you. here on bbc one, it's time for the news where you are. hello and welcome to sportsday. i'm 0lly foster, coming up: a legend of his sport. five time world darts champion eric bristow has died. tiger woods back at a major tournament. just about in contention at the masters mac. arsenal are in control after a big

win against cska moscow. good evening. we are going to start with the very sad news that the five time world darts champion eric bristow has died this evening following a heart attack. following a suspected heart attack. he was 60. the crafty cockney dominated the game in the 80's and was perhaps the first superstar darts player. let's speak to the chairman of the proffessional darts corporation barry hearn. evening, barry, just first your reaction to this terrible news. we understand he was taken ill at a darts event in liverpool this evening? just unbelievable. you talk about being shocked, this is beyond

being shocked. he was working as normal in hospitality. he felt unwell, collapsed and died. at 60, it's just tragic. unwell, collapsed and died. at 60, it'sjust tragic. 0ur unwell, collapsed and died. at 60, it's just tragic. our thoughts go, obviously, to his wife and family and friends. because this has come asa and friends. because this has come as a massive shock to the whole sport of darts. players in tears on the premier league stage tonight. the crowd was chanting his name endlessly. because of the influence that eric bristow had in the world of darts. it is an understatement. what did eric do for the sport? it is sudden to talk about his legacy, but he really did, sort of, transcend and take darts into the mainstream. to become part of the public consciousness in uk sport. we often talk about the absence of characters in sports and he was a characters in sports and he was a

character with a c. he understood what crowds wanted to see. he was controversial, a maverick, he spoke his mind. he upset a few people from time to time but the man in the street warmed to him because he was one of theirs. he had time for people, he knew how to entertain and he developed his own style, his own persona. he transgressed sports for ten, 15 years and to this day, people remember the crafty cockney in his pomp. probably one of the reasons darts is where it is today. he hasn't lost his touch with the ordinary man. because it is made up of ordinary men, made up of ordinary men with extraordinary ability. eric bristow was the ringleader from the beginning. his name is synonymous with darts. he had all those world titles but massively influential on the world champions that followed, nonetheless phil taylor. of course. i suppose you would say eric bristow and phil taylor are the two

legendary names from that era that took sport out of the pubs and onto the global stage, in terms of being now one of the most popular sports in europe. it has come out of a working man's ordinary background game and people like eric bristow academise where the game came from. and had the star quality to take it to the next level —— a bit might wear the game came from. every player playing today should be grateful —— eric bristow epitomised where the game came from. many thanks forjoining us to reflect on that terribly sad news that eric bristow has died this evening after being taken ill suddenly at a darts eventin being taken ill suddenly at a darts event in liverpool. the first golf major of the yea, the masters is under way. they are still out on the course at augusta. but tiger woods has finished his round. the four time champion is making his first appearance at a major since 2015

following back surgery. he made back to back bogies on the front and back nine but finished stronly and lies on one over par. spare a thought for the rfeigning master champion sergio garcia, he found the water five times with his approach to the par five 15th green. he scored 13. that is the worst in master mac history. he will need something miraculous to make the cut. another great story. tony finau dislocated his ankle celebrating a hole in one in the par—3 competition yesterday. he had a joint share of the lead on four under a short time ago. let's cross live to the bbc sports team at augusta for the latest. like you have said, day one of the master is well under way and providing some sensational golf and some real drama at augusta national. two debutants some real drama at augusta national. two debuta nts out some real drama at augusta national. two debutants out in front. the 22—year—old from china and tony

finau, who dislocated his ankle yesterday celebrating a hole in one, given the all clear to compete this morning. so dangerous around this course. amongst those safely in the clubhouse on 3—under par is former 0pen champion henrik stenson. his 69, best opening round here and afterwards he spoke to us. you are the first player to post a score in the 60s today at augusta, how well did you play?|j score in the 60s today at augusta, how well did you play? i definitely felt like i didn't play 100%, i had a couple of loose shots but i manage my way around this difficult golf course really well and managed to make some good recoveries when i was in trouble. my parter felt pretty good, i rolled in a couple of long ones and could have made one or two with some easy putts but all in all, lam with some easy putts but all in all, i am pleased with my day's work. any time in the 60s you got to be pleased. defending champion sergio

