the, you know, we are not afraid to capture and delicate the african population is willing to try and young people clearly have the solution that belongs to 77 percent. now, every weekend on the w, the me this is 11 years a show coming up today, polio vaccine, it has gone down in dallas. and it's the 2nd attack on has work as dcf. why does it keep happening? and what impact has it has on the for your immunization program? we offer a top unicef official. plus i've got assigned is also dealing with a search uncovered 19 cases. it's a 3rd wave that stretched health infrastructure to breaking point. the captain

reading program that's improving shots numbers in thailand's waters. the news i'm british manager. welcome to the program. fletcher could join us on identified gunman shot dead. 6 polio workers in eastern have gone on tuesday during a polio vaccination drive. police in the province of none. the hot blamed the taliban for the attacks. the group has denied responsibility. the latest killings come just 2 months after 3 female polio work as well killed in the provincial capital, july above. also, during a polio vaccination drive, the stomach state group claim responsibility for that killing. i've got a thought is one of only 2 countries in the world which has yet to eradicate polio . its neighbor, pakistan is the other a life cut short while trying to save others.

this polio worker has become another tragic statistic in the war. torn country was not listed. government hires vaccinated, but cannot protect them. vaccinated receive only $4.00 a day. i lost my brother. what should i do with this government now? the one that took the wounded now for for their lives in hospital police say it was a coordinated attack. the vaccination teams were watched and hunted, gunned down in 3 different locations over 2 hours. today we started work at 8 o'clock in the morning after half an hour i heard the sound of firing. i wasn't near the victims at the time, but then i ran to them. and so they were dead and lying on the ground. i didn't see the attackers visual

polio have yet to be eradicated in afghanistan. many people are suspicious of vaccines. religious extremists believe there are a western tool to sterilize muslim children or collect intelligence. after the attacks and none get her a 4 day vaccination drive men to reach more than 9000000 children have been called off. instead, there will be funeral preparations and mourning for the victims their work left undone. joining me for more now from kabul is godwin men, dr. eunice, s deputy g for for your immunization in of gone it's on mr. mins are welcome. why i'll polio worker is being attacked in i've got a son. thank you for having the on this interview and, and greetings from a guy. and then i would like to i saw our condolences to the

front bank. well, not yet to be in 5 coordinated attacks. we had big lives lost and were aged. we have unnecessary loss down, so we condone with the relatives and then their siblings and for the program to we, we started with the list like why, why the targeted i cannot tell. but i would like to to, to say that the safety and security of our front, my work as a, it's the parity of the program. we would need to go out there and interact and busing, children in a very environment. but this is not the 1st time, so i've got to start,

but there's not the 1st time that vaccine it has all been doggett and in fact 3 female backs and it says were killed in march itself. it's true yet in much we last read female 2 similar types in the same in the same region. and it has happened again yet. we sat in by this happened but we, we still believe that it's important to get out there and we being targeted. but surely, there, you must be looking at why this keeps happening, because surely that needs to determine how you move ahead with this program. that's great, and that's why for much to do today, we have been working with the government and we're involved in the national children will understand why pre female is more tact and killed in

in march. and we are working with the government in the same way today. and in the future, make sure that need to go. so for instance, we, we are working with the government understand why just are targeted, why we lost my ongoing investigation. we will probably get to the government under security classes understand how is this impacting, how are these killings impacting the polio drive and the ground is done? it is sad to see life last when people out there to do a good that they're supposed to deliver, especially when day out at the new function nation that will protect children from cripple into this for you and event basis. so it's, it's do moralizing the energy,

the momentum that we have developed so far to reduce dependent abilities that countries experiences portfolio children. godwin means speaking to us from travel. thank you so much for joining us, sir. thank you. thank you for having me. and the government wants to knock, let at least 9600000 children in the country with the help of yourself. and whether that happens now, given the violence, all your workers are facing is an open question. but polio isn't the only health concern the country has. the corona virus pandemic is making its presence felt as well as some health care system is overwhelmed in the midst of a 3rd wave of coral, nevada cases. medical oxygen is running out and vaccine supplies a whole new, inadequate. a situation that has left many in the lodge this hospital in

kabul has had to close its doors. no more admissions. it's full, as are the cities, other main hospital cove in 1900 patients line. the rooms are struggling to breathe, kept alive with oxygen. that's in limited supply. a moment i g and the number of patients is high about 40 to 50 patients who need to be admitted come here every day. but unfortunately, there is no more room for them for that. with hospitals full, a persistent shortfall of oxygen and a general failure to adopt precautions like masks and social distancing. afghanistan has entered its worst period yet. of the panoramic. for those turned away by doctors, it's a daunting task to get treatment. there's desperate demand for oxygen. families of the sick gather outside production plants hoping to get their cylinders refilled before it's too late. bother muddy that my father is sick and may

only have oxygen for another hour or 2. i brought a small cylinder here to fill up with oxygen for him. but we have a problem here too, because some cars bring 40 to 50 cylinders and those are filled up very quickly and we won't get our turn to be on a mac. and i didn't know about the oxygen crisis. and gamma stand mimics the shortages that nearby india faced weeks ago. and some would argue, was foreseeable. the acting minister of public health was summoned by law makers for an explanation on monday. the appeal is out for international aid. but supplies are still low. those who want oxygen now have to pay dearly not that doesn't make and i came here to fill my cylinder with oxygen because there's no more room for patients in hospitals. i bought the cylinder at a very high price, and it's very difficult because we make an appointment here at 10 o'clock at night

