1:34 am
a south african lab to crack the m. o. n. a code. we find out why pfizer is prepared to share the recipe for its anti viral pill, but not the vaccine. am returned to the skies bass said by the pandemic. the airline industry hopes to put the billions in last. as behind it, we talked to the former chief executive of british airways about the industries we're covering. i'm doors of jibari at the doha international airport where this experimental, boeing, triple 7 x is paying a fleeting visit. it's already behind schedule. i'll explain why some of his biggest customers want to know when it will be delivered. a real game changer. that's how pfizer is chief executive alba borla describes. that's coven, 19 oral anti viral drug. the pharmaceutical giant claims it cuts the risk of hospitalization and death by 89 percent global markets. welcome the needs of the additional weapon in the fight against cove. it
1:35 am
a virus which in 19 months has crippled economies and led to the death of more than 5000000 people. but on surprisingly campaign, as are already raising concerns that the rich world will once again, corner the antique borrow market. let's crunch some numbers. the biggest makers of vaccines have seen super size sales of their coven jobs. 5 expect sales of 36000000000 dollars this year, and astrazeneca foresees revenue of just over $2000000000.00. now take a look at this chart from bloomberg using data from health intelligence analysts affinity of the 2 plus 1000000000 doses of vaccines produced by pfizer by and take the vast majority shown here in chunky dark blue went to high income countries with less than a $150000000.00 doses to low income countries. that is a 150000000 out of 2000000000. compare that to the vaccine produced by astrazeneca, lower middle income countries, like india,
1:36 am
is shown here in light blue received the vast majority of the 2200000000 doses produced. so why does this matter? well, apart from the obvious health reasons, the economists intelligence unit predicts that countries that vaccinate less than 60 percent of their populations by the middle of 2022 will suffer economic losses of over 2 trillion dollars between 20222025. well, it looks like history is now repeating itself, and wealthy countries are already cornering the market. the coven 19 pills. the united states has done a $2000000000.00 deal for $3000000.00 doses of a rival drug for mug. pfizer has agreements in place to sell its pill to the u. k. australia and south korea by this new pill could be available in early 2022. if regulatory approval is given. probably expecting pushback the company said it would license its pale to the you ends, medicines patent poll to provide low income countries with
1:37 am
a cheaper option which is in sharp contrast to its attitude to handing over the payton's for its job, which is forced the world health organization to high a lab in south africa to crack the m r n a code. meanwhile, bonsai can madonna have announced plans to settle plans on the african continent to produce their ammo and aid jobs. germany's bon tech says it would go further. i'm start with such work that the new vaccines for malaria and h i v. what does this all mean for the developing on low income countries? i'm joined from nairobi by dr. n. g guitar. he's the chief executive of m ref health africa. he was appointed commissioner of the africa cove and 19 commission by the african union. many thanks for joining the program, sir. that's been huge. pressure on big farm and wealthy countries to end this vaccine inequality. but when 19 months into the pandemic, and less than one percent of all vaccines have gone to poor countries. why is that?
1:38 am
because of greed literally. and you know, if you look at the environment which tend to be called the shocking balance, which is driven by trade practices, supply and demand, and therefore the person who have the money went to the mac adult. and that is it. so we have doses that have been taught for each countries, and now the rich countries that using those low risk people and also using the type those as well. what country i've been waiting to get hands on. it's not a votes. absence of resources for resources, right? but since what countries, but it doesn't help the rich countries, this is the problem. even when developing countries often vaccines that costs they're having to take out loans to pay for these. so their debt burdens are getting worse. so what's solution is terrible because you see what's going on is institution like the one bank which i mean presenting did as a solution to receipt of boxing them solving,
1:39 am
bake with the problem. but as we know of that actually challenges that complex, which is holding almost $10000000000.00 to buy $2.00 for the poor countries is unable to do this anyway. so what comes up in big best to achieve some of the agreements in the scene that can be bought by the probably about percentage what countries, it isn't just the country that that have to already include them straight to the budget document. there are people having now to include debt. would you mean that in future we're going to have a serious problem with a few cars based driven by man. the general health system, patricia obviously is. it's a disaster doc ticket i. let's talk about this plan by the w h o to pay a south african company. it's called african biologics. to attempt to replicate magenta's coven vaccine. what do you think of this plan? and do you think they're going to be able to do it? well, i think the plan that we're hearing from the blue chill enough is more about landing and don't think it has any capacity to produce the things that are needed for
1:40 am
africa. otherwise, we may get some back to, but it's more running agenda because whatever they choose to do is engineer an existing i'm out of need from a donor so that we can use it for teaching. this is really what the issue is. and then the question is whether it will actually be ready time and running in time for the book seen the truth is we're going to not get adequate coverage. but since from this initiative, but definitely showing that we did a lot of future and we will prepare for the condition, but maybe you haven't seen. or now even though we are asking for ending the ending 5 boost as until everyone had latrene. and once you only sharing knowledge existing, so that we can ramp up the box mission and also share what devolving, this is, what our, you know, even our own and injustice petition is asking for. we need to committed action.
