Novak Djokovic detained ahead of deportation appeal

Novak Djokovic has been detained in Australia ahead of a court hearing on Sunday that will determine whether he can stay in the country. The unvaccinated Serbian tennis star faces deportation after his visa was cancelled for a second time. The government say he is a threat to public health, but his lawyers are appealing against what they called an "irrational" judgement.

Also in the programme: We discuss NATO and Russia, after talks between them appear to have ended with no real progress this week. And the UK's Prime Minister Boris Johnson is under more pressure after his office apologised to Queen Elizabeth for holding parties in breach of coronavirus rules, the night before her husband's funeral last year.

Joining Julian Worricker to discuss these and other issues are Chitra Nagarajan, a writer and human rights activist specialising in Nigeria. And Paolo Gerbaudo, a political sociologist specialising in digital culture who teaches at the Scuola Normale Superiore University in Florence.
