"What always comes back to me is the shock, just the shock of it, that our world could be turned upside down in an instant. And that again reinforces the idea that these moments that we have, these hours and days and weeks and months and years that we have, to be able to do something and make it count, make it important, is the greatest bulwark against something that shocking happening. We can't prevent that all the time, but we can be strong in our response and people have done that. That's what I take away from it."

So the song is a message: We are here. She just released a video and actually they did it today as the moment of silence, on Z-100, I think it was like 40 different stations.So it was pretty amazing."

It's something that's remembered even more so as time goes on. And that's really why I wanted to be here today, you know?"

I saw the plane, second plane... you know, it was a terrible day for a lot of people here, a lot of people everywhere. So I was talking with him about it, 15-years-old, it would have been his first day of school, it was his first day of school, they cancelled school obviously, but yeah, it's hard to believe it was that long ago.

CELEBRITIES COME OUT FOR ANNUAL 9/11 CHARITY DAY

Michael J. Fox, Michelle Williams and Swizz Beatz were among some of the entertainers who attended the annual Charity Day at Cantor Fitzgerald.

The event takes place each year on the anniversary of the September 11 attacks on America in 2001. More than 650 employees of the financial firm were killed when two airplanes flown by terrorists crashed into the World Trade Center.

In their honor, the company donates all of its revenue earned on September 11 to various charities, some of them chosen by the celebrities.

"I'm here on behalf of Opening Act, which is an organization that brings theatre into high-needs schools in Brooklyn and in the Bronx," said actress Michelle Williams. "And I'm also here because it's, you know, on September 11th, it's hard to figure out what to do, how to commemorate the day. And this is a way that I can pass it in good conscience."

New York City native Ben Stiller feels the same way.

"I think it's always a day where you remember and being a New Yorker - I think anybody has a feeling about it - so I think this is a great thing where you can just come back and do something that sort of honors everybody who was affected, you know?" he said, before walking the trading floor and greeting Cantor Fitzgerald employees.

Actor Michael J. Fox, whose Parkinson's charity -- The Michael J. Fox Foundation -- benefits from the day, said 9/11 always reminds him that individuals can make a difference.

"What always comes back to me is the shock, just the shock of it, that our world could be turned upside down in an instant. And that again reinforces the idea that these moments that we have, these hours and days and weeks and months and years that we have, to be able to do something and make it count, make it important, is the greatest bulwark against something that shocking happening," he said. "We can't prevent that all the time, but we can be strong in our response and people have done that. That's what I take away from it."

"Girls" actress Zosia Mamet put it another way:

"I think New York particularly, more so than anywhere else in the world, is a city that in times of need really bands together," she said. "And they're so proud and they're so loyal, New Yorkers, and I think that it really goes to show, every year, it's not something that's ever forgotten. It's something that's remembered even more so as time goes on. And that's really why I wanted to be here today."

Allan Boesak, one of the most visible figures during the anti-apartheid struggle, was convicted on Wednesday of stealing money donated to fight white rule, including funds from singer Paul Simon.

Boesak was found guilty on four counts of fraud or theft totalling 400-thousand dollars and acquitted on 23 other charges.

Judge John Foxcroft pronounced guilty of one count of fraud and one of theft in the Simon case.

Singer Paul Simon donated two hundred thousand dollars to the Foundation for Peace and Justice charity, headed by Boesak, after a South African concert tour in 1988.

But Boesak only passed one hundred and twenty eight thousand dollars on to charity and Judge Foxcroft ruled that Boesak had used the remainder for his own purposes.

Foxcroft said that part of the problem had been that trustees and donors had been blinded by Boesak's "larger than life personality" and reputation.

He also said Boesak was guilty of the theft of 226-thousand U-S dollars donated by a Swedish government aid agency.

The money was supposed to have gone to make voter-education videos but was used instead to develop a radio studio to be used by his wife, Elna.

