media research a dylan that macklemore he joins us live from little rock arkansas via skype sir thank you so much for joining us here on al-jazeera so the interview aired in full on the fox news channel on sunday morning in the u.s. few hours ago now what would you say its impact has been certainly it's playing a lot on twitter but generally speaking. thank you for having me and i think it's a very significant event because of where it happened because it aired on the fox news channel this is conservatives as far as television goes this is where conservatives in america go for news pew research study found overwhelmingly that it's the only broadcast or cable television network that conservatives trust they watch it in large numbers and so to hear chris wallace challenge donald trump in a way that has not been challenged on that network previously that could come as a bit of a shock and we'll see how they react to it in addition to the traffic it's getting it through other media outlets that might find people more critical of trump to begin with because we often speak about trump's bas

on the resumes 250 highly qualified candidates and from there roughly 30 that they interviewed over skype it's almost like what a lot of us are seeing now with covid and a video interview then nine of us were brought to ithaca because it's a joint project with university of hawaii with a food study that was the main push and when they get bored the same food over and over. that was a major aspect of our mission. in the attempt to have us work together and maybe that made a difference but all people broadened would have been great. at a certain point you get people who are really interested in you feel like this is someone i want to spend four months wit with. >> at the same time it's like make-believe. you are all pretending to be on a mission are there moments that you goof off we are just kidding or did you maintain the strategy all the time? four months is a long time to spend with reality. >> we had a lot of things helping with the isolation. one of those was the fact our communication was delayed by 20 minutes each way. we couldn't have phone call home no real-time internet. no socia

my life has moved to zoom and to skype, the digital platforms. health care is there. we have the ceo of tele doc joining us in a bit. i think there's a lot of nervousness out there among some people that have been getting health through new media, new mediums. they are getting coverage through things you have laid out. but there is a worry that that will fall back. how much of this new world we , healthered into consultations and health online is going to remain and remain paid for under our system after some point, god willing, the covid area -- era. mr. azar: this pandemic has led to a lot of innovation in health care through the president upon leadership, the national emergency authority to be able to waive some of the embedded kept aments that have 1960's style of delivery. we have been able to break through that with the regulation. telehealth is something we wanted to do for so long, but congress has been unable to change the act to make medicare and medicaid available for telehealth. i have been traveling all over the country. i visit with doctors and hospitals

i'll take barack obama over skype or zoom or anything else. when you look at the young people taking to the streets right now, african-americans, whites, as well as asians and latino americans, the youth energy, that looks an awful lot like the youth core. we saw them pull back in 2016. we saw they will pull back in 2016 and it was a margin of, a difference in hillary clinton losing in most of these battle ground states. i think he can speak to them in a way that no one else, they were more obama voters than democratic voters. >> which goes to -- >> which goes to something that i don't want to be misheard. obama and trump have very little overlap. they represented appeals are far wider than the party they're associated with. a little tougher question coming out of it. when we economy. >> the hope of a skinny kid with a funny name who believes america has a place for him, too. our union can be perfected. what we've already achieved gives us hope for what we can and must achieve tomorrow. >> we in fact all share the same proud type. the most imp

economist heidi shierholz joined me to talk via skype. welcome back. heidi, nice to have you back. it's been a few weeks since we've spoken. so i'd like to start with an assessment, the cares act. give me an assessment of how you think it has provided aid for families, how it's impacted the economy. heidi: i think the way to sum up the cares act is that it was really good and it wasn't enough. so a couple of things that it did that were really great was that it expanded unemployment insurance benefits in a couple of ways. it expanded the the set of people who are eligible for unemployment insurance benefits and it increased the benefits that people get. those have been incredibly important to making sure people who have lost their jobs in a pandemic through no fault of their own are being able to make it month to month. but one of the problems with that is some of those provisions are set to expire in about two weeks. soledad: so let's go to that. those benefits, 600 additional dollar payment, as you mentioned, set to expire in the end of july. give me a sense of how much of a diff

