his lawyers said they would challenge the decision by the australian border force.ark lobel has the latest. the tennis men's world number one was defending his title before —— after being in fit. federal authorities noticed a mistake with his application. the serbian tennis star was quizzed in the room at melbourne airport for more than seven hours while his visa and exemption status was being investigated. he is now facing the prospect of boarding a plane and leaving australia. mr plane and leaving australia. m djokovic failed to provide appropriate evidence to meet the entry requirements to australia and visa has been subsequently cancelled. whether he wishes to appeal that, if a visa is cancelled, someone has to leave the country.- to leave the country. reacting to leave the country. reacting to the news. _ to leave the country. reacting to the news, australia's - to leave the country. reacting i to the news, australia's prime minister tweeted. .. there's still mystery about what had originally been agreed after the tennis star said he'd been granted exemption pe

so when the federal border force officials applied their own test to these exemptions once he arrivede. a, he did not have enough documentation to prove he had a covid infection but, separate to that, there was also a view that having covid in the past six months was not a sufficient reason to actually grant an exemption, even if the documentation did sufficed. that was such a thorough and clear explanation. thank you so much. i think i have it now and i have all the details. away from the technicalities, politics and politicians, some have been accused in australia now of grandstanding and of using this for political motives. what you make of that? the reason that that view has leaked is because probably about ten hours before djokovic touched down, the victorian government officials announced that he had received an exemption from the victorian government and tennis australia to play in the tournament. the prime minister, the national prime minister, the national prime minister, the national prime minister scott morrison was asked in a press conference whether that exemption was val

this is how it is, and therefore the strategy border force as made the decision to cancel his visa and is aiming to deport him to die back to serbia. but there is more to play out potentially in the courts. i mean, there's been a lot of negative reaction and a lot of strong feelings in australia as well. since we've talked to look 24 hours ago. what are people saying now, what's the reaction now to this latest news? that pretty much flabbergasted. you know, everyone who didn't want to come anyway is just saying, well, that's right, you know, turn around, get them out of here. but i think overall, the sense is just that. how could it come to this? how could it be that the 2 processes that should be far more aligned and fast smoother. i mean, you've got a situation where you have state governments here in australia. this is the case and some of the countries around the world state governments are responsible for b and c, and then federal government's responsible for d and f, and the to just not meeting, not, not talking, not understanding the process, but you know, there's that. and so h

the australian border force is investigating whether he submitted a false travel declaration. on monday a judge overturned his visa cancellation. authorities revoked his visa when he arrived last week. the atp said the events leading up to djokovic's court hearing were damaging for his tournament preparation. here's how the premier of victoria views the situation. >> this tournament is much bigger than any one person. it's a grand slam, the biggest thing in tennis in the first quarter of the year, every year. it's a massive event for us and bigger than any one person, whether that be, you know, in the court, or on the court. >> cnn is covering the developments as we've been from day one. patrick snell is joining us from atlanta. phil let me start with you. the last few minutes we received information that the australian border force is investigating whether djokovic lied on his form. what can you tell us? >> reporter: the travel declaration form is a form that all passengers arriving online have to fill in here. it's used to assess an individual's covid risk. we now know that

before that he will be taken into some form of detention by australian border force officials. 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 of all did, and i'm disgusted and 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, he serves australia no longer exists. if you have a cousin or a river 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. no shortage of drama there. mark meadows formed it over your sport, sir, joins me to try and make sense of all this facing deportation. were you surprised that the australian authorities decided for a 2nd time running he's got to go? no, i wasn't surprised mainly because they'd already tried. i mean, originally they tried because he said he had a, an exemption from being vaccinated or to play in the tournament. but actually th

got to remember that the prime minister was the minister who actually founded the strategy in border force. so he knows how the board force works. we have that as a nation, had very strict international border restrictions. and there was a feeling, there was a whole dispute about the visiting english cricket, tame and the prime minister actually spoke to the british prime minister about trying to ensure that the english test cricket could be played in australia. but some of those british english players deemed it, they didn't want to come to australia. so while yes, the prime minister was came to had the english tourist here. he didn't want any one who was going to break the rules. i think he's come down on the side of the rules. very hard. he's obviously taking a political advantage. he's defending decision, but i'm not suggesting that he would have actually influenced the individual decision. all right, but is there any risk of a political and diplomatic spat with serbia over the decision? oh, well i think we've already got one of the president, serbia has made it clear that he feel set

