business i'm on so happy you can join us the head of the world trade organization and causey a con job has weighed in on the debate over waiving patent protection for covert 19 vaccines want to negotiate between 164 w t o member countries still ahead and all countries have to agree but said friday that success requires striking a fine balance between allowing access and promoting innovation here is what she said. so my job is to make sure that i bring members together so i actually sit down and negotiate texts that would lead to a pragmatic solution that shows access to developing countries to deal with a bad thing in that we do whilst at the same time making sure we don't disincentive ice research and innovation so that's where we are the recent pronouncements by the u.s. and so on i'm sure will give i mean put. downs with people

a member has been willing to come around the table to negotiate tax that's the only way we'll make progress our correspondent joy to joins us now tory how much confidence is there within africa that w.t. own member countries will agree to waive patent. well health experts in africa with the news from w. to you today are just taking the wait and see approach given the fact that there are still a number of countries that fall within the countries that are opposed to the weaving of patents when it comes to vaccine manufacturing and so while we have about 60 countries that are in for the waiver the are a number of other countries that are not and saw in negotiations between the w.t. oil and the manufacturers of these vaccines as well as the world health organization are more of

a conversation that many health experts are looking to see how that's going to go for them to even have a say on whether or not this is going to be unlikely situation a wait and see approach that is understandable but job makers like madonna say kogan vaccine production is too complex to just hand out to other matter fact earth how much potential is there to produce the vaccine and africa for a long time africa has only monies to produce about one percent of its vaccine needs but that is changing we are now seeing a number of countries like morrish areas south africa and render that have not come up and said they would like to produce their own vaccines in fact they want to set up their own manufacturing plants run to for example is saying it's in talks to set an m.r.i. any manufacturer in planned in its respective countries and so whether or not the

resources are available 'd is a question that cannot be answered right now but countries like south africa as well as more issue as i was showing potential to set up their own manufacturing plants in the countries. now speaking of south africa joy it wants pad tend and trade secrets waved to fork over their putin drugs and diagnostics so not just vaccines do you think that's likely well this was a very complicated situation because if you look at it yes the reason need for the vaccines given that the lifesaving but scenes but when you look at those opals to the wave is saying and defending it and saying that protection of intellectual property is a source of innovation and while these are drugs that are lifesaving it's only going to come from the manufacturers as well as the countries where they're being manufactured to determine whether or not this is going to be likely of africa

my the need right now but it's not only dependent on south africa thank you joy during barrow there for us now post the virus financial negotiations can be tricky if you're a billionaire couple with a very large foundation there are also a lot more stakeholders the bill and melinda gates foundation has an endowment of some $50000000000.00 they say they will keep running the foundation together nevertheless some nonprofits in africa relying on their funding are anxious about their budgets in the years to come. some married couples stay together for the children that's what charities around the world were hoping for when it came to philanthropist power couple bill and melinda gates the gates foundation was among the 1st donors to help kick start this primary school in south africa which today counts nearly 1000 students now the school manager is

concerned that the separation could affect money promised from the gates foundation . we know a lot of rules say those things but once. the divorce come through definitely there will be because one of the differences in those resumes with a group. of. the gates family committed to do something in terms of. schools like our london wonderful ride and the gates foundation's investments in africa are not limited to education just take the fight against malaria in 13 a faso researchers are looking at how the corona virus affects patients with malaria thanks in part to a one and a half $1000000.00 grant from the gates foundation. in the short term the program will not be affected but in the long term and also in

general there is a risk that it will be affected because i know that bill and melinda gates contribute in an enormous amount directly and indirectly to several projects we are leading here. most of the wealth promised to the foundation has yet to be donated by bill and melinda though the former couple has committed to running the foundation together how long will that last will they keep up their payments into the foundation. the gates at least have pledged to continue their philanthropic work together saying they quote continue to share a belief in that. now let's take a look at some other business stories making headlines. the u.s. economy added 266000 jobs last month far short of expectations of $1000000.00 jobs the department of labor said gains and leisure and hospitality were offset by layoffs of temporary workers and couriers and in the transportation and manufacturing sector. new numbers show chinese exports surged in april up by

a 3rd from a year ago that amounts to 264000000000 dollars and shows the worldwide demand for chinese electronics medical equipment and clothes chinese imports were also up by about 43 per cent or $221000000000.00. now we often talk about recovery in terms of economic output but g.d.p. doesn't track jobs many of which in europe and the u.s. are in service sectors that may not contribution much to economic output in crisis times like these it's the outside edges of the labor force that suffer the most such as older workers and in this case those who are just starting to work. when it comes to business they've cracked it because it is a dora took over this not store from his parents modernizing it to cater to a growing demand for healthier snacks. become us with. something unrelated and to be honest the crisis helped our decision to run the shop

and so pistachios thank macos is interested in nutrition and disco friend is a dora gave up her job as a physical therapist to work in the business in a then a lot of people like us can't be satisfied with the jobs on offer and what they pay that's why i think it's the right time to take advantage of the chance to build something of our own. path to. building their own future increase. in piracy ocus took the leap of faith after their studies and founded their own company adventists which develops medical software used to analyze the brain. always wanted to work in research but there was a very limited number of jobs in greece. so the only solution for me was to build something for myself that is to create my own job. they founded the company

in 2016 in spite of economic crises and the coronavirus pandemic they've expanded enough customers around the world they have 11 employees with an average age of 28 . if you think our generation to survive quite a few crises that's formed our personality and helps us to make something out of nothing what's changed we're trying to do business to find new things to recognize demand and to be innovative greece's government recognizes the potential it's promoting startups and investment in research and development. we're confident that our investment in financial. centive will create in my point new jobs which will allow us on the one hand to develop scientific potential in greece and on the other to lure back many young greeks who have moved abroad satirical. nikos and is or dora are confident that they can make a living in their home country and that greece can offer other young innovators

a bright future too. and finally it would be quite a u. turn but here in the capital of famously car loving germany one group of activists is pushing for a big change they want a referendum on removing cars from the city of berlin all together take a look. at the capital city without cars it's certainly a radical idea but it's one which these activists want to see become reality. they're gathering signatures from citizens in the city hoping to force a referendum on whether much of berlin should become practically carefree with only essential traffic allowed. there except for example traffic from businesses also public transport and ambulances garbage collection taxis will be able to keep driving but the regular daily traffic to go shopping or go to work that should stop. that fire for years berlin has had

a real problem with air pollution but the activists behind berlin carefree do not just have environmental goes they believe the taking cars off the streets will improve public spaces and quality of life as a whole. if successful berlin would become the world's largest although reduced zone but germany as a nation remains mired for cars and a movement like this faces serious opposition. in the way that this was presented and in the way that this initiative to reduce traffic in the city. in those ways it is totally unreasonable. it is basically nothing else other than an elimination of the mobility and mobile rights of the citizens we think that is clearly going too far 'd. alternately they will need 175000 signatures in less than

a year to have the issue put to the people should it get that far berliners will have a big decision to make. that for me and the d w business fame for more on these and other business stories visit us online at www dot com slash business also facebook and twitter will be back in a few hours with more until then take care. of are you ready for some great news i'm christine window on the i m f u market you know with the brand new dean of the news africa the show that tackles the issues shaping the continent now with more time to off on in the little cottage all the time stuff to you what's making the hittites and what's behind it where on the streets to give you end up reports on the inside. job or news in africa every friday on g.w. . how finance fears for everyone schuman penises are very different from primates
