:00:08. > :00:10.headlines. Coming your way: Archaeologists have a mammoth task

:00:11. > :00:14.to move a one million year old skeleton.

:00:15. > :00:25.And a lost baby seal finds itself in the middle of a Swedish city.

:00:26. > :00:28.First up - It's FA Cup semifinal weekend and right now thousands of

:00:29. > :00:32.Arsenal and Wigan fans are on their way to Wembley. All eyes will be on

:00:33. > :00:35.Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger - the Gunners haven't won a major trophy

:00:36. > :00:40.in nine-years and have only won four of their last 13 games. Arsenal

:00:41. > :00:42.still go into the game as favourites, although Championship

:00:43. > :00:45.side Wigan did win the trophy last year. The match kicks off just after

:00:46. > :00:48.five. We are favourites, yes, but it

:00:49. > :00:51.doesn't mean that you will win. You win when you produce a quality

:00:52. > :00:54.performance. We have, in this competition, produced top quality

:00:55. > :01:02.performances and let's continue with that.

:01:03. > :01:06.The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are continuing their tour in New

:01:07. > :01:09.Zealand. The royal couple went to pay their respects at a war memorial

:01:10. > :01:12.in a town called Cambridge. Thousands of people lined the

:01:13. > :01:16.streets to see them. The Duke and Duchess will leave for Australia

:01:17. > :01:19.next week. Cyclone Ita battered the coast of

:01:20. > :01:22.Queensland in north eastern Australia, overnight. The storm

:01:23. > :01:26.brought winds of up to 230 km per hour and left thousands of homes

:01:27. > :01:29.without power. Cyclone Ita weakened as it moved down the coast and

:01:30. > :01:37.although it caused some damage to buildings, there were no reports of

:01:38. > :01:40.any casualties. Next up, archaeologists had a

:01:41. > :01:43."mammoth" task just before the weekend as they moved a skeleton

:01:44. > :01:47.which was more than one million years old. The remains of a mammoth

:01:48. > :01:50.- nicknamed Vika - were discovered in a coal mine in Serbia five years

:01:51. > :01:55.ago. The archaeologists had to encase the beast in 60 tonnes' of

:01:56. > :01:57.sand and rubber - to stop the bones moving about. Then, cranes and

:01:58. > :02:05.bulldozers moved in - to transfer the remains to an exhibition.

:02:06. > :02:09.Justin Bieber, Nicki Minaj and Rita Ora just some of the people you

:02:10. > :02:12.think could be the next judge to replace Kylie Minogue on The Voice.

:02:13. > :02:15.The pop singer announced she was quitting the show after only one

:02:16. > :02:19.series yesterday. Watch out for the flashes. Kylie says she can't commit

:02:20. > :02:22.to another series of the talent show because she's going on tour. There's

:02:23. > :02:27.no news yet on who'll replace her but you've told us some of the big

:02:28. > :02:30.names you'd like to see in that chair. Holly wants to see Jade from

:02:31. > :02:34.Little Mix on the show because she loves the band. And James is hoping

:02:35. > :02:38.it'll be Pharrell Williams because he thinks he'll make a great mentor.

:02:39. > :02:41.Head over to the website to tell us who you think should fill Kylie's

:02:42. > :02:43.shoes - and we'll read out more of your suggestions later this

:02:44. > :02:46.afternoon. Thousands of people from all over

:02:47. > :02:49.the country are getting ready for tomorrow's London Marathon. One of

:02:50. > :02:52.those is Holly McHugh. The six-year-old was determined to

:02:53. > :02:56.support her mum but, because she's too young to take part, she's spent

:02:57. > :02:59.the past few months chalking up the miles so she can complete the

:03:00. > :03:04.distance. BBC Sports Mike Bushell caught up with her.

:03:05. > :03:08.It is 12 years before Holly McHugh can take part in the London Marathon

:03:09. > :03:14.but that hasn't stopped her being inspired by the event. And one way

:03:15. > :03:22.or another she was going to join mum in doing 26.2 miles this spring. For

:03:23. > :03:29.over three months now Holly has been running mile after mile. What do you

:03:30. > :03:36.love about running? I can go very fast. You can. I'm shocked to be

:03:37. > :03:40.honest she has to stuck at it. From the age of six you think she will do

:03:41. > :03:46.a few miles and say I have had enough now. She hasn't, she has

:03:47. > :03:49.stuck to it. By Sunday afternoon Holly will have completed her 26.2

:03:50. > :03:52.miles, doing her final 20 metres near the parade on the streets of

:03:53. > :03:59.London, albeit away from the marathon course. What is it about

:04:00. > :04:03.the London Marathon? Have you watched it on the TV before? Yes.

:04:04. > :04:09.What do you love about it? It is funny because some people walk all

:04:10. > :04:14.the way. Some people walk all the way, but you won't. What would you

:04:15. > :04:22.say to people who say they can't do it? I imagine the finish line at the

:04:23. > :04:29.end of the marathon. That is a great tactic. Holly is putting on a sprint

:04:30. > :04:35.finish and I got left behind chatting. I will catch up. Holly!

:04:36. > :04:39.Wait!. She has gone, there's no stopping here, and look, at the end

:04:40. > :04:50.there is a musician here who has written a song dedicated to Holly's

:04:51. > :04:54.marathon attempt. # Keeping up the fight as we crossed

:04:55. > :04:58.the finish line. In other sports news - one of the

:04:59. > :05:00.most successful coaches in British sport, Cylcing's Sir Dave

:05:01. > :05:03.Brailsford, has been talking about his fond memories from his job after

:05:04. > :05:06.announcing yesterday that he was stepping down. He was performance

:05:07. > :05:10.director for British Cycling for eight years - helping Team GB to 16

:05:11. > :05:14.Olympic Golds but there was more to his role than winning medals.

:05:15. > :05:17.A lot of what we did over the last period was about getting more people

:05:18. > :05:21.cycling and more people engaged in cycling, moving the sport forward,

:05:22. > :05:28.winning at the highest level, and I'm sure it will keep on going. It

:05:29. > :05:31.was nice to be able to play a role in that and hopefully set up a great

:05:32. > :05:37.team who can continue that success going forward.

:05:38. > :05:40.A baby seal has been attracting a lot of attention in Sweden. It was

:05:41. > :05:43.spotted in Sundsvall city's harbour after apparently losing it's way

:05:44. > :05:47.while swimming in the Baltic sea. It's not unusual for baby seals to

:05:48. > :05:51.leave their parents when they are two to three weeks old. The seal

:05:52. > :05:53.population in the Baltic is big at the moment, so sightings like this

:05:54. > :05:56.could become more common. That's your lot for now, last update

:05:57. > :06:01.just after 2pm.
