New Zealand has joined the US and Australia, in barring all foreign travellers from China from entering the country for up to two weeks. China has labelled our Government's decision to bar foreign travelers from China from entering New Zealand as 'disappointing'. The ban took effect this morning, in a bid to stop the spread of the Wuhan coronavirus. Kathryn Ryan speaks with Professor David Murdoch, Dean and Head of Campus, University of Otago, Christchurch.
09:10 Click to consent: Why privacy policies need an overhaul
When was the last time you read the privacy policy of a service you signed up to? An Auckland shopping mall has been requiring customers to hand over detailed information - including name, email address, car number plate, payment method and their location - before allowing them two hours of free parking. And if customers take advantage of the free wifi on offer within the new Westfield Newmarket mall, the company that runs the mall, Scentre Group, says it will collect information that includes your name, email and age if provided, your location, your web browser, your device ID number, how long you browsed for and what websites you visited. Kathryn is joined by Privacy Commissioner John Edwards for a look at how privacy policies could be made more user-friendly, and what improvements to privacy protection might be included in the new Privacy Bill going through Parliament.

Negotiations on their future relationship are due to start later today, and the transition period expires in 11 months. Seamus will also talk about the criticism Greece is receiving over its floating anti-migrant fence and Belgium has put its euthanasia laws to the test with the acquittal of three doctors charged with the murder of a 38-year old woman.
