Taking legal action after losing theirjobs when the travel giant went into liquidation this week. They claim the firm acted unlawfully in the way they were dismissed, and they are seeking compensation. Meanwhile more than 60,000 thomas cook customers have been flown back to the uk. They flew all over the globe for thomas cook, now their world has come crashing down. Jobs gone, livelihoods destroyed. When the airline folded, jo was one of the cabin crew left stranded abroad. When she got home, things went from bad to worse. Im now homeless, my landlord is now demanding i leave the property, so i am having to wait for the local council to see if they can put me in sheltered accommodation. So you cant pay the rent, the landlord has not been sympathetic . No, hes not being sympathetic or compassionate or anything, he just wants me out. Is it here that we sign for the redundancy courses . There is some union help available and thousands of staff are now starting legal action to claim the lost wages. These cabin crew posed for a photo on what would be their last flight. Amongst them, jenna, who was made redundant with Monarch Airlines two years ago and is in the same situation again. Its like reliving the whole nightmare again. Its just brought back all them feelings of losing myjob. It was a sunday night, middle of the night, finding out, waking up my family to tell them that the company that i loved as well had gone. So its just a really difficult time to relive the whole process again. No longer in use by thomas cook, during the summer these check in desks were absolutely buzzing and that is what many of the cabin crew i have spoken to today have said they dont understand. How can it be, they want to know, that when they were working on full plane after full plane their company has gone bust . Many are owed seven weeks pay. Hundreds turned up to Union Meetings at Manchester Airport today, angry and bewildered. I put my uniform on today and as i got to the airport i started to cry because i thought, im coming here in a uniform and ive got nowhere to go. We didnt get a letter through the post. We had a Conference Call on monday. It wasjust dial this numberand listen in. Ill take a few questions. Ok, thats enough now, no more questions. Over and out, phone down. So thats how we found out. They say they put their hearts and souls into thomas cook and with Little Information or remorse this is how the company has repaid them. Now on bbc news, its time for the travel show. Coming up this week, iceland without the ice. 0ur changing climate is affecting the landscape. We get some tips on how to vote glycoprotein new york. Vogue like a pro. And alex ta kes a york. Vogue like a pro. And alex takes a trip up the mast of a very special sailing ship. Hello and welcome to the travel show. This week, we are kicking off in iceland. It is a country famous for its natural beauty. But as cat moh has been finding out, things there are changing. We have all seen it on the covers of magazines, and the footage of nature documentaries. Stunning images of a landscape from which iceland takes its name. But these glaciers are more fragile than they may seem, and they have a story fit for a storyteller. There was an immense crack. The ensuing earthquake was greater than any experienced since man first walked the planet. My name is andre magnusson, i am a writer in iceland, i have written childrens book, plays, Science Fiction and non fiction. We are in an example of what has to happen to our coal fired power stations. I am what has to happen to our coal fired power stations. Iam part what has to happen to our coal fired power stations. I am part of a group who made a creative place out of it. What is your connection to glaciers . My what is your connection to glaciers . My connection to glaciers is both through my grandparents. My grandparents were Founding Partners of the icelandic glacial research society. And they went on a glacial honeymoon in 1956, for three weeks. And they were stuck in a tent in a blizzard, and i asked them when i was a child, when you cold . And they said cold . We werejust married. I thought it meant that you felt warm when you get married. This has been family mythology, a grave grandmother, brave grandmother, ona grandmother, brave grandmother, on a pioneering mission. But if i had written 20 years ago that glaciers would melt in the lifetime ofa glaciers would melt in the lifetime of a single human being, that would have been sci fi at the time. Well, 110w have been sci fi at the time. Well, now it is not sci fi any more. It is just science. Andre, hello. Welcome to my powerstation. Thanks, it is not everyday i get invited to power station. These are your grandparents. Yes, this is iceland . Highest peak, 2119 metres. Grandma is not wearing a coat, is she. Can i help you hang these up . I am choosing what photos i would like to use in my book. I will put this one up use in my book. I will put this one up here. Andre, how does looking at these photos make you feel . They have always made me feel nostalgic, proud, but they are also a sly section of time, the first generation that was able to enjoy glaciers, and we only have three generations that will live that. So then the glaciers will go, and after 300 years, these photos will be totally alien to that generation, especially in iceland. When the ice has left iceland. When the ice has left iceland. Andre wanted to take me somewhere to showjust how quickly the landscape is changing. About 10 of iceland is covered in glaciers. But graciela just now believe that all of icelands glaciers will be gone in just 200 yea rs. We glaciers will be gone in just 200 years. We meet a guide to help navigate us on a long walk high up into the clouds. Here are the colours replacing the flowers. Here are the bulbs replacing the stars, here are the plans replacing the species, here are the freezers replacing the glaciers. This is the eye of the storm, the reason for everything is right here in my cupboard. Tell me about where we are standing right now. We are standing at this mom Memorial Park which is where the glacier used to stand. 