for 300 years on and off, estonia was part of russia. ruled first by the czarist empire, then soviet union. links between the two are many and deep. in fact, around a third of the people here have russian as their first language. but russian as theirfirst language. but since russian as their first language. but since the invasion of ukraine in february, the government has steered a course very firmly away from its powerful neighbour. there have been trouble bans for russian tourists and something even more dramatic. —— travel bans.
5:33 am
historic russian and soviet monuments are being removed from public view. and notjust here. the other baltic states, latvia and lithuania, are making similar symbolic gestures. this was among the first, a replica tank commemorating soviet soldiers killed during world war ii. it's been moved to estonia's war miomirfrom the it's been moved to estonia's war miomir from the town of narva which sits right alongside the russian border. the government says it's too stop what he calls increasing social tension. stop what he calls increasing socialtension. 0h, stop what he calls increasing social tension. oh, wow! welcome. the t34 was produced from may 40s to 60s, more than

5:41 am
but tallinn still makes a big deal of it nonetheless! a couple of highlights from the old town. 0ld hands at is a super touristy but fun mediaeval themed restaurant just around the corner from the gothic town hall. it claims its food is still made to i7th—century recipes. also nearby is nicholas to museum in the 12th century nicholas to the 12th century nicholas to the big showpiece is burnt not come's danse macabre which invites you to think about the futility of life. and sauna culture is everywhere in estonia. there is a good chance they will be one where ever you are staying but look out for smoke saunas, where you will split in the aroma of strict birch logs. —— stripped. still to come on the travel show... reflections on the sum

and i am working towards my phd study hydro climate extremes and i make youtube videos about climate change and activism. this summer and frankly the last several years the northern hemisphere especially has been seeing this intense dramatic heatwave that are predominantly caused by increasing global temperature like climate change and we are seeing it in places like the uk and california. what you are seeing in yosemite and the — what you are seeing in yosemite and the sierra is more fires and — and the sierra is more fires and this— and the sierra is more fires and this year, boy, it is, you know. — and this year, boy, it is, you know. when— and this year, boy, it is, you know, when i first moved up here — know, when i first moved up here about 25 years ago, you would — here about 25 years ago, you would get maybe one major fire every _ would get maybe one major fire every five — would get maybe one major fire every five or ten years. we are getting — every five or ten years. we are getting major fires every year now — getting major fires every year now. and _ getting major fires every year now, and multiple ones. the problems — now, and multiple ones. the problems are _ now, and multiple ones. the problems are the _ now, and multiple ones. the problems are the melting snow on the — problems are the melting snow on the glaciers. _ problems are the melting snow on the glaciers. we _ problems are the melting snow on the glaciers. we have - problems are the melting snow on the glaciers. we have a - problems are the melting snow on the glaciers. we have a lot. on the glaciers. we have a lot more — on the glaciers. we have a lot more crevasse _ on the glaciers. we have a lot more crevasse incidents - on the glaciers. we have a lot. more crevasse incidents because the snow— more crevasse incidents because the snow coverage _ more crevasse incidents because the snow coverage on _ more crevasse incidents because the snow coverage on the - the snow coverage on the glaciers _

5:47 am
flooding is that none of them are really new. humans have experienced all these events for a very long time, and we have built structures and communities to cope with them. and we can keep doing that and we can respond to how the world is changing around us. 0bviously travelling can be a huge source of emissions. spending time outside is one of the least omitting things you can do, and if you are looking for it you can find these beautiful natural spaces basically anywhere. i have left the capital tallinn now and i am making for estonia's countryside. this looks almost _ estonia's countryside. this looks almost like - estonia's countryside. t'i 3 looks almost like savannah, it just goes on forever. and looks almost like savannah, it just goes on forever.— looks almost like savannah, it just goes on forever. and for a landscape _ just goes on forever. and for a landscape whose _ just goes on forever. and for a landscape whose reputation i just goes on forever. and for a l landscape whose reputation has done something of an about—face in recent years. around 7% of estonia is made up of this bog
5:48 am
land. and it is fair to say in the past not everyone will a huge fan. in fact people would regard a landscape like this with horror because folklore said that this is exactly the kind of place where you might be waylaid by evil spirits. times have changed though, and it is now becoming apparent just how useful these bogs are. the world's peat land store twice as much carbon as forests according to the un and that makes them enormously valuable in the fight against climate change. it is odd to see a digger at work in a forest and know it is doing good. marcus! hello. i am know it is doing good. marcus! hello. iam krista know it is doing good. marcus! hello. i am krista matt good to meet you. as a result estonia is making efforts to restore and re— bog some of the land that was drained decades ago.

just follow the handles on screen now. until next time, stay warm, pili. —— by buyer. hello there. friday brought heavy rain forsome, and in areas where we are desperate for it. the heaviest of the rain moving up through dorset across the midlands and, in fact, there was over an inch of rainfall in parts of 0xfordshire throughout the day, so some pretty muddy fields starting to develop now. however, eastern england, lots of blue sky and sunshine and temperatures peaked at 20 degrees. it was a beautiful opportunity for getting out and enjoying some of the gorgeous autumn colour that we have. the start of the weekend quite promising with this little bump of high pressure but the second half of the weekend sees this low developing, moving in and bringing further outbreaks of rain.
5:55 am
once again, the winds will become a feature but we keep the wind direction from a southerly, so that milder flow stays with us. those temperatures are widely going to sit in the mid to high teens over the next few days. so on saturday, we'll have some outbreaks of showery rain through northern ireland, pushing out of northern england into southern scotland and weakening just a touch. at the same time, we'll start to see showers, some of them heavy and thundery, gathering into the south—west. but sandwiched in between the two, that's where the best of the sunshine is likely to be, and temperatures again peaking at 18—19 degrees with that sunshine. it'll feel very pleasant.
5:56 am
into sunday — here's that low, then, starting to bring some heavy, thundery downpours up across the country. a spell of wet weather through the morning which will pretty much start to grind to a halt across central scotland into the afternoon. brightening up with sharper showers behind and still pretty warm with it, so a day of contrasts, i suspect, once again into sunday afternoon. now, as we move into the beginning of the week, that frontal system will start to push through the far north of scotland but we're still going to keep the threat of further fronts moving in from the west as we go through the week ahead. so on monday, we've got some wet weather clearing scotland. sunny spells and scattered showers behind. still the risk that some of those showers could be thundery, chiefly out to the west. the best of the drier weather once again remains for eastern england. and again, we're going to see those temperatures into the high teens — above where they should be for this time of year. and that's going to be the trend as we go through the week ahead. it stays relatively mild but we've got more showers to come towards the end of the working week. that's it. whatever you're doing, have a lovely weekend.
