. >> and associate fellow with tatum house joins us from -- chatham house joins us now.would like to get your thoughts on this move by eu leaders to stop short of banning exports of the astrazeneca vaccine. quentin? >> i think good sense has prevailed. it does look as if the european union has backed off a bit. but it has not taken the new legislation off the table, so it is still there. the truth is, both sides need to back off. this would have been a completely insane vaccine war, which would have damaged the reputation of both sides. the british, for their part signed probably a rather clever contract, then the eu, with astrazeneca. the british have priority to supplies from astrazeneca. the problem seems to be the angle-swedish company has signed two deals with the eu and u.k., which are not entirely compatible. the are trying to meet too much demand with inadequate supply. >> france accused the u.k. of blackmail over its handling of the coronavirus vaccine. is that strong or unfair perspective, coming from france -- or is that a fair perspective from france tonight?

to challenge of making more progress at the summit which i just mentioned which was harvested by chatham house we all from developing country met vaccine manufacturers and i remember as we committed to further expand access we are doing both and very easy for i am concerned if you would suspend the patent you wouldn't get to seeing that there is more it was amazing to listen to the experts in manufacturing supply chains their concerns about bottlenecks in gloss wise bottlenecks in lippitt nano particles scarcity in room with tears and how can we tackle the inefficiencies they are concerned about export prescriptions interventions nerve of the nobility neither from developing countries annoying dos lies chalked by patents being a hindrance thomas grady had of the international federation of sar pharmaceutical manufacturers and carer being on the program. thank you and out of some of the other global business stories making the news cathay pacific says it made a loss of $2800000000.00 during 2020 the hong kong based airline was hammered by the collapse of international travel brought on by

. >> joining the program now is an associate fellow for the asia program at the think tank chatham houseank you for joining us this evening. the previous charges against aung san suu kyi were viewed as trumped up to keep her detained. how serious are the new charges? >> i think the myanmar military indeed has a sufficient track record of flying all kinds of charges during aung san suu kyi 's detention. 2 to take these charges seriously would be a for volunteer. the point is -- a frivolity. they do create the rationale to keep her detained. in a sense, it is clear the military is not in the mood for backing off. and they will continue with the detention of aung san suu kyi and of its opposition and rather violent opposition of the demonstrations. >> another sign is that these protests are getting increasingly violent with police and troops stepping up their control tactics. can the public keep up their pressure campaign in the face of these deaths? >> it is quite clear by now tha the public is composed of every element of society. you have students, you have the trading community, housewi

welcome an associate fellow with the middle eastern north africa program at the think him -- think tank chatham health. when you look at these exit polls, what stands out to you, as far as israel's political blocks and where the support could go? >> we must remember they e exit polls. they are not always getting it right. the margin of error can be slim. especially when talking of such minute differences between the blocks. this is one thing. it really depends. it is likely, if the figures are correct, because some parties are not completely completed. he is around 56 in his pocket that will go with him. but what will happen is a question. we can assume they might join a coalition. there are some small surprises. no doubt the representation is down because of the split down to nine. this is going to change the block that tried to stop netanyahu from becoming prime minister again. but it is still quite open. also bear in mind, the votes of the soldiers, the diplomats, will be counted until frida when the margins look so small, it is exciting it is close, but we need to wait. >> does look like tu
