a very good sunday morning to you. time now for a story about british visitors to france being ordered to quarantine on arrival — but this one has nothing to do with the pandemic. the visitors in question are racing pigeons, and their owners say they're being caught up in red tape created by brexit. liz roberts has more. this is the main wasting love. mick mcgrevy has been keeping racing pigeon since he was 12 years old and they get around. the pigeons need to fly in international races. barcelona is 852 miles. international races. barcelona is 852 miles-_ international races. barcelona is 852 miles-— is 852 miles. and it is a big art of is 852 miles. and it is a big part of his _ is 852 miles. and it is a big part of his life. _ is 852 miles. and it is a big part of his life. it _ is 852 miles. and it is a big part of his life. it would - part of his life. it would probably _ part of his life. it would probably be _ part of his life. it would probably be about - part of his life. it would probably be about 12 i part of his life. it would - probably be about 12 weekends, some of those weekends we would have two races on, maybe three. we would have a club race out of france, a nationalflight out of france, british international racing club race out of france. this is the be all and end all, as far as i'm

hello, and welcome to the show. now, if you're still dreaming of packing a suitcase and heading off on your travels, although you probably can't do thatjust yet, stay with us for the next half—hour and hopefully we'll give you some inspiration as we take a look back at some of our favourite films and destinations here on the show from the past few yea rs. and this week, our choice definitely has a musical note, as the team attempts to play a tune or two.

let's kick things off with a trip rajan made to the deep south of america in 2016. now, he was there to learn about a style of music called zydeco, but little did he know that he'd end up performing in front of thousands before the day was over. so, let's take a look at how he got on. that is new orleans, exactly how i imagined it. a brass band going down the street a the whole crowd following and getting into the vibe. fantastic. now, the city might be best known for jazz, but you can also find a type of music here that i've never encountered before. chubby carrier is a grammy award winner and a third—generation

of legendary zydeco—playing family. the music, zydeco. tell me about it? zydeco, a lot of people get mixed up with cajun music, but if you hear zydeco, you hear more of blues, r&b, soul and rock n' roll, mixed into one. this, he says, is the expression of louisiana's black creole community. that's a bit of african, a bit of french and some caribbean all mixed up. and apart from the accordion, chubby says the essential instrument in the zydeco sound is the one that evolved from his grandmother's washboard. this was my grandmother's washing machine! a washing machine? this was a washing machine back in the day. and you hear the rhythms? the buttons on your shirt would make a sound like that, and my grandmother was washing clothes at the time, and thought, hey,

that sounds good! it might fit with the accordion. bring it over here. she said, you must be out of your mind. this is how i do my laundry. you should try it, man, yeah. yes, yes, yes. look at that. it's our percussion in zydeco. you have the rhythm going like this, man, that's it! that's it! yeah? when you hit the board, you lose it. why? i don't know. laughter. the streets are packed and there is a jubilant atmosphere here. i feel lucky to have a ringside view. because when we point that camera to ya, i want you to shaking your booty like your mama gave

it to you. cheering. we're going to bring this to monday and let �*em now how we do it in new orleans! yeah! and then, after my frankly disastrous ten—minute lesson, this happened. yeah! bbc travel here. well, i've got to say,

rajan didn't do a bad job there, or perhaps the crowd werejust being kind. laughter. next, we're off to denmark, a country famous for its annual roskilde music festival, where over 100 bands usually take to the stage every year. now, unfortunately, the festival has been cancelled this year due to the pandemic. but, to keep you going, why not submerge yourself in this film from denmark with christa, filmed back in 2018. just a word of warning: please don't try this one at a home, without a snorkel! this is the group between music. their latest show is the first in a 4—part series called aquasonic, which aims to explore who we are human beings. and it begins with our time in the womb.

we are so often divided between you and me, them and us, different religions, different cultures. but here is something that i think we can all get to know something about. we have our first in nine months, covered by this water filter. so i think somehow the audience — they are there, at least on an unconscious level. they will have a flashback to hearing those sounds. so, as performers, how does it feel when you are underwater, performing to an audience? it gets really somehow — someone says a loneliness to it. that there is not only a visual loneliness to see humans in the tanks but also the sound has a loneliness to it. 0h?

so, here goes — one deep breath and... well, actually this is quite nice. amazing. you are doing good. it's warm. this is great. so, if you take this microphone... and then you hit this bell plate. this one here? yeah. and then you take the microphone... 0h! can you hear the effect? then you can sort of play with it. i'm beginning to think i'm a bit of a natural! and then maybe you should put that in the front window. and then you can sort of — if you hit it with the hammer, and then you can, like, close the sound with your hand. another thing, if you take the — there's a small stick.

