Recruit another 20,000 new Health Workers in england. Jeremy hunt said it is time to end what he called an historic imbalance between mental and physical health services. The Royal College of nursing has questioned if there is enough time to train so many staff. As a teenager, hope had a serious eating disorder. She thought shed got through it after treatment but, last year, a Family Bereavement triggered a relapse. She was offered therapy, but was told there would be a 12 week wait news she said was devastating. The way i was treated last year wasnt right. There were points when i did want to kind of end everything, and when i never thought id ever be well again. And it was at those points that i was so angry and annoyed at the system, because when you cry out for help, you already feel guilty because youve got this voice in your head telling you that you shouldnt be eating, you shouldnt be asking for help, so when you do call out for help and you get turned away, you think that actually, no one does care about you, no one kind of understands what youre going through. To cut down waiting times and expand Mental Health services, the government has announced an expansion of the workforce. Weve worked out exactly how many more doctors, nurses, therapists that we need. We worked out where we think we can get them from. Like all plans, it will be challenging to deliver it, but we are determined to hold true to our promise to transform Mental Health services. The plan for Mental Health staffing involves an extra 21,000 posts in england by the 2020 financial year. This will include childrens services, adult talking therapies and crisis care. But official figures show there was a fall of more than 5000 in the number of Mental Health nurses in england between march 2010 and march this year. The new Recruitment Drive has been welcomed by the Royal College of nursing, though leaders say it will hard to achieve at a time of Public Sector pay restraint and the abolition of free tuition for new Nurse Trainees in england. How are we going to do that in such a short timescale . When other Government Policies are actually getting in the way of that. So we already know weve got one in ten posts in Mental Health vacant. So weve got to fill those, as well as putting additional nurses in. Mental Health Professionals like Mandy Stevens believe the pressures of the job are affecting recruitment. She says in her experience more staff are leaving than joining. The emotional toll on individual nurses can be very difficult, making sure people are getting supervised. I think the pay has had an impact on nurses over the past few years and its quite difficult to make ends meet on such a low salary. As for hope, she says she has pulled through her latest Mental Health setback but she believes a lot more needs to be done to ensure people get the care they need when they need it. Hugh pym, bbc news. It is time for The Travel Show. We are taking a trip through pakistans biggest city on a bus. This might be a bit crazy along the way. We are looking at dolphins in india from a paddle board. Wow, did you see that one . That was right behind me. And we are crossing the Great Canadian Prairie on a train. Hello and welcome to The Travel Show with me, Henry Golding, coming to you this week from amongst the soaring skyscrapers of singapore where later on we will be meeting this weeks global gourmet. But first. This is a country that some governments say you shouldnt visit as a tourist. Pakistan. Terror related incidents, kidnappings and political turmoil have all taken their toll on the countrys reputation. And as the country prepares to celebrate its 70th Anniversary of independence, The Travel Shows Benjamin Zand packed his backpack and headed for karachi. Pakistan is in the news almost constantly, but coverage of this area is pretty one dimensional. If it is not focusing on the taliban, it is about the countrys differences with india or cricket. But there is a lot more to it than that. The country is home to over 190 million people, and 63 are under 25. Many of these are fun loving, forward thinking individuals who are changing the world. So i am on my way to meet some. Karachi is pakistans most dangerous and notorious city, but a Security Crackdown over the last few years means it has got a lot safer, and for a traveller like myself that means an experience like few others. Itjust might be a bit crazy along the way. All right, so i have changed into more suitable clothing because i want to get a taste of karachi and when you think of a tour you usually think of a friendly tour guide, some foreigners, a casual stroll around the city. But in karachi it is much different. It is done on one of these things. This is the super savari express. In a city linked more with bombs and guns than tourist trips, the super savari seems a safe choice. But this is a unique kind of tour bus, created to change the image of karachi not only locally but also around the world. Main aim to help karachis population reconnect with their city, and help the rich meet the citys poorest members. In its early days, each tour will come with an armed guard, but as the situation has improved, it is nowjust this big, beautiful bus. I love this bus, its incredible. Dont we all . What is the history of it . You