company then did a screen production company then did a screen shot of the instagram story and shared it and then the news came out. i think a lot of people were expecting the announcement of a new doctor to come on baby bbc one during a sporting event next week, but it actually makes sense for it to be announced today that ncuti gatwa is the next doctor. he is a huge star already, he is on sex education sentence back and he is nominated for his role in the programme and he is also presenting an award. it makes sense to announce it on the day that he will be asked by a lot ofjournalists about whether he will be asked if he is the next doctor, he may as well say yes and move on and have that great moment which he deserves.

let's talk more widely about the bafta awards. what are the standout nominations for you at this year's awards? i nominations for you at this year's awards? ., _ nominations for you at this year's awards? ., my �*, nominations for you at this year's awards? ., _ �*, ~ nominations for you at this year's awards? ., �*, ~ ,, , ., awards? i would say it's a sin, show which has had _ awards? i would say it's a sin, show which has had a _ awards? i would say it's a sin, show which has had a massive _ awards? i would say it's a sin, show which has had a massive impact - awards? i would say it's a sin, show which has had a massive impact on i which has had a massive impact on been recognised already, russell t davies' drama highlighting its crisis of 19805 and also making people aware of the loss of lgbtq+ history and i knew a lot about this history and i knew a lot about this history —— and your bit about this ever but i learnt so much in the drama and it is a personal me. i have had three different actors competing for the same category, all going full supporting actor. you also have lydia west for best actress, ollie alexander for best actress, ollie alexander for best actor, the emotional movement involving callum scott howell i5 best actor, the emotional movement involving callum scott howell is up from the sea moment and that is essentially the public awards where

the public could vote and he is against rose elli5 from strictly end ant on deck but i think that could have a chance of winning that award too so this is the thing, that this show was on 15 months ago and many people asking me why are we talking about a show that has been on for such a while but that is because the bafta tv awards celebrate this tv from 2021 in the middle of 2022 but this is a show i think willjust stand the test of time regardless of whether i win as they awards tonight but i reckon it will do.— but i reckon it will do. notable fact is of the _ but i reckon it will do. notable fact is of the nominees - but i reckon it will do. notable fact is of the nominees are - but i reckon it will do. notablei fact is of the nominees are not but i reckon it will do. notable i fact is of the nominees are not be nominated before. what does that tell us about bafta's commitment to new talent? i tell us about bafta's commitment to new talent? ~ . ., , ., m new talent? i think that was a fact bafta was — new talent? i think that was a fact bafta was addressing _ new talent? i think that was a fact bafta was addressing in - new talent? i think that was a fact bafta was addressing in terms i new talent? i think that was a fact bafta was addressing in terms of| bafta was addressing in terms of trying to make it much more inclusive, notjust a shaving there all is that the entries they receive in the first place are much more inclusive and also the juries that decide the overall winner is much more invasive to anything that is a

great thing to see because itjust shows the strength of british tv talent in the right way and i think it isjust also talent in the right way and i think it is just also the fact you have so many first—time nominees in so many of the roles including in axing and presenting two which is also much better and i think also if you just look at the categories, normally to look at the categories, normally to look in and say this show is going to another sector is going to win but in so many of the acting categories particularly it is so hard because british drama has never been better in terms of competition between different channels and also international competition thanks to the stream too but it makes incredibly hard to go and pick the overall winners and some of them. you are really thinking how on earth were these juries able to spend the time. are they go into the middle of the night to decide to some of these ones were? because if you look at miniseries for example you have it's a sin, landscapers, time, dramas which any normal year would be the

out right winner along with steven on itv2 but i think that makes incredibly hard because how would you pick against these drums to go and choose the overall winner? thank you very much scott. are you going along later? i'm not wearing a suit for no reason!— for no reason! that's what i thought. — for no reason! that's what i thought. i _ for no reason! that's what i thought, i thought - for no reason! that's what i thought, i thought we - for no reason! that's what i thought, i thought we were j for no reason! that's what i - thought, i thought we were going to join you on the red carpet. this thought, i thought we were going to join you on the red carpet.— join you on the red carpet. this is the thing. — join you on the red carpet. this is the thing. that — join you on the red carpet. this is the thing, that cap _ join you on the red carpet. this is the thing, that cap wasn't - join you on the red carpet. this is the thing, that cap wasn't open i join you on the red carpet. this is| the thing, that cap wasn't open to until 1:50pm the thing, that cap wasn't open to until1:50pm so i the thing, that cap wasn't open to until 1:50pm so i did want to be speaking to you in the middle of a car park ends when speaking to at home singing to go in now. you car park ends when speaking to at home singing to go in now. you are a very glamorous _ home singing to go in now. you are a very glamorous setting _ home singing to go in now. you are a very glamorous setting there. - home singing to go in now. you are a very glamorous setting there. it - home singing to go in now. you are a very glamorous setting there. it is i very glamorous setting there. it is my housemate — very glamorous setting there. it 3 my housemate plants that i will thank him. white like all lit up. have a lovely day. now the travel show. now on bbc news...the travel show ade adepitan is in athens. coming up on this week's travel show... making ancient greece more accessible. i mean, this is an extra part of the trip. this is a part that only we get. we meet the woman who helped the famous stray cats of athens survive through the pandemic.

