melinda crane is in munich for us now.address, the german president was highly critical of the big powers. we are talking about china, russia, the united states. tell us more. what exactly did the german president say? melinda: as mentioned in your report, he essentially accused them of putting national interests first, of prioritizing their own perceived needs, undermining international institutions and international rules and norms, and thereby making the world as a whole less secure. he said that when we come to the point that countries see their interest in terms of a zero-sum game, meaning their strength is others' weakness, and vice versa, that in the end, we will be unable to solve the pressing problems the world faces -- problems ranging from nuclear escalation and essentially the decline of the architecture of international arms control, and climate change. he said very clearly, and many speakers have echoed his words following his address, that we absolutely must have multilateral initiatives to address these pro

take a closer look at the story with the dublin chief political correspondent melinda crane welcome so we have a state crimea who is a member of a f.d.p. who was elected because a vote for his own party the c.d.u. in the far right anywhere else is sort of cross party support to be held as a victory for consensus politics so why is this a problem in germany. 1st of all because of this country's history because of the fact that the rise of the nazis in the 20th century brought disaster throughout europe and that is a very strong reason for the fact that there is an absolute red line when it comes to cooperating with the far right secondly this particular party the a.f.d. its local branch in the state of the regio were all of this took place is particularly rabid it has statements of party positions that very much echo some of those of the nazis very anti migrant very discriminatory and it is in fact under watch by the german security services so the fact that mainstream parties like the liberal free democrats or the chancellors conservatives the c.d.u. that they actually voted side by si

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 po

the course of the day for now that melinda crane at the munich security conference thank you. well a syrian government offensive in a province is leading to even ever greater numbers of refugees or people trying to get out of a labor heading for the nearby turkish border the u.n. estimates that 140000 have fled their homes in the last 3 days germany is already home to hundreds of thousands of syrians who fled the conflict over the last 9 years and those with family members stuck in the war zone feel powerless to protect them we spoke with a man who fled syria in 2015 and hope that his family would soon follow him but that hope proved wrong. check the news from syria on social media all the time where did the latest bomb fall who or what was hit while he is in safety here in germany the rest of his family are in mortal danger in egypt. he is desperately worried. whenever i eat or drink i think of my children do they have anything to eat on the ill do they have a warm blanket or are there. his sons mohammad and 9 and 10 years old he had to leave them with their grandparents and

and let's bring in chief political correspondent melinda crane in munich melinda the meeting in on libyais over now. what's the takeaway for you. well 2 main points that indicate steps toward real follow up to that berlin summit in january the 1st one is that the members of this meeting today here in munich decided that a follow up committee will be established at senior official level it will have a rotating chairmanship it will be essentially hosted under the u.n. auspices and it will seek to ensure that there is real follow up both to the berlin agreement and also to the u.n. resolution that was agreed upon just this past week 2nd aspect and this is very important as you mentioned the weapons embargo that was agreed on in berlin with the aim of drying up the supply of support to the warring parties in libya and believe me they are receiving a lot of support from various actors international actors that embargo was violated almost as soon as the participants left berlin now this meet this declaration put out today very clearly deplores those breaches and says that all parties are commi

on to melinda crane that melinda typically of the real business of a gathering like the munich security conference is conducted offstage behind the scenes what do you think is going on. well there are there are a couple of perennial topics in here and then a couple of new ones as well one of the current is ukraine always something that is very important as leaders from the region come together this conference as you said offers the opportunity for national leaders. other important global actors to come together behind closed doors to talk about how to make progress for example in trying to bring peace to east ukraine so that's that's as i said a perennial here but there are a couple of new topics as well that will be of great importance 1st of all libya germany in january hosted a major international meeting of all the players who in one way or another are involved in the conflict of libya trying to get agreement from all of them to cut off flows of arms and financial support to the warring parties there and there's been some concern about the follow up or lack of follow up to that meet

are for more let's bring in our chief political correspondent melinda crane she's on the story for us tonight good evening to you melinda friedrich meds and uncle america what we know they have rarely seen things. if he were to become leader of the party might she rethink her current plan to remain chancellor until next year. that could well happen it's not only her plan of course she is at the head of a government whose official term goes until 2021 and she has said she would stay out that term but the fact is that these 2 fried fish mats and america they have a long history their rivalry goes way back and in fact she proved such a nemesis for him that he wound up leaving politics altogether for many years he is distinctly to the right of chancellor merkel if you remember he was the author of that term lead in culture to describe the idea that germany needed to return to a stronger sense of its national identity all of that could make them very easy bedfellows so to speak so many people do speculate that if he were to become the head of the party that she might step down earlier whic