50 metres above us, should have been an ice sheet across here, 30 years ago. But that has now completely vanished, and we only have these remains of that ice around us. Five yea rs remains of that ice around us. Five years ago, when 0k glazier was no longer heavy enough to lift itself up longer heavy enough to lift itself up and move, it was declared dead. The amount of ice here has decreased dramatically. Researchers from Rice University in america recently drew attention to the loss. They approached andre to write the inscription for the black, commemorating the dead glacier. Clark. Its a strange situation, because how do you memorise the sky . It is something big, eternal, it pushes you into directions. It points from here to the future, and it points from the future back to us. It points from the future back to us. Will you read me what you wrote . Yes. Here it says a letter to the future. 0k is the first icelandic glacier to lose its status as a glacier. In the next 200 years, all oui glacier. In the next 200 years, all our glaciers are expected to follow the same path. This monument is to acknowledge that we know what is happening, and what needs to be done. 0nly happening, and what needs to be done. Only you know if we did it. August 2019, 415 ppm of c02. Thats the amount of c02 in the atmosphere, and actually the cause of the melted glacier. And that is rising, about 2 three ppm every year. But still, hundreds of glaciers remain here. I left andre and went with my guide to another glazier, the icy tongue of icelands fourth largest glacier, which covers nearly 600 kilometres square. It is also suffering under Global Warming. My also suffering under Global Warming. My guide runs Carbon Neutral tours here. Do you think it is necessarily a thing to encourage tourists to come to places where it might be their last chance to see it . Not just here, but anywhere around the world, isnt that just just here, but anywhere around the world, isnt thatjust making a bad situation even worse . World, isnt thatjust making a bad situation even worse . |j world, isnt thatjust making a bad situation even worse . I think you can situation even worse . I think you ca n always situation even worse . I think you can always question to fly and travel. But if you do, if it is to spain orto travel. But if you do, if it is to spain or to iceland, then at least i think it is good that people are educated about nature, about glacier behaviour and how Global Warming is affecting the glaciers. But step down from the glacier to its lagoon, and how you can find a whole new perspective. You can actually see how quickly the ice is melting, look at all the water just how quickly the ice is melting, look at all the waterjust dripping down into the lake. While a certain amount of meltwater each year is normal, its the rate of loss at glaciers like this that is unsustainable. So how deep is this . Close to the glacier it is about 60 metres deep. Has it changed much in the time you have been coming here . 0h the time you have been coming here . Oh yes, enormously. The lake didnt exist, just recently, it is just ten yea rs exist, just recently, it is just ten years old. This lake is ten years old . Yes, it was starting to form into thousand seven tiny ball, and 110w into thousand seven tiny ball, and now the glacier is melting at 100 metres per year. First i found it really interesting to be living in a land where you could see the changes. But then, when you see it at this scale, it is frightening and at this scale, it is frightening and a bit sad. I have a gift for you. What is the gift . A rare diamond. laughs . A diamond inside, there is trapped air that has been there for hundreds of years. That is incredible. It is so clear, isnt it. Its crazy. The ice may be beautiful, but it is a starc reminder that unless something changes soon, seeing and experiencing icelands iconic glaciers is a privilege that few further generations will have the chance to enjoy. Stay with us, because there is plenty more to come on this weeks programme. Ben is in new york, for evoking lesson. A voguing lesson. And we rejoin alex on the second pa rt and we rejoin alex on the second part of his adventure at sea. This time he leaves his chair behind to get a truly bad idea. Dont go away. Backin get a truly bad idea. Dont go away. Back in the early 90s, madonna had a huge global hit with her single voegele. 