Hydroxychloroquine: what you need to know

Hydroxychloroquine is the drug at the centre of public debate and Donald Trump has revealed he’s been taking it to try and reduce his chances of getting Covid-19. Professor Marc Pellegrini (Walter & Eliza Hall institute of Medical Research) is the lead researcher on the Australian trial and joins us on today's show.

In today's news headlines:

  • Bushfire royal commission hears black summer “not a one-off”
  • Court rules Celeste Barber’s $51 million NSW RFS fundraiser can’t go to other charities
  • Preventing male suicide a focus of $20 million mental health package
  • Top medical body demands urgent information campaign after Pete Evans anti-vaxxer interview

In today's Briefing we ask: How dangerous are the side effects? What are the risks of taking it to prevent COVID-19? What does Australia hope to achieve with their trial? Why are populist right wing leaders latching on to Hydroxychloroquine as a COVID-19 solution?

Deepfakes: the sinister side of AI

Deepfakes: the sinister side of AI

Deepfakes have been called the modern version of photoshopping… and they use a form of artificial intelligence called ‘Deep Learning’ to make fake images that look so real. Dr Mushhuda Glencross from the University of Queensland joins us to explain what they are, how they work, how to spot one… and why it can happen to anyone. But there’s a more sinister side to deepfakes. Noelle Martin was 18 when she was horrified to discover countless, doctored, sexualised images of herself online. Noelle has since become an activist and law reform campaigner on the issue, as well as the 2019 Young West Australian of the year.