see them everywhere in karachi. Well, you know, The Concept Works on the lines of this actually being a representation of the brides of the guys who drive them. Obviously, you can climb on the roof, and who doesnt want to climb on the roof of a bus . Why do you think a city like karachi needs Something Like this . There has been a disconnect between educated classes in karachi and the general population. What we have tried to do is eliminate that disconnect and show everyone that the culture that you have, the history that you have, and the city that you live in is for everybody, whether you live in a mansion or you live in a slum. And do you do this because you think karachi is misrepresented and it has a reputation it doesnt deserve . I will just say that there is so much more to karachi than we know. The cityjust has so much depth. It has depth in terms of the people who live here, the cultures that exist, the lifestyles, the architecture, there is just so much to see. There is Something Special about this mosque that i have to show you. The tour takes visitors around the city in an attempt to show its diversity. You visit mosques, hindu temples, churches, karachis version of the big ben, and then it is time for food. Sorry. Im going to ruin your tea party. What is this . This guy says traditional pakistani breakfast. Yes, a traditional pakistani breakfast is essentially you get chai and a type of an omelette, essentially most things in pakistan are made spicy, so the same with omelettes. I have noticed, my stomach noticed that a few days ago. You dip some of that in chai. You actually dip it in the tea . Yeah. I am just ruining your tea. I have got soggy pieces of dough in your tea. Our next stop. So this is lyari, widely regarded as the most dangerous area of karachi. Lyari has a pretty bad reputation, linked with gangs and violence, it is known as the worst part of karachi, but i was here to see what it was really like, and to play football. That is because i am in town to meet the people helping to change lyari for the better. And it starts here. So here in lyari there is only one sport people care about, and that is football. Theres over 175 registered clubs, and thats because these guys, like everybody else, absolutely love it. Anywhere you look you see man united tops, Real Madrid Tops and hopefully some liverpool tops, and i am here to find out a bit more about why that is the case. This is our lyari centre, in lyari, a centre of excellence, where we have approximately 100 kids that come across to train four or five times a week. We give them free football coaching, we give them life skills, sessions on top of it. So i have been asked to have a game with these kids, who look pretty good. Because i am wearing a liverpool top, everybody thinks i play for liverpool. A huge crowd has gathered. Yeah, look forward to me embarrassing myself in front of everybody. Here we go. After eyeing up the opposition, we began. Sand and heat, it is not a good combination. Soon, though, we were losing by two goals. Me and my new friend michelle realised it was our moment and, after generously being awarded a free kick, i curled it into the corner. Then two penalties later, we had won the game. After celebrating with my team, adequately named benjamins liverpool warriors, i spoke to michelle about football here. She runs the local womens team and is trying to get more women involved in football and, amazingly enough, it turned out i had just witnessed herfirst ever game on this pitch. You were a little bit nervous about playing because you are like the only girl here. Is this the first time you have played here . It is the first time i have played here without any other girls, and if you were to look around, and theres a game going on there, and theres an academy here, i think i am the only female in this stadium right now. Sometimes we go into an area where the culture is just extremely male dominated, and they dont want females to play. Despite the resistance from some people here, michelle says things are Getting Better for female footballers. They have just set up a new womens team. I am really happy to say that we actually have a girls centre here. From my point of view, it is brand new for them, but the interest is in that they are eager to play, they are keen to play, which is something very difficult in pakistan, to get girls excited about sports. There are 100 boys who come to the academy here, there are maybe 35 girls who come. That is about the ratio, but to me that is fantastic, because two years ago, there was zero. Up until about a week ago, i had no idea that anybody played football in pakistan, never mind there was this enclave where it was huge. Cricket is the dominant sport, but cricket also comes from a colonial past, and football is picked up in areas that have been otherwise neglected. These guys have had to come up with their own recreation, solving their own problems, and football is kind of. It is inherent in the game, solving your problems. 