this week, a look back at some of our most fascinating historicaljourneys. from the desert canyons ofjordan, that would be impressive if we both like today but that was built thousands of years ago. look at it. to the noisy streets of paris. driving in a city car is not easy, driving in paris is not easy. and from the majesty of lady liberty. it stood for freedom and for liberty for people all over the world. to the drama of the kenyan bush. hi and welcome to paris,

where i am soaking up the sun on the banks of the river seine. it is lovely. both of the left bank and right banks are unesco world heritage sites. the left is famous for inspiring generations of artists and intellectuals while the rate is home to the world's most visited museum, the louvre. and with all of this heritage to soak up here, it is the perfect setting to take an amble down memory lane. and let's begin right here in paris. in 2018 one of the classics of the french car industry turned 70. and kristin managed to get behind the wheel to give it a spin. i will definitely need a lesson. guided tours around paris. now where is the gear stick? it is there.

so you just turn that. if you want to get into the first one, full and that is first. push and that is second. this is very unusual. this may take... please excuse me if we bunny hop up the street. driving a 2cv feels very different to any kind of modern car. you could feel the engine underfoot. and the noise of the car and it is very physical and it is not a car that goes very fast, but that is not the goal. it is a very tentative experience. there is no sitting back and letting the car doing its work. exactly. on the left this is the louvre museum. is there something that you think is part of the french identity?

yes of course with the baguette and the stripes. 0h, we will have to stop for a baguette. you are very brave because driving a 2cv car is not easy. driving in paris is not easy. and driving in paris for the first time in a 2cv car in paris is not easy. there are no airbags at the windows are not electric and for ac, let's just say it is pretty rudimentary. but for some reason the french really seen to love the 2cv. as long as that remains the case the car that is called the tin snail will keep ploughing its own furrow in slow lanes everywhere. krista at the wheel of an absolute classic right here in paris back in 2018. right, let's cross over to a completely different part

of the world now as we transport you to the brisket northern coastlines of europe to the dust and sand of southern jordan. petra is one of the world's most famous archaeological sites, carved out of the desert 2000 years ago it was built by a local tribe. in 2016 i went to see efforts to protect this ancient site from the elements and from tourists like me. this split in the rocks is called the sink and was the only entrance in and out of the city and it would have been heavily guarded from stopping anyone sneaking in and taking over. it is just breathtaking.

at the end of the seek is the most famous part of petra, the treasury. an elaborate temple carved from the sandstone. just take a look around and you can see how popular this place is. it is the most visited and all ofjordan. having all of these people can bring problems. the delicate rocks are easily damaged by tourists touching the monuments or walking off off the designated trails, especially in places where excavations are under way. but now, there is a project aiming at getting towards themselves involved with conservation of the monuments to help protect one

this is the temple of the wind lions, a religious complex built in around 27 ad. i like your office. a beautiful place. this man is in charge of the site and started by telling unit of the problems when the temple was first excavated. they recovered this place but did not do a wonderful job of preserving it forfuture generations. when you excavate a mine you have to pull a lot of dirt out of the ground to reveal itself as the earlier project on the lot of the earth and as you see we are trying to re—excavate those earlier archaeological dumps. the dumps are huge mounds of compressed earth which will take years to sort through.

at the moment, there is a team of local people tackling this mammoth task. we have a specialists who actually work and trains with the local community and not just have them help with the labour but giving them tangible skills to help them preserve the site in the years to come. the idea is then the locals trained tourists to help out too. working out on soil dumps looking for pottery and coins that the original excavation missed. to actually have the experience doing archaeology for the day. i'm ready to test my skills. ready? this is an interesting route to get on here! so tell me what you're doing.

