joining us via skype supermarket mogul familiar with the tragedy such as this. young son passed away from a pool accident and he has pledged his life to raising awareness. bill: thank you for joining us. an incredibly successful entrepreneur area behind all your success and smiles, you have a personal tragedy more than 25 years ago were you lost your child. >> i heard about the accident i have chills right now just thinking of the situation. i no he feels the same way. we were both there. right now the polls open up. people are out around the water. new line two, three -year-old start running around. all of the parents listening know what those children -- if you don't keep your eye on them. so what we have done the last 25 years is really try to help young parents and grandparents just realized you have to keep your eye on the child. bill: how do you deal with it as parents? >> i was watching him. we genuinely believe. one thing i would say you have to make sure they know they are supposed to be watching the child. >> we have been married 31 years. that was by f

i'm going to let jamie lou give us that update as she joins us via skype. you have pretty upcoming trip. you're headed to lassos angeles, right. >> yes, i am. >> what's happening? >> i'm suppose to be meeting some people. it's exciting. i'm young and it's going to be a great experience. >> we've noticed your voice has changed a little bit since last time we talked to you. how do you think you've changed? >> now that i just turned 13, obviously, it's gotten more into depth and undergoing usual voice changes. other than that, i think i've gotten more experience with singing and writing especially. >> your dad mentioned that some record labels had reached out. >> i've gotten some offers. i'm afraid i can't say anything more. it's very exciting. that's all i can say. >> how does that make you feel? >> it's amazing. i can't believe in two years it's happening. it's amazing. >> these boys ride the rails. the only question is place your bets and see where he is next. and this girl taking on the burrito challenge. five pounds. >> it's got tortilla rice beans, rice

. >> rosalind jordan in nairobi >>> a somally scholar at the university of minnesota joins us via skype. good to have you with us. how important was john kerry's visit to somali. >> i think it was more symbolic than signature. there hasn't been a u.s. secretary there, i don't think forever. the fact he was there for a few hours was more to give blessing to the community forces that have been fighting for al-shabab more than anything else. >> do you believe concerns over al-shabab's reach, especially in minnesota, that is driving the renewed interest on the part of the united states. >> i think significantly so. also because kenya and ethiopia are major allies. and if you heard mr kerry, he said that kenya's presence and occupation is important for the security of the country and the region. kenya has been destabilize of course and troops na that country, for several years. there's no addressing of that question. so al-shabab becomes, if you like a bandwagon to ride on without supporting the somali security forces to do the work themselves and free the country. >> i spoke to the presiden

. >> we bring in the founder and editor-in-chief joining us via skype. why did you decide to do this. >> the stigma is important to us. it's very important and it is no profit for us as income goes directly to charity. there's no benefit to us. >> the world health organisation reported h.i.v. cases grew by 80%. it's clear the conversation should be restarted because a lot of people are getting the disease. >> this is a big number. we had the feeling at the magazine that people are not aware any more, like if - because if you see the numbers, 25% are hitting people under the age of 25 >>> do you think it's because people are too complacent because of the success of drug treatments, especially in richer companies that made h.i.v. manageable? i think so because medical treatment is excellent. and the stigma prevent the conversation. i don't here anyone saying "i'm h.i.v. positive", this is bus of stigma. >> h.i.v. cannot survive outside the body for more than half hour or so. on top of that you treated the blood to make the virus inactive before putting it i

we can speak to a person joining us via skype. he was minister of state in the former president's government. thank you for talking to us here at al jazeera. the government is claiming ta you, the opposition is orchestrating the protests is that true? >> the opposition has been out on the street since the arrest of former president. and as you have mentioned, the united nations - many of the organizations, and the trial was not free and fair. therefore, it is the beauty of the opposition to voice out and tell the counter regime that this sort of injustice cannot be tolerated any more. >> i think the government is accusing you of provoking violence. i am sure there were observers here local media. you've not seep any sort of violence that you would see. the security forces that gathered in protest. there were some clashes, nothing serious. if you look at the way the police have dealt with the general public it's force on the people. people have been injured. and i do not - i note that two police officers who got into the crowd after

