this is bbc news. we will have the headlines and all the main news stories for you at the top of the hour as newsday continues straight after the travel show. this week on the travel show... the holiday videos you didn't know you were making. i feel angry about it. i don't like being watched all the time. i think it's good for the security. through departures with a guide dog... this is the moment of truth. olga's first aeroplane experience. plus, life as a laird. why it's been boom time for scottish castles. my great—grandfather built this house for entertaining. around the world, technology

has become integrated into our lives and no more so than in travel. we've got smart check—ins forflights, facial recognition, passport control, and even translation apps to help you read menus. a lot of this is designed to make our lives easier, but this technology also creates something even more valuable — data. the holy grail for tourist chiefs is knowing exactly what visitors think about their attractions — something a bit more

sophisticated than a simple 0&a sample survey. well, this city thinks it's cracked that because earlier this year, malaga introduced a new kind of technology which gives them a clearer idea of what people are doing and feeling. malaga in spain is one of the top tourist sites in europe, with wonderful beaches, fantastic food, and over a0 museums. it attracts travellers from across the continent. sunday morning, and these narrow streets are absolutely crammed with tourists from all around the world. malaga is definitely a hot destination. malaga had a strong resurgence after the pandemic, with large numbers of people heading to its beaches. to ensure that they stayed safe and didn't become overcrowded, the city introduced some technology to count how many people were around, by using a network of cameras across the city. we were very good at analysing

prior to pandemic what's happening in the city, but we wanted to move forward to emotions. we wanted to know, is it possible to know the emotions of the people, once in the city? is it possible to know their feelings? to do this, they introduced the new image recognition technology, which can capture people's faces, analyse the results in real time, and, they claim, work out how people are feeling. they can then address why some experiences aren't as good as others. the company behind the technology is goli neuromarketing. we have an intelligent, artificial brain that transform at real time the image of a camera to data. inside, they set up a demonstration of how the technology works. you're now going to give me some ideas, images, and i'm going to react.

sagrada familia. that reminds me of barcelona, which is a lovely city. look at that. happiness rocks straight up, but that's because i'm smiling, maybe. but very high on the happiness scale for sagrada familia. 0k. a cup of coffee! yeah, yeah. that actually beats the sagrada familia! they laugh so i'd rather have a cup of coffee right now, then see the sagrada familia — it causes me more happiness. i'm sure that's not true. their toolkit currently identifies the age of visitors and can tell which country people's phones come from, which allows them then to build up a picture of which nationalities are visiting the city. of course, i totally get why tourist chiefs want to know more about how visitors feel about their destination. and, as a tourist, of course i want a better experience. the question is, how far should that go? how would you feel if you knew

that there were cameras watching you right now to see how happy you are as a tourist? i think i would feel exactly the same i am feeling now. ok, because there are two cameras there doing that very thing. 0k. you don't think that's an invasion of your privacy? no, no. i think it's good for the security. i feel angry about it. i don't like being watched all the time. erm, it's not comfortable. what are they doing with that data? with that information? although people's opinions on being observed are split, what is clear is that they're unaware of the technology being used. and this does raise some privacy issues, which i put to the head of tourism. there are safety and security cameras everywhere in the world. safety and security, i understand. i don't want to be mugged or attacked. that's fine, so i accept that. but giving you information, which i don't know where that information goes, without me knowing, some people might say, "hmm, i'm not sure about that".

this is something that is happening for a long time in the retail malls, for example — in some luxury brands we all know, they have in the mirrors, they have inside these emotional sensors already for a long time. i think it's something that in the future, many more cities will have because it's super valuable information. both the city and the technology companies say that all the data is anonymous, and no images are recorded, in order to protect individual identities. malaga is wholeheartedly embracing this technology, which they say will boost their appeal as a tourist destination. and so far, the software highlights two spots that people seem to love in malaga the most. top score in terms of happiness goes to the viewpoint overlooking the city, where smiles are just off the chart. but it's the park opposite the roman amphitheatre at dusk, where people's faces apparently say they just don't want to leave. and if you're planning a trip to malaga in the near future,

