Australian government's decision to revoke visa of tennis world number one is overturned

Novak Djokovic has been practising in Melbourne's Rod Laver Arena, after Judge Anthony Kelly ordered his release from the hotel where he was being held. The men's tennis world number one had spent the weekend in detention following the Australian government's decision to revoke his visa - this has now been overturned. We hear the latest, and reach out to fans in Australia to hear their thoughts.

We will also examine the issue of vaccination amongst professional athletes and the potential implications for global competition, in conversation with a pro basketball player, a sports doctor and sports journalist.

In Uganda, children have returned to school today for the first time in almost two years, following one of the world's longest school closures. We will hear why authorities are worried that as many as 30% of students may not return.

And Dr Eleanor Murray, one of our regular coronavirus experts, will discuss some of the latest Covid-19 stories.
