flights and connections to other islands in the canaries. the labour party leader keir starmer has had to ease back on some of his plans to change the voting rules for future leadership elections remain proposals are still likely to spark a confrontation with the left wing of his party. this report contains flashing images. it wasn't an ideal start to the party conference, keir starmer wanted to attack the conservatives. this government is letting people down so badly. but under attack from some in his own party, he was to ditch plans to reduce the role of rank and file in future leadership elections and further rows could overshadow more positive policies aimed at the wider public. the focus was supposed to be on workers' rights and not his members rights. the deputy leader angela rayner gave an crowd—pleasing speech about workers' rights. some things are not negotiable so labour in power will give all workers' rights from day one in theirjobs, sick pay, holiday pay, parental leave and protection against unfair dismissal. but most of the action took place not in the conference floor but behind closed doors. keir starmer has come out of a meeting where he has had to discuss his party reforms, he has had to drop some of his ideas but a significant number will still go ahead to the conference and that is sure to annoy the left wing. under plans in a future leadership contest candidates will need 20% of the members rather than 10%. this may sound procedure but it is highly political. it will have been placed in the last leadership election they will have only been one candidate. and in the previous contest, jeremy corbyn wouldn't have gotten on the ballot. that is why he told them not to support the reforms because it sends the wrong message to voters. if someone is about to lose yourjob because the fellows can have come to an income if you aren't a zero—hours contract car you really interested in a party more interested in a party more interested in a party more interested in talking about how it may or may not elect the leaders in the future? right now they — leaders in the future? right now they current _ leaders in the future? right now they current leader - leaders in the future? right i now they current leader knows he has to make a bigger impression with the public if he can save the left he could come across as decisive but in the process you will also be highlighting the divisions in his party. now on bbc news, the travel show. this week on the show. auf wiedersehen, tegel airport. getting in the zone for the paris marathon. and around wales by pimped—up pedalo. it's been really hard, painful. but a grand adventure. 60 years ago this summer, berlin's infamous wall went up, effectively slicing the city in two, and leaving capitalist west berlin isolated deep within communist east germany. almost overnight, tegel airport became an important lifeline for west berliners. in 1974, its brutalist inspired hexagonal shaped terminal opened, making the shortest walk from aircraft to exit just 30 metres long, which led to the airport becoming one of the busiest in germany. i have been to many airports in my lifetime, but i've never had the unique opportunity to stand in the middle of a runway, one thatjust two years ago saw 2a million passengers leave and arrive. it's empty now, and a bit bizarre... but then again, this is no ordinary airport. after a decade of stays of execution, in november 2020, the planes and the passengers stopped, and it was time to say a final goodbye to this cold war relic. it's less than one year since tegel airport closed to the public. now, it's full of deserted departure boards, closed carousels. it makes you feel like you're walking through a apocalyptic world. through a post—apocalyptic world. i want to rid myself of this eerie feeling, i want to know what this place was like when it was brimming full of people at the start of exciting journeys. hello, roy. this strikes me as being an area that very few passengers would have gone. this would have been our baggage area for gate number eightand nine, and all the luggage came down here. in one year we had about 2 million pieces of luggage coming down here, going from here into containers and out through there. roy worked at the airport for 30 years as a flight dispatcher, and walking around tegel with him, you soon get a sense of his love for the place. people went up here, and just through here, and they were already out. did you use it? about 10,000 times. it must be strange to see it when you once knew it as a throng of passengers. it's kinda funny when you just walk through here, there's nobody at all. berlin's new state of the airport lies on the outskirts of the city in brandenburg. roy believes he knows the main reason why tegel will be sorely missed. the thing was all the business passengers knew it takes them, to get in a taxi to be in an aeroplane, with check—in and everything, it took them 10 minutes. tegel will not be left to decay. its famous terminal and tower will be incorporated into revision of the future