more than 85 million people have already cast their vote, leading to predictions that this year could see the highest turnout in over a century. the number of americans testing positive for coronavirus has passed nine million — with the us breaking the record for the biggest rise of cases in a single 2a hour period. overi million new covid—19 cases have been reported in the past 1a days. the british government may be considering whether more coronavirus restrictions are needed across england — after medical sources said the country was at a "crunch point" with rising cases of covid—19. british media reports say a second national lockdown, could be imposed as early as wednesday.

the former england and manchester united player nobby stiles has died aged 78 after a long battle with illness. stiles played every minute of england's victorious 1966 world cup campaign. and he would go on to win a european cup with his boyhood club, manchester united, two years later. our sports correspondent andy swiss has been looking back at a remarkable career. he was one of sport's more unlikely heroes — the world cup winner with the toothless grin and the dancing feet. commentator: i have never seen nobby stiles like this before. thatjig of delight ensured nobby stiles‘ place in footballing folklore. it's nice because people remember you for it. and they say, "oh, yeah, irememberyourjig," and they pass it onto their children and whatever. and so when it's seen, it's nice because, teeth or no teeth, it doesn't matter. you know, it was just the total enjoyment which i was doing. but his talent had been a long time in the making, from his early years growing up in manchester, through to a debut for england's schoolboys at 15.

and in 1960, manchester united came calling. commentator: what a goal! he could score but, above all, he could tackle. and his fearlessness brought him to england's attention. in 1965, he was called up by sir alf ramsey and in february 1966, he scored his first and only international goal. commentator: stiles scored! a few months later, he was part of the team hoping to take england to world cup glory and stiles‘ brave and often brilliant challenges helped england to become champions. the image of him dancing around wembley — trophy in one hand, false teeth in the other — is one he, like everyone else, could never forget. he had a heart that was probably as big as the gap in his teeth. he was just a real character and obviously he was an old school type of player, a hard man. and that grit also helped manchester united to the european cup in 1968.

behind that cheery demeanour, stiles was pure steel. he was fun to be around and on the pitch, it was a different matter. you know, it was all about winning the game. he was a bit of a jekyll and hyde really, if you think about it. when he went on the pitch, he sort of changed and he had a job to do and he did it, did it so well. stiles never enjoyed the riches his achievements deserved, ultimately selling his medals to raise money for his family. but while others may have attracted more headlines, few inspired as much affection as nobby stiles, the man whose pure euphoria once captured a country's imagination. tributes to nobby stiles, who's died at the age of 78. now on bbc news, the travel show. this week on the show... are uk staycations still an option if you're desperate for a break right now?

there's a risk, we just don't know whether these restrictions are still going to be in place by christmas, we don't know if they might get tighter. the sweet taste of america's biggest japan town. berlin's big boar problems. and socially distancing in a zombie apocalypse. oh, my goodness! she can't get in, right? she screams i've come to woolacombe bay holiday park on the devon coast. the weather might not be up to much today but the seaside

below is regularly named among the uk's top beaches. now currently, this is in tier one, the medium risk category under westminster‘s covid rankings. the devolved parliaments in scotland, wales, and northern ireland have each issued their own guidance. in england, the medium risk tier means a 10pm curfew for pubs and restaurants and the rule of six applies inside and out. travel is permitted. and i have to say right now, it feels pretty normal. you feel really safe, you've got all the hand sanitisers, everybody is wearing masks, we've got all signs to wear masks, we've got all the qr codes so you can scan where you have been. and does feel quite safe. with all these hygiene measures, do you think it has affected your holiday at all? no, not really. in some areas it has made it a lot easier to be fair. there is not so many queues,

you don't have to go to the bar fighting to get served. in that way, it's a lot easier. did you check about which covid risk tier this was in, did you do your research? not so much research but looking at a map of the country, you can clearly see coming further down south is a good bit safer than going more up north. we were actually meant to be in portugal this week. but obviously, for quarantine reasons, we decided england was a safer bet, really. obviously, we can't go abroad. we would've liked to have gone abroad both of us being teachers having our half—term. but we couldn't but actually it has just been lovely and the weather has been actually nice, and it is a beautiful setting. so, yeah. so, you rediscovered the uk? yeah, it's been lovely isn't it? yeah, it is a really nice place to come. yeah. over the summer, there was much talk of a surge in so—called staycations. injuly, one of the uk's big cottage rental sites reported a 53% year on year rise in bookings.

