We'll start with the latest on 8 00:00:27,120 --> 00:00:30,800 Speaker 1: the Australian open drama between Novak Djokovic and Channel nine 9 00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:35,000 Speaker 1: presenter Tony Jones. Djokovic was furious with Jones after he 10 00:00:35,040 --> 00:00:38,159 Speaker 1: made these comments on TV on Friday while standing in 11 00:00:38,159 --> 00:00:40,560 Speaker 1: front of a bunch of Serbian supporters. 12 00:00:41,120 --> 00:00:44,120 Speaker 3: Back to Melbourne Park where you can see the Novak 13 00:00:44,159 --> 00:00:47,320 Speaker 3: Djokovic fans there in full voice. Yeah, the chances are 14 00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:53,880 Speaker 3: quite ashurety Novak, he's overrated NOVAKSA has the Novack kick 15 00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:54,480 Speaker 3: him out? 16 00:00:55,400 --> 00:00:57,279 Speaker 4: Oh I'm glad they can't hear me now. 17 00:00:57,320 --> 00:01:00,840 Speaker 1: Novak last night demanded a public apology from saying he 18 00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:04,120 Speaker 1: wouldn't speak to Channel nine again until he gets one. 19 00:01:04,319 --> 00:01:06,560 Speaker 1: But this morning, Jones appeared on The Today Show and 20 00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:09,039 Speaker 1: said he'd already apologized to Djokovic's camp. 21 00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:12,640 Speaker 3: The comments were made on the news on the Friday night, 22 00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:15,720 Speaker 3: which I considered to be banter. I considered it to 23 00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:19,080 Speaker 3: be humor, which is consistent with most things I do. 24 00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:22,400 Speaker 3: Having said that, I was made aware on the Saturday 25 00:01:22,440 --> 00:01:26,240 Speaker 3: morning from Tennis Australia via the Djokovic camp that the 26 00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:29,679 Speaker 3: Djokovic camp was not happy at all with those comments. Now, 27 00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:34,560 Speaker 3: as such, I immediately contacted the Djokovic camp and issued 28 00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:37,160 Speaker 3: an apology to them. So this is forty eight hours 29 00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:41,480 Speaker 3: ago for any disrespect that Novak felt that I had caused. 30 00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:44,920 Speaker 3: And as I stand here now, I stand by that 31 00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:49,000 Speaker 3: apology to Novak if he felt any disrespect, which quite 32 00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:53,840 Speaker 3: clearly he does. Now I should also say the disrespect 33 00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:57,320 Speaker 3: was extended, I guess, in many ways to the Serbian fans. Now, 34 00:01:57,600 --> 00:02:00,240 Speaker 3: as you know, being here over the seven years, build 35 00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:02,200 Speaker 3: up a nice rapport with the Serbian fans. They come 36 00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:04,800 Speaker 3: here with the flags, and they provide so much color 37 00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:07,760 Speaker 3: and so much passion, and there was banter. So I 38 00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:11,040 Speaker 3: thought what I was doing was an extension of that banter. 39 00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:13,120 Speaker 3: Quite clearly that hasn't been interpreted. 40 00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:16,040 Speaker 2: That White God, that story is wild to the Middle East. Now. 41 00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:19,200 Speaker 2: Three Israeli hostages who were freed by Hamas overnight were 42 00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:22,400 Speaker 2: given bizarre gift bags as they would let go now. 43 00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:26,959 Speaker 2: The bags reportedly contained souvenirs, including photos of them in captivity, 44 00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:30,680 Speaker 2: a commemorative photo of Gaza, and some kind of certificate. 45 00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:34,520 Speaker 1: In the US now, Donald Trump will be sworn in 46 00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:38,680 Speaker 1: as America's president for the second time tomorrow morning.

And 54 00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:07,000 Speaker 5: in the coming days, we are going to make public 55 00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:12,560 Speaker 5: remaining records relating to the assassinations of President John F.
