9:03 am
doses to lower income countries. and the african union. our values call us to do everything that we can to vaccinate the world against coven 19. it's also in america self interest. as long as the virus raises elsewhere, there is a risk of new mutations that could threaten our people. we know that raging over 900 in other countries, holes back global growth raises in stability and weakens governments. but activists protesting the global inequality of vaccine access. believe that waving pharmaceutical patterns would be a more effective than charity. nowhere near reaching the vaccinating trans person really being the bins of a case and these hands with pharmacy companies own the things in the face produce
9:04 am
enough for everyone. and that's why we're asking for the manufacturing to be done by opening up the paintings and the rest of these sort of more qualified factors from, for just the i said with the g 7 leaders arriving all eyes will be on the leaders of the world's wealthiest nations to see how serious they are about helping the rest of the world get a grip on the pan demik. and d. w correspond alexander from nama, georgia. now from harvest bay england, where that g 7 meeting is taking place and he's under what issues are expected to dominate this gathering world leaders was front and center of this g 7 meeting is certainly the corona virus pandemic. and the urgent need to provide more vaccines for low and middle income countries. and bar is johnson. the british prime minister who is hosting this meeting here has already made clear his calling
9:05 am
on the average g 7 leaders to make a commitment to inoculate the whole world. by 2020 other issues very high on the agenda. of course the couldn't make recovery climate change and the relations with china in terms of systemic challenges that the world is facing. climate change is right up there at the top. you expect any major commitments by the g 7 they're i think that they are aware that there is a lot at stake. according to a recent study, the g 7 nations could lose up to 80 percent of the g d p each year. if they are not going to tackle climate change and especially from the use perspective, this is a very important topic on the agenda. they want concrete results. they are hoping that the need to, to invest in economy for the economy recovery to cope with the full out of the crew
9:06 am
. and i was pandemic. will need, will leads to more investment in green energy in green economy. and that is something that we are definitely going to find in the communicate after the conclusion of the g 7 summit. but it's still open. how concrete, those conclusions will be. g 7 members used to be thought of as the world's leading industrialized nations. that was case when i was covering g 7 summit. now they're described as the club of wealthy liberal democracies, which obviously excludes china. russia is effectively bored. is the g 7 becoming more ideological? alexandra? well i think that the g 7 has been facing a lot of criticism for years now. i also covered 2 g 7 summits. when the for me, you as president donald trump was attending. and at this time, it seems that you, that you 7 nations are in real trouble. and i think that this meeting,
9:07 am
he and cornwall is addressing some of the issues because there is this notion to extend to for much to include. although democracies, india, south korea, australia, and south africa were invited to this summit to discuss the global challenges. and also may be to forge a lions to counter china, increasingly aggressive behavior. alexander, thank you very much. that was the w alexander phenomena. so coven is sent to dominate the agenda at the g 7. but what exactly is the situation around the world right now with a pandemic? let's take a closer look. this map shows the average number of new daily corona virus cases per 1000000 people for the past week. the highest case loads are in latin america with hot spots in mongolia and parts of europe and southern africa. limited testing and reporting in some countries means actual case loads are likely to be much
9:08 am
higher, but there are huge discrepancies when it comes to the rollout of cobra. 19 vaccines on this map, the darker the color, the greater the share of the population that has received at least one vaccine dose . countries like canada, israel, chile, and the u. k. r, leading the way, but across most of africa, less than one percent of the population has been vaccinated. many developing countries, especially in africa, are still waiting for back scenes promised by the co backs international donation program. meanwhile, china gave 200000 doses to chad. this month, the 1st vaccine to reach the country where officials are trying to fight the pandemic with limited testing and treatment capacity. d. w. west africa correspondent fred maloney,
9:09 am
reports from the chevy in capital. jemina asks chad. has we put against the pandemic farm, but seen for at least 100000 people? not much for a population of 16 median, but it something this is the country's men testing facility in the only proper hospital. they have been fighting the crone of us almost rind. lustre just turned to call me the 1900 situation, was katie. at the beginning of a zipper, we tested the patient who came to the hospital and some of them tested positive. some of the health workers and other patients died, of course, 910 percent of this official figure show this done 5000 on evictions and fewer than 200 cope with 900 that your numbers are almost certain a higher testing and health care infrastructure is so poor that creek
9:10 am
infrastructure and putting tickets to be to they have to charge me at the bottom of the need for international, but feel help until the last 2 week when they coffee, the 1900 task force called sub ties from china cohen that he can you know fun when we received to see no fun vaccines, it was really great joy for us. and please, you will receive a hard way because peter games going to make patience with preexisting conditions. our priority officials know the chinese donation can only be the fast tape the fridge is ready for vaccine for you to come. a veteran with an in, under the covert program, if you would get those if that would like for it at least 20 percent of the
9:11 am
population of chad vapor. 5, lot of us are on the a few come for my themes, but many skeptical if origin more, if we had the means to get other buck fee records. but if we don't have the means, and this kind of take a look some more just because if the chinese vaccine doesn't mean the scene of maxime doesn't yet have a repeating or us approval. but the world health organization phase, it offers up to 79 percent protection in charge. people i used to taking what they can get and for the views on the pandemic from asia and africa join. now, by our correspondence tamisha jones, while in delhi and kamani in nairobi, let me show you 1st. india has been one of the countries worst effected by the pandemic. will this back scene offer from g 7 countries make a difference? any given the shortage we are facing in india,
9:12 am
any additional vaccine can definitely make a difference. but the question is how much of a difference the indian government have taken all the ambitious pledge of acts weaving. all that by the end of today, we would need to be manufactured to get to that and go back to the 9 factor that are not be able to meet those going to be the mission of the get off the bike. but you cannot the by and by going to book for any group of different machinations to meet you at a crucial point and get to an i'll go and get a got some light to pull back and other countries. edith, looking for plenty of countries there in plenty of countries, there just a tiny fraction of the people have received even one vaccine dose. is this donation
