israel's president asks the opposition to form a new government putting benjamin netanyahu has political future in doubt. 200 years after the poland's death france's odes to face up to the emperor's divisive legacy. u.s. president joe biden has thrown his support behind a proposal that would temporale really lift intellectual property rights for covert 1000 vaccines it would a lot more manufacturers to produce the jobs and help millions of people in poorer nations get inoculated the director general of the world health organization one on the basis as called the move a monumental moment the u.s. and other countries had previously blocked measures championed by india and south africa of the world trade organization. well the covert $1000.00 vaccine is being

an equally distributed between richer and poorer countries latest figures show 62 percent of israelis have received at least one vaccine dose and in the united states nearly half of all americans have had at least one job compare that to brazil the 3rd worst affected country in the world only 14 percent of its population has been vacuumed vaccinated and india which is still struggling to control a 2nd wave is training further behind only 9 percent of its population has received at least one vaccine dose my camera has more from washington d.c. this is a major step by the u.s. government which is going to have immense ramifications in terms of attempting to get it all together but there is a company at an all of this and the world trade organization must be remembered is a body that runs on consensus now there has been a drop proposal put on the table by india and south africa but now the u.s.

has joined in it's going to be back to the drawing board in a way a new text has to be drawn up and importantly every member has to agree to the contents of that particular text but nonetheless the fact that the us is now involved the fact that the us is now pushing for a waiver of these property rights is very very significant indeed it must be noted as well though as pointed out by the white house press secretary that this is a very narrow way that this has to do purely with combating the pandemic it would not go any wider the point being that the u.s. continues to protect intellectual property rights this waiver will not impact on that according to the white house julie fisher is an associate research professor of microbiology and immunology at the georgetown university medical center she explains the challenges facing manufacturers. i think there's no question that we must do something to address the tremendous vaccine inequity right now by an

administration is pushing to have 70 percent of adults in the u.s. vaccinated by the 4th of july and at the current rates with the distribution of vaccines it's going to take most of the poorer countries in the world 2 years to get to that level of having most adults vaccinated so we definitely need to address this the question is whether the waving of the intellectual property rights would address this as quickly as everyone would like to see it's more than just the right to manufacture the vaccine the countries that acquired the ability to do so would have to have the right manufacturing facilities they would have to have the access to the raw materials and most importantly they would have to have access to the know how and expertise to make those facilities efficient and able to manufacture vaccine safely in a short time and that just can take months even a a year to ramp up that kind of production in the longer term this kind of waiver

could help provide an incentive to develop a broader manufacturing base for vaccines worldwide but in the short term we would still be facing all of those constraints the manufacturing constraints and the supply bottlenecks and that there is the very real concern that the pharmaceutical industry when faced with this kind of lifting of intellectual property that protects their competition that protects our competitiveness and their investment might hesitate more in the future to be all in when innovation is necessary in response to a crisis. the world health organization says nearly half of the world's coronavirus infections during the past week have been in india and hospitals are seeing shortages not just of beds and oxygen but of health care workers elizabeth reports from new delhi. when roe had decided to be a doctor he didn't expect to have to choose who lives and who dies
