Think everybody should embrace it. Now its time for a look at the weather with darren betts. Hello, there. Its going to be a much cooler, fresher start to the new month. The start of meteorological autumn as well. Weve got some showers continuing overnight, particularly in scotland and a peppering in Northern Ireland. One or two coming into Northern England and wales. Further south, clearer skies. The wind will be easing a bit as well. North westerly wind bringing the cooler air and temperatures will be lower than they were last night. Plenty of sunshine to start the day across england and wales. More showers for a while over Northern Ireland. Mostly pushing the east over scotland into north east england towards the wash and some of them may be heavy and thundery. Feeling cooler and fresher everywhere. Typical temperatures may be 15, 17 degrees. A touch higher in the south of england where it should be a dry day. More sunshine to start the day. A chilly start, Atlantic Wind coming in on monday, meaning increasing cloud. Northern ireland and especially scotland, quite wet. 15 degrees in the central belt. 22 in south east england. Hello, this is bbc news. The headlines. Thousands take to the streets across the uk to condemn borisjohnsons decision to suspend parliament. I never thought at my age, 61 years of age, i would have to be here in whitehall, protesting against the shutdown of parliament. Theres been renewed violence in hong kong with pro democracy protesters defying a ban on rallying. More than 50 migrants have been detained as they tried to cross the English Channel to reach kent. Several boats have been intercepted. Formula 2 driver Anthoine Hubert has been killed in a crash at the belgian grand prix. Now on bbc news. Protecting our planet in a series of documentaries we will explore how best we can protect our precious planet, exploring Sustainable Solutions around the globe. How can we best protect our precious planet . Climate change and pollution are taking their toll. That much is now scientifically evident. But for all the uncomfortable truth, we hold the future in our hands. In this film, well be exploring Sustainable Solutions around the globe and meeting the individuals driving change in their communities. From housing to energy and fashion, these are some of the unique and surprising ways in which people from all walks of life are working to protect our planet. Nested in the jungles of bali, a surprising material is being using bamboo. The perception of bamboo in asia over the last few years until today has been quite low. It is considered a very humble and impermanent method because it can be eaten by insects if not properly treated. When it is treated it is protected from the rain and sun. A charity has been pioneering the use of bamboo in new and ambitious constructions. Our organisation is called ibuku. Its a reference to mother earth. Bamboo is found in asia, australia, north and south america, and sub saharan africa. According to the guinness book of records, its the Fastest Growing plant on the planet. There are thousands of species of bamboo around the world and hundreds here in indonesia. The structure of this house, its six storeys tall, 700 square metres, four bedrooms, it has a big, open living room, a kitchen and a dining room nestled right beside it. Those are open air and it lets the breeze come right through. Giant bamboo is an evergreen species thatis giant bamboo is an evergreen species that is harvested between three and five years into its growth. The team at ibuku treat it before it is used in construction. In our team we have about 20 designers and another 90 people working together in a workshop nearby to prepare the bamboo material, constructive material and get the construction industry, the design world relies on materials that bend to your will. People thought plastic, you can make whatever shape you want out of it, you can mould it, the ultimate vanity. Bamboo has incredible strength. An engineer i know compares it to carbon fibre because of the way the long fibres result in strength and flexibility, which is important. It also critical in earthquake prone situations. The bamboo structure will kind of dense and bend long before it cracks under pressure. Now we have it properly treated, we can hope people realise you can take advantage of the flexibility and incredibly efficient growth. While laura and her team work to change perceptions bamboo and its use in construction in indonesia, injapans capital city, entrepreneurs are also trying to challenge ideas about the materials we use and the longevity. In this cafe, people are learning how to repair their electronics instead of throwing them out. Inafew in a few hours, mobile phones, chargers and radios are being saved from the rubbish. Japan has the second highest volume of e waste in asia, according to the United NationsUniversity Global e waste monitor, with 2. 1 metric tons generated in 2016 alone. In the northern italian town of modena, Massimo Bottura is taking his fight around the world. In 2016 bottura and his wife created food for soul, a Non Profit Organisation that establishes Community Kitchens to fight food waste using surplus ingredients and world class recipes. There are currently three refottorios in italy and others have been established in london, paris and rio dejaneiro. We are developing a 3d image of how we see italy, the culinary world, the future of food, ourselves, our identity, and forming a circle that is getting larger and larger. The garden is a little project because i am collaborating with a local high school, it is an agricultural high school. It is really overwhelming, the emotion that i have working with them, and i am so curious to see the results. And thats how the last 25 years have gone by in a flash, because one thing leads to another and we can ride off each others enthusiasm, which can be very dangerous but fortunately we have two children and one of our children has a disability, and this disability has also given us really strong roots, does keep us very grounded. Massimo bottura and lara gilmore are also ambassadors of tortellante, a fresh pasta lab where traditional keepers of the tortellini craft passed their knowledge on to teenagers living with autism. Bringing these young adults together and teaching them a skill that they can learn, where they can have an identity, they can have an occupation, not only of their time during the day but also to have a profession, a skill that many other people