BBC World Service - Weekend, Novak Djokovic: Judges consider last-ditch visa appealSearch BBC

The tennis star is challenging the Australian government's decision to cancel his visa

The tennis star is challenging the Australian government's decision to cancel his visa.

Judges in Australia are considering a last-ditch appeal by Novak Djokovic, challenging the government's decision to cancel his visa on public health grounds. The three judges are considering their verdict after listening to more than four hours of arguments. If his appeal is successful, Novak Djokovic will start his Australian Open title defence on Monday.

Also in the programme: The Prime Minister of New Zealand says a tsunami has inflicted significant damage on Tonga. And we hear from a now former academic at Kabul University, who says he is proud to have been sacked by the Taliban.
