is on the cut negotiations have not yet does publish the personalities who would leave the country in transition to a full democracy but all sides a hopeful that they will eventually reach an agreement on but. there's been a discussion on the points in which there were differences of viewpoints and i think the discussion is continuing in a positive infertile way and that has encouraged us. some of the issues that dealing with include the period of transition would it be two or four years and whether the military will retain control of security and defense ministers many people is a done credit the problem with the progress the chips fall for their clamor for peaceful democratic dispensation may be far from over but they say the struggle they started here could potentially shape a new era on the african continent. encouraged by progress so far now a string of concessions by the transitional military council the mood within the

protesters is one of defiance. today doesn't stop them gathered outside a building where the opposition popular congress party was holding a meeting chanting no place for islamists at least sixty four party members were wounded in the ensuing violence something that's been condemned by both the military and protest organizers. we've passed through along for the last thirty years every kind of crime has been committed against injustices corruption the killings all were done in the name of religion is why we want a secular government. protesters are also quick to point out that they are against a well and trying to deep state that wants to see a continuation of the policies of the past but they are foremost priority they say is the immense task chipping a transition from thirty years of military rule mohamad at the wall just how to.
4:02 am
and ever morgan is following this story from hard to and joins us now and it looks as though they have been making progress protest leaders and the military may coming to a political agreement to share power but their second round of talks have been perspire and why one mario both sides have said that they needed more consultations there's obviously the issue of how many representatives their representatives from each side would be on the transitional council now they've agreed on a joint military civilian transitional council but both sides are not sure or have not agreed on how many people will be representing representing their side in that council the military council wants a military transitional council with a civilian representation and the coalition of opposition they want a civilian transitional council council with military representation so both sides
4:03 am
said they're going to take a step back consult with each other to try to figure out what is the numbers that they can agree on the problem there and before they bring it to the table tomorrow and presented to each other so that they can see if they can take it forward from there now there are also other issues that the sides have to agree on like how long the transitional period should be the coalition wants it to be a period of four years they're saying that that is the number of the number of years it would take to break down a new constitution to establish laws and to make reforms on several agencies that have been there for the past thirty years now that the military the military council is saying that two years is what is needed and but they're also saying that the if the political parties can come together and agree on how long that transitional government should be not just the opposition coalition but other political parties as well then they would be able to agree on how long that that transition period would be so a lot of issues to discuss with each other and among themselves to try to decide how to going forward with the next round of talks to try to form a transitional government thank you very much with the latest from khartoum have

4:22 am
foundation breaking now works all of the time. an endowment of more than fifty billion dollars is the world's wealthiest private foundation and aims to enhance health care and education and to reduce poverty. it's a key player in global health care but controlled by just three trustees gates his wife melinda and billionaire warren buffett. the foundation's being credited with helping to save the lives of more than one hundred million children through increasing access to essential vaccines. but it's not without controversy as critics they have excessive influence in the health care policy in the developing world some argue it's forced resources but now rank focus on health care provides a band-aid to health crises that are caused by deeper political problems in many of
4:23 am
the world's poorest countries many of the people exposed to the diseases that the foundation aims to eradicate it in sub-saharan africa and that's where much of its work is focused but a recent african union summit in ethiopia is careful so that it's about gates came to meet with heads of state to talk about health care. almost as many children will be born in africa specifically what was he trying to accomplish and. to those who say he's. wanted to so problems that some of those same heads of state willing to address them so. we'll discuss this with bill gates as he talks to al-jazeera i mr bill gates thank you for talking to al-jazeera who are here in the capital of ethiopia which is the seat of the african union. african leaders are you hoping to talk to them. what are you
4:24 am