but rudi is careful to play down talk of a covid boom. being closed for half a season i wouldn't call a benefit but when we were actually allowed to open from the 11th ofjuly, clearly we could have let the accommodation that we had three orfour times over. we certainly have seen customers that we have not seen before, those people who would have been taking a two—week holiday abroad have been exchanging that for a two—week holiday now in the uk. holiday resorts up and down the country have brought in a range of safety measures — from reducing capacity to introducing timed slots for leisure facilities. we limit the numbers that can go into the swimming pools. you have to pre—book that. and things like our soft play area here remain closed all this summer. but now as coronavirus cases arise nationwide by drawing people from different areas, do these parks risk spreading the virus?

well, of course we are concerned about it. but we've been operating now since the 11th of july without any cases. but i feel that provided everybody sticks to all the covid secure measurements that we've put in place, we can prevent any cases rising in the area. residents in some tourist hotspots have raised concerns about their communities becoming overcrowded while at a few of the larger chain resorts, there have been reports that distancing hasn't always been properly managed. a number have been forced to shut their doors because of coronavirus restrictions. haven and pontin‘s are among the companies to have announced some temporary closures in certain high—risk areas. ros pritchard of the british holiday home parks association represents 3000 businesses around the uk including

campsites, caravan parks and even some glamping spots. she says overall, the ones that remain open are safe. because it's in the business's interest to protect everybody, their staff, the local community, their holiday—makers, your unit's accommodation whether in a tent or in a holiday caravan are 5—6 metres apart and families are kept socially distant by design. the rest is actually quite simple. it's about giving people the opportunity to wash their hands. it's about ensuring social distancing, and it's about cleaning and cleaning again. but there's another issue. even if you decide that it's safe enough to holiday in one of these parks with the guidelines consomme changing, what happens if you're then from travelling? constantly changing the restrictions vary across the uk. at the moment, their most severe in wales were nonessential travelling

during the fire—break lockdown is expressly forbidden. but elsewhere, making sure you are following the right guidance can be tricky. you need to check the rules for the area that you are living in and also the area you are travelling to and the best thing to do is to speak to the holiday provider, explained to them where you are coming from, see what the restrictions are in their area, get them to have a look at your booking, and see whether they think you are still within the law and then decide whether you still want to go on the holiday. and as i say, most of them are being flexible so that if you can't take the holiday, they will give you a refund or allow you to delay your holiday into a later date, maybe into next year. we are approaching december and christmas time and people like to take holidays. so would you recommend that you book a staycation now? well, people are obviously desperate for the holidays and particularly over christmas. so, if you are booking now, there's risk. we just don't know

whether these restrictions are still going to be in place by christmas, we don't know whether they might get even tighter. so, if you are going to book a staycation, then make sure it's a flexible cancellation policy is so you can cancel and get a full refund closer to the time. that's all you can do really at the moment. the latest now in our untold america season in which we take a look at some of the people who really make the united states what it is. this week we're in los angeles home to the largest and oldest japanese community in america. to be a shokunin in this crowd, meaning to be that you have skills with your hands, it generally takes a minimum of ten years. i've been doing this for 44 years now.

you can consider me a master of mochi. the process of making mochi is generally steaming either rice or rice flour, and it's usually mixed with sugar. and then cooled. my grandfather and my grandmother migrated to los angeles from japan and started this business in 1903. this was the largest population of japanese americans in southern california. when my dad and my grandfather got to camp in wyoming,

they were eating nothing but american food. that's why my grandfather decided to make and mass—produce mochi with the help of other detainees because everybody was hungry for something that was japanese and something more cultural. it's amazing how the community came together to help my father restart the store. exactly when i was born, it was reopened. so, this store has been here since 1956. i took over the business in 1986. little tokyo is a very special place for me. i played on the streets here. my son has, too. we grew up here — myself, my son, my father.

in my heart, i amjapanese. but i grew up as totally american. because of the camps, we didn't speakjapanese in the home. and yet i come back to little tokyo to do business, i can go from one side being japanese and go to another side and being totally american. still to come on the travel show... an old boar, german naturists and me. we are going little bit deeper in the forest. how berlin's boar population made headlines this summer. and spare a thought for the zombies. how to get scares from a hygienic distance. so, don't go away.

