she was just she wasjust 19 when she was just 19 when she was seriously injured in a crash in an e scooter. her 20 —year—old boyfriend was killed. struggling with the aftermath of the accident, she is calling for helmets to be made compulsory for riders. e scooters are being trialled in more than 30 areas in england but in recent months they've been involved in several deaths. 0ur been involved in several deaths. our home affairs correspondent reports. he was 20 years old. he lived with his family in wolverhampton. that's where he met his girlfriend. he bought an e—scooter over the internet. the couple were on it together when it was in collision with a car. both suffered appalling injuries. the man fractured his skull and had a bleed on the brain. hospital staff pulled their beds together so that his girlfriend could be with him for the last time. a few days later, the machines were turned off and his life ended. in their first interview since the tragedy, chante and her mother amanda say they need to be more controls on e scooters. this is the first time that his girlfriend and her mum, amanda, have spoken publicly about the tragedy. when the police first knocked on the door, i was actually convinced that she'd gone, the way they were talking. at 19, the woman, who had been considering a modelling career, has scars all over her body and lifelong injuries. my knee just smashed into pieces. i've got two metal plates in my leg, i've got one here. the plates are screwed into place and this is literally holding my knee together. i fractured my elbow. i lost my two front teeth as well. so many e—scooters are being ridden illegally. they are banned on motorways. the only ones that should be on the roads are those which are hired as part of the official trials happening around the country. and even with these, pavement riding is banned. and it's illegalfor two people to be on one. he is one of the number of recent fatalities. meanwhile, privately owned scooters are meant to be used only on private land and shouldn't be ridden in any public area. his mother and herfamily are now campaigning for helmets to be made compulsory for all e—scooter riders. at the moment, you arejust advised to wear one. people are now seeing that we need to wear a helmet. don't let yourself be like my son, because it's not easy, he cannot be replaced. and do not let his passing be in vain. and his girlfriend has joined the campaign. the helmet could have saved his life. the injuries on his head, they were the worst. so if he was wearing a helmet, he could still be here, possibly. and how are you now? him passing is really starting to hit me now because before i was overwhelmed with my own recovery, i was so distracted, but now i think about him all the time and the fact he's not here now. this week on the show. auf wiedersehen tegel airport. getting in the zone for the paris marathon. and around wales by pipped up peddlo. 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 into 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've 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 a year since tegel airport closed to the public. now, it's full of deserted departure boards, closed carousels. makes you feel like you're walking 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. well, hello, roy. this strikes me as being an area where very few passengers would have gone. this used to be our baggage area for gate number eight and nine, and all the luggage came down here. in one year we had about 2 million pieces of luggage just 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. wow, did you use it? about 10,000 times. roy, i guess it must be strange to see it when you once knew it as the kind of bustling, throng of passengers. it's kinda funny when you just walk through here, there's nobody at all. berlin's new state of the art airport lies on the outskirts of the city in brandenburg. though roy believes he knows the main reason why tegel will be sorely missed. the thing was, all the business passengers knew it takes them, when they get out near a taxi to be in an aeroplane, with check—in and everything, it took them ten minutes. they always came to me. tegel will not be left to decay. its famous terminal and tower will be incorporated into a vision of the future with a new housing district and a 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 with art. the ethereal sounds you are hearing being played across the public address system at tegel is the work of the turner prize—winning sound artist susan philipsz. ambient air is a work, we have taken brian eno's ambient 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 architecture�*s really ugly. they use the term brutalist, doesn't necessarily mean ugly, but it is forbidding in some way. it does create a melancholy feel when it's empty. that is the real theme, solitude and melancholy. yeah, i think most people, when they came for the opening they 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 kind of special signal, that kind of air of anticipation of being somewhere like this, where i could be transported somewhere else, and apparently this next trip, if you like, a virtual one, takes me into a new dimension. voiceover: so now, you're on your way to the moon. . wow, this isjust incredible. now i'm in the middle of space, i'm now 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. now i'm kind of moving, kind of going through it! laughs. amazing, i'm 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'll fall down into these craters. now i'm moving away from the dinosaurs, floating into space. voiceover: welcome back. germany is in reflective mood this year, 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's so much affection, almost sentimentality for it. but what's also brilliant is that they've got new art in here that kind of throws things forward, the kind of the end of an era, because this place will never be forgotten. voiceover: 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're 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 peoplejust 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 he's hoping 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 yourfinal 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 and not 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 original flight, bought myself a new flight and about two minutes after i booked, 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 seemed 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 great 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'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 you go past are incredible, obviously the eiffel tower, the opera house, notre dame, 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 tells 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, 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, they have an incredibly - high intrinsic value - on the north wales coast — 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, away from itiuiti. 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. for most of this september, temperatures have been a lot warmer than you might normally expect to see. temperatures over the weekend, for example, reached 23 celsius in north scotland's kinloss, but, a cold front has since moved through, and that's really dunked the temperatures. in kinloss, the same spot, down to 13 celsius for a high on monday. and there were plenty of showers following our cold front through. that was one of those shower clouds working across the skies. there is the cold front, there are the shower clouds, but lurking to our west, this is what's coming next, and this is a developing low, a developing front that is going to spread more persistent rain in. however, over the next few hours, it's showers that are in the forecast, so if you are heading outside, wales, parts of southwest england, along with northern ireland and western scotland, that's where you are most likely to see showers over the next few hours. across many central and eastern areas, a lot of dry weather with clear spells. so not a bad start to the day, mostly bright and dry, but across wales and western areas of england, quickly that area of cloud i showed you, well, that's this rain that's going to be moving its way in. pushing eastwards and northwards through the day, the rain does eventually reach southern and eastern scotland. northwest scotland and northern ireland, though, brighter, again, a day of sunshine and showers here. and the day's top temperatures between around about 14—17 celsius with fairly gusty winds. that weather system clears out of the way as we get into wednesday, and what follows is a ridge of high pressure. now, the weather for many of us will be a dry with increasing amounts of sunshine. however, we are going to see showers feeding in across these northwestern areas. so west scotland to the north of northern ireland, northern parts of wales and into northwest england through areas like merseyside, cheshire, greater manchester and the west midlands — you're likely to see showers even into the afternoon. temperatures about 13— 16 celsius. wednesday promises to be one of the cooler days of the week. but a fair amount of sunshine. won't be too much of that sunshine an offer on thursday though because we've got an active weather system set to come in — bringing some heavy outbreaks of rain, and strengthening winds as well towards the northwest as we go on to the day, might even see some gales developing in places. temperatures, about 14— 17 celsius in the southwest of england. we've got more of this very unsettled weather for friday. general outbreaks,of rain, still quite windy. something of an improvement over the weekend, we are back to a mixture of sunshine and showers. hello,
