and northern ireland, where it will be a fine afternoon. at least on tuesday, after a chilly start, most places will be dry with sunny spells. see you soon.

hello, this is bbc news with martine croxall. the headlines: wales celebrate as they qualify for the last 16 in the euro 2020 tournament, despite defeat in rome.

a senior scientist says it might be possible for people with both covid jabs to face fewer restrictions, and travel without quara ntining. i think in the time in the future, i'm not sure when, but a time in the future, i can imagine a situation where we will have alternatives to isolation for people who have two doses of the vaccine. a plea from pilots for more help to stop the pandemic devastating the airline industry. the bbc understands the post office has made payouts to 400 former sub—postmasters falsely accused of theft and fraud, but thousands are still waiting for compensation. and the "nestcam" stars who are proving to be a real hoot with internet audiences. now on bbc news, the travel show. ade drives an all—electric update of a traditional morris van from the seaside of scarborough into the dales to find out what lies in store for british summer

holidays this year. you've got to love it, proper british coastline. we're on an adventure across the uk, as it opens up for travel again. yes! we're open! from rugged coastlines, to breathtaking landscapes. and natural habitats. see that? ourjourney will take us to the four nations that make up the united kingdom. and with an eye on our carbon footprint, we're in an all—electric revamp of an iconic british motor. on this week's show, i'm travelling the width of england's biggest county, north yorkshire. home of seaside treats... you know something's really good when you're sucking as hard as you can and you just can't get anything out. ..uphill climbs...

made that look easy, guys! perfect! how you doing, guys? ..and the warmest, friendliest people you could hope to meet. say hello! hello! laughs. north yorkshire's coastline is stunning. long sandy beaches studded with old fishing villages. all on the edge of one of the country's great national parks. peace and quiet and beauty is what attracts people here, but that's not where i'm starting. there she is! scarbados! jaunty brass band music plays. glinting in the sunshine. scarborough is the uk's

oldest beach resort. this is where you come if you're looking for the proper old—school seaside traditions. got the ice—cream parlours, the slot machines, got the beach, the sea, the smell of fish and chips out the window. after a week in scotland, the electric van is still holding up well, and getting a lot of love here on the south bay. how you doing, guys? you all right? yes, really good, really good. we're travelling around scarborough and yorkshire. take care! oh, it's you off the telly! how are you? i'm all right, you? yeah, good, good. we're filming for the travel show, you're actually on camera. come here, look, look! say hello! hello! laughs.

scarborough is also home to the country's oldest funicular train company. scarborough has got, let's call it a mixed reputation these days. but it used to be properly posh. back in the 17th century, mineral springs were discovered in the cliffs so people used to come here for the healthy waters, and it's still incredibly popular. in fact, more holidaymakers visit the yorkshire coast than anywhere else in the country outside london. most of the businesses on the seafront had a rocky old 2020. but this year, the hotels are already well booked all the way through to october. it's a golden opportunity to make up for all that lost time. morning, all right if i go in? thank you! if it's seaside traditions you're after, this is the place to be. the harbour bar has been

in scarborough for 75 years. these days, like all of us, it's doing its best to follow the covid guidelines, with customers kept safely in the fresh air. i'm looking for your biggest, most extravagant and spectacular ice cream. yeah? i'll make a knickerbocker glory for you, then. is that the one? it's flashy, and tasty? yeah. you know something's really good when you're sucking as hard as you can and you just can't get anything out. it's ridiculous. the shop's been open since the end of the second world war. julian started working here when he was 12, and he's the third generation of his family to make and sell ice cream in scarborough. we'd done 75 years, so we celebrated at the beginning of august. a small family party and a few staff. and that's about all we could do. it was sad, because children have grown up on our stools,

and then they've come back as adults and they've brought their children. i think there will be a lot of people flocking to places like scarborough all over the uk. yeah. do you think scarborough's ready, do you think yorkshire's ready for it? scarborough will fill up, the hotels, boarding houses, they're getting busy, you can see a lot more people walking around. and the staff seem to be getting a lift, because they have stuck it out, we've tried. how confident are you about the future? very confident, yeah. i think scarborough... scarborough will do well, theresa and i have been talking about starting a family... laughs. what's in these knickerbocker glorys? is it something in these? theresa, you hear that? idid, yes! i thinkjulian said twins. another trick scarborough has up its sleeve is its surroundings.

