hello, and welcome to newswatch with me, samira ahmed. on tuesday? and could the coverage of the tennis star have discouraged some people from taking a covid vaccine? the first clue that bbc news thought it had something big to share with the world came with a tweet on monday evening from amol rajan promising a... from the following morning, amol rajan�*s interview with novak djokovic was played out extensively on multiple bbc outlets, including a hastily scheduled half—hour special that evening on bbc one. and the subject occupied the first ten minutes of the news at one. are you prepared to forgo the chance to be the greatest player that ever picked up a racket statistically because you feel so strongly about this jab? yes. i do. why, novak, why?
