like the time i got to go behind the scenes at what must be one of the biggest flower shows on earth. and rajan got to fly with falcons. oh, yes! plus, we've got an update — expo 2020 now postponed until next year. hello, and welcome to the travel show, coming again this week from my place here in london. now, i don't usually get to spend much time here because i'm normally out on the road,

but with travel pretty much cancelled over the last couple of months, i've had a chance to take a look back at some of my favourite trips here on the travel show. now, this year was meant to be a big one for dubai. it was down to host expo 2020, dubbed the greatest show of ourtime... voice-over: we humans, we've come a long way to get where we are today. ..running between october and next march with over 192 country pavilions and 60 live daily shows — well, that was the plan before the coronavirus pandemic hit and now, the expo has been postponed until next year. if we integrate and ideate, we can make the future great. in a moment, i'll be getting an update on what's happening with that. plus, news on how dubai coped with the lockdown

and what it's like there at the moment. first, though, let's take a look back at my first ever visit to dubai back in january last year. now, while i was out there, i was definitely expecting to find a fair amount of glass, steel and bling, but what i didn't expect was a big drive on making living and holidaying out there more sustainable. and just a quick reminder — this was filmed long before anyone had ever heard of social distancing. this is sustainable city. now, it's only 20 minutes away from the heart of dubai, where you'll find all those massive skyscrapers, and over 500 families live here and it's fast becoming a tourist attraction in its own right. hello, hadeel! hello! welcome to the city! thank you! how are you? i'm good! all right!

are you ready for a tour? yes, please! yallah, let's go. i like that! woo! the whole city was built to cover all environmental, economic and social sustainabilities, so it's designed to use clean energy from solar panels and to recycle 100% of water and waste, to encourage the use of electric buggies and electric shuttles. i was going to say, i don't see many cars 01’ buses. yes, yes, so the residential cluster was designed to encourage walkability. it's a no car—zone. it's designed with a narrow circuit encourage people to walk and use their bikes inside the community, and they have the electric buggies, which you see on the side. 0oh, look at this place! this is a 3—bedroom villa. uh-huh. this is something that i'm intrigued about. you've got a flat—screen tv, you've got lights, i can see power points everywhere. um, even — is that air—conditioning? yes, of course. how does it all run? so, like any other household,

you'll find all these appliances but the rooftops are covered with solar, which produce 60% of the energy requirement for the villa. and then for lighting, we use led lighting. and then, the appliances in the kitchen as well are all environmentally friendly, so we try to reduce the need of energy and when you are using energy, it's always clean energy, coming directly from the solar panels on the rooftop. the vibe here is all about smart design and building a sustainable community. there are classrooms on site to cut down on the daily school run, and there's a pet—friendly atmosphere. although the houses aren't cheap, the owners make savings on things like electricity and water. try that. oh, that was really cool! back in 2006, the world wildlife fund said that people living in the united arab emirates had the biggest ecological footprint in the world. but with more and more of us

thinking about the environment when we choose our holiday destinations, dubai has set a target of getting 75% of its energy from clean and renewable sources by 2050. and i'm off to visit a hotel that claims that sustainability makes good business sense too. now, all the best hotels around the world pride themselves on their breakfast, so let's see what this place has got to offer. one of the things people like about big luxury hotels like this is that you can pretty much order whatever you want, whenever you want. mortadella focaccia. my italian‘s terrible! but having so much choice available inevitably can lead to a lot of food waste, and that's something that this hotel is tackling. here at the buffet, for example, they display smaller platters of food and only replace them once they're eaten. but it's back of house that the real

serious work is going on to cut down on food waste. can you tell me how this system works? of course. let me just show you. here we have trimmings — trimmings are what's left over from the chef when he's preparing the dishes. these are still very much food waste, and we want to identify and categorise these in order to be able to plan better with our menus. so let's give it a try. we're going to throw it into the bin. yep. thee system now is showing us that the weight has been added to the scales. we're gonna go — "would you like to categorise it now?" we said yes. and then it's going to come up with trimmings. and i'm going to identify trimmings. and it's as simple as that. oh, yeah — and the weight is coming up up there. what we're going to do is we're actually going to put the food that's on the guests‘ plates into the trough. it'll wash down into the machine itself, the composting machine. like that. there we go. ah, that's better! we can hear each other now. yeah!

