we'll start with today's premier league action at anfield where liverpool host southampton. jurgen klopp's fourth—placed side are aiming to keep up their push for a place in next season's champions league. the match kicked off a few minutes ago and it's philippe coutinho has recovered from a dead leg. the match has kicked off and it is goalless. a former premier league champion, a two—time european cup holder or a recent league cup winner. by 2pm this afternoon, one of them will be a league one club. they are blackburn rovers, birmingham city and nottingham forest and they are fighting it out to avoid the drop from the championship. blackburn have a 2—0 lead against brentford. -- 2-1. nottingham forest 3—0 ipswich town. birmingham are currently i—o nottingham forest 3—0 ipswich town. birmingham are currently 1—0 in front of bristol city. so this is how the bottom

of the championship table looks, and if it all stays the same it'll be forest who go down to league i — -- it —— it will be black burn. there are two matches today in the scottish premiership. second placed aberdeen are at hearts later on but they're into the second half at firhill park in the early kick off. partick thistle took the lead midway through the first half through a great headerfrom kris doolan. the jags have won four of their last five league games. rangers, who are third in the table, are trying to close the gap on aberdeen. it's the second one day international between england and ireland. it's the first time ireland have ever played at lord's. they could have to chase a big total. ireland restricted the home side to 64—2. include... let's look

at the exact score. just over... 300 looks impossible. 200—3. scrum half ben youngs has withdrawn from the british and irish lions tour to new zealand. he's staying in england to be with his family after his brother's wife was diagnosed with terminal cancer. scotland's greg laidlaw will replace him. great britain's rowers have won four gold medals in the first meet of the season, the world cup in serbia. it's the start of a new 0lympic cycle building towards toyko 2020 with three 0lympic champions competing in the british squad in belgrade. two of them — mo sbihi and will satch — won gold in the first big race of the day, the men's four. gb have also won gold in the men's pair and the lightweight men's double sculls. —— men's and women's pairs. that's all sport for now. i'll have more in the next hour. now on bbc news, it's time for the travel show. coming up this week on the travel show...

rajan is in jerusalem, the world's holiest city. this is, for christianity, the most important place in the world. quite an incredible experience to be here. we touch down in saint martin for a spot ofjet blasting, and check out a music festival aiming to entice a younger crowd to the caribbean island. and taking the perfect snap? we head to the lake district to capture one of the uk's most photographed landscapes. i want people to see my pictures and think, wow, that's inspiring. but it's something they can see with their own eyes. jerusalem is one of the world capitals of religious tourism. and easter and passover make for its busiest weeks. and a particular hotspot is the church of the holy sepulchre, where some believejesus is buried. rajan got rare access to the newly renovated tomb.

rajan: they calljerusalem the world's holiest city. it's also one of the most conflicted. politics aside, the fact is, jerusalem has monuments that are sacred to three of the world's biggest religions. like the western wall for those of the jewish faith. for muslims, there is the distinctive dome of the rock shrine. then deep in the heart of the old city, through the damascus gate, is christendom's most important church. tucked away on the edge of the muslim and christian quarters, right in the marketplace, is the church of the holy sepulchre. not easy to find. but it's somewhere around here. and look.

tiny little sign. holy sepulchre. and i can hear something happening. singing. now, what's unusual about this church is that it's actually shared by six different christian denominations. to be precise — roman catholics, greek orthodox, armenian 0rthodox, syrians, coptics and ethiopians. this ceremony i've chanced upon is led by the armenian church. they come from all over the world. three and a half million people a year, they reckon, to visit the church of the holy sepulchre. it's a pilgrimage that evokes a response like no other. for us, it's no more, no less

than the holiest place on earth. that's wherejesus died, where he was crucified, where he was risen three days afterwards. so for us that is, i mean, the history of humanity, that is what makes that there is before and after christ. it simply changed the history of humanity. 2,000 years ago, this was an empty plot of land outside the old city walls. now look at it. they may all agree the resurrection of christ took place here, but the truth is that the six different denominations haven't always been ideal housemates in this church. sometimes we didn't agree. there have been fights inside the holy sepulchre, that's for sure. physicalfights? even physicalfights. this may be christianity‘s most important church, but the guy who's got

