The latest five minute news bulletin from BBC World Service.

The world's Newsroom brings you global events as they happen

Sportworld will have the latest on the Manchester City’s fight with the Premier League after being found guilty of all charges related to breaches of Premier League financial rules between the 2009-10 and 2017-18 seasons. We’ll talk international football and what managers and teams have learnt over the international window and discuss an historic first meeting between Brazil and India, as well as Burkina Faso’s first ever game against Argentina and other games in Africa. Away from football, with Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury’s fight no longer looking to be in jeopardy, we look down the years at other fights which took a long time to arrange and ask whether the eventual fights were worth the wait. We’ll also look back on Sandpapergate, as Australia prepare to take on South Africa in their first Test in South Africa since the famous scandal. There’s also the Formula One’s Bahrain Grand Prix in Malaysia, the conclusion of the Asian Games, WNBA playoffs as well as China Open tennis. And we’ll go to Mallorca, where a team led by Rafa Nadal will take on a team led by Andy Murray as the two legends meet on the court for the first time in a decade, as part of the Rafa Nadal Academy’s 10th Anniversary celebrations.
