those involved could agree on. the path that we have taken of separating the conflict parties from their backers remains the only promising path to end the civil war in libya. so looking ahead but europe's leaders are not speaking with one voice different e.u. governments even back opposing sides in the conflict it's threatening to become a show of european weakness that lack of common purpose was another of the conferences focal points. but after it was over the conference chairman told d.w. that europe was slowly making progress is what i thought was new and important here this year is that the european union is beginning to be bait. to how and how europe can really learn the language of power the u. foreign ministers meet to discuss the arms embargo on monday. you know as

a security conference in munich wraps up let's take stock with his follicle correspondent and rush as am i so good to have you here with us now live you took center stage today in munich and as we heard stephanie williams senior u.n. official characterizing the truce or the arms embargo as a joke a very stinging but a very true assessment is it a sign that germany's efforts and they put a lot of weight on that a conference that took place and not so long ago just went unheeded and basically toothless well those efforts have clearly not paid off so far indeed the agreement that was reached in bed in the last month has been repeatedly violated we're hearing that the truce has been violating more than a 150 times and breaking this embargo that means that that means of violating a u.n. resolution and that should lead to economy functions to

a diplomatic sanctions so there was no breakthrough on. the munich security conference the positive aspect that we can see here is that the top officials keep talking about the issue was one and all that that sends a clear message to international community and very much wants to remain hands on the lead in a peace process and you foreign minister. divided want to me to impress on monday they will also be a follow up meeting in geneva on tuesday and what's perhaps more significant that you started to leave then rivals are scheduled to meet up so. tight a veto of the national army and the us are actually supported by the international community will meet up and up the mom's power now this year's munich conference took place in the backdrop of an existential crisis and they gave it a name west listeners i gather the concept of western countries losing their

western values creeping ellipse. transatlantic relations under strain of what is the state of the west at the end of this security conference well i guess what really came out quite strongly of this conference was how diverging opinions were within the western bloc after this conference there was that battle of words between the u.s. and e.u. representatives over what the west is about what the west has achieved a way to whereas the west we had secretary of state might compare from the us saying the west is collectively winning. the german president. was warning that we're moving away from peace a big more each year the european union is divided on whether or not it should come closer or be more independent from the u.s. so really what became quite clear is that of course people were here top officials were here to take the temperature of the western blog but it's a very diverging opinions within that block and very briefly if you can mr michael

president michael she really emerged as europe's front man he emerged as the strong man of europe at a time where germany is a leadership is put into question and not least because a defining men date of angle america as a chancellor is quite turbulent but warned that a europe was at the very defining moment i did our earth choose and that it needed to become an independent force was more cooperation in terms of defense has political correspondent. thank you. fair we're going to turn our attention now to the coronavirus evacuations of u.s. passengers stuck on a cruise ship in japan have now begun after a 14 day quarantine period while today authorities were ported another 70 in sections of the coroner virus on board the diamond princess bringing that over $350.00 on the early $400.00 americans boarded buses to be taken to charter flights
