part of the world haven't been implemented in china and lots of people wondering if they are safe. but if people have a ride to learn, rally is. this is the job. and it's how i see. and this is why i love my job. because i tried to do exactly this every day. my name is jewel and i work at the w. 2 me up and coming up today, prevented by china from getting a vaccine timelines. presidency is chinese intervention has prevented the island from receiving the german developed by on tech maxine, but how true is that claim when i'm typing for answers and intimidation tactics for me and mars military and investigation and covers out who is using dead bodies to

silence pro democracy voices the news by british manager, welcome to deed of the news, a show. thank you for joining us. dive on has, for the 1st time directly accuse china of blocking a deal with germany's biotech vaccine developer for over 1900 jobs. biotech had contracted with the chinese company for soon to develop its cobra. 1900 vaccine for mainland china, hong kong, macau, and taiwan. but taiwan laws block the import of any vaccine from china and the ruling party meeting. on wednesday, taiwan president, sighing when said, and i thought we were close to completing the contract, but the reason the gentleman plant, but because the china is intervention up to now, there's been no way to complete it. china has denied blocking vaccines to taiwan

and it's offered to provide them to the island taiwan. as millions of those are the backseat, on order from astrazeneca, modena, so far, only about one percent of taiwan population has received a vaccination. now we contacted biotech for their response to sign. when's statement about chinese intervention? the company have this to say we do not provide information on any potential, a possible distribution of our vaccine. our goal at biotech is to make the vaccine available to as many people worldwide as possible. they don't look at a funding william yang join me from type pay with more on this story. william want us to when he's president saying, when mean when she says chinese intervention has prevented taiwan from acquiring the biotech vaccine. so according to her time, one has been trying to sign a contract with bio tech in germany directly to get at least 5000000 doses of the kobe vaccine. that was also according to the health ministers. revelation back in

february. but then somehow when both sides were ready to actually issue the official press release by a tech called and suspension of the whole process. and according to ken and also ty, today, china was the one that has been interfering with the whole process. however, they did not offer more details about how exactly the china tried to intervene or put pressure either on biotech or on time one. but the other very interesting thing that we need to take minus that there was actually an exclusive distributor for the greater turn of region for bias tech, which is a chinese company called futon in shawn high. they have an openly saying that they are willing to provide the biotech vaccine for time one, but because of one last to be an import of all chinese vaccines that has not been able to happen yet. you talked about time trying to negotiate directly with by on tech, and apparently they were quite close to finishing that deal before it was suspended

. what exactly is the problem with that given in keeping in mind, that biotech appears to have an exclusive distributor for taiwan already. so supposedly under the original agreement between bio tech and the chinese distributor, the chinese to distribute a should be responsible for all the deals. that's going to happen in the greater china region and that actually covers time one. but because of tiny ones, very sensitive, political nature and the law that bans all the imports of the chinese manufactured vaccines. even if the technology is using the biotech technology, which is why the time when he's government has been trying to directly negotiate the deal with bio tech in germany itself. and that according to time, one herself was the same way that time. one was able to reach the deal with astrazeneca and also my turner,

and these are the vaccine that are schedule or has already arrived in time one. but somehow in the case of bio tech because of the chinese, the distributor, and the potential involvement of chinese government in this, the, how many government has made a really clear that they are only going to from here this point on negotiate directly with the manufacturer or kovacs because they want to avoid any legal or political risk. where does that leave a tie? rod's vaccination program, which is so if i discovered about one percent of the population. right. exactly. so far the only existing and available vaccinate vaccine for all how many citizen is the extra the next one and there's only about. 2 410000, available so far, and time one has only vaccinated about 300000 of its citizens so far. and there are still millions of people waiting and because of the outbreak,

