it should mean he's able to defend his title starting next week in melbourne but he could still be thrown out of the country. that's because the country's immigration minister, alex hawke, could use personal powers at his disposal to revoke his visa. the controversy around djokovic's attendance at the tournament has divided fans in the city of melbourne. he isa he is a selfish, nonvaccinated, and i think he has strayed from the truth and the sort of understanding in respect of covid—i9 that all of us, victorians, have lived through, and i think you should be sent back on the next plane. i think it is also strange _ back on the next plane. i think it is also strange that - back on the next plane. i think it is also strange that the - it is also strange that the government keeps changing their mind _ government keeps changing their mind about things. i don't understand why there is such a bil understand why there is such a big fuss— understand why there is such a big fuss about it, just let him play — big fuss about it, just let him play. of_ big fuss about it, just let him play. of course, keeping in

it is a matter for the commonwealth government, whether the immigration minister uses his quite extraordinary powers, that is a matter for him. i don't want to offer any further comment than that because you couldn't get a more active process. but of course i stand by my comments and our record reflects that we have not sought to, in fact quite the opposite, we have not sought to convince the commonwealth government to allow anyone in, quite the opposite. joining me live is daniel estrin, an immigration lawyer in australia. the plot thickens, as it were, but at the moment novak djokovic is getting down to some much—needed practice. give us your take on what may happen next. , ., , ., _ us your take on what may happen next. __ ., , next. usually i would say this is the end — next. usually i would say this is the end of _ next. usually i would say this is the end of the _ next. usually i would say this is the end of the matter i next. usually i would say this is the end of the matter but i is the end of the matter but having witnessed the court hearing and the final remarks by the minister's lawyers, which were very specific about

the section that the minister may all can use the right to use and cancel djokovic's visa afresh, i think there is a good chance the minister will ring you consider cancelling the visa under the extraordinary powers minister has. what is extraordinary is how unremarkable it is. we have seen these kinds of measures quite regularly as immigration lawyers, people have their visas cancelled every day at the airport on possibly much less spurious grounds and with much less time given to actually respond to these kinds of matters, and it's not unusualfor of matters, and it's not unusual for the minister to sweep in an exercise his or her powers to cancel if he or she does not like a decision of the tribunal or court. it is unremarkable from an immigration lawyer's point of view but quite extraordinary because we are dealing with the world's number one tennis player here. it world's number one tennis player here-— player here. it is extraordinary i player here. it is l extraordinary from player here. it is i extraordinary from that

perspective and so for the country's immigration minister, alex hawke, huge pressure on him from both sides, i would imagine, but if he were to, you know, overrule, as it were, the court's decision over whether djokovic should be in australia, could it bejust djokovic should be in australia, could it be just for this particular year or longer than that? 50 this particular year or longer than that?— this particular year or longer than that? . , ., ., than that? so the decision that the minister _ than that? so the decision that the minister can _ than that? so the decision that the minister can make - than that? so the decision that the minister can make is i than that? so the decision that the minister can make is to i the minister can make is to cancel the visa if it is in the public interest, hopefully on the same grounds as the airport cancelled djokovic's visa because he may have been at risk or threatened the public health in australia. the effect of that decision would essentially be to cancel djokovic's these are, without noticed, i may add and he would have to apply to have the visa reinstated or what is called a revocation. what that means is that lives on in a precarious situation and he would have to be detained until a decision is made whether or not to revoke that status. when he leaves the

commonwealth of australia he would be subject to a three—year exclusion period, which could be waived under sternal circumstances, but we could argue that a clan slam tournament — as you could argue that a grand slam tournament does bring money to australia and it is a really bad situation for djokovic and for australia and are becoming for a state which prides itself on a state which prides itself on a solid separation of powers to have the ping—pong between the minister and the courts. i don't think that is right for australia to be doing that, thatis australia to be doing that, that is my point of view. cousin should we hear from alex hawke? ., ., cousin should we hear from alex hawke? . ., , ., hawke? that a good question. he is obviously _ hawke? that a good question. he is obviously deliberating - hawke? that a good question. he is obviously deliberating to i is obviously deliberating to make shore there is no accusations that he has not considered all documents. —— how she two soon. things have come out in the media for example has been things like the travel documentation and

also matters about appearances mask less immediately after being testing positive for covid—i9, so i would imagine the pressure is on for the minister to make a decision one way or another in the next few days, which will be quite controversial for border force officers to detain novak djokovic. that would be an hour in the coffin for the australian government. we'll kee - australian government. we'll kee- a australian government. we'll keep a close _ australian government. we'll keep a close eye _ australian government. we'll keep a close eye and - australian government. we'll keep a close eye and will- australian government. we'll i keep a close eye and will make shore our view is no immediately. thank you for your expertise on this story. now to the uk, where it's emerged that as many as 100 people received an emailfrom the british prime minister's private secretary inviting them to a drinks gathering in the downing street garden in may 2020. at the time social contact was strictly limited, with england under full lockdown. it's estimated that around 30 people attended — the latest in a barrage of criticism over alleged

parties in government offices, in breach of covid—i9 lockdowns. 0ur political editor, laura kuenssberg, has the latest. the principle private secretary's job is in the shadows, organising the lives of the public and powerful. martin reynolds�* role was not, you may think, to organise a party during a lockdown. an invite leaked to itv news from behind the black door sent to around 100 of number 10's staff. the prime minister today declining to get into the details of any such socialising. all of that, as you know, is the subject of a proper investigation by sue grey. so have you already been interviewed by sue grey, and if not, do you object to her questioning you again about this? all that is subject for an investigation by sue grey. remember back then, in the horror of spring 2020, the rules were strict and clear — you could spend time outdoors with people you lived with or with only one other person.

