6:04 am
djokovic's presence in australia would stir up anti— vaccination sentiment in a country that's experiencing tens of thousands of new covid—i9 cases each day. novak djokovic's lawyers say that sort of argument is illogical and irrational. they say that the government hasn't asked novak djokovic his views and that he is not an anti—vaxxer. so throughout is legal minefield, these judges are now treading very carefully to come up now treading very carefully to come up with a decision that will be absolutely momentous. momentous for the australian government if it loses, it will be humiliated stop if novak djokovic loses, he will be on a plane out of australia and will miss out, for now, on the chance to make grand slam history. he would he would have one... have won 21 titles

6:15 am
moment is that initial tsunami warning which was issued from midday on friday was then called off around midday on saturday. we are not therefore at this moment sure what state the tsunami watch or warning was at the time of the eruption. local time was around 5:30pm on saturday. local time was around 5:30pm on saturda . . ., local time was around 5:30pm on saturda. ,, ., ., ~ local time was around 5:30pm on saturda. ,, ., ., ,, . saturday. susana, thank you so much, susana leiataua _ saturday. susana, thank you so much, susana leiataua from _ saturday. susana, thank you so much, susana leiataua from radio _ saturday. susana, thank you so much, susana leiataua from radio new - susana leiataua from radio new zealand pacific. keeping us up—to—date on that incredible, those pictures are just exploding in the ocean, and if you look at it, there was an incredible on the front page of one of the papers and we will get to the paper review in a minute, so i am sure we will see it, you can see the size of it.— see the size of it. taken by a japanese _ see the size of it. taken by a japanese weather _ see the size of it. taken by a japanese weather satellite, i see the size of it. taken by a i japanese weather satellite, the see the size of it. taken by a - japanese weather satellite, the size of australia. here's tomasz with a look at this morning's weather. what are the birds in the sky telling us about the weather today?
6:16 am
welcome in the studio, i can't even see them up behind me, i can't see anything. but what our superduper computers and our satellite are telling me is that it is going to be a pretty decent day today, frost free, right now. certainly nowhere nearas free, right now. certainly nowhere near as cold as it was yesterday morning, a bit of dampness around because we have had some showers, and you can see the clouds gathering across scotland, northern ireland, northern england as well. a couple of showers in the south. this weather fund will bring a spell of cloudy weather, and also the milder conditions, you can see that they are running around this area of high pressure, the slightly milder area, temperatures are not as low this morning. not as windy in scotland, gale force areas in northern ireland, but we are hardy, sojust gale force areas in northern ireland, but we are hardy, so just a breeze. we waterfront will move towards the south of the country this afternoon, i think in places like norwich, london, the afternoon here might be a bit more cloudy, but
6:17 am
further north it is the opposite. lots of sunshine for liverpool, york, newcastle and belfast today. tonight, the winds for light again, so that means that this coming night there will be a frost across england, wales and northern ireland. still windy in the north of scotland, so with that ocean wind, temperatures will not fall too low. here is monday. they were defined crossing the country today out of the way, in central and eastern europe. the high pressure builds backin europe. the high pressure builds back in after this weather fund, and that means that the week ahead is going to be sunny with high pressure, but we've got frost and fog on the cards again. so i think tomorrow, these areas here, around western parts of england and wales, they will be quite foggy through the morning, possibly into that could you try again? oh, dear. i have done this before, i thought i switched it off. it is my watch going off again, anyway, ignore that. this tuesday,

this is the true story of a dog who lived almost a century ago. his monument stands in scotland plasma capital city of edinburgh to this day. in memory to his devotion to an old man who he loves in life and guarded for 14 years after death had parted them. so begins what this new�*s telling of the tale released 61 years ago, not for the first or last time, hollywood has produced its own version of the truth, to heart melting effect. bobby belongs to a man called john grey, who was buried in greyfriars churchyard in edinburgh in 1858. the story goes that the sky terrier sat every day ijy that the sky terrier sat every day by his master's rate. it became so famous and loved, but when he died in 1872, and english baroness paid for a statue to be elected in his memory. it for a statue to be elected in his memo . . , ., ., ., memory. it has gone into the world of le . end memory. it has gone into the world of legend but _ memory. it has gone into the world of legend but the _ memory. it has gone into the world of legend but the real _ memory. it has gone into the world of legend but the real story - memory. it has gone into the world of legend but the real story for - of legend but the real story for greyfriars bobby is the fact that that loyalty from the dog, and that

6:26 am
isn't it? you've been talking about it this morning, it hasjust isn't it? you've been talking about it this morning, it has just the news agenda. we are in this bizarre position now where the order of play itself for this first grand slam of the season was delayed because of this decision, we are in a position now where he is supposed to be playing tomorrow and we don't know whether he's going to be deported or not. it is bizarre. let's get a bit more on this now from our tennis correspondence, russell fuller, who joins us this morning. good morning. here we are again, i don't think either of us thought we would still be talking about this at this point. they do have plan a and plan b. what happens if the world number one is sent back home at this stage? that number one is sent back home at this staue? �* , , ., number one is sent back home at this staue? . , , ., ._ number one is sent back home at this staae?�* ,,. , , stage? at this stage, holy, because the order of— stage? at this stage, holy, because the order of play — stage? at this stage, holy, because the order of play has _ stage? at this stage, holy, because the order of play has been - stage? at this stage, holy, because| the order of play has been released, if djokovic was forced to withdraw because he loses his challenge, and it is possible we will get a verdict from the three justices within the next couple of hours, then he will be replaced in the drawer by a lucky loser. people are not familiar with that concept, lots of players away
6:27 am
from the public spotlight worked very hard in the week before a grand slam try to get through three rounds of qualifying to make it into the main draw, and those who follow the final hurdle have a chance to be one of the lucky losers. your ranking helps you but there is an element of names being drawn out of the hut as well, and they are their imposition in case a player pulls out of the championships with injury, which is actually quite common. now, not normally because a player withdraws because they are being deported, but we don't know who that lucky loser would be. but they may well have a different opponent and the match will not be played on rod laver arena, i can tell you that. because djokovic gets miniature, prime time around about 9:30pm or 10am in the uk on monday morning, but will be relegated to a much smaller court if djokovic is not involved.— djokovic is not involved. obviously or: anisers djokovic is not involved. obviously organisers have _ djokovic is not involved. obviously organisers have had _ djokovic is not involved. obviously organisers have had to _ djokovic is not involved. obviously organisers have had to think i djokovic is not involved. obviously organisers have had to think hard l organisers have had to think hard about how they deal with this, they have obviously purposely put him on the late match tomorrow evening. hopefully to give him as much time
6:28 am
for recovery, both mentally and physically, if he were to play? well, there have been arguments to say that they could have let him start on tuesday because the first round displayed over two days, but they felt in the end that out of fairness to a lot of players who were involved in matches in the finals on saturday, a lot of those were in the other half of the drawer, including andy murray, he lost the other half, so they thought it would be fair to give a greater number of those players more of a chance to travel from sydney and adelaide and play the first round of the australian open on tuesday, which is why djokovic is on the schedule for monday. justices have said they do hope to give us a verdict early time in australia. the reasons for that verdict will not be published, but of course if they can't come to a decision tonight, djokovic might spend a second night in an asylum hotel, a detention hotel, find out his fate my morning, and potentially, if he wins, and the odds are against him, have to say, according to legal observers, he
6:29 am
would havejust according to legal observers, he would have just a few hours to get to melbourne park, out of practice and walk out and play his first round match. t and walk out and play his first round match.— and walk out and play his first round match. ., , ., ., round match. i mean, you mentioned andy murray. — round match. i mean, you mentioned andy murray. he _ round match. i mean, you mentioned andy murray, he has _ round match. i mean, you mentioned andy murray, he has another- round match. i mean, you mentioned andy murray, he has another player | andy murray, he has another player who has voiced his frustration at how this has played out, and hejust wants to talk about tennis. it will be interesting to see how other players respond now and how frustrated they are, and how they convey that? t frustrated they are, and how they convey that?— frustrated they are, and how they convey that? i think they really do want to show _ convey that? i think they really do want to show to _ convey that? i think they really do want to show to move _ convey that? i think they really do want to show to move on, - convey that? i think they really do want to show to move on, and i convey that? i think they really do want to show to move on, and for| want to show to move on, and for more attention to be given to their talent, their matches, speaking to dan evans and cameron norrie, two top—ranked british payers earlier, value, dan evans is of the view that he should have taken the vaccine, and then he would have been able to get into the country without too many problems. cameron norrie feels that he has misjudged the mood in australia. cameron norrie grew up in new zealand, so as an antipodean, he is perhaps well—qualified to comment. he says he would also quite like him in the draw, because if you are the world number 12, as norrie, if you want to compete against the
6:30 am
very best players, but he felt it has not been handled well, because djokovic didn't realise how unpopular this decision would be. yes, he may have thought he had a medical exemption to avoid having the vaccine, but in reality, australia only once in their country if you are fully vaccinated.- if you are fully vaccinated. russell fuller, thanks _ if you are fully vaccinated. russell fuller, thanks for _ if you are fully vaccinated. russell fuller, thanks for your _ if you are fully vaccinated. russell fuller, thanks for your time i if you are fully vaccinated. russell fuller, thanks for your time in i fuller, thanks for your time in melbourne this morning. i think we are hoping to get a decision within the hour. they set 5:45pm melbourne time, so we will keep a crosscut. and we will obviously let you know as soon as a decision is made. now, roger, you'll be happy to know we're going to talk about the cricket. in the ashes, england's bowlers have impressed today, particualrly mark wood although australia's lead of 256 will be difficult to chase. wood took the first wicket of the day — removing night watchman scott boland for eight — continuing where he left off yesterday, he now has five wickets in the second innings. travis head scored an important century in the first innings so england were delighted to see him off caught by billings forjust
6:31 am
eight — wood with the wicket again. then steve smith went for 27 caught by dawid malan. mitchel starc and cameron green are also out and australia are 141—8 at tea. to the premier league where manchester city are 13 points clear at the top this morning, after victory over their nearest rivals chelsea. there was just one goal in it, coming from kevin de bruyne with a moment of brilliance in the second half. it's city's 12th league win in a row and afterwards manager pep guardiola had plenty of praise for his goalscorer. he won a lot in this club and still remains the same guy i met the first day. he is incredibly humble. always do for the team everything, and you cannot imagine how difficult it is to find this type of incredible top talent player has his humility and
6:32 am
to still do it, player of the year in england, a lot of prizes, and still come. i am very pleased for him because he deserved it. lots of praise too for aston villa, after they fought back from 2—0 down to earn a point against manchester united. new star signing phillipe countinho scoring the equaliser moments after coming off the bench for his first appearance. coutinho making it 2—2 and earning praise from his former liverpool teammate, and now manager steven gerrard. it isa it is a good start. phil is not part of the pool, it is all about —— with liverpool now. he showed great beriberi. he could have been worried about the post of the collision. he is quality, can score goals, create goals and has lifted everyone since his arrival. and there's increasing speculation that everton manager rafa benitez may be on the verge of leaving the club after his side were beaten 2—1 at norwich.
6:33 am
its their ninth defeat in 12 premier league games, and sparked angry scenes from fans. really disappointed because we are working so hard. we came here to fix issues. little by little we are doing things that in my opinion would be good for the future, bringing players, improving players, the reality we have to win on the pitch so we have two games in hand but it doesn't change too much if we don't learn and make less mistakes. returning to tennis then and while the build up to the first grand slam of the year has, of course, been dominated by djokovic — there is plenty of other big stories at the australian open. not least of which, emma raducanu who is looking to follow up her victory at the us open in september. so does being a grand slam winner make everyone up their game? may be, yeah... i think that my opponents have been playing some great tennis when i have played them and that is i was going to happen.
6:34 am
it could be extra motivation and when you see someone like, young and you want to play them and put them in their place a little maybe. it is all part of it and i'm just taking it in my stride and it will happen, i'll get my chances again. in rugby union, wasps picked up another notable scalp as they beat holders toulouse by 30 points to 22 in the european champions cup wasps beat the in form side leicester in the premiership last weekend, and ran in three tries as they enjoyed another convincing victory. leicester bounced back from that wasps defeat with a 29—28 win at connacht. a last minute try from hosea saumaki ensured leicester will make the last 16, with three wins out of three. ospreys' hopes of reaching the next stage were dealt a blow. despite scoring the first try against racing, the french side then ran in three of their own to win 25 —10 exeter ran in eight tries as they thrashed glasgow warriors by 52 points to 17. there was a hat—trick

