the headlines: parts of the united states and canada are seeing a severe heat wave with some of the highest temperatures ever recorded in north america. officials warn that the record breaking heatwave will last all week. only 11 bodies have been recovered and 151 people are still unaccounted for after a residential building partly collapsed in miami last thursday. rescue crews have been using grains, sniffer dogs and infrared scanners to identify any scanners and search for air pockets. and celebrations in switzerland after the swiss knocked france out of the euros in what was a nailbiting penalty shootout. it was the shock of the tournament.

now on bbc news, it's time for the travel show. coming up on this week's show: rajan's washboard recital in new orleans. christa's underwater concert in denmark. that's so cool! woo—hoo! and a bit of bell—thumping in bavaria. 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 30 minutes 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 years. and this week, our choice definitely has a musical note as the team attempts to play a tune or two. so let's kick things off with a trip rajan made to the deep south of america back 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 and a whole crowd following them, 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 a legendary zydeco—playing family. the music, zydeco. tell me about it. zydeco music — a lot of people get mixed up with cajun music, but if you hear zydeco music, you hear more of blues, r&b, soul and rock �*n' roll, mixed into one. this, chubby 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 is my grandmother's washing machine! a washing machine? this was her washing machine back in the day! and you hear the rhythms? the buttons on your shirt would make a little sound, like this, and my grandmother was washing clothes at the time, and of course my daddy goes "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. that's it! yeah? when you hit the board, you lose it. why? i don't know.

the streets are packed and there's a jubilant atmosphere here. # shake it, pretty lady. 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 send this to monday and let �*em now how we do it in new orleans! after my frankly disastrous ten—minute lesson, this happened.

bbc travel here. london, england, y'all! well, i've got to say, rajan didn't do a bad job there — or perhaps the crowd werejust being kind. ok, up next, we're off to denmark — a country that's 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, back in 2018? butjust a word of warning, please don't try this one at a home without a snorkel. ethereal singing.

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 know something about. we have our first in nine months, covered by this water filter. i think they are there, at least on an unconscious level. they'll 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 these humans in the tanks, but also the sound has a loneliness to it. i think it is quite a nice idea. ooh! so, here goes. one deep breath and... well, actually, this is quite nice. amazing! you are doing good! it's really — it's lovely and yeah, this is great! so, if you take this microphone that's hanging and then you hit this bell plate... this one here? yeah. and then you take the microphone and put it towards it. can you hear that effect? amazing. 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 just pull 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 on the top of the... yeah, exactly. and you can use that for the ring over there, with the holes in it. 0h, 0k. banging drums that is so cool! you're making music! woo hoo! applause. it's amazing. you have these hammers that are... when you hit, 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. christa there, getting her 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 the roof at 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 has taken a massive hit during the pandemic. in many places, nightclubs were amongst the first to be forced to shut down

and it looks 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 superclubs in the world. ministry of sound is celebrating 25 years. i can't believe it, �*cause 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. in fact, at one stage it owned the biggest independent record label in the world, selling over 70 million records. hey! 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's also one of its resident djs, so i am in good hands for this dj lesson. you have your volume controls here, your highs, mids and lows, so this is the big bass knob. give it a little bit

of 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, like, 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. ah, 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. three, two three, four, bingo. i'm m ixin 9 ! 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'm in the dj box with gavin mitchell. he's the resident dj and promoter for the gallery, which takes place every friday night at the club. fortunately, it is still early, so the pressure is off a bit and i'm getting the hang of things. by the end of the night, i've got the house rocking! i think all clubs have their nemesis moment where there comes something along that wants to close it. it's usually residents, and it is the balance between a 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, you have to have restaurants, you have to have bars,

you have to have 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 brand new national art centre. the centre has been built to become a fixture on the international performance circuit. so this might look like a big empty warehouse, but we are actually backstage at one of the more intimate auditoriums here. it 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. pipe organ plays this splendid venue can seat over 2,000 people. after rehearsal, organist tony liu kindly offered to show me the pride of the concert hall. wow, tony, that was amazing. yeah, thank you so much. what does it feel like to play such a magnificent instrument? yeah, it's very exciting

because i can make any kind of music in here. and... the high pitch here. ooh! like birds. and the very, very low, we do have very, very low pipes. 0h. you can hear the entire house vibrating. how co—ordinated do you need to be? how many keyboards are there here, there are five keyboards, and 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 also 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? 0k.. i haven't played in 20 years!

