for our 19 special my colleague chris covert takes a look at how fairly 1st vaccines will be distributed are. difficult you can always get the latest news and information around the clock on our website that's at the top cop us on social media at u.w.s. and by richard entering the whole team thanks for joining. the fight against the corona virus 10 damage. has the rate of infection been developing what does the latest research say. information and context the coronavirus update 19 special. on t w. children to come to this. one giant problem unless you get in on it to see the big.
4:16 am
divide it is a little deeper into do they really trying to get it. how will climate change affect us and our children was. w dot com slash water. the rollout of the colbert 19 vaccine is the moment to millions have been waiting for in the hope it will mean a return to normality. but many factors like some of the vaccines being difficult to store mean there is no guarantee they will be distributed fairly around the world. as people in rich countries such as britain get their 1st shots how can those in less developed areas get bears as well.
4:17 am
this is not his special here on w. i'm chris cobra welcome african countries have been faring much better in the pandemic then many experts have feared the spot and shoot outs for example about the impossibility of social distancing in communities where large families often share is single room but with the coronavirus vaccines are allowed to developing nations could now run into logistical financial and cultural roadblocks. the race for a call that 19 vaccine is almost over. 3 inoculation candidates are in the final stages of approval. and former announced of african scientist professor shelby i'm idea the road to a vaccine has been difficult. it's already been said 12 months since we 1st discovered the 5 is of course discovered banking and that once beat it what you've been able to achieve with sanctus is developed not one of the vaccines that they've
4:18 am
not been shown to be safe as well as to be effective in preventing cope with manky and that is a phenomenal achievement in the cent fit community to include at the monkeys 3 vaccines 2 of it seems that they actually being evaluated in south africa. south africa has bore the brunt of called in 1000 devastation on the african continent. at the beginning of december the country had officially recorded over 802000 infections and 22000 deaths infections are again rising amid worries of an imminent 2nd wave. and south africans taking part in vaccine trials are determined to play their part in fighting the pandemic. but it's one thing from the words he wanted them to know from getting i want to take part in this trial to prevent myself and others from getting corona that's what i want to change. but not all of the potential vaccines are suitable for the developing world
4:19 am
and wealthy nations stand at the front of the queue. for more benefits and at the time that this part of operation was speed is unlikely to go outside of the us in the foreseeable future and that the conditions of the us funding if it seems to fry the vaccine which needs to be stored at all for low temperatures minus 70 degrees celsius unfortunate there needs to be unlikely for that scene to be deployed in its current information in a country such as south africa so what's left behind is really the s.s.a. nicotine which is a vaccine. your theory can cut it in south africa because being the preferred candidate for immediate deployment in the country even if south africa can secure enough doses for its population of nearly 60000000 community work and still need to convince a skeptical public. the firm i'm scared of the state if it since there are 5 to know much more because you know all of us to be not there we are seeking in
4:20 am
different ways we want we don't need to tell us maybe out of the tell me how what i say. to the advocacy work is must also compete with the daily realities of one of the world's most unequal societies. with some of it is not one of the major issues they have to worry about they most of the time so worried about bread and butter issues but professor magdy remains resolute that south africa will lead africa's charge for a safe and sustainable solution to the global pandemic. he was going to finish or to today that food that's being accumulated. during the provide evidence to make an informed decision as to reject scenes so it's good for south african context that it's really up to the government to manage the process to ensure that such africa gains access to vaccines and its effect there for an appointment of fixin's in property government inefficiency as may mean mass rollout
4:21 am
will only be reached in 12 months time. for more let's bring in ruth faden she is the founder of the berman institute of bioethics at johns hopkins university and a member of the world health organization's kovan 1000 vaccines working group welcome to you where do you see the biggest challenges for a fair distribution of these vaccines the challenges are enormous at a global level and also within countries. the global challenges have to do with the fact that poor reasons we can. easily understand it's not completely defend wealthy countries of the world have made their primary commitment securing vaccines for their own population this has resulted in a state if it can't lock on supply for some vaccines for the forseeable future
4:22 am
countervailing. challenge is the existence of something called the kovacs facility which is a global commitment to provide vaccine to all peoples of the world what kovacs needs is more financial support from wealthy countries more money coming in to kodak's and also we need more wealthy countries who are not currently part of the kodaks collaboration to be at least thinking about an bilateral commitments to low and middle income countries also we need support for the world bank on that note the g. 20 nations recently said they will quote spare no effort in ensuring equitable access to proven vaccines how much is that commitment worth. well let's put it this way it's worth a whole lot more than the countries who are high income who have not yet begun that
