Covid-19 vaccines: Gordon Brown on G7 helping poorer countries

The US and Europe should pay a quarter of the cost each to vaccinate poorer nations, a former UK prime minister has claimed.

Gordon Brown said the G7 and other wealthier nations "should pay their share” to help parts of Africa and Asia.

He said it should not be left to a "whip round" to deal with a "disease that has got be to be brought under control".
