this is bbc news, the headlines: rescue teams in germany, belgium and the netherlands are searching for hundreds of people still missing after some of the worst flooding in western europe in decades. record rainfall caused rivers to burst their banks. more than 120 people lost their lives. president biden�*s accused social media networks like facebook of killing people by allowing users to post misinformation about coronavirus vaccines. with cases rising 70% in the past week, he warned of a pandemic of the unvaccinated. facebook hit back saying two billion people accessed authoritative vaccine information on its site. the president of south africa says the deadly unrest of the past week was a deliberate and well—planned attack on democracy. cyril ramaphosa also acknowledged that the authorities had been unprepared and slow to deal with the crisis.

now on bbc news, the travel show. you've got to love it! proper british coastline! we are 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. did you see that? our journey that? ourjourney will take that? our journey will take us that? ourjourney will take us to the four nations that make up the united kingdom. and with an eye on our carbon footprint... we are in an all electric revamp of an iconic british motor. on this week's show, krista goes behind the wheel in northern ireland. ~ , , ., . ., ., ireland. where my search for a

5:33 am
plus, after the last year and a half, this seems like a good way to get away from it all. ken found during the first lockdown that lots more people were getting in touch to take to the skies. ken's microlight business is one of thousands here to have had to cope with the ups and downs of the pandemic.
5:34 am
my my journey will take me myjourney will take me over 100 miles up the coast to finish at one of this country's iconic natural wonders — giants causeway. and it all starts by leaving petrol power behind and switching to the travel show electric van for an early—morning visit to kellogg bay in county down. check that out, smooth! too early for the hotel breakfast this morning. the idea is i have breakfast at this place i am going, which i suspect to most people would be a great delight, a real delicacy. but for some other people, myself included, it is
5:35 am
a bit more of a daunting prospect. we'll see how we go. this is one of a number of bays along the coast here that, over the years, have become renowned for a local delicacy. brother and sister luke and parin have been farming them by the thousands. hello. i have found the right place. are those oyster beds?— the right place. are those oyster beds? yes. fantastic. do we no oyster beds? yes. fantastic. do we go out _ oyster beds? yes. fantastic. do we go out on — oyster beds? yes. fantastic. do we go out on the _ oyster beds? yes fantastic. do we go out on the track? oyster beds? yes. fantastic. do we go out on the track? yes. i we go out on the track? yes. let's do _ we go out on the track? yes. let's do it- — we go out on the track? yes. let's do it. do _ we go out on the track? yes. let's do it. do we _ we go out on the track? yes. let's do it. do we just - we go out on the track? yes. let's do it. do we justjump i let's do it. do wejustjump on? let's do it. do we 'ust “ump on? . . let's do it. do we 'ust “ump on? , , ., let's do it. do we “ustjump on?�* let-s i let's do it. do we “ustjump on?�* let-s do i let's do it. do we “ustjump i on?�* let's do it. along the coast of northern ireland, inlets of the sea like kergg ireland, inlets of the sea like kellogg bay have developed as an ideal place to farm oysters. they say each bay with its distinct conditions give the

oysters slightly different flavours. look and parin�*s family oyster business has 700 bags of oysters out in this day. each gross for around three years before it is considered for market and lots of care goes into making them taste their best.— of care goes into making them taste their best. these are the bi ones taste their best. these are the big ones to — taste their best. these are the big ones to go _ taste their best. these are the big ones to go to _ taste their best. these are the big ones to go to markets - taste their best. these are the big ones to go to markets and| big ones to go to markets and restaurants and such. every three or four weeks we turn them because there is growth in them. i will show you all this white and purple, that is all new growth. that breaks off. we turn the bags to break that off, which turns the oysters harder and makes the shell is nice and round. you pick the bag up and turn it on its side. then you let it go and back up again. otherway, hit it then you let it go and back up again. other way, hit it and back over. if they are on the seabed they would just roll, the shells would keep going down and make them round and harder. that is what we want to