new jamming there joining me now via skype from beijing is one of experimenting to deng xiaoping's former translators and director of the china national association of international studies fix a gal thanks so much for coming back on do you not believe your phone former colonial masters britain have the right to criticize human rights in china i think britain has the right to do whatever it wants by a need to really consider what's the impact on the fundamental interest of the british people and if what it comments on constitutes an interference in channels domestic affairs then definitely there will be dire consequences of these are arguably empty threats and you're echoing there what the ambassador said that there might be consequences even when nato destroyed the chinese embassy in yugoslavia china said there would be consequences china never does anything except some harsh words briefly and then are probably retire what what is china's position going to be as a sanctions are applied as individual sanctions may be applied by the british foreign office and of course as chinese companies

off or more of this we can speak to chris smith is a consultant for all adjust and joins us live via skype from cambridge search thank you for joining us here on al-jazeera do you agree with boris johnson the u.k. prime minister when he says that there are signs of a 2nd wave in europe. well i think what the prime minister is getting at is that if you look at the figures for antibodies in the population the best estimates we have and it has been tricky to measure how immune everybody is is that about 95 percent of the world's population remain vulnerable to corona virus infection in other words they haven't been infected yet i know i'm one of them i tested my antibodies i haven't got any and that means that we're like a john wood pile which is just waiting to go up in smoke if given the opportunity in other words give the virus a chance it will come surging back so i do understand where he's coming from when he's pointing to the fact that we remain vulnerable the virus hasn't gone away we're rather like a public car sort of parked on a hill with the brake on and if we take the brake off be

the head of policy analysis at the arab center for research and policy studies and he joins us now on skype via here in doha marwan given its involvement in the region can you talk us through what russia's game plan is here. well i think the national says they intervene militarily in syria in support of the 2015 they have been using civilians in fact as a bombing chip within the national community in order to to get concessions but it's got a concession if you remember in 20152016 the russians are deliberately bombing civilians in order to push bismuth thousands more syrians as if he is towards europe in order to force the european union to change its position on the syrian conflict so i think if this is not a stranger to do it from the russians actually when they use that he door now yes that yesterday or over the last few hours actually in order to do that in many. many american isms which have been named plays for the boston 6 years i think in this general cajun that i shan't is offering actually to because you know i mean the united states has just. approved. and their fans have got fur

unexpected shutdowns terry tozer is an airline safety commentator and former pilot joins me now via skype from rye in sussex in england good to have you with us on the program i mean significant statement and one that will concern all of the airlines that own and sly the 737 new generation. yes indeed i mean it's going to cause a bit of frantic activity i imagine i mean fortunately this road down the line aviation 'd will help a little bit in as much as it is only across the stores that are affected. and it's not as if it's a major structural erosion issue here with us lead arrow in the engine which should be possible to rectify fairly easily the u.s. authorities are sort of talking valves that of corroded but i presume that would apply to any aircraft that's generally been parked up for months old days and as a pilot what do you have to do when you conduct those safety checks before a plane takes off or what conversations do you have with ground stuff and engineers . but very often you don't talk to the engineers unless there's a known problem you would expect that any aircraft that was

a defense and military analyst and is a columnist from for novi i guess it's and he's joining us on skype from moscow thank you very much indeed for giving us your time 1st of all with regards to this meeting on the treaty are we expecting any decisions or any directions from this. well this is some of the finality in the treaty itself there is a cause that people as some state decides to abrogate as the mccombs decide that they should be in the months time a conference of the other members of the treaty to decide what to do moscow has officially said that they don't expect any breakthroughs but the same than russia kind of wants to mobilize either countries across the well european countries through or not you were a bit on the trump decision and they won this kind of see how much moscow can actually turn other european allies of the united states against the united states in this particular issue but maybe and others too and this also moscow says it wants to do some kind of cost to be put in a sense that the united states ashura to eads on the ground but plenty to. test being this is de

chills the director for the national center for disaster preparedness at columbia university is via skype from manchester connecticut thank you so much for being with us on al-jazeera so we've had this new warning today from the w.h.o. do you think countries will heed this warning or you know do they still try to w.h.o. or to lead them out of this crisis always every country simply doing what they think is best for them. you know i would hope that countries heed this warning and the w.h.o. is absolutely right that we need to follow the evidence and we need to have a really robust layered implementation strategies to keep the disease transmission as low as possible but a lot of countries including the united states have chosen to maybe take out their failures on the w.h.o. as well as to highlight some shortcomings that have you h.-o. as an excuse for not getting the job done at home and unfortunately that is going to be measured in lives lost because of his missed opportunities to prevent the spread and to reduce the spread as we see it climbing in the united states we have presidential i'

