Good afternoon. Your live with me, Jenny, at Newsround HQ

:00:00.:00:11.

And I'm coming to you live from Wimbledon, on day one, with all the

:00:12.:00:18.

tennis action. Let's start with the story that

:00:19.:00:23.

caused international outrage. Three journalists put in prison for seven

:00:24.:00:27.

years in Egypt after being accused of spreading false news. David

:00:28.:00:31.

Cameron has called the decision "appalling." He's not the only one

:00:32.:00:36.

who has criticised the way Egypt has gone about things. These three

:00:37.:00:40.

journalists are facing a long time in prison. The Egyptian authorities

:00:41.:00:46.

accused them of spreading false news and supporting the Muslim

:00:47.:00:50.

Brotherhood, the group that was in charged in Egypt until 2013. The men

:00:51.:00:55.

work for Al Jazeera, based in Qatar, which broadcasts around the world.

:00:56.:01:00.

It is banned from operating in Egypt because Egyptian authorities claim

:01:01.:01:03.

it has broadcast reports that support the Muslim Brotherhood. The

:01:04.:01:07.

three men have always denied the accusations. We have tried to give a

:01:08.:01:13.

fair and balanced picture of what is going on in Egypt. It is infuriating

:01:14.:01:18.

to think that Egypt could go to this extreme to try and stop reporting,

:01:19.:01:24.

fair reporting in the country. The Prime Minister of Australia appealed

:01:25.:01:31.

for the men to be released. As an Australian journalist he would not

:01:32.:01:34.

have supported the Muslim Brotherhood, he would simply have

:01:35.:01:40.

reported on the Muslim Brotherhood and a free and vigorous media are

:01:41.:01:47.

good for democracy, good for security, good for stability.

:01:48.:01:50.

Egyptian officials say the Muslim Brotherhood is a dangerous

:01:51.:01:52.

organisation and that the journalists broke the law. The

:01:53.:01:55.

journalists say they will fight the decision to lock them up. For now,

:01:56.:01:59.

they are stuck in this high-security prison. Moving on. In the last hour

:02:00.:02:03.

the lawyer for a woman in Sudan, who had been put in prison for refusing

:02:04.:02:09.

to change religions say she has been set free. Meriam Ibrahim made

:02:10.:02:13.

headlines last month when she was put in prison while pregnant. She

:02:14.:02:21.

was put in jail for refusing to her dad's religion, Islam. The country

:02:22.:02:24.

has reversed its decision after criticism from around the world.

:02:25.:02:28.

Now, it is the very first day of Wimbledon. One of four major tennis

:02:29.:02:32.

tournaments each year and Andy Murray has already been in action.

:02:33.:02:37.

Ricky is there with all the latest. Thank you very much. Yes, it has

:02:38.:02:41.

been another busy day. It has been incredibly exciting. I have been

:02:42.:02:45.

enjoying watching all the tennis action on day one. Earlier today you

:02:46.:02:50.

would have seen on Murray Mound loads of people watching the action.

:02:51.:02:54.

They were here to see Andy Murray's first match. He was playing Darren

:02:55.:03:01.

Gough and Murray won the match -- Goffin. Murray won the match. He's

:03:02.:03:06.

on his way to regaining that title. Can he go all the way? I have spoken

:03:07.:03:11.

to some kids to find out what they think of Murray. I think he has good

:03:12.:03:17.

chances. I am not sure if he'll win though. I think he'll win it. Of

:03:18.:03:22.

course he will! I don't think he will. Nadal is playing so well that

:03:23.:03:28.

he's, I think he's going to get to the semis. Is he a big deal in the

:03:29.:03:34.

States? Yes. A lot of people know him and a lot of people want him to

:03:35.:03:38.

win as well. He's one of the best players out there. What is so good

:03:39.:03:41.

about him? Everything. The way he hits it. Everything he does is good.

:03:42.:03:47.

Come on, Andy! Andy Murray is a big pull for fans.

:03:48.:03:52.

John Watson is with me now. Andy Murray - was it a confident win

:03:53.:03:56.

today? Definitely. To come through in straight sets - that is good. He

:03:57.:04:00.

can conserve energy. The first two sets he took easily. The third was

:04:01.:04:04.

more difficult. He proved too strong in the end. What about the draw - a

:04:05.:04:10.

good one? He will avoid some of the big names until later in the

:04:11.:04:14.

competition. Avoiding any major upsets it will be a Djokovic

:04:15.:04:19.

semi-final and Nadal in the final. We have lost a couple of BRITS

:04:20.:04:24.

today. Yes -- Brits today. Yes we have.

:04:25.:04:28.

We lost James Ward - disappointment for him. There are seven British

:04:29.:04:34.

players playing in total today. Fingers crossed we could have more

:04:35.:04:41.

joining Andy in the second round. Make sure you watch Wimbledon

:04:42.:04:45.

tomorrow. For now, it is back to you, Jen. There's absolutely loads

:04:46.:04:49.

of stuff on Wimbledon on the website. You can find out what makes

:04:50.:04:54.

Wimbledon different and test yourself with some top tennis

:04:55.:04:57.

quizzes. That is all I have time for today. See you tomorrow. Goodbye.

:04:58.:05:18.

It's official. Some people just don't get it. Blah, blah, blah.
