Mark lobel, bbc news. Time for a look at the weather here with stav danaos. Hello there. Its been a very cold start to the weekend. Widespread frost and ice up and down the country and also some low cloud and freezing fog, particularly in the south which could linger all day. Best of the sunshine further north but for scotland we have had a weather front pushing in, bringing outbreaks of rain to northern and western areas, some snow on the hills too. That front will push into Northern England overnight, bringing in rain here, more rain pushing into western scotland. Again further snow on the hills. Another cold night to come but not as cold as it has been of late but still cold enough where any rain falls on the frozen surfaces, we could see an ice risk for sunday morning. Eastern scotland and north east england open for that. Further rain pushing into northern and western scotland on sunday, but further south and northern ireland, much of england we should see the clouds breaking up and there should be some sunshine in the afternoon. A little less cold, five to seven degrees out west. As we head through the new week, it looks a little less cold than it has been generally but there will be further rain at times and some snow on the hills, particularly in the north.

Donald trump has been permanently banned from twitter because of concerns his tweets could incite more violence. Now on bbc news, its time for the travel show. Hello and welcome to the travel show, with me, lucy hedges, coming to you from the jungle in northern rwanda, where i am hoping to catch a glimpse of one of the worlds most majestic creatures. Rwanda, despite its diverse wildlife and natural beauty, has for decades been an unlikely tourist destination. 25 years ago, the genocide here grabbed international headlines. Over 800,000 people were killed in inter Ethnic Violence injust 100 days. But a quarter of a century on, and rwanda has become one of africas bucket list destinations. And its biggest draw, the furry, curious cousin to us humans, the mountain gorilla. So i have been promised a chance of a date with a silverback gorilla. Ifeel like i should help them push. That is, if i ever make it up the mountain. Oh my god, be careful yeah, yeah, yeah i am standing here at the foothills of rwandas Volcanoes National park, which is the home and sanctuary of 20 troops of gorilla. It is very exciting, off we go. The park is part of the larger virunga Conservation Area and a World Heritage site. It is also the only place in the world where the gorilla population is on the rise. And this year marks a0 years since money from tourism was first used for their conservation. Francis, hey welcome to the park. So this is where the park begins, you can see the bamboo. There is a trench here, this marks the difference for making the communities understand where the park begins, and where the buffaloes cannot come over. Ahead of me there is a team of trackers. Hey, trackers, im lucy, good to meet you before any traveller takes to the mountain, the rangers share essential knowledge. Its so beautiful walking through here. Yes, sometimes gorillas come down to the bamboo. Really, they come this far down . They can even come outside. Once we come to the gorillas we need us to stay together, we are creating a distance between us and the gorillas, we need to have seven metres distance. We need to respect their movement. There is a sound, they have to do like a. Clearing throat sound. Once they do that, it is confirmation everything is ok. 0h, 0k. But once the silverback, or any gorilla say. Coughing sound. That means thats not good. Thats not good. So what i am doing, i have stopped. But then if i hear. Low grunting. So i make the situation feel 0k. Its pretty huge. These are gorilla droppings, it leads you to where the gorillas are. So you follow the paths of poo. As i walk, branches are gripping my legs, but the trackers have cleared a path for us, and i can hear gorillas, i have heard at least three grunts and gorilla noises. The walk is pretty tough, i am not going to lie. The higher we get, the higher the altitude, my breath is getting shorter. Three hours, and 4,000 metres above sea level, and i was beginning to fear i might not everfind a gorilla. Whispers oh my god its there this is the susa group. Its made up of 23 gorillas, including, unusually, three silverbacks. You really should be scared, but they are so big, ive got francis like my life depended on it. And then a moment i have been waiting for. Time to put my gorilla talk to the test. Throat clearing noise. I know you have the trackers, but how do you make sure you always find them . How do you know . The thing is, make sure you dont lose them any single day. You follow their movement every day. So that when you spend the night you study them the next day, so you follow them all year round. How long have you been doing this . For now, 18 years. 