temperatures may be a degree above freezing on the thermometer but when you add on the wind—chill it is going to feel around —6, minus seven degrees for many of us. so a really blustery picture as we head through the course of tonight. the strong wind as we move into sunday morning. a bit more patchy snow for northern england and scotland and temperatures still below freezing first thing tomorrow. further outbreaks of rain that will then fall on subzero surfaces so ice through the day, particularly for northern england and scotland. strong, gusty wind and temperature starting to pick up from the west. goodbye.

the town that typewriters made. and what we all need right now — a little glimpse into our near future. it's golden time. golden time for me — i like the sound of that! hello and welcome to the travel show, coming to you this week from tokyo. now, it's been a long winter of restrictions here and around the world, but now there's the prospect of vaccines and, with them, hope that life can slowly begin opening up again and returning to some kind of normal.

at the travel show, we have been doing our best to carry on, bringing you inspiration from all over the world — a little bit of sunshine in an otherwise gloomy moment in history. of course, tokyo was supposed to host the 2020 olympics and paralympic games last year. we are all keeping our fingers crossed that it will go ahead in 2021. at the moment, that's in serious doubt. if it doesn't happen, the likelihood is that it will be cancelled completely. and in that instance, the next big global event will be the postponed 2020 world expo in dubai. as it stands, it's still on. lucy has been finding out how the authorities there are planning to throw open the gates to ticket holders from all over the world against the background of the current global pandemic. ad: see a futuristic festival filled with ideas, new and radical! - be there to see the alliance of art,

music, fashion and science! this, you can't afford to miss! expo 2020 — over 190 countries coming together here in dubai in a vast new purpose—built exhibition space the size of a small city. a six—month global event showcasing advances in technology, sustainability and opportunity, and the whole thing was due to open in october last year. but thanks to the covid pandemic, nine months ago, the decision was made to postpone the opening of expo 2020 until october this year, a full year on from the original date. well, a lot of the countries that are participating in the expo were impacted quite severely by covid—19, and so it really was the sort of collective decision, under the guidance of the bureau of international exhibitions — which is our governing body — to postpone. but what is also given us is time — this extra time that we've got is to work with the countries on issues and subjects and sort

of the programme they want to bring to the expo that is relevant to a post—covid world. the united kingdom isjust one of over 190 nations exhibiting here, all hoping to showcase the very best of what their countries have to offer. ok, so i have arrived at the uk pavilion. as you can probably tell, still a work in progress, it's still under construction and if i'm being honest, it's looking a tad unimpressive at the moment. but i have been told that when it is finished, it's gonna look incredible. so let's go and meet the man in charge. so we've got a few more months to go, but we will be ready well in advance of expo and we will be looking really forward to welcoming everybody to the site. and what can people expect? what can people get excited about when it comes to the uk pavilion? so the uk pavilion is basically for us a hub to showcase the best that the uk has to offer. it's a really beautiful building but really what is equally as important is what goes inside it. so what we're gonna have is focusing on uk innovation and technology.

and this is a really, really special building — it is based on stephen — one of the last pieces of work that stephen hawking did, which is about his breakthrough message, and the idea is if we could communicate with another species in outer space what would we, as this planet, sent across? and the building is a very interactive one and all the guests that come across pull out their smartphone and are able to donate a word. and we built this artificial intelligence system in the background, and the same word then goes into a much larger poem that's being written by that a! system and that cone, the poem will be displayed there for everybody to see. we want to bring the world together to look at the global challenges that we all face — whether it is dealing with pandemics, or whether it's about climate change and sustainability. this provides a great opportunity for us to be able to do that. there is no doubt that a lot is riding on the expo — not only in terms of international prestige for dubai as it celebrates its 50th anniversary, but also financially. it was originally forecast up to 25 million people would visit the expo, with the majority coming