and next to the american flag, was this big beautiful rainbow flag. and just what is it that makes paris feel so parisian? them music plays. i've returned to my home city of melbourne, after a long time away during the covid crisis. while the city has come through the pandemic well so far, in terms of preserving life, it has still suffered a big upheaval. if you ask the locals,
6:39 am
they will tell you melbourne is the most locked down city in the world. that may or may not be exactly true but it's certain that this city has endured a lot of restrictions, with 262 days of lockdown between march 2020 and october 2021. and one of the things the hardest hit was its internationally renowned food scene. but i'd heard that among the challenges they'd face, industry here was adapting and evolving. melbourne's food scene is really unique. i think it's because we are so isolated down here in the bottom of the planet, we've had to actually do it ourselves but we're also the product of every different nation in the world which has come here over the last couple of hundred years and set up shop here. without the footfall of the city workers during the pandemic, melbourne city centre restaurants in particular suffered. but in the suburbs of melbourne, the opposite was happening. people were able to walk to their local takeaway or restaurants were turned
6:40 am
into enotecas and delis. ok, so we're here, this is the place? one place which as adapted was anchovy, a south east asian restaurant which started selling bahn mi sandwiches from a food truck during the pandemic and was so successful, they have opened a dedicated bahn mi sandwich bar. oh, my goodness. so who's having the sardines? they're all for me. what are you having? laughter we will share. it looks incredible. that's good, i'm so glad, thank you. there has been a lot of creativity and a lot of community, a lot of banding together in a way that ijust don't think we have ever seen before. people sort of went back to basics but then just elevated those basics. so if you look at this sausage, for example, that's notjust something that's been bought or made by a butchers,
6:41 am
they made this in—house, they aged their meats, they used all the herbs and spices, so you're essentially getting a restaurant dish between bread so there's still the character, there's still the heritage in something like a sandwich or a bahn mi but you get a really holistic experience of a chef's skill. this is lygon street, it's also known as melbourne's little italy. it's known for restaurants like this that are busy 24/7 and on the face of it, it looks like it has really bounced back after the pandemic. there's people everywhere, eating, drinking, enjoying themselves. if you look a little bit closer, you see things like this, where half of this restaurant is now closed because there still aren't enough customers and not enough staff. but melbourne has also seen a huge amount of creativity from those in its restaurant scene, adapting to the problems they faced. people like shane delia, who is a much—loved chef in melbourne, he has a restaurant called maha and several other venues, he saw a massive opportunity in lockdown
6:42 am
because the fine dining restaurants were finding it really hard to pivot into takeaway. i remember sitting with my wife on the couch thinking, we're done. we're going to have to hand back the keys to the house and i don't even know how we're going to survive. we employ 110 staff. they've all got partners, they've all got kids, they've got friends, so the extended network is huge and the impact on them was something that was really a heavyweight for me to carry. so he saw that there was a real opportunity there to par—cook everything, have it ready to be finished at home and delivered in refrigerated boxes, and he'd shifted everything. it went from a small order each day to hundreds of orders each day, to thousands of orders a week and then i realised this is probably a more significant business that would help others within the industry. shane started the finish and home meals for his own restaurants at first, before expending to a platform offering the service from high—end restaurants all around the city and beyond.
6:43 am
this is the providoor box. what do we have here? i see a lamb shoulder. yeah, so this is — so inside you get the lamb shoulder that's already pre—roasted, then you can just take it in this tray and put it into the oven. it'll come upjust like in the restaurant. i mean, this looks pretty good. laughs. i'm not sure everything is going to make it into the box because i'm going to have to take some home. so this has been incredibly successful. you must�*ve saved a lot of restaurants with this, right? you're a hero! no, i mean — look, we've helped a lot of restaurants. i think that the pandemic for restaurants in victoria and sydney would've been very different without the support of providoor but it's me — —— of providoor but it's not me — i mean, we've got a team of people. i was lucky enough to have the idea but then i've got a great community of people around us that have brought it all together. but for many foreign nationals in the industry we've remained, the situation has been especially challenging, like melbourne chef sarai castillo who was originally from mexico
6:44 am
and was not eligible for government support. that was a massive issue during lockdown because the government chose not to give them support payments so you'd think that would be a really awful story and it was because there were a whole heap of people here that had lived here for years, were working full—time for businesses and very talented people in the industry, but what that did was flip it and they were like, ok, we have these skills, we'lljust start our own businesses. they've popped up like mushrooms all over melbourne. with established restaurant, movida, she started a delivery menu which then grew into a food venue of its own. so, yeah, we were not getting any support. it was like, if we have no money, if you have no savings, you're like, do whatever you can. for me it was good because it was like a good opportunity like, to show my food, to show my recipes. like, yeah, to show my cooking and it was great and i never expected it.
6:45 am
i was like, what is going to happen now and, yeah, so it was like bittersweet but it was good at the end. so it seems like the phrase, when life gives you lemons you... make make lemonade... you made lemonade! and guacamole. and guacamole! that is phenomenal to see the effort that's going into keeping these places running. if you are heading to melbourne anytime in the future, here are some of the things we think you should see and do. the maze of backstreets and alleyways around the central business districts are called the laneways and they are a great place to get lost. they are famous for their street art and buzzy cafes and now is a good time to see them. the city's inside out recovery programme brings eating and entertainment out into the streets, allowing business to recover as safely as it can. melbourne's wednesday summer night market is back after two years of closures.
6:46 am
there's shopping, food trucks and light entertainment, and check out the spirit zone to see what lockdown has done to your aura. it's free entry but, as with most places in melbourne, you need to show proof of double vaccination to get in. the three—week midsumma festival bills itself as an explosion of queer events that runs every january and february. it all kicks off with the carnival in alexandra gardens, on 23rd of january. there are 200 different events in 100 venues across the state of victoria and loads happening online too. and it has become a summer staple in melbourne, the annual sidney myer concert series returns to the music bowl. for more than 90 years, people have been enjoying

