in 1953, edmund hillary of new zealand and tenzing norgay, a sherpa of nepal, reached the summit of mount everest for the first time in recorded history. it stands at 8,81i9m — that's 20,000 feet — on the border of nepal and china. we are joined by nick hollis, founder of fitways adventures. he has also climbed the the highest mountain on every continent, including everest. really good to have you with us on the programme. thank you forjoining us. what is it like up there? it is us. what is it like up there? it is a really mixed _ us. what is it like up there? it is a really mixed bag. _ us. what is it like up there? it 3 a really mixed bag. the expedition itself is a long expedition, and obviously really starts at base camp, just below 5500 metres. things change as you gain height, but in terms of on the summit itself, it's an extraordinary experience. to be

that high, to be the height of an airlinejet, it's gradually that high, to be the height of an airline jet, it's gradually called. my airline jet, it's gradually called. my climb had strong winds as well. and you just realise as a human being how insignificant you are. at that altitude, nature wins every time. . . ., , , that altitude, nature wins every time. .,, , ., ~ time. the achievement as it is, talk to me about — time. the achievement as it is, talk to me about the _ time. the achievement as it is, talk to me about the preparation - time. the achievement as it is, talk to me about the preparation that i to me about the preparation that goes into it, because there are months and months and months of training. talk me through what you have to do to get in any shape to do the sort of stuff. to have to do to get in any shape to do the sort of stuff.— the sort of stuff. to be honest, the preparation — the sort of stuff. to be honest, the preparation is _ the sort of stuff. to be honest, the preparation is years _ the sort of stuff. to be honest, the preparation is years as _ the sort of stuff. to be honest, the preparation is years as opposed - the sort of stuff. to be honest, the preparation is years as opposed to | preparation is years as opposed to months in order to gain the experience, to be able to operate safely on that mountain. for me, it was quite interesting, because i was working in the mountains as a day job, my fitness was not an issue for me. and in fact, before flying out, i actually cut back on my training and tried to put on a bit of it, because the thing with everest as

it's potentially a two month expedition. you want to peek at the point when you're going for summit, not at the time that you get off the plane. because you deteriorate across expedition itself. you lose a lot of budget, the altitude, the inability to get fit. you really want to turn up a little bit undertrained, a little bit overweight, and that when you can peekjust overweight, and that when you can peek just at the right time. clearly, lots of planning. what is the hardest bit to get ready for? what was about that tumour may be least prepared for? certainly, physically or mentally? for least prepared for? certainly, physically or mentally? for me, i wasn't prepared _ physically or mentally? for me, i wasn't prepared for— physically or mentally? for me, i wasn't prepared for what - physically or mentally? for me, i l wasn't prepared for what happened physically or mentally? for me, i - wasn't prepared for what happened on summit day itself. i climbed in 2019, and some of the viewers may have seen that famous photograph of a trafficjam of people queueing on the summit ridge. i knew that was going to happen. it was inevitable because we were operating in a very short weather window, and we opted to climb the day before and

potentially, i suppose you could describe a suboptimal condition. the winds were very strong at night. i got a lot of ice crystals blown into my eyes, i couldn't use goggles, they were missing up. when i arrived on the summit at about 430 in the morning, the sun was coming up, i looked out across it about expecting to see this incredible view, and it was the hearts and key moment because i couldn't see a thing stop theice because i couldn't see a thing stop the ice crystals had damaged my cars, because i was at the top of everest pretty much blind. thinking how anathema going to get back down. that was definitely the bit i hadn't prepared for. that was definitely the bit i hadn't prepared for-— that was definitely the bit i hadn't prepared for. how unfair are you of the danger? _ prepared for. how unfair are you of the danger? we — prepared for. how unfair are you of the danger? we know— prepared for. how unfair are you of the danger? we know it _ prepared for. how unfair are you of the danger? we know it is - the danger? we know it is notoriously dangerous, it has taken many lives. in that excitement, and may be the joy of getting up there, are you aware are very close and keenly aware of just what you have put yourself through to get there?

