shown he was likely to challenge it in court a second time. and that's exactly how things had proceeded. on this time with the second cancellation the reasons given by the government were very different to those that were determined by the border force official that initially canceled his visa on the morning after he arrived in this country. this time the government chose a very different path legally. essentially the argument went like this. it argued that his presence in this country was potentially, maybe, might be a threat to public order and safety because the minister said he was concerned about djokovic acting -- or the presence of djokovic galvanizing anti-vaccine sentiment in this country, that he could perhaps ina i inadadvertently result in fewer people getting vaccinate, could be particularly unvaccinated people on the streets. so those particular moments could be considered to be transmission events. you'd be more likely to see transmission of covid under those circumstances. that was the argument they used. i think it took a lot of people by surprise because it didn't have anything to do with whether or not djokovic was right in thinking he could enter the country with a vaccine exemption as was argued in the first place. the whole argument initially centered on the fact he thought he could get in here exempted from being vaccinated because he had recently had covid-19. his lawyers tried to argue that the government's case here was irrational, illogical. they argued that really -- and based upon what we've seen over the last two days with some substances -- that locking him up, threatening to deport him, not allowing him to play in the australian open, these things are more likely to fire up the anti-vaccine community here. and they argued that not considering that was unreasonable. now, the government's lawyer spent a good deal of time in court today essentially saying the government did consider this, that this was part of their considerations. they did consider the consequences one way or the other regardless of which decision the minister made. but the decision that was -- that he essentially hinged it on was this belief that the continued presence of novack djokovic constituted potentially a threat to public health and good order. the reason why that was always going to be difficult to challenge in court is because of the specific language within the law. it points to, might be, maybe. these are very low legal bars the minister has to justify. and so for that reason i think the broad consensus among legal experts was that challenging a minister like this on these sorts of positions where he has considerable power and a great deal of discretion, that challenging them in court rarely results in success. and that is what we have seen here today. that breaking news, michael, once again that novack djokovic has lost his attempt to have his visa cancellation overturned by the federal court of australia with three judges unanimously agreeing his lawyers did not prove their case. that means he remains in mandatory detention and he's going to be removed from the country at some point in the near future. >> talk to me about the public reaction there and you being back down in your home country, my home country for a few days. now, there is this australian ethos if you like of fairness, of no special treatment especially the tall poppies as they say down under, you know. and how much did that play into this. you can't come into our country and get treated differently to how i would get treated. a lot of australians haven't been able to get back home from overseas because of rules. >> reporter: yeah, i think that sort of reaction you're describing there, that is what was at the heart of what is, you know, thought to be at the heart of the initial political reaction to this. when novack djokovic first announced via social media he was on his way to melbourne with some sort of exemption. he didn't specify whether or not the vaccines were involved, but there was a great deal of speculation in the lead up to this recent period of time about what would djokovic do? given that although he's made skeptical comments about vaccines in the past he had not prior to these proceedings revealed publicly his vaccine status. so there was all of this speculation. then he sent that message via social media he was on his way. and what that triggered was a really strong -- some people have said visceral reaction among the australian public. because given that they have gone through a very difficult two. year period throughout this pandemic where some countries, some cities particularly melbourne have lived under very strict lock down conditions where state borders, international borders have been closed, there's been a great deal of suffering and acfice among the australian people. so the idea of someone coming in here, being treated differently in some way or the perception they're being treated differently in some way because of their wealth status, celebrity, sporting status and so forth, a lot of people really bristled at that idea. and it was in response to that very strong reaction the australian government then responded with -- with full political backing of the idea that djokovic would get no special treatment. and from that moment on you could say the die was cast, really. that's what drew the line in the sand. that meant djokovic was never going to get an easy ride once he arrived here. and that's what happened when he first got a border official who ruled he had no grounds to enter the country without any sort of appropriate medical exemption without being vaccinated. it's probably worth mentioning the voke vch view at that point. because what he had receive from two panels of medical experts one working for the australian open, one for the victorian state government which he could according to the guidelines, he did have a right to play based upon that recent covid-19 recovery. 