As always, thanks for agreeing with us on this thursday evening. A lot of papers to get through. Lets start with the metro and the blame game. Harriet, lets start with you. This is president the eu is to blame and today, theres been a virtual conference. President macron. And lasting out at the eu for a lack of the speediness of the vaccine roll out. I for a lack of the speediness of the vaccine rollout. Vaccine rollout. I think actually every time vaccine rollout. I think actually every time recently vaccine rollout. I think actually every time recently ive vaccine rollout. I think actually every time recently ive come i vaccine rollout. I think actually| every time recently ive come on vaccine rollout. I think actually i every time recently ive come on in the papers, ive spoken about a manual macron. On the Coronavirus Vaccine roll out. He pointed in these comments to the fact that it is an extraordinary how quickly we have gone from discovering of virus to getting into having a vaccine and rolling it out, and he suggesting the eu was far too hesitant and didnt really put it in the way that britain did. He does praise the us for doing that, and hoping that pans out, and it has. We are reaping in the rewards in that you didnt. Its struggling. The rewards in that you didnt. Its stru culin. , � , struggling. Even tonight, weve been caettin struggling. Even tonight, weve been getting statements struggling. Even tonight, weve been getting statements from struggling.

We | getting statements from the eu. We got the eu in particular ursula von der leyen, saying, picking up that astrazeneca must catch up. Its been a contentious situation throughout this whole vaccine delivery and who gets what and who signed contracts. Its been quite difficult where ultimately, we all need to be vaccinated. It ultimately, we all need to be vaccinated. Ultimately, we all need to be vaccinated. ,. , ,. , vaccinated. It really has been a farce in the vaccinated. It really has been a farce in the sense vaccinated. It really has been a farce in the sense that vaccinated. It really has been a farce in the sense that on vaccinated. It really has been a farce in the sense that on the l vaccinated. It really has been a i farce in the sense that on the one hand, farce in the sense that on the one hand. Its farce in the sense that on the one hand, its complaining its not receiving hand, its complaining its not receiving new doses fast enough from astrazeneca. On the other hand, it has miiiions astrazeneca. On the other hand, it has millions of doses of the vaccine going has millions of doses of the vaccine going unused. Thats partly due to logistical going unused. Thats partly due to logistical issues. Politicians such as Emmanuel Macron has spread misinformation. He came out and said it was misinformation. He came out and said it was semi ineffective per the over 65 la it was semi ineffective per the over 65 la the it was semi ineffective per the over 65 za. The vaccine was suspended because 65 za. The vaccine was suspended because of 65 za. The vaccine was suspended because of fears that it causes blood because of fears that it causes blood clots when there is no evidence blood clots when there is no evidence that it is. If you are rolling evidence that it is. If you are rolling out evidence that it is. If you are rolling out a programme, a certain number rolling out a programme, a certain number will rolling out a programme, a certain number will have two develop blood clots around the same time. With the absurd clots around the same time. With the absurd situation in which vaccines are available, but people arent going are available, but people arent going for are available, but people arent going for appointments. So, are available, but people arent going forappointments. So, its partly, going forappointments. So, its partly, as going forappointments. So, its partly, as Emmanuel Macron has acknowledge, the eu was too slow to authorise acknowledge, the eu was too slow to authorise the vaccines and agree contracts authorise the vaccines and agree contracts. But its also this wave of Misinformation Spread about the vaccine of Misinformation Spread about the vaccine. The eu has only itself it to blame, vaccine. The eu has only itself it to blame, i vaccine. The eu has only itself it to blame, i believe. The Financial Times focuses on what india has now said when it comes to harriet, when it comes to blocking Vaccine Exports. Bring it up to date with the line that is coming from the Serum Institute of india. This is the largest manufacturer of vaccines in the world. Is the largest manufacturer of vaccines in the world. Yeah, the sd is sa in vaccines in the world. Yeah, the sd is saving it vaccines in the world. Yeah, the sd is saving it Band Vaccines in the world. Yeah, the sd is saying it band exports, vaccines in the world. Yeah, the sd is saying it band exports, india is saying it band exports, india band and exports the ft. It is facing a second wave. The ft notes here that does have implications for countries like the uk, but also the ft says the alliance, which was set up to try and ensure theres an equitable distribution around the world and its notjust the richest countries. This is a huge delay. Yeah, i think its a concern around the world, not just in countries like the uk, where were now battling on two fronts. In the meantime, george, the paperalso the meantime, george, the paper also picks up on president biden. His target was to get. Hes basically doubling the amount of vaccinations that he hopes to get. Yes. Doubling the amount of vaccinations that he hopes to get. That he hopes to get. Yes, he is, and the us that he hopes to get. Yes, he is, and the us rollout that he hopes to get. Yes, he is, and the us rollout has that he hopes to get. Yes, he is, and the us rollout has gone that he hopes to get. Yes, he is, and the us rollout has gone almost and the us roll out has gone almost as well and the us roll out has gone almost as well as and the us roll out has gone almost as well as the uks has, and that does as well as the uks has, and that does contrast very starkly with the eus does contrast very starkly with the eds the does contrast very starkly with the eus. The core point is that ultimately, you do need global cooperation, and thats why export bands cooperation, and thats why export bands are cooperation, and thats why export bands are damaging, because what covidi9 bands are damaging, because what covid 19 shows is that there is ultimately no such thing as isolation in a pandemic export bans isolation in a pandemic export bans look isolation in a pandemic export bans lookat isolation in a pandemic export bans. Look at the speed at which covidi9 bans. Look at the speed at which covid 19 spread. As long as part of the world covid 19 spread. As long as part of the world are unvaccinated, the risk remains the world are unvaccinated, the risk remains of the world are unvaccinated, the risk remains of new strains arising. And africa remains of new strains arising. And africa is remains of new strains arising. And africa is a remains of new strains arising. And