so as the machine takes away all the solubles, the second stage, it will go off to the composting room. the composting room then takes all of the final solubles out of the food, it dries it, and this is the end product, this what you end up with. and this is what it turns into? yeah. that's so heavy! how much food is this, would you say? this is the day's room service. a whole day's worth of room service waste is squeezed into a bag like this. correct. amazing, isn't it? yeah! and then this will now go on to be used as farming compost, so we can use it back in the land. so that goes back into the land, back into the system to help create food? correct, one big cycle. sustainability in a bag — i like it! so far, through smart monitoring of its menu and waste, this hotel reckons it's preventing the equivalent of around 120,000 meals being simply thrown away every year. well, that was last year, but to find out how things are at the moment in dubai, let's call up our colleague out there, sameer hashmi. sameer! good to see you!

or at least some of you — you're hidden behind that mask! so, i mean, judging by the mask you're wearing, it looks like things have changed quite significantly since the last time i was out in dubai. well, the biggest change is this — as you said, rightly — getting used to this and roaming around in the city. but yeah, that's right, things have changed here from the last time you visited dubai. wearing a mask is now compulsory, yeah, it's mandatory. there's a huge fine if you don't wear it, so this is you'll find everywhere you go in dubai. so i can see you're down at the beach and it looks pretty empty behind you. tell me about how much the tourism industry has been affected by the pandemic. the lockdown had — was sudden, and emirates decided to shut down all its flights and if you talk about dubai, the dubai airport is the busiest airport in world for international travellers. last year, 86 million people passed through the dubai airport. so, you know, thatjust gives you a sense how important this place is when it comes to tourism and also global connectivity.

so yes, emirates had shut down virtually all its flights. it's recently resumed some of its flights to a few destinations, but that's more to get the residents who are stuck outside the uae, to bring them back. the worry is that if the flights don't open up for tourists, visas are not issued, then the situation might last longer than many would want it to because, as you know, dubai relies on tourism a lot. so run me through some of the details out there in dubai, on your restrictions. what's open, and what can you and can't you do? well, the good news is that dubai has actually opened up to a great extent. there are very few places where you can't go or you can't visit. over the last three or four weeks, you have seen the malls opening up to full capacity, the beach has opened up, the parks have opened up, the museums have opened up. all the famous tourism attractions in dubai, whether it's the burj khalifa, all that is open now. it's just that wherever you go, you have to make sure you're wearing the mask and you're maintaining

social distancing — these are the two key things which the authorities want, and if you don't do that, you are at risk of getting fined, and it's happened. last two weeks ago, a lot of people on the beach were without the mask and they were not — they were sitting pretty close to each other and the authorities came and they started fining people, and the fine is steep — it's about us$800. wow! us$800 for not wearing a mask? that's right. sameer, you mentioned the burj khalifa. some of the hotels, like the big ones that were in the film that i made last time i was in dubai, they stayed open during the lockdown, didn't they? well, that's right. there was a strict lockdown in april and that's the period when most of the hotels were shut. but then, when the lockdown measures were eased after a few weeks, all these hotels and resorts opened up. and surprisingly for them, they were not empty. a lot of locals — especially residents, dubai residents — decided to book these hotels,

get out of their homes because they were locked down for so many weeks, and it was good business for the hotels. sameer, we can't go without talking about the expo, and it's been postponed which is pretty sad news for dubai. when was that decision made and what kind of impact is that going to have on tourism, and dubai itself? one thing what's happened in dubai over the last few years is a lot of new hotels were built, hoping that a lot of people will come to visit the expo and they would need rooms. but that's not going to happen and that's why people are now bracing themselves for a difficult year. it's really bad news for dubai and the economy and especially the hospitality and tourism industry. when was the announcement made and how long did it take them to finally decide that "that's it. "we're going to postpone it," because it's a big decision, isn't it? they took the decision immediately after the olympics, the japan 0lympics, were postponed. initially, they hadn't decided a date, but eventually, about six weeks back, they decided formally to push it to next year, in october 2021, but they're hoping that by next year

when the expo happens, the situation would be normal across the globe, people would have started travelling and they'll feel more confident, and maybe it's a blessing in disguise, because they could position themselves as this big event — one of the first big events in this post covid—19 world, which is ready to welcome people back. sameer, really good to chat to you. thank you so much and hopefully, someday, i will get to meet you out there in dubai in person, and maybe not with the masks on! maybe in normal circumstances. absolutely, ade! look forward to seeing you here and yes, without the masks, so that we can enjoy wherever we are sitting — maybe on this beach. excellent! stay safe, my friend. take care. you too! take care. bye— bye. 0k. now, stay with us because we've got more look back at our travels in dubai coming up. like the time i got to visit what's got to be the biggest garden i've ever seen!

