Was close to a 1000000 deaths and nearly 30000000 infections the race to find a Coronavirus Vaccine is rapidly heating up but the world it needs billions of doses to effectively end the pandemic and there are fears poor nations will lose out the aid group oxfam says the planets wealthiest countries accounting for 13 percent of the global population have bought more than 50 percent of promised doses and if even all the trial succeeded says nearly 2 thirds of people will not have access to the vaccine until 2022 there is some hope though the World Health Organization says more than 170 countries have joined its plan to distribute 2000000000 doses for fairly around the globe by the end of next year about 40 vaccines are currently being tested on humans china says it could have one ready for the public by November Katrina you reports. While the world awaits a Coronavirus Vaccine hundreds of thousands in china are receiving their 2nd job of one being tested there medical workers military officers and Civil Servants were among those given emergency use approval for experimental vaccines earlier this year 9 of the over 30 Coronavirus Vaccines undergoing human trials around the world are being produced in china Chinas Center for Disease Control says 1 may be rolled out to the public as early as november but you know china is at the forefront of the whole world in the development and production of vaccine there are currently. 900. 00 world that have entered phase 3 and china accounts for.

Says vaccine trials are going smoothly and new side effects have been documented but medical experts in the u. S. And u. K. Have described chinese allusions to use programs as problematic saying effectiveness cannot be proven before testing is completed. Ill just irritating a great sylvesters chief medical officer at securus one of the largest Flu Vaccine Companies in the world he joins me live by skype from new jersey sir thank you so much for joining us here on aljazeera another company that you work for is collaborating with the university of queensland both in the development and then obviously then crucially the manufacturing of any future vaccine theres a lot of trials going on around the world right now explain to us what difference it makes when one of those will hopefully find a successful vaccine what are the following steps. Well yes we are a thank you for having me on once one of the trials breaks through or one of the companies has a successful Clinical Program they will then give it to regulatory agencies around the globe to have but licensed or used for an emergency youth use authorization and its with that then no manufacturer would sell it without having a government approved it prior to it going into large scale human up election and that is the stage that no one has reached yet even though i suppose according to Different Countries different tests might have reached Different Levels the truth is no one has has has it approved yet but explain to us what the manufacturing process is like because it does seem that a lot of. A lot of companies actually started the manufacturing waiting for the vaccine to be approved so once one is approved how quickly could it be sent around the world well in this case because its a pandemic what theyve done is theyve taken the vaccine that theyre using in their Clinical Trials and theyre hitting their bets that its going to work so they started the manufacturing process typically what we would do is we would wait for the Clinical Trials to be over with we would wait for a Regulatory Approval and a licensure and then we would start manufacturing the vaccine because this is so important and because its a pandemic many of those steps have been shortened yes but the aid group oxfam is saying that the wealthiest countries in the world accounting for 13 percent of the population have actually bought 50 percent half of the promised vaccine doses what is the risk that even when the vaccine is approved and then manufactured ultimately its just not going to reach many many parts of the world. Well i do understand that that is a concern and i know the w. H. O. Has is keeping a close eye on that we are working with International Agencies to make sure that if we are back seen as successful that it not only get to people in the developed world but also in the developing but how are you trying to ensure that that happens and i appreciate the things you know you dont have a successful vaccine yet but how are you trying to looking ahead ensure that that is not whats going to happen when we look at large Public Health agencies like the w. H. O. Like pothole and a whole host of others like the aids foundation that are working to try to make it more equitable and those are the conversations that we are involved with to make sure that its not just going to a developed country i suppose so where it goes also hugely depends on how much the vaccine would cost a year or stage in trials you have any idea how much a single dose at a might cost well in the early stages of a vaccine its very expensive because were trying to make sure that weve got all the rating greedy and senate and then it gets filled up and so making 100 doses is far doses much more expensive than making a 1000000 doses or 50000000 so i dont have an answer for how much ours might be costing today in our phase one trials in what may be when we if we are successful when we develop 50000000 doses i suppose i mean obviously a demand for this is going to outstrip the demand i would guess for almost any other kind of vaccine around the world so do you expect the cost roughly like a normal flu jab or are you saying its just impossible to tell at this point. Well i think most companies have publicly stated that they wanted to get out to the best majority of people and so we are an influenza company thats what we do and i think that we are very committed to having price parity and that in that area we all know that there is obviously a huge political pressure in getting a vaccine out were seeing it specifically in the United States because theres an election but obviously thats hugely important to