be limited because it will eventually turn milder and any hill snow will eventually turn back to rain as milder air works in.

this is bbc news, the headlines... presenters have refused to appear on more bbc sport shows in solidarity with gary lineker. there's been be reduced coverage of the women's super league and the same will apply to match of the day 2. talks continue to try to resolve the dispute between the bbc and lineker. the row is over impartiality, after the sports presenter criticised the government over its asylum bill. british prime minister rishi sunak has said he recognises the "anxiety" over the collapse of silicon valley bank. he insisted his government is working to find a solution to secure customers�* liquidity and cashflow needs. the uk's prime minister rishi sunak is flying to san diego, for talks on defence with the us and australian leaders. it's understood they'll discuss ways of dealing with any security threats

posed by china in the asia—pacific region at the meeting of the aukus group. now it's time for the travel show. this week, a look back at some of our most fascinating historicaljourneys. from the desert canyons ofjordan... that would be impressive if we built that 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 right 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 under your foot. and the noise of the car, 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 this 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, 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 they called the tin snail will keep ploughing its own furrow in slow lanes everywhere. krista there 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 called the nabatea ns. 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 to stop anyone sneaking in and taking over. it is just breathtaking. at the end of the seekh 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 in all ofjordan. but having all of these people can bring problems. the delicate rocks are easily damaged by tourists touching the monuments or walking off the designated trails, especially in places where excavations are under way.

but now, there is a project aiming at getting tourists themselves involved with conservation of the monuments, to help protect one of the most threatened sites in the whole of petra. this is the temple of the wind lions, a religious complex built in around 27 ad. i like your office. i like what you have done with it. a beautiful place. glen 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 wonderfuljob of preserving it forfuture generations. when you excavate a monument

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 specialists who actually work and train and work with the local community and notjust have them help with day labour but giving them tangible locational skills to help them preserve the site in the years to come. the idea is then the locals then train tourists to help out too. we will have them 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? whoo!

this is an interesting route to get down 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 sieving all of the dust and looking for things. can i have a go? i was 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 normal stones. doesn't look very valuable. 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. 0k, 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. wow! 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 to come, including...

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 an orphaned 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 mauru national park to find out more. this park is virtually unchanged since george and joy 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 reminder of what elsa may have been doing here in the national park.

she was lovely, never had to shout. just yell, come, boy, boy... jonny baxendale, 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 tamarind tree with warm beers. it does not take long for the memories to come flooding back. just being with him and being able to work with him and see how he absolutely handled his lions. how relaxed he was. 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 has dominated 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

among the first to check it out. there are three primary areas of the museum. people will come and go into the immersive theatre then 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 sort of thing you can think of. in 1885, it was shipped in 350 individual 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. now 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 its 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, _ it's 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 it 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 to piece and thenl all of a sudden - you have got 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 divided not just the city but families, nations and superpowers.

stretching over 80 miles, it was built to separate the communist east and the capitalist west. but 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 targeted defiant, anti—authoritarian punks. 0n multiple occasions, chaos was imprisoned and brutally beaten. back then, the intense scrutiny of the stasi meant that

gigs often had to be held in the most unlikely of locations. this is the place. 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? absolutely. don't you just love that? history told to us by people who were actually there making things happen. coming up next time, the story of a magnificent mountain

mont st michel in northern france it is celebrating its millennium. i compare it to being thejewel and the bay the box. so that is the jewel in the box. you have it all. i headed 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 around the bbc. see you soon. hello there.

it's a much milder day today, thanks to south—westerly winds. those winds have brought a big jump in temperatures. yesterday, for example, just three degrees in balmoral. and for most of us, it was a cold day. today, temperatures widely into double figures, but that's set in place a rapid thaw. indeed, there's a lot of places that had snow yesterday where the snow is completely melted away, but it's still hanging on across northern scotland. we do have some colder air that's going to hang around here for much of the week ahead with some snow in the forecast as well. now, overnight tonight, outbreaks of rain will push northwards across the country. it's going to be quite a windy night and very mild temperatures, double figures for most. but notice the colder air hanging around in northern scotland, where we're looking at some frost. tomorrow, the area of low pressure still with us, bringing a windy spell of weather. the winds coming in from a south westerly direction. the rain easing to blustery showers, but with gale force gusts of wind quite widely across england

and wales, gusts could be strong enough to bring down one or two tree branches. now, temperatures with those south—westers still on the mild side, 10 to 13 degrees, england and wales, about eight for northern ireland. but notice colder air sinking southwards again in scotland. and indeed we are going to see some further hill snow here with some significant accumulations above 200 metres elevation. some of the higher hills could see five to ten centimetres. and then as we go through monday night, the cold air moves southwards. we see a risk of a few centimetres of snow over the hills of northern ireland, northern england and wales as well, leaving a legacy of icy conditions into tuesday as this colder air dives southwards across the uk. so, tuesday will be a really cold day compared to the last couple. plenty of sunshine around, a few wintry showers across north western areas. some accumulating snow again in the hills of northern scotland. but the temperatures is what you'll notice. we're not looking at double— figure temperatures. instead, two to seven degrees, but feeling colder than that in those brisk winds. wednesday, a cold, frosty start again. there should be some sunshine, a few snow showers for northern scotland, but then a band of rain moves in off

the atlantic and you might see a spell of hill snow here working across northern ireland and potentially through wednesday night and into thursday hill snow for a time across northern england and scotland, although impacts may be limited because it will eventually turn milder and any hill snow will eventually turn back to rain as milder air works in.
