Gardner has the latest. In a country that prides itself on free speech and democracy, Israeli Police shut down the offices of aljazeera today, seizing its broadcast equipment. If you are watching this pre recorded report, then aljazeera has been banned in the territory of israel. This was one of its final broadcasts from jerusalem before the police arrived. The government accused the qatar based tv channel of incitement to terrorism, calling It A Mouthpiece for hamas. Its bureau chief called it a dangerous move. Israel cannot claim all the time that it is a democracy, and at the same time they are cutting, and preventing the journalists to do theirjob.

You say on the telly, we might not have any mps left if rishi sunak doesnt Change Course. And if youre paul scully, whos another former minister who was also on our programme, you say, its all looking pretty terrible and the party needs to take a breath, show some humility and stick to the centre.

Goals from mohammed salah, andy robertson, cody gakpo, and a top corner screamer from harvey elliott.

And in that period obviously, we cant see it in different ways, in the moment when we let them play, you see immediately what they can do. They were then flying and we had that game before a similar game, they werejust really good, but we controlled them for so long, always the most important. And, yeah Somebody Else
