this is due to every news line from berlin a new vent to stop the brutal civil war in libya the conflict is still awash with weapons all now the european union has agreed to wear new a naval mission enforcing the u.n. arms embargo but will it be enough also coming up on the rise again china reports that the number of people infected with the coronavirus has gone up after 2 days of an apparent trough in cases almost 90 percent of the new infections are in the city of war hot plus the people line up for grid in sujata shortages of fuel and foreign

currency are also hampering the country's economic revival we hear from the man even to usher in democracy after decades of dictatorship. and in the fullness like a buyer to return to the top of the table after crushing cologne they're back in the groove and that's not good news for the rest of the german top flight. thank you so much for joining us the european union has agreed on a new naval mission to monitor at the un embargo on arms deliveries to libya in a foreign ministers meeting in brussels today were split over whether to resume the mission at all italy and austria were concerned that european ships were trolling the coast could encourage. for migrants to attempt to cross the mediterranean while

libya is still awash with arms and fighting is still raging despite the arms embargo a top u.n. official has said a truce agreed last month had been violated 150 times over it want to take you to brussels to correspondent teri schultz who has been following the foreign ministers meeting terry says the un's deputy special envoy to libya calls the arms embargo a joke what have you foreign ministers are decided and are they going to police and he breaches of the embargo and what they were discussing today and it was not by any means certain that they would come to this agreement is to reestablish the mission that used to be known by the name of operation sophia at that time it was a dual hatted mission picking up migrants who were stranded who were drowning and also policing the u.n.

arms embargo trying to stop weapons from getting into libya that was suspended because austria italy other countries said we don't want to bring these people to europe with no agreement on where to send them on and where to sort of partition out of the migrants as they waited asylum processing so now despite skepticism they have agreed to reestablish the arms embargo side of that mission now what we know so far is that they've agreed in principle which means there's probably a lot more details to be worked out and we're going to be hearing from e.u. foreign policy chief joseph burrell within the next hour hopefully even within the next few minutes about exactly what conditions were placed by some of these reluctant countries on the arms embargo monitoring mission is that's going to be incredibly important indeed is there a sense among e.u. leaders terry that there is a need for europe to play a more assertive role when it comes to libya. absolutely there's a need for everyone to play a more assertive role when it comes to libya think about this meeting in berlin

a month ago that raised such optimism that something really was going to be moving now you have turkey which supports and arms the u.n. backed libyan government you have russia which supports and arms general star who has been determined to retake tripoli by military means both of those parties agreed in berlin to stop this to observe a cease fire to stop shipping weapons into their favored parties and there was hope that this actually would happen instead as you mentioned the u.n. says the fighting has not stopped the arms have not stopped and so the e.u. with limited means is not going to get involved militarily said at least we can try to monitor who continues to send weapons and call them out and perhaps stop some of the shipments but that said if countries want it governments as powerful as turkey and russia want weapons to be delivered to libya. e.u. naval monitoring mission is not going to stop it unfortunately and that brings me

to my final question terry what does the response to the unrest in libya until this point tell us about the aspirations and the ambitions of the block to play a more prominent geo political role. joseph burrell when he took over this job as the foreign policy chief made clear his exasperated with e.u. foreign policy when everyone says well there's no military solution to this and so the e.u. just throws up its hands and does nothing he said specifically we have to stop doing that if we want to matter at all if we want not to be not to be played on the world stage if we want to be players so he's been pushing for a more assertive geo political role and over the weekend in munich he actually said that it was ridiculous that a country like austria which wasn't even talking about putting in a ship in a naval mission would be able to block everyone else from doing so so this is raised questions about how the e.u. makes foreign policy decisions and that discussion will affect a lot of a lot of other issues as well in this case it appears that burrell has won and that

he will be getting this monitoring mission remains to be seen how effective it will be but this is a victory at least until i hear more details that show otherwise this is a victory for burrell's wish to play a more geopolitical role on the world stage do you have your correspondent teri schultz thank you. all right to the next and we're going to turn our attention to china because that country is now reporting an increase in the number of new cases of the coronavirus reversing the trend of the last 2 days well the government also says the death toll now stands at 1800 and that more than 70000 people are infected with the virus across the country. in china's hoop a province the epicenter of the outbreak new report cases are again on the rise after 2 days of declining figures in mainland china alone officials say the total number of confirmed cases is over 70000 with nearly 1800 deaths.

chinese president xi jinping is now facing criticism over why the public was not alerted sooner to the outbreaks potential severity official media recently released an internal speech he gave an apparent attempt to show the communist party leadership acted decisively from the start but instead it revealed china's top leaders knew about the outbreaks dangers weeks before the president publicly addressed the problem. and euro china's military has now dispatched hundreds more medical workers and extra supplies to a bit to shore up the city's overwhelmed health care system. and our earlier correspondent sibling or told us about the fallout from the release of president xi stage. yeah this speech that we're talking about is a speech that he held on the 3rd of february that is 2 weeks ago it was published in chile sure that's the party's theoretical magazine that party

that spreads party ideology the interesting thing most of it is about combating a war against the virus and his leadership but the interesting thing is that he said in that speech that he had been cheering the battle against the virus from january the 7th now that was the time when authorities still denied that they were ayers was dangerous and this period of denial is seen as one of the main causes for the spread of the virus so he is now basically opening the failures from the beginning and that's quite remarkable that he has said this over me and this could be published in the party magazine it's might be that they're confident to win the battle and that the initial failure is will stand back behind these massive efforts that they're bringing on now to combat the virus it might be that he couldn't evade any more. this acknowledgement because the fact that he has not been seen during

this period is also has also drawn a lot of criticism we don't know really the motives behind it but we know that we are in the period now when it's when when this battle against the virus is something that dominates the whole country today just we have seen news that most probably the 2 sessions the annual session of the parliament will be postponed this is a major step in this political system that does not like surprises to their schedule . mentees boeing they're reporting from china while meanwhile hundreds of korean american passengers have been evacuated from the cruise ship diamond princess in the japanese port of yokohama 2 planes carrying the passengers have arrived in the u.s. where they'll remain in quarantine for another 2 weeks they were confined to the ship after a man who disembarked in hong kong tested positive for the virus the
