The telegraph claims senior Cabinet Ministers are in talks with labour counterparts to come up with a plan to force the government to soften its brexit strategy. The ft focuses on the warning from the eus chief negotiator Michel Barnier to get on with brexit talks, or face the prospect of the uk failing to secure a deal before the country leaves the union in march 2019. The i refers theresa mays comments to the 1922 committee as her mea culpa, saying the Prime Minister pledged to stay only as long as she was wanted. The times reports that mrs may told tory mps that she was prepared to scrap further cuts to public services, in a bid to win back support for the party. According to the guardian the Prime Minister was contrite at the 1922 Committee Meeting and that she sought to reassure back benchers more would be done to reach out to younger voters. The daily mirror portrays mrs may as Princess Leia from the star wars films, paraphrasing the movies famous line, may the force be with you. The daily mail is one of the few papers not leading with the Prime Ministers meetings, choosing instead to lead with the news a man they accuse of being an extremist has won legal aid to help fight his deportation case. Now its time for The Travel Show. This week on The Travel Show were in chile exploring a town that was knocked down by nature and how it splitting itself back together again. Also coming up on this weeks show it looks incredible. Were dangling over new york in Virtual Reality. Its the superman experience. Doo doo doo and meeting the man whos attempting to bagpipe his way around the world. Italian police started sprinting towards me and said, never come back but before you go, can i have a photo . The long coastline of chile is the point of collision between two tectonic plates, so large magnitude earthquakes are part of chilean history. No alarm sounded, some people fled to Higher Ground but many didnt escape in time. On the night of the 27th of february, 2010, the Central Coast of chile was hit by one of the biggest earthquakes ever recorded. The magnitude was 8. 8 and the city Of Constitucion was sitting at the epicentre. But that was not the only deadly force of nature to strike at night. About 18 minutes after the earthquake, a massive tsunami engulfed constitucion. The waves were as high as 15 metres. About 18 minutes after the earthquake, a massive tsunami engulfed constitucion. The waves were as high as 15 metres. The remains of the city were washed away. Exploring this area you dont have to scratch very far below the surface to see evidence of the tsunami still here seven years on. More than 500 people lost their lives all over chile to the earthquake and the tsunami of 2010. This family had made a living from their boats for generations, but theyd never experienced a tsunami before. When the earthquake began, they ran to their boats to head into the ocean trying to escape from collapsing buildings. They didnt know they were heading straight into the tsunami. After the tsunami, sofia and her husband found the strength to grow a business with three boats that offered visitors tours around this beautiful estuary. All over constitucion there are stories of 2 bravery and reconstruction. So this is the place. The first restaurant to be rebuilt kept its former name, the wavebrea ker. This is incredible. In two years. It must have been so tempting after the disaster to just cut your losses and run and go somewhere else, 2 but you stayed. Constitucion was historically a popular seaside resort, but tourism almost disappeared with the arrival of a woodpulp mill. After the tsunami, the pulp mill was reconstructed as it provided manyjobs. But the city also woke up to a new opportunity for bringing back the tourists. So constitucion has notjust been rebuilt but is enjoying a tourism revival. Local businesses have popped up trying to draw tourists to the area in new and innovative ways, like this one. Oh, man, this is so much fun i do feel a bit like ive swallowed most of the sand that you see around here and might die at any second, but its incredible fun 0k but can this region ever really recover 100 from the trauma of 2010 . The people Of Constitucion are an inspiration. Not only have they overcome the most unthinkable tragedies, but now theyre ready to bring joy to the people that come to visit. Next up on The Travel Show, the latest in our series of films about the people of london who keep the city running 21w. We meet someone who keeps londoners looking good round the clock. New bond street is like probably one of the busiest streets in london. And its really interesting to see the difference between the daytime and nighttime. The streets dead at night. Its peaceful, youve got the whole place to yourself so you can really enjoy it. And youre in london, youre in the centre london. Most people work between the hours of nine to five, so i dont know how the hell they can get their hair done. The salon, how can i help you . We actually offer a 24 hour service so you can actually come in whenever you like. Its really difficult to say without seeing your hair so its really best if you come in for a consultation. Thank you, sure, lets get you booked in. Theres no difference between hairdressers and binmen, we provide a service. Hairdressing went through a phase where hairdressers were like prima donnas. When the recession kicked in, the hairdressers needed the clients more than the clients needed those hairdressers. For me its probably kept me in business by offering 24 hour service. Because theres no contrast in your colour. Whatever you say, will, you know how to do it. Youre right, sexy mumsy. Because their phones