President took global corporations. Also coming up tonight a former u. S. President calling for empathy and unity during the pandemic the voice of george w. Bush some say with a message intended for the. Wrong. Remember that he and simple kindness are essential powerful tools of National Recovery in the final analysis we are not part of combat were human beings. And equally wonderful in the sight of. To our viewers on p. B. S. In the United States and all around the world welcome we begin the day with europe leading one of the defining projects of the 21st century the race to develop a vaccine against the coronavirus just like Climate Change the pandemic is an event impacting everyone in their letter announcing todays Donor Conference leaders wrote that no one is safe until we all are say well that safety it comes with a price so went to days online conference countries from norway to portugal to saudi arabia pledged more than 7000000000. 00 euros money earmarked for the mines behind research aimed at delivering treatments and a vaccine to the world and that financing it comes with the. 2 Strings Attached it must ensure that the vaccine is excessive all to everyone and a fordable for everyone a project for all people that does not enjoy the open support from all countries today 2 important leading economies did not participate did not pledge anything china and the United States they are busy with each other at the moment more on that later we begin with this reports lets 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 pledged 500000000. 00 even icon madonna made a last minute donation of a 1000000 euros it wasnt enough to reach the fundraisers target but house to us in a funded line insisted it send the right signal that 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 didnt pledge any money russia and the United States were both absent from the conference for parts of the german chancellor apparently couldnt resist a jab at the u. S. President in the days after time when we dont always see multilateral cooperation as i would like and i think todays a very important signal of hope. Germany was one of the leading tone is pledging over 500000000. 00 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 medicine the marathon is the way i had know we need everyone 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 European Union she 1st learned alliances that the world is you know going to be against the corona virus china United States however pledged nothing today earlier i asked you to use chief International EditorRichard Walker in brussels how you knowing it or we really are. Yeah good question i mean of course china was at least involved in this Video Conference but at a very low level and pledged no additional funding the United States though wasnt even taking part and it is really particularly striking in the case of the u. S. And if you think back to almost any moment in recent decades the United States would have been the natural leader of this effort it has the political might it has the economic might it has the scientific might to take on Global Leadership and yet its not in the room its at war with in a war of words with china about whos responsible for the for the beginning of the outbreak its pulled funding from the World Health Organization so from the point of view of the European Union which is determined to be the sort of last remaining believer in multilateralism on the world stage it is almost looking like a complete scupper of these efforts china on the other hand is looked at as a state that believes in multilateralism when it suits it but hasnt put any money here a tool either but still the European Union stresses this is really important work its worthwhile and this 7 half 1000000000 or so euros is just the start of something thats going to be a much bigger project in the months to come your producer this is just the start with drugs have 1000000000 euros pledged to how much more money is actually need to do we know. Well the secretary general of the United Nations said that Something Like 5 times this amount would be needed also metally over the next year maybe year and a half or so brigid put that in proportion if you think about it what all of the Central Banks around the World Governments around the world have been pumping into economies had to deal with the economic and social impact of the coronavirus that really dwarfs this amount of money that were talking about here i mean the European Union for instance is looking at a Recovery Plan for after the pandemic the numbers bandied around there go up to one and a half trillion euros so thats 200. 00 times as much as been this was pledged today. And so i think its clear that every penny invested in the medical efforts to tackle the coronavirus will be paid back many times over or are there Richard Walker on the story for us in brussels richard thank you. The United States and china did not participate in todays Donor Conference relations between washington and beijing have gone from luke warm to cold this year u. S. President trump has suggested that the outbreak is the result of an experiment in a chinese lab that went wrong u. S. Intelligence is investigating that claim but adds it agrees with scientists that the new coronavirus is not manmade u. S. Intelligence and scientists are on the same page regarding the origin of the virus what about the Trump Administration listen to what u. S. Secretary of state mike pompei of said in an interview sunday with a. B. C. News thats the Scientific Consensus was not manmade or genetically modified thats right i grieve that ive said ive seen their analysis ive seen the summary that you saw that was released publicly i have no reason to doubt that that is accurate that ok so just to be clear to you did not think it was manmade or genetically modified ive seen what the Intelligence Committee has said i have no reason to believe that theyve got it wrong. The contradictions in the double speak of the Trump Administration is not helping the u. S. President s popularity the latest polls show that 53 percent of americans do not approve of how the administration is handling the crisis while trump repeats his muncher