fire from lawmakers and regulators and former employees, social media giant facebook is rebranding. this is bbc news. the president of indonesia says that wealthy countries are not doing enough to ensure coronavirus vaccines reach all parts of the world. less than half of the country's 275,000,000 people have received their first dose of vaccine. joko widodo is calling for global solidarity to battle the pandemic and for vaccine manufacturing to be spread across countries. vaccine should be equally distributed to all countries there should not be a few countries they get the vaccines and some only get a little. therefore, indonesia was fairness for access to vaccines. this is hugely important. if that happened, then that would mean a high global solidarity amongst the advanced, poor and developing countries. we need, in the future, to make facilities and manufacturing vaccine centres in both developed and poorer countries, especially in countries, especially in countries with a huge population. it is very important so there is an even distribution of vaccines. i see that everyone has helped, but in my opinion it's not enough. notjust for indonesia, but in my opinion it's not enough. not just for indonesia, but for all developing countries, and especially for poor countries. we need to get this vaccine. it's the most important thing. well, you are managing things better now. initially, your government downplayed the disease and as a result, didn't recognise the dangers until much later. how responsible is your government for these deaths7 yes, at the height of the pandemic there were more than 56,000 cases but now it has gone down and become 600 cases. 0ur hospitals, ourfacilities were full and could not handle the load and that led to a lot of deaths. globalfigures have global figures have caused globalfigures have caused 7 called on western countries to do an airlift of surplus covid vaccines to countries and warned that hundreds of thousands of lives could be lost if vaccines are allowed to inspire. with me as courtney bembridge. pressure is mounting on the richer nations to share vaccines ahead of the g20 summit. who has written this letter? ., , letter? the letter was organised _ letter? the letter was organised by - letter? the letter was organised by the - letter? the letter was l organised by the former letter? the letter was - organised by the former uk prime minister, gordon brown, the signatories are a who's who of recent global leaders, 36 former presidents and more than 30 former prime ministers and more than 100 global influential figures more than 100 global influentialfigures so more than 100 global influential figures so it certainly has the backing of a lot of heavyweight voices and i want to bring up what they have said. the crux is that over 6,000,000,000 doses have been at 7 administered worldwide but 70% were only to a handful of countries while 2% were too low income countries, so a massive vaccine inequality which we have heard since the start of the pandemic would be an issue not only is there inequality, but hundreds of thousands of people will die because vaccine doses will be allowed to expire in rich nations so it's not there is a shortage of doses because when they could expire they could save hundreds of thousands of lives were coronavirus infections are increasing for the first time increasing for the first time in a couple of months and the who held a press conference to address this and they talked about what a pivotal moment it was in the summit this weekend. let's have a listen to doctor ted ross. let's have a listen to doctor ted ross-— let's have a listen to doctor ted ross. , ~ ., , ted ross. this week the leaders ofthe ted ross. this week the leaders of the g20 _ ted ross. this week the leaders of the 620 countries _ ted ross. this week the leaders of the 620 countries will -

doing it? i don't think it is entirely but i think it - doing it? i don't think it is entirely but i think it is . entirely but i think it is related. mark zuckerberg basically got really into the concept over the last year that is from science fiction but is starting to be popularised by a lot of thought leaders in silicon valley and it is this umbrella concept that when a company has lots of platform connected including virtual reality and it has become a passion project and it's almost like what i've heard from sources in the company that he wants to distance himself personally from the problems of the core social network. he wants to look elsewhere and it's almost like he wants to focus on the future and doesn't want to pay attention to the present, so there is a rallying around the ceo's passion project but a political angle as well which is trying to have as well which is trying to have a fresh start with regulators, trying to create the next internet together and it will be privacy orientated and safe and there will be a communications thing going our way, think about it, every time we talk about facebook and a headline, we have to say mehta, so maybe fewer bad headlines with the word facebook in it. it could even be that. you talk about safety — it could even be that. you talk about safety and _ it could even be that. you talk about safety and people -

part of the reason why the ldp does so well is that it's always made sure that the taxpayer money keeps flowing into places in the countryside, particularly to build infrastructure. this place has a perfectly good road on the other side of the valley, but a few years ago, they decided they needed another one. for that, they needed to build this tunnel. you see stuff like this all over ruraljapan — fantastic infrastructure of questionable economic benefit, but one that certainly brings jobs and votes in rural areas. what about japan's opposition parties? a candidate for the communist party is trying to drum up support. there are at least nine opposition parties injapan. it's one reason they do so badly. this is one of the very few ways that opposition parties injapan have of getting their message out to potential voters, because door—to—door campaigning in japan is not allowed, and that gives the incumbent party a tremendous advantage because their leaders are on the television news every night. we asked some young voters if they recognise the leader of japan's biggest opposition party. 0nce or twice, i know his face, but i don't remember his name. are you interested in the election? are you going to bother voting7 actually, no. young urbanites don't vote and don't know who to vote for, but even if they did, their vote would count a lot less than if they lived in the countryside. today, the vast majority of japanese voters live in big cities like this one, but the voting districts have not been modernised to reflect this huge shift of population from the rural to the urban. and very simplistic terms, that means today, you need a lot more votes to get elected in an urban constituency then in a rural one. the large mosaics haitians panic have been restored and it will be hope it will be a major tourist attraction. they are astonishing in their scale and ambition. an intricate ornate sea of stone and colour and detail patterns. these mosaics date back more than 1,000 years part of the very fabric of this land. , ., ., , ., . land. the size of the mosaic anels land. the size of the mosaic panels is — land. the size of the mosaic panels is about _ land. the size of the mosaic panels is about 835 -
