didn't. play an important role. in. ringback al-jazeera. hello i'm barbara sara this is the al-jazeera news hour live from london thank you for joining us coming up in the next 60 minutes the geopolitics of immunization some countries have too much vaccine others not at all the w.h.o. says richer countries must think globally. facemasks will soon become compulsory on all public transport in the us this is corona virus infections past 26000000.

unkept promises in sudan with the economic crisis continues to fan the flames of discontent. why despite being the world's 2nd largest economy europe is home to a growing number of people that are living in poverty. i'm devon ash with the sports of manchester united lose ground in the premier league title race and in france a player is injured as moss a football fans attack the team's training center. the world health organization says governments should pause their coronavirus vaccine rollouts once health workers and vulnerable people have been inoculated to ensure that there is a global supply the organization says it's. worried about vaccine nationalism or

the decision to stockpile vaccine by one country means inevitably that others miss out and as the virus continues to spread around the world more governments are closing their borders france has banned all but essential travel from outside the e.u. singapore has suspended its so-called travel bubble with malaysia south korea and germany and south africa joins a growing list of countries on a u.s. travel ban since the pandemic began more than 2000000 people have now died globally and there have been 102000000 infections while there is hope immunization will help contain covert 19 the w.h.o. is warning equal access to vaccines around the world will speed up a global recovery lagers us the most is vaccine nationalism and we've actually been warning about this even long before the the vaccines have come online it's it might

be politically attractive leaders obviously want to be looking after their people but it's very very short sighted because we need to be vaccinating around the world and we need to vaccinate the people are most exposed to these fires it's a health and folk line workers who are fighting battling this virus for us every day and those who are most likely to be sick the ones that the health care workers are battling to save and that's the older people and people with co-morbidities but that has to happen in every country around the world well dr moga kemal jani is a senior health policy adviser to the peoples vaccine alliance she's also a consultant to un aids and joins us now from oxford via skype madame thank you so much for joining us here on al-jazeera your reaction i mean i'm assuming you agree with the words there of the w.h.o. but to the situation that we find ourselves in was a predictable. well it was part of that when we've been as

a people vaccine many organization i've been really warning about that loss here since last since last year because what is happening is that it's like you have a small part and the big people are just trying to take the biggest chunk for themselves and even crumbs for say developing countries instead of looking ahead and saying that the problem is not getting a trunk for me the problem is the pie is small so we need to have a bigger pie so we can have enough supply now we don't we still have the small pine because there was no serious action from last year so with this more why we have to look at a short term solution and long term solutions and when i mean long term i don't mean like 5 years more from now or something i mean after we get. vaccinating.

health workers and people at risk so yes housework and people at risk should be vaccinated or not part of the world then we have to think of who is next because that's just that's not enough to control the virus you really need to vaccinate war people to get to the hope so how we're going to get there. if we can't in start thinking and implementing actually measure that expand production you really need to have all companies that can produce vaccines to start producing by sharing technology there are companies in the north in europe in america in other countries there are companies in the south developing countries do have companies that if you shirt acknowledge you with them and if you license intellectual property they can produce doses of vaccine and we have more millions and millions more vaccines this is this is what it will help us not tomorrow. no but it will

help us to on if we started last year in might have helped us you know for the doctor now but that didn't happen w.h.o. has a mechanism called call the technology axis poor where it counts for silly sharing of technology licensing of intellectual property. between the currently producing companies and potential producing companies and then we if that is operational lived and get support from rich countries get support from developing countries and pharmaceutical companies start to put their technology their intellectual property in new we will have more vaccines and we won't be in this position if we don't do that and we just focus on sharing the scenes now the dorsets now we will be in the same position going into of the year and next year we'll be saying exactly the same thing will be raising exactly the same problem so

we need the short term solution of sharing to assist after vaccinating you know 4 countries here after. house workers. people they shared with other countries to start the long term solution now when speaking to one of my colleagues before the interview you came up with what i think is a very clear analogy that this is like when your whole village is on fire and people just focus on just kind of putting out the fire in their own houses and i think you know put like that everyone would agree but if i can just play devil's advocate i suppose we're both in the u.k. the u.k. has as strong a call that's stronger call death rate compared to the population a new variant and i suppose the government here would say well it's not just health workers for example we need to vaccinate the vulnerable the health workers and potentially teachers if we are to reopen schools i'm just saying do you appreciate