mr hughes joins us via skype. it's good to have you with us. in app interview before the flight you described yourself as a combination of circus show men and paul revere. the focus has been on the security of a nation's capital than the issue of money and politics. >> i didn't expect that congress was going to enter into a discussion about campaign finance reform and they went to security as a way of keeping the topic off of the prop. if there was an issue with security, it was procedural. the f.a.a. said they tracked my plane from gettysburg. if there was a hole in national security, that's been taken care of. i'd like to go to a topic that is more important, and that's campaign finance >>> is congress reacting that way because people don't care. officials spend more time fundraising than focussing on their constituents. when average americans hear the words campaign finance, i suspect their eyes glaze over. >> that's what i'm trying to talk about solutions, there are groups that have been working on this for years. there is a constitutional

he cochairs the american bar association committee on robotics and joins us via skype. ryan this is the second drone incident at the white house in a couple of months, and raises the issue of whether drones could be used in a terrorist attack. is that not a legitimate concern. >> it's a concern, but i note that lots of other devices could be used in a terrorist attack. if you are not - you could attach explosives and throw it on to the lawn. people are nervous about drones because it's a new technology that we are not accustomed to. >> it's technology that is different to throwing something tonne the white house lawn. you could be a good distance away fly these things with cameras on to the white house or anywhere else and commit, you know cause serious dank. -- serious damage. >> there's no question. someone landed a manned plane years ago on the white house lawn. we had remote control planes for some time. the difference is that there's about 15,000 of these drones that are easy to fly, that are getting shipped and we are using it in all kinds of ways some of those way

. >>> now to an attorney and legal an cyst who is joining us via skype from los angeles.o first, your reaction to the announcement made by prosecutor mosby. >> like most of the country, i was shocked. yesterday we kept hearing about being patient and all of the officials from the city of baltimore, kept urging everyone to be patient and wait to allow justice to be played out, so there was no expectation that this morning, the state attorney would come out and make a pronouncement about how she would proceed with respect to the police report that had been turned over to her yesterday, and her own independent investigation that has been ongoing since freddie gray's death. so i was shocked although elated to see the courage of this prosecutor. for herself and her own officer to stand up and say there was enough evidence in this case to charge all of the officers involved with the freddie gray incident. >> that comment you just made obviously references us back to some other cases we have seen in the past year where prosecutors took a different tact. but before we compare wha

. >> joining us via skype right now is your little sarah all the way from new jersey. nice to have you with us. >> hello! >> hi. >> thank you. >> lori is telling me you were her little with the big brothers big sisters. >> yeah. >> she met you when you were 4 years old. >> yeah. we had a very special bond. >> tell us about it. >> my mom had a traumatic brain injury when i was young, and it left her a little bit irresponsible. she basically had a 21-year-old mentality for most of my childhood. >> so when you met lori at the age of 4, she was a young single woman herself. >> she was, but i never -- it wasn't a good comparison. she was in a different place in her life than my mom was. she was definitely more responsible. she was more stable. >> and you spent a lot of holidays with her. she mentioned something about friday night tacos. >> yes. we used to go to the tacoria. it was my favorite restaurant. still is. we actually visited the last time i was in california. >> and then the holidays, too, were a big part of your life. >> yeah. well, my mom's jewish so she allowed m

. >> sreenivasan: all right erin cunningham of the washington post join us via skype from cairo tonight. thanks so much. >> thank you. returning now to the death of nobel prize winning mathematician john nash. i'm joined by nash's colleague and friend, robbert dijkgraaf, director of the institute for advanced study in new jersey. >> sreenivasan: so first off my condolences to you. what are you going to miss most about your colleague and friend? >> oh joe nash was such a presence here in princeton, it is a small community and he was a genius of a different kind, somebody who totally transformed mathematics, but programs most important he was such a gentle and modest man, a great inspiration i think for all mathematicians, scientists and human beings. >> sreenivasan: what was it about his genius that inspired generations of mathematicians what made him, him? >> well, i think many scientists and mathematicians they try to kind of climb a mountain that is somewhere out there and there is a path, although it might be very difficult, john nash was a mathematician who just picked his own mount