6:48 am
forest but it is a faith that occupies the lgbt community. we went there to find out why. fire island national seashore is a national park. it's a barrier of 17 towns, 50 miles away from new york city. many of them are known for their long—standing lgbt communities. the sunken forest is a globally rare ecosystem. it's a very uncommon habitat. it's the fact that those holly trees are growing as close to the ocean and in such high density as they do right here that makes this place unique. the forest sits behind two dunes, making it appear to be below sea level. they protect the trees from ocean salt spray and allow them to grow as tall as the dunes. the sunken forest would not exist if it weren't for this delicate balance. too much salt spray could kill the forest. not enough, and the forest wouldn't have the minerals and nutrients that the ocean provides that feeds the trees.
6:49 am
i grew up in mastic beach, which is sort of a lower income community on the south shore of long island. fortunately, mastic beach also happens to be one of the only places that you can walk onto fire island. it was a space i returned to every single summer. it's shifting landscape as a barrier island. every single day i come out here, it's a little bit different and i think that's all really inspiring because sometimes, we think of nature as this immutable, sort of unchangeable thing, but nature is really dynamic. i sort of came to my identity as a queer person later in life — towards the end of college. i sort of had to admit to myself that i was trans in some way. i identify now as trans feminine and non—binary. my pronouns are they/them. so at kind of a young age, ifound myself inspired just walking through this community. i did not really know why i was so jazzed up. i knew about the lgbt history.
6:50 am
before homosexuality was decriminalised, living an openly gay life was difficult in some states. isolated towns like cherry grove became safe havens for america's marginalised lgbt immunities. i was pretty young the first time i visited the sunken forest. i was a volunteer. i was maybe 13, 14 at the time. and i think pulling in on that ferry, i saw these two flags. one was an american and next to the american flag was this big, beautiful rainbow flag, and i think it was the first time that i encountered a queer environment, queer space, queer community. eventually, i started leading programmes and actually, when i was 16, i started working as a park ranger. i've worked at fire island national seashore now for over ten years. there was this really significant grassroots effort that dates back all the way to the 1930s to actually create a national park, a national seashore, here at fire island. part of that was actually just
6:51 am
an attempt to prevent robert moses and new york state from constructing a highway across the length of fire island. robert moses was a polarising urban planner in new york city. he was instrumental in the rapid construction of highways after the great depression. because the island is so narrow, a road across it would have completely reshaped the landscape. it would've threatened unique habitats like the sunken forest. in order to protect these towns, each one with their own really unique history and culture, they turned fire island into a national park so that future generations could come here and enjoy it for themselves. fire island national seashore became a national park in 1964. the biggest pleasures of working out here is just having this intimate knowledge of the space that i can then share with other people. i think that nature is something that i want to commune with often, especially when i'm feeling somewhat disconnected from the world. it's really nice to be
6:52 am
able to get outside, to see all of these amazing plants, all of these amazing animals. it helps me to feel more connected to what's around me. french accordion music plays. now, paris is a city that's rightly proud of its traditional image but battlelines are being drawn over what truly makes it look and feel so uniquely parisian. upfor grabs, unesco world heritage status. so, will it be the crusty baguette or those distinctive blue—grey zinc rooftops that will triumph? we set emeline nsingi nkosi to see two rivals slug it out for the honours. bells toll. you can't walk more than a street in paris without seeing someone with a baguette under their arm. i'm told the french get through 10
6:53 am
billion of them every year. jaunty music plays. it's no wonder, then, that the quality of the humble breadstick is taken so seriously, there is even an annual competition to be named the best baguette in paris. that one there. that looks good. and this place has won the award twice. law states a traditional baguette has to be made by hand with only four ingredients — water, salt, flour and yeast, and salt in the same place it's made. it is hoped the unesco status would protect this traditional method.
6:55 am
of the city's unique skyline is down in big part to the sea of blue—grey zinc roofs they maintain. this has got to be one of the best views in europe, and there's a couple of reasons for that. the first is that you can only build to a certain height, and the second one is that most of the rooftops are covered in the same blue and grey zinc. but paris hasn't always looks like this. in the late 19th century, emperor napoleon iii enlisted georges—eugene haussmann to completely redesign the city in one of the most ambitious plans of renovation in any city anywhere. inspired by london, a lighter, clean and safer paris soon emerged. the zinc rooftops became a symbol of the city's regeneration, covering around 75% of the roofs in paris. that's a lot of roofs!
6:56 am
with not a lot of roofers to maintain them. now, several years since we tried to win this candidature, because it is very important to save the roofs of paris because each 50 or 60 years, you have to change the zinc. now, unfortunately, we have a terrible lack of well—trained roofers. why do you think there aren't enough young people who want to become roofers? young people think when you are on the roof, you have the rain, it's very cold or it's very hot. but in the same time, all the young roofers that i've met during my different reporting is on the roofs of paris all told me "what i feel here is the freedom".
6:57 am
the roofs aren'tjust an architectural treasure but an artistic one, too. hi! nice to meet you. during lockdown, raphael started taking candid photos from the roof of his building. his account quickly went viral. what a view! it's fantastic that you kind of, from this lockdown, you've been able tojust build this huge instagram following of the rooftops. did you expect that to happen? what was that like?
6:58 am
not at all. i think it is like a different kind of pictures because everyone has seen, like, the eiffel tower taken from the ground. and this time, it's like paris from above, which is unusual. and especially during the lockdown, everyone wanted to escape, you know? people started to take pictures from their windows, sometimes they managed to go on the roof of their buildings, so there really was a need to take, like, some fresh air and be free from your apartment. so that's why i think these pictures, they spoke to a lot of people. you want me to go straight in? you're not even going to show me? 0k. let's do it. let's do it! 0k. so, you don't want the eiffel tower alone because that can be a bit boring. boring. here. might be good if i know where the shutter is! both laugh. it's fine! 0k. are you taking the clouds in the pictures? is that bad? i was thinking the sky is so blue! it is! you do you. you are the artist! 0k. so it's basically called skyline,
6:59 am
i.e., just the sky. i would buy this. you would buy this? i mean, have you seen this? it's not straight at all! in the end, the ministry of culture decided the bakers should be nominated for intangible heritage status. unesco will make a final decision by the end of this year. the roofers say they'll continue their fight for recognition. well, that's it for this week, but coming up next time... a vision of the future from 19705 tokyo. carmen climbs the nakagin tower to find out why capsule living was the japanese craze that never quite took off. look at this tiny bathroom! i'm not going to even attempt to go inside. wow! it still works? yes. there's hot water?
7:00 am
no hot water. ooh, tough! don't forget, you can catch up with more of our recent adventures on bbc iplayer. we're on social media, too — just search for bbc travel show on facebook and instagram. until next time, from me and all of the travel show team here in melbourne, it's goodbye. good morning welcome to breakfast with rogerjohnson and katherine downes. our headlines today:

7:02 am
in the last few minutes the world tennis number one, novak djokovic, has lost his fight against deportation. a panel ofjudges has upheld a decision by the australian government to cancel the player's visa because he's unvaccinated against covid—19 — and poses a threat to public health. our correspondent shaimaa khalil is in melbourne. shaimaa, what more can you tell us? what was the basis of this judgement? in what was the basis of this judgement?— what was the basis of this judgement? what was the basis of this 'uduement? . , , ., judgement? in the last few minutes a unanimous decision _ judgement? in the last few minutes a unanimous decision by _ judgement? in the last few minutes a unanimous decision by a _ judgement? in the last few minutes a unanimous decision by a full - judgement? in the last few minutes a unanimous decision by a full bench i unanimous decision by a full bench of threejudges unanimous decision by a full bench of three judges dismissing novak djokovic's last ditch to challenge the cancellation of his visa for a second time. we have yet to get the reasons, we have yet to get details about what exactly, but we know the three judges about what exactly, but we know the threejudges have about what exactly, but we know the three judges have decided the same thing and now the world number one who was scheduled to play in the australian open on monday is to be deported. again, we don't know when
7:03 am
he is going to leave and we know there are flights out of australia tonight stop whether this is going tonight stop whether this is going to be the way that he is going to 90, to be the way that he is going to go, that is still unclear that one thing is clear once again, novak djokovic faces deportation, once again it has gone to court but is now the court decided that his visa would be cancelled, upholding the government's decision and he is to leave the country without taking part in the australian open. mas part in the australian open. was d'okovic part in the australian open. was djokovic in _ part in the australian open. was djokovic in court _ part in the australian open. was djokovic in court to _ part in the australian open. was djokovic in court to hear that delivered and if so what was his reaction? it delivered and if so what was his reaction? , , ., ., ., reaction? it is very hard to hear ou reaction? it is very hard to hear you because — reaction? it is very hard to hear you because it— reaction? it is very hard to hear you because it is _ reaction? it is very hard to hear you because it is getting - reaction? it is very hard to hear you because it is getting reallyl you because it is getting really noisy here. if you are asking about a reaction, behind me i can tell you there is a great deal of disappointment, a great deal of angen disappointment, a great deal of anger. there is already disappointment and anger with people waiting for that decision. i have spoken to a number of supporters here who have said this is unfair and he should be be able to play
7:04 am
tennis and we should be supporting him on a tennis court, not the legal court. apologies. tensions are high and emotions are high among supporters, as you can imagine, but essentially, the government's argument was that novak djokovic, with his status, with his significance, being unvaccinated, has encouraged or would encourage anti— vaccination sentiment in australia and this is a public risk. this is what the government has based their argument on, this is what his lawyers have been challenging, but now we know that read judges in the federal court have followed and have agreed with the government's stance. —— three judges. in the government's stance. -- three 'udues. ~ , ., ., judges. in line with australian immigration _ judges. in line with australian immigration policy, _ judges. in line with australian immigration policy, does i judges. in line with australian immigration policy, does this| judges. in line with australian i immigration policy, does this now mean that novak djokovic will not be able to enter australia for three years? able to enter australia for three ears? ~ ., �* , able to enter australia for three ears? _ years? well, that's the policy. if the visa is _ years? well, that's the policy. if the visa is cancelled _ years? well, that's the policy. if the visa is cancelled he - years? well, that's the policy. if the visa is cancelled he was i years? well, that's the policy. if. the visa is cancelled he was always
7:05 am
going to be facing deportation and a possible three—year visa band. whether his legal team comes up with another argument or appeals to the government and says fine, this decision has been upheld, he will leave the country, but can he come back, and what will be the conditions for him? remember the whole controversy around this was about him being unvaccinated. the whole controversy around it was him having the exemption and the government saying this event is make the exemption is not valid. he now faces a possible three—year band. for him to come back they will have to be a discussion about conditions of him coming back and his stance on the vaccination. shaimaa khalil with the breaking news that novak djokovic has lost his appeal and now faces deportation from australia. our balkans correspondent guy de launey is in belgrade. guy, how will this news
7:06 am
be received in serbia? there has been considerable support for novak djokovic in his homeland. it won't go down well. i can give you some hot instant reaction from the serbian press. the court decided the serbian press. the court decided the deportation. the biggest shame in the history of sport, capital letters, has happened. shame on australia. that is a view from the courier. and the other paper keeps it simple, shame and shame. a lot of shame going on and it hasn't been altered in serbia, not being felt in serbia, directed against australia. people very, very unhappy in the serbian media about what has happened. i have to say, people will have been bracing themselves for this but of course they are hoping against hope that novak djokovic's lawyers would be able to persuade the court in melbourne that they had good reasons for throwing out minister alex hawke's intervention. the judges
7:07 am
minister alex hawke's intervention. thejudges have minister alex hawke's intervention. the judges have said minister alex hawke's intervention. thejudges have said it is not about the woods —— wisdom about what alex hawke decided but whether he did —— what he did was legal, whether he had the powers to remove novak djokovic and it seems they have come down very much on that side of things. down very much on that side of thins. ., ~' ,, down very much on that side of thins. . ,, i. , , , down very much on that side of thins. ., ~' , , , ., , things. thank you, guy de launey in belarade. things. thank you, guy de launey in belgrade- we _ things. thank you, guy de launey in belgrade. we will _ things. thank you, guy de launey in belgrade. we will continue - things. thank you, guy de launey in belgrade. we will continue to i things. thank you, guy de launey in belgrade. we will continue to get i belgrade. we will continue to get reactions in the remaining bluebells of activist. the news coming out of melbourne —— the remaining hours of breakfast. pressure is mounting on the prime minister as the row over parties held in downing street during lockdown continues this morning. former minister, tim loughton, has become the sixth conservative mp to publically call on borisjohnson to resign. our political correspondent, iain watson, has this report. borisjohnson is under�* more pressure this weekend over the reports of parties and gatherings in downing street during lockdown. mps have been hearing the views from their voters and it doesn't sound good for the prime minister. this is former government minister tim loughton. he's the sixth conservative mp
7:08 am
to call for borisjohnson to go. he said his constituents were troubled, angered or appalled. and writing on his facebook page he says that "terminal damage has tragically been done to the reputation of the prime minister", and, "borisjohnson's position is now untenable". but it takes 54 conservative mps to call for a leadership contest and downing street still believes borisjohnson can fight back. so far no cabinet minister has broken ranks and the mood of borisjohnson's mps could improve if, as expected, covid regulations are lifted in england later this month. but it's the views of voters that will also influence mps. the conservatives snatched morley and outwood in yorkshire from labour in 2015. are the people here now in the market for a new prime minister? it is a bit disgusting, really, when we had to go through everything what we had to do and i had my brother's funeral where we were only allowed my immediate family.
7:09 am
they're stood there telling us to do one thing and doing another, ijust think it is disgraceful. i'm 50—50 as to whether i think he should go or not. _ i think the main thing is they need a new leader. bye—bye, boris. some senior conservative mps are now saying it's a reaction on the doorstep that will determine whether boris johnson is shown the door. our political correspondent nick eardleyjoins us now. nick, can the prime minister survive this? well, look, i mean, that is the big question. we have six tory mps now putting their heads up and saying look, we think the prime minister needs to resign over all of this. there is a lot more concerned in the background. there are mps who are in the constituencies this weekend and they are worried about the reaction they are worried about the reaction they are worried about the reaction they are getting on the doorstep from angry voters. the question now is whether borisjohnson can do
7:10 am
something to sway some of that concern after the report comes out into what went on from the senior civil servant who was looking into all of this, whether that changes things. a lot of tory mps are hoping they will be a big clear out in downing street after senior staff, maybe a shakeup of the people iris johnson is listening to. a lot of speculation in the newspapers this morning that that will happen as well as some big announcements to try and win over some tory mps who might be on the fence on the prime minister's future stop i think it is really hard to tell the answer to your question this morning about whether he survives. it seems to be “p whether he survives. it seems to be up in the air. it is all down to what mps say when they come back to parliament next week and what that report into what went on in downing street comes up with. it report into what went on in downing street comes up with.— street comes up with. it will be a fascinating _ street comes up with. it will be a fascinating read. _ the eruption of a giant underwater volcano in the pacific ocean
7:11 am
near the island of tonga has triggered tsunami warnings across the region. the us and japan have advised people on their pacific coastlines to get away from the shore — while australia's east coast has also been put on alert. no deaths have been reported. russell trott reports. the tsunami left a trail of destruction across tonga's archipelago. many parts are completely covered in ash. with communications down, neighbouring countries are frantically trying to make contact. we need to finely balance the need to get there quickly but to make sure we also get the people and resources they need there as well and in some cases we have parts of tonga we're just not even being able to establish communication. the underwater volcanic eruption that triggered the tsunami, as seen from space, lasted less than ten minutes but caused waves of more than a metre high to crash into tonga and fiji. plumes of gas and smoke are still pouring from the volcano,
7:12 am
reaching 20 kilometres into the sky. alerts are in place from the west coast of the united states to japan where people were warned to stay away from the coast if possible. usually when we get the tsunamis on the west coast it's due to earthquakes, so this is an exceptionally rare event where a volcano that was mostly underwater exploded and caused a tsunami across the pacific. the south pacific eruption sent a shockwave around the world with air pressure changes recorded as far afield as canada and even scotland. the concerns now are for the tongans who may not have scrambled to safety in time, and the fear that further eruptions can't be ruled out. russell trott, bbc news. the duke of sussex has launched a legal challenge for the right to pay for police protection when he's in the uk. prince harry lost his security when he stepped back from royal duties in 2020. he says his private protection team in the us doesn't have adequate
7:13 am
jurisdiction abroad or access to uk intelligence information needed to keep his family safe. from tomorrow, 16 and 17—year—olds in england will be able to book their covid boosterjab, or attend a walk—in vaccination centre. the latest stage of the rollout will only apply to teenagers who received their second dose at least three months ago — with around 40,000 expected to be eligible initially. previously, the booster was only recommended for people in that age group who were deemed clinically vulnerable. as we've been hearing, six conservative mps have now publically called on borisjohnson to resign following multiple reports of parties held at downing street during lockdown. the gatherings are currently being investigated by senior civil servant sue grey, with her report expected soon. here's what she'll likely be looking into. the most recent events were two
7:14 am
parties which took place on the same night in april last year, on the eve of prince philip's funeral. before that, there were reports of numerous parties in december 2020 both in downing street and government departments. events held during lockdown in november 2020 are also expected to be investigated, while two gatherings in may 2020 — including the now infamous "bring your own booze" event on the 20th — will also be considered. some conservatives have had enough. joining us now is councillor alastair little from lichfield district council. good morning counsellor little and thank you for getting up on a sunday morning. you have resigned from the conservative party. why do you feel so strongly about it? t conservative party. why do you feel so strongly about it?— so strongly about it? i really resiuned so strongly about it? i really resigned out _ so strongly about it? i really resigned out of— so strongly about it? i really resigned out of outrage i so strongly about it? i really| resigned out of outrage from so strongly about it? i really i resigned out of outrage from my local member of parliament. he has been the lead backbench mp falling
7:15 am
over borisjohnson in support of the indefensible. i wanted to give the residents of litchfield the voice of the other side of the argument, of which i have a lot of support on the ground for and which i have a lot of support on the ground forand i which i have a lot of support on the ground for and i couldn't do that from within the conservative party so i was forced to resign from the party in order to give the residents who i represent on litchfield district council, who happened to be the same residences tackle fabricant represents in parliament —— michael fabricant. which is to support boris johnson. ~ . ., fabricant. which is to support boris johnson. ~ . . fabricant. which is to support boris johnson. a . johnson. michael, as i understand, has not in inundated _ johnson. michael, as i understand, has not in inundated with - johnson. michael, as i understand, has not in inundated with people i johnson. michael, as i understand, i has not in inundated with people who are angry about what happened and that presumably as part of the reason he feels he is able to support the prime minister? emailing a member of parliament to ask for the resignation of the prime minister might seem a bit fruitless, and i do recommend that people have their voice to michael fabricant, but i have to say that from the media locally, and from going around
7:16 am
my smaller area than the whole of litchfield that michael represents, i have not had anyone say anything other than that borisjohnson should be resigning. there is a very big groundswell, certainly from what michael has been saying about parties in number ten being absolutely fine and the fact that people who were going to funerals and weddings were at super sporadic events, this is a very emotional time we have all been through for the past two years. i myself had a very tragic loss, and my tragedy is no worse or better than anybody else's. the whole country has suffered here. what i have been partying in westminster, we have stuck to the rules, they have obviously not.— stuck to the rules, they have obviousl not. ~ , obviously not. the prime minister has said he _ obviously not. the prime minister has said he will— obviously not. the prime minister has said he will come _ obviously not. the prime minister has said he will come back - obviously not. the prime minister has said he will come back to i has said he will come back to parliament when sue grey has completed her report, and will face scrutiny then. are you not willing to do as he has suggested and allow him that time, for the fax to come
7:17 am
out in the report, and then to make a judgement after that?— a judgement after that? well, a- -l in: a judgement after that? well, applying judgement _ a judgement after that? well, applying judgement is - a judgement after that? ett applying judgement is absolutely what you need in politics, and getting the fact is absolutely right, but that is merely formalising into black and white, putting into a document what he already knows, and he has been unwilling to tell the public what happened. it has had to be drip fed to the public by the media. but isn't leadership. that is running and being scared and hiding behind a requiring. wouldn't it be better for him tojust requiring. wouldn't it be better for him to just put his hands requiring. wouldn't it be better for him tojust put his hands up and say, this is what happened, this is my apology, and this is what i'm going to do. but would show leadership, but he is cowering behind this enquiry and i look forward to the civil service enquiry, it isn't an independent enquiry, it isn't an independent enquiry, but i think it would be far better borisjohnson to come forward and lead our country rather than hiding behind what is basically a bureaucratic practice. but hiding behind what is basically a bureaucratic practice.— bureaucratic practice. but if the re ort bureaucratic practice. but if the report comes — bureaucratic practice. but if the report comes out _ bureaucratic practice. but if the report comes out and _ bureaucratic practice. but if the report comes out and finds i bureaucratic practice. but if the j report comes out and finds that bureaucratic practice. but if the i report comes out and finds that no rules were broken, albeit people might feel that there is the letter
7:18 am
of the law and the spirit of the comedy letter of the rules and the spirit of the rules, offer guidance, however it is, if nothing has been contravened in black and white, then there is nothing wrong? that is what they would say. you there is nothing wrong? that is what they would say-— they would say. you can look at this from the report _ they would say. you can look at this from the report being _ they would say. you can look at this from the report being the _ they would say. you can look at this from the report being the be - they would say. you can look at this from the report being the be all i they would say. you can look at this from the report being the be all and end all of the matter, and i don't think it is, moral authority within the office of prime minister is far more important than having public support, i think this is a behavioural issue, not a policy issue. as i have mentioned before to lots of people outside in the street and without interviews i have done, they all stood in the last general election, which i campaigned in myself, for michael fabricant, by the way. they all stood on the same manifesto, the same policies, and these can continue. the party can continue. but borisjohnson does not have to be the leader of it, and by default, the prime minister. the conservatives can carry on doing what i do think is a very good job, nationally, but they need the moral
7:19 am
authority to carry that forward and that can't be done with or without the report saying there were breaches, without the moral authority of the prime minister. i do think erin —— he needs to resign, to give confidence to our government and show that he is going to be leading this country, or the prime minister can leave this country, with the people, who over the last two years have been locked away and had financial, mental health problems, emotional problems, stuck to the rules, which he has been on telly telling us to do, but while partying behind the scenes. the moral authority is gone, the conservative party has not. although the prime minister _ conservative party has not. although the prime minister has _ conservative party has not. although the prime minister has admitted i conservative party has not. although the prime minister has admitted he i the prime minister has admitted he attended that one party, there is no suggestion, for example, that he was at the two on the eve of prince philip's funeral. we know that he was at chequers. he is not responsible for other people's behaviour, is he? he responsible for other people's behaviour, is he?— responsible for other people's behaviour, is he? he is responsible for what goes _ behaviour, is he? he is responsible for what goes on _ behaviour, is he? he is responsible for what goes on at _ behaviour, is he? he is responsible for what goes on at number - behaviour, is he? he is responsible for what goes on at number ten. . behaviour, is he? he is responsible - for what goes on at number ten. when he was at the party or not, it would
7:20 am
be even worse if he was not aware what was going on in his own house. so in this respect, i'm not saying he was at all of these parties, but the culture that he has created, in number ten, the culture that he has created, in numberten, he the culture that he has created, in number ten, he lives in number ten, he would know about these, and he has not taken action for them. that is not leadership. under such a national crisis that we have been through and are still going through now, that would be far worse, actually, because if he was not at the parties but was allowing them to go ahead, that is one rule for them and another rule for the others. whether it is the elected members, the staff of the civil service, he needs moral authority. councillor alistair little, _ needs moral authority. councillor alistair little, thanks _ needs moral authority. councillor alistair little, thanks for- needs moral authority. councillor alistair little, thanks for talking l alistair little, thanks for talking to us. here's tomasz with a look at this morning's weather. watch often to go? yeah, it is. if ou are watch often to go? yeah, it is. if you are watching _ watch often to go? yeah, it is. if you are watching an _ watch often to go? yeah, it is. if you are watching an hour- watch often to go? yeah, it is. if you are watching an hour ago, i watch often to go? yeah, it is. if| you are watching an hour ago, my smartwatch went off. but it is on theatre mode now. we won't be interrupted. this is the kind of weather that we have today. some raindrops falling on the graphics, and that maybe there will be a few spots of rain
7:21 am
for some of us to come. it is generally frost free, not completely, but generally frost free. a weather front is moving completely, but generally frost free. a weatherfront is moving on, you can see a fair bit of cloud in the recent satellite pictures here across scotland and the north of england, northern ireland. the latter weather front has brought already a little bit of rain and will continue to do so through the course of this morning and this afternoon. and behind it we have got atlanticare coming in, this is not particularly warm air, but it is milder than it was at this time yesterday. so here is the weather front and you can see a bit of rain may be going through parts of the northwest here into the midlands, and i think that weather front will rain itself out before it reaches the south. so perhaps cloudy conditions for london, but the rest of the country, so the north, i think we're in for a mostly sunny sunday, it may few in the western isles, quite windy for our friends in the northern isles as well, up to gale force, just on the edge of this high—pressure with all the winds blowing around it. tonight, in the
7:22 am
middle of the high—pressure, that is why most of us will find ourselves. it will become unclear tonight and they will be a frost this time tomorrow morning. so here is the weather map for tomorrow morning. we are in the centre of the high. when you find yourself in the middle of that high, these are the conditions you get, windless weather, calm weather, mist and fog, this does what it says on the tin, it is quite shallow. when you see it in the countryside, that is what it is. we will see some of that forming across parts of england and wales tomorrow, we have light winds. but overall, it is a beautiful sunny winter 's day tomorrow, to start the week with, bang on average temperatures, more or less, across the board, and then i think on tuesday, another sneaky weather front moves into the north and perhaps increases the wind across scotland, brings a few showers. here across england, i think on tuesday morning, so if you are travelling on tuesday morning, there could be dense fog forming here, but i think in the north, across scotland, more of the breeze and a few showers, and a little bit
7:23 am
milder than i, double—figure temperatures. the way and glasgow, more like 5—7, i think, across the midlands and east anglia. and the outlook, really, for the rest of the week, you can see that it is pretty calm weather with high pressure. back to you in the studio. we could do with some can't weather. thank you, we will speak to you later. the prime minister of new zealand, jacinda ardern, says a tsunami has inflicted significant damage on tonga, following a volcanic eruption in the south pacific. there have been no reports of deaths, but communication with some islands remains limited this morning. let's speak now to professor shane cronin, a volcanologist at the university of auckland. good morning to you, shane. thank you so much for talking to us this morning. it looks like the most enormous eruption on the pictures we've been seeing this morning. could you put into context how big it is, in the scheme of volcanic eruptions? it is, in the scheme of volcanic emptions?_