near university he joins us on skype from new delhi. welcome to the new why are we seeing a lot of spots in certain regions and in certain cities now in india. that's been the defining feature of right from the beginning when it was concentrated. in the key metropolitan areas also the international airports this was in a sense expected it continued to get entrenched in the very high density population locations in these metropolitan areas including some of the older parts of the city as well as some of the high density low income parts and as was expected particularly with the easing of the lockdown it put right is both in these metropolitan areas are large urban areas as well as the indian states that it was initially low but it was expected to grow and that's what for example the situation in bihar is as was shown in an earlier segment of this news are does that mean that where we are today with this new 1000000 figure represents an open health challenge but that may spread to become a rural health challenge as well yes true don't ent

knott who is a professor of neuro psychopharmacology at the imperial college london is joins us via skype now from iron bridge thank you so much for being with us how worried should people who have been you know who've recovered who have beaten the coronavirus how worried should they be about the long term health of their non term health what what do we know and what don't we know when it comes to the effects the long term effects of call the 90. well we don't know very much but we do know that some people will have long term negative impacts on their brain in terms of neurological changes like impaired taste in parents well impaired concentration and some people will end up having disorders like depression and p.t.s.d. post-traumatic stress disorder as a consequence of the virus so the message is very clear if you're not making a quick recovery start to seek help because we need to get these kind of people into trials as soon as possible right at the corner of ours has largely been considered a respiratory disease but a number of studies from around the world have found a prevalence of n

is a consulting fellow a chance and houses africa program joins be on skype from london good to have you with us i mean on the surface it might just seem like it's another yet another demonstration across africa but are these demonstrations in west africa more unique than we give them credit for. well there is a very very long tradition in west africa of mass public demonstrations people power if you like in favor of political change or in order to exert real pressure on the governments it's important to remember that although there are flaws in the democratic systems of most west african countries almost all of the countries in the region are functioning democracies so people have a culture of believing that it's in their right to make changes to. the political system to choose their leaders through the ballot box and when they feel of that process is being frustrated or alternatively when they feel that the leaders that they have elected and not up to the mark sometimes they will get out into the streets and this is a region where a back at the beginning of the 1990 s. democracy wa

so the international air transport association he joins us now live via skype from geneva good to have you with us bryant does the pandemic spell the end of air transport as we've come to know it how many more airlines are going to go under before things return to normal. i think you very difficult situation. we're just not seeing international who own any travel at the moment business is so low airlines are pulling back service demand is still very weak because because of the crisis we see governments very reluctant to not do so which sectors and types of airline are going to be worst hit those who fly mainly short haul or long haul koreas. i know it's long haul. they're going to suffer the most i mean we're we're we're seeing some travel want to mystic markets we're seeing some travel corridors for instance in in europe so there's a little bit of international travel so a short haul point to points in travel services you know the ones that are working at the moment that the airlines are really struggling at the ones that rely on connecting passengers feeding passengers into their hea

lecturer in politics and international studies at the university of cambridge and she's joining us on skype from london thank you very much indeed for being with us how significant is it the saudi arabia is on this list was a departure for the u.k. because it's been quite careful about how it's handled the relationship with. mohamed bin some on the crown prince of saudi arabia. commercial relations that have a great deal to do with the amount of arms sales that the u.k. depends on and therefore it's been quite careful about commenting on the yemen war and about the show the. people that have been as it's been part of the killing so this is come as somewhat of a departure because foreign secretary dominic robb when he was making this statement earlier said we can engage with countries and make sure human rights issues are not airbrushed that's when he was talking about saudi arabia now is that somewhat optimistic well certainly it cuts down their opportunity to take that these issues and close door settings for example has in the past been the excuse if you will that's been used as to why gr

