a divided and deserted community we visit southern coast on with thousands of people have fled border fighting. and warnings that ice loss of downtown could be reaching an irreversible tipping point. there's a renewed push for paid some covert $1000.00 vaccines to be temporarily suspended after president biden gave his backing a wednesday that would allow more minute troops to produce jobs the european union which is home to laws pharmaceutical companies says it is ready to discuss the move india and south africa have led to drive by middle income countries to suspend the peyton's well india which is at the epicenter of the world's worst corona virus outbreak because well from joe biden support it has withdrawn them as more nothing new that. we as a vaccination center in new delhi where people with appointments are the lucky ones because they aren't enough doses in the country this is

a private facility so people here are having to pay for their vaccines now the government expanded the vaccination program to include everyone above the age of 18 from the 1st of may but they asked states to make their own arrangements with vaccine manufacturers who say they just don't have enough doses the indian government has been leading a push from low and middle income countries to remove peyton's to remove the intellectual property rights on vaccines so that india and other countries can manufacture them at no cost so that they can ramp up production and inoculate more of their people and others to they submitted a proposal to the world trade organization in september along with south africa to remove the patients on the astra zeneca and also the pfizer vaccine just for the duration off the pandemic that proposal was supported by more than $100.00 countries but strongly opposed by the world's biggest economies by the us by the e.u. and also by big pharmaceutical companies the support from the u.s.

now is being welcomed but the other members of the world trade organization will have to get behind it too and if or when that's achieved they will have to be the setting up of special facilities that the some of these vaccines such as pfizer use more. it's technology and that is why this announcement would have been more well at the time that the proposal was made before the situation became so out of control that india allowed a new and more contagious variants of the virus which is threatening not just indians but others too and the scientific advisor on india is called the task force said that vaccines are going to have to be updated because of these new variants will have a race is a member of south africa's minister of visor a committee for one seen as he says it's important vaccine production is spread around the world so supplies are not dependent on just a few large manufacturers. it is

a pity that we didn't think about doing this earlier but it's never too late because i think most of us think that we're going to need coded vaccines not just this year and next year but quite a long time to come but i think just generally you know the pandemic does make us and should make us think differently and it might not have been something that immediately countries all the pharmaceutical industry wanted to jump towards but the fact that the dialogue is not opened up with all the role players through the w t o i think is very healthy and i think it allows everyone to rethink positions the message is loud and clear is a massive inequity in terms of distribution of vaccines the countries that are really really struggling simply don't have vaccines in the african region we don't have vaccines and we're not getting enough vaccines to the kovacs facility that would support the poorest countries so that message is out there but i think one thing that might happen is that perhaps big pharma will now say ok well is there

another way that we could look at this we understand the pressure we're hearing that we're seeing it can we do more in license sharing can we do more in tech transfer proactively and voluntarily can we go further than we have done because although some there's been some limited efforts at that from big pharma to just smaller companies like astra zeneca to the servants to to india that has been really just a drop in the ocean. when we think about the amount of vaccine that we now need to produce a primary continue to cast doubt on the tokyo olympics with tens of thousands of people in japan signing a petition calling for it to be cancelled the games start in 78 days but tokyo state of emergency has such big standby up to a month because of a surge of infections those behind the petition believe hosting the olympics is draining money away from other such as rollout of a covert 19 vaccine. the international criminal court a sentence former ugandan militia leader dominic on went to 25 years in jail for

the pace of global heating is moving to wrap it in the unstoppable sea level rise from melting polar ice sheets that's a stall warning from scientists who say the levels of ice loss could be irreversible the study says emissions need to be swiftly reduced to meet the parents climate agreement failed it could have caused in the prop jump and the pace of ice lost by the a 2060 this would fuel sea level rise but it's coastal cities in danger than larry is a glaciologist modeler a 2 g.m.'s science new zealand and he says decisions made today will be crucial to slow sea level rise it may sound like a small thing at a centimeter sea level rise but really when you think about storm surge the fact would be that those waves could reach much further inland and really impact a lot more people and lives even more displacement so every centimeter is is what we would hope to prevent questions about antarctic ice shelf stability and so

a lot of models conflict on when that point of no return can happen but what is important is that it is driven by ocean processes when the ocean heats it in these ice shelves and they can no longer hold back that land based ice and we can't get the heat out of the ocean so really the decisions we make today are really important for all of those down line effects keeping our ice shelf stable and keeping that ice on land where it should be well really what we find is that if we aim for that high ambitious target of 1.5 degrees celsius we could have global sea level rise from all the land ice. contribution to sea level relative to current emission pledges that would put us more at 3 degrees celsius so it's really important to try to for countries everywhere to think about what their mission lodges are and and think of ways of which we did lower it to meet. high ambitious. taiwan's indigenous communities will find out on friday if they want to
