supply chains the patent waivers are not expected to come quickly u.s. trade representative say negotiations at the w.t.r. could take some time that's going to be action serious from a radio going on who's head of the office of the covert facility whose aim is the equitable distribution of vaccines around the world welcome to the w. he must be very pleased about this development. indeed he welcomed the decision that the united states government has in all the mechanisms also books or increased global equitable at once and i think this is quite a significant and move it is also out to you ministrations government and on many other things particularly on increasing the raw material production that is going to have an immediate impact on getting more than one thing back east india and brazil have been lobbying for changes for some time why do you think the u.s.

has just got on board now. i think it's important that we think about the fact that we're a long way from vaccine equity of the moment and until more doses start arriving in the lower and middle income economies the i that we have today in terms of global act i think that it's only going to widen and i think that's not news of course for those who are not being able to access the accident but it's also not good news for those who have access but you will see that the virus will continue to rage and you take so anything that can be done to make sure that we have a truly local. solution to the 999 i think it's very well well give us an idea of how this might work so let's say hypothetically this was approved tomorrow how long before and in fact it is felt in areas that don't have

vaccines at the moment. so i'm not going to be the one to comment on the mechanics but when we think about what we have ahead of us right now what we need is urgency for doses and to get to lower income countries and actually that's the thing that done in the short term is to have access donated from the countries who have excess supply through and to to lower income economies through become back to sell it and then other mechanisms like technology transfer like having access not only to intellectual property but also to know how will be i'm porton elements in terms of increasing the supply available globally so just just so we're clear if this change happened now about wouldn't solve the immediate problems faced by those

countries who are dependent on kovacs for the vaccines. there are a couple things that can have an immediate impact so 1st and foremost. the us administration has committed increasing the production of the roman cereals that. are important for the 19 act that is and then alongside other mechanisms like intellectual property like. the transfer know how or will building blocks that will come. for increasing access on good talking to thank you for joining us already are going to become a society in general thank you well let's learn more about germany's response to this announcement from a judas daddy who's brought in politics you're welcome julia and i'm not exactly in

love with this idea though the during government appears to not really be on board with the u.s. proposal and seems to be hesitant to support the waiver of patents on the over 19 vaccine a german government spokesperson said today that in the view of the german government patterns are not the problem in terms of shortage of vaccines worldwide the problem lives with a limited production capacity and with the need to maintain high quality standards of the vaccine the spokesperson also said intellectual property is important for innovation and that this link should remain also in the future now german foreign minister heikal mass also spoke today and said that germany is open to discuss the issue but he also pointed out that the problems at hand at the moment in terms of vaccine production are the need to improve production capacity and to improve supply chains and not the patents again just dandy thank you.

german lawmakers of the easing of restrictions for as many vaccinating people as possible as the country's vaccination program gathers pace but the idea of loosening the rules for some but not others doesn't sit well with everyone. meeting people outside with fewer restrictions. traveling to they had without restrictive measures. liberties there will soon be possible for those who have been fully vaccinated in germany. the parliament approved legislation granting more freedom for those who have either been vaccinated against the corona virus or have recovered from a covert 19 infection the government says is not about granting privileges but reinstating rights. we're talking about people who have been isolated in their care homes restricted to their rooms without contact to others people who are suffering

they should be allowed to enjoy their meals together in the dining hall. but german seem very much divided over the issue. you can't create too much disparity within the population but at the same time you have to make sure that you somehow find a balance solution. i'm in favor of giving freedom back to those who are no longer pose a risk but it would mean that people who don't get vaccinated for whatever reason are 2nd class citizens experts warn that there will be a lengthy transition phase before a large part of the population is vaccinated. concerning the contact risk trick sions in public places i wonder whether it makes sense to create such a visible social division for a certain time if. i hope of course that it will only be a short transitional face. after passing germany starck the

country's opera house is expected to give the bill the green light the losing of restrictions for vaccinated people who have recovered from covert 19 could be in place as soon as next week. here are some more stories making headlines around the world german chancellor angela merkel has been taking part in a virtual global climate summit this year's petersburg's dialogue is being co-hosted by the u.k. and is focused on gaining greater commitments to curbing greenhouse gases. ugandan former child soldier who became a rebel commander has been sentenced to 25 years in prison for war crimes the international criminal court convicted dominick on charges including murder rape forced pregnancy and using child soldiers when he was leader of the lord's resistance army. and fresh trash is between police and protesters in the colombian

from leaving their angry the island of jersey is a self-governing british crime dependency and has become the epicenter for the disagreement over post breck's at fishing rights the island is closer to france than it is to u.k. and many french boats used to fish in the surrounding waters. where do we come today because we have always fished in these waters we've always fished here and then over night they take away all our fishing rights. these are agreements we've had for a very long time. but now they must apply for a parent from the government they say the process is unfairly restricting. that doctors were not happy with the licensing restrictions they handed out to us we should have had licenses to fish as we wished without any restrictions on the

