this is bbc news. the headlines: jewish worshippers have converged on the western well for the passover blessing injerusalem. there's a heavy security presence as officials fear violence could breakout. meanwhile, the funerals have been held for two british—israeli sisters killed in a shooting in the occupied west bank on friday. they were named as 20—year—old maia and 15—year—old rina dee. international delegations have arrived in yemen ahead of talks on a new and potentially permanent ceasefire. saudi arabia has backed yemeni government forces against the rebels during an eight—year civil war. at least four people have been killed in an avalanche in the french alps. it's thought the victims were hikers. the interior minister, gerald darmanin, said several more people were injured

on the armancette glacier, where rescue work is ongoing. now, on bbc news, sportsday. hello and welcome to sportsday. i'm gavin ramjaun. koepka's the man to catch — as the delayed final round of the masters gets under way. a thriller at anfield between liverpool and arsenal in the premier league as the title race takes a twist. and a five—star performance for crystal palace and roy hodgson — they come from behind to hammer leeds at elland road. also coming up on sportsday: in the face of calls for change, we meet the young riders improving diversity in equestrianism. there are riders that have fallen

out of love with the sport, so by creating a community like this and having support systems, it's going to ensure they continue progressing and inspiring the next generation. hello there, and welcome along to the programme. the delayed final round of the masters is under way after the postponement and chaos caused by the weather at augusta. it's brooks koepka who leads the way, with conditions much calmer as organisers look to conclude the tournament later. koepka about to get his final round under way — along withjon rahm — the world number two hot on his heels. koepka on 11 under, with rahm two back.... and victor hovland's made a charge up the leaderboard too. he's on 8 under as we prepare for an exciting finish, with the weather much friendlier for golf than over the course of the weekend. one of the big names missing

from latter rounds is tiger woods. the five—time champion at augusta retired early with a heel problem. woods was visibly struggling in this third round, as the weather took a turn for the worse. our sports correspondent andy swiss told me why woods had pulled out. no tiger woods — he's had to withdraw. hejust managed to make the cut yesterday, but in the afternoon at the start of the third round, when the rain was at its worst, he was really struggling. you could see him hobbling around the course. remember, it's only two years since he had that career threatening car crash, and this morning before play started he issued a statement saying he was withdrawing from the rest of the tournament because of an aggravation of a foot problem, so that is sad news for the masters. tiger woods had said before this tournament that he wasn't sure how many more masters he had left in him, so fingers crossed that he will be back here next year.

we have had a lot of weather delays, is fair to say, over the last couple of days, especially yesterday afternoon, when they had to abandon the third round because of that deluge. they have managed to play catch up pretty successfully. as you can see, the weather was a lot better so they have managed to complete the third round. they are just starting their final rounds. the weather is so much better than yesterday. there was quite a gusty wind which could make life interesting for the players but fingers crossed we should get the masters finished on time, so fair to say the organisers here will be breathing a sigh of relief. to the football now — and there was a thriller at anfield, in the late premier league game — where liverpool came back to snatch a 2—2 draw, against the leaders arsenal... the points shared in a match that could have big implications for the title race. patrick geary reports. they could hear it, they could feel it. the significance of this game was inescapable for arsenal. liverpool at anfield, a huge hurdle in the title race, so they charged straight to it. gabrielle martinelli slotting then sliding, arsenal flying.

gabrieljesus unmarked, the celebrations on restraint. liverpool had been less enthusiastic spectators but now started to advance, no salad to— one, game suddenly back on. , mo sala 2—1. robertson left holding his chin. now watch the referee's arm. liverpool penalty. mo salah's moment to swing the match, list. a goal that could transform the title race, and everyone knew it. liverpool pushed for the winner and this was how close they came. a national defeat prevented by our own run style�*s was but the title race is now in manchester city's was but the title race is now in manchester city plus my curtains. first