hoping to get out of it. i was invited to come to the summit and give a brief remarks on my focus is on the opportunity. of the human capital here in africa that the right things are done with the young people in terms of health and education that there's a very bright future for the continent there's a lot of great examples here. who have done an amazing job getting their primary health care system working and you know no reason why that can't be done in in all fifty four countries and in terms of specifics from the summit. to get anything concrete from from this meeting where the. the health meeting. they'll be a number of pledges and discussions about. the big health funds global fund global alliance for vaccines which both. over the next eighteen months have major
4:25 am
replenishment going on and seen that some domestic resources from the african countries are going into these causes i will help a lot with out and there needs to be a clear message about. you know these countries really valuing that work so that we can continue cutting debts cutting malaria. that's getting more innovative vaccines out to all the children of africa and the billion bill and melinda gates foundation focuses particularly on health care in some of the poorest countries in the world was the reason for this focus on health care when i was stunned to learn that hundreds of thousands of kids most of them in africa were dying of diarrhea over half of those lives could have been saved if there was a vaccine that was used in middle income in upper income countries called the rotavirus vaccine and so are pounding asian found other partners particularly the
4:26 am
aid donors and created the global lions for vaccines and so now that rotavirus vaccine is getting out to almost all of those children that these new vaccines are the biggest reasons why africa has cut child mortality almost in half since gabi was created so it's kind of amazing that you know for less than a thousand dollars you're saving a life you're improving the health of the survivors and as you improve health countries generally choose to reduce their population growth voluntarily so you're making all the challenges of the environment and jobs and stability that much more solvable into the future the foundation spends money on public education programs in the u.s. why is the public education in the u.s.
4:27 am
and health in the world's poorest countries why not education in the world's poorest countries as well as well by far the biggest problem we have is the global health program. and that's over sixty percent of our money it's helping to invent new tools like malaria vaccine aids vaccine and then supporting these primary health care systems to get out to all the children in the u.s. we picked education as our big cars. and you know once we've had a major major success in the u.s. i'm sure they'll be lessons for the entire world on that but you know we saw the biggest deficit in the u.s. is. the lack of equal opportunity which is what the country stands for the whole system although very expensive. you know it's. it's working you know quite well we didn't see anything. huge we could do there we do talk to
4:28 am
the people who do international education we think that's very important but taking on the big diseases and these delivery systems you know that some are priority that's where we have incredible depth of expertise and you know over the next several decades even something like malaria. we should get it close to eradication so they can really bring a. dramatic solution in health that enables education in prosperity so you think that if the world's poorest countries were healthy functioning democracy is that it's the governments that should be providing public health care but the gates foundation of course is spending a lot of money from public health care you know doing the government's job for them well absolutely it's a job for government to do and once countries reach a certain level of income say like vietnam or indonesia or india then they
4:29 am
graduate from a bill that he that is they're entirely using domestic resources and that's the goal of development aid is is to help countries graduate so the track record theirs is pretty fantastic now a lot of countries are. in terms of their being very poor of lack of governance that's not going to happen anytime soon and so as human beings. you know we should care about those doubts we should care about the malnutrition and we should help build that government capacity so we're not in to stay in any country for the long run that's that's the government's job but it takes something like creating a malaria vaccine. the poor countries who have malaria don't have the the skills or the resources to do it and the rich countries it's they haven't seen malaria for a long long time and so there are
4:30 am
a few things. some people call global public goods we're having a foundation. pick those scientists get behind them so the patients these are ten to twenty or projects many of them and you have to have multiple approaches and change based on you know what looks like it might be successful there's a rule that. our foundation saw that wasn't being filled but it's not the long term funding of the health system a lot of health care campaign is in many of these poorest countries skeptical of skeptical about the political will of the government to provide the health care that it should be providing to the population and you know often they argue is not a priority and you know corruption of course is a threat so too much is spent on big infrastructure projects and other things what can the gates foundation and what does the gates foundation do to try to hold these governments to account for the money that they should be spending on health care
4:31 am
