good evening. i'm tulsen tollett with your sports news where we start with football. and arsenal struck in the 90th minute to beat manchester united and kept manchester city at arms length in the premier league. eddie nketiah�*s goal gave the gunners 3—2 win to restore a five point advantage at the top of the table. craig templeton reports. so far this season, arsenal have had the rest of the league dancing to the beat of their own drum. the only pause in the music came against united at old trafford. time for track two. united have been steadily rising up the charts, though, mostly due to the performances of their frontman. nine goals in nine games for marcus rashford. he's centre stage once again, but arsenal have

someone who was once a stand—in doing something similar. eddie nketiah 1—1. the emirates volume turned up. bukayo saka was about to make it fever pitch, a drop of the shoulder and a brilliant strike and the league leaders were leading again. time to keep your focus. but unfortunately for arsenal, aaron ramsdale lost his and that meant united were level. the man with a band was lisandro martinez. but this is a different arsenal and this was their encore, zinchenko, odegaard, nketiah. a remarkable win, a remarkable game, where arsenal were on song again and they continue to march on. craig templeton, bbc news. erling haaland scored his fourth manchester city hat—trick to give them a 3—0 win over wolves at the etihad. it's 25 premier league goals for the season now for the norwegian. that's more than the golden boot winner for the past four seasons.

he has 31 in total in city colours and was even given a rest for the last half an hour. leeds united have now gone six games without a win in the premier league after a goalless draw with brentford. jesse marsh's side had the better chances in the game, one of the best going to wilfried gnonto. but he couldn't add to the two he scored against cardiff in the fa cup in midweek. brentford failed to record a single shot on target, but they did move back above liverpool to eighth in the table, while leeds remain in the bottom six. winning an edinburgh derby is prize enough but hearts�* 3—0 win at hibs also provided a place in the scottish cup fifth round as their second winner of their rivals in three weeks. lawrence shankland became the first hearts player to score 20 goals in a season since 1992. but the captain was also sent off in stoppage time after receiving his second yellow card. manchester united are the new leaders of the women's super league after an 88th minute goal gave them a 1—0 win at reading.

their position at the top was guaranteed after three games, including those of title rivals chelsea and arsenal were postponed due to the weather. chelsea's match against liverpool at kings meadow kicked off as scheduled at 1230 this afternoon, but the pitch remains sufficiently frozen for the referee to call it off afterjust six minutes. the situation was described as embarrassing by one pundit, while neither manager was happy the game had started. edinburgh managed to squeeze past saracens in the european rugby champions cup 20—14 in their final pool a match. but it wasn't enough to get a home tie in the competition's last 16. player of the match, pierre schoeman, powered them towards victory. sarries rallied, but it wouldn't be enough. although their comeback caused real confusion at the end, the margin of victory wasn't enough for that home game in the next round, with edinburgh seemingly unaware of needing another score. so the scottish side will go to leicester in the round of 16, the saracens hosting ospreys. and that is all your sport for now.

coming up on this week's show... during the pandemic many of us realised just how intense was our passion for travel. and i am so excited about the opportunities to explore economically and responsibly this year. the ukrainian artwork that has now found a safe home on display at a gallery in madrid. and who discovered the equator?

hello and welcome to the travel show, coming to you this week from behind the scenes at our home here at the bbc in london. it is here where we plan the shows and edit the films from all over the world, finding stories, juggling logistics and, just like everybody else, trying to find the biggest bang for our buck when it comes to travelling abroad. over the past decade here at the travel show hq it has been ourjob to create new content for you every week on a fairly modest budget. so no wonder we picked up a tip or two along the way about how to get the most for our money. we get the best value we can by packing in as much as possible on each trip, travelling light and using our network of local fixers and producers as often as we can to help bring down travel costs and our carbon footprint. so how can you save money when you travel abroad in 2023?

here is our global guru, simon calder, with some ideas. when so many of us are feeling the squeeze financially it is no wonder that some travellers are considering cutting back on adventures. when money is tight, seeing your ideal destination on tv or social media can stir up a load of negative feelings and leave you believing that your dream holiday, isjust that, a dream. in 2022 the travel show team went dune bashing in qatar. attended age—old ceremonies in chile, and saw some amazing creatures that also call this planet home at yellowstone. right over there in the distance is a grizzly bear. and this is how you can get to some of these destinations. the usa is full of wish list

locations, hollywood, miami beach, new york city and natural wonders like yellowstone which lucy and the travel show visited in early 2022, coinciding with its 150th anniversary as a national park. this is old faithful, probably one of the world's most famous geysers. there she goes. people save for years to see amazing places like yellowstone but with the cost of living soaring, are such trips becoming out of reach? as always, if you can travel at times of low demand you will get the best deal. keep costs down by taking cabin baggage only. most transatlantic airlines now charge extra for anything you want to check into the hold, but at the same time offer generous hand luggage allowances and there is less chance that your valuables will go astray.