the title race is now in manchester city plus my curtains.— city plus my curtains. first chance comes, city plus my curtains. first chance comes. the _ city plus my curtains. first chance comes, the team _ city plus my curtains. first chance comes, the team with _ city plus my curtains. first chance comes, the team with confidence | comes, the team with confidence course. we had to find a way back and thankfully this time we found a way back. it's a question, how can we not win this game? but we got a point. 2—0 down, 2—1 down, so it's obviously much better than getting nothing, so that's how i feel. it nothing, so that's how i feel. it was a great game to watch for the outside _ was a great game to watch for the outside world. we started the game well and _ outside world. we started the game well and were dominant in the first half. well and were dominant in the first half we _ well and were dominant in the first half. we scored the first, continue playing _ half. we scored the first, continue playing and — half. we scored the first, continue playing and scored the second. just before _ playing and scored the second. just before half—time we concede a goal and we _ before half—time we concede a goal and we gave some momentum. then we had three _ and we gave some momentum. then we had three or— and we gave some momentum. then we had three or four big opportunities on the _ had three or four big opportunities on the counter, but i think at the end probably it was a fair result. earlier, there was a thriller at elland road — and leeds were on the end

of a hammering by one of their relegation rivals crystal palace, a second win in a row for roy hodgson, whose side came from a goal down to score five and lift them further away from trouble. joe wilson reports. at 75, roy hodgson has watched every rise and fall. his crystal palace fear relegation, and so leeds. patrick bamford's header was perfect and leads dominated until this, a free kick, and pallas were level just before half—time. this was a much transformed team. palace were aggressive and ambitious. who fancies the header? jordan ayew has turned it around for crystal palace. not long ago before they changed managers palace barely managed to shoot. here is their third goal. leeds defenders folded, to the bewilderment of their manager. leeds piled forwards. they were outnumbered at the back. odson edwards finished.

seriously, humbled at home by relegation rivals. ayew was onside. go on, then. 5-1! still time for one of his finest hours. joe wilson, bbc news. so a dream return to palace so far for roy hodgson — but forjavi gracia the second half was more of a nightmare. this is a good day, but it is not going to be good days forever. it more than i am, because i've still got you can win two in a row, but you can lose as many as five or six, as we know. it is the worst moment from my arrival because in the rest of the teams,

the rest of the games, and today in the first half we have competed always, always competed, but it was different. dundee united earned themselves a valuable win in the scottish premiership as they fight for survival. the league's bottom side won 2—1 against hibernian, with the drama going right to the end. imran sidat reports. two sides with very different ambitions for the rest of the season. bottom side dundee united are fighting for survival, whilst the hibernian faithful still have hopes of seeing their team qualify for europe. they've lost their last three games, though, but almost had the dream start. kevin nesbitt somehow failing to score here. they were punished moments later as the experienced head of steven fletcher united in front. how he enjoyed getting one over on his former employers. after the break fletcher was in the action again, spurning this glorious opportunity to get the second of the day. soon after, they were made to pay.

proceedings were levelled to set up a grandstand finish. the confidence was flowing from hibs, with only the crossbar but denying nesbitt from 30 yards. there was still time for one final twist, though. that man fletcher broke down in the dying moments, penalty given. —— brought down. jamie mcgrath kept his cool to hand dundee united what would be a huge three points in their battle to stay up. and another line to bring you from the scottish premiership — hearts have sacked robbie nielsen — a decision they said was extremely difficult to make. hearts have dropped to fourth in the scottish premiership following a run of five defeats in the past six league games, including yesterday's loss at home to st mirren. the club were scottish cup runners—up under neilson last term and in the delayed 2020 final. the european dream for saracens is over after defeat to the champions cup holders la rochelle in their quarter final today. the three—time champions lost 24—10. tawera kerr—barlow with the last of the tries,

the french side in control. both sides were reduced to ia men late on. the victory for la rochelle means they face the only english side left, exeter, in the semi—finals at the end of the month. york valkyrie kicked off the women's super league season with a 34—12 win over reigning champions leeds rhinos at headingley. the rhinos defeated york in last seasons grand final, but it was roles reversed this time around. ellie hendry going over in the cornerfor the final try of the game. and in the men's super league — leeds in action against huddersfield, in the final match of the rivals round. in the second half — leeds 18—17 huddersfield. sunrisers hyderabad havejust beaten punjab kings by 8 wickets in the indian premier league. england's sam curran provided 22 runs as the kings finished their 20 overs on 143 for 9. in reply rahul tripathi steered sunrisers to victory with an unbeaten 7a. it's their first win of this year's competition.

