highest desperate vaccine distribution is slow infections continue to suffer in several countries. the rise is believe, be partly due to the fall spreading gamma variance at the vars identified in brazil . let's go more, let's get more without correspond done, swine lower than what is there is. so that new situation is di, across the most of last in america. what exactly is going on for money and what you say right across the region. the numbers are going out. we're seeing a rising infections in almost every country of latin america. we've heard earlier about brazil passing the half a 1000000 number of deaths. it's been 1200000 deaths across latin america. since the pandemic began, there were many reasons for this. one basically is poverty for distribution of wealth,

whether wealthy in these countries get the treatment that they want. but many millions more simply have to ignore government restrictions and go to work. or if they don't go to work, they don't eat. so that's one of the major problems. also poor investment and infrastructure, especially the health service. so even when hospitals are functioning, we often find that they're short of stock, their shorts of machinery, their shorts of medicines and oxygen. so we've seen some horrendous images of patients of sufferers turning up a hospitals and simply being turned away or they're not big enough. medicines to treat them and people dying outside of those hospitals around the scenes right across the region. what we're also seeing with the number of the rising number of infections is the average age of the sufferers dropping by about 10 years younger people being affected with this gamma very and originally from brazil that you mentioned. so yes, a dog situation across the continent and vaccines slowing coming,

slowing being applied. i'm really cold for that to be that process to be speeded up . daniel, is that any cause for optimism? and only when those vaccines start arriving, i mean there have been some exceptions to this dire situation, chile, for instance, one of the, the best coverage countries in the world. so as far as numbers of inhabitants vaccinated goes argentina has about 30 percent of the population has had their 1st vaccine, another 6000000 also arriving next week, we are beginning to see a slow decline in the number of infections and deaths, as those vaccinations come in but we're a long way really, from that being blanket coverage and the kind of coverage the, the region needs to see those numbers dropped dramatically. drastically. daniel, thank you, daniel. should know that for us in what is there is well,

we're diginero is famous. copper cabana beach resembles a rose garden right now, as in tribute to brazilian lives lost in the pandemic, recorded death have passed 500008 3rd wave of infections is accelerating. still the j a both in our continues to play down the seriousness of private 19 that he's been pressurizing states to resist locked downs. albania says it's achieved. heard in heard immunity through infections, cutting corona, virus transmission dramatically. but it comes out a terrible cost for overwhelmed hospitals, and the resulting desk told may have been fall higher than official figures suggest jones droplets reports from the capital toronto. this is covered one, the 1st of 4 public hospital wards at the heart of the obedient government's pandemic response. from november to february,

it was overrun because of the government policy to concentrate all the countries covered 900 cases in toronto. at the very beginning, we were thinking it would be a lot of time by the time run around by we were thinking it's much easier and economically and political logically and medically thinking to get those services much closer to that people by then would had gone around the hospitals were under pressure. ariens can de named journalist of the year for his coverage of the pandemic. witness to the problems no case. there was no gen smoking, that patients have to wait 6 to 8 hours just to be on load from ambulances. because there were no beds available, they were very sick and needed to go to intensive kevin mediately some died in the ambulance in the overcrowded and undisturbed words. some patients committed suicide by jumping from the windows. hearing these stories, many patients were afraid to go. some went to private clinics,

many of them to turkey through a special charter flight. and many stayed home. yorkie pudgy says he spent $5000.00 on oxygen and nursing it up over from the bus. and i had many friends who went to hospital and never got out alive. so i decided to stay home. at 1st it was easy. i thought, is this the great cove it everyone is talking about. but then i got really sick. i thought i died and came back to life. the prime minister eddie roma says albania as early lockdown initially saved the country from the soaring infection rates of western europe. what happened in italy scared us a lot. so it was a bit like running home and we were if you recall, well the 1st country after easily to impose love, now our down was very, very heavy. then we did the many things faster than others

because of the, of the table. fear that if we would not control this to be us, but albania didn't have the resources to keep workers at home during the 2nd wave of the virus. herd immunity was achieved through infection at a high cost. officially 2 and a half 1000 people died of cove at 19 in albania. but the us based institute for health metrics and evaluation estimates the figure at nearly $16000.00 because that's how many more people died here over the past 9 months than would normally have died in the same time period. we've heard immunity achieved infection rates plummeted in time for a general election in april and 17 percent of the population has now received at least one vaccine chart. far above the global average of 12 percent. helping prime minister at rama when a 3rd term jumps out hopeless al jazeera tirana. the pandemic has exposed

fundamental challenges and failures of the current humanitarian system. that's the view of outgoing united nations humanitarian chief, mach low coke. it made the comments in an interview with out there is diplomatic james space. before years mark low call has been the u. n's talk humanitarian official. he's sometimes been outspoken. recently describing the g 7 pledge to provide 1000000000 doses of vaccine over the next year. as a small step in an interview without jazeera, he says cobit 19 should have been a time for global cooperation, but instead, each country was pending for themselves. his 1st failure of kindness and empathy, but it's secondly, a huge act of self home. because if you didn't understand before the pandemic or the small ins connected planet where on surely you must understand that now everybody can see the new variance coming up all over the world. a border war does