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 whole affair has really highlighted some flaws in the australian immigration system? i think for starters the fact you can be issued a visa and then travel all the way to the country and then you're told the visa is no good, you don't have the paperwork, how does that happen? that seems to be a pretty -- a pretty poor procedure. and the other thing, too, that i think has been highlighted, and i'd love your thoughts. where he's been staying is where a lot of migrants and asylum seekers have been staying and have highlighted how some of them are treated, kept for years in that hotel that he was in for a few days. a few sort of questions there, i guess. >> reporter: yeah, indeed, michael. so i think the australian government has been making the point over the last few days first on the visa issue that having a visa does not guarantee you entry into incountry. that is the moment you present yourself at the border. so djokovic's argument, his lawyer's argument particularly in the first court hearing was he had a visa, he had those medical exemptions from those panels of independent medical experts and had filled in a travel declaration form, which all people arriving in this country have to fill in now which essentially declares your vaccination stating, where you've been recently to determine whether or not you meet the -- the pandemic -- the existing pandemic requirements. he said that he had all of that. and so that was why he thought he did everything he reasonably could. but as i said the government says none of that means anything. no matter how much paperwork you have lined up in advance you've got to meet the requirements and be able to prove it, provide the necessary evidence if you're asked to do so. the moment you present yourself at passport control. if you can't do that you're going to be pulled aside to a little room. he was questioned further, he wasn't able to satisfy the questions that were put to him by those border force officials. the other point that you make is that, yes, once he was put into detention, he was put into detention in a facility that was a former hotel but is being used to house some people that have been caught up of something of a limbo within the australian immigration system in some cases for many years now. and these tend to be people who have arrived here seeking asylum. according to refugee advocacy groups some of these people do have -- do have refugee status, but the australian government has a policy that is meant to deter people arriving on its shores by boats and so forth by saying if you arrive on this -- arrive here without proper documentation then you will never be settled here. so even if people are found to be refugee legally under all the proper rules and safe guards, then it means they still according to the augs trailian government have to be settled somewhere else. so that's how people get caught up in this limbo, if you like, that can last many, many years. and djokovic staying at that facility has certainly drawn some degree of international attention to the plight of those people and some perhaps renewed criticism for what many people believe to be a very tough and certainly its critics say is a particularly heartless aspect of the australian immigration system. >> yeah, great summary of what's been going on by our phil black there in melbourne. phil, thanks so much. appreciate it. all right, let's go to tennis expert joining us again. that's the legalities. now to the tennis. what is this going to do to the draw? >> this rapidly changes the draw obviously in a massive, massive way. novack djokovic was a favorite to win this tournament and all grand slam title before all of this disorder started for him, before he showed up in the country unvaccinated and ran into a major wall the government had built for him unbeknownst to him here. he came to this tournament that he was going to be able to play comfortably. nothing will move around. djokovic will be removed from the draw and when he is assuming he's the next player removed from the draw, he'll be replaced by the top line of the draw with a lucky loser, a distinctly smaller draw card than djokovic. that match will certainly be moved off the marquee arena and somewhere else. i think a lot of relief for a lot of players in the draw who really felt the whole djokovic saga had hijacked the event for many of them. >> something i asked patrick snell the last hour and i'll ask you, do you think all of this will tarnish his legacy? or is it going to be a case of everyone's got short memories and a few years from now h everyone is going to go vaccine what? >> this is certainly something he'll have to respond to. that's something both andy murray and raphael nadal, too have said they want explanations from vdjokovic. but the ball is in his court, and he'll have a lot of time to think about it as he gets on a plane home. the next one back to dubai, he could be out of here very soon if he decides there is no avenue to stay and fight. >> and how do you think the decision is going to go down there in melbourne among tennis fans? >> the support in melbourne, a large population that's been very behind the deportation order. probably when it came out today 71% of people polled in the melbourne area wanted djokovic to get deported. only 14% thought he should stay and play. so this was a very politically attractive decision the government was able to get to in the end, a very popular outcome. and it's something clearly was in many ways scored political points so they stayed with it in some ways. but also they wanted to show the people and reassure them there was no getting around these rules, which people here have very steadfastly followed for two years now during the pandemic. >> been great to have your analysis on this. appreciate it. we'll take a quick break here. we'll be back with more on novack djokovic. he's lost his court case. he won't play at the australian open. he'll probably be out of the country in the next few hours. and t-mobile will pay for it! upgrade to the iphone 13 on us. with our unique tub over tub installation in just a day, bath fitter doesn't just fit your bath, it fits your busy schedule. why have over two million people welcomed bath fitter into their homes?

