The governments eat 0ut to help 0ut scheme, which encouraged more people to use restaurants and cafes after lockdown restrictions were eased, has ended on monday night. And its been very successful, with calls for it to continue. In the last month, 64 million discounted meals have been dished up, in 84,000 restau ra nts a nd cafes across the uk. Heres katy austin. Serving up one last day of government subsidised meals, diners in Central London today said the incentive had tempted them out more. Not gonna lie, ive been going out every week. I mean, when will we get this opportunity again . So, yeah, make the most of it, really. You see a lot of people everywhere, you know, brings back the source of human feeling thats been missing. Yeah, were going to go and get some lunch, i think, like with friends. We are going to google on the government website where has actually still got it. But were probably glad that some places extending it, to be honest. Down on the south coast in bournemouth, restaurants we visited said there had been a healthy appetite for the discount. Record trade at this african restaurant has helped to claw back some lockdown losses. So this is our outdoor terrace, and it has just been busy like this almost constantly. But the boss wants the scheme to return. Give september that breathing space, let the schools open, and then bring it back in october and november, where predominantly its going to be quietest part of the year, and thats where the biggest worry is. The boom in visitors and people on staycations that bournemouth has seen this summer helps to explain why restaurants and pubs in the town have seen such a big boost from the government discount scheme. That is not the case everywhere, though. Location is key in determining how successful the past month has been for businesses. Pub giant green king, which has around 3000 sites, said some in particular have struggled. 0ur Central London was about 30 down year on year, so it is pretty stark. I have called for government to think about maybe doing a similar scheme for city centres and for london. You know, we need to get people back into our city centres, and particularly into Central London. The government doesnt plan to extend the scheme, but said its helping the sector in other ways too. This london cafe is one of a large number carrying on their own half price offer in september. It still needs a boost following a terriblejuly. Now were telling everybody that we continue so you can see people are extremely happy and i think it will help us a lot for the trade, and as well we can have a lot of people who are back to work in the offices. With the furlough scheme coming to an end in october, businesses like these hope peoples interest in eating out will still be on the menu come the autumn. Katie austin, bbc news. Now on bbc news, another chance to join mike corey in this classic travel show episode as he travels across malaysias biggest state, sarawak, and ventures deep into the bornean ra i nfo rest. This week on the travel show, im in the jungles of borneo exploring malaysias biggest state sarawak. In the western corner of malaysian borneo, sarawak has some of the most spectacular and diverse ecosystems, but it can be overlooked by tourists drawn to bright lights or its neighbour state sabah. So im going to discover for myself the sites and inhabitants of this remarkable state. Along the way, ill be hanging out with these guys. Climbing jagged peaks. Easily one of the most beautiful and one of the most difficult hikes i have done. And, getting a taste of one of the worlds most remote food festivals. I have to work on my snail sucking technique. I love sarawak so much. We are very unique in sarawak. We have 26 ethnic groups in sarawak. My trip starts here, in sarawaks biggest city, kuching. And the word kuching, it means something special, right . Yes, kuching means cat like the city of cats . Yes, cat city. We are starting here in the state capital, kuching, and travelling all the way over here to the kelabit highlands. Its going to be a journey. On my first stop, im going to meet one of the states most iconic residents. And here he is the orangutan. Theres so much soul in their eyes. 97 of their dna is shared with humans, and thats where they get their name. 0rangutan means man of the forest. 0rangutans are native to only two islands in southeast asia. Some live on sumatra but the vast majority live here, in borneo. Ive come to the semenggoh nature reserve, where the rangers are preparing for the morning feed. It looks like they eat quite well because theres a whole buffet here and it seems like every day there is a different meal plan. Yes, today is saturday so they will have 21 kilos of bananas and then sweet potatoes, chicken eggs and pineapple. Oh, its heavy maybe 15 kilos. 0oh, okay where are we at . Almost 20. We are already 21 kg. So tell me whats special about semenggoh nature reserve . Ok, so Semenggoh Wildlife Centre is actually started off as a rehabilitation centre, so we were established back in 1975, so its more than a0 years ago. The reserve took orangutans that had been rescued from captivity or suffered from habitat loss and taught them how to live wild in the surrounding forest. Since then the Rehabilitation Programme has been moved elsewhere but the forest is still home to 33 orangutans and tourists have a chance to glimpse those tempted back by a free meal. Its very different than a zoo, then . Theres no orangutans in cages. Yeah, its totally different than a zoo. 0ur ranger, he will. No problem, enjoy. We will bring the fruits to the feeding area. When the tourists arrive, a ranger heads to the feeding platform to call the apes. Welcome to our centre. Coming here, it is not guaranteed that you will see an orangutan. You happen to see one, you consider yourself very lucky already. In the rainy season between november and march there is an abundance of fruit in the forest so the orangutans often dont need this extra food. But lucky for us, we dont have to wait long