josh bohannon scored a century to help lancashire earn a draw against surrey in the opening round of the county championship at old trafford. the hosts, who started day four on 22—0, looked like they might be in trouble when they lost both openers in the space of an over during the morning session. but bohannon scored 108 off 187 balls as lancashire finished on 247—3 to bat out the day and share the spoils. netherlands' mathieu van der poel won an action—packed paris roubaix men's race. the dutch rider collided withjohn degenkolb as he looked to get through a gap with less than 17 killometres to go. and then shortly after, long—time rival wout van aert suffered a puncture, which allowed van der poel to claim the win. the governing body for equestrian sport in the uk says it wants to create a "vibrant sport free from discrimination." it's after a report was published this week, highlighting bullying and a lack of diversity throughout the disciplines. rebecca wood has been to meet some of the people working to break down barriers and improve diversity

in the equestrian world. event rider lydia hayward has big ambitions, already competing on the british eventing circuit, she hopes one day she will be riding at the olympics. it was a dream for me when i was younger to represent jamaica, and here i am today, fulfilling that dream. i want to make it possible for the next generation as well. to do that three years ago with the support of her mum she launched her own foundation. through it, members come together for experienced days like here at the royal agricultural university to learn from one another and industry experts. i was lonely in the sport for quite a while. that's not the case any more. i'm not the first black rider. there are riders that have fallen out of love with the sport. creating a community like this and having the support system will ensure they continue progressing and inspiring the next generation. wow.

schemes like this are driving change in the sport. research from the governing body british equestrian shows more needs to be done. i've had a few people say i have inspired them to think about doing it more seriously, and i'm absolutely so honoured to be in a position where i can be that. it's one of those things, - the research had to be done. yes, it has taken a long time but the steps are being donej so i can only focus on the positives rather than the negatives. - ijust want to be able to go- to a show and just be included. what are you doing to make it better and more inclusive for young people? that's what it's about. that's how we will excel. 11 recommendations have been made to diversify equestrianism, including making it more accessible and affordable. those already offering that say it is not easy. it's another world to get into, so that's why we put it right

on people's doorsteps, make it affordable and subsidise it and get them started. at st james city farm in gloucester, hundreds of people have applied for riding lessons. imran loves horses and loves introducing others to his sport. he's hoping this report will positive changes. it is a two—way relationship and does need to be expanded to. the urban riding schools like ourselves, of which there was probably something like four in the country, they need support because it's really hard logistically to keep horses in the middle of a city without proper grazing and everything, so they need support to be able to do that. british equestrian say the research will help them make meaningful systemic change. lydia and imran will be watching closely. rebecca wood, bbc news. ferrari formula i driver charles leclerc has asked fans to respect his privacy and stop turning up outside his monaco apartment. the 25—year—old said his address has recently become public, leading to fans gathering outside and ringing the bell. leclerc said he was fine with people

approaching him in public but wished them to stay away from his home. he had his watch stolen in italy last year as he posed for a selfie with two people wearing scooter helmets. that's all from me — i'll be back in an hour, but i'll leave you with the football news show, where ben croucher is asking why would anyone be a premier league manager? welcome along to the football news show. who would be a football manager? in the last month we seen a host of premier league managers handed their p45s. half of clubs this season have changed managers. the average tenure of a premier league manager is less than two years. do you have any sympathy?

don't feel sorry for us but understand the pressure. i'm here to deliver. i'm not here as a talisman orwhatever, orfor murals on the walls. we choose ourselves to take a job, so we don't like that or don't - want to potentially be exposed i to this because every time you go to a newjob you believe, - i'm so good, and of course no problem, but you can never predict what will happen. i my managerial experience extends to losing my teenage years to a computer game. we have proper experts in nigel adkins and michael appleton. nigel, i want to start by reading a quote from ian holloway�*s book. it's an emotional roller—coaster when you are riding it. you can't wait to get off, but once the ride stops you want to get back on again. it sounds exhausting.

