neil host of the on the green fence and to me it's clear to me. the solutions are out there. join me for a deep dive into the green transformation for me. for the farms. in one part of the world a race to vaccinate. in another the long white. richer countries have plenty of funding and plentiful vaccine doses poor countries have neither the could be years before some of fully vaccinated recent setbacks with the most accessible vaccines astra zeneca and johnson and johnson chantelle paying global vaccination at 2 speeds what does it mean for the lives and livelihoods and can

anything be done to prevent it. well india is now the world's 2nd worst affected country it's a past brazil putting it only behind the united states the increase in infections could affect the world's vaccine supply india is the biggest producer many parts are running short of supplies as in occupations expand due to the surge in cases this comes as hundreds of thousands of hindu pilgrims gathered at the ganges for a ritual bath as part of the comella festival a low thirty's made efforts to offer coronavirus testing most participants haven't been wearing masks or distancing themselves best of all their rallies of being blamed for the spread of the virus in india. denmark is completely drops using the astra zeneca vaccine and more countries delaying the introduction of the johnson and johnson single shot after the us so far has recommended as a suspension the european union in south africa has said they won't be administering the job for now they've been. lots of rare blood clots similar

concerns with the astra zeneca vaccine from the countries including germany to restrict its use the delay comes as a blow for developing countries they've been counting on the 2 vaccines. and that's raising questions about when widespread vaccination coverage will be achieved by the end of the year in high income countries middle income nations will have to wait another year and poor places not before 2023 if at all a key factor holding back the vaccination drive is peyton's it didn't is director of global justice part of an international movement to challenge the powerful nick how different would things be if these farm firms didn't have patience on their vaccines. well we would be able to ramp up production much more easily lead than we currently can i mean at the moment we have an artificially constrained supply

precisely because all the manufacturers in the world who want to produce dyspraxia conte in less that he specifically licensed by the company that owns the peyton's and when you bury mines an awful lot of these products were made with public money . huge amounts of money coming from governments like the us government european governments and international institutions is just really scandalous we've handed over be privatized this knowledge through peyton's to a handful of big corporations who are now deciding who in the world gets this vaccine and who else in time me across africa where we're seeing the most awful wave of coronavirus spreading even frontline health workers haven't been vaccinated meanwhile in rich countries like my own people who are far less at risk of this disease are getting vaccinated ahead of those who need it more i thought i was living in a great place germany but i'm still plating to my shot we have a vaccine which is fantastic but i keep hearing there are production problems but

then as you say we're not even using all the production capacity out there because the patrons prevent that is that right. that's exactly right so some of the biggest vaccine produces in the world are not producing coronavirus vaccines simply because when they tried to create their own back seen it didn't work and they don't have one and they can't and they have to. give up their production facilities their factories and their manufacturing capacity to produce the vaccines that we've got so it's absolutely great that we've got these vaccines like you say an awful lot of public capacity and public money has gone into creating these vaccines but it's you know we have factories across the world who could produce hundreds of millions more vaccines including in europe who are saying we want to produce this vaccine give us the technical know how and big pharma companies a saying minute we're going to keep this to ourselves and unfortunately rich countries like our own standing behind them a lap and allowing them to do that exactly i'd like to point that out and give our viewers a couple of examples in addition as vaccine is being nearly entirely funded by u.s.

taxpayers it's being sold at basically a fully commercial price on the other hand we have others like astra zeneca who are saying ok we're going to sell it for much less but they still have the paid rights over supply which means people like me still haven't been vaccinated i mean don't politicians get are they allowing these companies basically to run amok and they. they are they absolutely are. and you're absolutely right about astra zeneca i mean look these companies aren't all the same of course we think it's great that astra zeneca are said they won't be profiting joining the un demick although i should point out that they can decide when the pandemic is over and at that point they will begin profiting and look with a company like us does any good there was some research done a just a couple of weeks ago which found that the amount of public money that had gone into research and development public charitable money of the oxford astra zeneca baxi was about 97 to 99 percent in other words the company has put virtually no

money into research development they've then been given at least $2000000000.00 to ramp up their manufacturing into trials and so on this company hasn't created this vaccine a university created the vaccine and they then been helped to scale up manufacturing sure pay them for the work they've done but don't for goodness sake allow them to keep up for 20 years and decide who gets it and who doesn't get it and when you do that you've seen yourself i mean even here in the rich world the argument now between the british government and the european union over the contract signed with astra zeneca this is just nonsense it's a public health emergency we need international cooperation not a very very small group of people deciding who gets this in what order only politicians in south africa and india have proposed a temporary suspension of coronavirus peyton's the w t o like the idea there are signs the u.s. does too why isn't that gaining more traction. well this is really interesting and

