is much more than the guggenheim, especially the people. impressive stuff from bilbaok's show. but coming up next week: 100 years since the united states entered world war i, adi travels south of washington, dc, where he discovers the ghost fleet of the potomac and the remains of the ships that helped win the war. it's pretty cool to be able to touch something that's a part of american history. and this wreck is nearly 100 years old. these ships were involved in saving the world from totalitarianism. so dojoin us then if you can. and in the meantime, don't forget you can keep up with us while we're out on the road in real—time by signing up to our social media feeds. details are on the screen now. but for now, from me, christa larwood, and of the rest of the travel show team here in paris, it's goodbye. change in the weather on the way for many parts of the uk. monday was a spectacular day, with clear blue skies, beautiful autumn colours. this picture from lincolnshire. but the clouds started rolling in during the course of the evening and overnight, and many western a

check that out and yes a new guggenheim is planned there by frank gehry looks quite a lot like the one in bilbao now all of these plans that i'm mentioning have actually been put on hold there's no real date set for them so it's sort of a big question mark but if they pull it off. he could display the bilbao effect on an even grander scale in the middle east so that's what it's something very special look at i'm guessing this more of the web site there is indeed. culture we've got plenty on go about on the new movie as well david miscavige thank you so much and that's it your date. will have more for you at the top of the hour i will get to. with the book. with the. wind cities are engulfed by the sea. some mornings and costly protective measures. for. our future fifteen minutes on d w. it's all about the story in the song. it's all about george chance to discover. the world from different perspectives. join us inspired by distinctive instagram others. d.w. story the topic each week on instagram. this is due to reduce live from berlin under pressure the european union ups the ante on london over
