did you know that 700000000000 land animals are killed worldwide but it's not just the animals little suffering it's the environment if you want to go away flick to the priest and the huntress changed as we think is listen to our podcast on the green and. this is the w's aisha coming up today concerns on it's there was largest covert 19 vaccination drive. questions arise in india about the efficacy of a nuclear developed vaccine goes ahead with immunize in frontline temp care workers . and what is the government doing about them plus. i guess it's the world's 1st cohort of viruses locked out trying to have much of a couple for the rest of the world weeks what impact has that had on its president .

ibish commentary welcome to deduct good news isha tragical join us it's been 7 days since india launched what's been called the world's biggest corporate 19 immunization drive a drive that aims to target some 30000000 frontline health care workers in its 1st phase so far even though we're looking over $1000000.00 have already been vaccinated it is below expected targets a key reason for that is set to be vaccine hesitancy now that's being excuse scribed primarily to the lack of if you can see data about a locally developed vaccine called vaccine now despite the concerns many health care workers are relieved that there is a feast some light at the end of the covert tunnel. put 37 year old.

it's a big day today she's going to get her 4th of the corporate 1000 vaccine. giteau has been working as a nurse at a private hospital in delhi put 3 years and has been a health worker for over 20 years now as a health worker during the pandemic she has been worried about the safety of her family against the virus. i have to take care to leave it there are little children in our family and i was concerned about the health i had to stay in a separate room keep my clothes and shoes separately maintain proper hygiene constantly used sanitizers i had to take care of the smallest things maybe. deter is one of the 1st in line in the country to receive the vaccine for the widest. india is in the middle of what is being called the world's largest covered 19 immunization program. in the 1st round of the vaccine rollout the government aims to vaccinate about 30000000 health workers and other frontline workers. to vaccine

so far have been given images the use approved by the country's drug authority the oxford astra zeneca called the she live in india and vaccine and indigenous vaccine developed by part of biotech. but as the country takes a crucial step towards battling the pandemic many concerns loom large there are questions being very uncool vaccine getting approval from internet targeting without its efficacy data in place as its 50 trials are still underway some experts say that this is a break from established protocol and could lead to a best trust among people who however there's no clear consensus on this issue in the medical community dr get in there as john a leading that's knowledge it says the approval to call the action has been given relying on the data of immunogenicity and safety. he says such image and see government approvals are not uncommon in unusual circumstances since our masses

and masses have. to accept. to come in the transporter community should them. and communication confusing to people even though there are actual voices regarding the image and see approval many working in the health care sector are confident that vaccination is the right step to take we are in that time frame where the numbers are going to be very imperative that if we can vaccinate as many people as possible it would be able to ever be polled believe i'm feeling good after getting the vaccine. everybody read for their dawn and definitely get vaccinated. this is a highly contagious disease so it was important for the vaccination to start. is now almost to the man be treated the minute observation period force works in the

nation she said she has started feeling more secure against the corona virus and is eagerly awaiting the 2nd dose. for more i'm joined now by molly i so she's a public health professional and she also works with the all india drug action network welcome as i saw it's been a week now since india rolled out its vaccination program how has it gone so far. so it's certainly been a beautiful new did stuck to the backs of the nation because of the has it been seen sean by the health care workers who as you know are supposed to receive the vaccine in the 1st phase reports are coming in from all parts of the country about the what don't know but then was expected and one of the 2 acting in part of biotech school vaccine was approved a before the efficacy data would have been a bit and this may be one of the fact it was affecting the willingness of people to get vaccinated but india has big dogs nonetheless something like 50000000 health

care workers in phase one of this rollout what is the government doing to try and relieve these concerns. so we understand that the government is doing its they best in terms of public messaging to encourage the hope that will cause to take the vaccines but there are some limitations for example the messaging has focused on the scene of the vaccines rather than the one that i think you see now with any vaccination that are going to be some adverse events are going forward in following immunization in india they have been around i have dates to now of individuals to be received a vaccine in one area where the government can improve its messaging is to put out the procedure through which any adverse event or any of the debt is investigated and also sharing information transparently to god in each of the cases that have happened so far and leaving this would be important not only people with building confidence but also countering any sort of misinformation that may be so keen to