Boesak was also found guilty of taking a total of 93-thousand U-S dollars to help buy houses in the upmarket Cape Town suburbs of Vredehoek and Constantia and giving 4-thousand-200 U-S dollars to Elna.

Foxcroft took almost three hours to read through the 27 charges one by one.

Boesak showed little emotion and refused to comment to reporters.

The former head of the World Alliance of Reformed Churches was accused of taking more than 300-thousand U-S dollars for himself and misusing a further 2-point-42 (m) million dollars donated to the Foundation for Peace and Justice charity he headed.

Boesak faces an unspecified fine or jail term - defence lawyer Mike Maritz said no decision had yet been made on an appeal.

Boesak's conviction comes after his bookkeeper Freddie Steenkamp was jailed for six years after embezzling cash from the Foundation.

Once a top African National Congress leader in the Cape Town area, Boesak played a leading role in the anti-apartheid struggle that ended in the country's first all-race elections in 1994.

He gave up an appointment as ambassador to the United Nations in Geneva when the scandal involving his charity emerged.

3. 00:24 SOUNDBITE (Mandarin) Yao Ming, founder of Yao Foundation:

"I think all the kids we are helping need us to see them as equal as we are. Charity is not just giving, more importantly is the attitude of giving. We should not do charity work as giving from the higher level to the lower ones. We should try to provide opportunity for them. As a traditional Chinese idiom says it is better to teach people fishing than just giving them fish."

"It's good to be here back in China on behalf of Yao - he has a great Foundation. I played with Yao in Houston. He was a superstar not only because he is from China but just because he was a superstar, very unselfish and this trend carries over to a charity game and his foundation."

8. 02:16 Yao and players on stage holding the calligraphy work for photos

STORYLINE:

Looking to boost his charity's revenues, Yao Ming has managed to gather a cluster of NBA players together in Beijing for a match against the Chinese national team on July the 1st.

SCRIPTING INFORMATION:

The location will be the venue which hosted the Olympic basketball in 2008.

The date - July the 1st.

The protagonists will be an NBA select team - and the Chinese national side.

And we even know the winner - the Yao Foundation.

The children's charity founded by Yao Ming has benefited since 2007 from games organised by the former Houston Rockets centre.

Steve Nash was instrumental in the inaugural fixture - the second one was staged in Taipei in 2010 with the participation of Jeremy Lin.

As for 2013, six NBA men are in China to play for the Yao Foundation team.

Metta World Peace, formerly known as Ron Artest, used to be a team-mate of Yao's in Houston.

The remainder are Joakim Noah, the Chicago Bulls centre; Kyle Lowry, George Hill, Luis Scola and Tracy McGrady.

China will no doubt also be using the match as preparation for the 2013 FIBA Asian Championships to be played in Manila in early August.

"I think when you're talking to young people about drugs and alcohol what's important is not to moralize about it, or say 'Don't do drugs' or futile, impotent messages that don't reach young people, I think it's important just to address the reasons why people drink and take drugs in the first place, whether they're young or old. I remember when I was a kid, the reason drugs first became attractive to me was because I felt kind of lonely and felt sad. Now I've had access to abstinence based recovery, I know that there's a solution to the initial emotional problem that led me to drink and take drugs in the first place. So that's what I think is great about the Amy Winehouse Foundation."

Our people who are in recovery are delivering the shares" (sharing their own experiences) "and we believe that we have to do it slowly but surely, You know obviously there will be economies of scale and as we get bigger, everything else will get bigger as well but we won't rest until every child in secondary school is getting the information that they need to make the correct choices."

STORYLINE

MITCH WINEHOUSE AND RUSSELL BRAND LAUNCH DRUG AND ALCOHOL AWARENESS INITIATIVE FOR SCHOOLS

Mitch Winehouse recalled his struggle with his daughter Amy's addiction, at the launch of a charity initiative to raise awareness of the problem amoung young people.

