of uncertainty and controversy surrounding the serbian tennis stars. coven 19 status. also on the program on the kron becomes the dominant corona virus variant. here in germany, the public health institute says the past spreading variant now accounts for almost 3 quarters of cases as new infection numbers continue to rise and 34 victims. it's 34 celia i'm future of a german court census syrian colonel to prison for life. for crimes against humanity, victims and their families take comfort in the landmark verdict. ah . hello, i'm terry martin. good to have you with us tennis star, novak chalk, a bench is facing deportation after the australian government canceled his visa for

a 2nd time. the decision comes after days of uncertainty and controversy surrounding the world. number one's coven 19 status, and the information he provided. when entering australia, the australian immigration minister said he'd revoke the bees on grounds of public interest. this all comes just days before jock of it was due to start his defense of his australian open title. or for more on this developing story, we are joined by tennis commentator, steve pierce in melbourne, state novak joke ventures, visa has been canceled a 2nd time. is this now finally, game over for a joke of it in australia? you know, i don't think so. no, i mean i think what we have to what we have to accept in this and you know, this has been a much of the story during the week. is that in many respects, yoga which is legal team will have been expecting this. i might have been hoping that it wasn't coming, but they will certainly have had

a plan in place that if the minister alex decided to move and re cancel that job, which is visa that they would put in a legal challenge. that the indication that they've given leading up to this and the indication as we speak this evening is that they will push hard for an expedited court hearing and try to get a resolution to this by sunday evening because sunday evening, australia time that he's because of course he's trying to and i can start on monday, so it would be almost untenable, although the previous judges, the kelly said the tile will not wake the dog, but it will be almost untenable for a cold case to drag on into the actual torment itself. and leave no joke, which not knowing whether he's going to play or not. so if the challenge goes ahead, the legal challenge to this latest decision, you would imagine it will be resolved by the end of the weekend. but let's get the straight jacket, which is visa has been revoked twice now. is he not obliged to leave the country? no, he still has a legal recourse to appeal this like his decision. so the 1st decision was supposed

thrown out if you like, on a matter of procedural procedural fairness. so none of the masses that the federal government originally canceled his visa full were tested in the federal circuit court. and the judge entity. kelly said at the time that it was really that he made that decision to free, especially effectively free direct. your commission reinstate is based on the grounds of that timeline that he was given until 8 30 in the morning to make those representations and phone calls. and yet his visa was cancelled at 742. so this time you would imagine that the real, i suppose, the real reasons if you like or denying jock a bit entry into the country will be tested and there will be assuming there is a challenge. then we'll say the legal arguments for both sides. because you say the chocolate is team was anticipating this and that they're preparing to challenge it legally. have they made the statement since the immigration minister of decision came out? non public statement now, you know,

relatively recent decision and we're, we're still waiting to hear a public state in the low the, the law is themselves. haven't made a lot of public statements they've, they've sort of leaked bits of information out along the way. and then let the rest come out in court documents. so you'd imagine that over the next few hours we will find out with another job that she's team is going to challenge this. because if they not, of course, he will leave the country, you would imagine almost immediately. but just looking at the way that he's approached this week and knowing that there was this threat hanging over him. most people are imagining, and the legal team has indicated that they will be in to say thank you so much for keeping us up to date on this. that's tennis commentator, steve pierce in melbourne. germany has joined the list of countries reporting alma crohn as the dominant corona virus variant. now accounting for over 70 percent of all new cases. that's according to the countries disease prevention center, the whole but call institute. with such a rapid spread,

german health minister car lauterbach is urging those not yet vaccinated to get the jap, germany saw record number of new code 19 cases on friday with more than 92000 infections . experts say measures such as masks and distancing, have helped to contain the advance of all micron, but more may be required. more on this, i'm joy now by our political correspondent, thomas sparrow. thomas, we're seeing a record number of infections here in germany driven by the army, chrome variant of corona virus. how is the country coping? it's in fact terry, the 3rd consecutive day that germany registers record in the number of infections you mentioned already 90000 over 90000 new cases in the last 24 hours. and that trend is likely to continue the robert cough institute. the country's public health institute has said that they expect

a strong increase in the number of cases driven by the army kron variant in the next few weeks. and as you can imagine, this is a scenario that is causing a lot of concern, not only among citizens. in fact, a new poll revealed that a majority of germans are really tired with the whole situation. also concerned about the whole situation, but also among authorities that are trying to identify what the best measures could be. there have also been reports here in germany about lab labs and test centers being overwhelmed. not all labs and test centers are overwhelmed. in fact, yesterday, we were reporting here in berlin and we went to various testing centers. but there are concerns that if the numbers continue to rise, this could affect germany's overall corona virus strategy. under such officials are looking very carefully at how these numbers develop in the next few days and weeks . the german government thomas is pushing for mandatory vaccination. it's

a highly controversial move. how likely is it that germany will actually introduce vaccine monday? experts do say that it is highly likely that that measure will be approved. it's important terry to stress that that is a measure that will be decided ultimately by m. p. 's here in the buddhist stocks in the german parliament, not by the government as such. so it will be interesting to see how that debate develops in the german parliament. if you judge the public mood on this, a majority of germans certainly favor now mandatory vaccinations yet. it's interesting to also point out that this is a change compared to the public mood a few months ago. if you looked at the public mood a few months ago, you would have noticed that a majority of germans were actually against mandatory vaccinations. the change has to do with this very delicate situation and with the fact that many people understand that vaccinations are the way out of the pandemic. and that's also by

the way, the reason why many in the german government and also many m p 's favor. now, mandatory vaccinations to deal with the corona virus pandemic. i was thank you so much. that was our political gorgeous bonnet, thomas sparrow. here some of the other developments in the corona virus pandemic world wide washington wanted to double its purchase of covered 19 rapid tests to 1000000000. as the euro struggles with the arm across variant, spain will cap the cost of copays self testing entered in kits at just under $3.00 euros. the government has come under increasing pressure over high prices. and poor countries turned down around a $100000000.00 donated cobra 19 vaccine doses last month. the un sir, that was mainly due to the vaccines nearing their expiration date. sketch up on some other stories making headlines around the world to day. teachers in france have gone on strike over what they say is the unmanageable burden of dealing with
