first let's return to our top story. the first funerals have taken place for palestinians killed by israeli troops in gaza yesterday. at least 58 palestinians died and more than 2,000 others were injured. today marks the 70th anniversary of what palestinians call the catastrophe — when hundreds of thousands of people fled, or were expelled from their homes — when the state of israel was established. palestinian officials say two people have been killed today. meanwhile the turkish president recep tayyip erdogan has been meeting theresa may at downing street. they've been holding a news conference in the past hour. let's listen more into what they had to say. president erdogan, it gives me great pleasure to welcome you to downing street today. the uk—turkey relationship is indispensable. the issues we have discussed

underline just how important it is that we work ever more closely together to make people safer and more prosperous. i would like to start by addressing the troubling situation in gaza and the west bank. which president erdogan and i have discussed today. the loss of life we have seen is tragic and extremely concerning. such violence is destructive to peace efforts and we call on all sides to show restraint. there is an urgent need to establish the facts of what happened yesterday through an independent and transparent investigation. including why such a volume of live fire was used and what role hamas played in events. palestinians have the right to protest but these protests must be peaceful. we are concerned that extremist elements are seeking to hijack legitimate protests to further their own objectives. and while we do not question

the right of israel to defend its borders, the use of live fire and the resulting loss of life is deeply troubling. we urge israel to show restraint. it is in everyone‘s interests for peace and stability to prevail in israel and the occupied palestinian territories. the discussions we've had today have covered the breadth and depth of our relationship. allow me to say a few words on each of the key topics we've discussed. firstly we are nato allies and remain firmly committed to the alliance as the best way of guaranteeing our collective security. since my visit to ankara injanuary last year both turkey and the uk have suffered grievous attacks by terrorists. as daesh is defeated militarily we are aware of the risk of foreign fighters dispersing from syria and iraq. to counter this we have today agreed to take concrete steps towards measures that

will formalise our information sharing. our intent is to agree that when turkish authorities return a british citizen suspected of terrorist offences to britain, they will do so with vital evidence such as media taken from mobile devices and transcripts of interviews. this will support our efforts to secure the convictions of those who seek to do us harm. we've also reaffirmed our commitment to deepen cooperation between the home office and the turkish ministry of the interior. this commitment means that we will look at how our police, border, customs and coastguard agencies can share information more easily in order to tackle the terrorists and organised criminals involved in money laundering, drug smuggling and people and arms trafficking. turkey is on the front line of many vital issues for the uk particularly in syria where it is an important member of the global coalition against daesh. today president erdogan and i have

reaffirmed their commitment to defeating daesh and the need for political settlement to the war and provide stability for all of syria, turkey and the wider region. we also agreed on the need to ensure humanitarian access in syria and on the importance of compliance with international humanitarian law and the protection of civilians by all sides. we reiterate our condemnation of the terrible chemical weapons attacks in douma and on the streets of salisbury. and while clearly the two incidents differ in order of magnitude, they're part of a pattern of disregard for the global norms that prohibit the use of chemical weapons. today president erdogan and i agreed on the importance of restoring the international norm that the use of chemical weapons is abhorrent and can never be acceptable. i underlined once again the uk position that the salisbury attack was not just an act of attempted murder in salisbury norjust an act against the uk by russia it was an affront to the rules —based system on which we all depend.

turkish president erdogan strongly condemned the actions of both israel and the united states. we will never accept the removing of the us embassy from tel aviv to jerusalem. with this endeavour the us not only ignored the resolutions of the un and international law but also refrained from playing the mediating role in the settlement of the dispute between two countries and instead the us introduced itself as contributing to the conflict. we have to do everything within our capability to refrain from distorting the picture by being forged and policies of the united states and the israeli occupants and

violent actions have been encouraged by the discretion of the united states. as of yesterday 60 palestinians have lost their lives and many civilians in the region of 2500 people, had been wounded, most of them heavily and these are all the result of such policies. that is president erdogan. now on bbc news it's time for sportsday. hello, i'm 0lly foster, here's what's coming up on sportsday tonight. it's no—go forjoe....hart is stood down from england world cup duties this summer and it's also bad news for wilshere. the former aston villa and bolton player jlloyd samuel has died at the age of 37 after a car crash near his home. and ireland put up a fight, but their maiden test ends in defeat to pakistan.

