hello there, laurence, you have been taking a big look the role of these stories. let's start off with the lead story on the daily telegraph. patients are being told to stay at home if they get a mild virus. there is increasing worry about the impact on the nhs of this outbreak. absolutely, yeah. and i think concerns have been raised in the uk because obviously they had the first fatality of someone within the country, sort of yesterday. and of course we have the daily telegraph quoting the nhs‘s medical director with this advice which, actually, i don't think it's too far from what the original advice was a couple of weeks ago when it wasn't as much of a concern in the uk. which is essentially ring the nhs helpline when you talk about your symptoms and then someone is as actually it sounds like it is not that serious, so stayed home. clearly, if we see this sort of level of cases that have been seen, i know country such as italy, the stress on the nhs may be quite severe. the problem is of course many people, particularly older generations who feel they really are

i've got to stop you, laurence, because you are clearly a natural—born optimist, but donald trump callede other day. he closed flights from europe without even telling the europeans. you can hardly argue to me that we are seeing successful international co—ordination. he said that before he finally moved to sign the g7 communique, so you may see there a glimpse of hope. but more to the point, i think that you are right that this is also the sign of times. we have had trade tension, pressure on militarism, difficult international dialogue, and this is naturally reflecting in the fact that they have to do an extra mail and it is not as "natural" as it was in 2008 and 2009 to work together and act in a co—ordinated manner, but you say i'm an optimist, the fact that we have seen something with the g7, i think is a sign that this might be changing slightly in regard of the magnitude of the crisis we are getting across. all right. let's talk magnitude and let's not be optimist or pessimist but realists. i'm very mindful that just a few days ago, i believe it was march 2nd, you at the 0ecd issu

comment on individual cases but of course we have instruments for your friends for us as well laurence you discussion about what legal remedies the e.u. could use in cases where there are abuses to the institution of fatherhood were you sitting there talking so frankly you need to just interrupt our interview of point uses with friends. of course students. to address them oh so often has that happened this use of these clear instruments the revealed is indeed any fat hair so is it being used gently european social fund will not have any reports of such a reason to stop funding the director told us that member states do have to produce strategic documents when they want to e.u. funds we have been. following each stage of the development of the documents and pushing our member states to do it in accordance with un convention on the rights of the persons with disabilities you brought up the un c r p d which is obviously very significant very significant. benj now one contention is that the e.u. in funding group homes is not funding independent living it's funding many institutions which have

about individual choices and trying just to to delay it simple and flatten the curve as far as you can laurence the situation in london where you are with the health minister not in doris obviously she's put herself in quarantine now but what's the talk about the potential knock on effect about how many people she's been in touch with about the effect on the british government who. well i mean the times newspaper which reported this said and they got fully briefed on it said she that she'd been musta been in concert with hundreds of people over the period and that must be true but snitches junior health minister jobs to meet people they they should she started getting properly at the weekend on saturday in their constituency north of london but in the days before that when she was cleaning the basing it she'd been in the house of commons she'd been voting they're all very tightly packed together when they go to the voting lobbies she met the prime minister on thursday it's a international women's day event. and an opposition health minister orders shadow called call rachel maskell who met who m

laurence boone, i thank you very much forjoining me on hardtalk. hello, there.land that had the best of the day's bright weather, with some spells of sunshine coming through, for example in this weather watch picture from the aviemore area. it was not like that everywhere though. for england and wales, we've had a slow—moving weather front with us for a couple of days now, and that's been bringing some murky weather and outbreaks of light rain and drizzle. that front is this stripe of cloud you can see here. and it is this weather front that separates the mild but rather murky weather to the south, to the clearer, sunnier conditions, but colder conditions that we have across the north of the uk. now, over the next few hours, that weather front is still with us, bringing cloud and rain, murky as well across parts of the midlands, wales and southern counties of england, with some hill fog patches. but it is the cloud that stops it from getting too cold, so it's actually quite mild. temperatures for some at around eight celsius over the next few hours. whereas, fur

laurence boone in paris, welcome to hardtalk. thank you, thanks for the invitation. pleasure to have you on the show, your own president, president macron talks about a war. has country in the world being engaged in a war against coronavirus. do you see that actions are matching the words when it comes to trying to say that the world economy? there are actually three fronts on which we have two fight this battle. health, financial and social. with health, i think there could be more cooperation with the who because at the moment it is about data collection, provision of supplies, equipment, and testing. there seems to be a little black. 0n economic and finance, we are actually seeing a lot happening stopping many governments are putting in place measures to address the healthcare system, but also people to make sure they can support people to make sure they can support people during this virus as well and firms make sure that firms do not go under with the hardship that is going on at the moment. but there is this question of urgency, because you talk about individua

