The Cyclistjess Varnish Has told the bbc she feels she was Thrown Under The Bus after making allegations of sexism in the sport. A leaked report, published in the daily mail, Claims British Cycling Sanitised its own inquiry into the claims. The olympian told the bbcs sports editor, dan roan, she believed the truth was finally coming out. Representing great britain, jess varnish she is the medal winner who became a whistleblower. Jess varnishs allegations of sexism last year plunged British Cycling into crisis. It has been really hard. Ive been really low. Nothing has been in control, everything has been out of my control. Out of my control. I had nobody to turn to within the organisation. I was just sort of left on my own. Coach shane sutton, who dropped varnish from the squad for the rio olympics last year, was found to have used sexist language towards her, but was cleared of eight of nine allegations against her. He resigned, but denies wrongdoing. According to a draft report of an investigation leaked to the daily mail, findings of an internal review into varnishs allegations were reversed by British Cyclings board. I am relieved that the truth is coming out. I have been pulled from pillar to post just to get this, and to see that it was a cover up is huge. In a statement, British Cycling admitted it did not pay sufficient care and attention to the well being of staff, but it said that reforms were under way. Those people who say it is sour grapes because you werent selected for rio, you will have heard those arguments, whats your response to that . When people say its bitterness, thats all they have to say about me. If people knew me and saw what i was doing with my life and how i have turned things around, they would know the truth. They would know that im not bitter at all. Should shane sutton work in Cycling Coaching again . From my experiences, no. Varnish says she is now considering whether to sue British Cycling for unfair dismissal. Her fight for justice continues. The world is facing its biggest humanitarian crisis since 1945, with more than 20 Million People at risk of starvation and famine. Thats according to the United Nations humanitarian chief, stephen obrien, who has pleaded for help for people in yemen, somalia, south sudan and nigeria. Andy moore reports. A child called fatima. She lives in yemen, where two thirds of the population need food aid, and Seven Million are hungry. The United Nations has been told the famine across four countries is now the biggest crisis for the organisation since it was founded in 1945. We stand at a critical point in our history. Already, at the beginning of the year, we are facing the largest humanitarian crisis since the creation of the United Nations. Now, more than 20 Million People across four countries face starvation and famine. In south sudan, more than one million children are acutely malnourished, and there is a Cholera Outbreak to deal with as well. The un says billions of dollars is needed from the International Community to feed the hungry, but so far only a fraction of that money has got through. The overall requirement for south sudan this year stands at 1. 6 billion us. As of now, we have received 9. 3 of that amount, and more funding is urgently needed. Some food aid is being delivered. The United Nations says famine can be averted, but the world needs to dig deep into its pockets, right now.

But thousands of those tickets will not be going to fans. Instead, theyre being purchased by bots. Used by professional touts, the software can grab hundreds of tickets in one go. Within hours, they end up on secondary websites for hundreds if not thousands of pounds more than face value. This is currently legal, but now the government is taking action. Now touts who use this software will face unlimited fines, while resale sites will face harsher measures if they do not prove they are taking action to deal with the touts. It is hoped these measures will curb the growing power of secondary websites and make it easier for genuine fans to get their hands on a reasonably priced ticket.

Nearly a year since allegations of sexism first began to emerge a leaked draft report has this week delivered a damning indictment of British Cycling. Now the original whistle blower, jess varnish, has called for the entire board to resign. She spoke to the bbcs dan roan in her first broadcast interview and the daily mails Sports CorrespondentMartha Kelner who joins us now. Good morning to you. Morning. First of all, whatjess is saying in the interview is incredibly strong. Shes saying the whole system is wrong should be got rid of. Yeah, i think shes justified for having those views. Theyre quite serious allegations that are made in this lea ked allegations that are made in this leaked report which the daily mails seen. They say that there was a separate investigation into claims of sexism Thatjess Varnish made against herformer of sexism Thatjess Varnish made against her former coach, which of sexism Thatjess Varnish made against herformer coach, which he resigned over. This draft report says that the findings of the original report were Notjust Sanitised but the findings were reversed. So this is a huge cover up. You can understand her saying that she thinks the entire British Cycling board, which rubber stamped that cover up, should go. She has had afairold that cover up, should go. She has had a fair old time of it. She was the person who put her head above the person who put her head above the parapet to start with. Yes, i saw her yesterday along with dan roan. She was saying exactly a year ago today since she was let go from the British Cycling elite performance programme. Shed been there 11 years. She was a Potential Medallist going to rio. Within a space of a week her life fell apart. She decided to speak out and she has, you know, its emboldened other people who were in the system to speak out. Its created the debate about elite sport basically and what you have to do to get the best out of your athletes. You mention the issue of the cover up, which is in many stories, sometimes becomes a bigger story than the original problem. From what you understand from this report are individuals named in relation to the cover up . Not in relation to the cover up. But the board, it was a uk sport funded investigation. The board said that they believe from what they have read that the findings of the original report into jess read that the findings of the original report intojess varnishs claims of sexism and discrimination against shane sutton were not sanitised they were reversed. thats