it is you given it much point? it is something i've had drummed into me since the beginning of my career. my coach always said education is very important. sport doesn't last forever. always be thinking and building contacts and taking the opportunities and experiences you can. it's something i've always tried to do but it has never been that structured until today. it has helped to build connections better and by listening to other athletes who been there and done that, helps you put together when sport is all over how you might build a future. catherine, you had extended your career because you had goals who wa nted career because you had goals who wanted to achieve. you know about the dedication and sacrifice that hannah is going through. but then it all stops. how do you ask those athletes to prepare for something they don't understand yet? exactly

what you said. it stops. it doesn't matter what your career was like. it will at some point end and that is quite a hard thing to confront because you ca re quite a hard thing to confront because you care about it and it matters to you and you are defined by it and it is however one sees you. it will end at some point. these road shows that we have been doing is to get athletes into the mindset that it is ok to think about life beyond. you can still do it while you're still an athlete and it will not detract from being an athlete and might enhance it. you will be ok. there is more to be done. having hanna and athletes who have been through it already, it's a great experience for current athletes to hear how others have ove i’co [ti e athletes to hear how others have overcome the challenges. you have spent a lot of time training in your life. the thought of free training in something else, do you use

experience and say you can do that or do you think, not again? it's exciting to challenge yourself and build yourself. you never stop training and relearning what you are doing. you always try and improve as an athlete. actually going on to another career. it's a natural progress. you're just going to learn a new skill. it's exciting but at the same time scary. one day, the whole thing is to stop. this comes in the context of a time when we discuss athlete welfare are not, particularly during their careers. stories of bullying and mismanagement of the people and not just the athletic prowess they display. is this another string to the bow, these athletes are notjust people we assume will be brilliant throughout and when they stop being brilliant, we shot them down the road and leave them to be. it's

seeing them as a human being and a person with their own individual challenges and concerns and doubts and fears and ambitions and fears. will you are dealing with really complicated people. this is notjust athletes and people with serious leadership roles within sport, it is listening to that person and making sure they are safe and comfortable and challenged in a great way while they are still in that competitive environment. will they be equally healthy outside that environment? it is making sure the experience during and after sport is as positive as it can be. you could always go into sports administration? i'm currently after your role, watch your back! albie couple of years! thank you for joining us. kath grainger and hannah cockroft on trying something new and finally to some golfers who if they're thinking about trying something new.

they've discovered that a different sport might not be the best idea. five of the world's best ditched clubs for rackets and had a go at badminton. some took to it quicker than others. here's dustinjohnson. oops. he's not used to hitting a moving target. have another go, dustin. nope. oh, well. others fared a bit better. rory mcilroy hit one as high as one of his 300—yard drives. tojohnson. oh dear. that's all from sportsday. good night. let's get more now on our top story and the us security service says it has intercepted two suspicious packages sent to the homes of former president barack obama and the former secretary of state, hillary clinton.

separately, the headquarters of the broadcaster, cnn, in new york was evacuated after a suspicious device was sent to the building. we can see some live pictures now from new york. a very large police presence there, as they continue to investigate this ongoing situation and these multiple devices which have been described as crude but functional pipe bombs. they've also been described as an act of terrorism. our correspondent samira hussain is in new york. what have the authority ‘s been saying? they have just ended a press conference a short while ago. they had the mayor of new york city, the governor of new york and the head of the new york city police all speaking here. they did refer to this as an act of terror. to give you a sense of where we are, i'm

right outside the cnn buildings where they found one of those bombs. they have just reopened the building and part of the street but there is still quite a large police presence around me. they have taken the device that they have found here and moved up town where the new york police department will be further investigating the device along with other federal authorities. they did find some white substance on the device and as a result, they still have the mail room in this building closed down because they want to see exactly what that powder is. whether or not it is something harmful. people talking about the highly charged political atmosphere in america. the fact that the middle terms are coming up. many of the people who have received the devices

are people who have been criticised by donald trump. what are people saying about that? it is difficult to be talking about this situation without referring to the fact that the middle term elections are just two weeks away. if you look at the people targeted, these are top ranking people from the democratic party. so, it is something that was talked about here at the press conference with the mayor and the governor. but it is something that really needs to be investigated and even hillary clinton who was out campaigning and made reference to what is happening saying they are really divisive times but also calling for unification. that is a calling for unification. that is a call your going to be hearing from people over the coming days. there isa people over the coming days. there is a lot of division in these vices times and the country really needs to come together. thank you very

much. live from new york. time for a look at the weather with susan powell. we've enjoyed a fine day across the uk. a little bit more cloud moving in from eastern parts now. the north—east of england remaining clearest as the hours go by. still a few clear spells in the south. a few missed patches first thing on thursday. the high end of single figures for temperatures this evening. more cloud around in general than we have seen today. starting to see some heavy rain into the north west of scotland by the end of the day. this weather front is critical to our change in the weather story towards the end of the week and the coming weekend. the

cold front will sink south into thursday. it will become much colder and we will develop a biting wind. you're watching beyond 100 days. suspicious devices sent to the homes of former presidents clinton and obama. and another device sent to the headquarters of cnn television in new york. that's four in all — today's devices follow a similar package sent yesterday to the home of liberal donor george soros. the white house and new york officials denounce the threats. what we saw here today was an effort to terrorise. this clearly is an act of terror. and the man whose bad language got him thrown out of the white house joins us to talk about the aggressive nature of today's politics. also on the programme. the murder ofjournalist jamal khashoggi — saudia arabia's crown prince salman finally speaks out and say those responsible will be brought tojustice.
