this is just the perfect moment. everybody's talking about the record, is that the sending for many, many years. it's older than me actually. and, you know, 1st time baseless back with audience, family and friends in, in the stadium. i knew i had it in me, but of course it's very special to to be able to do it. and i'm just really happy and really crowded in hastings for homes opponents. the way this was only his 1st race at the year, and he thinks he can go even faster. with $21.00 days to go to the tokyo olympics, he seems to be peaking at exactly the right time. david stokes algebra. ah, no, again, i'm fully bad. people with the headlines on al jazeera, italy, bon, says it welcomes and supports the withdrawal of call us and nato troops from afghanistan program based nearly 20 years today through survived

a complete withdrawal of us forces is expected by september 11. we're on track exactly as to where we expected to be, but we just wanted to make sure there was enough quote, running roof that we can get wouldn't be able to do it all to september. they'll still be some for forces as a rational drop down with our allies and making. so there's nothing unusual about the us added 850000 jobs in june 8th, from major increase and better than many analysts expected. the economy has been urging since a sort of a year as it emerges from the pandemic recession. the united nation says much needed aid is getting back in d. c o p s t gray region, but the situation remains dire. more than 5000000 people need emergency food aids, canadian emergency officials are trying to account for more than a 1000 people who are forced to fee a wildfire on wednesday. 90 percent of the vintage of legend has been destroyed

after an unprecedented heat wave. the 1st hurricane of the season is making its way through the caribbean and appears to be headed for the usa to florida. that's why emergency workers are searching through the rubble of an apartment building that class last thursday. me at miami, thousands of people in the philippines are also being forced to leave their homes after a volcano, started spewing steam, and toxic gas from the capitol. nearly 15000 people from nearby villages are being moved to safe areas. australia is slashing, the number of people allowed through his border is by half. fully 3000 returning citizens will be let in each week a drastic move to care. covered 19 infections. comes a several cities deal with new outbreaks. those are the headlines on i'll just here, i'll be back in under 30 minutes with the arches here and use our next fits and me. ah,

ah ah, the 900 themes allow the u. s. in europe to reopen for business countries in africa . lag behind and the job then for the continent are recognized for travel in europe . there will a vaccine curtain end up dividing, rich and full nation. this is inside story. ah, ah. hello and welcome to the show. i'm sammy's a ban. so cove, it $900.00 vaccines,

a vital for controlling the pandemic. as we know, widespread immunization is allowing parts of the world, including the u. s. in europe to reopen for tourism and trade. but it's a different story in developing nations. millions of people across africa still waiting to receive their 1st jobs. the w h o warns the continent is facing an extremely aggressive 3rd wave. the african unions cove at $900.00 envoy, a strongly criticized europe for failing to deliver the millions of doses. it promised. we'll bring in our guests in a moment, but 1st this report from victoria gate and b marie a 57 year old mother of 5 has come to this clinic and can shafter to get her 2nd job of the asters in kovak, seen the democratic republic of congo is suffering from a 3rd surge of corona, virus infections, as many other parts of africa. and to me, this is good for us to protect ourselves if you are experiencing the 3rd wave of curve at 19. it's important we received this next scene because in doing so,

we'll also save others. she's one of the lucky ones. only one percent of people across the continent have been inoculated. while rich vaccinated countries are reopening their economies. african hospitals are becoming overwhelmed. oxygen supplies are running low and the virus is spreading to rural areas. the manny charge of securing duties for the continent has criticized europe, saying it's failed to deliver a single vaccine from the 1000000 zip promised not a single dose. not one file has left a european factory for africa. ok, when we've gone to talk to their manufacturers, they tell us that they are completely maxed at meeting the needs of your 5 point. 5000000 infections have been confirmed among the continents 1300000000

people. callbacks promised to deliver 700000000 doses to africa by december. but so far, just 65000000 have actually arrived. rich come to like the u. k. like the g 7. just are putting the, the profit pharmaceutical companies above public health, but not by not pushing companies to share the knology so that others in, in developing countries come produce a vaccine. so we are on the mercy of pharmaceutical companies. the head of the africa centers for disease control and prevention says there's been a 23 percent increase in the number of covey related tests in the past week and warns unless the continent can secure a regular supply vaccines. the consequences will be catastrophic. victoria gates and be al jazeera and the african union is warning of global inequality even off the people received their jobs. most of it's doses come from the u. n. back kovak

