of the way through 2021 and there's no escaping the fact that the pandemic is not as big a story as it once was. of course it still dominates our lives in so many ways, but things have improved and in many parts of the world, we've learned how to live with the virus that however kindly to complacency. so let's just check some of the numbers or information as ever from our world and data at the university of ot. so this is the timeline. since the start of the year, darker colors, me more infections. and what's important to notice as time goes on, is that those darker colors still persist and occasionally pop up in new places. we're in july, august here. look at canada, look at the u. s. brazil, australia even coming into play there. as cases go up, which leads us to this point, the johns hopkins university covey tracker, as of the start of october, nearly $234000000.00 cases worldwide, $4780000.00 deaths, but also 6200000000 vaccine doses. the number in green, and we'll take

a closer look at that in a moment. first, i want to check the deli cases in a few select countries starting with the united states. here we go. you remember the highs up around 250000 cases. a day at the start of the year, it's gone right down though, since the summer, back up again to a point where we're looking at, at about $110000.00 cases a day still in the united states, in the u. k. this is the point where the u. k. relaxed it's restrictions and cases started to go down that popping up again to the point where we're at about $35000.00 cases still a day by comparison. the european union of course, the u. k. no longer a part of that is seen a big decline started to increase over the summer. but now at a point of about $44000.00 cases the day for the whole european union. and we've seen a lot of relaxing of restrictions across a lot of european countries, couple of others to look at quickly. brazil, which had such

a terrible time. the data is a little erratic. i do have to say out of brazil, but here we're looking at about $16000.00 cases a day. in brazil it's come right down. and india, this is extraordinary. $350000.00 cases, plus a day back in april, terrible time they were having in india. right now, we're only looking at about $25000.00 cases a day there. contrast all of that with what we're seeing in some way, like australia or at the moment, which for so long look at that whole period through the start of the year. very few cases. they're really just incoming traveling cases and since july, up and up and up to the point of about 1800 cases a day. and they're looking at reopening in november as well. don't forget that. now big part of that reopening and in so many other countries comes down to vaccinations and when we have a little look, this is, i know a lot of data here, but it shows some of the countries which have done really well. he had top of the

list, the united arab emirates, the dark part of the bar is telling you about fully vaccinated people, the sort of light a bit just towards the end there of each bar is partially vaccinated. so a lot of countries are into the 90s in eighty's and 70 percent of vaccinations right down the bottom here though. look at these are african countries? kenya, ethiopian nigeria, tanza near all less than 5 percent vaccinations. and that is really illustrated in this final slide. i've got for you, this whole graph is showing us all vaccinations across the world. the colors broken down by continents. so asia, of course there's going to be a lot of vaccination going on in asia. all of the screen here. china and india both 1000000000 plus populations. but look at africa up there. that wedge if you light has not increased on a 2 and a half percent of the woods cove at vaccinations have happened on the african continent. well, let's get more on this snow from helen reese. she's chair of the regional

immunization technical advisory area for africa for the w. h o and joins us from johannesburg. it's great to have you with us on the news or hearing from my colleague about the vaccination rates world wide. and the numbers from the african continent were really quite striking. why do you think africa is lacking behinds when it comes to vaccinating the various populations there? i think there are several reasons. and the 1st is that, as soon as the pandemic started, we already anticipated that africa with many resource constrained countries within it who are getting support already for their immunization programs from a, a global program called gabby. we were very worried that we would see a similar scenario because of lack of access to funds to purchase the vaccines, but also let lack of a coordinated muscle to be able to,

to negotiate for those vaccines. so at the very outset, a couple of initiatives was set up for the african region. one was called kovacs. the other one is to the african union to try and, and just back on behalf of countries and to try and mobilize funds to support countries. mobilizing of the funds was slow at the beginning, and when it came to purchasing the vaccines. unfortunately, we saw what we had feared, which was that a very early on all the vaccines have been purchased by rich countries. so unfortunately, the african region came at the, the end of a q in terms of purchasing. so you know that that's the beginning of the story and, and i'm afraid it's still continuing. so, so what are the implications of this, this lack of access that the african continent has to these vaccines? because you would think that africa would be suffering exponentially more from the

colona virus than places elsewhere in the world. but it is the u. s. and the western nations that really have borne the brunt of, in terms of mortality, when it comes to the crone of virus than many countries in africa. how do you explain that? well it's, it's a very good question and it's one that there's a lot of discussion still about. i mean, the 1st thing of course is, is our surveillance is good in a region where infrastructure health infrastructure laboratory infrastructure was already very, very limited. so i think that part of what we're seeing can clearly be attributed to, to low levels of surveillance. but part of what we're seeing might also be because our health services in many countries are very compromised. that you know, we have weak health systems. so people might not be presenting to that health system. the 3rd thing of course, is that we've also got a different kinds of demographic pyramid in the region. large the so where we have

far, far fewer elderly people and many, many more young people under 15 and young people in the 20s, thirties, and fourties. and as we know, those young people are less likely to get severely ill, less likely to be hospitalized. less likely to die than the elderly, so they'll probably, there are a whole combination of things and i think with time will get a better handle on this. but nonetheless, we are seeing ways of it now in many, many countries in south africa where i am in kenya. and ethiopia, we're seeing these waves come through. and the, one of the worry is we have and the world should be worried about this, is that if we have high levels of transmission and a neglected continentals, we're going to continue to allow new variance to evolve. ok, we learn, you very, to evolve. we're going to potentially see more resistance to the existing vaccines

that there were, the vaccines were work as well, and those variants will spread globally. ok, which are very, are worrying prospect. indeed. helen reese there from the technical advisory board for african the w h. o. great to have your use are. thank you so much for speaking to us this morning. thinking opponents of changes to israel's coven 9 seen green pass of sage highway protests. the passes required to access many public spaces, but now it's only available to people who've had a booster short. all those have recently recovered from the disease protest is denouncing as a form of what they call forced vaccination in ecuador police. and the military have moved into a maximum security jail. enquire, kill after a riots in a neighboring prison, killed war than a 100 inmates this week. a 1000 officers patrolled the groans to gain access to one of the prison's, according to police and mates,