for a sighting. This is edwin, one of the biggest males in the park. Like the ranger said, this is not a zoo. The orangutans can come from any direction at any time so you have to be a little bit careful, especially around the big males like edwin here. While these orangutans are used to people, they are still unpredictable, so tourists are kept at a safe distance. Edwin, hes 23 years old, born in 1996 and he was the first male austrian born in semenggoh. Now fully grown, edwin is competing to become the reserves sole dominant male. Only one orangutan dares to approach him on the platform rescued from captivity in the 1970s and one of the first orangutans to be rehabilitated here. Are they a thing . Yeah, in a way. We call her the grand old lady because she is the oldest female, aged 48 years old. Wow and she is doing still very well. Shes a8, hes 23 . Thats quite a big age difference there, right . Yes, but love doesnt see age as a problem, no . Feeding times over. There is no more, and heres edwin. Oh, im a bit nervous to see him so close. Hes massive so much hair. If you saw that from behind you wouldnt know what it was. Sadly, despite conservation efforts, orangutans face an uncertain future. Over a 16 year period, the numbers in borneo fell by more than 100,000, a decline blamed on hunting and deforestation. Its now estimated that there are nowjust over 100,000 orangutans on the island. And so, the facility here, how does it help . By having a centre like semenggoh, people still get a sense of seeing the wild orangutan, and not disturb the orangutan in their nature habitat. And i guess the more people come here, the more they learn and that also helps as well. Yeah, definitely. The feel of excitement of seeing wild orangutans bring you closer to conservation efforts, and to be able to share it with people up there, it really means something. Next up, im crossing the state to reach sarawaks largest piece of protected rainforest. This place is teeming with wildlife, over 4,000 species of plants, 20,000 species of invertebrates, that means hundreds of different kinds of spiders, beetles, and butterflies. But no orangutans, though. Not here. Mulu is also home to one of the largest hunter gatherer tribes in southeast asia. A lot of their traditional tribal lands have been lost to deforestation. The vast majority now stay in settlements like this one. I didnt expect you to do that with the nose laughter so these are flutes, right . Blowpipe. Blowpipe you make these . Can you show me . 0h, isee. So you drill it by hand . So many times that would be countless hours. Ah, yes. You see, there we go. Blowpipes are the traditional hunting weapon. They are loaded with darts, tipped with a strong poison extracted from the bark of a local tree. And you would use one of these big ones . Well, im about six feet tall, maybe 1. 8 metres. Ok, so we are here like this, ammo goes in the back. Armed and dangerous. You first. Safety off. Sharpshooter i guarantee i will not. Like this . This . And then. 0k. Here we go, hopefully there will be some beginners luck. 0h. I hit the target further inside the park, there is a truly unique landscape. Below ground, there are some of the Worlds Largest caves, formed from limestone and shaped by millions of years of ground and rainwater. This process also created a bizarre collection of stone spires above the ground. They are called the pinnacles and i have come all the way up river to base camp five to see them. At almost 50 metres tall, the pinnacles are an imposing spectacles. But to get there, sightseers face a 3 day round trip and a long, brutal track through the rainforest. So the guys have some rules in place to make sure tourists are up to it. Now first 60 minutes, so this is considered as a check in point. If you make it more than 60 minutes, you are considered a slow climber and we have to say you are not qualified. So if i dont make the first checkpoint in 60 minutes, you turn around and say sorry, you are going back home . Yes, this is the rule here. 0k. Were just about to head to bed before the big hike tomorrow and this is bed tonight actually, underneath this mosquito net that is a bee, by the way. This is coming with me tomorrow. Shh there are some people sleeping and i just got shushed i am nervous for the hike tomorrow. It is supposed to be quite hard. A lot of very, very steep inclines. So im going to get a full eight hours tonight and i will see you in the morning and we will see if we can make it to the top. Caution a high degree of physical fitness is required past this point. Eight hours round trip. Return. Lead the way. Lets go i havejust 60 minutes to make it to the mini pinnacles, the first check point. You werentjoking. How is it . Steep the checkpoint is less than a kilometre up the slope, but the humidity makes it feel a lot further. Weve onlyjust started and im already pretty exhausted. And were here the pinnacles not quite, right . Mini pinnacles. That is that is not a joke having reached the check point within the time limit, its another kilometre before i reach the most treacherous stage. This is the first ladder, mike. 0k. Woo hoo right, larry, helmets on, right . All right. Who is first . After you. After me . 