the crowdfunding root and are pro sports pages is one part of a bigger fundraising effort. we have guys who working on budgets, a lot of conversations with people in our networks because ultimately they so many they need to come in a combination if we can afford at this for time moving forward to create a world —class for time moving forward to create a world—class programme that i can actually support the players as full time at the least. so that we can go and be in amongst the metals and tokyo. we had a really good response to our crowdfunding efforts. super grateful to everybody that has reached out and hopefully that will really drive things forward. let's return to our main story. the impact of the latest coronavirus restrictions on sports. more than 100 sport and leisure leaders had written to borisjohnson calling for a sports recovery fund to help them through the pandemic. one of the first people to sign that letter was paralympic legend baroness tanni grey thompson. very pleased to say it she joins us now. welcome to the programme. assuming you've seen the arts and culture recovery fund of 1.5 billion and thought sport should get the same — why? yes, we are in difficult times, we have to recognise that, i think if you look at the beginning of the pandemic him everybody welcome hospitality and tourism sector getting a 5% reduction down. but some sectors didn't get that and is uniquely placed. i understand with the prime minister is saying to think about the economy but the leisure sector helps build the economy and think about the health of the nation which is incredibly important right now. with lots of things that are going gone, the sector has just been sort of forgotten and all the discussions in the base. how precarious would say the base. how precarious would say the industry is in, and how precarious is the situation? very precarious. 35% of local leisure provision is not open. there is a printer to the 4a8% of local provision to disappear, we cannot keep going. —— there is a chance to 48%. not all of the centres are in place where people that make a significant number of them are. the people who you want to be physically active are going to struggle even more. in total, look at the sector has 600,000 people working it. maybe because it is not immediately the scale of some of the sectors, people don't necessarily realise the impact this can have on the health of our nation. it has massive long—term implications for the help of everybody. he recently tweeted that the nhs, there were the opportunity to save the nhs money, how do you work that out? it works out and about £250 million a year. when you ta ke about £250 million a year. when you take into account the social impact, looking get some numbers which include crime reduction, better academic attainment, satisfaction, thatis academic attainment, satisfaction, that is actually 3.8 billion, so there are a lot of money that can be saved in the system if people are able to be carry on being active. and actually within the leisure provision, there is track and trace. you cannot get in without a pass, your name your address, and trace. you cannot get in without a pass, your name, your address come in to get smashed against are. we know who is in the system, we looked at 1600 sites, 25 million visits, only 73 cases of people who have come in with coronavirus. the risk is really small. so it is always a difficult balance between risk and everything else you're looking at but actually this is the sector that can step up and makea this is the sector that can step up and make a difference. thank you so much for your time. time to update you. the women have lost to norway for a there. that's all from sportsday. we'll have more throughout the evening. -- it is —— it is full—time there. hello. you're watching bbc news with me ben brown. let's tell you about the us space agency nasa come out lighting a multibillion—dollar plan to return to the moon by the year 2024. to return to the moon by the year 202a. such the first mission to have a century. as part of the programme, named artemis a test flight without astronauts will be conducted in a chair followed by a astronauts will be conducted in a chairfollowed by a man astronauts will be conducted in a chair followed by a man and a loop around the moon in 2023. the project will culminate in a landing mission to the lunar surface with a male and a female astronaut. but the plan depends on congress releasing around $3 billion for nasa to build a landing vehicle by 202a. joining me now to talk about this is alice bunn, international director at the uk space agency. it sounds very exciting. i returned to the moon and the idea of the first woman on the moon. —— a return to the moon. absolutely. really amazingly exciting. the uk is really involved. we are participating to our membership of the european space agency. we have art eyes set on some really key roles for the uk, will be providing deep space communications, we targeted communication so that will be a good fit, the capability to refuel the lunar gateway, not just a fancy petrol pump come if we had the capability to refuel then you have the capability to do all sorts of things. like fix things whenever they break. and also lending a role on the cargo land there, so that is the spacecraft that will go from the lunar gateway,
