They say that it establishes a hierarchy between Israeli court systems in a way that will confine the death penalty to Palestinians convicted of murdering Jewish citizens of Israel. “It will apply in territories with military courts, which are Palestinian courts.

Marc Cucurella launches extraordinary rant at Chelsea hierarchy - 'We've paid the price'Marc Cucurella has broken ranks to publicly criticise the Chelsea hierarchy's approach to player recruitment and say that Enzo Maresca shouldn't have been sackedView 3 Images Marc Cucurella spoke his mind on Chelsea's situation (Image: Javier Borrego/Europa Press via Getty Images)Chelsea's policy of prioritising youth over experience in player recruitment is jeopardising their chances of winning major trophies, according to Marc Cucurella. ‌Rosenior was recruited from Chelsea's sister club Strasbourg in January after the sacking of Enzo Maresca.

A ban on social media for under-16s is not the “right approach” and could push children towards more dangerous and unsupervised corners of the internet, Google’s UK boss has warned. Kate Alessi, managing director and vice-president of Google UK and Ireland, said the tech giant, which owns YouTube, is not supportive of “blanket bans” amid growing calls for governments to stop children having access to social media. A landmark court case in the US last week saw Facebook owner Meta and Google found liable for a woman’s childhood social media addiction through deliberately designing addictive products, and ordered to pay damages of $6m between them. Ms Alessi said Google does not agree with the verdict and plans to appeal. She said a social media ban is not the answer to children’s online wellbeing and cautioned if countries followed the lead of Australia, which introduced a world-first social media ban for under-16s in December, it could have unintended consequences.
