plenty of showers from northern ireland through the lake district and northern england, and other areas as well. tonight most of us will have a dry night. it won't be cold at all, just like last night. temperatures will dip to 1a in london and around 11 in aberdeen and glasgow. on sunday, the wind will be lighter still, again, showers on the cards for northern ireland, for the la ke cards for northern ireland, for the lake district, perhaps the north west of england, the peak district too and into lincolnshire. the best of the weather will be across the south and the south—east, and here in the sunshine once again up to 23 degrees. goodbye. hello, this is bbc news with carrie gracie. the headlines: russian opposition leader alexei navalny is receiving treatment in berlin after being airlifted out of russia, where he fell seriously ill. hundreds of thousands of people in north west england are told not to socialise with anyone outside their household to stem coronavirus infections.

the pandemic could be over in less than two years — that's the prediction from the head of the world health organization. more large protests expected in belarus as reports emerge of torture and abuse in detention centres. manchester united captain, harry maguire, appears in a greek court in connection with an alleged altercation with police. now on bbc news, it's the travel show and rajan datar completes his journey down the longest river within the balkans — the sava. he follows its route to bosnia and herzegovina, then east into serbia. i am on a voyage through the heart of the balkans, exploring the places that have grown up along the route of the river sava. it is a journey through four countries that just over 25 years ago were at war.

my trip started at its source in slovenia and continued through to the wetlands of croatia. this week, i will be following the river to bosnia and herzegovina, and then east into serbia. and meeting those who live along the river banks, who want to move on from the conflicts of the ‘90s and show us what their part of the world is really like. the cascading waterfalls and historic cities of bosnia and herzegovina, now gaining more international attention. here in the north of the country, the river sava is on the tourist agenda, too.

it's here that the river takes on a new and important role as an internationally recognised border. over there is croatia and on this side of the river is bosnia and herzegovina, where i will be continuing my journey. it is a far cry from the beleaguered war—torn image some might have of bosnia and herzegovina. during the 1990s, the river here was the scene of the fiercest interethnic fighting. sparked by the break—up of yugoslavia. but today, the people who live here are recognising the river's potential. during the war, the river was a physical barrier

separating opposing sides. attitudes towards the river might have changed during the war but the natural environment is still feeling the effects. land mines and munitions were used extensively in the river sava basin, which proved not only to be deadly but also polluted the water and the problem has been compounded by industrial waste. but this group of young people are determined that their natural

heritage will not be placed in any further jeopardy. people think there is a war still in our country but it is not, it is finished. when we were at war, or after the war, older generations had time to think about nature but now, i am the new generation that can make that sense that we need to help our nature, so that same nature can help us. why is it important for you that the nature around here is protected? we have an unused nature that tourists can... potential. potential that tourists can help us. because we need money. tourism could be the answer to unemployment among young people.

of course, like everywhere. how bad is unemployment? very bad. tourism may say that? yes. i think it is the only choice we have. outside gradiska, on the flood plains of the river sava are these wetlands. it has been recognised as an area of international importance because it supports a range of endangered species.
