We speak to Anna Marriott of Oxfam GB and the People’s Vaccine Alliance. She discusses the Peoples Vaccine Alliance campaign for a patent-free global public coronavirus vaccine, the G7’s ‘failure’ to help bring the pandemic under control, how they have donated under a billion vaccine doses when 11 million are needed, how big pharma prioritising profit and governments refusing to lift patents on vaccines is damaging the developing world and plunging millions into poverty, and much more! We speak to South Sudan’s Ambassador to the UK Agnes Oswaha. She discusses the first 10 years of South Sudan’s existence and the difficulties posed by natural disasters like floods and locusts, the coronavirus situation there, Chinese investment into the country, South Sudan’s geopolitics with the US, UK and China competing for influence, alleged US pressure on South Sudan to stop deepening ties with China, and much more!
