this is bbc news. the headlines: the french foreign minister has denounced in the strongest terms the new security pact in the pacific. jean—yves le drian accused the united states and australia of lying — and said there was now a serious crisis — following what he called a major breach of trust between them. us officials have been moving thousands of migrants away from a texas border town that has seen a rapid influx of mostly haitian migrants in the last week. the department of of homeland security said 2000 people had been moved to other immigration stations to be processed swiftly. the four space tourists aboard the spacex inspiration—four capsule have splashed down successfully in the atlantic 0cean off the coast of florida. televised pictures showed the space capsule�*s descent and the four parachutes opening, bringing it down in a graceful glide to the water where a recovery vessel was waiting.

dozens of universities have set up pop—up clinics and walk—in centres for students to receive covid vaccines, as the new dozens of universities have set up pop—up clinics and walk—in centres for students to receive covid vaccines, as the new academic year begins. students who are not yet vaccinated, are being urged to getjabs during freshers�* week. megan paterson, has the details.. have you registered with a gp? a new addition to the usual freshers�* week festivities at oxford brookes university. 0.3. pop—up clinics and grab—a—jab drop—ins — allaimed at encouraging as many students as possible to get vaccinated, amid some concern about covid spread in young people. we are aware just before the summer there was quite a high increase in covid infection rates amongst the 18—24 year—olds, so we're really keen to try and sort of capture them just as they're coming back to university, to make sure in the environment they live in — maybe in shared houses — that we minimise the spread and the transmission of covid as much as possible. obviously, we want people to really enjoy their university

terms, and so it's to really make it possible for them to do that. in england, 72% of young people aged between 18 and 2a have already had their first jab. among them is holly — now waiting for her second, it's as much about her own freedom as protecting others. we're socialising with other people and we'd like to be vaccinated. and eventually, i'd like to be able to go on holiday. i'm worried about family members getting it as well, because they've got to go to work and all of those things. so financially, they need to be able to go off to work, so it's important for me to get it as welt _ thank you for coming. with so much disruption to college and university terms last year, it's hoped increased vaccination will keep students well and return face—to—face teaching as the norm. we do want to have students back on campus, we want them to feel safe, we want everyone in the university community to feel safe. i think the first thing that we're really focusing on with all students is, do take the opportunity to get vaccinated. we know that vaccinations

are the best protection that individuals can take. it's the best protection for the university community as a whole. many universities will still ask students to wear masks and will manage timetables to avoid overcrowding — nhs teams hopeful that, coupled with increased vaccination, will not only maximise student enjoyment, but also reduce pressure on services, as we approach the winter months. megan patterson, bbc news. now on bbc news: it's time for the travel show with mike corey. this week, on the travel show... i am in argentina, exploring an amazing sunken town that has re—emerged from under the water. then, i had to the country's spectacular iguazu falls. and in wales, wejoin a couple starting out on a pedal powered adventure at sea, searching for a more sustainable future. we're kicking off this week in south america.

argentina, to be precise, where early last year i went to explore one of the strangest places i had ever heard of. a town that had to be abandoned due to flooding back in the 1990s, but has since re—emerged from beneath the water. you can find ghost towns all over the world and there's many different reasons why they could be abandoned but i've heard epecuen is special, because it is not abandoned, at not completely.

there's not much left... just some bricks. you can only guess what they used to be. this place is wild. there is a couple of tourists here, notjust us, but more cows than tourists. epecuen was built in the 1920s, and at its peak was home to about 5000 people. tourists came from all over argentina to take a therapeutic dip and its famous thermal bath. today, in the remains of her hometown, this woman explains what happened here. how did it become abandoned?

in 1985, heavy rain and storms sealed epecuen�*s fate. a nearby dam ruptured and within weeks the town was flooded.

for years and years, the water continued to rise, and by the early 90s, everything you see here was completely submerged. then just over a decade ago, the waters began to subside. now tourists can walk the streets once again. this looks damaged, but it's not, it's completely encrusted in mineral salts from the water. the inside, not so great... i guess that's what a quarter of a century underwater does? for me, ijust see concrete, but you, you have memories here.

some recent health complications have meant that pablo has had to move out of his home and into a nearby nursing facility.

that means epecuen�*s last resident has finally moved away, but pablo's memories of the town still live on. while epecuen may now be fully abandoned, what is left behind is a uniquely desolate, stunning landscape with a legacy that will never be forgotten. next, we are off to new zealand to visit the north island's largest rainforest. back in 2014, the government returned ownership of the land back to the local indigenous people who were now encouraging tourists to learn to interact

with the forest on a spiritual level, rather than just think of it is a great place to take a hike and some photos. this tribe, my tribe here, fought for 150 years to have land returned to the people, and they were eventually successful in 2014. what was formerly the national park area became a living entity of its own with all the rights of personhood. and i believe that it was the first of its kind in the world. they don't take over and control, they understand where they fit in, and are guided by nature.

