this is the biggest trial of its kind in africa. we have a lot of data showing the effectiveness of this vaccine. it cuts cases by nearly half in young children. glaxosmithkline says they will submit this data to the european authorities, the ema, next year. i think is significant it will be next year because although the state is very good, we still need to know quite a bit more -- we need to know longer-term, beyond a year, how long this vaccine will last. because some data provides it just has 16 protection -- 16 month protection. next year we will find the results of a boosted dose. that is not unusual for vaccines to need a booster dose. once we've got that, i think the ema to make a decision. and i think this would get a license, but it will be up to

the world health organization. some say with all this data, is this good enough? is it enough of a hit against malaria to roll this out? >> the point about this, so in the trials, almost half benefited from it. you may need a booster. what it suggests is it can't be the only tool. all of the other things people are being encouraged to, having the net over beds and so forth, all of that is still key. >> very much so. children in africa or southeast asia are going to be constantly exposed to malaria over many years. so vaccine that has protective notfor your to is obviously -- for your or two is obviously not going to protect someone all-time childhood. things like the bed nets, which will last five to seven years, something like that, are also really important complement three methods of controlling

malaria. it, the billstand and melinda gates foundation has been involved with it. clearly, they see it as a development old tool -- developmental tool. will the people who need it most, some of the poorest people on the planet, will they be elegant this vaccine? made it clear they will make it cost effective. very, very cheap. the gates foundation has given billions and billions of dollars of aid, and are committed to this. it is useful to note, there are around 20 valeri vaccines in development. this is by far and away the most advanced, but there is a pipeline now. this isn't the end, but a process. within the next decade, and i will be as vague as that, we will have a vaccine. it will be truly remarkable.

some people said it couldn't be done because of this unusual lifestyle of the parasite going to the liver and takes about a week to go through. it is very difficult to tackle. incredible research has gone into this. >> what does it tell us, this cooperation between the commercial organization of glaxosmithkline and having the bill and melinda gates foundation? is this a way forward for other disease -- treating other diseases? >> i think very much it is. there's often arctic chill your market failure in global health. they don't see a market to be made. it really needs a philanthropic goal organization to build to work in partnership with them to take these products forward. >> what is the guarantee? i know they're going to try to sell at five percent above cost, but what is the guarantee will stay like that? >> that is a good question. i think the pressure is on drug

companies now to produce drugs that are useful and to show their public commitment to health really will mean the price is likely to stay low. , publicat all it is pressure, is that the only thing that will keep the price down? has made ahink gsk commitment and others have almost philanthropic arms to the developed world. we have seen a big increase in that. bill gates and melinda gates had been central to focusing the minds of these multimillionaire ceos to say, look, come on, the fate of tens of millions, hundreds of millions in the world, the poorest people depend on you. i think that galvanize that. >> thank you both for being with us. now in news, australia's richest woman has been taken to court by two of her children who claimed

they voted against a ban on slim cigarette, but they have voted in favor of a ban on mental also gretz that it would only come in -- menthol cigarettes, but it would only come into effect after several years delay. they voted for a role which would mean 65% of cigarette packets would be covered in health warnings. the proposal had been to have 75% of a packet covered. they're gone for 65% of the package to be covered in health warnings. those are the proposals that are being voted on. with me now, the director of policy and research at the anti- .moking charity thank you for being with us here on the show. you heard be read out what they have done. what is your reaction to that?

what is this fixation with the menthol cigarette? easier toe kind of smoke him and makes people who might otherwise not want to smoke because they find it too unpleasant, more willing to smoke. it is also more attractive to young people. >> the focus is on the youth. >> the protection is all about the youth. at the moment where we have picture warnings and we have to have them on the back of the packages, we wanted larger warnings and on the front. that is an important measure. >> what about the 65% of the package to be covered in health warnings? does that mean the kind of thing you want? >> we would have preferred the earlier proposal of 80%, but the bigger the better. the research we have done shows that large picture warnings on the front of tax of more than a small picture warnings and more effective than text once. >> you say the research, what is the evidence that actually having these very graphic images

, what is the evidence that it does in fact it's her young people from taking up the habit? >> the most important thing is, these picture warnings of a much stronger -- young people see they have greater impact. we also know they make much less attractive to young people. >> very briefly, they voted against regulating e-cigarette as medicinal. >> what we really need is the smokers to have a safe, reliable alternative to smoking. is safe andsay it reliable once it is regulated. it means we will see bans on using these in public places. i am sorry to rush you. thank you very much. on "bbc world us news." still to come, 100 years in motion. ford celebrates the scenery of
