5:01 pm
in tomorrow's local elections — in case of serious disruption and coming up in sport at 5.30 — at polling stations. jose mourinho‘s first game in charge at tottenham ends in a 3—2 win back on track — at west ham. good afternoon. gps have voted to reduce visits to patients‘ homes, saying they "no longer have the capacity" to offer them. at a conference on friday, doctors in england supported a proposal to take the requirement to provide home visits out of their nhs contract. the health secretary, matt hancock, said the idea was a "complete non—starter". jenny kumah reports. family doctors say their workload is on the rise and this, coupled with
5:02 pm
falling gdp numbers, mean something has to give. one of the daily pressures that gp practices are under is the obligation to do home visits. what would be much better is if we had a dedicated home visiting team with people with the time to be able to do this throughout the day, rather than gps having to squeeze it in. under the proposals home visits would not be scrapped completely but delivered by a separate service. similar to the way out—of—hours care has been contracted out. sometimes a gp has to go and see someone and they might be too frail to travel. and that has always been part of the vocation of being a gp and it will continue. so these proposals won't go any further, but what we will do is train, fund and recruit more gps. meanwhile, labour is promising more cash to help out. they are saying, as a point of desperation, they can no longer continue
5:03 pm
those home visits. this is a siren call to all of us, that the funding of the nhs has to be increased so that gps can undertake those home visits. doctors say they recognise that vulnerable, complex and end—of—life patients will need home visits. they just want to see a change of policy to ensure patients get a suitable service. jenny kumah, bbc news. earlier i spoke to dr rebecca fisher, a gp and senior policy fellow at the independent charity, the health foundation. i asked her what pressures gps are facing in terms of what they can and can't do for patients. i think it's clear we're feeling pressures in general practice now at an unprecedented level. it's been a decade of significance n underfunding for the nhs as a whole, but particularly in general practice relative to the volume of work that we do for the nhs. so we see about 90% of patient
5:04 pm
contacts, but with less than 10% of the funding over the last decade that's translated into is more gps leaving them profession than we have had entering. so we've got real funding constraints and real workforce pressures. jeremy corbyn has defended his decision to remain neutral in any future brexit referendum if labour wins power. he told last night's bbc question time leaders' special he wouldn't campaign to remain in the eu or leave it under terms labour hopes to renegotiate. mr corbyn said it would allow him to "credibly" carry out whichever result the public voted for. the prime minister questioned how mr corbyn could be "indifferent" on the issue. our political correspondent tom barton reports. he knows which side he's on in this fight between workers and the multinational corporation, but on the fight between leave and remain, jeremy corbyn says he's not picking sides. if he becomes prime minister and holds another referendum he will,
5:05 pm
he says, remain strictly neutral. being an honest broker and listening to everyone is actually a sign of strength and a sign of maturity. our country has to come together, we cannot go on forever being divided by how people voted in 2016. his decision to remain neutralfirst revealed in last night's question time leaders' special. i will adopt, if i am prime minister, a neutral stand so i can credibly carry out the results to bring our community and country together. a bruising encounter for all involved, including the lib dems'jo swinson. you think revoking article 50 which involved millions of people is stupid and didn't know what we were voting for? that doesn't mean that you or anybody like you are stupid, it means we disagree. nicola sturgeon suggested the snp would pile the pressure on labour to offer another independence referendum.
