the supply shortages, i just want to go back to a statement we heard earlier from the chief, the w h o. do you agree with him that the world is in, in his was a vaccine apartheid? absolutely. this absolutely no way you cannot say the world is in that situation, given the disparity in access to vaccines that we are experiencing in africa, we're over or just above one percent of the population of one point to be done. people have been vaccinated, and we actually don't know when vaccines to be interact, continent scale and speed. so it is a very troubling situation. it is a situation that we haven't seen. it should not be the case for month. but here we are with that situation, especially in the midst of a very aggressive ted wave su, describing extremely serious situation. and youth previously said, africa is not winning against the virus. so what needs to be done and who needs to do? it's to get the continent in a winning position in, in respond and in anticipation of exactly what we agree include. on the 8th of may, we convene an emergency meeting of, or minister of her to actually want to

do you make of my crimes comments? all countries making a very premature, rushed back to full normality. i agree with, with mike ryan w h o, i do think there are some situations in different places around the world that are opening up prematurely. the really important thing is to ensure that prior to opening up their high enough levels of vaccine coverage so that you can protect as many of the most vulnerable people in a given society as possible. and that, in my view, makes it really important to say we can, you can tie, opening up to achieving certain levels of vaccine coverage and do it in a phased way or incremental way. so for example, when 40 percent of coverage is achieved with the vaccine workplaces can reopen with certain restrictions. and when 60 percent coverage is achieved, there can be fewer workplace restrictions, or maybe we can begin to move to outdoor sporting events and things like that. so it's really important to tie, opening up to achieving, you know, high levels of coverage in the population and doing that, as opposed to just saying, you know, individuals to get back seed really makes this a challeng

k, many people feel that the actually doing what the w h o is warning against doing how to authorise these justify the easiness of restrictions. a saw me as the prime minister barak johnson said yesterday in his statement. if not now, then when there is pressure on the prime minister to open up the that the economy demands that restrictions be lifted because it is the success of the vaccine program here. the roll out that is doing so much of that heavy lifting to enable for there to be an opening up of the study. you've had also that doubled down by the health secretary sergeant job it. who said, reiterated that and also made a further statement on tuesday. that in fact, there would be a few isolations come august, the 19th that people would not necessarily have to isolate. just continue testing if they were found to have been in contact with someone who had that tested positive from cove at 90. nevertheless, that the conditions on best, which rest is that the continual success of the vaccine program, which recently has gotten down a little bit. but people still continue to turn up a

what we like is, and we have said it many times from w h o, the global leadership, do like what astrazeneca is doing? as president got started in europe, has production in india. and if all the vaccines could do that, the volume could increase. meanwhile, the sun seems to be setting on the holiday hopes of millions of people vaccinated with the asters and a good job. although the shot has received general approval by you, regulators, batches made in india on not being given the go ahead, peach oliver has the details. you may think that all vaccines that have been given the green light by the world health organization and all the major bodies would be treated the same around europe. however, if you will, getting an astrazeneca vaccine, it may be worth while checking where it was manufactured. because if it was one of those that is being produced in india, it may not comb with the benefits you think it does. now, some european states including france and italy, say they won't accept travelers who have been vaccinated with astrazeneca doses manufactured in india. as it stands. it depends on wh

w h o. the global leadership do like, what is any guys doing astrazeneca started in europe, has production in india. and if all the vaccines could do that, the volume could increase him, or despite the mass production of the asters, anika, shelter, the vaccine is still not been given. the green light in the year with the blocks regulate is still not appraising supplies of the shot that were made in india with more on the story, his pace. rather, you may think that it's all vaccines that have been given the green light by the world health organization and all the major bodies would be treated the same around europe. however, if you will, getting an astrazeneca vaccine, it may be worth while checking where it was manufactured. because if it was one of those that is being produced in india, it may not comb with the benefits you think it does know some european states including france and so they say they won't accept travelers who have been vaccinated with astrazeneca doses manufactured in india as it stands, it depends on where you want to go in europe, whether or not your indian manufactured v

