Tensions between britain and france over brexit threaten to overshadow the G7 Summit in cornwall after Emmanuel Macron is accused of suggested that Northern Ireland is not part of the uk. I think it is offensive. Again, we wouldnt dream of talking of the Northern Region of italy, the german lander, or other provinces, particularly ones where there are these nationalist pressures, we would not dream of talking about those areas in those terms. Today the leaders focus on climate change. Sir David Attenborough tells the g7, the choices they make will be some of the most important in human history. Borisjohnson urges cautions ahead of a decision on whether Lockdown Restrictions will be lifted in england with the possibility of a four week delay. Now on bbc news, the Travel Show, where Lucy Hedges takes a look back at some of our favourite Travel Show shimmies on the dance floor. This week on the Travel Show. Now, if you spent any part of Lockdown Dancing alone in the kitchen, this show is for you. For many of us, dancing offers a shortcut to happiness and escape. Over the years on the Travel Show, weve picked up some pretty nifty Dance Moves All Over The World and have failed miserably at others. So here, For Your Entertainment and our eternal embarrassment, are our attempts to remain co ordinated under pressure and in front of a camera. Lets kick off with my trip to South Africa back in 2018, when i tried to keep up with a truly talented group of performers who have made news All Over The World thanks to an energetic form of dancing known as pantsula. They set the bar A Little High for me, though. This is pa ntsula. This style of dancing is absolutely incredible. Its fast paced, its energetic, and its technical. But for young South Africans, its so much more than this. Its a movement that encapsulates storytelling, fashion and social expression. And just look at those Dance Moves. My mind is just blown for via vyndal, everything in their act holds a special significance from their moves to their costumes. And their clothes are the colours of the national flag. Pantsula, its a local culture. You would never get it anywhere in the suburbs. Whatever we do, were telling our stories, background stories, through dance. From growing up in this poor neighbourhood, the group has gone on to international acclaim. In 2017, director Danny Boyle handpicked them to perform at one of new yorks most prestigious venues carnegie hall. We really killed the stage. It was a big experience, especially because, to be honest, it was our first time on the plane. And being in new york, it was something different. You could tell that we were far away from home. The background of the dance is closely tied to the history of the nation. Were on our way to the biggest township in South Africa soweto. Here, the pantsula has a deeply political message. Soweto has a reputation for activism. It was home to Nelson Mandela during apartheid in the years prior to his arrest. Pantsula has its roots in the same era. It matched contemporary forms with traditional african dance an Act Of Cultural Defiance against the oppressive white government. Talk to me about the kind of social and political messages that you express when you dance. The first political message is to be seen as black people. We are powerful, you know. And the second is were trying to tell the world that were still free, but were still bearing a lot of problems. We still have to push ourselves. And we have to push ourselves, like, 10 times harder than any other individual. And now, the moment of truth. Do i have what it takes to become an honorary member of the troupe . 0k, stand here. 0k. Its going to be, one, two, one, two. One, two, one, two. Oh, no. Yeah. So its going to be, one, two, one, two. One, two, one, one, two, one, one, two, one. Easy 0k. Slow. One, two, one, two. One, two, one, one, two, one, one, two, one. Im not getting the last bit. Come on, focus up here. Focus on my feet. Im not quite there. One, two, one, two, one, two, one, two, one. Yes its funny, but i get tired watching that again. What amazing performers. In the same year, half a world away in norway, Christa Larwood discovered a similar level of Skill And Dedication with a traditional form of dance is still going strong. Watch out for the High Kicks in this one. Dance Company Frikar perform around norway and beyond. They are inspired by Traditional Norwegian roots. They have agreed to show me traditional moves in norways halling dance. The dance is mostly a show off dance. Many 100 years ago, women also did the dance, but its mostly boys or men doing the dance, because we want to impress the other men or other women. Put the right foot in front of the left, sidewards. Believe me, this is harder than it looks. If you jump a bit on each step, one, two, yes, nice . I think im getting the hang of it. One, two. Nice back in the old days, they use the ceilings to kick down a Coin Orjust kick their heels. Kick the ceiling . You know, they were smaller houses back in those days. In the 1800s, the military started with competitions, kicking a hat from a stick, and it was about kicking the highest. And then it became incorporated in the halling, the folk dance. I think if i say halling, people say kicking the hat. It is the main goal in the halling. But the dance is the main goal, kicking the hat is sort of topping it. That was good kicking you have got to admit those High Kicks were pretty impressive. Christa in norway back in 2018. Here is something else to not try at home, especially if you value yourjoints. Peruvian scissor dancing dates back over 500 years, and some people