it's supposed to be another 2 years and said elections happen in armenia, but because of that conflict because of the last because of nicole passion, yann's plummet in support, he brought this forward. he wants to basically see this as a way of reaffirming his popularity and giving him another mandates to pursue the reform agenda that he has been trying to push through. over the last 3 years of power, the united states says they are still sticking points on key issues and assets to revive the 2015 iran nuclear do. the latest round of talks in vienna has been adjourned on international negotiators have returned home for further consultations . what i would say is that there is still a fair distance to travel on some of the key issues, including on sanctions and the nuclear commitments that iran has to make. but the arrow has been pointed in the right direction in terms of the work that's getting

done in vienna. so we will see if the iranian negotiators come to the next round of talks prepared to make the hard choices that they have to make. in order for the joint comprehensive plan of action, the iran nuclear deal to be reinstated, maybe as national us government has announced the reopening of a road. that length, east and west in areas forces loyal to the wall or how they say they when consulted and are yet to prove the decisions. the reopening was one of the conditions of a sci fi agreement signed between warring sign. you know, i've got this dawn has recorded 92 new corona virus, death in the last 24 hours and seen a sad infection since late last month. 10000 new cases were recorded. interest and resilience have been paying tribute to the 500000 people killed by the pandemic and re addition arrows kolpak about the beach roses were planted to represent all

the victims as are you headlines coming up next inside story? news, news, news, news, news, i was out, the organization is warning a 3rd wave of corona virus and part of africa. the continent has done relatively well compared to other regions, but our countries doing enough to stop new infection. this is inside story. ah hello, welcome to the program. i'm rob matheson,

when the global pandemic began more than a year ago, many predicted african countries boots suffered devastating losses that have been more than 5000000 cases. and nearly 840000 deaths on the continent. but that only represents less than 3 percent of the total global cove in 1900 cases and a fraction of the continent. 1.3000000000 people that have been worrying signs in recent weeks with more contagious variants driving up infections in many african countries. cases in some regions of more than doubled just in the past week, the number of deaths has gone up as well. leaders in africa urgently appealing for more vaccines. fewer than one in $100.00 africans are estimated to be vaccinated. the w h o ones the situation could get worse if vaccines delayed farther in africa . caves is have increased by 52 percent just in the past week and does have increased by such 2 percent. and we are expecting to only get worse,

less than one percent of africa's population has been vaccinated. vaccines donated next year will be far too late for those who are dying today, or being infected today, or at risk today. or g 7 has plans to come at 1000000000 vaccines to developing countries. you will donate 1000000 jobs for the u. s. is to provide 800000000, but african health officials say more is needed. the director of africa top health agency is calling for a concerted effort to tackle the crisis. the ted wave is here is the reality. as i said, and you have 15 countries across african union members, it's now experiencing that. we anticipate that more countries will be in that at the logic for how long it would take for us to peek. we don't know you or

depend on behavior and collective actions that probably had measures that will be taken south africa. chin is xanda, uganda and nivia account for nearly 80 percent of the recent rise in new infections . south africa is the worst it nation. it's just tightened. it's corona virus restrictions. ospital is in. uganda have reported a severe shortage of oxygen and they're no longer able to admit patients to intensive care. at least 7 other african countries have run out of vaccines and 7 more have used 80 percent of their stocks. w h o says more contagious variants have been detected in nearly 39 countries. ah. ok, let's bring in our guests and browser field, piano body, his deputy incident manager for covered 1900 emergency response. the world health organization, africa, and oxford we have for more come on the on e. she's the senior policy advisor at people's vaccine correlation. and in robot we

have as of, in iraqi me, he's professor of medical biotechnology, mohammad, the 5th university. welcome to you all to know, i want to ask you 1st because you're in, but i branch of you what is causing this 3rd wave in african countries. thank you. thank you and good afternoon. thank you for the opportunity. i think that's the one you know about the country that the southern african countries around the south africa. and the one explanation is about possibly 17. this is the week that she's on sunday after the company. so and then i can extend this wish and say something the mentally, those are the simulation of different variables of concern which you have to come to the nation, barry and then also we have done by and at the point it can be also particular about relaxing on g strong,

