation. that's all from sportsday. we'll have more throughout the evening, coming up next is the film review.

—— travel show. hello and welcome to the travel show with me, ade adepitan. this week, we are kicking off in iceland. it is a country famous for its natural beauty. but as cat moh has been finding out, things there are changing. we've all seen it on the covers of magazines, and the footage of nature documentaries. stunning images of a landscape from which iceland takes its name.

but these glaciers are more fragile than they may seem, and they have a story fit for a storyteller. "there was an immense crack. the ensuing earthquake was greater than any experienced since man first walked the planet. my name is andri magnusson, i am a writer in iceland, i have written children's books, poetry, plays, science fiction and non—fiction. we are in an example of what has to happen to all coal—fired power stations in the world. i am part of a group who made a creative place out of it. what is your connection to glaciers? my connection to glaciers is more

through my grandparents. my grandparents were founding partners of the icelandic glacial research society. and they went on a glacial honeymoon in 1956, for three weeks. and they were stuck in a tent in a blizzard, and i asked them when i was a child, weren't you cold? and they said "cold? we were just married." i didn't understand how you get warm when you get married. but i found out later. this has been family mythology, our brave grandmother, a pioneering woman on the glacier. but if i had written 20 years ago that glaciers would melt in the lifetime of a single human being, that would have been sci—fi at the time. well, now it is not sci—fi any more.

it's just sci. . .science. andri, hello. welcome. hi, i'm cat. welcome to my power station. thanks! it's not everyday i get invited to power station. so these are your grandparents. yes, this is iceland's highest peak, 2119 metres. grandma is not even wearing a coat, is she. no, it's good weather there. so i slightly interrupted you, can i help you hang these up? i am choosing what photos i would like to use in my book. i will put this one up here. andre, how does looking at these photos make you feel? they have always made me feel nostalgic, proud, but they are also a slice section of time, that is, this is the first generation

that was able to enjoy glaciers, and we only have three generations that will live that period. so then the glaciers will go, and after 300 years, these photos will be totally alien to that generation, especially in iceland. when the ice has left iceland. andri wanted to take me somewhere to show me just how quickly the landscape is changing. about 10% of iceland is covered in glaciers. but glaciologists now believe that all of iceland's glaciers will be gone in just 200 years. we meet a guide to help navigate us on a long walk high up into the clouds. "here are the colours replacing the flowers. "here are the bulbs replacing the stars, "here are the brands

replacing the species, "here are the freezers replacing the glaciers. "this is the eye of the storm, the reason for everything is right here in my heart." tell me about where we are standing right now. we are standing at this memorial plaque which is where 0k glacier used to stand. 50 metres above us, should have been an ice sheet across here, 30 years ago. but that has now completely vanished, and we only have these remains of dead ice around us. five years ago, when 0k glacier was no longer heavy enough to lift itself up and move, it was declared dead. the amount of ice here has decreased dramatically. researchers from rice university in america recently drew attention to the loss. they approached andri to write

the inscription for the plaque, commemorating the dead glacier. it's a strange situation, because how do you memorise the sky? it is something big, firm, eternal, it pushes in two directions. it points from here to the future, and it points from the future back to us. will you read me what you wrote? yes. here it says, "a letter to the future. "0k is the first icelandic glacier to lose its status as a glacier. "in the next 200 years, all our glaciers are expected "to follow the same path. "this monument is to acknowledge that we know what is happening, "and what needs to be done. "only you know if we did it. "august 2019, 415 ppm of c02." that's the amount of c02 in the atmosphere, and actually the cause of the melting glacier.

