Floods left many people homeless. For many local residents, it was a break from the flood clean up. Alasdair gill reports. Christmas in fishla ke has not been cancelled, at least the local fair hasnt. And its a warm and welcome respite from Flood Recovery for the villages residents. As you can see, its very full and very busy because of the determination here within fishlake to rebuild what we had and to do our best to keep it alive. 11 days ago, much of thorninghurst farm was under water. Today looks a lot better, but the hidden cost is huge. Farmer steven gilliard reckons hes looking at a bill of around £250,000. Contamination now, fuel burst, central heating tanks out the village. All that fuels flowed to me. And now sat all over the grassland, which we need to graze and were pedigree breeders, were now going to vaccinate for diseases which you you could get from flooded grazing land. Who pays for that . Looking at me at this moment. Community spirit here is what is getting people through. Last week, the Sheffield SteelersIce Hockey Team came to lend a hand. Tonight, theyve given free match tickets to fishlake residents. Away from the water for a little while and a break from reality, which is absolutely wonderful. Were hugely grateful to them. Those tickets and the Christmas Fair are relatively small things, but they are a welcome escape from the hard realities so many people here are now facing. Alister gill, bbc look north, fishlake. Now on bbc news, its time for the travel show. Hello and welcome to the travel show, with me lucy hedges, coming to you this week from rwanda. I am in the capital kigali, to meet the people determined to make the country one of east africas cultural hotspots. How do i look . Good . Cat is in copenhagen, skiing on the roof of a power plant. Laughs. I just want to make it down without falling over and simon calder is back with his tips on how to take a new train link to the worlds coldest city. Yakutsk, in north east siberia, is now easier to reach. We start this week in copenhagen. By 2025 the danes hope this will become the worlds very first Carbon Neutral capital city. We sent cat moh to find out how they are getting on. Denmark is a country that takes its eco friendly reputation very seriously. We start this week in copenhagen. By 2025 the danes hope this will become the worlds very first Carbon Neutral capital city. We sent cat moh to find out how they are getting on. Denmark is a country that takes its eco friendly reputation very seriously. It is claimed that more than two thirds of their waste is recycled, and 30 of all their Energy Consumption comes from renewable sources. They even say the harbour is clean enough for you to swim in. Not something ill be trying on a cold winters day. Instead i am on a goboat, one of a fleet of electric boats available to hire here in copenhagen. It is charged back at the dock with solar panels. That means no noisy engines, and low co2 emissions. This green drive has had another added push, with the opening of a new tourist attraction built on top of the unlikeliest of buildings, a power station. Fuelled by waste and billed as one of the most environmentally friendly plants of its kind, opened last month, the copenhill spans more than 40,000 square metres. This slope i am on works its way from the bottom all the way up the side of the building, and its open every day of the week for hikers, sightseers and even skiers. The ski slope is made from a slippery Synthetic Material which is coloured green to stop the slope from discolouring. They are still doing a bit of work up here, but look, right over there, thats sweden, which is very cool. And on the other side, we have this amazing view of copenhagen. And how did you guys come up with putting a ski slope up here . One of the things we realised quite quickly is that if you take a section of the building it actually steps down from low to high, from the area where the trucks drive into the boilers, the flue gas treatment areas, up to about 90 metres. The other thing about denmark is that danes love to ski, but denmark is completely flat. So they will drive for three hours to sweden to ski on a slope that is about 80 metres high. So we quickly realised that since we have mountains of trash apparently, we could turn it into mountains of recreation and skiing, that could become a public amenity in the very centre of the city of copenhagen. Sustainability tends to be this thing that is seen as protestant act, something you do which means that you have to do less of something, that you somehow have to have less life experience. But what we really wanted to do with this project is express that somehow sustainability can be something that is positive and fun, and actually gives more back to people, and to the city. Inside, a glass lift shows people the inner workings of the power station. And tours are available as an apres ski activity. So explain to me whats going on, there seems to be a mix