fear things will get worse before they get back to. less than 5 months to fatten collections germany's invited mentions greens are enjoying of bounce in the polls moving ahead of the chancellor's concerns. me to come to an asylum seeker who fled violence in the hope not dreams of opening his own barbershop in the united states. i'm still going to welcome to the program european leaders are in portugal for a face to face talks in the city of porto the meeting known as the social summit because of the focus on finding out ways to fight poverty in a post a current look around a virus world of the european commission president. sort of fall into line is that

the summers along with the majority of the blogs lead us to the issues that facing them are complicated with 27 diverse member states and the economic pressures imposed by the pandemic on the agenda of plans to redress economic recovery improving working conditions how to overcome the global pandemic. brussels a bureau chief alexandra naaman is that that important welcome alexandra the 1st day of this social summit is almost over have any decisions being reached. well yes the 1st day of this summit here in porto has and with the joints declaration signed by the european council president by the european commission president by their court to go by the portuguese prime minister and also by a representative of business associations and unions and in this declaration the european union is setting the goals for the next 10 years there are promising to

reduce the number of people living in poverty by 15000000 by 2030 they are promising to increase the employment rates to 78 percent by 2030 and they are also promising to train about 60 percent of the adult population every year so they would have better chances on the labor market and all of that sounds like really ambitious goals however the problem is that this declaration is a non-binding declaration and that means that if member states are not fulfilling those promises there will be no punishment and that's why there is already a lot of criticism with critics saying that what is needed is more action and less talk. stay with us alexandra because i love a story overshadowing this summit this is the waving of patents on the covert

vaccines it's been backed by the us along with other countries on the world trade organization germany's voice voiced caution saying this is not the best way to ensure vaccine accuracy and the protection of intellectual property is vital to innovation. in the global race for corona virus vaccines biotech pfizer was 1st out of the gate a proud achievement for buy on tech the german company that went from start up to pharma superstar now in the debate over waiving patents on covert 1000 vaccines the german government is siding with drug makers saying the protection of intellectual property is a source of innovation and must remain so in the future the limiting factor in the production of vaccines our production capacities and the high quality standards not the patents. germany says industry and government should work on transferring technology to new manufacturers if they want to scale up vaccine production quickly

and jab at the biden administration german health minister again spun had this to say the least if the real problem isn't patents but production capacity and availability then i'd be delighted if the united states is now willing to allow the export of doses manufactured there just like the european union. see it was indeed it was an export fights with. the us is just one of the wealthy nations accused of vaccine hoarding extending their immunization programs far beyond their vulnerable populations while poor nations go without the pharma industry says that problems should be fixed 1st. world we need to do is tackle the real problems such as caller id to reach countries to share those is within the next few days or weeks not in 45 months of to be vaccinated everybody in our countries we need to look at

the trait barriers we are which are hindering the ramping up of supplies and we need to improve the efficiency because they are scarcity and bottlenecks and supply chains to bats and wouldn't give you a single dose small but for many global health advocates removing patent protections is the right way forward companies have earned a tremendous amount in this this year alone on covert back $7000000000.00 us dollars for pfizer that seems like more than a sufficient amount to be investing in innovation in the future moreover patent protection didn't deliver the fact that we have now significant government intervention and government investment from across the world has done that for us. the discussion about patent waivers is only just getting started and it could take months whatever is decided it wanted to rest the immediate issue of making more shots to end the pandemic. or to alexander from nominee importer alexander is the

waiving of covert vaccine patients going to be a major issue. well i think it's definitely the hot topic here in puerto even though it has not been officially on the agenda yet but e.u. leaders are going to discuss that matter during their dinner tonight and who'll see whether they will come to any conclusion but it's clear that they are under pressure to position themselves they don't want to look like the bad guys off to you aspect of for their proposal and so they are under pressure to address the issue definitely but there's a real diversity of opinion amongst these 27 countries isn't that can we really expect a consensus view. well we have a key or no from germany we have seen a couple of positive responses in italy for example saying that this proposal to

lift intellectual property rights on big scenes is a good one and the french president emmanuel mccall also said that he is open to discussing that issue however he also stressed that the real bottlenecks are not surprises or the patents but increasing their production and also exporting the scenes and i think that could be a possible compromise here for them to say that you know lifting intellectual property rights on that seems could be the last resort but what is going to help much quicker is to increase for direction and to trounce a technology and knowhow on a voluntary basis thank you for that alexandra fun nama important. to look at some of the other developments in the pandemic the world health organization has authorized the emergency use of china's sign of foul vaccine that's the sick to make their prove last of u.k.

