tend to find that it of the wind, solos. we tend to find thatitis of the wind, solos. we tend to find that it is the big ballads that become the hits from disney. the fact this is a specific moment in the story and also that all the characters are involved, it makes it perplexing, really. it sounds like you're at a party or something like that so you can see why it is infectious. that so you can

cloud. if you squint at the map that some bright and sunny spells across the south—west of england, some across eastern scotland. we will see one or two breaks in a pan elsewhere but generally speaking it is grey and under some of the thickest of the cloud just four or 5 degrees. this evening and tonight we keep the cloud which will at least keep the temperature is a putter if you do get some breaks in that crowd it could allow for a touch of frost. weak weather front into the far north of the uk tomorrow. elsewhere is another of those dry but mostly cloudy days. temperatures again between 5—9 but particularly chilly where it stays grey and drab. more cloud and the focus for tuesday and we will see some outbreaks of rain and of less of tuesday but it will start to turn a bit milder. hello this is bbc news. the headlines... the uk says russia will face severe economic sanctions if it installs a puppet regime in ukraine. calls for an investigation after former uk conservative minister nusrat ghani says she was sacked from herjob, because of her muslim faith. government chief whip mark spencer says her claim is completely false. tonga's government warns there's a long road to recovery — a week after the volcanic eruption and tsunami. two years to the day since china locked down the city of wuhan, beijing applies a �*zero covid' policy as it prepares to host the winter olympics. new zealand's prime ministerjacinda ardern is postponing her own wedding, after placing the country on the highest level of covid—19 restrictions. now on bbc news...it�*s the travel show with carmen roberts. this week on the travel show, tiny spaces in tokyo... ..vast wide open ones in finnish lapland. freedom, the silence around you, and generallyjust live a happier life. and the trips to look forward to in 2022. international restrictions will start to ease, restoring the benefits travel brings to the world. it's a city of dazzling neon, where robots can fix your drink, and you order your food from a machine. and even way back in 1972, architects were coming up with visions of the future that still leave us spellbound. this is the nakagin capsule tower. it's astonishing to sit here and look at this building, and even though it was built about 50 years ago, it still looks really futuristic. but the netting on the outside is a sign that time is beginning to catch up with the nakagin. it's made up of 140 pods, each of which can be detached and replaced. the tower was the first finished example of metabolism — an architectural movement inspired by the natural world — but this year it is scheduled for demolition. wow. this is it? it's tiny! hai! where's the kitchen? doko — kitchen wa doko desu ka? mr maeda owns several capsules. look at this tiny bathroom. i'm not going to even attempt to go inside. wow. that is small. it still works? yes. there's hot water? no hot water. 0h, tough. wow, and there's a bit of rust on the taps there. yeah. why is the building being demolished? how does it make you feel when you know that this why is the building being demolished? how does it make you feel when you know that this building will be demolished? the current plan is for some of the pods to be shipped off to museums around the world, but i'm off to see another resident here, who's still very much using hers. konnichiwa. 0k, shoes off? hai. i love your place. look, it's brilliant, it's mad — i've never seen anything like it! why do you rent a capsule here? koe is a dj. she live—streams from her pod on one of the upper floors of the tower. upbeat music plays. when nakagin is torn down later this year, there'll be empty space in tokyo's skyline. but it's not quite the end for metabolism. deep in the woods in nagano prefecture, about a three—hour drive from tokyo, is one building that is built better than the nakagin capsule tower. this is capsule house k. it's owned by mikio kurokawa, whose father was the architect of this and the nakagin itself. he intends to list it on airbnb. hajimemashite. arigatou gozaimasu. it's nice and warm in here. i love these �*70s features — they're great. it's got a real retro feel about it. arigatou gozaimasu. 0k. show me around. hai. it's in much better condition. oh, so this must be the kitchen capsule? old 70s interior. the building was designed for use as kisho kurokawa's own private villa. there is one central shaft with four capsules attached, each with a different function. and what you about the nakagin capsule tower in tokyo being set for demolition? i love the idea of a metabolically designed building — that parts or pods can be removed and recycled — but sadly, that's more difficult than it sounds, and while the nakagin capsule tower is destined for demolition, at least the original design concept is living on here in nagano. hello and happy new year to you. well, for me, and probably for you, it's been another challenging year for travel, and 2022 begins with a tangle of international rules that can make anyjourney a gruelling battle. but my hope is that as vaccination makes progress around the world, international restrictions will start to ease and borders will open, restoring the benefits that travel brings to the world. so what am i most excited about this year? the resurgence of rail in europe. during the coronavirus pandemic, many of us have reassessed our relationship with travel, wanting to limit the impact on the environment and improve the quality of the journey. and in europe, that means international rail, with new opportunities, such as italian railway�*s frecciarossa service, between paris and milan, enjoying complimentary food and prosecco as you speed through the alps. also, there's expanded overnight services, including