clearing its way eastwards, so lingering longest for eastern england and eastern scotland, particularly for the northern isles where that rain could be quite heavy. but elsewhere a return to sunnier skies for the west. still some scattered showers rolling in on that breeze and temperatures around ten to 15 degrees, so cooler than recent days. many of us drive through the evening hours but overnight the next area of low pressure brings some wet and windy weather to northern ireland, wales and the south—west by early sunday morning. further north and east, clear skies. and a bit of a chilly start to the day tomorrow. that rain works its way north and eastwards across the whole of the uk. don't forget, though, the clocks are going to go back one hour overnight tonight so we're waving goodbye to british summer time, a very autumnal feel to the weather during the day tomorrow. so gales possible in association with that heavy rain. it clears to leave a mix of sunshine and scattered showers and top temperatures around about ten to 14 degrees. bye— bye. hello, this is bbc news with me, shaun ley. the headlines: world leaders arrive in rome for the g20 summit where climate change and covid—i9 are expected to dominate talks. but possible tensions ahead after the french president, emmanuel macron, warned that the row between britain and france over post—brexit fishing rights is testing the uk's international credibility. buckingham palace cancels all of the queen's official visits after doctors tell the 95—year—old monarch to rest for another two weeks. lawyers for prince andrew claim the woman who's accused him of sexual assault is out for �*another payday�* as they ask a new york court to dismiss the case. and new york prepares for a severe impact to its emergency services after a deadline to force first responders to get vaccinated passes. vaccinated. coming up on this week's programme, talking shop in paris as one of the city's most famous department stores celebrates its belated 150th birthday. it is big, really big! the underground railroad that had no stations and no trains but helped thousands of enslaved african—americans escape to freedom in canada. i love that term — freedom seekers — because if they had not sought freedom, who knows where we would have been to this day. and i head out to get the first of a glimpse of a galaxy over 20 million light years away. i thought that was a galaxy because it looks like the opening credits of a sci—fi movie. that is so cool. hello and welcome to the travel show. coming to you this week from a lockdown—free london, where the city's world—famous shops are slowly opening up again. over in paris, it is pretty much the same story, especially for one iconic department store that is celebrating not only opening its doors again, but also 150 years of being in business. we sent emeline nsingi nkosi over to do a little bit of windowshopping. lovely! paris is a second home to me. last time i was here, the streets were empty and shops were boarded up. today, it feels great to see things returning back to normal, even though some restrictions are still in place. but i'm notjust here to drink coffee, i'm here to shop, and where better place to do it than here? new york has its macy's, london has harrods. paris has la samaritaine. a new and improved version of this iconic department store opened in june last year after a long 16—year closure. so, here it is. la samaritaine. each of the sections representing a different moment in time, and, actually, it started as a small store just over there. now look at it! despite its humble beginnings, la samaritaine soon became one of the most well—known department stores in paris. it was a place to see and be seen. the shop where you could supposedly find everything. founded in 1870, the art nouveau building came first, the 19th century was a time of big change in paris and la samaritaine symbolised that change. but its ornate features soon became outdated. a few decades later, an art deco building was constructed next door in an effort to lure in the next generation of shoppers. and it worked, with the help of its quirky advertising, the store flourished. at its peak, it employed over 3000 parisians. but as times and tastes changed, the shop's popularity dwindled. safety concerns and high maintenance costs meant that in 2005, la samaritaine had to close its doors. many thought that was it for the store until luxury fashion brands lvmh stepped in with the help of 750 million euros. for parisians, it isn'tjust a building or a department store. when we reopen this building, all of the parisian people came to visit, notjust for the store but for the architecture. the building was completely gutted. some original features were discovered when stripping back the layers that used to cover the art nouveau interior before it went out of fashion. specialist craftspeople were tracked down from across france for the job. the result is breathtaking. wow. it's big, really big. this is great to see. i mean, it is heaving with people and you... you can just see that they aren't obviously here just to shop and eat, because they are walking around taking pictures of the structure. yes. how hard was it