the concern and the need for raising the vaccination rate is really putting a lot of pressure on the government and the government yesterday. and today, according to the plan, there's going to be 2000000 more arriving by the end of june and also 10000000 back things be ready by the end of august. and that is also going to include some of timelines, manufacturer vaccine. but there's still a lot of questions about whether time one can actually reach this certain protection level before the outbreak can be brought down. correspondence william young in type a. thank you very much for that. ah, an investigation by the associated press news agency has revealed the manmohan does use of dead bodies to terrorize citizens into submission investigation and covers the military's practice of carrying away bodies of people, shot dead by security forces, oftentimes in broad daylight to instill a sense of fear among people actively say more than 800 people have been killed

since protest began in february against the military stake or of power. the investigation by ab looked thousands of videos posted on social media that documents, soldiers clearing away bodies, sometimes like sex of rice, in full public view. a quick warning. some viewers may find distressing some of the images in the following report. images like this circulating on social media, osha, something similar, security forces taking away bodies of people who were shot such unusual scenes have started to become a pattern. what is new is that this is taking place on the street and in public view. and it is intended to create anxiety, uncertainty and alarm among the population most effective

when it happens out in the open during the day, often filmed and shared on social media to verify these videos. devin loan uses satellite images and google maps to compare toko graphical landmarks. he also tries to track down the original source. so many people are retreating and re posting media that's originally circulated. and that in of itself presents a lot of challenges when it comes to verifying material. zoom in really close numbers at the human rights center investigation slap, which partnered with the associated press to analyze more than 2000 tweets and online images. the identified over a 100 instances where the military appeared to be using bodies of the dead wounded to inspire fear. the hunter did not respond to media inquiries. if

individuals were committing that crime can be identified, it put them at great legal liability in terms of crimes against humanity. in 800 people me, emma have died in near daily protests. families are calling for justice and accountability for their loved ones. and they hooked at one day, they'll be able to live free from fear themselves. so to me for more is 10 to know she's managing director of the bama and news international media network content. we've just seen a report on the whole task campaign of state, tara clearing away dead bodies in public view. what impact is that having on

protest in the country? i thought the case of the but environment it is not very new for them to see that all who teletubbies and cool and you meant treatments of the the hunter. so they know that this is happening and they witness the dead body being jack on the ro, publicly show. but the people do not, you know, do not back. ap continues with their fight against the military coup the hotel. so i, in one case like a, normally the military one tad, they try to scare the people by doing all sorts of things. but, but for me, i witness. and i also like very at my, with the lot the commitment and also all the motivation and grief. and that's not the people. so they know that they're like, you know,

they are working within their very thin lines that they can be kill anytime that they can torture. they're continuing with the, how did they protect the law? and also i, you know, i came back and the l as finding them so, so i think it is not very much like a impact teams. or maybe you may make it that the blog to withdraw from the but do people at all have to watch what they do? give us an insight into what goes through people's minds on a daily basis, being fully aware that dead bodies are being dragged away in front of them by the military. yes, of course, but it is quite a guarantee for many people. but that's because the from, you know, committed to coo, because this is the time that we really messed. and the minutes arises in the

country and, and i thought that we can enjoy peace and harmony. and i can live with dignity in the country. so somehow you know that, you know, people, many people are still in prison and also many that already they are close to death the rest of my time and they come up with like that, you know, without i mean the bodies and so many wounds. so i mean, like a close people have to be very cautious and as every step and every step that they're taking, any kind of like, if they cancel action against the military punter. so they have to be very careful . but they have, they have many. so they use, they are groups of people check team and what is going to happen. and then, you know, they always avoid any kind of like, you know, danger that they may think of coffee, right. is that the a very unfortunate that i'm faced with you know danger,

but in many cases that they can have ard and continue with their protect them. and if you could leave it there for the time mean, but thank you so much for joining us. tend to know, managing director of the bomb i news, international media network and can and there's more bits from the events in me and on our website build up dot com, forward slash a share. and you can, of course, follows as ever, on social media as well for back tomorrow. at the same time, we will see you then, bye bye. ah, the fight against the corona virus pandemic. how has the rate of infection in developing what those, the latest research they information and contact the corona virus off the 19th special on d, w to be on