not protect you from the virus. if you want to keep yourself safe, you have to worry about everybody else's safety too. in terms of the humanitarian system of the world, has cobra 19 exposed flores. i do think that the pandemic has exposed some fundamental challenges about the humanitarian system. we have a financing system which is far too slow and reactive. the best and cheapest responses are the fastest ones, the more proactive you are. this the day, the cheaper is to solve that problem, but also the better the solution and that alongside the fact that the burden is shared in a very you know, unfair way with for leading finance. he is the us, germany, the e u. and certainly up to recently the u. k. paying 70 percent of the cost of the responses to $20000000000.00 a year response is i've been managing i increasingly thing that is not really

a sustainable situation. i think the world is going to have to find a different way of financing these kinds of responses in terms of the humanitarian situation around the world. is it moving in the right direction or not? or it's not. unfortunately, you do confront a lot of human misery and suffering in this job. and the good thing is you, you can at least do something to take the edge of that off that bar. the problem is that because the causes of humanitarian suffering, conflict, climate change, disease like cove it have been accumulating. and because while it's been responding to his large, he the symptoms, the problems keep getting worse. mr. low coke has in recent months warned of the possibility of 2 separate famines in ethiopia, the country where he began his humanitarian career, dealing with a famine of 984 and in yemen, a country his successor. in the job,

he bristow. but after the year 2000 and his art began appearing worldwide, some of his most famous work became popular that political messages. he has ways to wet us about climate change, the refugee crisis in the mediterranean, and homelessness in the united kingdom. which know back and see peace is a highly sought after in 2008 and all collect paid more than a $1000000.00 for one of his works. and he's not just limited art. last year he funded a charity vessel that rescued dozens of migrants from the mediterranean. that's got the story we can speak to nico epstein. he is an art historian now the chief operating officer of art visit. he joins us live by skype from london. many thanks for joining us on the program. help us understand why the e u has stripped bank, see the trademarks for these, for in particular worth of his well,

thank you very much for having me today. well, what happened is that a postcard company based in the u. k. has alleged the bank. you should no longer have commercial trademarks to for of his works. and you, as you mentioned, you intellectual property offices agree with this really. and he no longer has trademark to use there. civic works of art. also, it's worth noting not in order to try and defend himself by proving that he should maintain trademark banks. he created an office store, a whole gross domestic product last year, simply for the purpose of defending trademark. however, bank used on our record in 2007 in his book wall and piece to say, copyright is for losers and him. it is more openly admitted that creating storage coin and last year with only 2 pursuer dispense of his trademarks,

rather than using the trademarks of the more traditional way, which could be to create other products for merchandise. is works as, let's say that it was never intended to be trademarks. and it's now the case that they are not. why did this go to an e course in the 1st place? well, i think that the court has to have the ultimate say for which businesses are allowed to merchandise which trademarks and which individual images. and because bank use works are so popular, there are many companies that are using is, is trademarks as post hard from posters. other forms of paraphernalia, and there has to be a ruling that takes place at a higher level, wider, facilitate, or preventing these stores from operating and selling these works in the way the house, however, you were bomber. one of the images, which is last is trademark for in europe is still pending. trademark for these

images in the united states just pointed to the fact that he cannot be identified as the unquestionable owner of such works as his identity is hated. but isn't that part of the enigma of bang, see pieces of art and their value? the fact that we don't know who he is that is exactly right. but the argument here is that because he is choking to remain anonymous. he doesn't necessarily have the capacity to defend trademark, because that trademark is not being sourced back to an individual. you can't have your cake any that you can then the wires and be an anonymous street artists and have your images the 70 the widely. i'm going to claim on the other hand, but you have the right as an artist to protect your trademark. while you are using this form street are as you need to distribute the various images that were created, those 2 things don't usually mash. and this is a decisive ruling in in year,

which will also have consequences rather st gardens who are attempting to gain traffic incorrect. you do the images, but at the same time preventing copyright. very interesting to get your thoughts. nika epstein historian and chief operating officer art visit. thank you very much for the technology that move connects, entertain even heels, us. none of it would work without red minerals, that crucial to today's tech, can china. we'll significant control over their global supplies. now the u. s. and others want to change that rob reynolds reports. this is the mountain pass mine in california. the only rare earth's mine in the us. if you are like many people, you're probably unfamiliar with new dime, e. m, get a linear m, this pro z m. and more than a dozen other oddly named rare earth minerals. but you probably are familiar with

and we pack it into the slings and then we ship it to china, low labor costs, and lax, or non existent, environmental regulation keeps china on top. the situation has led to concern over us japanese and european economic and military security. if china were to cut off supplies of rare earth finished product, it could devastate the economy. we also have to push back against unfair trade practices by competitor nations that have hollowed out the u. s. industrial base and undermine our supply chain security. despite their name, rare earth aren't really that rare at all. right now, on the united states, mining companies, mine iron, or flash, or, or coney am or some other commodity. collectively throw away enough recoverable rare rush to me, 85 percent of global demand. kennedy proposes using those wasted minerals in