1:41 am
these are long term action will be good by the come. so the current progress report that in which box in a box in deleted tonight, it calculates. when it comes to the new coven 19 pale treatment pill, pfizer said it will allow it to be made unsold. in 95 developing countries, how do you view 5, his willingness to share the peyton to its anti this anti viral drug when they've been so rigid about their vaccine? well, it shows you that actually the key to these activities is actually profiteering. if you look at the amount of money that actually is being put together by companies like what it will meaning and saying that when put in $500000000.00 to be in the future, they're probably late cents to mention buttons m b p full countries. but they're making, i think, between a pay them down and then we can make a $3000000000.00 profit mix. the so it is actually talking to him. and i think
1:42 am
they're really meeting well, they should actually see it. we're not, we're going to provide the technology end of the month with anyone fracture so that we can romp up, do that. then we have enough for everyone including this one that was, that was one based on that. but for now, if you're holding that button for the most necessary tool, again, it's probably $900.00 right now. then providing they, you know, the patent for, for the medicine point. one, want to pick it in future. when you're holding does, i'm telling them which countries, because of non terms of pricing, is actually i would say it's unfair. i need to get on it. so what do you think of these plans by medina and by, in tech, to build plans for vaccines in africa? is that going to change in attitude from these companies? well again, as i said, father 1000000 dollars. you're trying to support, you know, the content when you're holding millions of those these, you know, i'm not transparent pricing that you're selling to reach countries. it is a good just job,
1:43 am
but even up to now i'm waiting to hear what the problem is in terms of the month and then your monthly plan. that's going to tell you up to $2000000.00 a year. you know, well actually another $100000000.00 in a month, how it took me in the year going to help the problem of access into the country into the africa. it will not, the immediate action is actually to move probably maxine facility and facilities like africa seem dusky ahead of the cues. and actually, as those people are stockpiling, talked about the queue so that we may dispute faster, even as we discuss future mon factory of vaccine, believe it can deny that needed. now, not in 2023. 1924. we may prepare for the future, but we need about this today for the report bank today as we speak, understand that the investment is investment and we have these new buy and take hubs that have been planned for countries like synagogue wanda. what does that tell
1:44 am
us about these particular countries ability to track these huge manufacturers? well, the point that we need to make is look up because not asking for fault for what seems to be just don't need to to them. we have money too much lateral. now these countries run the cynical south africa, egypt i give you that actually planning. but since i do that, i think i'm the thing that i'm asking for myself is that up because, you know, i'm, i'm booked up to follow up because you're going to look for the one that came to my budget for the one you wish. you've talked thinking, then we move from talking to you soon, we're going to do a b or once more, i mean, cynical, we need to partner with africa centers for disease control, africa union. i'm the entire market tool that we want to look for the while in africa. not been fucked about for africa. did we leave? we, you know, we're driving thought this thing up to walk up putting 500000000 dollars in, in cynical i'm yet. and then i, you know,
1:45 am
obviously that africa that'll be much more powerful. so we're happy to have these initiatives, but they are far from me now. they're far from adequate. dr. agatha and g guitar, he chief executive of address health africa also commission of the africa cove in 1000 commission by the african union. thank you. thank you very much. oh, that's our airways is bringing back into service. the air bus a $380.00 super jumba whole than a year off to a ground at the at cross. at the time as chief executive about bacchus said buying the plane was a big mistake. g to the high cost of running it. well, with climate change in huge losses racked up during the pandemic. airlines are killing up to buy more fuel efficient plates. i'll just, there is do us a jabari has a story. this is the world's largest twin engine plane. the experimental, boeing triple 7, x made a short visit to dawes international airport. as the firm attempts to boost its
1:46 am
image. boeing says it has sold $309.00 of the plane worth more than $442000000.00 each. the $252.00 foot long passenger plane had been due to launch this year, but has been delayed by some technical difficulties and cut our airways is not only one of its top customers, but it also helped develop the plane. the reason we are always investing in new technology is said to have a sustainable growth this aeroplane is 20 percent more fuel efficient than they cut and triple 7. which means that we will be burning 20 percent less fuel. so, lesser emissions from this aeroplane boeing is looking to improve its image after its 737 max plane was grounded last year,
1:47 am
following 2 fatal crashes that killed 346 people. the grounding of the $737.00 max, which had been boeing's best selling plane, is estimated to have already cost the company more than $9000000000.00. but at this event, it's all about strengthening old bonds. they've launched the airplane with us. they've developed the airplane with us. they've helped us design the airplane, and they're helping us improve everything around it. and that's why we're here today. the delays and delivery have been one of the major issues for boeing. airlines are desperately searching for claims that are more fuel efficient to meet higher emission targets from regulators. but this plane is already behind schedule and some of its biggest customers, like emeralds are not happy. the boeing triple 7 ex model was scheduled to be delivered to the 8th airline carriers earlier this year. but due to technical issues and concerns from regulators, it's now being pushed back till the end of 2023. a delivery date. many airlines are counting on to replace the current fleet within your more cost efficient model,
