this is g.w. news live from berlin and the european union takes the lead in the search for a vaccine against the coronavirus. can only defeat that by resupply of vaccines and for that we need a good old to coordinate actions with e.u. commission president barroso the founder line launches a campaign to raise 7500000000 euros to fund the research also coming up the kenyan government banning entry to 2 refugee camps as fears grow over the spread of the virus but will it be enough to protect the hundreds of thousands of people who live

there and south africans get some exercise as they celebrate being allowed to leave their homes they're locked down one of the strictest in the world is being teased. i'm sorry kelly welcome to the program but european union aims to raise 7500000000 euros next week to fund research into a vaccine for the coronavirus as well as developing new treatments and more efficient testing the e.u. commission says that the goal is to develop a vaccine treatment and tests that are available to all who need it and at an affordable price the hope is that the donors will continue to stump up funds in coming months so that the effort can be scaled up and help to pay the cost of distributing the vaccine and medical equipment. and i am now joined by the

president of the european commission ursula fund arline welcome to the program and thank you so much for joining us. thank you it's good to be with you. on monday the european union is joining forces with global partners to raise 7500000000 euros in a worldwide pledging initiative to support corona virus diagnostics and vaccines what is the top thing that you hope to achieve well for us it's important that we give a strong answer to the corona virus because we know it knows no borders it knows no nationalities and we can only defeat that virus by a vaccine and for that we need a global coordinated action because we want to prevent that there is a run to the vaccine once we have it for those who can afford it so we need to coordinate research on the vaccine when we have it and we start right now already we have to build up capacities to manufacture it zillions of those and then we have

to make sure that we can deploy to every corner in the world right now of fear and affordable price and that's what exactly we're working on for that we need money and we need to go global corporation we have this global framework now and we need the pledging conference on monday to raise the 7500000000 euros this is just the start i think we will need more over time so you say a fair and affordable price for any potential vaccine but the u.n. secretary general has actually taken it one step further when it comes to facilitating public access to a vaccine he says vaccines should belong to the entire world not to individual countries or regions or or companies is that something that you would be willing to support should a vaccine along to humanity. well of course everybody should have access to this vaccine and that's reason why we got all the stakes stakeholders that are

necessary so we have the w.h.o. the bill and melinda gates foundation the wellcome trust you need to global fund just to name some of course these important platforms like seppi and gabi and we are backed by many many countries in the world the g 20 i brought the initiative to the g 20 so this is necessary to really have a global approach according to judge approach in this important task i'd like to ask you because the crisis in the meantime is really hitting the european economy hard i mean many warnings that the e.u. could risk doing too little too late to shield the economy from the effects of the coronavirus you're currently figuring out how to finance the use coronavirus recovery fund but so far no concrete plan has been put forward where's the urgency . well 1st of all for the acute crisis we put forward the european union and the member states a sum of 3.4 trillion which is for example the flexibility of state date the

flexibility of all the european funds but also a program to keep people the employees in their companies being paid for short time work so that the healthy companies can restart immediately the economy picks up again this has been put out at the 1st answer for the corona crisis but you're right we need a big creek cover instrument and for that we proposed that we work on the 7 year budget of the european union topped by a recovery instrument that is marshall plan like which we can then channel through the budget and give it to the member states because the budget is per se an instrument for investment for solidarity back but all $27.00 member states but also for cohesion and conversion and therefore it is so important to have this

instrument in place we're going on a drag now we've got a strong backing by the european council that was necessary and good and it's a big endeavor but i'm positive that we're going to deliver what could we see in that instrument because i mean we have southern states like italy and spain calling for grants neutralize debt so-called corona bonds that's facing opposition from countries like germany and the netherlands so what will be in the fund will we see corona bonds will we see grants. so in the whole instrument we will have certainly the right balance of loans and grants this is the process where we have to negotiate with all 27 member states. but it is important that all agree that is the it is the way forward to take so all agree on working on the 7 year budget of the european union plus a recovery instrument and this is a strong measure of course and i think this is democracy we have to speak about the

detailing out the tailor made programs but all of our do agree that it is important to support the countries that are hardest hit by the virus and the economic consequences another issue which has come up in this coronavirus crisis is the issue of european fundamental principles and values and in that context i would like to ask you if you're concerned about the crisis being use here in the european union to limit democratic rights in countries for example like hungary. well many countries about 20 countries took extraordinary measures which is in a crisis ok because you have to be fast and you have to be able to act but they have to be proportionate they have to be time limited very clearly and they have to be under democratic scrutiny and here we're looking very closely to how these measures are implemented when it comes to the european values indeed the freedom of

