a drive through the ruins of what was once a bustling suburb of mary, you pulse near the cities as of style factory, the scene of fierce fighting russian back soldiers from the break away region of don. yet around patrol some of them conscripts like 18 year old gladys love who salvage wireless fellow nicholas, what can i say? they called me up to go to war, but i wasn't hiding from it. i came on my own volunteer all around evidence of what weeks of intense fighting has reduced much of this city to with unexpectedly strong resistance the well with, with well, with 3 i thought it would go better if i thought it would be foster. harrison is going slowly. ukrainians are trained fighters in other parts of the city under russian control. some clearing up is underway, while people try to live as best they can. russia has blamed what it calls ukrainian nationalists for what it describes as

a humanitarian catastrophe here. but ukrainian president vladimir zalinski, blames rushes invading army, claiming, and an address to parliamentarians in south korea, the 10s of thousands of people are likely to have been killed in the city. my tuple roonan marie, opal is destroyed. there are tens of thousands of dead. but even so, the russians do not stop the offensive. they want to make an example. mario post one another's several 100 people are now thought to have died in a theatre, where many families had taken refuge. drone footage shows the extent of the devastation to that one building that was attacked in spite of the word deity or children. being marked clearly on the ground. president zalinski says the coming days will be crucial for ukraine with the expected renewed offensive in the east. he says the russians have amassed an army of tens of thousands and have every intention of repeating what they've already done it. maria pope robert bride al

2. ready hazily were being confronted by a new series of pathogens that are emerging out of the deep forest. primarily because planet earth is better now. now as planet far life 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 on to the global travel

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 with disease. and despite so many breakthroughs in modern medicine, we find ourselves living under the shadow of pan makes that we struggled to contain

we have destroyed our by that we have harmed the plan and the planet will heal itself. at our expense, had the expense of these global marketers, it 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 of age turned upside down. and

then along comes covert. and we have another pandemic to 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. oh 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 whether it's 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

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 bmw the people who are most affected by h r. v was somehow narrow down to the for h's. according to the u. s. center for disease control in the 1980s. these were homosexuals, patients, parent alex, and whom affiliate or

we were told of iris originated enough, 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've gotta 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 aid lever 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 you so when you ask a question, does h i the pause aids questioning does a virus cause and syndrome? how does a virus cause a syndrome? it gone ah, in the 19 nineties and becky had argued against the science and was deeply skeptical of anti retroviral drugs. well enough forgotten, 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. god, i'm blue, i'm here it on deep the nihilism and lame,

he was so adamant about her toxic intervals were that it almost seemed that he would do anything in his power never to allow them to be used in south africa, yet more to than have inflicted 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 aren't around the exclusions 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 was raped could access our means, 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 chic distance. it was a difficult time. it to powell of the people through the treatment action campaign to make a our retreat, not the reality, we demanding that i know to swear to our last dominion

as well as problem. becky tried to deny the existence of treatment action campaign put up the entire miserable effect of aids right in the space. it is deborah escaping from maloof and community or wyoming and getting health care services. and robin school. oh, you're good and featured in the course of a few years, the treatment action campaign i did by former president, nelson mandela and sure that the she, she was firmly placed on the international agenda. as the lead is of the global health response president george bush onset by 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 a's. 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 payton'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 july 20 and will will. and i look at the time in the ninety's who are no pause. you see a peasant changing to a skeleton uses me so scary. so yeah, i h i v i had on my letter today about a month that i use lessons that google id campuses go walk in with

all the spots having one of the largest enjoyable treatment programs in the world. we still have not been able to control a chevy transmission so just in terms of what we've done, and so i turned my attention to working in a vaccine research 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. if i get a bit 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 pound we're oh has health me mister lucas was one. it's well, we had 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 appears to be pre been tipped. 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 for the us government

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 . for a couple of in h, i fi, 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

doing drug development and we are going to, as a society, create an infrastructure i'm learning about the wanda of antibody mediated prevention, a clinical trial with the most beautiful cutting edge vaccine science. it is taken decades to develop something that 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