5:06 pm
in terms of what i would seek to win from a minority labour government, obviously i would ask for and expect jeremy corbyn to respect the right of the scottish people to choose their own future. it is not for westminster to decide, it is for the people of scotland. while the prime minister faced questions on trust. how important is it for someone in your position of power to always tell the truth? it is absolutely vital and i think the issue of trust in politics is central to this election. and, fundamental to the corrosion of trust in politics. the tory leader's performance today defended by one of his ministers. on one of the critical questions of our time at brexit, we have a clear plan agreed with the eu ready to go. and in sharp contrast to what we saw in the debate last night, jeremy corbyn saying he has decided to be indecisive on brexit. the lib dems' jo swinson also unimpressed by the labour
5:07 pm
leader's new stance. they want a leader, not a bystander. itjust beggars belief that somebody who is standing for the role of leading our country can say on the biggest issue we have faced for generations, they are not going to take a position. it is a total abdication of leadership. jeremy corbyn will have hope to have put this question behind him. his opponents want it to remain front and centre. tom barton, bbc news. our political correspondent, tom barton, told me why it's only now thatjeremy corbyn has decided to say that he would remain brexit neutral. he has been asked about this question over his stance on another referendum, which way he would campaign overand
5:08 pm
referendum, which way he would campaign over and over again and i think he felt people around him felt he needed to try to draw a line under that and move on and they saw this as a way of doing that. he also sees this as a way of him being what he calls an honest broker within this process of holding the second referendum and also implementing the outcome having been neutral during the process. it hasn't perhaps not surprisingly got soumare with his political opponents, you have some in the report there. nigel farage has also been speaking about it. total lack of leadership. this is the defining issue of our times are deliberately just the defining issue of our times are deliberatelyjust says he doesn't know which side he will back andy reason he is saying that as that liberal party in parliament are remain as anjeremy corbyn knows
5:09 pm
that a 5 million liberal lead voters and his try to keep them both together and it is not going to work. we have had from the tories and lib dems and the snp and nicola sturgeon also pretty scathing about it. i don't think that is accessible at all, it is a continuation of his woeful lack of leadership on brexit. i think people have the right to expect someone aspiring to be play minister saviour of the stand on the issue of the uk being in the eu. that statement of neutrality will simply feed the suspicion that many people have that jeremy corbyn actually once the uk to be out of the eu but simply as divine to see that. —— isn't willing to see that. what we don't know is yet what form
5:10 pm
a negotiation would take and what then would be presented to people as an alternative to remaining. you remain on the terms be already have on lead but an hour terms not on the once borisjohnson negotiated. on lead but an hour terms not on the once boris johnson negotiated. that is has big pitch on brexitjeremy corbyn, he says the borisjohnson deal is no good, worse than the deal negotiated by theresa may anti—think she could do a betterjob. what would it look like? it is impossible to know for sure but he has said it would involve remaining antifederalists within the customs union and continuing to trade, to be a different brexit. the conservatives are due to publish the ma nifesto conservatives are due to publish the manifesto tomorrow which is unusual to say the least. absolutely. nothing like that has been done before on a sunday, certainly not
5:11 pm
for the party which is most closely associated with the church of england here and the uk, something which anybody would years ago have expected to be done by know. which anybody would years ago have expected to be done by knowm expected to be done by know. it is a seven day a week 24—hour news cycle. haven't told us why the making this breakfrom haven't told us why the making this break from tradition, haven't told us why the making this breakfrom tradition, some have suggested is to do tv audiences, bigger audiences for the detained use buttons on a sunday, made up of a different group of people perhaps the tories see some sort of strategic advantage and trying to reach that audience. some slightly more cynical suggestions that perhaps trying to avoid scrutiny by the sunday papers, putting it out after the question time debate, not
5:12 pm
after the question time debate, not a manifesto to defend. as for what is in it, the three once we can expect to be on the front cover, get an exit is done. we don't know the rest, we think it will be a conservative manifesto in the article said that they will not be trying to do anything to radical, because the bond very badly and 2017. theresa may was saying nothing has changed and it didn't condone all well. the one thing they will be trying to achieve tomorrow as a ma nifesto trying to achieve tomorrow as a manifesto which makes very few waves are ripples in the pond.