the, on the as we take on the world. the, we're all about the stories that matter to the whatever it takes at least a month following the fire made for mines the the data show candidates 1st, those fast strategy is working. relatively few covered cases have been reported after one job and the hospitalization age has fallen. teens are also getting immunized. after i get my vaccine and i know that i'm protecting the people who are around me every day. but the opposition criticizes the government for taking doses

from the kofax facility set up to benefit poor nations, and not using the hundreds of thousands of astrazeneca jabs that other countries could make use of. ah, criticism got loud when it was revealed, candidates signed enough supply contracts to vaccinate every citizen 10 times over . we'll talk to a canadian doctor about that in a moment. first, more on the quest for naval love coming from the other side of the border with the united states. the there are among the unsung heroes of the pandemic, the truckers transporting goods back and forth between the us and canada. one of them is kind of driving from winnipeg in the canadian province of manitoba, right across the u. s. always driving into the hot spots and going to the trunk stops where there's guys from all over north america there as well too. we're all

within 6 weeks, sometimes. so surprisingly that we haven't been the one spreading it around. first, adam has to the death to pick up his load. this time is to take so friday the texas book comes out to wish him luck today. he's a very special trip for adam. it's going to get back to make it against coven 19 in the us. i'm actually quite excited about that. i've been hoping to get it for some time. no way wife has been faxing it already. first and 2nd because she works on at the hospital. so was hoping for a matter of time that i can get my supporter between canada and the u. s. has been closed for over a year. that truck is transporting essential goods have been allowed to cross, even without vaccination. but now health is waiting to the canadians in fargo.

the 1st major stop on the american side. people here happy to share. we have extra vaccine in north dakota. and so if people want to be vaccinated, i personally welcome them all to come and get it here. if they, if they choose sure, that makes sense. if they are going back and forth a lot and vaccines are available, you will get it to as many as you can. so why not? i think it's a good idea to get it out to. as many people as possible, canadian truckers can take the next highway exit and head the rest area where they can get bucks. and when they used to friday's, the relation comes just in time for adam. canada is currently in the grip of the 3rd wave and the risk, the truck is growing. adam has nothing but kind words. so his neighbors. thank you for for this cooperation series coming together like this for truckers

is a big plus for sure because sometimes it feels that we're the forgotten front line . for sure. the 18 canadians on us soil is the only way of getting around the us band on vaccine exports. next up, it'll be the teachers. here in north dakota, the america 1st mentality has given way to putting neighbors 1st known mcdonald is a professor of pediatrics in canada. as we heard in that report, we see truck is going across the board to get their immunization. although canada seems to have quite a lot of doses itself. how would you rate canada is vaccination drive in all actually it's been very good been week of the dose is that we've received and it's a large number. 27000000. more than 89 percent had been distributed to the provinces and territories across the country. and most of those problems just in

territories, more than 80 to 90 percent of our are already in arms already immunized. so you wouldn't agree with the criticism from a pro, and that there's been a portion that back seen intake in canada like some other. we see the countries as well. so we have more orders for vaccines than we have population. but whether all those vaccines will arrive is not even clear at this point. so it's an example. we've large order seen for modernity vaccine, but it's not coming as you know, there been real problems in the delivery of madonna. so candidates decision had been to order from a number of different countries, in case there were delivery problem. so it's always different what you've ordered and where you actually get and you know, if we were gonna look at who has had the most back seen, well, it would be israel by population. sho, canada. had it been a different strategy,