just help us understand as us will know how exactly are people getting vaccinated in india i mean i was going to parents of the government is deciding who gets to jobs is it possible the people who want to get vaccinated can just walk into a vaccination center and get the job. no soul vaccination is taking place in a field man our government has identified try ordered to groups and they are being offered the vaccine in a certain ordeal so right now we are starting with 0 at the end of the in health get well good we'll get the vaccine followed following that there will be vaccine all for 20000000 frontline goods and thereafter there will be about 270000000 people even above the age of 50 your those who have comorbidity use of the plan in the initial phase the vaccination is to inoculate approximately 300000000 people which as we know is

a huge task but that's what the government has embarked upon is there any error plan to make this vaccine available in the private medical sector given that india has a huge private medical sector people who can afford to pay for medicines or vaccines they can get themselves vaccinated to gender. so the government has not granted any such permission for private seniors and there are good reasons for it the supplies of the vaccine are currently limited and the government is following the principle of vaccinating the priority populations and butter of the earth puts so at this stage it's really not unreasonable that the government is controlling the supply and the distribution of vaccine there is of course one company the sort of institute which is very keen on selling go back scene for putting it up for private sale at a premium price and this so far has not been agreed upon of course this could also create equity issuance so we're not it's not available and. relieve

their for the time if i do so much for joining us money isola thank you. saturday is the anniversary of the world's 1st lockdown in china authorities locked down the city. where the virus is thought to have originated and the surrounding home province as the death toll skyrocketed roughly 11000000 people remained in lockdown for nearly 11 weeks it worked the number of cases dropped significantly since then china has continued to fight localized outbreaks at moss testing and lock downs just saw on how. a city of more than 10000000 people locked down main thoroughfares shut traffic diverted except for a bare essential oils nothing and no one allowed out or in the market believed to

and today is a very different place back to a new normal with people out on the streets and going about their businesses we asked 400 and how life has changed since unlocked oh geez you're going to. show what our whole country has put a lot of effort into fighting the pandemic another of especially here in the world talks like shutting down a whole city affects people's lives a lot and who handed it that's great to deal with because. it's fantastic that will happen has recovered from the pendennis people keep wearing masks even when it was hot in the summer people were wearing them it's great that the people who are so cooperative. you have a high like you had to look at you don't feel that this is a happy place. an odd thing has been you know it's very good look how lively the

city is everything is ok now i just hope we can take our masks off soon. correspondent mathias berlingo was in one last july after the lockdown was lifted chair he describes the measures china took in the city and since then not only did china at that time shut off one and the neighboring regions from the rest of the country it also locked up the citizens off one inside their homes for several months they were only allowed to leave their home with special permission eventually these harsh measures paid off and the virus was eliminated in one and in most of china however a year later the chinese government is still alert about the virus there are occasional flare ups and whenever this happens china reacts with equally harsh measures a recent outbreak around beijing shows how china is reacting a few 100 cases were enough to shut off and tire regions with more than 20000000

looking to cash out investors in this coronavirus economy are spending unheard of figures on old tunes there's more. bob dylan seal was the biggest they pulled star and nobel laureate 250000000 euros from universal music for entire catalog of 600 songs maybe and rocker neil young signed off a half share of his music rights to british company hypnosis which also bought out the song catalog of columbia pop superstar secure. behind this investment gold rush is in online streaming. something that really stopped that you know i see it's used to be to take all sort of a new format our music speak suit and it's been very strong run since then and even more people who invest into music are you right now it's also expected to continue to. hold music is making money again fleetwood mac's seventy's hit dreams have