4:23 am
kind of a pledge and i include in that the united states my own country so while of course we never know until we really see what happens what a pledge like that from a group of wealthy countries is actually worth i have to applaud this collection of countries the european countries for even making that commitment now we see the biotech fires are vaccine being rolled out in several countries the latest being the united states we need we know it needs to be stored at extremely low temperatures now doesn't a prerequisite like that in itself hamper a fair and equitable distribution absolutely this is a better day in the united states very 1st people will be receiving the pfizer back prize or biotech bechstein today in the us but it is not a vaccine that is just part of the solution to global equity at least not in its current form elations so if you were to grade that accident right now in terms of
4:24 am
the likelihood that it will contribute to global equity it would get at a poor mark reformulations perhaps otherwise but right now we have to look to other bechstein types to address the needs of people living in low and middle income countries as until workers and senior citizens are among the 1st to be vaccinated from an ethical point of view is that the right thing to do. it's an important framing and it is as defensible as that we can think of the problem comes with the competing interpretations of equity there are at issues in the world and there are profound background in equities preexisting in the copulation with respect to health and well being so if you think about countries like the us or britain or south africa or pretty much many country more broadly and those
4:25 am
inequities are reflecting themselves in disproportionate burden of the pandemic now so the challenge from an equity point of view is to how to use to make sure that your prior to the station strategy addresses these gaps. rif adan of the berman institute of bioethics at johns hopkins university and a member of the world health organization's kovan 1000 vaccines working group thank you for your thoughts. my pleasure. and now it is over to our resident coronavirus experts to w. science correspondent derrick williams answering your questions about the pandemic . if a vaccine is not 100 percent effective can you still catch the virus after vaccination. first of all no vaccine that we've developed for any diseases ever provided perfect protection to everyone although although
4:26 am
a few like those for measles or for polio come very close but because every person's immune system is different in some people exposed to sars cove to the new vaccines will not stop the corona virus in its tracks trials in healthy volunteers indicate however that the candidates now being authorized for use in countries around the world are highly effective at doing so in most people it's kind of complicated but a simplified way of quantifying the efficacy demonstrated in trials would be to say that if you haven't been vaccinated you're around 9 times more likely to contract symptoms of covert 19 after an exposure then you would be if you got the shot so it drastically reduces that possibility. but what's really interesting is that for a return to something like normal vaccines don't actually have to prevent copd 19
4:27 am
in every one if they can just stop the disease in many or most people and that's half the battle especially if they also limit its spread so if they keep most vaccinated people from transmitting the virus to others for every person that can catch the virus and then subsequently give it to someone else one step closer to herd immunity as the virus finds fewer and fewer unprotected hosts that will slow the speed of the pandemic and eventually stop it and there's another possible upside which is that even if getting a vaccine isn't an ironclad guarantee that you won't get covert 9000 later there are at least some indicators that if you do the vaccine could limit its severity so you might then very well have milder symptoms.
4:28 am

army had been happening long before the genocide. and this is where they were. at the beginning of april maybe maybe 2 this is then killing a family in the streets. and you know still kicking them after shooting them where you see the desperate place of. willing to fail i. after the breakup of yugoslavia bosnian serb nationalists waged a war of utter hatred on their muslim neighbors they shot raped and stopped them as was the tactic of the s.t.g. combat troops known as arkan's tigers their goal was to create an ethnically cleansed a greater serbia. on facebook you can find more videos with the 1st 25 years after the genocide there are large gaps in the knowledge of what really
4:39 am

their the responsibility of the international finance am in failing to not just go to stop to fulfill her but also to save lives. the bosnian serb aggressors separated women and their children from all male refugees over the age of 15. they transported the young men to hidden places where they were systematically murdered. their own camera teams filmed the executions which were later denied by many who were politically responsible such as rad of encourage each .

4:47 am
not to record the. people die the stories will die with them and this is why it is very important to be required every survivor and if we can. go to some of. the most. i like the way you've done this how you can see the photos behind her. husband was captured and made by the bulls in sort of marmion to call their son's name to the forest and your loved one's name. there. are some of those. you know imagine situation any father having to call a son to death and it became
