大象传媒

President Trump is being moved to Walter Reed hospital in Washington DC, having been diagnosed with coronavirus, out of an "abundance of caution" according to the White House. We get the latest from the 大象传媒's Peter Bowes and get the medical opinions of Dr Arthur Kaplan, Professor of Bioethics at New York University. Meanwhile, the rate of unemployment in the US has fallen to 7.9%. But the jobless rate in the world's biggest economy is much higher than it was before the pandemic struck. We ask Loretta Mester, chair of the Cleveland Federal Reserve and member of the Federal Open Markets Committee, about the state of the US jobs market. Also in the programme, from 2024 onwards, contenders for best picture at the Oscars will have to meet new rules designed to broaden the backgrounds of the people who worked on it, on both sides of the lens. We have a special report. And we hear from a man who has filmed an entire opera using iPhones, featuring singers in lockdown all over the world.

All this and more discussed with our two guests throughout the show: Peter Ryan, ABC's Senior Business Correspondent. He's in Sydney. And Alexis Goldstein, an activist and financial reform advocate in Washington DC.