Russell Brand, a friend of the late singer, joined her father at the launch, in London on Tuesday (12 MARCH 2013)

Launched through the charity foundation set up in the late singer's memory, The Amy Winehouse Foundation's Resilience Programme has been set up with treatment charity Addaction, and aims to tackle the root causes of drug and alcohol problems.

Brand opened up about his own history of substance abuse at the press conference, to illustrate his belief that a non-judemental approach is key to educating young people,

"I think when you're talking to young people about drugs and alcohol what's important is not to moralise about it, or say 'Don't do drugs' or futile impotent messages that don't reach young people, I think it's important just to address the reasons why people drink and take drugs in the first place, whether they're young or old," said the actor. "I remember when I was a kid, the reason drugs first became attractive to me was because I felt kind of lonely, I felt sad. Now I've had access to abstinence based recovery, I know that there's a solution to the initial emotional problem that led me to drink and take drugs in the first place. So that's what I think is great about the Amy Winehouse Foundation."

The Foundation and Addaction say the new drug and alcohol awareness programme for schools will roll out in ten places across England.

A trained team of recovering addicts, supported by professional workers, will share their own experiences to help young people better understand drug and alcohol misuse.

The focus will be on self-esteem, risky behavior and peer pressure.

Amy Winehouse died in July 2011 from accidental alcohol poisoning.

Her father Mitch says working with the Foundation has helped him understand more about the disease of addiction.

"When we were struggling with Amy's illness, I didn't have a clue, I didn't know what I was doing and a lot of the way that I would express myself would be shouting and screaming. Which doesn't help anybody," he said. "You know we have to give people the information, allow them to understand the consequences of their behaviour, and allow them to decide when they stop taking drugs and to stop drinking. They have to make that decision, parents can't make the decision for them."

The late singer is now set to be posthumously honored a part of the new Camden Walk of Fame.

Due to be launched later this year by the London Borough of Camden, the Hollywood inspired Walk will feature discs honoring a range of music artists.

Winehouse confirms the idea has the family's backing - but he would rather be celebrating with a daughter still living.

"Yeah we're involved, it's going great, we have Amy's statue which is going to be unveiled in September, which we're working on at the moment so all of these things are exciting but of course Amy's not here," he said. "I wish we weren't having to think about walks of fame and statues, and things like that, I wish she was here with us. But she's not, so we have to do the best that we can."

JET LI'S LAWYERS WEIGH IN ON EMBEZZLEMENT ACCUSATIONS

Jet Li strikes back at allegations of embezzlement by posting letters from his attorney.

The 50-year-old Kung Fu star came under fire recently when a Chinese media company "April Media" accused him of embezzlement from One Foundation, a charity that he founded in 2007.

On April 22nd, April Media posted financial figures from 10 charity organizations in China, including One Foundation.

According to the chart, One Foundation received over $380 million RMB dollars for last year's Ya'an Earthquake relief.

However, it only forked out rougly 10% of the donation.

The headline asked, "Did Jet Li Embezzle $300 million of the Lushan Earthquake Fund?"

The weibo post generated a lot of discussion on China's cyberspace and prompted a reply from One Foundation.

One Foundation posted a statement online explaining that disbursing earthquake relief funds takes time and the post-earthquake reconstruction work is an on going process that requires careful and responsible planning.

It asks their supporters to be patient and promises that in a year or two, results of their work will be revealed.

Li first laughed off the allegations by jokingly asking if someone could teach him how to embezzle $300 million dollars and get away with it?

A day later, he took further measures to protect his name.

Li posted letters from his attorney on his Weibo account on April 24.

The letters, addressed to April Media, accuses the company of slandering Li with "baseless" allegations.

The lawyers believe that April Media's Weibo post has "negatively effected the public opinions of Mr.Li."

On behalf of Li, the lawyers asks that April Media remove the related posts on Weibo and issue an official apology to Li.

They also reserve the right to sue.

Lawyer of April Media, Wu Fa Tian responded and told the Associated Press that his client has not yet receive any indictment papers but will respond once they do.