will joins us via skype from london. thank you for talking with us. will getties, we know that one of the suspects, elton simpson, linked himself to isis in a tweet just before that shooting. but going by what we know so far would you kid them to be lone wolves who had aspirations to be a part of isis, or do you think they had tied to international terrorism? >> i think tip is alall -- i thk it is always difficult at this early stage. i think some of the indicators and signatures at the moment would lead within to speculate this is a home grown, lone wolf type of activity. judging by the sort of format or process for attack. they were thwarted easily. it didn't appear that they did a considerable amount of planning before this. if they've had this situation would have gone differently. >> yeah, i wanted to look at that. the two suspects had asaumesaul rifles. can we assume they were not well travenltd if that its the case what does that tell you? >> certainly what it would tell me they may have limited access to some of the isis, out there at the mome

meanslook at what this for the tourism industry, i want he joinsin adam sachs, us via skype.is summer travel season going to be better for americans? adam: it's better for the travel industry. you look at the trend of the performance of the travel industry, whether you look at the hotel or aviation sector or theyecreation attractions, posted record levels of demand consecutively starting in 2011. it has only gotten better in each consecutive year. it has been a remarkable run. 2015 is seeing continued momentum in demands for each of these sectors. it is being largely driven by domestic markets, travelers within the united states traveling domestically. what about overseas travel? m: it is showing its affect on outbound travel from the u.s. 8%. outbound travel is up year over which is extraordinarily strong relative to typical trance of growth -- trends of growth. it is having the reverse effect on inbound and we are seeing a marked slowdown of travel in the u.s. to keep markets in europe, and from south america and japan , because the u.s. is anywhere between 10% to 30% more

the fifa standal and how it might all shake out with matt from inside world football, joining us via skype. matt, thank for joining us. we just learned that fifa is canceling the news conference set to happen after today's congress saying the newly elected president, whoever that will be, will not speak until tomorrow. that sounds like a big deal. >> news just in from fifa. i was just talking to them about that. they said it needs to be postponed until tomorrow because of an executive committee meeting tomorrow. i'm afraid i find that -- i don't think there is no reason at all why blatter couldn't hold a press conference after the events of congress today. the only thing that would prevent him doing that is presumably time. at 79 years of age, i suspect he feels quite tired quite frequently which puts a question mark over his ability to be head of football. >> do you think he will emerge as head of fifa? >> yes. there is no question in my mind. he is a victor already. just a question of whether it happens in the first or second round. in the first round he would need two thirds majority to

joining us now, lieutenant colonel tony schafer along with bayonne raman, who is joining us via skype. thanks to both of you for joining us today. tony, let me begin with you. this week the white house downplayed the loss of this key city of isis. you have news that the efforts to stop isis are really faltering badly and beyond iraq you have information that isis is right now making headway in afghanistan right now they are in control of five provinces, is that correct? >> yes. huge progress. let's be very blunt about this. everywhere that al qaeda was, isis now is and in one of those places where they are being able to make great gains is in afghanistan. they are going after the profit centers there. they have already taken over five provinces in the north and are trying to take over the old trader routes smugglers routes plus access to the key resources, mineral resources in afghanistan. in the south they have taken over three provinces trying to get control of the drug trade. what they're doing there is quite brilliant. they are trying to gain access and maintain control of the eco

. >> the main author of amnesty international's aleppo report and joins us via skype from beir beirutyou so much for, for talking with us. now as the main author of this report, what do you hope to achieve by highlighting what you deem to be crimes against humanity. on the part of president bashir al assad's regime. what you call war crimes on the part of the rebels. >> our main goal in this report is to reveal to the world the truly horrific situation that is happening in aleppo and across syria. and we are making specific calls on the security council to recognize and uphold its resolution, resolution 2139. which condemns the kind of abuses that are covered in this report. and specifically addresses and condemns the use of barrel bombs. we are also calling on the security council to impose sanctions, targeted sanctions on those responsible for war crimes and crimes against humanity. we're calling on this security council to impose an arms embargo on the syrian government and finally, we are calling for the security council to refer the situation in syria to the international communi

