America's coronavirus epicentre
New York state has registered more cases than any single nation other than the US.
New York state has registered more cases than any single nation other than the US. We hear from Dr Michael Balboni, who runs a series of nursing homes in New York and used to be the state's national security adviser.
Also in the programme, US drugs giant Pfizer says it's about to start studies on both a potential cure and a vaccine. We hear from Berkeley Phillips, Pfizer's UK medical director. Then, Apple and Google have teamed up to develop software to alert people if they've recently come into contact with someone infected with coronavirus. The 大象传媒's technology reporter Zoe Thomas explains how the tech giants will do this.
And, fifty years after the break up of The Beatles, memorabilia spanning the Fab Four鈥檚 career has gone under the hammer - in cyberspace of course. We speak to Martin Nolan, executive director of Julien's Auctions, the company holding the event.
Presenter Rob Young is joined throughout the programme by Sharon Brettkelly, presenter of the Detail podcast on Radio New Zealand.