we can go latest from database chief political correspondent belinda crime welcome melinda friedrich interesting character he going to medical have rarely seen eye to eye so if he became leader might she rethink her current strategy of staying on until next year. quite possible it's not only her strategy she is the elected chancellor and her term expires with the next election in the autumn of 2021 but many observers say that because uncle americal is in a way a nemesis for math he actually stepped down from politics years ago because of a power struggle with her which he had lost because they simply see things very very differently that if they were to try to work side by side with him as party leader and she serving out her term as chancellor it could become quite quite difficult which is why some people think that if he does in fact become the party leader we could very well see her step down early and new elections following and so if again we're in the early stages but if he became party leader the presumably would mean that he would then succeed angela merkel and try to run for

now tracking this story closely for us as ever is our chief political correspondent melinda crane melinda ultimately this was a democratic election of a state premier with cross party support anywhere else this would have been hailed as a victory for consensus politics but you know here why because most other countries don't have germany's history they don't have germany's record in the 20th century of nazis bringing catastrophe onto europe and the world so this is a country that is particularly sensitive about anything that can be perceived to be seen as cooperation or coordination with the far right now in this case the coordination was in direct and yet we heard the c.d.u. party leader saying very clearly that indirect cooperation is still a taboo now in this particular case in this state the far right party the a.f.p. is a particularly rabid one it is under surveillance by german security services for possibly being a threat to democracy so the taboo is real the red lines are real but they were defied by the local conservatives despite clear orders from berlin. all right i think we ha

now tracking this story closely for us as ever is our chief political correspondent melinda crane melinda ultimately this was a democratic election of a state premier with crossed party support anywhere else this would have been hailed as a victory for consensus politics but not here why. because most other countries don't have germany's history they don't have germany's record in the 20th century of nazis bringing catastrophe onto europe and the world so this is a country that is particularly sensitive about anything that can be perceived to be seen as cooperation or coordination with the far right now in this case the coordination was in direct and yet we heard the c.d.u. party leader saying very clearly that indirect cooperation is still a taboo now in this particular case in this state the far right party the a.f.p. is a particularly rabid one it is under surveillance by german security services for possibly being a threat to democracy so the taboo is real the red lines are real but they were defied by the local conservatives despite clear orders from berlin or and i think we have som

let's get more from dublin chief political correspondent melinda crane welcome belinda many people going to look at this is being an odd story we have a state premier who is a member of the f d p who was elected because of vote from his own party the c.d.u. and the far right if they anywhere else this sort of cross party support would be held as a victory for consensus politics so why is it a problem in germany. because of german history the far right here especially in the state of the regio which is the state where all of this is taking place does have ties with extreme political movements that are very close to nazis and it is a taboo in this country because of its 20th century history because of the 2nd world war to have any form of co-operation with parties that far to the right of the spectrum extremist parties and it must be said that one logical reason for that is that by coordinating or cooperating in any form in this case it was that these parties as you said voted alongside each other for a member of the liberal feed free democrats to become the state premier any form of coord

we want to bring in our chief political correspondent melinda crane good evening to you did this. while. set off a minor political earthquake here in germany. that's right well 1st of all because germany's mainstream political parties until now have considered any form of cooperation with the right wing a.f.d. to be off limits politically taboo and that includes both the chancellors christian democrats and the business friendly free democrats mr kennedy's party now suddenly those 2 parties appear to have coordinated their 3rd round voting today with the far right party the f.t. and i must say that the chapter into ringing is a particularly rabid far right chapter so by doing so these mainstream parties have lent an aura of legitimacy to the a.f.d. party and they also open themselves up to questions about what the f.d.a. might be expecting in return that's reason number one reason number 2 mr cameron represents a party that barely scraped into the regional parliament and which barely made the 5 percent vote hurdle so many through the region voters will be asking is it to mock recei

