Summary

Two more boozy get-togethers in No 10 during lockdown have come to light, this time on the night before the Duke of Edinburgh's funeral. We speak to the reporter who got the scoop, The Telegraph’s Tony Diver, and Lord Gavin Barwell, former Chief of Staff to Theresa May. Australia has detained Novak Djokovic and cancelled his visa for a second time. But is it game, set and vax for the tennis star? The BBC's Russell Fuller is in Melbourne. And following the BBC drama about the Met Police's handling of the deaths of three gay men murdered by Stephen Port, we hear from Sarah Sak, whose son Anthony Walgate was Port's first victim. Today’s Newscast was made by Daniel Wittenberg with Alix Pickles and Ben Cooper. The studio director was Emma Crowe and the editor was Jonathan Aspinwall.

0:04.8	Hello, just realised we haven't played where in the world does Novak Djokovic for a little
0:09.1	while. So let's get an update with, of course, the tennis correspondent Russell Fuller,

0:35.7	has been anything but. So where in the world is Novak Djokovic now?
0:40.5	Yes, the hope is when you travel out to Australia a couple of days earlier than you might otherwise
0:45.6	need to for COVID reasons that you might actually have a couple of days of relative peace
0:49.9	and quiet, but no, quite the opposite. And as we speak, Novak Djokovic is still a free
0:55.0	man. He is staying in the hotel or apartment that he has booked for the week, but that is
1:01.3	not going to remain the case for much longer because at eight o'clock on Saturday morning
1:05.4	Melbourne time, he needs to report to the offices of Australian Border Force, where he's
1:10.0	going to be formally detained once more. After the immigration minister Alex Hawke said
1:15.1	that he was going to revoke his visa for a second time. Now the Australian government
1:20.0	have said they will not attempt to deport Djokovic until the appeal that his legal team
1:25.0	have launched has been concluded. So what happens tomorrow morning? He'll be detained
