developing nations. he made the pleasure to virtual covered 19 summit on the sidelines of the un general assembly. the additional doses will see the total u. s. commitment on vaccine sharing exceed 1000000000 doses. drill button says that it will be shipped by this time next year. my, my kind of joins us live from the united nations, took us on the scale of this commitment to massive commitment. indeed, president biden saying that the battle against the covert pandemic need to be supercharged at to this end. the u. s. providing mel than a 1000000000 vaccines by this time next year. president biden says that the u. s. has already provided 160000000 doses of the vaccine to sun 100 countries. this an absolutely critical issue. he was also calling on other countries to join the distribution in a bit to narrow the vaccine gap, also under discussion, the shortage of oxygen around the world and how this can be resolved. this is what president biden had to say. united states is buying another half 1000000000 doses of pfizer to donate to low and middle income countries around the world. this is another half 1000000000 doses that will all be shipped by this time next year. and it brings our total commitment to a donation of donated vaccines over $1100000000.00 vaccines to be donated, put another way for every one shot we've administered to dayton america. we have now committed to do 3 shots to the rest of the world. there was also a reality check though from the south african president federal rema pose, who pointed out that of the 6000000 doses of vaccine that had been administered globally. only 2 percent had been administered in africa continent with some 1600000000 people. he also pointed out that world leaders had pledged to vaccinate 70 percent of the world's population by next year. but he added at this particular stage, the target of 10 percent that's not even been reached. why can a thank you very much? i speak to dr. christner who die a coma director, the duke global health innovations, and he joined his live from raleigh, north carolina by scott, thanks for being with us. what did you make of the pledge? yeah, i think it's another good start. the u. s. has consistently stepped up as when it comes to dos donations. we are already significantly beyond every other country and now getting to 1100000000 is a very good start to what needs to happen. we know that for the world to be vaccinated, we need 10 to 14000000000 doses. so $1.00 is about 10 percent of what the world needs overall. and of course we're already at 6000000000 doses administered. so we're getting closer and closer. the point that we really didn't hear about was the urgency of the need and exactly like presidents are ram opposed to said the need is now. so it's great to donate those who the year from now. but it's actually much more meaningful to use the stockpiles that the u. s. and other high income countries have, and we just saw reporting this week that the u. s. is sitting on a stock pile of at least a $150000000.00 doses, which is more than had been the, had ministered across the entire after african continent so far. so i'm not sure if example is repeated. it's kristen, some of the idea of booster dose is it, is that something that should be essentially shelved by countries where they already have a high vaccination rate? you'll hear yeah, i would say we should follow the science and the science is becoming a bit more clear, the vulnerable populations. we'll see a significant benefit from boosters. we don't have to use a 1000000000 shots to boost everybody in high income countries. but our projections of the supply right now show that it should be possible in the coming weeks to months to do both boosters and get doses to low and lower middle income countries. we keep hearing from the white house that it's a false choice. i think really what we need to see is action to prove that it's a false choice. and that can start by making sure that we see hundreds of millions and up to 2000000000 more doses of vaccine to low and middle income countries. by the end of this year, that's really the only way we're going to solve the pandemic. what color majestic challenges are there? i mean, is it the speed of production? no. is it the kind of a cold chain or some? what are the main obstacles? yeah, i think we're really in, for a daunting few months here as hard as developing new vaccines from scratch. we're an under a year as hard as getting manufacturing up to a 1000000000 doses a month have been getting shots and arms is going to be actually the most complex and damping part of this entire endeavor. we know that you can fix manufacturing in ways that are controllable. it's much harder to make sure we have everything from logistics and data systems to cold chain, to the 1000000, the vaccinate that are going to be necessary. and of course, to make sure we're dealing with misinformation and increasing vaccine confidence around the world. so the hardest part of all of this is really ahead of us. i suppose one of the hopes with, by making it out and is that other countries follow suit. it looks as though japan, initially they to save, announce that they're going to double the, to, to $60000000.00 doses, the donations that they make, you expect other countries to, to far as usual. i do the biggest part of what happened today is that now the u. s has laid down a marker and it's going to be calling its allies and others around the world. we really have over the coming weeks, a set of meetings with the world bank, with the g 20 coming up to a world health assembly later this year. so there are going to be touch points that are periods of accountability. so the u. s. can step up and say, here's what we pledged and here's what we've delivered and what have you done? and so hopefully this will increase the pressure on other world leaders both to make new dose pledges, but also to accelerate their current pledges. because all of the dos pledges that were made even back to the g 7 meeting have mostly not even come through yet. total danara coma. thank you very much indeed for sharing your thoughts. thank you. from us we'll send it's a massive back to the united states after the leaders of both countries discussed steps to mend diplomatic ties of the speaking on the phone. mccolan biden agreed that open consultation before then outside of a security packed could have prevented a diplomatic rel, badeo between the u. s. u. k and australia included plans for submarines which essentially canceled a $40000000000.00 contract that australia had with france iden and mccolan hold further talks in europe at the end of october or more reliable. there has been ongoing discussions and engagements at a variety of levels between the united states and france. so certainly the possibility of a meeting was something that was naturally discussed in advance, but also natural for the president to raise that and discuss it at the liter level . in terms of the tone of the call, it was friendly, it was one where we're hopeful and the president is hopeful. this is a step and returning to normal in a long, important abiding relationship that the united states has with france. white house correspondent, kimberly hallett has more on that phone call and how the rift between the u. s. and france began. they found out about, at almost the same time, you and i did, and that was something that did not fit well with the french president. so as a result, furious, he withdrew his ambassador from not just the united states, but also australia, and really thought clarification about the relationship between the united states in france moving forward. and that is exactly