of leftover tree branches, but also general waste as well. Thats correct. We receive waste from five municipalities, both from households and from industries, all the waste that cannot be recycled. How often do these trucks come, because there seems to be a steady flow, even just standing here for the past few minutes. We have around 300 lorries coming in on a daily basis. Inside the waste silo, giant grabbers mix the rubbish before dropping it into the furnace. This is where the waste is being incinerated, i will show you over here, it is quite a sight. Oh, my eyes it is like staring into the pit of hell. The plant generates electricity, and potentially enough annual heating for 150,000 homes. We have waste in copenhagen, we will keep on producing waste in copenhagen and the rest of the world, so this is a product that is already here so we might as well use it or something reasonable, something that makes sense. Back on the slope, its time for me to get my skis on. Can i borrow your boot for one moment . Just one is fine, thank you. I have not been a dry ski slope for maybe 15 years. You will have fun. I have been on actual snow. Yeah, well it is quite different. Speed is your friend up there. Speed is my friend. Yeah. I dont really know how this is going to go, if i am going to wipe out. Laughs. I just want to make it down without falling over screams. After that initial wobble, i was soon feeling confident. Maybe a bit too confident. Laughs. That went really well and the copenhill is open now, to skiers of all abilities. And if you are thinking of travelling to denmark, here are some things we think you should look out for. If you are staying in copenhagen, you could cycle to tivoli gardens. Established in 1843, its one of the worlds oldest and prettiest amusement parks, plus it is right in the city. Fairytale writer Hans Christian anderson is said to have visited many times, and it is rumoured walt disney found the inspiration for his own disney world here. If you are feeling brave, you could take icy dip of the northern tip of denmark. It is the skagen winter swimming festival anyone who takes part earns the title of icebreaker. 0rganisers promise it will be an atmospheric and invigorating event. Or, for something very different, horsens jail in thejutland region is hosting a prison ink festival in may. 250 tattoo artists from around the world will be on hand to ink you up. 0rganisers are expecting around 5000 people to attend over the three day event. Malaysians themselves admit that nothing unites their multicultural nation better than their food. So we are in sarawak to see what goes into their unofficial official national dish. I am zak gan. People know me as the laughing boss. We have a restaurant here in kuching, sarawak. Today i am going to teach you how to cook basic nasi lemak with a few twists. Nasi lemak is steamed white rice infused with coconut milk, and the most important part is the sambal, the spicy signature red sauce. You have the rice and water, and this is the most important thing, the coconut milk. Nasi lemak without the coconut milk, you would not have the lemak. And then this pandan leaf, for the flavour, for the fragrance. When it is ready, the smell will tell you, the fragrance will tell you. Now we move over to the sambal. Big onion. Everyone can have nasi lemak. It is a typical malay recipe. In the kampong you sell this, i think, 2 3 ringgit, you got to make it simple, make it nice. And if you want it in a five star hotel, they give it a longer name, theyll call it steamed white rice infused with coconut milk, seasoned with special signature spicy red sauce. That you can sell 30 ringgit. This one. 2 ringgit. Laughs. Perfect. This is golden brown, we just add in this, this is the chilli paste. And then the sour papaya. You can smell it from 1000 miles away. That is exactly how you cook a traditional basic sambal. 0k, yep. 0k, there we go. The cucumber slice, the deep fried anchovies, and there we have it the perfect Nasi Lemak Nasi lemak can go with anything, from Fried Chicken to peking duck. Or you can go basic. There you go. The spiciness, the coconut milk, awesome stick around, because still to come on the travel show, our global guru, simon calder, explores how to reach the worlds coldest city by train. And i am in kigali, seeing how the city is transforming into a cultural hotspot. I think i made it through about half of that choreography these kids are so good hello again. Today im focusing on a subject that more of you want to know about than any other, Budget Travel in europe. I aim to help with seeing dubrovnik on a shoestring, recommending the best greek island for a cut price ay escape, and the tricky business of International Rail travel. First, though, as winter gets a grip on the northern hemisphere, the worlds coldest city, ya kutsk in north east siberia, is now easier to reach. A new railway line connects the city to the rest of the russian rail network, almost. The