here are some of the things we think you ought to know. in a city with so much rich history, the moorish alcazaba palace fortress is worth a look. it was first built in the 11th century, and its passageways and gardens show off a mix of roman, arab and renaissance styles. there's not much information on offer, so if you're a history lover, it might be worth paying extra for the tour. there are roughly iakm of beach in the city, well served by public transport, and with good facilities. many have their own distinct character. malagueta and san andres, for example, are pretty lively. but our tip is el palo,

said to be more popular with locals than tourists, which has fine sand, shallow waters and plenty of shade. and, while you're on the beach, how about sardines for lunch? espetos, orsardine skewers, are incredibly popular with locals. they're usually dirt cheap and super fresh, thanks to the city's port and daily fish market. a little tip — those who know claim the sardines are best eaten in the months that don't have an r in the name. right, well, there's still lots more to come up on the show, including... on �*oliday with olga — how a guide dog gets on board. where are you travelling to today, madam? we're travelling to edinburgh. and, the low key pleasures of life in a scottish castle. gong clangs dinner is served! right, we're dipping into our archives next.

airports can be confusing places at the best of times, but how would you navigate your way onto a plane without your sense of sight? well, in the uk in 2021, guide dogs for the blind celebrated its 90th anniversary. so we thought it an excellent time to ask blind traveller lucy edwards exactly how it's done. before the age of 17, i had usable vision. i would go out and about without a guide dog, without a cane, feeling quite free. where are you travelling to today, madam? we're travelling to edinburgh. i didn't really have many concerns about where i was going, or... i didn't feel anxious at all. and what brought about my anxiety was feeling disabled by the world. i had a huge knock in confidence.

i didn't want to leave the house, let alone leave the country. and i think that's why only now, seven years down the line, i am tackling plane journeys because i feel 0k enough to want to go to other places. it's honestly so mentally draining. after going to a new place as a blind person, when you've never been there before, and i think that's why, when i'm in an airport situation, i have to just say, "0h, could you please help me?" you're in what looks like a - shopping centre at the moment. so you've got lots of people around. it feels really busy, yeah. it's really important to not feel overwhelmed in airport situations. with a guide dog, you have to rely on your partnership together to get around, and you have to admit to yourself as a blind person, "yeah, i'm not going to know everywhere that i am today." initially, when you're doing something like that, it's daunting. can we squeeze through, guys? yeah, sure.

thank you. yeah, that was just too busyj for her to get you through... and then you can i carry on from there. i could feel that she didn't know where she was going... yeah. ..through the harness. that got very congested. that's when i get most anxious — when it's that crowded. i think from my point of view as well, because we're learning and i'm with you, i think that takes quite a lot of the stress, to try and navigate those areas that we have just navigated. yeah, yeah. but it's. .. ah, she's rolling around on her back with her legs in the air! i i think the main challenge will be getting up the steps and the loud noises of the aircraft. because i'm doing it with michaela for the first time, you know, hopefully that will make both of us less anxious. here's 0lga's aeroplane bag,

ready for the flight. everything's in here. collapsible dog bowl, blanket, a bone to make her feel chilled out. and quite an important thing — her restraining harness. she can't actually use her guide dog official harness on the plane to restrain her because this bit of her seat belt needs to click into the aeroplane belts so she's safe. this is the moment of truth. 0lga's first aeroplane experience. a bit nervous. we've got to get her restraining harness on so she's secure and fastened to the plane. we don't know how it's going to be, her walking up the steps, but it should be good. exciting stuff. i'm so relieved that she's 0k, and she's just been chewing the bone the whole flight. that's why i was able to have a bit of breakfast because i thought, she's fine. sigh of relief. we're all good. guide dog 0k, human 0k. now, when i think of going on holiday as a non—sighted

person, i think that i would love to explore the culture, the wine, the cheese, the food, the different languages, the smells, the touch. just a whole sensory experience, really. today has been a real eye opener, if you'll pardon the pun. i have really enjoyed myself. i think the assistance was amazing, and now i know that 0lga isn't going to be anxious on a plane and she loves it, and she can chew her bone, i am going to go on a lot more planejourneys, and ijust feel so much more happy to embark on a journey, and ifeel liberated. thank you, bye! see you, bye! all right? you've got a little step down there. | 0k, got you. and then you're just come coming off that grid... - good!

