[00:00.04]India's new limits on AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine exports
[00:07.20]has forced several Asian nations to find new suppliers.
[00:13.44]The country's Serum Institute is manufacturing the AstraZeneca vaccine.
[00:20.64]India decided recently to temporarily limit exports of the medicine
[00:26.84]as the nation itself faces rising demand for vaccines.
[00:32.92]The Serum Institute had planned to produce 90 million doses
[00:39.56]for the World Health Organization-backed COVAX vaccine program.
[00:46.12]The international program aims to deploy COVID-19 vaccines
[00:51.80]to poorer nations around the world.
[00:55.68]It was not immediately clear how many vaccine doses
[01:00.28]would be set aside for use in India.
[01:03.68]But Indian export restrictions could interfere
[01:08.60]with the COVAX program, which aims to serve 64 nations.
[01:15.24]Vaccine production problems already trouble the program.
[01:20.00]It also struggles from a lack of money.
[01:24.32]Wealthy countries are not providing enough financial support
[01:28.92]to COVAX, COVAX officials say.
[01:33.12]The shortage is likely to leave poor countries without necessary
[01:38.40]vaccine supplies and lead to increases in vaccine inequity.
[01:45.12]It could also make it more difficult for some nations
[01:49.64]to control COVID-19 as new virus versions appear.
[01:56.12]South Korea, Indonesia, the Philippines and Vietnam
[02:01.36]are among countries to be hit by vaccine shipment delays
[02:06.24]under the COVAX program.
[02:08.88]Carlito Galvez is heading COVID-19 vaccine efforts in the Philippines.
[02:16.52]He told reporters that COVAX shortages
[02:20.84]mean the country's "planned increase in daily vaccinations will be affected."
[02:28.44]In Indonesia, a health ministry official told Reuters
[02:33.28]that 10.3 million doses from COVAX were likely to be delayed until May.
[02:41.40]South Korea confirmed it would only receive 432,000 doses
[02:48.72]of the 690,000 it was promised and would likely not receive those
[02:55.88]until around the third week of April.
[02:59.76]The head of South Korea's COVID-19 vaccination effort, Kim Ki-nam,
[03:06.24]said the country was "making efforts to secure more vaccines."
[03:12.88]In the Philippines, President Rodrigo Duterte
[03:17.00]decided to loosen government restrictions on private vaccine imports
[03:23.00]to make it easier for companies to get much-needed supplies.
[03:28.32]In Vietnam, officials have also sought help from private companies
[03:34.52]after the nation's COVAX supplies were cut by 40 percent
[03:40.24]and shipments now face long delays.
[03:44.92]India has not provided details on how long its export restriction will last.
[03:52.08]But UNICEF, a COVAX partner,
[03:55.48]recently said shipments are expected to restart by May.
[04:01.36]WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus
[04:07.48]said Tuesday that COVAX needed 10 million vaccine doses
[04:12.80]immediately to fill an urgent need.
[04:16.88]"We are already in discussion with some countries
[04:20.56]and there is some positive signal," he said.
[04:24.40]Data from UNICEF shows that India itself had received
[04:30.28]over a third of the nearly 28 million doses of AstraZeneca vaccines
[04:36.56]from COVAX so far, the most of any country.
[04:41.48]News that the largest amount of the program's
[04:44.72]Indian-made vaccines had never left India
[04:48.48]could add to criticism of the Indian government and COVAX.
[04:54.80]Africa is highly dependent on COVAX for its vaccines.
[05:00.08]Nearly all the 89 million doses the continent was to receive through COVAX
[05:06.60]in the coming weeks were AstraZeneca from India.
[05:12.08]Reuters reported that just 15 million doses had been received so far.
[05:19.04]"We have good diplomatic relations with China and Russia
[05:24.20]and we are asking if we can have access to their vaccines in April,"
[05:29.92]said the Philippines' Carlito Galvez.
[05:33.52]Both the Philippines and Indonesia
[05:37.44]are currently depending heavily on vaccines
[05:40.88]from China's Sinovac Biotech.
[05:44.24]The Philippines and Vietnam have also approved Russia's Sputnik V vaccine,
[05:51.64]along with more than 50 other mainly developing nations.

END OF TRACK. "END OF TRACK." The two men bowed. "Whoever was that person you were talking to?" she enquired, as soon as they stood together. The took of triumph faded from her eyes, she had grown worn and weary. The roses were wilting on the walls, the lights were mostly down now. Hetty, looking in to see if anything was wanted, found herself driven away almost fiercely. I only saw Master Jervie once when he called at tea time, The year 1747 was opened by measures of restriction. The House of Lords, offended at the publication of the proceedings of the trial of Lord Lovat, summoned the parties to their bar, committed them to prison, and refused to liberate them till they had pledged themselves not to repeat the offence, and had paid very heavy fees. The consequence of this was that the transactions of the Peers were almost entirely suppressed for nearly thirty years from this time, and we draw our knowledge of them chiefly from notes taken by Horace Walpole and Lord Chancellor Hardwicke. What is still more remarkable, the reports of the House of Commons, being taken by stealth, and on the merest sufferance, are of the most meagre kind, sometimes altogether wanting, and the speeches are given uniformly under fictitious names; for to have attributed to Pitt or Pelham their[112] speeches by name would have brought down on the printers the summary vengeance of the House. Many of the members complained bitterly of this breach of the privileges of Parliament, and of "being put into print by low fellows"; but Pelham had the sense to tolerate them, saying, "Let them alone; they make better speeches for us than we can make for ourselves." Altogether, the House of Commons exhibited the most deplorable aspect that can be conceived. The Ministry had pursued Walpole's system of buying up opponents by place, or pension, or secret service money, till there was no life left in the House. Ministers passed their measures without troubling themselves to say much in their behalf; and the opposition dwindled to Sir John Hinde Cotton, now dismissed from office, and a feeble remnant of Jacobites raised but miserable resistance. In vain the Prince of Wales and the secret instigations of Bolingbroke and Doddington stimulated the spirit of discontent; both Houses had degenerated into most silent and insignificant arenas of very commonplace business. "It certainly will be. Miss Widgeon," answered Maria, with strictly "company manners." "One who has never had a brother exposed to the constant dangers of army life can hardly understand how glad we all feel to have Si snatched from the very jaws of death and brung back to us." "Just plug at 'em as you would at a crow, and then go on your way whistlin'?" persisted Harry. "Hurroo!" echoed Hennessey; "that's the ticket." "Come forward, keeper," continued the baron, "and state how these arrows came into your hands!" "Yes." HoMEJULIA京香2018下载
