an expose are welcome to the program the european union has pledged nearly 5000000000 euros more to help vulnerable countries battled a coronavirus pandemic the money is being raised at a summit organized by the e.u. and the international aid group global citizen the goal is to make potential vaccines tests and treatments affordable and accessible worldwide. a short while ago european commission president. talked about the need to expand access to potential vaccines we need to invest in producing vaccines at unprecedented speed and scale and a task of this size can only happen if the unites we need our best scientists to work together we need all global health organizations to join forces and we need

governments business and financial faced to step in and provide funding tens of billions are required. and you know you chief international editor richard walker joins us now from brussels with more on the e.u. coronavirus fund raiser richard before we get to the money what's the political significance of this event. you know well of course i mean the money in itself does have significance in fact the total just over 6000000000 euros has been raised with 5000000000 coming from the european commission and sums of money coming from other donors to germany pledging just under 400000000 or so and you know going to a variety of different aspects of this attempt to coordinate internationally in the fight against the pandemic but if you do step back and look at this from a political point of view i think it's really another instance essentially of the europeans trying to step in and fill what emerges is this void that the united

states might have filled in other times i mean looking back at previous health emergencies for instance you know the last really large bowl of pandemic a few years ago the united states really a leading role in leading the international coordination there together with institutions like the world health organization well this year the united states has pulled out of the world health organization there's a president donald trump who is very explicitly less interested in multilateralism as an as an approach to solving problems. and also you have the pandemic in the united states seeming to come back with a vengeance with the number of cases day by day now hitting record levels so you have the united states really out of action on this international level and the europeans trying to fill that void to do this crucial work. and if we could just

sort of draw down into the numbers 5000000000 euros used to sound like a lot of money but it is that a lot these days. well yeah it's true what used to impress us maybe doesn't impress us so much anymore and certainly the few 1000000000 euros are not going to solve the problem to be fair it was a lot of underlined the present the european commission is quite open about that i mean she has said many times that you know this is a step by step process and tens of billions will be needed over time. but still i mean here in brussels in a couple of weeks' time there's going to be a summit of e.u. nations trying to find agreement on a recovery fund to get e.u. economies moving after the pandemic as they as they emerge from it and they're talking of raising 750000000000 euros so more than 100 times what has been raised today so i think many of our viewers watching perhaps from

poorer countries in the global south might be watching this and thinking well ultimately you know the west you have rich countries that are more interested in helping out other rich countries than than helping more vulnerable countries so i think it is going to be a really interesting test in the next few months if the pandemic really continues to get more severe in the global south how far richer western countries are going to be prepared to go to really step up their one wonders if they won't suddenly become more generous richard walker in brussels thanks so much parts of europe are dealing with a flare up of corona virus infections in italy there has been a spike in new cases to the north of naples mainly in apartment blocks housing seasonal farmworkers' the city of mundra goanna is on alert to try to stop the virus from spreading further. tensions have been rising between the residents of these apartment blocks and the local people in undergrown