yes. that awareness grows as you go through the expedition. the first foray through the first section, this incredible glazier that you need to cross to travel from base camp to camborne, it is russian roulette. it is going through a drinker set with blogs made of ice the size of buildings, and the singer is moving. then you need to go through that several times in order to acclimatise. that makes you “p order to acclimatise. that makes you up to bid. for me, i think when it really sank, i was travelling from campsie to the south camp, and then that's when i saw my first dead body on the mountain. and it wasn't a body from years gone by, it was a mountaineer who had tragically passed awayjust mountaineer who had tragically passed away just that mountaineer who had tragically passed awayjust that morning, and i needed to work almost over that body, looking down. and yeah, that genuinely rattled me. and it wasn't the only body that i saw on my trip. and in fact, just after leaving that

point, the entry point to the deaths on, from the place you make your summit bid, but in five or ten minutes of leave my tent, i was on my own at the time, i came across another dead bodyjust lying down on the trail in front of me. and when you're climbing everest and quite challenging conditions, that is really not what you want to see. yeah, for me having had perhaps the experience that i have been fortunate to have in my writing, i think it was pretty aware of the danger of the risk. i made a pretty good risk assessment. but when you're on the mountain yourself, it can throw you careful. it is you're on the mountain yourself, it can throw you careful.— can throw you careful. it is a dangerous — can throw you careful. it is a dangerous place _ can throw you careful. it is a dangerous place to - can throw you careful. it is a dangerous place to be. - can throw you careful. it is a dangerous place to be. why| can throw you careful. it is a i dangerous place to be. why do can throw you careful. it is a - dangerous place to be. why do you do it? as, dangerous place to be. why do you do it? �* ., ., , ., , it? a good question. it is definitely _ it? a good question. it is definitely type _ it? a good question. it is definitely type to - it? a good question. it is definitely type to fun. . it? a good question. it is| definitely type to fun. but it? a good question. it is - definitely type to fun. but the feeling of achievement that you get from having first yourself, notjust your physical limits but your mental

limits as well, it's indescribable. and for me, i am very big into personal growth, and there is definitely challenging yourself against the environment, against nature. it is a really good way to develop and grow. and also, yes, it is hard, but it is also spectacularly beautiful. to be in this incredible places. it is a complicated answer, but i'm definitely happier as a person for the mountains of being a mother. it is an incredible achievement, just one of many. stay with us. it really does underline that the scale of human achievement, marking the 70th anniversary today. it human achievement, marking the 70th anniversary today-— anniversary today. it does. i have bou~ht anniversary today. it does. i have bought several _ anniversary today. it does. i have bought several documentaries . anniversary today. it does. i have i bought several documentaries about people _ bought several documentaries about people who decide to scale mount everest. _ people who decide to scale mount everest, and i amjust people who decide to scale mount everest, and i am just glad that jane _ everest, and i am just glad that jane or— everest, and i am just glad that jane or that bug didn't infect me, because — jane or that bug didn't infect me, because i— jane or that bug didn't infect me, because ijust could not imagine

mountain your company predict a particular mountaineer who doesn't have the experience, has gone on this expedition within expectation that they pay their money therefore they get a ticket to the top, when they get a ticket to the top, when the encounter this challenging aspects going up very steep ladder is in difficult terrain, they become very slow. and that therefore creates bottlenecks, and it puts theirfellow creates bottlenecks, and it puts their fellow mountain years, it increases the level of risk and danger. that is even amplified even more as you get towards the summit. the summit ridge is very, very difficult to pass people, to overtake people. so, once you're in the queue, you are in this long run, you just get sucked up by osmosis. but again, you got people who can't cope, they are very slow. that creates bottlenecks. and in the top six and it is even more dangerous, because the vast majority of mountain years are using supplementary oxygen, and that tank of oxygen will last anything from three to eight hours, depending on the float it, so if you're on a

queue for two or three or four hours, you are burning through that life—giving oxygen that let you in your climb could be the difference between death and failure. hot your climb could be the difference between death and failure. not 'ust a risk to yourself, i between death and failure. not 'ust a risk to yourself, but i between death and failure. not 'ust a risk to yourself, but the i between death and failure. not 'ust a risk to yourself, but the riski between death and failure. notjust a risk to yourself, but the risk to i a risk to yourself, but the risk to others. fascinating to hearfrom a risk to yourself, but the risk to others. fascinating to hear from you first hand about what is involved. you're a brave man, but thank you for being with us. the manufacturer behind mars bars has announced it will be ditching plastic wrappers in favour of recyclable paper. the new packaging will be rolled out at 500 tesco stores in the uk from monday. the change — which isjust a pilot at the moment — is an attempt by the company to be more environmentally friendly. that's talk about this some more. is this just a that's talk about this some more. is thisjust a bit that's talk about this some more. is this just a bit of a pr job to try to getjust about more mars bars, do you think? it to getjust about more mars bars, do ou think? , , , .,

sustainability. but i think mars were smart. they made this announcement, they got a great amount of unpaid for media, and every time you put it on the screen cupboard makes me want to master. shall i not hold them up and like this? the pointers in all of this that this is going to be about people power, it is going to be the customers who will determine what this big firms do. so often, it is a firm dictators, but if yours is an environmental issue, customers are way ahead of many businesses. thea;r way ahead of many businesses. they are. when there _ way ahead of many businesses. they are. when there like _ way ahead of many businesses. tie: are. when there like to see way ahead of many businesses. tieg are. when there like to see what is happening because i know what is possible for our country. 0r happening because i know what is possible for our country. or not this is a peer scheme, bill c, but i would really like to know... i hope people will ask more questions and more accountability for a broader sense of the environmental impact. notjust using paper or plastic, but what is your footprint and how we are changing it from year to year?

