:00:00. > :00:11.You're live with Nel, with news of whales and singing nuns to come.

:00:12. > :00:14.It's Newsround. First tonight, a story that's had

:00:15. > :00:18.you talking all day: the price of England's World Cup kit. The FA has

:00:19. > :00:21.been criticised by players and politicians because an exact adult

:00:22. > :00:25.replica of the new shirt will cost ?90. A cheaper, fan's version is

:00:26. > :00:30.available for ?60, with the lowest-priced kids' top costing 40.

:00:31. > :00:40.Loads of you have been in touch via the website.

:00:41. > :00:45.Here's what BBC Sport reporter Ben Smith told us. Look at Scotland,

:00:46. > :00:50.Wales and Northern Ireland. They come in much cheaper, around ?52.

:00:51. > :00:53.And kids' kits come in at about ?39. Well, the FA have said that they

:00:54. > :00:57.don't choose the price. They're pretty clear on that. And they've

:00:58. > :01:00.also said that all this money that they make from kits goes towards

:01:01. > :01:03.grass-roots football. Now, Nike have said that technology in one shirt is

:01:04. > :01:06.very different to another, so everything that's going towards

:01:07. > :01:09.helping England play in Brazil is in that really expensive shirt.

:01:10. > :01:12.Next, an international court has told Japan to stop killing whales in

:01:13. > :01:15.the ocean around Antartica. It's after Australia complained they were

:01:16. > :01:20.breaking worldwide rules. Here's Ayshah.

:01:21. > :01:23.For centuries, whales have been hunted for their meat and their

:01:24. > :01:27.blubber. In some countries, whale meat is a delicacy, and in Japan,

:01:28. > :01:30.it's sold in shops and served in restaurants. But hunting whales

:01:31. > :01:36.reduced their numbers to dangerously low levels, and in 1986, hunting

:01:37. > :01:40.whales for their meat was banned. But killing whales for scientific

:01:41. > :01:43.research was still allowed. Conservation groups then claimed

:01:44. > :01:47.that Japan was using this as an excuse to keep the supply of whale

:01:48. > :01:50.meat coming. Four years ago, Australia accused Japan of illegally

:01:51. > :01:53.killing whales in the Southern Ocean around Antarctica and took the

:01:54. > :01:59.country to an international court to make them stop. The court found that

:02:00. > :02:05.Japan had killed around 3,600 minke whales there since 2005. They

:02:06. > :02:12.decided this wasn't for scientific reasons and has now ordered them to

:02:13. > :02:15.stop. TRANSLATION: We are deeply disappointed and regret the result,

:02:16. > :02:19.but Japan will abide by the ruling as a law-abiding nation. The

:02:20. > :02:23.decision is seen as a big victory for Australia and animal rights

:02:24. > :02:26.groups. I very much appreciate the desire of the Australian people

:02:27. > :02:33.generally to see an end to whaling in the Southern Ocean. But the

:02:34. > :02:36.court's ruling only applies to the Sourthern Ocean, meaning Japan can

:02:37. > :02:41.still hunt whales elsewhere. A complete end to international

:02:42. > :02:45.whaling is still some way off. Finally to the nun who has had more

:02:46. > :02:47.than 40 million hits on YouTube. Sister Cristina has become an

:02:48. > :02:53.internet sensation after this video of her auditioning for the Italian

:02:54. > :02:55.version of The Voice went viral. That's all from us. Newsround is

:02:56. > :02:57.back tomorrow.
