. >> in the bill and melinda gates foundation, gates predicts that by 2035 there will be almost no poor nations left in the world. coming up, we hear what these titans are doing to see that through. bill, i read through your letter and what i noticed in the tone was that you are very optimistic. you say look, we are better off than we were decades ago. where does this optimism come from? >> i think i am naturally optimistic but also the facts are on the side of the optimist. it is dangerous that people are focusing on the bad news and not seeing the progress we have made. it means they don't look at the best practices. it makes them less generous. we are raising poor countries up. most people live in middle-income countries now. there is more to be done on health and agriculture, but the track record success, if you don't see that you are not going to participate in what we need to do. >> you say that there will be no poor nations by the time we reach 2035. >> almost none. landlocked countries in africa, north korea if they don't change the government, but it will be less than 10. when

when she spends time on the ground in west africa, no one knows he's melinda gates. she throws up her hair and talks to them just as a western woman. i can also tell you how much she emphasized urgency. we know all of these u.s. troops are going, they have to act overnight. what the gates foundation did, they have a big polio clinic in west africa. literally, overnight, they said we're turning into an ebola clinic and overnight, it changed. >> it's going to take $1 billion to fight this epidemic? >> at least, yes. >> poppy harlow, thank you so much. >>> also this morning, signs and symptoms of ebola. sergeant michael monnic faces no risk of the disease despite being the first responder in entering in the unsanitized apartment of eric duncan. last week, the deputy was wrestling with the unknowns of the danger. >> we did not receive any type of emergency equipment. >> and did you all touch anything while you were in there? >> touched doors, turned on lights. that starts putting question marks in your mind. when you go home, you start hearing that equipment is being bag

bill and melinda gates alone, $25 million from mark zuckerberg. some of that is going to aid organizations, some is going to the u.s. government organizations and units like the cdc. now, private sector donations are not enough, clearly. the u.n. said that it needs about $1 billion in a fund to go ahead and get ahead of the curve. >> we are not there. >> we are totally not there. you're talking about $20 million in pledges and the fund itself only has $100,000 in cash. now, clearly, there's money going to other organizations, but the u.n., it's clearly indicative of a shortfall. >> let's talk about the industries affected. interesting that the chocolate industry is actually affected by ebola, because it operates in these countries. it's a $67 billion business. 26 global companies collectively donating $600,000. wait a minute. look at the profit number, look at the revenue number, look at what they're donating. could they do more? >> absolutely, they could do more. 70% of the world's supply of cocoa beans actually comes from west africa. so you wou

not many people know about that was articulated very well to me by my colleagues at the bill and melinda gatesation. in 20 12, they put together a polio emergency response unit. so this was a presidential task force for combatting polio in this country. and they created an entire health care infrastructure just for purposes of combatting polio. so when the first ebola case hit from the individual coming in from liberia, they used that as a template to mobilize a similar type of emergency operations unit. they used some of the same polio people that were so successful in controlling polio, put them on and repurposes for ebola. they mobilized a thousand soshl woerkers and caseworkers and they snuffed it out. i think it's a great example of how they went from one case to 20 and then snuffed it out as opposed to what we're seeing elsewhere in west africa. >> it isn't necessarily rocket science. it's a certain brut force and care and labor and execution of the plan that matters. >> yeah, exactly. that's why we'll never see an ebola outbreak in the united states. we have a terrific health care infra

then we have another initiative, the last mile, which again we work with the bill and melinda gates foundation to take hiv vaccines with our own infrastructure because we can go the last mile with more than tens of thousands of vehicles and mike crow distributors in africa. which by the way, are womenant p entreprene entrepreneurs. which is part of our 2020 initiative. we are working to take hiv vab seens to the last mile to the imof villages and we have increased distribution to tanzania alone just in that initiative. we worked with president obama on aids day, to expedite child transmission of hiv. we are on target, and we will do that. those are all of the social infrastructure the third vector which i want to emphasize. and despite the gaps of basic infrastructure that steve talked about, despite the gaps in business infrastructure because there is just. sufficient foreign direct investment today in africa. there needs to be more. and despite we need to scale up the great programs, i'm extremely bullish about the future of africa. and the most dynamic region in the world that i can see rig

