hello this is bbc news with luxmy gopal. the headlines... president biden arrives in new york as america marks 20 years since 9/11. he calls for the country to come together. at her most vulnerable in the push in pull of all that makes us human, in pull of all that makes us human, in the battle for the soul of america unity is what keeps us grounded. memorial events for the british victims are taking place in london, with the uk prime minister borisjohnson insisting people refuse to live "in permanent fear" of the terrorists. we can now say with the perspective of 20 years they failed to shake our belief in freedom and democracy. they failed to dry our nations apart. —— driver nations apart. in other news, lawyers for the woman who's accused prince andrew of sexual abuse,

claim they've successfully served him with legal papers. now on bbc news, the travel show. this week on the show... upside down in nairobi. the city of love's freewheeling new ideas. and treading carefully in georgia's abandoned spaces.

kenya, it's a country bursting with natural beauty, the wildlife here is world beating, the bush is unspoiled and pristine, and sunsets will take your breath away. it's a bit different in the capital, but hidden in this maze of dusty backstreets, there is something truly special. welcome to the mighty jambo circus academy.

these are kenya's best—known acrobats. in normal times, they would be off touring the world. thanks to the pandemic, they have been stuck in nairobi for a year and a half. this is probably the most action i have ever seen happening per square metre in my entire life. it's incredible. in years gone by, the performers here, from tumblers to contortionists, have travelled across the planet showing off their incredible skills. in 2020 though, thanks to the pandemic, they only had one booking. this year, they've got nothing, no money coming in whatsoever. the first time we had the booking of the

—— to close down the school, people were confused, not knowing when they would come back. the senior acrobats have their own businesses but the young ones, the young generation, the ones that are starting, they have to keep on training but not knowing when. that must be frustrating. everything is just shut. i bet that is a loss of income for the academy? it is bad for the academy and for the individuals because they depend on this. everybody, the seniors, theirfamilies depend on acrobatics, and when they tell us not to come together for practising, something like that, it's so difficult for us. matthias invites me for an early morning run to show me how they have been keeping in shape without a show to work towards, and it starts at 5:30am, every single day.

a whole country of good runners, yeah? i'd rather be an acrobat. it must be frustrating for you. really frustrating, not knowing when this thing will be over. so many restrictions, so that will be very confusing, not knowing when i can try to live a life. do you think it affects their motivation? it affects their motivation, but these people are really determined to make their life count. they train for the new job, but the problem is they don't get an income for that. i wave the runners on the way, bouncing up the road, and i think about how much positive

energy they are carrying with them. but if the destruction carries on for much longer, the biggest impact could be on their outreach work. mightyjumbo runs a number of programmes to help kids mightyjambo runs a number of programmes to help kids in nairobi, not least with acro—education services, which pays for children's schooling. it's a precious resource in a country that has a problem with high unemployment and with poverty. why do you like coming to the school here? do you think you are learning a lot here? no rope necessary, that's amazing! any advice you can give me that you learned here?

nice! since the time they have come here, i have seen a big difference, they have a lot more confidence and they are willing to do better. i am very proud because the time they are here, i know they are under care. i know they are in a safe place when i go to myjob, so i am very grateful for this place. and good luck to mighty

jambo for the second half of this year. i've got everything crossed that bookings start to roll in again soon. ok, here is our pick of some of the best things to see and do around the world in the next few weeks. london's chelsea flower show is happening in september this year, for the first time in its history. the organisers claim it's the world's most prestigious horticultural event, and it usually fills with the colours of spring and summer. the change in season was forced by the pandemic, and it could mean a much more autumnal feel than usual. in recent years, nuit blanche, or white night, has become an autumn fixture on the arts calendar of paris. it's a citywide celebration of the city, a

celebration that goes on from 7pm to 7am on october 2nd. public transport stays open all night to help you see as much as possible. this year it's themed around the outdoors, for obvious reasons. hundreds of museums across the us throw open their doors forfree on september 18 as the annual smithsonian magazine museum day returns. it's not only museums — zoos, and cultural centres across all 50 states are included as well. you need to sign up online, and crucially, only us citizens can book tickets. china's midautumn festival begins on the 19th of september. it's got a history dating back 3000 years when the emperors worshipped the moon for a bountiful harvest. adherents believe the moon is at its brightest during the festival. a great place to see it is beijing's beihai park. the crowds heading there like to take a moonlight cruise on the lake with locally bought

moon cake, and with tea. still to come on the travel show... the big ideas that could clean up paris. and the former asylum exciting america's urban explorers — so don't go away! our next port of call this week finds us in france, which has used lockdown to think again about how its people work, play, and travel in their capital city. it has enacted sweeping car bans, paving the way for more of the same across europe, as we have been finding out.

next up, we're crossing to the us and the city of milledgeville in georgia, which used to be home to one of the biggest psychiatric hospitals in the world. in recent times, the half—abandoned site has become a honeypot for urban explorers. william lee roberts, who is from the state, has been to take a look. sprawling, overbearing and derelict, these 200 buildings once made up one of the largest and most notorious state—run psychiatric hospitals in the world. based in milledgeville, a small town less than 100 miles from atlanta, the central state hospital's dark legacy is infamous with local residents. founded in the 19th century as the georgia state lunatic, idiot and epileptic asylum, a lack of funding and a primitive approach to mental health led to brutal treatments and, at times,

deteriorating conditions. it's strange but when i was a little kid and i was misbehaving, my father would threaten me by saying "i'm gonna send you down to milledgeville" and i would shut up. but to be here voluntarily all these years later, it feels a little wrong. a small section of the hospital is still in operation. there are still patients here at central state hospital — over 300 of them — and it's important to remember that this is still an active hospital. it's very disrespectful to them and to their treatment to try to come out here and either break into the buildings or quote unquote "hunt for ghosts". beyond the working hospital, most of the estate is now in disrepair and in recent years, dark tourism has attracted an influx of urban explorers keen to record milledgeville�*s sinister legacy. but structural damage and reports of decades—old asbestos mean that the interiors of most of the buildings are

