Patrick was joined by Lucy Rae from the Human rights advocacy group Grant Liberty, to discuss a recent report her organisation commissioned which found that Saudi Arabia has spent at least 1.5 billion dollars on high profile global events in a bid to bolster its reputation.  We heard about why Saudi Arabia is investing so much in sport and the range of sports it is involved in.  Lucy chatted about some of human rights abuses that are happening in Saudi Arabia and the hopes that high profile sports personalities can make a stand on these issues.
