All right d. W. Chief International EditorRichard Walker joins us now from brussels with more on the e. U. Coronavirus fund raiser hello to you richard so tell us what can we expect from todays fund raising summit yeah well its the latest in a series of events that have been aimed at raising money but also awareness for the importance of the Global Corporation in the fight against the coronavirus and todays event is something of a hybrid really weve had politicians taking part we just saw from the line in the clips there from the European Commission but also a lot of entertainers so theres been some advance like a sort of Mini Panel Discussion that featured the Prime Minister of norway and miley cyrus and then there was quite a long interview with one of the bad guys from game of thrones so a little bit of a hybrid going on today later on theres going to be a concert also with a lot of big stars performing in that but they have been some concrete results like the 5000000000 we just saw from the European Commission the german side also chipping in more money seeing 383000000 euros additionally for these International Efforts and i think the whole thing just aimed at underlining this message that the world has to Work Together to fight the coronavirus is not good enough for individual countries particularly rich countries just to try and find vaccines for their own people who was left on the line said to think that you can beat this virus by just vaccinating your own people is just plain wrong now richard is it clear where this money is supposed to go to. Your money will be going to a number of Different International initiatives and just to give you one example is an International Vaccine initiative called garvie that has so that been a focus of a lot of fund raising recently and its about trying to pool resources and coordinate all of these very very large number of Vaccine Development programs that are going on around the world and that takes many forms for instance you are trying to accelerate the process usually takes a very long time for to develop a vaccine especially this testing period where the trials are taking place at various stages now this alliance wants to try and organize manufacturing vaccines even before they are given the green light so that if they are then given the green light they can be surged very quickly to the populations so its that kind of thing that requires a lot of money a lot of coordination to w. s Richard Walker in brussels thank you very much.
