The uk has met the vaccines target set 6 weeks ago, and the Prime Minister said that if supplies held up, vaccinations would be offered to everyone in the top nine Priority Groups by the end of april. Our Health Editor hugh pym has more details. Thank you very much, good morning. Visiting a Vaccination Centre today, the Prime Minister was keen to praise all those involved in getting more than 15 Million People in the uk inoculated with a first dose. If you look at whats happened in the last few weeks, its been an unbelievable effort by the nhs and the doctors and nurses, the gp surgeries, the hospitals. Of course, the armys been fantastic, the pharmacists have done a greatjob. Warehouse workers and Logistics Experts helped get the vaccines to hospitals, doctors� surgeries and other hubs. This companys drivers covered more than 200,000 miles in two months, delivering more than five million vaccines in england. People aged 70 and over, nhs and care staff and residents, and those who are clinically extremely vulnerable were in the first target groups. On friday, the Welsh Government was the first in the uk to report that everyone in the top four Priority Groups had been offered a first dose of the vaccine. Since then, ministers in england and scotland have also confirmed that target has been hit. In northern ireland, Officials Say everyone in those groups will have been offered it by the end of this month. From today, the next Priority Groups will be offered vaccinations, starting with the 65 69 age range, nearly three Million People. Then comes those under 65 with Underlying Health conditions, more than seven million. Next will be the 60 61i year olds, nearly two million. And then those in their 50s, more than five million, with a target of more than 17 million in the uk by the end of april. Some with asthma, like ellie, who has to use her inhaler four times a day, did not know whether they would be considered part of the Priority Group with health conditions. She says the communication� s been poor. For me personally, itsjust been the confusion over whether or not you qualify for the vaccine. Its been a pretty stressful couple of months. Officials have said those with severe asthma will be offered jabs at this stage. Others like ellie are deemed to be lower risk. Come on, good boy. Amanda, who has mild learning disabilities, said there was also confusion for her and others about getting the vaccine. I was told i couldnt have it to begin with. And then ijust kept ringing my gp, and i still got nowhere. And this morning, i rang and they said i could go to the local town hall and have it done. All this means the latest phase could be more complex than before, with the added pressure of people from the first wave of vaccinations needing their second dose. Hugh pym, bbc news. Now on bbc news, The Travel Show. Lucy hedges looks at dubais efforts to reschedule its mammoth 2020 world expo, which was postponed during the pandemic. Coming up on this weeks show dubais world expo plans. Ive been told that when its finished, its gonna look incredible. The porter poet of cuba. The town that typewriters made. And what we all need right now a little glimpse into our near future. Its golden time. Golden time for me i like the sound of that hello and welcome to The Travel Show, coming to you this week from tokyo. Now, its been a long winter of restrictions here and around the world, but now theres the prospect of vaccines and, with them, hope that life can slowly begin opening up again and returning to some kind of normal. At The Travel Show, we have been doing our best to carry on, bringing you inspiration from All Over The World a little bit of sunshine in an otherwise gloomy moment in history. Of course, tokyo was supposed to host the 2020 olympics and Paralympic Games last year. We are all keeping our fingers crossed that it will go ahead in 2021. At the moment, thats in serious doubt. If it doesnt happen, the likelihood is that it will be cancelled completely. And in that instance, the next big global event will be the postponed 2020 world expo in dubai. As it stands, its still on. Lucy has been finding out how the authorities there are planning to throw open the gates to ticketholders from All Over The World against the background of the current global pandemic. Ad see a futuristic festival filled with ideas, new and radical be there to see the alliance of art, music, fashion and science this, you cant afford to miss expo 2020 over 190 countries coming together here in dubai in a vast new purpose built Exhibition Space the size of a small city. In technology, sustainability and opportunity, and the whole thing was due to open in october last year. But thanks to the covid pandemic, nine months ago, the decision was made to postpone the opening of expo 2020 until october this year, a full year on from the original date. Well, a lot of the countries that are participating in the expo were impacted quite severely by covid i9, and so it really was the sort of collective decision, under the guidance of the bureau of International Exhibitions which is our Governing Body to postpone. But what is also given us is time this extra time that weve got is to work with the countries on issues and subjects and sort of the programme they want to bring to the expo that is relevant to a post covid world. The United Kingdom isjust one of over 190 nations exhibiting here, all hoping to showcase the very best of what their countries have to offer. Ok, so i have arrived at the uk pavilion. As you can probably tell, still a work in progress, its