hello, i'm down jordan in dough with a quick reminder of the top stories here on al jazeera, china has lifted pandemic restrictions on foreign travel after almost 3 years. quarantine is no longer required for inbound travellers at several countries demanding pre departure. cobra, 1900 tests for people heading abroad. it follows a surgeon cases in china and recent weeks after the government abandoned its strict 0 policy. katrina, you has more from beijing around 20 countries have added a screening requirements to any passengers coming from china. most recently, port golden, the netherlands, have joined the u. s. the u. k. and canada, for example, in requiring this and because of that exits, are predicting that countries in south east asia, we have not impose any research and that they will be the main beneficiaries of chinese tourism in the next few weeks and months. but we have to remember that

china has really been angry about these can be placed on chinese travelers. they've called it political unscientific. while the lifting of restrictions coincides with the start of the lunar new year travel rush, china's health ministry says it's concerned about the virus spreading as people gather for celebration with me and i haven't had it 19 yet. so if my relatives are positive, i'm afraid of carrying the bar respect with me and infecting them, that would affect the health, but they have recovered from the virus for a while now. so i'm planning to visit them and spend a litany with them. my grandparents have also told me many times that i miss me a lot doesn't go to the. everyone in my family is having symptoms like fever and cough due to the reopening the cove at 19 positive, they've all been infected, but it's not a big deal. there might be some coughing still, but it's not affecting the elderly greatly. iran facing international condemnation offered hanging to men accused of killing a member of

a paramilitary force in november. i'm going to stay international says bo convictions relied on forced confessions. you says it's a poor, a u. s. is demanding an end to what it calls sham trials. rushes unilateral, 36 our sci fi and ukraine for orthodox christmas has ended. he did not agreed to the truce and said russia continued attacks to accuse moscow of trying to use the situation to re position its troops. artillery fire could be clearly heard in the frontline town of black mood, which has been abandoned by most of its residents. ukrainian president vladimir zalinski says it came from russian positions he daresha suits. you wouldn't have gotten his meal. by the way, once again the world has seen how deceptive any statement at any level coming from moscow is they were saying something about the supposed cease fire. the reality however, was that russian shells once again hit back boot and all the ukranian positions, or hundreds of protest as a march through the us border city of el paso in texas. had a visit on sunday by president biden, comes days after he announced measures to reduce

a surgeon arrivals at the southern border. they include the deportation up to $30000.00 migrants and refugees every month from cuba, the corolla, haiti, and venezuela. in buffalo to get not all of us bad people and most of us came here to find a future for our children. now, all of us came here to do bad things. i'm a family man and i came here to work and provide a better future for my daughters. aliya and dozens of venezuelan migrants have already been deported to mexico. under the biden administration's new policy, mexican authorities say a 100 people who had crossed the border were sent back to the city of horace on friday, slamming president, gustavo petra made a surprise visit to caracas to meet with his venezuelan counterpart. nicholas madura is the latest sign of warming relations between the 2 countries and comes just days after an important border crossing reopened. ties were cut 4 years ago. after columbia's previous government refused to acknowledge madura disputed 2018 election, went to subway. trains had collided in mexico city, killing one person,

at least 57 others were injured. you notice the cruise rescued for people trapped in one carriage mexico's capital. i seen several accidents on its metro in recent years. 46 soldiers from ivory coast accused by marly of being mercenaries have returned home. the group was pardoned on friday, 6 months of being detained. i reco says the soldiers were part of a united nations peacekeeping mission in molly, the arrest? barked a diplomatic dispute between the 2 countries. those are the headlines and news continues here now to 0 after ton of pandemic statement. pencil watch, bye for now. with . ready presently, we are being confronted by a new series of pathogens that are emerging out of the deep force.