the difficulty in in getting rich countries if we want to put it like that to give vaccine doses when they themselves and the u.k. as a good example of this are really struggling to come to terms with covert. well when we say a if you're mean which says housework as an actress groups every if you're concerned there are teachers that interest groups they front line workers at risk they get the vaccines as well but this is the problem we don't have enough supply and that's why we should start now immediately to get more companies still to produce more vaccines i don't understand we have we are in the middle of a pandemic and in the you know this is the village was on fire and we're trying to get all the water to my house and never mind the other houses while what we we need to do is get more fire engines for everybody why are we putting the fire off we

just get more and more otherwise you know the fire will carry on if you vaccinate people here and leave people out there in other countries where we started getting these. changes that ends up lying to us and the virus might be how do we know that it's going to be the new changes the new variants of the virus are going to be still respond to the vaccines i mean the new vaccines now have less figure in south africa in the in the clinical trial than in the us because of the new variation was the virus themselves africa well you're not going to control i mean there is the same variation is now in the us and in other countries we showed them orders for how long. so it is from a pure selfish point of view you can from public polls that really understand that you can control the violence in one country you have to control it in all countries so you have to make sure you have enough doses for all countries i'm going to

wisely you know we just can't control it no global economy is not going to google one insurer i mean of course i mean it's in everyone's interest to control covered globally because it's put almost an economy on its knees i mean again we are having this conversation we're both in europe work and seeing sort of tension between the u.k. and the european union over vaccines i have to say that we've also had good news more vaccines approved and not just in the west but in other parts of the world and do you think that that will be the solution that in a way this is the darkest hour because we don't have enough vaccines but that actually judging on the past few weeks even we are going to be seeing more vaccines get approval and more vaccines being available. well seeing more and more of a scene getting approval doesn't mean that you have bills it is in the health center that you know they still have to be manufactured in a company so what you need is more companies to do the manufacturing you know this

is the 1st time ever i think that we talk about vaccinating the whole world all the majority to reach out immunity want to books and in the majority of the whole world this is just millions and millions and millions of doses 'd where are you going to get that it's not one of 2 or 3 companies that can produce unmount this is just huge amount we already have shortages of some medicines and some vaccine to women who have one or 2 companies producing them so we don't want to repeat that because it's a pandemic you know we can't we don't have the luxury to wait until company x. and company or i produce even if they enhance their production still it has a limit this isn't it that i don't understand it still has a limit why don't we think of expanding or increasing the capacity of production why don't countries do it governments don't do that why doesn't the w.h.o. mechanism get function now and get you know faster leave to the knowledge are

transferred out pharmaceutical companies don't want person who's going to leave i want to see which company is going to lead on that dared to leave well i think a lot of people are obviously trying to address all the issues that you've raised but docomo that come out yet a senior health policy adviser to the people's vaccine alliance i'm sure will be discussing this issue at length again soon and for the moment thank you thank you. health officials in the west african nation of senegal meanwhile say coronavirus variants are fueling a surge in infections very much what we were referring to a little bit earlier itself system is completely overwhelmed that medical students are being mobilized to make up for a shortage of doctors while prisons have been turned into treatment centers as reports from the capital dhaka. if only the dead could speak says up to juve then the living would know of the pain and distress caused by

coronavirus jew for isn't even aware that cove in $1000.00 killed his 40 year old friend was stuff again till anon tops he was carried out he now pictures him all alone and gasping for air in a hospital corridor. died in very difficult circumstances he fell ill at home after he got treatment he died we were later told he got the corona virus in the hospital and that's what killed him. senegal like many other african countries is going through a 2nd wave of infections dr abdulai buso was in charge of the government response says the trends don't look good then you very little variant from the u.k. has been detected in the country it's the mantra. poorest people respect. and. it's critical for people to respect it a curfew is in place and both public and private gatherings are banned but many

people aren't following the restrictions allowing the virus to spread rapidly to many patients not enough hospitals before the pandemic the senegalese health system was already overstretched now authorities are turning prisons into treatment centers faced with an increased case of infections and whilst the government is praising medical staff with public messages like this one there aren't enough doctors to keep the health system running. to make up for this shortage the government has drafted in medical students to work in the wards and treat patients but they are not qualified and are still learning by one of overwhelmed and being sent to all types of wards some days i'm a cardiologist in the from the just a gynecologist i'm asked to do it all. will be months before most african countries get access to vaccines with health experts predicting the outbreak will only get

