hello this is bbc news with ben brown. the headlines: a man has been killed and seven people are injured in stabbings in birmingham overnight — police declare a "major incident", but rule out terrorism. there is absolutely no suggestion at all that this is terror—related. this is being treated as a homicide being investigated by west midlands police. the stabbings occured at four or five different locations over a period of two hours last night. police are still looking for a male suspect. tougher coronavirus restrictions have come into force in bolton, the area which now has the highest infection rate in england. the uk foreign secretary dominic raab says this week is "the moment of reckoning" as the uk tries to strike a trade deal with the european union. security forces in belarus have

theme music. this week, i'm in scotland, a country famous for its hundreds of incredible castles. it's only the second time i've been here, but it's a place that is close to my heart. i'm canadian, and my name is mike corey, but my middle name is mcleod, and that's a scottish name, and that's what's brought us here today. i'm beginning myjourney in skye, scotland's second—largest island.

this is dunvegan castle, the oldest inhabited castle in the country and, for the past 800 years, the ancestral home of the macleod clan. hugh. nice to meet you, mike. excited to be here. welcome to dunvegan castle. we are closed due to covid, so... i see. ..no problem with the mask but keep a distance. would you like to come inside? yeah, great. fantastic. come on in. my middle name is ‘mcleod', not ‘macleod', they cut the a at some point. there's are many different spellings of macleod but, basically, welcome home, because but this is where it all started. and we've been holding fast. that's the bull... oh, yeah. ..which is the hat, the family motto. we've been going through clan battles, famine, and hopefully we're gonna to manage to kind of survive the covid—19 pandemic as well, so come on this way. i think we will. even by historical standards, dunvegan has faced a difficult year. it has remained closed to visitors since the coronavirus

lockdown began in march. we've managed now to open just the gardens and the gift shop in the car park, but it's very much a partial reopening, so the castle‘s still closed. we might trial opening for guided tours of no more than 25 people, but the mechanics of putting that in place is quite difficult, and actually the economics, it's not that viable, really, from a business point of view. the loss of revenue has impacted ongoing restoration work. so, mike, welcome to the fairy tower, which is a slightly less, er, well, plush interior than the ones you've just visited downstairs. and still under repair? yes, we've only managed to restore half the castle so far in the last 10 or 11 years, that's only the areas open to the public. so, this is the kind of reality behind the scenes. i mean, in the uk, privately—owned heritage has got a £1.11 billion backlog of repairs. wow.

£58 million of that is in scotland, and in the dunvegan context in the estate, i think we've got a little bit — i think it's £2.5 million of outstanding repairs, some of which are urgent, some of which aren't, but, unfortunately, the pandemic is absolutely going to torpedo our restoration budgets. right. and if you can't get that money, what consequences does it have for dunvegan? well, in an exposed, unforgiving climate like skye‘s, you know, obviously there is going to be more repairs in a place like this. but some really important jobs, sadly, you know, if we don't have the money, we don't have the money. they can't proceed. and dunvegan is far from the only place yet to fully reopen. the national trust of scotland manages 80 visited properties, almost 90% of which are now open again in some shape or form. but you won't be able to see inside some of their most famous historic buildings until 2021 including culzean

castle and ayrshire. each one is unique, so they have very different layouts, they're different in size, so burns cottage in alloway is a simple four—room cottage with one way and in one way out, so that's much easier to manage, so things like that have been really important to think about how visitors access and enjoy these spaces. despite a fundraising drive over the summer, the trust faces a £30 million shortfall. they've recently announced 200 job losses, a grim set of circumstances that's spurred one trust worker to mount his own charity event. i'm here on the grounds of haddo house in aberdeenshire, where there is an excited group of people, even though the building is still closed. we're here to greet edoardo bedin, a local historian and archaeologist actually works here. edoardo‘s been walking for,

give or take, 500 miles across the entirety of the country and, in a few minutes, he'll be rounding this corner behind us. this is edoardo and this is the goodbye team party. this is crathes castle, day one of our adventure. we will see in 26 days where we're going to be. edoardo stopped off at nearly two dozen historical properties on his route. his goal was to raise money for the trust's save our scotland campaign, and highlight the uncertain situation of heritage workers like himself. and there he is with a smile on his face! edoardo, he's walking like a man who's walked a very long time. and people are applauding! woo! bagpipes skirl. scotland the brave plays.

