been put frankly, the distances have been put in place to ensure that we can do this safely. i revert back to the fa ct this safely. i revert back to the fact that the planning and information that has been sent down from government, from governing bodies, has ensured that we have effectively delivered a plan that we believe could be something that could be ruled out, and we are pleased to do it. and ourfans could be ruled out, and we are pleased to do it. and our fans are pleased to do it. and our fans are pleased to do it. and our fans are pleased to come in and support the team. those fans that cannot get income support from their armchairs at home, that is what we will do, we wa nt to at home, that is what we will do, we want to start regaining that confidence to return spectators back to football. let us hope it goes off well and safely today. meteorologists have been forced to resort to the greek alphabet after storm wilfried was

the last alphabetised storm of the year. storms alpha and beta are now forming on the other side of the atlantic. now it's time for a look at the weather with helen willetts. hello there. the dry and really quite sunny weather will continue for most throughout the rest of today, in fact through most of the weekend. there is a little more cloud in the south, and a chance of a shower or two, and it is still breezy across the south, really noticing that breeze around 30 mph, and there could be heavy showers pushing into particularly southern england and the channel islands, even the odd rumble of thunder. the mist and fog is clearing away for the north, but we do have that increasing risk of low cloud coming out of the eastern coast of england, scotland, and it is also with us for the northern and western isles throughout the day and night. it is a subtle change as the shower is that in the south start to pull away, temperatures do hold in double figures for the most part, but i think still feeling quite chilly if

you are out and about. the breeze in southern areas, with us tomorrow, notched down but a few showers, then it is all change as you can see as we go into next week. still a lot of dry and settled weather for the rest of the weekend. hello, this is bbc news with geeta guru—murthy. the headlines. tributes are paid as the pioneering us supreme court judge and champion of women's rights — ruth bader ginsburg — borisjohnson is holding urgent talks this weekend — to decide whether to impose lockdown restrictions on the whole of england local lockdown restrictions come into force in some parts of the uk parts of the uk with bars and restaurants closing early. more than 800,000 people living in the spanish capital madrid will go into lockdown after a surge in the number of new infections. and the uk government is to allow dozens more afghan interpreters — who risked their lives working

hello and welcome to the show. this is the giraffe house at london zoo, newly reopened after months of lockdown, something which these guys are lockdown, something which these guys a re clearly lockdown, something which these guys are clearly ridiculously excited about. so i have come here to find out how this place has been looking to volunteers from london's furloughed workforce to get itself up furloughed workforce to get itself up and running once again. but first, an anniversary to remember, and not a happy one. two years ago this month, fire completely gutted brazil's national museum in rio, destroying literally millions of priceless a rtefa cts. destroying literally millions of priceless artefacts. ever since, teams of restorers have been searching through the ashes to piece together what is left. we sent mike cory tojoin them together what is left. we sent mike cory to join them before lockdown. around 200,000 people a year visited brazil's national museum. it housed

some of the country's most invaluable historic treasures, 20 million items in all, their origins spanning thousands of years. a former imperial palace, it was built former imperial palace, it was built for the portuguese royal family former imperial palace, it was built for the portuguese royalfamily in the early 19th century. but two yea rs the early 19th century. but two years ago, in september 2018, disaster struck. a fire, blamed on a fa u lty disaster struck. a fire, blamed on a faulty air conditioning unit, spread out of control, destroying the building and half its collection. the museum is still closed for tourists as it is a burnt out husk of what it used to be, and to much of what it used to be, and to much of the devastation is still being cleared away. walking around, you just feel hollow, like the remains of the

museum. this room right here is where the fire started. when the scale of the devastation became clear, luciana and her collea g u es became clear, luciana and her colleagues entered the burning building to try to save some of the a rtefa cts .