you for having me. >> thanks so much. let's dig into the constitutional questions. i'm joined by laurence tribe, author of the book "to end a presidency" the power of impeachment. thank you so much. appreciate your time tonight professor tribe. let's talk about whether or not this is even constitutional. i'm going to play for you first what governor cuomo has said about the this idea that donald trump believes he can quarantine three east coast states because of the coronavirus outbreak. take a listen. >> i don't believe that he could be serious -- that any federal administration could be serious about physical lockdowns of states or parts of states across this country. i don't believe it's legal. i think it would be economic chaos. i don't think the american people would stand for it. >> professor tribe, in short does president trump have the authority to quarantine states? >> certainly not in the constitution that i've read. and i've read it more than once. i think governor cuomo has it right. there is no broad authority on the part of the president of the united states to just target c

you. >> great point. damon, kate winslet and laurence fishburne recorded the messages.in his while winslet urges people the wash their hands like their life depends on it. and fishburne appeals for help for medical staffers on the front line. it explores a scenario in which a lethal and fast-moving virus is spreading around the world. i've seen it before. but true confession, a few weeks ago hen this started, i watched it again. it was eerily similar. the virus was much more instantly deadly in the movie. but the way it spread and the way people responded not dissimilar to what we're dealing with now. >> that's so interesting. it's nice that they're speaking out and kind of making things clear. that's a movie. this is real life. >> and taken very seriously. it's a great idea. >> yeah, dan. >> sometimes it takes a well-known name. i was going to say sometimes it takes a well-known name for face to get people's attention, especially at an importatime li. >> true. >> i think it only took them four months to get a vaccine in the movie, right? our timeline seems to be a lot

you ( cheers and applause ) ( laughter ) >> stephen: no-- worth it. warm this time of year. >> jon: i don't mess with that. >> stephen: constitutional law scholar laurencebe says the argument that only criminal offenses are impeachable has died a thousand deaths in the writings of all the experts on the subject, but it staggers on like a vengeful zombie. look, larry, you may not agree with the president's allies, but i think that the term "vengeful zombies" is a little-- oh. ( laughter ) oh. on the nose. on the nose. >> jon: oh, that thing right there. ( cheers and applause ) >> stephen: i object! but the ultimate insult against trump's defense brief is the allegation that it is "so weak he likely dictated parts himself." now, we don't know if this is true, but there is a hint of that in this section which resident, "the articles of impeachment now before the senate are an affront to the constitution. hello, i'll take a large meat- lover's pizza. extra meat. extra lover. bye. damn! i forgot the garlic knots!" ( laughter ) >> jon: you don't never get 'em. >> stephen: and here's the thing-- donald trump is taking none of this lightly. with his presidency

you can follow that via their website of course lawrence lee joins us live now from london so laurence bit of a contradiction going on here between how the u.k. government is handling handling all this and how other european governments are handling it. yes peter i mean is when it is one of those days i think i think today after all the chaos of yesterday were a thing there's a new reality basically down the sink in here in the u.k. and or in the continent as well as you mentioned but yes you can see the difference in in of in a country for example i garland where there the irish government in dublin and yesterday was shutting schools and universities and so on for 2 weeks yet in northern islands which obviously is under the u.k. jurisdiction everything stay open and there is a completely different interpretation of the science now going on between european union countries that are trying to follow italy's leads and get ahead of where italy was a few weeks ago by containing everything is as much as possible in the u.k. which is saying exactly the opposite of the argument here where sch

. >>> the epa have put out a list of products that you can use successfully against the virus, cleaning products, basically. stu laurencewith us, ceo of clean well. your products, they are not on that list from the epa, right? i mean, you are not approved, are you? >> thanks for having me, stuart. that is an emerging pathogen list that actually they recently this week put out an expedited application for that which we had filed for and i think in the coming days we will know and be on that list. it actually does not specifically point towards coronavirus but more emerging pat pathogens. stuart: you put out cleaning products, clean well, you use plant-based cleaners. right? plant-based. i don't get it. can you show me for sure that these things are effective? >> effective against coronavirus, no one can actually make that claim at this time. it's an emerging situation. our active ingredient has been around for centuries, derived from a plant, much like alcohol and other ingredients. stuart: how much are your sales up? >> i can't even put a percent to that right now. in february, we were reporting about a 400% lift. comin