the key is muslim. adeeb, hi. this is the key to this church? this is the holy key of the holy church. how come you have it and yourfamily have it? they gave our family to be the custodian of the holy sepulchre church, and it's going from father to son. the church had previously been destroyed in the early part of the 11th century by the then ruling caliph. and entrusting it to a muslim family sounded like the safest bet to insure it against future attacks. every morning at liam, adeeb opens the door, then has to return to lock it in the evening. he's not paid for this duty. i'm proud about thisjob, and we are here injerusalem — muslims and christians, we are living together. we are brothers here. disaster has struck twice over the centuries,

with a fire and an earthquake causing extensive damage. and throughout, arguments became very fierce and protracted between the different denominations, as to how and who was going to fix the thing. they could not reach any consensus, any agreement, so in order not to talk, waiting for the restoration of the holy sepulchre, they decided it would remain as it is and let us start the restoration of the rest of the compound. because of all the infighting, it took a long time for all the parties to agree on a restoration plan for the ageing church. and even after that, it's taken 60 years to renovate the shrine. we were lucky enough to be granted a truly rare privilege — to go and film inside the newly renovated burial chamber,

called the edicule. this is where christians believe jesus‘ body was laid to rest after he died on the cross. this is for christianity the most important place in the world. just this little square of two or three metres. exactly at the heart of it all. quite an incredible experience to be here. billions of christians think of this place as the spiritual centre of their universe. the extensive restoration work took nine months, working on the small structure above the tomb. there are two marble slabs over the sepulchre, one exactly covering the bench carved from rock thatjesus is said to be laid on. archaeological proofs are quite consistent to say thatjesus was crucified inside this building.

and laid into the tomb, which is inside also. afterwards, what happened three days afterwards, it belongs to the faith, as we believe he was risen. jesus of nazareth, that he was crucified and laid in the tomb, there is many, many proofs, historical proofs that are showing that. the one side is the conflict, but the other side is the effort to run this place and to be together. and i think that's somehow a miracle. and that's a thought echoed by the many other millions of pilgrims who come here each year, delighted that restoration has finally been achieved and cohabitation of all churches continues.

stay with us because still to come on the travel show, we're in the lake district to capture one of the uk's most photographed landscapes. i like to soak up these landscapes, you know. i like to take in the atmosphere. there is a real sense of wilderness that appeals to me in these places. and we head to the french caribbean for a music festival aiming to help diversify saint martin. during the winter, everybody‘s from, like, up north, and it's cold and they need a place to go. where it's hot. and you cannot beat the island vibe. chances are if i say festival you'll think of glastonbury in the uk or coachella in the us. now a sleepy caribbean nation has decided to get

in on the act in a bid to attract more young people. but does it have what it takes to draw a party crowd? we sent greg mckenzie to find out. st maarten, or saint martin, depending on which part of the island you are on, is the smallest island in the world. to be partitioned between two different nations — a french side and a dutch side. technically, it's two different countries, and attracts more than 2 million visitors every year. its airport, princess juliana international, is truly unique, because on one side you have a public beach, on the other there is a huge mountain range. pilots say it's one of the scariest landings in the world, and it's easy to see why. just ahead their is the a340 that has flown in from paris. the people on there have been

on board for about eight hours and 30 minutes. the landing just behind us, the runway length is about 7,000 feet. traditionally, aircraft of that size need about 8000 feet to land safely. so there is only a tiny margin of error, if any. it's the second busiest airport in the caribbean. and exciting as it is to watch landings from the beach, it's even more thrilling to see aircraft take off. this is what they calljet blasting. in a minute, we're going to all get pushed back. it's already started! whoo! jet blasting is when you stand as close as you can get to an aeroplane taking off, and there are not many places in the world where you would be able to get this close. it became an attraction