>> yeah, i mean, this is something of the 127 players in the draw, michael, they wanted a resolution. they wanted to focus on the tournament itself, and i'm sure novack djokovic as well, the world's top ranked player in the world wanted a decision so he could focus on it tournament because for him and the extraordinary lengths he went to over the best part of two weeks to fight this, michael, the challenge was legally all about getting the chance to compete at this year's australian open. now the tournament and the fans there, his fans there, i should stress, tennis australia, the tennis organizers losing a nine time australian open champ wherein, and they'll not get the opportunity to go not just for that 21st grand slam title which would have given him if he'd been successful the chance of a tenth aussie open crown, so there will be no novack djokovic taking center stage on the arena where he would have been facing one of his compatriots in that encounter. and he has to rethink his whole strategy moving forward, you would think. and you have to wonder, michael, what toll this will be taking on him moving forward. and as ben was saying earlier, we want to hear from him. we want to hear his thoughts. we want to hear his reasoning. we want novack djokovic to speak, to elaborate, to tell us so much more about where he is coming from. this has been resonating with me all week, michael, that 97 of the top 100 players on the men's tour are fully vaccinated. just figure what that is. it's a pivotal moment. we have our answer for now. >> he's 35 this year. he's not going to get his 21st in australia. he will play in paris. he might not play in the u.s. open because there are vaccination rules there, too. how much damage has he done to himself in term of getting to that point? he had a very good chance in australia because federer also on 20 wasn't playing. nadal also on 20, he's only one one in australia, so this was a good shot for him. >> yes, absolutely was. and you think back to last year emphasis u.s. open in new york city, and you're quite right, michael, in this ever changing world we don't know. we don't know what requirements are going to be in place when we get to the french open for example in paris. we think he's going to be good to compete in that as it stands, but we shall see. there are stringent requirements for indoor events in new york city. were that to become an indoor event. but, look, this is a wonderful chance. going back to last year's u.s. open when he was beaten in that final by mel vudevin straight sets. he's going to go over to australia in the early part of 2022 and get it job done there and win number 21, but he has made life so difficult for himself. the venezuelan born spaniard put it, all he had to do was to get fully vaccinated. that was her take on it. there's been other bumps in the road as well, hasn't there? you think back when he was defaulted two years ago at the u.s. open in sydney. he's got many hurdles trying to get to number 21, and this one is self-imposed. >> getting in his own way, exactly. patrick, thanks so much. patrick snell with "world sport." okay, let's keep this going and go across to cnn's scott mcclain who is in serbia. and scott, when you think about the reaction there in serbia, his family was angry at how he's been treated. the government was angry and angry at the australian government. the people there are angry, and that was before this decision. >> reporter: you know what's remarkable, michael, is how uncontroversial this whole situation was in this country. i say uncontroversial because people were almost universally in support of novack djokovic. they simply could not understand how he could travel to australia and somehow end up in this mess. and perhaps the headline banner on the public broadcaster as soon as this news broke here in serbia said it best. it simply said "disgraced." they said someone on the acting president of the bellgrade tennis association who says australia has lost its honor. and what was interesting to me in listening to the judge last hour explain this ruling he sort of gave a preamble that clarified what this whole process was about because in part of the interest this is generating in serbia, saying that, look, this is not an appeal. this is simply a review of the minister's decision to make sure that it was generally in line with australian law, and that almost seems like it could have been directed at the serbian president because alexander came out with a statement just this weekend saying -- well, he left nothing unsaid when it comes to his feelings about the australian government. he said that, look, australia likes to preach to us about the rule of law. he found it amazing that you could have a politician overruling the will of a judge. he wasn't upset with the australian judicial system and he said they probably wouldn't have said anything had this simply been a decision for the courts to make. his issue was with the political intervention in this case. and what's even more interesting perhaps a little bit ironic is that actually today, michael, there is a referendum being held here in serbia to change the constitution to make judges more independent, to put them in line with the rest of the eu. so i would be very curious to know if this decision changes that at all given how australia looks in this situation in the eyes of most ordinary serbians. they find it pretty remarkable that you can have a politician overruling the decision by a judge earlier in this case. >> yeah, complicated stuff. yeah. scott mcclain, appreciate it there. and quite separately it's a beautiful scene behind you. scott mcclain in belgrade. we're going to take a quick break. we'll be right back. heartiness?

