Look back at some of our most recent and favourite adventures here on the travel show. This week we are on the Beautiful Island of renewed, where a couple of months ago the americas cup was in full swing. Bermuda. You can see more cup was in full swing. Bermuda. You can see more of cup was in full swing. Bermuda. You can see more of that story in a moment. But here is a taste of what else is coming up on this week s programme. laughs . That is cold three, two, one. We are going to kick off by remembering a chip to israel back in may, when we met at group of remarkable death, blind actors whose performances are just entertaining, they are truly inspiring. Enjoy. This is one of the world s oldest seaports. So old, they said jonah embarked from here before being eaten from the whale. But this area also has a reputation for cutting edge culture. Nowhere pushes theatrical boundaries more than the Theatre Group based at this building for a decade now. This is why they are truly renowned. Powerful, moving performances, that by a screen super titles, express their inner voices of their actors, most of whom share the same genetic disorder. Usha syndrome means you are deaf from birth and gradually lose your site before adult hood. The shows are meticulously organised with each actor needing their own special queues. Drumbeats often provide punctuation as the actors can feel the vibrations on stage. I am now on my way to interview someone who is essentially the start of this Theatre Company. Now she has her own i woman show. Batsheva has been with the company to more than 16 years. She is one of eight siblings, four of whom were born with the syndrome. Overcoming audience preconceptions is one of batshevas biggest challenges. Translation better understanding how we can to mitigate itouch. By touch. The second thing is how sorting things in my life, how i am dealing with my life. The production not by bread alone has become their most successful, touring the world to huge acclaim. The show is about each of the actors dreams, and their right to be equal. We can obviously never totally inhabit the mind of someone who is deaf blind. But theatre like this, stretched to its limits, provides us with an insight into the thoughts and feelings of a group of people who in previous times would have been unable to communicate with the wider world. But its more than that. It is quite simply very good drama in its own right. Applause. Meeting the all inspiring Theatre Company in israel. Now we have a couple of films about the impact that the sometimes Destructive Forces of nature can have on some beautiful places around the world, and how people can turn that story around. Ina and how people can turn that story around. In a moment, we have got the film i made here in bermuda, about what is being done to stop a certain type of fish destroying many of the coral reefs around here. But first, injune, coral reefs around here. But first, in june, christer headed coral reefs around here. But first, injune, christer headed to to visit a coastal town which was devastated bya tsunami a coastal town which was devastated by a tsunami but has now been reborn. Headed to chile. In 2010, the Central Coast of chile was hit by one of the biggest earthquakes ever recorded. The magnitude was 8. 8, and the city of constitucion was sitting at the centre. About 80 minutes after the earthquake, a massive tsunami in golf constitucion. Engulfed. More than 500 people lost their lives all over chile, to the earthquake and tsunami of 2010. This family had made a living from their boats the generations. But they had never experienced a tsunami before. When the earthquake began, they render their boats to head into the ocean to try and escape collapsing buildings. They did not know that they were heading straight into the tsunami. After the tsunami, sophia and her husband found the strength to grow a business with three boats, that offer visitors to is around this beautiful history. Estuary. Constitucion has notjust been rebuilt, but is enjoying a tourism revival. Local businesses have popped up trying to draw tourists to the area trying hi draw tghrists h thearg 2. 2152 . 5. 214 eiee;i§t§ . F;s . e€t ii. T i i. ,. , the people of constitucion aaron inspiration. Not only have they ove rco m e inspiration. Not only have they overcome the most unthinkable tragedies, but now they are working to bring joy to the people who come to this place is gorgeous. But beneath these beautiful waters, there is a species liking that is having an absolutely devastating effect on the ecosystem here. It is a creature that has presented the biggest challenge to marine life in bermuda. They are called lionfish. They are striking to look at, but they dont belong in the atlantic. They are native to the coral reefs of the pacific ocean. Scientists reckon they may have ended up in these waters after being released by aquarium owners. They are extremely gluttonous. They can overconsume at an exorbitant rate. And the problem without is that the fish that live in the Atlantic Ocean dont recognise that the lionfish as a potential threat. It is cold experts here leave the only way to control the lionfish population is to cull them. They are having a huge impact on the ecosystem, and the ecosystem cant evolve fast enough to deal with this new species. And