epidemiology at the university of alabama at birmingham and he's joining us from birmingham alabama via skype thank you very much indeed for giving us your time sir if it is looking as though this corona virus is airborne what significance does that have in terms of how people should be dealing with it but of course also the search for a vaccine. you have to start thanks for having me the i think the airborne is not quite clear the extent and i think that's important i think that the large droplet transmission within 2 meters is still the most important road of transmission and what's being talked about now is the possibility of airborne transmission in some circumstances especially having to do with ventilation systems and we know that there were transmission happens in the hospitals due to the types of the equipment that they have there but really the implication is in terms of the type of person or protective attire and devices that would be needed to work combat or in other words the end 95 respirators are indicated and most are very expensive and hard to come by right now masks that are

marcus is also a founding partner of brigham mcadam a london based investment bank joins me now via skype from london good to have you with us on the program mr swenson global economies have taken a huge hit because of the unprecedented circumstances around covert 19 the falls were expected but the degree to which they fall that should most probably worry economists. well i think so but you know most of the the consensus was actually higher than the number today so you know the consensus was 35000000 and a consensus on initial jobless claims is 1.45 so both numbers came in in a little lower i'm not that worried about the g.d.p. number because it's a lagging indicator everyone expected it you know and and obviously it was weighted toward the 1st month of the quarter which was april the claims numbers a little more troubling but also that a perspective there is as important you know that they did tick up 800000 but the the actual employment rolls have not shrunk that much recently so the trend is still pretty good i mean the last week or 2 yes there was a little bit of a lag due to the regi

twist sergei magnitsky and is the head of a cable and its kate justice campaign he joins us now via skype from london thanks very much indeed for being with us see how significant do you see this move and. well i've been working on this campaign to get magnitsky act passed in the united kingdom for 10 years. we've we've fought and struggled with multiple governments both labor and conservative and after 10 years we finally had a breakthrough which was today and so i view it as a huge milestone i think it is a huge development way beyond the magnitsky case to. is basically the new technology for the british government and other governments to apply it towards atrocities and human rights abuse and why do they have done it now. well part of it is very personal as you mention in your report dominic rabbit was someone who i met 8 years ago i explained to him the case of the evidence of what happened in syria magnitsky and he was so shocked and appalled by the story that he took it on as his personal mission and since then he's been shepherding it through multiple parliaments multiple governmen

an associate fellow a chance and houses asia pacific program joins us now via skype from norfolk in the u.k. good to have you with us on the program again mr wyman that he really is being turned upon china and asia and we presume they will be ready to retaliate the larger question is how. well we are still waiting to see i mean yes they add make noises. as far as the pay is good. that you know the we are we will be responsible for their. outcomes the consequence is a lot of our actions but they haven't yet as far as i know maybe quite well those consequences will be although i guess they will be probably targeted like profile u.k. businesses to make like was more difficult but there have been dealings with hong kong and china when there are diplomatic spens between countries we often see this issue of consular offices or conceal a stand being closed or moved what's your analysis of this particular situation between the british the americans and the chinese and houston. well i mean the american is saying that it isn't it. can turn activities. that were directed at industrial essentially

fellow at the national university of singapore leon huge universe school of public policy and is via skype from singapore thank you so much for being with us this is quite a significant constant that beijing decided to close in retaliation to the closure of its mission in the us what do you make of the response 1st of all do you think it's a proportionate one. i think china's acted with a degree of her strange here and the decision to close the chengdu consulate on their part was both reciprocal and i think proportional and is part of diplomatic signaling that's going on between 2 countries who are very genuinely dissatisfied with the state of their bilateral relationship so i think the upshot of this is that even though this seems like a very dramatic act it's still one where both sides are demonstrating a degree of her strength it's controlled and it's proportional so this is much better than alternative scenarios where one side or the other could act way out of proportion to the fact of the other which makes it much harder to walk back and improve the relationship when sentiments change

bruna straight to is the chief economist at lakefield partners joins us now via skype from jericho and of course the interesting thing when you look at these figures is the divergence in the impact of the virus in juice lockdowns on the economy you have a country like spain doing a lot worse than say germany what does this suggest about the the shape of the pace of economic recovery in the or isn't. well good evening i think what it does say 1st of all is the medical impact it has broken 3 clearly the countries that went into the toughest lockdown are also seeing the biggest negative impact on their economy and germany had a very good strategy in containing the virus as much as possible and it's been hope is the real sort of the big tears and the images from madrid and on top of that the way that the economy is composed is clearly different spain generates about 16 percent of their g.d.p. out of tourism which equates to about $160000000000.00 was germany is much less effective immediately it will have secondary effect in the car industry in the airlines in the airbus for example but it

