Podcasts about Director general

Health officials and government ministers are at odds over whether every covid patient at home gets a critical device which measures their oxygen levels. One GP said even though there was high demand for the pulse oximeters they are not all that easy to get. The Director-General of Health said not everyone gets one, but the Ministry said they do. While Andrew Little said they don't necessarily, and Grant Robertson said they all do. RNZ's Jordan Bond reports.

The Director-General of Health, Ashley Bloomfield, says the worst-case scenario Covid-19 modelling for when the Auckland border reopens, is 16,000 cases a week during January. But that the country is not currently tracking towards that figure. Susie Ferguson spoke to Director-General of Health, Ashley Bloomfield.

Sobre la cantidad de casos Covid en la Zona Norte. 

National Party Covid-19 spokesperson Chris Bishop wants travellers coming into New Zealand to be able to skip MIQ, freeing up the spaces for people in the community with Covid-19 to isolate. It comes as the length of stay for returnees arriving in New Zealand is shortened to seven days, down from 14. Epidemiologist Michael Baker welcomed the changes but said any length of stay is now redundant for people planning on heading into Auckland. Bishop agreed and said the current way the system is running is insufficient. "We should be using those in MIQ spots, not for fully vaccinated travellers with no Covid, but for people with Covid. "Not everyone who's got COVID needs to go into an MIQ, but the system is completely deranged at the moment. It's a complete perversion of priorities, and we need to change it." Bishop said the National Party's policy was to let fully vaccinated travellers skip the MIQ queue. "If you're fully vaccinated without a without Covid, so you've passed a negative pre-departure test, and you come from a low risk jurisdiction like Queensland, for example, which has minimal amounts of Covid, in fact none probably, then you would just go straight into the community if you take a test on arrival as well. "For people who come from jurisdictions with Covid, say South Wales and the UK, you would do a week's home self-isolation when you enter New Zealand but key point is to skip the MIQ, free up those spaces for people who actually have Covid, still do a week's self-isolation for people who may potentially carry the virus even despite those checks. He said the chance of people passing testing positive for Covid-19 after seven days isolation is not zero, but it is low. Morning Report invited Director-General of Health, Ashley Bloomfield onto the programme on Friday, but he has declined all of our interview requests this week. Joint Head of MIQ Brigadier Rose King also declined to come onto the programme. Morning Report's calls this morning to the Minister for Covid-19 Response, Chris Hipkins, have gone unanswered.

Guest:   Mr. Dave Steward joins Mike Wills to commemorate the life of FW de Klerk, the former president of South Africa during whose iconic tenure South Africa began the transition to a Constitutional Democracy.  FW de Klerk was head of state between September 1989 and May 1994.

This week, A'ndre and Ryan speak with former CIA Director General (Ret.) David Petraeus about his thoughts on the Fall of Afghanistan to the Taliban, as the retired general reflects on the mistakes made during the withdrawal and throughout the broader 20 year war. General Petraeus, who famously served as Commander of U.S. Forces in Afghanistan, outlines why Afghanistan is and will become a 'humanitarian catastrophe' under Taliban rule. Criticizing the idea that the Afghan Army was not 'willing' to fight, Petraeus asserts that the pull-out of contractors, reliance on U.S.-based materials and equipment, and the simultaneous Taliban attacks country-wide led to a psychological collapse of the Afghan Army. Petraeus, who served as CIA Director in the early 2010s, discusses how the U.S. 'overbuilt' Afghan security forces, and whether the U.S. Armed Forces were attuned with the cultural and societal intricacies of Afghanistan. We close out the conversation with the General's thoughts on public opinion towards the Afghanistan War, ending 'endless' wars, and how we can help the Afghans who helped us.Check out No One Left Behind and their important work here: https://nooneleft.org/ 

The Ministry of Health has doubled down in not granting access to Whānau Ora Commissioning Agency data on the vaccination status of Māori - despite a high court ruling urging the Ministry to reconsider.  The agency has been seeking contact details for all unvaccinated Māori in the North Island so it can target areas with low uptake, when it embarks on a vaccination drive. In a letter to the North Island commissioning agency, Director General of Health Dr Ashley Bloomfield said the ministry's view is that if they released that breadth of data it would not be effective in other areas, due to variations in Whānau Ora Commissioning Agency coverage.  Māori news director Māni Dunlop spoke to Guyon Espiner.