the public grief was overwhelming. the public grief was overwhelming. the museum wasn't some dusty old relic but one of the country's top higher education centres, a hub of activity. the national museum is located in the south district of rio dejaneiro. located in the south district of rio de janeiro. it is located in the south district of rio dejaneiro. it is a little chaotic and not the wealthy is part of the city. there are many poor areas nearby, somejust a city. there are many poor areas nearby, some just a few stops away on the train. and in a city which is as divided as rio which is famous for savalas as well as golden

beaches, the museum will forever be remembered as a place where people from all backgrounds could come together. for former staff members and students, it continues to leave and students, it continues to leave a mark. i know that pain. luis here is tattooing the image of the national museum on marina. she studied archaeology at the museum. more than 100 people have got one of his commemorative tattoos. idid my i did my tattoo because the museum is so important to me. i work at the museum, my best friends are from there, my professors. we loved it. it was like a home. we will see the

final piece of art. beautiful. look at that, such fine lines. marina, you made it. you survived. back at the site, a team of researchers comb through the debris for surviving artefacts. despite all the destruction, there are still some exciting discoveries. it looks like something important in here. yes. or what is left of something important? yes, these are some of the remains. that is one of the old est the remains. that is one of the oldest skeletons found in america, one of the oldest. it is estimated the remains date back 11,500 years. it was an iconic item for the collections. we couldn't rescue about 90% of the skeleton, so we hope that in the future we will be able to make a proper reconstruction, may be a restoration

of the material. i have a really great team, very dedicated, and they are giving their souls to rescue what is possible to be rescued. since we visited the museum back in january, the outlook has grown more uncertain. restoration work is on hold because of coronavirus, and the tea m hold because of coronavirus, and the team has only managed to fund raise half of its $70 million target. it has meant plans to partially reopen for brazil's bicentennial in 2022 are unlikely to go ahead. the future of the museum keeps on. we have to keep working. to interact with the public is 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 great 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 seen particularly hot and sunny weather, and that led to a bumper harvest, but with the collapse in demand, 2020 definitely won't go down as a vintage year. the crisis hit champagne very hard, because the drop of one third of the shipments is even worse than what we had expected during the great depression or in 7a after the oil

crisis. the region has a tradition of resilience because it has experienced all the big crises, especially of the first half of the century, and the first world war really took place here, and then the second world war also impacted the region. so there 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 toa this year thanks to drought, thanks to a very present son, we had concentrated aromas and a wide flavour palate.

we know the situation is bad from an economical and health standpoint, but least in a few years when those wines are ready to be released, we will have beautiful champagne wine to offer. still to come. stuck on your greatest adventure. the round the world challenges that lockdown stopped in their tracks. and the furloughed workers that helped get london zoo back on its pause.

so, one of the things the zookeepers here were able to do during lockdown is give some of the animal is extra special attention. the goats here love a good rub down. so, chelsea, how did the goats react to the lack of visitors? it must have been lonely for them. they definitely miss the interaction. as you can see, they do like a good scratch. they didn't know what was going on. so for the first few days, they were over by the gates where the visitors would normally come in, waiting for somebody to come in 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. yes. bless you. i 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 that have managed to visit every country in the world. the un recognises 193 countries, and it's estimated that less than 250 people have ever stepped foot in each and everyone. we spoke to some intrepid adventurers who are attempting this, and toa adventurers who are attempting this, and to a woman who has completed this monumental challenge. 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 and 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 completely impossible post coronavirus, just

that you have to understand that it may take a little bit more time and effort and patience. i'm julia. i'm chantelle. i'm chloe. we were in cambodia, and we could see boarders we re cambodia, and we could see boarders were starting to close, and things we re were starting to close, and things were getting really uneasy and there we re were getting really uneasy and there were no motorists except for us, so were no motorists except for us, so we we re were no motorists except for us, so we were like, what is going on? so 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 lockdown. we wanted to achieve our goal within the next two years of visiting every country, so we were moving two years of visiting every country, so we were moving pretty fast this year until covid hit. the big question is, if it lasts for another year, what are we going to do? where are we going to do? but i'm sure things are going to start to progress eventually, the world has to open back up again. i'm sam, i've been to 183 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 i kind of figured, well, i've only got 20 countries left. i was meant to finish in april. i flew from fiji to tonga and then once i got to tonga, about two days later they closed all the borders and said, nope. no—one can leave, you are all stuck here, then i waited there for five months and i was hearing from government officials from other pacific islands i wouldn't be able to visit any of the countries for 18 months, two years, that type of thing, so i kind of decided after that that i would just leave. a lot of people say, can i do it — just do it and make it work, so we always reverse engineer what we want to do. we say, this is our goal, this is what we want to do and how can i make it happen? i did it because it was my dream since i was really young, and my dream was to see as much of the world is possible, it was to travel, see loads of different countries and i did a pretty good job of that, so i'm 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. i am up in the mountains of afghanistan, you can see the mountain ranges behind me here, simply beautiful, so nice. one of my favourite countries in the world is actually afghanistan, it's a country that everyone is scared of. i was scared of it before i went, and then i went there and i realised i actually loved it. i love that it's super traditional, it feels like you're going back in time. everyone wears traditional clothes, all of the buildings are old, the only real signs of modernness 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, i said to the whole family, you guys are on that side of the street and do not come to my side of the street,