it's exciting that we didn't expect this to happen quickly so you know it's going to take a while to put this pressure on but the pressure is building we've now got holly wood stars and celebrity you've got former world leaders calling for this to happen and i mean absolutely amazing that apparently the biden administration is considering this proposal from south africa and india to waive titan's that would be an absolute game change it if it happened to date almost all rich countries have sought i did with the pharmaceutical industry because you do not believe believing it helps that country's economy in some way if a pharmaceutical industry makes a lot of a lot of money in the country it's based in we completely dispute that and we hope as a result of the problems we're seeing around the world that politicians are going to begin changing their minds on this after all it's really not acceptable that governments like mio can tell south africa or india whether there are huge problems getting vaccines into their own populations there's no problem don't worry about it the market will salt will solve everything in the long run it's not acceptable and

we hope that that case is now being allowed and save around the world most countries of the global south demanding a different way of doing this and by the way that different way of doing it isn't just going to help us get out of coronavirus which is really important and of course of the foremost of all minds now but it's going to get out to the situation we've got to the moment when most countries in the world are dependent on their medicine supplies coming from a small handful of countries that's no way to run a global research and development medicine there's no way to produce medicines in a fair way internationally and we need to start. a different means of collaborating on medical research of factories being based all around the world so that people can have a lot more security on where the vaccines are coming from and that's going to be a big issue for coronavirus because this is unlikely to go away any time soon we've seen that now but for all manner of other diseases we need to have

a far more distributed and not a factoring system around the world and i hope that this could be the moment this could be the wake up call where we begin to develop that need it in director of global justice thanks for being on the show again. that's a pleasure. the what about people who don't want the vaccine hysterical you. how does the refusal to be vaccinated correlate with an increase in mutated virus. this question is one that anyone refusing a vaccine needs to think about on and hard to try to answer it but 1st go over some basics and that everyone should be able to agree on number one like all viruses sars kovi 2 regularly mutates producing new versions of itself that we call variants that's not up for debate number 2

more of those variants will of course appear when more people are infected. 3 the chance that random mutations could alter the coronavirus for the worse like making it for instance more contagious or a more deadly the chance rises along with the number of people the virus infects so so for logically to limit the chances of even more possibly dangerous mutations arising we have to limit birol spread to new hosts effectively limiting how often the virus replicates the vaccines that we have appear to do that very well by making recipients a lot less likely to catch the disease which is why the choice to be vaccinated is not just a personal one but a social one as well even if you say yes to vaccines you could potentially become

infected but the chances are much greater if you say no which you might consider to be your choice and you're right but it unfortunately. stop there that choice not only poses a potential danger to other unbox unaided people around you which is bad enough it also potentially offers the virus more opportunities to mutate into something possibly even worse for all of us like a variant that's resistant to current versions of our most powerful defense against it vaccines. there are billions there before we go sri lankans have been marking the start of the sinhalese and tamil new year after coronavirus restrictions were east people visited hindu and buddhist temples in the evening before they biggest annual

back home who are bound by their duties and social goals and informed about the basic rights my name is the about of people and they work adds to the. 2 years after a fire ravaged not to don cathedral we find out why efforts to restore one of europe's architectural treasures are shrouded in controversy. we look at the new drama of the omen in france as director no brings the fight full night to the big screen. and we need to fashion designing games are catching outfits are constructed not to flatter but to make us think.

welcome to us in culture april $29000.00 the world watched incredulous as not saddam cathedral in paris burned the city's mediæval masterpiece and the price napoleon was crowned it was hard to believe it could be on fire. 2 years on restoration work is underway but efforts to save one of europe's cultural treasures has involved sacrificing some of its natural ones. workers from the national forests office have cut down $1000.00 oak trees there are around 200 years old almost as old as the not to dom tower itself which collapsed in the fire and will be rebuilt with these very tree this. they get a 2nd life and no $2.00 from the beams will last for 20300 years so these trees have a very noble purpose burberry touched by the supporters. it's a monumental task scaffolding has been erected so that perspire and roof can be

rebuilt and further damage prevented. and then there are the windows in the navy which have been removed germany has offered to finance the restoration of 8 windows. to some windows will be sent to germany for restoration and the other part of the money raised in germany will secure the restoration of other windows. so franco german cooperation is also taking shape president emmanuel mccall had said an ambitious timetable for the whole project it's to be completed by 2024 by the time of the year and picking the trees mark an important intermediate step towards the school their felling is the symbolic start of the reconstruction of note. and i'm joined now by my colleague adrian kennedy welcome

i.d.n. now these trees are hundreds of years old being fails to rebuild not saddam not everyone's happy about this are they no 40000 conservationists signed a petition trying to stop the chopping down of these oaks for the restoration but the forestry department says that the trees involved only represent 0 point one percent of an annual harvest that is necessary anyway to provide room for younger trees they say sourcing the wood in france gives them total control over the process the critics though counter that this would and lead construction is outs modood that it's a proven fire risk that it's a toxic careerists in case of fire and other reconstructions have been done with concretes really but the decision on how not to dom is to be rebuilt has long been made right but that's why it all went very. actually i think we should go back and