these two both grew up in petra and have become experts at sorting through the material here. so you're basically saving all of the dust and looking for things. can i have a go? i was honestly enjoying tasting the dust but now... he shows me the sort of thing that they are looking for. we don't need to keep these stones. this is a part of the original people. so that would be very, very old? 2,000 years old. let's see if i can find any treasures. stand back. let the master get to work. is that cool? let's look. that's stone. i'm terrible. i can't find anything. i might not be having much luck but over the last few years, they have found all sorts here. painted pottery, coins, lamps and decorations from the temple. now, as more pieces are retrieved and catalogued, it is hoped we can learn more about the everyday lives

of the people who built this incredible city more than 2,000 years ago. that brought back some lovely memories of pushing around that ancient city. even though it was a bit bumpy on my wheels. imagining what that beautiful place must have looked like all of those years ago. right. don't go anywhere because we have loads more still the secrets of lady liberty and the new museum sitting at her feet. now for the piece de resistance. the original stood up there from 1886 to 1984. and how punk helped bring down the berlin wall.

make sure you don't go away. just behind me is the iconic notre dame. sadly, we cannot take you inside because it is still undergoing repairs after that devastating fire back in 2019. so why don't we take you somewhere completely different. like kenya. we are off on safari in memory of one of history's most famous lions. elsa was made a star in the movie born free which hit the big screens in 1966.

it was based on a book byjoy adamson and her husband's attempt to rescue a lion cub and train it for life in the wild. so back in 2015 we sent henry, our very own hollywood movie star, to the national park to find out more. this park is virtually unchanged since they were last here. really lucky because we have come across a lioness and her cub. they have just feasted and have just nestled under a tree for some shade. just a taste of what elsa may have been doing here in the national park. she was lovely, never have to see us shout. just yell, come!

george's godson helped turn the born free lions to the wild but used to come back out to their favourite haunts for regular visits. never felt in any danger? never. we knew very well that they would walk up to us and greet us and the most amazing way. the pair used to sit under the tree with warm beers. it does not take long for memories to come flooding back. just being with him and being able to work with him and see how he absolutely handled his lions. he had this amazing rapport with his environment. he was in total harmony with his environment. this is the born free country,

where it all happened. this is where she died, elsa. memories of elsa the lion from back in 2015. what a cool story that was. time to go from the plains of africa to the razzmatazz of new york. and one old lady who has been watching over the city for well over a century. the statue of liberty is dominating the new york harbour since 1886, a gift from the people of france. in 2019 a brand—new museum in her honour opened. lucy got the early ferry to liberty island to be one of the first to check it out. there are three primary areas of the museum. people will come and go into the immersive theatre than they will move on to the engagement gallery which is where we are standing now, and the engagement gallery is primarily the history of the statue of liberty. its beginning and then how it became the symbol of america. now it is used in every thing you can think of.

in 1885 it was shipped in 350 individuals pieces over to new york where it was reassembled and unveiled to the american public the next year. then you finish with the inspiration gallery. for the piece de resistance — the original torch. the original torch stood up there from 1886 to 1984.

talk to me about how difficult it was to get the torch in here. well... i didn't have to do it. it was quite a task. people worked for around two weeks from three in the afternoon to three at night and they had this carrier that they laid the face on the back and then put the torch on it. and it all worked quite well and here it is. martin and his team have been in charge of conserving and cleaning the torch. today is the last day, - the clean from the top down. so as they are finishing upi the lighting fixtures inside, myjob is then the final clean—down

of everything that falls down. - it isjust a simple cotton cloth. just trying to get - the heavy things out. just getting rid of that dirt. cleaning job is never done. i think is quite impressive how much detail there is on something that really was not designed to be seen close up. just the detail is so intricate. it is pretty amazing how it all comes together. . part to part, piece . by piece and then all of a sudden you have a torch. it's so iconic and you think about its history and how it stood for freedom and for liberty. to people all over the world. it really is a remarkable piece of work. the museum is free to all visitors of liberty island.

lucy on liberty island in 2019. now to one of my personal historical highlights on a trip to germany that same year. it had been exactly 30 years since the fall of the berlin wall. the structure that had been dividing not just the city but families, nations and superpowers. stretching over 80 miles, built to separate the communist east and the capitalist west. i was there to find out how amongst other things, an energetic underground punk scene helped to bring about its demise.

