[000:00:00;00] ah, now jill's difference in determination, i'm talking about with freedom. with the 16 people with corruption and compassion, al jazeera wound, a selection of the best films from across our network of channels. the latest news, as it breaks, thought into the opposition. the only way forward is abiding by demographic norms and the root of law in boston with detailed coverage all throughout her pain. you see sites like this seems all every artillery shelling there is almost complete

destruction from around the world. so many people wanted frosted, strong leader at a time of crisis. ah, alarm darren jordan and dough on the top stories here and al jazeera russia has confirmed a blast about its warship, moskva, the flagship of its black sea fleet. the russian defense ministry says ammunition on board, the ship exploded, leaving it severely damaged. but the crane and military says it struck the vessel with cruise missiles. the crew estimated to be around $500.00 has been evacuated. what's on periods from the international institute for strategic studies? he says, ukraine's military technology will only get better. they receive more aid from the u. s. it's a huge psychological blow to russia and it's a huge psychological ukraine. i think the context here is that we know the bustle

on the ground and are all to the coastal town has really gone in russia. even the last couple of days, so from ukraine snapped down to claim them to strike roches. naval flagship is a huge boost, and i think it shows how this war is developing because it's going to show you currently, and he's increasingly sophisticated weaponry to defend best guys in the coastline. if this is a confirmed course, one, i think interesting fact about this particular vessel is commissioned quite a long time ago in 1980. so despite the prominent role that is happening, rushes military operations in the past and ukraine in georgia or even in other places all the complex quinn old vessel. and it may actually be the case that some of this area defense systems and not cutting edge the net to miss out. but apparently it was used by the ukrainians to strike this vessel was, of course, bought from ukraine's coast probably. and it has a range. you can super range. i mean, this was

a barrier between 10200 kilometers. it's quite a long range weapon. so it may actually be the case that russia ship was operating beyond its own means to defend itself. that's one of the, one of the quite surprising features of this conflict a lot which this incident really brings to the full from is, was rush is on force, is really a parade route. military, in the sense that it has a lot of impressive weaponry, impressive formations that look really quite fearsome before they're deployed into a high intensity, conventional almost peer to peer to some of the equipment conflict, which is what's happened now. and i think even more wiring for russia with this instance is the provision of nights. a sophisticated weaponry ukrainian also is only going to intensify. you seen this from bite and mason nations. the technologies that you can use, the source of cruise missiles, defensive technologies, you crate, only don't receive war, and they may be too much for rushes on. horses to actually match in certain

contexts. rasa says it's now in full control of the port in the ukrainian city of matter. you poll, but ukraine denies this. tens of thousands of civilians are trapped in the besieged city. it's mass, as russian forces are covering up war crimes that we know the u. s. is sending an additional $800000000.00 worth of security assistance to ukraine. it'll include how it's a canons and $40000.00 artillery rounds, hundreds more, javelin missiles from thousands more. anti almost systems are also being sent. but keep will not get any fighter jets as part of the package article hanging as more from washington d. c. this is very significant. we're seeing now from the u. s. that they're willing to not only do more of a, provide more for ukraine in its war efforts. there are reports that the u. s. is now looking at the intelligence, it's been sharing with ukraine and are looking to expand that, including possibly showing russian locations in the don bass. that is something they are exploring. something if they do,

they probably won't confirm publicly 3 palestinians have been killed by israeli forces in the occupied west bank. the youngest was a 14 year old boy was ready forces have been conducting raids over the past 5 days after palestinian gunman. hill 3 is radio and television last week. these pictures are from sil, what outside of ramallah way is really on the vehicles i've been pelted with stones . some asylum seekers who tried to reach the u. k by crossing the english channel could soon be flown to rwanda. for processing, it's all part of a deal that's expected to be announced on thursday. the u. k. will give orlando just over a $130000000.00 as part of the trial scheme. rights groups though, have criticized the decision. ah

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 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 a path that lends itself to a, a better balance between our right to be here on the planet and survive and the animals and landscape of on which we depend in order to do that. human societies have long faced the threats with disease. 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 will heat. so 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 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 cov, dine tape,

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 loved the few people suffer and die whether strong commitment to public health and that where this the political will, every one 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 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 we were told the virus originated and after 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. im going to fix the subject matter if so i've seen so revolting 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 aids epidemic. god normally, wherever gonzales, $978.00, representatives of $134.00 countries, $67.00 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. so when you ask, what does h i v was aids?