0h i kind of want to hear some rap. Music plays. So this really could not be more different from the image most people get when they think of pakistan. Time now for this weeks global gourmet, which this week comes from here in singapore, and today we are looking at a style of food unique to this part of the world, peranakan food, and a restaurant that has made quite a name for itself. What we do here is peranakan cuisine with a slight modern approach. If you see peranakan food, you kind of have the malay flavours and curries, but at the same time you also have chinese dishes, and you also have pork. So that is what is really unique about it. We are going to do slow braised pork ribs with buah keluak curry. This is the dish that everyone recognises the peranakan cuisine by. We always say if you can cook this dish well, it means that you can cook every other dish well. The base of most peranakan dishes are really what we call a spice base, rempah, and typically they consist of a few ingredients like shalotts, garlic, nuts, shrimp paste, galangal, turmeric and lemongrass. Shrimp paste smells to some people bad, like socks that you have never washed for a week. To us, delicious. We are going to caramelise it with some oil until it dries up, and it has this really nice depth of flavour. There is something really rich, and it adds Something Special to the sauce. In our kind of food, you really have to take time and be patient. If you rush it, the food will not taste good. So now you start to smell the garlic, the lemongrass, the chilli and the turmeric. At this point, this is the smell that i grew up with, and that is really the thing that always reminds me of when i was young. So this is the base that we use to Braise Chicken or other things. So the meat, after braising up to three hours, absorbs all the Spice Flavours that we have put in, and also it is nice and tender and moist in the centre. Slow cooked pork ribs on the Bone In Black Nut Curry sauce and a black nut sambal on the top. It is probably the last dish i will want to have before, you know, bye bye that is how much it means to me. Still to come here on this weeks travel show planes, trains, boats and bikes in the dead centre of canada. So dont go away. The travel show, your essential guide wherever you are heading. My name is spike reid, i am an International Mountain leader, and in october last year with some team mates, i set off from the glacial source of the river ganges and paddle boarded all the way down the river to the indian ocean. We covered 3000 kilometres. It took 98 days. It was a tough journey. But it was certainly memorable. The expedition really began in earnest when we launched onto the river at devprayag, which is where two rivers come together and form the ganges proper. Theres already a lot of flow, you have got these two raging torrents coming together. You jump on, and suddenly you have got these waves, you have got these flows, and it is like, right, can i stay on this board . This is the mighty paddle board. It is 30 inches wide. It is virtually stable, i havent really fallen in off it, and it has got such a great glide through the water. One of the biggest highlights on the whole trip was seeing the gangetic river dolphin. They are one of the most endangered aquatic mammals in the whole world. Wow sorry, you are not seeing any of these, but there are definitely dolphins. Did you see that one . That was right behind me. Trying to film these was really hard work. Theyd neverjump where you predict. Throughout the journey, local people were fascinated in what we were doing. We were working with a charity that is doing a huge amount of work here in terms of improving sanitation. It was quite sobering to see how many people are living without really any reliable clean water sources. The quality of the water in the ganges is incredibly low. Another plastic cup. One of dozens upon dozens i have seen just day. We have been paddling seven, eight hours a day, and northern india in november, december, can be tough. Some mornings, the fog was so, so thick, it was like pea soup. Those last two and a half days were tough. One day i paddled 78 kilometres and was on the paddle board for about 13 hours. The end point of ganges delta is gangasaga, and when i got there i was like, this is open ocean. There is no bank to my right, there is no bank to my left. We are here, we are here, we have made it i felt so alive. Very salty. As well as learning a lot about the challenges facing these communities, i think i now know how far i can actually push myself. Spike reid and his epic Paddle Board Journey down the ganges, and if you are planning, or have completed an incredible journey of your own, why not let us know . Watch out for details about how to contact at us at the end of the show. And finally this week, the last of our films marking ca nadas 150th anniversary. This week we are in manitoba visiting communities that rely on a fragile rail link to the rest of the country. But that line has been closed by damage from storms. Its owners say they cant afford to repair it and the communities may have to take over the rail link themselves. Oh, my goodness, i cant see the communities surviving without the train. It has been the mode of travel for years. cause its an isolated community, so you have only got the train or a plane, but usually everyone uses the train. They rely on it, right, because how are you going to get food . It will cost too much for Aeroplane Charters or helicopters to come in. Yes, in the winter, providing you have a good winter season, we