but then the young canadian rallied back just done, phaedra by winning the next tuesday. the 39 year old federal has one record 10 title at hallow and you're up to date alcove in 19 special is dominic with 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 off the 19th special next on dw, sometimes a seed is all you need to allow the big ideas to grow. we're bringing environmental conservation to life with learning like global ideas. we will show you

how climate change ended, our mental conservation is taking shape around the world and how we can all make a difference. knowledge grows through sharing, download it now. for me the drug companies say they'll be enough doses to vaccinate most of the world against covered by the end of the year. industrialized nations 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 fitly 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 and still waiting for vaccines promised by the callback's donation 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, 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 for petition of 16000000, but it's something this is the country's men testing facility in the only proper hospital. they have been fighting the crone of us almost rind. last to test the could be the 1900 situation was the carry at the beginning of a ripper. 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, the 19 percent and responsible official figures show this done 5 solved on evictions, and fewer than $2900.00. that the numbers almost sucking a higher testing and health care infrastructure is so poor that creek infrastructure and putting tickets to live near the bottom of the nice for international. but fin help until the last week, when they call the 1900 test for school supplies from china cohen that they're, you know, fun when we received to see no fun. but since it was really a joy for us. and you know, our center health way because peter games going to make patience

with preexisting conditions. our priority officials know the chinese donation can only be the 1st step. these fridge is ready for vaccines the year to come under the covert pull down if you will get those. it will have it at least 20 percent of the population of chad van for 5 love with us or for know if you come from but seen many skeptical its origin more if we had the means to get other buck feed records. but if we don't have the means, and this kind of take a look some of this because it's a chinese vaccine, doesn't mean uniform but seem, 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

from doctors without borders. nice to see you again. that report made one thing very clear. the vaccine 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 it was originally planned. so that covert could be an international distribution mechanism. then was on the mind by live by a natural deals that were made by the u. s. by the u. k. also the european union. and they basically bought up the vaccine market. so there was little left over for callbacks to actually distribute to poor countries. and now with the stock off expectations from india and the heavily reliance of the callbacks mechanism on the supply from the term institute of india receive. this is a great problem and therefore they're not many victims left over and in the report a test by the end of the year, 20 percent of chance will be able to be estimated through callback that is probably

a number that can't be reached at the rate the correct was going, so kofax doesn't what does it a does work in the sense that adults supply vaccines to the poor countries. what it does not reach its goals that as a test itself, or it was supposed to by june this year read $3.00 of the point percent of the populations. but it has only reached 25 percent of this. and as i said till the end of the year, cobra was supposed to supply $2000000000.00 doses of x seems 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 that europe and parliament called for a temporary waiver of payton, which would allow poor countries to produce their own vaccines. how hopefully you that, that will finally happen. we see now and talks and announcements that there are

more companies will be more open supposed to be more open for also more voluntary licensing deals. and for technology transfer, we hope that this can happen. fast studies have shown that within 6 months, technology transfer can happen. also for m r 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 we see, the distribution is on equal. and when we have more production worldwide, we will have less dependent on a few producers that we have at the moment. but elizabeth's ease found the giant's, i'm just going to give up that technology for free. ave. well, they have received billions of dollars and text text pay 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 saying in this case that have already been profit made by

companies like fi then by young kids like modern or they have made profits already . and now it's time to still put them make to have the technology shadow patients or ex, lift the patients so that there can be a scalable production. because as we've seen, we are not managing to reach the goal that we want to reach. and young 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 don't 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 panoramic well and already run it. and for everybody, i think that awareness was there for that. but i think a little bit, the numbers and the actions. we divide from that a little bit because we've seen now the past weekend, the g 7 have donations vaccines, but it's not enough. they're 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 the voluntary licenses. yes, the idea of being made but not enough for the global demand that we are 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 of 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 of 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 and needs to be a waving our patients, export fans, and sharing of technology and know how only then will we have foss scale up and moving team for people worldwide. faster 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 correspondent, derek williams. paul, the friend refuses to get his like seen 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. and 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 the 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 your religions are, of course, divided on the complex question of whether or not vaccines 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 a vaccinations minister around his companies that own vaccination center in tokyo.

