mexico's confirmed coronavirus deaths have exceeded 46,000, placing the country's death toll from the pandemic third highest in the world. it means mexico has overtaken britain, with only the united states and brazil recording more deaths. james murdoch, the younger son of media mogul rupert murdoch, has resigned from the board of news corporation, which owns fox news, the wall streetjournal, the times and the sun, citing "disagreements over editorial content". six months after declaring the coronavirus pandemic a global public health emergency, the head of the world health organization has said the impact of the coronavirus outbreak will be felt "for decades to come". a 17—year—old has been arrested in florida, accused of masterminding a massive twitter hack in july. two others, including a british teenager, are also facing charges after the attackers took control of high profile accounts to scam people. the teenage driver of a getaway

car involved in dragging to his death pc andrew harper in berkshire last summer, has beenjailed for 16 years for manslaughter. two passengers in the car, who are both 18, were jailed for 13 years. the teenagers were attempting to steal a quad bike when pc harper responded to the 999 call. helena wilkinson was in court and her report contains some flashing images. andrew and lissie harper were married for less than a month when he was killed. today, she was in court with family to see those responsible jailed for their crimes — jessie cole, henry long and albert bowers. this is cole and bowers laughing after their first court appearance. i've got four masked men outside my house and they've got weapons. they're stealing my quad bike. this is the 999 call about the theft of a quad bike that pc harper had been responding to with a colleague. the officers soon came across the teenagers‘ car. jessie cole quickly

unhooked the bike. through the rear view camera, you can see his legs as he tries to escape, followed by pc harper, who got caught at that moment in the tow rope. sentencing the teenagers, mrjustice edis said they had killed "a talented and brave young police officer who was going above and beyond his duty in order to provide a public service". pc harper's widow, lissie harper, read a victim impact statement to court. she said: these are three people

who i do not believe have ever shown an ounce of genuine remorse or contrition for their actions. they did their best to frustrate the police investigation. thejudge said there was nothing he could do to restore andrew harper to his loving wife or family, and they had the profound sympathy of the whole nation. helena wilkinson, bbc news. now it's time for the travel show. coming up this week: elephants, iceland, and a splash of heavy metal, african—style.

hello and welcome to the travel show with me, christa larwood. well, if you were watching last week, you would have seen ade in venice on the very first overseas travel show trip we've been able to do in a really long time. hopefully, we'll all be back on the road sometime soon. but in the meantime, here are some more of our favourite travel show stories from the archive. they might even inspire your next trip, wherever that might be. well, i'm not going to lie, working on the travel show is a pretty sweet deal. not only do we get to travel the world, see amazing places but we also from time to time get to meet truly inspirational people. and that's the focus of this week's programme. including the man whose family have pretty much dedicated their life to iceland's enormous imposing glaciers, but who is now charting their decline. but let's kick off with a woman who has a different life's mission — to help sick and injured elephants in thailand. and a few years ago, henry went to meet her.

when it was opened in 1993, this was the world's the first elephant hospital. and since then, they have treated over 4000 elephants, and i'm here to meet some of them. the hospital aims to provide for any sick or injured elephant in thailand. what kind of patients do you have? we have all kinds of illnesses, sicknesses, knife wounds, gunshot wounds. some have diarrhoea, constipation, cataracts. some have serious, like, cancer, you know? tumours. the most difficult case are the victims of landmines. laughs. very friendly! this one belongs to murtala. the old one. because she is

going up, she is still young. so every so often you have to do... right. she started the hospital after seeing elephants die because there was nowhere to treat them. so i told myself 0k, to treat them. so i told myself ok, that's it. if no—one is going to do it, i am going to do it myself. there should be a place where elephants can be treated. because there is no elephant hospital. the hospital is funded by donations and treatment is provided for free. after medicine you get treats! tourists can come here to see the elephants and their recuperation areas but there are none of the shows and rides you might find it elephant camps elsewhere in thailand.

some have called for a ban on using these revered animals in the tourist industry but she told me they could also create problems. to ban them, that we have to have the solution where with these elephants be? you cannot take a500 elephants back into the wild. how are we going to keep them, you know, in its natural surroundings and in a way to earn some money, you know, in order to treat them well? it's amazing to see elephants like these that would have otherwise have died in the wild actually thrive here in the hospital. spending time with the staff and learning ins and outs of what goes on here has been an absolutely amazing experience that i will not forget any time soon. my name is andri magnason. i am a writer.

