that astrazeneca has absolutely no problem meeting. while the court did meet the request that the penalty be 10 million euros per day per dose, it is almost unthinkable astrazeneca would have to pay that because the delivery schedule is very simple. but the key thing the commission needed was the ruling that astrazeneca violated its contract. even when the commission launched the lawsuit, it was clear astrazeneca would be phased out in the eu. the commission is looking more toward mrna vaccines like pfizer and moderna. with the eu needed was a court to recognize that astrazeneca had violated its contract with the eu, and the court undoubdly did that. the court ruled are basically very severe violation of the contract. it also did not agree with astrazeneca's excuse that it had used its bt regional -- best, reasonable efforts to meet the contract. the court said because astrazeneca would not export any doses from its facility in the u.k., the company could not possibly say it use its best reasonable efforts. at t end of the day, the com

are there any ways to mitigate your chances of developing it from bosis if you're vaccinated with astrazeneca? oh, i'm going to start this answer by saying something i've already said many times before, which is that both trials and hundreds of millions of recipients show the astrazeneca vaccine is highly effective that preventing future infection with covered 19. and the chances of developing the blood plots that have been associated with the vaccine are extremely rare. the exact numbers are kind of hard to interpret. but the european medicines agency says that over the course of both doses, about one recipient and 100000 developed the side effect. so it's a very uncommon occurrence that chance. it's so much smaller than the chance of a serious outcome if you can track over 19, certainly for older people, that there is a very clear benefit and getting the astrazeneca vaccine. because the vaccine induced thrombosis is so rare. we're still learning about it, but we think we figured out the mechanisms that cause it. and that, coupled with simple awareness, is now playing a big role in reducing

but there are so many concerns about astrazeneca. now, do you see novak's as being the redeemer here? as us, i, it needs to go through its w h o approval processes and i wouldn't want to really compare one with another. it's beyond my expertise. but i think the more approach vaccines that we have, a greater chance is of reaching that target. the w h o is now sick of having 70 percent of the world's population vaccinated by the time of the next g 7 song next june. you tweeted a couple of days ago that the g seven's curve in 1900 vaccine pledge was and i'm quoting here too small to slow and to narrow. why? well that, that was a direct quote from us financial times a report, but i think generally reception that the outcome his head is that it's been a disappointing look. it's in the right direction, releasing more doses, looking to support scale the manufacturing. but, but the need is now, if we look at the $70000000.00 doses, which g 7 pledged, the countries would supply by sometime the next year. with that, that's not enough. l panel

this, your institute again, is the one producing the indian version of the astrazeneca vaccine. what is actually happening to bring this to a resolution? well yes, reportedly now that i'm, if you have applied for all right, these are from the and they are needing then the very thinking that that can be expected to know what the, the author in which you mention. and that's in the what didn't actually go out and get the name that he is actually taking it up, the higher that what it will be to resolve and how it could be, how and what the problem will be. will tell it to be a better. so whether or not authorities ation is needed and whether, whether should be serum institute is going to get it. that seems to be a matter of confusion as of yet. but there and coffee shield, of course, is widely distributed through the kovak scheme that you backs the covert scheme. meaning it thinks koby shield is good enough for the countries receiving it. but it isn't yet prepared to let anyone in the you with koby shield yet. what kind of message do you think that sends the messages? of course a li

unlike astrazeneca, there have been no scares with deadly side effects. for more now, i'm joined by helen clark. she is the former prime minister of new zealand and co chair of the independent panel for pandemic preparedness and response into the w h o cobit 19 response. ms. clark is good to have you on the program. you are an outspoken supporter of an equitable distribution of the corona virus vaccine for everybody on the planet. today's news from nova acts is this is step in your opinion in the right direction. will it provide more equality if you will? well, as it is exciting, and let's face it in the very late times of pandemic, one of the highlights has been science are rising to the occasion to bring vaccines to us as a record speed understand novak's has yet to go through the w h o approval process, but what we're hearing is promising and to the menu of acceptable and the effect seems that are now on offer to help fix the world. and we get the impression that nova vax is now being sold as the new astrazeneca vaccine. we know that astrazeneca the va

astrazeneca was making zero profit on the production. millions more vaccines are being rolled out to the poorest countries in the world. 96% of the vaccines delivered by covax have been oxford-astrazeneca. we look towards the global recovery our countries are committed to lead, and we all need to build back better for all of our people into the people of the world. that means facing -- preventing a pandemic like this from ever happening again. we want to spot new diseases before they get the chance to spread. we want to ensure prosperity benefits all citizens. my fellow leaders helped the global partnership for education working to make sure every child in the world is given the chance for a proper education, in which half of its fundraising goal, including a $430 million donation. it is an international disgrace that some children in the world are denied the chance to world -- to learn, and i'm grateful that the g7 came together to support that cause. educating all children, particularly girls, is the easiest way to lift countries out o