ps—ps—ps. she's so cute. and we're off to spain for a taste of the sun. oh, my god. that crushing sound. and back. wow! look at that. history and accessibility can sometimes feel like they're at odds with each other.

i love a historical site as much as the next person, but with narrow walkways, flights of stone steps and worn—away surfaces, a visit can feel like a herculean task. it's a bit of a mission. i'm making my way up to the acropolis — which in greek means high city — which doesn't look nor sound very wheelchair—friendly. so before covid, it was a proper mission to get up to the acropolis if you had any sort of mobility issues. basically, you had a 15—minute hike up a load of steep stairs and loads of steep ramps before you came to any sort of accessible pathway. but since then, things have changed. the acropolis i5 greece's number—one tourist attraction and, pre—pandemic, over3.5 million people climbed to the top each year.

one good thing to come out of the lockdowns was there was finally the time and the space to make the site more accessible to those with mobility issues. just seen a sign for a disabled entrance, i think. yeah. know what? it's still a mission to get up here. i can see why the ancient greeks were so fit. you have to be a god to get up this ramp. let's do it! which way am i going? this way? thank you. remember when i said it was a 15—minute hike up some stairs to get to the acropolis? those are the stairs i'm talking about. wow! i'd never make it up there. hello. but help is at hand. all i have to do is catch my breath and admire the scenery as i wait

for the brand—new lift, built to comfortably accommodate two wheelchairs at a time. but not everyone sees it as an improvement — with some critics calling it a modernist eyesore. well, i think it beats climbing flights of steps any day of the week. this is all right. look at this view. this isjust... i mean, this is an extra part of the trip. this is a part that only we get. all the other good old—fashioned two—leggers have to go up the stairs! and this is what i'm talking about. afterjust a0 seconds in the lift, and using the acropolis' new accessible paths, i get to experience all of this. the acropolis has a long history, and over its time it's

been used as a fortress, a mosque, and it's even been blown up. but its headliner has got to be the parthenon — a temple dedicated to the ancient greek goddess athena, who gave the city of athens its name. wow! i have never been so happy to see concrete. that is amazing. i've actually been here before, and the last time i was here this was all rough and gravelly and really hard to push along. but now i get to experience the acropolis, and i get this wonderful view of the parthenon. this is brilliant. i want to take these concrete slabs home! but improvement is not a word some would use when describing the work carried out at the site. not everyone is happy with the renovations that have gone on here at the acropolis. now, some people have complained about the concrete 5lab5 being laid down, saying that it's hiding the original features of the acropolis, and even wounding the stone here. but i've been told that these

5lab5 can be raised, and you'll still have the original features, and actually, look — this is some of the original stone, and it's smooth anyway. rival historians claim the work carried out is a means to get more tourists to visit, and i5 disrespectful to the site's diverse past. i'm heading down to the acropolis museum to meet a man who knows a thing or two about ancient history, and he believes the ancient greeks themselves would have been ok with this upgrade. ancient greek civilisation, culture is an anthropocentric culture. that means they created their gods in the image of themselves. zeus, hera, aphrodite, and so on. and between them they had hephaestus, a very hard—working metal smith, and very powerful god.

and he was lame. wow! that's incredible. disabled gods, or gods with disabilities. i'm learning so many new things. this is amazing. and i'm also told that accessibility at the acropolis is not a new thing. even in the archaic period — that means 6th century bc — there were ramps leading up to the temple of athena. not the parthenon, because the parthenon didn't exist until the 5th century. but even earlier, there is evidence for this ramp, as well. and many times it has been interpreted that it was for the animals to be sacrificed. but it is not only that — it is also for all the people, helping disabled people and older people or pregnant women and so on,

so that they have a good and easy accessibility towards the temple of the goddess. and the conversation has got quite heated. you know, people have said that it's the disneyfication of the monuments here. it's wounding the rock. it's barbaric. yeah. what are your thoughts on that? come on. these are politics, and politics... it is actually, democratically speaking, different options of different people. you cannot look with my eyes and i cannot look with yours.

