population has to come soon there is this general commitment and it's being welcomed for example by oxfam charity but there is no commitment as to the number of doses and also what scale can be except it's expected one kind of be rolled out we know that the u.k. has been very successful so far in vaccinating its own population so a quarter of the u.k. population have already been vaccinated but still the u.k. wants to play it safe and they're not giving an exact roll out an exact timeframe. so if of course as we just heard richer countries are part of the kovacs initiative but they also have separate deals with manufacturers and as you say that countries are going to worry about their own national populations 1st so the imbalance therefore remains as an ott. it seems that for now this is going to be the case president of france has tried to address that and he has given an interview to the u.k. newspaper and he has said that very very quickly 5 percent of the current supplies should be given by the should be distributed to countries that that are not rich and that the inequalities otherwi

it's a pleasure recently oxfam study found that since the start of the coronavirus pandemic the world's 10 richest men have seen their wealth increase by a combined half a trillion dollars that's more than enough money to cover the cost of vaccinations for everybody or on the planet who should be held responsible for this kind of gross inequality and injustice the crash of 2008 our generation's 1929. nothing is that has been the same since then come to think of it immediately after 2008 the great in the good the central banks primarily and of course governments got together at the g. 20 level if you recall april 2009 and this started to flow during the financial markets by means of state money printed by something banks pronoun. for 12 years or even new york of 19 hit we have been creating this guy and of bush to use financial market and environment with stagnation for the real economy pretty well capitalism for you know small businesses medium sized businesses with some large businesses and then govern $1000.00 comes and hits us we do a lot more of that q.e. stuff money printing the fi

. >> this morning, amnesty international and oxfam are calling on moderna and pfizer to share their formula basically for their highly effective vaccines with any other company that could make them. and the issue here is especially the developing world. they said you guys are profiting, as every drug company has the right to do, i should note. it's important to have the private sector benefit from innovation. but they're saying you have to now give these formulas to other manufacturers to make it for the rest of the developing world. what do you think? >> yeah, so first of all, i completely agree that we have to get a lot more vaccines out to the whole world. this is a global pandemic. and if we have large outbreaks happening in other places, that puts americans at risk and puts everybody at risk. so i completely agree with that. we have to vaccinate people. if it was as simple as sharing their formula, that would be great. you can also imagine that moderna and pfizer have plenty of motivation and incentive to go sign contracts with companies so that other companies can make it. that's real

let's speak now to max lawson, head of inequality olicy at oxfam. good afternoon to you.f the uk's surplus vaccine applied to poorer countries in that speech. must be something that you welcome? yes, i suppose so. but really, donations of a small amount of vaccines is not really the solution for so we have a situation where rich countries are or two hoarding vaccines. they've got five times more than they need. in developing countries in africa and elsewhere have enough to vaccinate their citizens maybe one in ten of their citizens maybe one in ten of their citizens by the end of the air. as we all know, because of the problem with mutations the spread of the virus all over the world is a threat to everyone here in the uk. so yes, it's good to see the donation but we think the key problem we have is that the prime minister and many g—7 leaders are defending the monopoly rights of pharmaceutical firms like pfizer. and that is limiting supply. so the prices are too high. and there are not enough vaccines for poor countries. so while they continue to defend pharmaceutical pr