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 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 of disease despite so many breakthroughs in modern medicine. we find ourselves living under the shadow of pandemic. so we struggle to contain we have destroyed our by that we have harmed the plant and the planet will eat. so at our expense at the expense of these global markets, 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, 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 health 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, every one can have access to the medicine they need. as i said, we learned this the hard way an ugly after a lot of unnecessary suffering. there is now a danger that has become a threat to us all. 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 o v. through this kind of messaging, the implication was, if you become infected, you only have yourself to blame 2. 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, patient parent, alex, and whom affiliate or we were told, the virus originated in as 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. people can fix the subject matter if so. i've seen 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 aids epidemic. god normally, wherever gonzales 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. so when you ask, what does h i v was aids questioning. does a virus cause and syndrome?

how does a virus cause a syndrome? it's gone, ah, in the 19 ninety's 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 near 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 anything in his power never to allow them to be used in south africa, yet more to than 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 a 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 was raped could access allergies, 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 the power of the people through the treatment action campaign to make a our re, treatment is 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 a tri. denise face is

deborah staking from maloof and community or wyoming and deprecating health care services. and robin school. oh, you're good and do change. in the course of a few years, the treatment action campaign i did by former president nelson mandela, and sure 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 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 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 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 cause you see a peasant changing to a skeleton uses me so scary. so yeah, i h o v. i don't know when i'm

a good i was good. it was, it was me, me, me. i hope this by having one of the largest android volatile 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 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, of course for the ha, how do you owe us health? 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. i 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 prevented. 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 heads up this vast organization that is publicly funded for the us government. vaccines had been left to the development by pharmaceutical company, bailey essence, with the side,

what vaccines they were going to investigate. and the reality is, is that that often is a balance between their perceived market and societal need bigger trouble. in h i v, it 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 wanda 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. ivy'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 c o, one 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 satellite from the time

and when that was done, several apps found and were actually able to make in the lab protein the anybody protein that was able to kill block each very potent 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 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 in their 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. the sharing research could contain a deadly pandemic. in 2020 this put us in a prime position to collaborate in numerous international coverage. faxing travels with to have kids involved in a whole lot of covet vaccine opportunities in terms of thing 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 ivy, it was very difficult to isolate an antibody from person in 20192020. we could 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 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 vixen and fraud from 3 of the reading 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 is 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 chain for decades . he's been behind all the key interventions that have prevented outbreaks from becoming global pandemic. abolla zacko sauce. you name it, but his life's work. his passion has sent his around h. r. v. in, 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. there is no channel that covers world news like we do, we revisit places the state i'll deserve really invest in that. and that's a privilege as a journalist, hulu, with him. after a lifetime in finland, an immigrant returns to somali land upon discovering his ancestral home could be a gold mine. but to benefit his community from the minerals beneath the land,

he must navigate the age old, tribal disputes above it. mm. witness. golden light on al jazeera, there in the desert, outside of downtown doha, there isn't a football to be seen. there is though, a wealth cup taking place in want of capsule. it's oldness, i most unique sports, the camels here i'll region by robot jockeys who are controlled by their own us. we ride alongside them during the race. it's racing in the 21st century. and it's bringing in the tourists that we have seen a large number of fever fans come in here to enjoy the race. and we're doing our best to introduce them to our traditions and culture. there are 28 trophies, stay on the top royce. over a $1000000.00 on a golden sword. ah,

hello, i'm darned, jordan and doe, the top stories here on al jazeera, china has lifted pandemic restrictions on foreign travel up to almost 3 years. quarantines no longer required for inbound travelers, but several countries are demanding pre departure. cobit 19 cash. so people heading abroad. it follows a surgeon cases in china and recent weeks after the government abandoned its strict 0 coverage policy. katrina, you as more from beijing around 20 countries have added a screening requirements to any passengers coming from china and most recently ports, golden, the netherlands have joined the u. s. the u. k. and canada, for example, in requiring this and because of that, experts are predicting that countries in south east asia who have not imposed any restrictions that they will be the main beneficiaries of chinese tourism in the next few weeks and months. but we have to remember that china has really been angry