it lies right on the edge of the north yorkshire moors national park. 20 minutes from the beachfront, and you're driving through all this. the poxy weatherjust makes it all the more atmospheric. so, i'm on my way to a place that's become a real attraction in these parts. you'll have seen it on the big screens in the harry potter movies, and in fact, only last month, tom cruise was here shooting his latest mission: impossible film. as i arrive, the north york moors railway has only been open a couple of days after months of lockdown. hey, come on!

i'm on ! are you aid... ade! you're famous! i'm not that famous! it's really nice to be on this train. when it shut down, one of the consequences was not only did it impact the passengers, but all the staff that work on this line. i was speaking to the stationmaster, and he travels 100 miles to work on this line, and he's a volunteer, he does it for free. so, it's just... it makes it feel even more special that it's back up and running again. we need this, they all need this. it takes £7 million a year to keep this running. you put it here? marvellous. and when you come face—to—face with the guys trying to keep

the wheels on the rails, you really understand the colossal effort, and expense. so, i just light the flare, and what i want you to do is just have a look inside that hole inside the boiler there, and just make sure there's no lumps of scale and sludge, and make sure all the passageways are nice and clear. mate, it seems all clear in there, i think there's something, some brown stuff on the left, on the left—hand side. we have to do this every 28 days, to wash the boiler out, and there's nearly 50 of these plugs on the engine. 50! and we have got to remove each plug, wash out, we have to check inside with the flare and fit them all back nice and tightly. having talked about the amount of maintenance you have to do, what was it then like for you to have to close all these stations down because of lockdown? it was a challenge, but we put out a marketing appeal online for donations to help us keep us going during the pandemic,

we also did a silent auction where people could enter and bid to come out and have lunch with me on the diner, and stuff like that. nice! yeah, yeah, yeah, people pay for that, that's cool. things like that were incredibly important to keep us going. and how long do you think you would have been able to keep going, keeping this place mothballed without any visitors? probably not much longer, to be honest. there was a few moments when you sit there and you're watching the news and you're like, you're just uncertain about what's going on in the world, but you've got to be positive, i'm a pint—half, full—kind of guy. we knew we would get back to this and survive it. it's an hour's drive to our next destination, a city that has been spending a lot of time and effort thanking its lockdown heroes. there it is, york. around 8.5 million people came here on a trip pre—lockdown,

and that supported around 211,000 jobs, which was a lot of livelihoods that were thrown up in the air when the shutters came down. but what i really love about york is the fuss they have made about all the people that have kept us going during lockdown. this exhibit at the national railway museum celebrates the guys that kept the railways running last year. but there's more. these murals form a city centre trail to honour the local heroes who went to extremes to help out their community. julia's cafe is bustling these days, and we're complying with its strict covid measures, but last year when the pandemic hit, it was forced to close. so, instead of turning up to work and knocking out the breakfasts, she had an idea.

tell me about the supper collective, then. we quickly started to worry and think about some of our locals, our regulars, and how they were going to manage. and quite quickly, we realised there was going to be a need for people to get meals, that were isolated and vulnerable. so, wejust started doing some meals, and it very quickly snowballed, lots of people came on board with us, and we were delivering food to people that were vulnerable, isolated, all over york. restaurants from across the city got involved, from pizza joints to chocolate emporiums, and julia was right at the heart of it. julia, tell me about this artwork that's going on here. oh, yeah, it's incredible. they basically wanted to celebrate all the people that had done things for the community, so me and steve had our photograph taken, and it has been kind of like graffitied. it's great, an amazing picture. and it represents

the supper collective, all the people that helped. then we have ones like an a&e doctor and we have people who have worked in boots the chemist, really on the frontline through a difficult time, who carried on working, and put themselves, some people, obviously at risk. the supper collective has scaled back its activities slightly to try and encourage people back out of their homes. but deliveries are still taking place to some of the most isolated and vulnerable. the next leg of myjourney continues west, deep into the great expanse of wilderness that is the yorkshire dales. so, i had a good scan of the maps that you'll find online that shows you where all the charge points are. and out here, it wasn't that great.

