ifl head, do you know what i mean? if i was retiring an aside, i would say, yes, i'm the man, because you retire on the height. i'm kind of balance, and we are still hustling. we are still hurting. we are onto the next one in eyes. it is not time to sit back and enjoy the ride. we have got to get ready for the nextjob. back and enjoy the ride. we have got to get ready for the next job. the fight may end up being in the united states, but the coach remained confident they can begin to the wembley stadium. it is easy. this is a simple fact to make happen. it is easy. there are two games in the premier league this afternoon. the fight for the top four text based at

sta mford fight for the top four text based at stamford bridge. that is where totte n ha m stamford bridge. that is where tottenham meet spurs. pochettino says that nothing in the league will be decided by today's result. this is not a final. this is not, there is not a final. this is not, there is still a lot of games to play, but it is important for our confidence, your motivation, to win would be fantastic for everyone. the second half is just getting under way between dundee and heart in the scottish premiership. hearts scored first. the home side equalised. it is 1—1 at the end of the first half. women's super league i leaders, chelsea are playing arsenal. the

blues made history this week when he reached the semifinals of the champions league the first time. they took the lead in this match after if poor clearance from the arsenal keeper. kirby scored her 20th of the season. a bad mistake from the goalkeeper. beth meade equalised for arsenal just from the goalkeeper. beth meade equalised for arsenaljust before half—time, and the days of the —— the other day's early... england's cricketers are in a strong position to square the series with new zealand after taking charge the final test. the end of day three in christchurch. james anderson and stuart broad got all of new zealand's wickets. that gave the visitors a 29 first innings lead. opening batsman alistair cooke fell early, but there were two half—ce ntu ry early, but there were two half—century is before being dismissed. new zealand are one up in

the two match series. that is all the two match series. that is all the sports for now. thank you for watching. it is now time for the travel show. my name is tony giles. i'm from england. i'm totally blind and severely deaf in both ears. and i'm travelling around the world trying to visit every country. we're in the old city! israel is country 124. i see a place with my senses — i see a place by the sounds, by the smells, by the textures. the hustle and bustle of people shouting, buy this, buy this, come and look at this! i feel the atmosphere, the energy, the buzz. i was born with my eye condition, so i don't have any vision apart from sunlight sensitivity. and i've gradually gone deaf as i've got older and i am now 80% or severely deaf in both ears

but i use digital hearing aids. i travel alone, because it's the biggest challenge i can get. and the travelling by myself... excuse me! ..i get to interact with more people. if i travel with someone, particularly someone sighted, they would be doing all the work, they'd be doing all the guiding, and i would not get to touch and find as many things as i do by myself. today i'm going to catch a bus into the old city to go to the western wall. western wall? western wall, yeah. ok, let's go. i will help you. 0k. let me hold your arm like that. where are you from? i'm from england.

huh? england! i was lucky that the bus driver was nearby waiting, so it was really easy to find the bus. yeah, i've got it... let go, let go. new orleans was the first place i went to by myself — a foreign city by myself. didn't know where i was going, i was blind, and ijust froze. and then i took a couple of deep breaths and said to myself, "tony, this is what you want — if you don't want it go home." a couple more deep breaths, turn left, walk down the street, and the rest is history. excuse me, are you hear me...? this is your stop station. my stop? yes. you can get off. ok, thank you. you want any help? i'm good.

just trying to get my bearings, trying to work out which way the traffic is going, and if i can use the sunlight, but i can't sense any sun at all. i have to be careful going down the steps, because they're all marble and slippery and worn so i have to go slowly and take care. no, no, it's ok. yeah, yeah, yeah. yeah. all right, thank you. two people came to try and help me but they were a bit aggressive, theyjust grabbed me, which is not the correct way to help — it's a bit frightening. if people want to help, and many people do, ideally you would want them to speak to you and say "hello, can i help?" but obviously not everyone speaks english. so if they don't, then touch you gently on the hand, on the arm, but not pull and not grab, ideally. you have to be patient, you get lost all the time.

it's very difficult if you're looking for something specific when you can't see. because obviously you can't pinpoint it. excuse me? you might get ten people walk past and then someone will stop, "are you lost, do you need help?" and then you can interact with them — that's how it works. excuse me, is this damascus gate? yeah. straight in front of me, no? 0k. want to help? yeah. i like this! i like the atmosphere and the smells. and it's all close, and compact. it feels authentic. i'm going to the western wall, and on the way i'm going to hopefully explore some of the via dolorosa

which is stages of the cross thatjesus walked. good morning, how are you? good good how are you? you want to see my shop souvenir? i could have a brief look, why not? yes? come on. what do you sell? very good! laughs. beautiful! yeah. this is coffee. coffee yea h ? ok, i get this. about $3. that's five? that's two five yeah?

