here women are in charge. of the archipelago has it a retreat or call system for centuries of. the rare form of society. to women differently. what do they do with their words. and how sustainable is this culture. inclusions of the rainbow starts marching on t.w. . gone in one fell swoop all that work against poverty inequality and discrimination down the drain the pandemic has put us back to kate's it's exacerbated social

divisions and it's highlighted more than ever just how unfair economies can be welcome we do about it let's take a look the entire populations of rich industrialized countries could be vaccinated by the end of the year imagine nations that may not happen until next year is that . well you've just got to follow the money to find a vaccine we compare the challenges facing europe's economic engine germany africa's largest economy nigeria and the world's biggest democracy india. developing manufacturing and distributing vaccines against the coronavirus is a huge challenge will only rich countries get the supplies they need what about low and middle income countries. what's the situation like in india. i'm in mumbai and my aim is to find the answer to that question. over the span of about

a month around $8000000.00 people in india have received their 1st vaccine. the government aims to vaccinate 300000000 people by july. health care and other front line workers are 1st in line. among them gaeta raj who's been a nurse for 20 years. she's very relieved to be protected she was worried she might become infected and then pass the virus on to her family. but maybe abbott never had to be extremely careful at home i was worried about our children and their health i slept in a separate room picked my clothing and shoes separate maintain proper hygiene and constantly used sanitizes i try to take care of every little thing. in the world time is of the essence infection rates a stable right now and india hopes to vaccinate more than 60 percent of its

population by the end of the year. but in that time frame where the numbers are going down so we'd be very imperative that if we can vaccinate as many people as possible it would be able to avoid be po'd be if the oxford astra zeneca vaccine is produced under license in india by the serum institute of india a company owned by one of india's wealthiest families that's one of the world's biggest pharmaceuticals manufacturers. the government has pledged to provide the vaccine at low cost like now free of charge we're going to be probably the lowest priced call the $19.00. vaccine manufacturing the world like we are for all of axes is going to be priced in a few 100 rupees initially that won't cover the cost but we're talking to the government to see how we can manage that with high volumes to see that you know we

don't go into a dog loss or whatever in december india became the world's largest buyer of covert 19 vaccines ordering 1600000000 in effect 800000000 people or 60 percent of the population india is fortunate in that it can manufacture a european vaccine and indian vaccine is due to follow and they'll be imported ones how is the manufacture of vaccines proceeding in industrialized countries and what's the situation in africa on the continent relies on imports and they're being coordinated by kovacs a global initiative a mirror to ensure equitable access reporters sampson adelaide is in the nigerian capital abuja. we all have to wear masks on the streets about. vaccinations have not yet begun here in nigeria. the only country on the african continent to have started is south africa a number of others are planning to start soon. are you dearly

is medical director of the private connect a cost but all he has received many covert related deaths for the government the task is so important that only public vaccination centers will deliver the jab those for anyone has gone through to the complex sentences of my population i don't care what happens in this you're not a part of the world so. this pandemic is just telling us all to do walt is one big global village nigeria has a population of more than 200000000 doctor i would deem it tells me that to attain herd immunity via vaccination more than 100000000 would need to be inoculated the national health care development agency isn't working on a vaccine of its own its director pfizer says it will be getting the one manufactured by the serum institute of india with the support of the world health

organization we get in a row 16000000. of the. vaccine in the month of february and that. disease will likely call in batches. he says less than 2000 people have died of covert 19 in nigeria the mortality rate in south africa for example is much higher the number of doses being provided by the w.h.o. and the gates foundation amounts to less than 20 percent of the total need it so what's the situation like in germany let's find out from our colleague in berlin. vaccines are to be produced in a number of facilities in germany some are still being built. and countries around the world are competing to acquire the available vaccines. on february 1st chancellor merkel confirmed the government's commitment. does to us everybody