5:15 pm
good evening. jeremy corbyn has defended his decision to remain neutral in any future brexit referendum if labour wins power. he told last night's bbc question time leaders' special he wouldn't campaign to leave or remain in the eu. the labour leader said it would allow him to "credibly" carry out what voters then decide. prime minister boris johnson questioned how mr corbyn could be "indifferent" on the issue. our political correspondent
5:16 pm
nick eardley reports. whatever your priority in their selection, brexit is one of the biggest issues facing the country. four months labour has walked a political tightrope trying to keep eve ryo ne political tightrope trying to keep everyone happy. ifjeremy corbyn wins power he is promising a new deal and another referendum but has confirmed he won't pick a side. you are saying you will remain neutral? first heard here. some see that as wea k first heard here. some see that as weak and indecisive but he says it is the opposite. i think being an honest broker and listening to every one is a sign of strength and maturity. we cannot go on forever being divided by how people voted in 2016. boris johnson faced pressure on the question of trust and would love to keep the election focused on
5:17 pm
brexit, saying his deal is ready to go and after months of bitter splits his party is uniting around it. on the critical question on brexit we have a clear plan, a deal ready to go and in sharp contrast to what we saw in this debate last night of jeremy corbyn saying he was deciding to be indecisive. she agrees, even if she is on the other side of the debate. jo swinson says she will stop brexit right awake in the unlikely event she wins power. last night she faced pressure from some who branded that anti—democratic but the lib dem leader says she is the champion of those who want to cancel brexit. they want a leader, not a bystander. it beggars belief that somebody who is standing for the role of leading our country can say on the biggest issue we have faced for generations they will not take a
5:18 pm
position. it's an abdication of leadership. the snp, who could be crucial in a hung parliament, were scathing. people have a right to expect that an aspiring prime minister says where they stand on further the uk it should be in or out of the eu. that statement of so—called neutrality will feed the suspicion many people have that jeremy corbyn actually wants the uk to be out of the eu but is not willing to say that. we know whose side we, the labour party, are on. jeremy corbyn has been taking sides on many issues, promising to take on the elite on behalf of what he calls the elite on behalf of what he calls the money but on brexit he is keeping his cards close to his chest. perhaps we should ask the question why. this is the latest step in a long balancing act forjeremy corbyn
5:19 pm
with brexit, we note that senior members of the labour party, parts of his inner circle, people who would beat senior ministers if the one power and wind back remain whatever happens want him to be the same but again there were senior members who do not think remain is the best idea and say you have to see through the solution to leave the eu, they would rather with a labour deal. mr corbyn has the same issue with voters, he is trying to attract remain voters who don't want to leave the eu without alienating labour voting areas which also backed leave in 2016. the leadership 110w backed leave in 2016. the leadership now hopes you can't say he will be an honest broker, whether you are leave or remain jeremy an honest broker, whether you are leave or remainjeremy corbyn will represent you and in the referendum will listen to your views and
5:20 pm
whatever you voted he will seek you through but there are labour candidates and ministers who are worried that it makes the party look indecisive. gps have voted to reduce visits to patients' homes, saying they "no longer have the capacity" to offer them. doctors supported the proposal at a meeting of english local medical committees yesterday. but the health secretary, matt hancock, said the idea of taking home visits out of gps' contracts was a "complete non—starter". jenny kumah reports. family doctors say their workload is on the rise, and this, coupled with falling gp numbers, means something has to give. in his surgery in leeds, dr richard bowtree is well aware of the strain that practices like his are under. one of the daily pressures that gp practices are under is the obligation to do home visits. what would be much better is if we had a dedicated home visiting team with people with the time to be able to do this throughout the day, rather than gps having to squeeze it in.
5:21 pm
under the proposals, home visits would not be scrapped completely but delivered by a separate service, similar to the way out—of—hours care has been contracted out. sometimes a gp has to go and see someone and they might be too frail to travel. and that's always been part of the vocation of being a gp and it will continue, so these proposals won't go any further, but what we will do is train, fund and recruit more gps. they are saying it's a point of desperation, they can no longer continue those home visits. i think this is a siren call to all of us, a siren call that the funding of the nhs has to be increased so that gps can undertake those home visits. doctors say they recognise that vulnerable, complex and end—of—life patients will need home visits. theyjust want to see a change of policy to ensure patients get a suitable service. jenny kumah, bbc news.
