this is news coming to you live from. the fight against the coronavirus world leaders pledged nearly 7 and a half 1000000000 euros to help fund back scenes treatment and testing but how much will it take to make it all the bailable and affordable for everyone. drawing a little snippet of normality returns to germany as the lockdown is gradually

lifted and those. disasters are put right by the professionals. the future of german. state kids holding a general meeting to discuss details of a government bailout worth as much as $10000000000.00 euros plus a mobile just takes on the road. carpenter can't perform at his usual venues because. he's delighting retirement home residents but shows especially for the. fellow i'm terry martin good to have you with us the european union has joined the race to develop a vaccine against. pledges worth almost 7 and a half 1000000000 euros. they were around the world joined the european

commission's pledge conference on monday as the world wide death toll from the buyers exceeded a quarter of a 1000000 commission president is calling it a victory for global cooperation but the fundraiser was just as notable for the no show let's start the pledging the e.u. 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 $500000000.00 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 funded 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 in the days as a time when we don't always see multilateral cooperation as i would like and i 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's sprint was a great start for our math the marathon is the way i had know we need everybody on

on board. united nations secretary general antonio caetera she described the funds as a dime payment he said that to reach everyone everywhere the world must raise 5 times that amount. or earlier i spoke to mohamed when nero parola just from len castor university in the u.k. i asked him how the 7400000000 euros are going to be help us play the coronavirus. i think vaccine are really very expensive also says south mainly the development is not really too difficult and it's less time to relatively cheaper to do but the main media are insular structures required is to take up a bill or to use it in such a way that it wants vaccine become available it is manufactured in the shortest possible time and it is just too good to have any corner of the water and this became even more importance of this knowing team because we know that diseases many infectious what you would have one country in the ward is still reporting

a disease that i mean didn't start would be hanging on 'd the board at the same scale as it has been back in january so therefore the effort is we really have been started to ramp up back up ability and have a last resort says that once we need to have the fly we have the resources there. and i was mohamed when they are from lancaster university in the u.k. what's going to round up of some of the latest pandemic news around the world right now german state premiers are expected to approve a plan to allow all shops to reopen and get this league soccer going again with new zealand reporting no new cases for a 2nd straight day prime minister just send down dialed into an australian cabinet meeting to discuss reopening borders between the neighboring countries malaysia and india have begun to ease part of their law down measures but both governments have urged caution as cases continue to rise and thailand reported its lowest number of new infections since march 9th with no new case and no new deaths.

let's get some analysis now from christiane he's a spokesperson for the world health organization in geneva mr lynn maya we're hearing a lot about lockdown measures being relaxed infection rates dropping etc is the worst of the pandemic behind us. unfortunately i don't think we can say that it's very normal and very good in some ways that the lockdown measures of the nice people. will not to be able to hold us for much longer that's our looks and we need to bring back some normal normality to life and get the economy of course restarts it or not damaged too much but the problem with the coronavirus with call it 19 is that it's not like a water faucet it's been turned off and does not want dripping anymore to the contrary it's actually tripping quite a bit still the infection rates and they the infection rates have been lowered but that means we still have to be in sexual rates and we still have quite an amount of

cases we still have people in emotions rooms who still have severe cases and we still have unfortunately deaths from coronavirus but what will be happening now is that we need to learn to live with the coronavirus at least for the foreseeable future in case we have a vaccine so we need to learn to deal on a daily basis with it where do you see then the biggest risks the main problem areas in fighting this pandemic right now. well 1st it's the infections that insert itself and it comes down to the testing because the more we test every suspect case the more we know and see a complete picture we hear now reports from different countries in the world that there might have been cases even early on when we didn't even know there was corona circling it that much could be possible but we need to look into this but again the testing of every suspect case would be highly important to understand the picture

we face of every country around the world and when we know this and we know how to respond and we know how to hold events what to do in schools how to bring children back how to long to open a business again this is has an impact on everyday lives looking at europe what do you make of the way that germany is dealing with the crisis particularly its eagerness to reopen schools and the economy. ok so bringing children back to school is really important because it's bringing normality back to their lives but it has to be done in a step by step approach the whole reopening has to done in a step by step approach cuties a little bit your morning to how your cases are climbing again or not and that is possible because let's not forget the whole idea of the lockdown was to flatten the curfew remember the terms it was to spread out the cases over an amount of time we never said it would stop like cut off it would spread the cases out over an amount of time and that's exactly what's happening right now so with the step by step

approach of all of it all a little bit more cautious see if it's working to see if not too many cases are rising so that the health system can cope with it that the hospitals can talk with it and then open more and open more and open more where this leads in terms of for example of a patients or what the now mallets he will be in august and september and october is difficult to say right now. germany seems to be doing well if you look at the relation between infection cases and and death rates that's because that's needed a leading situation in europe. that that is good to see although of course every death digitally is deplorable is still in my thank you very much for speaking with us that was christian then miles from the world health organization in geneva thanks for having. well as part of the gradual lifting of germany's lockdown hairdressers have been allowed to reopen this week for many here in berlin it was a welcome relief after some do-it yourself disasters. after so

