00:27Recent figures also cement estimations that warming is now at levels not seen for 115,000

01:17his £195 million release clause, club president Josep Maria Bartomeu has told BBC Sport.

01:49by a judge.
01:50Manhattan State Supreme Court Judge Gerald Labovitz ordered Gotta Have It collectibles
01:55to pull 22 items from its rock-and-roll-themed auction scheduled for today.
02:01The material girl had earlier sought an emergency court order, saying she was shocked to learn
02:06of the planned online auction of the Tupac letter and had no idea it was no longer in
02:12her possession.
02:13And finally, the weather, today's high across the UAE will be 47 degrees Celsius, dropping
