Arsenal forward Henrik Mikhitaryan wont travel to azerbaijan for next weeks Europa League final against chelsea because of fears over his safety. He is from neighbouring armenia and the two countries have a long history of conflict. Our sports correspodnent David Ornstein is with me. David, the club had sought assurances from uefa regarding security but these havent been forthcoming. Its not been the result arsenal wanted. And deeply concerning story that the player can play in the Europa League final because of his nationality. Hes played in 11 of their Europa League games this season, no other one of their players has been on the pitch in the competition for more minutes. At the political tensions between azerbaijan and armenia that you mention, they have a long standing conflict over a disputed region, means he wont be travelling. He missed out on the trip there with marussia dortmund. Marussia dortmund. Arsenal say they are very disappointed, that they have thoroughly explored all options. After discussing it with the player and his family, they have collectively agreed he will be going. They have written to uefa saying of their deep concern. The player himself is that he has had to ta ke player himself is that he has had to take this tough decision. It is the kind of game that doesnt come around very often, i must admit it hurts me a lot to miss it, but he will be cheering on his team mates from home. Uefa have been under fire because of the fact that the matches in baku anyway, which will be very difficult for chelsea and arsenal fa ns to difficult for chelsea and arsenal fans to get true. What have they had to say about this . They released a statement in the last 30 minutes and they sought and received assurances regarding the safety of the players from the highest authorities in the country and they had a comprehensive security plan developed and passed it over to arsenal that they respect the fact that the personal decision of Henrikh Mkhitaryan is that he wont be playing. Arsenal supporters that have dual azerbaijani citizenship of also struggle to travel over. It hasnt been a great story of the pitch. Steve clarke says he only wants players who are 100 committeed to scotland. His predecessor alex mcleish had to contend with several withdrawals and retirements during his time in charge. Clarke faced the media for the first time today after being given the job yesterday. The door is open to everybody at this moment in time. If players are retired then they will have to come out of retirement themselves, i wont chase down players that have retired. I will respect their decision. If they want to get back into the food they have to get in touch with myself for the Scottish Football Association and say they will make themselves available. It is down to me to have the conversations with the players to fallen out of the squad too easily. England have named their 15 man sqaud for the cricket world cup that starts next week. The fast bowlerjofra archer has been included. He was born in barbados and only qualified to play for england in march, after eligibility rules were amended. He only has three caps but has impressed with his pace in the series victory over pakistan. David willey is the man to miss out but for the National Selector archer had to be included. Its clear that he does bring Different Things to the squad. I think we all saw that in advance and then whats happened when hes had opportunities in the england shirt, i think he hasjust shown what he is capable of. While there was no surprise in how he has played, it has broadened the understanding that he is a special cricketer, he does have pace, athleticism, dynamism, something different, someone that can get you a wicket under any circumstances and there was a desire to get him in the squad. That is all the sport for now. You can find the full squad for the cricket world cup on the website. We will be back with more for you in the next hour. British steel the countrys second biggest steel producer is on the brink of collapse unless the government agrees to give it an emergency loan today. The minister for business and industry, andrew stephenson, told the house of commons that the government would leave no stone unturned in its support for the Steel Industry. This speculation regarding the future of British Steel will create uncertainty for those employed by the company, as shown through the ets agreement, the government has been willing to act. We have been in ongoing discussions with the company and im sure the house will understand that we cannot comment on details at this stage. Well however update the house when there is more information available. I can reassure the house that subject to strict legal boundaries, the government will leave no stone unturned in support to the industry. Yesterday i signed up to the uk steel charter and we want to support this initiative from industry and the charter is one element of that. We have also been encouraging the uk steel sector to strengthen their with domestic steel inch consumers, maximising the benefit of the Market Opportunities we have identified. Global considerations continue to be challenging for the industry which is why the government is working with the sector, the unions and the devolved administrations to evolve a modern uk steel sector. The labour mp gill furniss told mr stephenson that protecting the Steel Industry should be a priority. It goes without saying that the uk Steel Industry is critical to our Manufacturing Base and protecting that industry should be of paramount importance to the government. The industry provides over 30,000 highly skilled well paid jobs in the uk and British Steel alone employs around 4500 in British Steel alone employs around a500 in scu nthorpe British Steel alone employs around a500 in scunthorpe and a further 20,000 on the supply chain. Does the minister agree that the government should be doing everything in its power to prevent Richard Steele entering into administration . It is reported that British Steel had asked the uk government for a £75 million load in Emergency Support and have subsequently reduced this request a 30 million following negotiations with the department. Can the minister outline the stance of British Steel throughout this negotiation, have they asked for a wider package of measures to support the site in scunthorpe and the Steel Industry more widely . Can he confirm the status of these negotiations and why they are reporting to have stalled in recent days and it is reported that one of the days is that the partners frustration with the compa nys and that the partners frustration with the companys and willingness to put money on the table. What impact will the compa nys decision money on the table. What impact will the companys decision to acquire another Company Last Week has had on negotiations .

