Astrazeneca says it Still Believes its covid i9 vaccine will protect against severe disease caused by the South African variant of coronavirus. But the drugmaker has admitted that the vaccine appears to have limited effectiveness against milder illness caused by that variant. It comes a day after the company said the vaccine is effective against the uk variant. But there are some caveats. These are preliminary findings from a small study of 2000 people in south africa and it has not been peer reviewed. There has been no comment from astrazeneca or Oxford University on this study but crucially, its been reported that the vaccine is still effective in preventing deaths in hospital admissions.

Sinovac says trials in brazil have shown 50 effectiveness in preventing infection, reaching 80 in preventing cases requiring medical intervention. But the company has also admitted that efficacy and safety results need to be further confirmed as trials are yet to meet normal standards. As western nations dispute contracts and bid up the price of the big name vaccines, chinas home grown jabs are picking up customers overseas. In asia, singapore, malaysia, the philippines and indonesia have either signed up or begun rolling out the sinovac vaccine. Turkey has also approved the sinovac vaccine for emergency use.

In a major reform of its state controlled economy, the cuban government is to allow small private businesses to operate in most fields. The Caribbean Island is looking to recover from a devastating economic slump. The non state sector is composed largely of small private businesses. For more on this, ive been speaking to our correspondent will grant, who is in havana. When they first opened up the economy about a decade ago, they created this list of about 130 activities moving to the private sector. Now they say there will only be 130 he will not be allowed into the private sector, over2000 not be allowed into the private sector, over 2000 it well. So in essence, it is a huge step for a huge country like cuba. We dont know which sectors they will continue to control. Quite clearly, education, anything to do with medicine, anything to do with medicine, anything to do with medicine, anything to do with the production of food, the government is very unlikely to let go of that.

The truth of the matter is, those are exactly the sorts of things they felt were safe enough to release the economy when fidel castro pass the reins of power to raul castro. What we will see is the covid 19 situation will move a lot of these decisions forward in the coming weeks and months. I cannot overstate how bad the economy is here at the moment. There are breads cues, and shortages in virtually everything. It is very, very poor economic picture at the moment.

The bbc� sjoe wilson was there the word from scotland before this tournament was if they brought their a game than they felt they were capable of beating anyone. That is what we saw here today. 1999 was the last time they were champions of europe, the last time they won the five nations tournament. There were periods when scotland had strong back row forwards, david sent the ball out wide and there was nobody there. Recently they have had this flamboyant reputation, almost playing Basketball Style rugby with all the creativity and flair, perhaps not enough steel. Today what we saw was a combination of all of those elements coming together. Above all else, they were in control of this match, almost from the word go. They maintained that intensity throughout the 80 minutes. And for a coach, that must feel almost like a perfect match. Let say now from gregor townsend. I let say now from gregor townsend.