and i willjust walk by myself and in within two minutes they are all over here again, and i'm like, what are you guys doing! this is my own mental space! everything makes a lot more sense now to me and i find that i 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 parks. since it opened its gates to visitors “118117, the stream of income has been steady. i think the penguins 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 oldest scientific zoo in the world

struggling to survive. it's been really, really hard for us. the moment our 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 to continue feeding our animals. take a metre step back, please. 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 reserves, 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, that are so dedicated, were going to come out of the other side and come out

the other side 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 one—way routes, there's hand sanitiser everywhere you go, there's 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 in. thousands of them responded to a callout, asking people on furlough to come and volunteer and help the zoo get back its feet. excuse me, would you mind just try social distance a tiny bit, thank you very much. this is sofia, she volunteering to help fill her time since lockdown put her studies on hold. i've been volunteering for about a week, this is my third shift so i'm really new at this but i've been finding it really exciting and i am looking forward to coming here every time i've got a shift. you go all the way out of the tigers and you're gonna find the outback. 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 people just being kind of carefree and walking around and enjoying their time here. i'm studying biology and i want to work in conservation, so having the time to go around

and look 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 some jobs without people like me getting in the way. right, so we will be going in and i will give a whistle and that is a signal to the penguins that they can come in. whistle. charlie! come on. charlie! every year, the zoo has to check the weight of all their 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 weigh bridges. yeah, good boy! now, i think i speakfor a lot of people when i say we've all piled on the lockdown pounds. suzie, how about the penguins?

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 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's exploring every national park in the us on the back of a motorbike to the world's first open water sactuary for beluga whales. we've met some amazing creatures on the show. and don't forget to follow us in all the usual places — we're @bbctravel. so from me, lucy hedges, and the rest of the travel show team here in london, it's goodbye.

hello there. there will continue to be a lot of dry and sunny weather throughout the rest of the weekend. yes, it is still quite breezy in southern areas, gusts of wind 30, 30 five miles per hour, so that is tempering the field. and actually at the moment we have also got more cloud being pulled into southern areas around this area of low pressure, so that will mean hazy sunshine, in fa ct that will mean hazy sunshine, in fact some thicker cloud across southern counties in particular throughout the rest of the day, which may also give the odd shower, the odd heavy shower too. further north the misty low cloud rolling and of the north sea. it is likely that the heavy showers, the most likely chance of showers and the

channel islands in southern areas could be heavy as well. it is still warm in the sunshine, despite the breeze, and the gusts are higher than that. further north, the wind is not such a feature, plenty of sunshine, feeling warm in northern ireland, but there is an increasing chance at this low cloud will drift onshore through the day, and the misty low cloud and fog around the northern and western isles will continue as well. in fact overnight we pick up a bit more of an easterly, dragging that low cloud in across eastern scotland and northern england, whilst at the same time the showers become less numerous and the cloud starts to break further south. so not a particularly cold night, but it will feel chillyjust because we have got that breeze in the south. the low cloud will take a while to burn back and we could have fog patches first thing, but otherwise a lot of dry, settled weather again, the wind is perhaps a notch down on the south but still noticeable, and again you can see high teens rather than low to mid 20s which continues into monday as well. we have that low cloud to clear away in southern areas first

thing, a switch in wind direction to the south—westerly and rain for the north and west of the uk, but again for many with sunny skies once again, monday continues warm. but then monday night into tuesday, that low pressure, that weather front, sta rts low pressure, that weather front, starts to take shape. so windy weather, wet weather, and behind that cold weather front it will turn much cooler, and it will start to feel more like autumn. temperatures are going to tumble away from what we have seen this weekend, and then with it the more unsettled weather will arrive. as ever, we will keep you posted, and there is more on our website. goodbye.
