A man has been arrested under the Terrorism Act

after two police officers with a large knife near Buckingham

The officers were hurt while taking the 26-year-old

into custody when he was found with the weapon in a vehicle

Concerned crowds look on as police investigator possible terror

incident outside Buckingham Palace. The Met says just after 8:30pm

yesterday a man stopped his car near a police vehicle. Officers then

spotted a large bladed weapon in the car and went to arrest him. Two

police officers suffered minor injuries to their arm and were taken

to hospital for treatment. The Met has praised their brave and swift

action that meant the suspect was detained very quickly. No members of

the Royal family were in Buckingham Palace at the time. Cordons were

quickly put up around the palace. The suspect, a 26-year-old man, was

also taken to hospital and arrested on suspicion of grievous polity harm

and assault. During the night he was further arrested under the Terrorism

Act. No members of the public were hurt. The Met's Counter-Terrorism

Command is now investigating. Security remains tight in London for

the bank holiday weekend. A ring of steel is being promised around the

Notting Hill Carnival object people from Barcelona style attack. A

spokeswoman from Buckingham Palace said he did not comment security

issues. -- it would not comment. The most powerful storm to strike

mainland America in more than a decade has made landfall

in the southern state of Texas. Hurricane Harvey has

winds of up to 130 mph. In the early hours of this morning,

President Trump signed a disaster proclamation for the state

after the storm was classified David Willis reports

from Washington. Harvey hit Texas hard overnight,

ringing with it high winds and heavy rain. A category four hurricane.

Capable of causing catastrophic damage. Called the most powerful

storm to hit the US mainland in over a decade. This is going to be a very

major disaster. This is Harvey from above, a malevolent storm system ten

miles wide, capable of doubling up to 40 inches of rain. -- dumping.

Corpus Christi, a city in the eye of the storm, has seen a rush to

evacuate. Fears of a power outage forcing the sickest babies at a

children's hospital to be moved out of the hurricane's path. The

National Weather Service warned a win that could leave homes

uninhabitable for weeks or even months. -- winds. Among those

heeding the local mayor's advice to get out of Dodge, this woman and her

three children. I try to be strong because they don't want my children

to see. They get get and I don't want to have them scared. I have to

be a strong mother for that will stop briefed earlier by his

advisers, President Trump is facing the first national disaster of his

term in office. The lessons of Hurricane Katrina 12 years ago still

serve as an indelible reminder of the political past of

underestimating a weather system such as this. The president urged

Texans to heed calls to evacuate, but with several days of storm force

winds and rain ahead, it is likely many of those who leave may not have

much to come back to. In the next few minutes we will go

live to our correspondent in Corpus Christi, which is one of the coastal

towns in Texas. Millions of travellers taking

to the road and rail network this weekend face disruption

because of major engineering works. The south-east of England will be

badly affected with station closures at Charing Cross, Euston

and Liverpool Street with limited In the north-west of England,

engineering work will affect stations in Manchester, Preston,

Blackpool and Bolton. Our reporter Jenny Kumar

is at King's Cross station for us. It is a day where a lot of people

are going to struggle if they are trying to use the rail network? Yes,

that's right. Here at King's Cross it is fairly quiet at the moment.

The trains are running on time but it is expected to get a lot busier.

High demand is expected on the services from here to Scotland, it

was London Euston is closed today, affecting services from that station

to the Midlands and north to Scotland. Huge engineering work is

happening here. Record numbers of works. It will have an impact across

the UK, as you say. The advice is if you are going to travel check before

you do so and expect delays. You may be wondering why this is happening

now for not well, Network Rail say there's never a good time, but there

are fewer travellers who travel in August and in the long run there

will be long-term benefits for passengers. Thanks very much for the

moment. North Korea has fired three

short-range ballistic missiles, Two of the missiles

failed in flight. The third blew up almost immediately

after it was launched. The latest firings come

during a joint US-South Korea military exercise, which has been

strongly criticised by Pyongyang. The final countdown has begun

in what is expected to be the most watched pay-per-view

boxing match ever. At the pre-fight weigh-in

for the much-hyped contest, mixed martial arts star

Conor McGregor vowed to knock out From Las Vegas, here's our sports

news correspondent Richard Conway. The hype has been unrelenting and

while the final face-off for this mega- fight was another spectacle,

it is clear Conor McGregor and Floyd Mayweather Jr have captured the

imagination and the wallets of many boxing fans. Now, with the

formalities over, Conor McGregor is focused on the task ahead. Let's go,

let's see who can take it. He's over there twiddling his thumbs,

twitching away. I see a man afraid, that's it. The buildup has been

controversial and there are questions over a contest state

primarily for financial reasons. The man who describes himself as TBE,

the best ever, is expecting his payday to be swift. Irish fans have

flocked to Las Vegas in recent days and the celebrations will likely

continue for several more night if McGregor can pull off a shock win.

The world is going to explode if he does. It will be mad if he wins. If

he does it, what's the party going to be like? Insane. We will sleep

somewhere outside at the front! But Floyd Mayweather's father, who

taught him how the box, says McGregor's lack of experience will

see him fade. He will throw a lot of punches, this a lot and if he gets

tired then, like! -- whack! When ConAgra Brega turns to this arena it

will be the face Floyd Mayweather. -- Conor McGregor.

You get a real sense of the hype and atmosphere.

It will be insane and we will have the result by the time you wake up

tomorrow morning. England are set to take

on New Zealand in the women's rugby The Red Roses will attempt

to defend their title against the Black Ferns,

who have never lost a World Cup The sides last met in June

when England scored five tries to win 29-21 and end a five-game

winning streak for the Kiwis. The 22nd Air Guitar World

Championships have been 15 air guitarists from around

the world competed in But the title went again

to the reigning champion, Matt 'Aristotle' Burns from the USA,

who you can see here. That's what it takes to be a

champion air guitarist. He collected the prize

of a real electric guitar The competition aims to promote

world peace. Did you know that? All of the finalists were invited on

stage at the end, together. It is something that is so odd.

Charlie will do some David Carr for you later.

We think they can play real guitar? -- air guitar.

If you can, I don't think you should be allowed in the competition!

That have a look at some of the papers. The main story in the Daily

Telegraph, this is one of our main stories, the Palace in lockdown

after this knife attack. A man has been arrested. Very close to

Buckingham Palace last night. The front page of the Mail. This is

the headline. What this is an interpretation of some guidance

given by the second-in-command at the Met Police in London. What they

are saying is they have to prioritise what they describe as

vulnerable people, vulnerable callers, to their service. He says

that includes people with learning difficulties, the elderly and also

people who have English as their second language.

The front page of the Express. They are often interested in whether

stories. The bank holiday weekend. They are saying it will get quite

warm across the weekend, which is good.

