The Health Secretary Matt hancock has been speaking about the global vaccination programme, along with cuts to the uks international aid. He was speaking before a meeting in oxford of G7 Health ministers. It is incredibly important. We are coming together to work out how we can get over this pandemic all across the world. Clearly we are making good progress here in the uk but this is not over it is incredibly important. Until it is over everywhere. That includes vaccinating right around the world. The biggest single contribution that we can make is the oxford astrazeneca vaccine. Now half A Billion doses have been delivered globally, most of them in lower and middle income countries. I will be working with my g7 partners and how we keep expanding that global Vaccination Effort and also how we as a world can be better prepared in the future, especially for these diseases that cross the boundary between animals and humans, and make sure that we have a better early warning system. Because it is inevitable there will be problems like this in the future. What is your message going to be to your fellow health Ministers Today . We need to work together to expand access to vaccines globally. The biggest contribution that we can make is making sure that, especially in low and middle income countries, that these vaccines are available at cost. That is what we have done with the oxford astrazeneca vaccine. That is what we need to see more of. Other Vaccine Companies have made moves in that direction, like pfizer, which are welcome. But ultimately we are only going to get out of this global pandemic when the whole world is able to get out. That is why it is important that we work together with the g7 partners and others to make sure that we can get out of this together. Speaking of helping the developing world, many of your colleagues next week are proposing to rebel against this reduction to the foreign aid budget. Will you be supporting them . No. We have a very generous international aid programme. We have difficult fiscal times here in the uk because of the pandemic. The biggest contribution that we can make to ending this pandemic is the fact that we put the investment in here in oxford, to develop the oxford astrazeneca vaccine, and now, with astrazeneca, we make it available at cost to the whole world. That does not take aid, that takes british science and then making sure that we make that available generously to everybody, at cost, without taking a charge for the intellectual property. That is the sort of thing we can do to help the whole world get out of this pandemic. We are going to hear more later today about countries that may or may not be added to the green list. As Health Secretary how concerned are you about this . Have you lobbied for countries to stay on the Amber List, for example . Are you worried in general about british people going abroad at the moment . We have got to follow the data. Of course i understand why people want to travel. Of course i do. But we have got to make sure that we keep this country safe, especially with the Vaccine Programme doing so well. We have seen the number of people in hospital, right down. The number of people who sadly are dying from covid come right down. We have got to protect the progress we have made here at home, whilst of course allowing for travel where its safe to do so. Youve got to follow the data. Switch to education. The Resignation Yesterday over the schools recovery plan, has this government failed a generation of children . No. The consequences of the pandemic are obviously serious. Children have not been able to get all the education they needed. Our plan is to make sure that everybody can get that education back. The Education Secretary is doing a greatjob bringing that plan together and working incredibly hard to make sure children get the recovery of the education that they need to. This has been one of the toughest years, particularly for children. There is general dismay at the lack of money here. Where you personally surprised by how little was proposed . The Education Secretary has been working incredibly hard to deliver a package of support to make sure that children can recover that education, any education that has been lost over the last year, because of the consequences of the pandemic. Borisjohnson had indicated that more money could be coming down the road. Is this the Treasury Overruling number ten . I do not know and i dont want to get into any of that. What i do know is that Gavin Williamson is doing a great job working on this to make sure he ensures children can get that education to recover from what has been a very difficult year. More now on Opposition Parties in israel agreeing to join forces and form a new Coalition Government involving eight parties. If approved it would see an end to Benjamin Netanyahus 12 years in power. Earlier Lukwesa Burak spoke to gideon levy, an author and a journalist at israeli newspaper haaretz. She began by asking him whether he thought the deal would hold. Well, the feeling is that it will make it through, even though its extremely fragile and every few hours, you hear about another Member Of Parliament who is hesitating, but i believe that next week, there will be a new government in israel which does not necessarily mean that this government will last forever or for years, but time will show. Some of those mps that you said are hesitating, does that give mr netanyahu, then, a chance to capitalise on that hesitation and maybe sabotage the coalition . You can trust netanyahu that he is doing anything he can and even much more than this to sabotage this government. Until now, without any success, and even if he succeeds even now, i tend to believe that until next week, what was decided yesterday, what was signed yesterday, will be implemented into a new government. Ok, so you can agree a coalition, but what about governing . Thats going to be a whole other matter, isnt it . Its quite marginal, isnt it . I think they may govern because the impression that people get from outside as if its a Unity Government or a real broad government, by The End of the day, its a right Wing Government and as a right Wing Government, i think that many things will be found, things in common. Right now, the only thing that unites them is their Hatred And Disgust of mr netanyahu, but i think once they will start to run the country, they will find that, nevertheless, the slogans and the promises, at The End of the day, they are all right wingers, almost all right wingers. Ok, so youre describing it as a predominantly right wing Led Coalition or government. Where is it or potentially where could it potentially fall apart, then . There are eight parties involved here. It can fall apart on any issue and, you know, you dont need much to make a coalition with a majority of one voice to fall, you know . Its enough that one Member Of Parliament will be unsatisfied with something and you dont have a government. Thats a very fragile situation, but maybe other Parties Willjoin later when they will see that this government is there to stay. Its hard tojudge in israeli politics, but in the major issues, like thejewish supremacy, like the continuance of the occupation and like even the settlement issue, i dont see much disagreement between the biggest parties in this coalition and therefore it might last. If we move out of israel and the region itself, why is it so important that stability, that a stable government, a stable coalition is put in place quickly . First of all, im