the question is, does a violence cause and syndrome? how does a virus cause a syndrome? it con, in the 19 ninety's and becky had argued against the science and was deeply skeptical of anti retroviral drugs. well enough, again, his argument was that h r v was part of a continuing conspiracy against africans. treatment of age was declared near impossible, impractical, and not cost effective. dod, i'm flu, head on deep, the nihilism and blame. 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 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 ronnie. hi, because richard 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 injury, somebody who was raped could excess al 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 that faded off as duck does, doesn't lie with science. the failure of not teaching a chevy lies. and in the political will of all a government to cheat. this is it was a difficult time it to powell of the people through the treatment action campaign to make a r v trip. not the reality. we demanding da da da da square to address dominion as well as problem big. he tried to deny the existence of treatment action

campaign put up the entire miserable effect of aids fighting. the space is deborah's taking from maloof and community or wyoming and depleting health care services. and robin school. oh, you're good. and through 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 answered by championing their charitable efforts for 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. and age a miraculous medicines no person should have to hear those words. the programs be headed by doctor 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 age 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'm 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 don't when i'm a good i was in sibley, it was, it was a walk me this far having one of the largest intuitive article 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 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 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 me. my husband was one. it's well we are to go live with people. yes, we got big food from people because of h i v. i understand if my mother was still alive,

my parents until i my life and have 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 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 that is publicly funded through the u. s. 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 hands, societal need 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 drop out rapid dis, 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 wonder of antibody mediated prevention, a clinical trial with the most beautiful cutting edge vaccine sides. it is taking 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 sa thirst, 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 satellite from the time

and when that was done, several apps found and were actually able to make in the lab protein, the embodied protein that was able to kill block each very pump 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 individual had those air bodies before they were actually exposed, it could be completely prevented from infection. so we're almost taking a step beyond a vaccine. we're 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 idea what a wonderful story, what are, what a while? no problem,

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 it on a napkin like how would we test this? was ended 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 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 which sharing research could contain a deadly pandemic. in 2020, this put us in a prime position to collaborate in a numerous international coverage vaccine trials. so i have been involved in a whole lot of kind of faxing opportunities in terms of thing technically said. and we need to also make sure that even though we do these trials, we have to make sure that we have access to make sense. if they found to be cases a me last night then does it get better? hey,

just make it. yeah. i so we have to be committed to the end game. yeah. and the end game is an affordable intervention for the per i feel like a procedure when we started with h, i v, it was very difficult to isolate an antibody from person in 20192020, which 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, 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 manufacturer of vaccines participating drug companies like madonna, were given full intellectual property rights over the finished product. government have essentially stepped into the risk investment and it an ideal world . public money should be greater public access.

tens of thousands of volunteers signed up to participate in clinical trials. i to joint 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 or baby fort fixing in france from 3 of the leading groups that are developing bricks. yes. so that means our opportunity to gain access to the threat since 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 not about one country versus another. it's about one world,

protected saws you name it. but his life's work, his passion has sent his around h r v c. an excuse that an academic priority should ever ever company for the health of the people that you're working with. there's no question about that. blue from the ruins of mosul. music as re emerged. these are some of 40 musicians who make up the whatever orchestra in iraq 2nd largest city, despite being bound been mostly was occupied by i so the melodies arrived 3rd, been christian curd, arab sundays. and she has these young men and women represent the diversity of iraq to be able to hear music. i'm in the ruins of muscles. all city feel strange, but it brings home the resilience of residents who say that despite the destruction and lack of help,

they remain committed to bringing the city back to life. in 20 a journalist lead 40 days of civic action against the armenian government. i'm president sockets, yann's group on power a basque separatist movement is found alive and well on the terraces of a build bow stadia. a place where political revolutionaries share a platform on ideology with violent football, hooligan, read, or death. on al jazeera, russia says it's now in full control of the port and the cranium. city model, you poll, but ukraine denies this. tens of thousands of civilians are trapped in the port city. it's mass, as russian forces covering up all crimes that to 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 cameroon, that were hosting simian immune deficiency 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 event happened in 19

o 8 gifford. take 20 years on either side of back what was going on in 19 o. 8, in this particular spot in southeastern 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's reign 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 people. max to hunt down push meet

ah, there were probably individual jumps of virus from chips. the humans because they use it as bush me. a man gets infected. he's out hunting 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. 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. through the same flat tory lamps can be shifted upon cove. at 1931 emerge 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, planet earth is better known now as planet farm was 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 vertical economy. that was in fact driving the emergence of these new pathogen with we began to look at what or call circuits of capital o capital moods on one side of the world to the other. we came to the conclusion that places like london and new york, all 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 a lifestyle in humans with . and then one day, a virus jumps from a bat, airy disparity where is african americans and latinos, x and asian americans. their infection rate and death rate is enormous. if you don't understand it, you're not gonna get your arms around the disease. ah, for many of us, particularly if you're black and poor, 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. ah . with hiding the men needs 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 of the last fortress against pandemic, watts at burton. and in the united states, the pioneer privatization covered assuring have their ladies to come modify the