That is coming up in a couple of moments. You will see this on the

front and back pages this morning. Floyd Mayweather and McGregor. All

of the buildup and hype already happening and, as I mentioned, we

will be bringing you the results of that and all of the highlights and

lowlights. Do you want to go to the back page? You will see it. The $1

billion super fight is what they call it. If McGregor wins it will be

the end of boxing. I think it is the boxing purist who are most offended

by the idea of this fight. Yeah, any thoughts you have on that...

For AM, isn't it? Yes, for -- 4am, UK time.

We will be speaking to the Radio 5 Live commentary team who are already

in Las Vegas late in the programme, to get their expert analysis. It's

sort of showbiz rather than sport. It's an event.

Self driving cars are said to be the future, but there are still a lot of

unanswered questions surrounding them. If the vehicle was involved in

an accident, who would be responsible? The driver or computer?

Insurers are trying to find out by deliberately crashing driverless

vehicles. Here is our transport correspondent.

On a military base in Switzerland, important tests are going on. One of

the world's big as the insurance companies is deliberately crashing

cars. -- biggest. For the first time, they're simulating what

driverless vehicles might do when things go wrong. Like if the

computer was hacked so the brakes don't work. Well, this car is

obviously a complete write-off. You can really smell that the airbags

have gone. But all of the censors are now full of data, telling us

what the car did, what happened to the driver and all of that

information will be used to determine how much insurance we all

pay in future. Not too many rocks fall in Britain, but it's a problem

in Switzerland. There's not a lot of computer can do about this. So what

are insurers hoping to learn? We want to demonstrate that we can't

have the same accident investigation methods as we had before for

autonomous cars. We need to know whether the driver or the car was in

charge of driving the car. And that's the key question. If a

computer's driving, who is responsible for the crash? I don't

think people need to worry about whose fault it is. The UK has

decided an insurance policy will be required, so people will be

compensated and then insurance companies and motor manufacturers

can argue amongst themselves in the background. They save the real drama

until last. This next episode at giving the computer of moral

dilemma. When an accident is inevitable, as it hit the person on

a quad bike or the person in the car? The bike is causing the

accident, but the rider is more vulnerable. So who should the

computer hit? For this test, they simulate a car, choosing the right.

It's just a dummy, but it's still hard to watch. Computer driven cars

are inevitable and these tests will determine how our insurance will

work. They already predict premiums will go down because computers are

better drivers than humans. That is always what comes up, what

if there is an accident? Who was responsible? Yesterday we had the

stories about Wi-Fi truck. And now for the weather. You will start with

what is going on elsewhere. Yes, Hurricane Harvey. Amazing.

Catastrophic. It was just making landfall in the United States. The

eye of the storm. 130 miles per hour. This is the biggest and

strongest to hit Texas since 1961. 56 years almost. This is Houston.

The biggest storm surge is to the east of the storm. The problem is

that is coming in land. Winds are easing. It will be a hurricane for a

bit yet. It will continue to rain. Huge volumes. We could see as much

as one metre in parts of Texas for the coming days. Imagine it raining

for 14 months but condensing it into 3-4 days. Catastrophic flooding

expected. We are keeping an eye on it. That is what is happening with

Hurricane Harvey in the US. The UK for the weekend. The worst of the

wet weather we will have is just a few showers this weekend. Bank

Holiday for many. Great news for many. Sunshine to come in between

showers. Certainly, today is a better day for western Scotland and

Northern Ireland. One or two showers. Most places dry. Some

showers to the east of Scotland. More cloud in England, especially

southern areas, compared to yesterday. The odd spot of rain this

morning. That should fizzle out. Most places dry. Feeling pleasantly

warm. 24- 25 in the south. High teens further north. Looking good,

not just for the day, but the coming days. The second test between

England and the West Indies. And this evening, the big match between

England and New Zealand in the Women's World Cup rugby final at

Belfast. It will be dry with a bit of sunshine. This evening. Fine.

Light winds. Put unclear. A little bit cooler than last night. Mist and

fog. Later on, cloud pushing in the western Scotland with patchy rain.

Most will be dry. That sets us up for not a bad Sunday at all. Not

completely blue skies. Patchy and light rain returning to Scotland.

Light show and Northern Ireland. Sunday, a dry day. Pleasantly warm.