worse causing more deaths before it can be contained nicholas hawke al-jazeera the car. portugal says it's about to run out of beds in its intensive care units as a grapples with the world's highest coronavirus test hole per capita health ministry data shows there are only 7 beds left on the mainland out of 850 some covert 1000 patients who are critically ill are being sent to portuguese islands including madeira on friday the regional government there said it had 157 beds available portugal is also recorded the highest number of new cases per capita in the past week more than 12000 people have died from the corona virus so far. go to the u.s. now which has officially recorded 26000000 coronavirus cases since the start of the pandemic facemasks will soon become compulsory for anyone using public transport the government is struggling to meet its pledge to vaccinate $100000000.00 people

within the 1st $100.00 days of joe biden's presidency and on capitol hill he's facing an early test as he tries to get approval for a $1.00 trillion dollars economic stimulus package classical enjoins us live now from capitol hill let's focus on that last point 1st of this agreement right now seems to center around the issue of minimum wage right tell us more about that. republicans say they have a whole bunch of problems with this package is the amount that will add to the deficit one of them but again one of the big things as you mentioned is this $15.00 an hour minimum wage this is a big deal for democrats joe biden campaigned that he would do this and so he's included it in this coded relief bill it would increase it gradually over time now there are some republicans who are saying take that out let's deal with cove it and then we'll deal with the minimal it's later so this is going to be the 1st real test biden said president biden said he wanted to unify people who wanted to work with republicans so right now they've been spending the last few days trying to

figure out if they can in fact or through work with republicans and if they get to the point where they think they can't and they want to go ahead and push ahead with this $15.00 minimum wage there is a way they can do it i'm not going to get all wanky with with all the parliamentary procedures but if they do it as a budget item then they can pass it with just 50 democratic senators with kamel harris the vice president breaking the tie that could be tough because big business campaign contribution contributors don't necessarily want to see a $15.00 minimum wage put into place and they could be putting pressure there's no margin of error here they have to have all 50 democratic senators so right now you can bet the biden team is trying to sort of whip up the vote see if they've got it and then see if they push through without republicans and meanwhile there is a focus on prevention as well of the contagion rates going up and the c.d.c.'s mandate had the wearing of masks on public transport for tuesday and tell us a little bit more about how that will work but also how you think it will be

received because we've seen over the past few months haven't we how the wearing of masks has become incredibly political and divisive in the united states. it really is and this is about as close as president biden can get to making a national mask mandate because he can for example tell people in arizona that they have to wear masks if the governor doesn't agree but he can say if you want to get out a bus in arizona then you have to wear masks it is incredibly politicized if you live in places like washington d.c. you literally can walk down the street and never see anyone not wearing a mask but if you talk to people who live in more likely more conservative states they don't see anyone wearing a mask not in stores not in restaurants and so this is joe biden's way of trying to make it less political and more normal so if people for example get on a bus or a subway or train or a taxi or ferry or her plane and they see everyone wearing a mask he's hoping that it will become more normal less politicized seems highly

unlikely given how entrenched american americans are with this issue and it's not quite clear exactly what the repercussions are going to be for example if i go to get on a bus without a mask and it you know how they're going to enforce that so that still being worked out they say there could and will be penalties so we'll have to see how that plays out but more than that this gives any mission to the people who are the flight attendants and the bus drivers to say you know not only do you have to wear a mask you have to wear a particular kind of mask you can't just put your shirt over your nose and say look i'm i'm covered so it's a very detailed list of what does qualify as a mask and it says as of monday at midnight you have to wear one if you're going to be on any sort of transportation it's going to be interesting to see what the reactions will be come tuesday for the moment practical hain at capitol hill always good to talk to you thank you. coming up on this news hour from london could copper infused products provide a vital defense against the coronavirus the details in our special report from