known few here will ever take a wash cut and blow dry for granted again hair salons in berlin have reopened after 6 weeks of enforced closure for some customers it was really high time. i was cutting my own hair and it started looking awful but yourself i messed it up now the challenge is for both stylist and customer to wear face masks so that it's going to please remove the elastic bands and hold the mask to your face. now you've taken it off. so i didn't brief are you crazy. but it seems to be working. to as you can see i'm desperate my last haircut was in november yes we are here. for years.

for. ali and his coworkers are fully booked through the end of the month walk ins are out of the question. now that people know we're open again the phone has been ringing off the hook from morning till night but that's fine with me i'm glad. plastic curtains provide some protection between customers during shampooing the new regulations are being strictly obeyed what matters is that the salons are at last open for business again many in the sector depended on state assistance she once said that she financially speaking it's not the best situation but i think many are in the same boat and so many people have lost their jobs so i really can't complain. with them is the way i made good use of my free time for those i've never had 6 weeks off before. furious for i've been very smart.

behind a new 6. finally there's hair to be swept up again even wearing face masks at least people can hold their heads up high again. this is my personal lockdown is over at least as far as my hairdo goes thank goodness. germany's look turns it is meeting today online that is to discuss the very future of its business with almost all flights grounded the german flag carrier is in dire straits and needs a bailout the question scuse me question is how much money is the government prepared to give to look turned and help big a stake to they want to help shape the company's future but will discuss details about possible bailout i'm in a personal take a look. has been doing. tons as flight shed fuel hasn't been this flight since the 1950 s. but it's set to stay this way for a long time 90 percent of the german airlines planes are grounded so won't ever

carry passengers again. the carrier still has around $4000000000.00 euros in liquid assets that is slowly but surely drying up around 60 percent of lufthansa's costs a variable when its planes don't fly it spends less on fuel but that's not the case when it comes to employees that's why 2 thirds of them have been put on to short time work. the airline says it needs to get its planes off the ground again but even if they are allowed to fly there are challenges to overcome questions or need to be answered around seating with so many people potentially being crammed into confined spaces for example should all planes be altered or should all the middle seats and some rows just remain empty. expects a significant drop in business flights in future his most important source of revenue companies have now seen that meetings can also go well by video and that

a trip to the airport isn't always necessary. for more this was taught to under the bed he's an aviation industry expert and joins us from her what do you think is going to become. good morning terry i think in general you can say it's fair to say that most times it is better prepared than other big carry is going to really record turnovers recently and record profits and they're still in much better shape than any other has had even problems before the krona crisis that said this is of course that huge the serious problem crisis for most times as well which sleep early on said is losing 1000000 euros per hour so i think it's a certain issue of thing that most times it will survive this and might even be coming out strong at the other end than it was before in the context of the moffitt of the competition and of course it's absolutely essential today that they reach a good deal with the german state i guess so losing

a $1000000.00 an hour 1000000 euros lufthansa wants the government bailout money clearly but do you think it's going to have to give up some control over the company if it gets it and that's a hugely difficult and sensible question especially for most towns out i know this work quite well and he is really the prototype of the blueprint of a private enterprise who has actually led lufthansa 3 private company to the soaring heights even like last year still and now for him it's a sheet of horace you know rio you have to give up his own on the ally and to have politicians sit on his board and rein in on his decisions so that's a really very crucial question how this is arranged and the fans if absolutely keen and very extremely keen to not give all of their hands too much of that entrepreneurialism weight and that when this is all over and people do start flying

again what will air travel look like. it's a certain thing that it will look much different there will be many scenarios discussed in the industry even as we speak and look at times you just mentioned in your report earlier there was discussion about middle seats remaining 3 times as a band and this is from yesterday when they no prescribed applied to the past as to whether moscow already so that it was heath little be given out if there's enough demand there's probably very important for the island to be comically and there's no proof that it will increase the infection risk for passengers but overall the whole process of flying of how you arrive at the airport go through many new lady is health security in the future will definitely change the passenger experience probably for ever and to a spate an aviation industry expert in hamburg thank you very much for talking with us. now for

a brief look at what impact the current virus is having around the world vice president amazon has resigned after the company fired whistle blowers who had raised concerns about coded 19 in its warehouses to embrace said the dismissals were quote evidence of a vein of talks city running through the company culture in april hundreds of amazon employees in the u.s. went on strike over conditions. venezuelan authorities say they've arrested 2 u.s. citizens among a group of alleged mercenaries involved in what caracas says was a failed in beijing government claimed the group wanted to capture venezuela's president nicolas maduro and bring down his regime. many european countries have closed their borders to try to curb the spread of credit and the effects are having an impact on some communities more than others lock down measures in france have hit migrants particularly hard many are in the northern

