Vaccination in sport

Why some athletes are hesitant about receiving the coronavirus vaccine

Following the order by a judge to release tennis star Novak Djokovic from detention, we examine the issue of vaccination amongst professional athletes more broadly. We'll look at the potential implications for global competition, and the reason why some are hesitant to get jabbed. We'll hear a conversation with a pro basketball player, a sports doctor and sports journalist.

We'll also hear the latest on Djokovic, who has been practising in Melbourne's Rod Laver Arena after the decision to revoke his visa was overturned. Our correspondent gives us an update on what could happen next, and reflects on a press conference with the world number one's family.

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 Professor Manfred Green, one of our regular coronavirus experts, will discuss some of the latest Covid-19 stories.