Director-General of Health says there was no indication a person who has died while isolating at home with Covid-19 was high risk. It remains unclear whether the person died from Covid-19 or another cause. They were found dead by a family member on Wednesday. Ashley Bloomfield told Morning Report the case is being investigated, but he thinks those isolating at home are given enough support. He said a daily check-in on those people is a standard procedure. That check in is via email, but if an email from the isolating person is not received they are given a phone call.

Now Alitalia is gone. As you join us today a 74-year saga of the airline business is now gone, maybe forever joining a very long list of airlines that some of us grew up with and thought might never go away. We do not pretend to to know all that much about Alitalia. But we know someone who does and shares his observations here. Marco Sorgetti, the recently retired Director General of FIATA and, for our money, the greatest DG to serve that iconic nearly 95-year old Geneva-based forwarder organization, today is alive and well in Turin, Italy. Here he tells the story from up close and personal of AZ. We recall delivering our newspaper, the original Air Cargo News founded in USA in 1975, 8 years before some Brits knowingly swiped our name and started up the now German-owned Air Cargo News in London. We came across some cargo workers at one stop, who were living in a container outside Hangar 6 at JFK where AZ Cargo operated. As AZ employees, they were on strike for what seemed like years back in the 1990s. Eventually after a couple of years the strike was settled and everyone knew the trouble with AZ was, that no one ever lost their job or something along those lines. "Now," Marco writes, "with Alitalia gone I wonder if the Italian style that lived so high in the air might be part of the story? "Maybe too much of La Dolce Vita?. "Perhaps," says Marco. "Geoffrey is not far from truth, but the picture is far more complicated." If you wish to continue listening you will get an idea of what we are talking about. Finnair is 98 In 1939, Finnair was on display at The New York World's Fair promoting planned scheduled services from Helsinki to New York City for 1940 via four-engined, high-flying Focke-Wulf 200 Condor passenger aircraft. In 1938, an FW-200 flew nonstop from Berlin to New York City scaring the hell out of Pan Am, which operated big lumbering Boeing B314 flying boats across the pond. Minus the world at war, Finnair would have been flying non-stop, HEL-LGA in 1940! So happy birthday Finnair and heartfelt thanks for the memories. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/geoffrey-arend/support

Greece's often-strained relations in past years with Germany took center stage Friday during a visit to Athens by outgoing Chancellor Angela Merkel. During their meeting, Greek President Katerina Sakellaropoulou raised the thorny issue of Germany's role in Greece's financial crisis, noting that “there were times of difficulty and tension,” adding that Greeks “often felt alone.” Many Greeks blamed Merkel for the enforced austerity measures during the crisis. During their joint press conference, Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis praised Merkel's political legacy, and called her “the voice of reason and stability, both in Berlin and in Brussels.” He said Merkel was “perhaps unfair sometimes, but always decisive in the borderline moments,” and recalled that in 2015 she “refused Greece's ostracism from Europe.”In light of Chancellor Angela Merkel's visit, we are re-broadcasting our interview from September 25th with Dr. George Pagoulatos, the Director General of ELIAMEP, where we discussed Merkel's legacy both on the global stage and in Greece.You can read the articles we discuss on our podcast here: Greek president to Germany's Merkel: Greece often felt aloneMitsotakis calls for tougher EU line on TurkeyGreek PM voices concern over West's stance towards TurkeyIntel: Pentagon holds 'productive' talks with Turkey over F-35 disputeWith F-16 deal in limbo, Erdogan-Biden meeting postponed to Glasgow