claim it is the inspiration behind modern breakdancing. With a heritage like that, we just had to send carmen to investigate in 2017. The origin of the peruvian Scissor Dance is shrouded in mystery, but many believe the tradition began in the highlands of the andes as an act of worship to the mountain gods. In the 1500s, the dance was performed to show resistance to spanish rule. The movements display the performers dexterity. And the scissors represented their resistance to pain. But the conquistadors thought it was inspired by the devil and it was banned. Despite the ban, the traditions survived, and the twisting, turning Dance Moves were passed down from generation to generation. Now, its importance in Perus History has been recognised by unesco. And its backbreaking moves would put many break dancers to shame. Although the scissors are not sharp, learning to control them while dancing and leaping can take years. Hola and im going to get a lesson to see how its done. So the top ones stay still and the bottom one. 0h. Its all in the thumb, the thumb and the wrist. First, ive got to get to grips with the scissors. The aim is to hit the handles together in time to the music. The blunt blades are not connected, so holding them in position is really tricky. There is no way im going to be able to do this and coordinate my feet. And its notjust mastering the scissors. This is the one that makes your knees bleed. Does it hurt to do the jumps and land on your back . Does it hurt your head, your knees . Do you have injuries . Is that blood on your trousers . Wow, thats dedication. Oh, and im getting a hat. Gosh, as if its not hard enough after a few minutes, im exhausted. I cant even imagine how hard it would be to do these moves up in the andes, where the thin air makes everything so much harder. These guys are true athletes. Its hard work. Some of those moves look truly backbreaking. Carmen and the Scissor Dancers of peru back in 2017. Plenty more for you, so stay with us. Henry learns its all in the eyes in india, and christa leaves the Folk Music of norway behind to dance the waltz in vienna. In the same Way Dance can lift your spirits it can also tell a story. And perhaps nowhere as intricately as india, which is where henry headed to meet the kathakali dancers of kerala, who not only use their bodies but their faces to tell a story. To learn more about kathakali, i have come here to meet a man whose family have been performing the dance for the past hundred years here in cochin. Mr devan how are you, good to see you this is your theatre Central To Kathakali is the complex ritual makeup, which turns the performers into supernatural beings, gods and demons. The process of applying the makeup can take many hours, and here in cochin its applied in front of the audience, and forms part of the performance. Theres a singer who sings the stories. The river flowing and the drummer, who supports. The dancer translates the songs through the movement of eyebrows, eyes, hand muscles, lips, fingers, footwork. And all these stories come from the hindu books, religious books. Originally developed as a way of teaching religious scripture to rural audiences, kathakali is now also a big draw for tourists coming here to kerala. I am very curious to know, how do you tell a story with your eyebrows, your cheeks, your lips and your fingers . Can you teach me . To start with there, are 2a Alphabets in the language, katha kali language. These alphabets are the position of the hand. So how, show me a little segment of how you would use the alphabets to tell the story. Please, come. And so with the Eye Movements, what different types of Eye Movements do you have . Rolling the eyes is getting excited. Team those moves with some fancy footwork, and you have a Performance In Theory at least. That is very good, very impressive. Traditionally, a classic Kathakali Performance can go on for many hours, sometimes a whole night. But some modern audiences have shorter attention spans, so the artform has had to adapt. You know, the original one, it goes throughout a night, you know, everything is in detail, everything is intricate. And nowadays we are condensing it for a 1. 5, two hour program. So in a way we do lose our originality. What is done for hours and throughout a night, that is not being shown now. It represents the Fire God but whether the performance is a Marathon Length all Nighter Or Something more contained, the highlight of the show is always the appearance on stage of pacha, wearing his traditional green makeup and using steps choreographed hundreds of years ago to captivate audiences of today. Well, were almost at The End of this weeks programme, but we have just got time for one more dance off. So lets take a trip all the way back to 2015, long before social distancing had ever been heard of, and when the bigger the party, the better it was. Lets hope we can all return to those times before too long. In the meantime, heres christa trying to master a classic waltz in the Run Up to a spectacular ball in vienna. Its just after dawn, but the Town Hall is already buzzing. Preparations are under way for a grand dance event, part of the Ball Season that takes over vienna each winter. Every year, over a50 Grand Balls take place, and thousands of people descend on the city to get all dressed up and dance the night away. These preparations are for the blumenball, or flower ball, an event for 3000 guests. A team of 250 people have spent a week getting everything ready, and today they are busy decorating the hall with 80,000 flowers. Translation 200 years ago, common people were allowedl to dance for