The former brazilian footballer, ronaldinho, has been arrested in paraguay after he attempted to enter the country with a false passport. He and his brother were allegedly given false passports when there plane touched down. Last month was the wettest february ever recorded in the uk with storm after storm sweeping the country. In east yorkshire more than 80 homes in snaith and cowick still cant be reached and the water is taking a long time to recede. Our correspondent danny savage has been speaking to some of those affected. Much of the water hasnt gone away. People are still dealing with the consequences. If we had been stood in the spot at the peak of the flood we would have probably been a foot of water above our heads at the moment. Seven foot deep here . At least. People like mike whos had flood water in their homes for four weeks now. We are on a septic tank system here, the system backed up, and so although we have been able to live in the house we are very
careful about how many times we flush the toilet or how many times we get a shower or whatever. The water was so deep in his garden even the treehouse was underwater at one point. And its notjust homeowners affected by the floods, it was farmers as well. This was a vast greenhouse full of lettice. For days it was underwater. So the whole crop has been ruined, all the glass has been broken, that means a huge bill for the farmer who owns all of this. Residents who were so desperate to protect their homes they built their own flood barrier. It worked for a while, then the water got through and ruined more homes. In nearby east cowick, you still cant get to some houses. Its draining away, but only slowly. A few days ago we visited mick in his flooded bungalow. The water here has gone, now comes the plan for the future. We are trying to get a caravan on the front lawn so we are here on site but you will move into a caravan in the front garden. We are hoping to. That will not be much
fun for six months. Better weather is coming. Across the road, tony talked to us a few days ago. His insurers have told him not to move his furniture, but they wont be here for another week. Its getting wet upstairs now, damp, because there is all this rubbish in the bottom. And they dont want you to move furniture and things out . No, nothing. Millions of litres a day still need to be pumped out of this landscape to erase the great inland lakes of yorkshire. Now on bbc news its time for the travel show. This week on the travel show, we are injerusalem. Where this week on the travel show, we are in jerusalem. Where i this week on the travel show, we are injerusalem. Where i go under the streets of the city to discover its ancient treasures. Look at this. They also get my coffee cup bread in jerusalems albanian quarter. They also get my coffee cup bread in jerusalems albanian quarter. Two people are disturbing you. You have got to watch yourself. That sounds
right. We watch the transgender traveller who found freedom in india. And londons originalfast food. Anyone fancy some pie and mash . Its a city that is home to the worlds three major monotheistic faiths, drawing on more than 3. 5 million tourists a year. And, of course, it is the diversity of
ancient monuments, civilisations, and architecture that everyone finds so and architecture that everyone finds so compelling about jerusalem. And architecture that everyone finds so compelling aboutjerusalem. And history just keeps on so compelling aboutjerusalem. And historyjust keeps on giving, because every day, even now, new discoveries and secrets are being revealed and, in fact, one of the worlds most significant and controversial excavations is taking place right underneath my feet. Hello. Nice to meet you. Welcome, welcome to the city of david. Hello. Nice to meet you. Welcome, welcome to the city of davidm hello. Nice to meet you. Welcome, welcome to the city of david. It is the most spectacular place to be in israel. Lets go take a look. Frannie is a guide in his is excited about the excavation of what was the pilgrimage road 2000 years ago. About the excavation of what was the pilgrimage road 2000 years agom these are all original steps that we are walking up. It was discovered by accident after a water pipe burst on the road above it during a snowstorm in 2004. We are about to have a big climb. Lets do it. Up we do it. The
pilgrimage road runs to temple mount. It has almost been totally excavated now, and this is what they discovered. Paving stones in almost pristine condition. So we are now walking on original 2000 year old limestone streets that was the centre of all ofjerusalem. Limestone streets that was the centre of all of jerusalem. This is the original limestone . Original. Perfect as if it was walked on it yesterday. It was in the 19th century that activists first twigged that the ancient city of david wasnt actually within the old city walls ofjerusalem, wasnt actually within the old city walls of jerusalem, but wasnt actually within the old city walls ofjerusalem, but here, further south. But why is it so significant anyway . So the city of david is pretty much ancient jerusalem. It is thejerusalem sta rts jerusalem. It is thejerusalem starts as the capital of this area, 3000 years ago, which means everything thatjerusalem 3000 years ago, which means everything that jerusalem is 3000 years ago, which means everything thatjerusalem is today pretty much we can learn about it,
whether it is politically, religiously, culturally. This former car park is where more incredible discoveries have been on earth, from the roman and by xanthan periods and before. It will become the Visitors Centre when the work is complete on the pilgrimage road. As we go down were back in time. Astonishing. When you see all these delays were pretty much going back thousands of yea rs. Pretty much going back thousands of years. You have a house right down there, just below us, it is from 586 bec bce. There, just below us, it is from 586 bec bce. These columns are the roman period. We are only a couple of metres up. It is really so small. You are actually walking up and down. You are walking up and down through time. It is still a few yea rs before all through time. It is still a few years before all this will be completed, but in the meantime tourists are helping to uncover the past. Archaeologist Frankie Schneider regularly supervises groups of visitors that they help to trawl through the debris. At first she gives them advice on what to
