Djokovic admits having made “mistakes”
Claiming to be the victim of “misinformation” which he considers “very hurtful” for his family, the world number one explained that he had not yet received the result of his PCR test, carried out the day before, when appearing in public on December 17. The Serb, on the other hand, recognizes an “error in judgment”, that of having received, then asymptomatically ill, journalists from the French daily The Team for an interview.
“Djoker” also pleads “human error” for having ticked the wrong box in the form to enter Australia. The latter was widely publicized by the Australian media, and shows the player ticking the box confirming that he has not traveled in the 14 days prior to his arrival in Australia on January 5.

The economy has “good resistance” against Omicron, according to the Banque de France
The economy has so far escaped the dreaded disorganization due to the explosion of Sars-Cov-2 contamination, according to the results of the central bank’s monthly survey of 8,500 business leaders from 20 December to January 6.
In its report on the economy, however, it notes slightly lessened supply difficulties but persistent recruitment problems and still affecting more than one in two companies, with strong disparities depending on the sector, particularly in services, between “work temporary and business services, which are well oriented”, and conversely accommodation, catering and events, sectors for which we observe a “sharp deterioration in connection with the health context”.
Cheops discovers a planet shaped like a rugby ball
The exoplanet observation satellite has made it possible to reveal for the first time the deformation of a planet, by the attraction effect it undergoes because of its star. The rare bird, dubbed WASP-103b, is located in the constellation of Hercules, a very modest distance of about 1,800 light-years from the solar system, or about fifty times closer to its sun than Earth is. is of his. To the point of going around it in just 22 hours, compared to 365 days for our blue planet.
WASP-103b is thus subjected to a colossal tidal force which, failing to tear it, gives it its particularly rare form, far removed from a sphere. Scientists assume that like Jupiter, this planet has a solid core, enveloped in a liquid layer, surrounded by a gaseous atmosphere. But to clarify, they plan to get observation time with the James Webb Space Telescope.
