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

:00:00.:00:11.

It's Newsround. First tonight, a story that's had

:00:12.:00:14.

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

:00:15.:00:18.

been criticised by players and politicians because an exact adult

:00:19.:00:21.

replica of the new shirt will cost ?90. A cheaper, fan's version is

:00:22.:00:25.

available for ?60, with the lowest-priced kids' top costing 40.

:00:26.:00:30.

Loads of you have been in touch via the website.

:00:31.:00:40.

Here's what BBC Sport reporter Ben Smith told us. Look at Scotland,

:00:41.:00:45.

Wales and Northern Ireland. They come in much cheaper, around ?52.

:00:46.:00:50.

And kids' kits come in at about ?39. Well, the FA have said that they

:00:51.:00:53.

don't choose the price. They're pretty clear on that. And they've

:00:54.:00:57.

also said that all this money that they make from kits goes towards

:00:58.:01:00.

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

:01:01.:01:03.

very different to another, so everything that's going towards

:01:04.:01:06.

helping England play in Brazil is in that really expensive shirt.

:01:07.:01:09.

Next, an international court has told Japan to stop killing whales in

:01:10.:01:12.

the ocean around Antartica. It's after Australia complained they were

:01:13.:01:15.

breaking worldwide rules. Here's Ayshah.

:01:16.:01:20.

For centuries, whales have been hunted for their meat and their

:01:21.:01:23.

blubber. In some countries, whale meat is a delicacy, and in Japan,

:01:24.:01:27.

it's sold in shops and served in restaurants. But hunting whales

:01:28.:01:30.

reduced their numbers to dangerously low levels, and in 1986, hunting

:01:31.:01:36.

whales for their meat was banned. But killing whales for scientific

:01:37.:01:40.

research was still allowed. Conservation groups then claimed

:01:41.:01:43.

that Japan was using this as an excuse to keep the supply of whale

:01:44.:01:47.

meat coming. Four years ago, Australia accused Japan of illegally

:01:48.:01:50.

killing whales in the Southern Ocean around Antarctica and took the

:01:51.:01:53.

country to an international court to make them stop. The court found that

:01:54.:01:59.

Japan had killed around 3,600 minke whales there since 2005. They

:02:00.:02:05.

decided this wasn't for scientific reasons and has now ordered them to

:02:06.:02:12.

stop. TRANSLATION: We are deeply disappointed and regret the result,

:02:13.:02:15.

but Japan will abide by the ruling as a law-abiding nation. The

:02:16.:02:19.

decision is seen as a big victory for Australia and animal rights

:02:20.:02:23.

groups. I very much appreciate the desire of the Australian people

:02:24.:02:26.

generally to see an end to whaling in the Southern Ocean. But the

:02:27.:02:33.

court's ruling only applies to the Sourthern Ocean, meaning Japan can

:02:34.:02:36.

still hunt whales elsewhere. A complete end to international

:02:37.:02:41.

whaling is still some way off. Finally to the nun who has had more

:02:42.:02:45.

than 40 million hits on YouTube. Sister Cristina has become an

:02:46.:02:47.

internet sensation after this video of her auditioning for the Italian

:02:48.:02:53.

version of The Voice went viral. That's all from us. Newsround is

:02:54.:02:55.

back tomorrow.