It could creep up further into Monday. Bank Holiday. In Scotland we

will see a weather front pushing with wet and windy weather through

the day. That increases in Northern Ireland. A dry and reasonably sunny

start. The sunniest on Monday will be to the south. Temperatures could

reach 27 - 28 degrees. UK wide temperatures, if not average,

certainly above. The Bank Holiday, overall, not too bad. Finally, some

August weather. Now it's time for the Film Review

with Mark Kermode and Julian Hello and welcome to

the Film Review on BBC News. To take us through this week's

cinema releases is Mark Kermode. We have Detroit, which is

the new movie by Kathryn Bigelow. We have Logan Lucky,

which I keep wanting to call Lucky Logan because it looks

like the look words should be And Tom Cruise is back doing

what he does best in American Made. I'm glad you've got a Logan Lucky

issue because I have as well. Detroit, I've seen many

rave reviews already. I'm a big fan of Kathryn Bigelow

who won an Oscar for The Hurt Locker The film is set in 1967

in the Detroit riots, it begins with a broad canvas

and the film slowly focuses At the beginning, a speak easy

is raided, rioting breaks out, the state troopers and national

guardsmen are sent in, We then follow a particular

character played by a musician who is denied his moment

in the spotlight because the riot He takes refuge

in the Algiers Motel. The police then discend

on the motel where they believe The police are led by a character

called Krause played Who is described by writer Mark Boal

as a character who is inspired by the recorded deeds

of a Detroit policeman, although he is a

fictional character. Meanwhile John Boyega

who is such a brilliant actor, is a security guard who finds

himself in the middle He's somebody who is distrusted

by both sides and attempts to make I'm with United Security,

I'm guarding that grocery store Hey, all things considered,

this is pretty good. You can see from the clip the film

is shot with that very, sort of, distinctive

documentary-like style. Barry Ackroyd is a brilliant

cinematographer. He's done what Bigelow

has done before. Turning fact and fiction,

working with Mark Boal, turning something into

a drama based on real life The film narrows its focus down

until it gets to a single corridor of the Algiers Motel where this

terrifying interrogation and worse takes place under the auspices

of this cop played by Will Poulter. The thing I like about this is that

Kathryn Bigelow is extremely dextrous and the movie seems to move

through different genres. It starts off as a social document

then moves into something almost a musical at one point,

when it is in the hotel it becomes Some people have taken issue

with this but you remember Kathryn Bigelow directed Near Dark,

which is a vampire Western. I think it's a brilliant

horror movie. And later it becomes

a courtroom drama. I think those shifts

are its strength. Its greatest strength,

beyond the way it's put together, the brilliant editing job

which leads you through it... It's like jostling through a crowd

of people, different stories, different genres, until we're

finally focusing on one central But it's the performances

that carry it. John Boyega is brilliant,

he has a way of telegraphing really strong emotions through the tiniest

of facial expressions. He plays a character which has

a malevolence hidden under It's a tightrope that could easily

fall over into caricature The experience was

thoroughly immersive. It's often terrifying

and Kathryn Bigelow It's an urgent film,

despite it having a period setting, Steven Soderbergh is back

and it's a heist movie. It's described in one moment

of dialogue as Ocean's 7-11. Channing Tatum is the mastermind

behind this plan to rob the Charlotte Motor Speedway

during the Coca Cola 600. He was going to carry out this heist

with his brother Adam Driver. It's a heist caper movie,

so it's an impossible job, But they have figured out a way

to do it with tunnels And getting this guy, Joe Bang,

who is an explosives expert played Looking for all the world

like a beefy Jean-Paul Gauthier. Getting him out of prison to do

the job, then getting him It's written by Rebecca Blunt

who nobody has heard of before, and some people have taken it to be

a nom de plume for the director. But they say no, it's

someone we've heard before. There is a certain amount of satire,

some American flag-waving for Memorial Day, and there's a line

in it one person says, "NASCAR is like America,

you're making us harm America". But the fact is all that satire

is very much like NASCAR, it goes past you and

then we're back. I enjoyed it, it's fun,

it's flippant and flimsy. I have a sense you thought about it

deeply since you saw it. I have to say, after I finished

smiling my way through the movie, I moved to the next

thing pretty swiftly. The fact is, it's not easy to make

a film that is fun and flippant. There are enough bad movies out

there trying to do that. Take us to Tom Cruise

and American Made. The thing that Tom Cruise

does best is flying, wearing aviator shades

and smiling in a way that says, It's inspired by a real life story

and some is true and not true. A TWA pilot, who became a drugs

and arms smuggler claimed to work Ended up providing

evidence for the DEA. He is recruited by a mysterious

shadowy figure played by Donald Gleeson,

who never puts a foot wrong. He says I know you are smuggling

cigars, and you need to work You'd run the company

but after hours you can work for us. So anyone finds out about it,

family, friends, even Lucy. If you're doing it for

the good guys, yeah. But there's a lovely moment

of threat there when Donal Gleeson What then happens is,

he starts off allegedly working for the CIA filming the Communist

insurgents, then gets mixed up with Pablo Escobar,

flying cocaine to the US, The whole thing has

a chaotic momentum. Meanwhile, money is

piling up everywhere. So much so they don't have

anywhere to put it anymore. It reminded me of a lot of films,

things like Air America, The latter is a much more

substantial movie which bears up It has that accelerating pace

of something like Goodfellas, If you think of things

like The Mummy and think, Did I think a character was ever

properly three-dimensional? It's a movie that seems to be based

around an understanding of, there is a thing that

Tom Cruise does. You can like or dislike Tom Cruise,

but there is a thing he does That big slightly crazy smile

and you buy into it. Again, I thought

it was enjoyable fun. Detroit is a movie with such

substance and so much going for it, and in the case of American Made

and Logan Lucky, not Lucky Logan, they are fun but they won't stick

in the mind like Detroit will. One that will stick in the mind

is the one you will pick You need to see it

in IMAX if possible. It is an overwhelming experience,

it's Christopher Nolan. The interesting thing

is, it's very complex. It is three time structures,

one week, one day, one hour. If you have been a fan

of Nolan since Memento, you know he's interested

in travelling time. I've seen it twice now and both

times, the end of the screening, People have literally

been like that. That's a testament

to how powerful it is. But see it on the biggest

screen possible. Florence Pugh is brilliant in this

adaptation of the story. The tale of a woman who refuses

to confirm, refuses to be down-trodden, is vilified

by society as a result of it. That sounds like something only

a film critic would say but believe me, it's the film

you watch with your ears and it's A quick reminder before we go that

you'll find more film news and reviews from across the BBC

online at bbc.co.uk/markkermode. And you can find all our previous

programmes on the BBC iPlayer. Hello, this is Breakfast,

with Charlie Stayt and Rachel Coming up before 7am,

Matt will be here with the weather. But first, a summary of this

morning's main news. A man found with a large blade

in a car outside Buckingham Palace is being questioned

by counter-terror police. Two officers were injured

after tackling the 26-year-old last night and have been praised

for their quick reactions. It is understood that no

members of the Royal Family The most powerful storm to strike

mainland America in more than a decade has made

landfall in Texas. Hurricane Harvey has winds

of up to 130 mph and has Some residents are reported to be

trapped inside collapsed buildings. Tens of thousands of

people have lost power. The emergency services said

it was too dangerous to respond And in a few minutes we'll get

an idea of the full force of the hurricane when we speak

to a correspondent in Corpus The bank holiday getaway could be

more of a headache this weekend as major engineering work begins

on the rail network. The south-east of england will be

most affected with stations closures at Charing Cross, Euston

and Liverpool Street, as well as limited

service from others. In the north-west of England

engineering works will affect Manchester, Preston,

Blackpool and Bolton. The disruption is because of work

involving around 17,000 engineering North Korea has fired three

short-range ballistic missiles, Two of the missiles failed

in flight, the third blew up almost The latest firings come

during a joint US-South Korea military exercise, which has been

strongly criticised by Pyongyang. Nearly ?500,000 will be given

to community projects in England to help develop new technology

to tackle littering. It's hoped the money will go

towards creating new apps and smart bins, which will alert rubbish

collectors when they're full. Smart everything these days. But we

definitely need smarter people to stop throwing litter on the ground.

Smart people would be useful! If someone can develop those. If

someone knows where we can find some...

There are none here. Don't say it out loud!

What have you got for us? It's a fantastic weekend. Something for

everyone this weekend. The World Cup final. Those two gentleman behind

you. No love lost there. It has been

fairly low-key in Las Vegas, if that's possible. But it sort of

exploded overnight. It's the fight everyone is talking about. Good

morning. They have weighed in

overnight for this match up. Most of the talk has been

about whether the Mixed Martial Arts superstar Connor MacGergor can

actually beat the greatest boxer of his generation,

Floyd Mayweather. The purse is eye-watering,

with the final paycheck to be That is expected

to break all records. After a relatively low key

build-up in Las Vegas, but the weigh-in for the junior

heavyweight contest was raucous. Thousands of Irish fans have

travelled to get behind their man. Mayweather at 40 is 11 years older

and has come out of retirement and McGregor has vowed

to knock him out. England won the Women's Cricket

World Cup last month, and this evening in Belfast

the Red Roses play in the Final But standing in the way

are New Zealand, the number one The Black Ferns are four times

champions, beating England in three finals in a row

between 2002 and 2010. England are the champions, though,

which makes tonight's match at the Kingspan Stadium a fitting

climax to the tournament. Pretty excited by the goal we've

been weighted -- been waiting for the so long. We were wanting to get

to this final again and it's been our goal all season. It's finally

here at! The Second Test between England

and the West Indies looks England won by an innings

in the First Test, but were bowled The Windies Shannon Gabriel took

four wickets, including the skipper Joe Root

was dropped early on, but went on to make another

half century before being caught out Ben Stokes was also dropped

a couple of times too, but held the England innings

together with a brilliant century They took one Windies

wicket before the close. The tourists will resume

on 19-1 later this morning. Jimmy said there was a lot on offer

for him. We got a few chances tonight. That was really without

them playing any attacking shots. If anything they were looking to get

through the night. But when tomorrow comes round a few more shots will

get played, overly -- hopefully we get a few more chances.

