it would be a ground—breaking move, certainly one that the commonwealth games have never seen the likes of before. birmingham 2022 announced the sports in their programme last year and shooting and archery weren't included. they've been involved in every games bar one since 1966. but birmingham said they're foccused on trying to attract a younger and more diverse audience. these games are going to cost around £800 million as well — the most expensive event in the uk since the 2012 olympics. they're supposed to be an advert for britian post—brexit and an opportunity to facilitate trade deals. but india heard the news about shooting and archery and they threatend to pull out of the entire games. and that's all because of their rich history in the sports. in shooting alone, india won 16 medals in gold coast and overall they've won 134 — 63 of them gold. so they've proposed to host shooting

and archery events 4,000 miles away from birmingham. now, the events would take place in either new delhi or chandigar — four months before the actual games. and india have agreed to pay for the hosting of them, but still this obviously would create a whole host of logistical changes — ones that a lot federations previously wouldn't have planned for — but christian schofield, who was the team leader for england shooting at the last commonwealth games, told me it's definitely manageable. i think we have seen other sporting events taking place, the european games, in berlin and glasgow, scotland. i think there is a precedent set by that sporting event and we are also used to competing

all over the world. so i think these are not problems that are insurmountable. there may be difficulties but i am sure we can ove i’co m e difficulties but i am sure we can overcome them. well, we've already seen events moved to different locations with the olympics. surfing will be part of the france games in 2024, but it'll take place over 9,000 miles away in tahitii. that was done because organisers believe the waves will be better in the south pacific. but unlike shooting and archery, surfing was always part of the olympic programme in 2024, and some fear that this exception would be madejust because of india's political power. well, the change will be considered by the commonwealth games federation over the next few weeks. and if it's accepted, it'll be put to a full vote of the 71 member associations. so not confirmed yet, but we should hear more in the next month or so. let's quickly take you through some of the other stories catching our eye this tuesday.

england batsman rory burns will miss the series in sri lanka in march. he's flown home from south africa after injuring his ankle whilst playing football in training. he's had surgery on ruptured ligaments and will be out for up to four months. 0rganisers of this month's australian open say they do not expect ongoing bushfires to delay to the start of the tournament. officials say the health of fans, players and staff is their priority at all times, and the weather forecast is good. staying with the sport down under, and great britain will play the hosts, australia, in the atp cup quarterfinals. their 3—0 win over moldova, combined with belgium beating bulgaria, means tim henman‘s team topped their group and will face the hosts in sydney late tomorrow night. max verstappen has committed his future to red bull racing until 2023. he's spent most of his career with the team and appears to have ended speculation linking him with a potential move to mercedes or ferrari next year. and the number three seed, richard veenstra, is through to the last 16 of the bdo world darts championship

after beating england's justin hood 3—1 in london. now, imagine never having rowed a single stroke and then deciding to try and break the world record for the fastest female solo crossing of the atlantic ocean. well, that's exactly what victoria evans is aiming to do as she also looks to raise money for charity. i'm delighted to say that victoria joins us now. hello, victoria. why have you decided to take on this challenge? i found that sporting my own life has been a huge driver of positive change but there are plenty of barriers that still exist that it being accessible to all women and girls, soi being accessible to all women and girls, so i wanted to take on a challenge that provided a platform that allowed to leveraged the conversation around that and rowing

on your own provides that platform while also setting an example to eve ryo ne while also setting an example to everyone that if you put your mind to it anything is possible. what training have you been doing? i'm working with a personal trainer who has read the ocean himself so that comprises six sessions a week, strength training and rowing training, but my boat will be ready in february so i will be out on the water most weekends once that is complete. 50 water most weekends once that is complete. so you do not have the boat sorted yet, how much time will it take to prepare? it is early next year we are looking out for the event. probably leave endif every next year depending on the weather, and it takes approximately two and a half year to campaign from start to finish, so it's a lot of work! how confident of breaking the record? it is 49 days, seven hours, 15

minutes. anyone who takes on a sea —based record attempt would be naive to say that they are 100% confident because it is so weather dependent but i am doing everything within my capacity to make sure i am in the best place possible, so feeling good and then it is up to the atlantic to see whether it wants to play ball! fingers crossed, hopefully the next few months of training are very well for you. and before we go, modern cricket is pretty good — lights, razmatazz, fireworks. the stump mic can be useful too, but also its pitfalls. oh no! this is lancashire's liam livingstone playing in the australian big bash, wearing one where no man wants to. it's always funny when it doesn't happen to you. he made a half century in a winning performance so didn't seem to affect him too much.