public health and social misery, you know, you can help to stop the vision of the chain and just need to find who's also the level of immunity of the population united, the snore out of the vaccination of the gym. so much as i can see, i do have a few main faxes explaining the upsurge of we get the w 2 regional director for africa and i say, don't know, it is quoted as saying africa as public health system can be, must be scaled up to find test isolate and care for patients. is that actually possible given the amount of stress that the system is already under? yes indeed, the i will not quite important to read is kayla and meant that includes all of the different aspects of the party. from the depiction of the cases, isolation will be the weekend the epic manner. but at the mean time,

also of managing an increase in the level of the vision and the engagement of why major pointers and about the capacity treatment focus management. this is asking the really cost of the chart of our different countries and we are trying to provide the necessary technical and financial support, you know, for really having the exact capacities for treating the patients in the junker african american cases. not going to come of jani, the g 7 summit has promised 1000000000 doses of vaccines. how confident can people in africa be that they're actually going to get those? well, i mean in the g 7 and everybody has been talking about nobody's safe until everyone does say from all that. but we saw that the words are in one direction and the actions and realities are in different directions. so even though on 1000000000 when you can q late,

the donation that was and now it doesn't reach that figure and it does include, and i like the money they already donated to kovacs. how many of those as well, by, in addition to the bite and administration announcement of, of actual donation all 5 vaccines. so and then it talks about it will be available by next year. well, that's too late given what we just heard it. it's very too late, but by now the u. s. they ok, but basically the g 7 are aiming to reach her community and their countries were over 60 percent of the populations have been vaccinated compared to 1.5 percent in in africa. if you take morocco out of the, of the equation, if you put more awkward new, it's about $2.00. still still in both cases it's very, very low. so no, with the not addressing the fundamental problem that we have had since last year

that it could have been expected. and, and, and the fundamental problem is lack of vials, lack of actual vaccines. you know, the production is not enough. it's a simple funk w choice to mated that you need 11000000000 doses to, to vaccinate the wall. that doesn't take into account both of those system. all the other issues that, that they talk about here in the g 7. so how do you get 11000000000 dose is just by lying on companies goodwill? we do need it if the, if there's really serious, if the g 7 was really serious about vaccinating the world and vaccinating africa, basically they should of influence the, the pharmaceutical companies to join the w jo, technology axis ball where they can share the technology and wave intellectual property,

so that will enable several companies and developing countries to produce the vaccines. at the moment these companies cannot do it. the minister of health and indonesia, couple of weeks ago said that companies in indonesia can produce have a $1000000000.00 a year. well, they can't, because they can't, nobody will share the technology, was them with them and nobody would wave intellectual property. so it's not, it's not serious what they talk about, this kind of donation underlying on the goodwill of, of someone with a company that never happened clean will never forgive me for interrupting. but i want to expand on this, in your opinion, given your, your background in the study that you've made of this. if the situation for africa doesn't change from what it is now, how bad is, is going to get for africa? well, is going to be very bad if the, if the infection is rising and there is no vaccine, there is nothing that will stop the infection that is not spreading around. there

is nothing that will stop the virus from mutating and, and producing different mutations. as we know, the 2nd mutation happened was in the very happened to in south africa, and that was in the us doesn't exceed, wasn't that highly effective against that particular variant. so that is possible to happen again. and we have variance that are, you know, if you're like a resistant to the current vaccines, which would be a problem for everybody. so what the g 7 is doing, focusing only in the people on the people on a bit of a donation here. and there is actually shortsighted, even from a purely selfish point to view it short sighted as it enabler him able, hey, me, the w h o says africa needs 200000000 vaccines to a not going to 10 percent of the population. but as we just heard how immunity is between, i think about 60 certainly 70 percent. even 200000000 vaccines is barely scratching

the surface. what is, is there a way around it? is there a way that african actually turn this and work make it work for itself? unless it gets the technology and the, the intellectual property rights that it needs? what i couldn't agree with was more, i think what's happened right now besides science and besides the manufacturer. and i think it's a more an issue here because here as humans, we are talking about the fitness fairness it provide you that really we see that the bias for more of more human than humans actually because of the virus can differentiate between the poor countries. been, look at color, skin isn't look if your wallets for example, but for all these countries, i think it was the right direction. a step in the right direction for the g 730 to chart to live till may be too late. i think that's the main thing about your question actually, because i think more than that for example,