effects a nation by the end of the 3rd quarter said that is the end of the summit in fundable . germany is among the slowest rich countries when it comes to vaccinating its population orders for vaccines were placed too late senior citizens and health care workers topped the priority list around 3000000 doses have been used so far. germany is one of the world's richest countries it might well succeed in completing its vaccination campaign by the end of the year. but vaccinating lower income countries especially in africa will depend on assistance from the international community. but this isn't just about money it's about government's organizational skills and getting the public on board israel is well on its way to becoming the 1st country in the world to

a vaccinated its population anyone who's already had covert and survived or has got both jabs or get a green passport allowing them to move more freely the thing is this isn't just a race against the coronavirus anymore it's about beating the diseases ability to mutate a reporter spoke to an official at gov the alliance that's working to help lower income countries get their fair share of the vaccine. back seen alliance is involved in campaigns around the world to vaccinate against infectious diseases such as ebola and polio. it's set up refrigeration facilities in africa to ensure an uninterrupted cold chain for it seems. i'm going to talk to god he's director of countries. about the global corona about respects in nation program. to act quickly it's absolutely critical because. the quicker we can.

contain the virus the faster we can prevent it from for example mutating countries in the north and hemisphere and south america as well as australia really likely have by the end of next year. but it's feared that the vaccination timeline from many countries in africa and asia will extend to 2023. 0 that rich countries currently the populations of the rich countries get vaccine earlier than populations of the a much in contrast we're changing that our intent is to make sure that low income countries can access it seems that seems at the same time as high income countries are much money do you have did you collect already so far we've mobilized

$6000000000.00. and we are still seeking an additional $2000000000.00. for it to take it through the end of the year and into 2022 many countries have contributed funds to god with the aim of ensuring an equitable distribution of coronavirus vaccines the ones in gray are not dog owners low and middle income countries marked and poor people are to be provided with $8000000000.00 euros to buy a vaccine you're up to mr maher less that they need it 60 to 70 percent a goal of vaccination of the whole population robey are achievable within this year i wouldn't say that no i think. that would probably be a goal that would be achieved in 2022 i think you know globally. but. certainly from our perspective reaching those 1st 20 percent that are the most for

all the well it's people and we're on track to do. a pandemic aside what about how awful fishel intelligence is changing our lives it's doing some great stuff but it's also creating an even unfair world the systems are mostly made by a bunch of white guys so the decisions made by the bots or algorithms a based on biased information if you're not a white guy the social impacts can be extremely far reaching on health education and economic status for example in some cases it can be a matter of whether you live today or not. a drone attack artificial intelligence decides on the target the size of a life and death. increasingly it also selects who is going to be invited to job interviews or not. and who is put behind bars and who gets out on probation.

it's 5 o'clock in the morning it's dark outside time to work and to talk with a leading expert in 8 and thinks. in australia. kate crawford studies the social impact of artificial intelligence which is becoming more and more important to our everyday lives. ringback wise in just as the produce. developers have the power to minimize it in many ways we are training the technical systems of the future on the historical data on the past and along with at comes all of the biases and structural inequalities of those periods so this is a fundamental problem that we see in terms of the when an artificial intelligence works and for example studies that i have done the possible king of things like predictive policing software which in many cases is trained on police data that

contains many forms of you know racial inequities so if you are black person being judged by some type of either you know profiling software operated policing software the likelihood that you are receiving fair treatment actually goes down. so what is this allusion we think of these problems as engineering problems as though when we see these forms of inequality being enhanced by a high that what we can do is come up with a technical fix to try and simply modify a system to address it but in actual fact this is again part of this corny artificial intelligences somehow removed from society is pure math the opposite is true these are systems that are in themselves profoundly imbedded in all of their systems of labor data and of the environment so if we didn't address the profound issues inequality we need to see them as social rather than as engineering problems

in the future ai systems could become ever more closely into matched so for example my bank might make assumptions about my health on the basis of information about what i tend to eat making it potentially difficult to get a long term loan where do we have to draw the line what do you think from your point of view. i think the lines a very different depending on what spaces we're talking in many cases i look to the existing regulator restructures that we have and something like the health care demand do we need to come up with a totally new different set of rules and i or can we simply adapt the sorts of set to specific regulations that we or you have and my sense certainly at the moment is that really just growing from the sector specific laws and regulations we already have is the way to go i doesn't respect national borders yet there are no shared international rules about its use in the e.u. data protection laws are relatively stringent compared to the united states and in

