and — we meet yahya pandor, into the record books after completing a marathon first on the streets of manchester, i want people to see from this that no obstacle is too big and it's not just about running. it's about life in general. hello there — and welcome along to the programme. it's been an action packed few days in the premier league, and there was no letting up on monday night at stamford bridge. chelsea scored six past everton — with their star player cole palmer in devastating form — scoring four of them. palmer scored the fastest hat—trick for chelsea in the premier league — three goals inside the first 30 minutes and a penalty in the second half. nicolas jackson and a late alfie gilchrist goal completing the famous win — but the night was all about palmer.

he's now the league's joint top scorer — with 20 goals — level with erling haaland. eight games unbeaten now for chelsea. for everton — the 6—0 defeat is their biggest loss of the season — and they stay just two points above the relegation zone. they were very clinical in front of the goal and we scored six and yes, so happy, clean sheet. yes, too many positive things. yes. happy with the performance and with the three points. that is in the way that we want to be and with a good spirit. and now only we need to reproduce the same performance today. miles off the intent and desire to win or fall match inequality, of course, but the underbelly of a performance. you have to give strength. you have to tackle. you have to anticipate. you have to do the hard yards of the game. and we weren't prepared to do that, especially first off, obviously, i thought we were mildly slightly better second half.

but the first was miles off where you need to be in the premier league. meanwhile . everton have lodged a formal appeal against their second spending rules, which will be heard "urgently , and a decision made before the end of the season. the toffees had a 10—point deduction reduced to six on appeal in february. there were concerns the appeal could drag on beyond the end of this season, but the premier league have confirmed this won't be the case. a big moment forfans of this man — rafael nadal — who makes his return to the clay on tuesday — at the barcelona open. the 22—time grand slam champion confirmed his participation — having pulled out of this year's australian open injanuary with a hip injury and missing atp events at indian wells and monte carlo. nadal — who's dropped to world number 644, will take on italian flavio cobolli — in his first match on clay since winning the french open two years ago, but wouldn't be drawn on whether he'd make this year's roland garros. i can't give you an injury date because the list is long. and i just want to think

about what can happen. i only can tell you that, today i feel myself enough go to be on call tomorrow. and that for me is so important, means a lot to me to be able to play one more time here in barcelona. meanwhile, britain's jack draper has won his round of 32 match at the bmw open in munich. he beat vit kopshiva of the czech republic over three sets, winning 6-1, 5-7, 6-4... and claims his 50th atp tour victory in the process. derek underwood, one of england and kent's greatest ever bowlers, has died at the age of 78. the left—armer took 297 wickets in 86 tests between 1966 and 1982 the most by any england spinner. he claimed 2,465 wickets in 676 first—class matches overall.

uk athletics has announced a newjoint venture with organisers of the london marathon and the great north run — to help tackle a financial crisis in the sport. the governing body made record losses of nearly four million pounds last year. they hope the partnership will help protect future growth and help them deliver on major events. we believe this sport, track and field athletics linked to running should be massive and right up there. and this investment is going to give us a chance to do that. if we didn't have it, we would be stepping back. we would be battening down the hatches and we would not be realising the ambition. so this is us making a move to really get the sport back to where we believe it can be. we've started to turn the corner, so the finances are much better. they're much tighter. we made some tough calls. we're on a path to break even, and then eventually get back into profit. so this is up side. the sport's a crossroads. so this is a crossroads move

because what this is, this is us making a move to get back to where we collectively believe this sport should be. i must ask about the controversial recall to the world relay squad, jack, because obviously he's failed drugs test cost team gb a silver in tokyo. is it one that you wrestled with, and how do you justify it? so these are really difficult situations. let's not get away from it. it's a really, really tough situation. often in the past, the relay team, it's been up and down and bounced around. but the bottom line is, if he's there as an individual, he's in the relay squad. so, we need to plan for every scenario. so, if he makes the individual team, he's in the relay squad and we would have to adapt to that. so we would rather plan, get it all out there, get everyone ready, have the difficult conversations.

they've all forgiven him, have they then now because obviously richard kilty said he would neverforgive him. so is that is that i can't comment on the specific thing, but richard's out there training with him, with the squad now as we speak and and addressing it. and, you know, that's and nobody wants to be in that situation. but we have a responsibility to plan for any scenario. and a scenario is c] there as an individual, and richards there. and so we need to be ready for that and not facing that in paris. so we need to prep for it and just do everything we can to get on top of that and work through the different alternatives. 30,000 runners took part in the manchester marathon on sunday, almost half of those were tackling the distance for the first time — one of them was yahya pandor, who is now a world record holder as well. he has become the first blind man, to officially complete a marathon without being physically tethered to a guide. he did have one, but only to give him verbal instructions. yayah, who is 28, lost his sight four years ago after being diagnosed with macular degeneration. olly foster spoke to him about his incredible achievement. i don't do things in half measures. if i do something, ijust go