not sure it is so important. We are after two years of a lack of stability, of four campaigns for elections and at The End of the day, stability by itself is not a target. The question is stability to what . And if stability is only to maintain the Status Quo, which i think it will, then it didnt achieve much because israel is facing major, fatal problems and above all, obviously, the palestinian issue and maintaining the Status Quo leads us nowhere. A Cargo Ship carrying chemicals is sinking off the coast of sri lanka, sparking fears of an environmental disaster. The X Press Pearl had been on fire for almost a fortnight before the blaze was put out this week. Hundreds of tonnes of oil from Fuel Tanks could leak into the sea, devastating nearby marine life. Tanya dendrinos reports. A pristine coastline and a looming environmental disaster. The X Press Pearl has been ablaze for two weeks, and despite the efforts of the Sri Lankan and indian navies, it is sinking. Translation there are two possibilities. | either all the fuel has caught fire, or the oil could still be there. If the oil is still there, we have already taken precautionary steps to handle that situation in case there is a leak. On wednesday, attempts were made to tow the vessel to deeper waters to minimise marine pollution. But attempts were later abandoned. Beaches along the West Coast have been littered with debris, and the government has banned fishing along an 80 Kilometre Stretch of coastline. Boats lie covered on the shore, and livelihoods are on the line. Translation the ship has dealt a Death Blow to our lives. We cant go to sea, which means we cant make a living. The singapore flagged Container Vessel was carrying close to 1,500 containers including 25 tonnes of Nitric Acid and several other dangerous chemicals. Sri Lankan Officials believe the fire was caused by a Nitric Acid leak, which the crew had been aware of since may 11. Translation similar incidents have taken place in other countries, and those governments have taken steps to get compensation. We hope to get compensation in accordance with local and international law. We will never give up on that effort. We will calculate the cost from the beginning of this incident. Questions have now been raised about why the ship was allowed into Sri Lankan waters after being rejected by two other nations. A Police Complaint has been lodged against the captain, with a Court Order issued to prevent them along with the Chief Engineer and an additional engineer from leaving the country. Tanya dendrinos, Bbc News. A Bbc Investigation has revealed widespread allegations of sexual Harassment And Abuse in the afghan police force. After months of research, the bbc has spoken to a number of women who say they were raped or assaulted by senior officers or colleagues. Human rights groups say the majority of the attacks go unreported. Carefully screening bags to prevent explosives getting into kabul, a crucial task for these policewomen. A few years ago, there were no policewomen to do this job. Even today, there are almost 4,000 female Police Officers in afghan national police. And by posting these Propaganda Videos on social media, the government intends to recruit more. But theres another side to this, a side some policewomen say the government doesnt show. Four years ago, momena joined the police after watching a promotional video, but what she says she experienced was very different. She says her boss attacked her one night. Translation he tore apart my dress. The door was closed. I shouted and yelled but No One came for help because they were scared of him as he was the Police Chief. He raped me then he threw me out. She spent the next six months seeking justice, but a court found the accused not guilty. The Police Chief says the allegations are baseless. It was then that she decided to set herself on fire in public. This is her in tears and soaked in petrol in march last year. The crowd stopped herjust as she was about to ignite herself. The judge in Momenas Case said she didnt provide enough evidence for a conviction. We spoke to several policewomen who experienced Sexual Abuse on duty, but say they never reported it to protect their dignity, honour and career. The government admits this is an issue. Translation we have | to take serious decisions. If someone can harass these women, they can also harass others, therefore we need to cleanse the police lines. Most of the accused are powerful men backed by powerful sources, and those who document cases of abuse in the police are under immense pressure by the suspects. Translation unfortunately, in 2019 and 2020, we even had cases in which plaintiffs were raped when they referred to police stations, on their way to the shelters. Its impossible to know how many women have been victims of Sexual Abuse in the police, but the evidence we have gathered over months suggests its widespread. Back in daykundi, momena continues her quest forjustice. She shows the amount of documents she had gathered for her case. Papers she says give her nothing but yet more sorrow and trauma. Despite pressures and intimidations to drop their petitions, the women we have spoken to say they will never give up in the fight for their rights. It started selling books now amazon supplies just about every product you can think of but is healthcare the next frontier for the online giant . Amazon has built a brand new laboratory here in the uk to process covid 19 tests and identify Virus Variants from across europe. At the moment, its only being used to test amazon 5 own workforce. To find out more, our correspondent Colletta Smith has been given exclusive access to the site in manchester. This is the first delivery of the day. Amazon staff are used to Processing Parcels fast, but this isnt a normal warehouse. Whats inside these boxes isnt the usual amazon order. These are covid 19 tests from Amazon Staff right across europe. We decided during the Covid Outbreak that we really needed to maximise their protection to make sure that they were safe working in the Fulfilment Centres. And so the purpose of this laboratory is to test them for the presence of covid 19 virus. These medical samples are the full tests that youd normally have to go to a Government Centre for. But amazon have been testing their own workforce since september, and processing the results in house. Very much our results correlate with the rest of the world, so we do see how our Fulfilment Centres are within those communities and so we do see the same trends as the rest of the uk and the rest of europe across time. At the nearby giant warehouse, staff are queuing for their voluntary tests before they go on shift. Like that, then go like that. Its an investment of billions. We normally have a rota, so its a regular basis. So i asked the regional manager, neil, if this is a Trial Run for medical testing for their customers. This isjust really building up on our infrastructure. Again, the datas confidential, we share it with public Health England so they have visibility of that. And this was just really in response to the covid pandemic. Do you think its reasonable that an employer holds that medical information . The datas anonymous. We dont. Its confidential, we share it with public Health England so they have a record of that. But beyond that, we dont use it in any capacity. Amazons most valuable product is the information they already hold about us their customers. This new lab is a way for the worlds biggest online retailer to tap into the pool of medical data.
