news, the travel show. this week on the show. starting from scratch — after a nightmare at the museum. walking around, you just feel hollow. how signs of celebration are slowly returning to the champagne region in france. when you your around the world challenge hits the skids. we could see border starting to close and we were like, what is going on? and the pygmy goats who have got a little too used to lockdown.

hello and welcome to the show. so this is the draft house at london zoo, newly reopened after months of lockdown. something which these guys are ridiculously excited about. so i've come here to find out how this place has been looking to volu nteers this place has been looking to volunteers from london's furloughed workforce to get themselves up and running once again. the first anniversary to remember and not an especially happy ones. two years ago this month, fire completely gutted brazil's national museum in rio, destroying literally millions of priceless a rtefa cts . millions of priceless artefacts. ever since, teams of restorers have been searching through the ashes to piece together what is left. before lockdown, we sent mike to join them. around 200,000 people a year visited brazil's national museum. it housed some of the countries most historical national treasures, 20 million items in all. its origins spanning thousands of years. a

former imperial palace, it was built for the portuguese royal family in the early 19th century. but two years ago in september 2018, disaster struck. a fire blamed on a fa u lty struck. a fire blamed on a faulty air—conditioning unit spread out of control, destroying the building and half of its collection. the museum is still closed for tourists as it is a burnt out husk of what it used to be and much of the devastation is still being cleared away. walking around, you just feel hollow, like the remains of the museum. and at this room right here was where the fire first started.

when the scale of the devastation became clear, this woman and some of her collea g u es woman and some of her colleagues entered the burning building to try and save some of the artefacts.

the public grief was overwhelming. the museum was in some dusty old relic but what of the country's top higher education centres, a hug of —— hub of activity. the national museum is located in this district of rio dejaneiro. it isa district of rio dejaneiro. it is a little chaotic and not the wealthiest pa rt is a little chaotic and not the wealthiest part of the city. there are many poor areas nearby. some are just a few stops away on the train. in a city as divided as rio, famous for its favelas and golden beaches, that's quite significant. the museum will forever be remembered as a place for people of all backgrounds to come together. forformer backgrounds to come together. for former staff backgrounds to come together. forformer staff members backgrounds to come together. for former staff members and students, it continues to leave a mark. i know that pain. lewis

year is tattooing the image of the national museum on marina. and he is doing it forfree. marina studied archaeology at the museum. more than a hundred people have got one of lewis's community of tattoos. idid my i did my tatoh because the museum is so important to me. i worked at the museum. my best friends forever are there. my professors. so we loved them. it is like our home. and we will see the final piece of work. beautiful work. will see the final piece of work. beautifulwork. yes, it is finished. such fine lines.

nice lines. marina, you made it, you survived. laughs back at the site, a team of researchers comb through the to be ——to brief or surviving a rtefa cts . be ——to brief or surviving artefacts. this delight the destruction, there are still some exciting fines. it's like something important in here? yes or what is left. these are some remains, some of the old est some remains, some of the oldest skeletal findings in america. what of the oldest. oldest skeletal findings in america. what of the oldestm is estimated the lucio remains date back 11,500 years. an iconic item for the collection. we could rescue about 9% of the skeleton. we hope that in the future, we will be able to make a proper reconstruction, may be a proper reconstruction, may be a restoration of the material. i have a really great team. they are very dedicated and they are giving their souls to

rescue what is possible to be rescued. since we visited the museum back in january, rescued. since we visited the museum back injanuary, the outlook has grown more uncertain. restoration work is on hold because of coronavirus and the team has only managed to fund raise half of its 70 million dollar target. it has meant plans to partially reopen for brazil's bicentennial in 2022 are not are likely to go ahead. the future of the museum is to keep on, we have to go on. we continue to work and salvage and interact with the public against our main goal as an institution. well, from brazil, time now to head to france where with fewer big celebrations and weddings going ahead this year, it

hasn't been a good one for the makers of champagne. sales have tumbled and it is reckoned that tens of millions of bottles could be left unsold. the champagne region has the same particularly hot and sunny weather which led to a bumper harvest. but with the collapse in demand, 2020 definitely will not go down as a vintage year. the crisis hit champagne very ha rd the crisis hit champagne very hard because the drop of a third of shipments is even worse than what we expected during the great depression, or in 7a after the oil crisis.

the region has a tradition of resilience because it has experienced all of the crisis, especially of the first half of the century. the first world war really took place here and the second world war also impacted the region. so there is this history of getting back on ourfeet is this history of getting back on our feet after the worst crisis you can imagine.

nature gave us a beautiful harvest this year. thanks to drought, thanks to a very present sun, we have beautiful, very ripe which grapes. again, with concentrated aromas and a wide flavour pallet.

