to public health. the serbian prime minster has accused australia of a witch hunt. meanwhile, back in melbourne, the australian open is now underway without its defending men's champion. from there shaimaa khalil reports. he's used to winning on court, but today, he was defeated in it. the world number one men's tennis player lost his last—ditch battle to stay in the country and was forced out of australia. ..the amended application be dismissed, with costs... threejudges upheld the government's decision to cancel his visa. the immigration minister had argued that the unvaccinated tennis star's presence here could bolster anti—vaccination sentiment. in his statement, the world number one said... outside the court, many of his fans were still in shock.

and emotions were high. it's disgraceful, how has his first visa been...? how did the first court ruling rule in his favour but now it's ruled against him, why? he had an exemption to come here and play tennis, he was allowed to come here, and that's what he should be doing. it's a political stunt. and serbia's president was even more indignant. he came there with medical exemption proposal, and then you were mistreating him for ten days, why did you do it? and then doing that witches hunt campaign against him, and that is something that no—one can understand. this was a high—stakes court battle for both sides. the government has been publicly embarrassed by its mishandling of the controversy, while the player was desperate to avoid forfeiting the chance to compete for his record—breaking 21st grand slam title. shaimaa khalil,

bbc news, melbourne. as we are expecting novak djokovic �*s flight to arrive in any minute now and from dubai we can speak to our middle east correspondent. we also have phil mercer in melbourne, following this story right from the start. great to have you both on the programme, but let me start with samir. how we got any further details about that arrival of novak djokovic �*s flight? we know the emirates flight will be landing in the next few minutes, it was originally supposed to land at 5:40am local time but now we are told that could be a little earlier than that. what happens next, we still don't know, because whether he will be flying to serbia, whether he goes to spain or the sides to stay, that looks quite unlikely but we don't have those details,

but we know the fight will land in the next few minutes. find in the next few minutes. and i'm sure _ in the next few minutes. and i'm sure you _ in the next few minutes. and i'm sure you will— in the next few minutes. and i'm sure you will be - in the next few minutes. and i'm sure you will be keeping us up—to—date as to the latest developments when that happens. are we expecting him to say anything or make a statement at the airport? have fans gathered at the scene to greet him? i don't think any fans have gathered, that's what we know. is still not clear whether he be making a comment or doing an interview, at the airport, and interestingly, ten days ago, on january six, little did we know the drama that would unfold at that point in time. one of the options in front of him, either he goes back to serbia, where his family has issued statements and the president of the country has appealed that he should come back home, of course it is a hot issue right now in serbia, and the second

option is to go to spain where he could go via dubai, and option three could be his days, and that's what a lot of the courts have been expecting. how long he will stay that we don't know, we will have more clarity want to land but it looks unlikely he would make comments here in dubai.— here in dubai. thank you for keein: here in dubai. thank you for keeping us _ here in dubai. thank you for keeping us up-to-date - here in dubai. thank you for keeping us up-to-date on . here in dubai. thank you for i keeping us up-to-date on the keeping us up—to—date on the situation at the dubai airport. meanwhile, i want to turn to you feel, and you are in melbourne, which has been the scene of this entire controversy, the saga to some respects. what are some of the things you have been hearing from people in terms of their opinions on what has happened? midday in melbourne and i have just seen one of novak djokovic �*s supporters walk past with a big flag and a big picture of novak djokovic on his back with the words goat, greatest of all time. not quite, of course had

novak djokovic been allowed to compete here at the australian open, he would have had the opportunity to win that record—breaking 21st grand slam, but as far as many fans are concerned here at melbourne park, life goes on, there is great disappointment that novak djokovic will not be showcasing his amazing skills here at the australian open, but having spoken to friends in the last couple of hours, there is a feeling that novak djokovic has tried to exploit loopholes and many australian fans are glad he is gone. many australian fans are glad he is gone-— many australian fans are glad he is gone. most of the tennis -la ers he is gone. most of the tennis players are — he is gone. most of the tennis players are vaccinated - he is gone. most of the tennis players are vaccinated so - players are vaccinated so obviously that was a requirement to get into the country, so i feel as if everybody else did it he should have done it, but the government should have taken some responsibility with giving him the exemption initially and did not have at this point basically. did not have at this point basically-—

