blockbusters. the queen has been advised to rest for at least the next two weeks following concerns about her health. our royal correspondence has more. this gives her a couple of weeks just carrying out virtual arrangements, like desk duties, to recoverfrom arrangements, like desk duties, to recover from what seems like a bout of fatigue. she has carried out three different engagements in the last three days. she has mild broadly through a couple of them. she doesn't appear to be actually unwell as many of us would see it, but she has clearly been too tired to travel to either northern ireland — cancelled last week — or glasgow — cancelled this week. the doctors have said, no more trouble for a couple of weeks. she will miss the festival of

remembrance, happening on the evening before remembrance sunday, but she will get to remembrance sunday. the reason i bang on about this is because it is absolutely the most important day in at the queen's calendar. it is most important day of the royal calendar, a very important day for her personally. the fact that it was marked up by the palace is indicative, i think, was marked up by the palace is indicative, ithink, of was marked up by the palace is indicative, i think, of what this format is about. there isn't much in the diary but won't be doing much trouble. they will be keeping the queen in windsor, and we will be back on remembrance sunday, the 14th. now on bbc news, the i4th. now on bbc news, the travel show. coming up on this week's programme, talking shop in paris as one of the city's most famous department stores celebrates its belated 150th birthday. it is big, really big! the underground railroad that had no stations and no trains

but helped thousands of enslaved african—americans enslaved african—america ns escape to enslaved african—americans escape to freedom in canada. i love that term — freedom seekers — because if they had not sought freedom, who knows where we would have been to this day. a day head out to get the first of a glimpse of a galaxy over 20 million light years away. i thought that was a galaxy because it looks like the opening credits of a sci—fi movie. that is so cool. hello and welcome to the travel show. coming to you this week from a lockdown free london,

whether cityworld—famous shops whether cityworld —famous shops are slowly whether cityworld—famous shops are slowly opening up again. 0ver are slowly opening up again. over in paris, it is pretty much the same story, especially for one iconic department store thatis for one iconic department store that is celebrating not only opening its doors again, but also 150 years of being in business. we sent emeline nsingi nkosi over to do a little bit of windowshopping. lovely! paris is a second home to me. last time i was here, the streets were empty and shops were boarded up. today, it feels great to see things returning back to normal, even though some restrictions are still in place. but, i'm notjust here to drink coffee, i'm here to shop, and where better to do it than here? new york has its macy's, london has harrods. paris has

la samaritaine. a new and improved version of this iconic department store opened injune last year after a long six e— year closure. so, here it is. la samaritaine. each of the sections representing a different moment in time, and, actually, it started as a small store just over there. now, look at it! despite its humble beginnings, la samaritaine soon became one of the most well—known department stores in paris. it was a place to see and be seen. the shop where you could supposedly find everything. founded in 1870, the art nouveau building came first, the 19th century was a time of big change in paris and la samaritaine symbolised that change. but, its ornate

features soon became outdated. a few decades later, an art deco building was constructed next door in an effort to bring in at the next generation of shoppers. and it worked, with the help of the quirky advertising, the store flourished. at its peak, it employs over 3000 brazilians. —— corinthians. but as times and tastes change, the shop's popularity dwindled. safety concerns and high maintenance costs meant that in 2005, la samaritaine had to close its doors. many thought that was it for the store until luxury fashion brands lvmh

stepped in with the help of 750 million euros. for locals paris, lvmh just isn't a building or a department store. when we reopen this building, all of the parisian people came to visit, notjust for the store but for the architecture. the building was completely gutted. some originalfeatures were discovered when stripping back the layers that used to cover the art nouveau interior before it went out of fashion. specialist craftspeople were tracked down from across france for the job. tracked down from across france for thejob. the result is breathtaking. wow. it's big, really big.

this is great to see. i mean, it is heaving with people and you... you canjust see it is heaving with people and you... you can just see that they aren't obviously here just to shop and eat, because they are walking around taking pictures of the structure. yes. ., ., ., , pictures of the structure. yes. ., ., ., pictures of the structure. yes. ., . . , ., yes. how hard was it to redo? from this _ yes. how hard was it to redo? from this level, _ yes. how hard was it to redo? from this level, you _ yes. how hard was it to redo? from this level, you can - yes. how hard was it to redo? from this level, you can see l from this level, you can see every detail of the art and architecture. you can see the stairs, the historic detail with the handrail. it is refurbished exactly the same design and the same kind of detail by the artist. and you can see this from the 1960. you didn't see this because it was

covered by a white painting. but, it has been far from a smooth ride. a brand—new building struggle to get planning permission, and local said that modern facade didn't fit in with the local architecture. right here, you can really get a sense of whether older building that i know and love meets this new, more modern development. personally, i have a real soft spot for the old one. we are very careful to keep the dna that was really given by the founders. first, they were real innovators and they were innovators in terms of, for example, architecture, because now you have the art nouveau, art deco, right now it seems traditional but at that time it was really revolutionary for them. and we did the same thing, a little bit, with this

