away in the south—east and become confined to eastern scotland and north—east england so this is where we will see the cloud but elsewhere we will see the cloud but elsewhere we should see sunshine around including parts of the east midlands and if you showers will develop in the midlands and east wales and temperature —wise, away from the east coast, which will be chilly, we are looking at 11 or 12 degrees. thursday, the area of high pressure exerts its force across the uk more and we pick up a strong south easterly breeze, so strong sunshine across the country, the best was the west and some cloud in the east and showers in the mix through the midlands into wales and a few down the east coast and temperatures up between 11 and 12 but it won't feel as warm because of the strength of the wind which picks up either further and a strong south easterly and on the hump of the south—west it will bring showers and long spells of rain but further north and east it should be drier with a bit of sunshine around but that's a strong south easterly wind that will take the temperatures down a little bit

and that's it from me. that's it from us on the bbc news at six and i will be back with the latest at ten but now the news where you are. hello and welcome to sportsday. i'm jane dougall. "we are sorry" — swim england apologises after a report finds a toxic environment and a culture of fear, shocking athletes at all levels. it was horrible hearing those things. however, ifeel really positive now because i feel like a swim england have said there has been an issue with the culture. harry kane is in champions league action later, but will the england captain end another season without silverware? plus, another season without silverware? a reprieve for! being plus, a reprieve for simona halep,

being handed a dramatically shorter drugs band. also coming up on sportsday — a huge milestone awaits jonny bairstow. he'll become only the 17th man to play 100 tests for england. and we meet mclaren�*s first female development driver, who's ready to race this weekend. welcome to the programme. racism, a toxic environment, and culture of fear. those are just some of the findings of a review into swimming clubs in england, which are said to have enabled abusive training practices and bullying to exist for years. the review, which was commissioned by swim england, also found that athletes, volunteers and parents feared being "victimised" if they raised concerns with the organisation. our sports correspondent nesta mcgregor has been following

this story and is here. this makes for some really tough reading, doesn't it? it's very damning for swim england. that's robabl a damning for swim england. that's probably a fair— damning for swim england. that's probably a fair assessment. - damning for swim england. that's probably a fair assessment. swim | probably a fair assessment. swim england look after the aquatics community, and the review panel spoke to more than 1,000 people. theirfindings were that spoke to more than 1,000 people. their findings were that amateur clubs have developed a toxic environment with excessive demands on the child athletes. where performances or at times put before well—being. examples were of athletes being forced to train whilst they were injured or when it was detrimental to their mental health. it also stated a culture of fear that prevented some people from seeking out and claims that those that were met with threats. it also spoke of the need to tackle racism within swimming, highlighting that many from ethnically diverse

community felt that wasn't the space for them and it was views as a white middle—class sport. finally, para swimmers and those with special needs that they felt overlooked. 0ne needs that they felt overlooked. one example of somebody was presented with an old spare medal rather than their words, a shiny new one. it is a review that's _ their words, a shiny new one. it is a review that's taking place, so what recommendations have been made? 21 in total centring on prevention, welfare and implementing what they call a positive culture. in layman �*s terms, swim england must provide a safe space where everyone can voice their concerns. the governing body should release a strategy to increase diversity and inclusion. rebalance so that the intention an investment is it disproportionally aimed towards high performance. swim england represents thousands and

thousands of athletes, those that can meet locally, nationally and internationally. cassie pattern previously spoke to the bbc about her experiences and body shaming in particular, where she felt that one of her coaches shamed her into losing weight. she's now 37 and gave her response to today. it was horrible, i will sugar—coat it. it was horrible, i will sugar—coat it it _ it was horrible, i will sugar—coat it it was — it was horrible, i will sugar—coat it. it was horrible hearing those things — it. it was horrible hearing those things. however, ifeel it. it was horrible hearing those things. however, i feel really positive — things. however, i feel really positive now because i feel like swim _ positive now because i feel like swim england have said that there has been _ swim england have said that there has been an issue with the behaviours within the aquatic community — notjust behaviours within the aquatic community — not just the behaviours within the aquatic community — notjust the swimming side, _ community — notjust the swimming side, but _ community — notjust the swimming side, but all— community — notjust the swimming side, but all of the disciplines. and from — side, but all of the disciplines. and from the results from today, i really _ and from the results from today, i really feel— and from the results from today, i really feel like they are committed to change, they're bringing out and rolled _ to change, they're bringing out and rolled out _ to change, they're bringing out and rolled out and working through for the next _ rolled out and working through for the next two years. i feel really

that first leg result was yet another setback for a side that are now ten points off the top in the bundesliga — a gap no german team has overcome to win the title. they were also humiliatingly knocked out of the german cup by a third tier side, and lost to leipzig in the supercup in what was harry kane's debut. thomas tuchel the manager's already been told he'll be leaving at the end of the season. that departure could yet be moved forward if bayern lose again tonight. it would be their first trophyless season since 2012. it's very hard for me to deal with it for me personally but the losses and not winning because, and not having the influence that i demanded not having the impact that i demand for myself. but everything is a lesson, as a coach. i believe strongly that i will grow from it on a daily basis. things are not usual, of course.

