indeed, his first assignment as a photographer on fleet street... you know, the very firstjob i ever had on the newspaper i got sent to photograph a group, and they turned out to be the beatles recording please please me, and i started at the top and i never looked back. # rebel, rebel, you've torn your dress. in the ‘70s, he captured david bowie‘s ever changing image. to his admirers, one of his great talents was developing relationships with his sitters. when you work with musicians, you have to respect that it's their time, but terry got very close to a lot of people, and in, you know, in some instances, he married his subject. you know, he was married to faye dunaway. married to faye dunaway, photographed frank sinatra — it wasn't an easy life. this was one of the first stones photoshoots, but as the years went by, modern stars weren't so interesting to him. i don't know what it is, all the guys seem to wear black suits, all the girls seem to be fashion plates, but they all look the same. it was a portfolio that had everyone from bardot

to churchill, sinatra to taylor. terry o'neill's life truly was a catalogue of a golden age of stardom. the photographer terry o'neill, who's died at the age of 81... now it's time for a look at the weather with chris fawkes. through the rest of the night it stays cloudy initially across england and wales. still the threat of some patches of green living in from the north the effect east anglia, may be pushing into kent as well. otherwise, skies will continue to clear for scotland, northern ireland and the far north of england with a widespread and sharp frost, with a widespread and sharp frost, with some icy surfaces particularly in northern scotland. heading through monday this area of high pressure will be with us bringing a

speu pressure will be with us bringing a spell of settled weather and stopping this low pressure from making inroads from europe but the low could get close enough to bring a strip of cloudy weather into the far east of england, may be a little bit of rain here, but after a cold and legally frosty start, we are looking a dry riverfor and legally frosty start, we are looking a dry river for most of the day with plenty of sunshine, it might be sunny but it will stay cold and a number of places with highs of just two in edinburgh, and further south, nine or ten in cardiff and london. hello this is bbc news. the headlines: sources close to prince andrew have told the bbc he stands by his decision to be questioned on newsnight —— about his links to a convicted paedophile. now lawyers call upon him to give evidence. whether a person is a prince or a pauper, if anyone has evidence or information that might be relevant to an investigation

hello, and welcome to this look back at some of our recent adventures here on the travel show. it's been a busy few months, so here's a taste of what's coming up. it's so hot! i'm melting. totally worth it. look at this atmosphere! oh, here we go again. oh, wow! this is beautiful. there is all that and more to come, so let's kick off with carmen's recent trip to osaka injapan. she went to get a bird's—eye view of the ancient burial mounds constructed thousands of years ago, but now located in a very modern city.

we start this week in osaka, a modern city, totally rebuilt after the devastation of the second world war. but among these street crossings and skyscrapers, you can still find artefacts from its past. you might not be able to spot them from the ground. oh, i 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. but to get the best view of these historical wonders, you really have to take to the sky. oh, my gosh. we are taking off. so exciting. 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 osa 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 involved in the successful unesco bid.

the size and shape of the burial mounds depends on the person's status. the sites were decorated with haniwa, clay figurines that were used in the funeral ceremony. carmen exploring japan's past. now, rembrandt has to be one of the most famous painters in the world, and this year marks the 350th anniversary of his death. a while back, ade added back to amsterdam, where rembrandt worked and lived for most of his life, to discover a project that is restoring one of his most famous paintings.

in 1631, he made this city his home. and it's here that he painted his most famous masterpieces. and you can see many of them on display at the rijksmuseum. but what i've come here to see is very special. and involves a painting that rembrandt is best known for, one of the most famous works of art in the world, the night watch. the painting is almost four centuries old, and over the years there have been various restoration attempts. but now the museum is undertaking the most sophisticated one ever. using hi—tech methods to carry out a forensic examination of how rembrandt actually painted the picture before restoration can begin. and it's all being carried out

in one of their galleries in full view of the public and live—streamed online. the machine you see there is an x—ray fluorescence scanner. and this way we get an idea of the elements present in this painting. but this is a painting which is for us to admire. why is it so important for you to know about the elements? we need to figure out... we want to know how rembrandt painted it, what his ideas were when he was painting it, how did he make this nice composition. was it all ok on the canvas, or did he change his mind and change more things, or did he change the composition? those things we would like to know. so you're getting a real idea of what it was like to be a painter in rembrandt‘s time? yeah, we're basically on rembrandt‘s shoulder and watching him while he's painting his paintings. so we're going to photograph the painting in daylight,

but we're not going to do it like one snapshot, but we're going to do a lot of photos next to each other. i think, from the top of my head, it's 11,000 photos. wow. so then we get a really high resolution. it's like you're looking through a microscope. one pixel in that photo is like a blood cell, or basically it's smaller than a human hair. all of this scrutiny and all of this work for one artist — what do you think rembrandt would make of it if he was around today? i would personally think that he would think we are crazy. yeah, yeah. ade there in amsterdam. now it's time for a slice of living history. the fete des vignerons is a huge wine festival that's been taking place in switzerland since 1797.

