games of the season. his contract was due to run for another two years but he said he made the decision to go now, as he was running out of energy for thejob. liverpool have won every major honour since the german has been at the helm, including the champions league in 2019 and a first league title for 30 years a season later. being the manager of liverpool is obviously a fairy tale and a very difficult thing to plan, i would say impossible to plan and difficult to reach. but it is only possible if you are very busy and 100,000% committed to everything you do and you dedicate your whole life to it. that is what i did. and... i came here, as i said, on the first day as a normal guy. i am still a normal guy. ijust don't live a normal life, for too long now. and i don't want to wait until i am too old for having a normal life.

and although djokovic rallied to take the third, the world number one was outclassed by the italian in the fourth, who took it 6 3, ending djokovic�*s 33 match winning streak at the australian open and sealing a his place in sunday's final his first in a grand slam. and medvedev came back in stunning fashion to make his third australian open final. he was two sets down to alex zverev, but battled back levelling the match 2—2. both counter at highbury, lasting more than four hours. —— both going to a tie—break. meanwhile, there was mixed doubles success for hsieh su wei and jan zielinski after the beat the pairing of desirae krawczyk and neal skupski in three sets. just interrupt our sports programme and bring you this breaking development. president cyril ramaphosa, south africa's president, is speaking in response to the earlier icj ruling, let's take a listen. ., , . , , listen. to prevent and punish incitement — listen. to prevent and punish incitement to _ listen. to prevent and punish incitement to genocide. - listen. to prevent and punish - incitement to genocide. furthermore, we should take immediate and effective measures to allow basic

and effective services and humanitarian assistance in the form of food, medication and other basic necessities. to gaza. and it should also preserve evidence of what is happening in gaza. and lastly, it should submit a report within a month on all measures taken to give effect to the icj order within one month. this order is binding on israel and must be respected by all states that a party to the convention on the prevention and punishment of the crime of genocide. we expect israel, as a self—proclaimed democracy, and a state that respects the rule of law, to abide by the measures handed down by the international court of justice. after more than half a

century of occupation, dispossession, oppression and apartheid, the palestinian people's cries for justice apartheid, the palestinian people's cries forjustice have been heeded by an eminent organ of the united nations. today israel stands before the international community, its crimes against the palestinians laid bare. since october last year, the people of gaza have been the victims of bombardment and strikes from land, sea and air. homes, refugee camps, and entire neighbourhoods have been destroyed and not even schools and hospitals and religious places have been spared. the people of gaza have been deprived of electricity, fuel, food and medical supplies. according to the united

nations, more than 25,000 people have been killed during israel's war with hamas. and we hold the view that this has been collective punishment against palestinians in the gaza strip. among the dead are relief workers, united nations staff who have died in their hundreds, as well as generalists who have also died in their hundreds. —— journalists who have also died in their hundreds. thousands of the dead are women and children. in october 2023, the united nations children's fund said gaza has become a graveyard for thousands of children. born and unborn. according to the united nations, thousands of children were killed injust

to the united nations, thousands of children were killed in just the first three weeks of the current conflict. as south africa argued in its application to the international court ofjustice, the high civilian death toll and the sheer scale of the devastation that has resulted from israel's response to the seventh october attacks is vastly disproportionate to the aim by israel... we have called israel's attacks on gaza genocidal acts, acts for which israel should and must be held accountable. today the international court ofjustice concluded... it hasjurisdiction international court ofjustice concluded... it has jurisdiction to adjudicate our application. the

effect of order that the icj has given today is that there is a plausible case of genocide. this marks an important first in our quest to securejustice marks an important first in our quest to secure justice for the people of gaza. some have told us that we should mind their own business and not get involved in the affairs of other countries. others have said it was not our place. and yet it is very much a replace as a people who know too well the pain of dispossession, discrimination, state—sponsored violence. we are also people who were the victims of the crime of apartheid. we know what apartheid looks like. we experienced and lived through it. sadly, many people died and were exiled, like

our beloved leader oliver tambo and many others, others were jailed like the father of our democracy, nelson mandela, and many others that for us was the face of apartheid. we as south africans will not be passive bystanders and watch the crimes that were visited upon us being perpetrated upon other people elsewhere. we stand on the side of freedom for all. we stand on the side ofjustice. 30 years ago, following ourfirst side ofjustice. 30 years ago, following our first democratic elections, president nelson mandela declared, let there bejustice elections, president nelson mandela declared, let there be justice for all. let there be peace for all. never, neverand neveragain

all. let there be peace for all. never, never and never again shall it be that this beautiful land will again experience the oppression of one by another. and so we say again today, never, neverand neveragain shall it be that acts of genocide perpetrated with impunity as we, the international community, look on. we firmly believe that following this judgment, there should now be a more concerted effort towards a ceasefire and negotiations should commence on and negotiations should commence on a permanent two state solution. for enabling israel and palestine to live side by side as independent states. the palestinians having attained their self—determination.

south africa thanked all in the international community and there have been millions of people around the world who have supported our application, including a number of countries who have declared their intention to be part of our application to the international court ofjustice. we will not waver in our commitment to the palestinian people. and their quest for self—determination. our own painful history obliges us to do no less. we thank the international court of justice for upholding its role of achieving justice, promoting peace, preventing genocide and holding those responsible for genocide to be accountable. it is our earnest hope and wish that this court order paves

the way for an end to this crisis. and this painful experience that palestinians are going through. and we hope for an end to the terrible loss of life and hardship, and for the crucial first step is to be taken the crucial first step is to be ta ken towards the crucial first step is to be taken towards reconciliation and a just, lasting peace. lastly, iwould like to extend my gratitude to our lawyers, the lawyers who presented our case to the international court, and of course gratitude to our minister ofjustice and minister of justice and constitutional affairs, and minister ofjustice and constitutional affairs, and also our minister of international relations, who is currently at the hague. i thank you.
