the israeli prime minister, benjamin netanyahu, has been officially charged with bribery, fraud and breach of trust. mr netanyahu is alleged to have accepted gifts from wealthy businessmen and dispensed favours to try to get more positive press coverage. he described the charges as an attempted coup. a former white house aide has told the impeachment inquiry into donald trump that the president pushed a false theory that ukraine meddled in the 2016 election. fiona hill also said she was worried that us foreign policy was being mixed up with domestic politics. security forces in chile have been accused of deliberately injuring people taking part in the current mass demonstrations against inequality. the rights group, amnesty international says the aim is to discourage further protests. the government has announced that

a number of children whose british parents were inside the former islamic state territory and who died in syria, are being returned to the uk. the foreign secretary, dominic raab said it was the right thing to do and that "innocent children" should never have been subjected to the "horrors of war". reporting restrictions mean that few details about them can be revealed. our middle east correspondent quentin sommerville reports. these children are looking for a way home, still trapped in syria. but today, british orphans, who aren't shown here, are finally able to escape the misery of syria's camps. they're now safely in the care of uk diplomats and they're doing well. the foreign secretary welcomed their return. this evening, we're in the process of returning back to the uk a number of orphaned british children from the conflict in syria. we look at the cases individually very carefully and in these circumstances, it's

the right thing to do. these children should be safe and sound here in the uk, at home, not caught up in that vicious conflict. the british kids will be home in the next few days, but around 60 others from the uk are still caught up in islamic state's aftermath. this social worker in the camps says they too need to be returned. he said, "we are calling upon the countries, whether western, foreign or arab, to take their undocumented children back, so they have proper care at home and so that those kids know their families, aunts, uncles and relatives. it's very hard here." but this isn'tjust britain's problem and it's wider than detention camps. in prisons, there are more than 150 children. steven from suriname is one of them. we first met him eight months ago when he was captured. i neverjoined them, it's just my mother brought me to idlib. they took me here,

without me wanting to come. steven, like others, dreams of returning home. his father is waiting for him. the british children didn't choose the islamic state. they're now free from its suffering, but for thousands more, the hardship continues. the pain they've already experienced is more than any child should bear. quentin sommerville, bbc news. now on bbc news: the travel show. hello and welcome to the travel show. this week, we are coming to you from rwanda. i am in the capital kigali to meet the people determined to make the country one of east africa's cultural hotspots. how do i look? good? cat's in copenhagen,

skiing on the roof of a power plant. i just want to make it down without falling over. and simon calder‘s back with his tips on how to take a new train link to the world's coldest city. yakutsk in north—east siberia is now easier to reach. we start this week in copenhagen. by 2025, the danes hope this

will become the world's very first carbon neutral capital city. we sent cat moh to find out how they're getting on. denmark is a country that takes its eco—friendly reputation very seriously. it's claimed more than two—thirds of their waste is recycled and 30% of all of their energy consumption comes from renewable sources. they even say the harbour is clean enough for you to swim in. not something i will be trying a cold winter's day. instead, i'm on a goboat, it's one of a fleet of electric boats available to hire here in copenhagen. it is charged back at the dock with solar panels so that means no noisy engines and low co2 emissions. this green drive has had another

added push with the opening of a new tourist attraction. built on top of the unlikeliest of buildings, a power station. fuelled by waste and billed as one of the most environmentally—friendly plants of its kind. 0pened last month, copenhill spans more than 40,000 square metres. this slope i'm on works its way from the bottom all the way up the side of the building and it's open every day of the week for hikers, sightseers and even skiers. the ski slope is made from a slippery synthetic material which is coloured green to stop the slope from discolouring. so they're stilljust doing a little bit of work up here but look, right over there, that's sweden which is very cool and on the other side, we have this amazing view of copenhagen.

