and the u. k. will not be what you are doing if i pay for not well, no, because most of them are not doing that because they know that that's, that's not really the answer. no, if i, if i was the m p for, for country i'm from now, i would be telling my party, whichever party i was in to be stopping implementing the protocol. i mean, it's ludicrous that we're opposing it in northern ireland, but we're implementing it by having people searching or even stopping. or you know, the ideas that you cannot bring something in from your own country and whether you believe in a united ireland or not. you don't like northern ireland, the reality is where part of the united kingdom. but you know, you, if people want that change, then i have to be a proper mechanism to do that through the vote in the bell agreement. and that's not happening. and the day to day difficult, you know, now we've got the europe in union changing it attitude to feeding animals to other animals and northern ireland because it stayed wit

k. and i, i've never really understood what i do understand why the border between northern company has been become such an issue, but there was no need for it to become such an issue. and i think if you look back, you will remember that when we 1st voted to leave for a very short period of time, the irish government were involved in discussions with the u. k. s civil service level, about technical arrangements. what could happen then? teach up for radco came in and he stopped all of that because i think by that time, you know, i think the european union had actually realized that northern on with a very useful little bit of the united kingdom, that they could drip drip away at the british government and annoy, annoyed them and indeed punished them and it was used as a kind of weapon. at the same time, the irish government sought as also wanting to be very much part of the use of sticking by the use. but also, i think they saw it as a useful opportunity to, to get a united ireland in ter

but shouldn't we have faith and the seen them in the u. k. has one of the highest vaccinated percentages of the population in the entire world? shouldn't we just put her faith in the vaccine to, to believe that that will be enough to suppress the virus? well, it seems to the provincial and serious disease, they're not quite preventing transmission. the trouble is that you, you only have, i think about 55 percent of the population at this point and that's clearly not enough. so the thing that really amazes us is why the u. k is not waiting until it's scott white or high coverage with respect seen in particular. you could vaccinate down to 12 year olds, possibly even younger age groups in the future. and that's the parts being taken across europe in north america, and certainly the approach and you see, and i mean they're rolling up at sea now and we've got approval to vaccinate rage. and we wouldn't think of relaxing god until we had very high coverage. down to those younger age groups. crescent make us look in the form of his guidance for you

so i don't think it will probably be 2022 before the kinds of vaccination rates you've seen in the u. k or, or in israel or united states are going to be achievable in africa. and it may very well be in the 2nd half of 2022. again, that would be a remarkable speed for a global immunization program. remember, it took us a decade for a small box. so there are 3 potential crises. the 1st is a humanitarian. we know from modeling that if there is not equity in the distribution of the 1st 2000000000 doses of axiom global cobit that's currently over 3 and a half 1000000, could double the epidemic. the pandemic can be prolonged and no one wants that. the 2nd argument is economic, and this comes from multiple sources. and the last one is kind of interesting. the birth of the brookings institute, the national board of economic review, and now the u. s. white house office of national intelligence are essentially saying that if there is not, if we cannot provide equity in the distribution of vaccines, then high income countries will pay an economic cost. that economic costs are estimated this yea

it will overlap strongly with when schools are on. and that would be supported by the fact that last week, a 1000000 school children in england were off or paying off for self isolated because of classmates. they are teachers who had been dead 5 corona 5. if the schools were a vector for the fax and high went to a 1000000 children back at home last week. well, i think a 1000000 workers are also back at home this week all day. and we've got to companies like felix dogs saying organizations like felix, i dog saying that they're almost on the cost of not being able to operate. we've got certain other operators sort of said we're just going to have to shut up shop at the moment because we do not have enough staff to run our business safely or effectively. this is being double the paying demick for all just to understands the behavior of viruses and protect the support and highly infectious new strain of corona virus. what was your passionately, actually when you, you saw the scenes of rebels in nightclubs celebrating freedom day and, or g