well we're purely in an advisory role we're not. in control of any decisions the world health organization is in working with these countries the one thing we can do is. we can highlight the example is an africa has lots of example. even governments for some of the other functioning isn't too strong like zimbabwe manages to keep its primary health care system functioning fairly well some that are fairly well off like nigeria actually particularly in the north don't manage to make the primary health care system work well so when leaders are interested in improving then there are lessons you know from ethiopia or wander many many countries that can be applied so we're here to help when there's the will to go in and make that effort and i want to talk about the size and scale of. the gates
4:32 am
foundation which i understand is the largest philanthropic foundation in the world . you're spending about forty five billion dollars every year i mean not as much as or more than the entire government budgets of many of the countries in this continent so that comes with of course an enormous amount of influence you're a very big player in terms of global health care have it understand that the trust is controlled by just three people that you and your wife melinda are in warren buffett is not an enormous concentration of of power and in a sector that is of course meant to represent and help millions of people are meant to include a diversity of opinions and voices where the resources we're using for our work don't come from governments they got. solicit from other people this is taking the success that warren buffett had at berkshire and the success i had at microsoft in
4:33 am
applying those resources in. the premarket system. you know people can take their wealth and you know spend it on. consumption or pass along to their kids you know what we've chosen to do is focus on the diseases of the poor and make sure that the best scientists in the world are working on each idea and malaria and malnutrition and prematurity things where the understanding is still not there and. it be great if that had been done before we came along. actually unhealthy the amount of controversy is less than you'd expect because the idea of saving children's lives is just not that controversy all and so taking and we built the infrastructure that can measure. these deaths in the malnutrition through what's called the international health metrics and evaluation
4:34 am
which is funded by us now we know the various causes of death that's called the global burden of disease it's a brilliant website let's see over time by country by age by disease what's going on and it's clear you should take the things like malaria diarrhea and ammonia that are killing lots and lots of kids and figure out how to say how to save those lives and so you know there's always tactics about ok which drugs should we put the money into or someone thinks ok you know my disease is right for a breakthrough but we're all united by this idea that lives have the quote value and what's being done you know falls way way short of taking the richness of the world in the great science of the world and helping the children particularly in africa to learn to live healthy lives. in
4:35 am
a lot of these poorest countries democracy activists and political opposition would . argue that healthcare is just one symptom of a much more fundamental problem of governance a lack of democracy and we're talking about countries that have disputed elections or sometimes no elections and so. they would say there's a myriad of problems and health care is the symptom of something much more fundamental i mean you have the foundation has a lot of wealth and a lot of influence just by going for health care is it like you're putting maybe just a band-aid on these much bigger more fundamental issues. well certainly if someone knew how to write checks and create perfect democracies then that should be looked at as a potential in investment to supposed to you know giving a kid him easels vaccine and keeping them alive. and i'd still argue that the
4:36 am
insoles fact seen no matter what form of government that child lives under those parents do care and in a malaria measles vaccine is a fairly cheap thing we've cut deaths and how often and you know there is no great correspondence between the form of government and how well the health care is run in a nigeria collects the least in taxes. any country any size and so even though it is a democracy. the primary health care system in the north is not delivering and so. you know it doesn't just because you have a democracy doesn't necessarily mean that those things happen. now as countries get wealthier. which does mean being serious about the help they do tend to become more democratic do you think is the sequential change in development
4:37 am
begins with health care that can then bring the developmental benefits and if so how does that work well of the overall aid. which is about one hundred thirty billion a year. from which is mostly from the rich governments in our pound asian. is a is pretty small percent it is large relative to foundations because we're over five five billion a year but it's small compared to the government budgets of these these donor amounts about twenty percent goes to health and that's gone up quite a bit since two thousand partly the hiv emergency partly the realisation of the profound success you can have it very very low cost the fact that we measure and we can tell you even at the subnational level what the did seize bertha looks like and it's the health care system working well or not. and and sub somebody wants to fix
4:38 am
it we actually get them lots of timely data pretty. small district area. so yes help no one would ever say that help alone. isn't enough but if all those lives had been saved for me to be if we weren't coming along cutting malaria deaths even the kids who survive are greatly damaged by disease and the malnutrition and so if you want to invest in their education which of course you should you want them to be healthy enough that cerebral malaria or malnutrition don't leave them stunted and we know that the learning outcomes for the kids which are pretty high percentage over a third of those are very very limited helped fits in with you know infrastructure and government governance and education as the things that you
