and that brings me to kodak's which was set up to ensure poor countries also have access to the vaccines we know that the w.h.o. is part of kovacs what is the biggest challenge or the biggest problem right now the inability of poor countries to afford the vaccines or the shortage of vaccines . well if we go back to the reason that kovacs was set up remember this was set up nearly a year ago now or we began to roll it out at a time when no vaccines when we didn't know whether vaccines were going to be successful we didn't know which vaccines of them you know the myriad vaccines that were being tested were actually going to be successful and in a situation like that the best thing for the global community was to pool resources pool the risk of development tool the procurement of these products and pool the roll out of them coordinate the rollout and that was in everyone's best interest and that was well recognized 89 months ago so the intent of kovacs was not to provide doses for the lowest income countries it was to coordinate a global rollout of doses now where we are today many hiring c

that's right and the kodak system has bought fight scenes for lower income countries greece will begin distributing those taxing soon but it hasn't got enough money to buy all the back scenes it needs and frankly even if it did have the money the banks just simply don't exist at the moment so kovacs was invented for a great reason it was understood that if we gave this vaccine out in proportion to those who need it the most so family around the world at the same time that's the way you're going to cite most lives you're going to immunized those who are most at risk and it could save millions of lives compared to only allowing the rich to immunize their own populations 1st so it's a great idea the problem is that many rich countries like my own decided that they were going to jump the queue and simply by millions and millions of vaccines themselves so that there wouldn't be enough select on the market why why did they line up why can't the brits line up orderly like the germans. it's a good question we've seen a lot over the last few years but. saluki i mean they that they just decided

now what was really crazy is that trump pardoned kodak black and lil' wayne. which sounds like a good thing. he could pardon anyone, i guess but it is a terrible thing to do to a rapper. you are taking away their street cred. now what are they going to rap up, yeah, young weezy, can i get another job now, i look. ♪ now you see me on the street. ♪ on my way to jury duty. ♪ honestly, if you ask me, i think it's incredible that trump didn't pardon himself because it means that even president trump looked at donald trump's record and decided man, i can't let this guy off that easy. then again some people speculating that trump secretly wrote himself a pardon that he can use later. and honestly, i hope that he did. because donald trump, you know he is just going to end up waistk that pardon on some bullshit. >> mr. trump, your car is illegally parked in a panned handi cap spot and you are getting a ticket. >> now is the perfect time to use my one and only pardon. i will see you when i come back for my game of golf. >> trevor: trump is not the first president to iss

the rappers lil wayne and kodak black also received pardons.the white house announced the latest pardons shortly before 1:00 a.m. trump had previously pardoned other top associates, including former campaign manager paul manafort, former national security advisor michael flynn, advisor roger stone, as well as jared kushner's father and four blackwater mercenaries who massacred 17 iraqis in the 2007 nisour square massacre. trump has so far rejected calls to pardon wikileaks founder julian assange or nsa whistleblowers edward snowden and reality winner. meanwhile, trump card command was indicted for recruiting u.s. naval intelligence analyst pollock to sell secrets to israel. this all comes as more details emerge about how allies of trump have personally profited from people seeking pardons. "the new york times" reports an associate of rudy giuliani told cia torture whistleblower john kiriakou a pardon is "going to cost $2 million." kiriakou declined the offer but he did pay $50,000 to a former top trump campaign adviser for help in his quest to
