row spread to scotland where coverage of sport on radio and television was affected. bbc scotland say "sportscene will run this evening on bbc one scotland and bbc scotland, with an amended format similar to current plans for match of the day. some of the sportsound slot on radio scotland was replaced by pre—recorded material." prime minister, rishi sunak, has just issued a statement about the row. he says "as prime minister, i have to do what i believe is right, respecting that not everyone will always agree. that is why i have been unequivocal in my approach to stopping the boats. gary lineker was a great footballer and is a talented presenter. i hope that the current situation between gary lineker and the bbc can be resolved in a timely manner, but it is rightly a matter for them, not the government." the opposition labour party leader sir keir starmer has criticised the bbc�*s decision. the bbc is not acting impartially by caving in to tory mps who are complaining about gary lineker. they've got this one badly wrong