18 years . Wow, you must love them. Yes, this is the work that is dynamic, you always see new, different things. What you see of the gorillas today, is not similar to what you see tomorrow. Whispers we have really lucked out here. We have the mother cradling her baby, weve got blackbacks, and weve got the mother of all gorillas, the silverback right there. He is watching us watching him. I cant believe we are this close. My mind is absolutely blown, they are so beautiful. And when you think we share 98 of our dna with these great apes, you understand why they, too, are curious about us. Rwanda, in collaboration with International Conservation partners, has achieved remarkable success in not only protecting but growing the mountain gorilla population. In fact, there is now 1,000 mountain gorillas up here in the wild, up from 200 just two decades ago, when they were on the brink of distinction. This is primarily down to the decrease in poaching, when gorillas were hunted for meat. But in an effort to protect the gorillas, poachers were trained to become Mountain Guides and porters here, further supporting tourism. Talk to me about poaching here. Poaching, there is no problem. But there is no problem because we keep avoiding it from happening, by working with the communities and having better poaching pathways. You cant say it is done and we leave, so we keep on. But of course more gorillas means they need more space. The government has now pledged to expand the forest by 23 , adding almost 4,000 hectares to its current 16,000. The expansion of the park, it is about making the space biggerfor the gorillas, but its another way to bring the climate to where it needs to be. So, its good for rwanda, good for the planet. Yes, it will be for all of us. And whilst the numbers here are increasing, the conservationists here cannot become complacent. Between patrolling the park for any remaining poachers and monitoring the gorillas health, there is an army of people involved in protecting them. Noelly bosco is a gorilla doctor, and thejungle is his clinic. Today he has come to check on one of his patients. Hey, noelly im good. Welcome to the jungle. Thank you. Yeah. How do you know which one, exactly who is who . Each one of this group has a specific nose print. These guys have the gorilla card, you look at the nose print, and you think oh, it is this one. Then over time you get used to it. Talk to me about how important your work is to conservation. Well, very much important, gorilla doctors is credited for half the population growth. But everyone has contributed, including tourism. This increases 4 every year. In fact, tourists pay 1,500 to spend an hour up here with these great apes. Thats an expensive trek, but it is contributing to conservation. When you are preparing for maybe a medical action, you are so stressed, you dont know what is going to come out, you just come here stressed, have to be responsible for these guys, you have to be responsible for gorillas, you have too much new in a very short time. But then you come back the next morning, and you see the guy playing or picking some food, youre like, i made it. So thats why you like it. Now that the trackers have located the gorillas, the tours for travellers have began. So now i am tagging along with one of francis tourist groups. Squawking. Aggressive gorilla. High flyer gorilla. There he is chowing down on some leaves. You can just hear the little grunts in the distance, it is quite hard to tell if it is aggressive or playful grunts. How did you feel when the gorilla came out here and ran and jumped out at you . Scared just standing there, waiting to see what happens. Whispers hes up there in the tree somewhere. I think hes getting ready tojump down because hes heard how good this food was. Weve been planning this trip for 12 months, its been on our bucket list for quite some time. Its been amazing. A wonderfulfeeling. Its very rare, these beautiful majestic creatures have just completely taken my breath away and just being able to watch them eating, interacting, and even communicating with us in their natural habitat is one of the best experiences that ive ever had the pleasure of having on my travels. I highly recommend it. Still to come i have signed up to explore some alternative ways to experience this. the country of 1,000 hills. I take on these african champs. Oh, no im last and i head down to explore one of the deepest lakes in the world. Once a hotbed of violence during the conflict, but now i a go to destination for any traveller here. It looks like there is a party over there, a beach party my kind of place. So now that ive spent time with the awesome gorillas, im heading off the beaten track to see what else rwanda has to offer. The last two decades have seen a real turnaround in the countrys International Appeal and tourism is really on the rise. In fact, rwanda has set itself up as africas new big Luxury Travel destination. So its no surprise that tourism economy here is booming, its growing by 15 every year, making it one of the Fastest Growing tourism economies in the world. The government traditionally focused on attracting big spenders to stay in Luxury Lodges and spend a small fortune treking with gorillas. But it is opening up to cater for people with all