Wu also added that Li's letters from the attorney only took attention away from the underlying question - where did the money go?

Wu said, "April Media simply made public the financial numbers of these charitable organization. These are facts, not made up� If they're going to solicit donations, they need to have the ability to follow through with execution. You need to deliver the money to the victims."

Li was inspired to start One Foundation after surviving the 2004 Indian Ocean Tsuanmi, while vacationing with family in the Maldives.

He was briefly separated from his daughter when the water swept their hotel but at the end, the family was unharmed.

One Foundation was Li's way of giving back to society.

After posting letters from his attorney on his Weibo account, Li received more than 6000 likes, retweets and comments.

BON JOVI, CHARITIES OPEN HUNGER CENTER AT NEW JERSEY SHORE

Musician and philanthropist Jon Bon Jovi joined local charities to help launch an anti-hunger center in a section of the New Jersey shore devastated by Superstorm Sandy.

The Jersey-born rocker and his Jon Bon Jovi Soul Foundation announced plans Tuesday (14 APRIL 2015) for the B.E.A.T. Center, which stands for Bringing Everyone All Together. The center site is designed as a one-stop facility to help people get food stamps, health care, meals for at-risk children and seniors, and culinary-related job training. It will open later this year in Toms River.

The center also will house a second JBJ Soul Kitchen community restaurant, where diners pay a minimum $10 donation or do volunteer work for their meals. The first one opened in 2011 in Red Bank, New Jersey.

Bon Jovi says Ocean County suffered the worst damage from the October 2012 storm, but has not gotten a proportionate share of aid.

"Ocean County was directly impacted by Hurricane Sandy; it was not a wealthy county to begin with," he said. "At one point or another, 45 percent of households that had kids needed emergency food relief services during the course of the last year. I know people who have been hungry. You'd be shocked to know these hardworking, middle-class people from the tri-state area who after the economic downturn couldn't afford to keep a consistent, nutritious meal on the table."

Toms River was one of the hardest-hit communities during Sandy. Many homes and businesses and even the main road through town still have not been rebuilt.

Bon Jovi is partnering with the Food Bank of Monmouth and Ocean Counties, The Peoples Pantry and the David Tepper Charitable Foundation to provide $5 million in services to needy families in the B.E.A.T. Center's first year of operation.

The center joins other charitable endeavors undertaken by Bon Jovi, including the construction of 440 units of affordable housing for homeless or low-income families; donations to numerous Sandy relief efforts; and two Soul Kitchen restaurants, including a smaller third one in a firehouse in storm-tossed Union Beach, New Jersey.

"With hunger and homelessness, I realized 10 years ago that this was something we could make a dent in - just a dent - that didn't need a scientist to create the cure," he told the Associated Press. "That we, with a little money and action and then desire, that we could in fact make a dent. We're certainly going to try."

His band, Bon Jovi, has been one of rock and roll's most popular acts for the past 32 years, with hits including "Livin' On A Prayer," "You Give Love A Bad Name" and "Wanted Dead Or Alive."

CLEARANCE DETAILS

SOCCER STARS AND CELEBRITIES TEAM UP FOR CHARITY FUNDRAISER #GAME4GRENFELL

Soccer stars and a host of celebrities will take part in a soccer game to raise money for the victims of the Grenfell Tower fire, and the wider community in West London.

#Game4Grenfell will take place at Queens Park Rangers' Loftus Stadium, just a mile from the burned-out tower block in North Kensington, on Saturday September 2.

Music stars dusting off their boots include Marcus Mumford of Mumford and Sons, Olly Murs, Wretch 32, Tinie Tempah, DJ Spoony, Jarvis Cocker, Richard Ashcroft, James Bay and Serge Pizzorno of Kasabian.

Among the movie and TV stars who have signed up are Damian Lewis, Jamie Dornan and Tamer Hassan, with more to be announced before the event.