since we put it there, it is our problem to try and control it. Uniquely here in bermuda, these lionfish tend to congregate in very deep waters. So its really hard for fishermen to catch them in large numbers. But now it is hoped that Pioneering Technology could provide a more effective answer. This is one of our prototypes of a robot that we built to go overboard. You sit down at your computer screen, just like you are playing a game, you see through the camera and you drive it down and look for a lionfish, but the lionfish between the electrodes and push the stun button, and the lionfish will lock up button, and the lionfish will lock up with the electricity so it cant move, and any push another button and suck it into the tube and then go looking to the next lionfish. Hunting the lionfish here might seem to go against our usual idea of conservation. Which is aimed at preserving rather than destroying marine wildlife. But by controlling the lionfish population now, Scientists Say that will give the underwater ecosystem chance to repair, it evolve and adapt, and remain here for generations to come. That was me reporting from here in bermuda, back in june. That was me reporting from here in bermuda, back injune. Lets hope that project hopes to save the amazing marine life that lives in the oceans around the speed of island. Stay with us because coming up island. Stay with us because coming up next on this special look back here on the travel show carmen picks up some tips from one of hong kongs most famous instagram photographers. And henry joins kongs most famous instagram photographers. And henryjoins in a canal photographers. And henryjoins in a ca nal clea n photographers. And henryjoins in a canal clean up in bangkok. Hard work. Up up next on our look back at our recent adventures, here are two of my favourite films of this year. In a moment, henry had to bangkok to see how the city is trying to persuade more tourists back onto its ca nals persuade more tourists back onto its canals by cleaning them up. At first, last month, rajan travel through the country s that until the 1990s made up yugoslavia. And took an epic journey the 1990s made up yugoslavia. And took an epicjourney down the longest river in the balkans. In the first part of his journey, he followed the river to slovenias capital, to find out why it has been called one of europe is that greenest cities. The city centre is made up of vast squares lined up with baroque buildings, and the street are packed with tourists. It wasnt all like this. Just over a decade ago ljubljana was clogged with traffic and the citys mein piazzolla was a car park. But in 2006 the citys mayor made the decision to ban cars from the centre. Now the only vehicles are allowed a re centre. Now the only vehicles are allowed are the so called cavaliers, electric cabs that give free lifts to those with luggage or who need extra help getting around. If you had to compare how this city looked ten yea rs had to compare how this city looked ten years ago to now, can you tell me the difference . And the children are still following year. And its notjust kids that are using the car free streets as a playground. These men are ambassadors for the city. They met when one was a juggler and the other a gymnast and they together became a social media sensation with their urban acrobatic antics. We tried to put ljubljana on the map in our videos. You can imagine is running in a circle, we run offa imagine is running in a circle, we run off a building. And you have done that. They have good reason to keep the city centre, which doubles as their performance space, speak and spam. They have been part of the efforts to keep it that way. Once a year we have our big action, the whole of slovenia is getting cleared up, and around the river, they have divers cleaning or the bicycles out. And you have taken a big part in those campaigns . Yes. We try to help. We are strong, so we lift or the heavy stuff, you know . Help them to keep it clean and to keep it like on the next level. Citywide cleanups and special as Waste Disposal points helped the capital when the accolade of being europes greenest city in 2015. They are keen to encourage other locals and tourists to see potential in ljubljanas spruced up streets. And the gymnasts are Firm Believers that anybody can be taught to do this. Just change the arms. Sorry. Like this . Three, two, one see, i told you it was simple. You can do push ups. See, i told you it was simple. You can do pushups. I dont howl managed that. Superhuman strength. First built over 200 years ago, bangkoks huge network of canals criss cross the city. Over the yea rs, criss cross the city. Over the years, some of the canals, or klongs as they are called here, were filled in. Butan as they are called here, were filled in. But an extensive system still exist today. These commuter bates wait for not a single person. As soon as wait for not a single person. As soon as they are docked, everybody lea ps soon as they are docked, everybody leaps that our lives off. And we are going to be right in the melee here. Of course, people get splashed, maybe even fall into the river itself. The canal, you dont want to go in doubt. What is dark, dingy and very, very smelly. The water is. The pollution is caused by waste from houses, stalls, and