though, a single dose covered 19 vaccine strategy. is that working? i mean that telling some people to, to wait so much longer than others in some cases after 4 months. so what happened is the public health chief public health officer for british columbia was the 1st one who really push for the single dose. she was extremely worried. they have large numbers of seniors proportionately in that province. and she wanted to make sure that all the seniors, all those over 65 got at least one dose as opposed to waiting and to get any dose. and then that was picked up across the country. well, actually, she was really quite prescient because we now have data to show that with the vaccines that we have both the m r n a vaccine and the bio back to back scenes waiting longer than your 4 weeks actually is better because the 2nd dose is actually a boosting dose, your rates don't go down rapidly after you've had your 1st dose in canada. what

this is meant with our 3rd wave of cobit, we are not seeing senior people that are over 65, if 708090 in the hospital. those that have been immunized, they're just not there. be our average age are in the hospital now. it's in the fifty's with this 3rd way because in all the ones above it have been, well, i mean i stood my province and those between 75 and 7999 per se, and i've received at least one dose for not getting sick vaccines working another point of contention mosque policy. what, what do you think about that as far as people who've already had the buyers or have been vaccinated in terms of their b at what they can do now? is that terms of having yeah, there's been a big controversy about mass because you know, the center for disease control in the u. s. fed. if you've been immunized with 2 doses and or you've had disease, you're fine, you're good to go. you can go into

a restaurant or any bar or amusement parker sports event. kenneth has been much more quiet about this. number one is, most of our people have only had one dose. they'll have had a 2nd dose by the summer time, but only one dose. so far, 2nd one is how do you know who's had vaccine and who has not and this is discriminatory about your being able to do this because we do know, even if you had 2 doses, a backseat doesn't prevent you from being colonized and having a some dramatic infection with covert and then taking it back out into the community again. so our candidates being much more cautious in the us on a sidebar, did that the us thought that this might increase people's vaccine acceptance because hey, i could now do more things. if i was immunized, we've not used this strategy because right now, surveys have shown, well over 80 percent of adults in canada from 20 years on up want to get vaccinated

and a very high percentage already, or we're already ahead of the u. s. in terms of those who actually had one dose and vaccine, so we don't see it as the same issue as they do. and we don't think it's a really good strategy really briefly just a yes or no, no, you've had both jobs. your husbands had one jobs so far i've had one as well. if you finally see some sort of life at the end of the tunnel. yes i do. if you look at the countries where they have very high percentage for people like israel in the u. k who received that one or 2 doses vaccine. they are not having the same problems with the 3rd wave of cove it and there will be a 4th wave and probably a 5th way. so yes, it's really effective. mcdonald, thank you very much for being on the show today. you're welcome. now he's a vi question. no, no touched on there. let's see what derek has to say about it. call.

if you are fully vaccinated, can you still carry the virus and spread it to others? this issue has really been top drawer concern among health authorities for months. but we now know that so called break through cases, which is when someone tests positive for coven 19, even after full vaccination, that they are actually really quite rare. we also know that many of the authorized vaccines are extremely effective at preventing serious disease in those rare breakthrough infections. a number of studies have confirmed that if you're fully vaccinated, the chances are more or less 0 that you'll be hospitalized or die from cobit 19. if you end up contracting at anyway, still the worry about vaccinated people catching and possibly transmitting the virus to others. that's persistent for months while the data has slowly built up

about exactly how much of a danger they really pose for the centers for disease control. in the u. s. the data is now convincing enough to have real world consequences in a move that took a lot of experts by surprise, america's public health agency earlier this month, changed masking guidelines. it now says that fully vaccinated people can feel free to go without a mask in most situations because of those studies like this one from israel show that the number of breakthrough cases is indeed very low. and the chances that those individuals might transmit the virus to others is extremely low as well. that's kind of an about turn and it's really start some controversy. some experts don't like it or agree with the agencies decision. but i think it's fair to say

that the evidence is quite strong. now that if you've been vaccinated, fully vaccinated with one of the highly effective vaccines and waited for a couple of weeks, then you're unlikely to carry the virus or, or to spread it to others. for at least a few months after vaccination, me derek williams and ben fizzle. and thanks for watching. stay safe and see you again the the me the news