and how did you guys come up with putting a ski slope up here? one of the things we realised quite quickly is that if you take a section of the building, it actually steps down from low to high, from the area where the trucks drive in, to the furnace, to the boilers, to the flue gas treatment areas all the way up to about 90 metres. one of the other things about denmark is that danes love to ski but denmark is completely flat. so they will drive for three hours to sweden to ski on a slope that's about 80 metres high. so we quickly realised that since we have mountains of trash, apparently, we could turn it into mountains of recreation and skiing that could become a public amenity in the very centre of the city of copenhagen. sustainability is looked at as a protestant act. sustainability is it something you do which means that you have to do less of something and that somehow you have to have less life

experience but what we really wanted to do with this project is to express that somehow sustainability can be something that's positive and fun and that actually gives more back to people and to the city. inside, a glass lift shows people the inner workings of the power station. and tours are available as an apres ski activity. so explain to me what's going on because there seems to be a mix of leftover tree branches but also general waste as well. that's correct. we receive waste from five municipalities. both from households and from industries. all the waste that cannot be recycled. how often do these trucks come because there seems to be a very steady flow, even just standing here for the past few minutes. yeah, we have around 300 lorries coming in on a daily basis. inside the waste silo, giant grabbers mix the rubbish

before dropping it into the furnace. so this is where the waste is being incinerated. i'll show you over here. and it's quite a sight. oh, my eyes! it is like staring into the pits of hell. the plant generates electricity and potentially enough annual heating for 150,000 homes. we have waste in copenhagen, we'll keep on producing waste in copenhagen, and in the rest of the world, so this is a product that's already here so we might as well use it for something reasonable, something that makes sense. back on the slope, it's time for me to get my skis on. can i borrow your boot for one moment? yep. just one of them is fine.

i haven't been on a dry ski slope for maybe 15 years. you'll have fun. i've been on actual snow. yeah, well, it's quite different. speed is your friend up here, so, there we go... speed is my friend? yeah, definitely. so i don't really know how this is going to go. if i'm going to wipe out. i just want to make it down without falling over! after that initial wobble, i was soon feeling confident. maybe a bit too confident. well, that went really well. and the copenhill‘s open now

to skiers of all abilities. and if you're thinking of travelling to denmark, here are some things we think you should look out for. if you're staying in copenhagen, you could cycle to tivoli gardens. established in 1843, it's one of the world's oldest and prettiest amusement parks. plus, it's right in the city. fairytale writer hans christian andersen is said to have visited many times, and it's rumoured walt disney found the inspiration to his own disney world here. if you're feeling brave, you could take an icy dip off the northern tip of denmark. it's the skagen winter swimming festival. anyone who takes part earns the name of ice breaker. 0rganisers promise it will be an atmospheric and invigorating event. or for something very different, horsens jail in thejutland region

is hosting a prison ink festival in may. 250 tattoo artists from around world will be on hand to ink you up. 0rganisers are expecting around 5000 people to attend over the three—day event. now, malaysians themselves admit that nothing unites their multicultural nation better than their food so we're in sarawak to see what goes into their unofficial official national dish. i'm zak gan. people know me as the laughing boss. we're the banquet restaurant in kuching, sarawak! today i'm going to teach you how to cook basic nasi lemak with a few twists. nasi lemak is steamed hot rice infused with coconut milk and basically the most important part is the sambal,

the spicy signature special red sauce. 0k, first off, you have the rice, fill with water and this is the most important thing, the coconut milk. nasi lemak. without the coconut milk, you won't have the lemak. and then this pandan leaf. just for the flavour, for the fragrance. basically when it's ready, the smell will tell you, the fragrance will tell you. now we move over to the sambal. a big onion! everyone can have nasi lemak. it's a typical malay recipe. in the kampung, you sell this nasi lemak, i think two to three ringgit, you've got to make it simple, make it nice. ah, and if you want to want sell in a five—star hotel,

your name is a longer name — your name is steamed hot rice infused with coconut milk, seasoned with special spicy signature red sauce. ah, that you can sell 30 ringgit. this one, two ringgit. laughs perfect, this is golden brown, you just add in this, this is the chilli paste. and then a sour papaya and prawn paste. you can smell it from 1,000 miles away. that's exactly how you cook traditional basic sambal. 0k. there we go. the cucumber slice. the deep—fried anchovies.