facade. we asked the architect to do this very contemporary facade. that, you know, we prolonged the tradition of innovation from ourfunders. innovation from our funders. the innovation from ourfunders. the store has itself. shopping brands, food stores, and even a luxury hotel. it is something to see. before, it was— it is something to see. before, it wasjust _ it is something to see. before, it wasjust part it is something to see. before, it was just part of our love, but — it was just part of our love, but we _ it was just part of our love, but we don't see it. you know? we didn't— but we don't see it. you know? we didn't take the time to admire _ we didn't take the time to admire. now, we stop and we look. — admire. now, we stop and we look. and _ admire. now, we stop and we look, and we talk. i really like these cherries. this definitely reminds me of being a child. but, with the rise of online shopping fuelled by the pandemic, is there still a place for the department store? 16 years have passed. we have to build some return for the next 30 years, so, i mean, we

adapted to the changing habits, the changing clients that became much more sophisticated, demanding, expecting, you know, and experience, to really offer something different that you cannot find online. the decoration aspect is really important, and then also the experience that you have. you have a lot of light, you know, it's really nice walking around. and a lot of surprises captured in at the store. there are lots of things you cannot do online. this is absolutely gorgeous, look at that colour! doesn't fit, which is a shame because i have always wanted to be a hat lady. 0k! a velvet barre. as they say, when in paris...

super cute, but price? yes, sadly not for today. stay right there, looking beautiful. la samaritaine has been in business for over 150 years, and it has come a long way since then. you might not be able to buy everything here anymore, visiting is an experience in itself, and it is sure good to be back. stay with us. still to come on the travel show, we are off to america to meet the people from chicago who are learning more about the part their city played in the fight against slavery. we were just talking about how it connects to our heritage, being black women, and how empowering and invigorating it is to know part of your history. and i had up to the happiest

for a spot of stargazing, scottish style. hebrides. so those are the stars! that is way more than you can see with the naked eye. we are off to the us now with the story of how the american civil war ended slavery in the country's southern states is well known. but what is not so well—known is the story of the underground railroad. it was a secret network, which, before the civil war, help to smuggle escaped slaves out of america and onto freedom. a new tour is helping many local people from chicago reconnect with that history, and we have been to meet some of them. the underground railroad has no decisions, no trans, and no tunnels. it got its name because it operated amidst the

highest secrecy. 0nce escaping slaves jumped on—board the slaves jumped on—boa rd the railroad, slaves jumped on—board the railroad, they simply vanished until they were either recaptured or reached their final destination. freedom. an undercover network of conductors or guides operated along the route of the railroad, which stretched from slave owning states in america's deep south all the way north to the canadian border. now, something called the african—american heritage water trail has been created to help preserve and share the history of this little—known but important section of the underground railroad. paddling along this trail, telling the stories. folks who have shown the courage and fortitude.

the bbc iplayer. but for now, from me and he adepitan in an autumnal london, it's goodbye. skies have cleared across some parts of the country and it's even dried out but in other areas, it's raining again and the next weather front is currently moving into western parts of the uk and the whole weekend is going to be very changeable, from rain to sunshine back to rain again. so here's the satellite picture, and you can see lots of weather systems circling around the north atlantic, some of them moving in. this is the one that's over western parts of the uk right now so if it's raining where you are at this very moment, it's as a result of this weather front, and you can see it here through the early hours of the morning.

the rain will be heaviest around south—western scotland, wales and also the south—west of england. in some areas, there could be 20, 30, maybe even 40mm of rain. at the same time — and this is 7am — it's dry in newcastle, hull and just about dry in london as well. but watch the weather front — it moves into central parts of the uk and then pushes eastwards by late morning and certainly by lunchtime, the bulk of that rain is out in the north sea and the weather improves across most of the uk. it's not going to be completely dry — there will be some showers around — but there's certainly going to be a lot more sunshine around the second half of the day. 15 in london, around 11 degrees for belfast and also glasgow. then on saturday night, a wind of opportunity, a window of drier weather before the next area of low pressure sweeps in. and just certainly worthy of a mention — it's the fact that the clocks go back early hours of sunday. so here we go, sunday's weather map. here's the low pressure

moving into the uk. now, a lot of isobars there, pressure lines, so that means there's going to be quite a strong wind blowing into western and south—western parts of the country — gale force winds, in fact. here's that band of rain in the morning. and then by the time we get to lunchtime, the bulk of that rain, again, is out in the north sea and it dries out, not completely — some areas, particularly around the irish sea, northern ireland here, we will have showers. now, the good news is for some of the trick—or—treaters, at least, that the skies will be clear enough and i think there'll be some drier weather around as well, but not completely dry — always some showers about. and the forecast shows that the weather will be changeable through the first half of the week but towards the end of the week, things should settle down. bye— bye.