7:29 am
have you seen that in reality underground? has there been a lot of outspoken support the anti— vaccine movement because of novak djokovic�*s presence in australia? do you think thatis presence in australia? do you think that is a fair argument? ida. presence in australia? do you think that is a fair argument?— that is a fair argument? no, i don't. i think— that is a fair argument? no, i don't. | think it— that is a fair argument? no, i don't. i think it is— that is a fair argument? no, i don't. i think it is probably i don't. i think it is probably unfair, because novak djokovic comes here to play tennis, he doesn't go out and do protests, and the like. there are certainly some thatjumped on the novak djokovic bandwagon and kind of used him as their representative or hero, if you like, in representing their movement, but i think it is important to remember that the government cancelled his visa because they believed they had enough evidence to go through with that cancellation. this was going to be a mighty embarrassment for the immigration minister and the government if they were to lose. there was a comment today from the legal representation for the government that said, the government does not have to prove djokovic will foster anti—vaccination sentiment,
7:30 am
only that he may foster that anti—vaccination sentiment. so just the thought of novak djokovic potentially spouting anti—vaccination rhetoric was enough for the government to cancel his visa, and that is what i have one today. visa, and that is what i have one toda . �* . , visa, and that is what i have one toda .�* ., visa, and that is what i have one toda . �* ., ., today. and as you mentioned, and embarrassment _ today. and as you mentioned, and embarrassment for _ today. and as you mentioned, and embarrassment for senior - today. and as you mentioned, and l embarrassment for senior politicians there. this is all set against the fact that australia faces federal elections in just a few months, i am sure the campaigning will be under way soon. so they didn't want something that the opposition could presumably loot —— use against them? correct, roger. when alex hawke made the decision to cancel the visa, the immediate reaction was appreciation from much of the victorian electorate, but this was the right decision, this was what had to be done, cancel his visa and have him deported. when this went to appeal, i think a lot of people were nervous as to what might happen, none more nervous than the federal government.
7:31 am
because if they hadn't one today, that would have been an incredible embarrassment, and you would have wondered, how can they make the decision to cancel the visa when they didn't have their ducks a row? really they did, they are vindicated today, and i think nobody would be signing more relief than alex hawke. is the length of time quite embarrassing?, for the authorities embarrassing? , for the authorities over there? embarrassing?, for the authorities overthere? he embarrassing?, for the authorities over there? he arrived in australia on the fourth of january, here we are on the 16th, with this process seemingly now concluded, it has taken a long time, hasn't it? i agree, the fact that the court case initially they decided last monday byjudge anthony kelly, but seems to be speedy, that was when we found out the immigration minister was leaving open to cancel novak cosmic visa, i think that decision should have been made within 48 hours. it was too long. the fact it came down friday night melbourne time just seemed poor timing.
7:32 am
friday night melbourne time just seemed poortiming. it friday night melbourne time just seemed poor timing. it needed to be made in a timely manner, even for the australian open itself. i know the australian open itself. i know the government doesn't have to worry about a sporting event but it is an event that puts australia on the world stage. make a decision. this probably should have been heard last wednesday or thursday and been given a three day buffer leading into the first grand slam of the year. shane, sta with first grand slam of the year. shane, stay with us. — first grand slam of the year. shane, stay with us, we've _ first grand slam of the year. shane, stay with us, we've also _ first grand slam of the year. shane, stay with us, we've also got - first grand slam of the year. shane, stay with us, we've also got karina i stay with us, we've also got karina forjoining us, showers also in melbourne, not farfrom forjoining us, showers also in melbourne, not far from you this morning, showers an immigration lawyer. carina, thank you for joining us on bbc breakfast, we are gratefulfor joining us on bbc breakfast, we are grateful for your joining us on bbc breakfast, we are gratefulfor your time. joining us on bbc breakfast, we are gratefulforyourtime. is joining us on bbc breakfast, we are gratefulfor your time. is this joining us on bbc breakfast, we are grateful for your time. is this the end of the road, there are no further appeals for novak djokovic? he will be leaving australia? is that the case? i he will be leaving australia? is that the case?— he will be leaving australia? is that the case? i think that is the case, that the case? i think that is the case. because — that the case? i think that is the case, because he _ that the case? i think that is the case, because he could - that the case? i think that is the case, because he could appeal. that the case? i think that is the | case, because he could appeal to that the case? i think that is the i case, because he could appeal to the high court, but ijust don't think the high court could determine it in a time that would really, even, within the timeframe of rest of the tournament. i doubt very much that we are going to consider that, so it
7:33 am
is very likely that he is going to be removed unless there was a change of pace from the minister, and i don't think that is going to happen. as an immigration lawyer, what was your reaction to the verdict? were your reaction to the verdict? were you surprised? i your reaction to the verdict? were you surprised?— your reaction to the verdict? were you surprised? i thought one of the rounds you surprised? i thought one of the grounds had _ you surprised? i thought one of the grounds had some _ you surprised? i thought one of the grounds had some chance - you surprised? i thought one of the grounds had some chance today, i you surprised? i thought one of the i grounds had some chance today, but can you could tell that two of the grounds were out pretty early on. the difficulty is, when the minister uses his power, it is very, very hard to review it, because the law goesin hard to review it, because the law goes in his favour. effectively that is why the minister does it, because it comes very hard to review the decision. in it comes very hard to review the decision. , ., , ., decision. in terms of tennis and novak djokovic's _ decision. in terms of tennis and novak djokovic's legacy, - decision. in terms of tennis and novak djokovic's legacy, he i decision. in terms of tennis and | novak djokovic's legacy, he now faces a three band from australia, he is on 20 grand slam titles beyond natal and et cetera, he was hoping to make it to 21, to become the greatest of all time. when you think his legacy is left now? he has done
7:34 am
incredibly well, nine australian open titles over his career, that is where he has enjoyed so much success. do you think you now faces a situation where he is not going to make it to that 21? i a situation where he is not going to make it to that 21?— make it to that 21? i think he still will, he is — make it to that 21? i think he still will. he is only — make it to that 21? i think he still will, he is only 34, _ make it to that 21? i think he still will, he is only 34, he _ make it to that 21? i think he still will, he is only 34, he is - make it to that 21? i think he still will, he is only 34, he is still- make it to that 21? i think he still will, he is only 34, he is still the | will, he is only 34, he is still the top tennis player in the world at the moment. there will be questions about how he gets into other tournaments during the year, namely the indian wells tournament in march, whether or not this visa cancellation in australia affects his chances of getting into the united states. of course, that could impact the us open as well. with regards to the three—year band, but can be waived. so it is not set in stone. you would think, given the evolution of this pandemic and the way that it is going, maybe the immigration minister decides to waive that three—year band, australia and the world could be a very different looking place in 12 months. it certainly does not make has to be a industries legacy, the fact that he may not be the first to

7:36 am
french open. this is where he wins. to be sent to be sent away like this, it is not always about results. to maybe not be able to return for three years, this could be the peak of his career. i imagine that will be waived. no decision has been made about thatjust that will be waived. no decision has been made about that just yet. that will be waived. no decision has been made about thatjust yet. i can't see it be the last of novak djokovic in melbourne but it is just an incredible story, and if one man can bounce back from this... it is the rubber man, novak djokovic. he had been scheduled to begin the defence of his title tomorrow, but the world number one looks to be heading home instead. his first—round match another serbian, miomir kecmanovic, was supposed to be staged in the rod laver arena night session tomorrow but organisers willl now be forced to change the draw and a lucky loser will take his slot. it's likely the three year ban from australia will be waived for djokovic however that
7:37 am
decidion has yet to be made. in the ashes, england's bowlers have impressed today, particualrly mark wood who has his career best return in a test match with 6 wickets. wood continued his good form from yesterday first removing scott boland and then he dismissed travis head — who scored a century in the first innings — caught by billings forjust 8. steve smith went for 27 caught by dawid malan off the bowling of wood. stuart broad pitched in removing cameron green and alex carey. and then wood dismissed the aussie captain pat cummins to end the innings. australia all out then for 155. so it's over to the batters — england chasing an unlikely 271 to win. and they are currently 12 without loss. —— 16 without loss. to the premier league
7:38 am
where manchester city are 13 points clear at the top this morning, after victory over their nearest rivals chelsea. there was just one goal in it, coming from kevin de bruyne with a moment of brilliance in the second half. it's citys12th league win in a row and afterwards manager pep guardiola had plenty of praise for his goalscorer. he won a lot in this club and still remains the same guy i met the first day. he's incredibly humble. always do for the team everything, and you cannot imagine how difficult it is to find this type of incredible top talent player has his humility and to still do it, player of the year in england, a lot of prizes, and still come. i'm very pleased for him because he deserved it. lots of praise too for aston villa after they fought back from 2—0 down to earn a point against manchester united. new star signing phillipe countinho scoring the equaliser moments after coming off the bench for his first appearance. coutinho making it 2—2 and earning praise from his former liverpool