something says it'll set up 15, others like it. it's not just for employees. so if our only 13 percent of japanese population has received a shot, tokyo is under a state of emergency just weeks before the games is set to begin. thanks for watching. stay safe. the enter the conflicts own with sarah kelly and i citizen cope with unemployment and inflation president hardy is getting attention for blocking twitter around for an a parents violent crackdown on protesters to call for an end to police violence. my guess this week from berlin is my jerry and ambassador yoseph gar. how does he explains the track record of this conflict? non negligence on d. w. fighting and sponsoring terrorism at the same time,

pakistan entry services intelligence agency. based games, as electron provides information about the country islamic radicals is the money it receives is probably funding new attack package in treacherous business with terrorism in 45 minute w o, the football fields, jewish life, that's what from producer on his own on, and journalists who are exploring, delving into history and the present. nice that i would never have thought that

could be live, so it's clearly jewish in europe. the 2 port documentary starts july 5th on d w. this is of course, most unfortunate. tragic is that the government's plan to punish the victims you want to highlight the negative stuff. even when there's new evidence, the government ban twitter. can you explain that most major as it appears a democratic system and government? nigeria has been making headlines for all the wrong reasons, lately, kidnappings and violence are on the rise in large areas of the country. and they talk of a spiraling security crisis and citizens cope with unemployment and inflation. presidents will hurry,

is getting attention for flocking twitter and for an apparent violent crack on protesters who call for an end to police violence. my guess this week from berlin is nigerian ambassador usa to gar. how does he explained the track record of this government? as he tries to attract and sadly needed investments to africa, largest economy, the use of acid or to go welcome to complex down. thank you for having me. nigeria is said to be facing a spiraling security crisis, terrorism kidnappings, inter communal violence dramatically on the rise in recent month has president to hurry, lost control. certainly not. he has not lost control. he has done a lot in terms of security. when he came into office in 2016 book, her on the north east was holding it about 18 local government areas. today. it

doesn't hold a single local government area. however, it does not mean that the violence being unleashed why a vocal around, for instance, has ended. so it hasn't continued to move and strike and, and run away. it's a very difficult terrain. so it's not surprising that it is stretched out, as indeed such conflicts stretch out in other countries. but mr. investor, when, when you look at the sheer numbers though, the situation does not appear to be improving. in fact, in the 1st 3 months of this past year, it's been reported more than $2800.00 violent killings around the country in the media. and there's also of course, the repeated kidnappings of school children. i mean, this is what really has been making international headlines in may, for example, more than 130 school kids, some as young as 7 years old, were kidnapped in broad daylight in niger state. what do you tell those parents?

this is of course, most unfortunate. it's tragic. it is not what we're hoping for. government is doing its best to bring this to an end. it's not been easy because of law decades of may lives in nigeria, that this administration is looking to correct. and the negative media report sometimes also few these acts of violence, the kidnapping, the terrorism. so it's the media's fault. it's the media's fault that there's an estimated $700.00 students kidnapped for ransom since december in your country. that's what i'm saying. certainly not. it's not the media's fault, but it has for the few of some of the violence as we've seen of recent. you have to bear in mind that nigeria is the most populous country in africa, the nation of 200000000 people. so certainly there would be i've

so violence, there would be all sorts of issues, particularly since we have endured years of, of, of under development, which this administration is looking to reverse. you mentioned that the government is taking action. i want to look at some of that action because the senate is considering making it illegal to pay ransom to kidnappers. is that the government's plan to punish the victims the parents in the face of the government's own inability to provide security for their children? what is the niger a practice is a democratic system of government, you have the principle of formation of power. you have an executive legislative, an independent judiciary, a bi camera legislature. so it's not every single action that is either

that should be attributed to either the president or the executive. benoit has several moving parts. it has several clogs in the democratic wheel. but mister ambassador, do you think that this is a useful law? does the president think that this is a useful law? do you think the parents, who fear for the life of the child could really be prevented from paying ransom by law from a government that is not capable of protecting the children in the 1st place? is this useful? we practice a deliberative democracy where is discourse and within that framework of discourse, we eventually come up with a position. this is how democracy works and this is what is happening in nigeria, which is the most populous country in africa. it's a country of 200000000 people, so you cannot just take decisions by see at. so you're not, you're not taking position on that, that's what i'm hearing from you. let's look at the overall. i'm allowing the

