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 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 un resolution and that should lead to economy functions to a diplomatic sanctions so there was no breakthrough on. the munich security conference a positive aspect that we can see here is that the top officials keep talking about

the issue with one another and that sends a clear message to international community and very much wants to remain hands on the lead in a peace process do you foreign minister. divided want to me to impress on monday they would also be a follow up meeting meeting in geneva on tuesday and what's perhaps more significant that you started to leave in rivals are scheduled to meet up so. national army and us are actually supported by the international community will meet up and up the mom's heart and 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 illiberal. transatlantic relations under strain of what is the state of the west at the end of this security covers well i guess what really

a leadership is put into question and not least because a defined men date of angle america as a chancellor is quite terrible and. that's a europe was at the very defining moment i did our oath choose and that it needed to become an independent force with more cooperation in terms of defense or his political correspondent. thank you. and some football news now for you in the late to be honestly a match on saturday glovebox power their way of running out to for one victors on the road while a jonas hoffman opened the scoring for glove back in the 22nd minute but eric tommy backed the equaliser for just a terrific 7 minutes later a fierce in the 2nd half though a large still a make it 21 and then captain stengel increased their lead in the 77th minute before floyd annoyed house hit the target to complete route for