in april, uk air passenger duty for fligths to north america increases to £87, or in anything other than basic economy, £191. you can avoid the tax by taking a ship to dublin or a train to paris and booking a flight from there. but allow plenty of time to make the connection if you miss the onward flight, you are not getting a refund. the same idea works in the opposite direction. if you are starting in north america and planning to visit a number of european countries, make britain the first nation you visit, not the last. for all its colour, scenery and wonders, south america appears on the wish lists of surprisingly few travellers. and that may not be about to change. according to a survey by the leading uk travel association,

significantly fewer travellers this year are looking to visit a country they have never been to before. with shrinking disposable income, that is understandable. but try and think big. in late march, carmen and the team switched spring for the southern hemisphere autumn in the long, thin and spectacular south american nation of chile and got to part in some amazing experiences. when you think of mummies, you think of the ancient egyptians wrapped in bandages but these guys here, there are masks, sticks where their bones were and what is fascinating is the smaller mummies of children and babies. south america really rewards travellers who can invest time and a trend we have noticed at the travel show supported by industry data is that the average length of stay is increasing. if you can spend weeks rather than days in a place you will get

under the skin of it and have a much more enriching and enlightening experience. even better, stay with a family to understand the culture more deeply and to keep a lid on costs. homestays are easy to find online and typically have a minimum stay of a week or two. last month, the first—ever and sometimes controversial fifa world cup to be held in the middle east came to a thrilling conclusion as argentina lifted the trophy in qatar. every global sporting event creates a kind of travel vacuum after the game is over. but the alluring setting, the culture, the nature, not to mention the sunshine and the beaches remains as rajan discovered when he visited the gulf state in the buildup to the tournament. so i put my mouth here.

yes. and bite, right hand. again, again. if the middle east is on your list of places to go this year, now could be a very good time to be there. since the world cup, qatar has a vast number of hotel rooms to fill and so it has become the region's bargain basement location. in february, a room in a good budget hotel in central doha, five minutes walk from the national museum and ten minutes from the souk is selling at around $60 a night. roughly half of what you would pay for the equivalent property across in dubai. at the travel show it is notjust money we're looking to save, it is the planet as well. happily, the two often go hand—in—hand. last summer, ade and the team saw the effects of climate change itself.

since the fires have hit this whole area it now looks very different. as they visited the greek island of evia to see how it is recovering from devastating forest fires. look at that. just as far as the eye can see, all you are looking at is burnt trees. environmentally, tourism is unquestionably part of the problem. but if greece is on your travel agenda this year, then there are ways of limiting the impact on the planet and your pocket. between the two biggest cities, the capital, athens and thessaloniki in the north it used to be that the only quick way to make the journey was by plane. thankfully there is a new and much more environmentally friendly high—speed railway taking underfour hours between the two cities. you can save money by being under 2a or over 64 and if you are somewhere

in the middle, just sign up for the ht card. it is free and gives you a 15% discount reducing the cost of the cheapest ticket from 9 euros to less than 8. this is the classic africa of storybooks and the location of the great migration. for me, the most remarkable travel show trip of 2022 was the one that ended the year. a two—parter out in africa how does a blind girl go on safari in which visually impaired social media star lucy edwards joined the team in kenya. sobs. it's ok, it's ok. it's completely fine.

honestly, when you call baraka a blessing, he is a blessing. it is a blessing to be blind because it means he is meant to teach people a lesson. he is meant to be here to get people... ..to understand you should not be poaching these beautiful animals. the film made me think more deeply about africa and in particular the wildlife that coexists, often uneasily, with humanity. i have been lucky enough to go on safari in seven african countries and i found the costs are lowest in uganda and zimbabwe with namibia also offering some good deals. to limit the cost and the environmental impact, consider going on a guided walking safari rather than just hopping into the nearest 4x4. you might find it a more memorable experience.

during the pandemic, many of us realised just how intense was our passion for travel. and i am so excited about the opportunities to explore economically and responsibly this year. i have not regretted a single trip i have ever taken, only those i had to cancel. go out and see the world. i will meet you on the road. next we are off to ecuador and in the 18th century french scientists thought they had discovered the location of the equator. but they got it wrong. thousands of years earlier the pre—incas were almost able to plot location almost as accurately as a modern—day gps and we find out how they did it. this is the south american nation of ecuador. famed for the wildlife haven that is the galapagos islands and large swathes of the amazon rainforest.

let's not forget the meaning of ecuador�*s name itself. the equator. and in 1982, to mark its position as the middle of the earth, the ciudad mitad del mundo monument was opened on the site of the imaginary line that divides the northern and southern hemisphere. since then it has attracted hundreds and thousands of visitors. its location was based on a series of expeditions carried out by the french academy of science in the 18th century, known as the french geodesic mission. but since the advent of gps, it has been discovered that the site is actually wrong by 240 metres. this, infact, is where the equator is. now it may feel wrong to compare technology from the 18th century

to what we have in the modern day, but as civilisation known as the quitus, who lived in ecuador even before the incas had already worked out the true location. travel to catequilla above the city of quito and you will find an important pre—incan astronomical observatory, used to learn more about the seasons as well as space.

as the world faces ever—growing problems such as climate change, experts like christabel believe that this discovery proves that some of the answers we need don't lie with new discoveries in the future but lay buried in our past.