>> so just going back from the beginning of the day there was this sort of caricature from how law enforcement works or at least professional law enforcement. they're just going to run in and everything has to be fast and resolved, and the truth is that for a hostage negotiator in most instances because it's not an active shooter situation, so those are two different situations. in a hostage situation you're really trying to buy time. so we call it you're trying to extend the runway and just give more time. and that's saemgessentially wha happens. why are you buying time? the hostage may give up. the hostage taker may give up. he may release a hostage as we saw earlier today. he may tire, or he may become more agitated. even if he becomes more agitated that's giving the fbi -- basically they were on the ground for about 8 hours or 9 hours -- a lot of time to figure out how to get into the building and get the hostages out safely because those are precision operations, right? the boom, the entry, and the protection of the hostages and as we now know the killing of the perpetrator. so that's basically what happened behind closed doors rightfully so. you have the continuing negotiation, the buying of a long period of time and then entry. what triggers it is one is the hostage has exposed vulnerability and they're going to come in, or they've lost contact with the hostage taker and want to get in relatively quickly. >> we also heard they're going to be having an investigation, of course, a global investigation according to the fbi. what sorts of things are investigators going to be looking for? >> so it's -- if he was animated by the siddiqui aura, let's say, this sort of radicalization that comes from supporting siddiqui, a female al-qaeda member, someone who is in jail in texas, so we don't know if there's a relation there, so was he radicalized because of just her cult-like status? or was he radicalized to do this, to sort of operationize her anti-semitism. like i i don't see how you separate her from the anti-semitism of targeting a synagogue or whether he was targeted or told to do something like this. so he does not seem terribly sophisticated from visually from what we were told by congregants. he's agitated at the beginning. he's apologizing, doesn't seem in control. he appears to have no exit strategy, chooses a synagogue that -- that he claims was because it was near an airport. so there's no reason to have chosen it except for geography. so they may believe he was both radicalized alone and acted alone. that is not to negate the radicalization that is occurring within terrorist organizations or within the jihadist organizations to target synagogues globally, which we're just seeing throughout -- throughout the united states and the world. >> yeah, and there's a lot we're going to learn, a lot we don't know yet. but if that doesn't seem massively sophisticated, as you say a small synagogue in the suburbs as ed lavandera was saying. you know, that just doesn't sound like it was particularly well thought out. and i guess that points to the difficulty of stopping such things as well. >> yeah. and also to the fear. i mean, in other words, you do things in your life you know are sort of higher profile, right? you go to a big super bowl you expect -- there's some expectation you might be increasing your vulnerability. but you join a small synagogue in the suburbs in texas with 100 members or families, and it's that vulnerability that terror actually sort of breeds off of, that as a jewish american you're not safe anywhere. and we hear this throughout the jewish community. i work with many synagogues in terms of their safety and security, in terms of ensuring that they are safer. and the challenge or the horror of this for the community and those i speak to -- and my children are jewish -- is synagogues are meant to be open, right? in other words most religious institutions are. they want people of their own faith to feel welcome, but they also want people -- and i think that's what you're hearing much more eloquently than me from members of the jewish community but certainly from a security perspective. there is a loss of going from being a soft target to a hard target that you can't measure in security terms, right? and