5:22 pm
millions of people in hong kong are preparing to vote in local elections on sunday. the vote is being seen as an important measure of public feeling, after almost six months of pro—democracy protests. earlier this week there were more violent clashes between demonstrators and police outside hong kong's polytechnic university. the authorities have threatened to suspend voting if there's more violence. jose mourinho insists he "just helped a bit" as tottenham hotspur won their first game with him in charge with a 3—2 win at west ham. the former manchester united and chelsea boss was announced as spurs manager after mauricio pochettino was sacked earlier this week. our sports correspondent joe wilson reports. dark coat, silver hair — you know who it is before he turns round, don't you? jose mourinho is world famous but he's starting again and the last boss was much loved at spurs, so what's he got?
5:23 pm
well, give him 35 minutes. the first goal owed much to son's skill but roberto, west ham's goalkeeper, was just a witness. looking for the goal and they find it! just what tottenham needed and mourinho had the look. and now observe his players, tottenham battling for the ball, tearing forwards. mourinho picked lucas mora for this game and there he was. tottenham have scored again. energy, teamwork... good ball in, it's another goal. when harry kane headed in tottenham's third, that was the game. well, yes, but spurs tired and conceded two late goals as west ham revived themselves, too late to change the fate of the match but enough to show the spurs manager his challenge, so would he smile? just about. remember, he is humble. it's not about me. it's about the players and it's about the club. very important victory away. too long without a victory. i will hate if somebody says
5:24 pm
jose made an impact. i made no impact, nothing, but ijust helped them a little bit to win this match. yeah, the people mourinho really needs to win over are his players, so from what we saw, so far so good. joe wilson, bbc news. england's bowlers are struggling in the first test against new zealand at mount maunganui. they took just two wickets on day three. a missed catch from ben stokes proved costly with bj watling going on to get an unbeaten century for the hosts. new zealand closed on 394—6 — a lead of a1. and finally a story to gladden the heart of model makers everywhere. a model railway exhibit which was destroyed by vandals has gone back on display after being restored thanks to an outpouring of donations, including from sir rod stewart. the display in lincolnshire had been valued at £30,000. it took 25 club members
5:25 pm
a thousand hours to restore. there's more throughout the evening on the bbc news channel. we're back with the late news at 10pm. now on bbc one, it's time for the news where you are. hello there. friday night was the first time it's been entirely frost free across the uk since bonfire night. and over the next few days and nights we're going to keep in this mild picture, but it comes with a lot of cloud and there will be some rain at times as well. now, on sunday, we're in between weather systems, so should be a lot drier. the next area of low pressure, big warnings coming in slowly from the atlantic. it'll arrive in the southwest by the end of the day. still some rain to clear away, though, across the northeast of scotland. the northern isles, showers around these irish sea coastal areas. but on the whole, dry it a lot of cloud. again, there won't be much sunshine. dull and misty morning for many,
5:26 pm
perhaps some sunshine in the southeast corner of england and later up towards the moray. temperatures similar to what we've been seeing on saturday. and then we've got this rain and strengthening winds arriving into the far south west of england and wales during sunday evening. that area of low pressure then starts to take charge. the jet stream is a little further south than we'd expect at this time of the year. and that's picking up those areas of low pressure and pushing them in from the south west. so this is the picture on monday. some rain in northern ireland and later in scotland. most of is going to be affecting england and wales, where the winds will be a bit stronger as well. mild again, not a great deal of sunshine, mind you. perhaps the best of that in the far north of scotland, where temperatures aren't quite as high. now that weather system moves through. we keep the unsettled weather going into tuesday. next weather system coming in from the atlantic contain some tropical air from ex tropical storm sebastian. and it brings a little bit of uncertainty regarding the strength of the wind in the southwest. but we are likely to find it turning wetter across the southwest of england and wales,
5:27 pm
the midlands towards the south. so this area of the uk turning wetter through the day. elsewhere, something a little bit dry, still quite cloudy. some sunshine at times. a few showers too, tempts again in double figures. so it's mild again as we run through tuesday night and into wednesday. we dominated by this large area of low pressure, and that means some showers or longer spells of rain, perhaps some of the heaviest rain towards the southeast of england. and then also in the northeast of scotland. different wind flows, though. you can see more of a south to south westerly wind in the southeast of england, hence milder, but a cooler northeasterly beginning to arrive across scotland. that's because of the position of the area of low pressure. and that low is going to slowly wander its way towards the low countries, further into europe, leaving our shores behind. so we're getting this idea of a northeasterly airflow becoming established on thursday. that's going to bring some showery burst of rain, particularly for the eastern side of the uk further west, it may well be a bit drier and brighter, maybe even some sunshine. but it's getting
5:28 pm
colder from the north. those temperatures in glasgow back to eight degrees. and you can see as we head towards the end of the week how that colder air pushes down across the uk, brings the risk of frost for northern areas in particular. now, we're still on the wrong side of the jet stream, if you like, that continues to feed areas of low pressure towards the southwest for a while. and then another one coming all the way down from iceland that's going to drag down some colder air with itjust keeps the unsettled theme going and picks up some stronger winds. so we're in the colder air towards the end of the month as we head towards december, but we start to see some milder air coming in from the atlantic. but that's some way off. the theme for the outlook is that it is going to be a bit colder. we've got the risk of frost mainly in the north. there'll be some showers or some longer spells of rain and perhaps even a little bit of snow over the tops of the scottish mountains.
