Restrictions are lifted well tell you why theyre calling it revenge shopping. Im going out as welcome to the program the European Commission is hosting a virtual fundraiser today to help efforts to develop a vaccine and treatments against the coronavirus event is expected to raise more than 7000000000 euros german chancellor Angela Merkel french president manuel marco and United Nations secretary general and tony would terrorists World Leaders who have pledged their support its. The battle against that 19 has many fronts and it looks different in every country but the ultimate goal is the same a vaccine and an effective treatment. Anyone can fall into with a virus and that is why we have the task of editing together while white. Many of the world for a vaccine is available for white sprite use but there are efforts underway to speed things up by pooling resources and pouring money into research. You have to build up capacities to manufacture it this illions of those and then we have to make sure that we can deploy to every corner in the world no fear and affordable price and thats what exactly were working on for that we need money and we need to go global corporation. To jumpstart such Global Cooperation the European Union wants to raise at least 7500000000. 00 euros to be allocated to International Health organizations and Research Networks european leaders including the german chancellor have suggested theyre ready to take deep cuts one for germany will also make a significant financial contribution i dont want to announce this today but i may say that we will then also very actively observe the developments are germanys at the forefront of all these activities because we as a country are convinced that only joint International Multilateral action well the lowest to overcome this then demick. Around the world more than 100. 00 groups are researching vaccines right now almost a dozen of them are about to start or have already begun human trials such as the German Company by on tech but whether its this lab that succeeds or another the message of european leaders is it doesnt matter who comes up with a vaccine and treatment as long as someone does and soon. Joined. In brussels. Wants to collect at least 7500000000 euros a realistic is that. The Commission President out of the very confident that this some can be raised by the end of the day because many countries already pledged millions and millions of euros for this vaccination if for example britain canada france germany italy japan norway and saudi arabia came up with a pledge saudi arabia alone or the give 500000000 euros to the fed saudi arabia is the head of the g. 20 the group of the 20 most important economic nations in the world this year and. The g 20 is behind this effort and Many International organizations also taking part in the institutions like the bill and bill Gates Foundation for example which are deep into the vaccination effort so. People are very confident that at the end the 7 the stem where you listed some economic heavyweights that on that list who have already pledged support missing from that list is the u. S. Is not taking part in a suspended funding even to the World Health Organization how much will that affect fund raising efforts. You know that very many people here that the United States are not taking part because of course they are an economic powerhouse. Scientific powerhouse but people know that President Trump the us president is very not very keen to collaborate with International Institutions and is taking more nationalistic approach for the vaccination but not the only one also china and india having their own National Programs and they all say we want this vaccine for the National Market 1st and then we will see if we can get shared with the world on the other hand w. H. O. The world has its organization is saying we need to look seen for everybody in the world it has to be accessible for the whole population and it cannot be owned by a single country what about the timing why is it important to have this fund raiser right now. The german chancellor said we have to speed up efforts if we really want to have a vaccine ready by the end of the year or in 12 months because its very complicated to develop a vaccine that takes actually years normally and now this has to be short cut and for that you have to have parent of approaches and that needs a lot of money for research for the production of the. Vaccine if its there and also for the distribution to every corner of the world in the world. Reporting from brussels thank you. And heres a round up of some of the other pandemic news from around the world the number of people infected with covert 19 worldwide has risen to more than 3500000 almost 250000 people have now died as a result of contracting the disease new zealand has recorded a day with no new cases for the 1st time since the outbreak started and the country is considering opening up 2 way travel with australia egypt is also allowing hotels to reopen for domestic tourists provided they do not exceed 25 percent capacity. Italy is easing some of its Strict Lockdown measures today nationwide restrictions were imposed 7 weeks ago to halt the spread of the corona virus but now pox and are reopening and people will be allowed to visit relatives living in the same region the government has promised further openings this month if the rate of new infections stays low italy has the 2nd highest death toll after the us with almost 29000. 00 deaths out of 210000 cases. Lets go to rome where were joined by journalist seem italy is slowly coming out of lock down what of people looking forward to doing now. Yes indeed i mean its really just a modest reopening but i think for a lot of people in need see the thing they may be looking most forward to is outdoor exercise because of course now you can go beyond the immediate vicinity of your form the honks have reopened and so people can go there you also may be looking to get there as press so a cup of tea will fix thats because the coffee bars and restaurants im now able to take takeaway orders the manufacturing and construction work has also started so all in all you are expected to see more than 4000000 a tally and get back to work this monday they do need to have those self declaration form still though to show that theyre moving because of Health Essential reasons you can visit family members as you mentioned but not friends they make that very clear and honest some but not perhaps funerals also will be allowed right now although only a maximum of 15 people in attendance and held out doors so really it to me has been through a very intense lockdown but now today were seeing a partial lifting all i still in the next days and weeks will be on the number of infections to ensure that you do not see a rise again not that. Also some relief for italians that well have a more from you zoom in a moment but 1st lets take a look back at how its only became the 1st nation in europe to be overwhelmed by the virus. In mid march this was the scene at the main hospital in the northern mekong in 15 a faggot. Dont put up with that over the previous 3 weeks the number of cases had risen exponentially. One doctor had this message for the rest of the world. Just to stop all the break. Not coming in this kind of situation that is very very difficult to manage. For italy such advice came too late so many people were dying that the army had to be called in to transport their bodies to cemeteries and the virus was still spreading despite the governments announcement of a lockdown in the 2nd week of march. Italy was the 1st country in europe to impose such destruction and they were unprecedented suddenly cities such as melanne a place known for its bustle and vigor became