germany has pledged 300000000 euros in humanitarian aid to fight the coronavirus epidemic and poverty and crisis stricken country's foreign minister heiko mass said the virus posed a grave risk to those living in countries struggling with struggling health care systems as well as in war zones and refugee camps he said international solidarity was needed to end the pandemic germany is responding to a call by the united nations to provide an additional $2000000000.00 of relief to contain the outbreak in less developed countries and let's bring in our political comedy correspondent thomas sparrow tell us what is behind germany's decision here . essentially nic what's behind that decision by germany is that a pledge that you mention and also that announcement by the united nations that warning that the pandemic is affecting obviously all countries around the world but not all countries in a very equal way so the most vulnerable countries around the world are suffering more from this pandemic and that's why united nations actually needs that extra

money the money that you mentioned and that explains why germany as well announced so 300000000 and this goes to something very important in germany's foreign policy and that's that idea of multilateralism something that the foreign minister has stressed on various occasions in fact he has been looking for a so-called alliance for multilateralism and this explains why germany is giving this money to the united nations to united nations organizations because they believe germany that the united nations can actually distribute that money accordingly and also help the countries that are most affected by this pandemic the countries that are most vulnerable be it because of a conflict or a war or because of the number of refugees or different reasons why germany has decided to give this money and what the united nations could actually do with it and do we know in detail or some detail what the u.n. may be doing with it. we do know nic in fact it has to do with those 2 key areas that i mentioned the fact that we have vulnerable countries that are vulnerable

because they have been witnessing a conflict or a war of vulnerable groups also groups within the population for example refugees or asylum seekers and when you look exactly was going to happen with the money that germany has been giving to the united nations or 300000000 you can see for example that the world food program will receive a good portion of that or the united nations high commissioner for refugees or the red cross so that gives you an idea of what is going to happen with the money that germany has now pledged. germany has also helped itself out understandably notably with the government's half a trillion euro bailout fund for struggling companies just in relative terms how generous is the u.n. contribution. obviously it's important for the un and for the goals that the u.n. has but this is only one part of germany's efforts worldwide germany has said that obviously solidarity is a key aspect of its foreign policy in particular when it comes to the pandemic but it is also by the way niko very controversial issue when you look for example in

europe at that issue of solidarity there are different views among european countries as to what that solidarity should look like and in particular there's also criticism from some countries the way germany is looking at solidarity we saw that for example of the european level also this week but in general germany is indeed focusing on that idea of solidarity be its bilaterally for example by helping countries in the need when it comes to bringing aid to germany patients all that report program or not for example helping these countries as well that are most vulnerable through the united nations program as well to diffuse thomas parel thank you for that insight. let's take a look now at the latest developments in the pandemic daily deaths from covert 19 are trending downward and many of the hardest hit countries france and italy reported their lowest numbers in weeks italy's prime minister says some lockdown restrictions will be loosened starting on may the 4th people will be allowed more sports and exercise near their homes british prime minister boris johnson is back