teammate, and now manager steven gerrard. and there's increasing speculation that everton manager rafa benitez may be on the verge of leaving the club after his side were beaten 2—1 at norwich. its their 9th defeat in 12 premier league games, and sparked angry scenes from fans. in rugby union, wasps picked up another notable scalp as they beat holders toulouse by 30 points to 22 in the european champions cup. wasps beat the in form side leicester in the premiership last weekend, and ran in three tries as they enjoyed another convincing victory. leicester bounced back from that wasps defeat with a 29—28
7:40 am
win at connacht. a last minute try from hos—ea sau—maki ensured leicester will make the last 16, with three wins out of three. ospreys' hopes of reaching the next stage were dealt a blow. despite scoring the first try against racing, the french side then ran in 3 of their own to win 25 —10. exeter ran in eight tries as they thrashed glasgow warriors by 52 points to 17. there was a hat—trick for tom o'flaherty. pretty awful visibility down in the bay of biscay where bath were beaten 39—21 by la rochelle. rayond rhule scored the last of their 5 tries. no bonus point for bath. england's netballers take on the world champions new zealand today at london's copper box arena. it's the roses second game in 24 hours after a commanding 71—47 victory over south africa yesterday. new zealand lost their opening match of the quad series to australia. there was some late night drama at the masters snooker where barry hawkins beat the 2019 championjudd trump 6—5, to reach today's final at alexandra palace. hawkins had taken a 4—2
7:41 am
lead in the match only for trump to win the next 3 frames to take the match to a decider. it was a tense one but hawkins showed great resolve to reach his second masters final. so he'll meet neil robertson later after the 2012 champion fought back from 4—1 down to win a dramatic final—frame decider against mark williams. we have that final to look forward to. the whole masters has been dramatic with. —— with lots of twists and turns. more interesting than the courtroom last —— this afternoon. than the courtroom last -- this afternoon-— than the courtroom last -- this afternoon. ~ ., , , ., afternoon. we can hopefully now

7:46 am
applause. it is so good and so complicated. their feet are just a blur when they are dancing. no wonder they are expending so much energy. absolutely. can we have a look at the weather. here's tomasz with a look at this morning's weather. how are you this morning? good morning to you. overall a pleasant day on the way for most of us today. it is a bit milder than yesterday. it is a bit milder than yesterday. it might cloud over for a it is a bit milder than yesterday. it might cloud overfor a time it is a bit milder than yesterday. it might cloud over for a time today and they could be a little bit of rain if it hasn't already happened where you are that is because a weather front is approaching what is already moving across scotland and northern ireland. here it is around late morning and by lunchtime somewhere pretty much across central parts of the uk. that means basically increasing cloud and temporarily we will have a little bit of damp weather. also behind this weather front a current of slightly milder air which is what things from becoming too cold
7:47 am
overnight. here is ten o'clock in the morning you can see a few spots of rain across yorkshire and possibly the midlands and then by this week when the weather front met —— reaches the south it will be layers of cloud and bright weather in southern areas and may be some rain but nothing more. the rest of us fine and sunny afternoon for liverpool, belfast, edinburgh as well. tonight the winds for light across most of the uk. they will be across most of the uk. they will be a touch of frost and it won't be frosty across the north of scotland. blustery by day and night with some showers but temperatures across central england being below freezing outside of town in the middle of cityjust above. there is a weather map for monday and you are familiar with this, this is high pressure. which means the atmosphere is pressing down on us. the wind is light and exhaust stable. get this weather and this is the weather the week ahead. we will find a very stable weather, foggy mornings with a bit of frost. here is an example
7:48 am
of the fog work could be on monday. overall we should start the week on a mostly sunny note. tomorrow a fine day with temperatures of around eight degrees pretty much across the board. the high—pressure slips are further south so the fine settled weather across not tomorrow that is, tuesday, this is tuesday, on tuesday, this is tuesday, on tuesday, the high—pressure is here. thick, widespread fog on tuesday in the south of england but in the north of the country we have a weather front and we have got some showers on the way though a little more unsettled on tuesday in the north. back to you. ever wondered what kind of cars we'll be driving in the future? surely everybody has been wondering. playing cars? —— flying. this week, the click team has been on a mission to find out.
7:49 am
hey, welcome back to the consumer electronics show in las vegas. we have cars for you this week, lots of them. one of the biggest draws of this show in recent years has been the motor hall. so, lara, are you ready to get your driving shoes on? i'm revved up and ready. 0k. on your marks...set...go! every year, ces is full of concept cars. often outlandish ideas as to how we're going to be travelling on roads in future. maybe that'll be having a chat to your vehicle... do you like it? yes. sounds good. ..or turning the back into a really impractical and uncomfortable living room. this year, though, there
7:50 am
was at least one idea with a somewhat more convincing purpose. what i'm filming here is a concept that hopes to be able to create uncrashable cars. now, i'm getting in this vehicle, which is embedded with lidar sensors, which should stop it from hitting the, luckily, pretend child at the end of this track. this is a tesla, which is already fitted with a system that's in most new cars, which uses cameras and radars to hopefully prevent it from hitting something if an accident�*s likely to happen. but what are its limitations? suspenseful music. this feels horrible. you so just want it to stop if it gets really close... and it has quite a jolt, obviously, but we haven't hit the child. whereas the tesla... suspenseful music. that was quite something. this technology is already being built into cars right now as a safety function, and in the future, could be used in autonomous vehicles too. this tesla and other cars with current collision avoidance systems have their limits as to what they can prevent. accidents still happen but lidar has the potential to raise the bar,
7:51 am
even in low light. there is a general assumption right now that automatic emergency braking or collision avoidance systems that solve problem on cars. but the reality is actually quite the opposite. you know, people still get into car accidents all the time, and this is despite, you know, now, the substantial majority of new vehicles being produced with assisted driving capabilities, the reality is that you would think it would be easy to build system that willjust prevent you from hitting the thing right in front of you, but that's simply not the case with these existing camera and radar systems. luminar�*s laser—sensing technology measures how far away objects are, perception software interpreting that data, feeding what it finds into the control software that tells the car how and where to stop. and because it's using lidar, should also workjust as well in low light. you take a look at most of the autonomous vehicle companies that have been out there. they have generally been stuck in sort of this r&d mode, you have these giant roof racks full of sensing systems and a supercomputer in the trunk that's there to run the thing, where the objective is to try to replace the driver altogether
7:52 am
and just take a passenger from point a to point b in a right—hailing robotaxi—like environment. but the thing is, is that what we're doing is not about that, it's about actually making the drivers better, giving them almost superhuman capabilities to be able to actually save lives and have something that has an opportunity to do this today as opposed to decades from now. and another thing many drivers might like right now is an electric car with better range. well, mercedes unveiled the vision eqxx, a concept car capable of up to 648 miles on a single charge. that could take you from berlin to paris. it says that it's made possible due to a higher density battery, lower weight, 117 solar panels in the roof and better aerodynamics. it took a bit of work then! of course, it will be up to others to certify the range estimate independently, and those extra miles mean there are some compromises
7:53 am
with a top speed of only around 87mph. not that you should be driving any faster anyway! this particular model won't be going on sale, but mercedes say that many of the features are going to be added to their future evs from 2024 or 2025. meanwhile, here's something that caused its fair share of attention. this bmw changes colour! it's a colour—changing car! and to do so, it uses e—ink, the same as an e—reader. we have here is the world's first real colour—changing car. the technology e—ink is amazing. we know it from the e—readers, from the kindles, it's very low energy, it's sunlight readable and it's just colour change, there's no light, there's no leds, there's no backlight there's no oleds, it isjust colour change. so you just need a little bit of energy to change colour and absolutely no energy to hold it. so it's bi—stable and, as an engineer, that's a wonderful property to have.
7:54 am
the driver can manually choose to change colour or you can do it via the sensors that are embedded in the vehicle. so you can have a temperature sensor, that when it's hot, the car will be white, and when it's cold, it'll be black, or you can have a light sensor so it changes colour at night time. so, there could be an actual purpose, apart from driving around wrapped in a copy of war and peace. and finally, here's a car that wants to use its power to post on social media. this is the indi one, and it's very keen to show off its supercomputer. it's capable of high—quality mobile gaming and even has vr connectivity, not that that's much use to the driver whilst driving. its power also means it could be very productive for work on the go. this car isn'tjust about the supercomputer, though.
7:55 am
it's also covered in cameras. on the outside, there's one up front and back. internally, there are three as well. and if you're so inclined, you could post yourjourney on social media. yes, if getting from a to b is an interruption to your constant posting or the thing you actually want to share is yourjourney, then this car has the solution...? from the social media side, it's interesting now because so much of our life is shaped by instant media, whether it's news or social—related, and with our product, you know, when you talk influencers, of course they get really excited because for the first time, they can real—time at any time in their day or movements through the city in their vehicle, they can basically treat their vehicle as an extension of their mobile phone or their home pc. but also, the idea of archiving, you know, that type of information and for those of us, you know, thinking about using the same type of hardware for our families,
7:56 am
being able to document those moments in the car with the kids when they're learning to sing their first songs or the family singalongs or even discussions with the teenagers in the car. i'm sure they'd love that! but for looking at a baby in the back, well, this camera probably does beat the usual mirror. so, whilst every feature on every car clearly won't be for everyone, at least there are plenty of new ideas out there to make our roads safer and smoother, and to get us noticed if we want to be. now, having been to vegas every year since the beginning of time, i thought i'd seen everything here. but it turns out there's something new this year. now, you know area 51 is near here, and it's kind of weird. yeah. well, there is now area15, which is also all kinds of strange, and we sent chris fox to check it out. i've popped out to do a big shop
7:57 am
at the most talked about supermarket in las vegas. i've heard the prices here are to die for. but at this supermarket, nothing is quite as it seems. omega mart looks just like a regular supermarket — they've got food and drink you can actually buy — but everything's been infused with a secret additive, and the ceo, walter dram, hasn't been seen for a while. it makes you think there could be a mystery lying just...beneath the surface. stepping through one of the shop's portals takes you to another dimension where more of the mystery unfolds. but what you do there is up to you. there's a story to immerse yourself in using one of the store's loyalty cards to track your progress, or you can simply treat it as a very instagrammable multisensory playground. more than 300 artists have worked on creating the experience, with more than 40 projectors providing some of the visuals.
7:58 am
in the parallel dimension, i met drew dicostanzo, and i asked him whether this was more art or escape room. i think it's both of those things and more. it's really whatever you make it. you know, we're not going to tell you how to experience omega mart, what to do. it's like an open—world video game and we're going to reward your explanation and play. there's a lot of opportunities here to take a good instagram photo. how much of the design was based around making something like this instagrammable? yeah, social media's massive for us because, obviously, there's all of the posts that — the user—generated content that people provide. i mean, we're full ofjust jaw—dropping art, you know, throughout the 52,000 square feet of this exhibition. but really, that's just scratching the surface. as you start to wander and explore these different areas, you'll start to discover there's a story, there's a few different narratives that are happening. there's mysteries to solve. and if you dive even deeper down the rabbit hole, you can go through some rfid progressive digital gameplay that will take you a couple of hours
7:59 am
to hack and unlock secrets throughout the entire exhibition. drew, what inspired the omega mart? it's something that started as a small backyard art project that evolved eventually into this huge project that took three years to create. it took 325 artists from concept to opening and, you know, we have everything from digital creators, sculptors, painters, experiential artists all working together to create, you know, this narrative and build it out. so, a really giant process that took a long time. while the traditional high street has struggled in the internet age, the omega mart is thriving, and the company is already planning an expansion to this immersive experience, and opening some others. so, the next time you're out shopping, do be on the lookout for any suspicious looking wormholes to another dimension. that was chris fox.
8:00 am
that looked right up your street. absolutely was. i love weird and wonderful stuff. give me a weird supermarket, i'm all over it. should we go now? sure. alright. ok, that's it for the short version of this week's click. the full length is waiting for you right now on iplayer. and as ever, you can find the team on social media, on youtube, instagram, facebook and twitter at @bbcclick. thanks for watching. we'll see you soon. bye— bye. good morning, welcome to breakfast with rogerjohnson and katherine downes. our headlines today...
8:01 am
novak djokovic loses his fight to stay in australia. the world tennis number one is set to be deported. djokovic says he's disappointed with the ruling but will be leaving australia. it means the nine time champion won't be defending his title in melbourne as organisers look to replace him hours before the tournament begins. a former minister becomes the sixth conservative mp to call on borisjohnson to resign over the downing street lockdown parties. a tsunami has caused "significant damage" on the island of tonga after a volcanic eruption in the south pacific. so far no deaths have been reported. and we are starting on a relatively mild note this sunday morning. a little damp in places too, but sunshine it's sunday the 16th of january. some breaking news from melbourne this morning,
8:02 am
where tennis world number one, novak djokovic, has lost his fight against deportation. a panel ofjudges has upheld a decision by the australian government to cancel the player's visa because he's unvaccinated against covid—19, and poses a threat to public health. our correspondent shaimaa khalil is in melbourne. it seems to have quietened down their little we spoke to you and orrego. just tell us how that decision is going down in australia —— spoke to you one hour ago. i’ue -- spoke to you one hour ago. i've been speaking _ —— spoke to you one hour ago. is: been speaking to supporters —— spoke to you one hour ago. i�*”9 been speaking to supporters of —— spoke to you one hour ago. i�*”9: been speaking to supporters of novak djokovic. they have left now, but they were around when the decision was made and it was announced. some others in shock, some have told me that they have waited to go and see him play. he was actually on schedule of the australian open to play on monday. one woman was in
8:03 am
tears. she said he is a sportsman, he is here to play tennis, this is a job, he also said that the australian open would feel empty this year without him there, and this, after a unanimous decision by a bench of temperatures judges essentially upholding the government's decision to cancel novak djokovic's visa, and now the world number one will not be able to defend his title in the australian open and will have to be deported. we did hearfrom him in the past few minutes. he made a statement. he said extremely disappointed, i am truly disappointed with the court ruling, but i respect the court ruling, but i respect the court ruling, will cooperate with the relevant authorities in relation to my departure from the country, but he also made the point, i think this is crucial, i'm uncomfortable that the focus of the past weeks has been on me, and i hope that now we can all focus on the game and the tournament that i love. the point really to be made here, that at the
8:04 am
centre of all of this, the controversy, was the world number one coming to australia to defend his title in the australian open tennis tournament, the first grand slam of the season, he was scheduled to play tomorrow and now that is not going to happen. the australian open will go ahead regardless, but there is no doubt that it has been under the shadow of this controversy. interesting point you make about implicitly the length of time that this has gone on for, and it was taken from him, then he appealed and got it back, then he has lost his visa again, and the appeal has been thrown out. and set against all of this is the fact that there is an election coming up in australia in a few months' time and it was very important, i guess, for the government to look strong. how much of a factor was that, do you think?
8:05 am
you know what, it is on the other side of the world so it is inevitable that once in a while, communications failed. i'm sure that we will hear back from shaimaa with more reaction to the news that novak djokovic has had his appeal rejected and he will now be forced to leave australia. pressure is mounting on the prime minister as the row over parties held in downing street during lockdown continues this morning. former minister, tim loughton, has become the sixth conservative mp to publically call on borisjohnson to resign. our political correspondent, iain watson, has this report. borisjohnson is under more pressure this weekend over the reports of parties and gatherings in downing street during lockdown. mps have been hearing the views from their voters and it doesn't sound good for the prime minister. this is a former government minister, tim loughton. he is the sixth conservative mp
8:06 am
to call for borisjohnson to go. he said his constituents were troubled, angered or appalled and, writing on his facebook page, he said that terminal damage has, tragically, been done to the reputation of the prime minister, and borisjohnson's position was now untenable. but it takes 54 conservative mps to call for a leadership contest and downing street still believes borisjohnson can fight back. so far, no cabinet minister has broken ranks. and the mood of borisjohnson's mps could improve if, as expected, covid regulations are lifted in england later this month. but, it is the views of voters that will also influence mps. conservatives snatched morley and outtwood from labour in 2015 and the people here in the market few they need a new prime minister. it is a bit disgusting, really, when we had to go through everything we had to do, and not, i had my brother's funeral, where we were only allowed the immediate family. they were stood there telling us
8:07 am
to do one thing and doing another. ijust think it is disgraceful. i'm 50—50 as to whether i think he should go or not. _ the main thing is, they need a new leader. bye—bye boris. some conservative mps are saying that it is the reaction on the doorsteps that will determine whether boris johnson is shown the door. iain watson, bbc news. our political correspondent nick eardleyjoins us now. pressure is growing on the prime minister, and is there more to come do you think?— minister, and is there more to come do you think? quite possibly because man to do you think? quite possibly because many tory mps _ do you think? quite possibly because many tory mps have _ do you think? quite possibly because many tory mps have been _ do you think? quite possibly because many tory mps have been back i do you think? quite possibly because many tory mps have been back in i many tory mps have been back in their constituencies this weekend and chatting to them over recent days they are not a good mood. they are getting pressure from constituents over this, and that is hardening the mood among some of them. we heard from one council run breakfast earlier this morning saying that everyone he had spoken to thought borisjohnson should be moving on. that is not of view amongst everybody and we should not be thinking that borisjohnson is definitely done, because he still
8:08 am
has his supporters, those who think that when that report comes out potentially next week from the civil servant looking into all of these allegations, that borisjohnson might be in the clear, and the public might give him the benefit of the doubt. there is a lot of talk about borisjohnson reshuffling his top team of staff in downing street. that is something a lot of tory mps want as well. but the pressure is going to keep coming. a lot of it is going to keep coming. a lot of it is going to keep coming. a lot of it is going to be down to what happens when mps get back to westminster in the next few days, whether they think the mood has hardened in the country and that they need to act. there are some mps who are thinking of doing similar to the six we have already heard from, and saying that borisjohnson has to go. we'll be here from them publicly? and crucially, what does that report say? what does that report from sue gray say about the prime minister's role in these party? does it criticise him, say that he should have done or known more? it is a big
8:09 am
few days ahead. have done or known more? it is a big few days ahead-— the eruption of a giant underwater volcano in the pacific ocean near the island of tonga has triggered tsunami warnings across the region. the us and japan have advised people on their pacific coastlines to get away from the shore — while australia's east coast has also been put on alert. no deaths have yet been reported. russell trott reports. the tsunami left a trail of destruction across tonga's archipelago. many parts are completely covered in ash. with communications down, and neighbouring countries are frantically trying to make contact. we need to finally balance the need to get there quickly and to make sure that we get the people and resources they need there, as well, and in some cases there are parts of tonga that to establish communication with. the underwater volcanic eruption that triggered the tsunami, as seen from space,
8:10 am
lasted less than ten minutes, what caused waves of more than one metre high to crash into tonga and fiji. plumes of gas and smoke are still pouring from the volcano, reaching 20km into the sky. alerts are in place from the west coast of the united states to japan, where people were warned to stay away from the coast as much as possible. usually when we get a tsunami on the west coast, it is due to an earthquake, so this is an exceptionally rare event where a volcano that was mostly underwater has exploded and caused a tsunami across the pacific. the south pacific eruption sent a shock wave around the world, with air pressure changes recorded as far afield as canada and even scotland. the concern is now that, for the tongans who may not have scrambled to safety in time, and the fear that further eruptions can't be ruled out. russell trott, bbc news. the duke of sussex has launched a legal challenge for the right to pay for police

