1:37 pm
players will be wearing black arm bands. the chair of the fa's faith in football group, rabbi goldberg, has told the fa they are formally breaking the link between the advisory group and the fa. the fa say supporters at the game, will only be able to bring in, "flags, replica kits and other representations of nationality, for the 2 competing nations". the england manager understands the decision. the fa will have consulted with everybody they possibly can and they will have tried to make the best decision with good intentions. clearly, whatever decision they came to would have been criticised in one way or another. so i also recognise how difficult it was for them. i wasn't involved in those discussions. they were long and went on for a long time, i know,
1:38 pm
but they've decided to take the stance they have and, you know, we will go on with that. now, the international olympic committee have recommended five new sports to be part of the olympics, which will now go to a vote. they include flag football, baseball and softball, squash, lacrosse and cricket — the latter of which ioc president thomas bach says can help the olympics reach a new audience. it's a great opportunity to engage with a new athlete and fan community. we see the growing popularity of cricket and in particular the team 20 formats. now the world cup has shown the success already. we are looking forward to

1:44 pm
mr sunak is meeting with regional leaders to discuss russia's full—scale invasion of ukraine and the group's continued cooperation with nato. but, unsurprisingly, the questions the prime minister was asked from the media centered on the israel gaza war. take a listen: well, it's good to be here in sweden for thejef summit. we've had very productive discussions today, firstly on our collective support for ukraine, where it was also good to hear direct from president zelensky, but also we've discussed the appalling situation in israel, where we are united in condemning this act of terrorism and condemning it in the strongest possible terms. and are the discussions varied? one of the things thatjef does very well is work together to combat hybrid threats to our security, obviously not to comment on specifics, but it's one of the reasons that this alliance is so effective and valuable, because we as like—minded nations have a particular expertise in dealing with these things. and given the geography
1:45 pm
of the region that we all represent, this is something that we did discuss in broad terms today. as you mentioned, there's obviously a huge issue in the middle east at the moment. israel has been warning for 1.1 million civilians to evacuate gaza in 24 hours. not only is that timeframe too short for that many people to leave because the border doesn't have the facilities to do that, but the borders are closed and the un are saying it's an impossible demand. do you feel any sympathy for the innocent palestinians, many of whom have no affiliation to hamas whatsoever, who may lose their lives because of this? and when you spoke to benjamin netanyahu, did you raise any concerns? well, we're monitoring the situation very closely. we have formally updated our travel advice. and, of course, humanitarian concerns and protection of civilians are very important. and this is something that i spoke to prime minister netanyahu about late last night. it's also why we've moved royal navy assets into the mediterranean over the coming week and they will be able to provide humanitarian support if required. we're seeing a blockade of food, medicine and water to gaza