bread fuel and cooking gas. the government says the scarcity of commodities and the rise in market prices are caused by shortages of hard currency because of limited international trade and exports while the official rate is $55.00 sudanese pounds to the us dollar most of it comes from outside the official system or the parallel market the difference between the 2 has been climbing steeply the government has held to donor conferences with the aim of improving the economy it's also negotiated with the us government to be taken off its list of states sponsoring terrorism and open its markets for international trade and investment in exchange for sudan had to agree to recognize israel one of the few arab countries to do so last year but the economic problems run deeper so than owes more than $60000000000.00 to the world bank which has made it difficult for it to get more loans to ease its economic crisis and since the government subsidizes medicine and fuel for some sectors it needs hard currency so the demand for cash with the

parallel market being the only option has brought down the value of its local currency increasing the rate of inflation and frustration for many here the administration says it's found solutions to some of these challenges. the report we have is that there is no screws to you there are lines for fuel medicine and brood to get daily updates to know what's the root cause for scarcity no one in the government is blowing to what the people suffer we've spoken to the banks responsible for importing goods and they will increase the amount of fuel tank is imported as well as weight and medicine to ease the situation back on the streets those barricading the main roads say they hope the government listens to them and understand that even if the commodities are available it won't mean much because they simply can't afford to buy them he will morgan al-jazeera. there's lots more still to come this hour including the little piggies who could go to the market the single market that is how brics it is impacting the u.k.'s animal farmers and meat

struggles to deal with a new wave of infections the country has a large number of products on the market made of copper which some say can provide protection but there is question as to how effective the mineral actually is and human reports from santiago. they say necessity is the mother of invention. and nowadays nothing seems more necessary than finding novel ways to combat covert 91 option being applauded by judy's government is a formula that uses copper to destroy the virus clearly see that only good big i congratulate you for senate izing your 331 stores with nano copper particles this is a major step in protecting stuff from customers the strong n.t. microbial properties of copper which can destroy viruses bacteria and fungus are well known especially here in chile the world's number one copper producer.

a firm called the copper company has been developing copper impregnated textiles for the last 7 years. in some terrible factory copper i own thread a woven into the fabric but how effective is called birth specifically against coping 19 in that you see it only gives you a good analysis conducted by the immunology lubber tree of the university of burning switzerland demonstrates that 5 minutes after coming in contact with the fabric 84.8 percent of the virus is eliminated and after 2 hours 95 percent. according to the study commissioned by the company copper ions destroy the membrane of the virus thereby neutralizing it look at their mind they could add. another go at it the cop was integrated into a different products we've developed a line that includes face small 6 sheets for hospital bed scraps for medical staff

troubled kids as well as south covers for taxi seats to prevent infections. but there are still some questions about the overall efficacy of copper infused products such as this face mask some scientists argue that while migratory findings are very promising it may be less so out here on the street or in hospitals we need more information to see how it works in real life before we can recommend it broadly but it's a very interesting and really edits root very simple idea. that for most everything related to the novel virus nothing is yet certain yet the bet is that these golden threads of copper could provide a welcome additional layer of protection. you see in human al-jazeera santiago. the u.n. counterterrorism chief is urging that foreign children the stranded in refugee

camps in northeast syria be repatriated many of the sons and daughters of those fleeing the collapse of eisel like the me of our own cause says there are around a $27000.00 children at risk of radicalization within the camps they're currently guarded predominantly by kurdish fighters but in january the un warned of a surge in violence in the largest of the camps. it's estimated that around $8000.00 foreign children from 60 countries are in the camps. argued they should be treated by member states as victims and that those under 14 should not be detained or prosecuted almost 1000 have been repatriated to a number of countries including russia and kazakhstan only a fraction have been carried out to european countries where ruth hetherington is near a middle east spokesperson for the international committee of the red cross she joins

us now from fed navels there in france madame thank you so much for joining us year and al-jazeera definitely a very painful and thorny issue this one 1st of all can you start by telling us what situation these children face in the camps 1st of all what ages are we talking about and what is their day to day life like. thank you barbara the conditions in the camps of which alcohol is when are incredibly harsh the humanitarian situation there is dire and after 62000 people or so in alcohol it's thought that 2 thirds of them are children many of them under the age of 5 and so the conditions at any stage of the year are terrible in winter even more so when the weather conditions and rains flooding extremely cold weather and makes life in the tents really quite unbearable the children don't have the clothes that they need their winter clothes and day to day life beyond the terrible environmental conditions and