good evening, we'll start with some england news — the news that joe hart will not be part of gareth southgate's england squad for the world cup. he's had the number i jersey at the past four major championships but will not be going to russia. arsenal's jack wilshere also misses out. let's speak to our sports correspondent andy swiss, andy, this is on the eve of southgate announcing his final 23....but as we've seen in past years we do sometimes get some leaks. let's start with the hart news. gareth southgate is to announce the

world cup squad tomorrow afternoon and then at a press conference on thursday he will talk about some of those decisions. but at this stage bits of information on beginning to emerge and one of those is that goalkeeperjoe hart has been told he will not in the squad. of course he has huge something about gareth southgate does not have much of his disposal. 75 caps and he has been the first choice keeper in recent tournaments. he played in nine of the ten qualifying matches for the world cup. gareth southgate has a lwa ys world cup. gareth southgate has always praised his professionalism that he has had a tough season and it seems he will not be going to russia. and it's been a difficult couple of years since being frozen out by pep guardiola at manchester city. that is right, he went to italy on

loa n that is right, he went to italy on loan and west ham but it has not worked out for him this season. a number of high—profile errors and in fa ct number of high—profile errors and in fact he was dropped from the team in recent matches. he conceded 39 goals injust recent matches. he conceded 39 goals in just 19 recent matches. he conceded 39 goals injust 19 premier league games at west ham. although as i say he was first choice keeper of almost all the qualifying tournaments. gareth southgate opted forjordan pickford and jack butler and in recent friendlies, perhaps an indication to the direction which is thinking was going and he clearly feels thatjoe hart is not up to it at the moment. joe hart has been one of the main talking points. many thought with his experience he must be one of those three but now he is not. you mentioned a couple of names who will form the three keepers that normally go. jordan pickford and jack butler and played in those friendlies are clearly there are going and now the third—place, the third goalkeeping place in the squad would seem to be

going to nick pope of burnley, which would be an extraordinary story because he has not played for any junior level for england and has not been on the radar for football fans at the start of the season. but he had a terrific season at burnley and would now seem favourite to get the third spot. some people may think the omission ofjoe hart a bit of a gamble because of his experience. butjack wilshire gamble because of his experience. but jack wilshire machine gamble because of his experience. butjack wilshire machine out, not so butjack wilshire machine out, not so much of a surprise. not a great surprise, he has not played from england since euro 2016 and that match against iceland which england fa ns match against iceland which england fans will remember too well for that since then he was a line to start the friendlies that we had against italy and the netherlands, he was picked for the squad but had to pull out the cause of injury. we live the story of his career as far as many people are concerned. he started just 12 premier league games this season. just 12 premier league games this

season. it seems gareth southgate has decided that that fragility and ten they did come injured has counted against him and jack wilshire also will not be part of the england squad this summer in russia. many thanks for that update. more news i'm sure in the next 2a hours before we have the official announcement. the former aston villa and bolton player jlloyd samuel has died at the age of 37. he was involved in a car crash near manchesterjust before 8 o'clock this morning and died at the scene. he played over 200 games in the premier league but also had spells at cardiff city and gillingham. he spent the majority of his playing career at villa, the former aston villa and bolton player jlloyd samuel has he spent the majority of his playing career at villa, and they play this evening against middlesbrough in their championship play—off semi—final. ian winter is at villa park. the tragic death has left everyone

ina the tragic death has left everyone in a state of deep shock. he spent nine years at villa park and played seven games for the england under 21 before going on to play twice for trinidad and tobago. in a tweet on social media earlier this afternoon aston villa said they are deeply saddened to hear of the death of erdogan and said that the players would wear black armbands as a tribute at the game tonight. and thoughts are with the family and friends at this sad time. aston villa supporters as well with very fond of jlloyd villa supporters as well with very fond oleloyd samuel, a talented left full—back and they will be here in numbers. 40,000 of them to pay their own special tribute as a game which is such importance to both clu bs. which is such importance to both clubs. villa are leading from the first leg, 1— nil. utterly peerless the middlesbrough manager is a fiery competitor and he will not be overawed by the size of the task tonight. 2000 middlesbrough fans

