10:07 am
politicians accusing the british we destroyed company astra zeneca of diverting promised supplies to other countries well let's get more now from our european correspondent peter oliver who joins us this even get even cheap peter quite a strong reaction then to this latest move by the. well yes governments are trying their best to get the infection and death rates from coded 19 down as much as they can and. they still remain high just about everywhere across europe despite those restrictions that we've seen put in place in the netherlands that here in germany as well that are in place. there's huge logistical headaches when it comes to getting the vaccine where it needs to go production slowdowns and issues with production means that just isn't enough vaccine out there to put into people's arms now the european union is said that it
10:08 am
wants vaccine manufacturers to inform brussels every time that a vaccine is set to leave the block well what that could mean is delays in vaccine shipments going from. where astra zeneca make their job in belgium to the united kingdom which of course left the european union at the beginning of this year that hasn't gone down well on the other side of the channel the british vaccine minister saying this was nothing short of vaccine nationalism back to nationals was the wrong way to go we've got to make sure we protect our own people and then actually you know put our you know leaning as far as we can to protect the rest of the world . well this solves really seems to stem from the fact earlier we heard from astra zeneca the british and european has some of its operations in europe as well pharmaceutical companies saying that the deliveries that would be coming to the
10:09 am
european union would be down 60 percent for the 1st quarter of 2021 now the accusation coming from the brussels side is that those doses the e.u. nations that the e.u. commission ordered to share among a you nations have been sent to the highest bidder that's something that the e.u. commission president on the line says can't be let the stand lash sums we're invested to build research cap acids and production facilities early europe invested billions to help develop the world's 1st covered 1000 vaccines and now the companies must deliver they must honor their obligations and this is why we will set up a vaccine export transparency mechanism make no bones
10:10 am
about it though there's a lot of pressure on the likes of ursula on the line the e.u. commission president she was the one that put forward this one for all all for one vaccine prick human program and which brussels would sort out all of the deals and then distribute the vaccines at the e.u.'s vaccine program has been sluggish best in comparison to the united kingdom it's pretty far behind compared to the likes of the united states it's also far behind and what they have done is made a promise that they will offer a vaccine to everybody who wants one by the end of the summer as it stands at the moment that it's looking particularly ambitious. ok thanks peter that was our peter all of the reporting. now despite an overall shortage of vaccines many doses of the pfizer job in spain have been wasted because the country lacks the special syringes needed to extract uses from their vials
10:11 am
a medical expert brought down the problem in a bit more detail. we have already talked about the 6 and even 7 those it's not possible with all the royals. we have to be prepared for that and use more expensive syringe is than usual it's a lot of money records more cautions. so i was 165000 says of the fires a shot i've been given so far in the cattle and region an estimated 10000 doses have been wasted and the shortages could have been worse to you had it not been for the fact that some regions do have the right needles while the country is going through some of its toughest times in the 3rd wave of the pandemic daily infection rates hit a new high last week salvador pedro again says the shortage of vaccines is amplified the problem. the main problem is that the number of vaccine supplied under the agreements in procurement of the european commission is still very small and i believe that until new vaccines are allowed their numbers will be significantly
10:12 am
lower than we and the rest of the european union members now the european medics in siege and see if changing the technical detail induces parampara soon as the labels changed they're going to give us 20 percent less those of us then we should have because any mistake means a loss of jokes i think what this really means is a 20 percent increase in prices. now there is one rule for us and quite another feeling that seems to be at least the motto of the u.s. in the governments the moment who are eagerly backing protests in support of jailed kremlin critic in the valley in russia while criticizing far bigger rallies taking place in their own backyard what it takes a look. the united states has come out in the strongest terms against the suppression of protests and against police prove let me try again the united states says it can deadens police brutality 8 other countries the united states strongly
10:13 am
