hi, and welcome to the great court here in the british museum in london. now this apparently is the biggest covered public square in the whole of europe. and what a greeting for the six million visitors who come here every year to see collections gathered from all around the globe. a bit later, i'll be finding out why a growing number of museums are now rethinking their relationships with egyptian mummies. indeed, some are removing them from public display forever. but we are kicking off this week in new york. we ask if the city's famous nightlife, which went quiet during the pandemic, has finally come roaring back. we sent kimberly davis to find out.

it's easily one of the most electrifying places in the world. new york. america's busiest city. renowned for its 24/7 lifestyle. today's party scene has legendary roots. hangouts like studio 5a and cbgbs were known for groundbreaking music, celebrities, but also a sense of freedom and escape. but covid changed everything — and in march of 2020, djs had to stop the music. but now that people are returning, is the city what it used to be? i'm here to see what 2a hours in the big apple looks like today. and as a native new yorker,

i know a thing or two about nightlife in this city. now, any good night out starts with food. and where better to fill up and at one of manhattan's most iconic delis. it is so busy here. i have to figure out what i want really quick, because if you don't know, you will get shoved out of the way and people willjump ahead of you. the first thing i recommend is, they give you a ticket, the ticket gets you in. where is your ticket? i don't have one, i didn't end up getting one. hello. use it to pay and to walk out. to pay and to walk out? hi there, can i get a pastrami sandwich? delis and diners are part of the fabric of the city, catering to hunger pangs at all hours. here is your pastrami. oh my god! thank you. this is gigantic.

it's nothing. i love that, it's nothing, it's nothing. food and nightlife go hand—in—hand. we struggled a little bit during the pandemic, as did everyone in the world, literally. we got lucky — customers still supported us, our regulars took care of us, and that is what it means to be in business for 135 years and five generations. but not all have been lucky. many have closed their doors permanently. the numbers employed in the restaurant scene have shrunk by 35,000 since the pandemic. and for those that have survived, it has been a challenge. there was a lot of trial and error, and bars in the neighbourhood have been going through similar sets of questions. so we didn't start 2a hours right away, because they also weren't staying open until 4am like they used to. but kind of hand—in—hand, lockstep, the nightlife scene, bar scene, food scene came back with a real vengeance.

what do you think? it's good, right? wow. laughs now that i am fed, i have definitely got the energy to take me through the night. time to hit my first bar. hi, ann. great to see you! nice to meet you! wow, look at this view! welcome to new york. shall we come in and have a drink? this is someone who knows the bar scene inside and out. she's got the job of getting the city's nightlife back on track. prior to the pandemic, new york city nightlife represented $35 billion in economic impact for the city. overall, new york city's creative community generates close to $150 billion and almost half a million jobs. so that is the cold data, but more than anything it is important that new york city come back so that we can be the city that everyone knows us to be.

what is new york city like now post—pandemic? 56.1; million tourists cannot be wrong. certainly, post—pandemic we are awake. and while visitor numbers are not yet hitting pre—pandemic levels of 66 million, ann's optimistic they will come close by the end of this year. cheers! taxi! and away we go. i really miss this. i miss getting into a yellow taxi, getting ready for a night out, going around, seeing the sights, feeling the lights and the glitter of the city, the smell, the buzz, the excitement. this is when new york city starts coming alive. and i love it. i'm heading over the bridge to a part of brooklyn that

used to be a no—go area, but is now a vibrant hot spot for nightclubs in the city. well, hello. hello! hi, i'm kim! hi kim, i'm madame vivien v. so nice to meet you! you can call me viv, everyone does. 0k, viv, can you tell me, where are we? we are in bushwick, we are in brooklyn, new york, and this area in particular has gone through quite a renaissance. tell me what we're looking at. we have our token dive bar, and this area has become home to the most illustrious clubs in the world. like where? like the house of yes. oh my god, i've heard of this place! can you get me in? i would love to take you there. i am so excited, let's go! let's go. who are you, you're new?

i am kim, nice to meet you. nice to meet you, i am pixel. tell me about your act tonight. i've been here for seven years, since 2013, i moved here with a high heeland a dream. do you think that new york is back? 0h, new york city is back in full force, mama, kicking and screaming. people are aware that these live events could go away, so they treasure the experiences and they are much more present for the experiences. this also is the best stage in new york city and the biggest, bright — i mean, you're gonna see tonight. dance music plays it feels so good to be in new york city where nightlife is just thriving, isn't it? cheering and applause even though i moved away

from new york, i still get a buzz when i come back home. you just can't beat new york city. viv, thank you so much, this is such an amazing night. i am so grateful that you liked it, kim. mwah! kimberly davis there, up all night in new york city. and if you're planning a trip there this year, here's a rundown of some of the things that you can see and do while you are there. # you know that every year we wait... if you are a musical theatre buff, the recently opened museum of broadway might be something to sing about. inside, you'll find memorabilia from over 500 productions, including costumes, set pieces and props spanning 300 glorious years of history and culture.

