9:05 am
presently we are being confronted by a new series of pathogens that are emerging out of the deep forest. primarily because planet earth is better known now as planet farm. animals that are reservoirs for av pathogens are coming up right up against new agriculture, spilling over into the livestock. and then from there, spreading out onto the global travel
9:06 am
science is in the middle of a political battle. what direction are we going to continue to conduct our civilization? are we going to continue on this pathway? or are we going to choose a different path in the path that the lends itself to have a better balance between our right to be here on the planet and survive. and the animals and landscape upon which we depend in order to do that. human societies have long faced the threats of disease. and despite so many breakthroughs in modern medicine, we find ourselves living under the shadow of pandemic that we struggle to contain. we have destroyed our by that we have harmed the plant and the planet.
9:07 am
will he sell at our expense at the expense of these global marketers? it's just an inevitable. the worry is that there's no handle this thing is going to be a force all of its own. southern africa i saw recently live series, the worst impacts of the h. i. v. pandemic. millions of people have died. millions of lives have been turned upside down. and then along comes covert and we have another pandemic to
9:08 am
tackle on top of h r v the h i v experience taught us a lot about science, vaccines and healthy justice. but when it comes to cove dine t, did the world learn anything from us? ah, before i became a filmmaker, i worked in h. i v. prevention back then. hard lessons were learned. not just in south africa, but globally. we learned the few people suffer and die whether strong commitment to public health and that where this the political will. everyone can have access to the medicine they need. as i said, we learned this the hard way, an ugly off to a lot of unnecessary suffering. that is now
9:09 am
a danger that has become a threat to his old. it is a deadly disease, and there is no known cure so far as being confined to small groups. but it's spreading. if you ignore aids, it could be the death of me said don't die of ignorance. many roasts were 1st introduced to h. r. v. through this kind of messaging, the implication was, if you become infected, you only have yourself to blame to the people who are most affected by h r. v was somehow narrowed down to the for h's. according to the u. s. center for disease control in the 1980s. these were homosexuals, patient parent alex, and whom affiliate or
9:10 am
we were told the virus originated and asked the monkey which we now know to be true . with the lack of information about how the virus jumped from one species to another, led to some pretty offensive conclusions, and stoked the blame game to the emerging health crisis. we were going to fix the subject matter if so obscene, so remoting until we are ready to discourage and do our dear level best to eliminate the types of activities which have caused the spread of the aide live with them regard normally wherever. going to solving 1978 representatives of 134 countries, 67 international organizations. and i've also asked h h s to add the aids virus to the list of contagious diseases, for which emigrants and alien seeking permanent residents in the united states can be denied entry. ah
9:11 am
you, so when you ask, what does h i v was aids questioning. does a virus cause and syndrome how does a virus cause as ingram it ah, in the 19 nineties and becky had argued against the science and was deeply skeptical of anti retroviral drugs. well enough, forgive me. his argument was a h r, v was part of a continuing conspiracy against africans. treatment of aids was declared, dear, impossible, impractical, and not cost effective. dod, i'm blue haired on deep the nihilism and lame. he was so adamant about her toxic intervals were that it almost seemed that he would do
9:12 am
anything in his power never to allow them to be used in south africa. yet more children have been infected with h of in south africa over this today. conference then will be infected in other, the united kingdom or the us in the whole of this year. and i think that's an important and frustration was running high because richer nations had the access to the new drugs developed to treat h r v. but not south africa, not unless you had lots of money. that is for most of us, h r v infection was a death sentence. we had to fight medical schools really hard around the exclusion that they had about which person was considered innocent enough to access a r v. as those were regarded as nurses who had needle stick injuries. somebody who
9:13 am
was raped could access armies, but not somebody who was gay. that somebody who had consensual sex and men became h. i v positive. those are really difficult in dock times. and i think as a young lawyer activist, it really opened my eyes. the face of us dog does doesn't lie with science. the failure of not treating a chevy lies and in the political will of all a government to chisels. it was a difficult time. it to the power of the people through the treatment action campaign to make a our retreat, not the reality. we demanding the place. i know to swear to our last dominion
