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 lee winning that the united states rejects the international community and quote. 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 mccaw 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 looks you don't this idea of what's in this list 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 and 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 2 sides of the same korean so when we stand together we can compete with confidence protect our interests the friend over values thank you. if. these teri schultz has been covering the conference in munich we asked to how she viewed my 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 pompei oh 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 pump aoe 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. results there at the munich security conference well john has reported a drop in new coronavirus cases for the 3rd straight day beijing says the decline is evidence that the country's efforts to control the spread of the disease are working this comes after france announced the 1st fatality from the corona virus in europe and i see your old chinese tourist passed away in hospital in paris bringing the death toll outside mainland china to for the viruses claimed of a 1600 lives. no panic in paris despite the news of europe's 1st death from coated 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 surface the patient was a chinese tourists from who by a province he was admitted to be shot hospital in paris on the 25th of january and

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 jurors criticism for mistakes there are all kinds of things we do in a crisis we were 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 praise that when we praise cambodia for having 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 already 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 a bit of 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 $24.00 countries and those countries are significantly containing the virus and china's 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 our wonderful populations and get them to treat me stephanie so no it's not no time for white flags this is the time
