which will start to i will start to hear the arguments from both sides. so it's very much, i'm moving story and you want you to imagine we'll come to a combination. i did this weekend. yeah, there have been a lot of twists and turns to the story, steve, i mean, what do you imagine could happen next? i mean, could not actual, could it be forced to leave the country? yes, he could. he absolutely could. or, of course, the opposite could happen, which is that he wins his case again against the federal government. he takes his place in the draw on monday. so it's a, it's absolutely vastly contrasting outcomes that could be. it could be winging his way back to monte carlo. all in fact, you could stay in melbourne for the next 2 weeks and possibly when attends australian open. as i say, it really that will start to become much clearer in the next day or so. you dimensional, maybe there's even a decision tonight. we remembered judge anthony kelly on, on monday, suddenly made a decision really before the government that even started its argument. so this direction here, it will be interesting. i'll be surprised if it's resolved tonight. but i do have to say, you know, not a legal expert, but more of a tennis comments,

i just thought i really want to pre judge what might happen in these court proceedings. and stevie said that joke of it, his team is always indicated they would appeal just quickly. have we heard an official reaction from his cam? no, not an official reaction. not that i have say, not that i'm aware of. know, apart from to say that there will be a directions hearing this evening so, but that won't be an official reaction that will be more some legal arguments. i will wait and see if anything comes out instagram or, or some sort of comment from, from that team, but nothing to this point in the public domain. anyway, it's tennis commentator, steve pierce, speaking to us there from melbourne. thank you for that update. pleasure. now germany has joined the list of countries reporting on the kron as the dominant corona virus variant. now, accounting for more than 70 percent of all new cases. that's according to the countries disease of prevention center, the robert cock institute. with such a rapid to spread trim and health minister car lauterbach is urging those who have

not yet been vaccinated to get their shots. quickly. germany saw a record number of new coven 19 cases on friday, with more than 92000 infections. experts, a measures like masks and distancing, have helped to contain the advance of oma kron but more might be required. and des, thomas sparrow is following this story for us. hi thomas. it's good to see you. so another day of a record infection numbers here in germany. tell us how the country's coping another day. so me another record of infections. in fact, the 3rd consecutive day in which germany registers are recorded infections a 7 day incidence rate also going up and federal states like bray men or right here . berlin, particularly affected by the army kron waive. in fact, the roberts cough institute, the countries public health institute has said that they actually expect a strong increase in the number of cases in the next few weeks. so this trend

likely to continue and with that was also lighted to continue concerns among people here in germany. also among politicians, when it comes to the possible impact of army cronan hospitalizations, also on testing capacities on labs. many of them, not all, but many certainly stressing that they either are or could soon be overwhelmed by the situation. and this is certainly something that is also affecting germans and new poll just now showing that a majority see it as a burden here. the whole corona virus situation, or in particular the current situation that marks a change with previous moods here in germany. so all in all a difficult situation. one that authority the following very closely to see is measures that have been put in place are enough to deal with this situation. yeah, that's the question thomas, do health officials believe that the measures that are in place right now are going to be enough totally slow this wave? well, we've seen many times before that officials oversee react to the numbers. so if the

numbers go up, they tend to tighten restrictions, as we've seen in the past. if the numbers go down, then restrictions are sometimes loosened, and in fact, new restrictions were only put in place. just recently, for example, when it comes to what measures people need to consider when they go to 2 restaurants or other public facilities as well. if you ask people whether they believe current measures are enough, you will see that between 40 and 45 percent of respondents according to different polls. believe that current measures are the correct ones or at least they're appropriate. that is an increase compared to previous polls. the rest of the people divided between those who believe that measures either go to faro don't go far enough, but it'll be interesting to see how officials react to this strong increase that is being predicted and where the further measures are implemented here in germany to deal in particular with the army corn variant of the corona virus. and thomas is in

a briefly, if you can. so what am i getting vaccination rates up? what is the government doing there? obviously one of the main, that's the, one of the main policies that the government has because the government has stressed on various occasions that that's the way out of the pandemic. and in fact, germany's vaccination numbers have not gone up the way the government would life to the government would like to certainly get more people vaccinated. and there's also big discussion here in the country up about a possible corona, virus vaccine mandate. so again, another big topic, one that authorities will be following very closely to see how that develops and what impact it also has here on the way the government deals with the pandemic in germany. d debbie's thomas for reporting for us there. thank you very much. let's take a look at some of the other latest developments in the pandemic. now. washington wants to double its purchase of cobit 19 rapid tests to 1000000000 out. the u. s. struggles with the on the chrome variant, spain will cap the cost of cove itself, testing antigen kits at just under $3.00 euros. the government is come under

increasing pressure over high prices. and developing countries turned down around 100000000. donated coven, 19 vaccine doses last month. the un says that was mainly due to the vaccines nearing their expiration date. and let's get our run of, of some other headlines now. north korea says it is fired to short range ballistic missiles into the sea. it's the country's 3rd missile task this month. john yang said it was exercising legitimate self defense after the usaa now, so it was imposing new sanctions. north korea's neighbors including japan, have condemned the latest missile tests. ukraine says a number of government websites have been targeted in a cyber attack. he says, no personal data was leaked so far. there has been no claim of responsibility. but the disruption does come at a time of heightened tensions with neighboring russia. the european union has condemned the cyber attack as well. just really and authorities or warning people

completely removed from official royal life, or to buckingham palace release the statement, stripping him of his military rolls and royal patronage is he had already personally resigned from public duties in 2020, many in london. welcome to move by the royal family. i think her dinner, if there's any kind of deal or there's any chance that he's done it, you know, maybe maybe as a good focus, remember to measure maria verbal from isn't defending him anymore. but his privacy and funding is on guys. mm side, which as reserves, but there's still a long legal battle ahead for andrew and his accuser, jeffrey, she says she was forced into sex with the royal by the late sex offender, jeffrey epstein. and his associate colleen maxwell, who was recently convicted of sex trafficking both were long time friends of the prince, who was always strenuously denied delegations. but with the long and embarrassing saga set become even more public andrews effective removal makes it clear that for
