The tennis player says he'd rather miss trophies than be forced to get a Covid vaccine.

The world number one men’s tennis player Novak Djokovic says he'd rather miss out on tennis trophies than be forced to get a Covid vaccine. Speaking exclusively to the BBC, he said he should not be associated with the anti-vax movement, but supported an individual's right to choose. We hear the key moments of that interview and find out what people around the world think of what he said. We also speak to the BBC journalist who asked the questions, Amol Rajan. 

We ask our regular coronavirus expert, Dr Isaac Bogoch, how he might try to persuade Novak Djokovic to take a Covid jab.

Also, Russia says it’s withdrawing some troops from near Ukraine’s border, but the NATO military alliance says it’s yet to see evidence of any reduction in Russian forces there. Our correspondent in Moscow tells us the latest.

And after the murders of five journalists in Mexico so far this year, we’re featuring the work of a Mexican reporter on every edition this week. We hear from an investigative reporter in Ciudad Juarez, on the border with the US state of Texas.
