coming to the other side of the debate in a moment, we will hear from poulter and westwood now. but before then, phil mickelson who has just returned from a self imposed for absence from the game after he made controversial comments about the saudi backers of the event, calling them scary. he also had some criticisms of the pga tour, accusing it of obnoxious greed, then he left the public spotlight for several months, going into hiding. in the nick of time, would you believe it, he's appeared in time to play another tournament, he's appeared in time to play anothertournament, but he's appeared in time to play another tournament, but he's netting $200 million is the most effective name, and here's what he had to say along with westwood and poulter. i don't condone human rights violations_ i don't condone human rights violations at all. nobody here does, throughout— violations at all. nobody here does, throughout the world. and i'm certainly— throughout the world. and i'm certainly aware of what has happened with jamaal certainly aware of what has happened withjamaal khashoggi

of more money has proved persuasive for some — dustinjohnson, lee westwood, sergio garcia, and ian poulter. all huge stars of the game will play. this is lee westwood's reason. this is myjob. he has considered it — and he's decided to play. and he'll be far from the only sport star to benefit from saudi money — there's a $600 million deal with formula one. $a00 million went for a controlling stake in newcastle football club. and now, over $2 billion will go to golf in the coming years. and the players who take the money know it may affect where they can play — here's ian carter again. pro golfers like to think of themselves as independent contractors, but the reality is that if they are playing on a tour, they have obligations to it. and if they want to play for a rival, well, they have to apply for a waiver. that's exactly what they did when liv golf came calling, and the tours said "no". the tours said "no" — but greg norman has kept making the case. this is a once in a lifetime - opportunity to unlock the potential for the game of golf to truly grow. it's certainly a chance for

well, england's lee westwood and ian poulter have also signed up, and they were quizzed on the moral questions around the funding from saudi arabia. is there anywhere in the world you wouldn't play? if vladimir putin had a tournament, would you play in it? i'm not even going to comment on speculation. is there anywhere you wouldn't play on a moral basis? i don't need to answer that question. lee, do you want to answer that question? you're just asking us to answer a hypothetical question there. i they're moral questions, aren't they? very interesting to see that. dan evans' strong start to the grass court season has continued. the british number one comfortably made his way through to the quarterfinals of the nottingham 0pen after a straight sets win over italian thomas fabiano. evans is still yet to drop a set in nottingham, and after battling through a tight opener 7—5, the brit comfortably raced to victory, taking the second set 6—0. things didn't go so well for fellow brit heather watson, though. she was beaten in straight sets by viktoria golubic of switzerland, the swiss wi

ian poulter has said he will appeal the decision, others have said they are not that bothered that they can play in the us open next week. the idea is logistically be too difficult to remove them all from the card. they can still compete in the us open. was it literally once they hit their first ball? they would have been looking at the bones and it was on an e—mail that the tournament was under way but only when they saw their e—mails. they knew it was coming. the players, who are getting huge amounts of money for appearing in the first tournament of this saudi arabia—funded series, had just teed off when an email was sent out, suspending them from the pga tour. it announced all of its players, who are competing in this week's event will be suspended, although this won't apply to next week's us open, which is too soon. now in response, the organisers of the breakaway series, hit back, calling the pga tour "vindictive," and saying the ban, "deepens the divide between the tour and its members." six—time major winner phil mickelson is among the biggest names to be affected, but sa

anotherformer world number one in martin kaymer, ryder cup legends such as sergio garcia, lee westwood and ian poulter as well. graeme mcdowell on that list, equally. so, these are players who have either already resigned from the tour or are actually members of the tour who have been suspended. and significantly for those that have resigned, they've been told that they will not be able to play under a sponsor invitation at any pga tour events going forward as well. the liv golf invitational is a new tournament series funded by the saudi government. the series will feature six more tournaments this year. and there's big bucks to play for. each tournament has $25 million in prize money, more than any other golf tournament in history. the winner takes 4 million. for comparison, the top prize at the us masters this year was $2.7 million. this has persuaded high—profile golf players to join the tournament, like dustinjohnson, who resigned his pga tour membership and then signed to liv golf for a reported $150 million. he spoke about the decision yesterday. you know, obviously i've played on the tour for

around £20 million up for grabs. 42 players have been confirmed including england's lee westwood, ian poulter and a northern ireland player. one man who won't be there as the six time major winner phil nicholson who has been linked with a breakaway event but said he was taking a break from the game in february. that is all this but for now. i will have a little bit more later on. the uk communications watchdog, ofcom, is urging technology firms to do more to make the online world safer for women and girls. a snapshot of the uk's online habits compiled by the regulator found that women were more likely than men to come across harmful content — and were more likely to be distressed by it. zoe kleinman reports. # take me back to the summer time. 24—year—old scots folk singer iona fyfe uses social media to promote her music, and she gets a lot of online abuse. she says the comments can be relentless, distressing and scary. but when it's a prolonged, extended pile—on, it really does get to you — you question your self—worth, you question your talent, you question if you're good enough.
