After posing for photojournalists, Serbian tennis player Novak Djokovic answered questions from journalists. On Sunday, Novak became the champion of the Australian Open for the 10th time, but he did not celebrate the great success as he intended. “I didn’t celebrate the way I wanted. I had obligations to the media and I went to doping control. At three in the morning, I returned to the accommodation. It was a long night, but everything is still amazing to me. This is the success of my whole family and team members. It was challenging and we didn’t manage to celebrate the way I wanted, but when I return to Europe, we will celebrate, I hope,” Djokovic said. The schedule of the tournament depends on the state of the left hamstring. “I have to have a scan of my leg, see what happens and depending on that, I will decide if I go to Dubai or not. I am registered for now, but we will see if I will be back on the pitch in a few weeks. Dubai is played in the last week of February, I haven’t made a final decision yet,” he added. “As soon as I won the […]

Iraqi boy, 10, eludes security to board Iran-bound plane

Iraqi aviation authorities have been left red-faced after a 10-year-old boy on his own boarded an Iran-bound plane from the international airport in Najaf city after several security checks. The airport authorities said Wednesday they would review security after the boy passed under the radar of seven checks, mixing in with large crowds of travelers. The child was only intercepted after boarding an Iran Air-chartered aircraft, airport manager Hikmat Ahmed told AFP. About five hours after his arrival at the airport on Monday night, “the plane crew contacted us about him,” he said. “Anyone who failed in their duties will be sanctioned, fired or transferred” after an investigation, the official said. According to a security source, his parents who live in a district near the airport had informed police of his disappearance. Iraq’s civil aviation authority said a private firm had since 2019 been in charge of security at Najaf airport, which receives hundreds of thousands of pilgrims a year. “All legal procedures” would be taken against the company once the investigation has been completed, it said.

Women barred from front seat of trucks in Ugandan city

Association says short skirts could be distracting drivers and causing accidents Kampala: A traders association in northern Uganda has banned women from riding up front in trucks after deciding that short skirts and bare thighs could be distracting drivers and causing accidents. The order handed down in Lira city prohibits drivers from permitting “even their wives” in the front cabin of lorries. An association representing local traders and vendors said the decision banning female passengers was made in the name of safety. “Some of them wear short dresses which expose their thighs and distract drivers, and the drivers end up causing accidents and people on board die,” Patrick Opio Obote, chairman of Lira’s mobile market vendors group, said. “The ban takes immediate effect and all drivers and passengers are complying.”Obote said the decision was taken after examining the cause of road accidents in the area involving truck drivers. “We discovered other than high speed and indiscipline of truck drivers, some women sit in front cabin while wearing short dresses, some take the drivers to bars and drink alcohol and the drivers end up causing accidents,” he said. The ban follows an accident on January 10 in which nine traders died […]

Novak Djokovic: Tennis star to be deported after losing Australia visa battle

Novak Djokovic is set to be deported from Australia after losing a last-ditch court bid to stay in the country. Judges rejected his challenge to the government’s decision to cancel the unvaccinated player’s visa on “health and good order” grounds. The world number one’s hopes of defending his Australian Open title and winning a record 21st Grand Slam in Melbourne are over. Djokovic said he was “extremely disappointed” but accepted the ruling. “I will co-operate with the relevant authorities in relation to my departure from the country,” he said in a statement. It was not immediately clear when he would leave. His supporters fell silent outside the courtroom as the decision was announced. One fan told the BBC that her summer would be “empty” without the 34-year-old playing at the Open. Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison welcomed “the decision to keep our borders strong and keep Australians safe”. “Australians have made many sacrifices during this pandemic, and they rightly expect the result of those sacrifices to be protected,” he said. Djokovic launched the case after Immigration Minister Alex Hawke used his ministerial powers to cancel the Serbian player’s visa, arguing that his presence in the country risked fanning anti-vaccine sentiment.