why do you do it? i think it is because it is in our blood and we love it. it's a great quote, that. the first thing to think about is to accept you will be under pressure, in the spotlight, everything you do will be judged. it is in your blood and you're thinking, i want to have another go. what lessons have i learned from the previous experience to go and share? the more experience you have, the better the decisions you will make down the line, having gone through the decisions and experiences you have gained. do you relate to that? that adrenaline that fans get every saturday afternoon, us managers and coaches have that every single day because we have the opportunity to work with a group of people and prepare for those games they watch on a saturday or tuesday. it is one where you find yourself in a position where you are lucky to have that opportunity, but the reality is, there are more

lows than highs, but we are always chasing those highs. nigel, how do you deal with those highs and the fact that there are more lows? when you are in it, i think it's important to think first and foremost about your health, because your body language, everyone is looking at you, waiting on every word, and you will be judged, whether by a member of staff, a player, a supporter, someone in the media, everyone willjudge you, so to give yourself every opportunity, you have to try and stay as healthy as you can. i once spoke to sir alex ferguson and said, i know we've got to win, it's taken for granted, but longevity of management — what have i got to start thinking about? health is a big thing. you have got to keep changing your staff around, make sure you have a hobby outside

football because you have the switch. you can't be on the time. just one of the things you said, nigel, about whether it is staff or players, almost taking everything that you say, whether it is to heart, or listening to everything you say, i remember very early and i think it was at pompey, and a player came in to see me, and he said, i need to speak to you about something you said three weeks ago. i'm like, what? it was something i said in the press after a game about one of the performances, and it wasn't that critical, but i forgot in the early days how much every single thing you say, every word you say, in the written press or wherever it may be, they listen and they read it and take it to heart, or they certainly bring it up again down the line. nigel, inevitably when you go into a job in football management,

the reason you are going into it is because someone has lost theirs because the team aren't doing very well, so you are starting off from a very difficult position. how do you find that, especially may be in this context with some of the managers taking over those clubs in the premier league at the minute? everyone has to buy into a common goal of, this is where we are and this is where we want to get to, so you need to know that this is the journey we will be on, there will be ups and downs, things will happen, but we know where we want to get to. this is the starting point. timeframe is the interesting part of that, because you know full well, as a football manager, you don't get a lot of time, do you? it is a damn sight easier going on somewhere when someone has not done particularly well and they have lost the job after a difficult spell. it is certainly more difficult when you go enough to someone who has had a really good spell and had a lot of success at the football club. early days, you have got to almost not necessarily stamp your authority

but get it very clear, like nigel said, that this is how we are going to do things, this is how it is going to be implemented, and hopefully get one or two senior players on board early doors because that will give you an opportunity to pick up points and get wins under your belt as you try to change that process. it sounds difficult. i think mere mortals like me would not quite understand how you guys do it. you are paid fairly handsomely for the job that you do. you are sometimes paid very handsomely to not do the jobs that you do. people may not quite have the sympathy for you, but as thomas frank was kind of saying, they need to try and understand a bit of the pressure you are under. can you see how the fans might not feel sympathetic towards you guys? at different levels there is a different wage packet, depending on the job. there is more pressure

that comes with that. you have to accept that you are under the spotlight, accept that if you lose games, you will probably lose yourjob. i asked one chairman, not the owner at the time but the chairman, he had been the owner, and new ownership had come in. he said, you are vastly experienced, just come in, can you give me some advice? he said do what you want, lose six games and you get sacked. fascinating to speak to you. thank you forjoining us. if you choose the life of a football manager you are not going into a job where longevity and job security are the main attractions. the reality is, most managers will get the sack and more than half never get a second chance after losing their firstjob. tom bates is a performance psychologist who has worked with multiple premier league clubs. tell us about the balance that all athletes have about trying to win versus the fear of failure and how that transfers into coaches and managers? it's a fascinating concept, particularly now, at this stage of the season.

