and just want to get out there, and if it's to do with sport, fitness, you know, environment, environmental things, mental health, whatever, you know... i went back to my local primary school and watched kids sit on the same floor that i used to cross my legs at that age, you know? and that sometimes brings it back home. and, you know, it is so, so important to be more than just an athlete. and ijust think it's a really, really nice way to finish what hopefully is going to be a fantastic games. when you get back from the games, do't you just want to go on holiday, when you get back from the games, don't you just want to go on holiday, just chill out? yeah, no, absolutely. of course you want to go away. but you also want to ride that wave. it's such a special feeling environment. as a nation, we focus so much on the winning and the medals and whatever, but there's actually a big holistic message around the olympics. campbell is passionate about using her platform to address body image issues among young women and encouraging kids to get more active. with social media, there's underlying pressure for people to look a certain way or be a certain way. there's a reason why we're all different, is because we're meant to be the person that we are —

that should be celebrated. and, you know, and people that don't want to do that, that should be challenged. and for me, that's what i'm on the road to do. well, they are tears ofjoy... now close to qualifying for her second olympics, the trailblazing campbell is intent on lifting the nation once again and making an impact on the medal table and beyond. emily campbell! dan roan, bbc news. the very best of luck to her. time for a look at the weather. here's elizabeth. really good weather for ducks as we head through this week. it will be wet and very windy at times. but much better news ahead for the easter bank holiday weekend, from good onwards, it will start to dry out. we could see some issues with mist and fog. some such an times and it will feel a bit warmer too. but a lot of weather to get to before we get there. quite windy today, freshening south—easterly wind, a

lot of rain to come. this is the rainfall accumulation chart as we head through the next 5 days. plenty of wet weather to come. particularly wet across the far south—west of england, devon and call lawful that we could see some flooding here. a lot of rain here today from pretty much stationary cold also bringing further abuse of rain across south wales. this warm front pushes northwards across central and southern areas of scotland. bringing further heavy downpours across northern ireland. some of this rain turning to snow on the northern edges as it hits the colder air across the grampians and the cairngorms. so above about 200 to 300 metres. some outbreaks of rain later but largely dry for most, few brighter spells with a lot of cloud and temperatures are lower than they were yesterday, 6 to 12 celsius. overnight tonight, the warm front clears away into the north sea, taking the rain with it. there will

be some wintry showers across the far north of scotland in the rain continues across wales, south west england pushing further east. largely frost free start to the day but watch out for icy stretches across the north of scotland. here the wintry showers are likely to continue for a time tomorrow. pushing a little further northwards, some gusty winds across the north. the cold front is pushing further northwards and eastwards bringing more rain across the midlands, central and southern england and northern wales. temperatures are starting to slip a little, 5 to 12 celsius once again. on wednesday, it's wet and windy, this area of low pressure towards the west of ireland, gusts of around a0 to 50 mph. more organised bands of showers. some of them likely to be wintry. so very wet and windy with strong gusty winds on thursday towards china coast in particular. from udvardy onwards, by the afternoon it should be a bit drier and a poster to warm up a little

over the weekend. that's it. you can keep up with all the latest developments on the bbc website. hello. welcome along to sportsday on bbc news. i'm ben croucher. these are your monday headlines: a new bbc sport study reveals how some female athletes in the uk are chasing international honours whilst earning less than the minimum wage. we'll have all the details. we'll find out about the campaign where olympians and paralympians aim to give back to their communities this summer. and just how does it feel to become the first women to complete one the first woman to complete one of the toughest ultramarathons in the world? aside from probably quite tired!

