The Australian Open tennis is underway. Its the most ambitious competition since the beginning of the coronavirus pandemic. The event is only happening because australia has been able to control the spread of the virus. For the latest we can now speak to our correspondent Shaimaa Khalil whojoins us from melbourne. How is it going . Well, there is a real buzz about Melbourne Park today as tennis fans are finally able to come in and enjoy the first grand slam of the year. People have been coming in throughout the day, some making their way to tennis courts, others Walking Around the park, some sitting behind me and enjoying the outdoors and watching the tennis on the big screen. This looked very, very different only a few days ago last week when a covid 19 case in one of the tournaments hotels meant all the Warmup Events were cancelled and more than 500 players and staff had to go into isolation. Much to the organisers relief, all tests came back negative and here we are with day one of the first grand slam of the year well under way. You can hear cheering from different parts of the park as people watch matches and cheer the players on. It does feel quite different this year, because its happening in the midst of a pandemic. There are covid 19 safety rules all around, from Hand Sanitisers to posters and talking about social distancing and Face Covering and qr codes for contact tracing. Also the part feels different, because its been provided to different zones, each ticket will take the fans to their specified zone, limiting the number of people mixing but also helping organisers in contact tracing. All in all, melbourne and australia in general want to prove that despite the challenges that a Global Pandemic resents, they are still able to hold an International Sporting event on the bubble. find International Sporting event on the bubble International Sporting event on the bubble. � ,. ,. , the bubble.

How the organisers, how the city was able to limit movement and mixing but remember, this is only able to happen because australia has done so well in controlling the spread of the virus. One thing Thatis Spread of the virus. One thing that is different here is the amount of people, up to 30,000 are expected and thats half the number we had last year and this is in an area where there is very limited covert 19 cases, notjust in the city but all over the country. It will be different stories and other countries where they have more cases. That is the question, can you have something on the level of the limb experi example, because you can multiply this by 100 injapan. The olympics, for example. We will let you back to the action. President Ronald Reagans long time Secretary Of State, george shultz, has died aged 100. Mr shultz spent most of the 1980s trying to improve relations with the soviet union and forging a course for peace in the middle east. Paul hawkins looks back at his life. He is widely credited with helping to end the cold war. Thank you very much, mr president , and my friends. George shultz served as us Secretary Of State for 6. 5 years under ronald reagan. During that time he helped improve relations with president gorbachev and his foreign minister, eduard shevardnadze. In negotiations, he refused to make concessions in advance, waiting for them to blink and they usually did. Helping us to remove this understanding. He knew they had become more concerned with problems at home than interference abroad. In 1987, both countries signed a landmark arms control agreement. He was involved in talks with iran in the 1980s. The iranians are known as great drug merchants not for nothing. They are good at this business of smiling and encouraging you on and then cutting your throat. In total, he served three president s, Dwight Eisenhower and Richard Nixon here. His Public Service following an impressive academic career which saw him become a distinguished fellow of the hoover institutuion. Its director, condoleeza rice, a former victory of state herself, called him a Great American statesman and a true patriot, while the current Secretary Of State said he was a legend and an ardent champion of diplomacy. George shultz chose words instead of weapons to end the cold war. Last december, to celebrate his 100th birthday, he wrote in the washington post, trust was when trust was in the room, good things happened. When trust wasnt, good things did not. Still to come, all the Top Business Stories and the great debate about vaccine passports. Are they necessary to keep us safe or are they discrimination . Hello. The overriding weather story for all of us week, at least this week will be just how cold it is. Subzero wind chill in all parts during the first half of the week. Thats going to bring hit and miss snow showers. Many in the west will avoid them. Hard overnight frosts return this week as the winds feel lighter. But later less cold air will try to push its way in. As you can see, weve got the easterly winds dominating the cold air for much of the week. But as milder atlantic air tries to push in, that Boundary Line could bring some snow into the west, but the Question Mark is how far that boundary gets in . It looks like the cold air will, by and large, win out. And certainly on sunday the cold air brought the snow showers across kent and parts of east anglia. Its these areas right until midday on monday the met Office Amber Weather Warning remains in place. There will be a covering of snow elsewhere in Eastern Parts of england. Eastern scotland as we start the day from snow showers through the night. Fewer in the west, all starts with subzero temperatures and of course the chance of some ice. Now into monday, snow showers in the west are few and far between. There will be a few light flurries here and there. Eastern areas are most prone, but even here some will stay dry. But we will see those snow showers form into core doors, one through lincolnshire to the peak district, and another one aberdeenshire through to kinross. Snow could mount up. 5 15cm of snow blown along by some pretty strong winds. Strongest winds to the south and east with a big impact on temperature. On the thermometers it has zero to 3 degrees potentially. The wind could feel as cold as around 7 or 8 through the afternoon in east anglia and the southeast. That cold wind chill then continues into tuesday. Further Snow Flurries coming in. The winds subtly shifting direction, so it might be different areas that see Snow Flurries. Could be a different line particularly for the central belt of scotland. One through east anglia and towards the home counties. And we also have got to watch for a Weather System just getting close to cornwall and also across into parts of the channel islands, that could bring some sleet and snow here. But another day of subzero wind chill for all of us. As you go through into wednesday, the winds will ease. Notice how the isobars opening out a little bit. That means we will see a very cold start with lighter winds, particularly across the snowfields of scotland we could see temperatures as low as around 13 or 14. The snow showers that we do see want to be driven as far west either. Many towards the eastern areas, most though on wednesday will have a dry and bright day. Still pretty cold but with less of a wind chill out there. Bye for now. Under way. We will be live to melbourne with the latest.