about these restrictions being placed on chinese travelers. they've called it political unscientific, rams facing international condemnation, northrop hang, 2 men accused of killing a member of a power military force. in november, amnesty international says both convictions relied on forced confessions. the you says it's a pulled on the u. s. is demanding an end to what it calls sham trials. russia's unilateral 36, our see sign ukraine for orthodox christmas has ended. keith did not agree to the truth and said, russia continued its attacks. it's accused moscow trying to use the situation to reposition its fruits. hundreds of protest as of march through the u. s. border city of el paso in texas had a visit on sunday by president biden. it comes just days after he announced measures to reduce a surgeon, arrivals at the southern border. they include the deportation of up to $30000.00 migrants and refugees every month from cuba, nicaragua, haiti, and venezuela. to subway trains of collided in mexico city,

killing one person at least 57 others were injured. emergency crews rescued. 4 people trapped and one carriage, mexico's capital has seen several accidents on its metro in recent years. 46 soldiers, some ivory coast accused. by marly of being mercenaries have returned home. the group was pardoned on friday, 6 months after being detained, ivory coast, as the soldiers are part of a united nations peacekeeping mission and marley. the arrest bought that diplomatic space between 2 countries. those are the headlines and he's continues here now to 0 after time upon them next stage. and thanks for watching i for now, once my social workers pay, michelle nie visited her. michelle is a single mother struggling to get by on a meager income in one of the world's most expensive cities. she can barely afford the basics for her and up to stick daughter since the start of the coven 19 pandemic. there's been a big rise and people seeking relief for charity work as it's been particularly

demanding. 28 percent of social workers quit bed jobs in the last year. many of them left the city altogether with strict and them, and cuts and political uncertainty many rely on their help. find it difficult to get the support they need. ah, 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 coven, 19 human societies have long faced the threats of disease. and despite so many breakthroughs in motor medicine, we find ourselves living under the shadow of pandemic that we struggle to contain. 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, a bona zacko sauce, you name it, but his life's work. his passion has centered around h. r. v. want to this, wanted to that, wanted you to that want to do that you have to play on 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 was, you know, the natural infection doesn't reduce the good immune response. so you gotta do better with ha.

now managing sam wasn't killing sommerling, his attorney madison. hi guys. flow. by monday, the 2 mill companies go appear, know a man mother whom window shall pile as on for no said his aquanda moon is been language when our soul delorenzo telemedicine. and then given, i know if i lose some coverage is of a positive for me. i was telling you, boy, hey, what then we didn't a my in the q i known as tucson would have to come, leave it up to you just if visit i would allocating or i would say about it had so total perform when i know how much i was witness to san angelo mckesson sub what day and was killing pierre on your 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 that protects you. as an empowerment tool, with the thought in mind that covered an h i v are 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 we're 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. b, patrice han and her group in 2006, we're able to identify 2 chimp populations in southeastern cameron that were hosting simian immune deficiency viruses that were the closest related to h. i. p one, a group of that follow 2 years layer led by michael ruby 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 bad. 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, they will probably individual jumps of virus from chips 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 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 god doing trucking. they stay away from home. just the normal practices of your society, lead to the spread of infectious disease. ah,

st plan torry lance can be shifted upon colbert 19. 31 emerge in 2002. it came out of bats 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, a landscape, increase the spill over events into all sorts of other species that are suddenly finding themselves being sold at market. ah, planted earth is better known 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, the broader global reticle economy. that was in fact, driving the emergence of these new pathogen we began to look at what are call circuits of capital, how 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 a lifestyle and humans with . and then one day, a virus jumps from a bat to another animal to a human. and then now it's not sexual practice. were 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 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 house

but sheila, viruses density, the fuel virus is close. interpersonal contact people who live in high density. so these disparities brought out 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 a, an extraordinary disparity. where is african americans and latinos, x and asian americans. their infection rate and depth rate is enormously higher. ah. so when you broaching a disease, you need to understand if you don't understand it, you're not gonna get your arms around the disease. well, for many ross, particularly if you're black and poor,