look for. So, lets grab a bucket and see what we can find here. Ok, lets go. All the buckets we are sifting from today come from the pilgrimage road. What might this be . A tooth . Yes. Lets look at that. This is a first for me. Im holding a 2000 year old tooth. Most days teams of volunteers and tourists turn up and sift through an amazing amount of debris. People often find coins. Most of our coins are made out of bronze, so they are going to be green, round, flat, and cruddy. First you will find out whose picture is on it and what the date of the coin is. Like the ones we found with Pontius Pilates picture on it. He was the appropriate tour. And infamously, or famously. Infamously as the one who condemns jesus to die on the cross. Im going to give you one more piece to throw into. As a seasoned archaeologist, how comfortable is frankie with the excavation happening underneath peoples homes was loi have seen them down there working and they have a whole method for how they drill into an area they are going to go into, how they put framing inside of there and take the dirt out. It isa of there and take the dirt out. It is a secure tunnel. Was the project tea m is a secure tunnel. Was the project team insists most safety is the thing, that isnt how every body especially among the palestinian committee, who live above the city of david site. Local residents say cracks and sloping like this to dozens cracks and sloping like this to d oze ns of cracks and sloping like this to dozens of houses have been caused by the excavation, complaining its slogan during an earthquake. Nonetheless, the Israeli Supreme Court rejected those claims
saying its like. As with many issues injerusalem, saying its like. As with many issues in jerusalem, there saying its like. As with many issues injerusalem, there are two quite different stories being told. Aziz, travel writer and guy, offers the alternative palestinian version. They met him at damascus date. Jerusalem has many layers. Underneath us is a road from the second sanctuary. From the second century, going on here . Yes, it is from the old market. He feels it is important to recognise here in the market in the old city local arab families have been here for generations. Azizs company Tourist Company gives the chance to experience an alternative experience to what is in front of them. The whole building was actually underwear we are standing now. And for here, given the chance, he thinks there could be a whole different type of tourist route in jerusalem. The city of david will
tell you the jewish jerusalem. The city of david will tell you thejewish story, which is legitimate, and is important to be told, but it doesnt really tell you the story of the palestinian residents there, or the islamic groups that have lived injerusalem as well. So if you come tojerusalem and go to the city of david only, you will hear one narrative, a single narrative, and thats not fairtoa single narrative, and thats not fair to a city that has so much history, so most diverse history, it has jewish history, history, so most diverse history, it hasjewish history, it has christian history, it has muslim history, and each of those has multiple histories as well. An arab traveller said travel makes you speechless, but thenit travel makes you speechless, but then it turns you into a storyteller. And the best way to visit a place is talk to those shopkeepers, talk to the people you meet on the street, everybody here is willing to talk to you. Ask them a question, ask them about their stories, the stories of their shops, how long have their families live here . Talk to the people who live in the city and you will find so much more. And thats exactly how aziz
found out about this next discovery. He is saying 2000 years of history. Down here is 2000 years of history . Youve got to take me down. Im taking you down. Wow. Look at this. Welcome to underground jerusalem. Aziz, tell me, what are you saying down here . What is down here . This is probably around the time of the crusades. There are very few people who have seen this. We didnt know this existed, 1. 5, two years ago, so it is an amazing thing which you see right now. And in terms of levels of history, you are saying this is the crusades, beneath here. There is another level. And this is not only under this restaurant, this exists everywhere in the old city in jerusalem. Hong liu stories to be told. Whole new stories to be told. Whole new stories to be told. Heres is there are, in
jerusalem, any excavation is going to be both amazing and controversial at the same time. But for followers of three of the worlds major religions, curious tourists, and lovers of history alike, the fact is this city will always be a draw. And if you are thinking of coming here, here are some other things you may want to see or do. The country has more than 60 National Parks and reserves to take your pick from, but why not had to tim uppal down in the south . There have created 54 kilometres of bike paths divided into several levels from beginner to extreme tracks stop you can also hire extreme tracks stop you can also hi re bicycles extreme tracks stop you can also hire bicycles for the whole family while you are there. For something a bit different, head to the negative desert this aprilfor bit different, head to the negative desert this april for israels largest hibi festival. The festival ta kes pla ce largest hibi festival. The festival takes place over five days with lots
of dancing, meditation, music, and yoga. And, finally, did you know israel is home to the worlds only Theatre Company comprised entirely of deaf and blind actors . They are based in jaffa, just search for the Theatre Company. The performances are told through speech and Sign Language and cues are given to the actors by a drumbeat so they can feel the vibrations.