china there are hardly any curbs on the use of ai. at the moment we don't really have a body that's doing that is a very new one called the global partnership and i am but again it's very early days it's less than a year old and the sort of work that it's doing is entirely voluntary people can choose just to follow those norms as they wish the e.u. wants international guidelines on ai weapons some other countries don't the bottom line those who stand to benefit from want to keep that. as a transfer of power to the already powerful we're seeing as an increase in his power his image towards already powerful institutions and corporations so these are the ways in which i see artificial intelligence and intensifying already existing dynamics of power inequality in society. racism is bad for business nearly 2 thirds of people will buy from will boycott

a company based on its social or political position according to a survey by mocking consultancy firm edelman the killing of a black man george floyd by a police officer in minnesota led to a global discussion on racism and the role of businesses in social justice just what can companies do to fight for racism within and beyond the workplace we asked some banks a professor of psychology at st louis university who helps enterprises learn how to become and he's racist and anti-racist organization and one that acknowledges not only how racism is showing up in their organization but is committed to taking action against it consistently over time. so organizations want to know how to build and anti-racist commitment they need to one identify the harm you can't assume that everything's been ok until now

listen to the voices of folks who are most impacted and do it without being defensive i think too often individuals within organizations feel uncomfortable asking well where we are we've done wrong because they feel personally complicit and it might be that they are part of the problem but we have to understand that racism is not just individual action racism is a system. it's about the patterns that we've created in our organization and so if we're willing to think about what are the patterns that we have in the bill landscape in the bill and vironment of our organization we can spend less time getting caught in our feelings of defensiveness and move to solving the problem. to get specific so once you have

a i do you know of what the harm has been so then you've got to not just say oh we see that we have some patterns you have to get specific about how you're going to rectify those inequitable patterns maybe you say internally we're going to commit to more professional development specifically for our employees of color but to make sure that everyone has access and opportunity to the professional development they need to mentor and they need and the networking they me. 3 deal with discomfort coming to see how your company or organization has been complicit and perpetuated dynamics of racism requires that you're honest about how you maybe made a misstep don't get caught up in percent rating or dwelling are wallowing it is what it is you maybe didn't fully understand the depths now you do you can feel all those feelings and put in the work to be actively antiracist.

for be accountable can you tell me that the opportunities on your team have been equally distributed equitably distributed we have goals that we set over time and those shift and change as we progress and it's the same with anti-racism so if we look at our disaggregated data and we see that disproportionately we have people of color at lower ranks and our organization but not higher rates. we want to increase those numbers so that means we're going to focus on like i said mentor we're going to focus on professional development we're going to focus on making sure people have access and opportunities and can be seen by leadership. companies that are doing this work well are willing to grapple with. the problem of racism they're not willing to settle for easy answers they are engaging people at

all levels of the organization on how we get creative and how we all work together to be anti-racist this is ongoing work that has to get integrated into the fabric of a company and should not just be siloed in one unit or and one position that it is a shared commitment throughout the organization. well when young people enter the workforce these days they don't just take whatever they can get they're the ones making the demands whether it's something like fake showy where they get to sit in the office or if the company offers a caring and fair a workplace this generation really cares about ethics including those of its employees campaigners say respect existence or expect resistance. they need the superheroes who are going to save the world.