this tree, it is supporting me, and the energy from it feels mail. —— fuels. it's a few hundred years old, whatevertree, plant, that your eyes alight upon, there is that thing acknowledging you and saying hello. if you ignore them, itjust means that you need more time, so more time spent in nature, the more you tune in, the better you develop your understanding of the language that she is speaking to you.

people that i met when it was a national park often did not know much about our tribe. 0r our indigenous ancestry, children of the mist. the retreat was born out of the desire to have a place where people could stay in nature, enfolded in nature, where they could connect with nature and themselves. you are unplugged from the distractions of life. i want people to realise that you don't need much to enjoy life, and to live. staying here strips back and takes you right back to the basics of what you need, what the body needs, what the spirit needs.

still to come on the travel show... i get to experience the spectacle and sheer force of nature of the amazing iguazu falls here in argentina. and we meet the couple setting out on a sustainable journey at sea with the help of a little pedal power. don't go away. this isn'tjust one waterfall, it's hundreds. it's three times wider

than niagara and it's a marble of nature are right on the border between argentina and brazil, and i wanted to see this water for my entire life. —— marvel. during the rainy season, every second, up to 13 million litres of water spill over a series of precipices stretching 1.5 miles wide. the first time that i saw the waterfalls i cried. the falls are steeped in local legends. some are more sinister than others. they believe that behind the waterfalls, especially behind the devil's throat, there is a giant snake living there, and they have a lot of respect for that. have you seen a giant snake? never, but i have seen this waterfall and i have a lot of respect for that.

it is one of the most spectacular sections of the falls, where a major portion of the iguazu river tumbles over, causing an effect similar to an ocean plunging into anna —— an abyss. wow! i've never seen anything like this before. 0ne waterfall, two, three, four, five, six, 20, 30, 100, all cascading down. the rush coming off this waterfall... you can feel it on your face and hands, this is an incredible moderate nature. —— wonder of nature. you have to come and see this sometime in your life. wow!

next, we join the husband—and—wife team on an incredible zero carbon adventure around wales, and so far they have completed almost 400 miles over hills and valleys under their own steam. now, it's time for them to tackle the spectacular and sometimes precarious welsh coastline in a boat powered just by pedal. we are on a circumnavigation of wales using just human power, so we're biking, walking, canoeing, pack rafting and using a specially designed pedal powered boat. this is an eight metre by 1.5 metre boat made out of wood, it was designed and built back in the early 90s to complete the first circumnavigation of the planet by human power

which is what i did, started off with a friend, and she is like almost a part of me, she is part of my soul now, i've spent so much of my life and her. like i'm ever gonna wear this. i think for me, human power means being able to be more part of a community, and i think one of the most special things about our journey so far is the fact that we are going very slowly, we are meeting some amazing people that we would have ever met. —— never met. some of the most engaging encounters in terms of people and leading onto sustainability stories which is what we are interested in exploring here in wales have come about because of human power. so we biked from greenfield dock, then we hiked over the black mountains, used pack rafts down the river to monmouth and then we just biked from monmouth to here, milford haven. so tomorrow we are going to be

peddling moksha, our little boat out into the channel essentially, around the temperature headlands and then around to fishguard, up cardigan bay, around by anglesey and back to where we started from, from greenfield dock. —— pembrokeshire headland. thank you! i can't deny that i am more apprehensive about this than crossing an ocean, which i have done in that pedal boat, several times, but this, going around the coast, you've got tides, wind, other vessels, there are so many other variables and that is what i am most nervous about. seems pretty rough.

i'm very nervous, because when he gets nervous, it really does freak me out. oh, my god! whirlpools. 0k, can you see me? no, up, up! no, up! stop! yeah, i'm just shattered. absolutely shattered.

i'm not in my comfort zone on the water, but honestly for me, it's telling the stories of the local heroes that are championing, you know, their local environments and the seals and the whales and they are out there and they are in the trenches every day working hard and they are fighting bureaucracy and i am so excited to bring those stories to other people so that they can get help, and i'm really, really excited about that. we have heard about this amazing organisation called the sea watch foundation, and jason and they are super excited, we're going to get out on the boat to see if we can't find some dolphins and other sea life, so we are looking forward to it.