kinds of budgets, and if you are an adrenaline junkie, you can have one hell of a ride here. If you dont mind, i can show you your bike. So, are you going to ride with us . I look forward to it. This is your bike, its an e bike. It has a battery, so if you need assistance, just press that. Press right here for assistance. Third and fourth. Ultimate power. Yeah so i think youre very excited. Im very excited. How could i not be excited . Look at this view he runs four new bike routes to the country, covering over 400 kilometres of track. What is the bonus of having these bikes to tourists . The e bikes, it doesnt matter how steep the hill is, anyone can go. Rwanda has so many beautiful views, wonderful places. Many hills. Supported by the world bank, the governments 2020 vision for the reconstruction of the country after the genocide has led to Huge Investment in rwandan infrastructure. Thats why these roads are a joy to ride. Whats it been like for you witnessing just how popular cyclings getting here . It makes my heart feel happy because im doing the cycling trips with the guests, people from all over. He tells me that over the last few years cycling has really taken off here. Perhaps inspired by these guys, the National Rwandan cycling team they are african champions. Hey, guys they have inspired the nation and International Cycling community with their Success Story and olympic performances. From struggling racers a few years ago, they are now one of africas most successful teams. I know im on an e bike but shall we race . Go laughter. Oh, my god oh, no im last yeah, i was never going to beat these champs. So where are we going now . Were going to visit some locals just to taste the real rwandan life. Oh, im going to get a true rwandan experience . Hello nice to meet you. Nice to meet you this is a cooperative made up of women whose husbands have abandoned them. To support themselves, they now sell traditional banana beer. And im going to help make some brew. Women are playing a pivotal role in rebuilding the country and economy, particularly since hundreds of thousands of men lost their lives during the genocide. Now rwanda has the highest number of women in parliament in the world 68 of lawmakers here are female. Do you enjoy sharing rwandan culture with tourists . We are just crushing them . Oh, my god, you have got to be strong. Singing. That was amazing thank you, thank you very much collect it like so, pour it back over, it leaves the bits behind. Once weve distilled the juice, its time to grind the millets to allow for fermentation. A lot less strenuous than crushing the bananas. How is this, am i doing a good job . Yes. Its all right. I was relieved to hear they have plenty of banana beer already made for me to try. Delicious. I was not expecting this at all. I mean, just the level of hospitality theyve welcomed me, i genuinely feel like one of them. Theyve been nothing but kind. And to think weve gone from a pile of bananas and grass to this is just incredible. What an experience. Singing. It was great to meet the locals benefiting from tourists who pass through and spend their time and money in these communities. Next on myjourney, lake kivu. This is one of the african great lakes, and sits on the border between rwanda and the democratic republic of the congo. I am here to explore the water by kayak. Are you all right handed . 0k . On this side you go forward. Seems easy enough. For years after the civil war, the shores of this lake were no go zones. This was one of the epicentres of the fighting in 1995. Now theres a huge push to develop this area. This is parts of the kivu belt tourism initiative. Beep, beep this is absolutely spectacular. Kayaking doesnt get any better than this. It certainly beats the last experience i had, a lake in the uk. Elwa is part of the new generation pursuing a career in travel and entrepreneurship. This is such a great example of tourism and innovation in rwanda. So its important then to show the world there is more to rwanda than just gorillas . Yes. What about the beautiful tea estates, what about the coffee . What about kayaking . You can stay over on an island overnight and its a beautiful experience. We have the Monkey Island that you can see something that is exciting, something that people love but they dont know. And how do the local people feel about it . Are they excited to welcome tourists into the area . As rwandans, its part of our culture. So they are excited to see it. We see the kids running around trying to grab you a kayak. Its been an incredibly wild and exciting day and i am certainly onboard for more this year. While the history of the genocide will never be forgotten, these travel experiences really shows a different side of rwanda. Everywhere you turn there is just something new on offer. This place really is amazing. The people here have been so eager to welcome me on my first ever trip to this country. Tourism is providing an excellent opportunity for rwandans to reshape their countrys image, and you can only hope the dark days are well and truly in the past. Hello there.