yeah. intense? it is. i was crying, but you couldn't see it. mike laughs. and i love scotland, and i love uk so much, and i was dreaming to have a bagpiper to welcome me back in haddo, and when he was playing scotland the brave, ijust felt back home, and i was proud to be part of this country and part of this organisation. coronavirus has had a major impact on scotland's heritage properties, affecting their upkeep and the people who look after them, but edoardo remains optimistic. these are centres of these communities. these buildings were here before the national trust existed, and they will be here after the national trust may be gone, one day, and we just keep hoping for better days to come. and they will come back, good days,

it's just a matter of time. everyone here is still congratulating edoardo and aberdeenshire, but us, we're off to tuscany in italy, where the coronavirus lockdown has caused a revival of an odd mediaeval practice, one that had social distancing nailed centuries before we even coined the term. ‘babae‘ is from ancient latin and it means, like, ‘wow‘, like, ‘magnificent‘, a very beautiful restaurant so, yeah, we like the word ‘babae‘. we decided to start this restaurant in 2018, injune, and we are two friends, and this was a new experience for us.

we found it inside the restaurant, so we decide to not to open the restaurant, but just the buchette del vino. we start with selling wine and then cocktail. not only wine, but food as well. so we decided to do pizza, because we are very good

with the schiacciata, focaccia and pizza. when we started with the with first order in the pizza, we arrive here and we saw that the buchetta is too little for pizza, so we cannot do it with the buchetta. so that was fun.

it explodes in, like, in one month, and people come and ask — they call us and say, "the buchetta is open, when can we come, we can eat, we can drink, what we can do?" maybe the lockdown and the post—lockdown is important for the local people to know about the story, about the history of florence, the buchette, and give some happiness to the local people. those were the wine windows of tuscany. but don't go anywhere, we've got some great stuff coming up. how black lives matter is changing the fortunes of some new york restaurants. if i don't get you with the first bite, i might as well pack this whole thing up. and how to camp in the wild without annoying the locals. so this spot here is not near any

roads, not near any buildings, it's not on farmland — it's just me, my tent and this, and that's how i like it. so don't go away. next, it's been a summer of unrest in the united states. the black lives matter protests which started in wisconsin have spread across the nation, and also spread across the entire world. it's meant issues like social injustice and economic inequality have been at the forefront of our minds, and for some black—run restaurants in america, it's meant an unexpected surge in business. new york, one of the most diverse cities in the world, and one place where the black lives matter movement has really left its mark. so the huge yellow letters that are right behind me, they're one of seven murals that are painted throughout the city, and it's trulyjust a symbol of how strongly people feel about the movement. those protests were sparked in may following the death of george floyd in police custody in minneapolis.

anti—racism demonstrators took to the street in cities across the united states, and then in several other countries around the world. but aside from just the protests, consumers are also showing their support with their wallets, with black—run restaurants having an uptick in demand. in fact, the national black chamber of commerce says three—quarters of the businesses it spoke to noticed a boost in sales following the protests. businesses like sylvia's restaurant, famous for its soul food. we're talking short ribs, greens and potato salad. it was founded nearly 60 years ago by this woman, sylvia woods, and is now run by her children and grandchildren. one thing i can say about our staff family, they have been very affected by what's going on, and we're sensitive to that, because we're affected as a family and a business. business has been moving ever since the protests, but it really peaked onjuneteenth, the holiday that celebrates the official end of slavery in the us.