have made the journey down from tayside hoping for a repeat of that victory that middlesbrough took here in the league cup back in september and the winners remember will play for them for a place in the premier league at wembley on saturday the 26th of may. a fairly subdued location with the death of a fairly subdued location with the death oleloyd samuel. chelsea ladies can complete the double tonight. fa cup winners earlier this month, a draw is all they need away at bristol city women, jo currie is there for us. a fantastic season for chelsea. are they going to slip up tonight down in the south west? the sun is shining and welcome to a warm and sunny stadium, chelsea as you say come into this match a strong

favourites, unbeaten in the league so favourites, unbeaten in the league so far this season. in terrific form having lifted the fa cup trophy at wembley just ten days having lifted the fa cup trophy at wembleyjust ten days ago. they have already played bristol in a couple of matches this season and have beaten them both times so chelsea only need one point, just to avoid defeat to be crowned league champions once again but i guarantee there will be going for the victory. they were champions three years ago, who had been the standout players this season for them? well look no further than the english striker fran kirby, finally free from injury, she's been able to show their class this season. 25 goals in all competitions and she has been rewarded by being voted the way of the year by both the pfa and the football writers association and it has been her attacking partnership upfront with the swiss star that has made the difference this season. taking chelsea to the next level and taking them to the brink of playing

ina taking them to the brink of playing in a second chelsea in less than two weeks. eni aluko scored the other night against sunderland, taking them to the brink of this league title. she said she's probably off in the summer, any other changes at chelsea expected over the summer? well a couple of players will follow eni aluko out of the door, captain midfielder katie chapman and claire rafferty, both said they will retire at the end of the campaign on sunday. i think a couple more players may follow them out the door simply because manager emma hayes had built a very strong but quite big squad at chelsea and some players, some of them are internationals, they beat have not had as many minutes as they might have expected. but bear in mind they have expected. but bear in mind they have already secured champions league football for next season and beyond the brink of cramming a second trophy this season. i do not think emma hayes will have any problems in placing more players back into the squad to replace them.

ireland have lost their maiden test match to pakistan. they went down by five wickets but they made it interesting on the final day before the visitors finally chased down their target of 160. earlier i spoke to the bbc sports cricket commentator charles dagnal in malahide outside dublin. ireland dead to dream, they made a couple of breakthroughs. and there was a sense of panic that started to set in at that moment and a bit of, can ireland good. there was a drop slip catch. imam on debut and quite a bit of pressure on young shoulders to try to see pakistan home but he was resolute. played some nice shots as well. but andy barber any has not

had a great season, a couple of dropped catches. and pakistan did actually make heavy weather of it taking the time and just 45 minutes after the close of play the rain started to come down. if ireland had maybe batted on a bit longer, could they have caused more problems and set a slightly stiffer target for pakistan, all of those things really add up to the fact that pakistan did show their experience. ireland in their first test match have not disgraced themselves by any stretch. in fact they have shown that they belong in the test arena with the ground here can be proud of what they've done. but they will want to build on that and they will want more test matches and want to continue to keep proving why they are the newest member of the test arena. so it's pakistan next for england and they have named their first squad

of the summer. there's a recall forjos buttler and also a first call up for the somerset spinner dom bess. 0ur sports correspondentjoe wilson was at today's squad announcement. here is the brief, you take over responsibility for picking an england cricket team after a winter when they fail to win a test match ata time when they fail to win a test match at a time when the ecb are concerned whether young people are even interested in cricket at the moment. ed smith is the man leading the selection panel. he sounded very enthusiastic and excited about his role today and posed for photos and then spoke about his first test match selection. who are the men or perhaps who will read that enthusiasm onto the playing field. here's how it works. joe root moves to number three, jonny