but what they define was that the stadium border force officials at the time. and it said to no joke image at a certain time of the evening. you have until 830 this morning to, to basically make presentations and make representations as to why your visa shouldn't be canceled. and then for reasons that are not clear, and that these, that was then subsequently cancelled at $740.00 to say, nearly an hour earlier than the deadline that he being given, which as the judge said, prevented him from making and having conversations with other lawyers, tennis, australia, whoever else and enjoying government and then being able to make that of the presentation. so not g process wasn't followed. so on that grounds and the judge is effectively thrown out the case. and the government from that, from that perspective, the government's lawyers don't seem to challenge that. and so at this stage of a few hours ago, never juggling went for it. okay, so dr. lynch is off on a technicality. so it seems some, but his troubles may not be over yet. i understand that the immigration mini

he was in before he's having an interview with border force officials. that's what it's basically been been labeled as, but people will think, why is it got to this stage? you know, joke if it could have just got vaccinated and none of this would have happened, but he's completely against it. fair enough, others will say, why the experience even let him get on the plane to allow the saga to start in the way it has. what impact is all of this? you know, as talking about it being splashed on all these headlines. what impact is it have in on the tournament, one of the most prestigious tennis tournaments in the world is completely overshadowed. of course, you know, he's the defending champion, the 9 times champion. it's not the best preparation for him for his tournament. but if he wins his appeal, don't count him out because of the manny is, i think his former coach boris becker said it best. you know, if he wins this 2nd appeal boys because that the australian public will obviously not welcome him. he has to climb mount everest, but if anyone can do the im

they accepted his recommendations and paperwork what federal border force has said. he did not present enough evidence that he was either exempt from vaccination or had been for medical grounds or he had been vaccinated. so we've actually got the federal government calling the shots on entry to australia. and of course, while you know, the prime is, this is not political, it will have a political impact, and i think it will be despite the disruption the strain open. i generally popular decision by the commonwealth government not to bend the rules for sportsmen. nations across the world are implementing strategies to deal with the on the chronic variance of the corona virus. many a seeking to find a fine balance between curbing it spread without imposing overly excessive restrictions. in the us, the white house is urging states to find ways to keep schools open despite record case numbers. at the same time, the president's top medical adviser has told people to continue taking precautions . the big caveat is we should not be complacent. since the increase transmit civ

suddenly it was decided that the federal government and border force would start enforcing what theyd was their control of sovereign territory. hence we had novak djokovic and a handful of other people associated with the tennis open coming in with exemptions from the victorian government, which were then not recognized by border force at the immigration point at the airport. >> putting your sporting hat back on, what about going forward for djokovic? the french open says he can play there. but in march, the atp tour moves to events in the u.s., which now requires visitors to be fully vaccinated. what's he going to do then? >> well, i guess people often hope that there will be exemptions in place, and it's interesting you mentioned the french open, where the sports minister there said he would be given an exemption. that in itself could be seen as politics because we know at the moment the geopolitical situation, the relationship between australia and france is not good with australia canceling an order for submarines from the french government. and so the french were very quick in c

but it was the border force officers at the border who met him, interrogated him and decided no, that wasn't going to cut it. that is when he first went into immigration detention and led to his challenge in court where the court found in his favor on a technicality. they essentially said the border officer didn't treat him fairly and consult his lawyers and get extra opinion before they did move to cancel his visa. he's clearly been showing great determination through all of this. he's taken every legal option available to him, and it's really come down to the wire because as recently as this afternoon melbourne time the australian open scheduled its order of play for the open tomorrow and he was scheduled for a match tomorrow evening. they're now going to have to redo, reshuffle in some way to compensate for the fact based upon this court decision, unanimous ruling by three judges novack djokovic will not be allowed -- he's not going to be allow to be free here in australia on this visit. he's going to remain in detention until he is deported, michael. >> is it fair to say this whol

