this is bbc news. the headlines: millions of women in the united states have lost the constitutional right to have an abortion, after the supreme court overturned a 50—year old ruling that legalised the procedure nationwide. the conservative—dominated court voted 5—4 to set aside the long—established precedent, known as roe v wade. president biden said he was stunned by the ruling, saying it was cruel and driven by extremism that set america back to the 19th century. he pledged to help women to cross state lines for an abortion and urged voters to put personal freedoms on the ballot. his predecessor, donald trump, who appointed three of the conservative judges, welcomed the ruling as "god's work." some high—profile us firms have already offered to fund travel

expenses for employees seeking out—of—state abortions. protests have been held outside the supreme court in washington and in other cities. they're an extraordinary sight in our countryside — often to be seen gliding gracefully overhead. now, british—bred red kites are being flown abroad to spain, where their numbers are dwindling. red kite chicks will swap the forests of central england for southwestern spain, where it's hoped they'll breed and boost the population. here in the uk, red kites have had a remarkable change in fortunes since they were almost wiped out three decades ago. our environment correspondent, helen briggs, reports. soaring high in the sky above the countryside, living proof of a conservation success story. three decades ago, red kites were rescued from the brink of extinction by reintroducing wild birds from sweden and spain. doctorian evans was one of the pioneers.

it all went out of expectation, it was such a huge success which was amazing. obviously the birds in spain, unfortunately, in the last 30 years have not done so well so it is a great opportunity to go back and, you know, that is where we went to spain in the first place to save kites and now we can do that by helping them with the kites we have here. at six weeks old, the birds are naturally shy in the presence of humans, behaving as they would around presences. the birds are protected under law and conservation experts were given special permission to take them out of the country. it is a great honour to have been involved in a project right from the start. you just feel really rout of the fact that you can actually go and do some good for the environment and for such a marvellous species. there is not much

more magnificent than a kite soaring above you. this ancient forest is the perfect habitat for red cried, they have thrived here since they were reintroduced in the �*90s. the red kite chicks will be blown to madrid and taken by road to aviaries where they will spend a few weeks perfecting their flight before they are released into the wild. the first arrivals settling in in the spanish countryside and i due to be released over the summer. you need about 90— 100 birds to create a sustainable population in a given area. this is a start of a three—year project, 30 birds will go this year and we hope 30 birds in each of the next two years will also go to spain. that should be sufficient to create a new breeding nucleus of the birds. it is hoped they will flourish in their new habitat and help

secure the future of red kites across europe. now on bbc news, the travel show. this week, on the travel show. then puts forward plans to make us pay to visit the city via an app. us pay to visit the city via an a- -. , us pay to visit the city via an a . . _ , , ., . , app. they understand the city is very complicated, - app. they understand the city is very complicated, very - is very complicated, very unique, very fragile, so i think the people who love venice will understand, of course. cat is in northern ireland to take in the sights and sounds as the tourists return. are very friendly on your palate, that draws you in. and you actually did to your ear, it says try me, drink me, you love me!— ear, it says try me, drink me, you love me! and we dropped in on what claims _ you love me! and we dropped in on what claims to _ you love me! and we dropped in on what claims to be _ you love me! and we dropped in on what claims to be the - on what claims to be the world's oldest university, as it welcomes back students for the first time in around 800 years.

we start this week in italy, in the canals, squares and passageways of one of the world's most famous destinations. venice has over the years developed a relationship with tourists that can best be described as complicated. this is what it is like at midday on monday. it is pretty packed. 0n busiest days, visitors can outnumber the locals by 2—1. the city is braced for summerfor a locals by 2—1. the city is braced for summer for a return to be over tourism that plagued europe's hotspots before the pandemic. but venice has plans to fight back. last year at

band cruise ships from docking in the city, and now they plan to make the rest of us pay. 0vernight visitors already pay a city tax at the hotel, but from next year, daytrippers accept a face and charge payable through an app. i’m payable through an app. i'm ambivalent _ payable through an app. i“n ambivalent about it, in a way. venice has problems of overcrowding and tourism, it needs some regulation. but if this is the right way to do it or not, i am not entirely sure. i mean, it needs to be well done. but i have been in places where they do that, and i think usually it was a good idea.

surely businesses around here are hurting after covid, having been shut for so long? you don't really need another tax, or to charge tourists, do you?

but venice isn't the only city fighting back against the crowds. measures to limit airbnb rentals, souvenir stands and even bike and segway tours are happening in different places all over europe, from reykjavik to dubrovnik. and here in venice, they think that collecting accurate and up—to—the—minute data is the key to controlling tourism. in venice's control room, 18 monitors tourists arriving and leaving the city. they say this is one of the most advanced data monitoring systems of its kind. so this is how many people we have?