5:29 pm
5:30 pm
hello, this is bbc news. the headlines. the health secretary says he'll block any attempts by gps to have home visits removed from their contracts. it isn't going to wash, it isn't going to happen. they say that they wa nt to going to happen. they say that they want to negotiate to and home visits but of course gps need to do home visits. the conservaitves and lib dems attackjeremy corbyn for saying he'll stay neutral in any future brexit referendum. but the labour leader says it's the right thing to do: i think being an honest broker and listening to everyone is actually a sign of strength and a sign of maturity. the authorities in hong kong threaten to suspend voting
5:31 pm
in tomorrow's local elections — in case of serious disruption at polling stations. back on track — the model display destroyed by vandals — now on show once more thanks to help from sir rod stewart and thousands of other supporters. sport and for a full round up, from the bbc sport centre. we start with football and jose mourinho's reign at tottenham has got off to the perfect start after they beat west ham in the day's early premier league game. spurs took the lead just after the half hour mark when son heung min fired in. lucas moura added a second goal before harry kane got their third mourinho certainly enjoyed that one. despite a late fight back from west ham, spurs held on for a 3—2 victory.
5:32 pm
is not about me. it is about the players in the cloud. we have waited too long without a victory and too much pressure on the boys, also in relationship to that, it is very important. three points, we had a little jump in the table and more important for that is for the play staff that smile, for them to go to the dressing room with the music on and happy and that is very important. liverpool won a thrilling game against crystal palace. 2—1 the final score. an 85th minute goal from roberto firmino means the league leaders maintain their eight point advantage at the top of the table. crsystal palace had looked like coming away with a point after wilfred zaha had equalised a few minutes earlier. liverpool's victory means they have now gone 30 games unbeaten
5:33 pm
in the premier league. we won it, and that is absolutely 0k, we won it, and that is absolutely ok, you don't have to go so far if you just want that. i liked a lot of the performance, not everything, but some things are not there and we see the more often, the good things at least. norwich city beat everton 2—nil to move off the bottom of the table. it is only norwich's third win of the season. a home defeat for everton sees them drop to 15th place and adds to the pressure on their manager, marco silva arsenal rescued a point to draw 2—all with southampton. alexandre lacazette with the late equaliser, six minutes into added time but despite the draw the pressure remains on the arsenal manager, unai emery after a poor performance which sees the london side in ninth place and possibly more significantly, nine points worse off than at this stage stage last season. southamptno remain in the relegation zone in the day's other games wolves
5:34 pm
are up to fifth place after a 2—1win over bournemouth. secod placed, leicester city beat brighton 2—nil. burnley beat watford 3—nil and are in sixth place while watford are now bottom of the table. celtic trashed livingstone a—nil at celtic park to extend their lead the top of the scottish premiership. leigh griffiths made his return for celtic. the scotland striker played the final 22 minutes, three months on from his last appearance having ta ken time away from the sport struggling with depression. elsewhere hibernian beat motherwell 3—1, st mirren moved off the bottom of the table with a 2—1 win against ross county and struggling hearts were beaten by kilmarnock 3—nil — all three kimarnock goals were scored in the first 16 minutes. in spain, barcelona scored late as they had to come from behind to beat bottom club leganes. the spanish champions trailed at half time but goals from luis suarez and arturo vidal put the leaders three points clear of rivals real madrid, who play real sociedad later.