6. so i am free now at least physically i was able to leave my apartment and move to a friend's house i would have thought that last night but my mind is still very tense down. there anywhere on the 9th of july 2015 china's police began arresting lawyers and human rights activists in total almost $300.00 were detained and. my husband one shang jiang was one of these lawyers and. retired you hope the whole what you are 28 years after my husband was detained i started writing articles about my experience i went to see government and legal agencies to inquire about my husband that's when i started getting pressure from them what you sow you don't 180 by our.

education in the beginning i lied to my son i said your father's on a business trip. but one day he suddenly asked me my mom why is my dad in prison. was the 1st you know 7 what. i want to hit him with my 20 swords that's what i want to do you know. what jeff. and i got i need the fullest you are allowed to be angry and to express your anger but we do not resort to violence we will use the law to solve this problem. what's on the chain all the transformation i always knew that my husband risked detention. action on behalf but i did not imagine the kind of hardship we had to

enter on or put it out quickly and in that course there were detentions in the past they would for example arrest democracy activists who have been trying to organize a party but that they would go after lawyers on such a scale that is something we did not expect you were sure it would be hard to go through this alone everybody tells you keep quiet don't stir up trouble when i see her we both know we don't speak up i just say the word all of us lawyers wives did not know each other before but this has brought us together to share this moment to the car. and to the entire course i heard of only because i know that all think you live on the titles. that we are. so yes i do the. order for the most desperate thing about this country is not that

people are treated unjustly for. what really causes disappearing is that when that happens and that nobody is willing to stand up for them and speak out. moreover few people even dare to show compassion. for. the. south. when they can't threaten you they can't cheat you into compliance with promises but when that doesn't work they have no more ways than you continue speaking the truth is the safest option for us is untruth. can. help with end of the i need to keep raising our voices we need to continue

expressing our resistance and anger towards the relevant departments and we hope people will continue to pay attention to their stand by them and all that they were treated of one form into the shooting. digital yes this is the last time i saw him in the trying to sue joe. with the what if. only janet had he went to work on a case i joined him to visit some friends call and from there i went to my hometown so he got you going we're all having a heart suddenly he stopped answering the phone i tried to get through for a whole morning and truly was home ownership then i knew something terrible had happened. but i did not think it would be such a long time that he's out and that has you tonight. during

this feel so distant. what you call i know constantly cried for 6 months i cried so much that people got scared when they looked at my face. every day i would check my phone to see whether there was any news about him and me but man i thought he sounded kind out one day i tried to read my messages and i could not recognize some of the characters anymore they were blurred and that's when i understood that i'd cry too much you could have had one. for. but it also like i told only one friend. i mean. how did he ask you. or did you tell him yourself having

a lover not. the asked me where my father was i made him promise he wouldn't tell anybody it's a secret. though and i'm very nervous and excited i did not sleep i've been waiting for this with 3 and a half years and i sent him back today is his court hearing. and it's already yesterday around 930 i went downstairs the state security agent came to see me he told me i was not allowed to go to tianjin where his trial is held. at noon i look down stairs as a 5 state security. so when i go down in a moment i don't know what will happen so that won't help at all fighters from us.

whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa i'm going. to. get him to take a go if you don't i'm nervous i've been through this many times but each time is different races he adrenaline rises every time and you. know. i sent you a message yesterday the trial is not open to the public it concerns state secrets what if my husband disappeared 3 and a half years ago i'm his wife i have the right to attend his trial this is not about somebodies wife it's about state secrets. let me tell you you're still young don't do this kind of work you're infringing on other people's dignity you're violating their rights this will take its toll on you as

well as a whole that you've. got here so you're going to. indian on here number one panel today one shot john was sentenced to 4 and a half years in prison but i firmly refused to accept this verdict i do not recognize it i think the reason is that he has remained firm has not cooperated and not pleaded guilty that's why the verdict is so harsh. well john is not guilty the police and the judges who convicted him. when. he was suffering his most severe in the beginning when they play she will secret prisons you don't have any contact to the outside world sometimes even the guards don't talk to you. every day you have to sit or stand you're not allowed to move.

after some time they showed me a photo of my son who are came with his mother to look for me my mother told the doctor that's when i collapsed i cried bitterly and couldn't stop for 3 days poorly . i think if i had been less resilient psychologically i might have gone mad you know when you were for the other boys are you know your photo. was. is it that one was a c.n.n. app or contrary to. the former you. could since i was released in april i feel drawn to nature. i enjoy being outdoors often. so i started getting interested in what all these plants are. brand recommended and after that recognizes. the city that's great to hear that you

know that. the national one but he did a war but entrust my words to express this feeling to have lost something and then to get it back. but i cannot find words to express it. it feels like something exceptionally precious. but there is also a feeling of time fear that i might lose him again i should. know what their users are going to hear see authorities have revoked my license to practice law but i don't feel in any way against what has been done to me. i want my case to be heard in court. if. i just came out my son and i were very. affectionate with each other at least

superficially but since then the a strange man has become quite visible but when i tell him something or criticise him he opposes me rebels this is something that gives me a headache so i think a lot about how to bridge this gap and to ease the effects of my detention on my side of the high the vision. that. he. did. to. me.
