believe them the beginning there have been informed opinions, lighting, politicians will now be under incredible pressure from the young people. that is one of the most of the things that come out of these critical debate. do you think that age should be facilitated? not sure. okay, it's a great, it's a really simple question. let's give samuel a child once. inside story on al jazeera, ah, [000:00:00;00] with hello, i'm molly inside. this is counting the cost on al jazeera, your look at the wells of business and economics. this week, as big pharma refuses to says, coded vaccine secrets, the wealth, how vocalization highest

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 by said by the pandemic. the airline industry hopes to put the billions in losses behind it. we talk to the former chief executive of boise shy, weighs about the industries recovery. i'm door such a bar 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 album, bore law describes that is covered 19 oral anti viral drug. the pharmaceutical jain claims it cuts the risk of hospitalization and death by 89 percent. global markets have welcome the needs of the additional weapon in the fight against cove it

a virus which 19 months has crippled economies and lead to the deaths of more than 5000000 people. but on surprisingly, campaign as are already raising concerns that the rich world will warm again, corner, the antique faro market. let's crunch some numbers. the biggest make as of vaccines have seen super size sales of fair coven jobs. 5 expect sales of $36000000000.00. this year and astrazeneca foresees revenue of just over 2000000000. 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, low a middle income countries like india shown here in light blue received the vast majority

of the 2200000000 dices 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. while it looks like 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 flies as 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 medicine's patent poll to provide low income countries with

a cheaper option. which is in sharp contrast to its attitude to handing over the patents for its job, which is 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 a new vaccines for malaria an h i v. what does this all mean for the developing and 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. there's been huge pressure on big farm in wealth and 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 a mac adult. and that to the so we have doses that have been taught pile for each countries. and now they can do that using those low risk people. and also using the type those as well. what country i still waiting to get their hands. i know that none of boats 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 mean presenting, did as a solution, 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 countries is unable to do this anyway. so what comes up in big bits to patchy. some of the arguments in the book seen 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 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 the plan that we're hearing, the blue children up with about logic 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 it 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 that a, 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 future and 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 5 boost as until everyone has a team. 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 are even our own and injustice petition is asking for. we need to

commit action because a long time action will be good by the cancel, the current problem which box in a box in delay in tonight it's called plates. when it comes to the new curve at 19 pail treatment pill, pfizer, that 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 more people activities is actually broken here. if you look at the amount of money that actually is being put together by companies like what, you know, well, meaning and thing that when put in $500000000.00 to be a puncture they're, they're going from the late sense to, you know, mentions putting m p, p full countries, but they're making, i think between them are down and then we can make the $3000000000.00 a profit next the so it is actually talking to them. and i think they're really

meeting well they should actually see it. we are not, we are going to provide that technology in a month. was anyone fuck just so that we can ramp up those. then we have enough for everyone including this one that was that want based on that, but for now, you know, holding the button for the most necessary tool again is called the 1900 right now. then providing they, you know, the patent for, for the mid 3.11 to peak it in future. what you're holding does, i'm telling the rich countries, because all non terms of pricing is actually, i would say it is 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, 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 back of the queue, so that mid dispute faster, even as we discuss future mon factory vaccine, the leaves of can deny that needed now, not in 2023. 1924. we may prepare for the future, but we need about this to be for the day to day as we speak. i understand that, but investment is investment and we have these new buy and take hubs that have been planned for countries like senate gal,

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 look up because not asking for fault for what seems to be just don't need to to them. we have money from much lateral. now these countries run the cynical south africa, egypt i give you that actually planning a thing 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. i think you might 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 been a while in africa, not been fucked about for africa. then we are lead we, you know, we're driving towards these people. putting $500000000.00 in, in cynical i'm yet and then i, you know,

obviously that africa that would be much more willing from. so we're happy with these initiatives, but they are far from the mouth. 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. ah, that's our airways is bringing back into service. the air bus, a 3 a c supa, jumbo more than a year off to a ground at the, at cross. at the time as chief executive about 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, 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

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 on was investing in your 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 airplane. 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 caused 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 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. dorset jibari 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 waltz, the director general of the international air transport association. i'm actually more confident that we will get back to normal, but it's going to take some time in we're predicting 20232024. depending on where you are in the world. but we're heading in the right direction now. okay, about 40 airlines went under during the pandemic. is that situation got to get worse, but before before we reached out, but 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 their aircraft grounded 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 world's out of bailed out airlines, but, but not every country can afford to do that. they don't have such deep pockets. do that. no, they don't, em to west. maybe 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, and 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 was 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 some countries. and does that take the pressure off you say yeah, definitely. it's a big positive developments from the 8th of november that it's reopen 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. so 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, had to go visit relatives abroad. but while some of us are managing to do that at the moment we were talking before we started the interview about how difficult it is with all of the strips 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 honest, 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 vaccine, 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 energy and 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 standard nation standardization of requirements, big peers at 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, you know, in case of you reading up the health and this is a look, we need to get this straight and called and they told me, well, 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. i make that in effect, every country went their own way. even within europe, where you would've expected the 22nd country. as in d, u to coordinate with our policies,

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 highlight, 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 i've 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,

the positivity rates with 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 by can february of last year. when we were talking a few moments ago about governance bailing bailey, our airlines, she's you said, of course those that's not free money, that's lunch that they're going 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 perfectly for long hall 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 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 consume as the, the fact that that, i mean they don't necessarily see the breakdown sometimes i just see this in great summer. i think, well that's expensive. yeah. it's definitely discouraging. some people, particularly when you add 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 dollars to 200 and $70.00 for the same test. and 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 crosshairs right now for, for its emissions. and it was the planned as far as your concerns 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 target 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 jack kerosene. how does the relationship with our cross 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 round? do they come to you and they say, well look, we've got a more efficient engine. we've got more efficient aircraft. yeah. it's, 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 to see airbus, for example, are committing to having a hydrogen powered aircraft, which clearly would be gross to 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 up to 2050, we think that's going to have limited impact. it will have more significant impact beyond 20th. we 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 that can go half around the world 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 or 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 short range flights and hydrogen from 2035. and again,

initially for short range, but beyond 2050, i think the will be technological solutions of will enabler supply 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, 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 auction is provided to consumers, i think a lot of consumers look at it, but they're, they're not actually availing of the servicing. 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, you know, we are listening to what consumers are telling us. and more and more people are saying, this is the number one item. well,

it's been great. talk to you. thanks. sorry about that of good to see. and that is our site for this week. get in touch with us bye to send me an malling site and do use the house side ajax teams and see when you do more. drop us an email accounts. nicole sat out, is there a dot net east address, but that is more for you online. at al serra dot com slash ctc, that'll take you straight to our page, which has entire episodes to catch on. that is that the sedition all counting the cost on money and site from the whole team. thanks for joining us. the news on al jazeera is next ah and