5:35 pm
it was a tough day for england's cricketers with their bowlers only taking two wickets on day three of the first test again new zealand. an unbeaten century from bj watling helped put new zealand in control as they closed on 394—6, that's 41 runs ahead. john watson reports. the test became this, it could've been different, they mayjust 31 when this happened. yes, look again. that was ben stokes dropping the catch. it seemed even more significant as the day wore on. because even though they had success , because even though they had success, henry nichols for a1, that represented 50% of the wickets england took all day. take settling down into a rhythm a patient scoring which england tried in vain to disrupt and with him, the big man.
5:36 pm
the grand home, the partnership amassed over 100 runs. there was another tactic england employed that brought the many joy. another tactic england employed that brought the manyjoy. it took another tactic england employed that brought the many joy. it took some scintillating fielding to get rid of the grand home. this coming from a man playing in his first match. don's catch deserves a second look, he will have rents to make an england's second inning. because his performance took them into the league. it troubles england this weekend, but two wickets in one day is not the team they need to be in any circumstance. great britain are in action in the semi finals of tennis's davis cup. they are taking on spain but andy murray is not part of the team for this match. kyle edmund playing against feliciano lopez who thought he would be playing pablo carreno busta. dan evans — rafael nadal

biggar‘s decisive penalty. england's women scored ten tries as they crushed italy 60—3 in bedford to complete a clean sweep of victories from their autumn internationals. the red roses' driving maul and scrum were imperious throughout. world player of the year emily scarratt was on the scoresheet. england finish the year with 12 wins from 13 games and extend their run of victories on home soil up to 17. to ascot next and surname beat favourite altior to win the christy 1965 chase in what was one of the most hotly anticipated head to head showdowns in recent years. surname was the 5—2 second favourite, ridden by harry cobden and trained by paul nicholls, and he led the race from start to finish. altior, who was unbeaten before the race couldn't respond when cyrname made a run for home with three fences remaining. tommy fleetwood still has a chance to win his second race

to dubai title but his ryder cup team—matejon rahm has thrown a spanner in the works. there are various ways in which both can be named europe's best golfer at the season—ending tour championship. rahm is currently ahead, but as our golf correspondent iain carter explains, fleetwood is still in contetnion. he is, but he still has an awful lot of work to do, one under parfor tommy, so four shots off the lead here and he really needs to win becausejohn here and he really needs to win because john has gone here and he really needs to win becausejohn has gone into the lead with michael lorenzo at 15 under par and that means that he is not the favourite to win the season, the race to dubai, but fleetwood is definitely in the mix, it four shots behind. fourth place but has to ove 1120 m e behind. fourth place but has to overcome rory mcelroy, but the biggest threat undoubtedly isjohn, his team—mate. the wrist to dubai,
5:41 pm
he did not play enough counting events to do that, but he can sign off in style and everything points to that possibility because the bounce back after his second round of 7a with a really superb 65 today, it is taken in into third place was just a few shots off the league, so rory mcelroy is the big threat, michael lorenzo and his share of the lead, it is really going to build up toa lead, it is really going to build up to a very exciting to climax the european tour season. later this evening the final of the copa libertadores kicks off in peru. the biggest game in south american football sees the brazilian side flamengo take on reigning champions river plate from argentina. you can watch it live on bbc two — coverage starts at 7.a5. but as adam wild reports, the build—up to the game has been anything but straight forward. reaching the final of the event can ta ke reaching the final of the event can take patients. just ask 1981, this

trophy. personally, i prefera single final. it is more fair. the best will win and whoever has the best will win and whoever has the best strategy in place the best game on the day. it is more exciting and becomes a big event, fans enjoy the moment more. for the first wind and the generation with a plate of far more accustomed to such success, still, they are fully aware of the task ahead. i believe we are facing a very complicated driver. they are a very complicated driver. they are a team that plays well and pushes it score like we do and looks to win. this is the kind of match we have to be very focused. who makes fewer mistakes will win the game. that's the kind of match that we would like and are used too. we are ready for this final. after the weight, the uncertainty of the final is nearly here. it is being referred to as the unique final, given circumstances, it is hard to argue.
