kicked off its fund raising drive with $1000000000.00 euros in the hours that followed pledges were beamed in from across the globe the kingdom of saudi arabia has pledged 500000000 dollars even pop icon madonna made a last minute donation of a 1000000 euros it wasn't enough to reach the fundraisers target but housed in a fonda line insisted it sent the right signal yes today is a defining moment for the global community at a time when we are sitting for a lower part than usual the world has shown it is standing closer together than ever before but not quite all of the world a chinese delegate took part but didn't pledge any money russia and the united states were both absent from the conference for her part of the german chancellor apparently couldn't resist a jab at the u.s. president. as a time when we don't always see multilateral cooperation as i would like and i
1:03 am
think today's a very important signal of hope. germany was one of the leading donors pledging over 500000000 euros the money is earmarked for international health organizations and research networks in a bid to speed up the development of a vaccine many scientists say it could be 18 months or more before a vaccine is ready for widespread use and when it is more money will be needed to ensure it can be produced in large quantities and distributed for a fair price around the world. today sprint was a great start for our math on the marathon is the way i have now we need everyone on board. united nations secretary general antonio terrence described the funds as a dine payment he said that to reach everyone everywhere the world must raise 5 times that amount. and for more on this let's bring in d. w. correspondent of

a summit in washington of us about it in washington knew. the u.s. is that is that meeting why not only in a trump has never been very keen on multilateralism and that right from the start and even before when he was running for president his policy america 1st is very much known around the world and he's been very consequent with that he pulled out of several multilateral agreements while he was president the climate of agreement just to name one of them he's been threatening to stop payments for the world health organization and then some weeks ago there was also a big debate evolve his attempts to lure some german scientists in the into the u.s. simply because they were working on a vaccine and he really wants to have his country half the vaccine 1st says pretty clear that he thinks he doesn't need any help from abroad and he looks at all this like a fight and certainly
1:05 am
a fight that he wants to win so what strategy is donald trump following well we might look at this also something like a political stunt he's been blaming the world for the virus he's called it the china virus he blamed the world health organization for calling it too late then of course europe was another scapegoat for him so you might as well think that at this point in time cooperation and cooperating with with other countries of course might make him look weak and also let's not forget president trump is in the middle of a reelection campaign. so there are internal projections by the u.s. government that suggest there could be a lot more coronavirus victims than previously predicted what more can you tell us about that well that's an interagency report that you're quoting there and that was made by the department of homeland security and the department of health and human services and reportedly there and now is is projects up to
1:06 am
$3000.00 casualties per day by the month of june and it also predicts 200000 new kovac $1000.00 cases in the u.s. per day and already until the end of may so that's of course a significant rise from the current rate plus it will certainly mean a significant setback also for president trump and his administration as they're currently trying to reel open the economy trump is at the forefront of doing so although it's the local governors who are in charge but he is really encouraging everyone to go ahead and go back to work and real to the economy so for him it would be no great news at all and also let's not forget that many experts have been warning the trump administration that the u.s. might see some heavy push backs and setbacks as the country is trying to go back to normal out of us out in washington thank you so much

and you study estimates that the number of actual covert 1000 cases in germany is far higher than official report says the study of the region around tines that an early coronavirus hotspot in germany found infections in some areas were 5 times higher than previously known it also found that about 20 percent of people infected no symptoms making it tata to trace their diseases progress the researchers estimate 1800000 people in germany have already contracted the clinton corona virus . and earlier we asked our chief political correspondent in the next train what the results of that study mean for germany's past for what. 1st of all is significant share of those who had been infected about a 5th overall had no symptoms and this absolutely underlines the importance of how we behave as we begin to relax restrictions on going back into public namely you need to be wearing
1:08 am
a mask you need to be maintaining distance to other people even if you feel fine because otherwise you could infect them secondly that 1800000 or more than 10 times as many people appear to have been infected as what was previously confirmed now that goes to the question of herd immunity the idea that we eventually could get to a point where this virus is less of a risk to health services and less of a risk to society as a whole because a lot of people have already gotten it and become immune but the fact is 1800000 may sound like a lot but that means there are still over 80000000 germans who haven't had copd and so we are in long way from herd immunity. state of your chief political correspondent millan x. ray and he has a round up of some of the latest pandemic news the number of people infected with covert 1000 worldwide has risen to more than 3500000 almost 250000 people have died
