secretary of state like pump aoe and french president and that no mccraw type very different pitches of the west and a lot speak also on the show. france announces the 1st day in europe from the coronavirus epidemic china's tourist dies in a french hospital as the global dispels apostles' 1600 officials from china insist the outbreak will soon be out. and in football had to been put back in action in the bundesliga this time with a new coach alexander nuri stepping up to take the reins against had a born to go can klinsmann's shop to patch. a math anyhow and thanks for joining me on the 2nd day of the munich security conference world leaders have laid out opposing views on the health of the western alliance earlier today u.s. secretary of state mark pump a.o. rejected claims that he's country is backing away from its role as

a global leader. day 2 of the munich conference one of the main speakers u.s. secretary of state mike pompei oh he began by contradicting a thesis put forward the day before by german president func father steinmeyer winning that the united states rejects the international community and the quo. here this morning to tell you the facts i'm happy to report that the death of the transatlantic alliance is grossly over exaggerated that may be but the morning's other main speaker was not so sure french president emmanuel mccall said europe must become more independent of the us soon they don't but if we have no freedom to act then we have no credibility in foreign policy and we can't be a junior partner to the united states of america mccord peo also disagreed over one of the main themes of this year's conference that the west is losing global

influence. when i look at the world as it's being shaped and that's the theme of your conference this year there is indeed a weakening of the west that looks you know this idea of what's necessary as the core theme for this year's conference and i'm sure to there many of you who would call yourself a realist. but let me give you an idea of what's real the west is winning. 15 years ago we thought that our values were universal that we were going to dominate the world in the long term that we were dominant in terms of technology military and so on and then a look at the horizon of 10 to 15 years we are going to be increasingly pushed by other agendas another values is the myth of the free west has a far brighter future than illiberal alternatives or winning or doing it together. it was left to nato secretary-general un starting back to try and smooth over the continuing transatlantic tensions europe and north america are indispensable

partners to sawicki of the same korean so when we stand together we can compete with confidence protect our interests defend values thank you. if. teri schultz has been covering the conference in munich we asked to how she viewed pump as comments on the state of the transatlantic alliance think the thing that struck me the most was how different this pompei of speech was from those we've seen in brussels or the comments that president trump makes about the european union you know normally they're all about america 1st america leading and in this case as you heard secretary pump aoe said we're a team and we are winning we're doing it together we're winning collectively and this is something i haven't heard from secretary of pompei oh before so it was very interesting to get the sense that he in

a way is trying to talk the europeans back into wanting to be transatlantic partners after the administration has done so much to turn them away. 3 shots there at the munich security conference or france has announced the 1st fatality from the corona virus in europe and i hear all chinese tourists passed away in a hospital in paris bringing the death toll outside mainland china to 4 the viruses claimed the 1600 lives so far. no panic in paris despite the news of europe's 1st death from tova at 19 the official name for the corona virus the french health minister announced that an 80 year old had succumbed to a lung infection in a hospital intensive care unit. the patient was a chinese tourists from who by a province he was admitted to the shell hospital in paris on the 25th of january and treated in complete isolation his condition deteriorated rapidly when they got there the health minister said 10 other people with the virus were doing well for

a said to be cured at the munich security conference global measures to contain the corona virus were discussed and most of all we are concerned about the potential have this virus could break in countries with weaker systems. on friday egypt reported its 1st case the 1st appearance of corona virus in africa but the overseas visitor has so far displayed no symptoms or followed on it was up to house them almost all to the health ministry and w.h.o. coordinated to implement all measures of the young patient was taken to a specialist quarantine hospital in an ambulance which was disinfected as. egypt says it's fully prepared should there be more cases but some health officials expressed concerns that the virus could easily spread in the country's crowded

cities. chief political correspondent linda crying he's at the munich security conference she spoke to mike ryan the executive director of the health emergencies program and asked him about international cooperation to combat the convenor can corona virus outbreak china has been much in focus here at the munich security conference but actually generally as a rival and a threat is it possible that that view of china could or is impeding humanitarian cooperation no i wouldn't i wouldn't say so i think what we need if we're going to beat this wire is we beat it together and that's what we've been saying just a consistent message we're in this together and the virus is the common enemy and what we want to see and it's great to see the international team arriving now in china and it's a multinational team and it contains experts from all over the world including the united states so i think we're moving forward in a very positive way you had some pretty positive things to say about china's own

efforts this morning when you spoke can you tell us why you take such a positive view view because in fact there's been a good deal of criticism as well yes in all crisis management there is criticism for mistakes there are all kinds of things we do in a crisis we are we're acting on limited information all the time in a crisis you never have the information you need to make the perfect decision which must act and what we see in a strong action in the face of a developing crisis we praised that why we praised cambodia for that ng the ship we praise all the countries in africa a week ago only 2 countries in africa have the capacity to diagnose 19 as i speak today almost all of them so everyone is acting and we praise all actions that are aimed at containing this disease but we also need to communicate with our populations in an effective way so we don't scare people. we've now seen the 1st fatality from 19 here in europe. have we artie lost the battle

to contain and exterminate coronavirus is it now here to stay. not just. new viruses emerge we don't know the future. behavior of the virus what we do know is that the virus has been outside china now for a number of weeks and we still have one he got 500 just over 500 cases in 24 countries and those countries are significantly containing the virus china significantly slow slowing it down we may not be able to slow it down entirely and we may have to wait for the development of vaccines to finally. stop the disease but what we can to save a lot of lives what we can do is take care of one little populations and get them to treat instead he should know it's not a white flags this time for action. thank you very much mike ryan now to some of the of the stories making news around the world hundreds of protesters have