5:44 pm
that's all the sport for now. now on bbc news it is time for the travel show. . .. we start this week in copenhagen. by 2025, the danes hope this will become the worlds very first carbon neutral capital city. we send katmo to find out how they're getting on. denmark is a country that takes its equal friendly reputation very seriously. it is claimed that more than two thirds of their waste is recycled and 30% of all 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 on a cold winters day.
5:45 pm
instead i am on a go boat, it is one of the 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 most unlikely of buildings, a power station. fuelled by waste and billed as one of the most environmentally friendly plants of its kind. opened last month, the copan hill spans more than a0,000 m2. this slope i'm on works its way from the bottom all the way up the side of the building and it is opened 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
5:46 pm
the slope from discoloring. so they're stilljust doing a bit of work up here, but look, right over there. that is 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 gas treatment areas, all the way up to about 90 metres and one of the other things about denmark is, danes love to ski but denmark is completely flat, so they will drive for three hours to sweden to ski on a slope that is 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 for the city of copenhagen.
5:47 pm
sustainability tends to be this thing that is seen as a protestant act, sustainability is something you do that means you have to do less of something and that you somehow have to have less life experience, but what we really wanted to do with this project was to express the somehow sustainability can be something that is positive and fun and actually gives more back to people and the city. inside, a glass lift shows people of the inner workings of the power station. and tools are available as apt pro skier activity. so basically what is going on, this is to be a mix of left over tree branches, but also general waste as well. that is correct, we have received waste from five municipalities, both from households and from industries, all the weights and from industries, all the waste that cannot be recycled. how often do these trucks come in?
5:48 pm
there seems to be a very steady flow even just standing over the past few minutes. 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. this is where the waste is being incinerated, i will show you guys here, it is 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, will keep on producing waste in copenhagen and the rest of the world. so this is a product that is already here, so we might also use it for something reasonable
5:49 pm
that is something that makes sense. back on the slope, it is time for me to get my skis on. i have not been on a dry ski slope for maybe 15 years. you will have fun, it's not actual snow. it is quite different. speed is your friend up there, so. speed is my friend? yeah. definitely. i don't really know how this is going to go, i think i'm just going to wipe out. i just want to make it down without falling over. after that initial wobble, i was soon feeling confident...
5:50 pm
..maybe a bit too confident. well, that went really well. and the copan hills is open now to skiers of all abilities. rwanda has just topped the 2020 africa destination lists and i'm here in the capital, kigali. the city is a hub for new startups it has a buzzing art scene in local entertainment. but while most travellers whizz through here through to get straight through to the rwandan wildlife, i am here to see what the capital has to offer. welcome to rwanda! the city is incredibly spotless! there is wi—fi everywhere and perhaps most importantly, there is a real sense of pride bursting from every single
5:51 pm
person i talked to. this is thanks in no small part to the national made an rwanda initiative. in rwanda initiative. it is 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 tayo where this designer, matthew, set up shop eight years ago and he has seen his brand with the growing popularity since the launch of made in rwanda last year. he's even seeing his close stranded on the red carpet of the premier blockbuster film, black panther. i want to show the best of rwanda, there is a lot of undiscovered talent here. it is part of my mandate to utilise as much local talent and expertise as i can. it's very important that we build a local
5:52 pm
ecosystem of models, photographers, lighting experts, only when we do that we can say that we have a local fashion industry. tayo and other city designers are not only thriving here in rwanda, but are now selling their goods abroad. fashion is not 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 arts centres, with a range of rwandan cultural experiences. how do i look? good? i have noticed this real sense of pride to be rwandan. why is this dance so symbolic of rwandan culture? it is very essential for the kids to have some sort of identity, and to grow understanding of dance, their culture, it is very good as you move forward.