officially off—limits. roofs have caved in, windows have been boarded up and staircases have collapsed. but perhaps more powerful than the actual buildings are the thousands of graves of former patients — a chilling reminder that many people entered milledgeville but never left. so when you look at the stakes here, they all do have numbers on them and it's sort of a misnomer that we don't know who they all are. we do know every person is who's buried here — the numbers were for privacy purposes. many locals have relatives who either worked at the hospital or were admitted there. for some, not enough is being done to honour their memory. i feel sorry for my great—grandmother — she was in the building right there. if i can't relive and memorialise her and what she did here, at least you could memorialise where she stayed and the hospital that she spent

her entire life in. over the years, racism, sexism and what is now viewed as a rudimentary, if not brutal, approach to treating patients with mental health issues meant that by the 1960s, the hospital's population had swollen to over 12,000 patients. so my great—grandfather sent his wife, betty stubbs, to central state, and i'm of the opinion that she had post—partum syndrome and had to live here for almost 30 years, either pretending that she was not normal so that she could cope, orjust living in a fog. 1899. 1904. these are the original trustee reports. 1950, there were 10,000 patients here. sadly, a lack of staff and resources meant conditions declined rapidly and the asylum

became notorious for its mistreatment of those admitted. so this was for a lobotomy — doctor fisher's lobotomy picks. they went into the eye — orbital socket of the eye and deadened the front part of the brain. but it was real brutal, it really — i think it hurt more than it helped. we've come a long way since then and kari hopes a new museum will remind people how different our approach to mental health is today. with fields like psychiatry and psychology, as we learn more, we know more, we can do more. as we start to understand the brain chemistry and sort of the human anatomy, we can better help people and help them live successfully, so it's important to remember the history of where we came from and how we've continued to grow as a society and in the medical profession. local authorities now run a tour for those curious about the hospital's dark past.

central state hospital is georgia's oldest and largest state psychiatric hospital. i think our tourfills a gap for local residents in milledgeville because the hospital has been something that has been here for a long, long time. i find that people often have a sense in their own mind of what they think it was like but when they come, it's an opportunity for them to really learn about the size, the scope and the humanity involved in the hospital campus. well, i think history is important because if you don't know where you came from, you're not going to know where you go in the future, and it's extremely important for the people who worked here, for the family members that were patients here and for researchers in the future to know what went on here. the people i've met today have driven home the importance of remembering the patients who lived here and the thousands who died. acknowledging them and what happened is uncomfortable but to me, it feels like the right thing to do.

well, that's all for this week but coming up next week — we're in argentina, exploring a haunting city submerged beneath a lake for 30 years that's now slowly re—emerging into the sunshine. imagine living in these houses and all of a sudden, the water is slowly starting to creep up. ten metres! this place is wild! and remember, you canjoin our adventures by following us on social media — we are on all the regular platforms. and we've got quite a library of inspirational content to inspire you when we can all travel again. from me, mike corey, and the rest of the travel show team here in kenya, it's goodbye.

hello there. for many of you, after a pretty cloudy start to the day the weather is going to cheer up later on with some sunny spells breaking through. and we've already seen some sunshine early today around north—east england quite widely but to the north of this, northern scotland, it's a different story. extensive cloud here, some mist and fog patches and rain. now, that rain is due to an area of low pressure. the worst of the rain has cleared through the central belt, should be dry here, really, through the rest of the afternoon but it has stayed quite wet across parts of northern scotland, especially north highland and probably orkney as well. along with that rain it will continue to be quite murky as well with some mist and fog patches around the coasts and hills. to the south, england, wales, the cloud breaking, sunny spells coming through. there will often be quite a bit of cloud, mind you. temperatures reaching a high of 23

degrees today and for many of you it will continue to feel a little on the humid side. overnight tonight our weatherfront for northern scotland changes its mind and starts moving back southwards so the rain returns to eastern areas of scotland. quite light and patchy rain eventually reaching north—east england by the end of the night. elsewhere a lot of cloud, a few mist and fog patches developing and the odd patch of rain and drizzle over the hills and coasts of wales and probably around the peaks and pennines as well. here's the chart for sunday. pressure is building behind this weather front. we start to get these northerly winds feeding in. it will turn cooler and fresher across the northern half of the uk. now, we'll have some of this light and patchy rain first thing, eastern scotland, north—east england. otherwise it's a largely dry start to the day save for an odd spit of drizzle falling from the cloud sheet. later on, though, we'll see some thick cloud working on two wales and that will be bringing more persistent rain. dry across northern areas, temperatures 13 and aberdeen, 15 for newcastle and still quite humid across the far south where

temperatures will continue to run into the low 20s in the warmer spots. now, for monday, our area of high pressure is with us and our weak weather front still with us as well. now, this rain is most likely to be affecting parts of wales and perhaps the midlands. eastern england probably staying dry with breaks in the cloud and some sunny spells but the best of the dry weather and sunshine will be across scotland, northern ireland and the far north of england as well. temperatures for the most part temperatures for the most part into the high teens. the warmest spots, given some breaks, could reach the low 20s. that's your weather. into the high teens.

as america marks 20 years since 9/11, he calls for the country to come together. at our most vulnerable, in the push and pull of makes us human, in the battle for the soul of america, unity is our greatest strength. memorial events for the british victims are taking place in london, with the uk prime minister borisjohnson insisting people refuse to live "in permanent fear" of the terrorists. we can now say with the perspective of 20 years that they failed to
