president. enough to he is fighting for him. the whole unified around them. we have to get aid to them it s got to be quicker. what we have already discovered in that area blackened body arms raised in supplication if they contorted with a horrible scream the skull of a mother had a bullet through its left temple. small blackened foot of a child that could be entang gel he gelled in the. and the russians are burning swastikas see into victims bodies. raped girls as young as 10 and sitting on the sidelines and we are having trouble we can t get # hundred javelins into this country. brett velicovich wrote me again this morning saying look we are sitting here in kyiv. we cannot walk around. they are not getting the american aid. so the pentagon can say whatever they want. they are not getting it nearly at the pace they need it. for mark milley say yesterday it s going to be a long war, no. you have to do what you can as part of a civilized as a guy who is chairman of the joint chiefs of
supplication, as you mentioned, zeinab, on foreign aid, has failed us. and we can see today how vulnerable we are. we could see today how we can t even take care of ourselves. we are waiting for india, we are waiting for europe to come to our aid. having said this, i think it is. if there is anything africa should do, it s actually to rely on the intellectuals within africa and also in the diaspora to come together and start setting up the platform for developing a vaccine and producing vaccine for the next generation or the future pandemic. i mean, that will emerge anywhere, eitherfrom within africa or from anywhere in the world. africa has enough, you know, brain, in and outside africa, in order to achieve this feat. africa has enough resources, but i think it s just a matter of priorities. and i think now the narrative has started changing. african leadership and heads of state have started understanding that their future would absolutely rely on the research and development that is
into things like diagnostics, novel diagnostics, and then a novel vaccine. all right, 0k, as you say, the big missing piece is vaccines. and africa has 16% of the global population. and yet when it comes to vaccine production, and that s what i want to look at with you, it is only home to 0.1% of vaccine production facilities. africa just constantly relies on advocacy to get expensive drugs and vaccines which are made in richer countries, and so you re in the role of always being a supplicant. when is that going to change and when are clever scientists like you going to make your own vaccines in africa? well, if there s anything to learn from this pandemic or from the african leadership i mean, from african leaders it s absolutely the fact that our overreliance and our overdependence on supplication, as you mentioned, zeinab, on foreign aid, has failed us.
the anticipated biden-putin summit in geneva. back with her panel. only steve and harold. does this sound a little cold were asked? i hope not. we have a little bit of confusion with the biden administration for they have a mixture of aggression and supplication. had the horrible start to the administration when russia pulled their ambassador to the u.s. i think that s the first time it happened and an extremely long time. president biden called putin aid killer. it was not very diplomatic way to deal with the problem. on the other hand, we seem we had biden kill our pipeline and energy independence of course very important. and also droppingin those sanctions that we had against russians and the norden stream pipeline. there argument to be said that i find nearly done and the sanctions wouldn t serve a purpose, but trump was certainly more aggressive with russia then biden is being. it s good that these people are talking. we hope there is a good chance hthat they have and they ha