It's one of the biggest days in the rugby league calendar,

There's lots at stake for one of the most prized pieces

Hull are looking to retain the trophy after a thrilling victory

against Warrington last year, their first Wembley win.

The Warriors are looking to win the Challenge Cup for a 20th time.

I think all of the talk about greatest and Dynasty is, we haven't

built it up like that. We are coming to win a top -- cup final. All of

the plaudits and names will follow us. We are going to win and that's

all. Not overconfident. We have a lot of

respect. But we've had a great trading week this week. The players

are equipped very well and if we do what we practice, we've structured

the game plan, make sure we have a clear head, we have a chance of

getting a trophy but it's going to be a massive one for us.

After the summer break, Formula 1 is back and Lewis Hamilton,

long before he is on two wheels? When they became pregnant, she

announced it by showing a picture of a two wheeler.

No stable lives as! It's all in the genes.

It's all what you do with your legs! Thanks very much.

Around this time every Saturday, Mike Bushell shares his latest

sporting challenge and this week's has to be one of the strangest yet.

Are you familiar with this? Goat yoga?

I'm bracing myself. You would be forgiven

for thinking goats and yoga have I genuinely thought this was going

to be goats doing yoga. This is all about broadening your

horizons. There are so many new ways to practise yoga these days, for

example on a paddle board in Devon. Upper-class here have also been

introduced to an even stranger form down on the farm. We all know how

good yoga is for you, spiritually and for the body. What in Devon,

they do things differently. Hence we are in a barn of straw. They want to

bring out the animal in us. Are they kidding? Connecting with the earth.

Teacher, Donna, has over 70 animal names for her class's yoga positions

but this summer she has been combining animal bonding with yoga

moves by introducing pygmy goats to her classes. We combine all of them

amazing benefits of a standard yoga practice with animal therapy. It's

proven that animal therapy, when you are with animals and stroking

animal, it helps to reduce the stress response within the body and

it also helps to increase the oxytocin and chemicals, happy

hormones. You focus the minds of other things, so you are still doing

the yoga poses but also concentrating on bonding with our

ferry friends. They seem to love it. There is no evidence that the goats

enhance the physical benefits of yoga in any way when they are

treading on your back, they are certainly not trained masseurs, but

they do bring laughter. They like to nibble on my head. Maybe because it

looks like straw! I'm not sure it helps a great deal but it's good for

the concentration because you have to work really hard not to fall over

while they are doing it. It's strangely very relaxing. When the

hooves go into you it's therapeutic, like a massage ball. It's funny and

funny makes you happy. I've done laughing yoga before but you have to

force yourself to laugh. Here, it's hysterical. Goat yoga was first

uttered America by a farmer who claimed the goats were making her

feel better from an autoimmune illness and the consensus here was

that the goats were beneficial and would be invited back every week.

Brilliant. Go to love people, so it's great fun. It could be doing

Pilates or press ups, whatever. We end up in a sleeping dog pose, when

the goats are naturally attracted to us, to come and sleep on us as well.

Gorgeous! I've never known one to be so interactive! Normally use a

runout, but this has been very interactive! -- normally you zone

out. As ever, Mike manages to discover a

sport you didn't know existed. That's sweet! Laughter makes you

happy. We want to get more on a story

developing this morning. In the last few hours Hurricane Harvey has hit

land, bringing winds of up to 130 mph to the coastal Texas. This is

the satellite image. That's the hurricane. You can see the big mass

of swirl over Texas, specifically the coastline, as it moves from the

sea and on to the land. It's happening as we speak.

That's the image from above. Let's see what it looks like on the

ground. They say it's too dangerous for the emergency services in Corpus

Christi. We can go to a CBS reporter who is there. We get a sense

straightaway from looking at you just how severe conditions are.

Describe what it's like. Absolutely. Especially since Harvey made

landfall, the conditions have worsened. The sheets of rain are

just pounding down and frankly the gust of wind makes it difficult to

stay standing sometimes. If you can see these massive palm trees behind

me, about 25 feet tall. At least three of them have toppled over.

We've seen debris flying all over the place, we heard a transformer

blow and that's really just the beginning. Officials do expect

conditions will continue to worsen. We're just trying to make sure that

we are watching for any falling debris. There are actually some

light fixtures here that are dangling in the wind. Yeah, it's not

safe situation for people. Especially who have decided to

hunker down and see how long they can weather the storm.

We are concerned for your safety. Can you continue? It is really

flying. It is flying. It seems to be coming down. We will keep an eye on

it. But umm... We will leave it there rare moment to check it is

safe for you. -- for a moment. Apologies. Safety comes first. You

can get a sense of the severity of the wind. Many have been evacuated.

But some have remained, as you heard from the brief report. There is a

storm surge that comes after which is of the most concern. And we can

have the most detail is now from Matt. That picture is not telling

the story, I think. There is huge amounts of rainfall. Yes. The wind

and storm surge. 130 miles per hour. The strongest to hit Texas since

1961. As the storm goes inland, rainfall. Jews anywhere in the UK.

Imagine all of the year's rainfall falling in three days.

Back to the UK. A different story. We will have a little bit of rain

this weekend. Nowhere near it the amounts they will have. For those of

you on a Bank Holiday weekend, it is a good one. Some rain in central and

southern parts of England and Wales. Not as sunny as yesterday. To the

east, one or two showers. Eastern Scotland has the heaviest showers.

Even though the showers and the forecasts, the vast majority will

not get them. Staying dry, sunny spells. Temperatures similar to

yesterday. A bit more cloud. A weekend of festivals. It stays dry

until late on Monday when rain will arrive. Then it will get hotter and

hotter. 27. It is good outside. Variable cloud. Some showers in

eastern Scotland which will fade away gradually. Tonight. Mist and

fog Thatchers. Temperatures could get down to single figures. It could

get into the teens. A reasonably sunny Sunday. Sunshine breaking

through for most. A few splashes of rain. The odd shower in Northern

Ireland later on. Temperatures if anything are higher than today. 25-

26. That is good for the Notting Hill Carnival. A brief Clinton to

the Bank Holiday Monday. Slightly warmer. To the north and west.

