for leeds united to be back in the premier league. it was the feeling of belonging that we belonged out here, and i think we are onlyjust beginning, and i think, you know, a lot of folks right now are just talking about that young hot starts club that just got to talking about that young hot starts club thatjust got to the premier league, but i think 3—4 years from now, we will look back on today and say that this was the beginning of something very special. the former olympic champion lord coe is calling for the return of park run, and other popular group sporting activities. the future of such events hangs in balance, with hundreds of venues yet to approve resumption next month — after being closed because of lockdown. our sports correspondent andy swiss has more. remember this?

three, two, one! whistle. parkrun, pre—pandemic, when every week thousands of people at hundreds of places around the country would run simply for fun. but now its resumption is under threat. parkruns need permission from local councils and landowners, but getting it in the wake of covid is proving a challenge. it's just impossible. it is literally impossible to have 600, 700, 800 conversations with individual local authorities and negotiate to get parkrun back on a single date all in one go. at the moment, less than half of parkrun�*s venues have granted permission. the local government association say the pent—up demand for event means councils have received about 600% more applications than normal, including from parkrun. councils need to carefully consider all requests to make sure everyone involved can take part safely. commentator: and there goes coe. but others are unimpressed, including lord coe, once olympic champion, now the head of world athletics and a parkrunner himself. i really do hope local authorities can cut through this bureaucratic swamp. i do worry that unless we get this

up and running pretty quickly, and to the right critical mass, the 80 or 90%, it is going to be difficult for this to resume. among those waiting and hoping isjodie binch, who before covid organised a parkrun in nottinghamshire, and told me that now the benefits would be even greater. because we've spent so much time behind closed doors and not being able to get out, i think it's really important that we're able to get the community back together, the elderly back out there, volunteering and meeting up with people. the runners are the same, people are able to volunteer, and ijust think it is really important that we get it back up off the ground. being active is more important than ever, and most grassroots sports have been back for weeks now. the question is whether one of the biggest participation events of all can get up and running. andy swiss, bbc news. with less than 100 days until the start of the paralympics, today has seen the first session of a ground—breaking programme aimed at introducing people

with or without a disability to wheelchair basketball. it's hoped the " inspire a generation�* scheme will be a significant moment for the sport, and it comes with royal approval as adam wild reports. at this basketball court in north london, they are aiming high. the project is called inspire a generation, a big target, the benefits could be even bigger. a programme such as inspire a generation should help lift the nation in the sense that we are bringing local opportunities to participate, to volunteer, to coach, to upscale, to benefit your health and provide a social opportunity for people to get out. that's going to have a massive impact. people over the last 14 months have had a really difficult time. the last14 months have had a really difficult time.— the last 14 months have had a really difficult time.— difficult time. more than one and a half million — difficult time. more than one and a half million pounds _ difficult time. more than one and a half million pounds is _ difficult time. more than one and a half million pounds is being - half million pounds is being invested on courses such as this, introducing a generation to wheelchair basketball. the project begins at a crucial time, surveys

have shown, for the carpet lockdown brought with it a market decline in physical activity, brought with it a market decline in physicalactivity, —— brought with it a market decline in physical activity, —— marked decline, physically disabled people mostly affected, civilly put, those who could benefit the most of have the least access to it. but it is hoped that that decline can be reversed, and if it's inspiration that's needed, well, it's less than 100 days until the paralympic due to begin. with great britain's men and women ranked amongst the very best in the world. i think is participating with other people, like even if you are disabled, able—bodied, it isjust so great that you are on a level playing field and you can just have fun with your friends, really. because i am actually a wheelchair usei’i _ because i am actually a wheelchair user. so_ because i am actually a wheelchair user. so it's — because i am actually a wheelchair user, so it's like, i do quite like sports. — user, so it's like, i do quite like sports. so — user, so it's like, i do quite like sports. so it— user, so it's like, i do quite like sports, so it was like, it is a goodm _ sports, so it was like, it is a goodm it's_ sports, so it was like, it is a good... it's good to take part. it good... it's good to take part. shows good... it's good to take part. it shows equality and how people are able to _ shows equality and how people are able to try— shows equality and how people are

now, all this week on bbc sport, we're looking at the potential impact of climate change on sports events. particularly, how things could look three decades from now. golf is a sport that could be massively affected, with coastal links courses facing the threat of disappearing into the sea. sarah mulkerrins has this report now on the battle to save scottish golf courses. it's the fifth longest golf course in the world. it's been here for 159 years. but we have got issues. john adams is the _ years. but we have got issues. john adams is the former _ years. but we have got issues. john adams is the former chairman of this golf club. what we have lost is about 30 metres of fairway since 2007, it was fairway, it's now beach. this course is fallin: fairway, it's now beach. this course is falling into _ fairway, it's now beach. this course is falling into the _ fairway, it's now beach. this course is falling into the sea, _ fairway, it's now beach. this course is falling into the sea, and - fairway, it's now beach. this course is falling into the sea, and that - is falling into the sea, and that process is accelerating. i'm fearful, i want people to come and play here, it is a great course. so wired some of these historic