it seems like the consensus is fans agree with the decision to have documents leave the country. have documents leave the count . �* have documents leave the country-— have documents leave the count .�* ., ., country. adding to that is a sense that _ country. adding to that is a sense that the _ country. adding to that is a sense that the situation - country. adding to that is a sense that the situation of| sense that the situation of course has been very messy, and there will be questions as to why novak djokovic was granted this medical exemption from australia �*s covid—i9 vaccination immigration regulations. he was granted that waiver by tennis australia, which is the governing body and also the victorian state government, melbourne is the state capital of victoria but we know back documents arrived at the border, that waiver was challenged by federal authorities, so why many australians believe that novak djokovic tried to exploit luke — loophole in the regulations and believe he should have been deported, they will be questions the overall handling of this issue, and i think it's

important to state that this storm around novak djokovic has really erupted at a time when australia is recording tens of thousands of new covid—i9 infections each and every day. we have not seen these numbers all the way through the pandemic. this is a highly vaccinated country, but one thatis vaccinated country, but one that is in the grip of a worsening omicron wave, so that explains i think, why many australians were deeply frustrated novak djokovic came into the country, and was not vaccinated. thank you so much forjoining us both on newsday. just a reminder to our audiences who have been following this, i want to add that following the decision djokovic had said he was extremely disappointed by the ruling, but respected the court �*s decision, also saying i am uncomfortable that the focus of the past week has been on me, i hope we can all now

focus on the game and the tournament and i love, the australian open under way i should say in melbourne right now. in the last hour, police in manchester in england have said two teenagers have been arrested in connection with the hostage stand off in texas on saturday. president biden has called the event an act of terror. four people escaped unharmed after being held for several hours in a synagogue near dallas. the hostage—taker was a british citizen named malik faisal akram. he died during the siege. sophie long reports. this is the moment the three final hostages ran for their lives, more than ten hours after their ordeal began. a successful but nonetheless terrifying end to the delicate day—long operation involving negotiators and heavily armed police. the man, now identified as malik faisal akram, a 44—year—old british citizen originally from lancashire, was shot and killed. he'd claimed to have a gun

and a bomb when he interrupted a peaceful morning service being streamed from the congregation beth israel in dallas. initially, four people were taken hostage, including the rabbi. six hours later, one was released unharmed. for the others, the ordeal was to continue until the fbi swat team stormed the building. sometime around 9pm today, this evening, the hrt, the hostage rescue team, breached the synagogue, they rescued the three hostages and the subject is deceased. people came here, a place of worship, to pray, but once again in america, a moment of peace became a moment of profound pain. as the people who were trapped, terrified, try to come to terms with what happened, synagogues across the country have increased security in fear of copycat attacks. this was an act of terror, this was an out of terror, we're not going to tolerate this. we have this capacity to deal

with assaults on particularly the anti—semitism that has grown up, i'll be putting a call into the rabbi, we missed one another on the way up here, but they should rest assured that we are focused. akram, who arrived in the united states two weeks ago, was heard ranting about religion and demanding the release of a pakistani neuroscientist with suspected links to al-qaeda currently serving a prison sentence in texas. british police are now assisting the us authorities with their investigation. sophie long, bbc news, dallas. our reporter greg mckenzie has this update on the ongoing investigation. greater manchester police have announced in last hour they have made two arrests, two teenagers who have been arrested in south manchester as part of this investigation. following the incident over the weekend. in terms of the

teenagers, the police are not revealing their genders, so we don't know if they are male or female, ortheirages, orwhy they have been arrested, or indeed the connection to the incident, but what we do know is that they are currently being interviewed by counterterrorism police in manchester, and the police in manchester, and the police in manchester have issued a statement saying that forces will remain in the region of manchester and are liaising with local communities to put in place any measures to provide further reassurance to local communities. you're watching newsday on the bbc. still to come on the programme: we will get the latest from tonga as a new zealand air force plane flies to the island to assess the damage caused by saturday �*s volcanic eruption on samoa.

weather satellites caught the moment the huge underwater volcano let loose, sending a cloud of ash and rock 20 kilometres high and at least 500 kilometres wide. that's an ash cloud that could stretch from london to edinburgh, and somewhere beneath it is the tiny island kingdom of tonga. the first thing to hit the island was the shockwave. then came the rushing waters of a tsunami, smashing into seawalls and flooding what here appears to be a church. next, day turned tonight as the ash to fall. these pictures are reportedly from saturday afternoon, as people were trying to flee from the coast. in new zealand, prime ministerjacinda ardern said communication with tonga remains difficult. shops along the coast have been damaged and a significantly clean—up will be needed. nuku'alofa is covered in a thick film of volcanic dust, but otherwise, conditions are calm and stable.