and, yet, in the building where the rules were being made, a plan was formed for a gathering in downing street's garden on may 20,2020. i'm told around 30 people attended, including, according to two eyewitnesses, the prime minister and his wife, with a long table set out in the garden for drinks and snacks. and there was surprise and concern among some staff at the plan. eyebrows more than raised at the e—mail invite sent out by martin reynolds in black and white. messages sent between staff and shown tonight to the bbc show that some were well aware of the problem. 0ne wrote at the time: another said: all a number ten spokesperson would say tonight was: for weeks, the prime minister's

had to defend himself from a deluge of goings—on in downing street. he said again and again nothing went wrong. i have been repeatedly assured, since these allegations emerged, that there was no party and that...and that no covid rules were broken, and that is what i have been repeatedly assured. but for labour's deputy, this latest set of claims is a step too far. i think he should go. i mean, there is no excuses, and it will come as no surprise that i don't think boris johnson is up for thejob, but more importantly, i think he's lost the confidence of the british public now with his lies, his deceit and his breaking of his own rules. labour shouldn't hold its breath for that, but borisjohnson just can't shake off claims about his own behaviour during lockdown and the conduct of those right by his side. laura kuenssberg, bbc news, westminster. stay with us on bbc news, still to come: scientists fear

for marine life. but visitors could be bringing some unwelcome creatures to this frozen place. by tracking global shipping, frozen place. by tracking globalshipping, researchers discovered that antarctica is visited by vessels that come from 1500 ports all over the world, for research, tourism, and fishing. those ships, scientists say, bring potentially destructive species into this unique ecosystem. ships that visit antarctica don't just ships that visit antarctica don'tjust have one homeport that they visit and go back and forth. these ships travel all around the world. so that was really surprising. and in terms of invasive species, that means that... almost anywhere in the world could be a potential source for new species visiting antarctica. source for new species visiting antarctica-— antarctica. antarctica's wildlife _ antarctica. antarctica's wildlife has _ antarctica. antarctica's wildlife has been i antarctica. antarctica's i wildlife has been isolated for millions of years. but marine species like muscles, barnacles and crabs clinging to ships'

don't go anywhere, i will be back with all the top business stories injust back with all the top business stories in just a back with all the top business stories injust a moment. i will see you then. hello. after a fairly grey, drizzly sort of day on monday, more places will see the sunshine on tuesday. clearer air is working its way south across the uk behind this cold front here, which is only slowly pushing southwards. so we've still got quite a lot of cloud around. the cloud and drizzle will slowly clear southwards through the day, so a reappearance of sunshine from the north, but some of us will hold onto the cloudy drizzly conditions all day in the far south. so we start off with quite a contrast in temperature, mild towards the south, but temperatures a few degrees either side of freezing first thing for scotland, northern ireland and the far north of england as well. this is how tuesday is looking then — you can see the clearer skies for much of the uk as this band of cloud and drizzly patchy rain sink south. a bit of mist and murk particularly around coasts and hills for southern england and south wales too,

lasting all day. but mild here, 10—11 celsius, in the clearer, sunny skies, between about 6—9 celsius, a few showers just rattling in across the north and west of scotland. through tuesday evening and overnight now into wednesday, eventually, we will lose that cold front, that band of cloud and drizzle from the south. so clearer skies for all as we move on into wednesday morning. breezy in the north and milderair here, double figures overnight. but further south, we are likely to see a frost to start your wednesday morning. so moving through wednesday, then, once we have lost that cold front, we've got high pressure building really across the uk, so that's going to bring a lot of dry and settled weather. but a change in temperature because this milder air is coming in from the south—west around the top side of that high pressure, so moving into northern parts of the uk. further south, we're sitting under the colder air. so, really, from mid—week onwards, we've got a bit of a split. it's mild and breezy in the north, whereas further south, colder with some fog patches that could linger

for quite a time. that's how wednesday looks, then we've got the cloudier, breezier conditions across parts of scotland in particular. fog patches further south, it will slowly clear away, and then a lot of dry and sunny weather. we've always got that bit more cloud and a few showers in the far north—west. here, 11 degrees for stornoway, and about 7 degrees or so for london. and a few places could struggle where we keep that fog. through the day on thursday, some of that fog could be quite extensive and slow to clear across parts of england and wales too. breezy and cloudy in the far north—west, plenty of sunshine elsewhere, but we could see those lingering fog patches all day for a few areas. bye— bye.
