The top priority during this coronavirus outbreak is to save lives - then for many it’s to save their businesses so we’re focussing on the self-employed men and women struggling to adapt. We spoke to “America’s best boss” Dan Price, economist Vicky Pryce and a couple of small business owners who have been hit hard by the crisis.

Today we’re going to be looking at lockdowns around Europe and the United States and asking an epidemiologist “which country’s got it right? We’ll also be hearing from white-collar criminal defence attorney, Vinoo Varghese, from his office on Wall Street, who says with the lockdown, it’s a good time to be a criminal. We’ll then head over to Seattle where CEO Dan Price and all his employees have been working remotely for a month now (they don’t call him the best boss in America for nothing!) And, if you’re working from home, we have some advice on how to stop people bothering you.

We need to defeat coronavirus - COVID-19 - so Nexus talks to one of the best vaccine hunters in the world - Dr Paul McKay from Imperial College, London. He talks about animal testing, human testing and predicts when the vaccine will be ready. It's all happening in record time...

So many people have cancelled their travel plans, business trips and holidays in fear of the coronavirus COVID-19. Every stage of a journey seems to pose a risk; the crowded airports with people from all over the world, tightly packed airplanes, hotels in lock-down, cruise-ships too. People are even worried about commuting to work, God forbid someone starts sneezing! But are we right to be worried, or can we still travel safely IF we take precautions?

Julian Assange is facing extradition to the United States, where he has been charged on 18 counts related to computer hacking. His fans see him as a symbol of free speech, transparency and honest journalism…. his critics say he’s a hacker, who endangered lives and national security by leaking confidential documents on his website, Wikileaks. His extradition hearing began in London this week.

But a Viking historian tells NEXUS that's nonsense! the ad was designed to provoke... but was it really part of a globalist agenda? 100,000+ people disliked it on YouTube already... SAS dismisses them as an 'online attack'. We also hear from a Danish journalist and a Lebanese immigrant to Sweden who thinks the ad's cool ... but... recognises it wouldn't be allowed in Lebanon!!

Kenya is in the grips of its worst locust crisis in 70 years. Hundreds of billions of them are eating their way through east Africa and beyond, threatening the food security for 19M people. Some individual swarms are said to number over a billion, and they’re predicted to get much much bigger in the coming months. What can be done to stop them?

Cities in lockdown, millions in quarantine and an ever growing number of infections and deaths. The Wuhan coronavirus has swept across the world and brought China to a stand still. Could Chinese authorities have done more to contain it? And just how deadly is the virus?

The news that the UN was accusing Mohammed Bin Salman, Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia, of hacking the phone of tech entrepreneur Jeff Bezos, seemed like a bolt from the blue. But as the story unfolded it became clear there was a deep well of politics behind the apparently random act. And it touched on some of the most bitter geopolitical disputes happening right now.

Fires happen in Australia every year, but not fires like these. Experts say they warned the Australian government for decades that the country’s rising temperature and increasing droughts would spark a blaze unlike anything they’d seen before. Yet when the wildfires began to ravage the states of New South Wales and Victoria a few months ago, firefighters say they were unprepared and under-resourced. The blowback has been ferocious and has fallen mainly on the shoulders of Prime Minister Scott Morrison. Is it fair? Can any one person be to blame for such a vast calamity?