and something i didn't get to do, but rajan did — go for a balloon ride with one of these magnificent birds of prey. now this is a place that has been pretty much built out of the desert, so not ideal when it comes to growing flowers or gardening. but i found out otherwise when i headed there last year. heading through the entrance here at the miracle garden, three things immediately strike you. first, the smell. then it's the colour, and then, there's the scale. this place is enormous! since it opened on valentine's day back in 2013, almost 8 million people have come to take a look around the miracle garden. and i'm off to meet the man whose idea it all was. dubai is full of surprises. tell me, where did you get

your inspiration from? actually, my inspiration — first of all, i am a landscaping engineer and always when i see my kids playing, you know, games on screens, on tv, always i — it comes to my mind really i need something for people to go out, so this is inspired me to create something to take people outside, to take people to nature. and it's on such a grand scale, you know? so many flowers here! how many flowers do have in this park? we're always sustaining above 15 million flower. 15 million flowers?! yes, yeah. this place must take a lot of water. i mean, where do you get it from and how do you keep it sustainable? actually, we are using the recycled water from dubai municipality. and what about your challenges? what's the biggest

challenge for you? actually, the biggest challenge is just the wind. we can control pest, we can control and irrigation, temperature. everything it is — could be controlled, but not the wind. this places like the chelsea flower show on steroids! but you know what i'm looking forward to? it's when all these people leave and i get to hang out with the gardeners and find out how they keep everything looking so immaculate. owl hoots. now, it's just gone ten o'clock and it's only myself here and 200 gardeners that work all night to keep this place looking pristine, and i'm going to find one of them now. basel! hello, ade! how are you? nice to meet you! lovely to meet you! thank you very much!

this place is so different at night! of course it is! and what's going on here? just we're doing our irrigation work. 0k! yes, we wait till the people leave the garden, then we start our irrigation. is there anything i can do to help? of course you can do. as you can see here, we are approaching the sunflower. we need to get rid of the dried ones, to trim it. so if you would like, you can try. so i'm looking for these dried sunflowers where the leaves have...? the wilted ones, the dried ones. i was speaking to one of the gardeners earlier and he says, you know, you almost develop like this relationship and a connection with the plants. i'm not even messing about! i feel like they're speaking to me, you know? these ones are saying "stay away from me with those scissors!" well, it's almost time for bed for me, but the team of gardeners will be working here through the night, until the gardens

reopen up to the public at ten o'clock tomorrow morning, making sure that all of those millions of flowers are in blooming, tiptop condition. now, i'm not the only member of the travel show team who's been to dubai. a couple of years ago, rajan went there in search of an amazing new graphic art form called calligraffiti and then he got to take a balloon ride with a difference across the desert, and i'm notjealous at all! not one bit! this is ‘calligraffiti — a mixture of traditional arabic calligraphy and graffiti — and it's the signature style of a french—born artist of tunisian origin, who goes by the name el seed. he's taken his unique approach to street art around the world with astonishing results, including this monumental project he created in a working class district of cairo. this is ‘calligraffiti — a mixture of traditional arabic calligraphy and graffiti — and it's the signature style of a french—born artist of tunisian origin, who goes by the name el

seed. he's taken his unique approach to street art around the world with astonishing results, including this monumental project he created in a working class district of cairo. so what's he doing in dubai? for me, dubai is like it's a new city. you know, like, you — i look at it, i try to have, like, a different view to it. a lot of people coming from outside, they're like "oh, this is fake. i don't understand you as an artist. how could you be here?" and for me, there is this kind of growing, like, art scene, like, this is growing art community. and it's, as an artist, it's always good to say, like, "i'm part of this. i'm part of making a change. i'm part of making this move." if i can question you on that a little bit more —

you know, it's also a place that's glamorous, it's wealthy, you know, you've a big expat population, you've got some very rich emiratis here. is that inspiring for you? we are here, like, in the middle of the industrial zone, you know, that has been turned into this culture and art community. you know, like, when you cross the road, you have, like, a steel factory, you know what i mean? and this is the dubai that i want to see. i'm not interested in this shiny thing. this is not for me. but some people, they want it. but i think at some point — now and there is a switch — dubai now is trying to show like "oh, yes, this is what we do". some people love paris. i love paris, some people hate paris. some people love new york, some other hate new york, you know? you cannot compare. for me, it's too naive. but when i look, it's like, yes, what has been done here, like, in less than 30 years is just crazy, and i think this is — should likejust — people should just salute that.