not met —— jurisdiction, border force officials said he had not met immigration rules, so there is aween tennis authorities, state authorities and federal authorities. it's a very murky world. and i think what this case really serves to highlight is the uncompromising and often complex nature of australia's immigration rules, especially during the pandemic. phil mercer with the latest on the novak djokovic appeal. let's get some of the day's other news. the united nations says at least 108 civilians have been killed by air strikes in northern ethiopia, in the past two weeks. the un human rights office said 75 others had been injured in strikes, allegedly carried out by the ethiopian air force. the federal government has previously denied attacking civilians in tigray. a sudanese man has died while attempting to cross the english channel in sub—zero conditions. he was pulled from the water by french rescue teams after going overboard early in the morning, but was declared dead when they returned to shore. with much of argentina experiencing record high temperatures, firefighters are b

he will have to report to the offices of border force in melbourne at eight o'clock tomorrow morningmost certainly be detained. that will allow him to spend the morning with his lawyers with border force official somewhere else in the building and then he will have to return to an asylum hotel where he spent four nights, waiting in the hearing last weekend. at that stage to healing will perhaps take place on the sunday. this has not been confirmed but the plan is to get everything done by sunday so novak djokovic and the australian open know where they stand. andy murray is in sydney, where's he'sjust reached hsi first atp tour final for three years. after his semifinal win over reilly 0pelka he had this to say about the latest twist in the djokovic saga. it's not a good situation for anyone. i don't know whether he can compete in the tournament ago on practising. it looked as if england were going to have their best day of the ashes so far, but australia's batsmen hit back in the final test in hobart, closing on 241—6. england won the toss and bowled first and reduced australia to 1

so this is something that the australia border force is looking into at this point. and, remember, we still haven't heard from the immigration minister, alex hawk, he still reserves the right to personally intervene and to cancel djokovic's visa. we heard from his office today and they say that they are still considering the situation in due process. now, it is something that is just continuing to roll here as djokovic does try and move forward and say that he does want to stay in australia. there are still many questions. the prime minister of australia and serbia spoke by telephone today as well. prime minister scott morrison talking about the nondiscriminatory policy of the border controls here in australia due to covid-19. and he has been very vocal all along saying rules are rules, there are no exceptions. john? >> all the way up to that level. leaders of nations talking about this. it could all still go sideways based on questions of honesty. paula hancocks, thank you very much. >>> breaking overnight, a reprieve for parents in chicago. they're waking up to the

and his legal team and thejudge found the djokovic and his legal team and the judge found the border forceot acted properly so that decision was overturned and novak djokovic �*s veez that was reinstated however we then had the australian immigration minister, alex hawke, he has reviewed the case and he has used his ministerial powers, these discretionary broad powers, to again cancel that visa, that happened on friday. so here we are on sunday, and appeal to the full bench of the federal court and if novak djokovic loses, there is no automatic right of appeal but of course, time is of the essence, it is lunchtime here in melbourne and the australian open starts in less than 2a hours when novak djokovic would be expected to defend his australian open title. so time is very much of the essence here. the people and the noise you can hear behind me are around a0 or 50 supporters of novak djokovic stop they are pretty confident he will not only win this appeal but also go on to defend his australian open title but of course it is pretty soon going to be in the hands of the three federal courtj

so border force and whatever. that is not et so border force and whatever. but there to help the border force symbolically. we have also seen drones, surveillance aircraft, going across in the height of the summer when there were lots of migrants coming across, making sure that they have the situational awareness, so there has been some military involvement. this is clearly larger military involvement, but the statement we've had from the ministry of defence, it says the government is exploring every avenue to prevent further crossings and details of how that can be achieved will be made in due course. in other words, we don't know the answer. so a deterrent, but i suppose some might say it would incentivise people, if they think they are coming across, hang on, the british royal navy is going to... yes. coming across, hang on, the british royal navy is going to. . .— royal navy is going to... yes, that is the worry- _ royal navy is going to... yes, that is the worry. what _ royal navy is going to... yes, that is the worry. what they _ royal navy is going to