said since the beginning it will be waiver and it's patent but never gave up data scholarship. so it's going to be really difficult for this country to end the example of indonesia here. it cannot actually manufacture anything without tech transfer. and i think without this to tech transfer, we cannot do it for african. i think it's the only thing that's really maintaining somehow the survival of africa. i is the age param, and actually it's the young came both accountants, but i think that we can talk about the surviving the pandemic based on either what we have amounts of vaccination or the other thing of the head system. the system of the word actually we can see the us new york, for example, broke up during the funding. so i don't think that we can survive in the 31st, whatever number you can give it, the mixers,

because i pick it's going to be. the only thing that's really maintaining this kind of situation is the fact that it's a young pension and what we have to do actually, i don't want to blame the war for, for what we are looking or seeing in africa. we blame our self, actually. i think it's something that we have to start with, but to the one thing that we have to, to try is to support actually the dime go sure. i think the w a show mechanism is a tool that is very important for african country to support the call box is very important. the tech transfer, and i think it's really unfair and fair and i'm just try not to be angry. actually, when you see a couple of countries talking about like summation children, because they hits the resistance of the anti roxanne and in africa, if you say cult roekel, you have less than one percent of the population in lexington. so the rest of the world may be seeing this as an internal problem for africa as if you need me. but

what would it take for africa to convince other countries in the world? but what happens in africa actually will affect them seriously. why? i think it's quite clear, i think in their minds i, they think they are not just trying, there is a strong lobby in the lobby, but i think we can actually think locally. that's something that there is no problem with it. but you have to see the impact globally, because we cannot come out. we cannot come out of the fam, demik without the whole word actually gets in a certain amount of humility. so to converse, this people is quite clear. i can just straight to the point. what's going to happen in africa will have the virus mid supply, and then what gets thoughts about it? it's going to be lots of going to be cation lots of mutation. and your supervisor, that will be here. and it's going to be a catch $22.00 again and you can come back to square one. the 2nd thing, it's a comical point. so if one percent of digital p offering is going down with the

panoramic, you imagine it's going to be one percent of americans or the chinese or the p as coming gone. so why i think we are in the same boat, and i think this country should think about africa and coming to africa to fight the mc chin of all the as again, abraham me, they're saying that the w h o is key in all of this in in coordinating all of this, and of course it's part of organizing the callback system. but the callback system at the moment, at least as far as africa is concerned, doesn't seem to be working very well. there seems to be a disconnect between the w h o and its intentions, and its ability to persuade richer countries to actually stump up the vaccines that they say that they will provide. what else can the w h do to give leverage to these countries and make them do what they promised? thank you for watching. so there are different dimensions to this problem and there are a lot of challenges. i need. the procurement and acquisition of

a quite good number, the bus to, to move one of the people. why didn't we just yeah. so this is clear, i think there's more about it on the back issue. and i do think that the for the, for some child, the name or the the or get to more of just the on there yet. however, the show i think we have a look at the problem more sickly. that also menu which can be done on so i will block this, you know, housing or slowing down the passage and that's what i will say. i the not much of that. i vision the sure. the mission, one, back the part of the, the lot of that's to was or that means or which also try to include dental care. again, it has the shouldn't about, we'd like to do the case management. i'm in the eyes of the people of tracy. the contact of the people you know,

department for more than 100 and know what, where the flat expectations. i work in that i think we have a collapse for me, but we have one table. so that looks like one group of country. i think each has one reality. we have some conference today where i need the vaccinations, what well are or the but but how can you really look at our possibility locally? i just give the support of global community, you know, for really tackling the problem with this is what at which we are doing well, you've got one more try. i really want to wish i'm providing the technical support training people and giving them some of these young people need those type of tools also of the ship. the book have what the vision you know correctly and that the color vision also of the treatment that the district level one the why would that

been that we have the me, the related the need to know that we have in the region. yes. or the people when we saw last time, we were kind of the child that upset going with the g r c. you saw in the number of cases one, but this is not happening. that's awesome. so meeting the people have you listed or sure to try to get back to baxley, but that didn't work so obscurely or, or the areas of where we could make it. what i can say, the professor inter kimmy. let me ask you about the, the state of the effectiveness of some of the vaccines because the suggestion is that the role like could be by the w. rachel is asking for 200000000 vaccines. we've already discussed the effectiveness of not of that particular figure, but what about the actual vaccines itself? because it occurred to me that we know that one vaccine isn't enough. it requires