i think that's what you're hearing today. >> yeah, great analysis. i mean, they said they're processing the scene now. what are they going to be looking for? >> so a couple -- so i think the most important thing is who is he? what is his social media or internet access? where -- how did he get there? how did he choose that synagogue? so just basically you're in weird ways these are such elevated events but they become quite traditional in their investigation. so you're going to have both the social media review, who's he in contact with as well as family, friends and others. throughout it day there was speculation about who he was and his relationship to siddiqui. in other words, we don't know anything yet. remember she -- it's hard to explain her status in radicalization circles because she's both a woman, there's so few women and she's an educated woman. she's viewed -- siddiqui is the woman jailed in texas who this perpetrator alleges he wanted her free. she is viewed as being unfairly or not accurately convicted and has become sort of a galvanizing force for a lot of the radical elements within -- not within islam but within violent islam that would do something like this. >> yeah. great analysis, juliette. thanks my friend. i appreciate it. parts of the u.s. being hit with heavy winter weather. everything you need to know about this storm from the cnn weather center and derek van dam. that's coming up. the daybed slash dog bed. the living room slash yoga shanti slash regional office slash classroom. and this is the basement slash panic room. maybe what your family needs is a vacation home slash vacation home. find yours on the vrbo app. ♪ ♪ smooth like butter, like a criminal undercover ♪ ♪ gon' pop like trouble ♪ ♪ breaking into your heart like that ♪ ♪ do the boogie, like ♪ ♪ side step, right-left, to my beat ♪ ♪ high like the moon, rock with me, baby ♪ ♪ know that i got that heat ♪ ♪ let me show you 'cause talk is cheap ♪ ♪ side step, right ♪ ♪ get it, let it roll ♪ [vocalizing] [sound of dental machine] open here you go buddy. thank you. ah, thank you. have a good one. you too.

will we see snow or see freezing rain? let's get hyper local because you can start to see the transition. approaching the 285 corridor right around atlanta where cnn center is located. but it's really the carolinas i'm most concerned about because this is where we have an ice storm warning. you can see the over 75 million americans impacted by this storm through sunday into monday. focusing on the carolinas, some of our computer models picking up half an inch to an inch of ice accumulation with this winter storm moving through. as that starts to accumulate in the power lines, tree limbs and start to combine strong gust wind, michael was mentioning high wind warnings and advisories in place across the southeast, that will have implications on power. that will certainly take out the power across portions of of the southeast. so that is a real concern. with that warm nose of air i mentioned on the satellite just moments ago notice how this impacts the east coast. that will keep the precipitation mainly rain for major cities norfolk to philadelphia to boston, maybe a brief change over to snowfall, but the heaviest of snow will actually be located on the interior portions of of the midatlantic as well as norgz sections of new england. here's the forecast rain and snow accumulation. you can see the rainfall along the coast, but we're talking over a foot of snowfall possible across central pennsylvania and up state new york as we wind out this storm by monday. >> thanks for the update, derek. appreciate it. derek van dam there. we're going to take a quick break. when we come back find out why more than 100 million vaccines were rejected by the countries who need it the most. that's after the break. we're getting destroyed out there. we need a plan! i have a plan... right now at t-mobile, customers on magenta max can get the new iphone 13 ...and t-mobile will pay for it! i'm talking new customers! i'm talking existing customers like ronald! the new iphone on t-mobile... let's do it! new and existing t-mobile and sprint customers, can upgrade to the iphone 13 on us. on our most popular max plan. do we have a plan for the second half?