welcome to the programme. a bbc sport study of over 100 elite british female sportspeople has found that more than a third say they have considered giving up their sport due to the cost of living crisis. the research is part of wide—ranging look into issues facing women athletes in 202a. our reporter katie falkingham has been looking at this and told me earlier about some of the figures involved. this study was in the form of an anonymous questionnaire was sent to 615 athletes and we got 1a3 responses. the numbers are quite stark. more than three quarters of those that responded to us said they earn less than £30,000 from their sport. according to the office for national statistics, that is almost £5,000 less than the average salary in the uk. i think there is this preconception that athletes and a lot of money, but the survey shows thatis lot of money, but the survey shows that is not really the case. only eight of those who responded said to

us that they earned more than £100,000 was poor, more than three quarters who responded said as sportspeople, they felt they were not paid as much as their male counterparts. bbc sport has chosen to keep responses from athletes anonymous, but what have they been saying to you? but what have they been saying to ou? , ., , but what have they been saying to ou? , . , . , ., , you? they have been really honest with us. you? they have been really honest with us- many _ you? they have been really honest with us. many have _ you? they have been really honest with us. many have thought - you? they have been really honest with us. many have thought about| with us. many have thought about quitting the sport because they're simply not earning enough from it, but for many of these athletes, it is not a case ofjust quitting the sport and getting a job. they have to find a job that fits around their sport, and when you think about the hours athletes are training, that is simply not possible for most of those. one athlete told us, i will just read it: "i will have to work night shifts, and you're not going to get international medals if you have to do that". another said she is working five jobs in order to fund her sport. when you think about it, the current economic climate at the moment, sponsorship is all the harder because of that climate. one athlete told us, it doesn't matter if you have world class results and

you are in a top ten ranking. if sponsorship is not there, you will struggle to earn money. really interesting stuff. the study itself covers a number of different topics. what else are we looking at? it has covered a lot of ground, from social media trolling to sexism in sport to maternity. almost three quarters of those who responded said they have experienced sexism. more than one third have been trolled on social media, and a quarter have said that they have received social media abuse of a sexual nature. one maternity in sport, a third of athletes who responded told us they have delayed starting a family in order to focus on their sporting careers, well actually, six athletes told us very honestly that they have had an abortion, such has been their fear that it would impact on their athletic career. there is plenty more to come on this study throughout the week, so keep an eye on the bbc sport website. the miami open tennis continues today with katie boulter in fourth round action, but there are no brits left in the men's singles after cameron norrie exit at the hands of daniil medvedev.

norrie couldn't recover from two early breaks in the opening set against the defending champion, losing it eventually 7—5. he was then blown away by the russian's serve in the second, with medvedev taking it 6 games to 1. if this is to be andy murray's last appearance in miami, we had the full rollercoaster to go with it. he took the first set against czech republic's thomas mahatch, before losing the second. in the third, he came back from 5—2 down, rolled his ankle, needed treatment, saved a match point and led 5—3 in the tie break before mahach won through to round four. staying in florida, where not all heroes wear capes, but their sons do — because for the first time in 3,058 days, more than 8 years and four months to you and me, peter malnati is a winner on the pga tour. four birdies on his back nine gave an emotional malnati victory at the valspar championship and earned him a spot at the masters next month.

he plays with a yellow ball as he son liked the colour, and with four—year—old hatcher watching on, he claimed his first win since november 2015. you wonder if you are ever going to do it again, you know, because it is hard, and in the nine years since my last win, it has gotten a lot harder too. if you look at the level of talent out here, guys coming out when they are 20 years old and they are ready to play on the stage and they are so good, it is just... i mean, you just wonder. and so to have this moment, itjust feels so amazing. well done to him. in four months, it'll be the eve of the olympics, with the paralympics starting just over four weeks later. and for many of the british athletes, the hard work won't stop after the closing ceremony. post—paris, they'll spend two weeks back in their communities, getting involved in social impact projects. it's part of the changemakers campaign, which is launched today. at the forefront is tokyo weightlifting silver medalist emily campbell.