what we like is, and we have said it many times from w h o, the global leadership do like what astrazeneca is doing as president it started in europe, has production in india. and if all the vaccines could do that, the volume could increase. and despite mass production of the ass presented shot, the vaccines hitting acceptance issues, you regulators have not given the green light to indian made supplies of the shot. as r t 's peter oliver reports you may think fits all vaccines that have been given the green light by the world health organization and all the major bodies would be treated the same around europe. however, if you will, getting an astrazeneca vaccine, it may be worth while checking where it was manufactured. because if it was one of those that is being produced in india, it may not comb with the benefits you think it does. now, some european states including france, and it's really say they won't accept travelers who have been vaccinated with astrazeneca doses manufactured in india. as it stands. it depends on where you want to go in year or whether or not your indian manufact

do make mistakes, they admit this and even typing errors. so that shows you that still has a long way to go even without approval from the m a and the w h o. there are countries, stat importing and distributing the russian jobs. i'm talking about european countries like hungry and san marino. now, austria and cyprus, they do accept russian tourists who have food and we without asking them to provide a negative p. c r test. so all in all, we're seeing that as need be gradually expanding its reach, gaining recognition. but the same time, there are obstacles that still need to be overcome and will probably this article will speed this up. the efficacy of the pfizer covert jabbers dropped spied nearly a 3rd according to a new study carried out by the israeli health ministry. the findings come amid the rapids spread both in the country and globally of the delta variance of the forest 1st detected in india, the vaccine is still said to be efficient in preventing serious illness. as of now the visor be on tag jobs been approved for full or emergency more than a 100 countries worldwide, including the us and canada. it also received emergency valida

w. do share the w h o concerns about the, the euros potentially increasing covert infections across the content. the current of ours is a re spirit tree infection and it spreads by close contact with an infected person and an infected person who's susceptible to the infection. and any kind of contact between people will increase the risk of more cases. and so if you have math gathering, you will get more context between people and you will get more cases. but really, the question boils down to what level of risk are we willing to tolerate? and at what point will we regard ourselves a sufficiently safe that we will regard acts and events like this mass gatherings for football matches to be say? and really that's what it boils down to. and it's up to policy makers to come up with policies that they think a safe than the rest of us follow. it's not already down for the football association to come up with the rules. so let's, let's, let's look at that because you sort of bring me on to my next point that you're sitting that in the country with a high rate of vaccination, which is now seein

do. if sputnik had been approved by say, the w h o or by the european medicines agency. is there any suggestion in this article why that has not happened yet? we know that the european medicine agency and the world health organization haven't given the green light to support the yet. and the officials claim, but they still have reservations, for instance, over the quality of surveillance of the possible rare are effective. so i think we, and we also know that the w h o, instructors have visited 9 sites across russia where scrutiny fee is being manufactured and the flag concerns over $1.00 of those sites. and the russian side says that they have already fixed the problem. but there are also concerns that food may lose its potency over time, and that even a vaccinated person needs a booster shot. and there is no light, a one day version of the same vaccine that is being already rolled out in moscow and other major cities. exactly. for this, but as the russian producers claim there are a lot of red tape in the m a. and that they have to jump through a lot of hoops in order

do. we can work with regulatory agencies or with a groups like w, h o, that set policy and many people, or maybe i've been sitting on committees with w a show i helping to form some of the policy around coban, 1900 vaccination. so, you know, we for kogan view ourselves as a helper, willing to go anywhere to do anything in order to move back seems through the process research to develop. and now we actually have only 4 funders, state unders that, that are korea, sweden, india, and didn't know g 7 countries are part of idea. most of our funding, 3 quarters of it comes from philanthropic organizations or actually research organizations like separate the coalition for potomac preparedness of h innovation or billing melinda gates foundation. so we really are the welcome. and we really critically depend on those projects that we have to write in order to, to do the work that we do. and we really do work on the diseases that the big companies don't want to work on. we're really committed to that and into the populations around the world in need of vaccination. thought of john kim center general o