yeah. exactly. and you can use that for the ring over there. 0h, 0k. that is so cool! you're making music! woo hoo! applause. it's amazing. you have these hammers that you — you hit and you feel it resonate through the whole tank and you feel it in your chest and your whole body. it's amazing. it's a totally different experience than just banging a bell with a hammer. yep! christa there, getting her a avant—garde groove on back in 2018. well, stay with us,

because we've plenty more still to come here on the travel show. i'm m ixin 9 ! including the time ade raised london's ministry of sound nightclub. and rajan's knees took a battering at one of the most bizarre festivals we've ever seen. in germany. well, nightlife around the world have taken a massive hit during the pandemic. in many places, nightclubs were almost the first to be forced to shut down and look like they'll be among the last to finally reopen again. now, if you're missing your clubbing fix, take a look at this. a film from back in 2017 when ade got the chance to learn how to master the decks at one of the most famous clubs in the world. ministry of sound is reaching 25 years. i can't believe it because i came here in the early days. this first started off as a small club in a derelict

garage, and has now become a massive global brand. at one stage it owned the biggest independent record label in the world, selling over 70 million records. ministry of sound was london's first—ever super club, and has survived a number of attempts to shut it down. justin berkmann is one of the founders. he is also one of its resident djs, so i am in good hands for this dj lesson. you have your volume controls here, your high, mid and low, so this is the big bass knob. sibilance, strip it out, bring that down. with the technology today, it gives you much more flexibility to take risks and do things that you couldn't do in the old days with vinyl. so could you put a classic opera track with some hip—hop? yes. beethoven wrote most of his music at 120 bpm, so he was one of

the first house dj. beethoven knew what he was talking about, he dropped beats. he did, a lot of his stuff was dance music. all right, let's do this then. one, two, three, four. bingo. imixing! now time to see if all that training has worked. it's the moment of truth. i tell you what i will say, it is very loud in here. dance music plays i am in the dj box with gavin mitchell, the resident dj and promoter for the gallery, which takes place every friday at the club. fortunately, it is still early, so the pressure is off a bit and i am getting

the hang of things. by the end of the night i have the house rocking! i think all clubs have their nemesis moment where there comes something along that wants to close us. it is usually residents, and it is the balance between city and the fact that it needs some form of entertainment. you can't have one without the other, because a city full of bedrooms is no fun, so you have to have nightclubs, have to have restaurants, you have to have bars and entertainment. ade at the ministry of sound back in 2017. time now for something a little more sedate. back in 2018, carmen headed to taiwan to explore a gigantic new art centre about to reopen, claiming to be the biggest in the world. and in amongst the massive performance and exhibition spaces, she got to fulfil one of my childhood dreams,

playing one of those huge dramatic pipe organs. yeah, i'm pretty jealous of that one. this is the weiwuying, taiwan's new national art centre. the centre has been built to become a fixture of the international performance circuit. this might look like a big empty warehouse, but we are actually backstage at one of the more intimate auditoriums here, that can seat around 1,200 people. the centre will stage its own performances, and host international touring productions. the weiwuying has four main stages, an opera house, a concert hall, a playhouse and a recital hall.

this splendid venue can seat over 2,000 people. after rehearsal, organist tony kindly offered to show me the pride of the concert hall. tony, that was amazing. thank you so much. what does it feel like to play such a magnificent instrument? it is very exciting because i can make any kind of music in here. and... the high pitch here. 0h! like birds. and the very low, we do have the very low pipes. you can hear it all vibrating.

how many keyboards are there here, there are five keyboards, 127 buttons, not to mention all these cords down the bottom. i do have to spend a lot of time to practise. this one is brand—new organ, and i believe it is the biggest one in entire asia's concert hall. wow, the biggest pipe organ in asia. what a privilege to play it. do you want to play it? i haven't played in 20 years. plays heart and soul. thank you tony!

you are such a good sport, to humour me. carmen roberts accepting bookings to play to pack concert halls all around the world as soon as travel kicks back in. well, maybe after a bit more practice. to finish off this week we are off to germany, where, back in 2016, rajan headed to bavaria to learn how to play one of the strangest musical instruments i have ever seen. if you are thinking about taking this one up, i would highly recommend some earplugs and kneepads. you will see what i mean. the festival takes place in the town of rinchnach, and celebrates the ancient custom of herdsmen ringing bells to scare wolves away. hello!

