germany's president said the u.s. was pushing its own national interests over international cooperation by and that was a view echoed today by french president emmanuel mccall said it was time for europe to assert its own interests especially in defense of the you know i have in mind is a leader that is sulfur and united under law that they can act such and in 10 years time i'd like to see europe that has enough leverage to act for a and when it comes to compel the seas to acknowledge the migration of a defense feet in the world also in terms of climate protection environmental protection and a europe which has. relations with its neighbors russia africa the middle east. and for more on this let's go straight to didn't use chief political editor mikhail who is in munich at the security conference because michael says the west is weakening what does he mean by that. well you actually

cites an example he said that the west simply couldn't get its act together on syria essentially when there was talk of a red line that was then crossed and no action followed and when then there was an opportunity for russia to move in and control the region so that that's what he used as an illustration for the weakening of the west but of course we're seeing this juxtaposition with china mike from peo said that the west is winning but then mark s. but the u.s. defense secretary came on stage after him and pretty much mapped out the major challenge from china accusing tyner of using any means economic and other means to pursue its own interests clearly painting a picture of a confrontation which he did protest too much that the united states wasn't seeking a big contrast it would seem between back home and what secretary of state my comp

aoe is thinking let's have a listen to what he actually said. happy to report that the death of the tragic loss to go on and this is grossly over exaggerated. the west is winning we are collectively winning we're doing it together. it's doing it together a lot of i think people in europe might disagree on your my call among them and they also said was the west is winning against china as you're saying the chinese foreign minister has just reacted to the u.s. criticism however. yes absolutely i mean he said that this accusation that china was basically only pursuing its own. national interests undermining international institutions citing the example of the world trade organization which china was allowed to join and is now being described by the united states as someone who's undermining the very rules that make up that institution of international commerce

and the chinese foreign minister said well these are all lies it would only be true if you switched the word china to america meaning of course the united states so if that wasn't a confrontation i don't know what is what we're seeing on the european side of both in terms of funk steinmeyer speech yesterday that was very inclusive seeking cooperation but also from a man. whom grace that speech is pretty wanting to work productively constructively but also knowing of course that there is a competition in terms of democratic systems and he certainly sees a europe as a region that needs to be more emboldened in actually mapping out where differences also argue that very close partners across the atlantic most to teach a cure are also capable of defending itself and defending its own interests in a whole range of areas and quite apart from the public statements and maybe

posturing there are a lot of closed door meetings and meetings like this and you have any reports of progress on some of the major world issues. what i think that most concrete one that was also respond to here by the american secretary of defense was the progress in afghanistan where we understand that there is agreement with the president and also the taliban to reduce the violence aiming towards some kind of peaceful solution and we're also understand that the bit of movement on ukraine behind closed doors but one thing's for sure is that a lot of things went even learn of about although there is a libya conference this sunday. ok chief political correspondent and unit thanks ference cites. the coronavirus epidemic is also focusing minds of the munich security conference china's deputy foreign minister expressed confidence at the meeting that they have a democrat will soon be over in china itself

a court has threatened to impose the death penalty on people who hide symptoms of the virus more than 1500 people have died in the epidemic so far including in france which has recorded the europe the outbreak 1st fatality in europe and the virus is making life difficult for many others. for one man in china quarantine is america a way to cope with the boredom. much of china is on lockdown in beijing people returning from the chinese new year holidays to self quarantine or face punishment china says it works. great after years have been paying off. today new infections also. have been falling for 12 days running. but authorities across china are overwhelmed with the sheer number of patients especially inside who bait province in who have the

capital of patients are admitted to a new hospital with thousands of chinese traditional medicine doctors. also in hand doctors trying everything they can to tackle the virus including shaving their heads in case pathogens in their hair spread the virus and outside china thousands are also in quarantine the united states announcing it will effect to its citizens from the diamond princess currently docked in japan just one of many ships in asia that are on lockdown. the big question now is have infections of the fire speak no one can tell for sure cortines seem to be working but the world health organization is still focused on what they're calling the unknowns how the virus spreads and how it responds to different treatments. time now to take a look at some of the other stories making news around the world. the u.s. is raising tariffs on aircraft imported from the european union the hike from 10 to