in the deep end and go for it. i've done a couple of halves. they were tethered, but they went ok. so i thought, i really need something to motivate me and challenge me, and something that will hopefully either inspire others or get people to recognise and see being blind, partially sighted or have any form of disability isn't necessarily a barrier into doing anything if you want to. the challenge of doing that untethered. there are twists, there are turns. you're running alongside thousands of other runners. i'm not quite sure how you did that. you had your guide. talk us through the what he was saying to you and knowing how far right or left you had to turn at certain stages. so he was talking to me the entire way. so i had an anchoring via his voice, and every time we were turning left or right, he'd count me down, sort of five, four, three, two, one. and he'd, i'd say, keep closer

to me or move further away. and based on his voice, i'd have to try and judge where i was going. the route actually passed quite close to my house, and i popped down there. it was around the 24 or 25 mile mark. so you were almost there at that point and there were still, i thought it would be a lot more spread out. and i was getting an idea of just how tricky that must have been for you. were there any hairy moments at all? there were some real moments where the roads were quite narrow and i was slaloming between people, which is an added challenge. you know, my guide would be like, go a bit more left, quickly, come right, go left, slow down, speed up. and it was, you know, you needed quite quick reaction times to adapt to the situation. it's been an incredibly tough few years because you've lost your sight so quickly in the space of, what, four years? yeah. what do you hope can come out of this? i mean, because this will be an inspirational story. i know you've gone into counselling as well. for people with mental health issues. this will be so inspiring.

i'm sure you can use this for yourself and others. i hope so. i want people to see from this that no obstacle is too big and it's not just about running. it's about life in general. it's seeing those obstacles, finding ways around it, using the support around you. because this wasn't a one man mission, i wouldn't have been able to do it without my guide. my family, my partner. what's next? i would love to do a skydive solo as the first blind person to jump out of a plane without the parachute. so if anyone can set me up with that, that would be awesome. a reminder of our top story — more drama from the premier league to bring you — as chelsea put six goals past everton in the monday night game at stamford bridge. cole palmer scored four of them, in a stunning performance — which puts them in reach of a top six finish come the end of the season. everton stay just two points above the relegation zone — after earlier learning their appeal against a second points deduction for breaking

the league's spending rules, will be heard urgently, with a decision before the end of the season. you can get all the latest sports news at from the bbc sport app, orfrom our website — that's bbc.com/sport. from me and the rest of the team at the bbc sport centre, goodbye. hello there. it was a very unsettled day on monday, very windy for many of us with widespread gales and a whole mixture of weather conditions. tuesday looks a little bit quieter. it'll still be quite blustery. there'll be sunshine, a few showers around, but it'll stay on the cool side for the time of year. in this cooler air mass, which was introduced across the uk by monday's area of low pressure, will be sitting to the east of the country for tuesday.

so it's here where we'll see most of the showers, the strongest of the winds, the further west you are, closer to this area of high pressure, then it'll be a little bit quieter. so we start off on a chilly note for tuesday morning. quite a bit of sunshine around. a few showers from the word go across northern and eastern areas, and these showers will affect northern scotland, wintriness on the hills. into the afternoon, some heavier showers, perhaps some hail and thunder affecting the midlands into southeast england. and a fairly breezy day to come, not as windy as monday — those are mean wind speeds. temperature wise, probably a little bit better than monday, up to 13 celsius in the south. so with some light winds, some sunshine, it won't feel too bad, but cooler along north sea coasts, single digits there. tuesday night, we continue to see clear spells, further bands of showers, especially across northern scotland, where it'll turn quite windy again and stay cool as well with some snow on the hills there. touch of frost in some sheltered glens, otherwise, it's quite a chilly night, i think, to start wednesday morning. so wednesday itself, we'll have some showers draped across eastern areas.

these weather fronts may bring some cloud and rain to the far west of the country. and once again, we're in a slightly cooler air mass. wednesday, could be a little bit cooler than tuesday. so we start off on a chilly note, plenty of sunshine around. there will be showers again across northern and eastern scotland, eastern england, more cloud here. and these weather fronts could bring cloud outbreaks of rain to northern ireland. a bit of a question mark to how far eastwards it moves, but it could affect parts of wales and south west england through the afternoon, the best and the brightest through the spine of the country. temperatures range of nine to ii or 12 celsius, so a bit below average. thursday into friday, we see a spell of wet, windy weather across the north of the uk, something drier in the south. and then this area of high pressure wants to build in in time for the weekend. so that will bring a very much needed quieter, drier spell of weather as we push towards the end of the week. and with a bit more sunshine around, light winds, it'll feel a bit warmer as well.
