jim a is the interim executive director for oxfam international. we really appreciate your time this things unfair, right? if you're an advanced economy and you're already doing ok, you can spend, spend, spend, the i.m.f. says it will be fine. but if you're already struggling, belt tightening will come and things could get worse. it will not work, it will not work for the people. i mean, overseas are just found that 84 percent of the 91 they and their colleagues, 1000 loans and polish, and some cases it won't require countries to a lot, talks are the measures in aftermath of the health crisis is a thanks, at least, 767 lower middle income countries from the u.s. to $25.00 or 70 measures could include cuts, public services including wage freezes, cats, the public sector. workers like doctors and nurses. it includes increases in value of the taxes which apply to every they call it seeing food, household soup, soup lies and full disproportionally young women in the poorest parts of the population thinking human terms. i mean, just when people think th

we're looking at a new oxfam with ports i'd like to see that get done in the next 7 days. and i think there's a possibility for donald trump's national security advisor indicating his administration's desire to end the blockade of qatar in the next 2 months. and she is on the streets of peru as a former world bank official is chosen to become the president, you know, in the middle of a serious political crisis. and that same crisis affecting sports as messy in argentina, head to peru for a world cup qualifier taking place with tight security. so the situation in northern ethiopia continues to worsen today. rebels have refused to give in to the government 3 days ago. prime minister that issued an ultimatum, he said, stand down or face more attacks. and then choose day. he delivered on that threat. the air force carried out strikes near the raid main city of mecca. les, this is the primary base for the take rate. people's liberation from the if which governs in that area. i'm going to read said the attacks will continue until the t.p.s. is brought to justice, and its leaders

we spoke to our son, come all from oxfam in london, and he says, action is needed from would be this to end yemen's humanitarian crisis. it's very difficult as yemen rolls into its 6th year of conflict to watch the situation in the country and unravel with the death, destruction and, and level of disease and infection in the country. and as we, as we work, as humanitarian organizations to respond to the coronavirus, we're seeing a dramatic drop in a low level of response for in the humanitarian funding levels. and we're only seeing around 40 percent of, of the humanitarian appeal being funded today. it's the old cliche of how important these forgotten crises are. and we need to ensure that they are there, they are present and we need to use we need to call on while doing this today to, to take responsibility. use the momentum of the g 20. this week to ensure that there are sufficient talks around the humanitarian funding shortfall and gaps for the response, which is the largest humanitarian crisis in the world. it must get their attention . and ultimately, as many yemenis say to us o

i think the oxfam report says of the g 20 arms sales to saudia 3 times the humanitarian aid money. surely you can criticize the british government for its response to the yemen, humanitarian catastrophe, because it gives so much aid. oh, absolutely, absolutely i'm. i'm very much on the, on, on the side of the, of the people and it gives of aid and the agencies of course, legislators give more aid, but let us be very careful about south our military exports. they had to be, they have, i think they should be, they should be stopped spending an international inquiry, which i think the united nations might might well carry out this. i'm not for a moment criticising the amount of aid that we give. i am criticising our arms exports and the damage that they do the you've covered more as in your history of war reporting with the r.a.f. . i mean, how, how is it possible that if they are half a training these pilots that the pilots could be accidentally, or is it deliberately killing men, women, and children in yemen? and so there is not only the saudis, of course, are they the other countri

in 2015, oxfam voluntarily imposed a moratorium on its use of biometrics in its work. it stated, given the number of unknowns around most effective operation and governance models, and risks of this incredibly sensitive data falling into the wrong hands. we felt it was best not to become an early adopter one field in which biometrics has long been just is security and surveillance. and facial recognition is one of the most popular right now. in china, there's been an exponential increase in the use of facial tracking and artificial intelligence to monitor citizens. the united states also currently operates one of the largest facial recognition systems in the world with a database of 117000000. americans with photos typically drawn from driver's, licenses. and in the u.k., police forces have been trialing life fishel recognition since 2016. a public spaces such as shopping centers, football matches, protests, music events, and crowded city spots. so this green band that's behind me here in central london is part of the facial recognition technology trial that's being ru

when look into the oxfam ripples we begin though with a situation in northern ethiopia, where gray rebels have refused to give in to the government. 3 days ago, prime minister had issued an ultimatum to stand down or face war attacks. on tuesday he delivered on that threat. the air force says that it carried out the strikes to the region's main city of the. it's the primary base for the tea, great people's liberation front told pti p.l.f. which governs the prime minister. i'll be all bad, says the attacks will continue until the tea p.l.f. is brought to justice and its leaders are replaced. the un and foreign leaders calls for mediation, a request which has been largely ignored by both sides. the government deployed extra troops on monday, and it's more soldiers move in the living that i'll sleeping in troops. an estimated $25000.00 have crossed the border into neighboring sudan. just released yet. but since you know, when it's yourself and other service providers. and you can watch al-jazeera spotted out a report now from fish in ethiopia. the government forces have their eyes on mckelle

we're looking at a new oxfam report i'd like to see that get done in the next 70 days. and i think there's a.

reason the concern the vaccine would be committed -- oxfam has had the vaccine would be "0% effectiveo the people who cannot access or afford it." well, there's a lot of truth and untruth in that mix of comments you just put out. first of all, pfizer put out a very detailed list -- as i already said -- of the racial breakdown, age write-down, susceptibility to covid disease breakdown of the participants in the study. it is a very diverse group. i don't know who is making claims otherwise, but they should look at the breakdown. it has been published and known for quite some time. the larger question, what does this vaccine for anything of its nature similar like the modernity vaccine, which is also based on mrna and will require decreasing, and some of the other vaccines in the pipeline that have difficult the production issues or logistic issues associated with the nature of the vaccine -- what does this mean for the rest of the world? that is a legitimate question and a very troubling one, but one the community has been confronting from the very beginning. all the way back in februar
