Good morning.

The world No 1 tennis star Novak Djokovic will be immediately released from immigration detention in Australia, after the federal circuit court quashed a decision to cancel his visa.

Can Australia's immigration minister really cancel his visa? Immigration law professor Mary Crock told Guardian Australia the Migration Act gave the minister godlike powers" to cancel visas and if they really decide to ... the power is there".

But what about the judge's decision? That doesn't matter, as Crock explains: Everything that has gone before can be disregarded - it is set up precisely for this situation, to come in and cancel a visa anyway."

What caused the fire? Authorities said the fire was caused by a space heater in a duplex apartment. The fire commissioner, Dan Nigro, said the fire started shortly before 11am in a duplex on the second and third floors and spewed smoke through the building because a door was left open.
