situation where the exact same thing is happening? we have effectively lost now two years of football within the female game and you know how quickly the field —— the female game is growing i don't think we can afford to do that. i think the right thing to do is put a plan in place before the foot was kick next year. we need to do what is best —— i think they're doing what is best for them as —— as opposed to female players right across the country. a new international tournament in women's rugby union will begin in two years time. and it promises to pit the world's best sides against each other — in what's said to be a landmark moment for the sport. womens rugby expert, ali donnelly told me how it's set to work. you will have three tournaments, a top middle and bottom tier playing out in a specific september october window every year and what that will do is it means there will be more test games for lots of nations, more than they're getting out which is brilliant. but there would be a specific profile moment for women's rugby so that everybody knows that it is september and october every year, the top 16 teams in the world of the teams that will qualify and plane and they will ideally be on television and itjust gives the game a really important window that it does not currently have. in game a really important window that it does not currently have.— it does not currently

rugby in most other countries it displayed i in most other countries it displayed is the growth area of support when it comes to participation and numbers, the growth curve for the women's game is on the rise so i think this is timely for that reason but also there an increasing interest commercially in women's sport and we have seen that through sponsorships in women's football and cricket and rugby is still lagging behind a little bit so that this will allow authorities and officials to try to package together some broadcast rights, sponsorship proposals, commercial interest in a way that is difficult now because the tournaments are quite spread out apart from the six nations and the world cup, and you sometimes get a term in america and a serious play between australia and new zealand but it is not consistent. but it does give an opportunity for us to accelerate into the interest there is but coming out of covid i think that will be very difficult but they are giving themselves a good shot. ali donnelly there. the badminton star gabby adcock has told the bbc, how she's been suffering with long covid for the past three months. ireland and great britain have drawn their series

do about it? i'm grateful to the honourable gentleman. he - do about it? i'm grateful to the i honourable gentleman. he knows do about it? i'm grateful to the - honourable gentleman. he knows that matters to be dealt with in court are matters for the independent judiciary, but i will look at that case because it's clearly important and vital that we make sure that those who are involved in organised crime and abuse are properly dealt with and the wider issues as well are addressed. and i share with him his concern. i won't give way at the moment. i am his concern. i won't give way at the moment. iam particularly his concern. i won't give way at the moment. i am particularly pleased to thank my honourable friend who represented the family of ellie gould, the murder victim whose case i think all of us in this house are fully aware about. it's important to take on board the points he made about domestic homicide. i have said in other places the importance of getting the balance right when it comes to the categories of murder. i have committed to a review. i did that last week and i will bring further information before the house about the content of that important review. i'm particularly pleased to in the minutes that i have come into the house the radical new approach to the way in which we dueled with young people and children who are incarcerated. —— we deal with. the days of locking them up and forgetting about them have to absolutely end, which is why the measures that we are taking to find the legal framework surrounding schools are going to allow a complete change in the way in which we deal with and support and rehabilitate and educate children in our care. schools are going to have education and well—being at their very heart. as ever, i am grateful to my honourable friend for aylesberry for his constructive suggestions under work he is doing as a member of the justice select committee. madam deputy speaker, in the minutes that i have remaining, can i put on the record the important provisions in this bill relating to unauthorised encampments. a lot of members have raised this issue, and it's a real concern to many constituents. i'll give way to my honourable friend. attest to the sheer scale of the cost on our green spaces and communities of encampments. we agree —— will you agree that on this issue and protest, will be seen is that the party opposite is refusing to engage with the legitimate limits on both freedoms? i engage with the legitimate limits on both freedoms?— engage with the legitimate limits on both freedoms? i think my honourable friend ut it both freedoms? i think my honourable friend but it very _ both freedoms? i think my honourable friend put it very well. _ both freedoms? i think my honourable friend put it very well. this _ both freedoms? i think my honourable friend put it very well. this is - both freedoms? i think my honourable friend put it very well. this is all - friend put it very well. this is all about the balance of the rights of the traveller communities to use authorise encampments and to enjoy the lifestyle they have chosen, not to have the studio: that is thejustice secretary robert buckland. they are defending the bill, some mps assaying its provisions on curbing protests would make a dictator blush and show a liking for authoritarianism. robert buckland said he did not see what the fuss is all about. voting is the scene and we will keep you up—to—date on that. but next up here and bbc news is outside source. hello, i'm ros atkins, this is outside source. more european countries suspend their roll out of the oxford astrazeneca covid jab. but as vaccination centres lie idle across the eu its medical regulator says there's no evidence the jab is unsafe. the benefits of the astrazeneca vaccine in preventing covid—19 with its associated risks of hospitalisation and death outweigh the risks of these side—effects. aid workers in mozambique say children as young as eleven are being executed in the north of the country.
