But the nations four chief medical officers are urging caution, saying it will only have a marginal impact on the numbers in hospital this winter. So, mass testing is likely to be key to containing the virus. But there are concerns here too, after the rapid turnaround tests used in a pilot in liverpool missed half of all cases. Katherine da costa reports. Council staff here in wolverhampton are preparing to roll out mass testing from monday. Nose and throat swabs are taken but instead of being sent to a lab, lateralflow tests provide results within half an hour. But there is concern they are not as accurate as standard pcr tests, so more people could be told they are negative when they are not. If those people then go out and they visit their grandparents, they stop socially distancing and so on because they believe they havent got covid, thats not going to help, it could actually make it worse. In wolverhampton they hope Rapid Testing will help them move out of tier 3 by detecting those without any symptoms and getting them to isolate. That is what happened following a trial in liverpool last month. The government said mass testing helped towards reducing the rate of infection, but figures from the pilot showed tests missed half of all cases. Health advisers say they still have a value. Weve been very clear that this test finds people that we couldnt otherwise. What we are doing here is were doing case detection. We are not trying to say people do not have the disease if their test is negative. Were trying to say, you do have the disease and now we want you to go and isolate for ten days. Trials of mass testing are being explored across the uk. In england the tests are also being used in schools, care homes and by students before they head home for christmas. Behavioural experts say that could send mixed messages. The problem is that this is being used, for example, with university students, to say if you get a negative result on two occasions, youre all right to travel home. Because this is being done in this way, its communicating that somehow those people are not infectious. They may still be infectious after two such negative test results, so the government urgently needs to explain that this test is for identifying those who are infectious so they can isolate. It is not for reassuring those who test negative. Coronavirus is highly contagious. This new Public Health video has just been released as a reminder that even with mass testing and vaccines on the way, we still need to be vigilant to stop the spread of the virus this winter. Katherine da costa, bbc news. Now on bbc news, the travel show. Hello, coming up on this weeks travel show. From the heart of hollywood. To the shipwreck capital of the world. That was quite literally breathtaking. And from the streets of cuba. Beautiful car, beautiful. Can we go for a drive . To the canadian wilderness. Keep pushing sit back and enjoy some of our favourite adventures in north america. Hello and welcome to the programme. With all this good news about possible vaccines, we are getting so excited that at some point next year we will be able to return to doing what we do best, but in the meantime, here we are, still grounded in london. So this week, we are going to take a look at the vast, diverse continent of north america and starting with a touch of glamour, the time we sent mike to drop in on hollywood. Building work is well under way for a new museum from the team behind the oscars, the academy. They have been busy gathering objects for exhibits to tell the story of the art and also the science of the movies, from old cinematic cameras, to ruby slippers and shirley temples shoes. So, this is definitely from alien, but i see a strap underneath, too. Thats right, this is a headpiece which would have been worn by we think the stunt person for the film. The design came from hr giger, the swiss surrealist artist. What is interesting actually is the actors in the film kept asking to see what the alien would look like and he would not show them, so the reaction that you see on film is their real reaction to seeing him for the first time. It is terrifying it is a little terrifying. All these objects are very cool, but what is the value in keeping it to show people . I think it is really important. A lot of film makers talk now about how they are using the same magic, but just different tools, so that sense of history is very important to film makers and to us and we want to share that with the public. So, basically this is the 19th century moving picture entertainment industry. So there are about 850 photographs in here that work on a rotary system. You put your coin in the slot and then you hand crank the film and then inside you would see the Motion Picture move. First suggested 90 years ago and developed for seven years, at a projected cost of close to 400 million, the museum has had support from the likes of Steven Spielberg and tom hanks. Film is made up of all kinds of other art forms, so i think to understand it, you have to approach it in many different ways, so we have theatres where films can be seen in their original