process to, i'm allowing the process to, to take its course. okay. let's look at the overall situation. a lot of these can, nothing's in violence. they're happening in the north, of course, the military there. let's look at their strategy there. regrouping troops into super camps or, or garrison towns where they wait to repel the attacks rather than go on the offensive against the militants, militants, for example, like, like, boca rom in their hide out. can you explain that what these perhaps some of the techniques and the strategies employed in a symmetric warfare which takes place in different parts of the world? niger is not unique when it comes to that. you have to bear in mind that you often take him on an invisible enemy that's continuously on the move. i'm sure. where in germany here i'm sure the, by the winehoff was taken on, you know, using similar strategies or the i a, or, you know,

several other insurgent groups and inter is groups that government have had to take on in the past. so why should niger be unique? but the point mister ambassador, is that we are looking at the situation specifically in nigeria and in nigeria. do you admit that it has left a significant portion of the population quite exposed to this particular strategy? i mean, you have the u. n, for example, saying that it's making it difficult to get internally displaced. people aid. you have leading security organization saying that these vocal rom factions that these affiliated, you know, and similar groups, are taking advantage of the space can created by the super cap military strategy. and they're moving around more freely. they're building support, they're building their networks. you have to bear in mind that this is a conflict that is taking place in a very difficult to read. as i said earlier, within a very complex cross border area where 4 african countries meet,

where there are hundreds of islands due to the receding leg. chad, so you know, it's not that straightforward. you can also, if you want focus on the reset the, the, the return of, of individuals that have been living in, internally displaced comes to, to towns and villages. that is all equally happening. so it's, you know, while, while some might be moving to internally displaced camps, others are moving back home. so it's a complex thing and it's very dynamic and it's for ever changing the state of your military's capacity is also in question. the senate has confirmed that massive recruitment procurement of equipment is needed for the security forces. resources are said to be stretched thin. so why has the government failed to even secure the best equipment for the military? i mean that the pledges from too hard to crush these armed groups,

aren't they just empty words? if you don't have the resources, we haven't been able to, as much as we want, because many of the manufacturing countries would not sell it to us. you know, we've had to contend with certain acts such as the lazy act and, and several others in countries and the negative propaganda sometimes that is unfairly used to label the niger in military as committing abuses and what have you and that is highlighted instead of the positive acts that should be associated with them. so again, it's the fault of others so. so just tell me then because i'd like to move on to another. what i'm saying, and that's what i'm saying. well, let me, mr. basket, are you saying it's very p on security? perhaps you can clarify for us, you know, what the priority is in the country. the priority is to address most of these

issues holistically and to tackle the root cause instead of the symptoms. this is what the niger and government is trying to do. so some of the root causes of violence of insecurity happened to be poverty, a lack of effective governors at the local government level. and this is what the nigerian government is trying to tackle. we have a social investment program, you could talk about it, it's a, it's a noble cause you could focus on something like that. certainly have to make the choice whether to buy, to spend more on on weapons or whether to spend on solving the issue of problems. and we're going to learn about weapons. many often, most often, we're not sold the ones that we need. and mr. ambassador, we're going to talk about the economy. i assure you, in our conversation. so we will be returning to that. but i just like to ask you 1st about the state of human rights in the country because, you know,

it's not just a tax in the north kidnapping. you have, you know, many hotspots all over the country. and in response to some attacks blamed on separatists, for example, in the south east, the military has launched operation restore peace to heart set on twitter. we have given the police and the military, the power to be ruthless, the power to be ruthless. what does that mean? just be what every country. every government believes that we're living in a world that is primarily defined by nation states, sovereign nation states and the sovereign nation states are meant to have the monopoly of violence. so that non state actors will not unravel such countries and unleash may him and death and murder and much in such territories. this is what every country does. but i think the concern among, among many is that there are these previously documented evidences of mass.