condemns the use of harsh tactics against protesters and journalists this weekend in cities throughout russia prior to today's events the russian government sought to suppress the rights to peaceful assembly and freedom of expression i've go to ahead and put together a least a list of people in that disease that have the right to lecture others on police brutality so there's luas for example they knew this stuff right what's legal and what isn't there is the pope i'm not catholic but i haven't seen vatican security roughing anyone up recently than is yada yada oh oh there's no america in this least the very good reason there won't be defining there will be a dismantling of our police and they're not going to be any dispensing of our police our police have been letting us live in peace we can't give up the finest
10:14 am
law enforcement anywhere in the world is nothing like it. few people few countries have a record and trouble is right few countries have a police force that unhinged i didn't see anyone getting shot in moscow nor t.-a gas nor sprayed with water cannons but that was trump let's see what biden thinks about opposition protests what we witnessed yesterday was not dissent it was not disorder it was not protest it was chaos. there were protesters don't dare call them protesters there were a riotous mob insurrections domestic terrorists. stat basic it's. that said look nobody is ever again buying your lectures about police brutality the world has seen by in the mass not that it stops some from dr. to find this authoritarian drift is very worrying so there is france right in the
10:15 am
1st 3 months of the year of s. protests french police arrested $10000.00 protesters people died people will crippled last hours lost lives here gas and rubber bullets were used in france in industrial quantities and you know what macron is proud of the police do not speak of repression or police violence these words are unacceptable where there is rule of law then is germany demanding the release of all peaceful protesters detained in russia detained for peacefully attacking police peacefully punching traffic cops and peacefully destroying god's maiming drivers and marshaling kids 1011 year olds to attend violent protests germany itself has been rattled with anti lockdown protests and you know what the german officials and police did they dismiss them as loons crazies extremists and beat them around the head for good
10:16 am
measure the democrats a constitutional state is alive in the police or is protective shield a thing called the emergency services for this important service to a country that was a target not long ago when the world looked up to europe and america is as beacons of freedom and liberty the right way to do things but that beacon light has gone out there are no illusions anymore about europe or america being superior or better than everyone else the time for hypocritical lectures has passed no one can be bothered to listen anymore. i have a major teachers' strike is underway in france around a 3rd of all teaching staff were expected to rally for better conditions including . vaccine access and or say higher pay child had been ski was at the protest in paris. thousands of people turned out to this protest in paris to let the
10:17 am
government know that there are unhappy with the conditions in schools across france it wasn't just this protest in paris but this was a protest called by 6 unions including 2 the largest representing 3 quarters of teachers for a protest across france as i said this protest cooled by a number of unions in the same protest over a myriad of issues here in france not just the fact that they want higher wages and that they want better working conditions but also over this situation over 19 of the unions say they want teachers to be on a priority list to receive the vaccine and they say the educational inequalities of essentially why didn't since the start of the health crisis and they want to highlight the psychological precarity of students the financial precariously of students most of the teachers here they're the ones who work in the high schools
10:18 am
junior schools infant schools and they are still giving lessons and they say that not enough is being done to protect them let me give you an example there was a poll in december the found that 81 percent of the respondents felt that their situation was bad all very bad in terms of the protection that was being offered to them now we know that the minister of education announced a few months ago that they would be 400000000 euros more in the pot from john we teachers but we understand from some of the unions. of teachers will not see an increase in rise because of the extra money we know the president michel is talked about universities offering meals for $1.00 euro a day for students in the most precarious situation but the reality is that teachers across france don't feel that enough is being done and that the latest to come out in protest against the situation not just wages and conditions but also the health situation. they want more to be done to be put in place to help them get
10:19 am
through this current pandemic. now over in the united states the biden administration has unveiled ambitious plans to step up inoculations there's just one problem though they don't even know how many vaccines they have been as the story. bode infections in the united states have surpassed 25000000 and at this point hopes are lying with the new vaccine being rolled out now the new white house of joe biden is promising to increase vaccination rates and correct trumps mistakes but now things are going anything but smoothly at this point the federal government is admitting it's in the dark about how much vaccine supply is available i would say one of the biggest problems right now is i can't tell you how much vaccine we have and if i can't tell it to you then i can tell it to the governors and i can tell it to the state health officials across the country vaccination appointments