format as they were meant to be seen. We have exhibition spaces on three different floors and project spaces for new work which takes cinema into the future. So the whole thing just flows together. Covering six storeys and 300,000 square feet, the buildings focal point will be its striking rooftop terrace. Well, the building is still under construction. The view, definitely ready to go. Amazing, we are at the top now, we are on the dolby terrace and looking out over hollywood. So it is opening night, the first guests walk in, they have their experience and they leave, what are you hoping they say to each other . The first is that i hope they understand and they talk about film history. Because i feel like it is disappearing a little from our memory and now is the time to really save it, to save the legacy of film for future generations and maybe one of them that is here will be inspired to become a film maker of the future themselves. Well, that is where we left them a couple of years ago. Now, thanks to the power of the internet, im going to speak to bill kramer from the Academy Museum to find out how they have been getting on. Bill, hello. Hey, hows it going . Very well, thank you. Tell us a little bit about how things have changed for you since we visited a couple of years ago. The building is complete and we are i would say about 70 to 80 of the way done with the exhibitions. One of the last things we will be doing soon when we are ready to open is putting the art objects in the exhibitions, but the exhibition spaces are close to being complete. What do you hope that those people who walk through the door take away with them . We want everyone to see themselves reflected in the exhibitions. We want people to have a deeper and more compassionate understanding of film history and how they can and should engage with the artistic medium. We want people to see that this is an art form, an industry for them and we want to show people how diverse and inclusive the industry is and we also want to lean into a lot of things we have not done right. We want to be extremely transparent about past and present behaviour, why the industry has not treated certain groups fairly. We want people to lean into that, to understand that and to know that we are building a new future for cinema together. The only way to do that is not erase but to address. It seems impossible to have any conversation in 2020 and not mention covid i9. Tell me a little bit about the impact of the pandemic on the Academy Museum. We were prepared to open in december this year, but obviously museums in la have not been open since march and they are still not open right now. So last spring, we proactively moved our opening date to late april of 2021 and we are putting all of the protocols and procedures in place that we need to open, to allow us to open, if the pandemic is still in the crisis state it is now. Id better let you get back, it sounds like you are very busy at the moment, bill. Thank you very much for your time. Thank you so much, great speaking with you. Doesnt that sound brilliant . I for one cannot wait to go over and see it for myself. In the meantime, we are heading all the way back to 2015, which was a watershed year in diplomatic relations between cuba and the united states. The us embassy in havana reopened and more americans were allowed in to visit the island. So we thought it was a great time to send rajan along. Classic cars like this were left behind when the rich american playboys left town after the revolution. Now, it looks like they are on their way back. Because relations had thawed between the two countries and vintage cars are a hit amongst tourists who are here already. Julio, you are restoring this 1958 chevrolet bel air car, a lovely car. Can i help . 0k, come on, come on, please. Sit down. At this moment, theyre checking. The window wipers . 0k, at this moment, were checking. 0k, it is perfect. It is incredible actually going inside these old cars. They are beautiful old cars, arent they . Julio was a taxi driver five years ago with his beloved 1955 chevrolet bel air. Now he has taken advantage of government reforms and is a partner in a business that restores and hires out classic vehicles to tourists. This is such a rewarding thing to do and look, it is already really getting cleaner. We havent even started painting yet. The tourists will be very, very important for us, for this business particularly. The Business Brain behind nostalgicars isjulios wife, nidialys. For us, it is very important when he finishes this restoration, to get money for that work. So you do get more money . We live much better. We can travel. We work a lot, but we live better too. Only three in cuba. Only three in the whole of cuba . Yes. Yes, yes. In a country where even a brain surgeon can earn only 30 a month, running a private enterprise like this can be relatively lucrative. It was nidialys who was quick to see the appeal of vintage chevrolets to foreigners. Beautiful car, beautiful. Can we go for a drive . Nidialys was not always a fan of these vintage vehicles. Now she has names for all of them, including