the big question, again one of the things we will look back on and a little while and realise that footprint was far to big. very good to talk to both thank you. let's turn to those wonderful scenes in luton today, after the fotball club made it into the premier league. thousands of fans gathered to celebrate after saturday's play—off final at wembley over the weekend. fans lined the streets as an open—top bus carried the players to luton's main square, where an incredible celebration took place. 0ur sports reporter tom williams was on the bus and spoke once the bus reached st george's square, this was the moment the crowd had been waiting for. it's first time the club has been in the top tier of english football in 30 years, and this promotion comes just nine years after they were in the very bottom �*non—leagues' of football — so a real story of inspiration for luton.

around the world and across the uk, this is bbc news. i am thrilled to declare the george formally opened. the first pint pulled, a pub returning to the heart of its community. extremely excited, i have been like a child. we have had a count board outside. the 17th century village pub closed during the second lockdown in 2020, only saved when residents raised £300,000 in just three weeks before christmas. but the work will continue. currently drinks only, there are plans to open as a cafe and restaurant later in the year, with hopes for what it will become in the future. notjust a pub but a

genuine community hub. we hope people will come here to celebrate and make fence. here to celebrate and make friends. the pub means everything, the pub means the world to us. you're live with bbc news. now it's time for the panel... so, anand, you have been looking into europe's most eagerly awaited new routes. there is a new sleeper train being launched from berlin to brussels, and there is a wider pattern here of and there is a wider pattern here of an increase in entries in train travel. myself, i have heard from several people who have taken the sleep return from scotland to london recently. in france, they have legislated, they are going to ban flights between france it is when

you can make the train journey and under too much. itjust seemed so generally, for a variety of reasons, partly environment, part of the romance of train travel, more and more people seem to be getting back on trains and using them for longer journeys, put in the past i think it would fly. my cousin announced proudly he was going into ruling, which i thought it was a thing you do when you're 18. which i thought it was a thing you do when you're18. apparently, this is now quite popular amongst grown—ups too. flan is now quite popular amongst grown-ups too.— is now quite popular amongst u-rown-us too. . .., grown-ups too. can we ever recover that golden _ grown-ups too. can we ever recover that golden age — grown-ups too. can we ever recover that golden age of _ grown-ups too. can we ever recover that golden age of train _ grown-ups too. can we ever recover that golden age of train travel? it i that golden age of train travel? it is just that golden age of train travel? it isjust quite that golden age of train travel? it is just quite the same. that golden age of train travel? it isjust quite the same.— isjust quite the same. certainly not in parts _ isjust quite the same. certainly not in parts of _ isjust quite the same. certainly not in parts of the _ isjust quite the same. certainly not in parts of the uk _ isjust quite the same. certainly not in parts of the uk at - isjust quite the same. certainly not in parts of the uk at the i not in parts of the uk at the moment, _ not in parts of the uk at the moment, for train travel is a real trial— moment, for train travel is a real trial rather— moment, for train travel is a real trial rather than a pleasure, but reading — trial rather than a pleasure, but reading the reports about the sleeper— reading the reports about the sleeper from berlin, reading the reports about the sleeperfrom berlin, it reading the reports about the sleeper from berlin, it sounds very comfortable, brand—new trends come and i comfortable, brand—new trends come and i think— comfortable, brand—new trends come and i think an effort is being made. in continental europe, certainly, for the _ in continental europe, certainly, for the sort _ in continental europe, certainly, for the sort of international services _ for the sort of international services that link countries. you can go— services that link countries. you can go from _ services that link countries. you can go from the uk, get the train to brussels, _ can go from the uk, get the train to brussels, and connect onto a train that takes— brussels, and connect onto a train that takes you all the way to berlin — that takes you all the way to berlin. , ~'

to a champions league final. now mauricio pochettino is on his way back to london. he has been chosen by chelsea to turn the club around. in a statement, they said the sporting team conducted a diligent and thoughtful process that the board is proud of. mauricio is a world—class coach with an outstanding track record. this club has just had its worst season in 29 years, one where they lurched through three different managers. thomas tuchel left in september, and graham potter came in and signed a five year deal. he lasted six months. frank lampard then took temporary charge, but in nine league games, he won just one. chelsea finished 12th. all this for a club who got a new owner last year. todd boehly has now spent half a billion on players and wants a coach to bring results.