chaos was the frontman for one of the scene's top bands. east germany's secret police, the stasi regularly

defiant, anti—authoritarian punks. 0n multiple occasions chaos was imprisoned and brutally beaten. back then, the intense scrutiny of the stasi meant that gigs gigs also had to be held in the most unlikely of locations. wow! this is pretty spectacular. yeah, it's a church. i can't imagine hundreds of punks coming to a church for a concert. yeah, with hundreds of beer.

what was the vibe and energy like in here? when you think about those times, those difficult times during the gdr period

when you were intimidated by the stasi and the problems you had amongst the people in the streets, would you do it again? don't you just love that? history told to us by people who were actually there coming up next time, the story of a

magnificent mountain in northern france it is celebrating its millennium. so that is the jewel in the box. you have it all. i had there to take a peek behind the scenes and find out how things have changed their and all of those years. until then, you can follow us on social media where at all of the usual places as well as lots of good travel content from the bbc. see you then. bye— bye. hello. milderairand a thaw is on the way for tomorrow. but for today, well, later on we could see some snow again. parts of northern england into scotland, more especially on the hills, the chance of some disruption, again, nowhere disruption again, nowhere centimetres, lower ground more hit and miss. and it's all because this weather front is going to be pushing into the colder air that we have at the moment where the front�*s already been

producing rain or drizzle across parts of south west england, south wales, increasingly so in northern ireland too. a little bit of sleet and snow of the higher ground before that turns back to rain and into the afternoon parts of north west england, the midlands towards central southern england, even the south east could see some rain arrive. away from that though many other parts will be dry. just the odd snow flurry in scotland. chilly day for most, 11, 12 degrees across the south west and into the channel islands. now, through this evening and overnight as that rain pushes away northwards, turns east easily to snow, as i said, across the hills of northern england and scotland, even to lower levels before turning back to rain later on. and what we'll see later in the night is temperatures actually rising rather than falling. this is how it looks as we start sunday morning. so a much milder start to sunday compared with this morning.

the weather front still producing some rain, sleet and snow in the north east of scotland to begin with. and ahead of the next one, we're into a quieter spell for a while, but then those south to south westerly winds pick up and the milder air really does start to work its way in. so some of the drier conditions will be during the morning for many. but northern ireland and scotland quickly seeing outbreaks of rain develop more widely as we go through the day. some rain into the north west of england, wales and the south west later on, good part of central eastern england, those staying dry into the afternoon, the breeze a south to south westerly one. and look at the temperatures to finish sunday, maybe up to 13, 1a and sunday, some sunny spells, often large amounts of cloud into the afternoon, the breeze a south to south westerly one. and look at the temperatures to finish sunday, maybe up to 13, 1a degrees. in the south and east a thaw setting in a risk of some minorflooding, too, especially when we see more wet and increasingly windy weather spread its way in through sunday night and into monday. so for monday, whilst we could still see some snow in the higher ground of northern scotland for most outbreaks of rain coming and going through the day, some heavy thundery showers in the south west. winds will be touching

gale force if not more. 60 mile an hour winds across the north of scotland, same too towards the south. it will be a pretty windy day for all on monday, but across southern areas, a pretty mild one. a chilly one, though, in the far north of scotland. see you again soon.

a this is bbc news broadcasting in the uk and around the globe. i'm annita mcveigh and these are the latest headlines... the bbc�*s football schedule is in disarray as on—air staff from various programmes pull out of saturday's shows in support of presenter gary lineker who was told to "step back". the corporation says it is upholding impartiality rules but the opposition labour party accuses bosses of bowing to government pressure. i think one of our founding principles is impartiality, that is what we are delivering on. somebody has been effectively _ what we are delivering on. somebody has been effectively cancelled - what we are delivering on. somebody has been effectively cancelled as - what we are delivering on. somebody has been effectively cancelled as a i has been effectively cancelled as a bbc presenter for expressing a view that the _ bbc presenter for expressing a view that the government of the day did not like _ that the government of the day did not like. and i think that is a very