well, finally this week, a year on from the start

of the war in ukraine, it's not only the country's population and infrastructure that has come under bombardment, but also much of its cultural heritage. recently a secret convoy of trucks containing 51 works of art managed to avoid russian shelling and slipped out of ukraine to travel all the way to madrid for safekeeping, and if you're heading to the spanish capital, you can see the collection there until the end of april. here is the story of how it got there. the cultural heritage of ukraine is in danger at the moment. i think the museum is in danger, too, and in a sense the paintings were ta ken to safety.

i hope that they will stay in europe for a long period of time. the national museum of ukraine is situated in the government district of kyiv. it's basically a stone's throw from the cabinet of ministers, which of course is situated very close to the presidential administration, so in case of attack on the government district, the museum will be in very high danger. the quantity of problems which we faced was unbelievable.

museum staff basically barricaded themselves in the cellar, where paintings were removed. literally two months living in this cellar, because they could not go home because public transportation did not work. electricity cuts, air raids, and of course we had many problems organising shipment of this art. as you can imagine, there is no insurance company in the world which is ready to ensure anything moving through ukraine. two trucks reached the polish border. we were already relieved, and in that very moment, a missile exploded in a polish village.

poland immediately closed the border, and that moment everybody thought that it was the beginning of the third world war. ukrainian diplomatics in madrid talked to ukrainian diplomats in poland, and after more than ten hours on the border, both organised passage for these trucks when the border was still closed. and by sheer miracle, the trucks arrived to madrid on time.

for us, these works are symbolic, and of course it's a part of their cultural heritage. it's a part of their identity, and they are extremely happy that they are right now in madrid, in safety. during the opening i was pinching myself to be sure that it's a reality, because it was so difficult to believe that it would happen that, in a sense, for me it was a miracle.

let's hope those pieces of art will one day be able to be enjoyed back in kyiv. well, that's all we've got time for this week. coming up next week: we're off to new york to see how the big apple's legendary nightlife is finally back with a bang, and also asking just how ethical is it for tourists to go and see agent egyptian mummies in museums

thousands of years after they died. these are human bodies, and no—one would accept to have a member of his family displayed in such a manner, where people take selfies. well, that's bound to be a good one, so hope you can catch that next week. and don't forget there's more great travel content on the bbc. the details are at the bottom of your screen now. but in the meantime, from me, carmen roberts, and the rest of the travel show team here at hq in london, it's goodbye.

hello. for some of us, it was a chilly weekend with frost and fog towards the south, milder conditions further north. and we're really keeping with that north west, south east split in the weather over the next few days. frost and fog once again for parts of southern and eastern england in particular, but milder, cloudier conditions elsewhere. and that's because we've still got this cold air mass with us. you can see the blue colours through the course of monday into tuesday as well, pushing across really southern and southeastern parts of england, perhaps into south wales, but much milder conditions with the orange colours further north across the uk. so overnight we've seen quite a lot of fog forming, some dense freezing fog patches through parts of eastern england, east anglia, through to the west of london, for instance, minus seven degrees. some of the overnight lows first thing monday morning, but milder and frost free further northwest. so monday then most places rather cloudy pretty much of the day. the best slice of the sunshine will be for parts of lincolnshire

down towards the south coast of england as well. but we have got a few freezing fog patches and a bit more cloud working in across the far south east of england and there'll be more cloud for northern england, northern ireland and scotland, but a bit of brightness around the north coast here, ten or 11 degrees, but you'll struggle to get more than about three or four down towards the southeast. so that contrast continues through monday night into tuesday as well. we've still got mild, cloudy and drizzly conditions in the northwest, clearer skies down towards the south. look at that, minus two, minus three, even in the towns and cities. so again, touch of frost and perhaps some freezing fog patches here and there. that could be a little bit slow to clear. but there should be some sunshine breaking through on tuesday, particularly through central and southern england, a little bit more cloud into the far southeast. again, add a bit more cloud once again across the northwest of the uk where temperatures are going to reach 11 degrees or so despite a few spots of drizzle, but struggling at around three or four down across southeast england now moving through tuesday night into wednesday, then high pressure dominating. but we've got this weather front just sinking its way a little bit further south. so that's a bit of a change,

i think during wednesday. some rain for a time clearing out of scotland and northern ireland, pushing into england and wales, but it should also squeeze some of that milder air a bit further south. so we're still seeing temperatures only about five degrees for the likes of london and norwich as well. and it's not going to be any colder to the north of that cold front. there will be some more sunshine around, but things looking mostly dry through thursday and friday. temperatures eventually turning a bit milder in the south, bye—bye.

welcome to newsday, reporting live from singapore, i'm mariko oi. the headlines. reports from california say police have found the body of the main suspect in saturday's mass shooting after they broke into a van. the los angeles county sheriff's department releases the first images of the suspect in the monte—ray park shooting, which left ten people dead and a further ten injured. this community had been celebrating the lunar new year full of hope and optimism for the future. like so many other american cities before them, there are now mourning the dead from a horrific act of violence.