are not ringing, people let go and they tell you the most intimate things. The last time i saw you you were going on a date. I mean, it went well fora bit and then we went on this holiday to prague and it was an absolute disaster. Some want to come in and they see the lights on and they want a haircut and theyll be drunk. A couple of times we did it it was cool until the next day and he said, im going to sue you he asked for it to be cut to there. So now we dont take any drunks, no drunks however people see me, i still love my clients, even, like, the Nightmare Clients i mean, theyre the ones that challenge you. Its not about money, i dont do what i do for money, i do it because i love the people. The travel show, your essential guide wherever youre heading. Time now for trending travel, your monthly mash up of the best travel related stories, snaps and videos online. It might not be everyones favourite instrument. But one hardy musician hopes to be the first to play the bagpipes in every country in the world. Ross 0connelljennings set off in april, 2014 and has visited 60 countries so far. I like the idea of being the first person to do something, but also bagpipes arent just scottish, they are an international instrument. There are over 130 bagpipes from countries around the world. Mostly its been positive responses. I was in the vatican city three years ago and i had a feeling that wasnt going to go too well. An italian policeman sprinted towards me and they dragged me and chucks me out and says, never come back, never come back but before you go, can i have a photo . In paris, a new project gives visitors the chance to see through time. Look through the binoculars of the Timescope Terminaljust installed near the pont darcole bridge and youll see an immersive 360 Degree Digital representation of life in the middle ages. Its the latest landmark to use Vr Technology to attract visitors, with other timescope terminals at Charles De Gaulle airport and the bastille. A solar powered catamaran has just embarked on an incredible round the world voyage. With Plastic Pollution in the worlds oceans at unprecedented levels, the race for Water Foundation hopes the voyage will help promote new, innovative ways of tackling the problem. Its expected to last five years, stopping off at the Tokyo 0lympics and dubais 2020 universal exposition. And a social Media Campaign helped spark an unlikely reunion. Marathon runner dion leonard encountered a stray dog on a six day race across the gobi desert, but after sticking together for the entire journey he lost track of his companion. She actually went missing in urumqi, which is a city of 3 Million People in north west china. They have their own social media platforms, weibo and wechat, so we had the whole of china posting it on their social media. It was just the best moment in my life to actually have her back in my arms again, i never thought we were ever going to find her. Dion has penned a book about his search with a Feature Film Adaptation in the works. Now lets look at the Travel Videos Clocking up the views online. Join us as we take to the skies with some of the internets highflying drone filmmakers. Drone photography, for me, started as a kind of backyard hobby, but now its taken me All Over The World for hobby and employment. I was doing underwater photography. I took that same concept of filming in three dimensional movement and took it to the air. My three top tips for getting the best shots dont fly nearairports, congested areas or helicopters. Try and fly smoothly. If you have smooth shots, it wont pull the viewer out of the experience. And film and fly when the light is beautiful. And if you say anything you think we should know about, dont forget to get in touch. Now, playing in the arcades at the seaside has been a Rite Of Passage for many a young holidaymaker. But times change and so do the games. And this year, were told, will usher in a whole new generation of amusements. We sent lucy hedges deep into an alternate universe to find out more. Some of the tech involved in Virtual Reality is awesome, but the cost is still way out of reach for most of us to have in our homes. Which is why pay by the hour Arcades Mightjust be the future. In North America and the far east theyve been a fixture for a while now. And europe is slowly beginning to catch up. Around the uk, in the second half of last year, very small independent arcades began springing up all over the place. Small vr centres have begun opening sporadically in towns around the country lincoln, penzance, edinburgh and liverpool were among the first to set up shop. But here in the capital, nothing. At least nothing permanent. The odd pop up in trendy parts of town might be doing brisk business, but a long term multi game facility is still to open. Continue firing. And there does seem to be an appetite. This is a gaming bar in north london. I believe the competition is happening right now. Would you visit a vr arcade . Yeah, definitely. Definitely, yeah. Its something thats so new and something everyone is talking about. Youd definitely do it. The thing is not everyone could afford a Games Console in their house, now everyone can, but they cant afford vr, so now vr is the new thing that you cant afford so you go and rent it for a bit. The Market Leader is htc, whose centres have been opening across china and taiwan and this is the year its looking to spread its ambitions to europe. In europe we are launching next quarter. Well have about 300 centres ranging from hard core gaming, as you would say, to education and culture. We are ambitioning to have about 1,000 locations before the end of the year, so its a