that america wants to go back to work he often forgets to mention the more than 56000 lives that have been lost in just the past 3 months in fact trump is reportedly expecting the death toll to double between now and the end of june well that brings us to the voice we heard over the weekend the bourse voice of a former u. S. President george w. Bush led the u. S. When the 911 terror attacks shook the country his policies especially the war in iraq divided the country and fueled a new level of toxic polarizing politics bush the 43rd president and trump the 45th they have a lot in common yet trump says he has never spoken with his predecessors never even once to glean insight from their experience trumps may not be asking for advice but advice is being offered this is the message to americans from george w. Bush the 43rd u. S. President. This is a challenging and solemn time the life of our nation and world. Morsels invisible enemy threatens the elderly and vulnerable among us a disease that can quickly take breath and life. Medical professionals are risking their own health for the health of others and were deeply grateful officials at every level are setting out the requirements of Public Health that protect us all. And we all need to do our. Lives hes also threatens broader damage harm to our sense of Safety Security and community. The larger challenge we share is to confront an aberrated of fear and loneliness and it is frustrating that many of the normal tools of compassion. Touch can bring the opposite of the good we intended. In this case we serve our neighbor by separating from them we cannot allow physical separation to become emotional isolation this requires us to be not only compassionate but creative in our outreach and people across the nation are using the tools of technology in the cause of solidarity. In this time of testing we need to remember a few things 1st let us remember we have faced times of testing before following 9 11 d i saw a great nation rise is one to honor the brave to grieve with the grieving and to embrace unavoidable new duties and i have no doubt undergone its a spirit of service and sacrifice is alive and well in america. Second let us remember that in physique and simple kindness are essential powerful tools of National Recovery. Even at an appropriate social distance we can find ways to be present in the lives of others. Ease their anxiety and share their birds. Remember that the suffering we experience as a nation does not fall even lee in the days to come it will be especially important to care in practical ways for the. And the unemployed finally a pleasure remember how small our differences are in the face of this shared threat in the final analysis we are not part of combat were human beings. And equally wonderful and this side of. We rise or fall together and we are determined to rise god bless you all. Or regardless of what you may think of the policies of george w. Bush his message of empathy and unity is stirring and you would not be off the mark to think that much of bushs message was meant for the ears of President TrumpPresident Trump apparently thought his response was a typical trump tweet the us president on sunday wrote this oh by the way i appreciate the message from former president bush but where was he during impeachment calling for putting partisanship aside fox and friends he was nowhere to be found in speaking up against the greatest hoax in American History trump revealing resentments that he still holds against the former us president if mr bush was hoping to change the mind or heart of mr trump well he may have to try again. Greek authorities have transferred 400 Asylum Seekers to mainland greece from the crowded re refugee camp on the island of lesbos humanitarian groups have been calling on the greek government to evacuate the camp due to overcrowded conditions as well as due to the threat of a coronavirus outbreak 800000. 00 migrants live in or around the refugee camp which has been under a lockdown for more than a month and this is the 1st mortgage transfer since the lockdown began. My colleague. He has reported from this camp from lesbos he joins me now here the big tables aid organizations like Human Rights Watch for example they have said that its time to evacuate the camp theyve been calling for a long time why is it so urgent right now theres 2 reasons for that the one is the big what if now imagine if the coronavirus got into a camp of 18000 people that was built for 3000 unbelievably crowded conditions where people are sleeping sometimes 5 people in a 2 person tent no way to socially distance in that situation and some doctors there saying that there would be thousands of cases at the camp before anybody tested positive now just imagine what they would do on an island where thousands of people came down with the crown of ours at the same time stressing the Hospital System that the 2nd thing though is whats going on right now not the what if but the what is. The lockdown there is a pretty Strict Lockdown and it has exacerbated the already poor conditions in that camp i mean what does i mean just imagine what it looks like right here what does a the lockdown look like they are its basically 247 from 7 pm to 7 am during the night nobody is allowed to go out and then during the day only about 100. 00 people are allowed to go out for our no 100 people is not that much compared to the 18000 people that live there so about 95 percent of the people. Wont be able to go out on any given day what i saw when i was there was how people would leave the camp to go supplement their resources so go Grocery Shopping or get things like lightbulbs and stuff that they cant didnt provide and now that is basically not open to them and what that leads to is this we have this video sent to us by an n. G. O. S german n. G. O. That shows the lunch line now if you imagine people go to the Grocery Store make their own lunch but now since they cant they have to rely on the official provisions there and it leads to lunch lines of sometimes 6 hours waiting thats the better part of your day time just standing in a line like this is only half way through now so the conditions have gotten worse under lockdown and making a bad situation even worse and thats why n. G. O. S are calling for immediate evacuation and you really look at that video theres no social distancing taking place there is there room for high take place. Greek authorities we understand transferred 400. 