get eh the rest of the m the rest of the news. hello from the bbc sport centre. russian and belarusian athletes who've qualified for next summer's paris olympics will be allowed to participate as neutrals. the international olympic committee confirmed the decision earlier. athletes from those nations were banned following russia's invasion of ukraine in february last year but the ioc says letting individuals take part is about "respecting human rights." our sports news correspondent alex capstick has been following developments. since march, the international committee is recommended to the sports federations that athletes from russia and belarus should be allowed to compete as neutrals as long as they have no connection to the military in most sports federations have gone along with bed and confirmation of those qualified for the limits will be allowed to compete in paris next year is eight russians and three belarusians this is not include teams and individual athletes and only known as

individual neutral athletes, no flags, no anthems to connect them to those countries of the olympics. they have the support of the sports federations and the athletes but this would be a huge controversial decision in ukraine has been adamant that no russian or belarusian to compete in along with those countries that support ukraine against russian and belarusian participants in the olympics and includes the usa and great britain. they're very unhappy with the conditions with which left to compete and they said the restrictions were humiliating and as for those sports, some who have not supported the ioc, the biggest sport in the athletics has been absolutely firm that they will not move or allow any russians belarusians to compete while the war in ukraine

continues. the women's super league returns to england this weekend after the international break — and ahead of their match against arsenal on sunday, the chelsea manager, emma hayes, has said women in football are routinely used to dealing with what she describes as "systemic misogyny and bullying". it follows comments this week made by the former footballer joey barton on social media. male privilege has been something that's always at the and women were banned until the 70s and not expect any one souk understand the privilege ——. privilege presenter, any one souk understand the privilege presenter, coach or player to really understand that we are routinely used to being dealing with systemic misogyny, bullying and

behaviour that has been pretty normal for a behaviour that has been pretty normalfor a large part of behaviour that has been pretty normal for a large part of the football public. on to football — and, despite a turbulent few weeks at old trafford heightened by rumours of a dressing room rift, there is some cause for celebration. this superb goal from alejandro garnacho, against everton two weeks ago, has won the premier league's goal of the month award. on top of that, united have landed a hat trick, with harry maguire being named player of the month and erik ten hag picking up manager of the month. despite trouble in europe, united had a perfect record in the league in november, and ten hag believes maguire has played a huge part in grinding out results. we've had our setbacks, especially at the start of the season a lot of things were against us, injuries, decisions and sometimes are just as a team we had to deal with that is the character of the team will be far back and we are in better form and receive the performances are

increasing as a team and individuals. and that's all the sport for now. taking the vote on the cease—fire decision in gaza. taking the vote on the cease-fire decision in gaza. representatives of afghanistan. — decision in gaza. representatives of afghanistan, angola, _ decision in gaza. representatives of afghanistan, angola, antigua - decision in gaza. representatives of afghanistan, angola, antigua and i afghanistan, angola, antigua and barbuda, saudi arabia, azerbaijan, bombers, bangladesh, others, belgium bolivia, bosnia botswana, cambodia, chile, congo, costa rica, cuba, egypt, el salvador, slovenia, spain,

leave that seek and see the live events as they take place and talk about the vote and will talk about sport and about saudi arabia and the money that they're ploughing into and administer since they're using that to improve the reputation. we are going to stay with the world of sport and talk about saudi arabia — and the money they are currently ploughing in to football, f1, and golf. the minister in charge of sport says the claim they're using that money to improve the reputation of the oil—rich state — a practice known as sportswashing — are very shallow. our sports editor dan roan has been in the country, accompanied at all times by the saudi ministry of sport, and has sent this exclusive interview with prince abdul—aziz bin turki al faisal. from a revamped league attracting football's biggest stars and the hosting of world heavyweight title fights to an attempted takeover of golf. jon rahm now the latest top player tojoin its breakaway series. saudi arabia is spending billions of pounds transforming

the sports landscape. now the world cup itself is on the horizon and the man overseeing it all told me what lay behind this sports revolution. our ambition is to host the best events around the world and the kingdom for the people of the kingdom to see, but also to invite the world to the kingdom. do you want to be the sort of number one sporting superpower? i don't see it that we're competing with others. 20 million of our population are below the age of 30, so we need to get them engaged. al—hilal versus al—nassr in the saudi pro league. this summer, clubs here spent a staggering £750 million signing top players to join the likes of superstar cristiano ronaldo, sending shock waves through the game. while the riyadh derby is a sell—out, some matches have been watched byjust a few hundred fans. but the man leading the recruitment drive says it's worth it. obviously we would be happy to have all our stadiums full or at least half full, but we recognise the evolution that is taking place. our goal is to create a hugely competitive league that around

the world people want to tune in and watch. having lured some of the game's biggest names here, saudi arabia's remarkable spending spree, both in the pro league and beyond, is generating plenty of hype and potentially growth, too. but it's also forcing sports to confront difficult questions over the disruption that all this investment is causing and the motivation that lies behind it. amid fears over the environmental impact and concern sport is being used to improve the reputation of a country where women's rights are restricted and homosexuality is illegal, saudi arabia is the only bidder to stage the 2034 world cup. for those who say that saudi arabia is not a suitable host, what would your message be to them? hosted a lot of events in the past, more than 85 events. everyone's welcome in the kingdom. like any other nations around the world, we have rules and regulations that everyone should abide by and respect. so when you're accused of sports washing, does that frustrate you?