it's 6am in the forests of southeastern berlin. it's home to a beast that's been causing uproar in germany this summer. it all began in may when a group of boars visiting the suburbs and continued in a nudist area in western berlin. images of both instances quickly went viral. are these tracks or? nothing yet. boars are nocturnal creatures so we are up at dawn to try and spot them. so we've gone a bit deeper into the forest where it is a bit thicker. although elusive this morning, boars have been known to dig up football fields, attack dogs and on rare occasions, even humans. so are the boar dangerous if we give them a fright, will they charge us or? in a direct encounter, they can of course be dangerous. they may have up to 200 kilograms of weight but usually they just try to avoid us.

although no one knows the exact figure, over 1,000 boars are thought to live in berlin. and with around 20% of the city covered in forests, they've got plenty of space to run. we can see one of their favourite food sources, acorns. there could be a boar now ten metres in front of us and you wouldn't see it. they are well camouflaged. but still it's amazing that such a big animal is able to kind of disappear right in front of our eyes. although forests provide ideal shelter, boars survive in urban areas, too. and this year, like the rest of us, they've adapted to a new normal. in the beginning of the lockdown in germany, there were wildlife just entering city areas using spaces that they usually were not using because of human presence. so, no sign of any boar...

actually, we have the sign of a boar. we have a sign of a boar! we have traces there. let's have a look. yep. 0k. what you see here is very typical. so, you can imagine why they can cause a lot of damage to public green spaces when you see that. you think you're going tracking animals, it's going to be kind of a little paw prints, footprints. no, just absolute chaos! when it comes to finding food, boars are known to be resourceful. and unlike other urban wildlife, they don'tjust dig through the rubbish bins. instead, they've discovered a more productive way. so i was sitting the whole day on the computer and i thought i have to have a swim now. and when i came out of the lake, i saw these boars. and i wanted to take a picture.

so the boar came and grabbed this yellow so the boar came and grabbed this yellow bag and i didn't know but the man said, "this is my computer!" and he just ran. to get his computer back. as a life coach, i'm always looking for stories where people are focused, where they stay focused and really achieve what they want. and this man, he stayed focus and he just ran and i think this is a great successful story. he's really a hero to me, he's a winner! adele posted the pictures on social media and forgot about the incident until her phone started ringing. the whole world, the whole press called me. so the next 3—4 days, i really had to answer questions, i had to give radio interviews. i was very, very surprised that this story became so viral. people started coming here to catch the glimpse of the boar and they gave her the name elsa.

look here, that is a male. big one. wildlife expert derk ehlert knows the lake's most famous resident personally. so, tell me a bit about elsa when she grabbed somebody‘s laptop bag, i presume it had food in there, right? yes, it was food. at the front, there was some bread she smelled and she wants to eat it directly but the man was coming too close. so, she preferred to go away because she wants to save the food. of course she is not the only boarin of course she is not the only boar in these woods. 65 of them live in the area. what's walk there, maybe we have walk. here isa green there, maybe we have walk. here is a green place for the people and look here, come on. i think she is not there but here you can see here like a nest, you know? like a bird. it is

typical for wild boar, they prefer to live here, cpa in the day but i cannot smell her. —— to sleep here in the day. first if you see a wild boar in part of the force, don't worry, be happy. take it from, make a photo. don't give the food. wait some minutes, maybe one minute or more, if you are alone, talk with wild boar because it is important that they know that you are there. although elsa and herfriends have stayed hiding today, there are places where you are almost guaranteed a sighting. wildlife sanctuaries like this one are here to help people feel connected to nature. and unlike in the wild, beating here is allowed. do you come down here often to feed the boar with her

family? it is perfect. it has been a bit of a learning curve but germans are finding ways to lift cheek by child with their hungry neighbours. so if you find yourself face—to—face with the boars of berlin, treat like the wild and was that they are and hold onto your pack lunch. finally we are off to japan with haggling celebrations looking a little different this year. the world's zombies, vampires and mummys have been left scratching their heads how to offer up scarce while remaining at a social distance. carmen has been to 100 house that reckons it might have just solved the problem. —— one