yes. two five. thank you. i probably write a blog once a week, so i document myjourneys, and my travels, and i want to share it with the world, really, and try and inspire people to believe in themselves, and they can overcome whatever their challenges are. and i also add pictures i've taken. originally i did it because i thought it would just be funny, someone seeing a blind person take photos. it's an extra way of sharing, i can show my family and friends and stuff, that's the idea, to try and share with everyone. thank you. excuse me! take the hand! people... don't leave him! over here... ok, thank you.

someone on a motorbike coming through, that's not very clever. hello. looking for the station of the cross... this way, this way... this is the station of the cross? come back. 0k... then to the left... this is where he put his hand, here. this is where christ... up, up, up, up... to the right... yes, exactly. 0h, 0k! thank you! welcome. apparently i'm at one of the stages of the cross, wherejesus put his hand on the wall and leant against a wall. defined handprint, very smooth, also quite rigid, quite bumpy. it's a lovely texture.

right, this is some barrier, i presume. hmm. is this the way in? hello? sorry, machine? womans. woman? yeah, it's not man. the wall is sort of separated, male and female, and the guy took me into the male section and took me up to the wall. 0k. there's all these notes in it.

massive blocks, very smooth. the texture, the shape of the wall, the bricks, from a historical and a spiritual point of view, it's worth visiting. tony at the western wall. so, i'm heading to bethlehem, which is in palestinian territory. and it's separated by a dividing wall and a checkpoint. so, i'm going to have to get off the bus, get through the checkpoint, and somehow meet my host. i e—mailed him using my laptop with speech software, and he sent me his phone number, and i memorised it, and i'm trying to call him with my phone now. i can use the phone because the buttons are tactile. i couldn't travel without my memory, my memory is my biggest asset. i'm using my memory constantly,

i'm exercising it all the time — i have to remember phone numbers, i have to remember directions. it allows me to find things. my memory gives me my independence, along with my cane. i'm now at the checkpoint betweenjerusalem and bethlehem. i've got to walk across the checkpoint and go past the dividing wall. railings... getting through the checkpoint is a little bit complicated. slightly more complicated than i thought, slightly more confusing. and then we'd just have to sort of try and follow other people, people sort of pushing me from one way to the other. have to get past this... looks like we're on the palestinian side, the palestinian territories.

it's quite exhilarating. as you come out of the tunnel into the taxi area, and where the wall is, you can hear all the people talking and smell the food and coffee and stuff. that's quite lively, that's quite interesting. can you show me to a taxi? taxi cab. i'm looking for a taxi. where? church of the nativity. 0k. maybe you want, i'll take you for photo at the wall, we stop and take photo.

ok, cool. you happy? yeah, always! how big is the wall? it's very big. 30... 20 metres? yes. it's far. tony... yeah? welcome to bethlehem, you're going to church? yeah, the church of the nativity. all this way... yes, wall. behind the wall you have hotel banksy behind the wall, you have hotel. i'm feeling excited to be in bethlehem, it's a new city, new town, new experiences. driving through bethlehem, along the wall, has sort of given me a brief sense of how long the wall could be. it certainly feels quite long travelling along it. in my mind it would seem quite impressive.

and i guess quite scary to a lot of people. here the church, tony. yes, this the church. ijust called my host to let him know i'm still coming. adam, we're at the church. hello?! hello... ? adam? give me, i call him... hello? i call him, he's coming, one minute he coming here. thanks, mohammed. thank you.

hi, tony, how are you? hi, adam, good to meet you, looking forward to seeing your place. how many country you visit before? i've visited 124 countries. oh, my god, that's nice! yeah. yeah! you're like ali baba. i'm very lucky! i love to travel! have you done much travelling? not, just hear, it's not easy to go move, or to travelling another country. so you get travellers to come to you? yeah! you have steps here... this is actually couch surfing, so in theory you stay for free. ok, have steps, five... you live in a castle! yeah. it's a website and you can find

people on it, they have profiles, and they want to travel or they want to meet travellers, and that's how it works. now, come here, the lift. oh, this is home! we've landed, thank you! shukran. i have had a wide range of couch experiences, i've slept on floors, on mattresses like this, i've slept on couches, and also i have couch slept in africa where the toilet‘s outside, and it's a hole in the ground. i think it probably helps not seeing, i don't see the dirt or the danger or the holes, ijust get on with it.

