It is calling it a victory for Global Cooperation but the fundraiser was just as notable for the no shows lets start the pledging the e. U. Kicked off its fund raising drive with 1000000000 euros in the hours that followed pledges were beamed in from across the globe the kingdom of saudi arabia has pledged 500000000. 00 even pop icon madonna made a last minute donation of a 1000000 euros it wasnt enough to reach the fundraisers target but housed 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 her parts of the german chancellor apparently couldnt resist a jab at the u. S. President in the days as a time when we dont always see multilateral cooperation as i would like and i think todays a very important signal of hope often wrong. Germany was one of the leading tone is pledging over 500000000. 00 euros the money is earmarked for International Health organizations and resets 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 fact price around the world. Today sprint was a great start for our man the sun the marathon is the way i had know we need everybody on board. United nations secretary general antonio tara she described the funds as a dime payment he said that to reach everyone everywhere the world must raise 5 times that amount. Or earlier i spoke to mohamed more near a burrell a just from Lancaster University in the u. K. I asked him how the 7400000000 euros are going to help fight the current parts. I think vaccine are really very expensive also says south mainly the development is not really too difficult and its. Relatively cheaper to do but the main major infrastructure required think of abilities in such a way that it once vaccine becomes available it is manufactured in the shortest possible time and it is just too good to have any cordon off the border and this became even more important for this team because we know that diseases many infectious what you are the one currently in the wards is still reporting a disease theyre going to start would be hanging on d the board at the same scale as it has being back in january so therefore the effort is really have been started to ramp up back up ability and have a last resort says that once we need to have the fire we have the resources there. Lets get a round up now of some of the latest pandemic news from different parts of the world here in germany state premiers are expected to approve a plan to allow all shops to reopen and get bonus League Soccer going again with new zealand reporting no new cases for a 2nd straight day Prime Minister just sent our down phoned in to an australian Cabinet Meeting to discuss reopening borders between those neighboring countries malaysia and india have begun to ease part of their lockdown measures but both governments have urged caution as cases continue to rise and thailand reported its lowest number of new infections since march 9th with one new case and no new deaths. Lets get some analysis now from christiane hes a spokesperson for the World Health Organization in geneva mr lynn maya were hearing a lot about lockdown measures being relaxed infection rates dropping etc is the worst of the pandemic behind us. Unfortunately i dont think we can say that its very normal and very good in some ways that lockdown measures are being eased people. Will not to be able to hold us for much longer thats our looks and we need to bring back some normal normality to life and get the economy of course restarts it or not damaged too much but the problem with the coronavirus with call it 19 is that its not like a waterfall as its been turned off and theres no more dropping anyone to the contrary its actually tripping quite a bit still the infection rates and daily infection rates have been lowered but that means we still have to be in section rates and we still have quite an amount of cases we still have people in emotions rooms who still have severe cases and we still have unfortunately deaths from coronavirus but what will be happening now is that we need to learn to live with the coronavirus at least for the foreseeable future in case we have a vaccine so we need to learn to deal on a daily basis with it where do you see then the biggest risks the main problem areas in fighting this pandemic right now. Well 1st its the infection that insert itself and it comes down to the testing because the more we test every suspect case the more we know and see a complete picture we hear now reports from Different Countries in the world that there might have been cases even early on when we didnt even know there was corona circling that much could be possible but we need to look into this but again the testing of every suspect case would be highly important to understand the picture we face in every country around the world and when we know this and we know how to respond and we know how to hold events what to do in schools how to bring children back how to do open business again this is has an impact on everyday lives looking at europe what do you make of the way that germany is dealing with the crisis particularly its eagerness to reopen schools and the economy. Ok so bringing children back to school is really important because its bringing normality back to dallas but it has to be done in a step by step approach the whole reopening house are done in a step by step approach dutys a little bit your morning to how your cases are climbing again or not and that is possible because lets not forget the whole idea of the lockdown was to flatten the curfew remember the terms it was to spread out the cases over an amount of time we never said it would stop like cut off it would spread the cases out over an amount of time and thats exactly whats happening right now so with the step by step approach of all but it all a little bit more cautious see if its working to see if not too many cases are rising sort of the Health System cant cope with it that the hospitals can cope with that and then open more and open more and open more where this leads in terms of for example of a patient or what the mallets he will be in august and september and october is difficult to say right now. Germany seems to be doing well if you look at the relation between infection cases and and death rates thats because thats needed a leading situation and europes. That that is good to see although of course every death individual is deplorable its lin my thank you very much for speaking with us that was christian then miles from the World Health Organization in geneva i 7.

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. Mr president i made good use of my free time 2 years ive never had 6 weeks off before. Furious 5 and so i was far. Behind in the music for.

That is set to stay this way for a long time 90 percent of the german and lines planes are grounded some carry passengers again. We carry a still has around 4000000000. 00 euros in liquid assets that is slowly but surely drying up around 60 percent of lufthansas costs a variable when its planes dont fly it spends less on fuel but thats not the case when it comes to employees thats why 2 thirds of them have been put on to short time work.

Good morning terry i think in general you can say its fair to say that most times it is better prepared than other big kerry has got a really record turnovers recently a record profits and theyre still in much better shape than many others had even problems before the krona crisis that said this is a cause that huge the serious problem crisis for most times as well which sleep early on said is newsy 1000000 euros per hour so i think its a certain issue of thing that will transit will survive this and might even be coming out strong at the other end and it was before in the context of the moffitt of the competition and of course its absolutely essential today that they reach a good deal with the german state and i guess so losing a 1000000. 00 and our 1000000 euros liftons or wants the government bailout money clearly but do you think its going to have to give up some control over the company if it gets it yeah thats a hugely difficult and sensible question especially for love times of i know this c. E. O. Class and work quite well and he is really the prototype of the blueprint of a private enterprise who has actually led lufthansa 3 private company to the soaring heights even like last year still and now for him its A Shia Horace you know rio you have to give up his own on the allies and to have politicians sit on his board and rein in on his decisions so thats a really very crucial question how this is arranged and the fans if absolutely keen and very extremely keen to not give all of their hands too much of that entrepreneurialism weight that when this is all over and people do start flying again what will air travel look like. Its a certain thing that will look much different than the many scenarios discussed in the industry even as we speak and look tough you just mentioned in your report that it was a discussion about middle Seats Remaining 3 times as a band and this is from yesterday with no prescribed path as to whether moscow already so that it is heath little be given out if theres no demand it is probably very important for the island to be can only please and there is no proof that it will increase the fiction risk for passengers overall the whole process of flight of how you arrive at the airport go through many new lady is Health Security in the future will definitely change the Passenger Experience probably forever until a spate an Aviation Industry expert in hamburg thank you very much for talking with us.