9:14 am
as well as problem. becky tried to deny the existence of treatment action campaign put up the entire miserable effect of a tri county space. it is devastating from maloof and community or wyoming and getting the hell across privacy. and robin school. oh, you're good and future. in the course of a few years, the treatment action campaign i did by former president nelson mandela, ensure that this is she was firmly placed on the international agenda. as the lead is of the global health response president george bush onset by
9:15 am
championing their charitable efforts. the doctrine rural south africa describes his frustration. he says we have no medicines, many hospitals tell people you've got age. we can't help you go home and die. in an age or miraculous medicines, no person should have to hear those words. the program spearheaded by dr. antony found she, it benefited from the decision, one of the major companies to drop their peyton's voluntarily. this led to drugs being made available at a fraction of the price, but just for the developing world. for millions around the globe, the aid came too late. in south africa alone, we currently have 9000000 people. who are h i v positive. like 20. anyone is willing to
9:16 am
9:17 am
of the this by having one of the largest enter baltic and programs in the world. we still have not been able to control a heavy transmission so just in terms of what we've done, and so i turned my attention to working in a shabby vaccine so that we could find effective ways to prevent transmission. i'm so glad that you've chosen to participate in the study. thank you for contributing to finding solutions personally for myself at home, linda or my whole family. i get a bill emotional when i'm, when i'm talking about h i v was my mother, my father. my uncle's everyone. so we suffered a lot when i lost my parents are cause of the ha, how do you owe us health?
9:18 am
mister lucas? was willing to tell you to go live with people. yes, we got big food from people because of h i v. how understand if my mother was still alive, my parents until i my life and a chain. so h o v is i don't know how to explain, i'm very scared of h i v. so that's why i will is what, when i try to something those can i help in the future for this it has to be creep in tipt glenda gray is leading an international collaboration to find at h. i v vaccine spearheaded by the h i v vaccine trout network. larry curry hedge up this vast organization there is publicly funded through the us government.
9:19 am
vaccines had been left to the development by pharmaceutical companies, bailey essence, with the side. what vaccines they were gonna investigate. and the reality is, is that that often is the balance between their perceived market and societal need . we agree in h, i v, there was a huge the sale the need. there is an enormous amount of infection in the under developed world. and the non pharmaceutical market world. so you saw very rapid dropout rapid this investment one really needed to provide the clinical infrastructure to do the clinical trial. this is the most expensive part of
9:20 am
doing drug development. and we are going to, as a society, create an infrastructure i'm learning about the wonder of antibody mediated prevention, a clinical trial with the most beautiful cutting edge vaccine science. it is taken decades to develop something the targets h o. v's unique ability to evade a traditional vaccine. it feels like we're on the cusp of something really big here. the reason we call it number one of your seo. why was the 1st potent antibody that we were able to obtain from
9:21 am
one of the volunteers turned out to be an individual who was in clinical trials volunteering at an age donated his blood. and the serum had these tremendously potent antibodies against the virus. he was happy to volunteer and he knew that we isolated the santa by from the time and when that was done, several apps found and were actually able to make in the lab protein. the antibody protein that was able to kill block each ivy very potent where recommends using those in the amps study, we're not giving a vaccine. we're actually giving the antibody protein itself. if a person and individual had those air bodies before they were actually exposed, it could be completely prevented from infection. so we're almost, i'm taking a step beyond vaccine or skipping
9:22 am
a step and actually giving the body the immune proteins itself. the humanness of this, that someone who has h i v infection could actually provide someone who doesn't have h, i v infection to actually prevent them from getting which i deep. what a wonderful story, what a, what a while, no fall example of biology. the genesis of this undertaking started on a napkin on the 19th floor of this hotel. we sit down and sort of draw on a napkin. like how would we test this was end up being a pretty massive undertaking. global pandemic sneak global effort more so when you're dealing with viruses that are rapidly mutating. the reason we know what we know today's because scientists
9:23 am
