all their photos from the 1st one of the last so we can actually see a progression of what happened in the emerges in one location. oh, this one i see. and then down here, look under z m. it's easy to have people become involved in science. when you make it fun like this, ah, this is algebra, let's check on this up stories. this, if you can, suppose you got a crucial parliamentary election. it's the 1st electoral test for prime minister. i'll be off it. who's on the increasing pressure over humanitarian crisis and little than t gray region. and the last few hours, the united nations human rights chief has said that she's deeply disturbed by the situation that iran is. president elect says that all nations that 5, the 2015 nuclear deal must return to the agreement for the us president donald

it says the company's assets have been frozen by authorities, and the hong kong is controversial, national security law, suite and private stuff on love and has lost of confidence votes in parliament. the social democratic leader now has a week to either resign or to call a snap election. the rights being sweden, democrats called the vote. last week off the government lost the support of the left party. olympic organizers have announced that they want to allow up to $10000.00 firms to attend each event that next month took your games. the plan, which would see no more than half of seats filled at venues, is still being discussed with the international olympic committee. japan's top medical adviser said that 0 spectators would be the safest option for picks. that's already been delayed by a year due to the pandemic. and those are the headlines one you see here, and i'll just 0 off the inside story next. ah,

ah ah, i was health organization is warning of a 3rd wave of corona virus in part of africa. the continent has done relatively well compared to other regions, but our country is doing enough to stop new infection. this is inside story. ah, 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 only 840000 deaths on the continent, but that only represents less than 3 percent of the total global covered 1900 cases . at 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, i know urgently appealing for more vaccines. fewer than one in $100.00 africans estimated to be vaccinated. but w h o one's the situation could get worse. vaccines delayed farther. in africa, cases have increased by 52 percent just in the past week. and does have increased by such 2 percent and we 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 pledged to commit 1000000000 vaccines to developing countries. the e. u will donate 1000000 jobs for the u. s. is to provide 800000000, but african health officials say more is needed. the director of africa's top health agency is calling for a concerted effort to tackle the crisis. the ted wave is here is the reality. as i said earlier, 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 will 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 yet zambia,

uganda and namibia account for nearly 80 percent of the recent rise in new infections. south africa is the worst nation. it's just tightened. it's corona virus restrictions, ospital is in. uganda have reported a severe shortage of oxygen. i'm. 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 those stocks. the w h o says more contagious variance have been detected in nearly 39 countries. ah. ok, let's bring in our guests and browser field piano baldy, he's deputy incident manager of a covered 19 emergency response of the world health organization, africa and oxford. we have more come on, danny. she's a senior policy advisor and people's vaccine coalition. and in the robot we have, as iraqi me, he's professor of medical biotechnology, mohammad 5th university. welcome to you all to know. i want to ask you 1st because

you're in, but a branch of 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 that and number 50 the country that the southern african countries around the south africa. and the one explanation is about possibly renting in south africa. so just whenever you can extend the solution, the say something with the simulation of different variables of course, or which you have to come to the combination very and every and then also we have done by and at that point it can be also not about relaxing on the gene, strong public health and social measure which can help stop the population of the

chain. and obviously the wind is also the level of immunity of the population united, the snow, only out of the vaccination and now the gym. so much as i can see, i will do a few amine axes explaining to create an upsurge of the region the w h was regional director for africa and i say to my, to 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, i will not quite important. 2 reasons. taylor and i meant that includes all of the different aspects of the practice from the depiction of the cases, isolation on the weekend the epic manner, but at the mean time, also of mentoring and increasing the level of the vision in the engagement. one

major point about the capacity treatment focus management. this is asking the really cost of the charge of different countries and we are trying to provide the next week on financial support, you know, for really having the exact capacities for treating the patients. and the junker, that african american case is not going to kind of yanine. 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 cue late, the donation that was announced a doesn't reach that figure. and it does include like the money they already

donated to kovacs. how many doors as it was by, in addition to the bite and administration announcement of, of actual donation of fi maxine so and then it talks about it will be available by next year. well, that's too late given what we just heard it's, it's very too late by, by now the u. s. they ok, but basically the g 7 are aiming to reach her immunity 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 2.5. 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 2 years 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 fact w choice committed that you need 11000000000 doses to, to vaccinate the wall. that doesn't take into account. both of those is 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 if, if they're 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,

a 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 that technology with 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 pharmaceutical companies that never happened. never 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 voting, but 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 am to happen to in south africa. and that was in the us. doesn't of exceed was in a 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 do 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, okay, me the w h o says africa needs 200000000 vaccines to are not going to 10 percent of the population. but as we just had, had 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? 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, but it needs why i couldn't agree with more. i think what's happened right now. if i 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 virus for more of more human than humans actually because the virus can differentiate between the poor countries been look at color, skin isn't location your wallets for example, but for all these countries, i think it's on 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

