The world tennis authorities have announced an independent review into the effectiveness of anti-corruption practices in the sport. The announcement was made at the Australian Open. It follows an investigation by the BBC and the website BuzzFeed News which found that 16 players ranked within the top 50 had been repeatedly flagged up to the sport’s watchdog - the Tennis Integrity Unit over suspicions they had thrown matches. President of the Association of Tennis Professionals Chris Kermode said the aim of the investigation was to restore public confidence in the sport. All of us believe that with everything in the news and the serious allegations that had been thrown at our sport, the last thing anyone wants is another sports body investigating itself, and which is why we have taken this very bold step to commission a completely independent review. And the most important point is that we have committed to act on every recommendation.

The Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has accused the UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon of encouraging terrorism after he said it was human nature for the Palestinians to react to occupation.

The technology giant Apple has reported lower-than-expected sales of iPhones in the last quarter thanks in part to the economic slowdown in China. Sales grew at the slowest rate since the device was launched in 2007. Apple's profits, nonetheless, rose for the quarter to more than 18 billion dollars. Rory Cellan-Jones reports. At first sight, Apple has delivered another great set of results with record quarterly profits and revenue. But concerns will center on sales of the iPhone, the product which has transformed the computer maker into the world’s most valuable business. As for the coming month, Apple is forecasting the first falling revenues since the iPhone’s launch. If sales of the product which accounts for 2/3 of its revenue have peaked, the pressure to unveil something that can replace it will increase.

The Greek Immigration Minister Ioannis Mouzalas has hit back at criticism from other EU members who say Greece is not doing enough to tackle the influx of migrants and refugees. Mr. Mouzalas told the BBC Belgium had suggested Greece turn back migrant boats even if that meant more people would drown. And he rejected a proposal that Greece construct large camps for migrants. The only period of history in which there were camps for 400,000 prisoners. It was the period of Nazi. And the refugees are not prisoners. They have rights. I don’t want to be a part of this blame game. Greece wants to be part of the solution. To act in Europe in a unilateral way is something that's not Europe.