cash is a student in berlin he's only 20 but he's already politically active in the fridays for a future environmental movement. like many others in his generation he wants to create a sustainable and farewell free from discrimination and racism. i think generations very value oriented we're very progressive very cosmopolitan and we're committed to tackling all kinds of injustice and that can be a problem when it comes to the kind of careers we want to have because many employers are still very traditional and conservative in their thinking. to save the world superheroes need super powers. for generations that one way to change things is via social media. posh also works for the german platform tin can producing short educational videos for young people topics of the gender pay gap

climate change and democracy and. we have to look at the bigger picture and not just that employers we have to consider how politics society and business interact if we want to achieve transformational processes and change of course employers must decide whether they're prepared to give young people greater opportunities without expecting them to have experience and. this or that area but we also have to take political measures that enable business to employ young people with little experience and give them a chance. that the generations ahead doesn't just want to post doesn't like things on social media it wants action people born in or after 995 make up generations that many vote green and eat less meat than their predecessors the millennial says and they expect a fairer and more camera work. i

don't a divergence of eden this generation will be very demanding and have very specific ideas about what they expect from the world of work they have their own view of the world. they have demands and wishes and i think that they're less willing to compromise than the generation before you know. many young people $25.00 or under would want any employer to respect and even embody their. diversity equality. satire rocky's. transparency for example when it comes to salaries and sustainability. they apply for jobs at companies that live these values and they take part in demonstrations to up hold these funds. there are more jobs than applicants right now or no it's not that means young

people are in the very privileged position of being able to pick and choose the position really suit them or not. that's why it's gone as often found young people are arrogant like they're not just realize they're standing on the same what they're worth they're not stupid. you know and they choose employers depending on whether. they're a good fit. for us. that means for employee as it can be a challenge to attract and then to keep talented young people. they're quite educated and looking back on previous generations on they're probably one of the most highly educated generations of recent history but that being said they're entering the workforce with considerable less job experience on than previous generations so that you know that's something that when you work place

when and when employers start to think about you know how would what they need to do they need to consider the fact that yes we have very very smart people that are coming to work but that they're going to need serious training you need to. plan pasha knows he's privileged to be in a strong position on the job market and has opportunities for personal developments in many others in his generation a less fortunate this is a fridays for teaching demonstration and. yes i think you might have you know the stage was here and the brandenburg gate is right behind you with an evil this is where fridays for future always stage their global strikes but let the last one it was on september 25th and 2020 will be tens of thousands of us demonstrated here i wanted to observing social distancing how for climate justice and for the german parliament to implement the 1.5 celsius cap in one of the talk. now it's deserted but even jaring the pandemic generations that refuses to be silenced now

compact is keeping up the protest online. while without racism and justice and environmental problems we all like that maybe we all need to be a little more the magic thanks for joining us today on the business show made i've been fizzling see that side.

the be cutting through the noise of the bar i come from people are known for being tough but fair new york a lot of people tell it like it it was the big call of the concrete jungle the melting pot of the city that never sleeps and it's this energy that makes it feel like old but amid the hustle it's important to listen and pay attention because

it's not just the loudest voices move to be heard we all have a story to taliban i see it is my job as a journalist to go beyond the obvious now i'm basing your odds my work takes me around the world but my instincts for me of the state to tell the important stories behind the headlines what is the heart of the story why does it matter who lived in paris. if you have to stay focused if you want. to cut through the noise to get to the truth. my name is sarah kelly and i work with the devil. it was trying to save face like a bunch of the clique because i wanted to see if gemini was the way the last few years have been quite o'brien friendly and that's it. and learned that mahomet when it comes to gem of the also in the us bridget but perhaps the biggest on the new all the up line i'm going down the river it looks to be an even better present

never comes but when you finish the getting there realize it's called just another way of letting you read to me the 7th then heard me right. they were forced into a nameless mass. their bodies and their tools. the history of the slave trade is africa's history. he describes holding forth power entrusted plummeted and entire continent into chaos and the filings the slave system created the greatest player and accumulation of wealth the world had ever seen up to that moment in time this is the journey back into the history of slavery . i think will truly be making progress when we all accept the history of slavery as all of our history. our documentary series

slavery routes starts march 10th on g.w. . the book. this is it every news line for a role in a landmark verdict here in germany a court finds a former syrian a secret service agent guilty for his role in atrocities committed by the assad regime and in another court a man accused of being the head of the so-called islamic state in germany was jailed for 10 and a half years to look through to young people to fight for the terrorist group and