there are plans in place to make the site even more accessible, with the installation of further paths. i, for one, think this attraction is setting a good example to historic monuments throughout the world. and i'm really happy that i get to experience the acropolis now. well, if you're planning on visiting athens any time soon, here's a rundown of things to maybe look out for. you might find yourself paying through the nose to get onto one of athens' many beaches. entry fees can push up into the hundreds of euros at somewhere like astir beach during peak season. vouliagmeni lake is a good alternative. it has sunbeds, hot springs and limestone caves for about 15 euros each.

athens' open—air amphitheatres are a really special place to go and see a concert or play. patti smith and diana krall are both appearing this summer at the odeon herodes atticus at the foot of the acropolis. if you're a fan of the classics, plays by aeschylus, sophocles and euripides are on at the ancient theatre of epidaurus, with full english subtitles. i think i'll need �*em! many visitors pass through the vast and ancient piraeus port on their way to the greek islands. while you're there, check out the old workshops and warehouses in surrounding streets. in recent times, the buildings have become a hub for contemporary art galleries. a brand—new metro line can whisk you there from central athens in around 50 minutes. and athens is known for its open—air cinemas. throughoutjune, july and august,

you can catch classic films and new releases in some beautiful outdoor spots. the screenings take place under starry skies in the city's squares, museums and parks, and some are totally free of charge. right, stay with us, because still to come on the programme... ps—ps—ps. she's so cute! i meet the woman who helped hundreds of her four—legged friends survive the pandemic here in athens. and kate is off to malaga in spain, to take on another culinary challenge. and take another one. the olive oil is going to be totally different. they look identical to me. yeah, but, you know, i promise, it's going to be a totally different taste. so don't go away. these are just some

of the cats of athens. if you've ever visited greece, then there's a good chance a feline friend has made a cameo appearance in your trip outside a taverna or at an ancient ruin. these guys are everywhere. ps—ps—ps. she's so cute! i'm meeting sam beaker, a volunteer at athens—based cat charity nine lives. we are a team, nine lives, and we feed every day here in acropolis and in many other places around the centre of athens. wow. i mean, that's a big job. there are many, many cats in athens. yes. we feed around over 500 cats around the centre. the team at nine lives definitely have their work cut out.

so i've decided to help sam beaker with the dinner—time shift and get some grub out to these furry athenians. they are always together. these two? yes. best friends. how did the pandemic affect the work that you were doing, and also the welfare of the cats? well, suddenly, because the town was empty, you could see... ..5o many, many cats, revealed a lot of cats we didn't know that there were around and we had to feed more because probably some of them were eating around tavernas who were not any more open. hello, diego. this is diego. you recognised because of the eye? yeah, he lost his eye... ..er, recently. hello, baby.

baby, come here. this i5n'tju5t about keeping these cats' bellies full. feeding them breeds trust and allows nine lives volunteers to carry out important health checks. it's not so, so much food for them. town is not the physical environment for the animals. they don't have enough food and they wouldn't be so healthy. they would be a little bit skinny, sick, and if we didn't 5terili5e them, there would be thousands. yeah. so they would die. yeah. they wouldn't survive. no tourists meant no tavernas. and if it wasn't for volunteers, these guys would have gone hungry. mewing. but as athens opens up again,

should we all be sharing our meals with the local cats? ok, they can give them a treat, as, er, as far is not problem for the owner. i do it also when i eat in a tavern! she chuckles. animals mustn't eat, actually, ourfood. and sometimes it can be dangerous for them because usually they give the bones of the fish. i always carry now with me cat food so i don't have to take from my plate and give to the animals if i am outside. i have something always. right, next time i'm in athens, i'll be packing cat biscuits for sure! well, to finish up this week, we're leaving the cat food behind

and heading off to spain, where kate hardy buckley is on the lookout for something far more enticing to add to her menu. i'm in malaga, a sun—kissed port city in southern spain. now, every summer, i normally pass straight through here to another town further along the costa del sol. but this time i'm sticking around. with its fertile soil, the sea air, and over 300 days of sunshine a year, this region is perfect for finding the best produce. jose carlos garcia is one of malaga's finest ambassadors of gastronomy. he suggested we meet at the mercado central to explore some local produce that inspired his michelin—starred restau ra nt.

what are we going to cook together? before i leave the market, i pick up the almonds for our ajo blanco soup. first up, i visit finca la torre — producers of one of the world's most premium extra virgin olive oils. these are like 100—year—old trees. ja, ja. wow. even more. wow. victor perez tends to his 311,000 olive trees with such care, his olive oil receives the perfect score at competitions. we take, you know, one olive, and take another one. the olive oil is going

to be totally different. they look identical! yeah, but, you know, i promise it's going to be total different taste. in a few weeks, they will become a little bit yellow and they will be more tender. it's the signal that the olive oil content, it is full now. that means harvest time, and victor prioritises quality, not quantity. from this tree, we will get around 30, a0 kilos. so that's only three or four bottles. it is, yeah, three or four bottles. from the moment the olive leaves the tree to the bottle, how long does that take? the whole process, it takes around two hours. two hours?! since we have to be really, really, really, really fast. there's no other way. this estate dates back to roman times, and today we're pressing the olives the old—fashioned way. oh, my god. that crushing sound! and back?