the hunga—tonga—hunga—ha'apai volcano has been active since mid—december. the eruption sent a tsunami wave right across the pacific ocean. i'm sure we'll find out, but at the moment it's not clear whether the tsunami was caused by a big collapse of material underwater, or even the shockwave itself perhaps acting as a fist and slapping down on the sea and producing a displacement which then propagates as a wave. in new zealand, the tsunami caused serious damage, smashing boats against each other and causing some to sink. but tonight, the main concern remains tonga. until the ash cloud clears and new zealand and australia can begin sending military flights, it remains very unclear how bad the situation on the island really is. rupert wingfield—hayes, bbc news, in tokyo.

i've been speaking to anna jane lagi, a tongan university student in neighbouring fiji, who began by sharing some good news. idid hear i did hearjust an hour before this interview that my mum and my siblings are good and hopefully my dad and my auntie as well. we were able to contact them by asking someone who was working at a place where they have a satellite phone, and they were able to contact a few family members and get back to us, but they are safe. and get back to us, but they are safe-— are safe. that is excellent news, are safe. that is excellent news. so _ are safe. that is excellent news. so happy _ are safe. that is excellent news, so happy to - are safe. that is excellent news, so happy to hear. are safe. that is excellent i news, so happy to hear that. are safe. that is excellent - news, so happy to hear that. it must be such a worrying time for the tongan community, obviously notjust on the island nation, but in fiji, which has i understand it, has quite a sizeable tongan community?— quite a sizeable tongan community? quite a sizeable tongan communi ? , ., , community? yes, quite a number of us i community? yes, quite a number of us i hear— community? yes, quite a number of us i hear stop _ community? yes, quite a number of us i hear stop as _ community? yes, quite a number of us i hear stop as well - community? yes, quite a number of us i hear stop as well as - community? yes, quite a number of us i hear stop as well as in - of us i hear stop as well as in other countries. we have all really been pulled together by

this event, it has really unified a lot of tongans around the globe, so there were numerous programmes where everybody came together to pray and encourage each other as we wait for updates from tonga. in the early hours of this unfolding, i imagine it was very difficult to get any sort of communication from loved ones from the area, talk us through how you and your friends in fiji tried to get in touch with family members? irlot touch with family members? not a lot of us _ touch with family members? not a lot of us were _ touch with family members? iirrt a lot of us were actually aware of what was going on. we understood there was a tsunami warning, but it had been so long since one had actually happened in tonga but i guess we were also comfortable, and didn't expect to through, until the eruptions happen sometime in the afternoon, and then it's just derailed up to that whole situation, and family members were calling us, my mom called

me, my sister called me, we were on call and within a span of 30 minutes we watched as tonga went from shady to dark, to pitch black, the road was only lit by the lights of the cars as they were queueing up to get to evacuation places, and just around 6pm to 7pm that night, the calls switched off, and i assume they turned it off so they can settle themselves in or something, but then a lot of the tongans here were messaging each other because they couldn't get hold of their family members either, and then we realised there must have been a blackout, so it was really hard, there was nothing we could do, we couldn't talk to them, we couldn't ask them how they were doing, we couldn't find out if they had reached the evacuation place, we just sat and hoped to gather for the best and. and so far

the updates are good. let's take a look at some other stories in the headlines. more now on the breaking news we brought in the last hour. north korea has filed a missile into the sea of japan, its fourth launch this month. south korean and japanese military units detected the missile, fired from north korea's east coast, and it is not known what type of weapon was being tested. earlierthis type of weapon was being tested. earlier this month, north korea claims to have successfully launched two hypersonic missiles and a pair of short—range ballistic missiles. the uk labour leader says borisjohnson has presided over industrial scale partying in downing street and renewed his call for the prime minister to resign. sir keir starmer said there was no need to wait for the senior civil servant inquiry into a series of alleged rule—breaking parties. the conservative party chairman oliver dowden admitted there were failings in number 10 but denied it was a resigning matter

