steve pierce, who's in melbourne for us. hi steve. so the judge has now ordered a joke of it to be released. where is he now? well, he said, we understand that he's made his way to a residence where he was supposed to stay during the strategy and i put him in a whole different world before this. this license story was written which is turned into the most extraordinary saga, or as his great rivalry on the dial called it a complete circus, leading up to the australian open. no joke, which is you just showed the pictures that we believe that was him leaving is, is lawyers offices in the city of melbourne a couple of hours ago. and it's just extraordinary to see those, the fans, the support them. but it turning nasty in a little bit violent and police force to, to use purpose bright to disperse the crowd. you just think that it's where does this go next? and much of that now using 2 different coders,

which is either he goes ahead and place the strategy an open all there is a federal government intervention can't just know about what was behind the judges, overturning this decision to revoke job which is the it was more so yes, to me, it was on a, on a technicality, really around, it wasn't, it didn't really come down to the fact of whether i'm joking, which is his race and kind of an infection that he says. and he says he has proof of december, the 16th, allowing him to come into the country that really didn't get tested. the federal government is still adamant that he's not a way to get into the country. what deed come out of it is that the judge was extremely, am a expressive on the fact that and now that job, which had his his window of opportunity to make representation to australia, border force officials cattails in the sense and it just became 50 minutes shorter than should have been, they said until he had about 8 30 in the morning on that day that he was detained in effect. they actually tore up his laser at $742.00. so he had 50 minutes less

than he should have done to contact him as a strategy at his lawyer. waivery wanted to talk to, to get some advice to make further representations to try and maintain that 1st lease that he came in on which he is now back oregon, of course. so that was on those grounds. and the government officials seem to agree with the fact that that was, i mean, they haven't said as much, but they didn't challenge it. that there was a failure of few of proper process. but what still sits with the minister for immigration and citizenship? alex, hold ease the potential that he can in the coming days at any point revoke that these are on the basis that they still maintain. that recent code infection is, is not sufficient to gain quarantine free entry through a strider. and how likely is that to happen, steve? it's, it's so hard to tell the federal government the word that's coming out the federal government this evening is very much

a pro says process that is ongoing. it's under consideration and the federal government has been so strong through the prime ministers. got morrison through any number of senior ministers in that government that no joke, which is the way that he's come in the way that medical exemption has been given, was not correct. and he shouldn't have been allowed to come into australia. so it will be a big back down on their part if they don't force the issue and, and revoke their visa. but that said, you've got the other, you could have you come when are the why? because now with the world attention on this to again, if this story even more legs and cancel it and throw the world number one out of the country. it's just, it's just the most bizarre circumstances for a man who courts control. so he never, jock of it, this is, this is got to be the best one yet. it's extraordinary. the situation could go either way. all right, steve pierce, a commentator for australian open radio. thanks so much for that update. if you

a military court and me and mar, has sentenced ousted leader on santucci to 4 more years in prison. she was convicted on several charges including possession of unlicensed walkie talkies. the conviction is just the latest chapter in a trial that critics say is politically motivated. last month, the pro democracy leader was convicted of incitement and breaking corona, virus rules. me and merged opposed lead remains and detention. confronted with a slew of charges that could see on some to cheat locked up for the rest of her life. the international community has denounced her jailing by me and mars military government, calling the legal campaign politically motivated to she was once seen as a beacon of human rights and a savior of me in march. democracy, thanks to her fight against the military that ruled me on more for decades. she became the country civilian leader in 2016. but her international reputation was left in tatters after the army suppressed. the countries were hinge of muslims by

thousands died and many more were displaced. known simply as the lady, she remains immensely popular with the countries buddha's majority. since the military puts their way to power, civil society, myanmar has been in disarray. clashes between the armed forces and militia groups have left scores dead and the regime has come down forcefully on widespread protests. the hunter has not relented. they are dead said on preventing sushi and her supporters from returning to power. we can speak now to journalists, shewn nang. she is a min martine leader for the news agency. reuters, thanks for joining us. if we look at this ruling here for years in prison, for possession of walkie talkies and a violation of corona measures. and critics say this has been completely politicized. how is the one to justifying the sentence?