progress in the fight against covert 19 gunna becomes the 1st country to receive vaccines under the un backed scheme to ensure low income nations get their fair share. on way rock thank you so much for your company everyone it is the 1st verdict of its kind worldwide never before has a member of president bashar al assad's regime been convicted of atrocities outside syria now a german court has found. guilty of being involved in crimes against humanity and jailed him for 4 years he was convicted of facilitating the torture of syrian opposition protesters a decade ago in damascus

a secret police agent fled to germany where he then was subsequently arrested torture of victims that testified in the case and are hoping it will set a precedence date of when you spoke to one young syria here in germany with a heartbreaking story. they're always fresh flowers next to ali moustafa us portrait he was forcibly disappeared in syria 8 years ago the few remaining photos of him i was daughter waffles most precious possessions just look at them a 1000 times trying to conjure up his presence the day it happened was i was away her mother then living in northern syria had meant to visit her husband in the mess because they hadn't seen each other in months 15 minutes before she arrived she called them and said that i need 15 i'll be there in 15 so he said that i clean the house everything is perfect and i'm just waiting for you. see out just in minutes

later she arrived and the out she called him and he never responded oh all. you know i mean. of the day but i was so calling to neighbors armed men had come to take stuff away while father mother and sisters had to flee syria one week later and leave him behind this still don't know anything about what happened to him. when they actually survived by leaving syria and not getting killed there maybe i have physically survived somehow by you cannot just get used to the fact that you lost your dad in one second you know you cannot just use to the fact that used to the fact that he just disappeared for nor isn't. my 1st father's one of 130000 people who have gone missing in syria by debris and now for strife he is

a human rights lawyer for the syrian center for freedom of expression he followed this trial from the beginning and is joining us now from the german city of kabul answer good to see you again sir these abuses took place in syria why did this trial take place in germany. yeah good afternoon from holland i think there is so remote that laird asked to this question 1st of all and international justice and international court was an option that i.c.c. in the hague is national crude oil and was an option because syria november state united nations security council has been blocked by the us and by russia mostly so and so that was an option also not for for a special international actually you know and then secondly i think it's important to know that germany has since the beginning of this century the necessary law and there is a code under national crimes which views germany you can really jurisdiction on the most shortest crimes crimes against humanity and genocide and it doesn't matter if those crowds are committed to iraq by foreign nationals against foreign nationals

and internally it is huge and want to know here that germany wants to prosecute these crimes and wants to put a capacity into resources and to do so including because it asked somewhat of a moral obligation as well as many 800000 syrians living in germany if you follow this trial very closely for over at a year what have you learned about this ex syrian secret police officer. well i think over the months and also still today became clear that this specific individual was one small piece in the larger structure in the criminal structure and community against humanity back into the 9 and 12 that was now and found to be the case but of course for the 1st time in approach this defendant was really a small piece in that structure and i think to the very day of 4 years and 6 months and it is traced out and in the judge in oral decision that he went out

today made a point of that that this man is not going to do for as a representative of the regime before his international for his individual crimes and his contributions small contributions limited contributions to just larger crime by this year. do you expect that there will be more trials like this. i mean 1st of all of course this this is like i said it well at 1st finding criminal courts that crimes against humanity happened there this is going to be a direct precedent for the 2nd case that and that is going on in this trial it is going to be the defendant a high ranking defendant anwar and then a very is supposed to come in some time to fall maybe earlier maybe later we don't really know for sure so that's a direct precedent and then i'll cite from that in germany for sure and in other european jurisdictions that are preparing cases and against former syrian regime officials and of course they will look at this and they will see this as a 1st step towards holding the former syrian regime officials accountable for their