the whole iraqis >>> a member of the iraqi parliament and a former national security visor joins us via skype from baghdad. what will be the basis of this theory that i.s.i.l. is in the capital because it is taking advantage of the displacement of so many that are fleeing the government offensive against i.s.i.l. >> well there is not thought of that in our mind or in the intelligence circles or security circles, and the military circles. there are sleepers sleeping cells inside baghdad working for i.s.i.s. and i.s.i.s. had also staged the exodus from ramadi to baghdad by throwing fears and spreading the fears of decapitation coming to decapitate you, the ramadi people and all this. that forced people to leave ramadi and tens of thousands, to come to baghdad in one go. they managed to infiltrate the exodus to baghdad. >> sir, if what you are saying is true if the accusations are true what you are saying about i.s.i.l. what should the government do about this? >> i think the government should be meticulous in security clearance from those coming from anbar and they should be very, very careful

dave is joining us from kathmandu via skype this morning. can you hear us? >> yes, i can. thank you for being here with us. just devastating. can you tell us first of all did you feel it? and what was it like? it must be horrendous for everybody there. >> reporter: i've been here since friday when we felt tremors and after shocks multiple times. i was on the roof of our building and it was pretty violent. the shaking lasted about 15 seconds. and you know people were quite scared. they were under their desks. crouched together until the shaking stopped. we are glad to say everyone is okay. we are checking on the very last stap members. >> again you are in kathmandu which was hit hard. but harder hit was the remote villages and that is this latest earthquake was in more of a remote area. we know it was very hard for relief to get those people. it still is. how does this effect helping out the people of nepal now? >> we are in a position where we have set up teams in these remote areas that are not too far from the epicenter. mideast of these teams are okay. we will get a hel

the sierra national alliance coalition and he's also a former national security adviser joining us via skype. thank you very much for speaking to us. this latest attack that took place in iraq how big a blow back is this for the iraqi forces and the paramilitary forces fighting to take back anbar anbar? doctor? i do apologize for that. we're having some technical difficulties with him. we'll try to get him back later on in the news hour. >>> a fire that swept through a home for the elderly in central china killed 38 people is raising concerns over lax safety standards. adrian brown reports from where the cause of the disaster is being investigated. >>> as the authorities investigate the cause of the fire the care home is now a crime scene. 12 staff are being investigated. you can just make out the statue in the courtyard, and the banner behind with the words, "with our love make old people safe." they weren't safe. most of the dead were very frail and needed assistance to move. a relative of one of the dead told us she was waiting for compensation before being dragged away by a family member

he joins us via skype from london. thank you for joining us. so, will getties, we know this is a huge victory for isis of course. a massive set back for both iraq and the united states. but how long do you think isis is likely to control ramadi once those increased iraqi forces are sent back in along with militia. we did see of course that those forces iraqi forces fled under those particular circumstances. but if they regroup, reenergize, and return with the shiia militias what do you think the outcome will be. >> that's where the crux of the problem is going to be. reenergizing as you say, iraqi soldiers. and troops to actually go back in there. by all accounts, they were so badly decimated, certainly by isis and by their tactics, within ramadi. we have to remember isis has got a considerable history now of fighting in, what we call, built up areas. they are very, very good. now in their taking of ra madma they use tactics. they launch a number against the military command there in ramadi. so i think there is a number of different issues here

a senior analyst joins us via skype from the u.k. what's behind this move by tesla and how ground breaking are these batteries? >> well, thanks for inviting me on show the but i mean, really what tesla has announced today is not them the product itself, but the vision for the product is going to be profound in terms of the effect that it can have. essentially what he has done is announce a battery that you can install in the home and it will who can into the home power supply which means that when your power goes out you don't need to reach for the candles anymore. on the other hand, the product is veil for businesses and utilities where you can scale the number of batteries to effectively an infinite number, and so really, all what he's introduced is an uninterruptible power supply. that brings in the prospect of what we call a smart grid. >> ok. so will these batteries allow people to get off power grids or perhaps bring energy to remote areas not on existing grids already? >> both, actually. i mean, elon musk has a vision for thes