to me. thank you for having me both. so i was the was, i was just, i was and i thought the police that the district and the truck will go and also for the, for the be the house and, you know, and when, and then they said this and this will be on another for another year. so other than that it has been it for years. and just last month she was so she's a tell for about the trial itself and the conditions under which it took place. so

this is a special one. if you don't, we don't have the put on a on the one hand and that the lawyer also has been issues that both up i didn't. so i don't see any of them because the audio security. so we only know the missing sosa and we have eternal june named speaking to us there. thank you very much. and we apologize for the quality of the line there now to some other stories making news around the world heavy rainfall and a swollen river in northern brazil paris states have left home their uninhabitable and some 500 families homeless. large areas of brazil have been lashed by heavy rains and recent weak leaders from the west african regional block eco was have

invasion of ukraine. moscow says it feel threatened by us and nato expansion. both sides have played down hopes of a breakthrough. us president joe biden on the phone with moscow in december, on a business like call that was meant to ratchet down tensions over ukraine. the u. s . has threatened severe economic sanctions if russia invades an advisor to russian president vladimir putin pushed back after the call that i need to sanctions would be a colossal mistake. that would entail grave consequences. a lot of mistakes have been made over the past 30 years. and we had better avoid more such mistakes in this situation. after we need it. russia is already under sanctions for its 2014 annexation of the crimean peninsula. weeks afterwards, pro russian groups these parts of the desk and the hands,

the regions on ukraine's eastern frontier. near the russian border. the government launched the military operation and the long war began in earnest. meanwhile, thousands died in shelling and firefights between separatists and government troops . russia has been widely suspected of financing and equipping the separatists in early 2015, as the casualties mounted, the parties agreed to a cease fire in talk sponsored by germany and france, the war slipped from the world's attention, even though the cease fire was frequently violated over the years in september 2019 russia and ukraine exchanged prisoners, the un said the death toll from 5 years of fighting was as high as 13000 with another 30000 wounded. in june 2021, putin wrote an article, claiming that russians and ukrainians were one people who shared

a single historic and spiritual space. what has been happening is this people and the russian nation has been designated as an outsider on historically russian territory. last year the russian nation is being pushed out of those territories. this is what's happening neutral when you, me talk sure. with the us and nato saying they won't intervene militarily. russia seems to hold most of the cards over its weaker neighbor and our brussels bureau chief, alexander phenomena. following these talks for us in geneva, alex, randa, it's good to see you. so what expectations do the us and russia have a going into this meeting? all the talks are under way right behind me in the u. s. mission to geneva, and we have to say that we have to lower our expectations. the biden administration has said that there are not expecting any breakthroughs with you as secretary of

state blinking, describing the russians security proposals as a list of absolutely non starter demands. they are saying that what is happening today is just an opportunity to present to positions not to resolve them . and what we are hearing from the russian delegation doesn't sound very optimistic either with the had of the russian delegation with coffee saying that he is disappointed with regards to the signals that were coming out a hat of the meeting. and the key question here, at least for the west, is whether russia entering those talks in good faith, or whether they are just looking for a chance to walk away from their negotiating table, creating a pretext for another incursion into ukraine. or these are talks about ukraine and

they're taking place between us and russian diplomats at why aren't the ukrainians themselves at the table while the ukrainians are not at the tables. neither are representatives of the european union. and critics said that to the kremlin, that wanted to have those bilateral talks with the, the u, as is trying to divide the u as from its allies. however, washington is saying they're going to discuss just by electoral issues today in geneva with when be sherman the hat of the you as delegation here saying that nothing will be discussed about the european security without the u. s. allies. however, there has been a lot of criticism, and we also have to add that a representative of the ukrainian government is today in brussels to hold talks with nato in a clear signal that ne, till is

