access to the vaccine until 2022 there is some hope though the world health organization says more than 170 countries have joined it's plan to distribute 2000000000 doses for fairly around the globe by the end of next year about 40 vaccines are currently being tested on humans china says it could have one ready for the public by november katrina you reports. while the world awaits a coronavirus vaccine hundreds of thousands in china are receiving their 2nd job of one being tested there medical workers military officers and civil servants were among those given emergency use approval for experimental vaccines earlier this year 9 of the over 30 coronavirus vaccines undergoing human trials around the world are being produced in china china's center for disease control says 1 may be rolled out to the public as early as november but you know china is at the forefront of the whole world in the development and production of vaccine there are currently.

$900.00 world that have entered phase 3 and china accounts for. numbers of domestic coronavirus cases have led to chinese companies completing late stage phase 3 trials abroad stated company sign a farm began testing in the united arab emirates in july frontline medical workers there have also been given emergency doses. vaccines are also being tested in. thousands in brazil and bangladesh have been given vaccines by the company sign of back while the chinese military affiliated can see no biologics is conducting tests in russia and saudi arabia china says it's developing that seems for the common good but there are a few western democracies involved in partnerships with chinese companies analysts say beijing is instead. so-called friendly nations and using a potential vaccine to expand its influence philippine president. says he bled to

be given early access to a chinese vaccine ruling out confrontation with beijing over territorial disputes in the south china sea chinese leaders have promised similar access to indonesia and countries along the river but not everyone is convinced. i don't think the international community will have. this kind of venison diplomacy between will be more risky much riskier than diplomacy in china c.d.c. says vaccine trials are going smoothly and new side effects have been documented but medical experts in the u.s. and u.k. have described chinese allusions to use programs as problematic saying effectiveness cannot be proven before testing is completed. i'll just irritating a great sylvester's chief medical officer at securus one of the largest flu vaccine

companies in the world he joins me live by skype from new jersey sir thank you so much for joining us here on al-jazeera another company that you work for is collaborating with the university of queensland both in the development and then obviously then crucially the manufacturing of any future vaccine there's a lot of trials going on around the world right now explain to us what difference it makes when one of those will hopefully find a successful vaccine what are the following steps. well yes we are a thank you for having me on once one of the trials breaks through or one of the companies has a successful clinical program they will then give it to regulatory agencies around the globe to have but licensed or used for an emergency youth use authorization and it's with that then no manufacturer would sell it without having a government approved it prior to it going into large scale human up election and

that is the stage that no one has reached yet even though i suppose according to different countries different tests might have reached different levels the truth is no one has has has it approved yet but explain to us what the manufacturing process is like because it does seem that a lot of. a lot of companies actually started the manufacturing waiting for the vaccine to be approved so once one is approved how quickly could it be sent around the world well in this case because it's a pandemic what they've done is they've taken the vaccine that they're using in their clinical trials and they're hitting their bets that it's going to work so they started the manufacturing process typically what we would do is we would wait for the clinical trials to be over with we would wait for a regulatory approval and a licensure and then we would start manufacturing the vaccine because this is so important and because it's a pandemic many of those steps have been shortened yes but the aid group oxfam is

saying that the wealthiest countries in the world accounting for 13 percent of the population have actually bought 50 percent half of the promised vaccine doses what is the risk that even when the vaccine is approved and then manufactured ultimately it's just not going to reach many many parts of the world. well i do understand that that is a concern and i know the w.h.o. has is keeping a close eye on that we are working with international agencies to make sure that if we are back seen as successful that it not only get to people in the developed world but also in the developing but how are you trying to ensure that that happens and i appreciate the things you know you don't have a successful vaccine yet but how are you trying to looking ahead ensure that that is not what's going to happen when we look at large public health agencies like the w.h.o.

