1:38 pm
have a massive, massive impact. fifa president gianni infantino described that violent scenes that occured at the end of a turkish super lig game on sunday were "absolutely unacceptable". home supporters were seen running on to the pitch to attack fenerbahce players after their 3—2 win at trabzonspor. fenerbahce's bright osayi—samuel and michy batshuayi both tried to intervene as security services entered the field. an investigation has begun to identify the spectator involved. the turkish football federation said in a statement that the necessary criminal sanctions will be imposed on those responsible for these incidents, with 12 arrests made. carlos alcaraz beat daniil medvedev to win back—to—back titles at indian wells. despite going an early break down in the first set, he came back to win it in a tie break. the second was far more comfortable, winning it 6—1 to successfully defend the title he won 12 months ago, against the same opponent. it means a lot to me, lifting the trophy,
1:39 pm
winning the tournament, because i overcame a lot of problems in my head, a lot of problems physically, and it was so special for that. not that i didn't win a tournament since wimbledon, for me, it doesn't matter, it's about the feeling, as i said. world number one iga swiatek beat greece's maria sakkari to claim her second indian wells wta title. sakari was competitive in the first set and broke back to level at 4—4, but after that swiatek dominted to win eight games in a row to take a straight sets win. it's the second time swiatek has won this tournament in three years. it was a testing of my mental training because it is not easy to lead in the final at that and keep going, so i'm happyi lead in the final at that and keep going, so i'm happy i focused on the right things and i improved some stuff that i thought i did wrong in the middle of the first set, so it
1:40 pm
was all pretty nice to feel a good thing at the end. a good thing at the end. the world number one scottie scheffeler has made history by successfully retaining his players' championship title after a dramatic final round at sawgrass. the american staged a remarkable comeback on sunday, coming from five shots behind, as a final round 64 saw him finish on 20—under par. he made six birdies and this superb eagle. fellow americans xander schaufelle, brian harman and wyndham clark all needed a birdie on the 18th to force a play—off, but they all fell short, to hand scheffeler the title. the world number one becomes the first player in the tournament's 50—year history to win back to back players championhip titles. any time you can be compared to tiger i think is really special but the guy stands alone i think in our game, he really does. this is my eighth tournament win out here now, i have tied him in players championships,
1:41 pm
outside of that, i got 1a more majors, and 70—something pga tour events to catch up so i think i will stick to my routine and just continue to plod along and try and stay as even keel as i can. we all idolise tiger. he has been our guy. rory mcllroy has welcomed the meeting between the pga tour board and saudi arabia's public investment fund chairman in an effort to bridge the gap between the two entities. negotiations are continuing between the pga tour and the pif, which funds liv golf, about a potential merger. i think it should have a go, so i am glad it is happening and hopefully that progresses conversations and gets us closer to solution. i see the two entities and i think there is a really big disconnect. libor out there doing their own thing. the closer that we can get to them and
1:42 pm
finalise that investment, i think that would be a really good thing. a really good thing. finally to cricket and after a year of mixed results, england's women are in new zealand as they build towards this year's t20 world cup. the side impressed in drawing the ashes against australia at home and winning a t20 series 2—1 in india. here's head coachjon lewis. this early part of the tour is to give players an opportunity and to look at our depth. we have been pretty successful in t20 cricket over the last 6—8 months and we have a clear strategy as to how we play, and it is really about if anyone on the fringes can force their way into the squad. growing depth in our cricket is really important. dame laura kenny, britain's most successful female olympian, dame laura kenny, britain's most successfulfemale olympian, has successful female olympian, has announced successfulfemale olympian, has announced her retirement from cycling. you can get more on that at

that you didn't lead quickly enough on this issue about donations, that he said that these alleged comments were racist after you said they were racist, but until you spoke out he didn't, he was following your lead. i disagree with that. i believe that they were establishing the facts of they were establishing the facts of the matter. i gave a personal opinion and i don't want a prime minister who is going to be lurching out and making comments every five minutes in response to the media. he is not following the lead of the media and i am pleased that he agreed with me but i was making my comments in a personal capacity as the only black woman in the cabinet, which was last tuesday. the uk's broadcasting regulator has found that five programmes on gb news featuring tory politicians acting as news presenters broker
