though australia has now announced its biggest change yet to foreign travel restrictions since the start of this pandemic from next month, a fully vaccinated students business visa holders and refugees will be allowed in australia shut its international border in march. last year the president of valerie says he doesn't want to confrontation with poland over the migration crisis . alexander lucas shanker is now waiting for an answer from the european union on taking in 2000 stranded migrants and refugees at the border. sedans reinstated, prime minister has promised a pastor democracy in an exclusive interview without the era abdullah ham dog was released from house arrest and is now back in his possession after signing a deal with the military. several political prisoners have also been released as part of the deal have been, morgan has more from the capital cartoon. early this morning on monday morning of at least 4 political prisoners were released. they include the head of the city, nice congress party and leading figure from the only part,

one of the biggest opposition parties here. incidentally, the secretary general of the arab socialist boss, part the here incident, as well as the advisor to prime minister, hum dog, who is a member of the sudan people liberation movement. one of the groups that signed a piece deal with the government in 2020. however, despite the agreement saying that all political figures who were arrested on the, on the day of the to cobra and the following days should be released. not all have been released, for example, the spokesperson of the former sovereignty council, which was dissolved in the day of the military, took over. he's yet to be released from the right candidate jose antonio carstairs, leading and chillies presidential election with 28 percent support. he faced the run off in december against a former student protest. lita. well those are the headlines. i'll have much more news for you here on al jazeera after counting the cost to stay with us. ah

ah, i hello, i'm money inside. this is counting the cost on al jazeera, your look at the weld of business and economics this week as big fall mom refuses to says coded vaccine secrets. the wealth help organizations hires a south african lab to crack the m o n. a coat. we find out why pfizer is prepared to shad the recipe for its anti viral pill, but not the vaccine. i'm returned to the skies baset by the pandemic. the airline

industry hopes to put the billions in losses behind it. we talked to the former chief executive of british airways about the industries for covering. i'm door safari 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 in a real game changer. that's how pfizer is chief executive alba borla describes. that's coven, 19 oral anti viral drug. the pharmaceutical john claims it cops, the risk of hospitalization and death by 89 percent. global markets have welcome the needs of the additional weapon in the fight against covet a virus. which 19 months has crippled economies and led to the deaths of more the 5000000 people. but on surprisingly, campaigners are already raising concerns that the rich world will warm again,

corner, the antique faro market. let's crunch some numbers. the biggest makers of vaccines have seen super size sales of their coven jobs. 5 expect sales at 36000000000 dollars this year, and asked for seneca 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 intact 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, 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 economist 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. while it looks not history is now repeating itself, and wealthy countries are already cornering the market for 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 visors 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 un medicines patent poll to provide low income countries with a cheaper option. which is in sharp contrast to its attitude to handing over the payton's for its job, which has forced the world health organization to hire a lab in south africa to crack the m r n a code. meanwhile,

bonsai can madonna have announced plans to settle plants on the african continent to produce their ammo and aid jobs? germany's bon tech says it would go further and 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. if n g guitar. he's the chief executive of m ref health africa. he was appointed commissioner of the africa cove and 19 commissioned by the african union. many thanks for joining the program, sir. that's been huge pressure on big farm in 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? 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 will have the money when the vaccines from mac adult, and that to the so we have doses that have been taught pile for risk countries. and now the risk under that, using those low risk people and also using the type those needs. well, what country i still waiting to get their hands on. it's not about options of resources for resources, right? but since what country, but it doesn't help the rich country. 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 that institution like the one bank which i was not presenting, did as a solution to receipt of boxing them solving, bake with a problem. but as we know of that actually challenges that complex, which is holding one was $10000000000.00 to buy $10.00 for the poor country is unable to do this anyway. so what, what countries up in big bits to patches? some of the governments locks in the scene that can be bought by the probably about

percentage what countries it is an injustice country that, that have to already include them straight to her budget to vaccinate their 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 proven by man. the general health system, patricia, obviously is. it's a disaster, dr. guitar, 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 madonna'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 that the plan that we're hearing, the blue chill enough is more about learning and don't think it has any capacity to produce things that are needed for africa. otherwise, we may get some boxing. but he's more learning agenda because whatever they choose to do is engineer an existing i'm out of need from dana so that we knew that for

teaching, this is really what the issue is. and then the question is whether it will actually be ready time, on landing in time for the scene. the truth is we're going to not get adequate covered, but since from this initiative but showing nothing about it, we will learn of future and limits. we will prepare my name for the condition, but maybe you haven't seen for now, even though we are asking for ending the ending fact boost as until everyone had latrene. and once you've only sharing knowledge existing, so that we can ramp up the box mission and also shed and what was holding, this is what you know, even our own and injustice petition is asking for. we need to commit action. these are long time, much and will be good by the come. so the current problem which box in a box in delete tonight? it's called place. when he comes to the new cove at 19 pail treatment pill,

pfizer said it will allow it to be made and sold in $95.00, developing countries. how do you view 5, his willingness to share the peyton, to its anti anti viral drug when they've been so rigid about their vaccine? well, it shows you that actually the key one of these activities is actually broken here . if you look at the amount of money that actually is being put together by companies like i'm with, you know, it will meaning and thing that when put in $500000000.00 to build up there, they're going to provide that license to mention putting m p p full countries when they're making, i think between a pay them down and then we can make the $3000000000.00 a pocket next year. so it is actually talking to him and i think they're really meeting well, they should actually see it. we're not, we're going to provide the technology in the future with anyone so that we can ramp up. then we have enough for everyone, including the one that was that one this and that. but for now,