from abroad, leading to thousands of new hotel rooms being built. but filling them will now be reliant on how many of us are able — and happy — to travel again towards the end of the year. currently, the uae is on the uk's banned list for travellers because of a recent increase in covid cases here. tickets for this year's expo haven't gone on sale yet but with the future of the tokyo olympics still hanging in the balance, nadia says that not only could expo be the first big—scale global event to go ahead in 2021, but also that its message will now be even more relevant. under the sort of banner of connecting minds, creating the future, we've realised that our three themes of sustainability, mobility, and opportunity are even more relevant today than they were even pre—covid. and so, you know, the experiences that the visitors will go through when they come, particularly in our thematic pavilions, really resonate with the moment —

a moment in time in a post—covid world. lucy in dubai. and a glimpse of things to come, once we can start moving again. next, to a totally different part of the world. horn beeps. soft latin music played on guitar. luis has written thousands of poems about different cities around the world, which he describes as if he has onlyjust seen them. and to this day, he has never left cuba.

luis dropped out of school in 1958 and studied maps. but due to the us embargo against cuba, they quickly became out of date. but he managed to stay in touch with world events by chatting to tourists while working as a porter at the trinidad bus station.

still to come on the travel show — the long legacy of italy's top typewriter tycoon. and i meet the robot that can see the future, apparently. i find that a bit ominous, but i guess the takeaway is don't be greedy! next this week, we are in italy, and here is a name that might ring some bells with literary types. it is 120 years since

adriano olivetti's typewriter company transformed the little town of ivrea, near turin, into a pulsing industrial hub. that was a long time ago, of course, but the town's tourism chiefs are now looking to that golden age as a source of new inspiration. before the pandemic, we took our cameras to check it out. file: this little town has become

a kind of industrial paradise, - a place where the employers and the employed are believed to enjoy the best of all possible worlds. in these foothills of piedmont, a worker who has entered camillo's kingdom has all but entered the kingdom of heaven. this is camillo olivetti's empire today — an empire which has distributed over most of the world and employs over 50,000 people. the 20 men here at ivrea have become 14,000. they are the largest typewriter manufacturers in the world and yet, typewriters are only one quarter of their business.

since the beginning, camillo and his son adriano, who followed him as head of the company, have given great thought to the human side of their operation. even from the first days, olivetti and his blacksmith partner used to set an hour aside each day for the worker who had family or money or health problems. they always had time for the employee who wanted a job for his wife or son, or needed a loan to buy a home orfurniture.

after one year of restrictions and lockdowns, we are all anxious to know what is going to happen in our lives and our travels in the near future. well, south korea may provide some answers. last year, i went to its capital city seoul to find out about a very ancient and booming tradition of fortune—telling.

a stroll on one of seoul's main streets gives a clue about the importance of fortune—telling in south korea. dozens of cafes offer a look into the future through tarot cards, palm and face reading, and saju, an ancient form of divination which uses the cosmic energy of your time and date of birth to predict your luck. you were born in summertime, ok. please be patient. but after next year could be much better, from 2022 to here, 2029. it's a golden time. golden time for me — i like the sound of that. yes, it's very nice. so do you get lots of young people coming in? yes, mostly we have young customers.

young people come for — about relationships, they want to know boyfriends, what he thinks, what they think, and about their career. because saju is not some energy, it decides your destiny. wow. thank you so much. speaks korean. saju has become a form of entertainment for koreans but the pressure of modern lives and competition for education and jobs also compel many koreans to seek reassurance in traditional clairvoyance. most of them take it with a pinch of salt. was it a good reading?

and was it a good match? are you still with your boyfriend? thank you. there are an estimated 300,000 fortune tellers in south korea and it's a booming business, worth almost us$4 billion — no wonder many people are keen to learn its secrets!

metal, water, wood, fire and earth are the five elements that students need to learn about. looking at the board, it is not that straightforward. how long do you have to study to become a saju professional?

as is often the case in south korea, tradition has blended with technology. the high—tech industry was quick to grasp the appeal of fortune—telling and dozens of apps now offer instant predictions. this app here has been downloaded ten million times and there is even an english version. ok, so let's see what my fortune is today. oh, dear. it does not look good! "you need to learn how to fight temptations. temptations are all around you." well, that doesn't sound good!