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 boy 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 h, i v, very potent where recommends using those in the amp 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 the vaccine or skipping 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 down 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 have

cooperated across 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 and sharing research could contain a deadly pandemic. in 2020 this put us in a prime position to collaborate in the numerous international coverage vaccine travels with to have been involved in the hood of climate vaccine opportunities in terms of being 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 cases with them doesn't get better. hey, just make it. yeah. i. 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 cov, 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 kogan, the biotech firm, modernity therapeutics announced this morning that the 1st 8 participants in the 1st phase of its covey. 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 cove with vaccines in return for funding the manufacture of vaccines participating drug companies like madonna were given full intellectual

property rights over the finished product, governments 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 right now we've got the us get his old baby fort fixing and fought from 3 of the leading groups that are developing bricks. yes. so that means our opportunity to

gain access to it as vaccines are very limited as an individual country. this was 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 co max. a kovacs pillar aims to ensure that every country gets fair and equitable access to eventual cove at 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 becoming global pandemic. a bowler, zacko sauce, you name it. but his life's work, his passion has centers around h r v. in excuse that an academic priority should ever ever come for the health of the people that you're working with. the question about that the scars of former yugoslavia, civil wars run deep. but for years the balkans had managed to keep a fragile piece. now with ukraine alight and europe on high alert for russian meddling. the mood is uneasy. people in power travels to bosnia where threats to secede by serb leader miller ad dough. dick have ignited fears that conflict could return bosnia testing the piece on al jazeera

houses. the is here to report on the people often ignored but who must be hurt. how many other channels can you say? we'll take the time and put extensive thought into reporting from under reported areas. of course we cover major global events, but our passion lives in making sure that you're hearing the stories from people in places like how is fine lydia yemen, the south region. and so many other, we go to them, you make the effort, we care, we state a think lake nitika attract tourists and under pins, the local economy. thousands depend on its precious ah, al jazeera well explored the major environmental issues above and below the surface . that threatened lake red bus very existence center goals spring plate on al jazeera,

i la la la la dokey mentoring. nice. i'm was guy on al jazeera lou. hello there. i'm gillian mcdonalds here in london with your top stories on al jazeera. ukraine says it expects russia to launch a huge new offensive in its eastern region. imminently rushes moving military vehicles towards the front lines of lou hands, according to its regional governor and u. s. officials say they believe moscow is reinforcing and re supplying its trips in the drone bass region. in mario paul soldiers say they are preparing for last battle after weeks of siege grains, as tens of thousands of people have died in the strategically valuable port, city. european union,

foreign minister supplies more support for ukraine in its war with russia at a meeting in luxembourg. they've discussed ear marking another $544000000.00 for weapons. we're also talking about additional sanctions against russia and sanctions . we continue discussing about how to implement the sanctions to avoid any kind of loop holes. we measure deem vector these sanctions as having on your russian economy. and we will continue discussing in order to see what else can be done, nothing you solve the table, including sanctions to norland gosh, shabazz sharif has been sworn in as pakistan's, new prime minister. the former opposition leader is this is succeeding him. ron khan, who was ousted in an old confidence boat over the weekend sharif, will form a new government until the general election is held after august of next year. french president emanuel mccall, his back on the campaign trail. this time in the northern city of demo,

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 cove at 19 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 the st excuse that an academic priority should ever ever come before the health of the people that you're working with. there's no 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 centers around h. r. v. wanted to this,

wanted to that, wanted you to that wanted to that you have to play are the most successful vaccines or against diseases in which ultimately the immune system clears the virus . so when you do a vaccine, you design it exactly to act like a natural infection. don't want to do that with h id because you know, the natural infection doesn't reduce a good immune response. so you gotta do better with ha, ah, no managing sample as in his, in solving his internal medicine. hi guys. slow by, maybe to me, companies go appear,

know a man, mother, whom window so pale as on for no sentences, a condo, noon being language. when i was so valuable though telemedicine, and then given, i know if i lose some coverage is of a positive for me. i was telling you, well hey, what, then we didn't a my in the q i known as tucson would have a couple years after you got it visit, i would advocate or i'd say about it. so total perform when i know how much i owe husband is just the st. john mckesson sub, what day it was killing pierre and you this is the agent that woman need. that'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

with with the thought in mind, if it covered an h i v or 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

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, b 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 a local indigenous groups into a new global economy. the login of

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 to humans because they use it as bush me. a man gets infected. he's out hunting which him? he gives it to his wife. she gets affected there monogamous. they both get sick. they both die. you don't notice until you perturbed civilization.

