Youre not likely to pass by the house of someone who is isolated and lonely. Every time you are running through your community, there are things that need doing and actually, you can combine that with your exercise. This is about far more than just running, though. As we know, a lot of our litter ends up in the waterways which means that the ploggers end up in waders. And its notjust helping the environment but also potentially the public purse. Clearing litter costs local authorities more than £700 million a year in england alone. This local level volunteering coincides with a growing momentum nationally to cut waste. The Scottish Parliament announced plans to ban plastic straws. And the royal family has even backed efforts to reduce single use plastic on britains royal estates. Does it ever frustrate you when youre litter picking, you see the state of some of the parks and some of the waterways . I suppose it is a bit frustrating but especially because this is my local park i live just around the corner but it is good that so many people are willing to give up their saturday mornings to clean up parks and rivers and. To get involved. Get involved in the community. With that sense of making a small difference to a bigger problem, plogging offers much more thanjust a strenuous work out. Greg dawson, bbc news, south east london. Now lets get the weather. A p pa re ntly now lets get the weather. Apparently you are quite a litter collector yourself if you may fill up collector yourself if you may fill up after now i could, it is minute fitness craze. None of those people you saw had a full back, my bag is about ten kilograms, and i defy anybody to run about the streets with ten kilograms on their hip if you want to get into the bushes, you cannot dojogging, you want to get into the bushes, you cannot do jogging, you you want to get into the bushes, you cannot dojogging, you either do one thing or the other. In mike s periods, i told you, the time is slipping by and the audiences falling the weather is not great if you are litter picking this afternoon. U nless litter picking this afternoon. Unless you happen to be in sheltered spots on the eastern side of the british isles. This was the scene earlier, and this will be more widely available across western parts as a warm front comes in from the atlantic spreading more in the way of cloud. Rain pushing ever further eastwards. On monday without the prospect of a gloomy start. Cold. And all coming from the weather front gradually working its way from the atlantic. We fall into what we call it warm sector because the cold front bringing colder conditions is away in the atlantic. Many of us get stuck in this mild patch of air. That means leaden skies, rain across the eastern shores, which increases in the eastern quarter in the afternoon. Perhaps some gaps, and if the gaps come through in wales of the south west, it could be 13. But not a great day, for litter picking or anything else.

Seeing africa by train. We witnessed seven lions that were chasing a zebra. It was like a movie and this was real. The history of selfies, lol. Selfies have a very interesting history that goes back 40,000 years. Distorted singing and rocking the mike underwater in denmark. Making music, whoo hoo were starting this week in africa on a train line that passes through some of the continents wildest landscape. The Freedom Railway cuts through more than 18,000 kilometres of dense jungle, mountains and savannah, as it winds its way from Dar Es Salaam in tanzania to zambias central province. But more than a0 years after it opened, its now beginning to show its age and is overdue and major upgrade. We bought a ticket and went to find out what makes the journey so unique. And if youre tempted by a rail journey through africa, heres our pick of some of the highlights. The continents first ever high speed train line is due to open this summer in morocco. Itll more than halve the time it takes to travel from the port of tangier to casablanca, where you can pick up slower connections onto fez or marrakesh. Another key upgrade recently has been the stretch from mombasa to nairobi, in kenya. That route used to be known as the lunatic express, because its construction in the late 19th century was so dangerous. Thousands of labourers died working on it, many from malaria, some from being attacked by lions. The 12 hourjourney has now been reduced to four and a half, but at those speeds you might find that any visible big game whizzes by at a pace that makes it slightly trickier to spot. One of the most luxurious and most expensive rides africa has to offer is south africas blue train. It takes 27 hours to travel the nearly 1,000 miles from pretoria to cape town and will set you back around £900, or about 1200 us. However, you are paying not just for dramatic views of the landscapes, but also for high end 5 star service onboard. And in egypt, the line from cairo to aswan tracks the course of the nile and offers excellent views of plantations and villages on the way. If you try and book at the Ticket Office theyll put you on the Sleeper Service and you will miss all the views, however, there is nothing to stop you booking online orjust turning up and getting your ticket on the train. Do check the latest travel advice before you go. Still to come on the travel show. We take our best pout along to be museum of selfies. Ooh and why im getting a good dunking in the name of music. Amazing. Youre doing good. Its lovely and warm when youre singing into the water, you have to have water down your throat and if you open up you get the water in your lungs. So, do stay with us. The travel show, your essential guide, wherever youre heading. Ok, its time for trend in travel, your monthly mash up of the very best travel related stories, pics and clips online. Apparently over1 million selfies are posted to social media every day. So it was probably inevitable that someone would open up a museum of selfies. It opens in la for a month long engagement, starting in april. Its more than just a gallery of art, its an interactive installation that allows people to create selfies of there own. Selfies have an interesting history that goes back 40,000 years. The human form is a very old thing that weve depicted since we were able to start drawing on cave walls. Its changed because technology and the techniques have become more advanced. This year, south africa celebrates 100 years since the birth of nelson mandela, with a packed calendar of concerts, celebrations and a new app. Madibas journey guides visitors around many of the sites that shaped the great mans life, including robben island, when he was imprisoned for 18 long, gruelling years. The listings are decked out with images, histories and even audio guides. Its available for both ios and android. Now ill meet a travel photographer with a difference. Jacqui kenny uses google street view to explore the world, posting her screen grabs under the name the agoraphobic traveller. She suffers from a fear of open spaces, leaving her largely confined to her house, but her work is spreading across the globe, with an exhibition in new york and nearly 100,000 instagram followers. For a limited time shes selling her prints and donating a portion of the profits to the brain and Behaviour Research foundation. And we caught up with blind backpacker tony giles, fresh from his trip to israel and palestine, for a Facebook Live interview. Tony has visited over 120 countries, despite losing his sight as a child. What has been the most unforgettable place that you have visited . Whats been the most amazing place. New zealand is the most amazing country, i have been twice and the first time i spent three months on the bus, travelling around and bungeejumping. I love the people and the nature, i can smell it all and i can sense it all walking up and down a mountain. Thank you to everyone who sent us your pictures from their travels, using our hash tag. Here is what caught my eye. Mario took this stunning sunset shot of the church of assumption at lake bled in slovenia. While roger captured another sunset view overlooking sydney harbour. Dont forget to share your travel pictures with us on our twitter feed.