inevitably you will have teams, coaches, managers, players that are motivated to avoid failure, relegation being the obvious concept. you can be motivated to avoid failure, but there's also another type of motivation, the need to achieve, and that is the optimal type of motivation, when teams, coaches and managers are focused on winning. i believe a lot of managers lose theirjobs down to expectations, or false expectations. from a manager's point of view, i won't do social media for obvious reasons. i won't be particularly well liked, but i tend to find that certain clubs i've worked for have almost an obsession with social media and fan forums, with a hierarchy of football clubs. you talk about the people on social media and the fan forums, a very small percentage of the actual fan base of the football club,

and their voices seem at times to be bigger than what yours is. absolutely, absolutely. the thing is, what we focus on we feel, and what we focus on we get more of. that is why i love your story about turning off social media. who are these people anyway with these opinion is that we are never going to meet? if these opinions start to influence the chairman or ceo, it is about a conversation, inviting them in to see the work we are doing and removing that tendency for the loudest voices. as you say, social media has many great things, but at times it can be a hell of a problem, particularly in the case of the owner, if they end up listening to the wrong voices. the antidote is to educate, help them, bring them into help understand what it is we are trying to achieve. the key thing for all of this is, can you train this and can you get

better at all of this? absolutely, we can train ourselves to be emotionally in control, to handle the situation. that's probably, coming to the end of this, going to be the defining factor of the last eight or nine games, the teams, coaches, managers, players, people that can best deal with the situation emotionally. that will define success in the end. tom, really interesting to hear from you, thank you forjoining us on the programme. michael, fascinating to hear your views as well. thank you very much. you can follow the latest developments on the bbc sport website. if you have missed any previous episodes, you can find them on the iplayer. thanks for watching, goodbye. hello there, good evening. it's been dry, settled, really quite warm across much of the uk so far this

easter bank holiday weekend. plenty of sunny spells around too, some of the sunshine hazy at times with some high cloud in the way. but of course, it was never going to last. it is going to turn a lot more unsettled into next week. wet, very windy at times, and there will also be a drop in temperature and it will be feeling colder. 0vernight tonight, the band of rain across northern ireland and western scotland will start to bring in the changes, it continues to push further eastwards. some clear spells for a time for northern ireland, but then another rash of showers following on behind the main weather front. and underneath that cloud and the rain, a mild start to the day on monday. now, some very typical bank holiday weather coming up tomorrow. outbreaks of rain through the morning. some of the rain likely to pop up for a time across central and eastern areas of england, before it clears out of the coast of east anglia, as we head towards lunchtime. but a lot of showers behind the weather front. some of the showers are likely to line up in bands and they could be heavy, thundery, there could even be some hale at times.

blustery towards english channel coasts. it won't be raining all the time, there will also be some sunny spells, but also a drop in temperature through the afternoon, in that cooler feeling air. and it will be quite chilly on monday night, into tuesday, maybe even a touch of localised cross, especially across scotland. a calm start to the day. this depression will be with us as we head through tuesday afternoon. but it's not a bad—looking morning. mostly dry, a few showers out towards the west, the winds ramp up towards irish sea coasts as we head through the late afternoon in particular, and we'll start to see these outbreaks of rain spread across england, wales and eventually northern ireland. temperatures again on the low side for this time of year, 10 to 13 degrees celsius, already feeling chillier. the band of rain stretches up into scotland, much of northern ireland through tuesday night into wednesday. wednesday, even windier still, localised weather warnings in force. coastal gales, you can see the squeeze on the isobars for parts of devon, cornwall and south wales. some of the showers swirling round this area of low pressure could fall a little bit wintry in nature across the northern high ground. and as you can see from our outlook from the capital cities,

it's really very unsettled, it's cold for this time of year too. it could warm up by the weekend, perhaps. bye— bye.

live from london, this is bbc news. a family's grief — the funeral takes place for two british—israeli sisters killed in a shooting in the occupied—west bank. international delegations arrive in yemen, as talks to end eight years of war get under way in the capital, sana'a. and at least four people are killed in an avalanche in the french alps. rescuers are still searching for survivors. pope francis calls on the international community to help end conflicts in ukraine, syria, and elsewhere in his easter blessing at the vatican.