the case, is it tenable, jess was asked the question, can those people remain in their roles for the sport to have any kind of legitimacy, what do you think . personally agree with jess. I legitimacy, what do you think . personally agree withjess. I think the positions of that board is untenable. Because British Cycling is, make no bones about it, its a sport in crisis. The mp Damien Collins said it was in tatters. More so collins said it was in tatters. More so than that, i think this board does have to go because they want to move into this era of transparency and change. If youve got people who have allegedly have done something as serious as a cover up have allegedly have done something as serious as a cover up then how can you move forward . Do you know, do you have any insight about what is going on in British Cycling at the moment . Whats the atmosphere like within the team now . Go back a few years, like within the team now . Go back a few yea rs, to like within the team now . Go back a few years, to the london olympics, those glorious, fantastic days in the velodrome, when everybody was so, you know, the mood was incredible, everybody so happy. Whats it like there now . From what i hear its a bit of a bizarre atmosphere. Youve got the new chair jonathan browning, who briefed the riders last week about a 39 point plan to move forward, but then obviously, hes been dragged back into this crisis from the leaked report. I think its an odd situation because you do have British Cycling from a performance Point Of View and medal Point Of View. Theyve done fantastically well. We dominated in rio as we did in london and beijing before that. You have that on one hand. But i believe you can have an environment where some people flourish, but others feel like this draft report said, some people are traumatised by their experience. There i dont think the two ideas are mutually exclusive. You can have good Medal Performances and have happy athletes. Doesnt suit everybody. Exactly. Youre here as a journalist, not as someone involved on either side. But the issue you we re on either side. But the issue you were raising there, there will be people watching this thinking, you know what, we were all celebrating when British Cycling did so well. We knew it was a tough regime. They boasted of their meticulous detail they went into, there will be a thought process, notwithstanding the terrible things that have maybe happened to individuals, if you want success , happened to individuals, if you want success, there are certain things that you wouldnt otherwise have to accept in ordinary work place thats are different in those environments. What do you make of that kind of argument . Yeah, i think it is an interesting debate. I think its important that it does come to fruition. I think, important that it does come to fruition. Ithink, as important that it does come to fruition. I think, as i said, you can have both. You can have an environment where athletes are happy but also performing well. Jess said she obviously has had many things levelled at her, predominantly that shes bitter and thats why shes speaking out. She was in the programme for 11 years. She says she is tough. She is a hard worker. You dont survive for 11 years if youre particularly weak. I should say before we let you go, we have a statement from British Cycling. The board of British Cycling is wholly committed to embracing the draft recommendations and findings of the review has already drawn up a detailed action plan in response to the whole thing. The board may disagree with the factual accuracy of certain points in the independent review. It believes the sport is best served by driving forward the action plan. Well see. Yeah, martha, thank you very much for joining us. Its 8. 15 exactly. Lets look at the weather. Louise has the details. Hi there. Half an hour ago i had two Weather Watcher pictures down to the south. Dont want to be accused of being south seb trick, so this is in the north. This is cloudy and theres some outbreaks of rain in scotla nd theres some outbreaks of rain in scotland as we speak. Different story in kent. The sunshine is already up and youll probably see the best of the weather and the warmth today. The reason being for the two contrasts is this Weather Front into the north west. It is going to drift steadily southwards through the morning. Weaken off considerably as well. An improving picture into the far north by 9am. You could see sunshine later on. Showery, drizzly rain into Northern Ireland. Eventually into the isle of man through the latter stages of the morning. At 9am, cloud across Northern England down into the midlands and into the south west. But its mild with it. In actual Fa Ct A Cross but its mild with it. In actual fact across england and wales its going to be a mild day generally. Best of the sunshine likely to be down into the south east. Temperatures will respond. Cloud nibbling away really up into the midlands. Brighter, Sunnier Skies into the afternoon. 17 degrees the high, 63 fahrenheit. OurWeather Front by then a band of drizzle, a nuisance. That means that for much of the Sporting Events taking place, its perfect Weather Conditions light winds, dry with sunshine coming through. Pleasant enough, 15 degrees at twickenham this afternoon. There could be drizzle around for the middlesbrough match. Kickoff at lunch time. But arsenal, lincoln for the 6th round fa cup should be dry with some sunshine. Overnight we might see more rain arriving. It will be cloudy. Therell be coastal and hill fog. Showery rain for a time. Another Weather Front by the end of the night pushing into the west. That brings heavier rain. Mild night, not a cold one at all. But these two Weather Fronts almost merging together on sunday. So however you look at it, it is going to be a miserable start to the second half of the weekend. Some rain around. The rain pushing in from the west, it gradually moves steadily eastwards. That means improvement for Northern Ireland, for western scotland, wales and South West England. Sunny spells and scattered showers into the afternoon. But a different day for the south east in comparison to today with 17 degrees, 10 to 13 at the very best. And the rain could linger all day. Back to you two. 0h, you two. Oh, dear louise. Thank you. For 50 years the laws on Abortion Have remained unchanged, meaning a woman must have the consent of two doctors to end her pregnancy. Under those rules a woman who takes a pill at home could potentially face life imprisonment. Now a labour mp is calling for the legislation to be updated.