your views on this andrea fedorov is a former deputy foreign minister of russia joining us there from skype we apologize for the poor connection maritime sankey so much for your time now the coronavirus crisis send us president donald trump us we did a photo of himself in a mask calling it patriotic as far as months of mixed messages on whether he believed they were an essential tool to prevent the spread of call the 1900 as bring in kimberly hark at our white house correspondent so kimberly a change in tone from the president perhaps offering his strongest endorsement yet for wearing masks. many arguing though it's coming much much too late as the number of corona virus cases in the united states continues to surge 140000 dead now in the united states more than 3800000 americans infected and we're seeing a majority of us state showing record breaking surges in terms of the number of people that are being infected on a daily rate now the u.s. president as you point out has been criticized as the administration criticized for sending mixed messages for not showing more leadership on this par

research council and co-author of the council's weekly report on deaths in south africa joins me now via skype from cape town good to have you with us live on al-jazeera we just begin with the figures coming out of south africa worrying yes but such a large discrepancy compared to past years how concerned are you about the way deaths are being counted. hi good evening to you and your your viewers. we are tracking of the medical research council we've been tracking 3 the number of deaths total deaths which we can separate into those from national corps and those from we unnaturally accidents and homicides and we will plotting it against what we will expect from previous years and you know we're not surprised we know there's a coronavirus around and it's. certainly sitting in in the western cape province you can carry a gun carting are and the numbers of days we have seen in the last few weeks have been rising well above the previous year's numbers. we think that's a little bit alarming to us is in the in some of the provinces we quite a big discrepancy between the official code confirmed deaths

and the former director of global engagement in the white house and president obama joins me now via skype from alexandria in virginia good to have you with us mr brune on the program i mean how much of this meeting seems to be in a sort of a close joint equal partnership with washington and london both being on the same page or was it really a well choreographed dance with pompei leading well i think it was an effort by the u.s. and the u.k. to put to bed some of the strains and the stress that has been on that special relationship over the course of the last few years and the u.k. desperately needs merica backing as they exit the european union to show that they are still a relevant and the important power on the world stage and they can really only do that if they regain that special relationship with the united states so this issue in the anwar way was in large part in effort to throw a bone to the americans and say we're with you ok well then much of the charge was or may have been well considered all proportionate in its response in terms of the suspension of the extradition treaty w

chris smith is an editor with a radio show the naked scientists he joins us now on skype from cambridge thank the a time as always chris so different countries obviously different stages of dealing with this pandemic localized lockdowns happening in different parts of the world but are we still in the 1st wave. well the the fact is this that the vast majority of the world's population remain susceptible to this infection the best data we have based on antibody tests suggests that more than 95 percent of the nearly 8000000000 people on earth currently have not had this virus therefore they remain susceptible so it's debatable whether in the 1st wave the 2nd wave or this is all just one giant thing that's going to continue to grumble arm it's being heavily colored by or influenced by the lock down because what that did is obviously to chop off the ability of the virus to spread at the knees and suppressed spread in certain territories a lot but obviously as we now relax those restrictions we're now affording the virus more chances to spread again and so what we're going to see is it re ga

let's talk to voice axis of the ski he's editor in chief of the security insight is joining us on skype from warsaw thank you very much indeed for being with us to what extent was the narrowness of the margin by which due to a one a surprise no it was not a surprise we knew that the race is going to be very close all the polls the last polls that were announced before election silence on friday indicated that just asking of them not only it is not only marginal or so they've got to do that doesn't come as a surprise that much especially also that it also is also narrow and the difference between the 2 is. is it has just been. given the amount of opposition that seems to have had at least in terms of this election are we likely to see him and his party changing or modifying their their plans for the next few years. no p.a.'s government laid low in terms of its ambitions to change the country and. introduce several legislative changes to the judiciary system to media n.g.o.s and local governments of the last 2 years which which had the number of election and in which the p.i.a.'s wanted t