0k 0ne down, 17 more to go. The beautiful limestone cliffs are sharp but at least there are lots of places to grab onto. It looks like it is raining down there. You think it is going to rain . Yeah, it is going to be heavy rain. 500 metres to go. 100 metres to go. I hope we get there before the rain. What ladder is this . The last ladder. The last ladder . This looks like the summit. Is it it . Yeah, the summit is here. We are here, guys. Oh, wow yeah and there are so many of them 0h this is beautiful yep just daggersjutting out of the forest canopy. Yeah, it really is spectacular, right . The final stop in myjourney across sarawak is bario, in the highlands, home to one of the worlds most remote food festivals. It is not exactly a smooth road. It is being like a piece of buttery popcorn back here in the backseat, but it is a lot of fun i am quite an adventurous eater and i try everything once at least once. If it is not so good, then only once. But often, you come to the faraway places and you will find some pretty far out food and im hoping we will find some very interesting stuff bumped around and a little bruised from the journey, i get there to find the festival in full swing. Actually, we are catching the eye of a lot of the locals because there is not that many foreigners surprise, surprise in this part of the world. I dont know half of the food thats here today and that is quite exciting for me. A local farmer called dayang offers to show me around. Would you like to try our dure . I do not know what this is. It is an exotic vegetable found here. It is a plant that lives in the jungle . Yes. I could eat that all day. It is delicious. But it is kind of like i was thinking it will taste like spinach, but it does not at all. 0k. It tastes much heartier than spinach would. Would you like to try the akep . Yes, it looks to be like boiled snails. It smells like boiled snails too. This is how we do it. So this lives in the jungle as well . You suck it out . There you are. Just like that. So you bite you bit it first . Yeah, just a bit, not too much. A little bit is stuck on my teeth. 0k, and then you suck it . Just suck it right out . There we go. How do you find it . The taste must be fantastic . I would not use that word but it is not bad, very chewy this is classic, traditional food sourced from the surrounding area. Welcome to bario. Dayang takes me to her farm where she grows one very important ingredient. Each plant has one pineapple . Yes. So it will take about one year to ripen. This one looks ripe. Yes a golden yellow. So how do we can we pick one . How do we pick one . Sure, you can just pluck it. I will have puncture wounds after this, but it is ok. Hey, that was easy. And twist . Because it is golden, ripe pineapple. It is very sweet. Look at this, my very first pineapple. 0h. Back at the festival, locally grown pineapples have been made into jams, juices and even pineapple cider. Down the hatch. A little chunky. How many of these do i have to drink to have a really good day . Im not sure. Shall we find out . Im joking, im joking. Since it started in 2006, the festival has celebrated both the cuisine and the culture of the highlands. Up top there are some bags with soda pop, cookies. The point is the climb to the top and grab your prize and come back down. Emcee over loudspeaker excuse me, sir. Sir, you want to try . Apparently it is my turn. Ok, you can go. Give him a big clap so. Start slowly from the bottom. Yeah. Freestyle. Freestyle ok, here we go. Come on. Good try, come on as the games continue, my form does not really improve. Yeah come on it was by a feather that we lost. Yeah. Cheering and applause. A game that i am not bad at. I think it is my height advantage. Everyone gets a shot, or. . Hold on, lets watch. Cheering and applause. Thats way farther than mine i guess you might think that coming so far away, you wouldnt be able to make friends or it might be a strange tourist experience. But i always find it some of the best ones when you come to these remote places. Theres not many foreign tourists, so people arejust so accepting and grateful that you are here and will share everything with you. Hello. And so, there you have it we are done, meteorologically speaking, anyway, with summer. But at least it ended on a high note, and this particular corner of aberdeenshire a glorious end to the day there, captured by tyke, one of our weather watchers. It was that area of High Pressure that settled things very nicely across the British Isles on monday. But looking out into the atlantic, more disturbed weather is looming just over the horizon. Before that arrives, weve got a weakening weather front bringing cloud and rain into the western side of scotland for a time, into Northern Ireland in the morning. But i think here the cloud will clear, come the afternoon. There will be brighter skies, there will be a wee bit of brightness in the eastern scotland for a time. Across england and wales, itll be a dry day, with a bit of brightness. Could get some temperatures higher than monday wont be difficult to around 18 19 celsius. By wednesday, its those atlantic fronts that are going to bring a combination of cloud and wind and rain to many parts. But it will take a time before the rain moves out of Northern Ireland and away towards the North Eastern side of scotland all the while, the rain piling into the western side of england, through wales, as well, some of this quite heavy across the north midlands, wales, and the north of england. But you see, it doesnt really get down into that far south eastern quarter until quite later in the day, if at all. Not too much in the way of breeze here, but it really will be a windy day across the greater part of scotland, particularly in the northwest. Bit of brightness up in the north east of scotland, 16 you might make 20 further south, where it stays that bit drier. Those same weather fronts for the most part get through the northern parts. But in the south, that front becomes aligned with the isobars, so theres no great drive to get that front away from the southern counties of both england and wales. Brighter skies follow on behind, but the cloud and a bit of breeze and the odd spot of rain could linger across the south, but it wont stop the temperatures getting up to around 21 or 22. Further north, a slightly cooler feel, but not cold by any means at all. Thursdays still a windy old do, across the North Western corner of scotland. This comes back with renewed vigour into the south western quarter. It may well be that we see some really quite heavy rain. How far north that goes, difficult to tell at this range. But certainly, for the north of wales, northern england, scotland and Northern Ireland, its a mixture of sunny spells and some blustery showers, with the high of the day of 20. This is bbc news.