the main thing is your meeting the people, the local hosts and sharing their food and their culture and their knowledge and whatever they can offer you. and hopefully you make friends at the end of it. good night and good dreams. shukran, and to you. people think being blind must be terrible, poor you, they don't understand, they don't know what they're talking about. i'm so lucky and i'm leading a fantastic life, to be able to go country to country when i want, where i want... this is the way to travel! with very few restrictions on what i want to photograph or do, and you come here and you see people, yeah, they can see and they can walk but they can't go places, it's just sad. you know for directions to go trains? ok, so can you give me directions? just a straight,

not left, not right. so, just straight? yeah. and i wish you be happy and lucky in your life. 0k. shukran. bye—bye, good to meet you, adam. bye — bye. bye— bye. is this the entrance to the church? you can go in a straight now. ok, thank you. i can roughly hear a voice but it's a bit disconcerting. the echo splits the sound, so it takes away the direction. we'll get there, it can't be far. there is a big metal thing with studs which could be...

yes, that's a gate! oh, yes! yes, oil, candles... it's got a waxy smell... polish. finding the entrance is like reaching my goal, it's like reaching my target, and everything else after this is a bonus. once they've started singing, isuppose, louder, and i thought i've got to get close to this, because there's going to be a lot of energy involved, and then i've got to try and get close in close—up, eventually using my cane and picking out the steps, then guy helped me down. realising that i was the only person to get close to hear that, feel that, makes me feel very

privileged, very warm inside. i'm absolutely buzzing after that. energy is incredible! that was cool, just to be here for that if nothing else. it was quite crowded going down those steps, and they‘ re quite slippery, very deep. oh, my goodness! from the fire into the furnace. very hot in here, and i guess it's from candles and more people coming in. this is my hand, yeah?

this is the place wherejesus was born, here is the star where he was born. kneel down on your knees. kneel down... more, more, more, more, more, more, more... you can touch the place wherejesus was born. this is the star, it has 14... it's a flower, or? no, it's a star. the star of david, yeah. marble? no, it's silver. this is marble. yeah, this is marble. the ground wherejesus was born is down here, you feel it, he was born here. so this is the grotto. yes, he was born here. 0k. about there?

yeah, it's not ok like this, let me help you a little bit, it's like this, you can take a photo now... definitely an experience, a very humbling experience, to sort of be in a place where one might argue history occurred 2000 years or so ago. visiting the church, the smells, the sounds, that's what makes travelling, for me, special. i travel by myself because it's my challenge, it's like climbing a mountain, you feel, oh, this is difficult, it's a struggle, and then you get to the top, and you're like, yeah, i've made it, this is magical. that's what it's all about. broadens my horizons. and makes me become

hopefully a better person. it will be wet underfoot this afternoon, if not wet on your head. many areas much drier, and the frontal system, got one on the way. that is robbing some part of the south of the sunshine club already. through the evening and overnight, just push these bouts of whether further north. you will notice because this is all moving into relatively cold air, there will be a conversion of rain into snow. as the most falls, into that called atmosphere, we will end up with a bit of a problem with regard to light snow, particularly on higher

ground. this is in the middle of the day on monday. certainly top end of the pennines, southern upwards of england. that snow will really begin to mount up. some of the trans—pennine to mount up. some of the tra ns—pennine routes, to mount up. some of the trans—pennine routes, the tickly further north, could be looking at significant snowfall and lying depth of snow as we get into the second half of easter monday. further south, there may be some snow, but it would be a real problem. there is the real area of concern. even if you don't have some snow overnight in the south, the temperatures of 12 oi’ in the south, the temperatures of 12 or 13 degrees would get rid of it. underneath that is snow,... the tickly, if eurotunnel has taken over higher ground. tickly, if eurotunnel has taken over higherground. on into tickly, if eurotunnel has taken over higher ground. on into tuesday, the snow becomes more of a concern north of the central belt in scotland. because, here you can keep hold of the cold air. further south, what a

contrast, and i do mean what a contrast, and i do mean what a contrast, because the air will flick in from the south and south—west, chasing in behind this weather front, which as you say, still delivers snow, but further south it isa delivers snow, but further south it is a mixture of sunny spells and some pretty sharp showers. what you we re some pretty sharp showers. what you were really will notice is that some spots is that the temperatures will have really jumped quite considerably to 12 or 13, 1a or even 15 degrees. so, a lot going on in the next to four hours and a lot of chat about snow, but as you can see, it will only be of concern to some parts of the british isles. this is bbc news. the headlines... labour must stamp out anti—semitism and rebuild relations with the jewish community,

according to the newest member of its ruling body, the comedian eddie izzard. it comes as labour distances itself from some pro—jeremy corbyn facebook groups featuring anti—semitic and abusive comments. anthonyjoshua moves a step closer to becoming the undisputed heavyweight champion of the world after beating new zealand's joseph parker. if i was retiring on this high i'd be like, "yes, i'm the man". because you retire on a high. but i've got to kind of defend my throne again in a few months, so i'm kind of balanced. we're still hustling. pope francis has called for an end to what he says is carnage in syria, and for humanitarian aid to be allowed to reach the vulnerable. in the next hour... the royal air force is 100 years old today.