Weather front approaching. A change back to something more windy and

wet. A gradual process. The heaviest rain in western Scotland. The cloud

into England and Wales later on. Impact in temperatures. Around where

it should this time of year. Increased amounts of blue sky and

pretty warm. 28 degrees is possible. Back to you. Thankfully more benign

weather conditions compared to Texas. Our colleagues in Texas say

that our reporter is safe. We were concerned about her safety. Thank

you for joining us again that he can you pick up where you left off and

tell us about the numbers of people who have left and concerns about

safety over there? Sure. Right now, state officials do not have hard

numbers for how many people evacuated the area. There were seven

coastal counties in low-lying areas with mandatory evacuations. That

happened already on Thursday evening and into Friday. Many people in the

other areas chose to stay. They did not want to abandon their homes and

belongings. They were worried about transporting children and pets to

another location. So they decided to stay here. This is what they are

faced with. Frankly, I don't think anyone expected this storm to get

this bad. It only became a category four hurricane on Friday. Even a

three was a surprise. Making landfall as a four will come as a

shock for many people waking up to see the damage. I can tell you they

are not getting much sleep because the building even where we are is a

little bit. We were inside. People in the homes will be frightened to

experience such a devastating storm. We have been told some 30 inches of

rain may be falling over the next 24 hours or so. And then a real concern

about the possibility of a storm surge and flooding. Exactly. You

know, that is what officials are so concerned. It is a collection of

issues, winds, storms, and Harvey will hang out and dump up to three

feet of rain in the area. That makes for flooding concerns and downed

trees and powerlines. All of the worst things of a storm coming

together to make this historical people. This is just the beginning.

We will see what the flooding looks like in major cities like Euston for

example which is already bracing for a lot of water. -- Houston. There

have been question marks about how much time they had to react when it

was clear how severe this weather would be. Yeah, you know, a lot of

people were very stubborn, and they said they did not think it was going

to be so bad. Even a week ago, we were anticipating a tropical storm.

And now here we are in the middle of a massive hurricane. People had

time, they did leave, we saw a lot of people leaving. We saw miles and

miles of people trying to live down. Other people again decided not to go

that rout. -- trying to leave town. It is a gamble. Some have decided to

stay in their homes. Perhaps they do not have enough supplies. All the

shops are closing down of the businesses are closed. Officials

told people, look, if we can get to you in case of emergency, we will

try. But if we cannot, if it is too dangerous for us, we will not make

it to you. Thank you so much for your time this morning. You and your

crew, stay safe, we will speak to you later on. Just a couple of

things they have had to think about. There are only so many ways to

prepare for something like this. They have had to move premature

babies from the hospital because of power failure concerns. Alligators

have been displaced as they go to higher ground due to the quantity of

water. They have to think about many things. The weather over here is a

little bit more mild and gentle for us. The Bank Holiday gets under way.

You might consider getting a tent and surrounding yourself with

nothing but spectacular countryside. Wild camping is becoming

increasingly popular with people looking for alternatives to

organised campsites. It seems not all are at one with nature, due to

increased rubbish. Wild camping is about getting closer

to nature and getting away from Soudelor Seshan. Getting away from

Soudelor -- civilisation. Responsible wild campers like these

make sure they are discreet, do not cause damage, and take everything

home with them when they leave is it is traditionally something done on

the high heels. New audiences have come aware of wild camping and are

treating it in a different manner. There seems to be a more disposable

culture coming into what people perceive to be wild camping. That is

now coming within 500 metres of car parks and carrying inasmuch as they

need. And as for taking everything home, this is what National Trust

ranges are finding. This ranger is spending more and more of his time

chasing off and cleaning up after clueless campers. We have pulled out

countless tents and inflatable mattresses, batteries... So, this is

evidence of the remains of a fire site. It is quite often the soot of

remnants that we will come across. We have had experiences where we

have taken trailer loads of rubbish out. It has become a place for

festival-goers to abandon tents and camping clutter at the end knowing

someone would clean it up. But this is not a festival site. The National

Trust saviour not tried to stop all camping in its traditional forms. --

say they are. They are distracted the responsible. If you want to find

out how, go to the website. There will be extra police on duty

at the Manchester Pride event. Following the bombing in May,

security will be increased. Police say there is no evidence of any

specific threat. Well before the official start of

Manchester pride, the party was in full swing. Day, last in, bisexual,

and transgender people from all over Europe getting together to celebrate

two they are. -- gay, lesbian. 50 years ago this would not be allowed

so it is a great way to celebrate this. Everyone has different issues

through the year. It is one chance to relax a bit. It's all we want to

talk about to be if you want to do Pride, it has to be Manchester

Pride. The organiser is promising a four-day feast of fun. It is a

fantastic feast of fun. Events like these are key to show we can stay

together to work towards eradicating discrimination. There is a serious

side to the Pride this year. Police say there is no evidence of a

terrorist threat to the community or Greater Manchester, but after the

attack in May and more recent atrocities in Europe, they have

reviewed security. We will look at a number of security measures around

the site. There are events across the Bank Holiday weekend, ending in

a candlelit vigil on Monday night to remember those lost to the HIV

virus. BBC News, Manchester. That is Manchester this weekend. We

will look at the Notting Hill Carnival as well. The headlines will

Millions of travellers taking to the road and rail network this

weekend face disruption because of major engineering works.

The south east of England will be badly affected with station closures

at Charing Cross, Euston and Liverpool Street.

There will be limited services at other stations.

In the north west of England engineering work will affect

stations in Manchester, Preston, Blackpool and Bolton.

Jenny Kumar is at King's Cross station for us.

It has been quite busy in the last hour. I think people are heeding the

advice and travelling early, avoiding peak periods. The

combination of record levels of engineering works, station works,

more people expected to stay at home rather than go on holiday could

prove a transport headache this weekend. It is expected to be busy

here this weekend, they are expecting more people to travel on

services between here and Scotland. The London Euston station is close,

affecting routes to the Midlands and Scotland. They are expecting high

demand here instead. The Edinburgh festival finishes this weekend as

well. There is a massive engineering project across England, millions of

pounds being spent on that and that will have a massive impact. The

advice is, if you are going to travel, check before you do so and

expect delays. You may be wondering why it is happening now, Network

Rail said there is never an ideal time. If you are thinking of

avoiding the trains and getting in your car, they are warning that a

record 15,000 motorists are expected to hit the roads this weekend.

Conor McGregor, the mixed martial arts star claimed he has never seen

champion boxer, Floyd Mayweather in worse physical shape as the pair

exchanged words at a raucous weigh-in in Las Vegas last night.

Ahead of tonight's clash in what is being billed

as the richest fight of all time let's look at the other reasons it

The clash of two men at the top of their game. Floyd Mayweather has

come out to meet a man making his debut. Conor McGregor is an ultimate

fighting Champion from Ireland. He is 11 years younger than his

opponent. McGregor has had 13 first-round knockout is in USC, but

if he wins, it could be the greatest shock in a -- the history of sport.

He would pass a record of 49 fights without defeat -- Floyd Mayweather

would. There is also a huge payday at stake. The fight is expected to

break the record of 4.6 million pay-per-view viewers.

Let's speak now to Steve Bunce who is in Las Vegas as part

of the 5Live commentary team for tonight's clash.