with new housing district and the research park springing up around them. but that is not before berliners get to say one last goodbye to this much loved landmark. this summer the airport became part of the son ambiente festival, which fills abandoned spaces full of art. the surreal sounds you are hearing being played across the public address system at tegel is the work of the prize—winning sound artist susan phillips. ambient air is a work, we have taken brian's conversation music for airports and honed it from the window, taken time to look down at the landscape and just get lost in the clouds, and i wanted to create a sense of solitude and time passing. some people would say that the architect is really ugly. they use the term brutalist, doesn't necessarily mean ugly, but it is forbidding in some way. it does create a melancholy field when it is empty. that is the real theme, solitude and melancholy. i think most people, when they came for the opening day, really did want to enter in and just enjoy that, to feel like a final farewell to the place. before i leave the festival there is one last trip i want to take from tegel. even though this airport is not really functional, not operational, no planes anywhere, i still get that special signal, that air of anticipation of being somewhere, where i could be transported somewhere else, and apparently this next trip, if you like, a virtual one, takes me to a new dimension. now, you are on your way to the moon. wow, this isjust incredible. now i am in the middle of space, i am floating in the middle of space, no land around me whatsoever, just huge amounts of stars. to the moon allows visitors to go to our lunar neighbour without the use of any air or spacecraft. you get to experience what it would be like to drift over vast craters and through the emptiness of space, with a few ghosts of dinosaurs thrown in for good measure. i am kind of moving, kind of going through it! amazing, iam inside the body of a brontosaurus, or something, on the moon. wow. wow, now i am floating, this is weird. the shooting stars above me, i willjust revel around, i can see behind me, it's like vertigo because you think you will fall down into these creatures. now i am moving away from the dinosaurs, floating into space. welcome back. germany is in a reflective mood on the 60th anniversary of the building of the berlin wall. so, the subdued melancholy of this long goodbye to tegel seems fitting. i can see why there is so much affection, almost sentimentality for it. but what's also brilliant as they have new art in here that kind of throw things forward, the kind of the end of an era, because this place will never be forgotten. ladies and gentlemen, this really is the last call to tegel. right, still to come on the travel show. it's a marathon, not a sprint, getting your head together after months of lockdown. and a little pedal boat that can. we are with the husband—and—wife team taking the welsh coastline by storm. what we're trying to do here is get around this headland, but it looks like tide has already turned. so don't go away. now, many young people just starting out in life, the last 18 months been excruciating. gap years, uni and school trips, and holidays with mates have all been cancelled. some found it especially hard, like graduate freddie pearson, who had his own battles with mental health in the past. but his travel and exercise would provide the solution to his post lockdown blues. hi, my name is freddie pearson, i'm 21 years old and i have just graduated from the university of manchester. i was doing my final year of university during the height of the pandemic. i think the hardest thing about being in your final year of university, while all this was unfolding, i think there was a frustration because your early 20s is the time of your life when you can travel, go clubbing, new parts of the world, meet new people, and these are the perfect years to have stories to tell moving forward, so you can really develop your character, and i think a lot of young people felt incredibly deprived of that. the uncertainty, the uncertainty of not really knowing what was going on andnot being able to plan anything. for a lot of young people when they finished university, travelling is such a big thing to look forward to, so i had a bit of a nightmare injune. i decided to go to lisbon, and i was out there and i remember i was sitting at this beautiful cafe on a thursday morning and my phone was blowing up with messages and notifications about how lisbon was going to go into the amber checklist which would mean i would have to quarantine, so i cancelled my hotel and originalflight, bought myself a new flight and about two minutes after i bought, a notification came through on my phone saying that it wasn't going to happen until tuesday so i needlessly cancelled my flight and everything, lost out on quite a bit of money but also lost two days in such a brilliant and vibrant city, so i wasn't very happy. i think the lockdown in winter last year was by far the hardest, october