10:20 am
are being cancelled by the thousands here in new york city 23000 vaccination appointments have been cancelled spittles are running out unable to give new inoculations this has americans wondering if the new administration can deliver more time. is why. extends itself more people to argue for something which at this point is literally preventable they have the capacity to do $10000.00 vaccinations a day but they're only doing the $200.00 because they don't harm their girls and they don't answer supply it is playing out nationwide a hospital in virginia canceled 10001st dose appointments another in south carolina canceled 6000 scheduled vaccinations after it received only 450 of the doses it expected to get in hawaii another hospital was forced to cancel 5000 scheduled
10:21 am
appointments and put another 15000 requests on the whole state governors across the country are appealing to the federal government for help as frustration among the public is growing we have so many distributors we can't supply them all and you will see distributors who run out of supply joe biden set the goal of. 100000000 vaccinations in his 1st 100 days criticizing donald trump along the way for failing to achieve high vaccination rates this criticism was leveled by biden even though the numbers of 1000000 vaccinations per day had already been achieved by the previous administration reporters tried to pin the white house down about this not adding up none of us are mathematicians myself included so i asked her team to do a little math on this so the trumpet ministration date minister totaled about $17000000.00 shots that's about less than 500000 shots a day what we're proposing is to double that to about $1000000.00 shots per day at
10:22 am
his inauguration joe biden promised to turn things around when it came to the pandemic however since then it has been a short supply of vaccines chaos and government officials shrugging when asked how much is in supply the biden administration needs to pick up the pace and fast if not they could risk bringing an end to what would turn out to be one of the shortest honeymoon periods in u.s. presidential history kaleb oppen artsy new york medical commentary to dr john dombrowski told us the pre-election promise is done 2 ways to become a reality. that is a real disconnect between the government which is obviously the ultimate responsible and the suppliers so just pfizer mature and other suitable industry we should really be working hand in glove with respect to this pandemic that we have in across the planet i think what we need to do is ok let's focus on what the problem is now in terms of getting the supplier of these vaccines supply chain
10:23 am
working out and patients who need to go 1st don't 1st so that's nice to do a cheap shot but i think it's more poorly but what are we going to do today and tomorrow political promises that i mean on the campaign really don't pan out in terms of what you get behind the desk and you have to really deliver with these patients. rights groups have accused israel of dodging its pandemic to millions of palestinians who may have to wait months for vaccination israel's health minister explained where his priorities lie and as far as the vaccination is concerned i'm saying that it's there is radio 1st of all a promise to the citizens they pay taxes for their own the well the country is $1.00 of the world leaders at the moment an inoculation already immunizing one in 5 of its population against the virus but more than 4 knopf many palestinians are not getting the shot we got reaction on this from is right it's. according to
10:24 am
international law israel is responsible for the lives of all palestinians in gaza and in west bank yeah why not there are a human being would just like us we are in control you beef. territory and we should it take care of pollution as well there war kurz are a climbing gate on daily bases into ease rail and carry they travel here and so the whole population could be in danger it's true that these can be read favorite if you get the vaccine but shouldn't be on their own cause it also favors decided the old world would take to fix it but we shouldn't pay for it well we also heard from the great physicians for human rights and it says that israel does have a responsibility to help palestine. i know of a good place to live for you know with the kind of good work kind of compensation i find to see your folks nation back like them have their faults i'm trying to cross
10:25 am
that i'm not succeeding to get to them so nothing while he has read the books the nation goes very well and like to new people who are already folks who make it so it seems like this and you get the clue what's going on is fairly straight since i would see it in books in the kitchen and priority groups like chronic medical teams in the police in the end they're ok because they're not they lack of access i don't agree with what you mean instead i think it has been something they feel is that need. to clean and also from invesco. and that's it for now that brings you up to date with all the world news site fostered out here and i say will be back again next at the top of the.
