Reactions to the US backing the waving of Covid vaccines intellectual property rights

Newsday

Available for over a year

The US has lent its support to a call by India and South Africa, among others, to waive intellectual property protections for coronavirus vaccines. The move could mean more production and better access for less wealthy countries. We get a reaction from India. We have an interview with the US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken discussing what is driving US foreign policy. And we take a look at the rampant insecurity in Nigeria. It's in all corners of the country and the President Buhari as commander in chief is accused of having lost control.
