Novak Djokovic has been dealt yet another blow with the tennis star set to face an investigation by Spanish authorities

This follows revelations Djokovic traveled to the country without a valid vaccination certificate or exemption in December and early January.

It’s believed the world number one did not request any special permission from the Spanish Embassy or the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to enter the country.

Back in Australia… there are reports the nation’s immigration minister is just hours away from deciding whether or not Novak will be allowed to stay Down Under and compete in the Australian Open.

On Wednesday, the embattled tennis player published an Instagram post… addressing both when he tested positive for Covid AND a mistake on his border entry form.

He admitted he did go ahead with a photoshoot and interview after knowingly being Covid positive… canceling all commitments from this point forward.

For more, I spoke with media lawyer Justin Quill and I began by asking about his thoughts on Novak’s recent Instagram post.

Washington D.C. has been under pressure to ban the popular Chinese-owned social media app TikTok.

TikTok users could soon find that the popular social media service is either under new ownership or could be outright banned in the U.S.

Calls are growing louder from many lawmakers and national security hawks to ban TikTok, over fears the app could censure content, influence users, and give Americans’ personal data to Beijing.

But the Chinese tech company, ByteDance—which owns TikTok— denies the allegations.

Dave Levinthal, the Editor-in-Chief of Raw Story joins Veronica Dudo to discuss.
