1:06 am
a certain level. so they say that to go on for the next few hours me while people are being told to stay away from the water. but as i say, as you can see for the surface, at least on the joggers, vannador walkers and everyone else, the volleyball players along the beach further along the coast. there they're taking very little notice of out, ah, the chinese capital aging has reported its 1st community case of the army con variant of covered holstead cases from the cities northwest in high dan district. china detected its 1st case of on the con in the community last week in the northern city of t and gen, prompting a snap locked down less than 2 weeks until paging host the winter olympics. meanwhile, several indian cities, including the capital, new daily of gone into a strict locked down this weekend. an effort to control a surge of clover case as their shops had been closed except for essential businesses. country reported nearly 270000 new cases on saturday. the highest

1:08 am
week daily. so it's highest thing to dislike. since the pandemic began, the positivity rate here is 30 percent, which means that every talk test is positive. now other restrictions continue through the week. there's a night garfield schools have been closed. restaurants are only open for deliveries, and most people are working from home. models of gillian, so it's a big loss for us. a full lockdown is actually better because at least we can go back to a village and there during these regions confuse and we don't on anything right now for the country. several cities like you jelly and one by half see cases def, slightly, but that's because of testing which has dropped authorities are now prioritizing death for high risk patients. so asymptomatic contact of cobra. 9000 patients have been asked to simply self isolate. so even though it looks like cases have plateaued, positivity rate has gone up. now, amid all of this log scale gatherings or religious gatherings rather have continued
1:09 am
even as most of the country has been under some form of restriction for some time now. west been gone, which is hosting the largest gathering, has seen its highest single day spike since the beginning of the pandemic. now, the courts there are asking authorities to consider postponing upcoming civic pools because of the grown of our situation in the state. now tennis number one, know that jokers which will soon learn whether he will be able to play in y'all's training open, which starts on monday in the past hour job, which left his detention hotel in melbourne for the hearing, which lawyers will appeal the australian government's decision to revoke his visa for a 2nd time, government says joker, which is a health and public order risk because he is not vaccinated against cove it. so how did we get here? will joker, which was denied entry to australia on january 5th, because he did not meet the cove requirements. 30 sent the tennis star to an immigration detention hotel in melbourne. jock of it appealed that decision,
1:10 am
arguing his coven infection in december, men. he was exempt from vaccine requirements, a court over tongue, a decision, and ordered his release. and organizes of the australian open included him in the tennis championship. but on friday, immigration minister alex hawk used his discretionary powers to cancel joker, which is visa again, on the health and public order grounds. let's meet sarah clark. she joins us now from brisbin. one of the arguments likely to be at this federal court hearing, what's it gonna come down to will this tice gets underway in the next little while the case will determine whether or not the federal government acted unreasonably when they decided to rescind jock of his visa as you mentioned, a joke of inches tame or the foundation i should say, the government's case, and they're arguing that joke of it is presence in australia, a poses a health risk. now this is not because on an individual scale,
1:11 am
but certainly his high profile status and his high profile opposition to man if you vaccination could flare or few anti vaccination sentiment. so they basing their arguments on that joke of it as legal team is saying that the federal government hasn't presented enough evidence to note this. they're arguing that the minister took an illogical and irrational approach. and as a result of cited no evidence, they believe that a shows a joke of it does pose a health risk in australia, alex whole cuz the immigration minister, he did use his discretionary powers to ivan, turned a court decision earlier in the week and he's had the visa cancelled revoked a 2nd time the questions that many people are asking however, is that why now why did the federal government lit jock of its board the plane and arrive in australia only to rescind will cancel his visa on arrival? the 2nd question is, why is that taken until now for the government to raise their concerns about sa, joke of its posing this health risks to australian. so this is the 2nd federal
1:12 am
court appearance and, and just over a week. and we do expect this to be the, the decider on the eve of the australian open. and is it likely that he will play in the australian open? with that is the big question. he still is in the main jaw he set to play the 1st round of his tournament on monday evening against a fellow serb. no joke of it has won this tournament 9 times. he wants to win at a tent time. he wants to defend his australian open title. he also wants to win his 21st grand slam. now, if the government's deportation order is upheld in court, a joke which would be $3738.00 before he can return to australia. because along with the staple taishan his bees, it would be bad for 3 years. so not only does dr. rich have a lot riding on this, the government does to this is an election year. and some have suggested that this case is politically motivated. as a result, and the federal government wants to make a point that they've stated again and again that rules are rules. and the strategy you must remember has imposed some of the toughest border restrictions in the world
1:13 am