amount that's almost 4000 uk households would use over same period. sustainable waterbury —— sustainable water use is essential in some courses are changing. this one in spain now recycles its water from the local treatment works. st andrew's has provided over golf�*s long and storied history, but in the here and now, the governing body are focused on its future, with an initiative called golf course 2030. we are asking golf clubs and golfers, the whole golf community to be more aware of the issues. the research arm of the education for the communications that will come out of the golf course, we need golf facilities to put all of that into practice. so it's the club decision—makers, the club managers, the green keepers, they all need to be aware of the work that's coming out of this. put it into practice on golf courses and hopefully we will all see the rewards with a game that is thriving in 50 years time. but courses -- _

the riding a dream academy, named after a film about her story, aims to help young people from under—represented urban areas pursue a career in racing. miriam walker khan has spoken to her. is getting there with every stride on the near side. it is getting there with every stride on the near side.— is getting there with every stride on the near side. it was a defining moment when _ on the near side. it was a defining moment when then _ on the near side. it was a defining moment when then teenager - on the near side. it was a defining moment when then teenager won | on the near side. it was a defining - moment when then teenager won the magnolia cup at glorious good web. all the more remarkable, considering she had taken a crash course and jockey shipjust to she had taken a crash course and jockey ship just to be there. my jockey ship just to be there. my life has changed immeasurably. by just one idea and one person deciding to give a random individual and opportunity, and ijust happen to be me. i am beyond grateful and lucky. to be me. i am beyond grateful and luc . , .. , , ., , to be me. i am beyond grateful and luc. ,, ., lucky. her success has led to the creation of _ lucky. her success has led to the creation of an _ lucky. her success has led to the creation of an academy - lucky. her success has led to the creation of an academy offering l lucky. her success has led to the | creation of an academy offering a year—long scholarship programme and a residential training week at the british racing school. the aim is to give teenagers from disadvantaged communities the opportunity to get into racing. setting up a scholarship, for me, is like carrying on this incredible journey and sort of handing down the

baton, allowing other people to have the same euphoric feeling i had racing in the magnolia cup. she learned to _ racing in the magnolia cup. she learned to ride _ racing in the magnolia cup. she learned to ride at ebony horse club in brixton and its patron and racing presenter produced a documentary about herjourney presenter produced a documentary about her journey and presenter produced a documentary about herjourney and co—founded the academy. i had my first horse race this morning. enacted you? there is nothin: morning. enacted you? there is nothing like _ morning. enacted you? there is nothing like writing _ morning. enacted you? there is nothing like writing horses, - morning. enacted you? there is - nothing like writing horses, perhaps we will— nothing like writing horses, perhaps we will see — nothing like writing horses, perhaps we will see some jockeys of the future _ we will see some jockeys of the future writing and grand nationals like rachel blackmore or derbies like rachel blackmore or derbies like frankie victoria, and if that is something that comes of the academy, then i would certainly be incredible _ academy, then i would certainly be incredible proud of everything that ebony— incredible proud of everything that ebony and the dream academy is able to achieve _ ebony and the dream academy is able to achieve. . . , ebony and the dream academy is able to achieve. .. , ., ., to achieve. racing is one of the most exclusive _ to achieve. racing is one of the most exclusive sports, - to achieve. racing is one of the most exclusive sports, but - to achieve. racing is one of the | most exclusive sports, but those to achieve. racing is one of the - most exclusive sports, but those in charge are determined to make it more inclusive, and that is what to make centres like ebony and similar places across the uk so important. it's hoped that her story will inspire more children like

feature through the night tonight and into tomorrow as well. this low pressure slowly drifting its way steadily eastwards. the strongest of the winds first thing tomorrow morning will be further south, unseasonably strong winds with gusts across the channel posts a 50—60 mph, similar values towards the bristol channel and still some strong winds once again bombarding west wales as well. that is going to drive and some wet weather as the low pressure continues to track slowly eastwards. we will see an improving picture gradually across northern ireland, northwest england and western scotland into the afternoon. blustery winds for all, though, even away from the south and thatis though, even away from the south and that is going to make it feel cool and disappointing for this time of year — top temperatures of 7—14 some excesses. lighterwinds year — top temperatures of 7—14 some excesses. lighter winds for the start of the weekend, something a little drier and a little brighter. that said, take care. —— that's it, take care.

hello, i'm lewis vaughanjones, this is 0utside source. the bbc apologises after a highly critical report into how it obtained this explosive interview with princess diana 25 years ago. well, there were three of us in this marriage. so it was a bit crowded. an independent inquiry finds journalist martin bashir was deceitful and faked documents to obtain the scoop. and now princess diana's brother is linking her death in paris to the interview. the irony is that i met martin bashir on 31 august, 1995, because exactly two years later, she died. and i do draw a line between the two events.