You are very much looking the part this morning. What is the mood

there? What are the expert saying? The experts are divided. The boxing

experts think it is a mismatch. They think it is a 1-horse race and that

there is no way that Floyd Mayweather could lose. It is even

suggested he won't even get hit. There at 900 mixed martial artists,

and all of those men and women, they think that Conor McGregor has got a

great chance. There is a very divided opinion here in this city.

Whether you think it is pantomime or not, there is always a what if

around that boxing match. Once two men getting the ring, you just don't

know might happen. Yes, we have no idea what is going to happen with

Conor McGregor. The "What if" here is capital letters. I don't think I

have ever looked forward to the opening round quite as much as this,

because we absolutely have no idea how this kung fu and ju-jitsu

expert, we have no idea how McGregor will react once the first bell

sounds. 20,000 people, one referee and an unbeaten opponent. The first

20 seconds, I have never looked forward to an opening round like

this one. How has Conor McGregor have been preparing? You must have

had some expertise? He is a brilliant UFC fighter. Is there a

danger that in the heat of the moment, he might forget what

discipline he is fighting in? Think about this. You might want to close

your eyes. If you were to lash out, and style, and gets disqualified, he

will lose 75% of his guaranteed $1 million. He has prepared in private.

He has done some fairly public spiring which he leaked onto social

media, which he has done in private -- sparring. He is trying to change

the way he fight, from mixed martial arts to boxing. He hired one of the

world's most famous rocks in referees to work in the gym. He did

it, with a bow tie on like a real referee. Even sometimes when it was

just in the bag, this referee would coach him in boxing etiquette,

telling him what he could all couldn't do. We were seeing earlier

that the images of the way in happened overnight. You have seen

many of these over the years, there is a bit of nonsense to do with

this. We saw McGregor are screaming in the face of his opponent. Floyd

Mayweather looking very calm. Can we read anything into those moments?

Absolutely not. That is what Mayweather does. Weighing in before

a fight, in his underpants, he has had it before. Ten years ago, there

were about 12,000 Brits swearing at him. The majority of the crowd, you

can see the building over my right shoulder, most of those people were

Irish fans. Did Conor McGregor lose his cool? Definitely. I don't think

we can read too much into the way in. Before the way in, there were

some telling shot. Conor McGregor got some great cheers ringing out.

He looked to me like he was suddenly realising that, oh, gosh, I'm the

style. He looked a little bit nervous. -- star.

What about the atmosphere? Will it make a difference? It might. I was

speaking to someone who will work with me on the show. He said don't

expect 19,000 Irish fans. The tickets are simply too expensive.

Half of the arena will be people coming from the casinos. And then

another quarter in the box. Then the Irish. They wheel outsing anybody,

sure, they always do, but they won't be as intimidating as they were at

the way in. There is only the two in the ring and the ref, none of the

fans. You will be in the commentary box. Will you be wearing the

Hawaiian shirt? For this fight, I can exclusively reveal this, I have

acquired a brand-new shirt sent to me from Honolulu. It has coconut

husk buttons. Don't am I wife, it cost nearly $300. -- don't tell my

wife. I will be wearing an exclusively. We go live at four

o'clock. It is radio. You can wear whatever you want on radio. Thank

you so much. My pleasure. I will speak to you soon. You will get no

better commentary anywhere for that fight. That is the information. The

buildup starts at half past three. The fight started four o'clock this

morning. It will be huge. We have a lot of fun but it is dangerous. You

can give some thoughts this morning. Let us know. I want to know if

anyone thinks Colin McGregor stands a chance at all, if you are on his

side. You can tweet or e-mail. And now for the weather. We have been

keeping an eye on taxes. We saw this morning what it looks like on the

grounds that the -- Texas. We will start with the satellite image

behind me. Stunning. But a terrifying image. A Category 4

storm. This is the centre. The winds have wrapped around it. 130 miles

per hour. Areas in its path will get two separate punches. Winds and

rain. A storm surge at the moment as well. Ones that comes in, the winds

will ease, but the rain will be devastating. It is in shifting on.

It is staying in the same areas. 14 months of rainfall in Birmingham,

imagine that, squeezed into three days. That is why we will see

catastrophic flooding in Texas. It will go on through the week.

Thankfully, for us, much more quiet. A Bank Holiday weekend. One or two

this weekend. Many will stay completely dry. It will feel warm

under the sun as well. Today is a better day for Scotland and Northern

Ireland compared to yesterday. The heaviest in eastern Scotland today.

Thunder cannot be ruled out. More cloud in southern parts of England

and Wales compared to yesterday producing rain in the Midlands and

East Anglia. Mostly dry into the afternoon. Sunny spells once the

cloud breaks. Looking good for those of those heading to Headingley. A

second test between England and the West Indies taking place. Dry until

late on Monday. This evening, Belfast, the Women's World Cup final

in the rugby. A great day in the weather for you as well. Dry this

evening with clear skies. Mist and fog patches forming the night. Cool

in the countryside. Down to single figures. Double-figure temperatures

for Sunday. Cloud the western Scotland. Isolated showers in the

west of England and Wales to begin with. The vast majority, dry on

Sunday. More sunshine compared to today. Temperatures just a little

bit higher. Crucially, most of you will stay dry. Sunday night. Changes

taking place. Monday, Bank Holiday for most people. Wet weather pushing

into Northern Ireland in Scotland. Dry to begin with but turning wet

and windy through the day. A lovely start for the north and west and

Wales. Rain by the evening. That will impact temperatures for the

north of the UK. 18 degrees is not bad for this time of year. Further

south, increased sunshine. We could see temperatures on Monday, Bank

Holiday, across England, peaking at 28. That will be in the south-east.

Thank you. Around 700,000 people in the UK

are on the autism spectrum. Getting a formal diagnosis can

sometimes be difficult. That was the experience

of Patrick Samuel, who was diagnosed Prior to that, he self-harmed

and once had to be driven home by the police following

a violent outburst. Since his diagnosis,

he says his life has been turned It saved my life. There is no other

way to put it than that. Without art, I would not be here today. The

life I had before art, I was incredibly frustrated, angry,

depressed. I became non-verbal. I was not talking about my problems,

the things that were troubling me of the incidents that were occurring

quite frequently, the meltdowns, the self injury. My carer put an A3 pad

in front of me and said draw. Every day for years I have painted as a

form of therapy. My first drawing is one that I am fond of. It means a

lot to me. A self-portrait with half of my face being normal and the

other half being skill -- skeletal. That is how I felt, useless and

dead. Now I feel like I have paint in my veins. It is how I breathe and

live. It was a very long flight to get my diagnosis. It costs a lot for

the local CCG, the clinical commissioning group, to find it. I

remember the psychiatrists putting a box of tissues in front of me. I sat

there with a huge grin on my face because I felt vindicated. Stories

like mine sadly are very, very common. A diagnosis up to a lot of

services and support that can help you. As for the label of the

syndrome, I wear it proudly because it explains a lot of know I am and

why I am the way I am. I have never had an experience like that before

of seeing my work on display and people actually stopping, looking,

and that is when they would talk to me as well. I hope that my work and

the story that hotel my work inspires and motivates others who

are looking for a way to express themselves. --I tell. Stunning

pictures. Thank you to him for sharing his story.