just on its own. rolando brison is the director of tourism. he is tasked with making sure visitors have fun and don't injure themselves. in 2012, this jet blasting video went viral. it shows a woman being blown off her feet after losing her grip by deliberately standing in the jet blast of a plane taking off here. fortunately, she didn't suffer any life—changing injuries. but it did prompt authorities to act by erecting more fences to increase the distance between people and jets. we had to take whatever measures we could, and fencing did create at least a little more separation that was necessary, another ten feet of space to try to prevent people getting too close. the security aspect, patrolling during the busy times, to make sure there are not too many people, that we can

keep it under control. the fencing is an important part — there is an international standard for it as well. how far should an aircraft be from on the road? so that fence is there to make sure we abide by those international standards. but it's next to impossible to police this beach 2a hours a day, and it's an activity that still draws hundreds of visitors daily. were you worried it might be dangerous? depending how hard they rev the engines, but the first one wasn't bad. the third one, that was crazy. crazy, crazy. and despite jet blasting being seen as a young but risky sport, the island is trying to appeal to a younger crowd. because the majority of those coming are in their 50s and 60s. st martin is traditionally known as a musical island. you'll find all sorts here from reggae music to samba to calypso.

but a new music festival is aiming to bring something uniquely different to the island. now in its second year, the sxm festival — aptly named after the country's airport code — is hoping to bring a new kind of visitor. millennials for a five—day electronic music extravaganza. with more than 100 top name djs. a lot of the basic roots of what is modern dance culture started in the caribbean — it started with sound system culture injamaica and all of these other places. you know, the guys who bring the massive systems out. they were experimenting with sound. they started experimenting with dubs. this is where remixes came from. so, there is a long history and tradition to kind of electronic music and experimentation in the caribbean. but some locals didn't want an electronic music festival on their shores.

they wanted this little—known island to be the best kept secret and remain exclusive. not everyone was happy, of course, but i think it's because of the style of music. that type of music in general scares people, because people look different, they dress different. so last year that's how it kind of felt. but, i think everyone, all the businesses, realise the importance of having such an event. the festival takes place every march and attracts about 4,000 people. it is the brainchild ofjulian prince, a lifelong dj and music promoterfrom canada, who wanted to create something unique away from the club scene in places like ibiza. ibiza is like the motherland, it's everything. they built this culture. so it's not like we're trying to compete. it's just, honestly, i thought that for the longest time ever nothing was really happening

in north america. i just felt like we should have something like that during the winter. everybody‘s from, like, up north, and it's called them and they need a place to go. where it's hot and, like, you cannot beat the island vibe. and despite this event, still in its infancy, the future looks bright, as organisers are already planning next year's event. and as other festivals around the globe begin to tire, or become too commercial, with the caribbean as its backdrop, music is only part of the reason why sxm has the advantage. greg mckenzie reporting from a very warm—looking st martin. now, to end this week's show, let's head to the north of england and the lake district.

its landscapes have inspired a thousand artists and painters over the centuries. but now we've met a photographer who captures its rugged beauty with a camera. and sometimes he'll go to extraordinary lengths just to get the right shot. my name's terry abraham. i'm a self—taught, independent filmmaker. i've always had an interest in film and video. i've always wanted to be hands—on, outdoors, doing something like that. i love all the british countryside and i think britain's fantastic in the variety, the terrain, the geology, the aesthetic appeal of the landscape that we have in such a small group of islands. i don't think there's anywhere else in the uk like the lake district. every mountain — orfell, as they are known around here — has its own character.

it looks different. they're all individual. and that's the same for the valleys as well, with all the lakes, the stone walls, the beautiful picturesque coastguard cottages picturesque postcard cottages and all that kind of thing. and i can see why, for centuries public, artists, writers have been drawn here, inspired by this landscape. i'm no different. i'm a self—taught filmmaker. i'm born of the digital age, if you like, with the likes of youtube, how it democratised filmmaking. being able to edit videos on a laptop or computer and the technology has developed with smaller professional cameras, has enabled me to go out there and chase a dream of producing

documentaries showcasing these landscapes. i tend to wild camp, which is basically pitching up a tent on the top of a mountain. totally self—reliant — you have your food, you seek your water, because that enables me to be there, ready and prepared, nice and fresh at those special moments. i like to soak up these landscapes, you know. i like to take in the atmosphere. there is a real sense of wilderness that appeals to me in these places. i would often tweet what i'd just taken — you know, the scenes i had been capturing on camera. because i might be filming, but at the same time i'll have a stills camera with me and i'll take a picture and share it on the social media.