1:48 am
which appears to be the goal for the future of the evolution industry. dorset jabari al jazeera, doha. the pandemic has been unkind to the ace and industry with 40 airlines collapsing under the financial strain. but the gloom may be lifting as borders reopen vaccination rates. increase and passengers start to fly again. but when will the industry recover to pre pandemic levels? well, that's just the 1st of many questions. my colleague, adrian finnegan, put to willie walls, the director general of the international air transport association. i'm actually more confident that we will get back to normal, but it's gonna take some time in a we're predicting 20232024. we're depending on where you are in the world, but we're heading in the right direction now. okay, about 40 airlines when under, during the panoramic is that situation going to get worse, but before before we reached that normally you expecting others to to, to fall by the wayside. unfortunately, i think some will in fact i'm surprised at more, haven't gone at this stage,
1:49 am
but i think the risk for some, the still ahead of them, particularly as they start building up their operation again, because they'll incur course that they haven't been incurring with her craft round it and i think getting that so yeah, connection between the revenue and flow and the course outflow is going to be critical because cash is the thing that so you know, everybody is worried about at the moment. so i mean, some, some governments and some part of the walls out of bailed out airlines, but, but not every country can afford to do that. they don't have such deep pockets, do they? no, they don't em to, we estimate a little over 200000000000 has been made available to airlines from government. most of that has actually come in the form of employee support programs to keep people in jobs. and then the, the next biggest chunk of it is in terms of fair loans that will have to be repaid . so it hasn't been, you know, free money that's been given out to airlines. every airline has suffered as a result of the pandemic. so a lot of work will need to be done by our lives to recover and repair the balance
1:50 am
sheet. it must become but must have come as a relief to have the us open its borders at least to some countries. and that does not take the pressure off, do you think? yeah, definitely. it's a big positive developments from the 8th of november that it's re open for 33 countries that had been prevented from flying to the u. s. principally in europe. so i think that's going to generate additional momentum as well as other countries look to what the u. s. has done. so i think in terms of signals, very, very strong on what needs to happen to get us all back in the area. i know that many people watching itching to get flying again to go on holidays have to go visit relatives abroad. but while some of us are managing to do that at the moment, i mean, we were talking before we started the interview about how difficult it is with all of districts that are still in place in terms of vaccinations and what have you, what needs to happen why i think the key is vaccination, to be honest, because we've been arguing for some time the people who are vaccinations should be
1:51 am
free to travel without restriction and without testing. and for those who can't access the backseat, i think having as sensible testing regime in place. so it doesn't need to be the expense of and said difficult p c or testing. you know, it's clear that the quality of an engine testing has improved significantly since the start of this pandemic. but vaccination really is the key and we are seeing that more and more countries are allowing people who are fully vaccinated to travel . what about the stand, a nation standardization of requirements, big peers, or the moment every country has, has different requirements for you to, to before you're allowed. fairyland is, i mean, what role does i out of play in that? i mean, it hasn't in case of you ringing up the health, and this is a look we need to get this straightened under coordinator. we have been trying to do that. i'm. we're actually seeing greater coordination now. it was the disappointing thing i felt at the beginning of this pan to make that in effect, every country went their own way. even within europe, where you would've expected the 22nd country as i was in d, u to coordinate with our policies,
1:52 am
we saw 1213 different regimes in place. it is going in the right direction. and in fact, one of the positives has been the development of the you digital covert certificate, which has now been adopted by over 50 countries. so we've been encouraging countries to have mutual recognition of passes or to adopt a single pass. and, and, you know, it has been improving, but it is still very confusing for the average consumer who's trying to work out. what do i need to do? and when do i need to do? when you talk to governments, what, what are the main concerns they continue to highlights, you know, protecting the health of the nation. and i think the data actually points to a, you know, a regime that could be much more relaxed. i quote figures from the u. k. all the time because people flying into the case since february have had to take a pc or test after they arrive. and of the $9000000.00 tests that were taken up to the end of september, the positivity rates was less than one percent 0.8 percent. while at the same time in the general population,
1:53 am