they simply don't have what children need there's no formal education there is there is there's hardly any there's no toys playgrounds they're missing all the trappings of a simple and normal childhood and on top of all of this that they really grueling physical conditions and top of the fact that they really don't have anything that children need is also they are stranded in legal limbo and so any sense of a future is really something that they don't really have and yes these children should be victims are considered are victims and should be considered as such all of them and the international committee of the red cross is very concerned for for all children under the age of 18 but even those young adults who were children when they were brought to this to these conflicts and so we are urging states as we have been doing and as we continue to do to really to step up that it is time for states

to find a way to act to bring about this series of long term solutions that that this these these children need and not just the or in children is in fact the vast majority of people in our iraqis and are syrians so the kind of solutions we're talking about that they're really needed for everyone i think in the. perception of many people there would be a sort of separation there because certainly in europe there's been a lot of discussions about what should be done with the very young children of perhaps european citizens who chose to join i sall and go there and then had children there so there's that discussion and then there is of course people that were escaping i so i realize that your organization is neutral you often deal with countries well in a sort of ongoing confidential dialogue so i'm not expecting you to kind of name names but a lot of these children are actually stateless what has the reaction been of many countries to the idea of taking children out of this you know pretty hellish

situation. a lot of the children are stateless and it's also something that we try to call attention to because leaving children stateless making anyone stateless is really not a solution. this iteration is incredibly complex and some countries have been repatriating and reintegrating which is key and that's what what needs to be done and other is are more reluctant to we acknowledge that states have their security concerns but again it just comes down to the fact that children no matter how their parents what their parents or to use of tearing what their parents did no matter how they ended up in these complex they are victims and they need to be treated as such and so any sort of search for a solution needs to start with what's in their best interest and that is being brought home keeping families together we are edge pre-packed reason family unity it should really be the norm bringing mothers and children back bringing siblings

keeping siblings together it's usually in the child's best interests and it's what international law required here in europe has been liking behind the in doing this in europe was of course also repeatedly hit by ice all inspired attacks over the past few years how do you think you can change the perception of the european public and the politicians when it comes to to this issue as you say to highlight that these children are innocent of whatever crime their parents may have committed . taking remembering that children are victims and acknowledging the complexity and it is it's massively complex and as you laid out in your introduction we're talking about tens of thousands of children here there are 60 countries at least represented in our hall and horror is only one camp and this this phenomenon and it is it occurs in other countries besides syria so it is massively complex it is there is throughout there has been

a huge focus on. these children their parents with the rare excuse are we rather we prefer to focus on the situation they're in the humanitarian situation the incredibly harsh conditions they're living in and what is happening to them now which is that they are stranded in the in pretty dire conditions in the middle of an ongoing devastating conflict and so focusing on that starting from that position and then looking at the fact that despite all these complexities successful repatriation they are happening reintegration is happening the international committee of the red cross we are even supporting children who have returned and their families and again there's no quick fix it's incredibly complex the we have seen have careful ongoing work with these return children who are very traumatized in many cases who have been exposed to extreme violence but that care for work with them with their families with read a hope to minas he who are going to be coming in and supporting these children as

they try to reintegrate that it makes a difference so there is a body of expertise at their there is developing best practice there and there are lessons to learn and that states can can draw on which is while states have their own individual concerns of course and even dent individual cases it's an incredibly complex and intricate there is actually no alternative to collective action on this and there is supported and to states who are taking that steps and he wants to. steps whether it's legal expertise and advice whether it's a mental houghton psychosocial we teens whether it's exchanging syrians is one of those states this is happening very complex it's very bleak the individual cases will break your heart but it is possible the challenges aren't insurmountable and so just remembering that remembering that these children are victims there are things that can be done and are being done already really is key to making to let

like new like you say i mean so i've read some of the stories and they truly are heartbreaking many of the children sort of being born and even dying in that camp ruth hetherington near a middle east spokesperson for the international committee of the red cross thank you so much for sharing your views with us. the european union is not fit for purpose when it comes to fighting poverty that's the assessment of the u.n. special envoy to alleviate the shooter who is warning the number of poor people across europe could reach new highs in 2021 a recent report found that one in 5 people in the e.u. regional block were already living in poverty in 2019 and the pandemic has affected millions more who had never experienced poverty before about 23 percent of those living in poverty are children the report also says women are disproportionately represented among the poor and there is
