africa. the european union also plans to deliver more than 100000000 doses of vaccines to the continent this year. many african nations are struggling to secure vaccines on the global market. and south africa is entering a 3rd wave of infections or correspondence. out of the increase reports from durban . it looks like the arrival of ahead of states, but it is actually just the delivery of $316.00 doses to an inoculation site and do have been hundreds of eligible senior citizens over the age of 60 have been waiting since morning. i'm not happy at all. it was because most of them has lost their lives. so that is how you came here. so there to get that noted for there to prevent it. i think we're all very excited about least getting into the into line yet and getting an oven done with. and then we can get on with our lives again. less than 2 percent of south africans have received the depth so far,

not even $1000000.00 people. many south africans are not happy about this low roll out of the vaccination program, but the government says they simply cannot get their supplies earlier because of the massive global demand. and also because many industrialized countries secured themselves huge quantities of vaccines, south africa has ordered vaccines for 75 percent of its population, but only a fraction of that has arrived in the country. this is why french president emanuel mcclung and german health minister in span of visiting south africa to support technology transfer and the establishment of regional manufacturing centers. friends committed up to 500000000 euros. germany will invest up to 50000000. we have very keen to support and cooperate in this area with other countries around the world. we think it is very important that we can make it possible that everyone

on the world that wants to be vaccinated can get vaccinated to be on the safe. when everyone is safe, we have an opportunity south africa has been a leading voice, speaking out against lack of mixing access for poor countries and demanding and intellectual property waiver for over 900 vaccine. and on this we are not going to retreat. because for us to retreat means that we say our people's lives are not worth much the lives of people with a great deal. and we do this because we want to save our people's life. and we therefore wait to continue insisting that this wave should be there so far, not a single vaccine is produced in south africa from scratch. only one covered 1916 as popular manufacture tear filled in vials and distribute it. experts say it will take a long time to create the necessary capacity time, but south africa doesn't have infection. rates have been increasing in the past days. the country is going into a 3rd wave and people who are under the age of 60,

still not sure when they will be able to get inoculated. and d, w correspondent, out of hand. please, who filed the report and joins us now from pretoria. good to see you fan. so france and germany say that their plan is going to booth vaccine supplies in africa more effectively than a patent waiver. but how is that supposed to work? well actually i would say all sides are on one page when it comes to the target to come come up with more vaccine manufacturing capacity here and to the transfer of skills and knowledge and technology in the end of the day. the big question is, how are they going to achieve it? and this is whether the difference comes in the german site. in particular, it says mainly we have to achieve it with incentives for the companies that should work together with local companies. so we can come up with financial incentives, also create an environment that makes it easier for them to invest. the south

african side agreed to that to some extent, but they say things are just going to slow. and this is why they've been pushing for this patient waiver and president obama puerto yesterday emphasized once again that they are not going to retract on that they still see that as a key step. interestingly, the french president kind of supported yesterday surprised me saying yes mister president, we are behind you on that also on the pet and waiver if this is necessary. so he kind of kept the door open with it. germany on the other hand, still keeps the strong position against the patient waiver. they say this will not change anything on the short run. all right, well let's talk about how africa could potentially profit from this plan to do spec that can production over the long term. what kinds of advantages could that bring? i mean, this is all the long term plan, right? it is not possible to invest a few 1000000 set up a factory and then in a month or so, you can have value with 960 on the ground. this all takes longer,

especially because of the transfer of knowledge. it is a long and complicated process, so this whole thing is thought for the long run, for vaccines, only when it comes to coven, but also for other mixed things on the company content. and so 599 percent of the vaccines that i use in africa are important. so this is obviously a problem, but also an opportunity for countries on the continent to manufacturing various markets. so the question is, will they be able in the next 2 years to, to set up enough manufacturing capacity to supply to that market? and yet, of course, we're seeing the pandemic spreading in south africa in particular. you mentioned, it's looking at a 3rd wave. what is that country and other countries in africa doing to secure supplies before they can actually produce their own vaccine? south africa already ordered vaccine for 75 percent of its population, but only a fraction of this is the key problem. they just don't get enough from global

markets, and this is what the president of south africa. yes. so they also complaint again thing we want the vaccine. we put chase them already. but some countries are still making sure that other countries, the poor ones do not have access at this stage. and he really called out and that he said, this is the vaccine apartheid that flora nation do not have been experts, although they really need it. so this is definitely a big issue here, and it is of course, the thing that you can debate about it in germany. we're talking about vaccinating children now. where is people who are younger than 60, but have co morbidities have no idea whether they will be able to get of this year? at least in pretoria, thanks so much. let's take a look now at some of the other developments in the pandemic, the world health organization has called for a separation of politics and science in the search for the origin of the virus. the w. h o top emergency expert said the search was being poisoned by politics,

climbers at mount ever a say there have been dozens of cases at the base camp. a new wave of infection has hit nepal, but authorities are yet to acknowledge a single case on the mountain. and poland has eas locked down restrictions. many restaurants have reopened to diners after the country reported a steady decline in cases. all right, let's get you up to speed as some other stories. republicans in the us senate have blocked the bill that would have established a commission to investigate the salt on the capital. on january 6th, only 6 republicans joined democrats in supporting the commission. others express fears that the commission would become a political weapon against them. not agreed to columbia. president yvonne do k, says he's deploying the military to the city of cali and the surrounding province. the region is an epa center of anti government protests that have ross columbia for the last month. 4 people died in demonstrations in and around cali on friday.

a horror movie. farmers are desperate crops inside. then go and then taking into the crop, nate and it doesn't lead to come up or as it just doesn't come out and poke the head through the soil that just been bought in the heads of bought in the tip. so from this phone and then if there isn't a massive calling of the road and soon farmers associations are warning the pled could go on for 2 or more years. or also a have applied to the federal government for emergency approval for a poison that is 4 times stronger than anything that's available on the market at the moment. a product that he's currently illegal in australia because it is so toxic. and we're having to go down this path because we need something that is super strength. critic say the poison could have unintended consequences on other wildlife. last years. wet weather could be

a reason that the most population has exploded. environmental and animal rights activists are calling on the government to invest the time and money now to research alternative methods for solving this problem and preventing the next infestation. and that's the latest on d w news. stay tuned for arts and culture and i'm married ever seen. i'll have another update for you at the top of the hour for me and the entire team in for lynn. thanks for watching the news. tips for your bucket list. the momentum spots perfectly and some great helpful memorial to double your travels off. we go.