deserted his people followed the order to remain indoors unless they needed to leave for work or health reasons. For the 1st time in decades venice was emptied of the millions of tourists who normally visit each year. Italys air force marks world war 2 liberation day without the usual crowds on the ground in rome. Instead people celebrated on their balconies. But they too are now keen to be liberated from their long confines meant to you. As you know theres also criticism about this lifting of measures critics say its too early what are they worried about exactly. A concerned about their health and security but at the same time theyre also worried about the Economic Impact of this lockdown read the Health Officials have been very clear days this posho lifting of those lockdown theyre just but that does not mean that the pandemic is over and if they see the infection rate go up again everything will need to shut down once once again and thats not something that italians want so thats why the Prime Minister has been very clear about this actual lifting has to be dealt with responsibly the impact on the economy has been immense a tens of thousands of people have lost their jobs businesses are suffering theyre seeing even if they are allowed to open some more in the coming weeks. We know that retailers may be allowed to open from the 18th of me on whats in the head dresses in bars and restaurants on the 1st of june if all goes well but theyre saying you still have to practice social distancing so they need not even have enough customers in order to cover their costs so still a lot of issues to be worked out people are afraid theyd say great but they also want to see the economy kickstarted good as we do know that the country is headed towards deep recession. Thank you very much for that update. In australia businesses are adjusting to a gradual return to daily life. Only seeing a few new coronavirus cases each day so authorities have eased many of the National Lockdown restrictions but its far from a return to normal responded bussin hartings travels to sites for the city of mozart that normally draws millions of tourists or tiles and restaurants them fear will be a long time before visitors come back. But what. Finally out for the 1st time after more than 6 weeks of lockdown the summered family in south spoke austria can go to the playground together the kids can hardly wait. As they have been looking forward to the playground because i can play table tennis there and you dont have to sit around at home the whole time. For christina summer and the end of the lockdown is a big relief to as a german teacher she taught her Classes Online now shes happy that she can serious students in person again we received with protection for the face and social distancing and hygiene well be able to do it and im really looking forward to it life is very cautiously returning to the streets of south park. For hairdressers already had their hands full they reopened on saturday keeping your distance is impossible here for salon owner christian streamer the new situation is a challenge and its effect even those who are working on 3 floors of the teams dont have to mix because if someone gets infected then we would have to immediately close up again and were doing the best we can we cant just stay locked up eventually things will have to get back to normal normal if people feel before. But its clear that this normality will look different to the one that south burghers knew before usually this street would be packed with tourists from neighboring countries like germany or from overseas for the people who live here this is a dream they finally get to have their city to themselves but for the many businesses that depend on tourism the end of the lockdown is just the 1st step because what they really need is the borders to open this includes andrea. He owns the blower guns the oldest hotel in the city he tells me in 2 weeks the restaurant will be allowed to reopen with strict hygiene regulations followed by the hotel at the end of the month but who is going to come. And this summer will definitely be difficult Conferences Meetings and so on have a question mark over them and overseas markets have an even bigger one. So i dont think we will see the travel sector return to normal before 2022 and the need for it to call me. Austria is taking the 1st steps in living life with the new coronavirus a life which will take some getting used to. Some one of the worst aspects of the has been the fact that restaurants had to close and people have perhaps run out of recipes to queue dinner interesting that whole never mind the economic damage with hundreds of thousands of restaurants and bars closed for weeks the german state of lower saxony is now set to reopen the bistro namie sector starting next week with the strictures of course only half the seats can be service to the states are great cultural minister. For more on that story im not joined by our Political Correspondent kate brady saxes one of germanys biggest states has announced its going to allow restaurants to start reopening what more do we know about the details. Exactly say these relaxations all of the measures are currently in place on restaurants gastronomy and also some other areas were largely come into effect next monday and as you just mentioned they do come with the restaurants that would be allowed to reopen and would only be able to fill up to 50 percent of their usual capacity and in most places a reservation would also be obligatory on top of that many shops will now be able to reopen as of next week as well at the moment the rule across most of germany is shops with a full of floor space of up to 800 meters squared concurrently rio. And that rule will be done away with and all shops will be able to reopen in lower saxony again with the rather on the condition that social distancing is held and the people are still keeping their distance from each other and of course in all states now across germany as well you are required to wear a face mask both in public transport and in shop so there are still some social distancing measures that would be kept in place but he has certainly set a precedent here when it comes to the next phase of relaxing some restrictions here in germany talking about the next phase jones to america has from the beginning really been pushing for coordinated nationwide lockdown policies. State premiers a due to discuss the next steps on wednesday but it seems now its going to be a case of every state making their own decisions. Well at the end of the day each state is indeed allowed to make it sound decision and what were seeing right now is really the advantages and disadvantages over a federal system like care in germany being brought into the limelight really of course on the one hand it means that a state like lower saxony which has been no by no means the least affected state by corona virus but at the same time its been the worst affected state like bavaria for example its been able to now make targeted relaxations on the restrictions in place and so worst hit areas might take a more cautious approach in relaxing measures but at the same time as you say i know michael would like to see a more united stands across germany across the german states even though they can decide individually and these are some of the discussion the issues are going to be discussed on wednesday the German Government spokesperson reiterated again today that its not only issues like schooling that would be discussed on wednesday but also Tourism Hotels restaurants of course the the high season for travel around germany is on the horizon and so people are eager to get back to the restaurants and also to get those hotels open again weapons civil.
