it was sailed across the atlantic in 1957, to commemorate the landing of the pilgrims. the mayflower ii has recently come out of the mastic seaport on the eastern coast, after a major -- the domestic seaport on the eastern coast after a major multimillion dollar retrofit. i was able to go over to boston and massachusetts, and traveled to plymouth. i got a fantastic reception from the crew of mayflower ii. and the guys and gals who run plymouth plantation. and without that visit we would not be able to put together the detail that we have. so i spent time on the mayflower ii with a series of 360-degree panoramic cameras, trying to get as much information about the decks as i could. we had one camera in the crows nest to get a nice view of the ship from above. i was taken to plymouth plantation, where they have a fantastic wardrobe. the assets and antiquities they have at this place, as well as plans relating to the original mayflower ii build and design. i came back with more photographs than you can imagine. and we have been using all of these photographs. they even gav

that can be used to try and force more enslaved africans across the atlantic. the shipping industry requires workers. who then can be paid wages which then those wages can be circulated and into the a-list economy that leads to a further frothy economy. and therein you begin to see the takeover of london or englandas a major power . and the african slave trade 1672 is then systematized under the rubric of the royal african company but it to some of the model but what happens with the so-called glorious revolution 1688 is that the merchant class went in on the wealth. they took the claims of the monarch and to this day as you probably know a monarch in england is a kind of figurehead. certainly not willed into the kind of power that words willed in the 1830s and with the opening up of the african slave trade to the merchants, you see the merchants descending upon west africa with maniacal energy, handcuffing and manically after every african insight to draft them across the atlantic and you see the take off of the african slave trade, the takeoff of wealth in lo

reopening the north atlantic will be one of the critical factors for virgin atlantic. when will that happen? shai weiss is the ceo of that business. i caught up with him earlier on to get his take on when that is likely to happen, when the british government and the u.s. government will allow that to happen, and what kind of spending will we see? will it be business, will it be leisure, how much demand is there? shai: nothing has changed the fact that there should be the resumption -- may 17 should be the resumption of international travel at scale, subject to the traffic light system which we welcome. we think it does not go far enough in terms of benefiting letterman's progress of vaccinating. the positions for travel over the summer will continue to materialize. guy: what does this travel look like? how much of it comes back? how does the mix change? i am hearing a lot about -- bfr is a big part of the business for the u.s. carrier at the moment. how you see your exchange -- how do you see your business changing? shai: anyone who says they know will be the emerging

and then right out into the atlantic and on to the americas. the guy that you're seeing here with the rather bouffant hairstyle is our representation of winslow. we decided to put one avatar that was representative of a known character, and winslow, obviously because of my present-day relationship with droitwich, if we ever have the opportunity to go forward, we'll be able to go into places like the captain's cabin, and christopher jones, the captain, get them to explain their stories. william brewster, bradford, the lady who gave birth to oceanus, the one child who was born during the actual transit. and also john harrigan. he was actually a servant of a governor who was on board the ship. he fell overboard during the 66 days crossing the atlantic, but managed, miraculously, to grab a rope and put himself back on board. if he hadn't done that, then george w. bush and george bush would never have existed because they're descendants of harrigan. some of these guys, if we could make these avatars tell their story, how fantastic that would be. so

good to talk to you, thank you- _ stay with us on bbc news, still to come: the pioneer across the atlantic. we'll tell you about autonomous ship which is creating waves with its historicjourney from the uk to the us. nothing, it seemed, was too big to withstand the force of the tornado. the extent of the devastation will lead to renewed calls for government help to build better housing. internationally, there have already been protests. sweden says it received no warning of the accident. indeed, the russians at first denied anything had gone wrong. only when radioactivity levels began to increase outside russia were they forced to admit the accident. for the mujahideen, the mood here is of great celebration. this is the end of a 12—year war for them. they have taken the capital which they have been fighting for for so long. it was 7 o'clock in _ the morning when power began to pass from the minority- to the majority, when africa, after 300 years, reclaimed its last white colony. - this is bbc world news, the latest headlines: there is mounting evidence that india has been under reporting

virgin atlantic 2017 reduced co2 emissions by 20%, and will go another 10%. the second part is where things get complicated in sustainability of fuel. these new planes will be with us in the next 20 years. they are more efficient, but they rely on fuel. fuel happens to be, of course, emitting co2, but also very efficient for the density of energy. the thing with batteries and hydrogen and new technologies will emerge that can make an impact for the next 20 years. i think it is difficult to predict, and i wouldn't rely on it. the number one thing we can do is promote sustainable aviation fuel. while the government has gone far and announced an 18 million pound investment, it is incumbent on the industry, the airlines, the government. this is a great opportunity. just as we are creating for the pandemic, we should be doing the same for sustainable fuel. it is going to take a mammoth effort to do that, and that is the way that we go. virgin atlantic was one of the first to fly a commercial flight in 2018 sustainable aviation fuel with our partners. we need to go

and instead, we look to the atlantic to see cloud increasing from the west, a bit of light rain or drizzle for northern ireland, perhaps into wales as well, but a but a lot of places will be dry. with the cloud coming in over that cold and frosty start, it is going to be another cold day. it won't be as windy, but it's still cold at 7 to 9 degrees. the really cold winds, though, are away from the uk and instead, our weather is starting to come in from the atlantic, so less cold air heading our way. we've got low pressure running to the north of scotland. that will pick up the winds, i think, on thursday for northern areas, thicken the cloud, bringing some patchy rain, especially towards the north—west of scotland. england and wales, good chance it's going to be dry, little bit of sunshine at times. temperatures are going to be a bit higher on thursday. 10 degrees in aberdeen will be a treat. 10 in hull and 12 in london and the home counties. but we've got some rain to move down from the north overnight as that area of low pressure moves away. that weakening weather front moves down into