for the prime minister. here's our political correspondent, chris mason. this remains a moment of danger for the prime minister. conservative mps have spent the weekend back in the patches that sent them to westminster. eyes and ears alerted to the outrage or otherwise of their electorate. places like grimsby and lincolnshire, labourfor and lincolnshire, labour for decades, and lincolnshire, labourfor decades, until borisjohnson decades, until boris johnson wooed decades, until borisjohnson wooed this town to turn tory. he won't get my vote again, going conservative, as a working family, we thought it would be in ourfavour. the would be in our favour. the weather — would be in our favour. the weather has _ would be in our favour. iie: weather has behaved, would be in our favour. tie: weather has behaved, it is obvious we need to change to the other side, so it will definitely change my vote. everybody makes mistakes, it is not a _ everybody makes mistakes, it is not a big — everybody makes mistakes, it is not a big deal. i everybody makes mistakes, it is not a big deal.— not a big deal. i 'ust think it is cruel to hear_ not a big deal. ijust think it is cruel to hear about - not a big deal. ijust think it is cruel to hear about it, - not a big deal. ijust think it is cruel to hear about it, i l is cruel to hear about it, i really— is cruel to hear about it, i really do _ is cruel to hear about it, i really do i_ is cruel to hear about it, i really do. i think - is cruel to hear about it, i really do. i think it's - really do. i think it's disgusting. - really do. i think it's. disgusting. especially really do. i think it's - disgusting. especially when really do. i think it's _ disgusting. especially when you come _ disgusting. especially when you come to— disgusting. especially when you come to a — disgusting. especially when you come to a town _ disgusting. especially when you come to a town like _ disgusting. especially when you come to a town like grimsby, . come to a town like grimsby, you know. _ come to a town like grimsby, you know. it— come to a town like grimsby, you know, it has— come to a town like grimsby, you know, it has been- come to a town like grimsby, you know, it has been tough. come to a town like grimsby, . you know, it has been tough. it has been — you know, it has been tough. it has been really— you know, it has been tough. it

ruling, but he respected the court's decision. we will have lots more on that in the coming hours on bbc. stay with the channel, thanks for watching. hello there. a bit like it was last week — this week will be a quiet one, high pressure never too far away. and that means a lot of dry weather. indeed, some parts of the midlands, eastern england could be completely dry this week. there's going to be quite cold, not so much during the day, but i think overnight, we will find some frost. and, with clearer skies developing at the moment, we start monday with a frost, particularly across england, wales, and also northern ireland. some patches of mist and fog around by the morning, mainly across parts of wales and the west country. those should fairly quickly lift, and there's going to be a lot of sunshine around for most of us and light winds, too. the winds won't be as strong as they were on sunday in northern scotland — should be dry here, but there will be a lot of cloud. and we're sitting at temperatures of 8—9 celsius, which isn't bad,

really, for this time of the year. now i mentioned high pressure, there it is on monday — as we head into tuesday with these weather fronts are poking in from the northwest. but underneath the centre of the high, with those clearer skies and light winds, we'll start with more fog on tuesday, particularly across parts of the midlands, east anglia, and the southeast and, whilst it lifts, it could stay a bit grey all day. some sunshine around, but more cloud coming in on tuesday, and those weak weather fronts bring in some rain across northern ireland, eventually into western parts of scotland, but lifting temperatures perhaps into double figures. likely to be a colder day, though, for england and wales, especially where it stays grey and misty. those weather fronts continue to move down from the northwest with a stronger wind, as well, but those weather fronts are weakening all the while. so there's not much rain away from northwestern parts of the uk. more cloud, a bit of patchy light rain or drizzle to clear from england and wales. then sunshine follows from the north, strengthening those northwesterly winds — and it's getting colder, as well, hence those wintry showers in the far north of scotland. could make double figures still in the far southwest of

england. now i mentioned high pressure will dominate over the week ahead, and another one is coming in later in the week. but, for a while, it's going to be centred to the west of the uk — hence those colder northwesterly winds coming our way and dropping the temperatures overnight. so thursday, a more widespread frost. those are the temperatures in towns and cities. maybe a bit more cloud keeping temperatures up in northern ireland, and there'll be more cloud across northern scotland, a stronger wind here, maybe pushing 1—2 showers down some of those north sea coasts. but generally, thursday will be dry, and again, there'll be a lot of sunshine. a chilly wind, yes, and temperatures will be typically around 6—8 celsius.

this is bbc news, we will have the headlines and all the main news stories at the top of the hour, straight after this programme. when i was growing up my grandmother used to tell me that we lived here for ever. there is this collective consciousness and all of us thatis consciousness and all of us that is handed down from generation to generation. what you do to the land you do to yourselves, that's how i was raised. but since a