to redo? from this level, you can see every detail of the art nouveau period and architecture. you can see the stairs, the historic detail with the handrail. it is refurbished exactly the same design and the same kind of detail by the artissns. and you can see this from the 1960. you didn't see this because it was covered by a white painting. but, it has been far from a smooth ride. a brand—new building on rue de rivoli struggled to get planning permission, and locals said that modern facade didn't fit in with the local architecture. right here, you can really get a sense of whether older building that i know and love meets this new, more modern development. personally, i have a real soft spot for the old one. we are very careful to keep the dna that was really given by the founders. first, they were real innovators and they were innovators in terms of, for example, architecture, because now you have the art nouveau and art deco, right now it seems traditional but at that time it was really revolutionary for them. and we did the same thing, a little bit, with the rivoli facade. we asked the architect to do this very contemporary facade. that, you know, we prolonged the tradition of innovation from ourfounders. the store has shopping brands, food stores, and even a luxury hotel. it is something to see. before, it was just part of our love, but we don't see it. you know? we didn't take the time to admire. now, we stop and we look, and we talk. i really like these cherries. this definitely reminds me of being a child. but, with the rise of online shopping fuelled by the pandemic, is there still a place for the department store? 16 years have passed. we have to build some return for the next 30 years, so, i mean, we adapted to the changing habits, the changing clients that became much more sophisticated, demanding, expecting, you know, an experience, to really offer something different that you cannot find online. the decoration aspect is really important, and then also the experience that you have. you have a lot of light, you know, it's really nice walking around. and a lot of surprises captured in the store. many different things you cannot do online. this hat is absolutely gorgeous, look at that colour! doesn't fit, which is a shame because i have always wanted to be a hat lady. 0k! a velvet beret. as they say, when in paris... super—cute, but the price? yeah, sadly not for today. stay right there, looking beautiful. la samaritaine has been in business for over 150 years, and it has come a long way since then. while you might not be able to buy everything here any more, visiting is an experience in itself, and it is sure good to be back. stay with us. still to come on the travel show, we are off to america to meet the people from chicago who are learning more about the part their city played in the fight against slavery. we were just talking about how it connects to our heritage, being black women, and how empowering and invigorating it is to know part of your history. and i head up to the hebrides for a spot of stargazing, scottish style. so those are the stars! that is way more than you can see with the naked eye. we are off to the us now where the story of how the american civil war ended slavery in the country's southern states is well known. but what is not so well—known is the story of the underground railroad. it was a secret network, which, before the civil war, help to smuggle escaped slaves out of america and onto freedom. a new tour is helping many local people from chicago reconnect with that history, and we have been to meet some of them. the underground railroad had no stations, no tranis, and no tunnels. —— the underground railroad had no stations, no trains, and no tunnels. it got its name because it operated amidst the highest secrecy. 0nce escaping slaves jumped on—board the railroad, they simply vanished until they were either recaptured or reached their final destination. freedom. an undercover network of conductors or guides operated along the route of the railroad, which stretched from slave owning states in america's deep south all the way north to the canadian border. now, something called the african—american heritage water trail has been created to help preserve and share the history of this little—known but important section of the underground railroad. paddling along this trail, telling the stories. folks who have shown courage and fortitude. we are from the south side of chicago and i got an email to come along and join this canoeing trip. there are 29 stops along thejourney, covering more than 180 years of african—american history. you have freedom seekers travelling from south further north and this being a point of salvation in terms of like being able to stop somewhere and then be guided further up north in a safe space. it's estimated that tens of thousands of escaping enslaved african—americans used the underground railroad to push north and finally cross the border into what was then known as british north america, or modern—day canada, and freedom. the indiana avenue bridge was built by george dawson and his sons who were abolitionists back in the 1830s. along with the bridge came a ferry which became an integral