fairly dynamic market. And of course speed is the essence. They come from the back and from the front. But they got me and across the English Channel theres a glimpse of what the future may very well look like. This is the 13th District in east paris. It might not look like anything now, i can see Building Sites and a lot of noise, but in the next few years this is going to really be something. In fact, theres something inside that im going to check out. This is slated to become pariss new Tech District and at its heart lies europes largest permanent vr facility. Wow i think this is probably the best vr space ive ever seen. It definitely doesnt scream arcade. Its nothing like the arcades from back in the day. But thats the great thing about Virtual Reality, its a new technology and therefore its bringing a whole new experience. And, like the Old Fashioned arcades, they deliver a Gaming Experience you would never be able to afford in your own home. You put your hand on the wing. You are going to go down to the ground and up to the sky. Ok, im ready. It looks incredible just soaring through new york. It takes a bit of practice, usually, with me. Im no longer plummeting into the side of buildings, thats the good thing. If you flap your wings youll go up. Oh, you can flap your wings too i did not know that 0h i could spend hours on that. Its like the superman experience. Da da da it just takes your mind off the fact that you are actually doing exercise, doesnt it . Im staring at a beautiful blue sky and birds and beautiful tropical surroundings. They dont like the word arcade here because they claim its an experience notjust about gaming but also about documentary, art and physical fitness. How much does it cost . A 20 minute pass is 12 euros and 42 minutes is 22 euros. Thats quite expensive. You have 12 experiences, you have all the best headsets, the best computers, its a beautiful venue. Wheres mk2 vr going to go in the future . We are looking forward to opening in major european cities and hopefully in the us, so we are looking for partners in london, berlin, lisbon, new york and los angeles. It feels more Silicon Valley than paris, but 2017 is definitely the year that vr is making its presence known, with spaces like this popping up all over europe. So if you want to step into a virtual world, now you can. Well, thats all weve got time for this week. Coming up next week. Ades at one of the worlds biggest sporting events, the americas cup, in bermuda. Bermudas just been amazing. The people have been fantastic. Finding out how top sports men and women are turning the spotlight onto the islands marine conservation. So this is the thing causing all the trouble. So dojoin us then if you can and, in the meantime, dont forget you can keep up with us while were out having adventures on the road by signing up to our social media feeds. Details are on the screen now. From me, christa larwood, and the rest of The Travel Show team here in chile, its goodbye. Yesterday was a bit of a breezy day for most parts of the uk, with a fair bit of cloud and a little bit of sunshine. In the north west of the uk, we got temperatures up to 12 degrees. But we got to 20 celsius in the south eastern corner. Were going to go a little bit warmer than that in the next few days, particularly so for england and wales. A lot of dry weather and the forecast and the winds are quite, light as well. Some decent conditions getting out and about. 12 or 13 degrees today and yes, some rain to be had, mainly in the north and west. A wet start in western scotland. The eastern side will be that the drier, perhaps brighter as well. A fair bit of cloud in Northern Ireland through the morning. Some outbreaks of rain as you will find in northern england. About here, not so large, but rain nonetheless. Then the cloud breaks up there. Sunshine possible during the morning across much of our southern counties. Light winds as well, so a reasonable start to a pretty pleasant day. We will see some good spells of sunshine across the southernmost counties. Patchy cloud developing. But with light winds, sunshine, it will become pleasant out there. Temperatures will get into the low 20s. To the west of rain time in scotland, that it becomes lighter and more patchy with time. Showers in Northern Ireland. One or two in northern england, but few and far between by this stage. 19 degrees for aberdeen and belfast, 23 in the south eastern corner. And then as we go onto tuesday night, heading into wednesday, this low Pressure System is trying to push in from the west. It is running into this high, and that results in the South Westerly Wind Being pushed north. That will bring warm air our way. Wednesday will be the peak of our temperatures this week across england and wales in particular. We start on a fairly warm note, and there will be a good deal of sunshine, light winds, too, with temperatures rising quickly through the morning. Through the north, more of a breeze. More cloud and some rain at times. But not so across england and wales. Lots of sunshine, light winds, and those temperatures get up to 25, 27 degrees in the south eastern corner. Quite humid as well. The low 20s quite widely elsewhere. Maybe the upper teens if you head further north. Going into wednesday night, to the west and a Weather Front is coming. Potential thunderstorms. This Weather Front is going to be bringing some fresher air in from the atlantic. The rain on this Weather Front fizzles out as it works its way from west to east. Still quite warm, though, actually, in the london area, on thursday 23 or 24. Further north and west, some showers around, and temperatures coming down by a notch or two.
