to share vaccine technology so more people can be vaccinated and prevent more mutations from emerging and in the coming hours more will be revealed on the origins of this pandemic the world health organization and china will release their findings based on an international investigation in hand though in a moments we'll talk to katrina you who is live for us from will find itself of course where the break is believed to have originated but 1st let's go to paris where the tasha butler is standing by for us that's actually us talk about this pandemic treaty see that's being proposed a treaty that hopefully will prevent more pandemics to come and it's coming at an interesting time is it not because people don't really seem to be working together on this existing pandemic. well i think that's the point the head of the e.u.
1:04 pm
council shar michel said such an international treaty was important because what we've learned from the 19 pandemic many countries of course still continuing to battle 2nd 3rd waves in the world is about divisions the differences over approach a different management of the crisis and not working together simply leads to a much worse situation than needs be what michelle said is needed is a global approach to what is a global problem another pandemic he said could loom any time he said it's not a question of if but when and at that time the international community needs to take a multilateral approach to trying to solve the crisis now what he said needs to be done is countries need to work together more closely on things like research and development so before a pandemic looms they are far better prepared when there is when we are in the
1:05 pm
middle of another pandemic in the future perhaps countries need to share information more easily perhaps swipe there by sharma shell and china because beijing has been accused of not sharing enough information at the beginning of the pandemic and perhaps have they done so it would not have been as widespread also said that vaccines need to be far better coordinated in the world there needs to be better access to vaccines for all countries rich countries and poor countries those vaccines need to be affordable pharmaceutical companies need to share their technology because until we are all safe said michelle there is no one save person it really is a crisis that effects everyone the only a mission from this treaty that is so far supported as an idea by more than 20 countries are major countries like the us china and russia all missing from this initial letter supporting the treaty whether or not they would be on board in the. and sign up to a real treaty which would be part of the constitution remains to be seen. live from

for. there is a warming trend in europe at the moment is big game theory with cloud all the way around it is the area of high pressure days ago even warmer wallace and going strong was drunk or temperatures are above average all the way from the algarve west of to the middle of england temperatures are in the twenty's and to some places that's considered the woman that should be those can be a line here which is once one of difference the yes the north but it's quite cold in fact as it comes as a bowl to get a breeze because snow i think and eastern europe is still on the chilly side temps nat'l below where they should be so this is the warming bit where you might see a lot of cloud over portugal that'll make a difference but 1st london sees a time to change down to 12 over time we get to the start of the easter weekend as our cold wind on its way slowly signs and at the same time you'll see a bit of an easing in the temperatures in portugal and spain largely because it's going to be cloudy and wet particularly in portugal and here is that change of wind

1:29 pm
history is testing the global community around the world already a clear gap is emerged between rich nations and poor ones when it comes to vaccinating their populations from the geopolitics to the pure economics the misinformation and the latest developments what's going on here is very different for a start the boxing comes in the form of the nasal spray special coverage of the corona virus pandemic. this is al jazeera quick reminder of our top stories this hour the world health organization 20 the leaders of 23 countries including the u.k. france and germany are all calling for an international treaty to tackle future
1:30 pm
pandemics it aims to ensure resources are sharers and nations are prepared. a survey from nearly 18 scientists is warning current vaccines could become ineffective against future covert $1000.00 variants in less than a year calling on companies to share vaccine technologies so the world can be vaccinated. to prevent the virus from spreading and mutating in thailand says it has no policy it is annoying treats refugees from myanmar thousands flee violence and current state senator activists accused by the tire army of forcing people back . well let's turn to corona virus and of for more on the warning about the possibility of vaccines becoming ineffective against future covert mutations we're joined by oksana appears that from london though she is a leader she's leading a global citizenship program on bricks and factious diseases at university college
1:31 pm
london so you sound like just the person we want to talk to you really just explain for us. is that these new variants emerging and and why are these vaccines becoming less effective was causing the situations arise. well gary says our program it's what they do naturally but there are variants of concern and these are the ones that have been identified by scientists around the world who genomic sequencing and this are vans per gram because they have some unique features that other viruses that may have mutated but don't have any significant. so what we see for instance for 117 is the kind variant is that it is more transmissible now can lead to more severe symptoms so this is of course concerning and i had a big effect u.k. . and spreading around the u.s.
1:32 pm
who are the world as well as we see there were heaters it's a variant and one emerging from brazil so the virus in a sense is able to compete and mind waste is actually outsmart us in some sense and so evil to date the vaccine by perhaps changing its shape slightly depends on the mutation that we're talking about ok viruses have been doing this for her forever so they're very quick to do it if selection pressure so indeed so it looks like we're constantly playing catch up with this phone with this virus we have all these new shiny vaccines that are starting to be deployed as to be says and record time i mean this is what one year old from the a little over one year on from the discovery of corona virus mean i have these vaccines but if they're always going to mutate i mean how should we be protecting
1:33 pm
against these mutations if these vaccines that we now have developed after a year are going to be ineffective against the mutations was the answer to this. well it's the speed of the deployment and distribution and we know currently that at the current rate of 10 percent only 10 percent of all middling countries will actually receive vaccines the off off the current us market so the speed of vaccine rollouts that we can outpace variance incredibly important but it also means that we have to share that and this is something that we see all the difference of countries like the u.k. have me a large play national contributions towards kovacs it has become a situation where many high income countries are already back and that's a shortsighted you because it recruits the ideal conditions where the delay is actually last time or other areas of the world 'd robaxin each rates that are
1:34 pm
trying to transmit ition a coherent and her attention more transmissible horns of code and then that is really where are variants are more likely to emerge so why do you think these governments are continuing with this me 1st approach we're going to vaccinate all our adults before we'll start sharing because if this is going to perpetuate these mutations and continue to put the entire world at risk you know why are countries doing this if everyone knows no one is safe until everyone safe. yes exactly and what we see in countries like the cape for instance we have moved through the elderly the vulnerable and are moving into younger population now and what we should be focusing on is ensuring that we're protecting healthcare workers and health care systems globally but it's a politically difficult message and so in some instances some countries have been more committed towards sharing their vaccines less than others and due to the
1:35 pm
pressures within their own populations as well in the short term to try to rush to reopen by a high vaccine coverage so getting this balance i think is has been incredibly difficult for readers but again i think that this message that ok so maybe for the summer you might see the listing of some restrictions but it means that down the line we have to introduce new vaccines and delays with that there could be further problems already of course for me that are working on a 2nd generation of the surviving so it is likely actually that we'll see the population getting really back mated as other countries will have to wait 345 years or even get there 1st of another 345 years of this not very good news so look some of these a great to get your thoughts thank you so much for joining us from london. central african republic president 4 star combs to
1:36 pm
a darragh is set to be sworn in after his reelection last december ms reelected for a 2nd term in office with more than 53 percent of the votes in an election that was marred by violence december's poor was violently contested by coalition of rebel groups once you 170000 people were displaced so let's get more now from nicholas hart who's following these developments from senegal capital dakar make the situation surrounding this election is very volatile in deeds is that likely to affect this swearing in ceremony. well absolutely this is a swearing in ceremony that's happening under high security in the capital that's effectively under siege 44 percent of the country according to the united nations and the i mean you've got the u.n. force on the ground is in the hands of the c.p.c. the coalition for patriotic change