the first time. Before that, it was a privilege of the nobility alone. The viennese people were enthralled, and that popularity continues to this day. Over 300,000 people attend the citys balls each season. But no two events are the same. They can be anything from Grand Affairs in the citys Imperial Palace with formal dress and classical music, to modern dance parties where anything goes. This season of events also represents Big Business for the city, boosting the viennese economy by around 200 Million euros each year. This is perhaps not surprising when the most sought after events can cost you up to 250 Euros just to get the door. Well, if you are going to attend one of these Grand Balls, you cantjust turn up injeans. You have to look the part. Blue Danube Waltz plays well, ive got a Fancy Frock and a lovely hairdo. The only thing left is to polish up my Dance Skills before the ball. Matthias urrisk is in charge of directing the formal Opening Dance at the ball tonight, which will include a grand wa ltz. And for you the first step is making the backward step. The Viennese Waltz is a very famous popular dance. You make two steps in place, two, three, it is our traditional dance, our unofficial national song, the Blue Danube is a waltz, so we are proud of it. 1,2,3, 2,2,3. Laughs Blue Danube Waltz plays outside, dusk is falling over the city, and soon after, the guests of the Blumenball Begin to arrive. The ball opens with a formal performance, then suddenly the floor is crowded with dancing couples old and young, who seem to seriously know their stuff. Its so nice it makes you want to take up dance lessons. The other ball guests seem equally taken with the romance of the event. I love to go to balls, i like it to dress like a princess, and to dance like a princess. It is a journey into another world, for me. Eventually, its time to stop being a wallflower and put my Dance Training into action. My terrible dancing no, no i onlyjust learned how to do it today Blue Danube Waltz plays Christa Doing A pretty convincing waltz there, it has to be said. Sadly most of those sumptuous balls have been cancelled again this year, but hopefully theyll be back bigger and better in 2022. Now i do hope you have enjoyed this look back with me and we have managed to give you some travel inspiration, and maybe even a few moves for when we can all hit the road again. Lets hope its not too long to wait until then. In the meantime, make sure you catch us next week if you can, when ade is back in the Travel Show van for the second leg of our road to Recovery Tour across the uk. Hey im on this time, he is crossing englands biggest county from Seaside To Countryside to see how the people and places of North Yorkshire are recovering from lockdown. Believe me, that promises to be a good one, so i do hope youlljoin us. Until then, from me, Lucy Hedges, and everyone else here on the show, thanks for watching and goodbye. Hello. Blue Skies Today will bring some pretty hot weather, but elsewhere, even if the cloud is with you, it will still be a warm and humid day. Cloud across northern england and wales will break up to allow sunny spells. The cloud remains thickest across the highlands and islands, and here into Orkney And Shetland later today outbreaks of rain could become more extensive. Keeping pollen levels at bay. But we could see very high levels across much of england, not helped by the sun, humid conditions and heat. 29 celsius possible in some spots. 26 degrees in the east of scotland. 1a in stornoway. 29 degrees in wembley for englands opening match against croatia. Very humid conditions, so remember your water. A humid and muggy night tonight. Things turning fresher across scotland and Northern Ireland as a Weather Front pushes southwards, but south of it 15 or 16 will be the low into Tomorrow Morning with a few spots still warmer than that. To the South And East of this weather line, the humid air is gradually getting squeezed out through monday. Something a bit fresher across the north, but breezy with sunshine and showers in scotland and later into Northern Ireland. This is a Weather Front which starts with some patchy rain and drizzle, pushing south and by The End of monday it is to the South And East where the humid air will last the longest. Maybe even 30 degrees in the south East Corner. Mid or high teens across the northern half of the country. Not as stark on tuesday. High pressure moves out of the way ahead of another wave of tropical air heading from the west later. That comes with Cloud And Rain into the west of Northern Ireland, the West Of Scotland later in the day. A dry and bright day for most with the best of the sunshine across england and wales. Not as hot or humid as sunday or monday, but still pretty warm. What will follow will be a very humid night on tuesday. Rain in parts of scotland and Northern Ireland. Even more humid air drawing up from the south, and by The End of the day temperatures could reach 29, 30 in the south East Corner, and we could see some storms. This is bbc news, im shaun ley. The headlines at two. Tensions between britain and france over brexit threaten to overshadow the G7 Summit in cornwall after Emmanuel Macron is accused of suggesting that Northern Ireland is not part of the uk. It is offensive. Again, we wouldnt dream of talking about the Northern Region of italy, the german lander or other provinces. Particularly ones where there are these nationalist pressures. We wouldnt dream of talking about those areas in those terms. Today, the leaders focus on climate Change Borisjohnson will give a News Conference shortly, stay with us for that.