speech the freedom of media for example so we stand ready to intervene immediately if this is not appropriate and time limit it but in the moment of crisis we see as i said many member states that are using these extraordinary measures it has to be in the right sense you mentioned that also that it has to be in the right sense after hungry passed its emergency coronavirus law on the 30 s. 30th of march you said the coronavirus crisis cannot be used to undercut democracy but you didn't mention hungry by name you come under criticism for that do you regret not mentioning the mining it is for us very important to look at every member states in the same way it is true that was hungry we have difficult experiences so there will be a lot of scrutiny but i think fairness among all member states is important and the approach that we guarantee the fundamental rights of the european union that we

stand up being the guardian of the treaty we have to become politically neutral towards the member state but ready to act when something goes in the wrong direction and am very clear what i said already that we are ready to act the moment we see that the implementation of these measures is not appropriate as a trained physician when you look at the situation that the world is facing when you look at the situation that the european union is facing are you sometimes dismayed when you look around. this corona crisis is devastating but it shows 2 sides it shows on the one hand that there are lessons we have to learn for example i think we need a way more robust and transparent data reporting system for us and the european union but also globally to be better prepared and to have an early warning system

the 2nd is that we see how important is to have sound strong healthcare systems that can absorb shocks and that can respond to crisis is like this one and the 3rd one that i think is important for the european level is that we will have to improve the system that the european level is able to buy critical medical goods like personal protective equipment like masks and gloves or ventilators buy them stockpile it and distribute it to those member states that we needed this was not in place at the beginning of the crisis we put it in place now and we will certainly have a very clout close look at it the good part that we saw over the last weeks is an enormous grow of solidarity when i saw the polish and the romanian doctors and nurses going to italy italy on the other hand sharing test kids with other member states france sending patients to germany and austria france sending moscow

to spain and italy so many many examples of solidarity that is and was good to see and i think later on drawing the lessons from the crisis this is on the positive side we thank you so much for joining us to share that president of the european commission arcelor fund and i thank you so much. the kenyan government has banned entry to 2 of the country's biggest refugee camps because of concerns about the coronavirus aid workers saying that it could be a catastrophe if the disease took hold in the camps which housed more than 400000 people now aid groups warn that there is no health infrastructure in place that could cope with the outbreak. reports. you know piss muds away from home this group of vulnerable refugees is facing an unknown

enemy. it's a fear that keeps the whole but not the evil mohammedan very disappointed violence and drug in neighboring somalia before arriving in this crowded field you come more than 25 years ago. there is a lot of fear we can't sleep and movement is restricted there's not much work we pray to god that there will be no criminal cases here because if the virus reaches us i don't think a lot of people will survive. a concern it could buy you and it's the u.n. refugee agency which has called for emergency funding to help displaced people though there have been no confirmed cases of the virus here yet the existing conditions with its spread half of us we all live very close to each other to 30 people live in one camp section this includes children elderly people with diabetes and high blood pressure that could become a big problem

a tragedy. that. many of the refugees seem more concerned above their livelihoods than the virus itself. but what have. you just had to be great there are so many businesses have closed how do i run a small shop. have been affected it's really hard for us to make ends meet and. we're not making an image. like that. but all the whole. problem what i have heard and i'm like most people here i follow the news and social media very closely what corona can be prevented by washing your hands covering your face with a mask and if you're feeling unwell seeing a doctor was someone who can take care of you out of that cup. for now you see there is very much

a believer that the virus can be stopped everyone plays their part. well south africa has become gradually easing its coronavirus lock down one of the strictest in the world factories and agricultural businesses will be allowed to reopen in phases restaurants can also open but only for deliveries for many south africans though perhaps the best news was a green light to resume some limited activity in the fresh air. south africans can exercise outside again for the 1st time in more than a month it's a relief or maybe you can bike right or even some handstands. if. they do it is just. they do do something it feels good to be back we don't you don't actually we actually take for granted i mean if you look at us. i could do this every day. 5 weeks ago the country's president ordered most citizens to remain indoors and shuttered all but essential businesses as part of

the response to the pandemic it's been one of the strictest lockdowns in the world and doesn't result many people have been struggling to make ends meet. or now when i get this good life in bed up because i'm not working. today when i'm. going to get something wanted table although the looked and seems to have been affective there have been dozens of complaints about police brutality when implementing it the united nations has expressed in saron about the heavy handedness as the country slowly america's from lock down south african nation faces the challenge of boosting its economy which was already in recession before the coronavirus struck look at more detail view correspondent standing by in cape town so adrienne the government must now strike a difficult balance between boosting the economy containing the virus walk us

through the approach. well so basically what they did is introducing a lockdown in 5 different phases from stage 5 which we had in the past 5 weeks the strictest 12 stage one which is the most relaxed one where almost everybody will be able to get back to work right now the country is at stage 4 that still means cigarette sales is forbidden also the sales of alcohol for example some industries allowed to get back to work also unlimited although unlimited capacity but after all the rules to remain very strict we have seen the exercising obviously that was a very positive aspect for many people but we've also seen some shortcomings right there it's only allowed to exercise between 6 am and 9 am you have the sun is only rising at 7 30 am so in one of the half hours you have the whole city here getting are trying to exercise which is obviously not the idea overall i would say though that society is quite divided about the decisions of implementing strict measures of you have one part of the population here that says yes we needed we need to

