Can A Gamer Be An Athlete?

Ninja is the first professional gamer to feature on the cover of ESPN Magazine

Ninja is the first professional gamer to feature on the cover of ESPN Magazine. His real name is Tyler Blevins and he's most famous for playing Fortnite. He has more than 11 million followers on Twitch. But not everyone agrees he's an athlete. We speak to the journalist who wrote the ESPN article on him.

Also, the Indian cabinet has approved an executive order to make instant divorce among Muslims - known as the "Triple Talaq" - a punishable offence. We hear from our correspondent in Delhi.

And the chief executive of Danske Bank has resigned in the wake of a money-laundering scandal involving its Estonian operation. Our BBC Russian colleague brings us the latest.
