Face coverings have become compulsory in more public spaces in england and scotland. People visiting museums, cinemas and places of worship will have to cover their faces in england, and the new rule applies to any sales area thats open to the public in scotland. Katy austin reports. The big screen is back. Ten of cinema chain vues 90 sites reopened yesterday, including this one in londons shepherds bush, after more than four months closed. So, are you a little bit excited . Too excited to say a little bit. And what are you going to see . Im going to see dream build. Things are different, including one way systems and enhanced cleaning. Booking online and getting your ticket on a mobile phone app are encouraged, and there is no picknmix here. Now in england and scotland cinemas, Face Coverings are mandatory, although vue says it wont police them, recognising some people have valid exemptions. You do need to wear a Face Covering around most parts of the cinema, but while youre eating or drinking, for example, munching your popcorn as you watch the film, you dont need to be wearing it. And seating is allocated ina way that there is a safe distance between different household groups. That does limit how many people can be at a showing. We think approximately we will be running at around 50 capacity. It depends on the layout of the screen and the layout of the cinema itself and the nature of the group sizes that come in. Vues phased restart reflects whats happening across the country. Last weekend, 272 uk cinema sites were open, around a third of the total. Its thought lockdown cost the industry at least £500 million, and so far, box office takings have been low, both because of the lower capacity and because blockbusters have been postponed. There were nine new releases this week compared to 17 in the same week last year. That might mean a bumper crop in 2021, but one expert says not all cinemas will survive until then. Its not really about that. Its about which cinemas went into the covid lockdown if you were to look at large or small, its not really about that. Its about which cinemas went into the covid lockdown with liquidity and cash in the bank. This is its really challenging for everyone. There wont be the same level of demand for the next two or so years, but those cinemas that deserve to survive because theyve been great before will be great going forward, and others will need some restructuring to move forward. The cinema industry is confident people want to return. The Big Questions are whether they will be keen to see the old favourites currently on offer and, of course, how confident they are. Katy austin, bbc news. Now on bbc news, the travel shows injapan as ceremonies take place to mark the 75th anniversary of the atomic bomb attacks on hiroshima and nagasaki. Its been 75 years, but survivors argue their memories of Nuclear Attack still need to be heard. This week, hiroshima and nagasaki and the anniversary too important to cancel. Hello and welcome to the travel show, coming to you this week from hiroshima, around 900 kilometres south west of tokyo. 75 years ago, the worlds first atomic bomb fell on this city, killing tens of thousands of people in a blinding flash of light and, three days later, another bomb fell on nagasaki. In this weeks show, well be meeting the survivors of those attacks and seeing how events designed to mark the 75th anniversary have faired during the global pandemic. Also coming up on this weeks show christa covers the wartime secrets buried deep beneath gibraltar. We meet the people still trapped a long way from home because of covid 19. We feel like hostage here on board as we have no choice except to being in our cabin. And rajan gets to grips with some new gadgets designed for a perfectly socially distanced holiday. I have come to a city injapan thats known all around the world, but its known forjust one event the devastation and destruction caused by an American Nuclear bomb dropped on this city 75 years ago this month during the final days of the second world war. Today, though, much of hiroshima looks like any other japanese city. In fact, coronavirus aside, its doing well. This exhibition shows how the city has blossomed since. Each august, the city commemorates the event. But as this years big 75th anniversary approached, coronavirus had severely restricted what was possible. So this is to remember the dead. This is in honour of those who died and families come here and offer prayers for the souls of those who died. At hiroshimas peace park, an area that was once one of the citys busiest commercial hubs, but was flattened by the blast has been made into a focus for its annual commemorations. About 60,000 or 70,000 people were killed on that day and mostly because of the radiation and injuries, up to 100,000 people died by the end of 1945. In whats been the effect on hiroshima today . It has scarred the city. People were terrified of radiation and people stayed away from hiroshima. People who were from here were discriminated against and it took the town a long