have corporate to the cost many countries patropolis. we've been moving increasingly in the direction of research becoming a private affair. determined by competition and exclusivity. the big take out from h r. v was the only massive investment into public health. the sharing research could contain a deadly pandemic. in 2020 this put us in a prime position to collaborate and numerous international coverage faxing travels with so i have been involved in a whole lot of covet vaccine opportunities in tend to think technically said and we need to make sure that even though we do these trials, we have to make sure that we have access to make sure they found to be
9:24 am
patient with them. so they get better, hey, just make it a so we have to be committed to the end game. yeah. and end game is an affordable intervention for the poor. and it feels like a festival. when we started with h, i v, it was very difficult to isolate an antibody from a person in 20192020. we can do that in a matter of weeks, and we can do it 10 times a 100 times faster and more efficiently. we have isolated antibodies from cove,
9:25 am
it infected people by the hundreds in a few weeks. i think of h i v a little bit like the nasa space program it, it brought to bear all kinds of technologies that are bearing fruit in other areas . and one of those areas is emerging viruses like coding the biotech firm, modernity, therapeutics announced this morning that the 1st 8 participants in the 1st phase of its cobit 19 vaccine trial develops some antibodies after just one single dose. now that's a promising sign from the trial, done in collaboration with the national institutes of health. nations, with vaccine producing capacity pulled billions into the development of covey track seems in return for funding. the manufacturer of vaccines participating drug companies like madonna, were given full intellectual property rights over the finished product.
9:26 am
government have essentially stepped into the risk investment. and in an ideal world, public money should be greater public access. tens of thousands of volunteers signed up to participate in clinical trials. i to joined one of the trials in the beliefs of my country would gain access to those vaccines. that was successful. ah, but now we've got the us get his or baby fort fixing in france from 3 of the leading groups that are developing vix yes. so that means our opportunity to gain access to the threat since our regular this is an individual country. this was
9:27 am
perhaps the 1st sign that things were going astray with south africa's access to vaccines. as a middle income country and one so involved in vaccine development. there was no excuse for us not to have pre purchase supplies for our own population. still, they would always be kovacs. the kovacs pillar aims to ensure that every country gets fair and equitable access to eventual coven 19 vaccines. it's not about one country versus another. it's about one world. protected. sitting at the center of infectious disease control is tony found. she, for decades, he's been behind all the key interventions that have prevented outbreaks from
9:28 am
becoming global pandemic. a bowler, zacko, saws you name it, but his life's work. his passion has sent his around h. r. v inexcusable that an academic priority should ever ever come before the health of the people that you're working with. the question about that in a conflicted world, millions of children who are abandoned abused and deprived of their basic rights and needs. is the international community doing enough? unicef, executive director catherine russell and goodwill. ambassador david beckham, talked to al jazeera, full of struggles full of pleasure. no further aguaro was of another able then went full full in with them. is he? i am with. he says he blew in with god, asia, me, boy,
9:29 am
a. but when i go to our banfield, an intimate look at life in cuba, me for us on thought. i call a 2nd my boss hanger me way and i humana, but also to tell me who i am, hang that my cuba. at this time on al jazeera in the run up to earth day al jazeera showcase. his live discussion programs and special documentaries, exploring the issues behind human caused climate change. climate skepticism is entirely dependent upon the promotion of doubt. whitney screens a series of inspirational films, stories told for the eyes of those at the forefront planet. s o. s. visits, greenland, to investigate how local communities are adapting to the alarming rate of melting ice. never before in human history has the months prestige environment of the arctic. within such peril, al jazeera well documents the devastating impacts of climate change on
9:30 am
a lake and center goal. and rivers in iraq. and the st asked how societies can respond to global warming the climate emergency, a season of special programming. oh, now jeezy. ah, hello, i'm down, jordan and dough at the top stories here now to sierra, the british prime minister barak johnson has pledged more military aid for ukraine after holding talks, as president vladimir lensky and cave johnson, as the latest foreign leader to travel to the country to offer his support what protein has done in places like boucher and in up in his war crimes have permanently polluted his reputation and the reputation of his, of his government. and it is clear we discussed this at length. it's clear that what
9:31 am