This is good. I enjoyed that. You enjoyed it . I believed it laughter 0h, laughter oh, dear, dear, dear. And now in the latest of our series about people who travel differently, for sue
pascoe, ever since she transitioned from being a man to a woman, she has found it difficult to gain a cce pta nce found it difficult to gain acceptance while travelling, until thatis, acceptance while travelling, until that is, she went to india. They say travel is good for the sole and it certainly is. Soul. It is broadening my horizons and ive a lwa ys broadening my horizons and ive always loved travel. My name is sue pascoe. I love the travel experience andi pascoe. I love the travel experience and i happened to be a trans woman. So travelling now as sue, i am at peace with myself was not in the past when i have doubled, often i was so in my head dealing with my own problems that i didnt always see the beauty around me. Its like the difference between listening to things in stereo and seeing things
in 3d. The leaves, the trees, the sounds, so much more of me is in the here and now that all my senses see things differently. My travel choices, and i think about them quite carefully, one of my trips abroad was to go to india. And going through heathrow was really difficult. There were comments, there were nods, there were things i overheard, somebody saying look at that man in that dress. And i wanted to shrink away. I got on the plane andi to shrink away. I got on the plane and i felt really low. To shrink away. I got on the plane and ifelt really low. The
stewa rd esses and ifelt really low. The steward esses we re and ifelt really low. The stewardesses were brilliant. I was ona ba stewardesses were brilliant. I was on a ba light and they were really, really nice. Flight. But passengers around me werent. And i could overhear quite a bit of the conversation and it wasnt really pleasant. It was, what is this person doing in this part of the cabin with us . And it was. Not at all pleasant. And so i laid down and put the blanket over me and just shut the world out. I got off the plane in india and i could not believe and understand or could have comprehended the difference in the way that i was welcomed. I got off the plane, and before i got through
the plane, and before i got through the baggage hole, people were coming up the baggage hole, people were coming up to me, putting money in my hand and wanting their picture taken with me and wanting their picture taken with me baggage hall to stop and i couldnt understand this. And it kept on happening. And what i learned was that in indian culture, i was being regarded as someone who was semi divine. And that was my moment when i decided that id found one place in the world that no matter if everywhere else didnt accept me as sue, here was a place where i could be sue. Today, travelling as a woman with a trans pastis travelling as a woman with a trans past is culturally significant for me. And seeing how different
societies act towards trans people is fun. The biggest thing that i have on my face today is a smile. And when you interact with people with a smile, your whole experience is different. Now, finally this week, long before the cheeseburger, it was here in london that a more british fast food was invented. We are talking about this and chips, this is pie and mash a symbol of this is pie and mash a symbol of this of beef pie, served with a liquor sauce and fresh parsley. You will often find this in the pie shop that. The working class because of the city. They are fighting for survival and working families are working hard to keep this cockney classic alive. The difference between a good pie and a bad pie . Good ingredients first, if you havent got that, it is trying to make a silk purse out of sales year, which doesnt really work. So you must have good ingredients and then you have to make it properly sows ear was that you have to make it as it should be, so it has 20 of me, a nice drop ofjuice in it and good shortcrust pastry. And then bakeit good shortcrust pastry. And then bake it properly in a bloody good other than, bobs your uncle, youll end up with good pie. Good oven. Offering cheap but wholesome food in london since victorian Times Leading the charge with two immigrant families, both from victorian times immigrantfamilies. Families, both from victorian times immigrant families. They expanded their empire and honestly century and a half layers of their pie shops are still in Business Today half
are still in Business Today half a century later. After hundred and 50 odd years, a good, solid basic meal. There no additives or or anything. The pie shops quickly became a hub for many people in communities where life could be tough. And it is still a kind of home from home for some of the regulars whose families have been coming here for generations. This is one of the customers coming in now, hes been coming in for a good 40 50 yea rs. Hes been coming in for a good 40 50 years. I have grown here and ive seen every shop here he built. Im 76 and im glad to see everyone come in again. Over the past 25 years, the fortunes of this part of london have changed. The docs shut and more Traditional Industries disappeared. New, high tech businesses, start ups and developers moved in. Pity prices and developers moved in. Pity prices and bread sword and many locals moved away. Plus, new immigrant