winer is a former united states senior diplomat and former special envoy to libya joins me now via skype from washington d.c. good to have you with us on the program i mean the fact that the 2 main supporters of the 2 main factions are speaking in agree to a framework to move forward is encouraging but they're only talking about sort of a sustainable ceasefire not a long term way out of this bloody conflict. well they both have got in thousands of mercenaries into libya to fight the war and if turkey and russia decide to stop the fighting and have their mercenaries no other fight or withdraw from the church or leave the country oh that's going to be a good thing for libyans do need to get together and negotiate this state a way forward with the u.n. process that's what needs to happen this is a good step over russia and turkey started all this to the very beginning of the year 6 months later it still hasn't happened if it is the sort of step in the right direction where do you start talking from because in terms of the timeline the d.n.a. backed by turkey say have to the should return ba

is a summary my bedroom's lawyer he's joining us on skype from london we appreciate your time sir thank you very much indeed can i ask you 1st of all what it is that can do about her case in the u.k. that she is unable to do from where she is at the moment well the moment she's in a refugee camp in syria and has no direct access. she has no secure communications which it offends against the idea that a person speak freely with wars without repercussions. the conditions she's in fall below the standards of minimum human wants in law school to know all he wants so there's a there's a lot isn't there leaves to be desired really about how she's supposed to be engaged in that process from a refugee camp in the middle of a war zone is currently under technically. a certain troll is it necessary for her to come back to the u.k. or coach and travel to another country and do it from there. well and some of the leaders speaking the issue is well which country would take somebody in these circumstances where the u.k. government has expressed this strong ones are not to have. been about this is abo

it was a fearsome is an astrophysicist she joins us from bristol via skype thank you very much for being with us so that the 3rd mission to mars in 11 days what would you think stands out particular about this one. with the perseverance rover and mars 2020 as a whole it's the beginning steps of something that planetary scientists have been trying to do for decades since we 1st trying to get try to get going to mars back in the seventy's which is to bring samples back to earth where we can study them on earth and i think that's the bit that makes this particular mission really exciting the fact that we're finally beginning that process of bringing these samples back to earth so to the collective it is that which bit of it is more difficult the collecting of it all the bringing them back it's putting them back is probably going to be the trickiest bit that's actually going to probably require at least 2 missions maybe more but i think the current plan is to have 2 separate spacecraft go out there so what perseverance is going to do is it's going to go around and scoop up rocks and dust put

facetime, skype, zoom, like what we're doing right now. you can stay connected. it's very possible. most connections are important. we are social critters and we need that connection. i think for people who don't have those options, pull up photos, take a look at pictures of family. you need to stay connected. and it's very important. >> and finally, do you have any suggestions that are specifically for families? >> yeah. well, again, i think one of the interesting things that's come about from all of this, is i talked to families on video is they're obviously spending more time together. while it's a bit awkward, particularly for parents who are in the house working a lot. it's a chance to really deepen relationships and spend more good, quality time together. i think parents really need to step back and kind of plan their day a little bit. not micro manage it, but have some ideas. can the family play games together? a lot of people i talked to, they're even together as a family for the first time. so i think there are a number of things that people can do. i think it is qulaouzful

o 2 from the atmosphere he's been in germany for nearly a year he keeps in touch with his family on skype gabriel's flight to kenya has been cancelled 3 times. and it will depend on how. and how things are in kenya for the time being i'm. excited to do. and we hope that when the flights get back and i'm able to travel. and reka can relate. she'll keep on learning from the experienced team while she waits to return to india the longer she stays on the island the more she thinks about her darjeeling in northeast india. i am very worried when i think about india. situation my hometown has been put back under lockdown completely. because the case is lost and so high and. the hospital. at least they have company 6 more students at the institute are also stuck on the island. to this most do you know of course everyone wants their child to come home but you to the current coronavirus situation in many countries some of our students families are happy for every day they are able to spend here. anyway since on the open sea there are always places to be trapped but for the students there's still no

general dogs that clown who is a brazilian affairs political analyst and an author he's joining us on skype from sao paulo thank you very much indeed for being with us given the fact that the president had been determined not to wear a mask right out of the all of this and had a little bit as a little flu is it any surprise that he's got it well surprising that it took so long there were some rumors in march he my had a virus he did some tests in the air force hospital those exam results were not released the recent struggle between journalists to get hold of those results but he tested positive yesterday and then confirmed it again this morning so you know a you know he saw that coming just as you're talking to us there's another we're looking at pictures that have been fed to us from brazilian t.v. and the president is again taking off his mask but indicating that he is maintaining some sort of social distancing obviously in the we're not getting a translation on this this is what i'm assuming that he's doing this puts the president president in a pretty difficult position doesn't it. wel