yeah. wow. look at that! unlike wine, which often improves with age, olive oil is best fresh. it's delicious. i'm going to go back to london now and start drinking olive oil in a wine glass! they chuckle. i've also got to bring chef jose carlos something from the sea. and i'm just in time for the fishermen coming in from their night trawl. i've seen sardines, i've seen anchovies, boquerones. it doesn't get much fresher than this. this is absolutely amazing. the noise, the pace, all the chatter. literally, yourfish is off the boat, into auction, and in a matter of hours onto a plate. i pick up some sardines — a fish synonymous with this city. last on my list is the pitaya — the dragonfruit. it's beautiful. this cactus fruit, often associated with southeast asia, originates from southern mexico. its production in spain has grown

exponentially in the last few years. and now to jose carlos garcia's michelin—starred restaurant at the marina. the easy stuff for me, the difficult stuff for you. 0k! we grind the almonds to create the base of ajo blanco soup. it's totally changed colour. it's a magnificent creamy white.

jose carlos takes the freshest ingredients and turns them into something beautiful. wow. she sighs dreamily. oh, my god! it's beautiful. mm! so fresh. the crunch of the fruit and then the sweet 5limine55 of the sardine — absolutely fenomenal!

well, that's your lot for this week. just before we go, a quick word about next week. wow! there's so many mummies here, vivian. carmen's back in chile — where this time she comes face—to—face with the ancient civilisation that's been given new unesco recognition for humanity's oldest examples of mummification. oh, wow! it's quite small. what can you tell me about this mummy? so make sure you catch that if you can, and also check us out on social media. but for now, from me, ade adepitan, and the rest of the travel show team here in athens — where it's so good to finally be out on the road again together with you guys — it's goodbye, and see you next time.

hello there. it continues to be a decent weekend in across much of the country. early in the new week we will find some changes with this thickening cloud that we've got in the atlantic tending to bring in rain from the north—west, but ahead of that a lot of the cloud we saw earlier on has been thin and high cloud with plenty sunshine coming through — after a foggy start in some parts of northern ireland it looks like we have the sunshine today. it looks very different, though, for tomorrow.

indeed, sunshine across much of the country, really, just some patchy fairweather cloud developing through the afternoon, could squeeze out a light shower across north wales, northern england and scotland and if you catch one of those you're very unlucky. a warm day in the sunshine with temperatures typically 18 or 19 degrees. a little bit cooler perhaps around some of those north sea coasts. the cloud that does develop this afternoon tending to melt away this evening, a lovely end to the day. then we start to see the cloud coming in from the atlantic into scotland and northern ireland, some rain waiting in the wings. quite a range of temperatures tonight. very much milder in the north—west compared the clearer skies that we've got in england and wales. it could be quite chilly first thing tomorrow with temperatures in east anglia and the south east three orfour degrees, perhaps. high pressure has been keeping it generally quiet and dry this weekend. that's getting moved away out towards the east. these weather fronts are coming in from the atlantic, starting to bring in this change. more noticeable across scotland and northern ireland where we have a stronger southerly wind tomorrow and a lot more cloud and that rain developing more widely. it will take a while to push into england and wales. we will see cloud increasing

from the north—west. we'll hang on to sunshine for longer in the south—east of england and here it will be a warm day, 23 degrees, and could be the highest temperature over the week ahead. much cooler, though, underneath the cloud and rain in scotland and northern ireland. and those weather fronts then tumble down into england and wales on monday night into tuesday, weakening all the while, so there will not be much rain for england and wales on tuesday. some places may stay dry. we do have more cloud which will push down towards the south—east and following on from that we will get some sunshine. showers as well, which could be frequent, heavy and possibly thundery in western scotland and northern ireland. still 1a degrees in glasgow and back down to around 20 in the south—east of england. we'll keep those sort of temperatures through the rest of the week. there's the threat of rain across southern areas as we head into wednesday but then it becomes drier and it will feel again like today pleasantly warm in some sunshine.

this is bbc news with the latest headlines. governments urge political parties in northern ireland to re—establish a devolved administration, after sinn fein became the largest party in the assembly. that's a first for a nationalist party. the issue of the post—brexit protocol, though, could complicate the way forward. if the eu do not show flexibility, we have always said we will take the action as the uk government to ensure that northern ireland's place in part of the internal market and protecting the good friday agreement is absolutely there. iamat i am at belfast, stormont in belfast where we are questioning what will it take to get politicians back to the power—sharing assembly behind me?