A host of ex-professional soccer players, including Les Ferdinand, David Seaman, Trevor Sinclair, Alan Shearer, Andy Sinton, Jody Morris, Ally McCoist and Paul Merson, will take part.

The match is the brainchild of QPR Chairman Tony Fernandes, Director of Football Les Ferdinand, and Ferdy Unger-Hamilton from Columbia Records.

Marcus Mumford - who lives near Grenfell Tower - has been involved in the effort to help survivors and the wider community since the fire in mid-June. He has spent the last few weeks with survivors and their families, and helped set up a free summer football program for children of all ages, which runs until September 2.

"I live locally and woke up on that Wednesday morning (15 JUNE 2017) and turned on the news... woke up with my kid, turned on the news and looked out my window and there it was: the tower on fire. So like a lot of people in the community, just ran down and based myself from ClementJames (Center - a local charity and community organization) for the first week, where I met a number of survivors of the Tower. And then I spent the last six weeks, yeah, spending a lot of time down there meeting with people, being privileged enough to listen to their stories. And then once you listen, you kind of feel like you've got a bit of a responsibility as well."

Ex-footballer Les Ferdinand grew up in the area and spent much of his youth in the local community before going on to play for QPR. He says the event will help the healing process, though there will be some friendly rivalry on the day.

"It's not about the football match and who wins the football match, it's about how we can bring people together. But once you put the shirt on and the boots are dusted off, then it does become a bit competitive again, so I'll go for the footballers to win."

Mumford is also a keen soccer player, and relishes the chance to play against the ex-pros.

"Yeah - I'd love to smash some goals past David Seaman. I'm not sure it's going to happen, but it would be a dream."

Tickets for #Game4Grenfell are on sale now, priced £15 for adults and £5 concessions.

"Yeah, I live locally and woke up on that Wednesday morning and turned on the news... woke up with my kid, turned on the news and looked out my window and there it was: the tower on fire. So like a lot of people in the community, just ran down and based myself from ClementJames (Centre - a local charity and community organization) for the first week, where I met a number of survivors of the Tower. And then I spent the last six weeks, yeah, spending a lot of time down there meeting with people, being privileged enough to listen to their stories and then once you listen, you kind of feel like you've got a bit of a responsibility as well. So we've been doing various things, trying to support various groups, trying to help coordination, bring people together, do a bit of advocacy, calling up... speaking to more MPs (Members of Parliament) than I ever thought I would in my life, and most of it is all being done behind-the-scenes. And then with this really, I think, really positive program, and positive event, it's time to, you know, speak up a bit."

5. SOUNDBITE (English) Les Ferdinand, ex-soccer player, Director of Football, Queens Park Rangers:

"And we felt what could we do as a club? And we're a mile away from Grenfell Tower and as I said, I grew up on the estate, so we thought a game was the obvious thing - see if we can get some footballers, get some celebrities together, and anyone who knew about the event or saw what had happened wanted to be involved in the best way they could, and this is one way of giving back to the community."

"Yeah, you know, some of the people that will play - like, we've got Alan Shearer, who's coming down, we've got Paul Merson, we've got Ally McCoist, you know, we've got some former QPR (Queens Park Rangers) - David Seaman, Trevor Sinclair, Andrew Impey. We're still trying to persuade the manager (Ian Holloway) to play - I'm sure he'll turn out, you know, so... Mark Bertram, who's been at QPR for part of the local community, so we've got a host of names coming down and we're just so pleased that they're giving up their time to... for a really good cause."

(Reporter: "It's a great roster, isn't it? Marcus says he can't wait to dust his boots off.")

"Yeah, he's... he'll tell you about the celebrities that are playing, but yeah, he's dusting his boots off and he's getting himself ready and prepared, and he's been fantastic, you know - he's been down there every single day, been involved in everything that's been going on and so it's great to have him on board, helping with this as well."