he's doing now, he has suffered or a reverse, but he's retreat is tactical at he's going to intensify the pressure of ukrainian officials urging civilians and the eastern region of law hands to travel to safe up areas. people in the city of cram tosca being evacuated after missiles strike killed more than 50 people at a railway station on friday. pakistan's parliament has removed him on con, has prime minister in a no confidence vote. m p. 's will reconvene on monday to vote for new leader. and polls i just opened in france for the 1st round of the presidential election, these a picture, some paris top contenders include m incumbent him on the old macro vying for the top job. the 2 leading candidates will face off in a 2nd round of april 24th and australians go to the polls and may 21st a vote in a general election. prime minister scott morrison declared the vote, a choice between
9:32 am
a strong future and an uncertain one. i love this country and i love australians. and i know estrogens have been through a very tough time. i also know that australia continues defies very tough challenges in the years ahead. but more than either, i know that we live in the best country in the world and more than ever, i am optimistic about our future and why not. and what i know was try the ins can achieve vote counting is underway in the gambia, where people cast their ballot to pick a national assembly. a record number of candidates are vying for the 53 parliamentary seats. president adama barris facing growing political and economic discontent. well, those were the headlines. news continues here on al jazeera after ton of pandemic stature. thanks for watching i from ah,
9:33 am
science vaccines, healthy justice. i'm trying to find out if the world learned anything from r h i v, experienced in south africa for this time of global covert 19 human societies have long faced the threat of disease. and despite so many breakthroughs in modern medicine, we find ourselves living under the shadow of pandemic that we struggle to contain the seed, excuse that an academic priority should ever ever come before the health of the people that you're working with is the question about that. sitting at the center of infectious disease control is tony found she for decades, he's been behind all for key interventions that have prevented outbreaks from becoming global pandemic. ebola zacko sauce. you name it, but his life's work. his passion has centered around h. r. v. want to this,
9:34 am
wanted to that, wanted you to that wanted to that you have to pardon my man most successful vaccines or against diseases in which ultimately the immune system clears the virus . so when you do a vaccine, you designed it exactly to act like a natural infection. don't want to do that with h id because you know, the natural infection. does it reduce the good immune response? so you got to do better with ha, ah, no magic subleasing his in sobbing his internal medicine. hi guys flow by monday. the to me, companies go appear,
9:35 am
know a man mother, whom wonderful pale as on for no said his is a condo, no been language when i was so relevant. so tele medicine and i give an i know if i lose some kind of a positive. yeah. one of the challenges, well, hey, good thing we did in a my, in the q i known as tucson with a couple years after you got it visit, i read an nicotine or i'd say about it. so total perform. wanna know just how much i owe husband is just the st. angelo mckesson sub, what day? it was a cousin, piano. a vaccine is the agent that woman need. it's the agency. we don't have to worry about acquiring a chevy because you have something in your body to protect it as an empowerment tool
9:36 am
with with the thought in mind that covered an h i v only 2 of the many zonati viruses that have jumped into humans. we need to know why in recent decades, this is happening with increasing occurrence presently were being confronted by a new series of pathogens that are emerging out of the deep force and spilling over into human populations. and that seems to be increasing since the start of the century. there's been some brilliant work done by scientists to illuminate the
9:37 am
origins of h. i. v. patrice han and her group in 2006. we're able to identify 2 chimp populations in southeastern cameron. that were hosting simian immunodeficiency viruses, that were the closest related to h, i be one a group of that follow 2 years layer led by michael or a b, were able to put a date on that spill over event. the event happened in 19 o 8. gifford, take 20 years on either side of bad. ah, what was going on in 19 o 8, in this particular spot in south eastern camera. it was a period of a colonization, and you had the french and germans attempting to subjugate local indigenous groups into a new global economy. the login of
9:38 am
central africa is rein force required a large workforce to keep up with the demands for exports from the global north to feed all these workers corporations actually employed paypal mass to hunt dow bush meet ah ah, they will probably individual jumps of virus from chimps, the humans, because they use it as bush me. a man gets infected. he's out hunting with jim. he gives it to his wife. she gets infected. they're monogamous. they both get sick. they both die. you don't notice until you perturbed civilization.