usually, it's once every 25 years, and this year lucy went along to take part. as well as being home to unesco—protected lavaux vineyards, vevey is known for its living tradition — the fete des vignerons. a three—week long celebration of wine that transforms the town. while switzerland might not spring to mind when you think of wine, they actually produce 100 million litres of wine per year, only exporting 2% of it. it's said that, during the fete des vignerons, visitors unsuspectingly work their way through — are you ready? — over half a million bottles of wine. and the festival itself began as a one—day feast hosted by an ancient brotherhood as a way to reward the best winemaker in the region. and it clearly takes the locals a while 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 wasn't organised for another 22 years. a cycle that has remained ever since. today the climax of the celebration is a daily show that takes place in a specially built stadium and features over 5,000 volunteers. and this year, the show‘s been created by the man behind cirque du soleil. i'm loving the vibe back here, themed costumes, props everywhere. so with 5,000 people in your show, do you think you've got room for one more? do this with your hands, dance with your hands. does that mean i'm in? you are in!

talk me through what i'm going to be doing. you are going to be a dancer, a starling dancer. the idea is that your upper body is completely separated from your lower body and your arms feel like wings that you can fly with. you make that look really easy. so i've got my moves, now it's time to get my costume. these are huge. how do i look? am i working it? you're amazing. then the three—hour extravaganza began. the sun is blazing, it's so hot! i'm melting. totally worth it. look at this atmosphere!

the choreography wasn't as important in the end, everyone was freestyling, but it looked really good. and what an honour to take part in something that only happens once every 20 years. i ain't going to to be this limber in 20 years, i'll tell you that now! lucy and about 30,000 other people at the stadium in switzerland back in august. well, stay with us, because coming up... every year, groups of very lucky people get to go aboard and actually rowjust like ancient athenians did. we get a break every so often. "caution: a high degree of physical fitness is required past this point." he breathes heavily they weren'tjoking! well, we're always up for

a challenge here on the travel show, but mike raised the bar recently when he went to malaysia and tackled a climb that was a real test of endurance. but the reward was spectacular views. i'm in gunung mulu national park in malaysia's biggest state, sarawak. it's home to some of the world's largest caves, formed from limestone and shaped by millions of years of ground and rainwater. this process also created a bizarre collection of stone spires above the ground. at almost 50 metres tall, the pinnacles are an imposing spectacle. but to get there, sightseers face a long, brutal trek through the rainforest. "caution, a high degree of physical fitness is required past this point." "eight hours round trip." intense!

yeah. lead the way! let's go! he breathes heavily you weren'tjoking! how is it? steep! he chuckles we've only just started, and i'm already pretty exhausted. he breathes heavily it's another kilometre before i reach the most treacherous stage. this is the first ladder, mike. 0k. right, larry. helmets on, right? all right. and who's first? after you, mike. after me.

ok, one down, 17 more to go. the beautiful limestone cliffs are sharp, but at least there's lots of places to grab onto. looks like it is raining down there. you think it's going to rain? yeah, it will be heavy rains. he breathes heavily 500 metres to go. 100 metres to go. hope we get there before rain. what ladder‘s this? last ladder. the last ladder? this looks like the summit. is it it? yeah, the summit is here. we are here, guys. oh, wow!

yeah! and there's so many of them! 0h! this is beautiful! yep! just daggersjutting out of the forest canopy. thanks. yeah. yeah, it really is spectacular, right? yep. mike taking on the pinnacles there in malaysia. now, rwanda might be one of africa's smallest nations, but it's becoming increasingly well known for its wildlife, especially its gorillas.

recently, lucy headed there, hoping to meet some of these magnificent creatures. the walk is pretty tough — i'm not going to lie. the higher we get, the higher the altitude, my breath is getting a bit shorter. three hours and 4,000 metres above sea level, and i was beginning to fear i might not everfind a gorilla. oh, my god. i look scared, but they are so big!

i grabbed francis like my life depended on it. we have really, really lucked out here. so you have got a mother cradling her baby. we've got blackbacks. and we've got the mother of all gorillas, the silverback there. he'sjust watching us, watching him. i can't believe we are this close. my mind is just absolutely blown. they are so beautiful. and when you think we share 98% of our dna with these great apes, you understand why they too are curious about us. rwanda, in collaboration with international conservation partners, has achieved remarkable success in not only protecting, but growing the mountain gorilla population. in fact, there are now 1,000 mountain gorillas here in the wild — up from 200 just two decades ago, when they were on the brink of extension.

