says his orders sacking a top general has come into force but the president and military leaders are pushing back also this hour a new step to reconcile with its colonial past france is to declassify secret documents related to algeria as war of independence and russia slows down access to twitter accusing it of failing to remove banned content critics say it's another attempt to silence kremlin critics of their own piece of it all the sports news consumer nelda and you ventus have crashed out of the champions league in the last 16 but a more later this new. hello and thank you for joining us south africa and india are leading a push at the world trade organisation to drop pay to interest strictures on covert 900 back scenes more than 100 countries say that would allow greater access to vaccines for developing nations according to a campaign group called one rich countries are hoarding excess doses preventing poor nations from getting them at sesame to the surplus of doses would be enough to vaccinate the entire. dulled population of africa john hopkins university found nearly half of those who've been fully vaccinated so far were in the united states and only 10 countries have been able to vaccinate 75 percent of their populations the u.n. secretary general antonio terry says the inequality of the vaccine distribution is widely an even and unfair from him and i begins our coverage with this report from johannesburg. on the whole it's been a year since the 1st 1000 in fiction was identified in south africa since then more than 50000 people have died here and 1500000 have been infected while richard nations rolled out vaccines the program in south africa's been much slower. another important step is to remember that it could. south africa and india are leading a movement to suspend the world trade organizations agreement on intellectual property rights for covert 1000 vaccines but many high income countries including the united states and those in the european union have rejected the idea they say waiving the peyton's would put off private investors and slow down scientific innovation and existing regulations allow drug manufacturers to make their own deals with generic manufacturers while some developing nations that garner ivory coast in the suit to have begun receiving their 1st doses to the u.n. back to vaccine sharing scheme known as kovacs many others in africa are being left behind. there is a capacity for mr companies to produce things like i said in america. it is essential that the wealthy states stop blocking or putting in legal barriers and delaying essential kozel ahead. of the world trade organization according to the united nations 3 quarters of all covert 1000 vaccines have been secured by just 10 countries all of them wealthy 130 countries that's about 2500000000 people have not received a single dose this is not the 1st public health emergency that south africa is facing it has one of the highest hiv aids rates in the world in the 1990 s. millions of people in this country and other developing nations died without access to the drugs they needed simply because they were too expensive so africa is once again calling for access to cheaper drugs to save lives with some arguing that despite covert 1000 vaccines been tested in africa many nations on the continent still remain at the back of the queue for me to al-jazeera johannesburg. when i speak to nick dearden about this he's the director of global justice now and he joins us via skype from london very good to have you with us nick on the news hour so the w t o today is hearing a proposal by india and south africa to waive peyton's on call the 1000 vaccines will in your opinion waiving intellectual property rights alone solve vaccine access. it could make an enormous difference it's not enough on its own we also need to compel the corporations that are really nice fraxinus to share the know with countries around the world but it could make just an enormous difference to what's been described as a vaccine apartheid where countries like my own. many times the vaccines that they need leaving over 100 countries haven't even sniffed exene yet. and when those countries come to the w.t. i would say this is unfair please allow us the ability to produce or in fact seems britain the u.s. and other european countries turn around and say no no there's no problem at all don't worry you'll get the eventually right what pharmaceutical manufacturers make are saying that peyton's are not the issue really when trying to expand over 1000 vaccination that production. but rather ingredients shortages and manufacturing capacity is the issue they say do you buy that. i don't buy it because we know we've seen creasing reports over recent weeks that there are centuries lying idle around right the way around the world including in europe actually and they can't produce the vaccines because they don't a relay don't have access to the papers that would allow them to produce it and bear in mind many of these vaccines have been produced entirely with public resources or largely with with public resources they've been trialled by people around the world is absolutely wrong that research has been tried to tie monopolized by a bunch of super rich corporations who are keeping that techno technical know how out of the public sphere another argument of those who oppose this proposal also make is that you know freeing up they say ip intellectual property for vaccines is a thaw different proposition then can post 3 licenses issued decades ago for a same press small molecule drugs including treatments for hiv aids they say the 1000 vaccines are. much more complicated they have hundreds of ingredients that's also not valid you have to imagine. well they would say that with a no i don't believe it is if you actually look at what we've achieved over the last 12 months factories that have never produced before being kidnapped within just a very short space of time within just a few months to produce especially the newer versions the madonna in size of versions of the m r n a it's called scenes these can be much more easily produced you don't need massive factories you don't need huge amounts of experience but you do need to know how you do need the technical knowledge to be able to produce a minute the moment that being kept secret led by corporations for the right purposes because they want to be able to profit from these vaccines for many years ahead and we think during a global pandemic that's just completely wrong right to vaccine distribution center has highlighted global inequality beyond the catastrophic moral failure that's been described by the cheetham south to what extent do you think and how long well this adds to what extent will it adds another layer to the profound disparity in wealth education health that we see already around the world today and we absolutely right the pandemic has exacerbated what was already an enormous inequality on a global scale before this pandemic happened and if we go down this route and some countries cannot vaccinate a sufficient portion of that population to be safe from this virus until what 2024 people are saying now the inequality will just be enormous how on earth are those countries supposed to protect the livelihoods and the health care of their citizens when they don't have access to technical know how that's been paid for by the public sector and that we already enjoying in countries like mine right now thank you very much for talking to us about this thank you for being passionate about this issue then as director of global justice now joining us via skype from london . in a european 1st