remember the shock of the fire which came at a time when france was reeling after a series of terror attacks there was an order by collective garth's from. when the iconix color lapsed. macron was very quick to make the restoration a priority on the 1st anniversary he played not down would be restored within 5 years by 2024 there was a period when more exciting innovative ideas were. considered but it was very quickly decided to restore the cathedral faithfully and quite conservative why around a 1000000000 euros was raised for the reconstruction much of it came from super rich donors and some people believe that they had an influence on this conservative decision and approach see i don't remember the pledge is flooding in. but is the

target date for completion ballistic well the rector of not to dam himself says 15 to 20 years most of the work that's been done so far has been securing the sites it's been stopping for the crap says it's been taking out toxic lead and other substances apart from the cutting down of the oaks the physical reconstruction has not really started so critics still feel there is time to sway public opinion and take a different course of action that's good now in the past months i do believe there have been some events inside the cathedral that's why in december there was a very moving concert it was the 1st event. after that since the fire it was lifestream there was no public of course not just because of current virus and the. performance or how to work protective gear guards a good thing too well

a glimmer of hope that adrian and thanks very much for coming in and bringing us up to date on that thank you but we stay with that story because the not saddam fire is also the subject of a documentary series for netflix and a big budget drama from oscar winning director john jacques who brought us the name of the rose it tells the story of the 24 desperate hours during which the disaster unfolded. a group of tourists rushing out of a cathedral this scene is not in the french capital but in sounds north central france some 120 kilometers from paris. french filmmaker jacques annoy is making a new feature film about the fire at notre dame in paris using the cathedral of saws as one of the sets the film due for release in 2022 will combine file footage with acted scenes from history do you see this i said to myself it's incredible it's incredibly spectacular touching the depths of the soul and then there is this

beauty there is the symbol that's disappearing with the whole world crying 3 days later i was right and you. the only clue to you. inside the cathedral $120.00 extras and actors wait for instructions. be careful the cameras will be close to your face that no one is smiling we are not in for anything funny. they're recreating the last moments at the cathedral 2 years ago before the fire started and the alarms went off. as for the filming location the cathedral in saul's built in 1130 was largely inspired by note. the fire is being reenacted in a studio near paris. fashion design of a narrow. house construction projects of her own she builds her creations using objects you wouldn't normally associate with clothing she sees fashion as art and

says hutch choice is all symbolic designs not to make people look good but to make the beholder think twice. and raw fish be a fashion accessory. that's how russian armenian artist the nearest sorrow stage is for a model at a photo shoot in moscow. the fashion designers unusual combinations have garnered her international acclaim. i have no information materials and. i can come by in a paper with. ways of the shift because with me i want to write a diary but for me it's for making a mask. to her masks are works of art and a means of self-expression. the miracle sorrow that has been working on her mask

series since 2009 she's already made around 100 fanciful face coverings ever since she finished her degree in fashion design in moscow masks have played an important role in her creations by mask i cover my. real face and it gives me a while protection maybe and a feeling of safety and the mask of kind of her future. for me because i wanted to show my real emotions. on the face mark my face but i show my emotions through the textures the technique and the materials as a mask. over designs costumes and props for theater productions like this one in the russian city of perm in 2020. 3 years before she worked on the fish project at moscow's gorky park. and in 2018 she contributed to the moscow staging of book land.

time and again the designer mixes materials that don't seem to go together her current series fish and flowers is no exception because sorrow is inspired by fairy tales and surrealism fish are recurring symbols in her work ones that are meant to cause people to stop and reflect people who. dress with her all and always thought beautiful because if combined with flowers and. paper it's actually very beautiful but and it's kind of ok but it's not. alive anymore and that and. it's kind of. manifest and. while and evil. is on her way to nikolai gogol house a museum in the russian capital she was invited to take part in

a group exhibition here entitled the islands each participant was given a room and free reign to show off their creativity. the new yorker star of his installation features paper flowers printed with images of meat here too she makes a connection between pretty plants and dead animals. paper is. one of her favorite materials to work with. a water trucks mean paper moss it's very vulnerable if. there's nothing more for a jones and white sheet of paper. paper also plays an important role in her latest photo shoot. i'm never satisfied with wide events and that makes me do it or do it again

i'm always looking for perfection of a type kind a trade. then here are cars sorrow those stages of real dream worlds that unmasked her passion for the absurd. a very different take on fashion now are you fed up with being keeps up indoors meeting people just honestly i thought you're in good company because mick jagger feels exactly the same way he's teamed up with sci fi just guitarist dave grohl though actually of course to set his complaints to music they've released the track to celebrate the easy down in england happy listening and see you next time.