5:40 am
have been offering walking tours of these modern murals and during covid offered a digital walking tourfor and during covid offered a digital walking tour for people to do digitally. i've been really lucky doing street art tours in cities around the world but there is something special about a street art tour in belfast. it's notjust the beauty, it's the culture and history of this place. the best thing is even during a lockdown in the middle of a pandemic, you can grab the app, head out into the fresh air and safely see these works of art — pretty incredible! but i am really here for more traditional arts. the grand opera house is the only remaining victoria theatre in northern ireland, currently celebrating 125 years, it was saved from demolition in the 70s, bond in the 90s and now it
5:41 am
has been through a year—long restoration attempt right in the middle of a pandemic. it has not yet reopened to the public during my visit but i'm getting an early preview as it gets its finishing touches. inside it has been faithfully restored, bringing things like the ornate ceiling paintings back to their former glory. what condition where they in when you came in? where they very dirty?— very dirty? you could not pick u . very dirty? you could not pick u- the very dirty? you could not pick up the figurative _ very dirty? you could not pick up the figurative details i very dirty? you could not pick up the figurative details and l up the figurative details and the varnish deteriorated significantly, so they were brown and yellow.- significantly, so they were brown and yellow. how did you aet u- brown and yellow. how did you get no and _ brown and yellow. how did you get no and do _ brown and yellow. how did you get up and do it, _ brown and yellow. how did you get up and do it, i'm _ brown and yellow. how did you get up and do it, i'm imagining michelangelo on his back. we have an michelangelo on his back. - have an amazing birdcage scaffolding, all on one level. we are working above our heads and moving around accordingly. you do exercises to try to watch your next and heads, certain ballerina exercises — stretching your head. people always say michelangelo, do you work on your back for the

5:43 am
such a nice idea, owning a castle, but they cost an absolute fortune to run. and for glenelm castle, first built in the 17th—century, the impact of the troubles on tourism meant relying on deserters for lots of income would have been a risky strategy until recently. so during the pandemic, when tourism was at an all—time low, they decided to take a leap and invest in tourism for the future. it was all about _ tourism for the future. it was all about long-term - tourism for the future. it was all about long-term survival. j all about long—term survival. we took a look how we could reinvent ourselves to come out again when this would be over. we knew the public perception would have changed and the outdoor space was going to be more valuable moving forward, and so we concentrated our efforts on outdoor space and activities. in efforts on outdoor space and activities-— activities. in addition to the aardens activities. in addition to the gardens on _ activities. in addition to the gardens on the _ activities. in addition to the gardens on the grounds, i activities. in addition to the l gardens on the grounds, they were already getting visitors,

adrian added glamping pods and electric bikes to explore the wider area, electric bikes to explore the widerarea, including electric bikes to explore the wider area, including forests on the outskirts of the grounds. this area, which has barely changed in 400 years, has been recognised for its biodiversity. this makes me feel like i am really fit. i will never cycle without it. for adrian it is a very special place. so you've been around for a while? i place. so you've been around for a while?— for a while? i grew up. my father was _ for a while? i grew up. my father was a _ for a while? i grew up. my father was a chauffeur i for a while? i grew up. my father was a chauffeur for| for a while? i grew up. my i father was a chauffeur for the family, started work in 1960. when i was a small boy of four i was intrigued by where he was going. i would i was intrigued by where he was going. iwould hide i was intrigued by where he was going. i would hide underneath a code in his we van and halfway to work i would pop up and say surprise, i am coming to work with you. i completely fell in love with it and decided i wanted to spend the rest of my life here. one of my