herfavourite. At the beginning, i didnt like to drive, but now i love to drive, its very easy and its not very common to see a woman driving this kind of car. Do stick around because still to come in the travel show. Ice canoeing in canada. And we have a whale of a time. In the seas around new york. Thats what you want so dont go away. One of the reasons we feel so lucky to work on the travel show is that you get to witness some pretty incredible things, and this next one definitely ticks that box. New york is a special place for many reasons, but whenjo went there in 2017, it was not the bright lights of manhattan she was looking for. Speeding through the bay gives you a great view of the citys skyline. But im interested in whats under the water. Whales. In the past five years, there has been a surge in the number seen near the city. Its thought they have come here because the Water Quality has improved, which means theres more bait. But catching a glimpse of one can be tricky. Seven different species have been spotted in these waters around new york, including the enormous blue whale. They say that today were most likely to see a humpback whale. Fingers crossed. This is the exact spot we left the whale yesterday. Artie is part of a network of whale trackers. Manhattan has how many millions of people . And i talk to people all the time, they dont even know that there are humpback whales literally 16 miles from the empire state building. Artie has taken some truly amazing photos that showjust how close the whales come to the city. And what is your top tip for taking a photo of a whale . Youve just got to be ready, youve got to always have the camera up and just have the settings right, have everything perfect. You are like this the whole day. I really want to see one youre going to see a whale, its going to be great, im excited for you. We are scouring the horizon for a puff of water called a whale blow. Its a rough, windy day, so its hard to tell whether what im seeing is a whale or the break of a wave. But then. Come on. There is the dorsal there is one here, there it is j0 gasps. Catching a glimpse of a whale is so exciting. Thats two theres two love it. This really is incredible, but it is so tricky to get a shot of the whale. The tail comes up forjust a few seconds and then a moment later, they are about 200 metres away. Whoa yeah, thats the shot, thats what you want. That is the money shot. Now for something completely different. A uniquely canadian experience on the semi frozen rivers of quebec. Brandy shows us a sport that has you racing over, as well as around, great chunks of ice. I have come down to the banks of the riverfor a lesson. Ready to try it . We will practice the transition. What is your best leg . The left or the right . I would say my right. Your right, so you will be on this side, put your left leg inside the boat, and youre right one, have a position. Pushing a canoe over the ice is called scootering and amboise makes the transition look simple. I will prove otherwise. Pushing on the boat. All right 0k. We start from the ice, then in the water, have a seat right there. Have a seat . Yes. You will feel Something Like this. Keep rowing, you are doing great. On top of the scootering, amboise also tells me i will have to watch out for big chunks of ice slamming into my oars. Keep rowing, keep rowing,. Yes. Unclip it, quickly. That is the kind of surprise that sometimes well give you. Are you 0k . Yes. Brandy laughs. We are using specialised equipment and the ice is thick. Laughter. Yeah keep pushing but i cant shake the fear that were going to smash right through the ice into the river. Stop, stop, stop how do you feel right now . I need to sit down. 0k. 0k, amboise i have to ask you, because as soon as we hit the ice, adrenaline shot up and i really got scared. Yeah. So are you sure this is safe . Yes, absolutely. Why . Because the more it is bumpy, the more the ice is thick, the more it is solid. What happens now . Intead of scootering we start rowing, right there. Ok, lets try this. Its not that scary now, i dont want to go in that freezing water, that would be terrifying but now it feels. It feels good. Rowing between the icy banks of the river is beautiful. As soon as we hit a section of ice, we have tojump out for scootering. Scootering back yeah even with spiked shoes to grip the ice, this isnt easy. Matching the rhythm of the rest of the team feels impossible. But the more we jump between the boat and the ice, the more i relax. And actually start to enjoy this icy wonderland. Scootering back to finish up this week, a little slice of paradise. The waters around the stunning island of bermuda. Today, they are very peaceful but back in the day, sailors feared this place and it is sometimes referred to as the World Capital of shipwrecks. Back in 2017, we sent ade along to find out why. Seeing these relics is incredible. But its just a glimpse of what lies on the ocean bed. A team of scientists has begun a project that will document the ships in 3d to reveal more about these wrecks than ever before. This 70 metre vessel, the montana, sunk in 