scheme which relies on the indian made astrazeneca dose called covey shield. that is not recognized by the use new vaccine passport for travel. 8th european states have reportedly agreed to accept covey shield off the pressure from india. but the e u hasn't the prove russian or chinese made vaccines either. kovak says this risks dividing the world into 2 tears. the spring in august into the shall we have joining us from addis ababa john and kanga song director of the africa centers for disease control and prevention in abilene in italy, gloria tele, jani, professor of infectious diseases. at last, at the end of the university of rome and in london, max lawson, head of inequality policy at oxfam international won't welcome to all if i could start with gloria in italy. so why is the

e u in excluding some vaccines like covey shield, which is, of course, just the variant of astrazeneca made in india. well, the question is very interesting because i really don't know exactly what, what the research apparently did the collaboration of the email a 5 to the email conversation was that the maggie factory where the vaccine is going to produce is not a perfectly adequate production of these kind of racks, you know, at least it's not been certificated in the proper way. does not like to jump in. does that suggest that the vaccines are not effective? well, this is not the truth. this is not true. that all the point is the sooner institute, which produces being vaccine, the covariance, sheena is the,

the most relevant factory for vaccine production all over the world. just remember that 60 percent of children are vaccinated with vaccines produced by the company. so it's, it seems of least a little bit from me that sure eating in, in this conditional buick gmc, the factory is, can see the knox are not enough proved to be capable of producing goods, vaccines and the are on the other side. we should test 1st of the peak, a field in safety, vaccines or, or refusing them, all right, let me take that point to john kanga song in abas abba. so if the european union has some doubts, has some questions about the standards or the certification of the factory,

that's manufacturing the indian variant of astrazeneca. is it fair enough that they should hold off for now on uh, from putting the covey shield vaccine on the approved list? i think we have been extremely surprised by that behavior. the cobit shit vaccine has been approved as part of the collection of vaccines from the callback, which is mckenna, in supported by w. h o v. separate their coalition for epidemic preparedness innovation. this vaccine has been paid for by the european tax p. s. money. we all know that w chose has given emergency authorization for these vaccines, so i remain completely lost as to why such behavior. we've always maintained that we should, the only way that we will defeat this plan, is to use signs to drive

a policies at an auction and find north science behind the division. and i really call on the european union to reverse that decision almost immediately because it is creating a lot of people that have received a vaccine in africa and the global out. tell us more about the homage, john, what does that mean for people? doesn't mean that people could just deliver and diety ones that decision was made over the we can tell you that many ministers have called me so many people in their communities have reach out to me and express a lot of anxiety, respect your inability to travel to europe, for several reasons, we are, is highly interconnected. we're europe and africa, or move the movement across the 2 continents is extremely important because that people can then move to europe. it creates hum at both social and economy come to their populations. i think that is something that we strongly

encourage you to your opinions to look at that decision. and it also affects the ability for the confidence that people are investing in the vaccines that are available. each time we be that we create the roads and a lot of confidence in the vaccines are all our programs. right, right. let me bring max into the discussion max, it will, the world was worried or concerned with a divide emerging between the have and the have the have nots when it comes to vaccines. is now a new divide emerging even between those who had vaccines, golden, the vaccinated in the vaccinated lights or something like that. it seems, i think there is a low history, sadly in this kind of response of what i think we should call it what it is. it's a structural racism. it's the european north looking out themselves. and this implicit sense that brown people in the global south are incapable of making

vaccines when, in fact, you know, when it hit 60 percent of the world's vaccines are made in india, we have competent way the world class produces in developing countries all over the world. and these are the same produces who are waiting for the vaccine recipes being held under lock and key by 5 m a dan, a bio intent. so certainly the europeans looking after themselves, once again. so yes, we may have this divide over vaccine passports, but it's, it's a much more substantial thing we hit, we have to find them. well, that's max and jump in and say, well, from the you perspective, i'm sure they would argue this is not about different parts of the world or races. this is simply about science. and if certain factories are not up to standard, why should be your opinion rush in to certify them these factories? the theorem is she has been fully approved by the w h o by co racks. it's