local artists also take inspiration from the traditional culture of fortune—telling. this buddha robot uses artificial intelligence to dispense personalised prophecy. it is slightly disconcerting, being this close to the robot and when i move my head, she also moves her head. hello! the artificial intelligence recognises people's faces and they analyse age, gender and their feeling. and based on the daily information, it makes a sentence that it says to the person in front. speaks korean. so she just said "where there

is greed, there is fear, so if you are not greedy, you have nothing to fear" — i find that a bit ominous! but i guess the takeaway is don't be greedy! so for now, fortune tellers in south korea have a bright future to look forward to — if only their crystal balls could predict when we will all be able to travel the world again. great memories from my trip to south korea there, before any of us had ever heard of coronavirus. well, that's it for this week but coming up next time — lucy is back with some of our favourite trips around south asia, including the time henry got stuck up a tree in kerala. i think i'm going to rip my pants! this is tough!

and a white—knuckle ride to remember down pakistan's hunza river. this feels quite serious now. i have not seen ed for almost 2.5 hours. and don't forget you can catch more of our recent shows on the bbc iplayer, and we are on social media too in all of the usual places. but for now, let's cross our fingers and hope some better news in the coming months. see you soon. bye— bye. it has been another very cold start to the day for many of us, and although things will be turning gradually milder through the weekend, we're not quite there yet.

still lots of light snow and ice around through today. this is picture in north yorkshire. so things are turning milder, but only very gradually. by the end of tomorrow, we'll all be in that milder air. and it's also a windy picture wherever you are through the course of the weekend. we've got this weather front that's been moving in from the west, bringing some heavy snow across northern ireland, five to ten centimeters there. also some patchy snow for western scotland, north west england, wales, down towards the south west of england as well. further east, you should stay dry. but look at these gusts of wind wherever you are. it could be a windy day, gusts of a0 or 50 miles an hour around some exposed coasts. so temperatures on your thermometer only a degree or two above freezing for many of us, but when you add on the strength of the wind, there'll be a significant wind chill. so it'll feel more like minus seven, minus eight degrees out there. a bit of sunshine holding on for the south east of england, east anglia and eastern scotland as well. but for most of us, it's a fairly cloudy picture and that cloud continues working its way eastwards through the course of tonight. a little bit more patchy snow to come for parts of northern england and particularly

for scotland through tonight. so another icy start to your sunday morning. many of us seeing those temperatures once again dipping a little bit below freezing, but it won't be as cold as it has been over recent nights. so an active weather front then tomorrow moving its way in from the west, but bumping into high pressure, sitting out towards the east. so, yes, the moderate air arriving, but it's really going to take its time to push across eastern parts of the uk during sunday. those temperatures in the west are just starting to rise through the course of the morning. but we could well see some really difficult travel conditions, particularly where you've got those subzero temperatures and it's going to be rain falling on freezing surfaces. so ice will be a problem, especially for parts of northern england and for scotland as well. through the day, you will notice the strength of that. wind gusts could reach around 60 to 70 miles per hour around irish sea coast, up towards western isles, for instance, as well. further east, it's windy but largely dry for east anglia and the south east of england. patchy rain working eastwards, affecting many other areas, four or five degrees in the east. but further west, we could

see around 12 degrees for belfast, for instance. and then as we head through the coming week, we swap snow and ice for more wind, rain at times. but things will be turning milderfor all of us.

this is bbc news. these are the latest headlines in the uk and around the world. uk government launches a final push to vaccinate the most vulnerable as it closes in on its target of 15 million jobs. it on its target of 15 millionjobs. if you're in one of those groups what i would say is please come forward if you have not already got an appointment to get this jab because the more people who get this jab the safer everyone is. meanwhile, leading british scientist one vaccines must be made available to poorer countries in order to bring the pandemic under control. the former us president is expected to be acquitted saturday when senators reconvened a vote on his second impeachment trial. protests in myanmar have entered

their eighth day as the un passes a