like pothole and a whole host of others like the aids foundation that are working to try to make it more equitable and those are the conversations that we are involved with to make sure that it's not just going to a developed country i suppose so where it goes also hugely depends on how much the vaccine would cost a year or stage in trials you have any idea how much a single dose at a might cost well in the early stages of a vaccine it's very expensive because we're trying to make sure that we've got all the rating greedy and senate and then it gets filled up and so making 100 doses is far doses much more expensive than making a 1000000 doses or 50000000 so i don't have an answer for how much ours might be costing today in our phase one trials in what may be when we if we are successful when we develop 50000000 doses i suppose i mean obviously

a demand for this is going to outstrip the demand i would guess for almost any other kind of vaccine around the world so do you expect the cost roughly like a normal flu jab or are you saying it's just impossible to tell at this point. well i think most companies have publicly stated that they wanted to get out to the best majority of people and so we are an influenza company that's what we do and i think that we are very committed to having price parity and that in that area we all know that there is obviously a huge political pressure in getting a vaccine out we're seeing it specifically in the united states because there's an election but obviously that's hugely important to every country in the world do you think that there is a risk that many people are not going to trust the vaccine that ultimately they're going to feel it's being rushed out is that something that that you are aware of or thinking about well i know that in our company and that's what i can speak to in

our company we are focused on safety as our number one issue but don't forget that and i believe that all the companies are are thinking that safety is critical but that's where the regulatory agency needs the food and drug administration and others around the globe they're the ones that ultimately will decide have have we. crossed the very are to demonstrate to them that it's not only effective but it's also safe and so we're it's a 2 part system we play a very serious role but so does so do national governments and the like greg sylvester chief medical officer at securus one of the largest flu vaccine companies in the world sir thank you so much for having shared your expertise with us thank you. coming up in the news hour a young man is killed when supporters of ivory coast's president clash with rival

hallowed. ground. but police work they can. many have been reluctant to go to the new tent camp just down the road afraid of the conditions many saying they believe once they enter they won't be able to leave a group of people wearing hazmat suits against the coronavirus have now joined the riot police i think the message here at the moment certainly is one of peaceful force a very clear message from the authorities at the time is up to the refugees and migrants bending here that they need to move to the county and if they don't do that willingly that force will be used these police officers were dressed in protective clothing due to the coronavirus as they motion for people to wake up and make their way to the camp many started to move telling us they had no choice he said go go go go go go go it was so of the way problems you know not even here

non-governmental organizations that are caring for the displeased people in the city not a state which seemed that you straight if it was is up to thought to 1000 people displaced and affected by the floods in just this state alone so you can understand the magnitude of the problem but the main concern of the agencies right now the residents of up to 18 villages that have been totally marooned on cut off from the rest of the state by the floods they have tried to have a quite some people but many of the people from these villages are not willing to leave their herds and their crops that are still under water behind and the concern for those people mostly one of the 40 candidates barred from running in ivory coast's election next month says there won't be a vote unless they are on the ballot former prime minister agree sorrow is calling for protests to continue against the reelection bid of president ouattara

welcome back here's a reminder of the top stories on al-jazeera about 5000 refugees stranded on the greek island of lesbos have been really housed in a new tent city more than 12000 people were left homeless what a fire destroyed the overcrowded morea camp 9 days ago so dan is bracing for more floods and heavy rains that are also expected to hit neighboring ethiopia more than 100 people have been killed by flash floods that have wreaked havoc in sudan since late july and the world health organization has sounded the alarm over the rising rate of corona virus transmission across europe more than 300000 cases of the. past

7 days the w.h.o. is urging countries not to cut quarantine periods warning the sacrifices made could be wasted. despite the growing concern the bright lights and curtain calls of london's west end the are coming back with some theaters preparing to reopen after months of closures but the vast majority of venues remains closed and there are worries that pandemics devastating effect will be permanent a study by oxford economics says predicted that the u. case theaters and concert venues will lose nearly $4000000000.00 in revenue this year about $5000.00 people in the theatre industry have lost their jobs more than half of them in london the british government has promised more than $2000000000.00 to prop up the sector but more than 70 percent of the $290000.00 people who work in