how much of a challenge are things like that? >> yes, yes. so as i said, this is really historical operation, and there are many challenges. with the support of donors, unicef and covax partners have really accelerated the rollout of vaccines. we have seen that only in the month of december, we had delivered more than 330 million doses to over 70 countries. so this doesn't come without challenges. and truly, it's remarkable. even december alone is a remarkable month. but some countries have declined to receive the doses because -- especially because of the short vaccine shelf life. and we have seen this throughout the months. and the limited capacity, given the sheer volume of supply available in the month of december alone. and so they're encountering a lot of difficulties. so this was -- but also, michael, to explain that this is a normal process. this is a normal process of countries have to go through acceptance, and also, we actually take the doses that are allocated or, let's say, declined, to other countries as well. so this is a process of allocation. >> in africa, there are significant issues with hesitancy or complacency. people just not wanting the shots or not caring enough. how do you combat those challenges? >> right. so we have seen vaccine hesitancy around the world. so i think a lot of work is happening currently on the ground from unicef partners, covax partners. there is a lot of work with communities, with social listening. so there is actually a lot of acceptance. we are working actually to hear what is it that the communities are hearing and really responding to that potential vaccine hesitancy and so on. but michael, let me tell you that the governments on the ground are all really doing a fantastic, fabulous job. also with our actions, you know, governments showing their acceptance and giving that role model, if i can say, to the communities and to people. >> right. even so, according to the u.n. and the w.h.o., i think it's still less than 10% of all people in africa, eligible people, have received a dose. leaving huge parts of the world unvaccinated in a pandemic where variants are such a threat. that is a huge issue. explain why the rest of the world should care about that. >> absolutely. i think this is a reminder that, especially as we're seeing with omicron, it is absolutely a reminder that we have said from the beginning of this pandemic, until everyone is safe, no one is safe. and we'll see more variants circulating unless and until we have the coverage, increased coverage, of vaccination around the world. and this critical milestone of 1 billion doses, it's a fantastic and very important one. but it's also a reminder that there is way much more work that we altogether have to do to really increase the coverage that you are referring to, to protect the health workers, to protect the social workers, to protect the health system. so that we can bring the services back, but also, we want children to go back to school, michael. we have so many children out of school. and it is so important that the only way to defeat this outbreak, it is actually by solidarity and increasing coverage around the world. >> congratulations on the work you do. there are many challenges and hopefully they will be met, because that is in the interests of all of us. ava, thank you so much, appreciate it. we want to recap the two top breaking stories we've been following for the last few hours, really. in australia, tennis star novak djokovic has lost his deportation appeal. he was hoping to stay in the country to defend his title in the australian open tennis tournament which starts on monday. but a federal court ultimately sided with the immigration minister's decision to revoke djokovic's visa. wouldn't touch it, wouldn't go there, didn't want to overrule a visa decision. the minister said he was concerned the unvaccinated star's presence could spur a rise in anti-vaccine sentiment. in texas, hostages held for 10 hours at a synagogue near fort worth have been rescued alive and safe. officials say the hostage-taker is dead. thanks for spending part of your day with me. i'm michael holmes. follow me on twitter and instagram @holmescnn. paula newton with more "cnn newsroom" next. flavor-fullest. panera. live your yes. now $1 delivery. if you have this... consider adding this. an aarp medicare supplement insurance plan from unitedhealthcare. medicare supplement plans help by paying some of what medicare doesn't... and let you see any doctor. any specialist. anywhere in the u.s. who accepts medicare patients. so if you have this... consider adding this. call unitedhealthcare today for your free decision guide. ♪ (announcer) carvana's had a lot of firsts. 100% online car buying. car vending machines. and now, putting you in control of your financing. at carvana, get personalized terms, browse for cars that fit your budget, then customize your down payment and monthly payment. and these aren't made-up numbers. it's what you'll really pay, right down to the penny. whether you're shopping or just looking. it only takes a few seconds, and it won't affect your credit score. finally! a totally different way to finance your ride. only from carvana. the new way to buy a car. this is cnn breaking news. >> we want to welcome our viewers here in the united states and around the world. i'm paula newton at cnn center. we begin with that breaking news