colonial era the decision will make it easier to access information relating to the algerian war of independence but critics say the blocking of thousands of once public documents shows there's still a long way to go in january a truth commission was set up to look into france's colonial history historians have called for victims' testimonies to be included algeria as war of independence lasted from 1904 to 1902 and was one of the world's bloodiest conflicts algeria says more than 1000000 of its people were killed let's speak to use of one del about this he's an algerian professor of political science at qatar university also a specialist on human rights issues in the maghreb region he joins us via skype here in doha thank you very much use of bonding for being with us so the french government is scenes is making another gesture perhaps to reconcile france with its colonial past what will declassifying secret archives on the algerian wars achieve how will it help the process of reconciliation. think we have 2 extraordinary to say which will happen because there is a law in florida the. documents over the last 50 years old should be made public with this also updated people diddy's either in 2011 but says the government needs to have a say in what mark on the house has done up until now though it is something that they need to become of they need to commend the on that because nolan has been done before he wants to tugun the friendship he's great and it's logical for her to call you bust particularly towards a majority of like you said a little and it was. french they've been professional history of getting decent official but to be installer who urged the french government to the close you file you the documents he admitted. florence are dismayed that the total of what of each owed the citizen more this order to sympathize with the algerian war and last week he met with the far media of arguments of lawyer. for the last of 2 by different right so you to see yeah i just just signed national audience can understand and i'm glad you're making all these points about my call it has to be said indeed that he has done much more than his predecessors towards healing the wounds on his 1st trip to algeria he called colonialism a crime against humanity he he recognized his responsibility in the death of ontarian dissidents and in the pendants fight is like a woman joe which you mentioned but he has also ruled out apologizing for france's role in algeria why why won't france apologize for algeria is calling up colonize a ship. this is basically do 1000000 dollar look a question i think that the police in these documents and the other crimes we did get a long way toward start let's not forget gotten reports by benjamin should just to make it available in the archives but he also ruled out a total jeep and i believe that michael has made significant steps to apologize for florence's behavior in not julian would not be the would not be good for his electrical company some people might why this is a show why is this a show of apologizing so sensitive still today in france 60 years on and not just among far right nationalists but among the french population in majority as a whole but bit is that i believe that they get an opinion site has not been called in for that. the pope of the day because the algerians have not made so much effort in these demands and also there are so many people in florence who do not necessarily believe the reason was it but they believe that the french adventure in our journey up was too civilized that was shove edges its flowers not create a journey of its fullest but believed that you've just got to you know judea and the fall they have nothing to apologize for if that is in opposing it should government be on jenny and the terrorists who committed that there was of course it is right now that the changed yeah and i want you talk about the french perspective then next here remark of course the success anniversary of the end of ontarians war for independence what is the view though from algeria how does a majority of the population in algeria which has to be said is very young view this period of history. what did the like you say to the moderate your father julian's. less than 35 years old they have not leave the wall and so on and so forth but if we see the about 40 instant these a bit of protest over the last 2 years you know julia. of course that hasn't been india because of the pandemic but when we see what people were calling for fall i'm a lot of things based and flinches dominance of financial or finances interference in our journey in the 1st though so many are julia stevens today who was parents grandparents have been killed by the french just so many people you know julia who feel that these children dominated. the country in the economically even politically and therefore they want to see the atrocities committed by the floods in algeria and the younger generation who doesn't believe the war is the one that is called in for an official apology from the flood of lunch thank you very much yourself wonder for your insight thank