in york, there were loads of charge points, it was really good. so, my advice would be, before you leave the cities, make sure you have a full charge on your battery as you head out into the countryside. this beautiful landscape is getting more popular all the time, especially among people who would have gone abroad until the pandemic. in fact, the park authority estimates that in the first three months of lockdown, 70% of visitors had never been here before. somewhere around here should be the mountain rescue team who are keeping all the newbies like myself safe. i can see some dogs in this direction. dog barks. mountain rescue search dogs turns 50 this year. the teams are made up of volunteers who help search for walkers and climbers who get lost or injured. dog barks. who have we got here?

this is gus. hello, gus. search dog gus. hey, search dog gus, how are you? he's excited. how long has gus been doing this for? actually, gus has been training for four years, and because of covid has onlyjust, what we call graded. he has onlyjust become operational. so, i can only use him for real in the last three week. the last three weeks! so, he's a newbie. he is a newbie. well done, gus, well done. how do they work and how do you train them? basically, they're playing hide and seek. they work for a toy. and when we're training, we call them dogsbodies, where people who go out and hide and have the toy, and the dog is literally hunting for its toy. the scent is the important thing. yeah, they are air scenting. we all give off a scent, and the scent is picked up by the wind, and we use the wind

and we run the dog and its nose through the wind, and when it picks up a human scent, it will follow that to the person and come back and tell us by barking and then take us back to the person missing. the team has kindly agreed to show me how it all works, and they tell me in the nicest possible way to get lost. so, we're going to send you out... you've got all serious here, dave, all serious. i'm worried now. we're going to take you out up that hill with two other bodies who are dave and simon over your shoulder. here we go. and we're going to send the dogs to find you. how long have you given us? we will give you half—an—hour's start. half—an—hour start! look at that over there! let's go. wait for me! looks like a little bit of a cave behind you. i've got you. i need a shove up.

made that look easy. perfect. all right, i've schlepped up to this little spot, found a hiding place. i'll try and camouflage myself amongst these rocks. dog barks. there he is. the dog. he hasn't seen me yet. laughter. here he comes. here he comes! yeah. he's coming over towards me. hello, hello, i've been found! i've been found! well done.

oh, yes! you ready? go! that's a reward. that was good. that ok for you? yeah, really good. well done. what a brilliant job. found me! yeah, she found you in a very quick space of time. a lot of people won't be able to go abroad now, so more people will be hiking around the dales and around the uk, so will that bring added problems for you, do you think? yeah, to a certain extent, people with little or no knowledge of what they're doing, let's get out onto the open fell and have a walk in trainers or flip flops... no, you won't get people out... yeah, seriously. two years ago, kaz had a find in the middle of the night on the moors for a chap wearing flip—flops. yep. have you got any tips yourself that we can give to the viewers if they're going out on a trek round the dales?

tell someone where you're going, pack the right kit, have the right footwear, and have a good idea of what you're going to visit. look at a map, read a guidebook, find out what's out there to locate, to have a look around. it's important to enjoy yourself in safety. my final stop in the dales is more than 1,200 feet above sea level. but nevertheless, 300 million years ago this entire area was covered by a shallow sea, which means the limestone beneath me is riddled with all kinds of interesting things. stump cross caverns is a popular and long—standing family attraction here. from this point, you descend into tunnels and chambers discovered by lead miners about 160 years ago. but there's one issue with exploring caves — it's not all that accessible. bloody hell.

blooming helmet. don't worry. i'll stay down. as soon as you get through here, you'll be all right. that's the hardest bit. lisa, tell me about these caves. so, the caves are older than the dinosaurs, and they used to be near the equator, near africa, and it was a warm, tropical, shallow sea. so, the limestone is made up of all the dead sea plants, and we have found loads of animals here as well, ice age animals, so there's a wolverine, reindeer, bison, woolly mammoth. the work lisa has put into trying to keep this place open is astonishing. first, she raffled off her prized camper van. we had a beautiful camper van that was absolutely stunning, and my life dream. and so, we actually raised money and we gave my camper van away...