9:39 am
it could have happened 50 years ago a 100 years ago, 200 years ago. but it happened with the right constellation of perturbing society. people's got doing trucking. they stay away from home. just the normal practices of your society. lead to the spread of infectious disease whose st. flat, tory lance, can be shifted upon. colbert 1931
9:40 am
emerged in 2002. it came out of bat and central china. and a lot of work since then mapped out all the different types of corona viruses, cross central and southern china increase exploitation. the landscape increased the spill over events into all sorts of other species that are suddenly finding themselves being sold at market. ah, planted bird is better know now as planet farm there's a lot of focus on the gps coordinates. the actual spot in which the virus emerged in the focus that was serving as a means of greenwashing,
9:41 am
the broader global local economy. that was in fact driving the emergence of these new pathogen with we began to look at what are call circuits of capital, our capital moods on one side of the world to the other. we came to the conclusion that places like london and new york, hong kong which are the centers of capital, are the worst disease hotspots on the planet. in part because as being the source of the capital, driving the deforestation and development from one side of the world to the other, they were serving as the primary causes for the spill over events of pathogens, from wildlife, into life, stuff and humans with . and then one day, a virus jumps from a back to another animal to be human. and then now it's not sexual practice. we're
9:42 am
unlucky enough to have a virus that spectacularly efficient in spreading from person to person by the respiratory route. and there's not much you can do about that. but as you guys would do in an africa locking yourselves into your house. but you can't do that forever. and that's our respiratory infection spreads. every time we have an epidemic, as just an affirmation of our seamless, we all have the receptor for the virus and house ah, but the sheila, the viruses density, the fuel virus is close, interpersonal contact people who live in high density. so is this fairness of brought out al, magnified in all populations throughout the world you got
9:43 am
to understand the social determinants of health. you know, in the united states with cove it, we have a, an extraordinary disparity. where is african americans and latinos, x and asian americans? their infection rate and death rate is enormously higher. ah, so when you broaching a disease, you need to understand if you don't understand that you're not gonna get your arms around the disease. and for many ross, particularly if you're black and pool, he doesn't matter. have you in the global south or living in a wealthy nation, you're hanging on to life by a threat. then these pandemic come along, covered a chart, v and the o. it's against you to stack up. ah
9:44 am
ah, how do we manage an epidemic when we have no support for the poor and we have no support for the sick. and so not only are we going to see people dying from cove at 19 in our country, we're going to see people dying from other diseases like h. harvey and t. b. new york state now has more reported corona virus cases than any country in the world. world wide, it's clear. the public healthcare systems are the last fortress against pandemic,
9:45 am
watts at burton and in the united states, the pioneer of privatization coverage showing how deadly days to come, modify the social right to house the u. s. was now prepared for this pandemic, in effect, abandoned up public health of the cove at 19 outbreak. show this in open ah clarity. when the trump administration took over, he ended the pandemic preparation. he divested out of public health. that's in part how we've arrived that this apparent clash between science on the one hand in trump, on the other. ah, when we catch up with toady vouching, he remains diplomatic about the deep riffs that fall between him and the then
9:46 am
president. we were consider the best prepared country for a pin them. but as it turns out, when you get a walker, like coven 19, you're never as prepared as you really want to be. so that was the tension that sort of merged into some political divisiveness in the country. so 28000000 americans are without insurance, even after obamacare. 24000000 americans are under insured. o swats of the country are in essence disconnected out our of our capacity to intervene in their health insurer . ah, can you tell me?
