into the dozens. we think it is probably about 25 at the moment. the argument that this minister made is mr sunak cannotjust brushed under the carpet dawn there is an investigation ongoing and i get the sense that mr definitely wait for that to come back, probably not for another fortnight or so. there is a cloud over that, also the issue is the prime minister is facing and struggling to stop industrial action across the economy. 0n struggling to stop industrial action across the economy. on his 100 in office, mr sunak wants to talk about his priorities. there are other challenges as well. now it s time for a look at the weather with carol. any sunshine today? a bit of sunshine in the forecast. good

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.