garcia had a little disaster at the 15th, five shots into the water and he would leave with a 13, 9—over par, the worst opening score by a masters champion. it will take something sensational for garcia not to be handing over that greenjacket on sunday. 0ne to be handing over that greenjacket on sunday. one man hoping it will be draped over his shoulders is rory mcilroy currently 2—under par through 13 holes. tiger woods finished his round 1—over par. very much still in the hunt. it's been a sensational days so far and you can watch all the highlights on bbc two from 5:45pm on friday. 0ur bbc sport website will continue coverage so you won't miss a second of the drama. there will be plenty of drama. iam sure i am sure there will be. many thanks. we've had the first day of competition on the gold coast at the commonwelth games and england are on top of the medal table. 12 medals, half of them gold with four coming in the pool. at the last two games, scotland's hannah miley won the 400

metres individual medley but couldn't make it a hatrick as she was beaten by england's aimee wilmott. she was second to miley in glasgow in 2014 but took gold by a quarter of a second. scotland's ross murdoch was also defending his 200 metre breaststroke title but was pipped to gold by england's james wilby despite leading for much of the race. wilby came up with a brilliant last 25 metres. max whitlock helped england defend their gymnastic team title. the double olympic champion top scored with his floor and pommel routines to clinch the win with team mates nile wilson, courtney tulloch, james hall and dominick cunningham. scotland won five medals today, their only gold came in the velodrome. neil fackie and pilot matt rotherham set a commonwelth record in the blind and visually impaired 1000m time trial. wales took silver, their only medal of the day. lots more action in the velodrome

and the pool. lots of live sport on the bbc website. arsenal have disappointed in this season's premier league, they're so far outside the top four that their only realistic route back into the champions league is to win the europa league. they have taken a big step towards the semifinal after winning the first leg of the quarterfinal 4—1 against cs moscow at home. the europa league final is arsenal's remaining target. the only way they could win it. aaron ramsey getting the cross. the russians struck back quickly and in style. the free kick worth travelling to london to see. after mesut ozil was hauled down,

alexander lacazette clinical from the penalty spot, arsenal's fans began to enjoy themselves. and so did ramsey, flair, instinct and precision to leave the goalkeeper looking foolish. 3—1 and only 28 minutes on the clock. impreza ozil set up alexander lacazette for his second on the night. —— impressive method ozil. as it turns out, that was it, no hat—trick for ramsey, they lost a bit of focus in the second half. a three—goal lead should be enough to keep their season going at least for now. you can find the other football results from the europa league on the bbc sport website. the darts legend, the crafty cockney eric bristow has died this evening of a suspected heart attack after being taken ill suddenly at a darts event in liverpool. that's all from sportsday. coming up in a moment, the papers. hello and welcome to our look ahead

to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are sebastian payne, political lead writer at the financial times and rachel cunliffe, comment and features editor at city am. a few of tomorrow's front pages are already in. not most of them. we will make a start. the metro leads with tottenham mp david lammy calling for parties to work together to tackle the spate of violence in london. the guardian goes with the same story, with a former senior officer warning the police have lost control of the streets. the financial times reports a call

from the equalities commission to punish firms which didn't report their gender pay data in time for the legal deadline on wednesday. the express reports says that someone stabbed entering someone's house has previous burglary convictions. the telegraph says justice secretary david gauke has expressed sympathy with homeowners who defend their property against burglars. the times says the government has identified a russian military research base as the origin of the nerve agent that poisoned a former spy in salisbury. and that's a varied set of front pages. let's discuss some of the stories in more detail. salisbury poison made russia's porton down. how do they know? this is quite an extraordinary turn in this story over the past 24 hours. we have this bizarre press conference with the russian ambassador, some tense scenes at the united nations and now this big

splash on the times. they had seen 01’ splash on the times. they had seen or learned of intelligence that went to britain's allies which said that the novichok agent used to poison sergei skripal and his daughter was produced at russia's equivalent of porton down. they also have intelligence that this laboratory was used to test novichok‘s effectiveness for assassination. a lot of false flags over the last 24 hours by people questioning the motive of britain, questioning whether britain was right because of this confusion that resulted from the foreign office press statement. but this intelligence looks pretty clear and persuasive. the former head of britain's chemical and biological and radiological regiment has seen intelligence and says it's very compelling and clearly points to russia. at their version of porton down. i think this is pretty clear—cut about where this came from. if our allies were persuaded