juneteenth was one of our biggest sales day. that weekend, um, was incredible. we were busy, busy, busy. and that sentiment has been echoed by other black—owned businesses in the community. this is my first time back in a few months and it is just completely different. you know, like, places i would go and eat after work or grab brunch on the weekend — it isjust... the economy has crumbled. and when you are talking about black—owned businesses, especially, they've always faced uphill battles. i see a lot of people uniting, a lot more people wanting to support black—owned businesses and notjust african—americans. sylvia's is not the only black—owned restaurant that's seen an uptake

in demand since this summer's protests, and that is partly because of an app that was developed right here, in brooklyn. anthony and his wife, janique, met in 2016. as a new couple, new to brooklyn, anthony said he found it hard to find a restaurant that was black—owned. there was a need for it so that was really like our really inspiration and we wanted to support people of colour, especially in brooklyn, in gentrified areas. so it is really hard to find these businesses and we are just another tool that helps fulfil that need. eat0kra has seen record number of downloads in recent months. but other lists and directories of black—owned restaurants have also been making waves in cities across the us, as well as in foodie destinations, like london and paris. people have started paying attention to what was really happening in the black community. so i think it is time to check this app out for myself and, with a little help from anthony, i am heading back to harlem where i'm hoping to try some of new york's famous street food.

enjoy! 0k, thank you so much. isn't this crisp? i am all about this deep fried shrimp, oh, boy. the aioli makes it a little messy, but it is well—both the indignity. you can expect flavour. you can expect that the food will be made with the love. and you can expect a little sass because that's me. and i often tell people that, if i do not get you with the first bite, i might as well pack this all thing up, and just take my ass home. tami has been running herfood truck for over four years and is well—known by her community. they call her the seafood lady — for obvious reasons. black lives matter has always been an issue for me. i've been protesting my whole life. ain't nothin‘ new. the only thing new is that we have a lot of young people and non—black people whom are supporting this movement. the harlem community and throughout the burroughs, they support harlem seafood soul. they know that i'm bringing love through that window, and they show me love whether i'm in brooklyn, whether i'm in the bronx, queens —

it doesn't matter. and especially here in harlem, you know, this is my community. we just want this community that i love to know that i care, i see you, i'm in this with you. and to end this week, we returned to the isle of skye, home to some of scotland's most spectacular scenery, and where i am setting up camp for the night. i really think this is what camping should be. we walked about 30 minutes from the road, hopped over some rocks, and here we are, by ourselves, right now. the laws around camping in scotland are much more relaxed than the rest of the uk. you can pitch your tent in most parts of the countryside with a few key rules and exceptions. this summer, as the country emerged from lockdown,

residents reported a big increase in the number of people coming here to camp. but that has caused problems. so this is torrin pools. it is where the water runs down from the red cuillin, and lots of people come here to camp. there's a distinction to be made between the responsible wild campers and what have now been termed the "dirty campers". i spoke to the crofters the day before yesterday, who have their animals in this area, and they said that they are seeing their working dogs rolling in human faeces. litter, fires that have been lit and then the ground is left scorched. just terrible that people feel that they can behave in that manner in a public place. and it is an issue affecting communities all over the country, with beauty spots blighted by abandoned tents, burnt—out barbecues, and waste. even the queen has been affected.

rangers at her balmoral estate posted these pictures on twitter. some people are obviously desperate. they have come out of lockdown, they have been confined for months and they feel the need just to let go, and come and enjoy perhaps of wild area, but they do not know how to treat it. other people just feel entitled. over the summer, the charity, keep scotland beautiful, have run a campaign at reducing lockdown litter. let me play devil's advocate for a second. i have a little candy wrapper in my pocket. i throw it over my shoulder. it is a small piece of trash. is it really that a big of a deal? yeah, sure and no—one is looking, mike, as well. why do we all make such a big fuss about it? well, it's just really interesting, i was driving here today, i actually saw a cow who was eating a plastic bag. now, we do not need to be animal experts to know that animal eating plastic is not a good idea. the other really important thing to remember, particularly if you're inland, is that fundamentally those little bits of plastic will always make their way into the water course and that water course always ends up in the sea.