. but it's not our turn until 10 o'clock the next day. rights groups have urged the government to procure more oxygen and vaccines. so far, only 2 percent of the population has received jobs. and years of war has already weakened the health care system. that's now one of the world's most unprepared for the pen. demik was the thailand is working to replenish fish populations in its waters in one program, divers, releasing young bamboo sharks that have been bred in captivity. according to the read list prepared by the international union for conservation of nature or the are you see in the numbers of the small sized shock species have been in decline beneath the surface of thailand's warm waters that especially prepared spot on the sea bed. it's time for another crop of baby bamboo sharks to learn to fend for

themselves. our number. we dive down to the ocean floor to release the sharks in a safe area. this is done so that they have better chances to survive than most animals released on the surface. because if we release them on the surface, they're more likely to be eaten by bigger fish shuttle up or swim away from the sheltered area that might do by. i don't know who i live, and yet when you saw the project has so far helped hatch nurse and deliver more than 200 bamboo sharks to the gulf of thailand. in hopes of getting them off a list of threatened animals. too many people enjoy these sharks in their home. aquariums are on a dinner plate. so thailand's department of fisheries patched a breeding program and not be in yet we have more rags than last year and have experienced success in hatching them. so now we have a more baby chart to release them last year and model those shark

eggs are carefully cultivated with the next generation still inside workers at the program, carefully cut the egg open and release another baby, bottom feeder. the hatchlings then spend a few months growing, swimming and acquiring a taste for shrimps, until it's their turn to leave the confines of their youth. be set out into the wild ones. and it's hoped find a partner to make more baby sharks. that's it for today. there's of course going on website dot com, forward slash a show. we leave it today with pictures of the thoughts for her in india,

which has to be opened to, to us today to months office for shut down because of the panoramic. rebecca, the same time tomorrow was to them by the news . the fight against the corolla virus pandemic. how has the rate of infection been developing? what does the latest research say? information and contact the corona virus. because 19 special next on dw,

you feel worried about me to neil post office on the greens and proposals. and to me is clear. we need to change the solutions or out and join me for a deep dive into the green transformation for me to use for the the drug companies they, they'll be enough doses to vaccinate most of the world against covered by the end of the year. industrialized nations and way ahead, but out of the one and a half 1000000000 shots given so far, only point 3 percent has gone to the globes poorest countries. very plentiful vaccines of fiddler to make and challenging to transport. then there are the

politics and money. experts warn it's bad for everyone if only a fraction of us are protected. many developing countries are still waiting for vaccines promised by the co vaccination program. china gave 200000 doses to chad this month. the 1st i seem to reach the country where officials are trying to fight the pandemic with limited testing and treatment capabilities. the w west africa, corresponding friends who need reports. i to ask chad has we've been against the pandemic scene of the scene for at least 100000 people. not much for a population of 16 median, but it's something this is the country's main testing facility in the only proper hospital. they have been fighting the crone of us almost rind

lester. just turned to cover it. in 1900 situation was katie. at the beginning of a zipper, we tested patients who can post and some of them tested positive. some of the health workers and other patients died of course, 19 percent in this pump. official. if you guys show this done 5000 on he fiction, i'm sure done 200 co with 900. that your numbers almost up to a higher testing and health care infrastructure is so poor dot creek infrastructure and deploy tickets to be, to charge me at the bottom of the nice for international. but fin help until last week, when they call the 1900 task force called sub ties from china. cohen, c fan, you know fun. when we received c not fun but feeds. it was really

great joy for us. and please, you will receive a call to work because peter grims going to make and patients with preexisting conditions, our priority officials know the chinese donation can only be the foss tape. these fridge is ready for vaccines yet to come under the covert program if you would get those if that would like for it at least 20 percent of the population of chat with us. for now, if you come for my scenes, many i skeptical its origin more if we had the means to get other back, feel records. but if we don't have the means, and this kind of take a look some of this, because if the chinese vaccine doesn't mean uniform, but theme doesn't yet have a repeat or us approval. but the world health organization says it offers up to 79

percent protection in charge. people i used to taking what they can get this message is from doctors without borders. nice to see you again. that report made one thing very clear. the back thing distribution is totally unequal. what's the main problem in your opinion? i think the main problem is that the distribution through co, back as opposed originally planned, so that colbert could be an international distribution mechanism that was on the mind by live by natural deals that were made by the u. s. by the u. k. also the european union and they basically bought of x t market. so there was some little left over for kovak to actually distribute to poor countries. and now with the stock of expectations from india and heavily reliance of the callbacks mechanism on the supply from the ceremony. institute of india, we see this is