port city of col a from where they hope to cross the sea to england conditions in migrant shelters were bad before but many say the law down has made them even worse. lisa lewis visited migrant shelters of northern france and spoke to people there about how the country's response to the coronavirus crisis is affecting them. there's no let up in police procedure even in these times of coded 91 or whatever we're asked to move on because we want to film what's been an almost daily routine since 2018. migrants are told to move their tens a few meters once the police have left. the migrants put the tents back no one here wants to film their face but the migrants told us they feel harassed. like you they don't see it as human beings they don't respect has been i think it by 41 if you don't wake up when they come they take away your temptation then we have to ask

aid workers for a new one and wait for up to a week trying to observe social distancing here is difficult senator conditions are bad you know imposed by the we're not allowed to go into town this is the beginning of a pandemic we've been stuck in these camps way some of us were taken to shelters or we had to stay up to 4 people in a room that's illegal. the migrants try to support each other as best they can but that's also more difficult these days this is where the college jungle was until 2016 readed was demolished at its peak some 8000 migrants lived in this camp conditions were bad but migrants managed to set up an infrastructure of sorts and they were able to help each other out now the authorities are trying to prevent the migrants from constructing another jungle by building fences like this one. aid workers have had to reduce their staff at the come by half they say the

government's response isn't helping the situation. this is a real step backwards for migrants human rights there's no legal aid for them any more evacuations continue the migrants keep getting harassed by the police you just saw people stand together in this crisis but these vulnerable people are being left behind because you were the real you but authorities say that medical teams regularly check up on the migrants in the comes and that the evacuations unnecessary use of all. we're offering shelter for up to 750 migrants so you can get medical care. 353 people have already taken up that option hugh. the migrants are being evacuated every 2 days if they are camping illegally we need to prevent them from settling. in aid workers say there aren't enough shelters and many of the migrants would rather stay here and try to cross and i

never give up i'll never give up one day i will get to england my dream is to become a doctor and have real freedom but a nice house and a nice life nice life mangas wants to join to have his brothers who have already settled in england but the corona pandemic has now made reaching the other side of the channel more difficult than ever. did obviously lisa lewis who filed that report joins us now from paris lisa your report shows the difficult situation migrants and refugees are facing in northern france or the camps they're prepared for a potential coronavirus outbreak. well that's a very good question there were 3 confirmed coded 19 cases a few weeks back and 8 workers have told me that several migrants there have been showing symptoms that could mean they have covert 19 but no testing is

available really and it's very difficult to keep a distance in the camps even if the migrants are camping outside but they're crowded together especially when they're cooking for example so if there were a real out spread widespread pandemic or you know a real lot of cases in the camps it would be very difficult to contain them and to take care of all the that you the ill people there it seems the people in the camps are coming under increased pressure from authorities who clearly don't want them there but even if they were to leave they have anywhere to go. it's very difficult for many people there and they've been many of them of those i've been talking to have been on the road for years 5 years 8 years 10 years many of them have been to other countries in the european union have been rejected when they're 5 for asylum there and those are 2 in color have all said you know we're going to try to cross across the english channel because in england they feel that

they can pass unnoticed and maybe find work even if they don't have legal papers but certainly it's a very good question also because it's very difficult for these people to find a place where can they can settle down and have a nice life. good to see you that was the w's lisa lewis there in paris. performing artists have had to get used to smaller venues and audiences than they're accustomed to during the law here in berlin residents of retirement homes have been delighted by visits from one musician who has been able to take his act on the road. an exclusive show for the residents of a berlin nursing home thanks to cameron carpenter and just portable electronic organ.

for me it's a great chance to get to play live music for people and in public here in the time of corona that's kind of unthinkable. 32 concerts in 4 days a performance shed chill made possible by sponsors local authorities on the police . the locations aren't publicized ahead of the events to avoid large crowds gathering on the program dedicated to chose to one musical maestro johann sebastian bach. box music is is quite a quite unique it's why i consider him so such an important composer and the best composer that music means that i can cram a lot of quality into a very short amount of time because we only have 20 to 30 minutes at each location

. oh do you need a spot that's the most so carpenters bringing on his mini tour to the elderly isolated in berlin because of the pandemic. goalless next i really enjoyed hearing. movies inspired not the budget indies i could see can type i really appreciated because of the current situation we had a senior citizens resident somewhere based isolated at the moment. and for the world famous musician a chance to take to the stage despite the coronavirus restriction. well there's been 10 pulses of tests for the coronavirus in the german football bonus league and 2nd division the league says over 7500 tests were carried out over 2 rounds among players and staff cologne reported 3 positive cases the tests are