what we understand. the phone call was really about, it was at the behest of the united states, and we understand that emanuel mccaul was not in a big hurry to take that phone call from joe by then. but we now have a read out of what was discussed in the last few hours. it's clear that there was an effort by joe biden to repair some of the damage that was done in terms of. 5 that secret negotiation and that announcement that there would be a selling of nuclear technology and nuclear powered submarines to australia that will come from the united states the united kingdom and really did the agreement that frank had who power supply diesel powered sabrina to australia. so given the fact that this is an expensive deal, you can understand why he was frustrated, but what really discussed is how they move forward from here. and we know from the read out that the u. s. president reassured, a manual back cross that in fact the united states is a reliable partner and conveyed that there would be ongoing communications in the future with regard to security. the reader also underscores that the united states sees french and also european allies is being important when it comes to security. in

would bring a better future. you will all of followed the found qu, tempt of yesterday, with the a, if managed, to defeat, into a wrist all perpetrators without any losses. it is not the 1st attempt. as we have failed many in the past. you have the right to ask for a reason for these repeated attempts, and we say it openly and candidly. it is the politicians who turned a blind eye to the people's needs and busied themselves fighting for power and competing for control. this is created anger among the common people who are struggling on a daily basis for food, water, and medicine. hipaa morgan has more from the capital cartoon. the military count keeps reiterating since, since they announced that they are in control of the situation. they've been saying that their role is to preserve the security and stability of the country. they've also been accusing political parties of not focusing on what's happening in the country rather being focused on our end positions in the governments. now let's take a look at this. make up of the transitional government. you have the suffering to counsel, which is made up of 5 military members. civilians from nominated by the ruling pollution. that's the coalition of political parties. then you have 3 members from the on group that signed the peace agreements with visiting the government in october last year. on the other hand, you have the executive friday, that's headed by prime minister optima. hm. do with a civilian and has cabinet members from various political parties and from groups as well. so it's those 2 counselor cabinets that make up this current, transitional government. but there's always been a war avoid between the 2 sides of always been tension between the 25. and when i say the 2 sides were talking about the civilians and the military, the military has repeatedly been accusing the civilian component, especially the political parties of being focused on getting position on clinging to power. and that they're not focused on the issues that the countries facing, such as high inflation and market prices. and the fact that many basic commodities and services aren't available to people who live below the poverty, the poverty line. so that's something that the military has been repeating. on the other hand, when you look at the civilian component, especially the coalition of the political parties that are currently running the government, they say that the military has been trying to hold onto power and has been unwilling to let go of some of the resources that they control such as the gold mines and such as the companies that them is that is under military control at the moment. to using president guy's side has given himself extra powers, including rule by decree, and says he will no longer observe all parts of the constitution. a statement from the president's office says it has put in place new legislative and executive measures and will form a committee to amend the political system. parliament also stay frozen. the president factor, the prime minister and assumed controlled in july, in what political rival se would accrue. you speak now to go lose a former minister for youth and sport is also a member of the executive committee of the another party joins us live from tunis by scott, thanks for much need for being with us. so what's your reaction to this? move by side. i thank you for having us and sorry that when the speaker lots easier, we are speaking about the crew, which is unfortunate. and mister a, it has put him says right now he thought the legislation. he's even isolated infant from the legislation from the constitution, and he's even referring to the premier of the constitution while in a total contradiction about the content of the premium. so right now we are in a declared coup with no possibility for any far fetched to probation. so we are in that and the music community, what is it to them in the international community? they need to be aware right now that there is no way of interpretation. this is a cou a. so i mean has office, as i say, to statement saying a form a committee to, to amend the political system of you been invited in or is anyone else been invited in to be part of those discussions at all? not at all. and the problem is that during the last 2 months, our party has made a crisis committee with the purpose of trying to know if the door for the 4 car cars. but there is no one else sitting there. now, no way that we are dealing with a party that is not able to listen to anyone or to dialogue with anyone. so that is a problem. and this is not only our party, everyone, even those who have worked around mr. supporting what he has done. he's, he's pushed everyone outside of his staff, so we have nobody but mr. i saw you. so when he, when need to intervened in that way though, the move appeared to be fairly popular, didn't it? well, speaking about popularity, we need to be there is a difference between popularity and book and listen. and we need to, to study how couple of the space i just right now. tell me what the, there's a lot, it's a total difference between the popularity which he's on the 25th and, and his situation right now with this relation. so i mean at the moment with the parliament frozen, what kind of recourse do you have? are you, are you planning demonstrations? do you have anything in mind to try to counter this? we are part of why fair off of that is refusing and opposing what mr. eyesight is doing now is part of that spectrum of the teasing people who are against the qu. so we are working together with all the chinese in the n g o. once you can parties national figures experts, this is to some of the state who refused the school and we will work together with them in order to refuse it and not to allow it to go or to go ahead. tell me if, if a new version of the constitution is suggested bought by the president and, and there's a public referendum on it, would you support that decision to, to have a referendum right now. there is no need to timothy of any with me, which mr. i say will be doing goes right now. he has frozen the constitution. so anything he will be doing will be legitimate. we cannot get into discussion or dialogue unless we go back to the constitution. we go back to the floor and then we'll be more than ready and open to any suggestions right now. we are not there, so we cannot have any type of stipulations america. lou, thank you very much. indeed for don johnson. thank you. now 2 decades after the