finally this week, with the coronation coming up in the uk very soon, we thought this a perfect occasion to talk castles. did you know that since covid, estate agents have seen a boom in people interested in buying an ancient scottish pile? well, we sent william lee adams to investigate. there are more than 2,000 castles still standing in scotland. from ancient ruins to modern day fixer uppers. according to the estate agents savills, it's the most searched for term on their website. since the start of the pandemic, interest has soared in country living as people flee cities and try to escape the crowds. that search for space and fresh air is a reality here in scotland, where you can have your very own castle, if you've got the money for it. this is baltersan castle, a 16th century tower home, 50 miles southwest of glasgow. it's safe to say it's in need

of some serious restoration. james bought it in 1992 with great hopes to restore it back to its former glory. but finding the right investor has been hard. now, this...the stairwell — very wide for the period. it all speaks of good design and speaks of wealth. you would ascend these stairs. you wouldn't climb — you would ascend. james, what was your vision when you purchased the castle? oh, i could see it. that's the... that's the problem. it's a burden if you have vision. because i could see the walls, the painted decoration, the tapestries. it's the old story of a boyhood dream. some people want train sets. i wanted a castle, at the age of five. so this brings us into the kitchen area, the wine cellar, the storage for meat, and this wonderful arch here is a very common feature.

and that fire that would have been in there for the cooking was kept on all the time because stone is like a storage heater. there's a 16th century mill. there's an 18th century croft house down here. there's the 16th century tower and a 13th century abbey. they should be linked as a linear tourist destination. i can tell this place it brings you a lot ofjoy. you light up when you talk about it. but on some level, do you ever regret having purchased it? never. no, absolutely never. it's magic. it's the sense of place that just an ordinary ruined building doesn't have. there's a spirit in this place. i don't care if i don't restore it, but it should be restored by somebody — the next custodian, not owner. 0n face value, owning a castle

could cost less than a studio apartment in london. cameron's been in the business of selling grand country homes for the past 15 years. well, if you take the example of the one behind me here, . there's obviously a lot of work to do. - this is a property on the i buildings at risk register. it's category a listed, - so there will be restrictions in what you can and can't do. materials that - you've got to use. so there are limitations and i considerations that also have significant cost implications. do people have any misconceptions when they start their search for a castle? yes. the first thing to - highlight is they don't all come with a title. many people assume that - you become lord of the manor, but it's sometimes not the case _ but what happens if your family already has the castle? how do you keep it from becoming a financial drain? nice to meet you. so lovely to meet you. welcome! nice to meet you. this is quite the welcome! hello. all: hello! ali's family has lived on these grounds since the 1500s... ..though his great—grandfather

built this place at the turn of the 20th century, moving the family out of the now ruined castle. the couple met in vietnam and lived in the us before moving back to ali's ancestral home eight years ago. what was the state of the place when you first saw it? it was winter when i first arrived and saw the place for the very first time. the blinds were drawn. there were so many dust sheets on tables and furniture. everything was really dark. had a bit of a morgue feel to it, to be honest. so, this room is particularly personal to me because it is very much based on my idea of victoriana meets east asian. the estate had mostly welcomed hunting parties. anne wanted to move away from that tradition and focus on other types of gatherings,

like weddings, though it needed a major revamp. we have done about 48 bedrooms, 15 kitchens... i am not a designer. i don't know anything about interior design and i had to learn very quickly and i made a lot of mistakes. i think that itself is overwhelming, but it is also like running a business and recruiting, and raising really young children. i mean, there were moments in our lives between ali and i where we were on the brink of divorce, i know for sure. and that's my _ great—grandmother there. that's my great—grandfather up there~ _ he was the guy that built this place. - a lot of people dream of owning a castle and they don't think through the reality. do you have any advice for potential buyers? if you are thinking about doing anything

like this and your first motivation is profitability... ..it is not going to work. i love my husband and this is me, you know, helping to fulfil his dream. and ali, it was so... it was significantly easier for him to be motivated to do this project because it is his ancestral home. they get a lot of guests from abroad, including from the us, and they all want that castle experience. cheering and laughing. it's fair to say everything is over the top, but the american in me loves it. oh, there we go. 0k... muffled speech great view i of the castle here on my back. i think it's game overfor me. dinner soon comes around, but before we sit down, anne says she has a little surprise.