time to rebuild, but in its rebuilding, one of its focuses was on trying to seek to eliminate Nuclear Weapons in the world. So its really always remained a central defining aspect of this citys experience and the citys focus. The testimony of survivors here can reveal japans difficult relationship with memories of the second world war. The number of survivors are dwindling every year and this years ceremonies will be the last significant anniversary many will attend. But despite the limitations placed on proceedings because of the pandemic, many are still eager to come out and tell their story. And its not just personal testimonies which have a part to play in this years events. Across the city, a piano tuner was preparing his special piano that had been exposed to the blast 75 years ago for this years scaled down ceremony in the peace park. On august 6, the peace park ceremony went ahead, but with a socially distanced setup, allowing just 10 of the 11,000 attendees that were originally anticipated. Well, the anniversaries here in hiroshima and nagasaki arent the only world war ii commemorations to be affected by the coronavirus pandemic this year. Celebrations to mark the 75th anniversary of the victory in europe day back in may were also relatively low key. Up next, though, while travel returns to normal in some parts of the world, elsewhere, some people are still stranded a very long way from home. Weve been to meet some of them. Marooned off the coast of brazil and the South Atlantic Ocean are three cruise ships. Trapped on board are a total of 103 mauritian and madagascan crewmembers. All passengers and some of the crew left in march, but those left on board have been unable to return home since the borders to their countries closed. I wanted to get home to mauritius because im missing my family and my loving one. I want to get home to mauritius because i belong there. I want to get home to mauritius because my mother just passed away. All please lift the restrictions and let us go back to mauritius. To be stranded on board, far from our country, far from our family is very difficult because we are stressed here and we dont know exactly when we are going to be repatriated. We feel very lonely and depressed to get home and praying to be on land soon. We feel like hostage here on board as we have no choice except being in our cabin, on our balcony, and taking our meal all the day. Now, another group of people who have been particularly hard hit by changing Government Policies are australians. As cases rise, strict arrival caps have been imposed, leaving people stranded. Airlines have been forced to limit the number of passengers on their flights, pushing up ticket prices and making returning home even more out of reach. Im originally from the uk, but ive lived in australia now for a number of years and im married to an australian, were all australian citizens, weve got four kids. We came on holiday initially in early march for a 3 week holiday to visit family in the uk and weve been trapped here ever since, stranded. And its now getting on for about 11. 5 months. The main challenges is that weve got a small house and there are six of us. So we are filming this where i actually sleep. This is my dads study in a shed in the garden. And the uncertainty of not knowing when that would stop has been particularly difficult. When the australians decided to put limitations on the number of people arriving because of pressures on quarantine, the airlines have actually been forced to discriminate against the economy passengers and so weve actually been removed from a couple of flights. So its not that we dont want to get home, its not that we havent been trying to get home. Weve done everything in our financial means to get home, but werejust not able to. British citizen tom russell has been stranded in accra, ghana where his Week Research trip turned into a 5 month aid operation. I was due to fly out of ghana the day after it closed, and ive had ten flights cancelled since. The trick is to accept you are stuck somewhere, and as soon as you do that, you just get on with life as much as you can, as opposed to kind of dwelling on it. And thats exactly what tom did, by setting up give back ghana. The project started when tom set up boxes giving enough food for ten families for one week, which he gave back to locals to help funding for his trip. Have allowed tom and his ghanaian Business Partner have put together thousands of boxes to help people across accra. I think it has completely changed my experience for the positive. Ive met so many people through this. Every part of it has given it some value as well. Id like to see my friends and family, but the project is on here, and ive got to run with what ive started. Well, lets hope they all make it home safely soon. Still to come on the travel show rajan has some suggestions to keep your travel bubble intact if you are heading off on holiday. And christa finds theres more to gibraltar than first meets the eye. With the world slowly returning to some kind of