30 years on, it looks like voguing is back. So we sent ben hunt to new york to learn some attitude. This one should be good. Voguing has impacted me in so many ways. Before i started, i was voguing has impacted me in so many ways. Before i started, iwas a less confident person than i am now. It has helped me rake out of my shell and be more expressive, not be afraid to be like, boom, this is me. Voguing, a culture and for many, a lifeline. Initially born out of the harlem renaissance in the 1920s, through time, voguing became a form of expression. For sometimes marginalised community. Most were lg bt marginalised community. Most were lgbt and marginalised community. Most were lg bt and people marginalised community. Most were lgbt and people of colour. And houses and families at the centre of the subculture provided a centre of support when the h iv the subculture provided a centre of support when the hiv epidemic hit in the 80s. During balls, members of the different houses came together, to compete against one another. Today, lessons are popping up everywhere and i am off to pick up some moves. Hello. Hey, man, how is it going . We have this voguing class we are going to be doing today. Blade, blade. Pushed like you are pushing through some fudge or sludge, it is heavy. Look at me, i am showing it off. Boom. That is why your hands are here, it is framing that face was not from here, three, four, five. Six, seven, eight. Genes area four, five. Six, seven, eight. Genes are a little bit tight whats a one, Million Dollar question. Really short, this telling your story through poses and movements. Jeans. 0ne, through poses and movements. Jeans. One, two, three foot of the same thing i got which is the love of dance, the love of vogue, i want you to take the love and take it home. Voguing is now more popular than ever before. Hit tv shows like pose and rupauls drag race has pushed it into the spotlight again but i am heading to where it all began, harlem. This is the home of ballroom until about 1988 so it is 80s ballroom. This was our church, it was our political rally, it was oui it was our political rally, it was our worship. It was ourfun, it was oui our worship. It was ourfun, it was our protection. What type of people came here . What brought them together . Trans folks created this. 0nly trans people were participating in drag almost 50 years before or room. People were kicked out of their homes and kicked out of their families because of being lgbt and those kinds of things but also the notion of being kicked out of family is also kicked out of your black family or your latinos family. Sadly, today spaces for lgbt youth are sometimes still rare but Sexual Health charities often host what are known as balls. Predominantly for a Younger Generation of voguers. What does all of this mean . Is there any social medium to it . It is a way of life. Honestly speaking. Because this is something that we naturally do. This is how we party, this is how we come together. This is who we are. Luckily, the rise in popularity of voguing means that balls and classes are all over new york city where anybody is welcome. Back in class, it is time for my big moment. I have learned the key elements of vogue. I am i have learned the key elements of vogue. Iam putting it i have learned the key elements of vogue. I am putting it into a routine which i am going to flop. It is going to be horrific but you know what . It is going to be fine because as long as it is a fashion. In the words of madonna, i was ready to let my words of madonna, i was ready to let d words of madonna, i was ready to let my body moved to the music. But i dont think i will be winning any trophies anytime soon. Take it over. Bohm. Boom. Boom. Boom. And freezer freeze bohm. Boom. Boom. Boom. And freezer freeze 0k, bro, iwouldnt bohm. Boom. Boom. Boom. And freezer freeze 0k, bro, i wouldnt be giving up your dayjob any time 0011. Giving up your dayjob any time soon. You need to work on that. If you were watching last week, you will remember alex setting sail on a ship that invites disabled people and able bodied people to sign up as crew or three orfour and able bodied people to sign up as crew or three or four days. Now they are out on the high seas. Lets see how they get on. How are you feeling . Good, thank you. After a stormy and, a pretty sleepless night at the sea, it is time for breakfast with my mate. It is called happy hour, where everybody works hard, washes and makes everything spick and span except i have lost my team and what i meant to be doing. What i am meant to be doing. Many years ago, we had a young lad come on the lord nelson and he had multiple sclerosis and he didnt get out of the car, he was helped out by his mother and father, popped in a wheelchair and we pulled him up the gangway. After two weeks on here, he walked off the ship with the help of the sticks. Didnt want his chair. And his mother and father couldnt believe it. And that is why we run it. That is why we do what we do. On the final day, the beautiful weather gave me the chance to do something that i have been looking forward to but also secretly dreading, claiming the ships mast. Luckily, i am not going first, though. It is kind of amazing. In fact, going first, though. It is kind of amazing. Infact, it going first, though. It is kind of amazing. In fact, it is mad. Going first, though. It is kind of amazing. Infact, it is mad. 0h, god. For some folk who dont quite get what we do to start with, this is the point where generally they all get