somebody else unvaccinated is novak djokovic, i unvaccinated is novak djokovic, telegraph sports section on the back pages talk about him facing a grand slam band, and whether he will be able to go and play in the french open and wimbledon. it is already unlikely he is going to play in the us open, and he is treading at his zist us open, and he is treading at his 21st grand slam, isn't he, sienna, this record? looks like he might not be able to do it this year at least. yes, obviously in the last few weeks, i hate listening to sport news in the morning, when he comes on radio four — "don't care, please! please move onto the political stuff!" but recently it has been the novak djokovic stuff, the stewing and probing between the government and probing between the government and the courts there, what to do about the fact he is unvaccinated, and in the end, he was deported, and i we are talking about, will be allowed to play in the french open —— the toing—and—froing. he faces being locked out of three of the four majors, and interestingly wimbledon also give no assurances it woul

will he or won't he cancel novak djokovic's visa. there is a lot of speculation in the mediation australia that that decision could happen today. and so, it is all up in the air at the moment. all up in the airfor sure but if that does happen and it is a big "if" here, what options does novak djokovic have? if novak djokovic visa is cancelled once again, it would certainly go back to court. he has huge wealth behind him, his legal team, extremely experienced as we saw on the court case earlier this week. of the immigration minister decides to cancel the visa, almost certainly a court case will follow. of course, times of the essence here. it is friday morning here in melbourne and the australian open on monday. so, whichever way this long—running saga is going to turn, it will have to turn pretty quickly given as we say, the first grand slam of the year starts pretty soon here. and against that weather, i do not envy the players or the spectators. thank you for that. just to say, the final question is what's the perception of how t

malcolm wants to talk about novak djokovic. he says djokovic must leave australia before the tournament begins. apart from all else, it would be unfair on his first round opponent and others to get knocked out only to find that he then gets deported when he shouldn�*t have been playing in the first place. we will bring you the latest news headlines in a few minutes. now it�*s time for a look at the weather with matt. thank you and good morning. a frosty start in england and wales, temperatures at —5 in oxford. mist and fog around. high pressure that is in charge. you can see where it is in charge. you can see where it is centred, to the south of us, pushing the rain bearing clouds to the north and to the east of us. that is why things are rather dry. lighter winds in the south, the issueis lighter winds in the south, the issue is around london and the south—east, medium to high levels of pollution today, so on top of the general traffic pollution you normally see. of course still some lingering mist and fog patches in t