can have the winter road from january to march, three months, but thats it. Spring and summer, fall is by rail. 0ur elders, they all worked on the rail, and i was born up north by the railroad tracks. Growing up here, i used to go out and go fishing with my grandparents and my grandmother, and i would go berry picking, and she would cook me rabbit every morning for breakfast. Pretty good. We have grandchildren. We enjoy watching them grow up here, it is quiet. It has its challenges, this is where we actually started, where our family was actually begun. Can bears eat ants . Yeah. What is that . Yellow creek. Oh, yes. You know that giant mountain, like that mountain . Me and noel nolan, we walked over there. There is a lake. This is the kids playground. They know every inch of this land. All this used to be a lake at one time. We are surrounded by muskeg, and we cant build a road there because sometimes we would say bottomless, but it isnt feasible for us to put a road in there and put in half a mile of dirt in the ground. Some of the challenges are getting our food, our gas, our vehicles. Everything is a challenge up here. What i like is that the children here are able to go out anywhere, and they are always watched by the whole community. Especially after the school is over, they go out biking, they go out hunting. They really learn a lot from it, because it was our way of life a long time ago also. Owning the railroad, i know that our leadership has been pushing and have been staunch believers in the rail. It has been here for years. I believe it will be here for a lot more years. I am hoping that we will get partners who will want to help get the needs and necessities into communities. That is all the time we have this week, but coming up next week. I only knowjustin bieber. You are a belieber . I am a belieber. Ben is getting in tune at a festival in pakistan. What are you waiting for . I am about to step in the ring with momo, who is a top contender. I am in thailand learning the art of kicking. Join us for that if you can, but in the meantime, you can follow us on the road Byjoining Our social media feeds. All the details are on your screens 110w. But from me, Henry Golding and the rest of The Travel Show team here in singapore, its goodbye. Hello there. The start of august is upon us. Does that mean a big change in the weather . Well, not really. We stick with that mixture of sunshine and showers we have become so used to at the end ofjuly. The shower clouds circulating around an area of low pressure. In fact, there could be some quite heavy showers in places as we go on to tuesday. Not all places will start off with showers. In fact, across central and eastern parts of england and Northern Scotland as well, should start of mostly fine and dry. But there will be some showers around 8am in northern ireland, with some sunny breaks in between. Quite a few showers at this stage for Southern Scotla nd showers at this stage for Southern Scotland in north west england, in fa ct, scotland in north west england, in fact, the showers perhaps hanging up into a long period of rain which could make for a soggy time in parts of liverpool and west wales, as well. A few showers across the south west of england, some spells of sunshine as well, and for much of the midlands, east anglia and the south east we will start of dry, with some spells of sunshine. 17 degrees there in brighton at 8pm in the morning. Watch the map as we go on through the day. The showers initially mostly concentrated in the west will become more widespread, just about anywhere could get a shower. Some places will get shower after shower after shower, with some hailand after shower after shower, with some hail and some thunder. Other places will stay dry all day long, most likely across south east england. That is also where we will have the highest temperatures. 23 degrees in london, cool and fresher towards the north west. Now, temporarily, High Pressure builds on across tuesday night. That kills off most of the showers. Largely dry start to wednesday for many but you can already see another change taking place out west, A Band Of Rain Beginning to spite its way across the south west of england. Winds picking up here as well and that is because our next picking up here as well and that is because oui next area picking up here as well and that is because our next area of low pressure is sliding its way in from the west by the state, with a frontal system threatening to bring some pretty heavy bursts of rain, and tightly squeezed isobars. Some strong winds, could see gales for a time on wednesday morning across the south west. The rain staggering its way eastwards, it will never make it to the scotland a north east england. That ran across southern counties of england should turn quite heavy later on wednesday afternoon. Low pressure than sticks with us into thursday. You can see the way the wind arrows are circling around the low again. We are back to that mixture of sunshine and showers. Fewer showers towards the south east, that is also where we will have the highest temperatures. More of the same of friday, a mixture of sunshine and showers, with most of the showers up to the north west. Welcome to bbc news, broadcasting to viewers in North America and around the globe.