i live in iceland. i have written children's books, poetry, plays, science fiction and non—fiction. my grandparents were founding partners of the icelandic glacial research society and they went on a glacial honeymoon in 1956, for three weeks. so these are your grandparents? this is iceland's highest peak, 2119 metres. grandma is not even wearing a coat, is she? no, it's good weather there. so i slightly interrupted you — can i help you hang these up? i am choosing what photos i would like to use in my book. i will put this one up here. andri, how does looking

at these photos make you feel? they have always made me feel nostalgic, proud, but they are also a slice section of time — that is, this is the first generation that was able to enjoy glaciers, and we only have three generations that will live that period. so then the glaciers will go, and after 300 years, these photos will be totally alien to that generation, especially in iceland. when the ice has left iceland. yeah. andri wanted to take me somewhere to show me just how quickly the landscape is changing. about 10% of iceland is covered in glaciers but glaciologists now believe that all of iceland's glaciers will be gone in just 200 years.

five years ago, when 0k glacier was no longer heavy enough to lift itself up and move, it was declared dead. the amount of ice here has decreased dramatically. researchers from rice university in america recently drew attention to the loss. they approached andri to write the inscription for the plaque, commemorating the dead glacier. it's a strange situation, because how do you memorise the sky? it is something big, firm, eternal, it pushes in two directions. so here it says, "a letter to the future. "0k is the first icelandic glacier to lose its status as a glacier. "in the next 200 years, all our glaciers are expected to follow the same path. this monument is to acknowledge that we know what is happening and what needs to be done. only you know if we did it. august 2019, a15 ppm of c02." that's the amount of c02 in the atmosphere, and actually the cause of the melted glacier. and that is rising,

about 2—3 ppm every year. cat there with a man who is helping to memorialise iceland's disappearing glaziers. —— iceland's disappearing glaciers. up next, back in 2018, lucy visited johannesburg to meet a very special lady who played a crucial role in south africa's history from her kitchen, by cooking for nelson mandela. hi! really nice to meet you. mwah! i have heard amazing things about your talents as a chef. so, talk to me, what are you going to make for us today? i am making the simplest meal that you have ever had in your life. it's called creamed mik — in our language, it's called umphokoqo — it is one that mr mandela used to love.

he could not go a single week without eating this. he had to have this meal every week? yes. chuckles. how i would do this? i would use maize meal, and then this is a sour milk. sour milk. it has to be sourfor him, so much that when he eats it, he must feel it in his mouth. so with water and salt, that's all, that's how easy it is. very simple. that's my kind of meal. i will add bread and water. then i have salt. that is umphokoqo. am i saying that right? umphokoqo. i can't say it! i am just going to nod. tell me what it was like cooking for mandela, just in general? well,m it — at the beginning i felt intimidated, because i was going to cook for this... now, when i had to meet him, the first time i was shaking and i was shivering. i bet you were! but he was so warm to me.

when he received me in his house, he stood up for me and he shook my hand and he said to me, "i know you are a great cook, but can you cook our old home food?" that's when i said yes. i didn't even hesitate, because i knew that now this is myjob. and then i got the job immediately. yes! so, apparently when he went to london, we don't send him with food, that we know. wherever he goes, in any country, but that particular year, that day, that week, hejust decided he's not going to eat, he's got a craving for his old home food while they were there already. then i got a call saying that "we know you are off, you are home, can you please go back to jo'burg?" and i had to cook this simplest dish for him. and what i did, me and my colleagues, we had to wrap it up nicely — it looked like a present — and when we sent it to him we had to write the president's medication.