to january, definitely there were days when getting out of bed was an incredibly difficult thing to do. the final year at university was so restrictive because every day seem to blur into one. i'm at a time of my life when i don't really know what i'm doing. no direction, surrounded by people who are helping me and guiding me, butjust feeling a little bit lost. setting myself goals such as running and exercise was pivotal. i signed up to the marathon because it was something to look forward to, we all needed someone to look forward to after the last year. i signed up to the marathon because it was something to look forward to, we all needed someone to look forward to after the last year. i'm really excited. doing the london half marathon, i've never been to paris before in my life, so it's a whole new city to explore. hard work! some of the landmarks to go past are incredible, obviously the eiffel tower, the opera house, past the louvre. there are so many things i'm looking forward to, one of the things as architecture, i've heard that it's so beautiful and tell such a tail and i'm a bit of a hopeless romantic as well, so i thought going to the city of love in europe is my best bet. if paris got cancelled i would be really gutted, but i think i've always been an optimist of mindset and i think would be great to run a marathon around here and ijust have to replan and get my hopes up the world we're living in at the moment, it's frustrating, but i'm determined to get through it. fingers crossed we will show you how freddie gets on in paris in around one month's time. last week, wejoined husband and wife team jason and tammie on their punishing zero—carbon adventure around wales. so far, we have seen them across the country from north to south on foot, bike and kayak and make their way around half the welsh coastline in a special custom—made pedal boat. let's join them now for the second half of their incredible journey. so we're in aberystwyth. so far we've cycled to milford haven and we've just done about 130 miles pedalling up to where we are in aberystwyth. basically all uphill! every single segment, all uphill. it's great! i love that gear! gosh, we've seen some amazing projects. everyday people that are making — that are just doing their bit to live more sustainably and to combat climate change. so we're now going to pedal our moksha across to bardsey island, which is about 36 miles. shove off? yep. it's a nice evening for it — we'll probably pedal through the night. should be a nice, relaxed, calm pedal. chuckles. it should be! 0h! i'm pretty far out of my comfort zone right now! i didn't realise we were pedalling overnight. that was left out of the cliff notes. i did not want to tell you until now. it's making that sound again. i kind of know now what a hamster on a wheel feels like, going and going and going — and with the sound. i'm pretty tired but i did get a little bit of a nap. god. something hit me, likejet lag. toasty in there. i don't care. i'm so tired. i'll sleep anywhere right now, just for ten, 15 minutes, tam. we're getting too old for for the all—nighters. i don't think they were ever easy. god! sleeping in a skip! it just feels like you're biking through mud. uphill. the llyn peninsula — that i am really looking forward to — just a gorgeous stretch of coastline, the weather will be beautiful and there's lots of little inlets and coves on the way up. it's really beautiful and that's always the reward. it's just a total pay—off. the question then is once we're in holyhead and we've done all the bits and pieces there — like, the stories that we need to film there, whether or not we go clockwise. 0h, tam. 0h, shoot. i'm all right. god, i would kill for a coke zero or a pepsi max right now. perfectly good tortilla, that. hand it over. in a sick bag. i'm really looking forward to meeting gem. she's a woman i have been communicating with now for one year. thank you for agreeing to see us. what exactly is it that you do? we are basically- a research organisation. we know not very much - about seals on the north wales coast so the idea is to update our research, i track them, figure out - what they like and what habitat they prefer, where . they have their pups. what is it important for us to know about these animals? i think they're a really, really important part . of the ecosystem but also, l they have an incredibly high intrinsic value on the north wales coast — i welsh people love seals, l they want to protect them, they want to save them. i can see two. just off here. oh, yeah! 0h, three, actually — one, two, three. - oh, i see — one, two, three! so because it is high tide, l they will be doing a mixture probably of something called bottling, which is they float i vertical and they are - essentially sleeping but also foraging as well on the bottom. they pup in autumn — - that coincides with strong autumn storms - with climate change. so are humans the main detriment to the survival and the well—being of these seals? we're having more frequent. storms, we're having increased severity of storms as well. they can easily be swept off beaches in a storm surge, l away from mum. you see them trying to get back and it's really, - really heartbreaking to see. we need to ignite that passion for nature in our local- communities to encourage them to save nature - and to have a passion for marine wildlife. . it looks like the tide has already turned so i think we have a bit of a fight on our hands to get around the corner here. i should have just left an hour earlier and then we wouldn't have had this crunch. 