oh pete wolf this week on d w ha ah ah ah ah, this is dw news live from berlin. novak joke of edge winds, the 1st round of escort battle to stay and contest the australian open.

who lease use force to disperse crowds of supporters gathering? to celebrate a court decision to release the tennis start from detention. but it's not a game that and match yet. also coming up a military court hands down or new jail sentence to on, on to cheat me in mars. ausa leader gets 4 more years in prison after being felt guilty on criminal charges. critical talks between the us and russia are underway on ukraine. we take a look at the situation along russia border and y relations have deteriorated. plus and brooding western and revamped west side story take top prices that this year has golden globes. but with the awards ceremony demoted to a blog, had the clothes lost their glamour. ah,

ah, i'm so he said was gonna glad you can join us tennis star novak ciocca vetch has been released from immigration detention in australia after a judge overturned the government's decision to cancel his visa over corona virus rules. australian open organizers had granted him a medical exemption from vaccination, but the government disagreed only for a judge to side with the serbian jubilant supporters have been celebrating, but the saga isn't over yet. the government is now considering whether to cancel joke, which is visa on different grounds. oh, they were so happy that their hero is free from now. they moped any com, even if they couldn't be 100 percent. sure, no joke of h was inside. outside his lawyers office, they celebrated into the night. some were pepper sprayed in the chaos. oh, side courts to joke of ici support is chia the decision to overturn his visa being

canceled? oh, you've been with the judge ordered joke of it. she's released from immigration detention calling the australian government's decision unreasonable. he ruled the joke of it hadn't been given enough time to respond to that decision. the serbian had arrived in australia, believing he had a medical exemption to rules requiring a corona, virus vaccine. this it emerged was due to a coven 19 infection on december, the 16th. but the australian government argued that exemption didn't apply to people entering the country from overseas. that contradicted what jacobite should been told by tennis australia, the tournament organizes. i'm not gonna blame any one. the conflicting information

and the contract information that you receive is because of the changing environment. we are in a very challenging one for everyone has been involved in this process. but the saga is not over yet. the australian government can still use its powers to cancel joker, which is visa on the grounds of public health. here to show its rules, apply to everyone, no matter their status rules ah, rules. and there are no special cases. winning on court is 2nd nature to joke of h winning in court, however, is proving a lot harder let's get some more perspective on the story. now with lackland carr, he's a lawyer in melbourne and he's been following this case very closely. lackland, thanks for joining us. so what did the judge base his ruling on? yes, well, he is on a judge. kelly quashed the decision of the minister for the delegate of the stuff

to cancel mr. brokovich his visa and his order to caution that decision. he made a few notes notes at lee in the notes. he said that it was unreasonable for the delegate to care for mr. john, which is the, the, in the circumstances in which they did. and it came down to timing. so at about $520.00 in melbourne time mr. dock was told that the delegate was considering canceling his visa and that he would have until 8 30 am to make comments to the delegate. just 34 minutes later at 614. miss joker, which was asked for his comments, he expected to have until 8 30 am to provide those. but he was told to give them. and by 7 42 am the delegate had decided to cancel the things up. so i know that didn't get until 830 to give his conference. he didn't even get until 830 to have

the decision that was made well and truly by then and his own. and that was a reasonable. okay, so he wasn't given enough time, according to the judge, but you know, this is not over because the immigration minister technically still has the power to remove novak joke of it from australia. could we really see that happen? that's correct. yes, we could. today in court, it was mr. joke, bitch and the minister behind the fair. but the minister for immigration, who was a completely different minister and was not part of today's case, does still have some power to cancel mr. jock mitch's visa, and it's not a free for all. there are parameters that limit that power and it cannot be done in particular circumstances. but it remains to be seen whether or not does apply here . it would seem on the face of it, that is an option for the minister for immigration, whether or not he goes ahead with it or not is of course another question. we heard

that the australian government is really keen to show that its rules apply to everybody, but i think could other people actually use novak brokovich case as an example, as a model to enter australia without proof of vaccination. so these, this case, the 2nd sentence in which it has happened are very unique. as is true of most immigration cases. these did not turn on whether or not someone should be able to come to australia with a vaccination whole with an exemption, or without either of those 2 things. these tend, or was noted to attend to solely on the unreasonable mess of the decision. so what i would say is that the certainly hasn't changed the status quo, and it will not assist people in general to come to australia without a vaccination. it may assist people who find themselves in similar situations to that mr. dr. bench, if they had an unreasonable decision made old,

i found themselves in circumstances where it was unreasonable to have a decision made about then. then this case may assist, but otherwise i don't think it's going to have much of an impact on anyone other than mr. bitch will have to leave it there. lawyer lackland carr speaking to us. thanks so much for joining us. thank you. now, a military court in man, mar, has sentenced to oust a leader on san said she 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 is politically motivated. last month, the pro democracy leader was convicted of incitement and breaking corona virus roles. ah, me and mars deposed lead remains and attention confronted with a slew of charges that could see uncensored, she 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. sushi was one seen as a beacon of human rights and the savior of me and mars democracy. thanks to her fight against the military that ruled myanmar 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, a muslims by thousands died and many more were displaced. known simply as the lady, she remains immensely popular with the countries buddhist majority. since the military pushed their way to power civil society, me and more 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 now