what? what is this?! this is for you to pick out your outfit for dinner. 0k. this was obviously for me. the fairies in south—west scotland are working tonight! i think you should. oh, my god. that is so you. gong clangs part of. the experience involves an outrageous dinner party with the guests. dinner is served! what would your ancestors think about what's going on tonight? i think they liked fun nights. well, you know, my- great—grandfather built this house for entertaining. but i'm curious, when anne married you and moved here and suggested these

changes, how did that sit with you? actually, it was fine, and i wouldn't have i done it without her. so it was good to have that breath of fresh air. - 0wning and running a castle as a tourist attraction is not for the faint—hearted. but if you can make it work, it's not a bad life. well, that, sadly, is all for this week. but, coming up next time... ..we're re—living some of our favourite trips to greece, from the time ade followed in the footsteps of hercules by taking a dip in some legendary open—air baths... goddess athena created these springs for her favourite hero. i think it's quite fitting for someone like me. ..to when christa joined the crew of a replica ancient greek galley to get a taste of life at sea 2,500 years ago. until then, you can find us on the bbc iplayer, and on social media too.

we're in all the usual places, along with lots of other great travel content from around the bbc. but for now, from me, rajan datar, and the rest of the travel show team here in malaga, thanks for watching and goodbye. hello. the bank holiday weekend is upon us, and the weather is looking a little mixed, but, you know, overall, it's not going to be too bad. plenty of sunny spells in the forecast, but one or two showers, and some of them could be heavy. let's have a look at the big picture. across our neck of the woods,

so a low pressure in the north atlantic, a large one, and it's helping to draw in a warm atmosphere from the southern climes. infact, milderair coming all the way from the azores. but the very far north of scotland, under the influence of a colder current of air from the north. so here is the forecast for the early morning, for saturday, and it's a sort of mild—ish start to the day. it's certainly not frosty out there, 5—10 celsius in some spots. a lot of cloud in the morning, first thing, particularly across the northern half of the uk. and then showers are expected to develop from wales, the midlands, the north west of england, certainly in northern ireland, maybe one or two in scotland as well. the best of the sunshine and the warmest weather will be across the south. take a look at these temperatures, 19 or 20 celsius in london, about that as far west as cardiff. but in scotland, chilly, only 7 celsius expected in aberdeen. in fact, it will be chilly right along the north sea coast. here's a look at sunday, i think there'll be quite a few showers around,

hit and miss, sure, but some thunderstorms are possible in northern ireland, so there could be some downpours. again, the best of the weather on sunday further towards the south and east, temperatures in the high teens, but more typically, it'll be around about 15—16 celsius. so that's the end of sunday. how about the bank holiday itself? well, overall, again, not looking bad for most of us. high pressure is close by, particularly out towards the west. but weather fronts also affecting the north of scotland, and also showers are in the forecast for east anglia in the south east. and, again, there could be one or two downpours. so after a sunny saturday and sunday, showers on the cards for london and the south east. elsewhere, variable amounts of cloud and actually not looking too bad at all. look at that, 17 celsius in newcastle, around 16 celsius in belfast. let's have a look at the outlook then for the week ahead. so here's that little mixed weekend, and then into next week, i think the temperatures will ease somewhat, but overall the weather isn't looking too bad. bye— bye.

live from washington. this is bbc news. south korean president yoon suk—yeol wraps up his visit to the us, we take a look at the landmark nuclear deal. we'll dive into reaction to yoon's trip from china and around the region. and we'll tackle the $2.5 billion netflix investment in south korea. we start here in washington, where president biden spent the week hosting the south korean president yoon suk—yeol for discussions that have global consequences. the two presidents met with the nuclear threat from north korea high on their agenda. south korea and the us laid out a new agreement called