the plans to introduce a new visitor tax by an upward due to be introduced this summer but have now been shelved since next january, have now been shelved since nextjanuary, meaning that have now been shelved since next january, meaning that 2022 looks like the last chance to experience without facing a fee. , , ., ., fee. they understand that the ci is fee. they understand that the city is very — fee. they understand that the city is very complicated, - fee. they understand that the city is very complicated, very| city is very complicated, very unique, very fragile. so i think the people who love venice will understand, of course. �* venice will understand, of course. ~ ., . course. and how much will tourists be _ course. and how much will tourists be charged? - course. and how much will tourists be charged? it - course. and how much willj tourists be charged? it will course. and how much will. tourists be charged? it will be a ranue tourists be charged? it will be a range from _ tourists be charged? it will be a range from three _ tourists be charged? it will be a range from three to - tourists be charged? it will be a range from three to ten - a range from three to ten euros, in proportion to how many people will be in the city on this day. many people will be in the city on this day-— on this day. you think venice has a love — on this day. you think venice has a love hate _ on this day. you think venice has a love hate relationship l has a love hate relationship with tourists? because, you know, you get so many tourists, right? will there be gates or

fortourists. it changes might be a good thing for tourists. it might make for a more enjoyable experience. you might not have to queue up for your favourite social media photo spot either. and if you are planning an italian chip in the next couple of months, here are some things we think you should look out for. if you are looking for a taste of island life, had to projector in the bay of naples, often overshadowed by its glamorous neighbour very, the tiny resort is in the spotlight after being named italy's capital of culture for 2022. this year's calendar is packed with over 150 cultural events, from art exhibitions to readings and theatre. italy's world—famous cycling tournament world —famous cycling tournament committee world—famous cycling tournament committee giro d'italia, is overfor committee giro d'italia, is over for another year. but if you are a bike enthusiast, don't despair. you can still enjoy the grand tour, but at a more leisurely pace, thanks to a new digital guide. the event's website features 25

major trails from the slopes of aetna to the owner and beyond. but if you are an extreme sports lover, the italian round of the red bull cliff diving series is taking place this september in the seaside town napoleonic mra in puberty, southern italy. —— puglia. the event attracts huge crowds, up to 70,000 people every year. while you are there, why not take a leap into the adriatic yourself and explore the region's picturesque sea caves. still to come on the travel show... cat is taking a road trip along the coast of northern ireland. and we visit an historic university in india which is now back in business after a break of 800 years. the university hausa students from

first built by some and fishermen over 250 years ago. it's pretty bouncy! up until the 70s, this was just a single rope bridge with a handful of gaps planks so i'm super glad it's been updated because this is amazing and i would not have done it back then. much like at the dark hedges, the national trust says it is noticed kamijo has recovered on the site with fewer people going. now, numbers are limited to help nature thrive so if you want to cross the bridge and explore the little island, you have to pre—book online first. from karaka read, it is a beautiful drive along the coast passing some noteworthy sites from ballantyne harbour, the giants causeway, the beautiful tom lewis castle ruin. and then to portrush, which will be where i and my trip. but first... did

hello. plenty of fine weather around this weekend but showers in the forecast, too. however, some of us may miss them altogether and end up with a dry weekend. but i will add that around coastal areas, it could be windy at times and feel a little on the cool side. now, this changeable weather is brought by an area of low pressure which will basically park itself over ireland. it's already arrived and the showers are becoming more frequent across some western areas. that is — they will be through the course of the next 24 hours. now, we've had some showers in the last few hours. they will continue through early saturday morning across parts of western scotland but, generally speaking, it's a dry end to the night for many of us with clear spells and with temperatures ranging from around 10—15 degrees, so not particularly cold first thing in the morning. so, let's have a look at the forecast for saturday, then.

here's our area of low pressure with clouds and showers swirling around. this is a cool atlantic breeze, so around these coastal areas here of cornwall, devon, round the coasts of wales, the irish sea and into scotland, it will be chilly. temperatures around 15 or 16 degrees in some spots. basically, the further east you are, the sunnier and warmer it'll be. and remember — out towards the west, always a chance of catching some showers, even some heavy ones, notjust through the afternoon, but into the evening hours, and they'll have a tendency to drift northwards, carried by that breeze circling this area of low pressure. that was saturday. this is sunday. and look at this — even some persistent rain for a time expected in northern ireland and around some of these western parts of the uk. further east, dry and brighter and, in fact, in east anglia and the south—east and probably along the south coast of england, it should be a mostly sunny day on sunday. here, temperatures up to 23 degrees in one or two spots,

but, more typically, we're talking about the mid or high teens a little bit further towards the west. and this low pressure is still with us early next week but what happens is it actually moves away and another one takes its place, bringing spells of rain to western parts of the uk once again. so, overall, we are in a spell of fairly unsettled weather. now, here's the outlook for some of our major cities and you can see the further north and west you are, the more changeable it is with these showers. the best of the weather will always be further south and south—east. have a good weekend.