wide lena river stops the line just short of the city, but in winter when the river is frozen, vehicles take passengers a short distance from the end of the line to yakutsk, and in summer there are ferries. Back here in europe, Bethany Hughes wants to know dubrovnik and budget used to go well together in the same sentence. But croatias most beautiful city is now very firmly on the tourist trail. As a result, prices for everything from coffee to souvenirs have soared, and finding bargains is challenging. For eating, drinking, chilling and quite possibly sleeping, i urge you to consider cavtat, a a0 minute boat ride from dubrovnik. This spectacular town was once a roman colony, greek outpost, and is now a backwater without the crowds at high prices of dubrovnik. Edward mcgeary has a romantic plan for 2020 hello, edward, and thank you for your question. To help you out with this, i saw somebody with specialist knowledge. One of the most romantic greek islands is the island of milos. It is only a0 minutes from athens by ferry. It has some of the best beaches in greece and great cuisine. For your stay, i would suggest either the town of adamas or pollonia. Many viewers have got in touch to say they want to switch from air to rail. But some, like ben vos, say they are finding it difficult to Source International train tickets. I have many Years Experience of organising rail travel in europe, and regretfully, i still havent found an agent who can successfully connect any two points on the continent. However, i hope i can help you reach the swedish capital. Because you know exactly where you want to be, when, i dont recommend interrail. Instead, i suggest you use sncf, french railways or its partner talus to get to brussels. From there, german railways can get you to copenhagen in several hops, but on a single ticket. And swedish railways will go from the danish capital to stockholm in under six hours. The earlier you book and the more flexible you can be comedy lower the cost. Whatever you are heading, i am here to help. Just send in your questions. Ill do my very best to find you an answer. From me, simon calder, the global guru, bye for now, and see you next time. Rwanda has just topped the 2020 africa destination list, and i am here in the capital, kigali. The city is a hub for start ups, it has a buzzing art scene, and great local entertainment. But while most travellers whizz through here to get straight to the rwandan wildlife, i have come to see what the capital has to offer. Welcome to rwanda the city is impressively spotless, there is wi fi everywhere, and perhaps most importantly, there is a real sense of pride bursting from every Single Person i talked to. This is thanks in no small part to the National Made in rwanda initiative, a movement to support and inspire local businesses, and the made in rwanda label is now a badge of honour. This all reflects the new rwandan identity, no longer divided along ethnic or tribal lines. I am at the house of tayo, where designer Matthew Rugamba set up shop years ago. He has seen his brand grow in popularity since the launch of the made in rwanda label. He has even seen his clothes strutted on the red carpet for the launch of the blockbuster black panther. I want to utilise as much local talent and expertise as i can. Its very important that we build a local ecosystem of models, photographers, lighting experts, only when we do that can we say that we have a local fashion industry. Im dying to find out about the wakanda premiere suit he made for the brother of lupita nyongo. The suit was made remotely, and he worked on photographs, working right down to the wire. We got in about three or four hours before the actual premier. Cutting it fine yes. Bloodshot eyes, because you havent sle pt. Exactly, even when he got the suit i wasnt sure it would fit. It was an absolute miracle that it fit. It was really exciting. It was an important time for rwandan fashion. Tayo and other designers are notjust arriving here in rwanda, but are now selling their goods abroad. Fashion is not the only thing that is growing here thanks to the made in rwanda slogan. Music and dance has always been away for people to express themselves, and now, with the national revival, you go far here without hearing a drumbeat. Inema is one of east africas largest arts centres, with a range of rwandan cultural experiences. How do i look . Good . I have noticed this real sense of pride in being rwandan. Why is this done so symbolic of rwandan culture . It is essential for the kids to have some sort of identity, and understanding of dance, their culture, it is very good as you move forward. Well, i guess you can tell what is going to happen next. Here we go i think i made it through about half of that choreography. These kids are so good ive had so much fun today getting stuck into rwandan culture. Now im ordering a cocktail and i am about to kick back and enjoy concert, rwanda style. I am here to