extrajudicial killings by securities in this region in particular. so the question is, when to hardy, says roofless. is that what he means? extrajudicial killings. it's happened before. that's certainly not what he means because he has used the same phrase with regards to the violence way by banded and by, by terry, by terrorist activities in north eastern nigeria in northwest and nigeria. it applies to the whole country. wherever you have non state actors, you see there's no states, if a country, if, if groups or individuals or power was that do not subject themselves to the jurisdiction of a nation state, allowed to dictate the course of political life

in nobody that that country sees this break this, but that's not what we're talking about. or we're talking about the approach, the military in terms of, you know, handling the secessionist movement and these, these particular groups that you are targeting. and she says you have a reckless and, and a trigger. happy approach to crowd control, and it's not only when it comes to this particular area. in fact, i'd like to ask you about another incident. there were reports of at least 12 civilians killed. one forces shot at police at people. protesters excuse me at lucky toll plaza in lagos, back in october. is this the strategy that your forces use to help calm protest peaceful protests in the country, shooting a peaceful civilians with live ammunition. ok, so unfortunately this report that i know you've done your homework, but unfortunately this report happens to be the very same reports that was exposed

to be untrue by none other than the state department of the united states. they had their own investigation and said the report was too well sir, i have not seen that before, but, but i have heard from you, sir. i have not seen that report, but i have heard from, from the un high commissioner for human rights, michelle bachelor, and she has a position of authority. as you know, she says quote, there is little doubt that this was a case of excessive use of force, resulting in unlawful killings with live ammunition by nigerian armed forces. the state department report is easy to access. you can google it online. it's that it's, it contends that that report that you're referring to is inaccurate and to date, that has not been any substantial proof just to show it to show otherwise. well, you know, your prove that little and then let me, let me follow harry pitts. it's easy to cherry pick and decide you want to

highlight the negative stuff, even when there is no evidence and you don't, you cannot use, you know, reports that i turned out. bye. bye bye bye bye, the. you know, the united. no. this is their thing in your country. they said in the incident witnesses that cctv cameras and lights were switched off shortly before soldiers opened fire on peaceful protesters. the un says this indicates a disturbing level of premeditation. your government has apparently set a panels of inquiry to look into. there's to look into other incidents by, you know, a group of your security forces which rights group say routinely practice torture. i just like to ask you, you know, how, how can the public trust that they will, that you will really get to the bottom of what happened when it seems as if you

don't want to really look at it, the nigerian nigeria and public, the overwhelming majority of the niger in public trusts that the government than i do and government will get to the bottom of it as it always does. but sadly, due to lobby is due to fake ends. you are due to fake websites due to the equity was created on social media where new jersey reactions follow such incidents the, the substantial segment or section of the western media and so such countries get the wrong, mr. mr. i'm allow this, subsist on it. mr. acid or i think we can both agree though, that there were protesters who were there and what they were there for was to protest against police brutality, especially from the elite unit called sars. which right,

i think because they were really dr. store dealers for sure. ill treatment, extra judicial killings. let me ask you, why were there no charges brought against members of this unit? earlier? these abuses are well documented itself was disbanded, the unit itself was be disbanded, but the evidence of torture conrade days, but not for you. you can't cherry pick what to highlight. sorry. excuse me. you can't fix what to highlight when it comes to digest. yeah, you are not in danger, or perhaps you are not aware that when this very same unit size was created in response to drugs in les was in the ninety's that this course of action was celebrated. so now it's our lives, it's use and when there were protests and complaints and comp and petitions,

president how much i read this binded. he brought it to an end. he did it, but then he created a unit swat in the same breath to replace it. so the question is, if you haven't addressed, if you haven't brought charges in the past, who can really trust that this new unit will be any different? and as you know, that is that is a question that a lot of people in your country in fact are asking because there's still judicial panels of inquiry that are taking place looking into these allegations of abuse. we're not saying we have a perfect police force just as is the case in most countries or in every country, i should say, you would have bad eggs that would do things that are not sanctioned by the government, but it does not. it does not mean that the only course of action is to highlight the negative and highlight mr. ambassador will create, may already be nigeria. nigeria operates

a democratic system of government. like i said. so what about some offers all the rule of law we uphold. so let's talk about the model. earlier this month, the government band, twitter. can you explain that move? i can explain it because the simple explanation is that niger, as i said, operates a democratic system of government. we've had 6 successive elections every 4 years and made since 1999. 1 of the the, the important the most one of the most important norms of, of democracy is freedom of speech which nigeria of holt's, which nigeria celebrates which idea protects. but you cannot use, you cannot allow that certain elements to use those democratic, mr. ambassador, i want to ask, why, so it or what the down wasn't it?