Director-General of Health Dr Ashley Bloomfield says the Ministry of Health expects it will take Auckland just over a month before 90 percent of the population is fully vaccinated. Around 70 percent of the region is fully vaccinated now, with close to 90 percent having had one dose. "It will take the next few days to get up to 90 pecent [single dose]," Dr Bloomfield told Morning Report. "Then we've got that gap of at least three weeks. For most people at the moment, it's about three to four weeks for that second dose." Dr Bloomfield said while 90 percent has always been the aim, it's by no means the end and there's plenty of opportunity for more people to get vaccinated. "It's not just a figure, it's not just a target, it's a milestone, because we don't stop there, we keep going, everything, every vaccination above 90 percent, adds additional protection." He said the Ministry of Health believes the R number for the virus is around 1.2 or 1.3 and case numbers are still going to go up. "The best way to keep them down as low as possible is for people to keep abiding by those alert level three restrictions. That's fundamental." Auckland's border is expected to remain in place for some time until vaccination rates improve in other parts of the country. Bloomfield said the hard border is doing a good job at protecting vulnerable communities where the rates aren't tracking as well. "It's largely confined the cases to Auckland, which is great, and it means we can take that ongoing elimination approach outside of Auckland. "The Prime Minister did signal a week or two back that the intention is to keep that boundary for the time being. I think there's good rationale for that, if we can avoid the cases leaking out of Auckland as much as possible, that serves everybody." He says the whole country needs to be at 90 percent or more for optimal protection.

Director-General of Health Dr Ashley Bloomfield joins the show as the country's first ever 'vaxathon' takes place  with the target of getting a further 100,000 eligible people vaccinated with either their first or second dose.

Director-General of Health Dr Ashley Bloomfield joins the show as the country's first ever 'vaxathon' takes place  with the target of getting a further 100,000 eligible people vaccinated with either their first or second dose.

Director-General of Health Dr Ashley Bloomfield says vaccinated people may be able to self-isolate for a shorter period if they catch Covid-19. It comes as Auckland's Covid-19 Delta variant oubreak grows and threatens to overwhelm contact tracing and isolation services. Dr Bloomfield told Morning Report vaccinated people are likely to be infectious for a shorter period of time. "They're less likely to pass on the virus, and if they are infectious they are infectious for a shorter period. "Therefore, especially if they're asymptomatic, then they would only require a shorter period at home, whereas those who are unvaccinated, even if they don't have symptoms, are more likely to pass on the virus. "They would need to remain isolated to avoid passing it on to others for a longer period." The outbreak has overwhelmingly affected the unvaccinated, Dr Bloomfield said only 4 percent of cases were fully vaccinated. "Some had a single vaccination, but the vast majority hadn't had one vaccine. "Then if you look at hospitalizations, just three of I think around 170 hospitalizations were in people who are fully vaccinated, so it's highly protective." Ministry of Health director of public health Dr Caroline McElnay said contact tracing services would be overwhelmed at around 160 or 170 new cases of the disease every day. Seventy-one new cases were announced on Thursday. Dr Bloomfield said if that happened authorities would not stop contact tracing. "We'd move to using a different range of processes for getting messages out to people who are contacts. "Rather than them all being personally contacted we will be sending alerts out through the app. We might have businesses or other organisations where those contacts were just follow them up and make sure they were staying home and isolating. "Of course our great hope is that as many of those contacts as possible are fully vaccinated, then their period of isolation is likely to be shorter and of course they will just have mild, if at all, any symptoms and be able to be looked after at home."