dont have, my son charlie is able to make tortellini 100 times better than i am. They see their skills being put to use and at the end of two hours or three hours, or a four hour morning they have been making tortellini, they look at this incredible production they have made, all these beautiful handcrafted unique, small bites of love. Massimo employs the same philosophy in his three michelin starred restaurant as he does in his referttorios. Nothing goes to waste. In some parts of the world, people are rapidly changing the way they produce food. Just off the coast of south korea, onjeju island, farmers are having to adapt to Climate Change by growing new crops. Rising temperatures have caused parts of the forest here to die and many species are now endangered. Jeju island was once an independent kingdom. Today it is a special autonomous province, known for its volcanic rock formations and its dramatic coastlines. It has been estimated that Global Warming will cause korea to turn into a subtropical climate by 2070. Many locals are concerned about the potential impact on the islands unique climate and culture. Because of rising temperatures, farmers like kim are now cultivating pa payas, bananas, sugarcane and avocado. The banana tree yields about 55lb of bananas. While a papaya tree can produce around 88lb of papaya. Tera kim teaches dancing to remind people of their connection to nature. Whilejeju island is facing a rapidly changing climate, the erosion of the antarctic wilderness is presenting scientists a new set of questions. They are attempting to determine the age of the ice sheet, to track its glacial history. Antarctica contains enough sea ice to raise sea levels by about four metres. Where we are working in the amundsen sea, which has some of the fastest changing ice. The amundsen and glaciers that contains them are of particular interest to scientists around the world because of this rapid change. In order to understand how the ice might behave in the future, one of the crucial pieces of information is to understand how it behaved during past times of warmer conditions. Drilling kilometre long sediment and rock cores into water thousands of metres deep is uncovering vital information. Hidden within hundreds of metres of core are microscopic treasures. The continent scale ice sheet has grown and shrunk over millions of years. But as a way to determine when that has happened, we need a time machine or a record of how it has behaved in the past. 0ur sedimentary deposits and our drill core provide that time machine. But in order to determine the exact age, we use tiny microscopic fossils made of glass, and these organisms give us a key to understanding these past records. These are known as diatoms. Diatoms are photosynthetic algae that live around the world in watery environments. They are very small, typically in the order of 50 microns. 0ne micron is 1000th of a millimetre, so very small, we need a microscope to study them. Under the microscope most diatoms look like small discs of silica with very fine holes that are arranged in very ornate patterns. In antarctica, diatoms are of particular importance for dating rocks, or determining the ages of ancient rock layers. The history of the Antarctic Ice sheet is recorded in these rock layers. Antarctica is a vast continent. We know surprisingly little about its history, and these glassy organisms are one of the primary ways in which we can date the rocks from around antarctica and determine the evolution of the ice sheets through time. These tiny glass fossils are the time travellers of antarctic science. They help scientists to understand the history of this vast continent. And to predict the future of antarcticas ice sheets in what is projected to be a much warmer planet. Across the world, there are people striving to provide sustainable and Innovative Solutions to some of our biggest challenges. High and low tech, large and small scale. They are working towards preserving the earths Natural Resources and protecting our planet. Hello, good evening. Earlier today, the temperatures again reached the mid 20s across south eastern parts of england. But theyve dropped significantly since then, once this band of cloud came in and brought a burst of rain. The same cloud early on brought quite heavy rain over the hills of scotland, Northern Ireland. You can see how the cloud has swept its way south eastwards and then more broken cloud, shower cloud, following behind. But we are assuring in much cooler and fresher air for the start of the new month, for the start of meteorological autumn. A north westerly breeze. The wind has been quite strong earlier today, especially in ilkley, but at least we had some sunshine. Clearer skies for many places overnight. One or two showers continuing across Northern Ireland. Mostly into scotland, the odd one coming down into parts of england and wales. Clearer skies further south, the wind dropping and temperatures dropping as well. Cooler than last night, typically 7 9 degrees, in towns and cities. Sunny start for many parts of england and wales in particular. Some sunshine in between showers in Northern Ireland and scotland. Showers pushing east over scotland into north east england, down towards the wash and those showers may be heavy and thundery. Very few showers coming into wales and the midlands. It may be dry over southern england, temperatures snaking up to 20 degrees but for many, a cool 15 17. Further cloud coming into Northern Ireland bringing showers, pushing them east, with heavier showers over eastern scotland and north east england fading away. Some breaks in the cloud overnight as we move into monday. The start of the new week, it may start rather chilly in North Eastern scotland, temperatures only two or three degrees. Going to replace the north westerly breeze with a west to south westerly wind from the atlantic again, around this area of high pressure, the weather fronts focusing some rain for Northern England. A chilly start, some sunshine to start the day but cloud increasing, some rain perhaps for Northern Ireland, the bulk of it pushing over scotland. Heavy rain over the hills of western scotland. Quite windy. Temperatures may be 15 degrees in glasgow, 22 in london and the home counties. For the start of the week, continuing a blustery westerly wind, bringing outbreaks of rain, mainly to western areas, but then more of a north westerly weight is going to drop temperatures from midway and well see some sunshine and some showers.