want to look more at the situation in brazil we've got all of us don't go with us on skype from sao paulo. want to talk to you about these developing countries and how they deal with the pandemic i should point out all of a professor of international relations that from the south at the vatican in brazil so the challenges are that there are huge populations medical systems which were probably already under pressure or maybe not up to top sounded in the 1st place and then this swarm of cases that comes in and just keeps going i mean it was it was never going to be easy in these countries. well absolutely i think brazil is actually a case that shows the difficulty despite having in urban areas a fairly developed health system in rule areas it has been very very difficult large swaths of the country where it takes hours and hours to to reach an intensive care unit so and also a you know a system that makes it very difficult for people to stay at home a lot of people work in the informal economy so despite being aware of the risk of leaving a lot of people in brazil and across the developing

ministration he's joining us on skype from baku thank you very much indeed for being with us on. from us about john's point of view you taking part in any negotiations at the moment to try to bring this current fighting to an end. thank you 1st of all i will all due to my life the armenian minister at the house in this interview and he once again reiterated our mean u.s. policy of occupation and also to little claims against my country and everything started over so for me in europe armenia and i want to care about region and 7 and december as you saw it was a by john and conducted not tourist as nicklin singh that's in a cold fundamental cause of armenia azerbaijan or a kind of a conflict and also up to it was a great unit asks that question to armenia minister what armenian soldiers are doing on the sovereign soul of azerbaijan what do you also understand that us consulate in armenia beers falls as the chrism of 1000000 more azerbaijan is from going to car and therefore little is speaking armenia is a responsible country for the a list of occupation an additional present by joh

with david harrison someone who's a political economist on affairs he joins us live from brussels on skype in fact thank you so much for being with us david from an economic point of view of just how good and generous a deal is this economists have been predicting of course a recession far worse than anything since world war 2 because of the pandemic do you think this will soften the blow. well there's no question that what leaders are counting on here is a robust enough package that it really does send a reassuring message to the financial markets we know that that was clearly a concern when christine legarde the president of the european central bank weighed in surprise on sunday telling reuters that in fact leader should be given time to reach a good deal not to pressure them to send that message to the markets that in fact you know if the world wouldn't end if they didn't have an agreement yesterday that seemed to work the markets were calm today they come back with this agreement that will deliver quite a lot of money as countries start to make use of these recovery grants and if they

hearings i thanks a lot for that let's take this on we can speak to you know free to joins us live on skype from san francisco in california she's the chief tech correspondent and access. bezos tim cook all the big guns of the how important is it that these c.e.o.'s perform well or could they get it wrong there is an opportunity to get it wrong you know this hearing isn't likely to lead to new legislation in congress is it really passing much of anything but a lot of states and the federal government agencies are investigating and i think public perception does hang in the balance that said i think the format being recorded or broadcasting remotely versus being there live a lot of things away toward the side of them really having a good opportunity not to make a big mistake rugs most of them have testified before a poll from bessel something's not right that is correct and they've testified under more difficult situations i think the fact that all 4 are buying together actually makes it easier for them so it makes you wonder what's the point of this kind of here well i think different peopl

we skype him at the moment and our first visit will be at the end ofjuly. rachel says, my mum is 100 and we had to celebrate on skype and through the window. she keeps saying she feels as though the government had put her ina room as though the government had put her in a room and she has been forgotten about. i cannot wait to properly see her. another rachel says, there are people with learning disabilities who have not had visits from family or been able to go home. it is heartbreaking not being able to see them or hug them, especially when they cannot understand why. they just say home? you speak by the phone. one more for now, i saw my mum yesterday at a distance for only the second time since march the 8th. it has been so hard since she has multiple health problems and i thought i may never see her again. her care home took the courageous decision to lock down on the 11th of march when they heard a local couple had tested positive upon returning from holiday in italy. i am so grateful to them for their leadership. they have had no cases and fewer bugs