and there we have it — the perfect nasi lemak! nasi lemak can go with anything from fried chicken to peking duck! or you can go to basic. there we go. mmmm, the spiciness, the coconut milk, awesome. stick around because it still to come on the travel show: our global guru, simon calder, explores how to reach the world's coldest city by train. and i'm in kigali seeing how this city is transforming into a cultural hotspot. i think i made it for about half of that choreography. these kids are so good!

hello again. today i'm focusing on a subject that more of you want to know about than any other. budget travel in europe. i aim to help with seeing dubrovnik on a shoestring. recommending the best greek island for a cut—price may escape, and the tricky business of international rail travel. first, though, as winter gets a grip on the northern hemisphere, the world's oldest city, yakutsk in north—eastern siberia, is now easier to reach. a new railway line connects the city to the rest of the russian rail network, almost. the wide lena river stops the line just short of the city but in winter when the river is frozen, vehicles take passengers the short distance from the end

of the line to yakutsk and in the summer, there are ferries. back here in europe, bethan hughes wants to know... dubrovnik and budget used to go well together in the same sentence but croatia's most beautiful city is now very firmly on the tourist trail. as a result, prices for everything from coffee to souvenirs have soared and finding bargains is challenging. for eating, drinking, chilling and quite possibly sleeping, i urge you to consider cavtat. at spectacular 45 minute boat ride from the old harbour in dubrovnik. this ancient town was once a greek outpost, a roman colony and is now a backwater without the crowds and the high prices of dubrovnik. edward mcgeary has a romantic plan for 2020.

one of the most romantic greek islands is the island of milos, it's only a short way away from martin's bay ferry, and has great cuisine. one of the most romantic greek islands is the island of milos, it's only four hours away away from martin's bay ferry, and has great cuisine. many viewers have got in touch to say they want to switch from air to rail, but some say that they are finding it very difficult to source international train tickets.

i have many years experience of organising rail travel in europe, and regretfully i still haven't found an agent who can successfully connect any two points on the continent. however, i hope i can help you reach the swedish capital. because you know exactly where you want to be when, i don't recommend interrail. instead, i recommend you use french railways, from there, german railways can get you to copenhagen in several hops but on a single ticket, and swedish railways will go from the danish capital to stockholm and under six hours. the earlier you book and the more flexible you can be, the lower the cost. wherever you are heading, i'm here to help. just send in your questions, i will do my very best to find you an answer.

from me, the global guru, bye for now and see you next time. rwanda has just topped the 2020 africa destination list, and i am here in the capital kigali. the city is a hub for new start—ups, it has a buzzing art scene and great local entertainment. but while most travellers rush through here to get straight to the rwandan wildlife, i have come to see what the capital has to offer. the city is impressively spotless, there is wi—fi everywhere, and perhaps most importantly, there is a real sense of pride bursting from every single person i talk to.

this is thanks, in no small part, to the national made in rwanda initiative. it's a movement to support and inspire local businesses, and the made in rwanda label is now a badge of honour. this all reflects the new rwandan identity. no longer divided along ethnic or tribal lines. i'm at the house of teo, where this designer set up shop eight years ago, and he has seen his brand really grow in popularity since the launch of made in rwanda. he has even seen his clothes on the runway of black panther. i try to utilise as much local talent and expertise as i can. it is very important that we build a local ecosystem of models, photographers, lighting experts. only when we do that, we can say that we have a local fashion industry. i'm dying to find out about the wakanda suit.

the suit was made remotely and teo worked from photographs, working right down to the wire. got to him about three or four hours before the premiere. cutting it fine! bloodshot eyes because you haven't slept? even when he got the suit, i was not even sure it would fit. it was an important time for rwandan fashion. teo and other designers are not only thriving here in rwanda, they are also selling their goods abroad. fashion isn't the only thing that is growing here thanks to the made in rwanda slogan. music and dance has always been a way for people to express themselves, and now with the national revival. you can't go far here without hearing a drumbeat. inema is one of east africa's largest a rt centres, with a range of rwandan cultural experiences. how do i look? good?