he doesn't matter if you're in the global shops or living in a wealthy nation, you're hanging on to life by a fright. then these pandemic come along, covered a chart v and the odds against you to stack up ah mm, yeah with how do we manage an epidemic when we have no support for the pura 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 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 as a lost fortress against pandemic, watts at burton. and in the united states, the pioneer privatization cove, it is showing how deadly days to come, modify the social right to house the u. s. was now prepared for this pandemic, it had in effect, abandoned of public health of the cove at 19 outbreak. show this in open 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 and from on the other. ah, when i catch up with tony found chin, he remains diplomatic about the deep riffs that fold 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, 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. mm. mm. mm mm. oh, oh, can you tell me i changed the h r v vaccine to get where it is, but was covered when 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. i the in 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. my pass a transmittal in. definitely worth the investment.

particularly among women in south africa who are as 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. and i'm going to show you the results, the 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 dead were cookies. sarah, they would say, is that the g a positive, a positive result?

very happy is an amazing, amazing. well, this is the legacy to your parents. okay. so by volunteering in that he 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? who's a vaccine get to the people who need it? or like covered, will peyton'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 solidarity at the beginning of this pandemic. but at the same time rich countries, what already buying up supplies, what we call the advanced market commitment, 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 wells potential supply of vaccine. this current 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. generally, when it comes to other vaccines that their premium to use into public immunization programs against life threatening diseases, they can, 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 had not received them and we lost 10000000 people. is the old movie again. we have no access to vaccines. and 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 they paid on in h i v aids. if you rely on charity, and if you rely only on the benevolence of the pharmaceutical industry, you won't secure nothing. and in 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 parents are 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 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 $500000.00 vaccines into south africa that would work against the varied dominant at the time. i'm beginning to overwhelm our hospitals. long, long, long, long day, and long a long, 14 days. city rebels, vaccinate half a 1000000 healthy 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? 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 throughout africa. we have seen that wherever h i v became endemic. so do 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 world. the patents prevented people getting h i v medicine were 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's 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 so 20 years ago with h i v drugs to water society learned from this time offender mics 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 self 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 put people 1st? fellow the weather's pretty, a wet across much of the middle east at the moment, including here, the cats are, you can see that a long line of cloud that's been bringing some heavy down. pause, little localized flooding across central parts to saudi arabia, through gutter, on the side of the gulf, pushing across into where ran a western disturbance dis, just gathering up towards the afghanistan, missing some snow there that will make its way across northern parts of afghanistan to push on towards pakistan, scattering a showers around the caspian sea, just running back to was that east side of the mediterranean. and there still, there's go on 3, monday by monday where to where the may will make his way across iraq through q wait, mother, mary's a saudi arabia. i think we should be in the clear hair and cut out by that stage

doha, around 20 degrees celsius. with some present spells of sunshine, sunshine, his shout me while across northern parts of africa we got some wanted to shout just around the coastal fringes of libya and northern areas of our egypt as well. west africa generally drive it along the coast again. here we might just see one or 2 showers, but real heavy showers, they are coast draped across the tropics, more very heavy rain there into the democratic republic of congo, just around the rift valley, more showers of zimbabwe, and also for mozambique. ah, talk to l, just a somehow abandoned by the international community. we listen, we have a huge price for the rural. i'm gonna turn what's going on. so money we meet with global news making. i'm talk about the stories that one out. you see

a new generation of young people are more politically engaged than the one that came before. welcome to generation change a global feelings and attempts to challenge and understand the ideas that mobilize you around to work. in south africa, it's women who are at the forefront as the local racial. you must never ever get tired of developing resistance strategies, and they're just ignite. the passion to stand up and fight generation chains on al jazeera. the latest news as it breaks this particular sub station. it's been in 3 separate effects. why fix russian they saw with detailed coverage. they had hoped that the u. s. would relax order a pandemic restrictions this week, which would likely have better there are to getting in from around the world over 3000000 people to talk to the 3. and one of sites go to work for you. and then next week i'm the national in.