normality, its only natural that people are wondering where they can go on their next trip. But what do you do if you want to remain socially distanced from others but are still desperate for some kind of holiday . Rajan might just have the answer. Well, yes, with fears of a second imminent wave of the virus and spikes being reported across the globe, the idea of social distancing while travelling does sound like a good one. Conventional crowded summer hotspots like beaches, theme parks and busy cities are being avoided by many people in favour of more rural locations to allow for social distancing. So with all of this going on, its hardly surprising that some fun but pretty unconventional ways of travelling are rising in popularity. Around the world, businesses have been creating innovative ways for people to still have fun travelling while remaining safe. According to manufacturers, the ququq camping module is a mini mobile home in a box, which means everything you need is in one place to set off on a wild adventure without seeing a single soul, if thats your thing. How easy is that to turn this into a mobile home . Lets do it. Developed by a husband and wife duo in germany back in 2011, the boxes are now being used all over the globe. Well, voila amazing. As easy as that. Tell me, where did the idea come from . Prior to this, pretty much if someone wanted to use their own vehicle, it was our bed, mattresses, lying on a cold floor not very convenient, not all of their kit in one space. Its a proper stove. It will allow you to have an adventure effectively in the vehicle you already own and be able to social distance if you needed to or wished to. And moving directly from the campsite to the open water. What if i told you you could buy a caravan and you could move from land to water and sail it out to sea . Kind of james bond for campers, right . Where did the idea for the sealander come from . My goald was to bring a new an innovative craft to an Old Fashioned caravan market especially for people looking for more freedom and more flexibility in their leisure time. This solution is a kind of dream of everybody, so its notjust physical, its also symbolic for possibilities follow your own path. I guess ultimately, daniel, the beauty of this is you can travel across land and in water without meeting other people. Thats the soul of our product. You are free to do whatever you want to wherever you want. With Hotel Occupancy rates down globally and the virus not showing any signs of leaving us anytime soon, is the uptrend and socially distanced travelling a fad . I dont think it will be a trend. I feel that the quicker we find a vaccine, there is a possibility we will go back to as it was before. I think if it takes longer, we will actually learn a lesson about this. We will appreciate travel more. Everything has become very homogeneous, and the reason behind travelling in the first place is that we wanted to explore and see something different, not something the same, and i think weve lost the plot about this way. What kind of activities or holidays can you see prospering in the future in this world . 0utdoor travel will become big. Adventure travel will become big. Touring holidays where you have small groups so youve got about four or five people per guide. Theres a lot of stuff on our doorstep that looks like overseas. One of my favourite countries in the world is canada. I absolutely adore it. Im not going to go to it this year, but scotland is like a mini canada. So there are lots of places that will resonate, and weve got plenty of opportunity to social distance, our budget. To finish up this week we had back to some of the darkest days of world war ii. The british territory of gibraltar was vital for allied access to the mediterranean, but its very location made it vulnerable to enemy attacks, which is why a secret network of tunnels was built there. But before lockdown, christa headed there to discover some of its hidden past. This tiny territory on europes southern tip has been the subject of fierce diplomatic wrangling for years. Spain claims sovereignty, but its been ruled by britain since 1713. Tourists have always come here to take in the sunshine and feed the famous barbary macaques, and its not hard to see why this rock has been such a prized military asset too, especially during the second world war. Up here on top of the rock, you really get a sense of why this was so strategically important during the war. As we follow the map, you can see the mountains of africa to one side, and weve got spain on the other side of the rock, and of course the entrance to the mediterranean from the atlantic, so a really important place, this. Inside the rock itself, work has been going on which is revealing 1000 years of history, including information on how this place was repurposed as a military h0. Gibraltar is a fortress and its covered in fortifications, but notjust on the outside. In fact gibraltar is honeycomb with tunnels, and theres 44 miles of tunnel inside the rock, which is more than double the amount of roads we got on the outside. So yes, gibraltar is a living fortress. These tunnels . They all connect up, and there are hospitals, theres kitchens, theres a bakery, theres frozen food stores. The plan was to be able to house and caterfor 16,000 and women. 