see dayo perform, one of kigalis rising music sensations. The ingoma is our traditional music. It is a history, it is our identity. Many years ago it was getting disappeared. So i decided to introduce my music to the new world. Such a beautiful sound. The lyrics of your music, what do they mean, what are you saying in your songs . I want everyone to know our culture, how we are doing, i history. And listening to a story, where we come from, how we are going on. It gives the inspiration to other missions, so i want to tell the people about our country. This new generation of rwandans who have now moved on from the countrys darker, violent past, are shedding light and colour across the country. And while most travellers are rushed through kigali, it is worth keeping some time aside to explore the people, their crafts in this bustling city. Well, that is it for this week. Join us if you can, next week, when cat is back in iceland with a new kind of sanctuary for beluga whales is getting ready for its residents. If you insist, if you insist there we go. There was another little burp. Hello catch that, if you can. But in the meantime, dont forget, we are all over social media, so why not sign up to us there and join us out here on the road in real time, and also share your travel stories with the rest of the world. Until then, from me and the rest of the team, its goodbye. Hello. After a very wet day across parts of the uk on saturday, sunday promises to be a drier day, albeit with a lot of cloud and some misty, murky conditions. But, briefly, we have a weak ridge of High Pressure extending across the uk. Still some rain to talk about at first on sunday, particularly for eastern scotland, still on the heavy side. Slowly that heavy rain pushes its way across northern scotland, and eventually becomes confined to the Northern Isles through the day. Quite wet and windy here. But elsewhere, turning drier across scotland, largely dry across northern ireland, england and wales, but with a lot of cloud and some mist, some patchy fog through the morning. That will be slow to clear, Poor Visibility in places, so any brightness really at a premium on sunday. But away from the Northern Isles, its mainly dry, mild, 9 12 celsius the top temperature. And then our attention turns to the south west, our next area of rain pushing into South West England and south wales through the evening and overnight, not getting much further north and eastwards. Quite a wet start to the week across South West England and wales. Further north and east, mainly dry, mild, temperatures not much lower than five or six celsius, but generally the theme in the week ahead is for more rain. This is the set up as we go into monday. An area of low pressure, frontal systems pushing their way north and eastwards. Looks like the heaviest of the rain on monday is probably going to be across england and wales. As it tracks its way north and eastwards through the day, it starts to become a little bit patchier. But there will be some outbreaks of rain in northern ireland. Could pep up for a little bit across Northern England for a time, into southern scotland. Northern scotland probably escaping, mainly dry. Some brightness and sunshine following on behind the rain across wales and South West England, but also a few showers. But it is another mild day, 9 13 celsius. Now, one area of low pressure pulls away into the north sea. Heres our next one arriving as we go into tuesday. This has the remnants of what was Tropical Storm sebastian, so its going to pep up the rain, strengthen the wind. The timings of this rain may well change as we go into tuesday, so keep an eye on the forecast if you can over the next 24 48 hours. But it looks like well see another spell of quite heavy rain at times, strong winds as well, particularly across wales and South West England. Some spells of sunshine following on behind the rain, but also some heavy showers. So, all in all, its a really unsettled and often quite windy day on tuesday. Still mild, 10 13 celsius. Bear in mind there are some warnings in place for the rain on both monday and tuesday. All the details are on the website. It looks like, as the week goes on, things do eventually turn drier, but also colder again. Bye bye. Welcome to bbc news. Im simon pusey. Our top stories lets start in hong kong where local elections are underway. The authorities have threatened to suspend voting if theres serious trouble but pro democracy campaigners have told their supporters not to cause any disruption. This vote is the first to take place since protests and often violent clashes with police started back in june. So it will be a test of support for the pro democracy activists and for the citys chief executive carrie lam, seen here casting her ballot in the last hour or so. The poll is for the lowest rung of government in the city. More than 1,000 candidates are running, competing for more than a50 seats throughout the citys 18 districts