things are not usual, of course. things are not usual, of course. things are challenging, but they are there to grow and this is what i demand for myself. so, bayern munich at a low point in spite of the fact their england striker harry kane has been outstanding. he tops the bundesliga scoring charts with more than a goal a game, and some cruel observers have pointed out that the one trophy he could win this year — germany's equivalent of the golden boot — is that, and it looks like the crest of his former club's bitter rivals, arsenal. kane though has more goals than anyone in europe's top leagues right now — scoring at a better rate than erling haaland and kylian mbappe. there are some suggesting that his talents may have come at the wrong time for bayern and that if the kane had looked beyond the 11 consecutive league titles they've won, he'd actually see a club with instability, where a manager hasn't lasted more than two years since 2016.

we got the thoughts on that from pat nevin, who's at tonight's match for 5 live. to suggest that they should spotted that, i_ to suggest that they should spotted that, i don't think too many people spotted _ that, i don't think too many people spotted this at all, because they have been winning those _ all, because they have been winning those leagues. he should make them better— those leagues. he should make them better and _ those leagues. he should make them better and he's played well. there was one _ better and he's played well. there was one simple reason for bayern munich— was one simple reason for bayern munich struggling. it seems to be a hunger— munich struggling. it seems to be a hunger that you need to play around very good _ hunger that you need to play around very good clubs. if you are bayern munich. _ very good clubs. if you are bayern munich, every single team in germany when they— munich, every single team in germany when they played you have to be at your best _ when they played you have to be at your best just about every single week _ your best just about every single week the — your best just about every single week. the case has been that's not the thing _ week. the case has been that's not the thing that's happened. thomas

in group b3. qualifying takes place between april and july. let's have a quick look at some of the other stories making the headlines. chelsea and australia striker sam kerr is set to face trial after leading them to the fifth round of the fa cup, maidstone united manager george elokobi has signed a new deal with the non—league side, keeping him at the club until 2026. elokobi will now be aiming to end their national league south campaign on a high by securing a play—off place. uk sport says it's going to try to bring some of the biggest sporting events to britain over the next two decades. their strategy is targeting a number of major tournaments, including the world athletics championships, which were held successfully at london's olympic stadium in 2017. laura kenny has only a "slim chance" of competing at the paris 0lympics, according to british cycling's performance director. kenny, who is britain's most successful female 0lympian,

gave birth to her second baby injuly, but had been targeting a fourth games. she has not yet returned to team training. now, she was given a four—year doping ban, but the former tennis world number one simona halep is free to play again after the ban was reduced by the court of arbitration for sport. the two—time grand slam champion tested positive for a prohibited blood—boosting substance in 2022. 0ur tennis correspondent russell fuller has been following the story. this is a significant victory for simona halep in that the original independent tribunal ruled that she was guilty of intentional doping, whereas the court of arbitration for sport has determined that it was the result of a contaminated supplement that she took a head of the us open of 2022. they say that she did not

exercise sufficient care or attention, that she is not guilty of significant fault or negligence, and that's why the ban has been reduced to four years to nine months, and she is free to continue her career with immediate effect. 0ther she is free to continue her career with immediate effect. other charges related to abnormalities into her biological passport have also been dismissed. it leaves us to wonder how two independent tribunals could come up with two very, very different verdicts. we have to wait for more details in the week to come. as for halep, she has released a statement by her lawyers to say that her faith has a statement by her lawyers to say that herfaith has been a statement by her lawyers to say that her faith has been tested, by the scandalous accusations that were levelled against her. and by the seemingly unlimited resources that were aligned against her. russell fuller they are on the news there. we've been highlighting these issues for a while on sportsday, but a new report has found that better female specific kit — footwear like football boots — and equipment are all needed

if the systemic gender inequality in sports is to be addressed. the report by the women and equalities committee also found the disparity affected participation, performance and caused more injuries for women. 0ur sports correspondent katie gornall reports. the profile women's sport has never been higher, but despite the surge in media coverage and public interest, mps say women and girls from the elite level down to the grassroots are still being held back with a new parliamentary report highlighting a lack of support for their health and barriers they face at different stages of life. iuntimely their health and barriers they face at different stages of life. when it comes to puberty. _ at different stages of life. when it comes to puberty, the _ at different stages of life. when it comes to puberty, the rate - at different stages of life. when it comes to puberty, the rate of - comes to puberty, the rate of drop—off for girls incredibly high, and some of that's to do with pe kit, some of its to do with the type of sports that are available to them. but primarily, we're really concerned about the lack of access to kitchen that is designed and structured for women and the lack of