9. SOUNDBITE (English) Marcus Mumford, recording artist:

"Yeah, there's a bunch of likely lads. There's not enough girls yet. I want to get some girls playing, but... Who have we got? We've got James Bay, who I play football with sometimes - he's very good; Newcastle fan, Olly Murs, who - even if we're on the same side - I'm still going to go in two-footed on him. Who else have we got? Jarvis Cocker is playing, Wretch (32) is playing, Tinie Tempah is playing, I think, Damian Lewis is going to play. Yeah, there's a bunch of good people around, and you know, it's not a hard sell, you know? It's like, come and play football, and people are so aware of this event, and the money raised from the match itself is going to go to the London Community Fund, who have been looking after the Dispossessed Fund the Evening Standard's raised, and have been doing well with it. So some of it is going to go to the survivors directly, and some of it is going to go to the wider community as well. So, you know, this is just a drop in the ocean really, and part of a wider response, but also not the end, you know? Just because this is happening, something positive to look forward to for families in the area, but it's also just the start, really, and I think that some of the funds raised are going to go to the wider community."

10. SOUNDBITE (English) Les Ferdinand, ex-soccer player, Director of Football, Queens Park Rangers:

(Reporter: "You've got some great names involved. Can you predict a score?")

"You know, it's funny because I said really it's not about the football match and who wins the football match, it's about how we can bring people together. But once you put the shirt on and the boots are dusted off, then it does become a bit competitive again, so I'll go for the footballers to win."

11. SOUNDBITE (English) Marcus Mumford, recording artist:

"I mean, to be honest, I think the match itself is fairly irrelevant - it's the event. But I mean, yeah - I'd love to smash some goals past David Seaman. I'm not sure it's going to happen, but it would be a dream."

(Reporter: "Give it a go!")

"Yeah, definitely."

"As I told the General Assembly on Monday, Tuesday and today, our approach to malaria can serve as a model for other campaigns to battle the evils we face now. Not just with disease, but hunger, poverty, illiteracy and gender inequality. The great progress we have seen on malaria comes thanks to you, the generous donors and our other partners, who are putting their money to good use."

5. SOUNDBITE: (English) Bono, Singer of U2:

"I'd like to say that I'm not here as a rock star. Really, I'm here as a fan. I'm a fan of Malaria No More, what you two gentlemen have done is extraordinary. I'm a great fan of Africa, in particular. I'm a fan of these leaders, incredible: Kagame (Rwanda's President Paul Kagame), Kikwete (Tanzania's President Jakaya Kikwete), President Kufuor (Ghana's President John Kufuor). I'm in their fan club. And I'm a great fan of the physicians and the scientists, who've gathered on this problem, Bill Gates - he's a rock star."

And I want to thank Ray and Peter for everything they've done. This campaign, and the campaigns with the Malaria Roll Back Partnership, have achieved more in a year, than most campaigns achieve in a hundred years. Thank you very much for what you've done."

"First it is true that indeed, in Zanzibar we have reached a point where we may soon announce that malaria has been eliminated, which to us is a big success. Of course our preoccupation now is to create the mechanism to sustain the success, so that we don't have a re-emergence. Because, we have succeeded - this is the third time we have succeeded in Zanzibar. We want this time to be the final time."

"But to all other governments here, can I say: let us not drop the baton when the focus comes off this meeting. The hard work will be next week and the week after and the year after and the year after that. Our proposal's modest: it's to deal with our own neighbourhood. But we'll take it from there. Thanks very much."

STORYLINE:

World leaders and celebrities gathered in New York on Thursday announced a new commitment of nearly three (b) billion US dollars to the fight against malaria.

With the number of malaria deaths approaching one (m) million a year, most of them infants and toddlers, the infectious disease has become a scourge in remote areas of Africa and Southeast Asia.

But officials said Thursday, malaria as a mass child killer would be virtually eliminated globally by 2015 under the new plan, which is backed by nearly three (b) billion US dollar in pledges, and could, as UN Secretary General Ban ki-Moon said, serve as "a model for other campaigns to battle the evils we face now".

