from sesame seeds. - Oh, look at that. That's just unctuous, isn't it? - [Narrator] Next a couple of tablespoons of olive oil. - Extra virgin I presume. - I always use extra virgin oil. - [Narrator] The juice of a lemon, a dash of salt and pepper and then blend. - So let's just give that a mix. So, I've part blended the basic hummus down, okay. And now we're gonna add in... - The magic ingredient. - The magic ingredient. Now I would say that we have washed this. - [Jules] As fresh as is possible. - [Narrator] Another quick blend and our wild garlic hummus is ready. - Should we give that a go? - Let's give it a whirl, come on. Wow look at that. Now then. Lovely to think that just a little while ago we picked this from that gorgeous glade. A real taste of early summer, here is to you. - Thank you. - Wow. It's definitely garlicky. Absolutely delicious and I think given us all a good excuse to go out and reconnect with the countryside. Thanks Sabra. - You're welcome. - You are a wonderful show. Well, we've given Mike and nearly plenty of time now to consider all of the options we laid before them options which I think may have helped them perhaps reconsider exactly what it is they are looking for. The morning sun is on my back, they are enjoying a cup of coffee. Let's go and find out what their future holds. Well, good morning guys. - Good morning. - Good morning. - How are you? - Good thank you. - Enjoying this nice morning sun. - Very much so. - I gathered there were some fairly lengthy discussions last night then about the properties we've shown you. Any conclusions? - Initially we wanted to keep the flat, but now we will consider to sell the flat to have a property that actually suits us better. - Wow, so what would the new budget look like? - We can probably go up to maximum around 600,000, we think. - [Jules] Wow, that... - It would change everything. - I can see the sort of style that you've responded to. I just get the sense it needs to be a bit bigger. - Yeah. - Bit more outdoor space and of course, as you've identified that is gonna cost you a bit more money. But lucky you you're in a position to go and fund that. - We touched on a lot over the past couple of days that is absolutely perfect. For example, the first property, the seclusion was amazing I never expected to see anything like that. I mean it was so outta the way of everything. We did like the second property. - Yeah. - The most. - I think the layout works well for us, however, we put all together all the small things that didn't fit as well and at the end, it was a bit too much for us. - We've shown you a lot of this county, which bit of it would you opt to live in? - I think the area of the first property is a great area with a lot of potential so we would like to explore that area a bit more. - So, after this process, you will go forward with a new budget and a new sense of purpose. - Yep. - Guys, it's been a pleasure, good luck. - Same. - Thank you. - Thank you very much. - Well, in many respects I suppose this has been a frustrating week but let's not forget house hunting is not a science it is an art. Every stage of the process informs the next one and that is certainly the story this week as regards Mike and Lili's search for a new home here in Cheshire. However, they now go forward not only with a new vision of what they're after, but importantly, with a new budget. How exciting is that? And they've got this gorgeous property market to choose from. I'll see you next time. - [Narrator] Mike and Lili return to Liverpool and are now in the process of getting their flat ready to sell. They're still very much looking forward to escaping to Cheshire and hope it won't be too long before they're settled there. If you would also like to escape to the country in England, Wales, Scotland or Northern Ireland and need our help, you can apply online at bbc.co.uk/takepart.

>> Peter: this is "world report". Good morning, I am peter cowan in st. John's. This hour in the headache -- this hour in the hague, the international court of justice could order israel to stop it's a fence in rafah. It is just starting its ruling now.

Julia chapman reports. >> Reporter: south africa says that events in gaza have shocks the conscience of humanity. They are calling for israeli troops to withdraw from rafah, where they began an offensive earlier this month. It is also requested that the court over dose order a cease-fire and allow unhindered access for aid workers and journalists. Israeli government spokesperson is defiant. >> No power on earth will stop israel from protecting its citizens, and going after hamas in gaza. We will destroy hamas, we will return peace and security to the people of israel, and to the people of gaza. >> Reporter: israel have called the case unfounded, and south africa's arguments falls and biased. Rulings from the icj are legally binding, but difficult to enforce. But a decision critical of israel could increase its isolation. And it is not the only court scrutinizing israel's actions in gaza. Earlier this week the international criminal court requested arrest warrants for israel's prime minister and defence minister, along with three hamas leaders.

It is important that those adjustments are made well. >> Reporter: why would they senators send this letter now? >> It suggests that some might not like what they heard from blair last week. The next nato summit will be hosted by the americans in washington in july. It also falls to the host to set the tone and in this case it might include more nagging for people not keeping up. It is also an election year and threats to hold canada accountable for not spending more do ebb and flow depending on what washington official is talking.