education from the coaches who are coaching them, a lack of research into the equipment that they're using, the surfaces that they're playing on. do you think a report like this could help make a difference? awareness, education, and keep asking the questions, asking why things have been done, why things haven't been done, probing the questions, pushing for change — yes, we can make a difference. at a time when nothing should be holding female athletes back, change can't come soon enough. katie gornall, bbc news. flip turns to cricket now. as england prepare for theirfifth test against india, jonny bairstow says he is set for an "emotional week" as he becomes the 17th man to play 100 tests for england. the accolade comes 12 years after he made his debut for his country. bairstow is now england's second—longest—serving current player afterjames anderson, but his journey hasn't been a smooth one. joe wilson reports. they

previously for a year. i think ultimately, it came down to the fact that sean payton felt like he would not take him in the direction he wanted to go. after russell real send out to the broncos, they immediately cite him for five years. —— signed him. in the middle of this season, they tried to start getting rid of russell wilson because they didn't want him to sign his injury clause. what that means is if you were to get injured, you would then be owed another 35 million if you play through december. instead, they benched him going into the final leg of this season. you've brought this in paid him so much money, and they are trying to find ways for him not to play. are trying to find ways for him not to .[a _ . ., are trying to find ways for him not to .la ,~ ., are trying to find ways for him not tola .~ . ~ ,, . to play. what about wessel wilson himself? is — to play. what about wessel wilson himself? is anyone _ to play. what about wessel wilson himself? is anyone going - to play. what about wessel wilson himself? is anyone going to pick. to play. what about wessel wilson l himself? is anyone going to pick him up himself? is anyone going to pick him up when it comes a free agent? i up when it comes a free agent? i think he definitely will because we've seen this last year where

there was over a0 something quarterbacks used. people were draughted and traded in midway. the power of a back—up quarterback and even of a starter is so huge. you look at teams like the falcons, the patriots, the commanders. maybe even the steelers. these are all teams that needed a quarterback right now. because of russell wilson's experience in with him being a veteran, he brings a lot of value to a team. it will be a really important theme for him to find new team, i think he definitely will. {b team, i think he definitely will. cb schechter. racism, toxic environment and also a culture of fear werejust racism, toxic environment and also a culture of fear were just some of the findings of a shocking review into swimming clubs in england. they are said to of enabled abusive training practices and bullying. swim england have apologised and athletes, volunteers and parents

feared being victimise if they raise concerns. there are more details on that story and all the others we speech erred on sportsday. that's it from us. thanks very much for watching. take care. i. good evening. it certainly has been a day of mixed fortunes for some. after a frosty start, we had some lovely spells of sunshine. just take a look at this beautiful weather watcher beautiful weather watcher picture of lancashire just a few hours ago. but there was quite a lot of cloud around for others and the cloud thick enough for some drizzle. you can sense it's quite cold for the dog walk today in swanage and dorset, and despite the drizzle, you still needed that umbrella because it really does wear you through from time to time, doesn't it? this has been the story earlier on. you can see where the cloud has been sitting across western scotland, through east anglia and down along the south coast.

now, the weather front that brought the cloud stubbornly sitting along exposed east coasts, will continue to feed in quite a lot of cloud through the night, but more of a breeze here. and the cloud and the breeze will prevent temperatures from falling too far. but where we have got some clearer skies once again, well, we could see a touch of frost and maybe some patchy fog. favoured areas for that likely to be across east wales, the midlands and down towards dorset. a little more cloud towards the southwest and here, maybe a few scattered showers as we go through the day. but the frost will lift, there'll be some sunshine coming through — a better morning for northern ireland. we keep some cloud into eastern scotland and northeast england. the cloud will break up, but we could see a few isolated showers through lincolnshire down into the southeast. temperatures in the sun, 11—12 degrees, where we keep the cloud, only around 7—9 celsius.

not much change in the weather pattern as we go through friday. we still got this southeasterly flow continuing to drag in cloud from time to time off the north sea and a bit more of a strengthening breeze here. so, sheltered western areas seeing the best of the sunshine and potentially the warmth when that sunshine comes through. the cloud may be thick enough at times to produce the odd isolated shower. in terms of the feel of the weather, though, we're still looking at temperatures widely into the double digits. maybe if you keep that cloud lingering across the northeast coast, it'll say at around 8—9 degrees. stronger breeze — 35—a0 mile gusts of wind on friday before an area of low pressure could bring some showery outbreaks of rain into the southwest for the start of the weekend, so it looks somewhat like this. after a dry spell, we could see some wetter and windy weather into the far southwest.