an emergency epidemic command center that had been financed in part by the bill and melinda gates foundation up in 2012 to fight folio, they decided to repurpose that center and decided to make it an ebola command krener. they did 19,0 0 face-to-face visits with people. they took every school kids' temperature to make sure they could find and isolate any kids who had a fever, which is almost always the first symptom. and they did it. they nailed it. they realized they had a problem. they identified it. they isolated it. they sprang into action. and since august 31st, there has not been a single, confirmed case in nigeria. for all intents and purpose, it is over. is texas capable of doing the same thing? when texas governor rick perry held his press conference yesterday to talk about the nation's first ebola patient being diagnosed, he opened up his comments with what amounted to good news, bad news and worse news. the good news is that the centers for disease control has developed a training protocol for state health department departments for how to prepare fsh and deal with potential ebola

it in nigeria because of a strong health care system apparently and a lot of help from bill and melinda gatesmoney in there, and very quickly helped them convert a malaria treatment center into an ebola treatment center. that, plus contacts, allowed them apparently to stop it in nigeria. and if they can do it in nigeria we ought to be able to do it in texas. >> we did a lot of this reporting on viruses, in africa, gone out with hunters and shown how viruses were transmitted from animals to humans. you call this the dress rehearsal for the next epidemic or pandemic, what should we learn from this outbreak to prepare for the next one? and is your concern on the next one that the virus is transmittable before somebody shows symptoms? >> well, what we should be learning is that this is not a one-time event. assuming we can stop this in texas which i certainly take tom frieden's point, that can be done. it should not be a problem. assuming it can be stopped, this is not a one-time event. this year it is ebola, 2014, it even makes it to the u.s. next year it will be a different virus, the year afte

the bill and melinda gates foundation is getting involved in financial services as a means to end poverty all that technology poses a threat to the establishment. i sat down with bill gates in boston. that, typically through the cell phone, you should be able to send money to your relatives and track money coming in, set aside money for the next year. and there are countries where this is beginning to take off. , then let even somalia, maybe the last country you would expect. in somalia, almost half of the gdp is done digitally. >> i do not need to tell you that the poor have been unbanked as long as they have been banked. poorest have stored gold or put her and see under the mattress, but they're getting cell phones. cell phone capability, identifying who is using the cell phone, looking at the spending patterns, that is going to be common sense. people are going to have health and lots of -- are going to have help and lots of products competing on this platform. >> digital money helps to increase access to financial services at the same time as it lowers the cost of delivery. why is phi

but they are small, even bill and melinda gates are small and connection with the scope and size of government to deal with these massive problems. and so i think it's great that the foundation world and the ngo world in the corporate world are all involved, and they are at the forefront of a lot of these issues and what we need to be to exchange policies. and this includes what others are doing that are emarkable, but we cannot forget that we have the amounts of money in the capital and the influence to help to solve these problems. and i will say this in a chauvinistic sense, no one has that more than the united states of america. it is a great symbol of leadership that we have been able to be a major factor in helping folks develop themselves. the real question is can we continue to do it given the political system that we currently have. mentioning the research establishment, the congress created a 200 million-dollar fund in the last farm bill called the foundation for food and agriculture research. i'm not sure why the secretary decided to get the least competent person to chair that, so

giving an example standing for research and development, a word is funded by the bill and melinda gates foundation and the united states agency for international development. it's been able to partner with private sectors in different continents. what they do is expose women who are already leaders in the areas. they are already working with women farmers to expose them to different disciplines, private sector experiences which enables them to carry research to the next level. they are able to do their work more efficiently and come up with the relevant innovations that the woman farmer needs. i have been fortunate to be part of the team. >> kay, do you want to add to that? >> the benefits, the local benefits. benefits to the private sector and the company and the partnerships is worth mentioning. we talked about innovation earlier. innovation for a woman farmer with one acre could be different from a 10,000 hectare brazilian farmer or u.s. farming operation. what's powerful to the private sector, also about the partnerships is it gives us the voice of the customer. damaris knows what t

who have a bill and melinda gates grant to demonstrate the delivery of vaccines and medicines and areas of africa and southeast asia where the place you're delivering to is a known quantity and the place you're leaving is a known quantity and the case is a life-saving scenario so there's a high motivation to make sure this happens. >> that's another thing really key working with autopilots. knowing your weight. you can't have a variable. it complicates the autopilot. so carrying things, it needs to be a fixed weight in order for it to be efficient. >> you mentioned the social good aspect of drones. i would be interested to hear more about those examples of where drones are doing social good. >> given that we're building a platform so we're focused not on a single application but all at the same time broadly on a lot of applications. one of the things we did early at air ware is took a wall and started writing all of the different things on the wall that we thought drones were going to be used for. we came up with a lot of the common commercial ones that we talked about here. then we als