protect our health system police governments keep the strict rules in place and then on the other hand you have a lot of people are saying well the coronavirus is not the biggest problem we have at the moment we're facing hunger here and this is the more pressuring issue for them and speaking about immediate needs inequality continues to be a huge issue in south africa just how is the coronavirus crisis exacerbating that problem. absolutely it is mainly the poor part of the population that is suffering the treasury has demanded that 3 to 7000000 people could lose their jobs because of this crisis depending on how long the situation will persist and already before this crisis we already had a situation whereby more than every 2nd young south african was unemployed so definitely the country is facing facing challenges although the government announced a 26000000000 euro support package for the economy but i'm also remaining a little bit optimistic because it seems the crisis brings out a lot of positive things in people as well you have

a lot of neighborhood initiatives here where people help each other where people are helping the less privileged are providing food support and i really hope that this crisis will bring the society here more together than it will create more bigger gap. tell us a little bit more because as the country starts to open up you mentioned some of those challenges what are the biggest that are facing authorities that are facing citizens see the reality is that the numbers of cases are going to increase this is what almost all experts here are saying and they believe we will see the 1st peak between july and september a long time to go the government here was celebrated globally for taking very strict measures in the beginning but now they have to continue to keep the trust of the people that they will follow and there are some issues that people here at the moment don't understand communication issues one day the government is saying the schools will start to open next week next day they're saying hold on wait another month same with cigarettes for example one day the president and the sales of

cigarettes will be allowed in lockdown states for a few days later a minister says hold on we're not going to do it like this or i think it's quite important for government to to get their act together again in terms of communication everybody knows it's a difficult time it's a new process for everybody but for the population to follow the process and to follow the strict rules i think the government has to lead a clear path to a correspondent in cape town thank you. and here is a roundup of some of the latest developments in the pandemic worldwide the world health organization has warned that the outbreak is still picking up speed across africa despite those efforts to contain it russia has recorded its biggest daily rise and confirmed cases with almost 8000 new cases registered in the u.k. authorities have announced that the coronavirus death toll has now passed 27500 and a 1000000 people are now known to have recovered worldwide about a 3rd of all recorded infections it's unclear how many patients have permanent

health damage due to the virus or one group affected by cove and 19 like no other is health care workers doctors and nurses around the globe have been working red let lessly to help patients in addition to physical exhaustion they also have to deal with the emotional strain of seeing so many people die some are also risking their own lives because of a lack of personal protective equipment when we look now at the difficulties facing community health workers in india who have suddenly found themselves on the front line for an extra 12 year olds a month. every morning this is how dodging to read gets ready to work. or she has to protect herself tim scott anaheim watched mosque as she visits homes in her neighborhood to check for symptoms for one of my. duty as an actor to social health activist in india also known as an art show book. in addition to their means

her community her educators asha workers have now been deployed as the very 1st line of defense in india's fight against school with 19 years. to reach her assigned area where she conducts sobeys with other workers rajan has to either visit or fonts by areas called red zones where numerous positive pieces of the wires have been detected despite this she has been provided with only one mosque that she washes and uses every day. most are so workers also cannot afford protective equipment on their own. does there make it or not is every word of it i get that the 1st time when i was made to visit a red zone i had never gloves nor a mask we received just 33 rupees a day the government treats us worse than bonded labor us but you. get away from the cost of government. other russia workers have also at times been forced to with a just ski areas without gloves marks and sanitizer. some of them have refused to

work as a consequence the indian government has promised insurance cover put each health worker on the front lines of code 19 but that is only if they die in the line of duty. the actual workers are not insured if they fall ill with a coronavirus the delhi government however tells us that they are ensuring a regular supply of protective equipment to all the frontline health workers but workers like arjen are not the only ones struggling to reach people without sufficient protective gear this is one of hundreds of community clinics in delhi these primary health centers run by the state government have been especially important in providing health care in underserved areas now they play an important role in the capital in the struggle against the spread of the virus. well the doctors at these clinics are equipped with basic protective gear they do run a risk of contracting cord 19 from

a symptomatic areas this doctor want to do is mean with held because he feels professional just because it's 100 percent of his care or where it's 100 percent risk because there may be asymptomatic patients coming to us who've not been tested we too can be asymptomatic carriers we should get tested this meeting. with a number of cases in india still on the rise community health workers like large and the head of home have you thought that we might also be infected so we do want to work but not by putting our lives at stake government john you've argued about the dragon passes by this red zone every day to conduct her duties she and many health workers like her are braving a life and death threat. as now for a brief look at some other stories making headlines around the world protesters have gathered in athens for traditional may day marches that is despite authorities urging unions to move their demonstrations to next week when lockdown measures
