this is live from berlin is the west winning. well it certainly depends on who you ask at the munich security conference. happy to report that the death of the transatlantic alliance is pro-choice over exaggerated. 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. us secretary of state mike in french president emanuel not paint very different pictures of the western alliance we have the latest from. the 1st death in europe from the coronavirus

a chinese tourist dies in a french hospital as the global death toll surpasses 1600. and in football we're back in action in the bundesliga this time with a new coach alexander nerdy stepping up to take the reins again. after going klinsmann shock departure. a michael thanks for joining us world leaders and policy makers are wrapping up the 3rd and final day of the munich security conference the crisis in syria and support for nato are major topics but the conference has also seen leaders give opposing views on the cohesiveness of the western alliance french president and all has said that europe should. recent independence after calling for strategic dialogue over

the role of france's nuclear weapons in european defense. spoke with the german foreign minister heiko mosse in munich he said microphones comments could prompt europe to take a more critical look at its own role in the transatlantic alliance as a vivid we will accept the invitation to this strategic dialogue we believe that we 1st need to decide within europe how to meet the increased demands in the future we will have to do more for our security but i think it would be a mistake to put europe against the us. as it were in its security alliance that works nato but it needs reform and we're discussing that now we want to both so the european side of nato and to do that we 1st need to reach consensus in europe the dialogue that the manuel mccrone has proposed complaisant ific a role in this and that's why we will take part in this

a m m. chief political correspondent melinda crane is covering the security conference for us in munich in joins me now. today is the last day of the conference what can we expect. well this was traditionally middle eastern day when the conference discuss the various conflicts in the middle east ranging from syria to libya and elsewhere interestingly enough this year that's been pushed to the sidelines we do have a big libya meeting later on today and today's talk will be about a euro vision and i don't mean the song contest and i also don't mean the discussion we had here yesterday about a stronger foreign policy and international defense role for europe but rather what you're it can do to provide a stronger vision for its own people for its citizens and also for its neighbors now you might say what does that have to do with a conference on. security well the feeling here is that europe's peace and

stability are threatened not only from outside by conflicts on its borders and internationally but also from within by citizens disappointment and frustration over rising inequality over political polarization the rise of right wing sentiments within european countries and the rise of illiberal democracy also within the e.u. member states as well as as on europe's perimeter have got people here concerned and that will be the topic of the 1st 2 discussions today including how europe can offer a really promising prospect of enlargement to neighboring countries that have been waiting a long time for a clear vision forward and which are increasingly subject to corruption and even to state capture by powerful elites because of frustration about where that european

accession process is leading well we also understand that diplomats are meeting on the sidelines to discuss libya as you know melinda fresh peacemaking process was initiated in berlin last month and many libyans hoping to see concrete progress towards peace here's an in-depth look for our viewers and then we'll talk again on the other side. education is just one of the casualties of war. but with the french and cease fire in place schools in libya's capital tripoli are beginning to reopen their doors for now at least. this man though general halifax hafter has been fighting hard to take this city. with the help of his cell starved militia he already controls most of this oil rich nation

a nation that's been in chaos since the 2011 nato backed uprising that toppled colonel more market daffy it's partly because of oil that russia and turkey have waited in on either side of this conflict with turkey behind fire as russia's un backed government and russia supporting hafta moscow has denied past reports that it sent to mercenaries to reinforce the general's fight is but last month turkey confirmed it had deployed troops to help alsa rise in tripoli despite a un arms embargo. in a bid to break the deadlock germany hosted an international peace summit in berlin but the cease fire and arms embargo that followed that january meeting have continued to be violated. please raise your hands. on wednesday the u.n. security council passed a resolution calling for

a last thing cease fire in libya with the adoption of this resolution the security council sent an important signal for peace in libya reaffirming the concrete commitments of all participants of the berlin conference. it is crucial for libya now that we are able to send this signal of unity but with russia or abstaining this was hardly a show of unity for these students in tripoli though anything that stops the fighting is worth it. melinda as we speak of roughly a dozen foreign ministers are represented and representatives of international organizations are talking about ending the conflict in libya what kind of decisions might come out of those talks. well one of the main objectives on the agenda is how to get real adherents to the weapons embargo and and talk of a cease fire that began in berlin were promptly violated as soon as that conference

essentially came to an end weapons were once again flowing to the various conflict parties in libya so today's meeting brings together an expanded circle of foreign ministers and delegations as well as as non-governmental organizations to talk about how this principle that they have all agreed to in practice namely that weapons shouldn't the longer flow to the warring parties how that can be enforced in practice one idea is to reinvigorate a mission in the mediterranean that had been aimed at trying to prevent human smuggling there with involving various european countries that would now essentially mutate into a mission that would enter diked weapons shipments to libya now this is a controversial topic but they will be discussing it here today and that will also

serve as a prelude for a meeting tomorrow of european foreign ministers in brussels to talk about the same issues so essentially all of this adding up to europe's intention to take a stronger role very much with germany playing a leading role as the host of that berlin process trying to really do something to essentially promote peacemaking on what is europe's southern southern flank. cranium you know force thank you so much. now to other stories making news around the world. more than 30 civilians have been killed in saudi led airstrikes in yemen the attacks appear to be retaliation for the downing of one of riyadh's warplanes the rebels said they brought down the tornado aircraft the incidents come amid intensifying fighting between the rebels and forces of the saudi backed government. the 2nd storm in
