7:02 am
distributed 160000000 doses of vaccine to 100 countries. and more is to follow. the united states is buying another half 1000000000 doses of pfizer to donate to low and middle income countries around the world. this is another half 1000000000 doses that will all be shipped by this time next year and brings our total commitment to a donation of donated vaccines over $1100000000.00 vaccines to be donated. put another way for every one shot we've administered to dayton america. we have now committed to do 3 shots to the rest of the world. all on the call agree that fighting the pandemic is a global rather than national issue truck. it's the pledges of help. a reality check by the south african president of around 66000000000 vaccine. those is administered worldwide. only 2 percent of these have been administered in
7:03 am
africa. a continent of more than 1200000000 people. this must be unjust. and it also is immoral. well, leaders had pledged to vaccinate at least 70 percent of the world's population by next year. but as president trump suppose also pointed out, it is now september and not even 10 percent of the target has been reached. that despite the apparent awareness that nobody is safe, unless everybody is and still echoing the bleak message from the un secretary general and his opening address to the general assembly. the world is on a precipice. my kind of era at the united nations. well, health organization has been pressuring developed nations to hold off on booster shots until more of these 1st doses are made available to poor countries. as
7:04 am
a report by amnesty international as well, which shows the disparity, it says fewer than one percent of people in low income countries are fully vaccinated compared with 55 percent enrich states. amnesty also accuses vaccine manufacturers of putting profits before lives, saying that refusing to share doses or technology to enable more of the world to get their jobs. the right group wants 2000000000 doses for poor nations by the end of the year. different profess lawrence guston, faculty, director of the o'neill institute for national and global health. louis says there will be more nations needed to bridge that inequality gap. president biden is certainly done a lot more than western europe or canada or japan and other countries. u. s. allies see, he's done vastly more than other people have, but really is only a drop in the ocean, you know,
7:05 am
in order for us to actually achieve 70 percent coverage of the world's population. we're going to me need north of 10000000000 doses. and so $1100000000.00, which is biden's total commitment through the end of the street, an extra timber, is just not going to cut it. it just simply the math just to narrow it v issue actually, you know, we're, you know, this is a global pandemic. and the truth is, is that the glaring inequities that we've seen didn't just happened by accident they, there were a design choice by europe, the united states and other i, income countries. because we hoarded vaccines, we signed pre purchase agreements. and we created enormous scarcity. and so the rich have and the poor don't the rich live poor die. it's as simple as that.
7:06 am
but us regulated have approved booster shots of the 5 vaccine people over the age of 65 and high risk individuals will be eligible for a 3rd job. the booster can be administered 6 months after that initial to dose course of the bank seems completed. on to other news and permanent members of the un security council of met the secretary general antonio. to cherish to discuss afghanistan, ted says that the international community must engage with the taliban going forward. the group itself has been appealing for quick you and recognition as the new ruler of afghanistan, its appointed a new envoy to the un and requested he be allowed to speak out the general assembly kristin salumi with worn out from the un. we've been seeing intense diplomacy at the united nations on the situation in afghanistan, many meetings taking place, including one between foreign ministers of the permanent 5 members of the security council and the secretary general of the un, antonio gutierrez,

the united kingdom chair, that meeting the new foreign minister liz trust said, going into it, that her goal was to get china and russia to take an international approach to the situation there. and what the council is weighing is whether or not to recognize the taliban of the united nations. and the one hand, there's concern about legitimizing group and a government which has members still on the international sanctions. less to a group that wasn't recognized when they controlled the country from 1996 to 2001 their treatment of women and girls and ethnic minorities very much a concern for countries in the united nations here. but on the other hand, the united nations is warning that there could be an economic collapse in afghanistan if the country is not allowed access to the international banking system. and that could make it even more of
7:08 am
a threat to international peace and security. we've got to hear a little bit of what the secretary general told the members of the p 5 in that meeting is up to the you see follow within the leadership. and we see different behaviors in different parts of the country. and the several contradictions between what is sometimes what happens in some areas of the country. now, it's not likely that the taliban will be given a platform to speak during the general debate. the new ambassador would need to be recognised by the credentials committee. the credentials committee doesn't meet until november. the committee consists of 9 member states among them, the united states, china and russia. so these countries will have to deal with this issue before too long from full sentence ambassador bank to the us after president manuel macro and