communities have brought their own tastes and flavours and taken on the humble pie. Property prices and rents sword. These to be just a chicken shop, fish and chip shop and pie shop. Now the competition is almost limitless. All of our portions of the pie have gotten smaller. 25 years ago there were close to 60 pie and mash shops in london, now there are barely 20 left. All of which have defined new ways to adapt to survive. We now do av ways to adapt to survive. We now do av a ways to adapt to survive. We now do av a vegan pie so they can come in with theirfriends, av a vegan pie so they can come in with their friends, which is nice. Social media has done a lot in spreading the magic of pie and mash around the world and now brings tourists looking for a slice of traditional, old working class london to places like cooks and
manzers, hopefully ensuring the survival of many years to come. So many years. As a Youtube Video about this place. The whole process about how the pies i made, so that would be really nice. Pies are made. Im grateful this place has been open for so long. We came all the way from singapore to try this traditional, blue collar english food. It needs a missal and star when you can have home made pay missal and star when you can have pie like this and a big dollop of mashed . We have had people from the four corners of the world and they come in and go oh, joe can we have a picture with you . And some of them have come straight from the airport its unreal, absolutely unreal. Look at the jews coming out of that savage those spuds, give them a rinse please. Bobs your uncle. And that is all we have time for today. Join us next week when. Adi ta kes a today. Join us next week when. Adi takes a look back at some of our best trips and adventures this year on the show. So catcher is that if you can. But until then, from me and the rest of the travel show team here injerusalem, the rest of the travel show team here in jerusalem, its the rest of the travel show team here injerusalem, its goodbye hello. On the plus side, the weathers not going to be as bad as its been on some recent weekends but,
then again, it will still be windy and it will be wet at times. This area of low pressure will feed in these weather fronts over the weekend, especially during saturday saturday night, and then behind this cold front on sunday, it will feel a bit colder. There will be some sunshine again, but there will also be some heavy showers. So, for the weekend, then, it will be wet at times, certainly not all the time. Its going to be blustery throughout but well also get to see a bit of sunshine, more especially by sunday. Now, temperatures are on the up after an early frost by the time we get to saturday morning, particularly where weve got some cloud towards the north and west of the uk, and some outbreaks of rain from those weather fronts i showed you a second ago. Any early sunshine in east anglia and the south east will be short lived. And eastern parts of the uk could well see a bit of patchy rain at times, but the afternoon stays largely dry. There will be outbreaks of rain towards wales and Western Areas of england, but it will turn heavier and more persistent through Northern Ireland and especially across some southern and western parts of scotland on through the afternoon. It is going to be windy. Gales through the irish sea and some coasts here could be up to 50mph gusts. These are your wind gusts for you. And we are going to see rather misty
and murky conditions developing with Poor Visibility for some around coasts and hills, especially in the west, on what will actually be a milder day. But then again, its cloudier, its windier, and for some of us, its wetter. And overnight saturday night, sunday morning, the rain does move south. Now, before it clears from southern and western scotland, there could be some problems here from high rainfall totals in some of the higher ground, up to 70mm, coupled with snow melt, so that could bring flooding in places. A much milder start to sunday but with cloud and outbreaks of rain around. That clearing the south east early on sunday morning and behind that, lots of showers moving through, but not a washout of a day because there will be some sunshine. But catch a shower on sunday, it could be heavy, thundery, some hail. Some snow over the higher hills in scotland and still very gusty winds as well, and it is going to feel a bit colder on sunday because remember, there has been a cold front thats moved on through. And just to give you a flavour of things into the start of next week, the detail not yet set in stone but it does look like an area of low pressure yet another one coming into the uk and that does mean more wind and rain. A few locations then into next week to give you a flavour of things. It starts wet and then it turns showery after that. In most places, it will turn a bit cooler as well as the week goes on. Thats your forecast. Good morning. Welcome to breakfast with Rachel Burden and charlie stayt. Our headlines today a second person in the uk has died after testing positive for coronavirus.
