dot com follow us on twitter and instagram at news i've told me on a lot of books exchanging and. passionate drama competition rival marketing numbers that was here by that time and childish 8. 1000000 as the fans run the files and in fact the only. source. to call on you to join us

is going to tell my managers to not go to day nothing would change you know the banks pay you try and so watch the language of the bank. speaking the truth global news that matters g.w. made 4 minds. there's this deed of news africa coming up on the program oscoda 19 vaccine trials go into full swing to in south africa many are skeptical but we meet each volunteer to us welcome day it's what open up. the brutal mad out of 6 french aid workers on 2 local guides and exact his habit rep a caution to the west africa country and. these young telephones going to kenya need to be taking care of but there's just not enough money to feed our.

protect the beauty of covert 19 and. i eddie mike a junior your welcome to the program as the current of virus pandemic rages on over 1000 vaccines being tested on people all around the world but these protests in johannesburg south africa i'm not having it they are concerned about the possible effects to people. continue in the country however are committed to helping find a vaccine are possible. we are not guinea pigs say these demonstrators in johannesburg they're protesting kovi 19 vaccine tests. around the world the search for a vaccine is on but here many people are skeptical goes against all protocols

and even if people are going to. think it's a home. and has volunteered for the study. doctors explained that the vaccine proved harmless in animal tests but there is always an element of risk. total of 2000 people will be testing the vaccine which was developed in angle and samantha is getting a 15 year old expense allowance but the money is not why he's here. so many people all over the world have died that's why i'm taking part also because i hope to protect myself with a vaccine. so we don't get why this is. the risk of infection continues to rise here 1000 patients are treated in tents this is

the only way some south african hospitals can cope with the dramatically increasing number of infections we know in parts of the brain. that are going to be. working. this is why the vaccine is being tested here in the johannesburg township of soweto as well as in other places too mandy lives in soweto but many of his neighbors are baffled by his participation in the trials. but says mom they can't understand all the excitement after all he says the vaccine is also being tested in brazil and anglo and he wants his family to also take part in the study. so joining me now is a professor kerry south africa an epidemiologist and infectious diseases specialist

here is also south africa's chief advisor to the cobra 19 a response team that was like are in fact for joining us before we delve into the issue of vaccines that 1st tell us we know that south africa is the way as his country on the continent how is it coping with the pandemic. i think we're if you know saw 1st case back in march we were anticipating it are rapidly increasing cases but we didn't see that because of some of the early actions that were taken so we haven't delayed it epidemic and the delay was about 6 to 8 weeks so they have us an opportunity to be better prepared in a bully field hospitals and surely we have adequate stocks so you know the different drivers newts aren't like dexamethasone and so we haven't really seen the same kind of death rate that we're seeing in europe and i think partially it's we have a younger population but also because we didn't have the same overwhelming response

from the epidemic and so i think overall that cases are higher than we expected but that did so are lower than we expected. talking about response now let's talk about the vaccine trials countries around the world are testing cover 19 vaccines and our own people who volunteer so why are many skeptical and south africa when we look at vaccines you know we as a country have been involved in testing many different maps it's against you know various bacterial infections of course an ammonia ha ve and so on so we have a very rich history in a substantial interest structure to test vaccines but we also have an anti vaccine movement and that's not an offshoot of what you see in the u.s. and other places the smaller vocal minority but out there really as sort of this

group that you know we don't really takes it is stand it don't really impact on our ability to do a vaccine research and backs in trials what is the consent o. . i think the main concern is that vaccines are harmful and shouldn't be tested in in our country and there we should not be involved in doing any of these tests which you know makes no sense if we want to be subpoenaed of vaccines we have to know that they work in our country and so it's very important that south africa participate in backs in trials and that south africa be part and parcel of the global effort to realize safe and effective coronavirus vaccine. now professor evers vaccine as successful one also africans have equal access to it. so at this stage

there are several vaccines being studied in in africa the rest of the world with regard to access once a vaccine is shown to work the issue of access will become quite important we'll not think that it's going to be feasible to make many billions of doses in of a short space of time so the supply we expect will take a long time perhaps a year 2 years 3 years for us to ensure we get adequate supplies to bassinet everybody so that means we're going to have to prioritize and in a place like south africa the highest priorities will be the elderly health care workers and those who co-morbidities because they suffer the most serious consequences of this kind of a virus infection and so should be prioritized and then as

a more vaccines become available than other groups can then be parents has ok professor salim of the caring south african epidemiologist on the officials diseases specialist thank you for your time. let's head to west africa now the government has extended its state of emergency after so expect a terrorist killed 8 people 6 french humanitarian workers along with a guide and driver was shot dead on sunday while on a visit to a nastar reserve in the area. by french have launched the search for the killer. set on fire and riddled with bullets. this is the vehicle that the aid workers and their guards were traveling in when they were set upon. investigations at the scene said the attackers shot dead 7 of

the victims one woman apparently tried to escape to court and then also killed. the head of one ngo she was appalled and shocked by what had happened. i would like to tell you that's all off thoughts obviously with the families of the victims and our teams. this is an absolutely unprecedented tragedy this is a couple act which is revolting. the aid workers have been planning to visit a giraffe or is a about one i was drive from the capital. what has taken many aback is that this is an area that up to now had been considered relatively safe. in a region plagued by jihadist violence. france a former colonial power has deployed more than $5000.00 troops in there's a hill to try to combat the terrorist threat. it's still unclear who carried out

this attack. analysts say it bears the hallmarks of islamic state the authorities in about to do everything in their power to apprehend the perpetrators and. the much has also been referred to the courts so edge additional inquiry has been opened and we're doing everything we can at any rate to mobilize all the defense and security forces in order to find these criminals and of course bring them to justice. it would be if you don't remit to them and largest. basically the. forces in the genre now have their work cut out trying to track down the perpetrators of this horrific crime so what happens when there's not enough money to fund conservation projects when 19 disrupts tourism. one wildlife trust in kenya struggling to feed

a growing number of orphaned elephants it's looking after. feeding time for these baby elephants but as they're orphaned there's no mother's milk. instead they rely on simmons from the sheldrick wildlife trust to look after them $400.00 humans in fact including 70 keepers as well as vets and anti preaching units but with no money from tourists coming to visit kenya it's becoming more difficult to cover the costs. we are lucky we have all your. good. peers because coming in so that is a big worry. to corona crisis has also brought on the dangers food shortages have resulted in an increase in illegal hunting sadly we are seeing an

increase in their legal activities including bush meat and methods such as using wire discriminate amongst the species they target so endangered animals such as elephants the babies behind me and giraffes can get caught in the fray and this is due to courbet 19 and the economic hardships that communities living alongside protected areas of facing. it's not all bad news for these creatures. a ban on trade in ivory projects in countries like china has meant the demand for elephant tusks is falling. but until tourists return to kenya the future for these baby elephants and their human cameras will remain uncertain. and. that's it for now remember to check out other stories on did dot com slash africa or on facebook on twitter today we leave you with some more pictures of