To discuss the value of art therapy for people on the autism spectrum

we are joined by Tom Purser from the National Autistic Society.

Thank you very much for being with us this morning. It is hard to

believe he did no art before his diagnosis and then explored it

through art therapy. All of that talent laid untouched for so many

years. That is correct. Think about what stopped him, experiences of

meltdowns in public, self injury, anger. He was struggling to process

the world around him. He found it quite overwhelming. Many have told

us that is there experience of finding a world overwhelming and

getting in the way of what they want to do. Very moving hearing him

explain his own condition and how he looks at himself. The issue of

diagnosis was one of the ones he highlighted, how important it is to

get it so that you can make the next steps. It is important. Yes. We have

autism crisis in this country. It took him years to access that

diagnosis. He needed help from his MP to actually get that. That story

is too common. People tell us they are awaiting years. Research has

shown adults are waiting up to two and a half years to get help and

even five years from first raising that. Why is it happening? In the

last 10- 15 years we have seen an awareness increase regarding autism.

Since 2009, adult diagnostic services appeared for the first

time. They have been overwhelmed. Unfortunately they do not keep data

over who was waiting for diagnosis and how long they are waiting for.

There is no national picture of how much investment needs to go into

these services. Some adult individuals might be concerned about

getting a diagnosis. You can see the relief, the pride, and his ability

to understand the world that he gained. It was critical for him. It

won't be the right method for everyone, though. That is correct.

He clearly had a transformative effect from art on his life. For

other autistic people, it can be finding a way to process the world

around them, whether it is art, whether it is other things that they

want like trampolining, music, horse riding, anything that gives them joy

and focus in life can have that same effect. I think it is about removing

that experience of getting too much information in public places in

finding a way of unlocking potential in people and talent that is

important. What has been the experience in your own family? It

affected you. I have a 15-year-old son, Charlie, diagnosed at age two.

He draws incessantly and is a great artist as well. It is that attention

to detail that makes him a good artist. You don't have to be great

either. You don't need to be a savant to justify exploring these

creative outlet. Not at all. It is about using creativity in whatever

form to find joy in life. Thank you so much. Stay with us. Headlines

coming up next. Hello, this is Breakfast

with Charlie Stayt and Rachel Coming up before eight,

Matt will have the weather. But first, a summary of this

morning's main news. The most powerful storm to strike

mainland America in more than a decade has made

landfall in Texas. Hurricane Harvey has winds of up

to 130 miles per hour and has Some residents are reported to be

trapped inside collapsed buildings. Tens of thousands of

people have lost power. The emergency services said

it was too dangerous to respond Earlier we spoke to the CBS News

reporter Weijia Jiang who is in Corpus Christi

where residents were advised to evacuate as Hurricane

Harvey approached. Right now, state officials don't

have any hard numbers for how many people have evacuated the area. But

there were seven coastal areas that had mandatorily evacuations. That

happened already on Thursday evening and into Friday. Many people in the

other areas chose to stay in the path of Hurricane Harvey. They

didn't want to abandon their homes or they were worried about

transporting their children. Frankly, I don't think anyone

expected this storm to get this bad. It only became a category four

hurricane aimed on Friday, even a category three was a surprise. So

people will be waking up very shocked to see the damage. The

building where we are is shaking, so I can imagine people inside their

homes are very frightened and then made not be able to sleep -- on

Friday. You have the winds, you have the storm surge plus Haavi is

expected to just hang out in the area and dump a tremendous amount of

Maine, up to three feet -- rain. There are flooding concerns, there

are trees down, power lines down, all the worse things of a bad storm

coming together to make this quite historic. This is just the

beginning. We are not going to understand the devastation for days

to come, once we see all the flooding here and in major cities

such as Houston. They are already bracing for a lot of water. Since we

spoke to her, conditions have worsened significantly. We are not

able to go to our live correspondence because the

conditions are so bad, but we will keep you updated.

We are full of sports news today, actually. This isn't happening

tonight... It is happening, finally. It has been in the making for

months, years even. There is no title on the line. You had a great

chat in the last 20 minutes. But it is all about selling? Yes, if Floyd

Mayweather remains undefeated, will it still count? Will the boxing

purists regard this as a wind? It is sanctioned by the boxing regulators,

this is where the debate is. Can Conor McGregor actually box? It will

be his first fight. Has Floyd Mayweather still got it? He is a lot

older. This belt says it all, it is actually cold the money belt. Here's

a few years younger than you. The thing around this fight, even if you

take it has a bit of a pantomime or whatever, there is still a big

question. Before we get into it, everyone is underestimating the

Irish spirit. They have amazing spirit in warfare. I felt it. I

believe with you. They have weighed in overnight

for the fight that everyone is talking about, and most

of the talk has been about whether the Mixed Martial Arts

superstar Connor McGregor can actually beat the greatest

boxer of his generation, The purse is eye-watering,

with the final paycheck to be That is expected

to break all records. After a relatively low key

build-up in Las Vegas, the weigh-in, for the junior

heavyweight contest, was raucous. Thousands of Irish fans have

travelled to get behind their man. Mayweather at 40 is 11 years older

and has come out of retirement and McGregor has vowed

to knock him out. That's the worst shape I've ever

seen him. He looks blown out of shape. Trust me on that. There was a

lot of talk about you having trouble making weight, but you did not? I am

a professional, it is sacrificed, dedication, focus. I make it. I am

in peak physical condition. As everyone can tell, I am ready. Dark

my words. I just want to thank the fans. I am not really worried about

the scale, all the last time. This will be Conor McGregor's last fight.

We will see that fight live. England won the Women's Cricket

World Cup last month, this evening in Belfast

are New Zealand, the number one The Black Ferns are four time

champions and beat England in three finals in a row

between 2002 and 2010. England are champions though,

which makes tonight's match at the Kingspan Stadium a fitting

climax to the tournament. Yes, I am pretty excited by the goal

that we have waited for for so long. The ambition for three years. To get

this far north going, it has been our goal all season. It is finally

here. It's a big day in Ruby League

in the challenge. 23 winds between them. Hull -- have beaten Wigan

twice. It is going to be an absolute cracker. Hull were seemingly jinxed

at Wembley. They won't have to worry about that now? I think they might

have been... I have lost five far north myself, hull will be free

today. They will be relaxed and looking forward to it. I think we

have got some really big game experience in there, guys who have

won the trophy a number of times. I am really looking forward to getting

out there. The fans are going to come out and make a real spectacle

and a real occasion for the players. Two key players are the captains,

Gareth Bale retires at the end of the year, one of the most respected

players in the world. Sean O'Loughlin, very similar, very

decorated and well respected. That will have a huge bearing on where

the trophy ends up. Yes, it has a huge bearing on a play's career to

do well at Wembley. Wigan's identity as a club has been really tied up in

this? Yes, they have won 19 of the challenge cup trophy before. There

is something about Wembley and Wigan, it just seems to fit. We had

an absolutely magnificent player in his Wigan career. There is a lot of

history here, a lot of great things working in Wigan's says. It is an

intriguing far north. Two teams on the top of the game, there will both

be looking to get some silverware. Yes, it should be an intriguing far

north. It will be across -- You can watch the

update. I have a Bank Holiday weekend forecast with more dry

weather than wet weather. Sunshine breaking through a lot of cloud for

some of you. It will produce the odd bit of rain. Eastern part of

Scotland, cloud producing rain. That will gradually break up. Sunny

spells into the afternoon. Temperatures lifting into the low

20s. That is good for those going to the Leeds and Redding Festivals.

