i see no reason to negotiate with russia, the aggressive country with those people who fight against us. now, i can't see anything positive in this needed to put a table with them. as the russian build up of troops continues, it still looks like there's no real sign. a compromise can be reached. in earlier dw spoke to undress ross, a senior fellow at the german council on foreign relations, and he told us more about russia's fears of nato's eastward expansion. from time to discuss or understand the rational perspective, one needs to remember that ever since 2008 need to has a valid promise taking in georgia and ukraine on board. the board is clearly committed once georgia and you will be member of that lives. there is no deadline to death, but the promise is still down and the promises that it and russia keeps considering

title defense was due to begin novick, jock of it's trained on center court, still waiting for the australian government's decision. it came late in the day in australia and landed with seismic impact. this trailing minister for immigration, alex hawk cancelled mister joker. bitches visa on health and good order grounds. and on the basis he concluded it was in the public interest to do so. it's now unclear whether this was no vac joker, which is last appearance on st. a. court in melbourne this year. that will be established when an appeal against his 2nd visa cancellation lands back in the legal court on sunday. however, the judge and respective lawyers interpret the use of legal language in melbourne on the streets of belgrade. the people's judgment is clear. that of all did on. i'm disgusted. so i'm angry because i did not expect that they would treat the best tennis player like this. i think he did not deserve this the near the forger talk

on it. oh the serbs, australia. no longer exists if you have a cousin or a brother that you should just forget about them. and so a drama for the ages continues in melbourne. the final chapter of a legal fight that may shape sporting history. let's bring in steve peers. he's been covering the australian open for more than a decade, and he joins us now from melbourne. steve, a lot of back and forth in this tennis drama a where do things stand now? claire it's, it's fascinating. it's one i just moved to a whole different realm. and here we are again with joking, which i'm being interviewed this morning as we just heard that. and then he'll face a brief directional procedural hearing. we're expecting a full hearing of the federal court for tomorrow sunday, australia time, which will ultimately decide his fight. but what's interesting also here is from

what we heard from the brief court hearing loss. no, it is that the government appears to change tack and not be pressing any further on the medical exemption side of what its original problem with showing up in australia is in a more focusing on again what we just had around that an antique vaccination sentiment and the fact that he's continued presence in the country couldn't site. so the demonstrations all energized that and see vaccination part of the community, which in turn the government says could cause a serious health concerns from, from people then continuing to to not backs of night. it's a, it's a really fascinating change whether they'll be more that comes out in a full hearing and they'll be other matters as well. but certainly that was the focus last night. so joke of it and a brief federal court hearing this morning. and then we understand, he'll be in detention in some form or another until that somebody hear you mention

those demonstrations. are they representative of the national sentiment in general? what are australians making of this case? it's paul or us in class to say the least it's, it's, you know, everyone seems to come down one side. you know, the, i'd say more people are on the and see no back side. the more on the pro nova excited to say that this would probably be vastly different if this would roger federal ref on the job would be an understatement. brokovich has never been a hugely popular figure down here. and that is, of course, one of these problems around the world is that he's, he's number 3 in that picking order. but you get the sense that most people are of the view that why are the rooms different to him and outside of the actual detail of you know that contraindications around whether joker beach can have the, the job or no. and most people here of course have had the job is very high vaccination, right. and then not really understanding why they seem to be different rules for

jock of ich, as opposed to everyone else. so that's kind of the, the broader view, but exactly what the judge decides is of course what's going to be very important critical in this case. steve peers joining us from melbourne. thank you so much for that update. pleasure. and time for more news from the world of sports with a barissi adored man kicking off buddhist league, unmatched a 19 with what looked like a tough game against visitors, fryeburg. but a document made a light work of the leaves joint best defense to put themselves just 3 points behind liters byron, who play in cologne on saturday. dormant coach marco rosa was greeted with open arms by fryeburg counterpart christian strike ahead of this one. but even rosa would have been shocked at the visitor's 1st half charity to mom in years. simple header from julian brown's corner broke the deadlock. on 14 minutes. the same combination repeated the trick. 15 minutes later,