still under construction and if im being honest, its looking a tad unimpressive at the moment. But i have been told that when it is finished, its gonna look incredible. So lets go and meet the man in charge. So weve got a few more months to go, but we will be ready well in advance of expo and we will be looking really forward to welcoming everybody to the site. And what can people expect . What can people get excited about when it comes to the uk pavilion . So the uk pavilion is basically for us a hub to showcase the best that the uk has to offer. Its a really beautiful building but really what is equally as important is what goes inside it. So what were gonna have is focusing on uk innovation and technology. And this is a really, really special building it is based on stephen one of the last pieces of work that Stephen Hawking did, which is about his breakthrough message, and the idea is if we could communicate with another species in outer space what would we, as this planet, sent across . And the building is a very Interactive One and all the guests that come across pull out their smartphone and are able to donate a word. And we built this Artificial Intelligence system in the background, and the same word then goes into a much larger poem thats being written by that a system and that cone, the poem will be displayed there for everybody to see. We want to bring the world together to look at the global challenges that we all face whether it is dealing with pandemics, or whether its about Climate Change and sustainability. This provides a great opportunity for us to be able to do that. There is no doubt that a lot is riding on the expo not only in terms of International Prestige for dubai as it celebrates its 50th anniversary, but also financially. It was originally forecast up to 25 Million People would visit the expo, with the majority coming from abroad, leading to thousands of new Hotel Rooms Being built. But filling them will now be reliant on how many of us are able and happy to travel again towards the end of the year. Currently, the uae is on the uks banned list for travellers because of a recent increase in covid cases here. Tickets for this years expo havent gone on sale yet but with the future of the Tokyo 0lympics still hanging in the balance, nadia says that not only could expo be the first Big Scale Global event to go ahead in 2021, but also that its message will now be even more relevant. Under the sort of banner of connecting minds, creating the future, weve realised that our three themes of sustainability, mobility, and opportunity are even more relevant today than they were even pre covid. And so, you know, the experiences that the visitors will go through when they come, particularly in our thematic pavilions, really resonate with the moment a moment in time in a post covid world. Lucy in dubai. And a glimpse of things to come, once we can start moving again. Next, to a totally different part of the world. Horn beeps. Luis has written thousands of poems about different cities around the world, which he describes as if he has only just seen them. And to this day, he has never left cuba. Luis dropped out of school in 1958 and studied maps. But due to the us embargo against cuba, they quickly became out of date. But he managed to stay in touch with world events by chatting to tourists while working as a porter at the trinidad bus station. Still to come on The Travel Show the long legacy of italys top typewriter tycoon. And i meet the robot that can see the future, apparently. I find that a bit ominous, but i guess the takeaway is dont be greedy next this week, we are in italy, and here is a name that might ring some bells with literary types. It is 120 years since adriano 0livettis Typewriter Company transformed the little town of ivrea, near turin, into a pulsing industrial hub. That was a long time ago, of course, but the towns Tourism Chiefs are now looking to that golden age as a source of new inspiration. Before the pandemic, we took our cameras to check it out. File this little town has i become a kind of industrial paradise, a place where the employers and the employed are believed to enjoy the best of all possible worlds. In these foothills of piedmont, a worker who has entered camillo� s kingdom has all but entered the kingdom of heaven. This is camillo 0livettis Empire Today An empire which has distributed over most of the world and employs over 50,000 people. The 20 men here at ivrea have become 14,000. They are the largest Typewriter Manufacturers in the world and yet, typewriters are only one quarter of their business. Since the beginning, camillo and his son adriano, who followed him as head of the company, have given great thought to the human side of their operation. Even from the first days, 0livetti and his Blacksmith Partner used to set an hour aside each day for the worker who had family or money or health problems. They always had time for the employee who wanted a job for his wife or son, or needed a loan to buy a home orfurniture. After one year of restrictions and lockdowns, we are all anxious to know what is going to happen in our lives and our travels in the near future. Well, south korea may provide some answers. Last year, i went to its capital city, seoul, to find out about a very ancient and booming tradition of Fortune Telling. A stroll on one of seouls main streets gives a clue about the importance of Fortune Telling in south korea. Dozens of cafes offer a Look Into The Future through tarot cards, palm and face reading, and saju, an ancient form of divination