protection when he's in the uk. prince harry lost his security when he stepped back from royal duties in 2020. he says his private protection team in the us doesn't have adequate jurisdiction abroad or access to uk intelligence information, needed to keep his family safe. from tomorrow, 16 and 17—year—olds in england will be able to book their covid boosterjab, or attend a walk—in vaccination centre. the latest stage of the rollout will only apply to teenagers who received their second dose at least three months ago — with around 40,000 expected to be eligible initially. previously, the booster was only recommended for people in that age group who were deemed clinically vulnerable. it's just after ten past eight. over the last few months on bbc breakfast, we've covered growing calls for defibrillators to be placed in public spaces around the uk. one of those who has recentlyjoined the campaign isjon smith — a wolverhampton man who has raised
8:12 am
thousands of pounds after his friend died from a suspected cardiac arrest at a music venue in october. jonjoins us now. and he has a defibrillator. you work in the events industry setting up shows. can you explain what happened? it shows. can you explain what happened?— shows. can you explain what happened? it was an isolated incident where _ happened? it was an isolated incident where rupert - happened? it was an isolated incident where rupert was i happened? it was an isolated incident where rupert was by coincidence in our venue where we are based, doing rehearsals, and it was great to see him, but there was a few of us in that day. it was great to see him and some of our colleagues we had worked with before. there was nothing out of the ordinary. it was a normal day. then he started having a fit and became unwell and had a cardiac arrest. it was kind of something that you don't think you are ever going to go through. it was like something you would see a lot on tv and in films but when it happens in real life it is very dramatic, and you don't really know what to do. luckily, we were fortunate to have a first aid