hans is one of the organisers. these other famous bells have heard about. tonight, hundreds of local people will form teams of bellringers, and i am joining into, a rare privilege for a non—bavarian. first, i need the right outfit. and what is the point of these twigs? i look like a christmas tree. the headgear pales into insignificance once i realise i will be lugging this 20kg bell around. so heavy, it's ridiculous!

ok, so i am taking this bell over here and i think this will be the bavarian people doing it as well. did you hear me coming by any chance? so you two are also taking part this year? fantastic. how big a night is this for you? i think it is the biggest night of the year, something like this. nowhere else is something like this, and so yeah, we're very proud of it, and we also want to take part. have you ever thought about wearing earplugs? oh yes i have them! you have them! you have two. it is impossible without them.

i will bear that in mind, that is really good advice. i join the rest of the team as we head towards the town centre. nothing could have prepared me for the incredible in that is generated, heaving this enormous bells around. i am trying not to use my needs but it is almost impossible. they feel battered and bruised already. we are greeted by a huge crowd of tourists and locals. hans' son dominik is the flamboyant leader, rousing the troops, leading the beat...

and conducting the cacophony. luckily for me, after half—an—hour, dominik calls time for a much needed break. wow! that was one of the most physically intensive things i have ever done. amazing. tribal, but great. and i deserve this.

rajan in 2016, and those bells looks just crazy, i'm sure there is some new form of exercise routine just waiting to be invented, because it looks like a total workout carrying those bells are strapped to your waist, let alone playing them. that's it for this week, but do join us next week if you can, when: it's my turn behind the wheel of our travel show van for the next stage in our road recovery trip across the uk. i will be in wales, exploring cardiff and beyond, and finding out how this very rodent is helping the fight against climate change. that's next week, but don't forget to check us out on social media for a whole host of inspirational ideas of things to see and do when we cannot travel again, which hopefully won't be too far away. till next time though, from me, lucy hedges, and everyone else here on the show, it's goodbye.

hello there. the first half of the weekend brought us plenty of dry weather. for many places, the second half of the weekend promises more of the same. but in southern areas, there's quite a big change on the way, blue skies in swanage on saturday afternoon, sunday afternoon will bring grey skies and some outbreaks of rain in the south. courtesy of a very slow moving weather system. you can see this curl of cloud and an area of low pressure that has become marooned just to the northwest of france. it will be throwing this band of rain northwards across the channel islands into southern counties of england through sunday morning, the odd shower running ahead of that into east anglia, the midlands, into parts of wales, more persistent rain

to the south midlands and south of wales later, but all the while northern england and ireland, much of scotland will be dry with sunny spells although thicker cloud could bring the odd spot of rain in the far northwest of scotland. 15 degrees in stornoway, 22 the high in london. some of this rain could turn pretty heavy with the odd rumble of thunder. it will move north overnight into parts of east anglia. maybe even clipping into parts of northern england. northern ireland and scotland stay dry with clear spells and temperatures staying in double digits for most of us. the slow moving weather system will still be with us into monday. that means further outbreaks of rain at times across the south with high—pressure building in further north and that is where we will see the driest of the weather. wet start across parts of wales in the southwest of england. a few more showers developing for southeast england, the midlands and east anglia through the day, maybe one or two into northern england, northern ireland and scotland

should be dry with spells of sunshine, i think we see the highest temperatures across western scotland, 23, maybe 2a degrees. those showers in the south not great news for the start of wimbledon. there could be interruptions to the play on monday and indeed heading into tuesday because our slow moving weather system will still be with us, further pulses of rain across the south of the uk where further north our area of high pressure will keep things drier, sunnier and warmer. we could see temperatures in glasgow on tuesday getting up to 25 degrees, but always the chance for outbreaks of rain further south.

welcome to bbc news. i'm rich preston. our top stories: the uk health secretary, matt hancock, resigns over the publication of pictures showing him kissing a colleague in breach of covid guidance. he'll be replaced by sajid javid. he'd led the government's response to the coronavirus pandemic from the very beginning and says he's let people down. i understand the enormous sacrifices that everybody in this country has made, that you have made, and those of us who make these rules have got to stick by them, and that is why i have got to resign. the mayor of the miami county where an apartment block collapsed has ordered an immediate audit of all

buildings of a similar age — five people have been confirmed