absolutely not the case that as john said, it's completely unheard of that, that the european union should decide that they have some our highest and i think this is politically driven. i think it's because it's seen as the british vaccine that are like it. i think there's politics in all of this, and i think there is racism in there too. i think the europeans have a very, very poor record on this. look at chancellor michael, she's blocking moves at the w t. i to share the vaccine. recipes bio in tech is a german for they have one of the most successful vaccines together with fines that they've sold virtually known vaccines in the developing build bursting numb for africa. that's a pulling that's a crime of historical propulsion. so when we look at the 3rd way sweeping through countries like you can, it's absolutely disgusting to be honest. you see the europeans looking after themselves once again, and it just makes me really, really angry. and i think they should look to themselves and they should share the

vaccine recipes as cost as possible and allow developing countries to make themselves safe. so let me take a point back to glory at this whole issue. it kind of banks the question about how much policy coordination there is in the u right now, because as max pointed out, you have a situation on the one hand where the e u is saying, you know, we're not sure about this vaccination. and yet the same e u as been funding the kofax program, the u. n. w h o kofax program, which gets this vaccination funds getting this vaccination out to the rest of the world. that they're now saying, they're not sure about how much for the nation is there between the e, u and the w h o on these kinds of issues. how much coordination is there between countries themselves? some of the you, nations have approved the same covey shield that the e u, as a whole, the saying they're not sure about. well, given that be totally legitimate for each regulatory authority to

independently carry out the approval process for drag back to that whatsoever. apparently at the moment we have a problem of coordination because european union paid that the vaccine should not be used and recognized. but at the same time, oh, nice. well, they knew i'd be lam, spain, and in the near switzerland. nice land approved kong shields. the answer, the proper and effective and safe roxanne, therefore in, in a time in which in a moment in which should be unique way to face the, the make emergency. apparently there is large page space for each country or each or different countries to be a in a different way,

which is not something helpful to properly manage the emergency and probably manage the huge field covering the largest 5 possible parts of human beings with a good vaccine, john, i want to come back to you on a point you mentioned about how this could do economic cli as well. what will it mean for the developing world if a kind of new seen, i don't sound overdramatic, but iron curtain kind of thing is being drawn down around certain regions. what does that mean for those regions? economically? i think it means economic diversification for the region. betty also means that we agreed to be in this pandemic for, for a long haul, and not just the re, jones that piece in that restriction. but globally thing we have to be have to be very clear to all of us that we add up, come out from this together,

we remain in these for ever regardless of whether your bucks knitted or not. so the consequences economy, consequences so, so consequences, unheard consequences of this kind of behavior is a unmanageable, and you cannot actually, when they're back to that, we are in, again, just pandemic. we saw behaviors, kara, just to clarify what ultimately does the you approved list. mean, let's say if somebody in africa has been thank sending with covey shield, wants to go to any country that all national level says yes will recognize covey shield. but the e u level says we don't recognize it. what does that leave people? well, probably the most important consequence of these acceptance. so call me shoot the by some will come, some of the come to be nice that people who are vaccinated we've covered shield that are exempted and recognized as protected. and they can move from

a country to another without any problem. so does that mean that basically the directive and approved list is meaningless? if at the end of the day it comes down to you've got to look at what the national government health authorities say. what's the point of the approved list, then? i piously works like that. and it is something that should not have been happens because we have euro p n union to make a decision for all of us. and the decisions, however, should be shared upper level at which reasonable consequences accepted by all the countries for all the parks involved in the union. and if any county feels remaining of taking partition,

which is different from the position of the european union failure of the european union itself. max, it's not just an issue, and we're focusing on coffee shields, obvious reasons, since that's the one that's been, i think, the most highly distributed by the kofax game. but there's also the question of the russian vaccines and chinese vaccines, right? they are not on the list. what does that mean for the world and the idea of getting the world back to where it was before cove? it does this mean the idea of travel bubbles? the idea of travel cora doors, trade car doors are going to be here for the foreseeable future. this is not something that's going to end anytime soon with, with vaccines getting out. i think there's 2 things. i mean, i would distinguish between whether more than one chinese vaccine and then the, the russian one, the chinese vaccine signed it back. and saw the form has both been approved by the

