hello, this is bbc news with me, shaun ley. the headlines: a senior government minister warns the second national lockdown in england could last more than a month, amid fears that the rise in coronavirus cases could overwhelm hospitals. from thursday non—essential shops, restaurants, pubs, gyms and hair and beauty salons will be forced to close. the uk opposition leader has welcomed the new measures but is calling on the government to use the time to ramp up test and trace. typhoon goni has made landfall in the philippines, with sustained winds of 225km/h. the most powerful storm this year has caused the evacuation

of over 200,000 people. rescued after 33 hours — search teams in the turkish city of izmir pull a man from under the rubble of a building that collapsed in friday's earthquake. 51 people are known to have died. the us presidential candidates are making a final—weekend dash around swing states. donald trump has been in pennsylvania and joe biden in michigan — both states that could be key to winning the white house. time now for 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? 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 1, 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 it 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, innit? 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 boon. being closed for half a season i wouldn't call a benefit, but when we were actually allowed to open from the 4th 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 remained closed all this summer. but now, as coronavirus cases rise 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 4th of july without any cases. but i feel that provided everybody sticks to all the covid—secu re 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 constantly changing, what happens if you're then from travelling? the restrictions vary across the uk. at the moment, they're most severe in wales, where nonessential travel during the firebreak 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, explain 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 until 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, 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 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—america ns 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 be 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 200kg of weight 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 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 hejust 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 boar in these woods. 65 of them live in the area. let's walk there, come 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, sleep here in the day, but i cannot smell her.

first if you see a wild boar in part of the forest, don't worry, be happy. take your phone, make a photo. don't give them food. wait some minutes, maybe one minute or more, if you are alone, talk with wild boars 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 herfamily?

it has been a bit of a learning curve but germans are finding ways to live cheek byjowl with their hungry neighbours. so if you find yourself face—to—face with the boars of berlin, treat them like the wild animals they are — and hold onto your pack lunch. finally, we are off to japan, with halloween celebrations looking a little different this year. the world's zombies, vampires and mummies have been left scratching their heads how to offer up scares while remaining at a social distance. carmen has been to a haunted house that reckons it might have just solved the problem. 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 lights 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 door‘s locked? yeah, it is locked. oh, my god, lock the door. what is that? it 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 look, i can't look! i don't want to look, i don't want to look! 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. in a time of covid—19, a group of actors, 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, iam notjoking. is he dead? did she kill him? oh, my goodness, i can't look. 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 my friend has come along for the ride 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!

she scream they say it was inspired by some of the other drive—in experiences that 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? 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 experience.

ok, so make sure my eyes and my mouth are really big? is this the look i am going for? leap 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 every day you are asked to leap on a blood—spattered car and scare everyone inside. i would definitely boil that down to an only—in—japan moment, but i am not sure i could do it day in, day out as myjob. that is it 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 years, like when adi tried improvised comedy in new york. you asked for a seven—storey bronze statue of yourself. it is beautiful. and when mike went behind the scenes at rio's carnival. i don't know what 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. there pa rt part two of the weekend looking very u nsettled, part two of the weekend looking very unsettled, our first rain part two of the weekend looking very unsettled, ourfirst rain is part two of the weekend looking very unsettled, our first rain is about to push up from the south—west. another day of rain and gales, a little bit of brightness across northern and eastern areas through this morning, a rippling weather front moving up from the south will

bring persistent rain. this is the centre of the low pressure, a new area of low which contains the re m na nts of area of low which contains the remnants of the hurricane, bringing a punch to western scotland later with very strong winds. much of the west of the country, into the midlands, outbreaks of rain, some heavy and persistent across western hills with minor flooding. heavy and persistent across western hills with minorflooding. further south, drier, gusts up to 50 mph around the coasts, 70 or more than that around the north—west of scotla nd that around the north—west of scotland later in the day, some severe gales here. temperatures, mild for england and wales, called for northern parts of scotland, very blustery across the north of scotla nd blustery across the north of scotland and the northern isles in particular, further south holding onto the cloud, outbreaks of rain, particularly southern scotland, much of england and wales, remaining windy, a very mild night, 15—16 is the minimum across the south—east, chillierfurther north. the minimum across the south—east, chillier further north. that weather front brings rain into monday across the eastern side of england, but

eventually clearing through. it is a cold front, so is it clear through, taking the rain and cloud with it, but also the milder air, something fresher through the day. right as well with some sunshine, showers piling into western areas through the day, merging together to produce longer spells of rain, so quite white in some areas. it is going to be another windy day, particularly in the south and east, is that weather front clear through. lighter winds for scotland and northern ireland compared to today. very mild start in the south—east, into the afternoon now higher than 12 or 13 degrees. we lose that milder air into tuesday, replaced with much fresher air from into tuesday, replaced with much fresher airfrom the into tuesday, replaced with much fresher air from the north—west. that is the theme through the rest of the week, staying on the chilly side, frosty nights as well in places, but some sunshine around, temperatures reaching 11 or 12 degrees at best, different than what we have been used to ovulate. the drying story for the rest of the week, less with fewer... turning
