BBC Sounds, music radio podcasts.

Coming up in this episode, we are going to speak to an actual rock star, Brian May, from Queen,

who has re-recorded one of their hits to raise money for the NHS and they've changed the title

to make it more appropriate for the coronavirus crisis and our brave frontline workers.

See if you can guess what they've changed it to.

But now let's talk to a rock star journalist.

It's Rory Kathleen Jones, a technology correspondent.

Hello Rory.

You flatter are you.

Well, I want to get some facts from you that's why. This is the third time we've discussed the Isle of White this week. What's the latest on the app rollout for the coronavirus app in the Isle of White? Well the latest is the huge publicity campaign

seems to be working.

Last time I heard, about 40,000 people had downloaded it.

Now we don't know they're all in the Isle of Wight, but're mostly in the Isle of Wight and that's out of an adult population of about 115,000 and

not everybody's had the letter yet telling them how to do it so they're not doing badly the other

thing we've been getting engineers to test it because there's been a lot of

doubt about whether the UK was going down the wrong route it's going down a route which does not have the cooperation of

Apple and Google and Australia found that that was a bad thing. Its app didn't really work

very well and it was thought the UK

app would also not work very well. So far our engineers are saying it does seem to

be sort of working. They've done a work around, a clever work around, which does make the phones talk to each other in a way

that's even surprised Apple so you know okay for now but a long way to go in

actually proving that overall this strategy is effective.