16,000 . Yes. These rooms used to be the kings regiment headquarters. But one discovery in the 1990s stunned gibraltarians the infamous stay behind cave. All to do with an urban myth that was hanging around town . People used to talk about this . About hidden tunnels, secret tunnels. So for many years people were looking for them, but no one ever found anything, so by the 1990s it was dismissed as an urban myth until one day some of the cavers found something. If gibraltar were to fall into enemy hands, a top secret plan called 0peration tracer was to bury six men in the rock with six weeks supply of food. The job was to spy and radio back intelligence to the uk. What do we have here . This is what would have been the main living chamber. If you look at the floor, its been covered by cork tiles. Now, the idea of this was to suppress any noise so the men wouldnt make any noise while they were living here. This would have been the radio shack. And the latrines. Of the six people chosen, there were two radio operators, a doctor, an officer and a signalman. And here we have the remains of a bicycle. And instead of a bicycle chain, it had a leather strap, and that would have provided a means of generating electricity to power their radio. Also at the back you can see there is a fan attached to what would have been the back wheel, and the idea was that was going to provide ventilation. The plan was for the men to hide and monitor air traffic on and off the runway, and shipping movements into the med, the bay of gibraltar and the atlantic. This was their only access to daylight. This is a really plumb spot. Thats why they chose this particular point of view. Access here is limited, but through the gibraltar museum, 30 people a year are able to visit the stay behind cave on a first come, first served basis. Christa exploring some hidden World War Ii History there in gibraltar. Thats it for this week. Well be back with a new travel show very soon. Next week theres another chance to see rajan making his way down the mighty river sava in the balkans. Join rajan for that if you can. But from me and the rest of the team here injapan, its goodbye. Hello there. Pressure is on to bring in the harvest. There is heavy rain and thunderstorms in the forecast for next week. At the moment, its all about how high the temperatures are going to get. It wasnt quite as hot on saturday as it was on friday. But still, the temperature in hampshire reached 3a degrees. The highest temperatures were in sussex and at frittenden in kent, and its these sort of areas that well see the focus of the heat again during sunday. We start with some very high temperatures in the morning in the southeast corner of england, perhaps 19 20 degrees. Again, its cooler as you had further north, maybe 11 5 in the northwest of scotland. In between, we have got this zone of cloud thats pushed in off the north sea. There may be 1 2 light showers in that as well. Any shower threatening the far southeast should move away. Gradually, the sunshine develops more widely, the cloud gets burned back onto some of those north seacoasts. We have got that onshore breeze keeping it a little bit cooler as well. With that sort of wind direction, cooler across eastern scotland than western scotland. Northern ireland, temperatures will reach 20 degrees. The heat, though, is really focused on the south midlands, southeast wales, the west country, southeast england and east anglia. 33 34, possibly even 35 degrees to the west of london. Into next week, the heat will slowly subside, and it is only very slowly, but we have got this increasing risk of some torrential rain and thunderstorms. That could start to develop on sunday night into monday morning, and the focus looks like its more of these Western Areas with those storms pushing their way northwards. Now, large parts of the country will still be dry and quite sunny. More sunshine, perhaps, around some of those north seacoasts. But, again, the highest temperatures are towards the southeast of the uk. Now, whats happening is that higher pressure is less in charge of our weather. Pressure is falling from the south, weve got a weather front trying to push in from the west as well. So the air is essentially destabilising, which is why we have got this increased risk of some very heavy and thundery rain. The devil is in the detail, and there is still a lot of uncertainty. But it looks like on tuesday, most of those downpours are moving northwards across Northern England and scotland. But later in the day, we could see some developing further south across parts of england. Still some strong sunshine and, again, the focus of those higher temperatures will be across eastern 00 29 11,046 2147483051 51 20,237 and southeastern 2147483051 51 20,237 4294966103 13 29,430 parts of england