new sleeper trains between paris and vienna and from amsterdam to zurich. the us finally opened to visitors from europe, brazil, and some other countries only in november. iflew into orlando, florida, on opening day — inconveniently a few weeks late for the big anniversary of walt disney world — 50 years since it opened on 0ctober1, 1971. but never wants to miss a party, the four disney parks will be having celebrations for 18 months, all the way through this year and into 2023. after two summers of disappointment, will this be the year when festival—lovers can return to worthy farm in the english county of somerset? glastonbury, arguably the most famous music festival in the world, was due to celebrate its 50th anniversary in 2020, until covid—19 forced its cancellation. now, emily evers, co—organiser of glastonbury, says it will go ahead injune, and two headliners are already confirmed — diana ross and billie eilish. the uk is hosting the women's euros for the first time with

travel show, fans will be able to drink alcohol in qatar in specially allocated zones. find out more in a couple of weeks when we will host an entire travel show special from qatar. wherever you are heading in 2022, i hope your travel dreams come true. joined me again soon for another global guide. still to come on the travel show... one of the best social distancers around. the woman who gave it all up for a new life in the arctic wilderness. i wanted to have more spare time, not work so much. and enjoy more. so don't go away. this week we are exploring the japanese capital tokyo. this is yoyogi park, right in the heart of the city and known for its cherry blossom in the springtime. i wanted to show you one pretty cool addition to the landscape, and here it is. this is yoyogi's new transparent loo, part of the tokyo toilet project, an attempt by some of the country's best—known architects to give us somewhere more beautiful to go about our business. these ones, for example, took mushrooms as inspiration as they sit in front of woodland. while this has hygiene at its heart with everything operating on voice command. from my mind though, these at yoyogi are the most outrageous. this is how it works. now you see me, now you don't. well, sort of. it takes a while to become opaque so i hope you're not in a rush. i've never seen anything like this. i felt a bit strange at first. were you worried people might see you? yes, i was a bit worried at first but then it gets darker towards when the time has passed so i felt safe. let's face it, japanese toilets have always been ahead of the game. with their hygiene sprays and their seat warmers, but this might take a bit of getting used to. anyway, now, if you don't mind, i have business to get down to. sometimes, don't we all want to just get away from it all? really far away. well, that is exactly what ava did, leaving her home in helsinki for a new life in the remote, freezing arctic. we met with her to see how her new life in a winter wonderland is panning out. this is my london life. bike rides through the park. you can see why this is one of my favourite parts of the cycle. the leaves, the light, the cute dogs. having coffee with friends, and, of course, not forgetting the tube at rush—hour. picadilly circus! but i'm leaving the big smoke for a while to visit kuusamo, which is just 60km south of the arctic circle, on the border of finnish lapland. the temperature and the db have dropped dramatically compared to london. i'm heading deeper and deeper into the wilderness. this is wild. ..to meet photographer ava. three years ago she turned her back on city life in helsinki to move to the wilds of northern finland and build her dream house by the side of a lake. believe it or not, it's actually a good place for snorkelling. definitely more of a summer activity, i think. don't get me wrong, i love being in the countryside, but it's minus 15 degrees here where in london it is plus ten. i've got two pairs of gloves on, three pairs of socks and i've lost count of how many jumpers and i still feel cold. i don't feel like selling up and moving here anytime soon but that could all change. ava. hi! so good to meet you. same to you. what an incredible spot. i can't believe you actually live here. welcome to our home. thank you. i mean, obviously, it's beautiful. it's also so cold. why would you move to a place like this? freedom is one of the biggest ones. just the silence around you, and generallyjust live happier life. what was it about the city that you didn't like? just the pace of life. everybody is so busy and you kind of let yourself go into the mode of that you have to just work and be super oriented with all that stuff. i wanted to have more spare time, not work so much and enjoy more. i feel like when i'm in the city there's always so much to do, so many places to be, but i feel like here you have a lot of time. what do you fill that time with? i take my camera a lot of times. i'd take it with me to the woods, and during winter we go with skis, obviously, because there is so much snow. show me the way. yes! as well as working as a photographer, ava is also a wilderness guide and takes tourists like me into her own winter wonderland. first downhill. i'm a skier now! when you look at ava's photography, her love for nature is evident. she uses her online presence and her tools to show the best the natural world has to offer, and what's at stake of being lost to climate change. i love taking photos of everything that is valuable. for example, old forests. i love taking photos there. i can show it to people, that this is what we should protect. should we head back and get warm? yeah, i think so. ok, let's go. as night falls, shortly after lunchtime, it becomes apparent to me that life here during winter is extreme. very extreme. as we head indoors to a restaurant to get warm, there is one question on my mind. does ava ever feel tempted to head back into the city for an easier life? nope, i don't think so. and why? we are building a house, a log house in the forest. why did you choose to do it there? we found this