15 percent is part of a long running dispute involving america's boeing and europe's airbus world trade organization has declared european subsidies to air bus illegal allowing the u.s. to impose tariffs. women marched in cities across mexico on friday to protest murders of women and the way authorities deal with them the protests were sparked by a particularly gruesome killing in mexico city last week and the leaking of photos of the victim's body by police. 16 children have died in a fire at an orphanage in haiti the home outside the capital port au pass was run by a u.s. based nonprofit group authorities say the blaze may have been started by candles used during one of haiti's frequent blackouts. shock and sorrow outside the building that was home to more than 60 children half of the victims were babies or toddlers. i would count as

a teacher i'm here to help the children i'm like a father to them ah didn't know what happened there was nothing i could do when i arrived i assume of the 15 corpses. rescue workers said they could have saved more lives but lacked bottled oxygen and the ambulances needed to transport all of the injured children to a hospital. couldn't get to the top floor quick. take some children who were conscious to hospital unfortunately some of them couldn't get the treatment they needed or silly also. the home was run by a u.s. based nonprofit religious group that lost its operating license because of unsanitary and overcrowded conditions and insufficiently trained staff but in this desperately poor country there are hundreds of such care centers for children

placed there by parents too destitute to support them. and we turn to sports now and european soccer's governing body has shown a red card to english side manchester city for the next 2 years that's because of quote serious financial fair play breaches and city says it will appeal the decision man city has won 4 premier league title since 2012 including the last 2 but now the fireworks could come to an abrupt if you wait the imposition of a 2 year ban on european competition along with a hefty fine of $30000000.00 euros is the most severe it is handed down since financial fair play regulations were created simply put clubs can't spend too much more than they earn the cost controls were put in place in 2011 to lessen the growing gap between rich clubs and poor wants and to manage the growing debt crisis man city owned by shaykh monsoor a member of the abu dhabi royal family has been foul of f f p regulations in the

past the club was fined 60000000 euros and had their champions league squad reduced in 2014 following its investigation you wait for a rule that man city overstated its sponsorship revenue in its account submitted to the body between 20122016 city plan to appeal the ban as soon as possible with the court of arbitration for sport and potentially making things worse city could yet face additional punishment in england where their financial dealings are still being investigated by the premier league and joins me now in the studio as a reporter you just heard in that report chris harrington from sports press so you a 5 band man at sydney it is appealing what's the evidence here well you know the evidence are leaked documents which are basically emails man city officials and that could be problematic i'll tell you why back in november man city tried to stop

you a physical education before it was concluded the court of arbitration for sport said no we have to wait till it's finished. comeback and properly appeal but they did agree with some of these arguments one being this is a you a for which the other one being these documents were obtained illegally and the court conceded that if that is the case that is worrisome if those documents aren't directly linked to any way for officials and as we know in a court of law if that evidence that you're stating your case on is shaky in the whole you know case in itself you know it could be successfully appealed by man city whether it's admissible or not how does this affect manchester as as a soccer powerhouse in england well obviously this is a dark cloud over man city right now but you know if the band does stay and they lose their appeal process you know i would call it the 3 p.'s and you can add an extra for you know the prestigious you know clubs love competing in the top tier competition in the champions league believe they have a huge profit of windfall they get 100000000 euros for competing in the competition

and then you have to look at a lot of young upcoming talent the players players are not going to want to obviously suit up for man city if they have no opportunity to be featured in the top tier european club competition or in their coach pep guardiola his contract extends in 2020 what he says right now he trusts the club and thinks there is no wrongdoing he trusts what his bosses say but obviously he might depart as well but we have to wait and see the appeal process could be a long process and we can actually see the band extended to more years in a man city could be participating in the next champions league comp and just real quickly gaze in your crystal ball what are the chances of winning here until you know they they have a target on their back right now you know you know i think a lot of things happen behind closed doors it doesn't look good for man city have to be honest with ok you know because chris harrington from our sports for thanks for that ok. stay with you for our continuing coverage of the new knicks security conference where facebook co-founder mark zuckerberg is scheduled to appear later
