"i will now take time to rest and recuperate before making any further comments. i'm extremely disappointed with the court ruling to dismiss my application." outside the court, many of his fans were still in shock. and emotions were high. it's disgraceful. how was his first visa. .. how did the first court ruling rule in his favour, but now it ruled against him? why? he had an exemption to come here and play tennis. - he was allowed to come here. and that's what he should be doing. it's a political stunt. and serbia's president was even more indignant. he came there with a medical exemption proposal, and then you were mistreating him for ten days. why did you do it, and then doing that witches—hunt campaign against him? that is something that no—one can understand. this was a high—stakes court battle for both sides. the government has been publicly embarrassed by its mishandling of the controversy, while the player was desperate to avoid forfeiting the chance to compete for his record—breaking 21st grand slam title. after being accompanied to the airport by federal police officers, novak djokovic boarded a plane to dubai, ending a saga that has bruised the country, the player, and the australian open. shaimaa khalil, bbc news, melbourne. the labour leader says borisjohnson has presided over "industrial scale partying" in downing street — and renewed his call for the prime minister to resign. sir keir starmer said there was no need to wait for the report into a series of alleged rule—breaking events. the conservative party chairman said today that the culture in number ten should be addressed. here's our political correspondent nick eardley. a prime minister under pressure over what went on in here. were covid rules broke in and downing street? how often did staff drink late into the night while the country was locked down? and can borisjohnson survive? if she comes back and says... labour's leader has made his mind up. i think it's pretty obvious what's happened. there's industrial scale partying that's been going on at downing street. not much of it is really denied, and i think that the public have made up their mind. i think the facts speak for themselves. i think the prime minister broke the law. i think he then lied about what had happened. mr speaker, i want to apologise. the prime minister has admitted he attended one drinks gathering at a time when socialising was extremely limited. that left many of his mps furious. this woman, sue gray, is looking into allegations spanning almost a year. her report is expected soon, but ministers are already suggesting is the culture, not the man at the top, that needs to change. the culture in downing street does need to be addressed, and i think it's absolutely essential that when the prime minister responds to the sue gray report and he's committed to doing that in parliament, that he addresses that culture. i know from many conversations i've had with the prime minister, he's in absolutely no doubt that he should and will take responsibility. but many tory mps are worried about the man at the top. former minister, tim loughton, is the sixth to see the prime minister should go, tweeting... "i have regretfully come to the conclusion that borisjohnson�*s position is now untenable." others are angry in private. grimsby voted conservative for the first time in decades in the last election. so has this row changed minds on borisjohnson? i think the way theyjust think it's ok to do what they like. i think the whole thing has just made me feel like it's time to go. it's time for a change. what he did was wrong, but i think he's done a lot of good things as well. i think it's it's disgusting, | especially when you come to a town like grimsby, - you know, it's been tough. it's been really tough. everybody make mistakes, it's not a big deal. the next week could be crucial in deciding if that happens. mps will return to parliament afterjudging the mood in the country, and the report on parties in downing street is set to be published. will the prime minister be able to move on, or is the clock ticking on boris johnson's premiership?

what about the millions who watch free to air tv and free to air radio? you would have to have big changes, subscription bbc would be very different. of course, borisjohnson the prime minister was asked this in question time last week. he didn't suggest that he was in favour of getting rid of the licence fee and described the bbc as a great national institution at the time. david, thank you. now to the latest coronavirus data — which today does not include figures from scotland, due to a technical issue. elsewhere, there were 70,921; new infections, in the latest 24—hour period. that means an average of nearly 108,000 new cases per day in the last week. another 88 deaths were reported of people who died within 28 days of a positive test. on average in the past week, there were 262 deaths per day. vaccinations are continuing, at a slower pace. on average in the last week, nearly 124,000 people per day had a boosterjab. 63.3% of the population aged 12 or over have now had three doses. a man who took four people hostage at a synagogue in texas — and held them for ten hours, was a british citizen, the foreign office has confirmed. the four hostages were freed by police — the hostage taker died at the scene. reports suggest he was demanding the release of a woman imprisoned in the us after being convicted of terror offences. sophie long reports. more than ten hours after their ordeal began, this is the moment you can see the three final hostages running for their lives. the successful, but nonetheless terrifying end to the delicate, daylong operation. the man who claimed to have a gun and a bomb had disrupted a peaceful morning service being streamed from the congregation in dallas. he may be able to hear his british accent. i in dallas. he may be able to hear his british accent.— his british accent. i am going to die. his british accent. i am going to die- initially. — his british accent. i am going to die. initially, four— his british accent. i am going to die. initially, four people - his british accent. i am going to die. initially, four people were l die. initially, four people were taken hostage, _ die. initially, four people were taken hostage, including - die. initially, four people were taken hostage, including the l die. initially, four people were - taken hostage, including the rabbi. six hours later, one was released unharmed. forthe six hours later, one was released unharmed. for the others, the ordeal would continue until the swat team stormed the building. the?