this is primarily down to the decrease in poaching, when the gorillas were hunted for meat. but in an effort to protect the gorillas, poachers were trained to become mountain guides and porters here, further supporting tourism. so talk to me about the poaching here. and so there is no problem, but there is no problem, because we keep avoiding it not happen by involving them in the communities and hiring the poachers to porterfor us. yeah. but you cannot say it is done, so we keep on. but, of course, more gorillas means they need more space. the government has now pledged to expand the forest by 23%, adding almost 4,000 hectares to its current 16,000. you just hear little grunts just in the distance. at the minute, i think it is quite hard to tell if it is aggressive or playful grunts.

wow. how did you feel when the gorilla came out of nowhere and jumped at you? scared! just being able to watch them eating, interacting and even communicating with us in their natural habitat is, hands down, one of the best experiences that i've ever had the pleasure of having while being on my travels. i highly recommend it. lucy there in rwanda on what must have been an incredible trip. and as for me, well, the powers that be at the travel show decided i had a different kind of experience in store — a boat trip up the coast of greece. sounds dreamy and relaxing. but as i discovered, not so much. i have come a short distance outside of the athens city centre

to what has become known as the athens riviera. there are plenty of cool cafes, ritzy new hotels and, of course, plenty of luxury yachts. moored close to the modern yachts, a different kind of ship is ready to go out to sea. the trireme olympias — the only life—size replica in the world of the athenian battleships which dominated the naval wars from the fifth century bc until early christian times. this amazing—looking galley belongs to the greek navy, and every year groups of very lucky people get to go aboard and actually rowjust like ancient athenians did. this year, i'm one of those lucky people, so i'd better get ready. i think it is going to be quite hard work. well, my fellow rowers are starting to arrive now, so i've picked a plum spot right in the middle of the action. 0h! oar. ready for ramming speed.

coxswain speaks in greek reaching speeds of about nine knots, or 17km/h, this boat was considered pretty quick in its time. coxswain speaks in greek and its manoeuvrability won athens some decisive victories at sea. the bronze ram served as the main weapon to puncture the hulls of enemy ships and to sink them. coxswain speaks in greek we get a break every so often. oh, here we go again!

looking around, it is almost impossible to imagine what this must have been like for the people who originally rowed these kinds of boats. i mean, to be in battle, three layers of different people all sweating and trying to ram another boat in the open sea, i mean, it is unimaginable, given how pleasant and lovely this is today. fortunately, this trireme is now being used for less ferocious purposes. for now, the olympias is going back to the port for some pampering. it will spend the winter there before being spruced up

for a new set of visitors in 2020. well, that's all we have time for on this week's programme, but don't forget to sign up to our social—media feeds. you can see what we're up to and share your travel stories with us and the rest of the world. for now from me, christa larwood, and the rest of the travel show hello again. i think the weather should turn a little bit drier with a bit more sunshine to go round for most of us over the next couple of days.

before we get there, tonight, it stays pretty cloudy for england and wales initially. still the threat of a little bit of rain coming and going across parts of east anglia, perhaps the far east of south—east england, as well. skies clear for scotland and northern ireland and the far north of england, and here, it is going to be a cold night with a widespread and pretty sharp frost. that frost is all down to this ridge of high pressure which will be moving across the british isles during monday, stopping this low pressure from moving in across from europe. nevertheless, the low could get close enough to bring some thicker cloud to east anglia and south—east england, so perhaps a few patches of rain here, but for most of us, it is a dry day with plenty of sunshine. locally cold, and a frosty start to the day. after those cold conditions early on, temperatures struggle. scotland, northern ireland, the far north of england, the temperatures in edinburgh just about 2 degrees or so in the afternoon. nine or ten for cardiff and for london. but, monday night will be a really cold night, probably the coldest of the autumn so far, with temperatures

in the countryside in scotland getting all the way down to about —10 celsius, so a very cold night coming up, here. looking at the weather picture into tuesday, the middle part of the week should be initially dry with the ridge of high pressure in charge, but increasingly, later on in the week, we will see this low to exert its influence off the atlantic, bringing thicker cloud and outbreaks of rain to western areas. the winds eventually turning more to a south—easterly direction. the winds, light, once again on tuesday. most of us having a dry day. cold and frosty to start with and there could be some lingering mist and fog patches around as well with poor visibility initially. otherwise, fine and sunny conditions but this weather front will make inroads across northern ireland, perhaps reaching cornwall and the western fringes of wales later on in the day, threatening outbreaks of rain. the same low pressure system gets a little bit closer to the british isles on wednesday, so that cloud and rain a little bit more extensive across these western areas. elsewhere, another cold and frosty start to the day, with some mist and fog patches that could loiter and where that happens, temperatures

will stay on the low side. so, looking at the weather in the week ahead, although i'm not promising it stays completely dry, any rain won't be as heavy or persistent as it has been this month.
