I mark watson, also a comedian, a writer, huge sports fan and we both care about the environment, thats what this programme is all about. Youve just seen recycled footage from the bbc Sports Programme from 30 years ago. And even the awards are made from recycled material, which is all part of the ethos of this program. And its why weve occupied the bbc sport Match Of The Day studio. Former International Footballers and now pundits alan shearer and ian wright have been locked out. They think its temporary but its a dream for me to be and this place all dressed up, especially for it, there is absolutely no way im leaving without a fight. By the end of this ill be the official new Match Of The Day host, theyjust dont know it yet. And with the click of the fingers we can make ourselves feel even more at home.

The Health Ministry in gaza says that 900 palestinians have now been killed during israels recent air strikes, with around half of those women and children. President joe biden has described the attack as an act of sheer evil. He confirmed 14 americans were killed and pledged full us support to israel. Well examine all those developments, but first, lets go on the ground to kfar aza israel where the bbc s jeremy bowen has been reporting on the bodies recovered from attacks there.

Paris Saint Germain including Kylian Mbappe were simply blown away by newcastle who led 2 0 by half time thanks to goals by Miguel Almiron and dan burn. Sean longstaff, born and raised here in north east england, made it three. Psg pulled one back, before fabian schar s screamer rounded off a famous 4 1 win. It was loud, raucous, everything you would expect from a european night in newcastle.