a supporting ukraine. at the same time, russian troops have been deployed to kazakhstan in the past week to help put down protest there. what impact of any is that having on the talks this week? well, i think that it could have an impact, even though we of course, have to stress that the situation in kazakhstan doesn't have anything to do directly with ukraine or with the threat that the russian troops of the ukraine border are posing to ukraine. but some critics are saying that the fact that there are now russian troops in kazakhstan, even though they are invited upon the request of the covers them. government is just yet another example of how russia is trying to extend its footprint and its influence. in former soviet republics, now independent states and in the region that russia regards as us here of its influence. alexander phenomena reporting from geneva,

they realized what was happening, fixed smoke made corridors and stairwells impossible trapped residence screamed for help from the windows. i think it started in a malfunctioning electric space heater. that was the cause of the fire. the fire consume that apartment, that is on 2 floors. and part of the hallway, the door to that apartment. unfortunately, one, the residence left was left open. it did not close by itself, the smoke spread throughout the building, thus, the tremendous loss of life around $200.00 fire fighters responded, entering the building with breathing apparatus. they reported finding victims suffering, severe, smoke, inhalation and cardiac arrest. in stairwells on every floor. the mayor said it was one of the worst fires, new york has seen in modern times. this is

hi. steven stealers remake of west side story picked up the bang for best musical or comedy. the ceremony was how behind closed doors on the scandal of our lack of diversity and transparency. let's get more on this. what's got rocks borrow from d w culture now. hi scott is great to see you. we mentioned there. this was a very different look for the golden globes. tell us more about why that was. yes, you're right. i mean, the gloves traditionally are almost the biggest party in hollywood just after the oscars. and where you custom to seeing, you know, these red carpets packed with stars and everyone having a great time getting a little bit drunk in the sort of more relaxed version of these awards shows that the golds is sort of built their, their, their brand on this year was utterly different. it was be the award ceremony behind

closed doors, 0 stars, no red carpet. and all the worth announced with very little fanfare on social media . i'm and it goes to what you were mentioning, the series of scandals that has plagued on the hollywood foreign press association, which is the group that boats on the golden globes. they've been accused of corruption and of incredible lack of diversity just 12 months ago. the foreign press, so see ation had 0 a black members. and so those, the series of scandals have basically led hollywood to turn its back on the gloves of the stars pulled out its television broadcaster dropped it. um and i think this sort of more strict back version of the golden globes is a bit the attempt by the hollywood foreign press association to serve pay pennants for its sins and to try and convince hollywood that its learned its lesson and to sort of welcome it back into the fold again. oh for talk about the awards. nicole kidman one a best actress for her performance in being the ricardo's at how did that go down

and tell us more about who else one bag yet to call him and one of for playing a lucille ball, a collision. comedian. i'm in a being the car is a film being ricardo's. this role was written that was in keeping with the globes tradition of often valuing star power over performance. when it comes to some of the other winners, a one, a performer who had both star power and performance, was a will smith who won best actor for his role in king richard, where he plays the father of kind of stars, venus, and serena williams, that was a very popular choice, i think. and as was the best drama kilmer for the western power, the dog fun, jane campion, who also won a best director. that's a film everyone seems to love and i think could do very very well. i'm at the oscars are coming up of traditionally, the globes are seen as a precursor for the oscars. i'm winning a globe as seen as a, as a, as

a boost to your oscar campaign. but this year, given the sort of reputation of the tarnish reputation of the golden globes. i'm not really sure that's going to be the case this time around. and so what do you think is the future of the golden globes? yeah, that's a really big question. i mean, the hollywood foreign press association has made big efforts to, to change the way they do business. they've tried to diversify their, their voter base. they've tried to make changes to and be more transparent. and it's a big question. no other, whether hollywood will accept it, and it looks this year as if everyone's pulled out the, the stars of turn their back on on, on the globe. we saw that virtually none of the winners this year, even acknowledged. the golden globes of the hollywood foreign press association. you can tweeting. oh, thank you for getting an award that never used to happen. um, so we'll have to see. i mean, next year the globes are supposed to be celebrating their 80th anniversary and but given how things are going and given how far their reputation has fallen, i be surprised if they even really survive that long. scott roxborough from the w