welcome to dw, do you share the w h o concerns about the, the euros potentially increasing covert infections across the content? the current of ours is a re spirit tree infection and it spreads by close contact with an infected person and an uninvited person who susceptible to the infection. and any kind of contact between people will increase the risk of more cases. and so if you have mass gatherings, you will get more context between people and you will get more cases. but really, the question boils down to what level of risk are we willing to tolerate? and at what point will we regard ourselves a sufficiently safe that we will regard x and events like this mess gatherings for football matches to be so. and really that's what it boils down to. and it's up to policymakers to come up with policies that they think of safe then the rest of us follow. it's already down for the football association to come up with the rule. so let's, let's, let's look at that because you bring me onto my next point that you're sitting there in the country with a high rate of vaccination which is not seeing fewer

as far as you can tell, um, i think what they were doing was parroting with the w. h oe devil did show a couple of days earlier said you should wear a mask. even if you'rese we have a burying out here now. one proble with saying that is that the w. h o was representing the entire planet? 23.7% of people gotten one dose 10.7% of people are fully vaccinated me entire planet? yes if you're fully vaccinated person, you're surrounded by unvaccinated people in other places. that is not true. in the united states, we have a you know 84% 1st dose here. california is way beyond 70% so it's very different situation and because the delta variant doesn't make it so that you again. i just talked about the very links data and you just told us about the uk delinking cases from hospitalization, severenk from cases where we're seeing that increase. uncoupling um there really isn't an indication for people in los angeles if you're vaccinated to wear masks. yeah. think again parodying such an organization that's doing the whole world didn't quite make sense to me nor to the cdc, who very

w h o says. absolutely, and i think we could see more of that in the future. and if they'll do that for astrazeneca, then you can see politics very much coming into play with the chinese vaccines as well. so i would definitely agree on that, but i think we need to focus on the key issue that the vast majority of developing countries don't have enough of any vaccine at this point. and that's the key key issue. yes, it's problematic for travel if you have been vaccinated with another vaccine, but it's far, far more problematic if you're in your gander at the moment where 4000 people now 45000000 have had 2 doses. i mean, it absolutely terrible the whole day and you're back seen going on by europe. and i think this, this latest episode of saying that coffee shield isn't quite right. he said, look for me. and i think it's about defending european industries. this sense that kind of only safe back scenes can be made in europe and america. we've seen this all the way through. and we need to have a situation where we can respect that qualified vaccine manufacturers all over the world

do they include the us and canada? it also received emergency validation from the w h o. at the end of last year, we discussed these new fundings with the head of the vaccination program. at the telephone medical center. we have data which shows even if the immunity of 2 doses of defy their job, even if the news is waning, it's winging very, very, very slowly. it is possible at some point, everybody will need another dose. obviously we're worried about the drop. the delta vary and has already been studied in britain and elsewhere in the final 15 has been found to be less effective against it, but not as less effective as seen in our preliminary data. we will have to watch it locally as, as the data unfold. the full vaccination, we find the required 2 sharps, like most current jobs, but a growing vaccine hesitancy trend the same people refusing to get a 2nd dose in the german capital, for example, one in 5. thanks. the nation appointments has been cancelled. the postponed in recent weeks, according to the german red cross, which is suggested to 30 refine for those who fail

and while the w h o predicts, it will become the dominant very globally in the coming months here in russia, the strain already is accounting for more than 90 percent of doing factions. and as the strain spreads this tuesday, russia set another daily covert death toll record with 780 feet holidays registered in the last 24 hours with more on how health care workers are dealing with this challenge. here's anton krislofski returns to the red zone. in the latest installment of his documentary theories epidemics. the look an empty bed, an empty bed. what is an empty space out there? a small one. so tara 1347 beds. i hoped i would never come back here again. we are at a hospital again and here again, are these dams, crops aside, how did the hospital start to fill up? do you remember the day when said be onion and rock of i announced another spike in cases that started when the city announced 9000 infections when there had previously only been 3004. so we brought that on ourselves. we were monitoring that there had been 50 patients daily, and suddenly the number went up to 100 and then 210120130 so on. but of course, the key point is that we've already well prepa
