The squad had initially paused discussions ahead of the Women's World Cup, where England finished runners-up after losing the final to Spain. But the FA's decision not to offer the England team bonus payments on top of the fees they will earn from FIFA had been a bone of contention in the build-up to the tournament. FIFA had announced a financial contribution specifically earmarked for all World Cup players, which meant the allocation per England squad member was $195,000 as they were runners-up. England manager Sarina Wiegman said she was expecting the agreement and looked forward to turning attention back to football. "The conversations had been going really well but the World Cup was ahead of us, so they needed to stop and then start up after the World Cup," she said.

MOSCOW, June 21 (Reuters) - President Vladimir Putin said on Wednesday that Russia's new generation of Sarmat intercontinental ballistic missiles, which are capable of carrying 10 or more nuclear warheads, would soon be deployed for combat duty. In a speech to new graduates of military academies, Putin stressed the importance of Russia's "triad" of nuclear forces that can be launched from land, sea or air. "The most important task here is the development of the nuclear triad, which is a key guarantee of Russia's military security and global stability," he said. Putin has repeatedly said since the start of the Ukraine conflict that Russia is ready to use all means, including nuclear weapons, to defend its "territorial integrity". The new Sarmat missile is designed to carry out nuclear strikes on targets thousands of missiles away in the United States or Europe.