9:47 am
i dish the h r v vaccine to get where it is, but was covering was, we're looking at the end of this year. well, it's been more than a decade rad. we started at vaccine were in h r, the 1986 to 7. the amp study, if it works, if we do get protection, will be the 1st in a multi step process of getting very good protection by pearson transfer in definitely worth the investment. particularly among women in south africa who are at such enormous risk of getting infected at around the same time as the 1st covey vaccines were gaining emergency approval. early results of the ab trav were released, providing some hope at last foot
9:48 am
h r v vaccine. to now i'm going to show you the results of captain, okay. say this shows you that the that the infection rate was lower in the, in the treatment arms in the infusion arms and shows us that the infusion did work . so they would say easy that then g, a positive, a positive result. very happy is an amazing, amazing, well, this is a legacy to your parents. okay. so by volunteering and that he
9:49 am
was a good results coming out of the i'm trial a vaccine that prevents h r v is finally insight. but what will this really mean for the world's poor? will the vaccine get to the people who need it? or, like covered will, payton's be used to limit supplies, ensuring higher profits for a small group of powerful companies. there is a growing concerned as we end 2020, about why it is taking so long for the country to receive the coven 19 vaccine. the entire world has promised solid guarantee at the beginning of this pen, demi, but at the same time, rich country is what already buying up supplies, what we call the advance market commitment, or pre dosages of something that was not checked on the market. 13 percent of the
9:50 am
world's population who reside in rich countries had bought up more than half of the wells potential supply of vaccine this can't vaccine nation is a new, a new to vaccine nationalism they bought for their own countries. in fact, some cases, 2 or 3 and one, because even 5 times the amount that's required for the population gentle, there any comes to other vaccines that their premium produced into public immunization programs against life threatening diseases to stick and can't 20 years before those mexicans become available in low income countries compared to indian could you can high income countries. this is where we were with the h. i. v. pandemic. 8 years after the therapeutics were available in the west. we have not received them. and we lost 10000000 people. is the old movie again. we have no access to vaccines. ah,
9:51 am
ah. we will let down the garden pass. okay, we got to december believing that the whole world was coming together to purchase vaccines. not knowing that we'd been curled into a little corner, whilst others ran off and secured the supplies. it was deliberate. those with the resources pushed their way to the front of the queue and took control of their production assets. the same thing that paid out in h i v aids. if you rely on charity and if you rely only on the benevolence on the pharmaceutical industry, you won't secure nothing. i didn't hind sight to take such a risk, to peg
9:52 am
a whole nation's health and welfare on charity. it seems crazy to me, especially as we know that some variance are causing worldwide concern because of their ability to dodge antibodies. surely the same thing to do would be to flood the world with vaccines to get the virus less room to mutate. viruses do not mutate unless they are allowed to replicate and spread. if you prevent the virus from spreading, it will not you take and you will not get another very using the idea of this being a gigantic clinical trial. dr. glenda gray, i'm professor larry curry organized a shipment of 500000 vaccines in to south africa. that would work against severe it
9:53 am
dominant at the time. i'm beginning to overwhelm our hospitals. long day, long and long, long day and long, long 14 days hopefully we'll be able to fix needs half a 1000000 healthcare, which is the we then get the vaccine to them that before the 3rd wave, their game to be burnt off. is this going to be misery? ah, we have millions of immunosuppressed people in our country. and these millions are potential ways of was for variance of concern. africa becomes this cesspool of variance of concern. and we don't have vaccines. and so i think that this gonna get worse and worse
9:54 am