book as chancellor candidate for the greens polls showed her party in the lead ahead of chancellor angela merkel's conservatives a temporary bump many thought a brief surge on the back of her designation and the difficult few weeks for the ruling conservative bloc but almost 3 weeks later the bad book effect appears to be sticking. the greens are now pulling ahead of the c.d.u. c.s.u. with a 4 percent increase compared to a month ago the conservatives have dropped 4 points and their partner in the current government the social democrats have also lost some support. it's not only the green party and the innovative of herself is riding high 28 percent of germans would vote for her if the chancellor could be elected directly a few percentage points above her opponents in lash it for the conservatives and all of shows for the social democrats the rise of the green party goes hand in hand with the drop in the government's approval ratings. a majority of germans now say

they are dissatisfied with the work of the government after record approval in 2020 skepticism has grown about the government's crisis management during the 2nd and 3rd waves of the coronavirus pandemic and it shows the election is still more than 4 months away and anything could happen in the race but these numbers show that the greens pose a serious challenge to america's conservatives. well let's get more on this from political correspondent julie. julia so i suppose the big question is can the greens might tell you miss popularity between now and polling day in september. that is indeed a big question especially if we look at the greens record in this regard in fact they have a bit of a tradition of polling very well before an election before a vote and then not being able to deliver once the polls are open and people go and

don't end up voting for them and one thing we have to also look out for is that of the c.d.u. c.s.u. after a few issues regarding the management of the corona virus pandemic now we see the vaccination rate in germany picking up and we may see soon an improvement in the number of coronavirus cases and deaths and reopening is over the summer and that may actually help the conservatives turn the situation around and go up in the polls so has a prospect of being in government and being responsible for decisions rather than criticizing from the sidelines likely to change the greens approach was something that's going to be important for the greens if they manage to get into position that leaves them towards a government that they're going to have to be ready to compromise now given the political and the electoral system in germany

a coalition government is the most likely outcome and the greens are going to have to negotiate with one other or other parties what has changed also in comparison to the past is that the greens have shifted away from their origins as a protest movement and have move more towards the center and are promoting themselves as a party for the middle of german society and that may help them be able to negotiate better with coalition partners so we had to revoke their quarters the poles if jerry jones that was elected directly the only candidate who would beat the greens i'd have bab al is don't know so why is this relative newcomer eclipsing the established big party heavyweights like the conservatives. shots from the social democrats. it's interesting not only to look at i have been available to her performance but look at the performance of her competitors i mean last shit he has been criticized for his management of the pandemic in the state that he governors

nor north rhine-westphalia and his party has been rocked by some corruption scandals connected to procurement of facemask and there has been some infighting between the conservative bloc in trying to decide on the nomination for the chancellor candidate so that has definitely brought down in the polls and if we look at all of shells from the social democrats he is not necessarily himself polling that bad in terms of how much germans are satisfied with his work but it is the party itself the s.p.d. that is dragging him down as a candidate. and suggesting that is so popular even though she has much less political experience than her. if you look at her experience in government yes she does and she has never been part of a government both at the federal at the state level but she does have political experience per se she is nearing a decade as a member of the german parliament she is

a foreign relations foreign politics expert and also a climate issue expert what is interesting is that their book as a new face may be what germans are actually looking for at this moment after 16 years of having an get america as a chancellor it depends how much germans are going to be ready for change come september julius are very thank you so much. so the u.s. and mexico are opening new talks to discuss shared issues in north america in the virtual meeting between vice president to come to harris and mexico's president and his men when love is over a door undocumented immigration was top of the agenda recent months of santa shopping crease in central american asylum seekers crossing the border between the 2 nations they fled from violence poverty and hardship in their home countries they don't need correspondent carolyn achieved point reports now from miami where she caught up with a hung jury and man he's cautiously building

a new future in his new home. 3 months ago we met says todd among. us mexico he and his family amongst others were sleeping on a sidewalk on the mexican side of the u.s. southern border they all fled from violence in their home country under arrest the moment. they threatened me and my family. we had no choice but to flee or. if the gangs have a problem with you. they will hunt you down the road and they will kill you. it was a dangerous journey that took them several weeks on food and by bus we're in miami florida now says or made it finally to the united states while he's waiting for his asylum to be approved he's working here at this barber shop. so.

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. they gates at least have pledged to continue their philanthropic work together saying they quote continue to share belief in that mission of the. small stories making news around the world will start in the united states where a 12 year old girl in the u.s. state of idaho a shot and wounded 2 students in the stuff member after school and she was disarmed