1863. It was used to run supplies to the confederates during the American Civil War and was one of the first ships to be digitally recreated using this cutting edge technology. That was quite literally breathtaking. I cant believe it. It is so close. You just have to snorkel and there you are on top of this massive wreck that has been there for over 100 years. Its huge yeah, its huge. Immense. And you can see so much detail as well. Its just really hypnotic, you see everything and. The boilers, those two large cans for want of a better word, between the two wheels. The steam engine is what drove those engines, one steam engine for each paddle wheel. That propelled that ship forward. They were the fastest ship of their time. These things could do 1a or 15 knots. They were amazing. By using a technique called photogrammetry, the team has been working with the university of california to record thousands of images and build a 3d digital replica of the vessel. It means they will be preserved for generations. And the minute its laid out in that sort of 3d fashion using photogrammetry, suddenly you can see from the stern to the bow and youre just taking the full extent of the ship and it literally brings it back to life. Diving here is a luxury thats out of reach for many people, so the plan is now to map at least 100 of the shipwrecks, meaning that anyone from anywhere in the world will be able to take a digital dive and experience centuries of maritime history. It tells us that everything changes. But actually, what it tells me more than anything is that when you go deep into the history of the shipwrecks and get to the human stories, people really arent very different. You should read the love letters that people write, the sailors on these trips, they write back to their wives, concerns, things they worry about, desires and hopes, it is not that different to today. And i think thats really challenging and kind of enlightening. Ade there, in beautiful bermuda, looking a whole lot warmer than i feel right now. Thats all weve got time for on this weeks look back on our favourite north american adventures. Heres whats coming up next week. Do you know what . Ive got a sneaking sympathy, affection for the bad guy in the pantomime, because the bad guy, i mean, you know, everyone boos and hisses them but they really important. Hang on, hang on a minute its notjust the bad guys that are important in pantos, you know. Its also the good guys and ijust happen to be one of those as well. Join us then if you can. In the meantime, you can stay in touch with us on social media in all the usual places. Until next time from me and the rest of the travel show team here in london, stay safe and bye for now. Well, the chilly weather is here to stay for the next few days. Its not desperately cold but certainly cold enough for some of that snow to still hang around in the hills and the mountains. For most of us, sunday is actually going to be quite a bright day and, yes, a few showers in the forecast. Low pressure is close by so hence there will be a fair bit of cloud in places from the morning onwards. But more significantly we still have that current of cold air coming in and out of the arctic. It is actually fed all the way down towards the western mediterranean. So, this is what it looks like through the early hours of sunday morning, clouds and some showers there across northern parts of england. I think the coldest weather will be early in the morning across many western parts of the uk. Temperatures in rural spots under the clear skies will have dipped down to around minus three degrees. But most towns and cities it will be around freezing or above. So, here is the forecast for sunday. Notice a few showers as they are filtering in through parts of the midlands, maybe one or two showers close to the south coast of england, but for places like belfast, glasgow, much of scotland, actually, lots of sunshine on the way and there will be some sunshine in the south as well, but chilly, temperatures fall to six degrees celsius. And sunday into monday is going to be every bit as nippy as well. Here is thejet stream for monday. We still have that big dip in the jet stream across many parts of western and central europe, and this is the reason for the cold air leaking in from the northern climes. So, this pattern are certainly worse through the first half of the week. In fact, what we are going to see is low pressure forming in the north sea during monday afternoon. Monday afternoon itself is actually looking dry but then it does look as though monday night into tuesday, that weather front is going to roll in and it will produce rain, sleet and snow i think across the hills, probably yorkshire, the southern uplands, into the highlands as well. But in the south of the country, it should stay clear early on tuesday morning. So, lets have a look at the outlook, then, for the next few days. This is the summary. You can see those temperatures are into single figures. There isjust a gradual, gradual rise in those temperatures as we head towards the end of the week there, from four to eight in southampton.