after a two—year shutdown, the statue of liberty reopened for business in the autumn, and visitors with stamina can once again climb the 277 steps to the top of its crown. but if you don't fancy the walk up, why not take in the views from the staten island ferry? the service runs several times an hour and it is free. if you are travelling in the spring, the brooklyn botanic garden offers a quiet refuge from the hustle and bustle of the city. its sprawling 52—acre grounds feature a variety of plants, flowers and trees, including their beautiful cherry blossoms, which are celebrated at an annual festival, usually held in april and early a may. and here is a fascinating

fact for you. in spite of all those famous movie scenes showing yellow new york taxis honking their horns when they are caught in trafficjams, it is actually illegal to honk your horn in frustration. 0k, still to come on the travel show: we find out what happens when chinese new year meets a scottish tradition. about an hour's flight south of cairo, hugging the banks of the river nile, lies the city of luxor. it used to be called thebes and was the capital of ancient egypt. among luxor�*s best—known treasures is the burial chamber of the boy king tutankhamen. last year was the centenary of its discovery in 1922,

and we were here to cover it for the travel show. incredible. absolutely astonishing. but we noticed that inside the tomb, the pharaoh's remains where every bit as popular as the beautifully restored chamber itself. and we wondered why. it was so amazing as you walk in to see it and to be able to actually see the body of someone who ruled so long ago. some people say it is intrusive. they're probably right, a dead body shouldn't be shown for people to see it, but i mean at the same time, this person used to be a king, so it

but it's notjust here. many mummies removed from the country by colonial powers still remain on public display around the world, and for some, that's unacceptable. they are presented, displayed as objects. they are artefacts, they are not humans. they lose their humanity once they are on display in a museum. it's not only disrespectful for the ancient egyptians, but it doesn't recognise the wishes of the dead. so this is the pitt rivers museum, and it was founded in 1881. up untiljuly 2020, we would have a display which is called the treatment of dead enemies. and that was full of human remains of different communities

in the world. so in 2020, we took the human remains off display, after quite an elaborate process of doing an ethical review of the museum. the museum has always received quite a bit of critique, from academics but also from indigenous people. we were seen as one of the most violent spaces in oxford. but if we can do this much more thoughtfully, if we can do it together with communities than there might be some really exciting possibilities. in london, the british museum has one of the earliest egyptian mummies. it's a long—standing and popular exhibit. i'm taking to show you the mummified remains of gebelein man, one of our predynastic mummies. which means he was naturally preserved by the aridity and heat of the desert. we think that the discovery of these natural mummies in ancient times would have inspired the egyptians to

develop mummification. there's a lot of interest in our mummified collection, actually all human remains provide a unique spectre. and often you see family groups gathering around mummified remains of a person and discussing topics which can be challenging. topics such as death, such as what the afterlife may represent to different cultures, and i think what museums provide is a safe space and a deep time perspective on issues that still affect us today. allows the public to engage with some of our findings and we embed information points. here there is what appears to be a cut and by virtually peeling away the soft tissue you can see that the cut goes into the muscle tissue.

what appears to have happened is that he was stabbed in the back and this probably is the cause of death. i think some of the most important feedback we got as the great majority of the visitors better understood him as a person, we hope and i think this was key for us. in recent years, ct scans and x—rays like these have allowed us to peer through thousands of years of history with minimal disturbance to the remains. it's important that people have consent on what happens to their bodies, that is integral, that is what makes you human. at least you have to have control over your own body and just because you died thousands of years ago, it doesn't mean that you lose the right of it, you lose the right to decide what should happen to your body after death.

right, next we're heading to scotland where thoughts at this time of the year turn to the iconic poet rabbie burns. across the country, people mark has birthday with a hearty meal and grounds of whisky. chinese new year is falling deliciously close to celebrations. january in scotland can be a driech affair. the days are short, the weather cold and wet. maybe that is why back in 1801 a group of friends came up with a way to celebrate our local bard robert burns or as he is known here, rabbie. it's probably scotland's most famous meal. so this is what you usually get at a traditional burns supper.

you've got mashed potatoes, neeps, and taking centre stage you got the beloved haggis. haggis has achieved near mythical for its often grotesque description of throwaway beef and lamb offal, spices and oats all bundled into a sheep's ali and boil for hours. but the spicy mince mixture is salty, meaty and delicious, and it's personally one of my favourite is to eat. in my family, burns night often coincides with another annual event, chinese new year, which takes place over for ten days at the beginning of the lunar calendar. like burns night, it's all about friends and family coming together or a massive feast, so my friends and i host our own special event and we call it

chinese burns, where we serve dishes from both cultures at the same time. i'm on the hunt for a culinary twist on the burns supper that will be the centrepiece of my next chinese burns evening. hello, how you doing? lovely to meet you. thanks for coming along. let's head down. absolutely. so, it's chinese new year and its burns night happening around the same time. what are we're going to make for the party? we will be making a haggis with spring rolls with a chilli whisky dip. that sounds delicious. first we have got a chinese root veg.

