on the northern shores of lake malawi, a group of enterprising female farmers have found a solution to the threat to their livlihoods from the devastating effects of climate change. extreme heat means their banana crops are ripening much faster than they used to. but instead of throwing the produce away, they're turning the ripened bananas into wine and have hopes to expand further into international markets. anne okumu reports. have you ever heard the expression, "when life gives you lemons, make lemonade"? well, it's a lesson that these farmers in karonga, in the north of malawi, have had to take to heart. rising waters due to climate change forced them to relocate higher inland. then extreme heat meant their banana crops were ripening a lot faster than usual, and rotting bananas just won't sell.

translation: it is sad that we have to go - through all this waste. the heat here is unbearable. all of our hard work and investment is lost. life gave emily and her co—workers overripe bananas. so they are making banana wine. translation: bananas are abundant _ here, and making wine allows us to reduce waste while creating something valuable. when they are ripe, we do not throw them away. we take them to the factory where we produce top quality wine. classified as white wine due to its colour, these women don't have the latest wine production equipment. they do everything by hand. first, they clean and peel the bananas, then chop them into pieces. then in a big bucket, they mix the bananas, sugar, yeast, lemons and raisins. then it is sealed and allowed to ferment for two weeks.

after that, it is repeatedly sieved and stored for four months until it is ready for bottling. tennyson gondwe has been helping these women venture into the wine making business. there was quite a lot of problems for the farmers to transition from banana as a subsistence crop to wine making locally. it has been received very well. but once we get fully certified, i think internationally i think there can be some possibility of also penetrating the international market. we have also assisted them with the equipment for them to measure the quality and the alcoholic content of the banana wine. the farmers hope to expand their wine making business beyond the traditional markets of rwanda and tanzania. emily tells me she and her friends never thought they'd be able to turn adversity into opportunity. the unexpected entrepreneurship

has put a smile on their faces. anne okumu, bbc news, karonga, malawi. if you have ever been to buckingham palace, you will have seen the kings guard wearing the famous bearskins. it's a tradition that dates back about 200 years. but the headwear price has sky—rocketed in recent years — and there's a renewed push by activists for the ministry of defence to move away from real fur. our royal correspondent sean coughlan reports. the tall bearskin caps worn by the king's guards are a distinctive sight outside buckingham palace and at big ceremonial events like trooping the colour. but animal rights campaigners are saying there's too high a price to pay, notjust in terms of using real fur from black bears, but also because the cost to taxpayers has gone up so much. each bearskin cap now costs more than £2,000. that's an annual increase of 30%.

the figures have been revealed by the ministry of defence in a freedom of information request from the campaign group, the people for the ethical treatment of animals. it means more than £1 million has been spent on bearskin caps over the past decade, and the animal rights group says it's an unacceptable waste of taxpayers money. the mod says it's open to using an alternative to real fur if a material can be found that is suitably durable and keeps its shape. it's a decision for the military rather than the royals. but queen camilla has already revealed that she has made the switch away from buying realfur. sean coughlan, bbc news. it was a big night on wednesday for the music industry in new york — with a host of stars turning out for the mtv video music awards — or vmas for short. the biggest winner on the night was taylor swift — who left with seven prizes — giving her a record—equalling career total of 30. she used the occasion

to thank her boyfriend, the american football player travis kelcey, for turning travis kelce, for turning everything to happiness and fun and magic. but while she urged her fans to register to vote — she didn't make any direct mention of her endorsement of kamala harris in the presidential election. among our favourite performances on the night — katy perry, descending from the skies, to sing a medley of her hits. sabrina carpenter had a bit of a space theme — complete with aliens and astronauts, who did seem to be rather friendly. fitting with today. and chappel roan went for an epic theme, dressing in a suit of armour — complete with burning castle, and an army of knights. there was a bit of a break with tradition at buckingham palace yesterday when members of new zealand's women's rugby team — the black ferns — asked for and were given the go ahead to hug king charles. the usual protocol is that

no—one touches the monarch — but when charles was asked, he said — "why not." the king later described the moment as �*a warm hug' — which was �*much appreciated'. everyone seems to have enjoyed those hugs. we have matthew amroliwala coming up next with bbc verified live, to stay with us here on bbc news. hello again. we have another cold but sunny start tomorrow morning and then the weather is going to change. right now, the winds have come from a long way north which is why it is so cold but as we head into the weekend, we cut off the supply of cold air, the wind is coming from the atlantic and temperatures are going to rise. today, a mixture of sunshine and showers once again, some heavy showers breaking out, those which i was

breaking out, those which i was breaking out, those which i was breaking out a little more widely through the afternoon. temperatures again, 13 to 15 degrees, below average for the time of year but not quite as windy this time. the winds continue to full light overnight, the showers tend to fade away just overnight, the showers tend to fade awayjust keeping a few in the far north of scotland and may around some of those north sea coasts but clear skies, light winds, it all points to a cold night. colder than last night, we may well have temperatures dipping below freezing in south—east scotland and parts of northern england. a really cold start to tomorrow, sunny, though, as we head through the day and damages rise a little, some cloud developing but we aren't really expecting the showers this time and this rain coming into northern ireland is much slower. whilst it will turn cloudy in northern ireland, it will be late in the day before we see any rain and it should be dry in scotland but still on the cold side here for top temperatures will be a little higher for england temperatures will be a little higherfor england and temperatures will be a little higher for england and wales. underneath that area of low pressure —— high pressure

keeping it dry. this low pressure heading towards iceland will stay at the fronts towards scotland and northern ireland and strengthen the fronts, particularly windy in the far north—west of scotland. most of the rain will be coming into northern ireland and western scotland throughout the day, england and wales may be seeing a little bit more cloud in the west, sunshine in the eastern side of england and most temperature is continuing to lift, 19 possibly even 20 degrees. across the whole of the uk, tempers are going to be higher than what we are seeing at the moment which is good news, i suppose. at the moment which is good news, isuppose. it at the moment which is good news, i suppose. it won't be as cold at night either particularly on that weather front as it runs southwards into england and wales. it is running at a higher pressure so they may not be an awful lot of rain, some rain for a while in northern england, that will continue in wales, may be the west midlands and towards the south—west. sunny skies put scotland and northern ireland, it won't be as windy, still temperatures up to 16 or 17 degrees and dry and a bit warmer still in south—eastern parts of england.