it. You know how hard it is, you just did it. Yeah. All get it. You know how hard it is, youjust did it. Yeah. It looks all get it. You know how hard it is, you just did it. Yeah. It looks a lot easier than it is. It is ten times harder. Oh, my god, you are amazing. How do you feel . Great you are amazing. You are definitely going to be the best at this, alex. Because you have seen it. Well, i am glad you have confidence. I feel like i am dancing here. He is not dancing back, i dont think he is interested. Im excited now. I say that now, though, i mean, once i am halfway up, i might change my mind. This is a handle. You are going to have to grip towards you and basically, it slides up the rope but when you pull down, it grips. |j basically, it slides up the rope but when you pull down, it grips. I am stuck. 0h, here we go. Cheering and applause. I cant really explain it. 0nce applause. I cant really explain it. Once you are up there, it is amazing, it is like you are a bird. You can see everything. It is weightless as well you are just free. And i have never had that, ever. And it is really, really high, just to make that point clear. It is very high. But it is very nice. I didnt want to come down, it was beautiful. I will go again now, you guys . Is that all right, yeah . After almost a week at sea, finally land is in sight. 0ur destination, port harbour. We can see land. I miss land quite a bit. 0verall, harbour. We can see land. I miss land quite a bit. Overall, though, it has been amazing. It has been ha rd it has been amazing. It has been hard but it has been worth it. As a person who is in a chair, especially in my case, it is often quite hard to explore. As a kid, i kind of had to explore. As a kid, i kind of had to ask other people and you kind of had to imagine things and that is why i would read books and have ideas. In here, it is quite nice because you actually go on board and you get to do that stuff which is lovely. I have been upper mast which i dont do every day which was actually amazing, really. Up a mast. I never thought actually amazing, really. Up a mast. I never thought i could do that. That is it for this week. Coming up next week. Christer is in greece, tojoin addict next week. Christer is in greece, to join addict and uncovering some historical fines. Check that out if you can but dont forget you can follow us on social media, too. But for now, from me, ade adepitan and all the travel show team, it is goodbye. Hello there. If you are out across the northern half of the uk in the next few hours, and you have clear skies, you may be treated to the northern lights. But it has been a very turbulent end to the week, and it is going to be a rather wet and windy weekend for many of us, and there is growing concern with this next deep area of low pressure now developing, that more rain on already saturated ground, with river levels high, will result in further flooding. As well as that we are going to have some strong winds around this low pressure system coinciding with high tides, because of the new moon, the full moon, so there could be coastal flooding too. A band of rain moves across Northern Ireland, northern england, southern scotland. Any mist and fog to the north will clear away. The showery rain across Northern Areas does tend to ease, the showers or showery rain further south eases away, so a day of sunny spells and showers, probably not as heavy showers today as we saw yesterday, but nevertheless, they are still around, still wet. It should feel pleasant enough, though, with light winds and some sunshine, but as the day progresses, the afternoon progresses we are in for a big change, theres more tropical air tied in with this area of low pressure, so there will be widespread, heavy intense rain, actually some thundery rain in there as well, and strong to Gale Force Winds blowing in that rain and coinciding with high tides. We could have coastal inundation. So really wet and windy through the night as we move into sunday. And that rain is really slow to clear, could be scotland and Northern Ireland escape the worst of the rain, and as the day goes on we change our wind direction and pick up a colder north north westerly, but that will have a sting in its tail, you can see for england and wales, wevejust got more rain re entering around the area of low pressure. So temperature really academic on sunday but feeling colder in the north, and later in the day as the winds switch direction they may have a sting in the tail, we would have strong to Gale Force Winds crossing into wales and later into england and down the north sea coast, potentially corresponding or tying in with high tides here, so well concern ourselves with some coastal flooding here as well late on sunday. So lots to keep our eye on, it certainly looks really unsettled through the weekend. Heavy rain, gales. There are warnings out from the met office, theyre on the website, and those high tides as well. Further afield, were expecting rain for the rugby which continues into the weekend, japan ireland on saturday, potentially having some heavy downpours around here, and for australia and wales, i wouldnt like to rule out downpours either. It is much cooler, though, as we go into the new week back home, as you can see, and it remains unsettled, perhaps a respite in the middle of the week. Bye bye. Good morning.
