Listen to the news:

Tennis - Former Wimbledon champion Boris Becker has been released from prison after serving eight months of his sentence for hiding £2.5m worth of assets and loans to avoid paying debts.

The 55-year-old German was jailed for two and a half years in April after being found guilty of four charges under the Insolvency Act. The BBC understands Becker will be deported from the United Kingdom.

F1 - Mick Schumacher is to be the Mercedes reserve driver in 2023. The German, son of seven-time champion Michael Schumacher, lost his race seat for 2023 when the Haas team dropped him in favour of veteran Nico Hulkenberg. Schumacher's Mercedes role will see him work in the team's simulator and be ready to stand in should Lewis Hamilton or George Russell be unable to race.

Football - Real Madrid have signed Brazilian teenage prodigy Endrick from Palmeiras. The 16-year-old forward, who has been touted as one of Brazil's best upcoming talents, will join the European and Spanish champions in July 2024. This is due to Fifa rules prohibiting players under the age of 18 from being transferred abroad.