thanks forjoining us on sportsday. plenty more here on bbc news throughout the evening. hope to see you then. hackers are holding foreign exchange company travelex to ransom after a cyber attack that forced the firm to turn off all computer systems and do work by hand. it's emerged that, on new years eve, hackers infiltrated parts of their network, forcing the company to take down its websites. the hackers are now demanding payment in exchange for either restoring the computer systems or preserving customer data. let's talk now to the editor of the journal of cyber policy, emily taylor. can you explain to me how does a

company like travelex be held to ransom? unfortunately, it is all too easy because we are all reliant on these technologies, and an organisation as large and complex as travelex will have very distributed networks, be running lots of different software, and so there are very many points of vulnerability. the three things that an organisation should be planning for art to make sure it is patching softwa re art to make sure it is patching software to remove vulnerabilities as they become fixable, and also to have back—ups in remote places so they are not all available on the same network, and also as we see very sadly unfolding for travelex plan for a crisis. at this stage,

nobody can ever be 100% secure but when the worst happens, how do you communicate with your customers, how do you communicate with the authorities, and how do you fix the problem at a technical level? in your view, was this a highly targeted attack or somewhat random? is difficult to say. software has vulnerabilities and sue anybody running that software will be a possible target, but one thing that has emerged over the last couple of hours is that the hackers are a p pa re ntly hours is that the hackers are apparently saying they were on travelex's system for six months before the attack. if a bad actor is sitting on your network not doing much it can be difficult to detect them but at the same time that points to a more targeted attack. what dated then could be at risk? u nfortu nately, what dated then could be at risk? unfortunately, a lot. what we are

hearing is that five gigabits of data has been expelled treated and is in the hands of the hackers, and includes things like credit card details, dates of birth, social security numbers and pins them back to individuals so very sensitive indeed, the scope for financial harm is wide indeed. so how unusual is this? how vulnerable our companies to this kind of attack? from what you are saying it sounds pretty vulnerable. companies are vulnerable and one of the frustrations that professionals in the cybersecurity area have is that companies still believe that this is something that happens to other people, they do not need to take it as seriously they do. unfortunately, you can never be 100% secure, but you could make

yourself a lot more difficult to hack by taking some small and simple steps like regularly patching your software, training your staff, thinking about people and processes and really how you would recover from a major incident, and u nfortu nately from a major incident, and unfortunately organisation is not just travelex, it's easy to point the finger, how many organisations would cope better than travelex? that is something for everyone to reflect on this evening. thank you for your thoughts and insights. now it's time for a look at the weather with phil. hello. it really has been one of those days, especially so across northern britain. we've had a combination of very wet and very windy weather, and that should come as no surprise when you see the number of isobars liberally spread, particularly across the north, but it's been a blustery day,

even down into wales and parts of the southwest. sandwiched between the two weather fronts, the temperature is way above what we would expect for the time of year. more on that in a second. but, through the night and into wednesday, cooler, fresher conditions will dominate across the northern parts of britain, but through the night on into the first part of wednesday, the wind will still be a feature across northern britain and travel will continue to be affected. that's the sort of range of gusts we're expecting into the wee small hours. 40mph around about some of the welsh coasts, but then further north, 50—70mph. now, wherever you spent the day on tuesday, the temperatures all the way from scotland, down into the southwest of england, have been well above what we would expect for the time of year. but as i say, things are changing, as this weather front gradually works its way ever further towards the south. clearing the skies behind it, and underneath those clear skies, the temperatures beginning to dribble away, to the extent that some of these showers across the northwest of scotland could turn really quite wintry to lower levels and could deposit a couple of centimetres of snow. further south, no such issues. temperatures still stuck in double figures, and that's how you're going to start wednesday.

the isobars still quite tightly packed across the north of scotland. further south, they really do open up. so, nowhere near the sort of strength of wind. a rather still sort of day, if the truth were known. quite cloudy in the south. for northern ireland, the far north of england, much of scotland, you've got some sunshine to speak of. a much fresher feel to the day, despite the sunshine. still that noticeable west—south westerly wind across the north, and the temperatures here in single figures. temperatures in double figures further towards the south. the rain becomes a good deal more extensive as we move from wednesday on into thursday. thursday, a deal of doubt, yes, we've got a low pressure going from west to east right through the heart of the british isles, but if there are more isobars in there because of the centre is deeper, with regard to its pressure, the wind will be stronger. and that's why at the met office have already got a warning about the strength of the wind. potentially, come friday, a little ridge of high—pressure beginning to move in. so, thursday, the certainty is it will be very unsettled. could be very windy. friday we will be a much, much quieter day.

take care. bye— bye.

you're watching beyond one hundred days. international forces are starting to leave iraq as nato says its taking precautionary measures. the uk is still urging de—escalation but the ministry of defence has moved non essential personnel out of baghdad. in washington the trump administration is urging iran not to retaliate — but warning that if it does, america will hit back. we are not looking to start a war with iran. but we are prepared to finish one. in iran more than 50 people are killed in a stampede as mourners turn out for the burial of the military commander. iran's foreign minister says america will pay for the assasination. the action by the united states has consequences. the action by the united states has

consequences. that will happen, and i believe