which uses the Cosmic Energy of your time and date of birth to predict your luck. You were born in summertime, 0k. Please be patient. But after next year could be much better, from 2022 to here, 2029. Its a golden time. Golden time for me i like the sound of that. Yes, its very nice. So do you get lots of young people coming in . Yes, mostly we have young customers. Young people come for about relationships, they want to know boyfriends, what he thinks, what they think, and about their career. Because saju is not some energy, it decides your destiny. Wow. Thank you so much. Speaks korean. Saju has become a form of entertainment for koreans but the pressure of modern lives and competition for education and jobs also compel many koreans to seek reassurance in traditional clairvoyance. Most of them take it with a pinch of salt. Was it a good reading . And was it a good match . Are you still with your boyfriend . There are an estimated 300,000 fortune tellers in south korea and its a booming business, worth almost us 4 billion no wonder many people are keen to learn its secrets metal, water, wood, fire and earth are the five elements that students need to learn about. Looking at the board, it is not that straightforward. How long do you have to study to become a saju professional . As is often the case in south korea, tradition has blended with technology. The high Tech Industry was quick to grasp the appeal of Fortune Telling and dozens of apps now offer instant predictions. This app here has been downloaded 10 million times and there is even an english version. Ok, so lets see what my fortune is today. Oh, dear. It does not look good you need to learn how to fight temptations. Temptations are all around you. Well, that doesnt sound good local artists also take inspiration from the traditional culture of Fortune Telling. This buddha robot uses Artificial Intelligence to dispense personalised prophecy. It is slightly disconcerting, being this close to the robot and when i move my head, she also moves her head. Hello the Artificial Intelligence recognises peoples faces and they analyse age, gender and their feeling. And based on the daily information, it makes a sentence that it says to the person in front. Speaks korean. So she just said where there is greed, there is fear, so if you are not greedy, you have Nothing To Fear i find that a bit ominous but i guess the takeaway is dont be greedy so for now, fortune tellers in south korea have a Bright Future to look forward to if only their Crystal Balls could predict when we will all be able to travel the world again. Great memories from my trip to south korea there, before any of us had ever heard of coronavirus. Well, thats it for this week but coming up next time lucy is back with some of our favourite trips around south asia, including the time henry got stuck up a tree in kerala. I think im going to rip my pants this is tough and a White Knuckle ride to remember down pakistans hunza river. This feels quite serious now. I have not seen ed for almost 2. 5 hours. And dont forget you can catch more of our recent shows on the bbc iplayer, and we are on social media too in all of the usual places. But for now, lets cross our fingers and hope some better news in the coming months. See you soon. Bye bye. Hello. Well, its frost free out there again, second night in a row. Its certainly turned very mild across the uk. Monday was a mild day and tuesday is going to be every bit as mild. But the mild south westerly winds have also brought some rain. This is where our weather is coming from, all the way, in fact, from the south almost. Last week, it was all coming out of eastern europe, those cold easterly winds, but a complete reversal in the weather patterns. In fact, over the next few days, not only is the weather going to be coming in from the south west, these passes of mild air, towards the weekend, it looks like a dip in Thejet Stream will make the air come right from the south. So that means that those temperatures will shoot up to quite possibly 17 celsius. But at the moment, we have the mild south westerly winds, and they are strong. Off the coast of scotland, gusting to 65 mph. On top of that, weve got plenty of Rain Splashing its way through the country during the early hours. These are the morning temperatures between 5 10 so, on tuesday, the low pressure is sweeping just to the north west of scotland. Gale force winds there in the hebrides, gusting again to 65 mph and frequent heavy showers. Now, this is a Weather Front here. Its just clearing east anglia and the south east in the afternoon. It may take time before it clears away completely, and then behind it, its a mixture of sunny spells and showers, and the temperature is between 10 12 celsius. So even for february, quite a mild day. And as i say, that rain will take time to clear away from the south east. Heres a look at wednesdays weather forecast. One low pressure moves away in fact, its over iceland and another one replaces it. In fact, we are going to see a series of low pressure coming our way, bringing spells of rain, weatherfronts, this is the beginning of that really unsettled spell of weather, which will then turn very mild weather as we head into the weekend. But look at wednesday, lots of showers, outbreaks of rain heading toward some southern parts of the country. Temperatures, again, fairly similar around 10 12 celsius. Now, the rise in the temperature will be very significant as we head towards saturday and sunday. Thats the day where in some southern and eastern areas, it could hit 17 celsius.