and after that, i was called that. i smuggled food to him. laughs. you smuggled his favourite dish into the uk! yes. the meal is about to be ready. is he doing what i am doing now? would he hover? do you want to try? i am going to try it. come on, it was one of mandela's favourite meals. i have to give it a try! that's quite yummy. mm! i can see why he liked it. i'm talking with my mouth full. still to come on the travel show: we've got the californian sculptor who cooked up his own masterpiece in the kitchen. i literally microwaved a microwave while it was microwaving, and i'm the only one in human history but never successfully pulled off this accomplishment. and ade learns to headbang,

botswa na —style. so see you after the break. around this time last year we sent mike off to turkey to meet an incredible woman who spent the last 30 years doing her bit for conservation. she has become a bit of a local celebrity and she is a great lesson that is never too late because he is in her 90s. welcome to this beach, a few kilometres away from the town of dalyan in turkey. 30 years ago no—one knew about the beach but 30 years ago they were not paying attention to what was happening underneath the sand. this is one of the most

important nesting sites for euro as a population of endangered loggerhead turtles. every summer thousands of hatchlings push their way up onto the beach and crawled down into the ocean. that is still the case largely because of the work of this woman. jun, who is 110w work of this woman. jun, who is now 96, stopped hotel development in the late who would have felt total destruction for the breeding grounds she has devoted the last three decades of her life to the turtles willing turkish citizenship and an mba along the way. the government had a plan to develop this for tourism and it included not only included a vital part of it was a road. down the middle of the beach. i was helped, i didn't do it alone. some said i was mad, others that i was a spy was mad, others that i was a spy for greece. it is true, it sounds funny to us that was

actually written in a newspaper at the time. and what happens now, what is a situation like? very good, the government he respects and knows about this beach. no—one can come here at night and start looking for the turtles a nd night and start looking for the turtles and digging up nests, because they would be curious people who would like to do that. it would take a lot of fire in your heart to put all that energy and time into saving these turtles. i have some fire in my heart. i can tell. if total could direct statues, there would be off the coast looking at loggerhead turtles. in the village they plan some kind of edifice to me i think plan some kind of edifice to me ithink in plan some kind of edifice to me i think in dalyan village, i saidi i think in dalyan village, i said i would rather have it at the beach if they do one, and could they please, you know, not make it to be grand. you

riding a turtle or anything like that? (laughs). that is not allowed. well actually... now that you mention it that would not displease me. in turkey with june now, in turkey withjune now, 97 yea rs old in turkey withjune now, 97 years old and still going strong. this has to be one of the most creative and unconventional people we have ever had on the show. back in 2016 rajan visited palm springs and created a man —— met a 2016 rajan visited palm springs and created a man —— meta man who could create artworks out of anything. welcome to the wacky world of kenny ingram junior.

an artist whose work is now luring sightseers away from frank sinatra's old house around the corner to see this fantastic all creation instead. ——fantastical. i have been working on my art for at least four decades that i have been living and breathing. i was born an artist. on these four acres of land kenny has used 1000 tonnes of recycled stuff to create 350 works of art. so far. there is the hockey bot. what's that? it's made out of refrigerators. made out of refrigerators? yeah. right there is the real bugbear, made out of an air conditioning compressor. ——robo—bear. there's santa's

barrel wagon up there. this is one of the world's only two microwave microwaves. that is correct. this is a genuine microwaved microwave. i literally microwaved a microwave. i'm the only one in human history has ever successfully pulled off this accomplishment. where do you think, where this fits in, where you fit in, to contemporary america? i don't know where it could fit in, i don't think it fits in anywhere, really, to speak of. how we got men on the moon and how we'll get men on mars, people on mars, isn't going to happen by how things fit in with other things, it's going to happen by how things that have been... never been done before, it's how it's going to happen. i don't think i'll fit in it. of course you'll fit in there, you're not that big. do you think we should be riding around in these? absolutely, there is no excuse not to. kenny, there's only one

problem, right? what's that? we're on this thing and there's no one to turn it off. does that mean we're on here forever? in theory that could happen. to finish up this week? look back at some of the most inspirational characters we have met here in the travel show, we have dug deep in the archives to find a film from ade, where he met a whole group of characters stop they are one of characters stop they are one of the leading heavy metal bands in botswana, which is not exactly a country known for its headbanging. here in the plains of southern africa, polymer set, is that drums i can hear?