part of the escape network. along the trail you will also find several locations like thanh farm which was owned by a dutch farming couple that provided safe places to stay, offering escaping slaves food and shelter for the night before they continued theirjourney north. there were black and white abolitionists working together to assist freedom seekers and some of those folks stopped at the farm. this site is a stop on the journey. when we finally did the very deep map and archaeological research that the actual site of the farm is on the property of what is now called chicago's finest marina which is the oldest black—owned marina in the chicago region. we are part of chicago but also part of a deep, rich history that has not been told yet and the property was actually used during the underground railroad to hide freedom seekers who were coming from all over, trying to escape slavery down south, and just to look off into the water and wonder what their travels were to get this far and this close. the mixed emotional thing because it is an honour being the owner but also, you — are like the keeper of the records. piece by piece, researchers have been slowly uncovering many of the until—now unknown people and places that played such an important role in the story of the underground railroad. it is a tale of bravery, endeavour and, above all, hope for freedom and a better life. me and my paddle buddy were talking about how it connects to our heritage, being black women, and how empowering and invigorating it is to know part of your history. our ancestors, the people came before us, the freedom seekers, i feel honoured for a momentjust to be where they walked and kind of experience a little bit about what they may have experienced. i love the term freedom seekers, because they sought freedom. who knows where we would have been to this day. —— i love the term freedom seekers, because had they sought not freedom, who knows where we would have been to this day. well, if you are a regular view of the travel show, you will remember that earlier this year, we took a trip across the length and breadth of the british isles in our all electric travel show van. but when we visited the outer hebrides, the group of islands of scotland's wonderful west coast, we made an extra stop in stornoway, where i met the organisers of the annual hebridean dark sky festival which ended at the end of this month. stornoway is the main town on the outer hebrides. around 6000 people live here, roughly a quarter of the island's entire population. and despite the weather, they have given me a warm welcome. hello! hey, guys. i have arrived at the town's arts centre where they are just about to wrap up their latest exhibit. andrew, so what are we seeing here on this screen? this is a series of films called 0ur night skies which were done all over the world during lockdown. wicked! it was commissioned by an artist collect called lumen who are doing their first scottish exhibitions as a part of our festival. andrew is one of the main organisers of the hebridean dark skies festival which has been running since 2019 with events combining art and astronomy. i think one of the interesting things that artists and astronomers have in common is the sense of wonder, you know? about the universe and the scale of the universe. and would you say that you could only really hold the festival like this here in the hebrides? i think so, yeah, because on the one hand you've got stornoway with a fairly sizeable town with an arts centre but on the other side, the rest of the island is mostly villages and so is almost no light pollution and so that's where you really get to see the incredible skies above. one of the best stargazing spots on the island can be found one hour down the road at gallan head. it was an raf base during the cold war and now, it's where the festival takes people to observe and photograph the night sky. this is andy. andrew and andy, you have done this on purpose. yes, just to confuse you. what is it about seeing galaxies and seeing stars? well, galaxies in particular are so far away and you are looking at a time, one of our nearest galaxies the andromeda is 2.5 million light years away. it is like a moment in time, isn't it, and they say it's good for seeing the planets? it's amazing. we have some of the darkest skies in the whole country. around the world, there are more than 100 official dark sky locations. designed to protect remote spots like this one against light pollution. gallan head has not been officially recognised by the dark sky organisation but as the last rays of sunlight fade away, i am given one of the best views of the night sky that i have ever seen. all right, so show me how to take these pictures, then, andy. press that one. andy set up a camera to take 30 second—long exposures. that is to allow enough time to allow the light from those distant stars to reach the camera's sensors. so those are the stars? that's way more than you can see with the naked eye! are there any galaxies and stuff like that, this camera would not be good enough, no, but a telescope would be. 0k! so is there a camera on the bottom of this? very clever! light, please. thank you. here. yes. there