a streaming with the songs on techno but young artists who don't have a back catalogue of hits are being left with digital pennies one of my friends who is an extremely successful young songwriter and wrote a track. the biggest selling all the fastest selling number one album in the u.k. has made 100 pounds from the number one record which is ready. to pay your rent with. your letter and singer songwriter believe bragg however is optimistic young artists will find new ways to make money online without selling off their music. some of them will become huge already so we'll know the names of many of them will find a way to make a living and be able to. enact the most important step in any of his career which is where you give up your right now day job and start to earn a living doing the thing you always love doing that that's

a meta definition of singing. and hanging on to your right you have a better chance of doing that than you do if you give all your money away to a corporation just because they're going to pay you a huge amount of money one. eventually this online music gold rush could mean more money for music makers big and small. my colleague who dream kennedy has more on this ok dream we just heard that this big sale of music rates could benefit all musicians but how exactly without work where these music selloffs if you like motivated by increasing streaming refuse and the speculation on the part of the bias is that if they amass big catalogs they can the for which that to get even more money from the streaming services and if that works that would benefit all musicians was ok i see it let's talk

a little bit about the timing of this i'm wondering if it has anything to do with the coronavirus with missed revenues from tours that can't happen is that a factor well we asked about as it doesn't seem to be the case this trend began before the pandemic and analysts say that actually tax issues are a bigger factor especially in the us where higher taxes are feared under the new administration ok ok so a tax avoidance strategy for the already rich let's talk about musicians who are getting started what's their best bet well seeing that billy bragg who we spoke to in that report was quite positive he pointed to new ways that musicians have getting their music out there jutes a social media he's speaking sample was sea shanties tick-tock sensation nathan evans he started posting his covers of centuries old songs on tic-tac and sparked a. viral craze tick-tock now hosts 1600000000 see shanty videos and lo and behold

breaking news evans has just signed to put it all records and has done just what frank talks about he's given up his day job as a postman surely be working to sell the rights or should he be keeping them adrian . history is littered with examples of people who writes early for lump sums but died destitute one counter example is dolly parton who didn't sell half the rights on her song i will always love you elvis presley's manager wanted elvis to sing it only if elvis got co-composer credit on it dolly parton said no way and the payoff came 20 years on when the song was a massive hit for whitney houston and featured in the movie the bodyguard curse that helped spread the dolly parton a very rich woman but we keep hearing about streaming and how artists really just don't make much on streaming where they don't have the individual payoffs of small

but you can reach bigger audiences global audience is much more easily and most labels have strategies for expanding reach now we have an example of this in the news today billy irish singing in spanish for the very 1st time a collaboration with spanish singing. vidar we can take a quick listen i think. both. winning by expanding their audiences streaming revenues might be. a song for example bad guy has 1600000000 place today on one streaming service alone that can add up to a tidy sum. you know i can't really do the math a.j. and i know you're better at it thanks so much for bringing on this us the story on

selling of song rights and the big bucks yes thank you well if i have a 1000000 i know where to invest it now and speaking of billy eilish it's been almost a year since her new song for the james bond film came out and now hollywood executives say it will be another 8 months before you can see the movie now if this sounds like old news to you that's because it's now the 3rd time that m.g.m. has pushed back the film's debut due to the coronavirus no time to die it was the 1st major movie delayed by the pandemic it was originally set to be released last april. and england one of europe's most famous gothic cathedrals has been turned into a coded 1000 vaccination center hundreds of elderly people have already received the pfizer vaccine in the cathedral's 800 year old name where there's plenty of room for social distancing they're also getting free concerts from organists who

stepped down under the pressure but the people's disappointment was then all the greater once his old comrades in arms took over power palace wanny knows the subject of his tale all too well because he was one of the initiators of the demonstrations his novel doesn't tell how events transpired but we know the story mubarak was brought to justice and sentenced to life in prison for corruption and abuse of office in 2012 the fundamentalist mohamed morsi of the muslim brotherhood then became president in 2013 the military completed a successful coup against morsi who was arrested since then i've done fattah el-sisi. she has been president of egypt in the country's darkest hour yet with a new war. well everything. has to be approved by. many people i have few friends.
