Some big news on the world's biggest mammal. | :00:11. | :00:15. | |
Some big news on the world's biggest singing Nun stunned the world. It's | :00:16. | :00:22. | |
Newsround. A subject that's got lots of you | :00:23. | :00:26. | |
talking today. The price of England's World Cup kit. The FA has | :00:27. | :00:29. | |
been criticised by players and politicians after it was revealed it | :00:30. | :00:34. | |
would cost ?90 for an exact adult replica of the new shirt. A cheaper | :00:35. | :00:38. | |
version is available for ?60 with kids ones costing ?42 and ?40. It's | :00:39. | :00:43. | |
clearly something you guys care a lot about as you have been getting | :00:44. | :00:45. | |
in touch online all day: Joining me now is BBC Sport reporter | :00:46. | :01:04. | |
Ben Smith. Thanks for coming in. What is behind this? | :01:05. | :01:08. | |
I think the first thing to say is it's a massive year for everyone in | :01:09. | :01:11. | |
football. The World Cup is ten weeks away, so that means big business for | :01:12. | :01:16. | |
everyone. Nike pay the FA who look after football in England ?25 | :01:17. | :01:19. | |
million a year just for the right to sell the shirts. In a normal year, | :01:20. | :01:24. | |
they would sell around a million shirts, in World Cup year they'll | :01:25. | :01:27. | |
sell three times as many. It's big business, a big moment for | :01:28. | :01:31. | |
Nike and it's been overshadowed by the price tag. Lots more comments | :01:32. | :01:36. | |
coming in. One e-mailer says it's expensive but looks so good. Another | :01:37. | :01:40. | |
Ben says it's a waste of money because England will be out after | :01:41. | :01:44. | |
three games of the World Cup. That's his perspective. But what about the | :01:45. | :01:48. | |
price of the kit versus international other ones? The Home | :01:49. | :01:51. | |
Nations, England Scotland and Wales for instance, they are a little | :01:52. | :01:53. | |
cheaper, well much cheaper. They are not going to the World Cup, | :01:54. | :02:03. | |
we should say. The average shirt prize of those going to the World | :02:04. | :02:06. | |
Cup, the average price is ?62. So there is a difference there, clearly | :02:07. | :02:11. | |
which is upsetting a lot of fans. A lot of people are slightly worried | :02:12. | :02:16. | |
they won't be able to afford it, so do you think anything will come of | :02:17. | :02:19. | |
this? Nike have been quick to say that actually, you are paying for a | :02:20. | :02:23. | |
real clever shirt in a way, this shirt will help England cope with | :02:24. | :02:26. | |
the neat Brazil and so they are saying this ?90 shirt has all the | :02:27. | :02:30. | |
technology in it. We tried to contact the FA and Nike. Neither | :02:31. | :02:35. | |
were able to speak to us today. What have they said about it? That ?90 | :02:36. | :02:39. | |
shirt's got all the clever technology that will help England | :02:40. | :02:41. | |
cope with the heat in Brazil. It will be very hot out there. They | :02:42. | :02:45. | |
sell a ?60 version which will look very similar but doesn't have that | :02:46. | :02:49. | |
technology to help you stay cool in these hot temperatures. Thank you so | :02:50. | :02:54. | |
much for coming in to chat to us. Next, an international court has | :02:55. | :02:58. | |
told Japan to stop killing whales in the ocean around Antarctica. It's | :02:59. | :03:03. | |
after Australia complained they were breaking worldwide rules meant to | :03:04. | :03:05. | |
prevent whales being killed for meat. | :03:06. | :03:11. | |
For centuries, whales have been hunted for their meat and blubber. | :03:12. | :03:15. | |
In some countries, whale meat is a delicacy and in Japan it's sold in | :03:16. | :03:20. | |
shops and served in restaurants. Hunting whales reduced their numbers | :03:21. | :03:24. | |
to dangerously low levels, and in 1986, hunting whales for meat was | :03:25. | :03:27. | |
banned. Killing whales for scientific | :03:28. | :03:30. | |
research was still allowed, conservation groups then claimed | :03:31. | :03:34. | |
that Japan was using this as an excuse to keep the supply of whale | :03:35. | :03:37. | |
meat coming. Four years ago, Australia accused | :03:38. | :03:41. | |
Japan of illegally killing Weals in the southern ocean around Antarctica | :03:42. | :03:46. | |
and took the can you think Troy an international court to make them | :03:47. | :03:50. | |
stop. The court found Japan had killed around 3,600 Minke whales | :03:51. | :03:57. | |
there since 2005. They decided this wasn't for scientific reasons and | :03:58. | :04:01. | |
has ordered them to stop. TRANSLATION: We are deeply | :04:02. | :04:04. | |
disappointed and regret the result, but Japan will abide by the ruling | :04:05. | :04:10. | |
as a law-abiding nation. The decision is seen as a big victory. I | :04:11. | :04:16. | |
very much appreciate the desire of the Australian people general | :04:17. | :04:20. | |
generally to see an end to whaling in the southern ocean. The court's | :04:21. | :04:24. | |
ruling only applies to the southern oh meaning Japan can still hunt | :04:25. | :04:27. | |
whales elsewhere. A complete end to international | :04:28. | :04:32. | |
whaling is still some way off. Finally, a Nun has become a YouTube | :04:33. | :04:38. | |
hit after footage of her appearing on the Italian version of The Voice | :04:39. | :04:40. | |
went viral. Millions of people have watched her | :04:41. | :04:54. | |
sing the Alicia Keys song. That's all from me. A few more | :04:55. | :05:03. | |
comments, lots agree that the | :05:04. | :05:04. |