for me, it'sjust for me, it's just about getting people fit and healthy, getting people fit and healthy, getting people involved and making people happy as well while doing it. you know, whatever that may be. i would obviously love the world to weight lift, because it's my sport and i love it, but at the same time, it's not for everyone. but being able to be fit and healthy and carry that physical literacy through and teach young people and children how important it is to be active and look after yourself, that for me is everything, so if there is any way i can do that and raise the profile of that, i will do it. can do that and raise the profile of that, iwill do it. with can do that and raise the profile of that, i will do it. with social media, there are certain pressures these days. there is an underlying pressure for people to look a certain way or be a certain way, and we are all unique for a reason. there is a reason why we are all different, because we are meant to be the person that we are, like comes in all different shapes and sizes, it comes in all different colours and races and ethnicities, so that should be celebrated, and people that don't want to do that, that should be challenged, and for

me, that's what i am on the road to do, and the bottom line is, we all have to be fit and healthy, we all have to be fit and healthy, we all have to be fit and healthy, we all have to look after ourselves, because we live a longer, healthier life, and everyone wants to live a longer, healthier life doing whatever makes you happy, so if i can tie the two together, i am on to a winner. it's a race inspired by a prison break, sees competitiors climb the equivalent of mount everest twice, and warns those taking part of extended period of unspeakable suffering, but last week jasmin paris became the first woman to complete the 100 miles long barkley marathons in tennessee. runners try to get round five loops, through bushes and woodland, trying to remember the route, and some years nobody finishes. butjust inside the 60 hours cut off, parris made it with 99 seconds to spare. a mother, a vet and research scientist, she told us she did it to test her limits and inspire other women around the world.

i knew it would be tight from about six hours out from the finish, there is really pushing it. it wasn't till the last kilometre that i really sort of doubted that it was going to be possible, and at that point, i was just so desperate to stop running and to walk, and i knew that i couldn't, because i wouldn't make it, so ijust force myself to keep running, and i think it wasjust the thought that if i didn't make it this time, it was going to be by seconds, then i would have to come back and do the whole thing again, all those five loops, because i would never have let it rest. i knew i only had a few minutes to get up that hill, sol i only had a few minutes to get up that hill, so i ended up sprinting at the end of it. after 60 hours of running through the forest, which felt really hard! i did it for me, and i am super happy that i achieved what i set out to do after the three years of trying but i am also really glad that i kind of did it for women worldwide as well, notjust runners, but maybe any woman that wants to

take on a challenge and maybe doesn't have the confidence and the idea that i might have inspired them to believe in themselves and have a 90, to believe in themselves and have a go, that's huge, yeah. and especially all the young girls, how hard it is to keep young girls in sport, so that's fantastic if i might have inspired some people to keep at it. this is a kind of project of multiple years, and i really felt this year that i could do it. i had a really strong sense of self belief, and i think that's what kept me going. the estimates of how long it was going to take me to get back from certain places, i never should have made it. i think some adrenalinejust never should have made it. i think some adrenaline just came out last weekend carried may onwards. yes, i reallyjust believed it was possible. it's amazing. i'm really looking forward to getting back to see the kids tomorrow and picking them up from school and nursery and giving them a really big hug. well—deserved! almost enough to make me just off trainers. almost!

and there's plenty of build—up to wales' euro 202a playoff against poland too. you can hear from the welsh camp in sportsday at 6:30 right here on bbc news. the wesbite and app your best bet in the interim. until then, thanks for watching. bye— bye. you are watching bbc news. i am lewis bornjones. the uk's deputy prime minister, oliver dowden, is expected to tell mps later today that hackers linked to china were behind a cyber attack on the electoral commission. the british government says it's time to "call out" attacks aimed at undermining democracy. mr dowden is expected to tell parliament that china is behind a wave of cyber—attacks against mps and peers critical of beijing. china is also believed to have accessed the personal details of a0 million voters in a hack of the election watchdog.

the bbc understands other western nations will set out similar concerns. uk prime minister rishi sunak says the government is taking action to protect the country. our position is that china has been behaving in an increasingly authoritarian position abroad and at home and it represents a growing challenge of the greater state —based threat to our security, so it's right we take measures to protect ourselves, which is what we are doing. to give specific examples, we using our new national investment powers to block investment powers to block investment in china into sensitive technology like semiconductors, our captain on national security act and others means we can take any steps we need to. we have removed huawei, for example, from our telecoms network and we will always do what is required to keep our country safe. live now to central london. three mps who have apparently been

impacted by these cyber attacks are