theater are freelance and union say many of them just don't qualify for government support well kenny wax is one of the producers of 6 the musical which is due to reopen to london's west end in november is also president of the society of london theatre he joins us now from london via skype sir thank you so much for joining us here on al-jazeera no 6 the musical which is actually about the 6 wives of henry v 8 c. is actually going to be the 1st i believe the work to reopen in london's west end in november so how will things be different what if you put in place that will allow you to reopen safely. well good evening barbara and thanks for having me on 6 is quite unique as from the title 66 to 6 actresses on stage and 4 in the band so it's a small to medium scale musical and that's what rian abel's us to get this show on because we have low risks and lower costs working very closely with the theater

chain imax which is owned by the c.e.o. . we're putting a bunch of plans into place we're looking at obviously audience seated forward and wearing face coverings we do box office algorithms which mean that when people buy the tickets they went they won't be enabled 'd to sit next to the next grouping the always be one seat in between to be a contactless ticket system so they don't need to. physically pick up tickets from the box office and of course to be testing backstage of all of our costs on a regular basis as well as well ventilated order tourism so quite a lot of procedures being pursued place and very much controlling audiences through the building with the flow a one way systems together in a now quickly and the other thing about 6 is that it's a show without an interval so that's no queuing at the toilets in the interval no cheering at the bars in interval come in see the show enjoy the show and back out into the open on the street now you'll reopen in november but take

a tour actually going on sale friday morning tomorrow so you expecting me guess you're hoping for people to buy but also considering that tourism is obviously down in london and a lot of tourists would be a much attracted to the west and so what do you expect sales to be. yes i mean we've had the cited on the theory so we've had all these research done mucker search on for more stories mcintyre is one of the big market research companies and they've their research shows that 70 percent of what he says really archaean excited to come back into theatre into the west end remember it's not since anyone's really had the opportunity to watch the life they train dools that's a long time in people's lives so we are hopeful in fact we've had advance sales in the last couple of days and they've gone tremendously well so the omens a very good in terms of people coming back specifically for 6 and we also produce a couple a small circle as we produce that goes wrong shows the play that goes wrong and

again i think those light hearted comedies in small faces will be easy because they do tend to rely on the domestic market and you talk about the the international tourist market which shows he's very closed off a longer moment so more than anything we want stage 5 as all of the doubt in our culture sector is 5 point roadmap and stage 5 is to open stages without social distancing when that happens the west end can be properly you can see business in the big musicals can open. the other huge restraint on that is that we are unable to get insurance for our industry because the commercial insurance brokers can't offer it with a pandemic lowell's so one of the things that the industry is asking for from government is a government backed insurance scheme to look after the cost and the risk of producers opening that large scale productions in the few months and you sound quite optimistic about your production and we certainly hope everything add goes

well and people come to see it but of course the west end is one thing and there is regional theatres are smaller productions that perhaps not have the saying paul how worried are you about the industry in general because we were looking just listening to some of the the figures about 5000 people have lost their jobs and of course most people who work in theater are freelance they haven't been able to receive assistance from the government so you may have a white perhaps about your own production but in general in how much trouble do you think the theatre industry is. i maybe i give the wrong impression i am very worried about my own business because you know the entire industry is interconnected all in states you mention the 290000 people working in the sector 70 percent of those it's read on says then look to all of the government support schemes j.r.'s they will all end and without productions coming back on they will have no financial support whatsoever so it's a huge problem for the industry i had full productions playing in the west end at the time of lockdown but i also have 4 or 5 productions on tour around the u.k.

in the major provincial faces and the problem is that those theaters need consecutive week programming so good for one show to come back because then they got no shows for the next 2 or 3 weeks so we need productions back filling theaters all over the country because it's not just the west and this is very much a national ecology over into waves. and into even structure which is too since last a large scale mid-scale theaters and pray don't says actors musicians all over the country desperate desperate to get back to work well certainly london hasn't felt the same without the theater is a close both in the west and then and then out of london as well so cadillacs we wish you and the best with 6 other musical thank you so much for having joined us thank you very much robert. dozens of israelis have protested in tel aviv as the country prepares to become the 1st to impose a 2nd coronavirus lockdown doctors and scientists who organize the rallies say the