try. plays heart and soul thank you, tony! you're welcome! you're such a good sport to humour me! carmen roberts, accepting bookings to play to packed concert halls all around the world as soon as travel kicks back in. well, maybe after a bit more practice. 0k! so, to finish off this week we're off to germany, where, back in 2016, rajan headed to bavaria

to learn how to play one of the strangest musical instruments i've ever seen. now, if you're thinking about taking this one up, i'd highly recommend some earplugs and kneepads. you'll 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. hans, hello. hello! hans is one of the organisers. these other famous bells have heard about. tonight, hundreds of local people will form teams of bell—ringers, and i'm joining in too, a rare privilege for a non—bavarian. first, i need the right outfit. and what is the point of these twigs?

good? i look like a christmas tree. the headgear pales into insignificance once i realise i'll be lugging this 20kg bell around. so heavy, it's ridiculous! ok, so i'm 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? 0h! so you two are also

taking part this year? yep. fantastic. how big a night is this for you? i think it's the biggest night of the year, something like this. yeah, nowhere else is something like this, and so, yeah, we're very proud of it, and we also want to take part of it. have you ever thought about wearing earplugs? yes, i have them! you have them! you have to. it's impossible without them. 0k. all ok. all right. i'll bear that in mind, that's really good advice. banging on bells ijoin the rest of the team as we head towards the town centre. nothing could have prepared me for the incredible din that's generated heaving these enormous bells around. i'm trying not to use my knees but it's almost impossible. they feel battered and bruised already.

we're 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's some new form of exercise routine just waiting to be invented, because it looks like a total workout carrying those bells strapped to your waist, let alone playing them. well, 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 to recovery trip across the uk. i'll be in wales, exploring

cardiff and beyond, and finding out how this furry 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 can all 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. best place for the drier and sunnier weather during the first part of this week certainly in scotland and northern ireland. over the blue skies out in the highlands on monday, temperatures lift to a very pleasant 25 celsius.

and we will see similar sorts of temperatures in southern scotland on tuesday. england and wales, though, it has been a different story. lots more cloud. and into tuesday, the same area of low pressure that brought the cloud on monday revolving around. it keeps the temperatures up as we start the day. so, again, mid—teens, quite a humid start, whereas clearer skies into scotland, northern ireland, northern england. single—figure temperatures to start the day. but here, some sunny spells, but a few changes. bit more cloud to the north and the west of scotland, later into northern ireland, drifting in. a damp start for parts of northwest england, wales and the southwest, but brightening up here to sunny spells. but through the midlands, east anglia and other southern counties of england, the cloud will be there, always the threat of some showers, maybe the odd heavy and thundery one, and cooler to east anglia and the southeast in recent days. cumbria and across parts of western scotland, 211—25 celsius possible. so, for wimbledon on tuesday, it will be cooler.

there will be plenty of cloud, but i can't promise it will stay dry. we're likely to see showers develop in the nearby areas, which could come along. same, too, at wembley. always the chance of some outbreaks of rain as we head into the evening for england's match against germany. and where the showers do form, there is still the chance of the odd rumble of thunder. showers continue into tuesday night across parts of the southeast in particular, as well as east anglia. more of a breeze down those eastern coasts, feeding lots of low cloud in further and further westwards. temperatures for most, though, in double figures. not as chilly a night for scotland and northern ireland. but on wednesday, we will have a lot more low cloud around to the north and the east of the country, so a bit of a grey day. still the chance of some rain across east anglia and the south—east, but for many, it will be dry. sunshine will develop more widely towards the west, but because of that cloudier start, it will feel a bit cooler across parts of scotland and northwest england. then, as we go through wednesday into thursday, our area of low pressure starts to pull away, but it mayjust be close enough to throw in some influence still towards east anglia and the southeast for thursday. high pressure in the north and the west. a lot more sunshine

once again more widely. but eastern counties of england, that cloud, a bit of a breeze, and for east anglia and the southeast, there could be still the chance of a few showers. temperatures at their highest in western areas, at around 21—24 celsius. and then through the rest of the week, it looks like by the weekend, showers will develop more widely. see you soon.

hello and welcome to bbc news. our top stories: hotter than ever. canada hits record temperatures as america's north—west swelters in a dangerous heatwave. climate change is real. our temperatures have warmed here, especially summer nighttime temperatures, and so that has kind of raised the baseline and made this heat event that much more severe. 11 people are now confirmed dead in the miami building collapse with more than 150 still missing. the united states says it has carried out air strikes against iranian backed militias in iraq and syria in retaliation for drone attacks on us

personnel and facilities in iraqi. it's a win—win for facebook as a court