This is Coronavirus 411, the latest COVID-19 info and new hotspots for October 14th, 2021. After a 19-month freeze, the United States will open its land borders with Canada and Mexico to non-essential travel. Fully vaccinated foreign nationals can enter the U.S. for whatever reason starting early November. Travelers will be asked about their vaccination status as part of the standard Customs and Border Protection admissions process, and no testing will be required to enter by land or sea. Despite full steam ahead by the U.S. administration and other countries, the Director General of the World Health Organization called booster shots while initial inoculations lag in some countries is "immoral, unfair, and unjust.” He went on to say, "To start boosters is really the worst we can do as a global community." A federal judge ruled the state of New York can't impose a vaccine mandate on healthcare workers and not allow their employers to consider religious exemption requests. The judge said the vaccination requirement conflicted with the workers' federally protected right to seek religious accommodations from their employers. The Governor vowed to fight the decision. At least 24 states have imposed vaccine requirements on workers, usually in healthcare. Boeing told employees they have to be vaccinated and if they don't, they might get fired. Deadline is December 8 and the company said compliance is a condition of employment. This affects about 125,000 U.S.-based employees. The International Association of Machinists union said it's their responsibility to defend and advocate for members, but the fact is the membership is polarized on the issue. So can you get a booster from a different vaccine than your original doses? A new NIH study found yes, it's safe and effective. However, Moderna and Pfizer were found to spark a stronger immune system response than Johnson & Johnson. The study found those that got J&J got stronger antibody levels after getting a Moderna or Pfizer booster, compared to another J&J shot. In the United States cases were down 21%, deaths are down 4%, and hospitalizations are down 20% over 14 days. The 7-day average of new cases has been trending down since September 13. There are 9,695,293 active cases in the United States.

A Far North District Councillor is pleading for the women who travelled through Northland after crossing the Auckland border to open up about where they have been. Director General of Health Dr Ashley Bloomfield has said a woman who had travelled to Northland with another woman who tested positive for Covid-19 will be interviewed this morning. Dr Bloomfield said the woman was showing symptoms of Covid 19 when she was found by the police last night, and has been tested with results due this morning. She is understood to have spent two to three days in Northland - but has not co-operated with officials on locations of interest. Far North District Councillor Kelly Stratford told Morning Report the public is relying mostly on rumours to determine where the two women might have been. She is appealing for the women to reveal more, and spare Northland from further uncertainty and suffering. "I want them to find it in themselves to share the locations that they've been in, to just help get rid of the uncertainty that we are experiencing up here." Stratford said Northlanders are very worried. "We've got families trying to have their tests but some people can't travel, authorities are working to help get testing more widespread, but everybody's just very fearful." She wants there to be consequences if they don't open up. "If they're not going to speak, which it's in their right not to speak out, throw the book at them because it has put a lot more economic pressure on our region it is making people's mental health worse." Northland is in alert level 3 until at least Thursday due to uncertainty in the region.

The woman who went into hiding after travelling around Northland with an individual who tested positive for covid-19 was symptomatic when found by police. Director-General of Health Ashley Bloomfield told Morning Report the person was tested on Monday night and the results are expected back on Tuesday. The woman has been held under section 70 of the Health Act and was taken to a quarantine facility. "The section 70 notice does allow the person to effectively be held in a place to keep them and others safe, and also to be tested and any other sort of medical investigations that might be required," Dr Bloomfield said. Neither of the women have been cooperative with authorities during investigation into the case. Dr Bloomfield said the law cannot force woman to speak. He said the Ministry of Health and contact tracers need to know more detail about where the two women were. Some progress was being made through other methods though. "Police have got a reasonably good understanding based on transactions and phone records of where the people were broadly, and the times they were there. "Of course, what we really want to know is more detail about the places and the times they were in those places." Dr Bloomfield said they are currently trying to work out if anyone was infectious while travelling outside Auckland. "The really big question is were they infectious out in the community in Northland, and that's why we need to know where they are and get on and test people who they may have had contact with." He said there have been no positive results from wastewater testing in Northland.