to some other stories, making news around the world. a fire ravaged, a high rise bronx apartment building on sunday morning, killing 19 people including 9 children. the fire was spark by a malfunctioning space heater firefighters on victims on every floor. many in cardiac and respiratory arrest because of the volume of smoke. it's new york city's deadliest blaze in 3 decades. heavy rainfall and a swollen river in northern brazil's paris state have left homes there uninhabitable in some 500 families homeless. large areas of brazil have been lashed by heavy rains in recent weeks and is really prime minister enough tale. bennett says israel will not be bound by any nuclear deal with iran and will continue to consider itself free to act with no constraints against it's arch foe if necessary . indirect talks between iran and the u. s. on salvaging the 2015 iran nuclear deal resumed a week ago in vienna. look,

a week of diplomacy aimed at the escalating tensions over ukraine begins to day. representatives from bratia and the u. s. are sitting down together in geneva. tensions have been rising over russia's amassing of troops and tanks near its border with ukraine. the talks are expected to be difficult. western countries feared that the kremlin could be planning and invasion of ukraine. moscow says it feels 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. but i need to just 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. 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 put and wrote an article claiming that russians and ukrainians were one people who shared a single, historic and spiritual space and what has been happening is this legal 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, alexandre, it's good to see you. so what expectations do the us and russia have

a going into the 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 they are not expecting any breakthroughs with you as secretary of state blinking, describing the russian security proposals as a list of absolutely non starter demands. they are saying that what is happening today is just an opportunity to present 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. why aren't the ukrainians themselves at the table? well, 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 d. u, as is trying to divide the u as from its allies. however, washington is saying there are going to discuss just by a literal issues, a bed today in geneva with when be sherman, the hat of the you as delegation here is 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. it to hold talks with nato in a clear signal that nato is a supporting ukraine. at the same time, russian troops have been deployed to cause it's done 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 how russia is trying to extend its footprint and its influence in former soviet republics now independent fades and in the region that russia regards as us here of its influence. alexander phenomena reporting from geneva, they're good to talk to you. children and uganda. go back to school to day for the 1st time since march 2020. that's when rising cases of covet 19 caused the government to impose some of africa's toughest restrictions. but many students say they've lost faith in education and won't be returning. uganda's. government and global experts warn a whole generation could be about to lose out on their opportunity for education. repairing motorcycles, this is america, candace daily life. now. he was 14, when his school closed due to the pandemic. after nearly 2 years, they're finally opening again. but he's not going back. we allows that

a bigger impact. a generation with a wide knowledge gum in china, authorities are aiming to test newly 14000000 people in the city of 10 gin. after 2 cases of the highly transmissible arm across variant were detected there. so far an additional 18 positive tasks have been reported in the northern port city. china has stepped up, it's 0 tolerance strategy in the run up to the winter olympics, which are due to begin invasion next month. the chinese capital just is just 100 kilometers north west of tianjin, in other regions of the country. cities have gone into full scale locked downs after larger outbreaks. and let's take a look at some other corona virus news from around the world. now, india has reported almost 880000 new covered 19 infections the most since late may. thousands of people took part in demonstrations against corona virus

restrictions on sunday in belgium, and the czech republic. in israel, more than 250000 people have received a 4th dose of the vaccine. and all travellers to greece are now required to present a negative test result upon entry despite being vaccinated. now it is traditionally one of the hollow holy woods biggest parties, but the golden globe took place on sundays on televised, and largely ignored by stories of the silver screen. winners were announced on a live blog. jane campion became only the 2nd female director to win the best drama price with her dark western power of the dog. a steven spielberg's remake of west side story picked up the gong for best musical or comedy. the ceremony was held behind closed doors, falling a scandal over lack of diversity and transparency. let's

get more on this. what's got roxborough from dw culture now. hi scott. it's 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 reg carpets packed with stars and everyone having a great time getting a little bit drunk in the sort of more relax version of these award shows that the goal to sort of build their, their, their brand on this year was utterly different. it was be the awards ceremony behind closed doors, 0 stars, no red carpet. and all the worth announced with very little fanfare on social media . 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 form

presentation 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 at um, and i think this sort of more strict back version of the golden globes is a bit the attempt by the hold foreign press association to serve, pay penance 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, if we 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 in one of 4, playing a lucille ball, a telephone comedian um in being the carters. the film being ricardo's, this role was written that was sort of mixed response by critics. so it was

a bit of a bit of surprise that she won the was in keeping with the globes tradition of often valuing star power over performance. when it comes to some of the other winners are 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 kenneth starr's venus and serena williams. that was a very popular choice. i think i'm, as was the best drama filming for the western power, the dog from jane campion, who also won a best director. that's a film that everyone seems to love and i think could do very, very well. i'm at the oscars are coming up. traditionally, the globes are seen as a precursor for the oscars and windy globe is seen as a, as a, as a boost to your auster campaign. but this year, given the sort of reputation of the tarnish reputation of the gold gloves, i'm not really sure that's going to be the case this time around and got what you think is the future of the golden gloves. yeah, that's a really big question. i mean,

the whole with 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 though, of whether hollywood will accept that, 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 out. thank you for getting an award that never used to happen. 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 racks borrow from the w culture. thank you. and let's get a reminder of our top stories on dw for you. i'll certainly and police have use tear gas to disperse crowds to gather it after a melbourne poor to quash the australian government decision to cancel novak ciocca
