an associate professor of social psychology at mississippi state university and she joins us now on skype from start for thanks for being with us and are numerous health experts now have criticized the confused messaging when it comes to this pandemic in the u.s. can you give us a read of where it is that moment do people know what they need to do to protect themselves and others. well that's a hard question i mean it's hard to know exactly what everybody knows i would like to recommend and like to put out there that i believe the majority of individuals are aware of the virus being a problem being serious and necessary steps that are needed such as social distancing and masts as being important can mean so much of this debate as we've watched it unfold in the u.s. has become so politicized to so some distance whether to a mosque reopen schools and i see that anthony found she has been conspicuously absent from white house briefings of late who do the public trust that. i think a lot of the public still does trust. as well as who in the c.b.c. but a lot of the information in the problems

where we might have preferred to have at someone face to face leaders in the industry such as zoom and skype names that we've come to know now have profited well from the pandemic but so have smaller companies who have seized the opportunity to develop new ways of keeping in touch. a man like you and it's photo time in the nursing home garden stuff will send this picture of the base to her relatives via digital platform called me oh. i'm happy i hope it turns out well. the photographs videos and text messages allow cliff talk to a base to keep track of how his mother who suffers from dementia is doing and how she's spending her days. this is your kind of message she's consciously sending me it's taken by the care workers so for me it's just a little highlight trying to highlight. stuff at the nursing home are glad to be able to share information on the vents over a meal. many residents aren't in a position to communicate on their own via social networks what's more i'm also the one big difference concerns data security but what is up for example is a little bit ambiguous when it comes to thi

government and he's joining us on skype from chamonix in france we appreciate your time thank you very much indeed one would imagine that the companies knew that there was a risk that this ruling would come into place presumably they have some sort of replacement system in mind. so at the moment. and if you are cool. and standard tools it's your contention your contacts tonight it's not so actually a great situation for a company using it is simply provided by the start of the u.s. and probably have. adequate contracts in place will ensure people will be receiving those contracts at the time being. and you know i imagine the u.s. companies like we've just seen mr dyckman coming in must be making plans to. take action in the last few years we've seen lots of them during that anyway. story based companies on data centers is there a risk that this is going to lead to a more piecemeal level of monitoring of the system i mean that the if i understand it correctly the position of at least gave the opportunity for a single. mechanism if you like that could be monitored constantly but are comp

journalist and also the vice president of taiwan's foreign correspondents club he joins us now via skype from taipei william let me start by asking if you're surprised by these events when it comes to mr sure. this is actually not a very surprising move ever since he published those series of articles criticizing of the chinese government is handling of the agenda make it has been a looming at the back of many of the chinese observers mind that there will come a point when the chinese government decides to act and do to rest him he has been very outspoken since 28 in criticizing the abolishment of the presidential term and also later on other serious moves that xi jinping has been trying to do to consolidate his power and he's articles and consider as one of the most authoritative critique on the chinese government in those who seek to solve why samus to show his friends have also certainly not been surprised at all and mr scherer himself kept to a bad with close on the truth brushing on the front door for when they came for him i think had also been barred from teaching at a very promin

my life has moved to zoom and to skype in the digital platforms. we used talk about it, but now we are doing it. 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 for people to get that covered. but there is a worry that that will fall back. how much of this new world we have entered into of health consultations and health online is going to remain and remain paid for under our system after we move past, at some point, god willing, the covid era. secretary azar: this pandemic has led to a lot of innovation in health care through the president's leadership the , national emergency authority to be able to waive some of the embedded requirements that have ossified and kept the health care in a 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

we go back to hong kong now we're joined on skype by the chairperson of the international affairs committee of the democratic party emily lau always a pleasure to have you with us we were just looking at some live pictures of people still out there protesting on the streets at 6 pm in hong kong would you say this even maybe been a level of a success today the fact that the law is in place but people still got out there and made their voices heard well i think we expect. hong kong people some of them are not going to be intimidated but of course they are really frightened and they actually want to get out of hong kong so we have all kinds of people here but there are those young and old who are determined to fight and to defend our free lifestyle and so maybe one independence i don't think too many of them do but we want to defend their style and we want beijing and not to remain on the promise of one country 2 systems well according to beijing they're not i mean we were talking to katrina you about it there and we've heard from kerry as you keep saying it this is nothing is changing well ho

taiwan foreign correspondents club i was reported extensively from hong kong and he's joining us on skype from taiwan as always thank you very much indeed for being with us why is it that hong kong seems so important to international media particularly. so hong kong has been serving as the window for international media outlets into china for its decades because of its high degree of autonomy and also its respect for freedom of press has a very long tradition of respecting a diversifying its press freedoms and that has been used as a very important way for the international audience to really learn about china through the kooris been based in hong kong in recent in recent years we have seen incidents where journalists are being expelled on the grounds of either supporting but hosting were independent politicians during the 8 public talks and this time around at the new york times has in fact a confirmed one of its staff who used to work in china was tonight to reveal all of that's what bees are up by the hong kong authorities just recently so that the new york times to decide that they be

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