you can holding that button for the most necessary tool. again, it's probably 1900 right now. then providing the patent for, for the medicine point 11 to peek it in future. when you're holding does i'm telling the rich countries because all 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 and tech, to build plans for vaccines in africa? is that not a change in attitude from these companies? well, again, as i say, 500 $1000000.00, you're trying to support, you know, the content when you're holding millions of those is transparent pricing that you're selling to reach countries. it is a good job, but even up to now i'm waiting to hear what the problem is in terms of well yeah. and then your monthly plan that's going to be about $50000000.00 a year. you know, well actually another $100000000.00 a month. how it took me in the year,

going to help the problem back into the country into the not to got it will not, they make it action is actually to move probably like seen facility and facilities like africa vaccine tasking. ahead of the cues, and actual as those people are stockpiling to move to the queue. so the mid dispute, even as we discuss future mon factory vaccine, believes of a can deny that needed now, not in 2023. 1924. we may prepare for the future, but we need about this to be for the report to be as we speak, understand that but 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 us about these particular countries ability to attract these huge manufacturers? well, the point that we need to make is up up because not asking for fault from seems

to be just don't need to to them. we have money from more to lateral. now these countries run the cynical south africa, egypt i give you that actually planning fun. i do, but i think i'm the thing that i'm asking for myself is that up because, you know, i'm on a cruise box up because you're looking for the one that came to my budget for the one you wish you've talked. thank you. 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 in town markets. will that be a month for the while in africa? not been fucked about for africa. did we leave? we, you know, we're driving thought these people are putting 500000000 dollars in rhonda, in synagogue. i'm yet. and then i, you know, obviously that africa that would be much more april. so we're happy to have these initiatives, but they are far from me now. they're far from adequate. dr. g, a thin 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 always as bringing back into service the ed bus, a $380.00 super jumbo hold on a year off to a ground at the at cross. at the time as chief executive, i, i'll baca 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 air as dosa. jibari has a story. this is the world's largest twin engine plane. the experimental, boeing triple 7, x made a short visit to dos international airport, as the firm attempts to boost its 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 earth burning 20 percent less fuel. so less sir emissions from this aeroplane boeing is looking to improve its image after its 737 max plane was grounded last year, 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 8 airline carriers earlier this year. but due to technical issues and concerns from regulators, it's now been pushed back till the end of 2023 at delivery date. many airlines are counting on to replace the current fleet within your more cost efficient model, which appears to be the goal for the future of the evolution industry. dorsey jibari al jazeera, doha. the pandemic has been unkind to the aviation industry with 40 airlines collapsing under the financial strain,

but the gloom may be lifting as bored as we open 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 pandemic, 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, 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, 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 woods out of bailed out airlines but, but not every country can afford to do that. they don't have such deep pocket stewart. no, they don't am to we estimate a little over 200000000000 has been made available to airlines from governments. 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 airlines to recover and repair the balance sheet. it must become but must have come as a relief to have the us open its borders, at least to, to some countries. does that take the pressure off? do you think? yeah, definitely, it's a big positive development. so from the 8th of november that it's reopen for 33

countries that had been prevented from blind 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 us 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 the restrictions that are still in place in terms of vaccinations and what have you, what needs to happen, well i think the key is vaccination to be on us because we've been arguing for some time the people who are vaccinations should be 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 improve significantly since the start of this pandemic. but it 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 because of the moment every country has, has different requirements for you to, to before you are allowed. fairyland is what role design to play in that. i mean, if you, if in case of you ringing up the health minister, say look, we need to get this straightened under coordinator. we have been trying to do that . and we're actually seeing greater coordination now. it was the disappointing thing i felt at the beginning of this pond to make that in effect, every country went their own way. even within europe, where you would have expected the 22nd country as india, you to coordinate with our policies. we saw 1213 different regimes place, it is going in the right direction. and in fact, one of the positives has been the development of the new 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 is 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 u. k. 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 rate was less than one percent 0.8 percent. while at the same time in the general population, the positivity rate 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 minutes ago about governance bailing painting our airlines. you said, of course those that's not free money that that's lunch. if they've got to pay that back. do you think that the government says they seem to recoup the money that they've they've learned 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 the, we are seeing some additional costs beginning to come back onto the consumer. and clearly we've got to fight against that because it's unfair to start damaging the recovery. i think people will recognize that the on the can now make contribution of aviation is significant ation and actually can play a major role in recovering economies around the world. so do you think that matters to consumers, that the fact that that, i mean they,

they don't necessarily see the breakdown. sometimes they just see this thing great some and say 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 test. and so, you know, i think this is an area that will concern consumers, but the good news executives, you said where restrictions are removed and we see an immediate recovery. and that's particularly evident in domestic markets where have 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 does the plan as far as your concern for the industry to 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 targets that most governments have agreed 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 jet kerosene. how does the relationship with aircraft manufacturers? i mean, do go to the likes of adolescent boeing and say we need to do this. we need to get our carbon emissions lower. or is it the other way around? do they come to you and they say, well look, we've got a more efficient engine. we got more efficient across. 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, 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 know 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 up to 2050, we think that's going to have limited impact. it will have more significant impact beyond 20th. we'll come a day when we can fly without emissions that will electric engine say for instance, i mean we've got some, some commercial flights now let's go off around the world on, on one, on one. so a few will will an electric power plane or other form of power play and be able to do that in, in time and not again, not into 2050 timeframe. and that's why we think sustainable fuels is the answer there. but electric hybrid electric, these will be part of the solution, particularly for shorter arrange flights and hydrogen from 2035. and again initially for short range, but beyond 2050. i think there will be technological solutions that will enable us to fly without missing any c o 2 living. and though her i've, i've, i've been 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, it was 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 bailing off tops to solicit one, their 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 will, it's been great to you. thanks for good to see. and that is our site for this week . get in touch with us bye to send me an e mailing site and do use the hash side a james seat and see when you do or drop us an email accounts. nicole that al