haunted house. iam in a solved the problem. —— one haunted house. i am in a car in an unmarked garage somewhere in tokyo. at least i think i am, it's hard to be sure about anything any more. the whites have gone off and i have no idea what is happening. i should warn you, i have a very nervous disposition. can you make sure your doors locked? yeah, it is locked. oh, my god, walk the door. what is that? yeah, it is locked. oh, my god, walk the door. what is that7m isa walk the door. what is that7m is a radio. i am really, really scared. they say in an old garage in tokyo, there is some mysterious appearances. what is that noise? i can't book, i can't work! i don't want to look, i don't want to look! do

you know what to? i don't think i will ever go into a garage again. this is a haunted house but not as you know it because this is actually a haunted drive—in. ina this is actually a haunted drive—in. in a time of covid—19, a group of factors, at least i hope they are actors, have come up with a socially distanced immersive, scary experience. look at it! he is so scary! and when i say scary i am notjoking. is he dead? did she kill him? oh, my goodness, i can't book. it runs like a short play and the story is told on the radio. the organisers say they are still working on an english version so working on an english version so my friend has come along for

the right to help with any words i don't know and some much needed moral support. please can i hold your hand? someone is coming she says! screaming they say it was an inspired by some of the entertainment expenses that sprung up around the world during covid—19. sprung up around the world during covid-19. 0h, sprung up around the world during covid-19. oh, my god this is awful! she is begging for help. she can't get in, right? screaming i don't want to look. badly in need of a break, i have stepped out of the car to talk to one of the actresses about this unique or experience.

0k ok so make sure my eyes and my mouth are really big? is this the book i am going for? leapt onto the car? so now that i look the part and i know my moves, it's time to rejoin the story for the next customer. i don't know who she is but i heard she is very nervous.

well, that was really a surreal experience. it's not everyday you are asked to weep on a blood spattered car and scare eve ryo ne blood spattered car and scare everyone inside. i would definitely boil that down to and only injapan moment but i am not sure i could do it day m, am not sure i could do it day in, day out myjob. that is it from us this week but do join us from us this week but do join us next week when i will be looking back at some of the best cultural experiences we have had on the show over the yea rs have had on the show over the years like when we tried improvised comedy in new york. you asked for a seven story bronze statue of yourself. it is beautiful. and when mike went behind the scenes at rio's carnaval. i don't know when i

am doing. but maybe that is half the fun. and don't forget to follow us in all the usual places on twitter and facebook and on instagram... until next time from me and the rest of the travel show team here in germany, it is goodbye. hello. by midweek next week, our weather will finally have turned drier and calmer, but for the weekend, it is far from it. and for saturday, storm aiden — as named by the irish weather service for impacts there, but even across the uk — will be very windy and, at times, very wet. here's that area of low pressure passing to the north west of scotland. another will come along

on sunday, as it stays windy and there will be more rain. now, saturday begins already with some outbreaks of heavy rain towards the west in particular and, for a time, clearing north across scotland, but then further heavy, even torrential bursts of rain sweep east across the uk with very gusty, squally winds, although for many of us, that will clear to some sunshine. it is in the west where we'll see the strongest gusts of wind — 50, 60 miles an hour — but closer to 70 on exposed coasts and hills. but even elsewhere, as this torrential rain moves on through, could well see some gusts of 50—60 mph. it's going to be a mild start to the weekend. many of us see the rain clear to sunshine, but there will be further rain or northern ireland into western scotland in the afternoon. and still very strong winds. parts of western scotland could for a time gust in excess of 70 mph. the winds ease a touch overnight and into sunday morning, as more rain comes on through from the west. now, sunday will be a very windy day. this area of low pressure

contains the remnants of what was once hurricane zeta. so, yes, closer to that, we'll see the strongest winds, but all parts will have another windy day. and after some early rain clears through, some will brighten up in scotland and northern ireland. further outbreaks of rain in england and wales. some of that mayjust push further north as we go on through the day. those winds still very gusty, particularly in northwest scotland. the chance of seeing some gusts above 70 mph for a time, and sunday is still looking mild. now, it does turn colder next week, but that's part and parcel of a significant change in the weather. still some rain or showers around to start the week, still quite windy. but from midweek, it's drier, it's calmer, yes, it's colder, and there could be frost and fog overnight. but for the weekend, a focus on very wet and windy weather. if there are some problems because of the weather, bbc local radio can keep you updated, and do check out the latest met office weather warnings online.