beautiful place that is on a lakeshore and we actually wanted a house that is facing north, that we could sit on our couch, have a fire going and watch the northern lights when they appear. so what advice would you give to somebody who wants to give up everything and move to the wilderness to live in their dream house? when we left the city, we have been consuming less. that's pretty natural here. but to be honest, it's not that expensive to have your dream life, at least here. a trip to finland wouldn't be complete without going to a sauna and it's here where it becomes apparent why ava chooses to live somewhere quite so rural. she's figured out the conundrum that us citydwellers have been mulling overfor years — how to stop time. when we're sitting in a 100—year—old sauna, it's going to be a memory that we are going to remember, like, all of our lives. i remember every time that i have been into this sauna and i remember every adventure that i've had in these fields around us. i even remember the walks that we have with our dog, and sometimes, of course, i might have a little memory of that with my camera. i remember all the things that i saw, all the things that i felt and heard. when i was in the city, there was, like, 365 days in a year, and you might have months and monthsjust running by and you don't remember any details of a day because everything is just so similar. when you're here, every year feels, kind of, longer because you're going to have so many more memories. before i head back to london, there's one more memory i want to make here in finland. i'm definitely the town mouse to ava's country mouse, but, like in the old story, what i've learned from my trip is to slow down and to find peace in a busy world. i've been wanting to do a snow angel all day. and i'm told that this is the traditional finnish way. here we go! oh my god! whew! ok, that's a memory i definitely won't forget! oh my god, it actually feels really nice. coming up next week... we're with one woman emerging from a hard lockdown as she battles her own anxiety on the road. so, this is it. i've made it to the mediterranean sea. i've been waiting for this feeling for so long, it feels like forever. unbelievable. and find out the tips, tricks and long—term solutions to make your travels a lot calmer. don't forget, you can catch up with more of our recent trips on the bbc iplayer. and we're on social media too. just search bbc travel show on facebook and instagram. but for now, from all of us here in tokyo, it's goodbye. good afternoon. the thought of travel might seem appealing at the moment. they might be looking for some sunnier skies because we have got a lot of cloud overhead in the uk by now. it is lively dry and has been a pretty dry january so far with this ivf high fish are keeping things dry through the weekend but the high trapping a lot of cloud underneath it, plenty of scenes like this to the uk at the moment. this is how it looks on the satellite picture. extensive cloud cover. some bright sunny spells across the far south—west of england, some sunshine in eastern scotland, a few glimmers of brightness elsewhere but if it does stay grey and drab where you i could just see temperatures of 11—5 close to birmingham and cardiff so it will feel really quite chilly across parts of the south. a little milder further north. across parts of the south. a little milderfurther north. now, to this evening and tonight we keep a lot of cloud. where the cloud does break for any length of time can be just could get loan for a touch of frost may be some foss patches a one goal around as well but by the end of the night we could see some outbreaks of rain 50 and was the far north—west of scotland, very weak weather system that would trudge a little for the day tomorrow but not much progress on that weather front. the most of us, it is a likely dry but largely cloudy day. some spells of sunshine, says in north wales in the northern midlands, eastern england and south of scotland and then late in the days and play the weather could just get on the far south—east of england. temperatures again typically between 5—9 . now, that weak weather front in the north disappears in the chart as we move into tuesday. the survey of high fish are killing off that weather front so we're back to square one that tuesday. more mostly dry but rather cloudy weather. some spells of sunshine here and there. equally, where you expose this westerly breeze across western scotland we could see some motion off to get a bit of patchy rain and drizzle at times. just for the music was about the midlands on tuesday, still chilly in the south underneath leaden skies. she netted wednesday we see this next rental system pushing towards the north—west. this one will have a bit more life than it was sent to the winds and also been some quite significant rain it was not for scotland but has that sinks its way south eastwards it will tend to weaken and for the bulk of england and wales it is another lively friday. some sunshine and a bit milder at this stage. 9—11. looking towards the end the week we stick with a milder feel. better chancesin stick with a milder feel. better chances in a little sunshine, i think on thursday. cloud are set to return on friday and many of us it is a largely dry week ahead. this is bbc news with the latest headlines. the former conservative minister nusrat ghani says she was sacked from herjob because of her muslim faith. the government chief whip says that's false. the justice secretary says a formal complaint is needed to trigger an inquiry. it can only happen if the person making the complaint makes it formally — that's when the procedures kick in. and just to be clear about this, that advice was given to nus back in 2020. education secretary nadim zahawi and health secretary sajid javid have called for an investigation into her claim, as has the president of the conservative muslim forum. no parliamentarian should be subjected to this sort of treatment and we need to get to the bottom of it. the government says russia will face severe economic sanctions if it