it's very shallow and i'm sure that a lot of the people that accuse us of that haven't been to saudi or haven't seen what we are doing on the ground. human rights campaigners will say, well, look at the imprisoning of campaigners for women's rights. no—one's perfect and we acknowledge that. and we are reforming. and these events help us reform. open play! a training session for some of the estimated 70,000 saudi girls now playing football here. women were only allowed in stadiums five years ago, but there's been rapid progress since with the creation of a professional league and national team. here at a new elite sports academy such opportunities are credited with changing perceptions. it will really make people, like, not see us as a really weird country because they have always judged saudi arabia for being too religious and everything. we want to be more known as the country that has a lot of opportunities for girls, not only men. but campaigners insist a lot more still needs to be done. unfortunately, over the last few years, saudi arabia's human

rights record has got worse, not better. we still see activists imprisoned for decades just for tweeting. and we've recently reported on widespread exploitation of migrant workers in the country, the sorts of issues that we saw in qatar. but more sports are being enticed to this oil—rich state. jeddah recently hosting a first ever america's cup regatta in the red sea. the critics waved aside. they should come here and check it for themselves and not grandstand. you can't change from outside. you've got to change from within. we've seen this for over a year now that this is the place where the sport will grow. but for those competing here, there's scrutiny as well as opportunity, as a profound shift in sporting influence towards this region gathers pace. with perfect timing — dan sent that interviewjust as news

the sponsors brought by united arab emirates, each country, the 50 member council will read out a statement before the vote is called we have some time before the note is counted. the theme that we are looking at, dan sent that interviewjust as news broke of an extraordinary deal the saudi—backed liv golf have signed with arguably the best golfer in the world. the spaniard jon rahm has announced he is leaving the pga, just a year after telling his fans he had no interest in the saudi money. it is rumoured his contract is worth more than $300 million over three years. rahm is one of the hottest properties on the american tour, still only 29, a former number one, two—time major winner. and who could possibly forget his performance at this year's ryder cup? josh carpenter is assistant managing editor of the sports businessjournal in the us,

which covers all things golf. thank you for being with us and getting slammed on social media but you know they say, everyone is a price. you know they say, everyone is a rice. ., u, you know they say, everyone is a rice. ., . ., , ., price. you could certainly say that, like ou price. you could certainly say that, like you mentioned, _ price. you could certainly say that, like you mentioned, john - price. you could certainly say that, like you mentioned, john just - price. you could certainly say that, like you mentioned, john just a - price. you could certainly say that, l like you mentioned, john just a year ago and a few months ago spoke about how he was not a fan of liv golf from our standpoint, not a big student of the game and is been all about legacy and that sort of thing is really short but very successful career but even as the rumour started percolating and swirling around in the last few weeks, i am still pretty stunning to watch them announce the move last night. find announce the move last night. and the pga, merchant negotiations, how does this change things because

they're in negotiations and one of them because some pouches the others key officer and you have to think this makes liv�*s bargaining position are much stronger, doesn't it? sources i was talking to her telling me that they were only trying to were telling me that they were only trained citizens, liv wants and is a great person and personality and they got that but also, a bargaining chip in these negotiations. december 31 is the deadline between the pga tour and the investment fund it could be pushed back but trained to so, they really see this as a negotiating tactic and if these negotiations, the been really lacking in recent months without it that way it is seen as a bargaining

chip and wants to get a deal done and if they want to happen. got three of the top five players. grabbing jon rahm shows the ability of who can i not clap in tiger woods, will be shocked if he saw tiger woods of rory mcilroy go to liv butjon rahm fonts stature shows that you get anyone they want. the we shall see- _ that you get anyone they want. the we shall see. thank you very much for that. around the world and across the uk, this is bbc news. we'll bring you the results of the vote soon. bill it is the future and

russia has fired cruise missiles at ukraine for the first in over two months. the air raid in kyiv lasted almost two hours though thankfully all the missiles heading towards the ukrainian capital were destroyed by western supplied air defences. the central parts of the country weren't so lucky. one person was killed and four others were injured in the city of pavlohrad. six s—300, they are the long range surface to air missiles were fired at the eastern kharkiv region, with residential buildings destroyed, one dead several others injured. coincidence? not likely. here's the vote. the result of the thou . ht here's the vote. the result of the thought is — here's the vote. the result of the thought is as _ here's the vote. the result of the thought is as follows, _ here's the vote. the result of the thought is as follows, 13 - here's the vote. the result of the thought is as follows, 13 votes i here's the vote. the result of the thought is as follows, 13 votes in | thought is as follows, 13 votes in favour, one against and one extension favour, one against and one