she's joining us via skype from rome. i was interested to hear you say that we need measures that might offer a safer way for refugees to get to europe. how would that work in your opinion? >> the fact that at least 50% of those coming to europe crossing the mediterranean arriving to greece 50% at least of them are refugees. people coming from syria, people coming from somalia, they would in my case have received a refugee status once in europe. so unchr is proposed 12 actions very specific and concrete. some of them focus on the fact that these refugees should be provided with some attractive legal ways to arrival in europe. so europe should open for some quotas and provide these people with different kinds of possibilities from family reunification. we have families that are broken because of the war. the father is in europe the mother with the daughters with children are in libya waiting or in turkey. so family reunification is already into the european regulation and should be facilitated. then we have the possibility

thanks >>> comrogan is a columnist with "the daily telegraph" and joins us via skype. let's start with one of the exit poll scenarios that shows david cameron's conservatives short of the majority they need to govern alone. if the numbers are accurate is it likely there'll be no change in britain because the coalition will stay in place. >> great to be with you. >> i think it's possible. there's also the possibility that if the exit poll that had been mentioned so much, that it's gaining seats. if it turns out to be true the conservatives may govern as a minority. that is to say they'll take votes in the house of parliament. and they hope they'll bring mps from any party and to push them 8-10 seats over the line to get a result. in the last 10-15 minutes, what has been noticeable is in key seats, where there was a 2% swing that needed to happen from the conservatives to labour. what is turning out that 2% swing is going the other way. i think it looks like the exit poll seat is correct, and david cameron, tomorrow, will have a good mandate for the next five years. >> l

and joining us via skype from newport beach, california analyst bob baer who is also a cnn operative. thank you, gentlemen, for joining me. ospreys and black hawk helicopters. this was a pretty loud air raid so likely people heard them coming. in a case where it's difficult to protect your choppers and troops coming in what or who is on the ground to take cover? >> first off before an operation like this even takes place, there is a lot of what we call isrs, which is intelligence reconnaisance and surveillance where they're actually going out and collecting a massive amount of intel on this target. we have to realize that when you have helicopters going in they are noisy, so we either have already softened up the target by using air power, and we definitely have overwatch, but depending on you know exactly where -- if you were to take an operation like this in iraq or afghanistan where the movement was basically free wherever we wanted to go in those areas, but here it's a little more of a different target because we're so far away from actual friendlies. you're going to see probably

joining us now via skype is kathleen, the national security and human rights deputy director at the government accountability project. kathleen great to have you. thanks for being with us. so the court did not rule on the constitutionality of the program. what does this ruling mean? if we don't know if it was constitutional and there is no injection. >> what this ruling means is it completely validates what nsa whistleblowers have been saying for years, which is that the nsa bulk phone collection program exceeds the authority that congress gave the nsa under section 215 of the patriot act inspect the section is a public law, but the justice department and the nsa have been using a secret twisted interpretation of that law to go far beyond the scope of it. >> how significant really is this at the end of the day? >> this is incredibly significant. congress right now is considering reauthorize -- passing the freedom act which would adjust and limit the bulk collection and that's really a c-plus effort, the freedom act, which is really kind of pathetic given that it's been almost two years since e

with us via skype, is security expert former atf agent matthew horace senior vice president with fshgjc security service are you surprised at what happened? >> i'm in the surprised at all. whenever you get this many armed criminals in one place at one time this is what you have the potential to happen. they do it year-round different places around the country. law enforcement follows the organizations from an intelligent and criminal perspective and we're very fortunate that this wasn't much worse than it was. >> a lot of people dead are and here's the question what should have been done to prevent this massacre? >> well i'm quite sure that law enforcement had intelligence about the event and we won't know immediately, we will know at some point down the line if law enforcement officers were on-site on-site, meaning undercover or from an intelligence capacity. there are any number of things that could have been done but i can assure you this with the omos, outlaw motorcycle organizations contempt for law enforcement we're fortunate on the heels we can police that there wasn't more gun