i'm now heading out to the desert early in the morning to experience something new that i'm told you can only see here in dubai. it's a new twist on traditional arabian falconry, and i hear it's going to be truly breathtaking. we're about to release 0beron from the basket, 0k? so what's going to happen next is i've untied him. you'll see he's wearing a transmitter on his tail. that's really i can go find him if he flies away. ready, guys? ready? five, four, three, two, one. wow! man: amazing!

you found him! oh, good boy. phew! well done. do you want a go? do you want to try this? if you — yeah! i'd love to, yeah. let's try. oh, yes! peter has helped to hand rear these birds from birth and the bond of trust between them is vital. it's clear that for him, the falcon‘s welfare is paramount, and months of work has gone into training the birds to get them used to the sights and sounds of the balloon and its passengers. if practised correctly, it is — these birds are in good shape. essentially, the bird is not suffering. absolutely not. what more could you ask for? unique experience, and what a beautiful animal! such an iconic sight, those magnificent birds of prey, sweeping high over the desert.

amazing! well, that's it from us this week. hopefully we'll be back on the road again soon, but don't forget — there's plenty of cool stuff from us on the iplayer to keep you entertained, and maybe even give you inspiration for your next trip! for now though, stay safe, look after yourself, and we'll see you again soon. bye— bye.

hello there, i'm sure it's not going to be to everyone‘s liking, but this week, it is going to be turning hotter and more humid across many parts of the country. and for the first time this year, the temperature is likely to reach 30 degrees plus. now on monday, the highest temperature was at heathrow airport and in cambridgeshire with temperatures of 2a degrees. and that was with a south—westerly wind with lower pressure and weather fronts bringing some rain towards the north—west. higher pressure bringing the sunshine towards the south—east of the uk. now, as the position of the high pressure changes and as it moves northwards into scandinavia, so will change the wind direction and we are going to draw in all the heat and humidity from continental europe. temperatures rising by day and perhaps by night as well. quite warm first thing actually on tuesday morning.

a little bit cooler perhaps towards the far south—east of england and across the highlands in scotland. but tomorrow looks like being quite cloudy again across scotland and northern ireland. there's still some more rain to come, although it won't be as windy, it will be drier and brighter in eastern scotland too. some early cloud for wales and the north—west of england but more in the way of sunshine here, lots of sunshine for england and wales, those temperatures continuing to rise. 27—28 degrees south—east england, the midlands, east anglia, and lincolnshire. that high pressure is going to be more dominant around the middle part of the week. building across this weather front, it tends to weaken it all the while. so, on wednesday, there may well still be some cloud and some outbreaks of rain left for scotland and northern ireland but it should tend to peter out. the cloud thins and breaks and we should get more sunshine. the sunnier skies continue for england and wales where the winds are still light, and those temperatures are continuing to rise. perhaps making the low 20s in the south—east of scotland, 30—31 degrees is likely

through the midlands and the south—east of england by this stage. and another hot day to come on thursday with light wind. watch out for a few showers, it could be heavy and thundery towards the north—west of the uk. otherwise, it's going to be dry with light winds again and it is warming up. we are missing the extreme heat in northern ireland, mid—20s through the central belt of scotland. 31 or 32 in the south—east of england. that's 90 fahrenheit. it's an uncertain breakdown towards the end of the week. we're likely to find some heavy thundery showers coming in from the west on friday before we're into atlantic air on saturday, and it will feel cooler and fresher again.

this is bbc news: i'm mike embley with the latest headlines for viewers in the uk and around the world. the city that never sleeps is starting to wake up. new york, once the global centre of the pandemic, begins reopening. south korean officals confirm a second wave of infections, even though numbers are relatively low. 0n the 72nd anniversary of the arrival of the windrush generation, more people are urged to claim the compensation they're owed. facebook and instagram are facing a growing boycott by advertisers over their failure to address hate speech