So we have selected a couple of films that show the country at its best that you can also check out online. And if you see anything you think we should know about, please do get in touch. You can find us on twitter using bbctravelshow. And finally this week, i travel to aalborg in denmark. This is a country almost completely surrounded by water, no matter where you are you are never more than 50 kilometres from the coast. So it should come as no surprise that it was here that a local artist was inspired to combine music and water in a way that you have never heard before. This is the group between music, their latest show is the first in a four part series called aquasonic, which explores who we are as human beings and it begins with our time in the womb. We are so often divided between you and me, them and us, different religions and different cultures, but this is something we all know something about. We have our first nine months covered by this water filter, so i think somehow the audience, i think they are on at least an unconscious level will have a flashback to hearing those sounds. So as performers, how does it feel when you are underwater performing to an audience . It gets really, somehow a sense of loneliness to it. There is not only a visual loneliness to see these humans in the tanks, but also the sound has a kind of loneliness to it, i think that is quite a nice idea. So, here goes. One deep breath and well, actually this is quite nice. You are doing good it is lovely and warm. Yeah. This is great. So if you take this microphone that is hanging and then you hit this bell plate, you see the one . Yes, this one here . Yes. Then you take the microphone and put it towards it. Do you hear that effect . Then you can sort of play with it. Playing music in water has two sides. On one side it is terrifying because also when you are singing into the water you have to have water down your throat and if you open up you get the water in your lungs. So thats quite terrifying. So how on earth do you get musical insurance to play underwater . So how on earth do you get Musical Instruments to play underwater . Well it took us 10 11 years to make this and how come it took so long . Because 0k, it is something that you need to really research and when you see what other people have done and trying other instruments. Most instruments didnt sound really good, but we saw somehow a potential in this. But we also realised we had to build instruments to work in the water, so we found collaborators around the world to help us build instruments for this project. From his studio in bath in england, matt nolan works with artists all over the world to create custom made instruments. I guess somehow i seem to become the guy people go to when they need something unusual. Spooky. I was approached by, i think it was one of the new production guys for aquasonic, they needed some bespoke underwater percussion. I tried a lot of things in a small tank of water here and was astonished by how many things just literallyjust go clunk and dont do anything else. All of the high frequencies, that shimmer like a cymbal alljust disappears. With various experiments, trying this and that, we narrowed down on those instruments that were heavy and massive and could sustain and contain a certain amount of sonic energy and radiate out in time so the water doesnt kill it too quickly. Well it is always good to find something that is not working and figure out how to make it work. Back in denmark i am beginning to think i am a bit of a natural. Maybe you should just pull the darbuka to the front window and if you hit it with a hammer you can close the sound with your hand. Another thing, if you take there is a small stick on the top of the yeah, exactly. And you can use that for the ring over there, with the holes in it. 0h 0k. Thats so cool youre making music it is amazing, you have these hammers when you hit, it resonates and you can feel it in your body. It is a totally different experience than hanging a bell with a hammer. And when you have been out of order for a couple of weeks or months and when we go, we have to play somewhere and get in the tank, it feels like getting home again. Try to go down and then hit maybe number one and number three together. Underwater music, trickier than it appears and definitely one not to try at home. Unfortunately thats all weve got time for on this weeks show. Coming up next week with the Winter Olympics in full swing in south korea, carmen heads to seoul for a taste of its street food culture. Let me tell you, it is pretty cold out here right now, it feels well below zero, but look at this place, its so bustling you would think people would be at home with the central heating on full blast, but no this place is really happening. And we are off to one of the toughest, wildest environments the uk has to offer. Jo walleyjoins a tour which teaches you how to survive a night outdoors in scotlands cairngorm mountains. So i have been digging for a couple of hours now and the camera is finally starting to completely freeze over and i am also freezing over. Cheers everyone so dojoin us then, if you can. In the meantime, dont forget you can catch up with us while we are out on the road in real time by signing up to our social medai feeds. Details are on the screen now. From now, from me and the rest of the travel show team in denmark, it is goodbye. Good afternoon. Pretty obvious from the picture it is not that great for some of us. This was the scene in devon. And the reason for all that cloud, a warm front which will gradually ease its way across the country, thickening cloud bringing the prospect of rain in Northern Ireland towards the east as we go through the night. Not cold, the warm front will introduce relatively mild conditions. Once you have a warm front coming in you hope that a cold front will come through and get rid of all the mark. But the cold front is well behind me, so monday isa front is well behind me, so monday is a day with a lot of cloud around many parts, at its thickest closest to the warm front on the eastern shores. Rain in Eastern England through the day. No complaint about temperatures, and there may even be some brightness on the irish sea coast. Ill have more in half an hour. This is bbc news. The headlines at 2. 00 brendan cox, the widower of the murdered mp, jo cox, resigns from two organisations set up in her memory after claims of Sexual Misconduct in the past.