to which automatically limits the number of people who can get the vaccine. but of course, also timing is a factor in this because vaccines do expire and that is putting additional pressure on all of this delivery system. why think, well, we have to agree and they think to come back to the story of bringing up and developing this. maxine, it was a human success actually that will be able to actually with more than 56 like seeing that's quite effective and sure and to have them it's a great actually and they think i have no problem with them actually that there will be no, not efficient, i think all the vaccines right now, the chinese american, the british, whatever you want to within, it's fine and can see that everywhere we get a certain point. so for our percentage vaccination, the numbers of infected people are lower the lower and they think it's great that we are having the vaccine. the only problem i can tell you before actually is just

we don't get that enough. those is, i think that's the main problem. and the other thing that you said rob, that is true is the fact that we are using to those us to get to, to immediately. and i think that's hamper actually there for 2 vaccination. but right now i'm just thinking about africa. everyone seems that we can get to africa will be good and not good just for african countries. i think it's good for a whole word to bring up this vaccine to africa. the other thing that we have to make sure to keep in mind that this, the mac, we stay with us for at least 2 years. so it's still possible actually to build the capacity and a public in africa to be able actually to actually to produce them enough factor. maxine and that's something that should be good to be done. not just for africans that they have to insist on that is not, i mean, you can, if you want a new rich country,

don't think that you are out of the woods because you vaccinate at 60 percent. it's not true because if you have a supervisor in, in africa, it will come back to haunt you and bite you if you don't fight with us and overcome a jani file, we are we looking for that technology and hopefully that intellectual property to do be developed in africa, if it happens, how big is the rest? do you think that if the virus continues unchecked at the rate that it appears to be going at the moment, africa, or at least parts of it could end up being locked off from the rest of the world in the same way that we're seeing countries closing their borders to other countries in the northern hemisphere. well that's, that's a danger. that's what's happening. and now we can travel within europe with a passport. the same will happen between europe and america, between europe and, you know, and all that countries. and they will just exclude and,

and africa and, and other poor countries, except if you have being vaccinated by vaccines that sort of organize in the north, if you like, go to the west. so, so you, you know, so they will be creating even further inequality even within the african countries, you know, between those are vaccinated with the vaccines. and those are not vaccinated or who are vaccinated by something else. and that's, that's, you know, creating even more problems for a, for africa. so just saying a bit of donation donating to kovak. so it's is going to solve the problem, know that you're not, not going to solve the problem. they're actually going to cause more problems for, for africa. and let's not forget, we're talking about when we talk about the economic issue, talking about the micro economics, like the countries in economics. but you also talking about the livelihood of people. yes. in, in the west here i live in britain,

so social distancing. so fi solution, although it's possible for, for the majority of people, while in africa, it's not possible. you know, because i would have had to go out and money, you know, send something or do some service to bring food to my kids. so. so this thing of up of the, the preventive measures are very difficult to implement. so the solution for africa is massive vaccination, and that's what should be the, the interest on the actions by, by all countries. i'm going to interrupt the wash here. no, but i'm going to have to know both the just on that point actually because of course, the w. rachel is at the forefront of trying to manage the situation in africa. having heard everything that our guests have been saying to my mind, the picture looks pretty bleak. it doesn't look as though these vaccinations these extra vaccinations are coming anytime soon. your teams are on the ground,

they're having to deal with this immediately. how is this making you feel as somebody who is trying to cope with a situation has. busy not very definite. we have gotten but also there are some are, this is not on the system. maybe that region. yeah, definitely different once. and you just the, in the back of allowed that you know about the d r. c or shaw. really like to have more back to the condition. however, i mean, what can you do now you wish, and what can you do need to support all of our collective, you know, try to make things job to something and people who get treated and stay at home, not but went to been on the bus one in high make,

you really have double reports and just need we all looked at the blog. i will not be back tomorrow. we are going to be sure to have from the decision some of our partners with books proficient. we talking about a, we're going to leave it there because unfortunately time is against us. but i want to say thanks to all our guests gentle balding more, how come on jani, and as it didn't ever hear me? and of course, thanks to you too for watching, you can see the program again any time by visiting our website. i'll just see dot com for further discussion. go to our facebook page. that's facebook dot com, forward slash ha inside story. you can also join the conversation on twitter. handle is a j inside story for me, rob masterson and the entire team here. life and the news.
