but one country has been hit particularly hard, so far, the democratic republic of congo with over 90 percent of all recorded cases and bulk says searching across africa. and this is ground 0 thousands of cases hoping that posted in the democratic republic of congo. as a new outbreak grips the country, it's already claimed at least $450.00 lives, most of them children. and it's showing no sign of slowing down the detection and drop you to spread off a new laid off and books in eastern the odyssey. it's detection in neighboring countries that had not previously reported in books, and the potential for further spread within africa and beyond is very, warding united option to add that out, breaks of other plates of and books in other parts of africa. it's clear that the coordinated international response is essential to stop this outbreaks and save lives. formerly known as monkey pokes and poke spreads to place contact, including sex causing flu like symptoms and painful pos spilled legions. but this new strain is proving more infectious and even more deadly next. but speed of the growin

in terms of vaccinations we are hearing that the democratic republic of congo no longer is expecting week and it had been hoping for that. can you walk us through the biggest hurdles when it comes to getting those vaccines distributed and really into the people that need them? and i think that is a major problem. one thing, there is not an enormous supply, one company that makes these vaccines makes the vaccine used in western europe and the us, they say they have a few hundred thousand doses available. we may have some stockpiles in the united states and some of the european countries. they think they can produce perhaps several million more, perhaps as much as 100 million by next year. the supply is small and of course it's an expensive vaccine so there has to be some help in providing the vaccine. and making sure that it is distributed. it is partly would just tickle, parlay economic and political problem and the who is still considering how to approve it. although there are number of countries that have been donating or sending the vaccine because it is approved for use under eme

the authorities of the democratic republic of the congo will do the same. they also reported on the deployment of vaccination programs. and now only two african countries have received permission to emergency use of vaccines. these are the democratic republic of the congo and nigeria. the latter said it expects 10,000 doses, but this is just a drop in the ocean compared to the tens of millions that african control centers say it will receive. disease prevention is needed on the continent. today, this organization and the world health organization called on countries to share vaccines. there are accusations that high -income countries are buying vaccines and hoarding their stocks, and so low- income countries such as nigeria, uganda, democratic the republic of congo and kenya are forced to ask for donations. another reason for the shortage of vaccines on the continent is that smallpox vaccine production has decreased over the past year due to reduced needs. another reason is related to duration. the process of inspection of vaccine lots by regulators, but sai

so i'm talking about the democratic republic of congo and some of the surrounding countries.t now is because of movement, you know, across the region and because of this strain, which is highly transmissible, it's been spreading to different parts of the continent. so what governments are doing right now is just sensitising the public, you know, just telling them about prevention measures like washing their hands, you know, just observing, you know, hygiene and also reporting people with suspected, you know, cases possibly like symptoms. the only thing is that the new strain has milder symptoms. so that's why a lot of people may not know actually they have been infected. and then that exposes a lot of people in terms of, you know, being infected. now it's time for a look at today's sport with hugh ferris. hello to you. this is the moment in a premier league season when anything is possible. the weather's warm, the hope is high, new kits, new signings, and for kieran mckenna and ispwich, the end of a 22—year wait. at lunchtime the opening match of their first top—flight season

the meeting comes as more than a dozen african countries, including the democratic republic of congo nment for arresting over a hundred activists and opposition figures in recent months. for more on this let's cross over to harare to speak to our correspondent shingai nyoka. we are seeing those pictures coming in, leaders from southern africa meeting in harare. they are talking about some of the major challenges including mpox and a conflict in the democratic republic of combo. what would bin discussing7 thea;r democratic republic of combo. what would bin discussing?— would bin discussing? they will be discussini would bin discussing? they will be discussing innovation, _ would bin discussing? they will be discussing innovation, growth i would bin discussing? they will be discussing innovation, growth and| discussing innovation, growth and industrialisation, different to the crisis you refer to. those issues will be discussed. this is a preset agenda, determined many months ago. on top of that are the security concerns in this ongoing war in the democratic republic of the congo. the r

cases of this new played one strain being reported in africa, dominant me in the democratic republic of congo when 96 percent of cases. that's why this new i break of impulse is, is raising concerns. a lot of health officials the same as a number of reasons for that. first, the, the cases a more prevalent in countries where people are poor and have less access to health and the health systems in those countries in, on dated but also because this strain is more, more, more and more infectious. and that is not only through sexual contact to potentially, but also through any time that is broken skin contact between 2 people. so plenty here to make a visual set up and it take note, how are your opinion health authorities preparing to deal with this? yes, so we've heard from the european sense of it as the disease prevention and control, they sort of echoed what we heard from the well world health organization. i'm from the international red cross saying that they, they don't think the travel and borders should be closed in any sense, but they want to register. i'm record people that are traveling

and that's because it's focus predominantly, especially in the democratic republic of congo in children, 70 percent of cases that are in children making up to 85 percent of the desk. i'm what's really significant about the difference between the 2022 outbreak and the one we're seeing now is the number of tests back in 2022. most people that got the virus would have the pos filled rushes that are common with people that contracts the disease, but only one percent of them died. so it was quite a low death rate that was advising campaign. and they managed to sort of bring the numbers died in this instance so far this year we've seen $14000.00 cases and a for a $524.00. that's so the death rate is much, much higher in health organizations around the world to say, and there's a number of reasons for that. and it's predominantly because there's a lack of vaccines in the african countries where the current new a more powerful strain of this virus is present. and also because that having to bought a lot of the disease outbreaks as well. so is it sort of compounding the risk of this me now i ass

on the body end can be deadly. slay the search is believed to have started in the democratic republic of congo. and bulk says, searching across africa, and this is ground 0 by thousands of cases had been reported in the democratic republic of congo. as a new outbreak grips the country, it's already claimed at least $450.00 lives, most of them children. and it's showing no sign of slowing down the road that is double box. we're worried that on the more we don't feel that the government is mobilizing or that is concerned about the best way to try and control this epidemic, which is threatening to congo these populations. that's open what is formerly known as monkey pucks. and polk spreads through place, contact, causing flu like symptoms and painful, pos spilled legions. but this new strain is proving more infectious and even more deadly next. but speed of the growing outbreak in africa could just be the tip of the iceberg. this is not just the last week of the issue and books is a global plate, a minute that knows no boundaries nor is located in the 5 is blocked, it's blocked out, but not abili