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 got doing trucking. they stay away from home. just the normal practices of your society. lead to the spread of infectious disease whose st. lavatory lamps can be shifted upon cobit 19.

thorns one emerged in 2002. it came out of bats and central china. and a lot of work since been mapped out all the different types of corona viruses, cross central and southern china increase exploitation. the landscape increased that spill over events into all sorts of other species that are suddenly finding themselves being sold at market. ah, planet earth is better known now as planet farm. ah, 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, the broader global local economy. that was in fact driving the emergence of these new pathogen with we began to look at what are called 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 stuck in humans with . and then one day, a virus jumps from a to another animal to be human. and then now it's not

sexual practice. we're 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 effort to locking yourselves into your house, but you can't do that forever. and that's so a respiratory infection spreads every time we have an epidemic that's just an affirmation of our seamless we all have the receptor for the virus and i house ah, but the sheila, the viruses density, the fuel, the virus is close. interpersonal contact. people who live in high density so these disparities brought out well magnified in all populations throughout the

world. you got to understand the social determinants of health. you know, in the united states with cove it, we have 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 that if you don't understand that, you're not gonna get your arms around the disease. for many ross, particularly if you're black and poor, he doesn't matter if you're in the global south or living in a wealthy nation, you're hanging on to life by a threat. then these pan tamika come along, covered a chart v and the odds against you to stack up.

ah 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 a chevy in 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, or the last fortress against pandemic,

watson birches, and in the united states, the pioneer privatization, covert showing how deadly these could modify the social right to house. the u. s. was now prepared for this pandemic. it had in effect, abandoned of public health or 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 i catch up with toby found chin, he remains diplomatic about the deep riffs that fall between him and the then

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 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. of 28000000 americans are without insurance. even after obamacare, $24000000.00 americans are under insured. o slots of the country are in essence disconnected out our of our capacity to intervene in their health bmw. ah, and he told me,

dash h c h r v vaccine to get where it is, but was covering with, we're looking at the end of this year. well, it's been more than a decade rad. we started that vaccine were in nature, the 1986 to $7.00. 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 transferred in. definitely worth the investment. particularly among women in south africa who were 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 i'm trav were released providing some hope at last foot

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. it shows us that the infusion did work . sarah, they would say, is he that then she a positive, a positive result? very happy is an amazing, amazing. well, this is a legacy to your parents. okay, sir, by volunteering and study them with

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 cove at 19 vaccine. the entire world has promised solid guarantee in 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 commitments, or pre dosages of something that was not checked on the market. 13 percent of the

world's population who reside in rich countries had bought up more than half of the world's potential supply of vaccine. this current vaccine nation is a new, a new to baxley nationalism they bought for their own countries. in fact, some cases to occur in one cuz even 5 times the amount that's required for the population general, do any, comes to other vaccines at their premium, to use into public immunization programs against life threatening diseases to stick and can, to 20 years before those vaccines. 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, ah. we will lay 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 work secure nothing. i did hindsight to take such

a risk to pack a whole nation's health and welfare on charity. it seems crazy to me, especially as we know that some variants causing worldwide concern because of their ability to dodge antibodies. surely the safe thing to do would be to flood the world with vaccines to get the virus restroom. 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. organize a shipment of 500000 vaccines into south africa. that would work against severe it

dominant at the time. i'm beginning to overwhelm our hospitals. long day, long, a long, long day, and long a long, 14 days. hopefully we'll be able to the next half a 1000000 healthcare is that we then get the vaccine to them that before that they'd waive their game see event 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 things at this going to get worse and worse.

throughout africa. we have seen that wherever h i v became endemic. so did tuberculosis. the waves of infectious diseases are influencing and chava. at the same time, the higher the burden of disease, the more public health systems get on the mind. then because we can't care for our sick, we are threatened by deadly mutations that one day may not be able to respond to our vaccines at all. this is a vicious circle, playing out in our life time with deadly consequences for the entire whoa. the patents prevented people getting h harvey medicine. what devastating for the global south? the failure to learn this with colgate has in my view, been nothing less than

a crime against humanity. it some be capitalism marching us towards our mutual destruction. surely it's time we finally break our dependency on the pharmaceutical companies as we began to, to use or 20 years ago with h. i. v. drugs to water society learnt from this time of pandemic that we have encroached upon nature to the extent that now it's only a matter of time before we face another threat. that seems clear enough. but what about the more difficult issue of how prepared we are for what to come

cove, it has revealed that our count approach to public health is simply not working. maybe this is our last chance to go back to an older path. we once traveled health as a basic right, not letting the market determine who gets access to innovation. not treating the global south as a charity case and turning us into a petri dish of variance. not letting the crest for profit lead us all further into catastrophe. is it really such a radical idea to poke people 1st? oh ah