africa is a Continent Critique dependent on this international covax dependent on this international Covax Programme particularly dependent. Ultimately, short term export dependent. Ultimately, short term Export Control might appear to be in the south Export Control might appear to be in the South Interest of countries, but theyre the South Interest of countries, but theyre not. If it leads to a more global theyre not. If it leads to a more global dangerous climate. Let� s theyre not. If it leads to a more global dangerous climate. Lets turn a little closer global dangerous climate. Lets turn a little closer to global dangerous climate. Lets turn a little closer to home. The guardian focusing on something that people are talking about today, pubs and this idea that potentially, i dont want to call it a vaccine passport, because were talking about local, but some kind of proof that people have had the vaccine in the Hospitality Industry is very vocal about this. Vocal about this. This actually follows what vocal about this. This actually follows what george vocal about this. This actually follows what george was vocal about this. This actually i follows what george was saying, vocal about this. This actually follows what george was saying, that its notjust older people that need vaccinations, its younger people too, and the guardian is saying that perhaps the idea of having these passports for Health Certificates were going for it to the pub is a way to incentivize younger people, because they are far less likely to die or be set variously ill. There are concerns that therefore, the uptake of the vaccine may be lower in younger age groups. Therefore, tempt them with the chances of going to the pub only if theyve had a vaccine and you might well see that uptake increase. The guardian is quoting government insiders, saying Thatis Quoting government insiders, saying that is kind of the policy that it was suggesting. It is a nudge to get younger people to take the vaccine, but of course it is usually controversial, and theres been real backlash from the Hospitality Industry over the suggestion of having certification at all. Because the impact on those businesses, which have been hugely hit, then youre asking more staff to check that someones had a test or had a vaccine as well as the fact that its very controversial to impose Something Like certification on something. To go to the pub. Abs, Something Like certification on something. To go to the pub. A, lot something. To go to the pub. A lot of discussion. Something. To go to the pub. A lot of discussion. This something. To go to the pub. A lot of discussion. This has something. To go to the pub. A lot of discussion. This has sparked an awful lot of discussion. It has another side to this in terms of lorry drivers. Facing a compulsory covid test. Again, haulyears facing a compulsory covid test. Again, haul years entering england. Potentially tested, and again, its the idea of having to go on undergo something. The idea of having to go on undergo something. The idea of having to go on undergo something. Well, i think with [or undergo something. Well, i think with lorry drivers, undergo something. Well, i think with lorry drivers, its undergo something. Well, i think with lorry drivers, its entirely with lorry drivers, its entirely sensible with lorry drivers, its entirely sensible. The absurd thing is the pandemic sensible. The absurd thing is the pandemic has been ongoing for over a year. Pandemic has been ongoing for over a year. And pandemic has been ongoing for over a year. And for pandemic has been ongoing for over a year, and for a long time, lots of people year, and for a long time, lots of people could enter the uk without any mandatory testing requirements. We simply any mandatory testing requirements. We simply had to take people by their word. We simply had to take people by theirword. Orassume we simply had to take people by their word. Or assume that if they knew their word. Or assume that if they knew they their word. Or assume that if they knew they were infectious, they would knew they were infectious, they would stay away. That meant even in the period would stay away. That meant even in the period when we are driving down cases. The period when we are driving down cases. New the period when we are driving down cases, new chains of an infection were cases, new chains of an infection were being cases, new chains of an infection were being imported into the countrv were being imported into the country. Its absurd that we had so few Quarantine Requirements for so long. Few Quarantine Requirements for so long. And few Quarantine Requirements for so long, and more testing at borders. Obviously. Long, and more testing at borders. Obviously, this process has to be managed obviously, this process has to be managed carefully, particularly in the case managed carefully, particularly in the case of. Lorry drivers because they the case of. Lorry drivers because they supply the case of. Lorry drivers because they supply goods. But its futile if you they supply goods. But its futile if you have the vaccine and youre vaccinating if you have the vaccine and youre vaccinating large parts of the population, but you risk new strains and new population, but you risk new strains and new cases constantly being imported. And new cases constantly being im orted. ~ � and new cases constantly being imorted. ~ �. , imported. Weve got the department for transoort imported. Weve got the Department For Transport responding imported. Weve got the Department For Transport responding to imported. Weve got the Department For Transport responding to this for transport responding to this particular story in the telegraph, saying its not exactly confirming the story. The Government Spokesperson is quoted as saying requirements for holly years. Hauliers. We are carefully monitoring cases in europe and we will keep all measures as we cautiously remove restrictions for throughout our road map. All eyes at the moment on what is happening in terms of this third wave thats going through europe. Absolutely. Hue going through europe. Absolutely. Huge pressure going through europe. Absolutely. Huge pressure on going through europe. Absolutely. Huge pressure on the going through europe. Absolutely. Huge pressure on the government| going through europe. Absolutely. I huge pressure on the government to do something to make sure he doesnt. Soon because weve seen in the last two waves, cases rising again in the uk and the real concern now is that there are various concerns spreading across the country that the vaccines are less effective, therefore we dont want to be marching ahead on our Vaccine Programme only for it to be completely undermined by new strains arriving from europe. Arriving from europe. Looking at the lan arriving from europe. Looking at the [an for arriving from europe. Looking at the plan for the arriving from europe. Looking at the plan for the booster arriving from europe. Looking at the plan for the boosterjab. Arriving from europe. Looking at the plan for the boosterjab. Just arriving from europe.