This is obviously really hard for you to talk about this, and you wa nt to for you to talk about this, and you want to tell our audience about this, why do you want to speak about this . Because hepburn has no idea, i believe, the extent of what his stupid actions that might cost. There are no winners here in terms of his competition, in terms of both of his competition, in terms of both of our futures. Of his competition, in terms of both of ourfutures. He has no idea, he just disregarded rate and he joked about it. Then he did it. He has no idea of the rippling effect that it has on someone. 0k, he can cry in court because he has lost his good character and his career, but this was his choice. This was his decision. There was no thought for me at all through all of this. I wa nted me at all through all of this. I wanted to come here and let everyone know exactly how it makes people think.

In court, i would say the most difficult thing is just being made out a liar. That what youre saying isnt true when you know what is. It is evident in my behaviour, howl know what is. It is evident in my behaviour, how i talk, thats difficult in itself. When i went into court i was given this folder, a hefty folder. Unbeknownst to me at the time, it was just a stack of evidence that the cps had got and i was told to refer to page whatever, to view the text between due and due. So, yes, i could see the text, fine, 0k. Then i was told, turn to page whatever and i did and there was a picture of the mattress that had happens on. And, panic attack, no forewarning. In the court room you had a panic attack . Yeah, yeah. Thejudge, again, you had a panic attack . Yeah, yeah. The judge, again, amazing you had a panic attack . Yeah, yeah. Thejudge, again, amazing person, cant fault him, cleared the courtroom instantly and give me a break. There was no forewarning for what i was about to see in such a sensitive case, it is shocking.

Research on attitudes towards electric cars suggests the majority of motorists in britain are not ready to buy one. More than half of those taking part in a trial by the transport Research Laboratory said they wouldnt invest in one within the next five years. 0ur transport correspondent tom burridge reports. Dad of two john cook with his relatively new petrol suv. For now at least, he decided an electric car was not right for long family trips to cornwall and they have no off street parking. There is definitely an increased cost in buying electric and also just where you go to charge the cars, you know, we live on a street so it would be quite difficult to have a charge on our street. John is typical of uk consumers. New Research Suggests most of us are simply not ready to buy electric. The non profit transport Research Laboratory gave 200 mainstream consumers full use of an electric car for four days. The experiment was repeated for similar petrol and hybrid models. Afterwards, more than half said they would probably not buy an electric car as their first vehicle within the next five years. Sales of the cars rose by 1a in britain last year, the smallest increase in any european country bar switzerland. The government denies that reducing its subsidy for electric cars has had a detrimental effect. Were getting lots of new electric cars coming onto the market and theres more competition and obviously thats starting to bring prices down as that happens. It becomes better to spread the money over a wider group and to encourage take up that way, and thats what weve done. Tom burridge, bbc news.

Thanks forjoining us. How did the banquette into this mess . Thanks forjoining us. How did the banquette into this mess7m miscalculated how risky quite a few of its looms were. Thanks have to have capital to their loans and how much capital they have to have depends on how risky these loans are. The bank underestimated that so therefore ended up with not enough capital so the bank of england told that it had to build up its capital buffers. Its not done that, raising another 375 million from shareholders in the last week. The bank of england says it now does have enough capital to keep going, so the immediate panic is over.

Challenger banks are finding their feet and what is quite a difficult sector generally. Its got some bad reputations to overcome and some bad reputations to overcome and so forth. I wondered whether we had maybe been a little bit too lenient with them because we want them to find their feet. With them because we want them to find theirfeet.

The Royal College of nursings annual congress will hear today from staff who say a change in the law has failed to tackle the number of people using the gas to get high. The home office says new psychoactive substances have already cost far too many lives. Heres our health correspondent, dominic hughes. They are a common sight, the discarded metal canisters that nitrous oxide is supplied in litter many parks and roadsides. But nurses say inhaling the gas to get high is not without risk. What people dont realise, using nitrous oxide, is the amount of physical and psychological damage that it can actually cause. These things can include burns to the throat, burns to the nasal area, blood clots, heart attacks and paralysis, as well as long term psychological damage. The most recent data for england and wales shows that more than one in ten young men aged between 16 and 2a used nitrous oxide, compared to 6. 5 of young women. Since 201a, use of the gas has been linked to five deaths each year. Nitrous oxide does have legal uses. For example, in catering shops to produce whipped cream. But nurses say this has helped to undermine legislation that was meant to make it illegal to supply the gas to those wanting to get high. Dominic hughes, bbc news.