9:13 am
pledge of a 1000000000 vaccines from rich g 7 countries? is that the right way to tackle the problem? well, if suddenly stepped in the right direction, and this is suddenly what the health minister can set to be w when he spoke to us, saying that it will go a long way in helping african nation reopened economies. but let me show that you know how far and how fast is it up and we're talking about population of 1000000000 people. less than 2 percent of you mentioned have been fascinated. i myself being one of them. we don't know when the vaccination, even if you do come, it might not be until the end of the year when we finally inoculated namisha. just a month ago, india was breaking records with new cases and deaths nearly every day. where did things stand? now there my team thought him to bring you down, he gave him going down,
9:14 am
but even then we bought him and he told them every day off of the country that are struggling with the 5. i thought them not emphasizing push one back to nation once again and adapted bush to fight off. but again, the flies do mean loops that have to fight almost in a lottery system to put them to miss shortage will impact our ability to fight off the advent and even going forward distribution as india continue to also be a significant amount of marketing as well. talking about vaccine hesitancy is what about vaccines skepticism in africa? even if people could get a job there? would they be willing to go for work suddenly in the early days to get a lot more skepticism that will be missing right now. in fact, in those early days, health care workers who have the provision to get the job on what turning it down. but now we see a complete turnaround of events happening in india right now. people are literally
9:15 am
grumbling for the vaccine. my friend told me of an incident where she was told that there was somewhere there what job the 10 minutes from where she was and by the time she got there, there was a few people circling round the hospital and this included all the people who had to be that people were suffering from various diseases, pregnant women, and even young children. so the demand right now is exceptionally high, and obviously there is no supply. it is namisha. thank you. both. correspondence is kamani in i robi and namisha jives while in delhi. good to see you both. you're watching t w news still to come. move over row. no rush more, he comes mountain recycle, more and or to installation in cornwall reminding g 7 leaders of the growing threats from electronic waste. now let's
9:16 am
catch up on the latest developments in the corona virus pandemic, south africa has officially declared its 3rd wave of infections is the worst effected country in africa, accounting for over a 3rd of all recorded cases on the continent. health officials in the us are investigating higher than expected reports of heart inflammation in mail, teens and young adults after their 2nd dose of the pfizer and mcdermott vaccines. and australia is victoria state has reported 0 locally acquired cases for the 1st time in nearly 3 weeks as its state capital, melbourne, emerges from another lockdown well, here in germany, people are surveyed every month about the things that matter most of them and not surprisingly, the cobra 19 vaccine roll out is among their main concerns. strong majorities, 71 percent say they feel they are being treated fairly when it comes to receiving a vaccine. just over half think that ending the vaccination priority system for different groups was
9:17 am
a good thing. one contested issue though is whether or not children over the age of 12 should be backs needed soon. 43 percent say they're in favor. a slight majority though, or against or political corresponding jared read has been digesting these survey results in our parliamentary studio and joins is now. sure that the survey shows that people here in germany are now satisfied with the backseat, rolled out. but that wasn't the case. a couple of months ago, what changed their mind? hi terry, i guess it's been 2 things as you say, with the vaccine roll that it's in a much better state now than it was a few months ago. we're almost at the point where almost 50 percent of eligible adults have received at least one dose and nearly a quarter fully immunized here in germany. so we have that also a much better state of play when it comes to infections. they've been steadily decreasing over the last few months. today,
9:18 am
they are at 18.6 new infections 210-0000 people per week. this is really excellent when you just think back a few months how, how die a things were. and this is enabled restrictions across the country to be gradually east. i went out and spoke to a few people yesterday. they said it was a great white of their minds that they fought. germany was really heading in the right direction. a word of caution from chancellor angela mac, or she told a news conference yesterday that the corona virus has not gone away. and she highlighted the so called delta, very in team briefing that is spreading there. and she said it wasn't wise to remove all the restrictions yet because this music, this mutation could then spread a word of caution still from the chancellor. okay, well let's move on to politics now, which is also very much focused in germany right now. that's because the country is gearing up poor
9:19 am
a very interesting federal election that's happening on september 26 just over a 100 days from now. the latest poll shows that elections were held at this point. the conservative c d u. c su blog would likely give around 28 percent of the boat. that's 5 percentage points more than they pulled last month. the social democrats come in at 14 percent for a year at 12. as are the free democrats, the f t p. the left party are at 7 percent and the greens, well, they've recorded a big drop in support this month from 26 to 20 percent. but there's still 2nd at this point. jerry and what's behind the green parties drop in popularity? will terry one significant factor has actually been fuel prices. the green recently unveiled to proposal as part of germany's climate target study came in as the strongest potty in september. it would gradually but significantly increase fuel prices from the 2023. and basically that caused an outrage, all the other parties kind of piled in on the grains and accuse them basically of
9:20 am
being a party that ban things and makes things more expensive for everyone while i guess, conveniently, forgetting the fact that this idea is actually already part of the german government policy, but it seems that this messaging has stuck and, and we can see not only has the grains support being dropping, but also any increasing fuel prices is really unpopular with the german public. so there's been that issue, a few concerns around the chancellor candidate, anna lena bear boxy has been accused of possibly possibly being a bit lost on the truth when it comes to her. her c, v. and also it was revealed. she had to apologize off to not paying, not declaring a bonus paid to her by her party last year. so there have been some concerns around the greens that have affected this standing. they do have a party congress though, coming up this weekend. so i guess they really hoping for
9:21 am