crimes to strive human rights a lawyer for the syrian center for expression thank you for joining us thank you. threat in another high profile trial here in germany also a guilty verdict for a notorious iraqi preacher convicted for recruiting young people to fight for the so-called islamic state the man known as abu allah was believed to be the group's leader here. after 3 years in the dock the verdict was handed down guilty of belonging to a foreign terrorist organization helping to plan subversive violent acts and financing terrorism. find out after the law was known as the leading authority in the fundamentalist salafist say no and he and the other defendants primed young men theologically and ideologically for missions for the islamic state

they arranged contacts with smugglers planned travel routes and gave the men money to leave the country and want to go for the order that i think. this is the mosque in hilda's heim where abu alaa preached holy war he was also known as the preacher without a face for his online videos where he had his back to the camera. among those he radicalized from the mosque were german twin brothers who blew themselves up in a suicide attack in iraq in 2015 and a teenager convicted of bombing a sikh temple in germany in 2016. he also had links to his armory who mounted a deadly terrorist attack on a christmas market in berlin the same year. abu alaa was arrested in november 26th scene investigators had him under surveillance for a long time. the preacher chose to remain silent during the lengthy trial he was sentenced to 10 and a half years in prison. 3 co-defendants were handed down sentences ranging from

4 to 8 years. these are the stories making news this hour. but least in the german port of hamburg have seized 16 tons of cocaine the most ever found in europe the drugs were hidden in cans shipped from paraguayan 7 tons of cocaine were also seized in the belgian port of antwerp. joe biden has held his 1st virtual meeting as u.s. president with canadian prime minister justin trudeau the leaders discussed their policy goals on china and climate change they agreed to work towards achieving net 00 emissions by the year 2050. and germany has approved 3 kovan 1000 rapid tests for home use of medical professionals have conducted all testing up to now the kits should become available in the next days officials hope a home testing could help ease the national law down health minister ian spahn had

been criticised for moving too slowly. over and i'm gonna has become the 1st country to receive vaccines from kovacs a global scheme aimed at ensuring lower income nations have fair access to covert 1000 shots some 600000 doses of the astra zeneca vaccine arrived in the capital opera today the u.n. backed program is hoping to deliver some 2000000000 doses around the world this year. are going to take you now to do have your correspondent. in our gun are all eyes on gun out today isaac when will vaccinating vaccinations start and who are the health officials of prioritizing. well firstly they are one of the rocks in has actually been walk on by many guys excited about what is next expected is there really an out of the box and we're

expecting that to start from next week which is much too and of course focus will be for people who are health way because. we're also talking about lawmakers the judiciary and people who have the know any health conditions who are patient of course beat and of course people who are older than 60 years of age that is really the plan by government and it is because there are concerns with a rate at which inflation is going high in a country and set the scene for us i said what's the situation in terms of covert 19 infections in gaza now. so we have a it's a 1000 cases over $500.00 beds and there are reasons why it is serious because for example parliament i've had to suspend seats in because of the infection rates in the legislature that tells you how serious the situation is and people and the government and health officials want to contain the spread and that's why the

vaccines are right is very important in the fight against 1000 in ghana i say you have the opportunity today to talk to people in our care where you are and they told you about how they feel about the vaccines arrival and if they're willing to take the job let's take a listen to your conversations. i am very excited that. it's good because most of the western world had already received it and it will use an age if someone would take it anywhere also if they could in ghana some time some medicine that isn't wyck for us has been sick and they give you some drugs doesn't kill you so i use brain. is a nice to hear that we have all phased in over 1000 boxes i mean. since last year was a lot of. jobs and we've enough to get used to.

i said please tell us how is it gonna getting ready yet for the rollout so the government has thought that by educating the public that various programs when they meet in the local media to get people to offer should the fact that they need to take the vaccine to help stop the spread of the virus across the country is being taken by the government alongside trying to ensure that. what is in place to deploy the vaccine is in hot spots in the country places where infection has been spreading already fracture rate is high so that to become frustrated by reducing their spread in those areas before we get to the rest of the country. reporting from accra ghana thank you. football for you know by munich and their striker have been named finalist for the prestigious 2021 loris world sports awards by and won every available title last season becoming only the