we know that the situation is bad for an economic and health standpoint, but at least in a few years when those wines are ready to be released, we will have a beautiful selection of wine to offer. still to come, stuck on your greatest adventure. the around the world challenges that lockdown stopped in their tracks. and the furloughed workers that help get london zoo back on its paws. so, one of the things the zookeepers here were able to do during lockdown was give some of the animals extra special

attention. the goats here for example attention. the goats here for exa m ple love attention. the goats here for example love a good rubdown. so chelsea, how did the goats react to the lack of visitors? it must‘ve been quite lonely? react to the lack of visitors? it must've been quite lonely?” think they have definitely missed the interaction. as you can see, they love a good scratch. especially when we first shot, what was going on. 0n the first few days, they we re 0n the first few days, they were all over there at the gates were the visitors would normally come in, waiting for them to comment, and give them a bit ofa them to comment, and give them a bit of a fuss. and obviously there weren't any visitors coming in so as keepers, we made an extra special effort to come and spend some time with them. god bless you. can't say i have ever massaged a goat before but i think it is equally relaxing for them and for me. now, more people have been to space than have managed to visit every country in the world. the un recognises 193

countries and it is estimated that less than 250 people have ever stepped foot in each and every single one. we spoke to some intrepid adventurers who we re some intrepid adventurers who were attempting this and to a woman who has completed this monumental challenge. hello, i have been to every country in the world. it took me 17 years and five passports to do so. it was a huge personal challenge and a very long process. lots of focus and time, effort. but it makes me really happy and proud every single day. of the people that have done it, women only make up about 10 —15%. so we are quite the minority. i don't think having this goal is com pletely don't think having this goal is completely impossible post coronavirus. just that you have to understand that it may take a little bit more time and effort and patience. iamjulia. i am julia. chantelle. chloe.

angelique. we did a mad dash to get here. we were in cambodia, and we could see the board is starting to close and things we re starting to close and things were getting really uneasy and there was no more tourists except for us. and we were like, what is going on? so, we did the mad dash to new zealand and got here literally right before they went into their lockdown. we wanted to somewhat achieve our goal within the next two years of visiting every country. so, we were moving pretty fast this year until covid yet. the big question is, like, if it last for another year, what are we going to do? you know, we are going to do? you know, we are going to do? you know, we are going to go? but i am sure things are going to start to progress eventually, the well has to open back up again. i'm sam, i've been 283 countries, covid was starting to be talked about more and more and people got worried and i was seeing people on planes wearing more masks and a kind of figured, well, i've only got 20 countries left. was meant to

in april, eight flew from fiji to tonga and then about two days later they closed all the borders and said no—one can leave, you are all stuck here, then they waited there for five months and hours hearing from government from other pacific islands i wouldn't be able to visit any of the countries for 18 months, two years, that type of things i'd decided after after that that i would just leave. people say, can i do it, just do it and make it work, so we always reverse engineer what we always reverse engineer what we wa nt we always reverse engineer what we want to do. with a just as our goal, this is what they wa nt to our goal, this is what they want to do and how can i make it happen. i did it because it was my dream since i was really youngin was my dream since i was really young in my dream was to see as much of the world is possible, it was to travel, see loads of different countries and i did are pretty good job of that, so why am definitely not disappointed. you have to understand your reasons for doing this. for some people, its escapism, they want to get out of a rut and they think travel, it's like a holiday, it's an escape, but your why

will really colour the kind of experience you do have.” will really colour the kind of experience you do have. i am up in the mountains of afghanistan, you can mountain ranges behind me here, simply beautiful, so nice. 0ne ranges behind me here, simply beautiful, so nice. one of my favourite countries in the world of afghanistan, it's a country that everyone is scared of. i was gettable before it we nt of. i was gettable before it went on and i loved it, you feel like you are going back in time, the only real signs of modernists is people have cellphones and cars. it's not easy when you are always together, you have to still keep a structure and you have to still have your own mental space to get away. there's times when, we are travelling, ice into the whole family, you quys ice into the whole family, you guys are on ice into the whole family, you guys are on that part of the street and do not come to my side of the street, and i would just what one might —— walk by myself and in within two minutes they are back over here

ain! minutes they are back over here again! everything makes a lot more sense now to me and they understand people's behaviour, especially if they come from different cultures, a lot more. london zoo has a prime spot in the heart of one of the city's largest arks. since it opened its gates to visitors and 1847, the stream of income has been steady. i think the penguins are my favourite. the charity usually welcomes over 1 are my favourite. the charity usually welcomes over1 million visitors a year through its gates, raising vital funds towards the care of almost 20,000 animals. after its historic closure in march, this iconic london attraction recently reopened, but months of lost income has left the old est of lost income has left the oldest scientific zoo in the world struggling to survive.

