The global death toll of the outbreak has now surpassed 1500 people officials from china where the virus started insist it will soon be over. The next spicer welcome to the Program World leaders at the new nick security conference have laid out opposing views on the health of the western alliance. U. S. Secretary of state mike pump a rejected claims that america is backing away from its global role as a democratic ally people dont pay 0 told the audience that quote the west is winning and were winning together opening the conference on friday however germanys president said the u. S. Was pushing its own National Interests over International Cooperation and that was a view echoed today by french president emmanuel back home who said it was time for europe to assert its own interests especially in defense of the you know i have in mind is a leader that is sulfur and united undemocratic and acts such and in 10 years time id like to see europe that has enough leverage to. Bring in when it comes to policy is to Technology Migration defense feeding the world also in terms of climate protection Environmental Protection and a europe which has. Relations with its neighbors russia and africa the middle east and for more on this lets go straight to do the news chief Political Editor mikhail who is in munich at the security conference. Says the west is weakening what does he mean by that. Well you actually cites an example he said that the west simply couldnt get its act together on syria essentially when there was talk of red line that was then crossed and no action followed and when then there was an opportunity for russia to move in and control the region so that thats what he used as an illustration for the weakening of the west but of course were seeing this juxtaposition with china my campaign has said that the west is winning but then mark yes but the u. S. Defense secretary came on stage after him and pretty much mapped out the major challenge from china accusing china of using any means economic and other means to pursue its own interests clearly painting a picture of a confrontation which he did true test too much that the United States wasnt seeking a big contrast it would seem between back home and what secretary of state my pump aoe is thinking lets have a listen to what he actually said. Im happy to report that the death of the tragical had to go on and is grossly over exaggerated. The west is winning we are collectively winning were doing it together. Its doing it together a lot of i think people in europe might disagree about call among them and they also said was the west is winning against china as youre saying the Chinese Foreign minister has just reacted to the u. S. Criticism however. Yes absolutely i mean he said that this accusation that china was basically only pursuing its own National Interest undermine. Its a National Institutions such as in the example of the World Trade Organization which china was allowed to join and is now being described by the United States as someone who is undermining the very rules that make up that institution of International Call us and the Chinese Foreign minister said well these are all lies that would only be true if you switched the china to america many of course the United States so if that wasnt a confrontation i dont know what is what were seeing on the european side of both in terms of funk in my a speech yesterday that was very inclusive seeking cooperation but also from a man who has a much harder to embrace that speech is really wanting to work productively constructively but also knowing of course that there is a competition in terms of the democratic systems and he said he sees a europe as a region that needs to be more emboldened in actually mapping out where differences also to that very close partner across the atlantic most to teach a cure are also capable of defending itself or defending its own interests in a whole range of areas because quite apart from the public statements and maybe posturing there are a lot of closed door meetings and meetings like this and you have any reports of progress on some of the major world issues. What i think that most concrete one that was also respond to here by the american secretary of defense was the progress in afghanistan where we understand that there is agreement with the president and also the taliban to reduce the violence aiming towards some kind of peaceful solution and were also understand that the bit of movement on ukraine behind closed doors but one things for sure is that a lot of things went even learn of about although there is a libya conference this sunday.