platform of failing to remove banned content the country's communications watchdog says it's slowed down the websites feed and they have warned it could be blocks entirely unless action is taken on tuesday russian authorities announced lawsuits against 5 social media platforms for poles related to opposition protests according to the interfax news agency that speak to a new sastry about this he's a professor of computer science at the university of surrey and joins us from london thank you for being with us so russia says it's restricting twitter because the social media platform failed to remove banned content from its site 1st of all what is slowing down twitter meant for russian uses then what do you think is really behind the small. well so what they can do is they can make sure that any connections that come to russian users through russian service providers from twitter or stick to them are about regarding the amount of bandwidth there is a lower for each of these connections but as far as twitter goes i don't think this is really going to have any material effect for users of twitter because if you come to compare twitter to let's say netflix or you to a user of you tube or netflix is likely to see that their videos seen some buffering or they're not able to continuously watch them video and that is likely to lead to a lower quality of user experience where twitter is literally the lightest of on the social media platforms just to 80 characters each tweet. and in today's internet i don't think is going to have the magic i mentioned market they're threatening to block it what do you think is behind this move that that's exactly right so that the slowing down is not going to have an effect but of course rocking is really different matter altogether and so i think this is this is probably the 1st step so warning to twitter that look begin to take you. out of russia which is probably quite a significant market for quitter so you know please don't play it as are else you know we've you know going to take you out so it's a 1st step and yes series of steps i would think twitter to tell like other u.s. social media platforms is used widely inside russia by allies and kremlin critic alexina vonnie was jailing last month prompted nationwide protests have been efforts in recent years by moscow to exert greater influence over these us social media platforms do they have any recourse to social media companies. well they choose to either accept. the terms that the country puts to it and comply with their laws are they there might be taken out there there are ways of technical ways in which maybe they can evade such things so for example a similar thing was tried with a telegram some time back recently and then a telegram responded by using multiple dynamic ip addresses which means that they. were using different ip it was a significant point in time which that meant that russia couldn't actually block their tribe dropping sections of this but they couldn't do that enough and their passion and back to let goes there is there is ways in which technically the companies can fight back but. yeah but twitter i mean is not is not completely innocent in all this i mean they've also been accused of taking action against those spreading information it doesn't like earlier this year we saw them delete dozens of russian accounts which were undermining faith in nato what is the extent of collaboration between big tech and national security states you think. so this is this is becoming more and more important issue that on governments around the world will have to consider is that for example donald trump was anybody happy when he was taken out of twitter and it's basically a question of who is going to be more powerful so if you're playing on a particular platform then the platform has certain powers over you to sort of censor. your content if it if it doesn't comply so this is a delicate game really because twitter should be seen to be playing right by its users otherwise users are going to designate splat forms governments are going to want to take a liked approach otherwise they're going to be seen as heavy handed so in both cases there is some reason pretty strained but still it's a it's a delicate balance that has to be reached to the extent to which the speech should be allowed in the extent to which certain platform norms should be adhered to oh thank you for talking to us about this a professor of computer science at the university of sorry thank you for your time thank you. now

northeastern coast it left around 20000 people dead or missing and it caused a meltdown at the fukushima nuclear power plant that led to more than 150000 people being evacuated from surrounding areas 10 years on and just 10 kilometers from the plant the town of tommy yoker still hasn't recovered u.-turn was just 14 when he was evacuated with his family residents were allowed to return only 4 years

in spite of government assurances that the water has been treated you're hanging on they're going to i'm concerned about what will happen to the fishing industry in the next 10 years there is talk of releasing the water and i'm very worried for many this anniversary will be a time to reflect on a natural disaster that took so much from this part of japan and that is still dealing with the legacy

can read. he was on top on him so he doesn't. think they were interviewed in a court room and their identities have not been released for all its death in police custody in may last year triggered worldwide protests former officer derek show via facing charges of 2nd degree murder and manslaughter the court has set aside 3 weeks to choose the 12 jurors john hendren has more from minneapolis. on day one of jury selection in the case of the former police officer accused of murdering george floyd the court picked 3 jurors one a white chemist a man from minneapolis another is a white man who works as an auditor and says he's got a friend who's a police officer and he's got a relatively negative view of black lives matter the 3rd is a woman of color who says her uncle is a police officer and all 3 said that they felt they could judge the case fairly race is particularly important in this case of a white police officer accused of killing a black man in a racially charged incident that was videotaped by bystanders and went viral that video sent protesters into the streets across the united states and set off riots here in minneapolis and elsewhere it's rare that a police officer is charged with murder and rape were still that one is convicted in the concern here in minneapolis is that if derrick chauvin is found not guilty of these charges that those riots that began on may 25th when george floyd was killed could begin a new that's why security is heavy around the courthouse with high barricades arrested around it national guard and police inside and very few people allowed inside that courtroom now ultimately the judge needs to pick 12 jurors and at least 2 alternates in order to start the trial but with 3 jurors being picked on the 1st day of jury selection they are on pace to begin as scheduled on march 29th. in ivory coast the governing party has retained its majority in parliament winning 137 of the 254 seats reactions to the results have so far been peaceful in