what will the minimum expectation be for him in this first season at chelsea? the owners have not paid 2.5 billion and promised more to finish fourth. i think with his style and the way that can have that man management, it's a perfect fit for the club. since he left tottenham, pochettino has managed at paris saint—germain, where he lead their superstars to three trophies. at his new club, he has preseason to prepare, and to make sure chelsea's next year is not like the last one. there was an incredible finish to the league 0ne play—off final at wembley. sheffield wednesday'sjosh windass scored the winner against ten man barnsley in the final seconds of extra time. it was goaless and destined for penalties, just like the other two play—off finals over the weekend, but windass's brilliant diving header secured promotion to the championship for wednesday

after two seasons in league 0ne. 15 years ago, windass's father dean, who was watching on at wembley, scored the winner for hull in the championship play—off final. tennis now, and novak djokovic has started his bid for a men's record 23rd grand slam singles title with a straight—sets victory over aleksandar kovachevic at the french open. the serb, a two—time champion in paris, defeated the american 6-3, 6-2, 7-6. the world number three will face hungary's marton fucsovics in the second round. who is a 1k time winner at roland garros but is missing because of an injury. next up for djokovic is hungary's marton fucsovics in the second round. world number one carlos alcaraz eased past flavio cobolli in his first round 6—0, 6—2, 7—5. alacaraz is in a strong position to go far. he'll play japan's taro daniel next.

elsewhere, britain's cameron norrie, the 14th seed, is through, squeezing past france's benoit paire in five—sets. norrie started strongly, taking the first set. but paire, who is ranked 149th in the world, though rallied in front of his home fans, taking the second and third sets. but norrie fought back, completing the win, and is the only brit left in the singles tournament. the former us open champion sloane stephens has knocked out world number 16 karolina pliskova, 6—0, 6—4. the american was not ranked high enough to be seeded when the draw was made last week but is now 30th in the rankings. chennai super kings have won the indian premier league after a thrilling final—ball victory against gujarat titans. the match was being played on a reserve day because of bad weather, and gujarat posted a formiddable looking target of 214 from their 20 overs, with sai sudharsan making 96. more rain fell, csk's target was reduced to 171 from 15 overs,

and they needed ten off the last two balls, ravi jadeja gave them a chance with this six. then off the final ball, they got the boundary they needed to claim the title for a fifth time. and that's all the sport for now. hello there. it's been yet another fine, dry and settled day. plenty of sunshine across the uk with highs into the low 20s celsius. now this fine and settled weather, it will continue for the rest of the week as our blocking area of high pressure continues to keep all rain bearing weather fronts well away. you can see this blocking high, sitting almost on top of the country. light winds with very few isobars for many, but a fresh northeasterly breeze will continue across this south east

quadrant of england. and that'll drag in cloud tonight again off the north sea into the midlands, southern and eastern england. elsewhere where skies are clear, then it could be quite chilly. temperatures maybe close to freezing, but for most, four to eight celsius. could start quite grey, then, tomorrow morning, across central and eastern parts of england, the cloud tending to melt back and fragment towards the coast. however, where areas though do stay grey with a fresh breeze, it'll be quite cool. but further north and west in the strong sunshine, temperatures will be up to 24, maybe 25 degrees in the glasgow area. that could be the hot spot of the day. tuesday night, we see that cloud roll back in across large parts of england and wales this time, whereas much of scotland, northern ireland, will remain under clear skies, and temperatures range from around four to maybe ten or 11 across the southeast. it's here where we'll have the strongest of the breeze. so again, a grey start for parts of england and wales. on wednesday, though, the cloud will tend to burn back to the coast, although a few areas could see the cloud linger on. best of the sunshine again, scotland, northern ireland. it's here where we'll

see the lightest of the winds and the highest of the temperatures — could be 25 or 26 degrees in the glasgow area. but again, the mid to high teens along north sea coast. thursday, more cloud, i think, for northern and eastern scotland. again, rather cloudy for eastern england with more of a breeze there. best of the sunshine towards the south and the west. temperatures could be a little bit lower on thursday, up to 23 degrees in parts of north west england, wales and the southwest. but again, cool across north sea coast, particularly where the cloud lingers. 0ur area of high pressure holds on for friday into the weekend, but a different story going on across southern europe. here, we're seeing daytime showers and thunderstorms break out from iberia across to greece and the islands. but for our shores, friday, saturday and sunday, look to be mostly dry and settled, warm by day, fairly cool at night.