so then how do you be a wild camper and not a dirty camper? there is fantastic information out there. at nature.scot, who fundamentally look after the scottish outdoor access code — amazing amount of information. it is such an important part of when you go wild camping, how to behave in the outdoors. tonight, i am going to follow three golden rules laid out in the outdoor access code. number one, camp in an appropriate area. i picked this spot specifically for the view, obviously, but also because this spot here is not near any roads, not near any buildings, it's not on farmland. it isjust me, my tent and this — and that is how i like it. another risk campers face out here is starting a wildfire, something i definitely do not want to do. so i have my camping stove here — much safer than an open fire, and i've got a hopefully delicious meal. as the light dims and the temperature dips, the crew leave me alone

for the night. and there goes the rest of the team. i've got to say, i'm a little bit nervous but i'm also excited. this is why i travel and this is why i love camping, these intimate moments with mother earth. if you can hear the rain, it has been going on and off all night long. i thought i heard something earlier. i am not sure but there was a scuffle in the bushes that was suspicious but, whatever it was, if there was anything, it is now long gone. good morning.

i slept so well last night. i could spend all day here but we've got to keep going. next is the most important part of this whole experience which is coffee — no. it's making sure we do not leave a trace. so i'm going to find my tent pegs that have been lost in the bog as well as make sure i pick up all my pieces of trash. before we do all that, i've got an important business meeting to attend to over in the bushes, if you know what i mean, so excuse me. well, that is all for this week but coming up next week... we'll be taking a look at some of our favourite adventures in turkey, including the time i went there to visit an underwater dive site with a difference. laughter. it is definitely beautiful out here but do you know what else is quite beautiful, a hot shower. so before we get going, make sure to follow us on social media. we're @bbctravel basically everywhere. and from me, mike corey, and the rest of the travel show team, here in the beautiful scottish islands, it is goodbye.

hello, there. some good spells of sunshine around for the rest of the day come up in the scottish islands and in many parts of the uk, in fa ct. and in many parts of the uk, in fact. turning our attention out of the atlantic, the next weather front is starting to approach and that will change the complexion of weather for tomorrow. for today, sunshine and showers. very few showers are not a lot of cloud for scotland. in northern ireland the cloud is breaking up. there are some

showers in northern and western england and the north of wales. they will track eastwards. 0ne england and the north of wales. they will track eastwards. one of them —— monetary of them could turn happy with the rumble of thunder in the midlands and eastern england later. for most of us, temperatures are higher than yesterday, because of extra sunshine but also the lighter winds. 0vernight, under the extra sunshine but also the lighter winds. 0vernight, underthe clear skies on the site, it will turn chilly, with possibly some morning fog for the commute. for many further north and west, the wind is pushing in thicker cloud and rain. tomorrow, for many parts of the north it will be damp and breezy. further south, some brighter weather and fewer showers. gradually through the day, the cloud will thicken and put across the roc into wales, northern and western england, continuing that persistent rain in scotla nd continuing that persistent rain in scotland and northern ireland. it does is later in today. we keep the

sunshine, even a hazy sunshine, it will be worn. again, we could see temperatures into the low 20s. there will be low cloud tomorrow night. a mild night for most heading into tuesday morning. the weather front not particularly active, but it meanders around the uk for the next two or three days. it will bring humid air, moist air, so lots of cloud, low cloud with drizzle around southern and western parts of england and wales, perhaps something a little bit heavier in the north—west on tuesday. at a sunshine break through, we could be seen mid 20s on tuesday, the warmest day of the week. thereafter, weatherfrom start to trundle further southwards, introducing a fresher north—westerly wind once again. hanging on to that

cloudy, drizzly weather in the south. i will have more later.

this is bbc news with the latest headlines... a man has been killed and seven people are injured in stabbings in birmingham overnight — police declare a "major incident" but rule out terrorism. there is absolutely no suggestion at all that this is terrorised. this is being treated as a homicide. the stabbings occured at several different locations over a period of two hours last night — police are still looking for a male suspect. obviously, nobody chased him because by the time the police were there he was at the bottom of the street.