that was amazing! fantastic, fantastic. skinflint are one of botswa na's most popular fantastic. skinflint are one of botswana's most popular heavy metal bands, preparing a sound check before a local gig tonight. they have performed all over africa and have taken their unique sounds as far as europe. we grew up with rock music, we were exposed to it and wanted to create a new style of music, something that could put botswana on the map as well. and they could realise there was other types of music in botswana, not just there was other types of music in botswana, notjust the typical genres. the band

creates what has been dubbed "african metal" by fusing metal —— elements of african culture with heavy metal music, and they have a big following. this has been here for ages. i started to... my life is dedicated to rock ‘n‘ roll. started to... my life is dedicated to rock 'n' roll. we have a unique way of playing, we have the african metal here. they dressed from head to toe in black leather. some even have the ability to stop traffic. this is where skinflint will be performing. a suburb just outside of the capital, and judging by all the people here and the sounds coming from and there it will be a wild ride. let's do it. despite their

aggressive appearance, everybody i meet here is quite friendly. these gigs take place monthly all—around botswana, and newcomers like me are welcome. it is like an expression, freedom of expression, freedom of expression, power, independence, that is how i look at it. as the band gets into its stride, the crowd begins to marsh. this is how some rock fans like to express themselves, and to me it is definitely a first. —— mosh. and this isn't just and this isn'tjust about dressing the part. this is a new generation claiming heavy metal as their own. people should maybe just open their

eyes, not put africa in a box like they always do, you know, they only think that africa is a certain way, we are poverty ridden and there is a lot of negatives about it but we're also very people, even though it is not publicised much there isa it is not publicised much there is a lot of talented positions and artists in africa so i think skinflint is an example of that. ade getting a taste for african metal back in 2015. that's all we have time for on this week's programme. but coming up next week, carmen is back on the road in japan. she week, carmen is back on the road injapan. she will be reporting on how the pandemic is affecting ceremonies to mark the 75th anniversary of the bombing of hiroshima and nagasaki. that's next week. but in the meantime, from me christa larwood in the meantime, from me christa la rwood and in the meantime, from me christa larwood and the rest of

the travel show team, it's goodbye. hello there. the heat on friday was certainly extreme. it arrived quickly and it is going away quickly. but the heat was far and wide. we had temperatures of 37 degrees in london, 29 in edinburgh. but a significant drop on the way for saturday. for liverpool and sheffield, a drop of 11 degrees or more. the heat has been coming to an end with a bang. we've had this band of cloud coming in from the west bringing some thundery rain and we scooped up some thunderstorms from continental europe, it's been heading eastwards, out into the north sea, and behind that band of cloud, we are seeing atlantic air spilling our way and that's the reason why the temperatures

will be dropping. things will feel different as we head into monday. still going to be very warm for eastern parts of england, mind you. by the time we get to the morning we have rain affecting shetland and may be a few showers coming into some other western parts of the uk. throughout the day on saturday, it's going to be a mixture of sunshine and a scattering of showers, mainly across western areas, a few will push their way eastwards gradually through the day. much of the day may well be dry with sunshine at times and it stays dry right across the south—east and east anglia until the evening. and we'll find temperatures at 25, 26 degrees, warm but it is a cooler day everywhere in the temperatures 18 in the central belt. i'm sure the footballers for the fa cup final will appreciate the change in the weather it looks like it should be dry at wembley. more showers to come into northern ireland on saturday evening. those will push their way into scotland, we keep the cool air coming in on the westerly breeze.

so temperatures overnight, saturday night into sunday morning, a little bit lower, probably a more comfortable night for sleeping — 11 to 1a degrees. again on saturday, a day of sunshine, and showers. probably more showers around on sunday. especially across the northern half of the uk and some of those could be on the heavy side as well. it's continuing to cool off, temperatures continuing to drop away a little bit, our high on sunday in the south—east is 23 celsius. more of the same on monday. same sort of temperatures, sunshine and showers, perhaps heavier showers in the afternoon for the eastern side of england. it's getting a long way away but i think around tuesday and wednesday we could be in for some wetter and windier weather. but by end of next week, probably turning quite a bit warmer once again. goodbye.

good morning. welcome to breakfast, with naga munchetty and chris mason. 0ur headlines today: 0n hold — the easing of lockdown due to come into force in england this morning is delayed after an increase in coronavirus cases. shielding for those considered more vulnerable to the virus comes to an end for most people in england and scotland. a virtual gathering of stars of the small screen for the baftas last night. we'll hear from some of the winners at a very different awards ceremony. good morning, and it will be a very different place here on wembley away today. the fa cup final, arsenal

versus