social right to house the u. s. was now prepared for this pandemic in effect. abandon of 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 tony found chain, he remains diplomatic about the deep riffs took form 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 whopper, light cove,

it 19th, you're never as content as you really want to be. so that was the tension that sort of merged into some political divisiveness in the country. a 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. ah, i h r v vaccine to get where it is. but with covered with, we're looking at the end of this year. well, it's been more than

a decade rad. we started at vaccine. we're in h r, the 1986 to 7. the amps study, if it works, if we do get protection, will be the 1st in a multi step process of getting very good protection. my peers that 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 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 . so they would say, is he there 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 study them with 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? who's a vaccine get to the people who need it, or like covered who payton be used to limit supplies, ensuring higher profits for a small group of powerful companies. there is 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 solidarity at the beginning of this pandemic. but at the same time, rich country is well already buying up supplies, what we call the advance market commitment, or pre dosages of something that was not yet 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 cause even 5 times the amount that's required for the population. generally, when it comes to other vaccines that they're pretty introduced into public immunization programs against life threatening diseases thick and can to 20 years before those vaccines become available in low income countries compared to endangered youth in high income countries. and this is where we were with the h. i v pandemic. 8 years after the therapeutics were available in the west, we had not received them and we lost 10000000 people. is the old movie again? we have no access to vaccines. ah,

ah, we will lead down the garden pass. okay, we've 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 the sam variance of causing worldwide concern because of ability to dodge antibodies going business. or 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 take a long, long day, long a 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 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 each other. 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 peyton said prevented people getting h. harvey medicine. what devastating for the global south. the failure to learn this with cover it 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 do, sir 20 years ago with h i v drugs to

water society learnt from this time offender mix 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? covert has revealed that our current 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 crushed for profit the dust

all further into catastrophe. is it really such a radical idea to foot people 1st? oh. of struggles full of pleasure at them? i would i lean on this same team. huh. you me, me go and megan lee. boy, they from indian people west on me. how me an intimate look at life in cuba, he would have been done. don't know what again to say, listen, look again, anderson hasn't done other than one. my leave. my cuba on al jazeera we don't simply focus on the politics of the conflict. if the human suffering that we report,

we brave bullet bomb and we always include the views from our sites with hello, thank you for joining in. we're going to turn down the temperature is a bit for the arabian peninsula. let's get into those details right now. but temperature is, are creeping up a bit in the levant. we've got some twenties once again. and we've got this line of cloud that could generate some showers. so we go in for a closer look right now at shower, is that too far away from re i'd and same goes for key weight. in fact, the risk of seen some thunderstorms on thursday, showers still on friday, and then the winds will shift around to the northwest. so that will knock down your temperatures to actually slightly uh below where they should be for this time of the year. some instability around cobble and also is bumble bog. 34 degrees for you . and off to turkey. we go, turkeys, northeast black, sea coast, some showers. so that will play places like tribes on with the high beloved degrees . but really, the bulk of the energy will be out toward the black sea, central africa. right now, it's western areas of congo into gab on and camera room. we're really going to see

the heaviest bursts of rain on thursday. and we'll end this weather report in southern africa right now. let's focus on south africa. showers once again developing both for the west cape and the east cape temperatures will be around 19 or 20 degrees, but high temperatures for up into $29.00 degrees and wall to wall sunshine for you on thursday. that sure weather update. thanks for joining with this. once feared warlord during lay barriers, decade long civil war says he's now fighting a drug epidemic. the work that the former warlord joshua boy he has done with treat children, has attracted their help like senator b as protected in effect from public prosecution. despite the recommendations made by the truth and reconciliation, permission for this former warlord liberia has become the frontline of a drug war. it cannot afford to lose. he says it's

a battle he will fight out of responsibility and killed for his past crimes and for his country. mainstream coverage of big stories can sometimes deliver more heat than light in any war tar scenario. there's always a push to simplify. narrative nuances is always called for, even in the case of an aggressive war, the listening pe, delve into the news, narrative, and dissect them. there's not our great deal of subtlety. we're talking about the barbarism that is unfolding as though we somehow unique. it's not unique covering the way the news is covered on al jazeera. ah, russia says an explosion has seriously damaged monuments more ships. ukraine says