i do appreciate that people like to follow the journey that i'm on whilst working on the documentaries. share the sights that i see. that was a good shot, that. i get a bit embarrassed and blush at times with some of the praise that i get for my work. i mean, one of the documentaries has been described as a wordsworthian hymn to nature. though it's nice, getting the audience response, being so positive and overwhelming in that respect, it's about capturing a sort of portrait, a time capsule of these areas that mean so much to me. i don't think there's anything special about the way i go about capturing the shots that i do. any photographer worth their salt

will tell you the best times of day for capturing a landscape is, arguably, more often than not, dawn or dusk. i want people to see my pictures and think, wow, you know, that's inspiring. but it's something they can see with their own eyes. i certainly wouldn't go back to the deskjob, or working in a pub, stuff like that, that i used to do before. look at it, you know, it's fantastic. and i get to enjoy this all the time. it really is about being in the right place at the right time. and there is a large element of luck as well. terry abraham and his beautiful photos of the lake district.

well, that's it for this week. join us next week if you can, when we're in colombia to visit the hometown of one of its most infamous residents, pablo escobar. if you look in here, there is a plaque on the wall with little white crosses. that is a memorial to, i think, the amount of people they think were killed here when pablo was here. but is it right to build an industry around a former drug lord? don't keep those memories any more, please. respect us. that's next week, but in the meantime you can catch up with us an social media and online. all the details on the screen now. for now, from me, christa larwood, and the rest of the travel show team, it's goodbye. and on. if you are going across the

uk this afternoon you'll find very different weather conditions depending on where you are. that is because of the wind direction. we have a north or north—easterly wind, particularly strong in the north and east of scotland and eastern england. here the wind is bringing in cloud. but further south and west, useful blue skies and sunshine, almost warm enough for the beach. a different story across the north—east of scotland. a lot of cloud around. that will continue to

blow in on the north—easterly wind. the best of the sunshine is further south and west. if you are out for a stroll, northern ireland is pretty good to be in. some spots at up to 20 degrees. the west of scotland seeing more cloud. 9 degrees for sunderland, ten of the hole. sunshine for wales and the south—west, around the bristol area, could get to around 19 or 20 degrees. some sunny spells in the south east. through this evening and night we will continue to see a lot of cloud across the east but while that makes it feel chilly today it will hold the temperatures up tonight, up above freezing, seven or 9 degrees in some places. further west where we keep clear spells, it could be cold enough for some frost. western areas again tomorrow will see the best of the sun, northern

ireland, west scotland, always more cloud further east. at its thickest that could produce some drizzle. it will break up to give some brighter glimpses. chilly on the east coast. further west, even though it there is sunshine it won't feel quite as warm as today. into tuesday, the winds will be falling lighter. tuesday the breeze will not be as strong. the air is still coming from a chilly place. still bringing cloud into the east. but with less of a breeze out west with the sunshine it will feel fairly present. pleasant. we lose the wind completely for a time around the middle of the week and that will lead it to feel warmer with more sunshine. keep up—to—date with more sunshine. keep up—to—date with all the changes during the coming week by logging onto the bbc weather website. this is bbc news.

i'm shaun ley. the headlines at two... labour sets out key economic policies, claiming it is now the party of low taxation for middle and low earners. no income tax rises for all those earning under £80,000 a year. and there'll be no hikes in vat. and no changes in your national insurance either. the conservatives pledge more money to fund mental health staffing in the nhs and say fewer people will be detained against their will. it is new money going into the nhs thatis it is new money going into the nhs that is going into mental health. it is new money going into the nhs that is going into mental healthm is not just that is going into mental healthm is notjust money, it is having the people to deliver these jobs, which is why we need the 10,000 extra professionals. the liberal democrats commit to keeping the "triple lock" on pensions but those on higher incomes would lose
