Listening script

First of all, I welcome bill gates on the sky news Arabia channel, and
I’m going to interview him about the changes that might happen in the
next years.
The journalists: how close we have come to finding the vaccine for
the corona virus and what are the expected possibilities that will
happen when the vaccine is found?
Bill gates: well, I think that the only vaccine that if everything went
perfectly, might seek the emergency use license by the end of October.
The journalist: the world is holding its breath while waiting for a
vaccine to be found for the Coranavirus, how close we are to finding a
vaccine?
Bill gates: I have high hopes and positive expectations perhaps
everything will return as it was before, but it may happen some
changes that can hinder the success of the vaccine.
Journalists: what positive and negative changes can we expect from
the emergence of the vaccine?
Bill gates: I’m so optimistic that the lost ground would be recovered
however; there will be a period of intense pain and even greater
inequity between rich countries and poor ones.
Journalist: if the word gets rid of the dangerous of COVID 19, is
there a possibility that it will rise again?
Bill gates: The damage has been wrought less by the virus — so far it
has killed much smaller percentages of the populations of Asia and
Africa than of the Americas and Western Europe than by the
economic impact, which has been far greater in countries, so it might
reappear in a violent way from what we previously knew”.