like potatoes but a wee bit nutty and sweet. obviously there is the haggis. i am would put some carrots in it. i am trying to recreate it with an asian twist. what are you cooking up first? the slow process of just peeling first. do you often try to incorporate traditional ingredients? yeah, whether it's aberdeen angus steak or a bramble dip as well, tasty stuff. with the vegetables peeled jimmy pops them into a steamer. he then slices the haggis and throws it into a wok. wok—fried haggis! there's a first for everything — that sounds brilliant. oh, look at that!

as well as our dual heritage, jimmy and i have something else in common. both of our parent ran chinese takeaway is. we've got a bit in common there! tight against it, so you can feel the haggis there. but even so, jimmy has definitely got the edge in has spring roll technique. mine looks like an envelope as opposed to a roll, i don't know what has gone wrong there, it looks like a purse! having made my contribution i'd leave it to jimmy to dry the roles and rustle up his chilli whisky dip. but we're still missing one key ingredient. a piper is a perfect accompaniment to any burns supper, however unconventional it might be. wow! look at that, it looks amazing!

let's dig in, shall we? that so good! that's so tasty! i can actually taste the haggis which is surprising, i thought may get lost in here but it's really nice. i am going to have two add this to my chinese burns night. shall we raise a spirit to raise spirits? thanks, nick. what a delicious—looking feast to end on. join us next week when we are in nigeria and the uk looking at looted artefacts. thousands of benin bronzes were seized by the british over a century ago and scattered over the west. now some places are giving them back. for us, it's the right thing to do and it is for the people whose heritage this is. in the meantime, do check out our pages on social media.

there's all sorts of great travel content there from around the bbc, but that's it for now. see you next time and goodbye. hello. the weather going into the weekend has quite a settled flavour to it, but i can still bring you in weather for the week ahead. news of strong winds and a bit of snow in the forecast as well. unlike everything we had during friday, which was pretty quiet, if rather cloudy. we've got an area of high pressure to the southwest of the uk that's giving a lot of settled weather, though, as we go through the weekend. low pressure to the north of scotland will strengthen the winds here and bring in some wet

weather and there'll be more areas of low pressure where that came from in the week ahead. but for saturday, not too much out there to affect outdoor plans. a thicker cloud through parts of northern england, wales and the midlands may produce a bit of patchy drizzle. a few fog patches to the south of that slow to clear in the morning after what will be a frosty start. northern counties of northern england, northern ireland and scotland, sunny spells, the odd shower in northern scotland and not much to choose between those temperatures north to south across the uk as the weekend gets under way. so here comes an area of low pressure, then, across way to the north of scotland. but weather fronts coming into scotland with strengthening winds for part two of the weekend on sunday, not as cold, not as much frost around, but stronger winds, certainly with gales and into the northern isles could see some gusts of 60 miles an hour as we see a band of wet weather moving into scotland, northern ireland, far north of england. later in the day, south of that increasing cloud, probably the best of the sunny spells will be across east anglia in the southeast and the far north of scotland.

once that rain band has moved on through as an area of low pressure moves away in its wake, there'll be one cold front moving south with not much rain on it at all, and further bands of showers spreading down across northern areas overnight and into monday, giving some snow into the hills in scotland. although those showers, though, die away quite quickly on monday, as will the strong wind, too, as the area of high pressure starts to just bulge back in for a time, although another weather front will bring some outbreaks of rain towards northwest scotland again later on monday. so the high pressure gets squeezed away again by this next area of low pressure. this one a stronger feature heading towards again the north of scotland during tuesday. this one gets a little bit nearer as well. now, from it, you see plenty of showers on tuesday. and again in scotland, these are going to be wintry in nature, especially into the hills, maybe the hills of northern england and northern ireland as well. the wind strengthening across the uk. and we could well later on tuesday see some quite stormy conditions across the far north of scotland, maybe some gusts around

70 miles an hour or so into the northern isles. that's something to be aware of because that could bring some travel disruption. again, that's from this area of low pressure, which going into wednesday will will pull away. and we see another frontal system moving in in its wake during wednesday, most focused towards the northern half of the uk, with some showery outbreaks of rain and further wintry showers again coming in. any snow tending to be on the higher ground. the further south you are, it's a drier looking story and it will be a chill. the wind and the wintry showers in scotland, but still the further south you are just getting into double figures. the area of high pressure has another go but building back in across the uk to give us what at the moment looks like a largely settled end to the week ahead into the first part of the weekend before it looks like further weather systems from the atlantic will squeeze that away again and start to bring some wetter, windy conditions our way. although, overall temperatures look to be fairly close to if not a bit above the average for the time of year as the week concludes. and that's your latest

weather for the week ahead.