Diplomats and scientists often live in different worlds and don't have open access to each other's community.A new foundation known as the Geneva Science and Diplomacy Anticipator (GESDA) hopes to bring the two sides together. It took a first step by holding its first summit in the Swiss city from October 7-9.Host Imogen Foulkes went to the event and spoke to Peter Brabeck-Letmathe, former Nestlé CEO, and chairman of GESDA, as well as Fabiola Gianotti, Director-General of CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research."Perhaps GESDA is an honest broker between science and politics.  If you look at the declaration of world leaders, you will hear that some of them clearly state that they want their country to be the technology leader worldwide. And the next step is that if two countries want to be the world development leaders in technology and science, there's a certain confrontation," says Brabeck. "I think we must really do more and become more collaborative in all fields of society. The challenges are daunting - societal challenges, planetary challenges, technological challenges - so working together is a must. Science and technology should become tools to reduce the inequities across the world," explains Gianotti.

How did Argentina's multicultural society shape how they approach multilateralism? And how did Argentina contribute to the human rights law we know today?   In this episode, Ambassador Federico Villegas, the Permanent Representative of Argentina to the United Nations Office at Geneva joined the #NextPagePod for a discussion around the history of Argentina and how diversity has shaped the country today.   Before being appointed to Geneva, Mr. Villegas has had an expansive career in foreign services as a career diplomat and lawyer. Appointed as the Argentinian Ambassador to Mozambique in 2016, he was then appointed as the Director-General of Human Rights at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Argentina from 2012 to 2016 and as a Representative to the Southern Common Market in Uruguay from 2008 to 2011.   In discussion with Director of the UN Library & Archives Geneva, Francesco Pisano, Mr. Villegas talks about his experience as a UN Disarmament fellow, Argentina's relations with neighbouring America and how immigration in Argentina created a turning point for society. He also talked about military coups, and how periods in the country's history led to a new human rights wave dedicated to the enforced disappearances of persons.   Resources: More about Ambassador Villegas:  https://unctad.org/node/33987 Transcript: click here  Listen to us also on: Apple podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-next-page/id1469021154 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/10fp8ROoVdve0el88KyFLy Podbean: https://unitednationslibrarygeneva.podbean.com/ Follow us: https://www.facebook.com/UNOGLibrary https://twitter.com/UNOGLibrary Content:  Speakers: Ambassador Federico Villegas & Francesco Pisano Host: Tiffany Verga Editor & Producer: Tiffany Verga Social media designs: Tiffany Verga Recorded & produced at the United Nations Library & Archives Geneva

Zeinab Badawi speaks to Rafael Grossi, Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency, amid concern about renewed tensions over Iran's nuclear programme. Tehran insists that it is only developing nuclear power for civilian purposes but now Israel has warned that it crosses all “red lines” and that it won't allow Iran to acquire nuclear weapons. This follows warnings by Washington and the EU that Iran must allow international weapons inspectors full access to its workshops. Has the IAEA's inspection programme failed and dashed all hopes of a diplomatic solution to this crisis? (Photo: Rafael Grossi appears via video link on Hardtalk)

After 16 years, Germany is saying farewell to Angela Merkel, its longtime Chancellor. As Germans head to the polls on Sunday, the rest of Europe will also be watching closely to see who emerges as the next leader of Germany. Throughout her tenure, Chancellor Merkel has steered Germany and the European Union through a number of crises, from the euro-debt crisis to the migration crisis - both of which left their mark on the continent and on Greece specifically. Professor George Pagoulatos joins The Greek Current to discuss Angela Merkel's legacy on the European level and within Greece, what her departure means for Europe's position on the global stage, and look ahead at tomorrow's crucial elections in Germany. Professor George Pagoulatos is the Director General of ELIAMEP, the Hellenic Foundation for European and Foreign Policy, is Professor of European Politics and Economy at the Athens University of Economics and Business (AUEB), and Visiting Professor at the College of Europe.You can read the articles we discuss on our podcast here: Germans Will Choose A New Government As Angela Merkel Steps Down As ChancellorCyprus says Turkey eyes island's control with 2-state dealPresident Anastasiades addresses the 76th UN General AssemblyElpidophoros clears up Turkish House incidentΜάθημα ιστορίας και πατριωτισμού από τον Πρόεδρο Αναστασιάδη στον κ.