They are getting hotter by Sunday. A fine evening tonight. Clout in

southern areas will gradually start to break up. -- cloud. The odd

shower in southern and western areas overnight. Cloud thickening up in

Scotland. Fog patches for Sunday morning. A dry and bright start for

many. Sunshine in areas compared to today. The odd spot of rain in

Scotland. For most, a dry Sunday. Very pleasant. Warm in the sunshine.

Light winds further south. The Notting Hill Carnival and Leeds

Carnival this weekend. Both staying dry, but Notting Hill being hotter.

28 in the sunshine. The Bank Holiday for many of you. Not in Scotland.

They will see the wettest and windiest weather on Monday. Rain

pushing from the west. Winds as well. That will go through Northern

Ireland as well be increasing in northern and western England and

Wales after a sunny start. Not rising too much. The further south

and east, the sunniest. Can you believe it, a bank levy Monday for

some. We will see the best conditions so far -- Bank Holiday

Monday. Not too bad at all. That is it to be I will have another update

on half an hour. That has gone up a degree since earlier. You have done

well. It could be really hot soon. We will have the headlines at eight

o'clock. And now it is time for The Travel Show.

So we're going to be diving on an archaeological site?

We're swimming back to the Bronze Age in Macedonia.

You see all walks of life coming in to get a tattoo,

We're making a lasting mark in Singapore.

It's art, and it's beautiful art at that.

First this week, we're visiting this small country with a big history

and sites stating all the way back to the Bronze Age.

People there are hoping that ancient past will pull in today's tourists.

We sent Amanda Ruggieri to Lake Ohrid in Macedonia to find out more.

This mostly rural country has drawn people and empires

The ancient Persians conquered this area,

So I arrived into Macedonia late last night.

It is a landlocked little country in the Balkans,

so I drove 3.5 hours through mountains and forests.

But I didn't see a single body of water.

Until I drove over a hill and found myself here at Lake Ohrid,

one of the most beautiful lakes I think I've ever seen.

Even the town of Ohrid even was a town at the time that

King Alexander the Great was king in the fourth century BC.

That ancient history is one of the main reasons

Most of the tourists want to experience the engine thing,

What about as a local, as a Macedonian, what does

The history, I actually love the history.

In the same time I'm feeling so proud about my history.

I've got a sense of this lake's extraordinary

But to really go in search of Lake Ohrid's ancient roots,

So we're going to be diving on an archaeological site?

So it's not just your normal typical everyday dive,

it's like something more on top of that.

Including a lot of interesting artefacts and objects which are more

We don't have to go far to find traces of Ohrid's

With the water so still and clear, diving here is so relaxing,

but I almost swim right by without even noticing

But when I look, I see they look like the stumps of trees.

These are wooden pylons that in a stroke of Bronze Age ingenuity,

once held up houses built on a platforms over the water.

In fact, archaeologists have found 6000 remains of these

Jovan also points out some other object and it's obvious they aren't

just the normal debris that you would expect to see

This artefact is probably something used to drink from, all right,

so as you can see there is a really small handle right here,

So judging by this, if you can see...

That's the most perfect little handle!

So, it's kind of interesting to see how they used to do these things.

You think this would have been a cup to drink out of?

As fascinating as it is to discover, and even touch artefacts

from Ohrid's ancient past, it is still difficult to picture

what life would have been like here some 3000 years ago.

This is where this reconstructed Bronze Age settlement comes in.

Called the Bay of the Bones, the settlement has 24 houses built

Lake Ohrid and the area are considered so special,

they even have been listed as a world Heritage site by UNESCO.

And Ohrid has another big draw for visitors around the world, too.

The annual Ohrid summer festival has hosted musicians,

actors and singers from more than 60 different countries.

Our concerts are full and this year we have more than 350 artists

We have 33 concerts, ballet performances,

The venues used for the Ohrid summer festival are all historic sites.

That includes this ancient Roman amphitheatre.

We have this marvellous stage also in the amphitheatre,

Is there is something really special about performing

in an amphitheatre like this or in an 11th century church?

Possibly dating all the way back to the ninth century,

Ohrid's church of Saint Sofia is one of the most important buildings

Today, it's interior is covered with glorious Byzantine frescoes,

painted between the 11th and 13th centuries.

On a night like this, when a pianist is performing

here for the festival, the combination of Ohrid's history,

It is easy to see why locals are hopeful that more and more

visitors will fall in love with this area and its history.

You know, it's rare that a lot of our local tattoo

community comes together, congregated in one area in one spot.

These are very talented individuals and, you know, it's art,

I guess I'm one of the most well-known tattooists in the world.

I've been travelling for about ten years now,

Tattooing is really intimate, because you're dealing with touching

people and it is one-on-one for so long, it's just

It's overwhelming getting a lot of attention, you know what I mean?

This is a very significant event for the tattooing community,

We've come up from an era of back in the day where

tattoos might have had a bit of negative connotation.

There are still a few barriers and the stigma

So doing an event like this is really just trying

The people in Singapore associate tattooing with negativity like being

But now we are opening up, you see all walks of life

coming in to get a tattoo, bankers, lawyers, doctors, you know.

People are opening up to it quite a lot more and I think

We are looking for the quality of work.

The points are given in each individual details.

For example, for colours, we make sure they are bright

For black and grey, of course we're looking at the design,

The individual creation from the artist.

A good tattoo on the individual body, you're not only

going to attract more people looking at you,

you will also help the wearer to have a better self-confidence.

Unfortunately, I have never been satisfied for the things I've done.

As long as my client likes it, they are happy

about it for many years, it is fine with me.

The greatest part of going to conventions is I am able to draw

tattoos all over the world, my name, and a piece of myself,

my soul, and it lives there until the person passes, you know.

And that's it for this week's Travel Show, but coming up next

Carmen begins becoming a journey through Japan.

Tackling the flavours that locals love but visitors might find

A bit like an oyster, really salty but the consistency...

team here in Singapore, it is goodbye.