because the platform took down president to harvey's tweet for violating its abuse for me, their policy. and no that's, that's not the reason. the reason why it was shut down was because twitter has been airing, pictures, videos, and the vituperation of, of people that are looking to unravel. nigeria, which, well i know many people are looking at the situation and they are, is tweet with an in the, in the bernie later. what are what band is this, the proportionate response? and now we have the attorney general ordering the immediate prosecution of offenders of the federal government ban on twitter. so it's twitter users. now that your government is going to prize, i said your own citizens. that's why, as i said earlier, as i said earlier, sadly, regret regret to be this cherry picking approach, create the wrong narrative. you go back to 2019 you will see that further mama to

body has been consistent about the adverse effect of social media when it chooses not to be responsible, their real life, the real world. but the question is whether banding proportionate robots, wilbur ambassador? and right now 90 is the rank china and i just north korea, iran on issuing a ban on twitter. do you feel comfortable in the company? can i just make the point? i was trying to make, if you go back to 219 president obama to address the word the united nations general assembly. he spoke about the christ church attacks and the, the negative effect of live streaming of such violent acts and, and encouraging terrorist groups. and, and violent groups to,

to have that space within social media which spreads others on into acts of violence. this is no less different than that. so what has been consistent when it comes to that? but you are, you are forgetting what he, what you said in plenty 19 and just looking at his reaction was social media as a week after a very prominent politician was killed in south eastern nigeria. a few days after the i called a few days after i pub had bunce, electro commissions offices in the same region. mister ambassador, the reaction, please. let's look at the international reaction because canada, the e, u, the u. k, the u. s. they have all condemned this twitter band, i mean the, the u. s. as it has no place in a democracy. don't you need foreign investments to help build your economy? we need for an investment. we also need for those countries to be mindful of the

fact that i pub, and such groups have been engaging lobby firms like mike, you re, public affairs for instance, that it's paying $85000.00 a day to churn out, such negative stuff to, to go and a full court press on us senators and, and prominent people, prominent politicians so that they would create this negative narrative about nigeria and which is far from the truth. and those were on ground. know that. and the, for instance, the british high commissioner in missouri is aware of that because now she's on the receiving end. she's being threatened by the same. i pulled my number. you can the lead of april and mr. investor, i'd like to ask you because i mean what, what is clear is that the economic situation in the country is not good. unemployment has more than quadrupled sins to hurry,

took office more than half of young people can't find jobs. i mean that's, that's more than half of your population that is under the age of $24.00. and furthermore, nearly half of adults say that they plan to move to another country within the next 5 years. half of adults want to leave the country within the next 5 years. with whom do you plan on building the future of your country? with nigerians, as we've always done, we have an economic downturn just like other countries in the world. it's important to remember that we're living through a global pandemic. nigeria, unfortunately has dependent depended overwhelmingly on foreign exchange coming from crude oil sales. this current government is looking to diversify nigeria as a caller when the last general and economics with figures like this, do you risk

a lost generation? no, we don't. which is why we're where we've put our heads down and we're diversifying nigeria economy. if you look at the plans that we have in place, the national economic plans that we have in place that diversifying look at what is happening, look at the rights revolution going on in niger, i look at the foot, eliza blending that is going on in nigeria, look, as i said earlier, social investment program, look at the 2nd major bridge, look at the rail projects, look at the gas pipeline projects. look at what humans is doing with regards to electricity. these are the things that you should look you'd be looking at. look at also the media and entertainment sector. nigeria is one of the fastest growing when it comes to that. these are the sort of things that you become concentrating on. information and digital to acknowledge ambassador to that we have to leave it

there. thank you so much for joining us on conflicts down. been a pleasure. thank you for having the the who's who's