islands or the waters and douglas is a professor of law at the university in melbourne and joins us via skypeeciate it very much professor professor, so is it illegal to build on an island if it's not exactly clear who the island belongs to? >> well one of the news reports has been about the chinese constructing an air field on what wasn't an island before but a reef below the water. so there is a distinction in law between islands which can generate maritime zones and reefs which do not. so there are two different points and the first is can you build an artificial island and the answer there is, yes, you certainly can. the second question is if you build a new island does it create maritime zones and the answer there is no it doesn't. there is nothing in law that says you can't build on an island or maritime feature if who owns it is under dispute. however, if you build on an island and when the dispute is resolved and it's not yours you might be liable for any damage done to the state. >> why is it so difficult to settle this ongoing dispute? why are there not very specific, clear internat

damage nor casualties and let's find out a bit more about this and speak to daniel who joins us live via skypem the australia capitol and she part of the tsunami warning center and thanks for talking to us and tell us what you know exactly of what has gone on in png. >> this is actually a second magnitude 7.1 in the same region, then by center is ten kilometers to the northeast of the one that occurred yesterday. thankfully in this region it's very uninhabited. they have a lot of earthquakes in this new britain region. of course it's very close to the city that underwent a large volume foe eruption in the 1990s from the volcano and thankfully this is not expected to cause any damage and it would have been felt in the city of rabal but i would not expect any damage from a distance of 3, 400 kilometers away. >> as we mentioned the tsunami threat seems to have gone away but what about the possibility of the volcanos because as we mentioned it's also sitting on the rim of fire and so what about this sparking volcanic activity? >> it's away and volcanos are not connected by that sort of distance so

joins us now via skype from nairobi. thank you so much for joining us on al jazeera. it does seem a little bit strange perhaps that the president would give a speech days after a famed failed coup and not talk about the coup. how does that strike you? >> thank you very much for having me. it was very surprising indeed to see that our many people including international generalists, were are expecting to hear the president talk about the failed coup detat but he didn't mention that. my feeling he wanted to appease the united states of america who train and support the burundian army. and because the u.s. is threatening to stop training the burundian military, it could be a strategy to appeal to them and other donors so they feel some sympathy with him and the burundian government. >> he may not have mentioned the failed coup in the speech but certainly behind the scenes things are happening. the government has announced the arrest of 17 security officials they have been charged over the coup. behind the scenes how much do you think he's doing to make sure protests agai

let's go now to jamani karachi in amman, jordan, joining us live via skype. what happens if isis actually is able to solidify its control over the strategic city? >> of course the main area of concern here is that this would be a major blow, atika, for the iraqi government, for the u.s.-led coalition. this would be the first major iraqi city. it is the provincial capital of anbar that would basically fall into isis for the first time since the coalition air strikes began since this battle against isis intensified last summer, and the one line that we have been hearing over and over from weather from u.s. officials or from the iraqi government is that isis is on the backfoot, they're not gaining major ground in the country, but this would be a major blow and of course significant because it is a city, a province that borders baghdad. of course, this is a main concern for iraqi officials in baghdad and it does give the group a real boost here as you mentioned it does tighten their grip on that territory that they control all the way from the syrian/turkish bord

life should be lived and i love seeing alex out there doing it again and he's joining us right this minute via skype taking a moment out of his busy travel schedule. alex tell me as much as you can about this new video. it's spectacular in every way. >> it was absolutely extraordinary. selfies aren't a negative thing but the fact that you can express yourself in a unique way we can all relate to. >> did you pick up knickknacks in every trip you took? >> the only things i could bring back driving the motorcycle around the world is the memories and the video for you guys. >> did you get recognized by anybody? >> that's where i got the idea. they said hey you're the guy on the first 360 video, totally me. why don't you come with me and take a selfie. >> how are you different now that you've done this a second time? >> see the people rather than see the places. that's something my first video had a little bit about but this video is all about the people within the place. that tells a story. >> do you have a favorite experience with some of the people? >> there's a scene in the video where there's mexico