what exactly is it that the sea watch foundation does? so, the sea watch foundation is a nation wide research - charity, we study whales, dolphins and porpoises . in the uk. 0ur flagship project is the one that my lead and we study - the population of bottlenose dolphins that we get around | here and we look at how do i they use their habitat and how many animals are here year after year. - so today we are not actually on a surveying boat, we are on a tourism boat? yes. can you explain, is that a problem for the dolphins? it is a difficult situation. when we look at northern cardigan bay where therel is actually a lot less tourist - boats, we have seen an impact of disturbance and that is - mainly from recreational boat traffic and we have seen an effect on the social . structure of the dolphins has not been so down here -

we have much smaller pods with longer lasting bonds, i whereas up north the animals are often in bigger groups- but they have less long lasting bonds with each other. - you just can't get away from it, can you? can we park on the flat part of the ocean from now on? this sounds ridiculous, but if i threw up and something eats a it... i've had a ibuprofen and stuff today. so sick... it's like being inside a washing machine.

so how was your night? it was ok... well, as soon as we get under way, it will be not this continual rolling. honestly, we make a good team, and it's funny because we fight

about little things that you know, i think we can't even remember what we thought about. yeah, we do fight but weirdly enough when we are out at sea or if we are on this expedition together... if we think we're gonna die, we're fine! can't one thing be easy! just one! i suppose when the chips are down and things are going really badly, that is when we come together and work really well together. you're welcome. tammy's cafe at sea. food weight is a huge problem. —— food waste. 80% of our food in this country is wasted so we're gonna go and find out how this local group is preventing food from going to landfill, so they pick up food from restaurants, from people's houses and a lot of it has not gone off, it'sjust gone past

the best before date so they make delicious food and we are tired of eating brown food on the boat, thid will be great, eating food other than our own cooking. it's reallyjust a great concept because they are feeding their local community and then anything that they can't use actually goes into a compost bin, so it is literally a complete circular economy with food that would be otherwise wasted. that's delicious! well, that's all for this week. but coming up next week: what we are trying to do here is get around this headland before the tide turns against us, but it looks like the tide has already turned. we are back with tammy and jason as they continue their voyage but with the weather closing in, will they get to their final port of call or have to abandon their mission?

you are not going to want to miss at. but from me and the rest of the team here, in argentina, it's goodbye. hello there. many of you will of had a dry start to the weekend, there's some sunshine around. the best of it arguably across eastern areas of the country. and a lovely end of the day captured by a weather watcher sue in west yorkshire. where we see those outbreaks of rain start to form, heavy showers crossing the midlands, some of those downpours been captured by our weather watcher. look at this one, a downpour crossing the skies in warwickshire captured by weather watcherjack.

right now if anything, the rain is getting a bit heavier, a bit more extensive as well as it marches its way across wales, midlands, across northern england and scotland. slowly we are starting to see the rain ease off across westernmost areas of northern ireland. so here it should be a reasonably dry start to the day on sunday. but otherwise, many of us will see at least some rain during day on sunday as these areas of rain continued to push their way eastward. the rain is going to get increasingly heavy later in the day across eastern areas across england. where the rain is going to grind to a halt and the amount of rain we see from place to place is going to vary quite a bit. but there will be a few areas that pick—up is much as 30 or a0 mm. there is a risk of seeing some localised surface water flooding across the east. many western areas actually, the weather will improve through sunday afternoon with a bit more in the way of sunshine. taking a look at the week ahead, it's not a bad start to the week with some sunny

spells, some dry weather. however, later in the week low pressure is going to be moving in and that's going to be bringing more of an autumnal feel to things as it turns wet and increasingly windy as well. monday's charts and into tuesday shows this ridge of high pressure building in ahead of the next atlantic system. and not completely dry, i mean, there will be one or two spots of rain in east anglia and south east england, a few showers in the northwest. but predominantly monday is a dry day with some sunshine. temperatures, high teens to low 20s. probably feeling just a little bit fresher than it has been over the recent days but not cold. 0n into tuesday's forecast, a few mist and fog patches to start the day. the winds really start to pick up for northern ireland and west scotland where there could be age a few showers. but again, it's a mainly dry day with some sunny spells. perhaps a bit of cloud developing across england and wales to the afternoon. top temperatures about 21 celsius was up but heading deeper into the week, low pressure is set to move in off the atlantic. this bringing rain to all areas and increasingly strong winds. we'll have some autumnal

gales later in the week.

welcome to bbc news — i'm mark lobel. our top stories. the rift deepens between france and key western allies over a cancelled submarine contract — the french foreign minister says relations with australia and the us are in crisis. translation: there has been lying, duplicity, - a major breach of trust and contempt, this will not do. things are not going well between us. us officials move thousands of migrants away from a texas border town after a rapid influx, mostly from haiti. as america admits a drone strike killed ten afghan civilians by mistake, relatives say the us apology isn't enough. this was america's last act of war before it pulled out of afghanistan, and the decision to fire the missile smacks of panic.

and what a legacy.