5:53 pm
well, i guess you can tell what's going to happen next. oh man, here we go! 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 and i am about to kick back and enjoy a concert, rwandan style. i am here to see dayo perform, one of kigali's rising music sensations.
5:54 pm
the inanga is our cultural, traditional music. it is our history, it is 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 everyone to know our culture, how we are doing, our history. if everybody listens to our story, where we come from, how we are going on. 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 keeping some time aside to explore the people, their passion, and their crafts
5:55 pm
in this bustling city. hello there. friday night was the first time it's been entirely frost free across the uk since bonfire night. and over the next few days and nights we're going to keep in this mild picture, but it comes with a lot of cloud and there will be some rain at times as well. now, on sunday, we're in between weather systems, so should be a lot drier. the next area of low pressure, big warnings coming in slowly from the atlantic. it'll arrive in the southwest by the end of the day. still some rain to clear away, though, across the northeast of scotland. the northern isles, showers around these irish sea coastal areas. but on the whole, dry it a lot of cloud. again, there won't be much sunshine. dull and misty morning for many, perhaps some sunshine in the southeast corner of england and later up towards the moray. temperatures similar to what we've been seeing on saturday.
5:56 pm
and then we've got this rain and strengthening winds arriving into the far south west of england and wales during sunday evening. that area of low pressure then starts to take charge. the jet stream is a little further south than we'd expect at this time of the year. and that's picking up those areas of low pressure and pushing them in from the south west. so this is the picture on monday. some rain in northern ireland and later in scotland. most of is going to be affecting england and wales, where the winds will be a bit stronger as well. mild again, not a great deal of sunshine, mind you. perhaps the best of that in the far north of scotland, where temperatures aren't quite as high. now that weather system moves through. we keep the unsettled weather going into tuesday. next weather system coming in from the atlantic contain some tropical air from ex tropical storm sebastian.
5:57 pm
and it brings a little bit of uncertainty regarding the strength of the wind in the southwest. but we are likely to find it turning wetter across the southwest of england and wales, the midlands towards the south. so this area of the uk turning wetter through the day. elsewhere, something a little bit dry, still quite cloudy. some sunshine at times. a few showers too, tempts again in double figures. so it's mild again as we run through tuesday night and into wednesday. we dominated by this large area of low pressure, and that means some showers or longer spells of rain, perhaps some of the heaviest rain towards the southeast of england. and then also in the northeast of scotland. different wind flows, though. you can see more of a south to south westerly wind in the southeast of england, hence milder, but a cooler northeasterly beginning to arrive across scotland. that's because of the position of the area of low pressure. and that low is going to slowly wander its way towards the low countries, further into europe, leaving our shores behind. so we're getting this idea of a northeasterly airflow becoming established on thursday. that's going to bring some showery burst of rain, particularly for the eastern side of the uk further west, it may well be a bit drier and brighter, maybe even some sunshine. but it's getting colder from the north. those temperatures in glasgow back to eight degrees.
5:58 pm
and you can see as we head towards the end of the week how that colder air pushes down across the uk, brings the risk of frost for northern areas in particular. now, we're still on the wrong side of the jet stream, if you like, that continues to feed areas of low pressure towards the southwest for a while. and then another one coming all the way down from iceland that's going to drag down some colder air with itjust keeps the unsettled theme going and picks up some stronger winds. so we're in the colder air towards the end of the month as we head towards december, but we start to see some milder air coming in from the atlantic. but that's some way off. the theme for the outlook is that it is going to be a bit colder. we've got the risk of frost mainly in the north. there'll be some showers or some longer spells of rain and perhaps 00:58:41,629 --> 2147483052:06:05,529 even a little bit of snow over 2147483052:06:05,529 --> 4294966103:13:29,430 the tops of the scottish mountains.
