Depended on co vax. it was getting its main supply from india. they are redirecting it to india itself. its a huge challenge in africa. >> how much of a backlog do you think there is? >> well, weve got a lot of catching up to do. theres a need to get the vaccines into the continent so at least 20% of the population can be vaccinated in 20 months. roughly one out of four countries, about 14 in africa, already in the third wave. so the sooner vaccines can arrive, the better. i was very pleased the...

Putin, going on to say there is no reason to believe the outcome will vary from previous u.s. attempts at cooperation with mr. putin. so do you have any specific, concrete reason to be optimistic that this timeline will be any different? >> well, first of all, dana, im not sure if "the washington post" watched the entire press conference that president biden held after the summit with president putin because in that press conference, he explicitly said the proof of the pudding will be in the eat...