i've noticed there's a real sense of pride to be rwandan. why is this dance so symbolic of rwandan culture? it helps the kids have some sort of identity to grow, understanding the dance, their culture, it is very good as you move forward. i guess you can tell what's going to happen next. oh man, here we go. laughter i think i made it through about half of that choreography. these kids are so good!

i've had so much fun today getting stuck into rwandan culture. now, i'm ordering a cocktail, i'm about to kick back and enjoy a concert, rwandan style. i'm here to see deo perform — one of kigali's rising music sensations. the inanga is our cultural traditional music, it's our history, it's our identity. many years ago it was getting disappeared, so i decided to introduce my music to the new world. such a beautiful sound. the lyrics of your music, what do they mean? what are you saying in your songs? i want everybody to know our culture, how we are doing, our history. listen to our story, where we come from, it gives the inspiration to other nations, so i want to tell the people about our country.

this new generation of rwandans who have now moved on from the country's darker, violent past, are shedding light and colour across the country. and while most travellers rush through kigali, it is worth setting some time aside to experience the people, their passion and their crafts in this bustling city. that's it for this week. join us, if you can, next week when... kat is back in iceland where a new kind of sanctuary for beluga whales is getting ready for its residents. oh, if you insist. there we go. oh, that was a little burp! catch that, if you can, but in the mean time, don't forget we are all over social media.

so why not sign up to us there, and join us out here on the road in real—time, also share your travel stories with the rest of the world. until then, from me and the rest of the team, it is goodbye. well, the weekend is just around the corner and the weather, well, you know, is looking a little mixed. there's bound to be some rain in the forecast. of course, there is. it won't be raining all the time. a bit of brightness thrown in there as well but on the whole, you know, it's autumn, it's what we'd expect to see this time of the year. and there is indeed a lot of cloud on the satellite picture. 0ne weather system here, another one sitting on top of us

is actually an area of low pressure that's over the uk right now, shrouding our skies. low grey skies with drizzle, mist and mirk. drizzle particularly across south of the country and central areas. towards the early hours of friday, probably showers, so bursts of slightly heavier rain, affecting the south coast, maybe wales too. here, a little bit milder, butjust a tad. i mean, it's hardly a difference really. 6, 7, 8 degrees maybe in the south. a little bit colder and clearer in western and central scotland, maybe around 3 degrees, 2 or 3. so here's the forecast for friday, so we've got some showers there in the south of the country, in the south—west, some spots of rain also for central and southern scotland, as well as northern ireland. but the real rain arrives in wales and the south—west of england, maybe the midlands, later in the afternoon on friday, so this is going to be the soggy bit. so that was friday, this is saturday now, and a blob of rain, cloud and rain, sitting on top of the uk. i think most of us will get at least a few spots of rain.

the driest weather across the north of scotland and actually later on saturday it might dry out in london, the south—east, possibly east anglia as well. so that's saturday. sunday is looking a little bit better, we think, and that is because we are going to be inbetween weather systems, so a low pressure approaches the south—west of the uk on sunday, one moves out of the way so we are inbetween. this is that inbetween bit here and there are bound to be some sunny breaks so for places like liverpool, manchester, birmingham, london, i suspect sunday might actually end up being a pretty decent day, whereas in the south—west, in wales, with that next low approaching, eventually the rain and wales, with that next low approaching, eventually the rain will reach you. it certainly looks like it might be raining quite early in the day i think in places like cornwall. that sunday low is still over us on monday — it's very slow moving. normally lows woosh across the atlantic. these are very sluggish and it

decides to park itself across the uk. i think, looking at next week, it's going to be very autumnal, very typical for the time of year next week, very changeable. temperature of around ten or 11 and at times rain. that's it, bye bye.