4:39 am
know most most people now live in middle income countries and. so we've learned a lot about development. and particularly the critical world health place i wanted to ask you about the role of intellectual property rights in in public health care in global health care because microsoft fought hard to try and to be fair laws that would favor corporations in protecting intellectual property rights and of course the argument for that corporations would be more inclined to invest more if if their. intellectual property is protected so they can more returns but many health care campaigners argue that the laws should go the opposite way with the laws as they exist. to the detriment of the people in the poorest country who need medicines they argue that the intellectual property laws favor the
4:40 am
big pharma and disadvantage the poor people who depend on medicines to survive having moved from i think you know to global public health what's your view on this now well sort of mischaracterized in the microscope as in any case the. the ideal case is if a disease exists in the rich world and in the developing moral then you get all your profit recovery and your r. and d. . risk from the middle income in rich countries with pricing and so when gabi goes in to get vaccines or one global fund goes in to get malaria drugs drugs there's no intellectual property increasing the price for that is it's the cost base and so our foundation is an expert in ok what is it costing on the margin
4:41 am
to make these things and can we use folly and commit search. upfront spending to get. a process optimized and so the developing countries are getting these medicines at a cost base price in the mean time the fact that these companies have an incentive to invent new medicines that's the great greatest hope we have. particularly for the non-communicable diseases where today the costs of cured to so very very high you know so sickle cell disease you know we hope that gets solved in the rich countries and then. we can take can cost reduce that solution and bring it to these countries so you won't see patent lawsuits in poor countries where some day soon something there was one brief thing like that. in south africa was sort of low middle income where on the aids drugs first the
4:42 am
pharmaceuticals didn't have the teared pricing and that was a mistake they agreed it was a mistake and so we're very involved in making sure that that those medicines are made very very cheap in fact we just gave. four hundred million of volume guarantees to switch the first line in the medicine to a new. new set of drugs that are much less likely to have drug resistance and so we made sure that the cost base manufactured because of those fine guarantees they could stay at this less than one hundred dollars a year so we are you know we have a lot of smart people making sure that medicines are getting to these poor countries at absolutely the lowest cost possible and in a somebody sees an idea to do that better in a world the place that will take a look at that because we have no incentive other than improving these health
4:43 am
outcomes and i read the bill and melinda gates foundation is due to wind up. but if you melinda have pasta on. why not keep up the good work because many of the foundations will keep going for ever well the. because our biggest causes these diseases that are more prevalent in the poor countries we hope to have largely solved you know polio is close to getting done smallpox was stopped quite some time ago. you know during my lifetime recently within twenty years after. the malaria v t v every one of these diseases can either be eradicated or brought to a very low level so there will be rich people in the future and they will understand better whether the problem is you know genetic modification robots you know what progress still needs to be made on climate change or other environmental issues so
4:44 am
you know i can't from my grave be as analytical as i am today and so these resources will go to global help the doing our best to get rid of these things so people you know it's like when you read in a book about consumption and somebody died of consumption you're like what is that well of course it's tuberculosis but in the rich world you don't see it much anymore these diseases should be a distant memory. by the time our foundation. wraps up its work and in the next ten years would you think we can achieve with pretty exciting we have a pipeline of new vaccines. you know of course there's the danger that the rich world is distracted you know between turning in more or. you know various polarization things the idea of keeping the sede generous that's something that we need to remind people that even though it's far away even though everyone wants
4:45 am
while they'll hear about some small percentage that want to stray the actual impact of these donations to lift these countries up is pretty fantastic so assuming we maintain this great commitment that the donor countries should be very proud of and has been used to build capacity and drive towards eventual graduation. you know i think by two thousand and thirty we can cut under five deaths in half again so went from twelve million a year before a foundational started now to six million a year and by twenty thirty we think with some innovation and better delivery we can get that below three million a year so that's you know down to two and a happier sent you know from ten percent to five percent to two and a half percent. and so you know time is on our side the science is making progress people are seeing the good examples as long as people maintain
4:46 am
