and a shock at the asian cup, with iraq through to the knockouts, after 2—1 win over the pre—tournament favourites japan. it's the first time they've lost in 26 group—stage games at the tournament. iraq are next up, they kick off against hong kong injust under three hours�* time and a win in qatar would mean they'd also reach the knockout stages, having already beaten palestine 4—1 in their opening group c game on sunday. the australian open first and wins for both defending champions in the men's and women's singles. novak djokovic was back on top form to get past tomas martin etcheverry in straight sets. the world number one, and 10 time champion in melbourne — had been struggling with illness but made easy work of his opponent to win 6—3, 6—3, 7—6. he said it was his best performance so far, on a landmark day his 100th match at the australian open. and a shock at the asian cup, with iraq through to the knockouts, the australian open first and wins for both defending

aryna sabalenka, the women's defending champion, will take some stopping, easing into the next round without dropping a game in her victory over lesia tsurenko. sabalenka needed just 52 minutes to win and set up a fourth round clash against american amanda anisimova. the 6—love 6—love scoreline saw sabalenka become the first player to win with a �*double bagel�* on an opponent since ash barty in 2021. and 16—year—old mirra andreeva continues her stunning run at melbourne with an incredible comeback to save match point in the third set and win on a tie break against france's diane parry andreeva's making her debut at the australian open, but has form in majors — also reaching the fourth round at wimbledon last year. and that's all the sport for now. ididn't i didn't really think that he would watch _ i didn't really think that he would watch a _ i didn't really think that he would watch a match and afterwards he would _ watch a match and afterwards he would tweet, he would comment something. honestly, iwilltry would tweet, he would comment something. honestly, i will try to print— something. honestly, i will try to print it _ something. honestly, i will try to print it out — something. honestly, i will try to print it out somehow, i will, i don't — print it out somehow, i will, i don't know, put it in a frame, bring it everywhere with me. i will maybe put it _ it everywhere with me. i will maybe put it on _ it everywhere with me. i will maybe put it on the — it everywhere with me. i will maybe put it on the wall sol it everywhere with me. i will maybe put it on the wall so i can see every— put it on the wall so i can see every day~ _ put it on the wall so i can see every day-—

christmas playlists of they don't include michael buble, the next thrown under the bus in a very public way and within a day or two, they are protesters outside of the abc studios, in some cases vandalism of the abc studios and all of a sudden, all across the country, australians are asking what happened to antoinette, what happened to our public broadcaster? it was shocking but also escalated very quickly and became public very quickly. leaked messaues became public very quickly. leaked messages from _ became public very quickly. leaked messages from that _ became public very quickly. leaked messages from that group - became public very quickly. leaked messages from that group of - became public very quickly. leaked l messages from that group of lawyers show them encouraging each other to complain, the more the better was one quote, another said they want the journalist one quote, another said they want thejournalist gone. did one quote, another said they want the journalist gone. did you know behind—the—scenes pressure was going on when you were terminated? yes. on when you were terminated? yes, and the whatsapp — on when you were terminated? use: and the whatsapp group is called lawyers for israel, they are australia based and to be honest i have no beef or issue with those who wish to lobby. people are free to join whatever whatsapp group they

join, in australia you have the freedom to assemble whether you are a corporation, advocacy group or religious group. even if i think your demands outlandish. and your claims are baseless. i have concerns when a lobby group seems to have seems to have a direct channel, access to very senior people, in this case the chair of the board at the abc. and can influence an outcome so rapidly. i wanted to point out there that while i might have ideological differences with those in that whatsapp group, they can lobby all they like but our public broadcasterjust like the bbc is meant to be independent and impartial and when it appears it's not, all of a sudden this becomes a really big political and free speech issue in australia. interact they deny they were pressured. but they were pressured, they had direct correspondent and were celebrating my sacking. and they were then also saying that what can we do to make sure that abc doesn't settle with

antoinette? this was a really yorker stated attack to not only target me, and ruin my reputation but send a warning shot to otherjournalists. criticise israel, use your voice, in a public domain and there will be consequences. it is a public domain and there will be consequences.— consequences. it is true is it not abc told you _ consequences. it is true is it not abc told you not _ consequences. it is true is it not abc told you not to _ consequences. it is true is it not abc told you not to post - consequences. it is true is it not l abc told you not to post anything consequences. it is true is it not - abc told you not to post anything on social media and you broke their social media and you broke their social media and you broke their social media policy? ida. social media and you broke their social media policy?— social media policy? no. that is dis - uted social media policy? no. that is disputed and — social media policy? no. that is disputed and i _ social media policy? no. that is disputed and i do _ social media policy? no. that is disputed and i do dispute - social media policy? no. that is disputed and i do dispute that l social media policy? no. that is i disputed and i do dispute that and my lorries will continue. i was told i am being watched closely. and to be careful. there was a comment, maybe stay off twitter to which i responded i am a journalist i don't stay off twitter, i am very active, what i can do is if i only share and amplify reputable sources in the examples i gave if another journalist is killed, i am going to post. if amnesty international, i'm british aid. my manager's words were