every country in the world do you think that there is a risk that many people are not going to trust the vaccine that ultimately theyre going to feel its being rushed out is that something that that you are aware of or thinking about well i know that in our company and thats what i can speak to in our company we are focused on safety as our number one issue but dont forget that and i believe that all the companies are are thinking that safety is critical but thats where the Regulatory Agency needs the food and Drug Administration and others around the globe theyre the ones that ultimately will decide have have we. Crossed the very are to demonstrate to them that its not only effective but its also safe and so were its a 2 part system we play a very serious role but so does so do National Governments and the like Greg Sylvester chief medical officer at securus one of the largest Flu Vaccine Companies in the world sir thank you so much for having shared your expertise with us thank you. Coming up in the news hour a young man is killed when supporters of ivory coasts president clash with rival protestors schools reopen in Rio De Janeiro despite confusion and changes to coronavirus rules and then sports the Billie Jean King cup one of the biggest tournaments in tennis gets a new name. About 5000 refugees stranded on the greek island of lesbos have been really how was the next camp built by the military they were among more than 12000 left homeless when the notoriously overcrowded morea camp burned down last week but that still leaves thousands of others in need of Emergency Shelter Stephanie Decker reports from the scene. They came with a clear message just after 1st light an unexpected wake up call for the thousands of refugees and migrants whove been sleeping on the streets here going to become. You know i dont know man should remember them quite good and our unique. You know hallowed. Ground. But police work they can. Many have been reluctant to go to the new tent camp just down the road afraid of the conditions many saying they believe once they enter they wont be able to leave a group of people wearing hazmat suits against the coronavirus have now joined the riot police i think the message here at the moment certainly is one of peaceful force a very clear message from the authorities at the time is up to the refugees and migrants bending here that they need to move to the county and if they dont do that willingly that force will be used these Police Officers were dressed in protective clothing due to the coronavirus as they motion for people to wake up and make their way to the camp many started to move telling us they had no choice he said go go go go go go go it was so of the way problems you know not even here one here 6 rows i leave you. But no i go to the go and i dont know how many long time youre leaving one years 3 years 3 years i keep to the co thats. Most here just want to leave the island some people got inside and they said for ascalon to me and that is a very bad. Note no electric no other for a drinking and. Thats not happening any time soon outside the new camp the immediate result of this operation waiting under the scorching midday sun to be registered and test. For the coronavirus the greek government is making it clear this is the only option for the refugees where they can be provided for and where their paperwork will be resumed. Today we are doing the obvious thing is a democratic and Civilized Society migrants are being moved from the streets to the new camp from being abandoned to being cared for from hygienic dangers to control and protection of Public Health from no water to order. Its been 9 days since morea camp europes largest refugee camp burned to the ground since then most of its 12000 people have been sleeping on the roadsides or wherever they can find shelter most have been waiting for more than a year for an answer to their asylum requests now many tell us it feels like theyre somehow starting all over Stephanie Decker aljazeera this was island greece so dan is bracing for more floods and heavy rains that are also expected to hit neighboring ethiopia more than 100 people have been killed by flash floods that have wreaked havoc in sudan since late july more than 650000 others have been affected and about 120000 homes have been destroyed the heavy rainfall is led to the river nile rising to its highest levels in a sentry a 3 month state of emergency has been enforced by the government for hama that though isnt one of sudans war stuff at that towns singa he says 31000 people have been this place there alone. The situation is really desperate for this. In one of the primary schools in the heart of the town of seeing. A very cross room in the school is packed with up to 20 families the ease congestion food deliveries yes come but again some say they do not and now during the day and they are also concerned that they have nowhere to go back to because their homes have either been damaged very much by the floods or totally destroyed so it will take them a while to go back and piece their lives together but right now the nongovernmental organizations that are caring for the displeased people in the city not a state which seemed that you straight if it was is up to thought to 1000 people displaced and affected by the floods in just this state alone so you can understand the magnitude of the problem but the main concern of the agencies right now the residents of up to 18 villages that have been totally marooned on cut off from the rest of the state by the floods they have tried to have a quite some people but many of the people from these villages are not willing to leave their herds and their crops that are still under water behind and the concern for those people mostly one of the 40 candidates barred from running in ivory coasts election next month says there wont be a vote unless they are on the ballot former Prime Minister agree sorrow is calling for protests to continue against the reelection bid of president ouattara a court has cleared the way for him to run for a 3rd term even though the limit is 2 victoria getting reports.