it's been really, really hard for us. the moment are gates closed, our income dried up. it was an incredible weight of responsibility for me and for the staff, it was a really momentous occasion. this was the first time we have closed since being back in the blitz. we had staff living on site here, because they wanted to ensure that they could remain coming in and continue feeding our animals. 0ur animals cost us over £600,000 a month to feed, so the more that goes on, the scarier it gets. we were depleting our savings which meant that actually what we could do and how long we could keep going was getting really quite scary. we had a fight on our hands to make sure that these guys, all the animals and all of the staff looking after them are so dedicated, we are going to come out of the other side and come out of it shining. london zoo isn't alone in its struggle. zoos all over

the world are taking drastic measures to keep afloat. the calgary zoo is in the process of sending its pandas back to china because they can't source enough bamboo to feed them. the staff at vietnam's oldest zoo have taken a 30% pay cut and are relying on food donations from the public. and san antonio zoo in texas has transformed into a drive—through experience in a desperate bid to attract more visitors. we have had to change a lot in order to be covid secure, to make sure that people are safe and happy and enjoying things so we've created 1—way roots, there's hand sanitiser, reminders about social distancing everywhere, and we have just had to adapt ourselves. visitor numbers are on the rise but enforcing these special measures requires more staff, something that the zoo just isn't in a position to currently afford. luckily, londoners have stepped on. thousands of them responded to

a callout, asking people on fellow to come in volunteer and help the zoo get back its feet. excuse me, would you mind trying to social distance a tiny bit, thank you very much. this is sofia, she volunteered her times since lockdown put her times since lockdown put her studies on hold. i've been volunteering for about a week, this is my third shifts away and really new at this but i've been finding it really exciting andi been finding it really exciting and i am looking forward to coming here every time i've gotta shift. you go all the way out of the tigers... the world isa out of the tigers... the world is a bit all over the place and it's nice to see people have some time off and not think about everything else that is going on. you see peoplejust being kind of carefree and walking around and enjoying their time here. i'm studying biology and they want to work in conservation, so having the time to go around and looked at the animals, it really makes it worth it. another unexpected positive to come out of

lockdown is that the keepers had a little more time to get on with somejobs had a little more time to get on with some jobs without people like me getting in the way. right, so we will be going on and! way. right, so we will be going on and i will give a whistle and that is a signal to the penguins that they can come in. charlie! come on. charlie! every year, the zoo has to check the weight of all the animals. so before lockdown, we didn't have these bridges in place so if we wanted to weigh a penguin we would just put them on the scales if we needed to, but with the time that we had during lockdown, my colleague got to make these amazing way bridges. yeah, good boy! now, i think amazing way bridges. yeah, good boy! now, ithink has amazing way bridges. yeah, good boy! now, i think has been for a lot of people when they say we have all piled on the lockdown pounds. charlie was

4.230. the penguins have been superb over lockdown and have maintained their weights. lucky them. unlike the rest of us. well, that's all from us this week but dojoin well, that's all from us this week but do join us next time when we will be bringing you a selection of our favourite wildlife adventures from over the years. from the dog who is exploring every national park in the us on the back of a motorbike to the world's first open water century for bill —— beluga whales. and don't forget to follow us on all the usual places. so from me and the rest of the travel show team here and london, it's goodbye.

hello. well, i think most of us would agree that the last few days have been pretty decent on the weather front. we've had plenty of sunny spells. it's been pleasantly warm, and this spell of settled weather is going to continue through the weekend. there might be one or two showers in the far south of the country, brought by this low pressure which is actually close to spain and portugal. that's just encroaching into the south of the uk. but on the whole, it's looking absolutely fine, and the advice is make the most of this weekend because next weekend could be very different. much more like autumn. so, this is what it looks like early on saturday morning. you can see the showers there crossing the english channel, just about approaching cornwall and devon there by the second half of the morning or around about lunchtime. let's zoom in to the south and see where the showers will be. so, the thinking is cornwall, devon, maybe somerset, one or two possibly sneaking into the isle of wight as well, but certainly north of the m4, it's looking mostly sunny.

in fact, a beautiful afternoon on the way. bit of a breeze still blowing out of the east—northeast, but even in the north of the country, temperatures could nudge up to close to 20 celsius. the thinking is that later on in the afternoon, it might cloud over around the aberdeenshire coastline and also the north of england. there's a lot of cloud here in the north sea and that north—easterly wind will push some of that cloud closer to land. but the evening on the whole is looking fine for most of us on saturday. sunday's weather forecast is going to be a mostly bright if not sunny day. the winds will be just that bit lighter in the south and no further showers are expected in the south, so, a dry day and a warm one as well. temperatures possibly hitting the mid 20s in the south east of the country, cooler on the north sea coast, only around 15. the outlook for early next week, it is still looking fine, but midweek onwards, it's a complete change in fact, weather systems are expected to spiral up in the atlantic and head in our direction. yep, you guessed it. autumn will be knocking on the door. so, a big change in the way for around about tuesday, wednesday onwards. now, the beginning of the week is looking absolutely fine and on monday, the south of the country with temperatures

still hitting around 25 celsius, a little cooler by tuesday and from wednesday, it's all change.

good morning, welcome to breakfast with naga munchetty and jon kay. 0ur headlines today: decision time for borisjohnson — the prime minister's to spend the weekend considering if nationwide lockdown restrictions will be needed in england, to tackle the rise in coronavirus cases. early closing in newcastle and the north—east, as a nightime curfew affecting bars and restaurants comes into effect. i don't think it is going to make any difference. the virus doesn't die at ten o'clock. it is good because it is saving people's lives, but because we have to cut short a night