0w! yep. cross waves ? those last three miles are going to kick us in the arse, and they did. yeah. they totally kicked us in the arse and it could've — we could have lost everything. we could have lost the whole — could've lost the boat, we could've lost our lives. tammie yawns. look at you and what you've almost done. only 15.5 more miles... woo! ..to complete this journey. wow! thank you for an amazing opportunity. and thank you for keeping me alive in desperate, desperate circumstances. thank you. it's been a really grand adventure. a really hard, painful... all right! let me at it! are we going to finish this trip, tammie? let me at it! i'm so close! come on. yeah, it's been an amazing — an amazing trip and i'm really glad. i think the tide is coming up for another ten minutes. yes, maybe a little bit slacker. there we go. thank you. come on, tammie. i'm gonna do my rocky run! come on. i feel kind of silly because it's probably not a big deal, but it is huge. it is huge — circumnavigating wales by human power. well done. well done! well done. 0h. amazing scenes. congratulations to jason and tammie. i've got a feeling that's not the last time we will hear about those two. right, that's it for this week. coming up next time — i'm in ireland, exploring from dublin to the south of the country in our all—electric travel show van, finding out how it's preparing to welcome back tourists after lockdown. that was a real smacker. perfect! if you fancy following us on social media, we're in all of the usual places. we've got loads of inspiration for the next time you're on the road. in the meantime, though, keep planning your next trip and we'll see you very soon. goodbye. hello, there. part two of the weekend looks sunnier generally than what we had on saturday because more of a breeze around to break up the cloud, so a dry and a largely warm day for most places but there will be rain arriving in the west later on. now this cold front will herald a change — behind it, much cooler air, ahead of it we've got that warm and muggy air mass. through sunday night and monday, that cold front spreads across the country bringing a band of rain, squally winds, and opens the floodgates for something much cooler, much more autumnal for the upcoming week. now this weekend, we're looking at balmy temperatures into the low 20s for many of us. to next week, we're generally around the mid to high teens. a bit closer to where they should be for the time of year but at times even a little below average. so, for sunday, we start off on a dry note with variable cloud, some good spells of sunshine around. chance of one or two showers across the midlands and the southeast — otherwise, most places dry and then we start to see this cold front pushing into northern ireland and then western scotland, bringing some heavy rain and strong winds, so temperatures here — mid to high teens, eastern scotland, much of england and wales — another very warm day for the time of year. now, through sunday night, that band of cloud and rain slowly edges its way eastwards — some heavy rain on it, some squally winds, too. but for much of eastern england it should stay dry throughout the night, and feeling very mild again. but behind this rain band, it will be turning cooler with some blustery showers. so for monday morning, it could be pretty atrocious for the morning commute with this band of pretty heavy rain spreading eastwards — strong and squally winds — eventually, the rain band will clear the east coast into the north sea, so monday afternoon doesn't look too bad — bright with some sunshine — many showers, though, across western areas, some of which will be quite heavy and blustery, and it will be cooler — temperatures 13 to 18 degrees, a little bit closer to the seasonal average. into tuesday, we could see this other feature running up from the southwest around our area of low pressure, so although it could could start fine and dry across much of scotland and england and wales, it will turn cloudier and wetter across northern areas through the day. this rain could be quite heavy and persistent, winds quite strong — particularly close to the coast. it will be dry through the daylight hours across eastern areas — 18 or 19 degrees before the rain spreads in from the west. and then the upcoming week remains very unsettled, very autumnal — strong winds at times with spells of rain, followed by sunshine and blustery showers. this is bbc news. the latest headlines. back home, huawei executive meng wanzhou returns to a heroes