a great problem and therefore they're not many victims left over and in the report, ted, by the end of the year 20 percent of chance will be able to be vaccination through callback. that is probably a number that can't be reached at the rate the correct is going. so kofax doesn't work, does it a does work in the sense that it does supply vaccines to the poor countries. what it does not reach is goals that as a pet itself, or it was supposed to by june this year, read $3.00 of the point percent of the populations. but it has only reach 25 percent of this. and i said till the end of the year, cobra was supposed to supply $2000000000.00 doses of vaccines as looks like now, only half of that number will be reached. production is obviously a problem as, as we've mentioned a few days ago, european parliament called for a temporary waiver of payton,

which would allow the poor countries to produce their own back things. how hopefully you that, that will finally happen. we see now and talks and announcements, then the more the companies will be more open supposed to be more open for also more voluntary licensing deals and project knowledge transfer. we hope that this can happen. fast studies have shown that we've been 6 months. technology transfer can happen also for m r and a base vaccines. so we urge countries, but also companies to quickly tech transfer so that we can have a scale of off production. because as the see, the distribution is on equal. and when we have more production worldwide, we will have less dependent fees on a few producers that we have at the moment. but elizabeth, the found the giants are just going to give up that technology for free, ave. while they have received billions of dollars and tech tech pair of funding and public funding. so i think at this point it would be key to

share the technology that has been also developed as in the case with m. r a also with public funding. so it's something that we are saying in this case that have already been profit made by a company like fi, then by young, like modern or have made profits already. and now it's time the so we'll put them in to have the technology shall be paid and i actually live the pace and so that there can be a scalable production because as we've seen, we are not managing to reach the goal that we wanted to reach and yeah, people in poor countries are waiting for the next team. so government needs to put pressure on these companies. i mean it, with governments that did these deals with these companies and gave these companies out taxpayer money. why do they see the problem here? i think we see a little bit of a divide between the rhetoric and the words being used and saying the pandemic will and only when it ends for everybody. i think that awareness is there for that, but i think a little bit the numbers and the actions divide from that

a little bit because 15 now the past weekend, the g 7 have donations vaccines, but it's not enough. they have announced a 170000000 doses. the w h o has responded and said, thank you. that is a good effort. but actually we need 11000000000 doses. so we see there is a divide in the action and also with voluntary licenses. yes, that are being made, but not enough for the global demand that we're seeing. you mentioned the tech transfer that has to happen the licensing problem. there's also the export band problem, india being such a big producer. what need to change their i think all these, all these hinderance, all these barriers for more global production and global distribution needs to be worked on and they need to be lifted because there's no such thing as only the peyton barrier needs to be lifted. only the export band needs to be lifted. there needs to be a combined effort of all these things that needs to be waving our patients,

export bands and sharing of technology and know how only then will we have a fast scale up and more big team for people worldwide, faster suitor from doctors without borders. thank you very much for being on the show today. thank you. time for your questions on the corona virus. over to our science corresponded derek williams. paul, her friend refuses to get to thank seem because he believes fetal tissue was used in that department. this is true, this topic is a really tricky one to talk about and there's plenty of room for ethical debate. but, but i want to just focus as much as possible on the science. i'm 1st of all, let's get one associated social media rumor out of the way, coded 19 vaccines. do not contain fetal cells or fetal dna. those

are not components or active ingredients in any vaccine. however, what are known as fetal cell lines has been used or are being used in different ways for the development. and sometimes the production of various vaccines. a fetal cell line is a line of cells that was established in the past from an elective li aborted fetus . that can be propagated in the lab practically indefinitely. the cell lines used for over 19 vaccine production and development were 1st isolated many decades ago. now that these cell lines have been used as tools in the development of covert 19 vaccines should not, in, and of itself come as much of a surprise to anybody. fetal, so lines have been used for well over over half

a century to develop and produce a wide range of vaccines for other diseases from, from hepatitis to chicken pox. and those vaccines have prevented a huge amount of suffering and death. critics of methods that employ fetal cell lines say that more should be done to promote alternative systems. proponents, on the other hand, argue that other systems are less effective. leaders from the worlds may religions are, of course, divided on the complex question of whether or not back seems made with the help of beatles cell lines are morally and ethically acceptable. but, but many of those leaders, while ambivalent about such vaccines have also not prescribed me. and japanese companies are helping out with the country sluggish vaccination

drive ahead of the olympics. they had of stuff with himself. bank has been showing the vaccination minister around his companies that own vaccination center in tokyo . something says it'll set up 15, others like it and not just for employees. so if are on the 13 percent of japanese population has received a short tokyo is under a state of emergency just weeks before the games is set to begin. watching, stay safe. the the news. news, the news