w h o for use now on the rushing vaccine. as i understand it has no, so if we're looking to the world health organization and the stringent assessment of the vaccine, then that should be the bottom line. that's the bottom line for car. it maybe should be that way next, but that wasn't enough for coffee. she was the w a chose approve that, and yet you hasn't. so it seems like it happens in reality, different from what the w h o says. absolutely, and i think we could see more of that in the future. and if they'll do that for astrazeneca, then you can see politics very much coming into play with the chinese vaccines as well. so i would definitely agree on that, but i think we need to focus on the key issue that the vast majority of developing countries don't have enough of any vaccine at this point. and that's the key key issue. yes, it's problematic for travel if you have been vaccinated with another vaccine, but it's far, far more problematic if you're in your gander at the moment where 4000 people now

45000000 have had 2 doses. i mean, it absolutely terrible the whole day and you're back seen going on by europe. and i think this, this latest episode of saying that coffee shield isn't quite right. he said, look for me. and i think it's about defending european industries. this sense that kind of only safe back scenes can be made in europe and america. we've seen this all the way through. and we need to have a situation where we can respect that qualified vaccine manufacturers all over the world and share the recipes with them as fast as possible. and that's simply not happening. and the u. s. is said that they're open to waving peyton on boxing. and the main block is that a huge lead blanchard, american. so i think they really are problematic, and i think history will frown on the you terribly for what's happened in the last 69 months. and the fact that they're standing by and seeing so few people

vaccinated in the developing world level bring glory and for a quick come in on that point. why has europe being so slow to get out vaccines to africa? we heard from the african union, special envoy and covey, 19 street. we must see, we must see. you are saying not one dose, not one dose. he has left you for africa. again, this is a problem of the, the meaning, the deep meaning of the, you know, on europe, on the union. because also in these. com, thanks a, some countries where more prone to low the and sending vaccines to the african countries other county european union where possibly again to this policy. and if we add a new european union, we should decide altogether and with the unique path,

what we should do in order to obtain safer and most to protect word outside europe. india also another reason, very important reason why we should offer vaccine colbert age, also to european outside european countries. because in a country where there is a large spreads of the virus and a partial cold age of last seen, the development, the appearance of her resist from the strain of the virus are much more probable. and so we have a problem all together again. john, let me put the question this way. we have a little bit of a devil's advocate on behalf of the e. u. is it not understandable? if not, i'm far from ideal, but is it understandable that in time of crisis, nation simply prioritize their own populations?

first and say they want to make sure their populations get vaccinated 1st before they send out vaccines to others. it's not a huge surprise. is it, john? it is not he surprised, but it is not wisdom that enable us to win and it was again, pardon me, do one we are dealing with we know what to do. we have the solutions in their hands, but unfortunately we are not playing ourselves in a way that we can come out of this collectively day of what use is it for europe to be fully about knitter and africa is not vaccinated and you continue to get variance emerge that would challenge even develop things that have been used in europe. and we've seen the barriers that emerge out of south africa. it quickly on the mind the. ready vaccines that will be in use. i think that is just come on wisdom that yes, you protect your people better understand what we are dealing with. the dimension

of what we are dealing with is global. so we have to look at domestic approach, but also look at the global approach to wind about again, to respond to me. i think we've got a quick minute for a final thought from max. what does this to tear the vaccination world mean for recovery, for global growth, all those projections, the rosie projections expectations that yea the world is going to grow again economically. other gift disasters? recommit gray? i think the key point is no one blamed european nations for wanting to vaccinate their own population. while i apply move forward, protecting, and monopolies, and the profits of their own pharma companies. and not allowing those successful back seems to be made all over the developing world. that is absolutely criminal. we could vaccinate europe and we can fax and they africa that doesn't have to be a trade off. and we desperately need to to see the recovery. and to start millions of people dying, share the recipes. now europe and stock blocking and putting prophets ahead of

people on that humanitarian call is a good point to end on. let's hope the world finds a way to work together to get over this. for now, let's thank con, guess very much for their participation. joining can go song, gloria tele on the and max lawson, and thank you to for watching. you can see the show again any time by visiting our website al jazeera dot com for further discussion head over to our facebook page. that's facebook dot com, forward slash a j inside story. you can also join the conversation on twitter. handle is at a j inside story. from me, sammy say that i'm the whole team here for now. by the news news