south asia and while we haven't seen cases there yet, we need to be prepared and so the bill and melindan, we are working closely with the africa centres for disease control to prepare, to help strengthen the ability to detect, isolate and treat patients should this infection arrive in those very vulnerable countries. and of course, chinese workers have such a huge presence. is there concern people who travelled back home for the lunar new year are coming back to places they worked across the continent, perhaps bringing the virus with them? well, i think if you look at the global patterns of trade and travel, people travel everywhere, from many, many places and so right now, the efforts are to isolate and contain this infection. china is making some heroic efforts to do that. we've already seen infections however and 25 other countries so the countries in sub—saharan africa and south asia need to be prepared for this infection so having the ability to detect and identify and isolate and treat those patients, should they have this infection, is quite important. one of the things we've see

s chief political correspondent melinda crane. that could well happen and it's not only her plan of course she is at the head of a government whose official term goes until 2021 and she has said she would stay out that term but the fact is that these 2. and they have a long history there and status john lennon once complained that the worst thing about being in the beatles was not being able to have a pint and the phil and paul mccartney return that in 2018 to play a surprised good. friend. coming up next is news africa with christine you can keep up with all the latest news and information around the clock on our website it's d.w. dot com i'm told me all logical thanks for joining us. coach of british. joining us from africa. or link to exceptional stories and discussions. of easy town while website debutantes much pick up join us on facebook at g.w. for.

well to police chief political correspondent melinda crannies at the munich security conference she spoke to mark ryan the executive director of the dublin by charles health emergencies program and asked him about international cooperation to combat the corona virus outbreak china has been much in focus here at the munich security conference but actually generally as a rival and a threat is it possible that that view of china could or is impeding humanitarian cooperation no i wouldn't i wouldn't say so i think what we need if we're going to beat this wire is we beat it together and that's what we've been saying just a consistent message we're in this together and the virus is the common enemy and what we want to see and it's great to see the international team arriving now in 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

community in munich's attention so hopefully now why do you think that is i mean when i was speaking with melinda crane one of our correspondents she said she's been at this conference 20 years and this is really the 1st time that climate change has been seriously discussed. you know i think that it's that it's a very traditional community i think the other thing is that right now i think it's been seen as something that's quite far away and the security community is looking at conflicts right now but the impacts are now happening now you just need to look at the chaos that happened in australia the fires that are around the world i think it's maybe it's had that much more that they need to deal with it now it's short term it's it's current. increasingly climate change being discussed in security terms of mean specifically what sorts of threats are you were following true which threats to the panel talk about. well the threats can vary the threats can be for example if there's already a volatile situation somewhere and then you have a droughts and you have conflicts over agricultural you know ove

to the end of this government with angela merkel in place as chancellor and not with somebody else melinda crane there was 75 years ago today in the final months of world war 2 the british an american aircraft began bombing in the german city of dresden in the days of followed were planes dropped incendiary bombs and killed thousands of people many of them women and children fleeing the soviet armies advance in the east there has been much debate about whether the bombing was a justifiable military attack or an unnecessary tragedy we met one of the survivors in this now rebuilt city. when aaron steers comes to the neuer markt public square and sees the restored. he is reminded of the dresden bombings 75 years ago. here. and everything was destroyed and this was where most of the people were killed in the fire storm then on the next day the taste and falling kisha collapsed yes the square was reduced to rubble more than. on the evening of february 13th 1945 over the span of just 15 minutes the allied forces dropped bombs containing 900 tons of explosives on dressed and during the next 2 day

behind in all of our diagnostic capabilities for respiratory infections and that's why the bill and melinda gates foundation has invested a huge amount of funds to improve our diagnostics so i think what the problem that you just saw in han is not too different from any respiratory diagnostic that's a matter and that's the question of sensitivity in order to be able to detect a virus early on in the infection because presumably they're not a lot of virus particles around for you to easily diagnose it so this is not actually unusual for somebody to test negative early on and then as the infection worsens as the viral load accumulates that it becomes positive we've seen this scene play out over and over again and so that's a problem you know again when this is a brand new infectious disease agent and trying to get your arms around it when you don't really know the mode of transmission there's a lot of that we still don't know the mode of transmission in detail we we think it's through droplet contact but there may be airborne transmission there may even be fecal oral transmission and this tak