you are. so that is a galaxy? that is a galaxy. i mean, i thought that was a galaxy because it looks like the opening credits of a sci—fi movie. i mean, i know that sounds really weird! but that is so cool! that is called messier 101 or the pinwheel galaxy which is about 21 million light years away. quite far away. it is really beautiful, and you know what? guys, this is the first time i've seen a galaxy in real life. 0h, great. this is my first, thank you for this. this is, yes, it's so cool! look at that! and the hebridean dark skies festival starts up again in february next year. now, that was a really special experience. seeing all of those galaxies millions of light years away blew my mind. truly amazing. now, i hope you enjoyed that because that's your lot for this week. join us next week, when... christa will be in iceland, joining the annual traditional round—up of thousands of wild horses before the winter sets in. these guys are not just any old horses. these are viking horses. no time to check them. and we start an epic journey to siberia in a car that has frankly seen better days. i hope you canjoin us for that and don't forget, in the meantime you can find more about travel show adventures on the bbc iplayer. but for now, from me, ade adepitan, in an autumnal london, it's goodbye. hello, we have seen some heavy bursts of rain earlier on this morning, but the rain will be easing its way gradually eastward, so it's going to be an improving picture through the course of today. a return to some sunshine around, but certainly still rain at times on and off through the course of the weekend. and it's going to be quite breezy as well. feeling cooler, in fact, than we've seen over recent days. here's today's weather front with us, pushing its way eastwards then a smaller ridge of high pressure for a time, so some sunshine returning to northern ireland, wales, south—west england, for instance. the cloud and the rain lingering for longest for eastern england and eastern scotland. quite breezy with that rain as well, but an improving picture this afternoon. it won't be as warm as recent days. temperatures around about ten to 15 degrees and there will be one or two scattered showers still moving in from the west as well, but predominantly dry later on as we head on into the evening hours. 0vernight, though, we're going to see the arrival of the next area of low pressure moving its way in, bringing some heavy rain and some strong winds to the south—west of england, wales and northern ireland through the early hours of sunday morning. further north and east, we've got clearer skies, so actually quite a chilly start across the north—east of scotland. don't forget that the clocks are going to be changing tonight, the early hours of sunday morning. they're going to go back one hour, so you may be lucky to get an extra hour in bed sunday morning — unless you've got small children, of course! this area of low pressure, though, still with us to dominate sunday's weather, so it's going to bring more wet and windy weather, gales possible at times, particularly through wales, south—west england, through the english channel as well. that heavy rain moving northwards and eastwards, followed by some clearer skies and heavy, potentially thundery showers as well, so a really mixed picture through the day tomorrow. temperatures only about ten to 1a degrees, so just starting to come down a notch compared to recent days. it is, of course, halloween, october 31st. if you've got plans to go trick or treating, quite a bit of dry weather in the south and the east, but more showers rattling in to northern and western parts. moving through into monday, then, and we've still got low pressure sitting to the north of the uk, so another fairly windy day to come and there'll be some more heavy rain in areas that could really do without it, particularly south and west scotland into north—west england as well, so the potential for furtherflooding problems as we head on into monday. a little bit drier further south with some sunshine, but temperatures about nine to 13 degrees. so really, the next few days are looking reasonably mild, but still very unsettled. something a bit drier and cooler into next week, bye—bye. this is bbc news. these are the latest headlines in the uk and around the world. world leaders meet in rome for the g20 summit where climate change and covid—19 are expected to dominate talks. borisjohnson admits strains in the relationship with france over post—brexit fishing rights, but does not want that to distract from the g20, the key climate change summit in glasgow. we are going to get on and do the things that matter to both of us. and make sure that we work together on tackling the big issues that face the world. there was some turbulence in the relationship. i am the world. there was some turbulence in the relationship.— in the relationship. i am in the 620 summit in rome _ in the relationship. i am in the 620 summit in rome whether— in the relationship. i am in the 620 summit in rome whether talks - in the relationship. i am in the 620 summit in rome whether talks are | summit in rome whether talks are under_ summit in rome whether talks are underway. —