1:39 pm
interrogated by reports. after being stuck in a maritime traffic jam for almost a week this ship was one of the 1st to resume its journey along the suez canal on monday night it will take several days though before shipping along this vital waterway returns to normal. navigation resumed at 6 pm local time is from both sides within 12 hours 113 ships will cross in different convoys either from port side or from suez this means that within 3 days or 3 and a half days the delay will be resolved earlier on monday the stricken ever given which had been blocking the world's busiest shipping lane for 6 days was finally free. much to the delight of the crew of the dredge who'd worked round the clock to clear thousands of keep it metres of sand around the giant container ship. 10 tug boats then pulled it out of the bank and into deeper water
1:40 pm
it has taken as quick as possible to do this and the high tides will help to insult jeffords as well as well but i think it's fantastic news fool the suez canal so the suez canal authority need chips i think a really good joke has been delayed by all involved 12 percent of global trade normally passes through the suez canal between the red sea and the mediterranean while the immediate crisis is over experts say the ever givens mishap raises long term questions about the canal sustainability is going to be a lot of head scratching and thinking not only about making supply chain more resilient i'm sure a serious canal thora who's having a good hard think as well about how to make the the canal itself more. the ever given is now in a wider section of the canal where it's being inspected for damage bringing an end to a crisis that's disrupted billions of dollars worth of global trade victoria gates
1:41 pm
and be al jazeera. well the ever given has cost billions of dollars and more strains and is affecting supply chains around the world lloyd's list says almost $10000000000.00 worth of trade passes through the kennel every day around 400000000 dollars every hour the ship was stuck for 6 days causing a backlog of more than $350.00 ships many others chose to divert surround the horn of africa to avoid the traffic jam and on effects include congestion ports worsening shipping container shortages as well as vessels not being in the right place for the next shuttle journey and sure warns that the book age kids aren't a supply chain disruptions this year and that could cost an estimated $230000000000.00 well for more on this we can speak see international trade economist also the marquee yama he joins us now from stockholm he's the director of
1:42 pm
the european center for international political economy and searches sweden's representative to the world trade organization it's great to have you with us on the news or just talk me through what some of the real world impacts of that 6 day blockage are likely to be what what kind of effect will this have on global trade in the weeks to come. well we're almost 400 ships still stuck on you know the military has signed on the red sea side and you know this show we're looking at a number of ships that is now sailing around from here rather than directly service west now and. for a ship that never sets sail meal looking out until 8 that could be up to $46.00 weeks they could clearly could take to clear up and then of course means factories supplies stocks that is going to be depleted fairly quickly and also we are going
1:43 pm
to see significant disruption in certain critical businesses what does this mean for consumers though i mean are we talking about no paston toilet rolls on the shelves are prices going to go up what was the real world impact for your average family trying to buy their groceries or pay their bills. well i think most of the supplies that are actually ship by maritime shipping between asia and europe because this is the trader looking at is perhaps the bulk you're in the heavier side of things so we're looking at more capital goods than let's say consumer goods like toilet paper they mention most of that stuff is usually produced at home but the problem isn't even the factories that are making the toilet paper milly tending the machinery and so we are we are not going to see mass shootings because of this and we are in india and looking at the disruption that i
1:44 pm
