. also coming up on the show germany, titans, it's corona, virus rules in a bid to curb rising, omicron infections in many regions. the double vaccinated now also need either a booster shot or a negative test to enter bars and restaurants and in buddhist legal football. 2 of the seasons, surprise packages went head to head on saturday. quit when on berlin, taking down hope in hind close encounter. ah. hello, i'm claire richardson, a very warm welcome to the shout. after more than a week of twists and turns, a court in australia is due to decide whether to to court tennis, star novak joke of ash, joke of edge has left his immigration detention hotel for his lawyers offices to take part in the online hearing, which is now underway in a tenant de saga,

the serbian champion has been detained by immigration authorities, released and then detained again, due to questions about whether his entry into australia met cove at 19 requirements . joke of is seeking his record, a 21st major title at the australian open. mr alia has some of the world, toughest cove at 19 entry restrictions for get across to melbourne and speak with steve appears, who has been covering the australian open for more than a decade of wood, i'm guessing, has never seen anything like this before. hi steve. thanks for joining us on the show again. what are we expecting to see in court today? a clay good morning. well, i mean, a beautiful sunday morning and mel when the day before yesterday and i can and all eyes of the tennis world are in a court room. it is quite remarkable. and what we're going to see today is probably some quite lengthy and fleshed out arguments based around some of the theories and

assertions yesterday from the minister around how jokers which is public, if you like, and quite open and positive stance on antibiotics and nation especially around this kind of 19, how that would play out in australia were he allowed to stay now that the, the, the way the minister has a case this, this, against your coverage is really that the onus is all on your commission to prove otherwise. so one of the points of contention is that i'm jockey, which is team says that the minister hasn't considered really the bi deporting novak joke of it or allowing him to stay in the country. both could have a very, very similar effect on the anti vaccination movement. if you like in australia, but the ministers, legal team is quite fervent in the fact that the youngest doesn't fall. busy on them to have to prove that younger schools on jock image to prove otherwise. one interesting part of this claire, as well as we work our way through those arguments which will become clear as the day pans out, is that this is being held before

a full federal court. and the decision was made not to hold it in front of just a single judge, and that means that there's no appeal from either side. once there is a decision that's interesting, then at the court seems to be considering as the main point of argument, whether his deportation would it be considered to be something that could further radicalize anti access or whether it would be something that would be seen as an aside from australia that they are not interested in, that kind of attitude in the country. i also want to know if there's going to be a decision about whether he did in fact enter the country legally because there were some open questions regarding the countries he visited before reaching australia and also at the test results that he submitted as part of his immigration entree. yeah, it's unclear if those are going to come up in court at this point. certainly as a main part of the argument would be good to have those are answered unofficially we have heard that those mistakes, if you like, on the entry for a not forming part of any case that the government may have against your cabbage in,

in this situation. it's almost like a part, everything that happened to do with his contraindication to, to coven 19. and he travel beforehand, and they sort of moved away from that and settled on a different argument, but just the presence of no joke image. and by allowing him to stay in the country when he's openly not vaccinated and openly, as you just said, and has, has a, a laissez faire attitude, if you like. this is the government's case towards kind of 19 and, and isolating, wearing masks, et cetera, et cetera. that this is the main crux of their case and each and the and everything falls on jock a bench to prove otherwise. under the personal powers of the minister. it's a, it's a really intriguing and court case. and one that you would hope would be resolved today. and steve, i just want to jump in because the australian open is starting on monday in melbourne. angelica, which is meant to play on opening day, and that's now a day away. what happens if he can't play while there's

a couple of different scenarios? one, if he, if, if, if there's a decision today, then under a group plan who's the 5th said would, would move up and take that position in the draw. and then everyone would just shunt up. so the 33rd rank play would become a seat. and every move just would move up and shuffle into those places. and if job, if the decision goes on, passed to die and joking, which is still not allowed to play in the stallion open, then a lucky loser. as in the next ranked person to come out of the qualifying torment, who didn't make it, would just shunt into the draw. and then of course there's a 3rd scenario where they were joking, which wins is casen, takes the court to morrow. i wait and see if there's a melbourne, thanks. as always for joining us on the show. pleasure class and germany has tightened its corona virus restrictions in response to a record number of new coven 19 cases. new rules for entering bars and restaurants have come into force in many parts of the country and micron. now accounts for over