as you would expect, the shock and outrage was immediate. liberal legal scholar laurence tribe denounced senator schumer. even chief justice roberts issued ra rare public rebuke, calling the comments not only inappropriate but dangerous. now, the simple end to this story would be that our colleague would apologize to justice gorsuch, justice kavanaugh, and to the american people. but instead of doing that, he has doubled down. his office has accused the chief justice somehow of bias and said that senator schumer was referring to republican lawmakers not the associate justices, as if inciting violence against senate lawmakers is acceptable in the wake of what happened to scalise. he named justices gorsuch and kavanaugh in his threat. when it caught an inevitable firestorm, he tried to mislead the american public what he said. pay the price. you won't know what hit you. those are not the type of statements we need from any elected official let alone from one of the highest ranking democrats in the country. nor are they a good example because others may be incited to take th

johnson just last week in a few moments katrina you will be bringing us the latest from beijing 1st let's take it to london and my colleague laurance lee laurence 19 doris they'll be clearly trying to track down everyone that she's had a meeting or a conversation with over the past 10 days or 2 weeks or so. and that's going to be hundreds of people because she's a government minister obviously part of daily job is to meet people she now said last night she says she's over the worst of it the simpsons she said came out properly on saturday when she was in her constituency north of london. and clearly for the days before that should we think the basing its during that period of incubation not only had she been voting in the house of parliament surrounded by obviously some 600 or more of the other members of parliament but on thursday as unsubtle women's day had been at an event in downing street and i'm being with the prime minister so it's clearly very serious because not just the dollars a government is of the heart of the government department that's at the forefront of trying to organize the u.k.'s response to the virus and peter one thing th

you just simply do not know at the moment. david avela, hold on a second, we have with laurence si simone. you're here. lauren: good morning. stuart: i want to talk to you because you have been out and about in manhattan and new jersey. i want to know if you see any visible signs of anxiety like less foot traffic in a mall, fewer people in the grocery store, more people in the grocery store buying stuff? lauren: i have actually looked at what people are buying in the grocery store to see are they stocking up on bottles of water or anything in particular. i would say just as they normally would. i have seen no big changes. i have not seen anybody wearing face masks. in some parts of manhattan, by asian people, yes, but i think you see that typically most of the time. at the toy fair last week, one woman out of the entire toy fair, wore a face mask. that was a big gathering in that space, international gathering, too. stuart: i understand in some grocery stores, costco, for example, preserved food, what's the right expression here? lauren: canned food. assi stuart: pasta, that kind of thing, selling very rapidly. children's me

laurence lay there he is in london with the latest updates from the u.k. and you're in johannesburg i mentioned this of africa with its 1st 2 deaths katrina you also with the latest from beijing starting though with this which you're well familiar with i'm sure the johns hopkins university virus tracker which puts the total confirmed cases well up over a 1000000 worldwide now with nearly 25000 deaths if you take a quick look at the map you can see the at the centers of china and europe but really the united states is the story now when we zoom in on north america and you can see how much more infection there is there as i said upwards of 85000 cases in the united states alone right let's start going around the world i will go with katrina you in beijing 1st of all she jinping offering his support to the united states in light of those numbers for a virus that has been called the virus. that's right so during this phone call president xi jinping called for greater cooperation across the world in fighting this pandemic and he vowed to work more closely with the u.s. he said that china had been acting responsibly in terms of dealing with the outbreak over the

middle laurence 3 al-jazeera township rakhine state myanmar with us now from bangkok when robinson who is a senior fellow at the institute of security and international studies. university nice to have you with us this. first of all our men in the buddhists. a good reminder as well that this is not just about. muslims they have a range of muslims out there other minorities who are under pressure. indeed i think this it's been a slow burning thing for many years but after this terrible expulsion of muslims from the state it left i mean it it really exposed tonight i think that paved the way for the for the showdown with saying between what are essentially 2 buddhist i mean they both buddhists the myanmar government forces and the what they call if nic rakhine who indigenous to the state came from there and what wants what they called a part of the kingdom so this is really a voters to put this clash and in a month things to complicate it you still have muslim or hindu refugees and some some of the remaining camps in rakhine so it's become an exceedingly complicated situation not to suggest and certainly not hope that things were to get as bad as they did previously but what to potentiall