5:47 am
non—essential access to the island, and only recently opened up again to tourists. so far it has helped keep the island covid free, and we have done two lateral flow tests for coming over to try and keep it that way. one of the main drills for tourists is the chance to get close to puffins and other rarely seen birds. —— main draws. i am waiting for my guide liam, warden of the island. he has lived here all of his life and has promised me a glimpse of the birds. the man himself. hello!— himself. hello! hello, you must be christo! _ himself. hello! hello, you must be christo! did _ himself. hello! hello, you must be christo! did my _ himself. hello! hello, you must be christo! did my big - himself. hello! hello, you must be christo! did my big blue i himself. hello! hello, you must be christo! did my big blue bus| be christo! did my big blue bus rive it be christo! did my big blue bus give it away? — be christo! did my big blue bus give it away? would _ be christo! did my big blue bus give it away? would you i be christo! did my big blue bus give it away? would you like i be christo! did my big blue bus give it away? would you like toj give it away? would you like to see the puffins? _ give it away? would you like to see the puffins? that - give it away? would you like to see the puffins? that would i give it away? would you like to see the puffins? that would bej see the puffins? that would be lovely can _ see the puffins? that would be lovely can i _ see the puffins? that would be lovely can i follow _ see the puffins? that would be lovely can i follow you? i see the puffins? that would be lovely can i follow you? yes, i lovely can i follow you? yes, follow me — lovely can i follow you? yes, follow me up _ lovely can i follow you? yes, follow me up to _ lovely can i follow you? yes, follow me up to the - lovely can i follow you? yes, follow me up to the seabed i follow me up to the seabed centre. ,, , ., ' centre. see you there. puffin bus usually _ centre. see you there. puffin bus usually most _ centre. see you there. puffin bus usually most visitors i centre. see you there. puffin bus usually most visitors upl centre. see you there. puffin i bus usually most visitors up to the side, but we have perpetual

5:52 am
tourist site in northern ireland, about a million people came in 2019. but with changes to visitor numbers during the pandemic the national trust have said this is a once in a generation chance to change how they manage their tourism approach to avoid what they call the pitfalls of over tourism. they have begun spreading visitors out more throughout the day, to help make a more positive impact on the local area. it's natural hexagonal columns stretching out to the sea are actually formed because of the way laver slowly called when it was created. but that's not the story that captures most people's imagination. so there was irish giant _ people's imagination. so there was irish giant who _ people's imagination. so there was irish giant who live - people's imagination. so there was irish giant who live here i was irish giant who live here with his wife and children and a scottish giant who lived in the outer hebrides. the two of them got into an argument and eventually they wanted to put into it. but it is a well—known
5:53 am
fact that giants don't like in their feet wet so they started early in the morning and built a causeway out.— early in the morning and built a causeway out. whichever story is true, giant's _ a causeway out. whichever story is true, giant's causeway - a causeway out. whichever story is true, giant's causeway seems | is true, giant's causeway seems sure to keep the visitors coming for a long time yet. and for me, it's where myjourney in northern ireland comes to an end. i've been really struck by the resilience of the people i've met here, and their optimism. they are determined to notjust get through this crisis, but to do better on the other side of it. and i think for uk travellers... the past year has been a good chance for us to take stock and appreciate what we have right here on our doorstep.
5:54 am
hello. a few places got close to 29 degrees on friday, it's likely over the weekend we will get above 30 for the first time this summer. mostly dry with hot sunshine and it is all because of high pressure which is taking up residence right on top of the uk. but notice there is a frontal system to the north, that will provide more cloud, especially across the north—west of scotland. some cloud to start the day across the irish sea coast, england, north wales, quite a lot of cloud for northern ireland and a little bit across the south of england.
5:55 am
that will clear quite quickly but some cloud further north and west will be stubborn, staying quite grey, damp and windy for north west scotland, just 17 degrees for stornaway but in the sunshine in aberdeen, highs of 25. the cloud in northern ireland retreating to the coast, 26 inland through the afternoon, murky for some irish sea coasts of north—west england and north wales, but inland, temperatures in a few places up to 29 or 30 degrees. always cooler around the coasts with sea breezes. at silverstone, for the british grand prix, it looks hot through saturday and more especially for race day on sunday, lots of sunshine. strong sunshine, very high uv levels for many, especially in the south and west of the uk. make sure you protect yourself if you are out and about for any length of time. heading through saturday night, we see long clear spells, especially down towards england and wales, northern ireland and scotland have more cloud, some of that filtering across the irish sea towards north wales and north—west england, a pretty mild and warm night in places, 14,
5:56 am
