some perspective on this story now we have viral or just dr mohamed more near with us from lancaster university in the u.k. dr munir thank you for joining us 1st of all what does this mean for us if this virus can spread through this airborne airborne route. yeah well if it isn't economics by the world health organization that this white house can transmit to other people through the airport that mean of massive chain you know where daily life which is already pretty much distorted that means that we probably have to move their face masks indoor we have to work really effectively on to the ventilation and conditioning because your circulation indoor would probably mean higher exposure to the virus and we also probably need to think about commuting maybe trains and the buses need to be traveling within those open and so on so once it is it in a nice message and use it acquired ok so we're talking about even more precautions here that says it's still emerging evidence behind the spend more than 200 international scientists are convinced that this is true so why is the world health organization be

it at least what dr robert robert's a senior lecturer in critical digital media practice at lancaster university in the u.k. good to see you again robert there's been all our writing essentially in seattle in portland colorado if we just seen elsewhere as well you know we could do a dissertation as to why this is helping but what's the main reason this is happening knowledge you think. yeah you know donald trump. certainly is coming hard and american citizens who are doing what democracy is supposed to allow them to do which is to gather even dispute the government and its positions certainly the dispute here has been the organized targeting of african-americans and blacks in the us by police. the government is there to protect people so this is this is this is really getting out of control in some people's mind this is just the symptom and representation of the danger that's already existing many blacks in the united states and going out on the streets well it is very much playing out in the streets is that what you're talking about is that the peaceful protests because what we're seeing are im

run out of time a target to talk to there was talk to have many of her ologist at britain's lancaster university thank you. now while countries around the world to brace for a 2nd wave then of infections north korea has just marked its 1st suspected case the country's potential patients 0 was found with coded related symptoms in the border city of kosong which was locked down on friday afternoon north korea's state media claims it's a defector who fled 3 years ago but illegally crossed back over the border to the north early last week if if it is confirmed it will be north korea's 1st officially knowledged infection the country has steadfastly denied having any cases before this a claim that is widely being questioned by outside experts well a norwegian filmmaker he's made 2 documentaries in north korea told me earlier that blaming the potential infection on a real defector from the south to serve a purpose for. the north korean regime. almost never entirely get in the sea on a narrative of protecting the north korean people against the whole thought. such whether or not the. house called it or

lancaster in the u.k. mohammed moneer lecturer in variety at the university of lancaster in johannesburg henri's member of the strategic advisory group of experts on the covert $1000.00 vaccine and in hong kong john nicholls clinical professor in pathology at the university of hong kong a very warm welcome to all of you helen you are leading this vaccine trial in south africa how significant is the response that humans have had to the oxford vaccine. well in fact i'm not leading it very involved in the vaccine approvals and the science of vaccine research going on in south africa but in terms of your question it's been very interesting to see that there's been a very positive response from communities to enrolling in the backs you channel for the oxford vaccine there are 3 sites recruiting and that want to enroll 2000 people including 50 people living with hiv infection and people are really curing up to join the study now that's quite interesting in itself so i was wondering how you do get people involved in a trial you know well south africa is perhaps a little bit unique in the sense that we've been gra

claire: we can now speak to robert guccifer lancaster university and the u.k. book called "the trump presidency, democracy, and journalism." thank you for your time. for months, donald trump has it, why theying chchange of heart? robert: you know, there are a couple of things. one, you can only ignore the voice of silence for so long. we are seeing florida completely out of controrol, the south out of control with its numbers. that is where the numbers are. it is hard to speak against that, as the visuals are coming out of the graphs and expert scientists. the otheher thing that might be influencining the babacklash tht hihis own campaign might be facg from all of these people who are anti-massacres. they will gogo into walmart and target, displayeded -- destroy displays with masks, go intoto city councilil meetings and sayg that masks are a sign of slavery and oppression, and that patriots do not wear masks, only criminals. so these people who are getting caught on social media just raranting g and raving,g, whethy are right or not, they look a bit strange, so

the of their well that we discussed the story the doctor had them and there are only just at lancaster university he says there would have been no point in hacking any vaccine information as this isn't hidden and boy i think journal procedure for vaccine development are pretty standard most of the vaccine dollars are being developed now they are not on a hidden technology in the scientific community we do know every technology how it has been developed and how it can be used for different trials so therefore i don't think there is any hidden formation and the technology and the vaccine development it sounds the only thing probably that is not available is what is the outcome of the research or the trials which would ultimately become available therefore i don't really see any particular reason for attacking any information to be honest in the scientific community we do collaborate if anyone need any information they can contact the researcher and they will be happy to provide the information they need it how the vaccine has been constructed for example if someone needed an information from any re

to rise in other parts of south asia such as india mohammad money as if at all the just at lancaster university he's joining us on skype from there thank you very much indeed for being on al-jazeera so how much of this is this following this pattern that we seem to be saying going by the few stories we've just done that there is a relaxation of the lockdown restrictions and all of a sudden there is a spike in cases yes absolutely i think the major reason has been that the lockdown has been 1st up maybe leaky in majority of these countries and it has been for many short story and one of the thing that appears to be very disturbing at the moment is that most of the country people are having now very high level of 'd cases especially in latin america and in seoul he's case yet they have many high level of so if you would not make disparity which had been one of the contributing factor in not having access to healthcare system and also the capability that being raised at the government level so all in all it is certainly one of the major concern at this moment i don't think it is the 2nd of may it

we can speak now to dr muhammad munir, who is a virologist at lancaster university. now. looking at recent data we can see that the virus has been spreading through droplets and contaminated surfaces and also through airborne roots as well. so considering the possibility of an airborne route along with other route, a mask will reduce the chances of getting the infection and spreading it. all in all it is good to have it on. just reading the fa cts to have it on. just reading the facts here, this may not be pleasant, if you sneeze you can shed more than 30,000 droplets in a sneeze, ok? so if you sneeze and that travel six feet and you wear a face covering, how many of those droplets, roughly, that out?“ face covering, how many of those droplets, roughly, that out? if you sneeze you have 30,000 droplets and each droplet is size between five and 50 mu.. smallerthan each droplet is size between five and 50 mu.. smaller than that it is big enough to carry viruses. and when you sneeze within a face covering you will still shed some virus through that the spending on how st

a chat now, just going to grab a microphone, we can chat to the professor of economics at lancaster universityhe three months up figures relate to the three months up to the end of may, where we saw a decline in output over the previous three months of 19%. so that was a little bit better than the decline we saw last month, but it is still a very substantial downward turn stop in may, we still had retail close, people forget that now. people are used to the shops being open. retail was still closed. we wouldn't have expected a very big recovery in the month of may. so this light recovery of 1.8% that we have had during the month of may is a little bit encouraging. what does it tell us about how people's lives were actually playing out in that time?” think what we really have to look at is how this varies sector by sector. looking at the three—month figures, we had a collapse of 71% in hospitality, 29% in construction, 29% transport, 15% in manufacturing. these are big falls, but particularly hospitality, which of course has been the last of the sectors to start up again after lockdown. there a