the positivity rates was 7 point one percent. so the risk was not from people flying into the country, the risk was already in the country. and what we've been encouraging governments to do is look at the data and make decisions based on the data rather than apply rules that may have been sensible when we were dealing with an unknown event, i can february of last year when we were talking a few moments ago about governments bailing bailey, our airlines. she's you said, of course those that's not free money that that's lunch that they've got to pay that back. do you think that the government says they seek to recoup the money that they've, they've learned to airlines are going to start passing on costs to passengers to the likes of you and me track station. yeah, unfortunately, i think that is the case and we've seen that in some countries already, the u. k, for example has increased air passenger duty, particular for long haul flights. so we are seeing some additional costs beginning to come back onto the consumer. and clearly we've got to fight against that because
1:54 am
it's unfair to start damaging the recovery. i think people will recognize that still the can now make contribution of aviation is significant. ation and actually can play a major role in recovering economies around the world. do you think that matters to consumers? that the, the fact that that, i mean they don't necessarily see the breakdown. sometimes they just see this in great something and think, well that's expensive. yeah. it's definitely discouraging. some people, particularly when you aren't on top of that, the cost of doing these tests. you know, so if you have to do a pc or tests, we've seen prices ranging from $27.00 to $270.00 for the same testing. so, you know, i think this is an area that will concern consumers, but the good news exactly is you said where restrictions are removed and we see an immediate recovery. and that's particularly evident in domestic markets where travel restrictions in general have not been imposed. let's talk about sustainability, the industry of course, in the cross hairs right now for, for its emissions. and what is the plan as far as your concerns for the industry to
1:55 am
reduce its carbon emissions. so we have a real challenge because there isn't a quick alternative to the fuel that we used to do, jack kerosene. what we have committed to is getting to net 0 by 2050 to align our targets with those of the purchase agreement. and with the target that most governments have a great to in the short to medium term. we see sustainable aviation fuel. so these are fuels that are generated from other sources that can have a carbon footprint of up to 80 percent lower than jack kerosene. how does the relationship with aircraft manufacturers? i mean, do go to the likes of abas and boeing and say, we need to do this. we need to get our carbon emissions lower. or is it the other way round? do they come to you? and they say, well look, we've got a more efficient engine, we've got more efficient. yeah, it's, it's a great question because traditionally it has been the manufacturer coming to us and say, look, we've got a better option for you. we're now saying, actually, you're not moving fast. enough, you need to do better, you know,
1:56 am
the aircraft and engines that are being produced today need to be more efficient. so it's using to see airbus, for example, are committing to having a hydrogen powered aircraft, which clarity would be gross 0 no c o 2 emissions by 2035. and i think that's going to be challenging, but they're, they're getting more and more confident that they can do that. but in the timeframe out to 2050, we think that's going to have limited impact. it will have more significant impact beyond to interface. it will come a day when we can fly without emissions that will electric engine say for instance, we've got some, some commercial flights. now let's go off around the world on, on one, on one. so fuel will, will an electric power plane or other form of power play and be able to do that in, in time. not again, not in the 2050 timeframe. and that's why we think sustainable fuels has the answer there. but electric hybrid electric, these will be part of the solution, particularly for short range flights and hydrogen from 2035. and again,
1:57 am
initially for short range, but beyond 2050, i think the will be technological solutions of will enable us to fly without missing any c o 2 living and dough her i've i've, i've been a, a, a frequent flyer with, with colorado for a long time before that, the last time we met i was a frequent b, a flyer because i was working for another organization whenever i booked a ticket and you completed the purchase, iraq ox, if you wish to offset the cost of your, your carbon footprints. and i've always wondered what was that, what was the take up of that like very low. yeah, yeah, very low impact. lufthansa disclose some figures recently where they said it was about one percent. so when the option is provided to consumers, i think a lot of consumers look at it, but they're, they're not actually availing off that facility. so while the price conscious, they're not necessarily socially conscious as well. i think they are becoming, you know, and consumer behavior changes. and that's why we, as an industry, we've got to make sure that we are listening to what consumers are telling us. and more and more people are saying, this is the number one item. well,
1:58 am
it's been great to you. thanks for of good to see. and that is our site for this week. get in touch with us by theresa. me asked molly site and do use the house side a james seat and see when you do drop us an email accounts. nicole sat al jazeera dot net east address, bought that as more for you online at al serra dot com slash ctc. that will take you straight to our page, which has the entire episodes begin to cash on. that is that for the sedition all counting the cost on money inside from the whole team. thanks for joining us. the news on our desert is next. november marks the 1st anniversary of a peace treaty between the columbian state and fark rebels. but the security situation and conflict regents like hearing coke is far from resolve. can the government feel, deliver on the promise piece,
