that everyone welcomes me nowadays and that is thanks to our beloved football that's 80 years of age pele continues to be one of brazil's most enduring figures. happy birthday mr stick around my colleague and we'll have your business headlines a coming to break up in just a moment. thanks for spending time with us. it was the 1st international tribunal in history. the number of trials. 75 years ago a high ranking officers of the nazi regime good morning judging by the allied forces. were the 1st war criminals to be held accountable for their crimes for.

the measure by to count them on. going through dollars pair new year's brochure. our 2 part series the 3rd reich dog starts nov 12th on d w. who will get the job. as pharmaceutical companies around the world race to come up with a covert 19 vaccine fears are growing that africa is most vulnerable might be lost on the list. also coming up driving their sorrows that african wine growers are struggling to get back on their fees after a long alcohol bonnet your unlocked at. our back in the sky and you coronavirus testing out the end tickets were to be air passengers peace of mind.

is that they don't mean business. ferguson thanks for joining me the african export import bank says it will be investing up to $5000000000.00 in a covert 19 vaccine for african countries the news reported by their voices news agency comes of cold grow for african countries to be more proactive in ensuring access to a vaccine but aside from production major challenges including supply chain issues and infrastructure will still need to be worked out. in reports. a clinic on the outskirts of the kenya fast as capital like to do to it's the final stop for a vaccine that's traveled from a factory half a world away now it needs to be stored correctly most inoculations are only usable if kept cold and that will be one challenge in delivering a future covert $1000.00 vaccine to developing countries. globally the likes of

d.h.l. and u.p.s. have ramped up spending on their global cold supply chain but in africa the infrastructure is just not there especially in rural areas which could be lacking electricity altogether. we have problems of storage capacity for vaccine goods we have a lack of refrigerators. so today we had to vaccinate against the coronavirus for example we need a lot more refrigerators to keep the vaccines you know. we don't have these fridges . the next challenge is over pricing pressure is building up to make a future vaccine patent free to guarantee its affordability typically pharmaceutical firms enjoy a monopoly on vaccines they produce allowing them to set prices as a result diseases which have long been wiped out in rich regions like europe continue to exist elsewhere. you know. in the past we've seen and

continue to see that in poorer countries people are less likely to be inoculated in crisis regions like the d.l. seen more people died of mules last year than of ebola and that has to do with the lack of vaccinations flu mentioned. the world health organization hopes to ensure this doesn't happen with covert 19 the new kovacs program was set up to deliver 2000000000 doses of vaccine around the world by the end of next year by investing in numerous faxing candidates it hopes to stir up healthy competition among suppliers over $180.00 countries have joined the initiative including china india and germany. the most important piece is really increasing the number of votes is that a successful because the market has always been defined by the multiple number of players who are in the market in the meantime the people who are urgently

waiting for these vaccines hope the developed countries and companies will show some solidarity. that's bring in edwin a korea from the one campaign against poverty he is joining us now from lagos nigeria hi edwin tell me what is done it to ensure that the world's poorest countries get access to this vaccine. i don't know what is called boxing multilateralism basically went all over every country in the world come together to see this as a global challenge that needs a global solution and so the coast isolated that joyce 'd lead in on you know is one of the major you know a venue to get vaccines to everybody you know around the world so that. facsimile literalism and then the price in to ensure that the pricing is is good enough to allow poorer countries to be able to purchase without necessarily killing their budget especially knowing that there's a lot of physical challenges currently in many african countries for instance so

how cheap the vaccine comes out is also one of the major determinant you know of how of access to these dark since you mention multi-lateralism there what kind of cooperation are you seeing within africa when it comes to protestant and stripy if faxing. so 1st of all there is a there's a box in strategy that other below by the african city seat that is also currently getting support from across the african all african countries then there is the many many african countries already popped of the kovacs facility then of course there is the lot of training that is going on to ensure that 7 african countries are learning from the other yes who have had successful in medicine programs like nigeria for instance how does a just successfully 11 injured polio you know and the infrastructure for the. nation is one way that all that idea or that africa is a lead in from so how conscious are currently corporate in transferring knowledge

on how they look just ticks or bucks in distribution access into remote areas is happening and that is one area currently that you're seeing a lot of corporation with in the african continent and of course the africa relief fund is already set up and countries already putting money into that could really fund that itself could be a way to distribute that would help create the necessary training and capacity to distribute vaccines when it becomes available and i've also been called on the world trade organization to put people before pay tends to tell me more about that . i think that the biggest goal here is that you know instead of allowing this is that of the allowing you know a message a company to set a price is the idea is how do you reduce how do you remove you know create a space for generic production so that our countries will have the capacity to manufacture in it we did in the poorer countries can do so or they can have these agreements you know with musical companies we you know successful back same kind of

dates you know to be able to get a generic version and then they can produce on their own instead of you know imports and all of that licensing and all of the sort of what we call the common license that is that is going to be an advocate for so if that agreement is. if the space is create said for countries to be able to have access of gender reproduction that itself would help increase access to vaccines in poor countries access so desperately need it edwin and korea thanks so much thank you so much for having me to south africa now where wine producers have been having an especially tough time trying to pandemic the country's lockdown included a ban on alcohol sales with the government maintaining that consumption is linked to violent crime road accidents and other medical emergencies which could use up resources needed for virus patients alcohol sales remain strictly evacuation. alcohol sales in south africa will completely turn to no new weeks because of the

pandemic. and one exports well to true 5 weeks the huge impact on the entire industry south africa exports more than 3000000 liters of wine but that accounts for less than half of the total sales. to domestic sales plan has left vineyards like this one not far from cape town reeling we have about $85.00 per minute soft members. and. we've been paying them full salary especially the lower levels we've been paying fool fool wages but to the senior levels we had to reduce salaries. so in 10 or all of we try to sort of absorb the blow and and. you know not to not to transfer the full effect of it onto our people but it's a situation which is triggered job losses elsewhere and there are likely to be more

on the cards and it's not just those who work in the vineyards and wineries directly who'll be affected. the impact will certainly be felt throughout the value chain add to this of course the wind turbines and elements hospitality sector that is impacted by this local ban on sales and the fact that no wine or alcohol may be sold in the on trade and then the the manufacturing lines the packaging companies the labeling companies the bottling companies so that because one makers say 2020 should be an exceptional vintage that would normally be cause for celebration but this year they're worried about their survival. now to some of the other global business stories making news. cuba has accused the united states of taking advantage of the pandemic to intensify its blockade against the