restaurants which lined the sides of the canal. Work is under way to clean up the klongs and Boat Services. By doing that, it is hoped that more people and tourists will use bangkoks waterways, and the congestion on the city roads will be reduced. Further down the canal, i see how much of the challenges facing the cleaning cruisy. What they have here is the bamboo worms, which are collecting all the rubbish. Booms. Insane. So much for the starring. Old teddy bears, mattresses. Have a look at that. How much to do to take all of this out . Twice a day. What are the things that washed down . Anything and everything . Yes. Even furniture, Something Like that. So peoplejust throw couches, refrigerators. Whatever they dont want, theyjust throw in the river . Yes. Time now to get away from the smell and had to one of several canals which have already been cleaned up, when you Boat Services are already running. It looks nice from afar. Look at that. The seats. Not too packed. Thats always good. Ive got to say, this is so much more of a calm way of seeing the city. I dont know if it is the time of evening, when it has golden light, but it is smooth, there is no sort of smell but nasty water. And, a plaster tourists, there is wi fi. Because who can go without wi fi these days . Now, we all love taking and sharing photos on our travels. Sites like instagram have made that an art form in itself. But how do you take the perfect shot that will get you loads of likes and shares . Lets finish this week with carmen in hong kong, getting some tips. This is not the usual place that most tourists would ta ke p hotos usual place that most tourists would take photos in hong kong. No, no. This is very different.

Sometimes at night, you can get that really atmospheric look, the grittier side. Sometimes you just have to be bold. Thats a good tip. Just stand and wait, patience is everything. Before i go, i want just stand and wait, patience is everything. Before i go, iwant to get the iconic hong kong taxi. Yes, Everybody Loves the taxi shot. Get the iconic hong kong taxi.

All the details you need are on the screens right now. But for now, from me, and from all the travel show team here in bermuda, its goodbye. Have a bermuda ful day hi there. Were going to look at the satellite picture, first of all, because we have quite a typical autumnal setup, really. Cool north westerly winds working across the atlantic meeting milder southerly winds, a weather front in between. What of course is not normal is this hurricane ophelia, a category 2 hurricane, near the azores, with winds gusting to 120 miles an hour. That will be affecting our weather early next week. But for the time being, we have these warm winds wafting their way across the british isles, dragging out that warm air for the time of year. So, over the next days, we could see temperatures go as high as 2a degrees, if we get some sunny spells. These temperatures, by the way, pretty good, actually, for late july. Except its not latejuly, its october. And those temperatures are really quite incredible for the time of year. Now, its a mild start to the day everywhere with temperatures into double figures. Weve got some rain around, though, northern ireland, into north west england, and south west scotland, as well, seeing that wet weather. Look at these temperatures 16 degrees as we start the day. Thats where temperatures should peak at this time of year. As we go through the day, this band of rain will slowly push its way northwards, whilst easing. The cloud across england and wales, while quite low at times across wales and south west england, with some hill fog patches in the morning, but the cloud will tend to shrink as we go on through the afternoon, to allow some bright spells through. In the best of the sunshine, i think temperatures could get to 22, maybe 23 degrees celsius towards Eastern England during saturday afternoon. Overnight, rain turns heavier for a time across northern ireland, but more especially in western scotland, where it will be a wet old night. Another mild night, saturday night, these are the kind of minimum temperatures, 13, 1a degrees, Something Like that. Now, for sunday, theres a better chance that we will see more in the way of cloud breaks across england and wales. Youll notice, though, the rain in northern scotland. When the rain sticks, it could do across western scotland, through the day, it will not feel especially warm. Temperatures here into the teens. But when we see the sunshine coming out, we could see highs of 23 or 2a degrees celsius. So it will be a very warm day for late october indeed. Beyond that, we have to look again at the azores. This is hurricane ophelia. This is be working in a north eastward direction. Probably got another 2a hours as a hurricane before it turns into a normal area of low pressure. Please bear in mind that the track of this low pressure could change, but nevertheless, youll notice that weve got some very strong winds coming our way through monday and tuesday as well. Firmly in the firing line is ireland. Northern ireland and scotland could also be impacted. The winds may well be damaging. But bear in mind the track could change, so the strong winds could affect other areas of uk, as well. And thats your weather. Hello, this is breakfast, with Naga Munchetty and charlie stayt.