if it is reputable, it is factual. i reposted a human rights watch post with the attribution saying human rights watch reporting starvation as a tool of war. no commentary, no adjectives, no emojis, nothing. within your case you have extended it to include race. tell me why. because the australian media unfortunately has a track record of treating people of colour, most pointedly and most obviously the way treats first nations indigenous people in the public eye or the media, differently. there are people at the abc who share the human rights watch post who work in news and current affairs who were not deemed to be controversial and were not axed. there are people in that building to, and i would argue rightly so, provide far more inflammatory, in one case defamatory social media posts in which the public broadcaster paid for their

legal case to defend this journalist, thatjournalist remains on air, the difference is they are white and i have an arab background. all i did was post a human rights watch. attributing it to human rights watch. and i got fired. australia's industry minister says people should not feel theirjobs are under threat if they express peaceful views. you have had members of the abc threatening to have walk—outs, hundreds of staff. do you see this case now as beyond you and a bigger case than just new? absolutely, it absolutely is and what is interesting is the weight has unify people that are ideological not aligned. people from conservative think tanks have reached out to me worried about how this impinges on foot free speech. there are anti—war protesters outside of the abc, journalists of all ages and backgrounds worried about whether or not abc is truly independent and whether it bounced to lobby groups. this helped galvanise a lot of people from

various sectors of australia who would ordinarily not agree and barrack for the one cause. all in my corner, wondering how can this happen? what does this say about free speech and who is allowed to speak and have an opinion? and what is it say about our taxpayer dollars which fund the abc? which seems to treat views is more controversial than others and which appear to be influenced by whatsapp group. we asked the abc network for a response, they referred us to the response, they referred us to the response they have launched defending in that legal action which says she had failed to comply with directions not to post on social media matters of controversy and denied that race played any part in their decision. let's talk now to be former executive director of human rights watch who has posted on this story. welcome to the programme. your reaction to this case? it is worth sending _ your reaction to this case? it is

otherwise by the japanese authorities. fascinating to watch those details and we will return to that story a little later. castillo has confirmed plans to in the last few hours the indian company tata steel has confirmed plans to close blast furnaces at its plant in port talbot, south wales britain's biggest steelworks with the loss of up to 2,800 jobs. tata said in a statement: "tata steel today announced it will commence statutory consultation as part of its plan to transform and restructure its uk business. "this plan is intended to reverse more than a decade of losses and transition from the legacy blast furnaces to a more sustainable, green steel business. following the confirmation, the general secretary of steelworkers' union community, says tata's announcement is "unacceptable" and claimed the uk's primary steel—making capacity will be "decimated". but a uk government spokesperson said: "we are determined to secure a sustainable and competitive future for the uk steel sector". the government has committed 500 million pounds towards the cost of the new, electric arc furnace. uk prime minister rishi sunak has been asked about this — let's listen to what he had to say. earlier we spoke to national officer for steel at community union, alun davies who's at port talbot

turning that into steel, all those posts will close. where will workers go? there are no immediate options in the port talbot or south wales area. we know the other major steel is moving towards an electric arc furnace so there is concern as to where the skills, where that work will move in the future. also the money that comes from this steel plant helps fund many otherjobs in terms of suppliers, shops and cafe is in town. i was at one cathy earlier on he said after 13 years more than likely they will have to close their doors in a few months as well. this has brought real anxiety to a community which was brought up alongside the steel community and whilst there is talk of a freeport coming here, maybe a jet aviation plan in the future there is nowhere immediately for workers to go. to a fascinating story. tiara

you could be looking for compensation in that amount. the two people who have brought the lawsuit are launching it as a class action, looking for otherfans are launching it as a class action, looking for other fans who want compensation to come forward and join them in the court action. we don't know yet how many more will do that. i think madonna fans, die—hard madonna fans know she has this reputation late and when i saw her in london, the opening night of the celebration tour she was about one hour late on stage that night. there was a technicalfault hour late on stage that night. there was a technical fault with the sound system that stopped the show for about 15 minutes. and it did end again very late that night, it has happened all the way through europe in quite a few american dates too. i suppose the organisers perhaps can argue with a history of that when they bought the tickets perhaps they should have known and perhaps accepted that was a possibility. it will be interesting how this gets argued but in terms of what the

plaintiffs are seeing in terms of the damage to them, what is that apart from the irritation of it? in the court documents they see many ticket holders who attend the concerts on a weeknight had to get up concerts on a weeknight had to get up early to go to work the next day. that they were left stranded with limited transport options when they left the venue at 1am. i went and checked my ticket, this is it, madonna at the o2 checked my ticket, this is it, madonna at the 02 last october and it doesn't have a start time on it. it says doors open at 6:30pm button is not say what time she will be on stage. the tiniest small print you will ever see on the back says all advertised times are approximate and subject to change so they might come unstuck with those conditions. by, lot unstuck with those conditions. a lot of artists might _ unstuck with those conditions. a lot of artists might be _ unstuck with those conditions. a lot of artists might be quaking in their boots if it is successful?— boots if it is successful? madonna is not the only _ boots if it is successful? madonna is not the only one, _ boots if it is successful? madonna is not the only one, you _ boots if it is successful? madonna is not the only one, you may i is not the only one, you may rememberfamously is not the only one, you may remember famously lana del rey was pulling at glastonbury and turned up