"Not just with disease, but hunger, poverty, illiteracy and gender inequality. The great progress we have seen on malaria comes thanks to you, the generous donors and our other partners, who are putting their money to good use," Ban told the 2008 Malaria Summit.

Led by the Secretary-General's Special Envoy on Malaria, Ray Chambers, who is also co-chairman of the NGO, Malaria No More, the summit brought together government leaders, health ministers, NGOs and leaders from business and industry as part of the Millennium Development Goals.

The ambitious public-private coalition intends to eliminate malaria deaths by 2015, with possible eradication of the disease by 2020.

Specifically, the plan aims to reduce those deaths to almost zero within just seven years by providing better access to bed nets, indoor spraying, improved diagnosis and treatment, preventative measures for pregnant women and development of new vaccines.

The plan was unveiled with much hoopla on Thursday by U.N. officials, Microsoft founder Bill Gates, U2 frontman Bono, "American Idol" creator Simon Fuller, News Corporation's president Peter Chernin and other heads of state and ministers from Australia, Bangladesh, Ethiopia, Sri Lanka, Tanzania and Zambia.

Bono, who attended the meeting along with fellow singer, Youssou N'Dour, praised those involved.

"I'd like to say that I'm not here as a rock-star. Really, I'm here as a fan. I'm a fan of Malaria No More," the Irish rocker said. "I'm a great fan of Africa, in particular. I'm a fan of these leaders, incredible: Kagame, Kikwete, President Kufuor. I'm in their fan club. And I'm a great fan of the physicians and the scientists, who've gathered on this problem."

The plan was sponsored by the Roll Back Malaria Partnership, which was launched in 1998 by the World Bank and three U.N. agencies: the World Health Organisation, the United Nations Children's Fund and the United Nations Development Programme.

British Prime Minister, Gordon Brown also offered kind words on the programme.

"This is a historic meeting and a historic moment, and I think people are beginning to realise here that it's not just a one billion dollar moment, it's going to be a three- three and a half billion dollar moment," said Brown.

"This campaign, and the campaigns with the Malaria Roll Back Partnership, have achieved more in a year, than most campaigns achieve in a hundred years," he said.

Microsoft founder Bill Gates, who Bono described as a "rock star" for his charitable work, said greater innovation was needed in the fight against malaria, such as developing new vaccines.

"We want to have a vaccine that has even better effect, that has hundred percent coverage, and in order to promote that, we're announcing, today, the Gates Foundation is giving an additional 168 million US dollars to the Malaria Vaccine Initiative."

The grant was one of many from the private sector announced around the meeting. The largest single pledge to the campaign was 1.1 (b) billion US dollars from the World Bank.

The Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria is giving 1.62 (b) billion over two years, Britain pledged more than 70 (m) million dollars, while Marathon Oil and a coalition of businesses pledged 28 (m) million dollars.

Significant progress in the fight against the disease has been made in parts of Africa, according to Tanzania's president.

"In Zanzibar we have reached a point where we may soon announce that malaria has been eliminated, which to us is a big success," said Jakaya Kikwete. "Of course our preoccupation now is to create the mechanism to sustain the success, so that we don't have a re-emergence."

Originally approved in 2000 by member states, the eight Development Goals are to slash poverty and hunger; achieve universal primary education; promote gender equality; reduce child mortality; improve maternal health; combat aids, malaria and other diseases; ensure environmental stability; and develop a global partnership for development.

Nearly a quarter billion people get malaria each year, according to a WHO report last week. That figure halved an earlier estimate of 500 million, based on improved measurement techniques.

WHO left unchanged its latest figure for malaria deaths: 881,000 people killed by malaria in 2006, most of them children under 5.

But to meet the plan's ambitious goals, leaders say they will need to collect donations totalling more than six(b) billion worldwide by 2010, including 2.86 (b) billion for Africa, and then spend up to 900 (m) million each year after that for more research on vaccines, drugs and other new preventative tools.