00 Asylum Seekers to the mainland is this the beginning of an evacuation is that what were looking at its been a change of policies the greek government hadnt evacuated anybody since the beginning of lockdown that almost seen the island as a quarantine in itself but i think now theyre listening to n. G. O. S and realizing that thats a powder keg so theyve begun evacuations 400. 00 is just a drop in the bucket its supposed to be the beginning of a larger evacuation but theyve been promising now for ever for at least several years and well have to see if that happens i mean. We appreciate your reporting thank you thanks fred. A new study estimates that the number of coded 1000 cases here in germany is far higher than what has been officially reported the study of the region around heinz baird which was an early corona virus hot spots in the country found that infections in some areas were 5 times higher than previously known it also found that about 20 percent of the people infected had no symptoms making it harder to trace the disease progress researchers estimate 1800000 people in germany have already contracted the corona virus. So how much can the results of this study be believe the relied upon thats a question that we put earlier to martin sturmer a viral a just at the i am deal lab in frankfurt he says we should be cautious about the findings and want you to take a listen. Yeah they calculated and different way they had their estimates of the people being affected and hundreds of burka based on p. C. R. Tests and communication was antibody tests and on based on these numbers they calculated a death rate based on the infection infected people and have only on the reported cases and then they recalculated their death rate compared to the total people who died in germany and then they came to this 1800000. 00 people so its a little bit biased because their primary numbers are these numbers in heinsberg so i think on my point of view its not comparable or cannot conclude to the situation in ca and whole germany based on their data we have to carefully rethink our discussion which we which we have actually about easing and returning from from locked on measure so we have to look at loops of that maybe children this is one other point of the study that even children marriage contribute to a significant aspect to the spread of the infection and all of these together from my point of view we have to carefully discuss about easing the cost of the measures. Every year g. W. Gives out its freedom of speech award this year the award highlights journalist who have been persecuted because of their coverage of the corona virus pandemic here are some of those journalists that we are on every so they are courageous reporting. Threatened attacked arrested press freedom was already a contentious and often dangerous issue in countries governed by repressive leaders the corona crisis is giving autocratic regimes a welcome excuse to clamp down even further theyre using the pandemic also to bring pressure on journalists and we see this in china russia and turkey iran received around the globe so that these countries which have a very problematic. Attitude on press freedom theyre using this not to. January 2020 these images were secretly shot by chinese citizen journalist fung been inside a hospital in rouhani the epicenter of the pandemic his reports divorced me from the image of the country portrayed on state television there was. A short while ago i saw 3 corpses here he says on the video now there are 8. 10 chris shia loyal was the most prominent citizen journalist in one hand which i may have been viruses right in front of me or chinas criminal prosecutors are behind me im not afraid of death do you think im afraid if you come in this party of china or holland called out well it was gently shes lost video before he disappeared without trace just like fang been his last Footage Shows Police knocking at his door here that our. Holiday let me know that our. In the world will use director Peter Limburg criticized chinas blocking of investigations into the virus as origin and a free press would have really helped to to find the reason and at the end would have saved lives of china. In russia where press freedom is strictly curtailed government friendly Media Outlets have been spreading misinformation about the corona crisis independent journalists are feeling the pressure. Elaina mulish internationally renowned investigative journalist received Death Threats after reporting on the coronavirus in chechnya allegedly from chechen president Ramzan Kadyrov himself the Organization Reporters Without Borders has documented a Record Number of arbitrary acts of violence against reporters in venezuela davisson ross was detained by special forces for 12 days for reporting on called 1000 on social media. In countries where press freedom is already under threat the corona pandemic is making things even more difficult and more dangerous for journalists. Finally hows your hair faring these days if you live in a walk down area you like me where you havent been able to visit a barber in the past few weeks you probably tried to cut your own here as i have done as you see right there or today here in germany hair salons and barbers they open for business again as germany further eases its restrictions for many here in berlin its a welcome relief after some doit yourself disasters take a look. After so long 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.

All the and his coworkers are fully booked through the end of the month walk ins are out of the question. Now that people know were open again the phone has been ringing off the hook from morning till night but thats fine with me im 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. Financially speaking its not the best situation but i think many are in the same boat and so many people have lost their jobs so i really cant complain.