you gave your camper van away! this is like your dream camper van. yeah. and now, she's raffling off her own flat. if you hadn't been able to raise money by selling your camper van or crowdfunding for your flat, what would have happened? we would have shut. desperate times. however, there is light at the end of the tunnel. today, lisa will finally reopen her doors to paying customers. there are just a few minutes to go until the big moment. fantastic. step back and soak that in. look at it. yes. we made it! we are open! ready, lisa — let me count you down. absolutely! five, four, three, two, one — yes! we're open! first visitors.

look at this. come on in. you must be marie. lam. and two people for the caves? yes, please. fantastic, if you want to come over to drjohn, and he will give you a briefing. thank you so much and have a fabulous time. it's just such a relief. we just want to keep this place going and our wonderful team, also be here for the people. it's the people who saved us. and we want to be here for them. so, it'sjust overwhelming, really. well done! i would give you a hug but we're now allowed to. elbow, there you go. there you go. two elbows. you know what? i think i'll leave her to it right now. she has a busy old time ahead. i'm so pleased for her — what a relief, she has had her first visitors. but you know what has really blown me away is lisa's resilience and her positivity. and what i've noticed throughout my time up here, to coin a cliche, is that true

yorkshire grit and community spirit which has helped them get through some pretty dark days. fair play to them. the next leg of ourjourney across the uk sees lucy in the van exploring the cities, mountains, and countryside of wales, making new friends and hurtling herself off cliff edges along the way.

good evening. it may be the summer solstice tomorrow, but, as you're already aware, our weather has taken a turn for the cooler — and that continues into the start of next week, with temperatures returning to average later on. lots of rain again across some southern areas, turning dry here before more in the way of showery rain pushes down from the north later in the week. wet weather for southern parts during the next 2a hours coming courtesy of the same area of low pressure that's been stuck there, bringing another batch of weather fronts our way. weather fronts across parts of scotland continue to produce some showers into the night and into the morning. either side of those two areas, though, we will see clearer skies, and it's here where temperatures certainly in rural areas will fall down into single figures, making for a rather cool start to the summer solstice — that begins, of course, in shetland, sunrise here at 3:38am, around just short of 19 hours of daylight through monday. whereas we've got around 16—and—three—quarter hours

at saint hellyer in the south where the sun gets up just after 5am. and it's here where overnight rain clears, but it turns wetter and wetter through the morning across southern counties of england. rain fringing into the south and east midlands, east anglia through the afternoon. just how far north that gets is a bit of a question. to the west of that, should be dry and bright through much of wales, good parts of northern england, though clouding over for the north with a few showers. a better afternoon for scotland and northern ireland, with some long, sunny spells. a chilly northeasterly breeze will limit the temperature rise down to where we really want at this time of year — though west wales and merseyside getting up to around 20 celsius later. now that rain will continue to be lighter and patchier to the end of the day towards the south and east, stopping temperatures from falling here as we go through monday night into tuesday morning. but further north, it will be chilly start to tuesday — following the summer solstice, we could even see an outside chance of a touch of frost through the grampians. that's because we've got an area of high pressure building in all the way from the azores, but unlike the azores we saw last week, it's to the north of us, so dragging in the air

from a more northerly direction. so, it will be a rather cool day. best of the sunshine in the morning, cloud and patchy rain clearing away from the channel islands. some cloud will build up and spread out into the afternoon, but most will have a dry day before rain arrives in the hebrides later. temperatures up a little bit on monday's values. another cool night will follow as we go through then into wednesday — but wednesday, whilst england and wales will have the best of the driest and brightest weather, more cloud spills into scotland, northern ireland, a little bit of patchy rain and, through the rest of the week, that will sink its way south. bye for now.

this is bbc news with the latest headlines for viewers in the uk and around the world. talks aimed at reviving the iran nuclear deal have been adjourned in vienna, with indications that a deal may be close, but it's not there yet. israel's new prime minister says that world powers should not negotiate with iran, after the election of hardliner ebrahim raisi as president. rais's's selection is the last chance, i would say, for the world parrot to wake up before returning to the nuclear for the world powers to wake up before returning to the nuclear agreement and realise how they are doing business with. agreement and realise who they are doing business with. here in the uk, a senior scientist suggests that people who've had both their covid jabs, might eventually be able to travel without quarantining. welcome to the olympic village in tokyo, but with shared
