so tennis australia officials, the most senior tennis australia officials are absolutely furious at the federal government and they believe there was a political element to the decision. and these reports that australian border force are now investigating two other individuals who have been issued medical exemptions. can you tell us anything about that? this is another source of tennis australia's deep frustration. there was another player and another official who in the days before djokovic arrived, arrived into australia using the same medical exemption. so tennis australia is wondering how they got in on the same exact exemption that djokovic got blocked on. border force officials now say they will review those cases again and i tell you that the border force officials arrived at one of our main hotels in victoria last night, the crown casino hotel, just to search for this player and i am not sure if they actually found him or her. we don't know who it is. it may be the case that those two were allowed into the country erroneously or maybe they had the additional documentation to pro

right now, australia doesn't allow people to come to australia unless they are double vaccinated all they have an exemption. and so the tennis officials set up an independent panel, which appeared to approve some sort of exemption for djokovic, which gave him the confidence to come to australia in the first place. now, what's happened since then, he's arrived at the border and the federal government, which has courage of immigration issues, they're ones that will allow him into the country, they have looked more closely his paperwork and have decided that he doesn't qualify for an exemption. now, these are private matters, we don't know exactly what novak djokovic has applied for with regard to this exemption, so at the moment it is speculation. but there has been a degree of discussion around the potential that he may have applied for some sort of exemption in regards to having covid in the past. and perhaps the federal government's border officials have read more strictly into the exemptions and not allowed djokovic the same kind of permission the state government officials had pro

it's a very unfortunate situation for australia. it's becoming very embarrassing. the prospect of djokovic�*s deportation has sparked a sporting and diplomatic storm and, today, former wimbledon champion andy murray weighed in, saying the row is really not good for tennis at all. the anger continues in his home country of serbia, with another day of protests in the capital belgrade and fury from his family. his mother dijana criticised the living conditions where he's being kept. translation: they locked him up, because it is a prison, - the place he is in right now. it is not a detention facility, it is a prison. they are not giving him breakfast. he only gets lunch and dinner. for breakfast, nothing. this was djokovic arriving on wednesday. his legal team say he was granted a vaccine exemption from tennis australia because he tested positive for covid—19 on 16 december. that was also the day when these pictures were taken, showing the tennis player maskless at a ceremony in serbia, where he was honoured with his own postage stamps. it's unclear at which point

a temperature that high hasn't been seen in australia for 60 years. the country has experienced heat related disasters in recent years — there were devastating bush fires in 2019 and 2020. but is it due to climate change? i asked professor lesley hughes from mc-quarry university to explain why this is happening. well, the world is in a long—term global warming trend and while average temperatures are often what is recorded, long—term trend also means that the incidence of extreme events like hottest ever records are also inevitable and that is so piercing in western what we're seeing in western australia at the moment. for the conditions there now and how are people coping with these sorts of temperatures? we think virtually everyone is inside with a air—conditioning if they have it. if your inside and have air conditioning, you can sit it out because being outside and 50 plus degrees is extremely dangerous to human health. but of course, not everyone can afford air conditioning or have access to air conditioning and an article this morning in

it's a story that made headlines here in australia and around the world. for days, novak djokovic has been on the court training, and now, the government has announced its decision. the tennis star's visa has been cancelled again and, for the second time, he faces deportation from australia. in his statement, the country's immigration minister alex hawke said today: the prime minister, scott morrison, said the sacrifices australians made throughout the pandemic should be protected. mr morrison's government has faced heavy criticism for allowing the unvaccinated player into australia in the first place while the country struggled with a spike in covid—i9 case numbers. i think it was a pretty mess—up that they did, but now i think they corrected the way. it's unfortunate that novak won't be playing, you know, the tournament — it's a pretty big loss. yeah, i think if everyone else has to follow the rules, why can't he? and, obviously, he thought he was above it all. andy murray says the controversy has been bad for the sport. itjust seems like it's drag

let's turn to australia. the country's immigration minister has cancelled novak djokovic's visa for a second time, just three days before the world men's tennis number one is due to defend his australian open title in melbourne. the minister, alex hawke, said he'd made the decision on the grounds of "health and good order", as the row continues about djokovic's right to remain in the country unvaccinated. his lawyers are now trying to stop him being deported. we'll have more from serbia in a moment, and i'llspeak to the former australian foreign minister alexander downer, but first shaimaa khalil has the latest from melbourne. twice today, novak djokovic was on the court training. and a few hours later, the government finally announced its decision. the tennis star's visa has been cancelled again, and for the second time he faces deportation from australia. in his statement, the country's immigration minister, alex hawke, said... the prime minister, scott morrison, said the decision followed careful considera

and 100% against australia. you would not have wanted to be reading the serbian media if you are the australian prime minister, scott morrison, they said some fruity things about him, but novak djokovic is their hero and there has beenjubilation in serbia when the judge delivered his verdict. a lot of trepidation when it occurred to people that there was still the possibility of ministerial intervention that could still see novak djokovic deported from australia but finally we are now seeing some degree of relief that he is out of detention for the moment. we are going to be able to take a pause for breath and thought. if you talk to folk around you, of course they are frustrated with novak djokovic, if they have been vaccinated, they say, "why doesn't he just get it done? "it would have been easy." interesting. we wait to see what happens next. we hear that djokovic is training and he has taken advantage of the court ruling to get out on the court but there are warnings from the government, or we suspect there

novak djokovic flew to | australia believing he had a medical waiverfrom australia believing he had a medical waiver from covid—19 vaccination. australian's immigration rules during the pandemic state that all foreign nationals coming into the country must either be fully vaccinated or have a genuine a medical reason not to be so to have that exemption. now novak djokovic had a waiverfrom that exemption. now novak djokovic had a waiver from tennis australia, the governing body that organises the governing body that organises the australian open and also the victorious state government. however, when he arrived at melbourne's international airport 11 days ago, federal authorities challenged about waiver and so began this saga that included his detention two challenges inquired, and ultimately his deportation from australia, what it means for novak djokovic well, time will tell. will it be into any? embarrassment? humiliation? orwill it be into any? embarrassment? humiliation? or will be hit allowed to come back in the future and have another go? the prime minister is in drilling out