analysis. so it's going to be really difficult for this country to an example of indonesia. here you cannot actually manufacture anything without tech transfer. and i think without this just tech transfer, we cannot do it for africa. i think the only thing that's really maintaining somehow the survival of africa, i is the age apparently. and actually it's the young came both accountants, but i think that's we can talk about the surviving, defend demik based on either what we have amounts or vaccination or the other. think of the head system, the system, what the words 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 3rd 1st. what's what number you can give them mixers because they 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 can't, you know 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 to go. sure, i think the w will show some mechanism is a tool that is very important for african country to support. the co hawks is very important. the tech transfer, and i think it's a really unfair and fair and i'm job try not to be angry actually when you see a couple of countries talking about lexie mason children because they hits the resistance of the anti roxanne and in africa. if you take out morocco, you have less than one percent of the population vaccinated. 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 and, but i think we can actually think locally. that's something that there is no problem with it. but you have to see the impacts globally because we cannot come out. we cannot come out of the time to make without the whole word actually gets in a certain amount of humanity. 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 we'll get thoughts about it. it's going to be lots of duplication, lots of mutation, and you supervisors, 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 did you could be offering is going down with the panoramic, you imagine it's going to be one percent of americans of the chinese of the p as

coming bomb. 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 panoramic chin of l. d. 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 richard countries to actually stump up the vaccines that they say that they will provide. what else can the w a to do to give leverage to these countries and make them do what they promised? thank you. i think that there are different dimensions to this problem and, but there are a lot of challenges. i mean, federal procurement and acquisition of a quite good number. the bus to vaccinate, one of the people was in the region. yeah. so do you see the plea?

i think there's more about it on the back issue. and i do think that the for, for some child, the name type, type of the forget to more of just the on there yet. however you not the ship. i think we have a look at the problem more sickly. that also menu which can be done on so i would walk, you know, housing or slowing down the passage and that's what i will say. either not much of an issue with sure. the mission, one for the part of the, the lot of that to was or that means or which we also try to include dental care. again, it has the they shouldn't about, we'd like to do the case management. i'm in the margin and i've not the people i've been to tracy, the contact of the people, you know, union partners for more than 100 and know what, where the flat expectations. i work back. i think we have

a collapse for me, but yeah, yeah. 11, yeah. so the block that was like once a group of country, i think each has one reality. we have a conference today where the vaccination was, what well are or the but, but how can you really look at our possibility locally, just the support of the global community. you know, for really talking to this problem. this is what i've done, which will you will, will you've got enough what you are, you know, try, i really want to wish i'm providing the technical support training people and giving them some of these young people. i may need those type of tools also of the ship, the book have what the vision you know correctly and that the color vision also the treatment that the district level one the why would that be that we have the me the related to need to connect that we have in the region. yes. so the people,

when we saw last time, we were kind of each other that 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 back in the meantime, also obscurely or, or the areas of where we could make what i can do. 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 lights could be by the w. rachel is asking for 200000000 vaccines. we've already discussed the, 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 i think, well, we have to agree and i think so come back to the story of bringing up and developing this. maxine, it's what the human success actually that will be able actually with more than 56 like seeing that's quite effective and sure. and to have them, it's a great actually, and they 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 get in, 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 get told you before actually is just we don't get enough. those is,

i think that's the main problem. and the other thing that you said rob is true is the fact that we are using to all of us to get to unity. and i think that hamper actually there are 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 panoramic will stay with us for at least 2 years. so it's still possible actually to build the capacity a problem 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, if you want a new rich country, don't think that you are out of the woods because you've actually they just 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 will. if you don't fight with us, or call me on a 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 risk? do you think that if the virus continues unchecked at the rate that it appears to be going that 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 the rich countries. and they will just exclude and, and africa and, and other poor countries, except if you have being vaccinated by vaccines that's recognised in the north,

if you like, or in the west. so, so you, you know, so there 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, for africa. so just saying a bit of donation donating to go back. so it's is going to solve a problem, know that you're 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 distance saying, unself isolation. all that is possible for, for the majority of people,

one in africa, it's all possible, you know, because i would have had to go out and money, you know, send something or do some service to bring forward to my kids. so. so this single 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. no, but i'm going to tell you nobility that 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 not very definite. we have to, i need to also know there are some somehow to update that region. definitely different once in the, just in the bag of allowed not one of the d r c or show we really like to have more back to back to the commission. however, i mean, what can you do now you wish, and what can you believe, which is all of our collective, you know, try to make things job to live and people who don't get treated and not. but when to bus one in high really have to babble reports and just need all of the advocacy at the global will not be back. tomorrow

we are going to big will. she has to have from the decision, some of our partners with books petition hospital chuck. while we're going to leave it there because unfortunately time is against us. but i want to say thanks to all, i guess, gentle balding more. how come on jani? and as it in every 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 dot com for further discussion. go to our facebook page. that's facebook dot com, forward slash a inside story. you can also join the conversation on twitter. handle is a inside story for me, rob matheson and the entire team here. for now, the news
