Last year Bill Gates the billionaire received publicity for his philanthropy (here and here) from Tom Brokaw, the longtime anchor at NBC. Now Gates turns to ABC's Charles Gibson for A Closer Look sitdown to discuss the good works achieved by his $20bn in donations. The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation has launched the Living Proof Project to audit the efficacy of its spending. Gibson was worried that the couple was just throwing their money away: "The problems are so enormous.

Melinda reassured him that a pair of foundation vaccines--one for diarrhea and one for pneumonia--has saved 2.5m African lives.