and that is rising, about 2—3 ppm every year. but still, hundreds of glaciers remain here. i left andri and went with my guide to solheimajokull glacier, the icy tongue of iceland's fourth—largest glacier, which covers nearly 600 kilometres square. it's also suffering under global warming. leifur runs carbon neutral tours here. do you think it is necessarily a good thing to encourage tourists to come to places where it might be their last chance to see it? notjust here, but anywhere around the world, isn't thatjust making a bad situation even worse? i think you can always

question to fly and travel. but if you do, whether it is to spain or to iceland, then at least i think it is good that people are educated about nature, about glacier behaviour and how global warming is affecting the glaciers. but step down from the glacier to its lagoon, and here you can find a whole new perspective. you can actually see how quickly the ice is melting — look at all the water just dripping down into the lake. while a certain amount of meltwater each year is normal, it's the rate of loss at glaciers like this that is unsustainable.

so how deep is this? close to the glacier it is about 60 metres deep. has it changed much in the time you have been coming here? oh yes, enormously. the lake didn't exist, just recently, it is just ten years old. this lake is ten years old? yes, it was starting to form in 2007 as a tiny pool, and now the glacier is melting at 100 metres per year. first i found it really interesting to be living in a land where you could see the changes. but then, when you see it at this scale, it is frightening and a bit sad. i have a gift for you. what is the gift? precious gift, a rare diamond. laughs. a rare diamond! inside, there is trapped

air that has been there for hundreds of years. that is incredible. it's so clear, isn't it. it's crazy. the ice may be beautiful, but it's a stark reminder that unless something changes soon, seeing and experiencing iceland's iconic glaciers is a privilege that few further generations will have a chance to enjoy. hello there. some parts of the uk have had more than theirfair share of rain this weekend. so much so that there have been some flooding problems and there are still a number of flood warnings in force across england and wales for the risk of river but also

coastal flooding because of some pretty high tides. now as this area of low pressure pulls away, notice a squeeze in the white lines. a spell of brisk winds for eastern coastal counties of england. but as we go through the small hours of monday, those winds will ease as the skies will clear. we will see some mist patches and it will turn quite chilly and there will be a few showers just trundling in from the north spreading down across scotland. as we go on into tomorrow for most, a quiet start, a bright start once the early mist is cleared. but you can already see behind me our next weather system, heavy outbreaks of rain returning to wales, the midlands, northern england, i think particularly for the hills of wales and north—west england there is the ongoing threat of flooding. some spots over high ground could see as much as 70 mm of rain. drierfurther north but on the chilly side. then as you move through monday night into tuesday, this area of low pressure turns its way eastwards. there will be further heavy downpours or longer spells of rain pushing mostly across england and wales. that tending to pivot away as the day wears on.

but first scotland and northern ireland, brighter skies, one or two showers. the winds coming down from the north so it is going to feel very cool. 9 degrees for aberdeen and 12 in belfast. and as you move into wednesday and we push that area of low pressure away, you will notice the white lines. the isobars, they come down from the north. that shows where the air will be coming from. the air will be coming from a long way north and on wednesday morning, while some places could start off with a touch of frost, stay in the countryside in northern england and central parts of scotland. chilly for just about all of us but wednesday it is going to be a bright and crisp day. quite a windy one, particularly across eastern areas. lighter winds further west but those temperatures no great shakes for the time of year, 11—14 degrees. as we head towards the end of the week, it looks like those temperatures will start to climb again, more of a west or south—westerly influence to our weather. but with that there is the potential for some wet

and windy weather at times. a lot of uncertainty about that i have to say. so through the week ahead, more rain at first and then it turns chilly. milder for the end of the week but with the potential for some more wet and windy weather.

this is bbc news. the headlines. the prime minister insists he's been a ‘model of restraint‘ in his use of language about brexit. i certainly think everybody should calm down. including you? i think i have been a model of restraint. at the start of the conservative party conference a key announcement is made on funding for hospitals in england. flood warnings are in place across england and wales. some rivers have burst their banks. running clashes in hong kong mark some of the worst violence, in more than three months, of anti—government protests. lewis hamilton wins after sebastian vettel ignores team orders in the russian grand prix. and groomed and abused... the tyneside woman who says shoddy policing failed her. that's in inside out in half an hour, here on bbc news,