8:21 am
negative lateral flow test results. it's hoped the move will reduce staffing pressures in some sectors, including the nhs. for more on this, we're joined by one of our regular gps, rachel ward. thank you for being with us this sunday morning, rachel. what difference do you think cutting the isolation period in england will make from selling down to five days? one of the drives for this to take place is because of the problems we are seeing with staffing in all sectors. my experience in health care, we are certainly seeing that it is very disruptive when people are off for long periods, and we think about children in school taking long periods of time off, but we do have to think about the science behind this. we know that two thirds of people, if they have done five full days of insolation, they will no longer be significantly infectious, but that does still leave one third of people who will have the ability to pass on the infection, so it is very important
8:22 am
that along with the five days isolation, the most important thing isolation, the most important thing is that you need to do a lateral flow test starting on day five, and you must have two consecutive negative lateral flow tests on day five and day six, in order to leave isolation, and this therefore reduces the number of people who will come out of isolation whilst still infectious. 50 will come out of isolation whilst still infectious.— still infectious. so the key thing is on day five — still infectious. so the key thing is on day five in _ still infectious. so the key thing is on day five in the _ still infectious. so the key thing is on day five in the morning i is on day five in the morning presumably, do a test. if it is negative, do it again on day six and if it is then negative you can go back to work straightaway on that sixth day, which will help to get people back on the front line. that is absolutely _ people back on the front line. that is absolutely right. _ people back on the front line. t'isgt is absolutely right. it is really important, the lateral flow test is done, and done correctly, and you cannot leave isolation without doing those., , cannot leave isolation without doing those. , , , :, cannot leave isolation without doing those. , , , ., 9 . those. just explain the difference between now _ those. just explain the difference between now when _ those. just explain the difference between now when you _ those. just explain the difference between now when you will i those. just explain the difference between now when you will need | those. just explain the difference i between now when you will need a lateral flow, between now when you will need a lateralflow, ora between now when you will need a lateralflow, or a pcr test, the pcr

ward. an american man believed to have faked his own death is facing extradition after being arrested in a hospital in glasgow. 34—year—old nicholas rossi was wanted by interpol and faces a charge of rape in the us state of utah. he is alleged to have used multiple aliases to escape justice — as aileen clarke reports. i can't say this enough, how bizarre this next story is. this one coming... this is a story that's making plenty of headlines in america as well as here. prosecutors in utah charged this man with the rape of a woman in 2008 after a recent cold case review. they believe the man is nicholas rossi, but say he has several aliases, as set out in court papers, including nicholas ala hverdian. prosecutors won't give away how they actually discovered that a man calling himself arthur knight admitted to the queen elizabeth university hospital in glasgow, seriously ill with covid was the man they were looking for. how we actually did that are details which we are not
8:27 am
discussing because we don't want to reveal our investigative techniques. once we determined that he was in a scottish hospital, then we were able to confirm through photographic confirmation and dna that that we had our man, so to speak. and then he was arrested in scotland, and there he awaits with bail set. and now we'll have to go through the process of proving in a scottish court that arthur knight is nicholas rossi. prosecutors believe nicholas rossi faked his own death in 2020. a funeral mass was even arranged and the priest was about to start. and then his phone rang and it was a detective from the rhode island state police who told them, "don't put that mass on, we think he's alive." so this would be a complete fraud of a memorial service. and that was a very telling and wild
8:28 am
moment, it really was the first time that reporters realised, "0h, 0k, investigators have serious questions about the story of his death." prosecutors believe nicolas rossi may be of interest to police in several us states. the man who told the hospital he was called arthur knight is no longer being treated here. but the crown office tell us it was from here last month that he appeared by video link as part of the extradition proceedings for the united states. he's now on bail with his bail conditions set by the scottish sheriff, who heard that case after hearing the concerns of the utah prosecutors of this man's flight risk. aileen clarke, bbc news, glasgow. intriguing story. quite a remarkable tale. stay with us, more news and sport coming up.

her report and some don't underplay her report and some don't underplay her stature. the former minister, david laws, on the left, recalls being told by oliver letwin on the right. it took him two years before i realised who runs britain. it is entirely run by a lady called sue gray. no doubt she would categorise it in that way, but it is not an exaggeration to say this report impacts the future of the uk. we might find rules for not broken, but if it finds they wear and boris johnson was willing participant, his position will come under pressure. her report may not run the country, but it may determine who leads it. let's get more on this story with our political panel. joining us this morning is mhari aurora, red box reporter from the times, and rachel wearmouth, who is the senior political correspondent at the daily mirror. thank you forjoining us this sunday morning. you have said it will be a
8:44 am
crucial week for the prime minister? absolutely. the sources i am speaking to, they very much feel it is make or break this week. boris johnson, if he's going to go, he will go this week, or next week max. if not, after the may elections. rachel, there was a lot of talk in that explain a report talking about sue gray. not in any way impugning her, but people have pointed out she is effectively reporting on her bosses. the government says it will be independent and free of fear or favour, but as many people say, it is not independent. what is the word around westminster? did people expect this to be, whatever it finds, to be free of fear or favour? simply, nobody knows what is in sue gray's _ simply, nobody knows what is in sue gray's report yet. we expect that to be published this week. as the report—

8:46 am
low. massive are on a massive ten point lead. people will have taken the weekend to think about it, test the weekend to think about it, test the water, speak to associations, speak to constituents and see. some mps are saying they think boris johnson can ride this out because they haven't had any where near the number of complaining letters from constituents about this, compared to what they had about dominic cummings and the barnard castle scandal. there is still hope for boris johnson, some of his allies think he can ride this out and pull something out of the bag in may and prove he is still an election winner and therefore stay in post. there is a lot of ifs and a lot of things that go right and a lot of things stop happening, such as more party revelations, but realistically, they will be more to come. but over the weekend, the public will have had time to feel, feel out how much of a scandal this is and actually do they really want boris johnson to

goodbye to katherine, who is off to read the news for the new "sunday morning" programme with sophie raworth. thank you for having me. glad to be here. now here's tomasz with a look at this morning's weather. iam being i am being criticised by the team, but i think you have done a great job with colour coordinating your tie with the clicker this morning. i am the only one who appreciates your attention to detail. i never knew anyone would notice. let me go closer to the screen. that is why it makes you such a good weather forecaster. never been asked about this. we wondered whether you had done it on purpose? no, not at all. i do love this tie, i don't often wear it. actually, you know what? i will show you
8:50 am
something, i am going to switch the screen to green and now you can see screen to green and now you can see it screen to green and now you can see it has gone a different colour. sometimes what you see on television is not what actually... look at that. he has all sorts of technology. frost free, a little bit of rain around at the moment. a weather front crossing the country right now. that is going to bring some spots of rain to northern parts of the uk. milder air coming some spots of rain to northern parts of the uk. milderair coming in some spots of rain to northern parts of the uk. milder air coming in as well. this is where the weather front is right now and there is a fair bit of cloud, too. that is going to produce a little bit of rain and it is misty and murky in the south of the country. eventually it will brighten up and it will be a decent enough day across the north of the country, 8 degrees in liverpool with some sunshine and the same for newcastle as well. tonight, the winds fall like, frost forming.
8:51 am
by the winds fall like, frost forming. by the early hours of the morning temperatures dipping down to around minus one degree in the countryside and in bigger towns and cities it will bejust above and in bigger towns and cities it will be just above freezing. high pressure builds tomorrow. that means settled weather with light winds. there might be a bit of mist and fog in the morning and indeed, i think the week ahead looks pretty settled, high pressure will hang around so frosty, foggy mornings on the cards. this is what it looks like in the morning, patchy mist and fog, lots of bright and sunny weather. i think it will be a sunnier day tomorrow compared to today. temperatures up to 8 degrees across the board. this is the weather map for tuesday. high pressure in the south means that in the morning on tuesday the south will be quite foggy, quite dense fog for a time. but in the north—west we have a weather front coming in bringing some wind and rain. only for a short while. temperatures on tuesday will be around double
8:52 am
figures in the north—west, because of the westerly atlantic wind. cold weather fog of the westerly atlantic wind. cold weatherfog persist of the westerly atlantic wind. cold weather fog persist across of the westerly atlantic wind. cold weatherfog persist across england and wales, may be 5 degrees up to a degree celsius. the summary for the week ahead, even into the weekend, overall it is looking pretty settled. the weather is not looking bad with temperatures around the average and some sunshine to be had. that is it from me, have a great rest of the day and the weekend. thank you for the insight as well. if you think it's cold outside today, this should help put things into perspective. in the winter of 1947, the town of whitby in north yorkshire was so badly hit by snow and ice, it was cut off for eight weeks. a journalist called john tindale took photographs and, many years later, recorded people's memories of that time. the big snow in 1947 was very
8:53 am
serious. the roads were blocked. i took all the milk from the farms on this sled. the snow was right up to the top of the hedges. we this sled. the snow was right up to the top of the hedges.— the top of the hedges. we couldn't see the hedges _ the top of the hedges. we couldn't see the hedges for _ the top of the hedges. we couldn't see the hedges for the _ the top of the hedges. we couldn't see the hedges for the ice - the top of the hedges. we couldn't see the hedges for the ice and - the top of the hedges. we couldn't l see the hedges for the ice and snow. have you _ see the hedges for the ice and snow. have you any sheep? yes. see the hedges for the ice and snow. have you any sheep?— see the hedges for the ice and snow. have you any sheep? yes. there were a few lost. — have you any sheep? yes. there were a few lost. when _ have you any sheep? yes. there were a few lost, when the _ have you any sheep? yes. there were a few lost, when the snow— have you any sheep? yes. there were a few lost, when the snow went, - a few lost, when the snow went, there were skeletons galore of sheep. there were skeletons galore of shee -. ~ ., . there were skeletons galore of shee, . ., ., , there were skeletons galore of shee. ~ ., ., , sheep. would have been some digging out? yes. sheep. would have been some digging out? yes- how— sheep. would have been some digging out? yes. how did _ sheep. would have been some digging out? yes. how did you _ sheep. would have been some digging out? yes. how did you get _ sheep. would have been some digging out? yes. how did you get on - sheep. would have been some digging out? yes. how did you get on for- out? yes. how did you get on for supplies? — out? yes. how did you get on for supplies? eventually _ out? yes. how did you get on for supplies? eventually they - out? yes. how did you get on for supplies? eventually they drop . out? yes. how did you get on for. supplies? eventually they drop stuff with the helicopter. _ those photographs and interviews were the work ofjohn tindale, whose son
8:54 am
david is here. your dad was 26 and just come out of the raf, you were telling me. gosh, it must have kept him really busy and cold for about eight weeks? he: couldn't get out of town a lot of the town. so these are the photos of the town. so these are the photos of the later storms that hit whitby. whitby is a very isolated place on the coast, on the north yorkshire coast. when the easterlies come in, which they do a couple of times every decade and you get the big snow coming down, people do get stuck, absolutely stuck. even a drive to the edge of town in 1947 and you would come to the last houses and then there were just be 15 feet of snow on the roads out. a lot of this material we are looking at on the photos, is of people retrospectively telling the tales about what they did during this massive freeze. that

8:57 am
unbelievable what people would do. i don't know how long he carried on, he was only 26 then, so i guess his career carried on for some decades, as technology evolved, did he still have the same love for it as he did for these old black and white snaps? you cannot do colour really yourself. so my dad was working from above a chemist shop looking over the harbour in whitby. he built his own studios and all of the rest of it up there. he had the facilities to analog photoshop, we all photoshop a digital image now, but it is all this fishing of chemicals, those people who have done photography a college will know what i am talking about. when colour came along, the chemicals and the techniques you need are not so easily done at home. luckily that was towards the end of his career and that is when he switched to recording the culture of the place. this is all part of an exhibition,
